GRETNA GREEN'S ROMANCE.
Crossing the Scotch Border in Haste to
LegaIiZe ElOpements.

Crossing the Scotch Border in Haste to
Legalize EIOpements.
Gretna Green was said to be "killed"
by the act of 1856, and as a place
where Opponents were legalized no
doubt its glories have departed. The
legality of Scotch marriages, however,
survives. Any person residing in
Scotland three weeks can get married
after the informal Scotch manner, and
the marriage will hold good. In fact,
Opponents might still be conducted in
circuitus fashion. The gentleman
could 60 first, reside at Gretna Green
for three weeks, then be joined by his
bride, and marry her on the spot.
Other things, however, have put an
end to this form of romantic marriage.
In the days of posting the clipping low
ers had every advantage. The young
gentlemen could arrange before hand
for relays of horses; the pursuing sire
could not do so, not knowing
the date of the preparations for flight.
Then it was said that the in-keepers
and post-boys always favored the fugi-
tives. If the fathers generally over
took the runaways, it would have been
bad for trade; therefore the old gentle
man did not always secure the freshest
or best steeds, and it was surprising
how often his post boys found Inch
pin loose. Again and again was the
rattle of the pursuer's coach heard
when the knot was securely tied, but
not until then. Nowadays there are
no coaches, but express trains and the
telegraph wires could anticipate the
lovers, and possibly secure delay. if
not detention. Also marriages in En-
gland have been made so easy that
there are Gretna Greens at your very
doors. Three weeks notice to a reg
istrar and a quarter of an hours alb
sence from home will bring about a
marriage without any one being the
wiser-above all, not the man and
woman who are wed. In London
and large cities also the calling
of banns at parish church is very In
sufficient publicity when so many fam
| lies attend favorite preachers else
where, and may never hear that their
Mary or Ethel or Constance is about to
marry in three weeks that" i'm
pecunious young Brown. Thus Gretna
Green still virtually fingers with us.
Magnetic attraction or something else
forces young girls, otherwise intel
| ligent, attractive and even intellectual,
to fix all the love of their young hearts
on the wrong man. Fathers threaten,
mothers weep, brothers call him, or
prove him to be, every thing that is
unsuitable or even bad; she will not
listen or refuses to believe. One day
the street door is open, and she leaves
her fathers house to fix her own
destiny-perhaps to love him always,
in spite of all his faults Or even vices,
or to repent once-and that for life.
So Gretna Green, or what it once
signifed, lives forever in human

VASE, NOT VAWZ.

Little Word About Whose Prouuncia-
ton Much Has Been Written.
If three of our most celebrated poets
Pope, Byron and Moore-may be
cited as orthepists, then are, or were,
ease" "face" and grace correct
rhymes to "vase, " in proof of which 1
append a quotation from each poet:
Pope. The Rape of the Lock" canto
V, al Jfn.:
There heroes wits are kept in ponderous vases
And beaux in snuff-boxes and tweezer cases.
Byron, Don JUAN" C. viii, S. Sc:
pure, transparent, pale yet radiant face,
Like to lighted alabaster vase.
Moore, "Odes of Anacreon," V. and
xviii:
Grave me a cup with brilliant grace,
Deep as the rich and holy vase, etc.
Ode xviii. has the same rhyme.
The question is, was such pronunci-
alton of "vase." the ''pure well of En-
glish undefled," or was it only ''po-
etc license" or caprice, fashion or
custom? OF course, many words alter
their pronunciation from age to age,
and vase" may be one of them, as at
present l think, the word is generally
pronounced as though it rhymed with
stars" Nuttall, in the preface to his
dictionary, says: The standard of
pronunciation is not the authority of
any dictionary, or any orth9pist; but
it is the present usage of literary and
well-bred society,"" If this be so, such
usage seems to be the safest stand
ard we have for our pronunciation.
Keats, in one of his miscellaneous pO-
ems, makes faces" rhyme with
vases:
Fair dewy roses brush against our faces,
And Towering laurels spring from diamond
vases.
When was boy, about 1913, we
had reading book, one story in
which was about The Broken Vase"
My father taught us to read il to
rhyme with "chase," but we after
ward came to think it ought to be
something between Mars" and

At last we have got the printer

More brilliant efforts of genius
have been ruined by the man who has
the putting of them in type to do than
have been lost by never being printed

some time ago there was some trouble
in the Office of the only paper pub

dramatic critic; the printer is foreman,

small union, the printer did, and one
night he went and got full and indie
pendent and refused to get the paper
out The editor, ETC., argued the