A Wedding Story,

The homily with which our marriage
service closes lacks intrinsic cheerful
ness and its peculiar charms, actual or
suggestive, are seldom appreciated by
the more youthful class of brides. Nei-
ther, despite its slight indelicacy, do all
| brldegrooms relish it with perfect Zest,
| although, III summarizing the obliga-
tlons of matrimony, it puts the case for
| the husband great deal more advan-
tageously than for the wife. 1 remem-
Der an odd incident, illustrative of the OBJ
Jections entertained toward this tiresome
exodium by men of the "Time is mon
ey" and "Self-help" ways of thinking.
1t took place at the second wedding Of
an honorable and gallant friend of mine,
whose humor was abundant, but of the
variety known as "dry." He was being
married, let us say, at South Shields o
good many years ago, and, having been
through the ceremony before, as prin-
cIpal, was sharply on the lookout for the
homily, which he regarded in the light
OF vexatious superfuity. Accordingly
when the curate-a young and some
what nervous ecclesiastic-had contem-
plated the "buckling-to" part of the
service, and was mildly bleating out the
exhortation to "hear what Saint Paul
saith" Captain P held up his hand,
to the offioiants utter dismay, and inter-
rupted him with the words. 81 beg
your pardon, sir; but are we legally
married" "Why, yes; certainly you
are, was the hesitating reply. "Then,
sir" rejoined the captain, ''I'll not trou-
ble you to tell us what Saint Paul said.
Saint Paul may have been a very good
fellow, but he wasn't O South Shields
man. This said, he gave his arm to
his newl y-made wife, and led her away
calmly In the direction of the vestry.
The curate, it appears, entertained SO
high an opinion of the occult virtues OF
the homIly, and of the beneficial effect
they could not fail to exercise upon q
young married compile, that he took my
friend aside few minutes before the
wedding breakfast and timidly asked
him whether he would permit him, the
said curate, to impart Saint Paul's views
to him and Mrs. P orally on their re-
turn from their honeymoon trip2 To
this question, dictated by professional
zeal which would have done credit to
an Early Christian, my friend returned
polite, but evasive, answer. When,
however, husband and wife came back
to their native town, at the conclusion
of what the Germans SO happily term
"Die Flitterwochen, they were SO OBJ
viously happy pair, aud the subse-
quent harmony of their married life
proved SO delightfully."- continuous, as far
as their many friends and acquaintances
knew, that the reverend enthusiast neY-
er found occasion to "place" his favorite
homily, and wisely left at least two of
his welded parishioners to work out
their connubial felicity in their own
way.-LOndOn Telegraph.

How Jacksonville Got the Fever.

The proposition that all the world loves
lover probably does not hold good in
jacksonville now. This whole yellow fe-
yer business is love affair, or the result
of love affair. Mccormick, the man who
brought the yellow fever to Jackson
vile, was lover. His sweetheart was
in Tampa and Tampa was isolated on ac-
count Of yellow fever. But yellow fever
or no yellow fever, Mccormick wanted
to see his girl; SO he managed to pass
the Gordon and steal an interview with
his love. Then he came back to Jack
sonville and brought yellow fever with
him. Surgeon-General Hamilton is au-
thority for this short history of the
spread of yellow fever. 1t is another
confirmation of the wisdom of the sage
who once declared there was woman at
the bottom of every mischief Wa'ting-
tan Post.

THE DISAPPOINTED.

There are songs enough for the hero,
Who dwells on the height of fame;
I sing for the disappointed
For those who missed their aim.
l sing with fearful cadence
For one who stands in he lark.
And knows that his last, b It arrow
Has bounded back from the mark,
l sing for the breathless runner,
The eager, anxious soul,
Who falls, with his strength exhausted.
Almost in sight of the goal.
For the hearts that break in silence
With u sorrow all unknown,
For tnose who need companions,
Het walk their ways alone.
There are songs enough for The lovers
Who share loves tender pain;
l sing for the one whose passion
Is given all in vain.
For those whose spirit comrades
Have missed them on the way,
sing with heart o'erfowing
This minor strain to-day.
And know the solar system
Must somewhere keep in space,
a prize for tist .)ent runner
Who barely lost the race.
For the pain would be imperfect, g.
Unless it held some sphere,
That paid fer the toll and talent
And love that are wasted here.
