A Short Marriage Service.

have ever heard Of" said talkative
man, "Was performed by the Rev. DR..
Turner, now in the Minnesota Con-
ference" Then the talkative fellow
talked on in this lively strain:
CDR. Turner was In charge of the
Vincennes circuit at the time. One
evening he was hurrying his toilet in
preparation for marriage that he
was to perform at eight O'Clock at
the home of one of his flock. He was
late and very much afraid that he
couldn't catch the place of appoint
ment in time. just as he got his
white tie adjusted, and was getting
himself into his coat, a knock was
heard on the parsonage door. DR..
DR.. Turner took up his hat, stepped
to the door and opened it. A young
man stood outside. DR.. Turner
asked his business. The young man
was 1urried; but he managed to say
he wanted to get married, and handed
the parson marriage license:
"Well," said DR.. Turner, II can't
do it tonight. l am hurrying now to
perform another ceremony. Pm
already late"
"But, pleaded the young man, ''it
won't take long"

the preacher came out and closed the
door, walking rapidly away.

man desperately, and he ran after
the minister, ..you surely can marry
us. 1t won't take you but a minute"
where's the lady?"
Fright back here" and the young
man pointed to figure standing in
the shadow of a tree.
"Well. come on" DIR. Turner said,
and the two went back where the girl
stood.
"Is this the woman you want to
marry?"
eyes," said the young man.
"Then you are man and wife. Good
night" And away he went, leaving
the pair speechless. 1t was a minute |
before the newly-made husband re-
covered enough to run after the
preacher, who was rapidly disappear
ing in the dark.
"Mr. Turner! Mr.. Turner! he cried.
well, what is it?said thepreacher,
pausing
"Why, was that all ? will that do"
eyes, yes, that will do. You are
just as much married as if I'd gone
through a yard of ceremony. Good
night" And again he hurried away,
reaching his appointment just in the
nick of time.
The young man went slowly back
to his bride, and spent the next hour
or two in satisfying her that she was
really married.

Caught by Camphor.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

TOm bue hiuuoiPhid kOuSOAs
Assistant Superintendent Dougher-
ty, of the Pinkerton agency, attri-
butes the detection and capture of Ex-
press Agent Huber, of Sunbury, Pa,
for the theft of the $29, 900 package
belonging to the Adams Express Co.
on August 20, 1886 to two things
camphor and a woman's indiscretion.
He said that Mrs. Huber had been
boasting among her friends of what
she would be able to wear some day,
and threw out hints of big legacy.
Afterward she gave finer parties,
dinner parties and other entertain
ments to her friends, and had had
her house furnished and carpeted,
and new heating apparatus put in.
1t was known that her relatives were
not wealthy. Huber also began
wearing better apparel.
Capt. Dougherty said that after
suspicion had been directed toward
Huber, a Pinkerton agent, who got
his confidence. borrowed 81 900 from
him. Capt. Linden and Dougherty
discovered a strong odor Of camphor
on the money. They argued that
it had not come from a bank but had
been secreted in a house. Itwasfound
that Huber had had handsome
mahogany box made with secret COM
partments. After while the detect
i've got Huber interested in mining
schemes and obtained another 81 900
loan. This time Huber was followed
to his home where he got the money.
The conclusion was irresistible that
the stolen funds were secreted there.
Huber was decoyed to Philadelphia
under the pretence that he was to be
witness in the case of Rathmal Pratt,
a clerk in the office here, who was
arrested two years ago on suspicion
of stealing the money. Captain
Linden started for Sunbury on
the very hour when Huber took
the train for Philadelphia. Cap
tain Linden went straight for the
mahogany boxin Huber's house, and
in that receptacle found the camphor
and a good part of the money, and
behind mantel was more oft. The
Adams Express envelopes, which had
contained the cash, still he'd most Of

An Unfair Advantage.

In the early days, Kline's ranch, in
southwestern Colorado, was fa-
nous stopping-place for the stage
coaches, and there was always a
goodly land somewhat diversifed)
assemblage of travellers around the
Preside every evening, One evening
O tourist, who had been devoting the
summer to trout-fishing in the Gmar-
ron, was telling some pretty good
sized fish stories to a long-haired
frontiersman, who, while listening,
was evidently studying how he might
"see" the tourist, and "raise him" on
the size of his yarn. The tourist
ended. The frontiersman shifted his
quid of tobacco to the other cheek,
and said: "Well, mister, them was
pretty good-sized trout We caught;
but, Lordl We should ha' bin with me
up at the mouth of the Columby, in
Oregon. Why, we used to ketch sal
mon there every mornin' that would
run all the way from ninety to a
hundred and fifty pounds"
For a moment the tourist was sill
emit; then, looking sadly at the tri-
umphant frontiersman, he said: "My
friend, T don't doubt your story in
the least. On the contrary, / believe
it fully and implicitly. / will only re-
mark that my experience has taught
me that in Colorado the man who
tells the first story has a alarmed poor
lhow."

Some Old-Time Executions.
Gentleman's Magazine,

| Gentleman's Magazine,
In the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries our method of execution
was most brutal. There was the
ride of the criminal in an open cart.
with his coffin by his side, either to
Tyburn or to the spot where he com
mitted the murder; the cart was
stopped under the gallows, the rope
Was fastened around the criminals
mech, the carman gave the horse a lash,
and the poor wretch was left swaying
to and fro, kicking. If he had friends
they would try to shorten his agony
by hanging on to his legs and beat
ing his breast, a shocking sight. But
hanging then was looked upon as
holiday spectacle, in which we find
the lower class took great interest
and evinced muchsympathy with the
deceased. For instance, Claude Du-
val, the celebrated highwayman, lay
in state at the Tangler tavern, in st.
Giles's, in room hung with black
cloth, the bier covered with 'scutch-
cons, and with eight wax candles
burning around. He was buried by
torch-Gght and was followed to Covent
Garden church by numerous train
ofmourners, mostly women. Nilsson,
french writer, who visited England
in the reign of William III, says: "He
that is hanged or otherwise executed
first takes care to get himself shav'd
and handsomely drest, either in
mourning or in the dress of bride
groom. This done, he sets his friends
to work to get him leave to be bury'd
and to carry his coffin with him,
which is easily obtain'd. When his
suit of cloaths, or nightgown, his
gloves. hat, perriwig, nosegay, coffin,
flannel dress for his corps, and all
those things are bought and
prepared, the main point is taken
care of-his mind is at peace, and
then he thinks of his concience. Gen.
orally he studies a speech, which he
pronounces under the gallows and
gives in writing to the sheriff or the
minister that attends him in his last
moments, desiring that it be printed.
Sometimes the girls dress in white,
with great silk scarfs. and carry bas-
kets full of flowers and oranges, scat
tering the favors all the way they go.
But to represent things as they really
are must needs own that if a pretty
many of these people dress thus gaily
and go to it with s ch an air of indif-
ference, there are many Others that
go slovenly enough and with dismal
phizzes. I remember one day T saw
in the park handsome girl, well
dressed, that was in mourning for
her father, who had been hanged but
a month before at Tyburn for false
coinage. So many countries, SO
many fashions.

Thrift And Waste I'm Married Life.

Writing in the Culver, the author
of "How to Be Happy Though Mar.

but there should be a reasonable
chance ofgetting work to do, for it
is nothing less than criminal folly to
marry on nothing a week, and that
aneertain-veryl On the other hand,
there is some truth in the saying
that what will keep one win keep two.

on account of their limited circam=
stances, and I will show you ten who

es. There are bachelors who ale 20
ultra-prudent, and who hold such
absurd opinions az to the expense of
matrimony, that, although they
have enough money, they have not
enough courage to enter the state.
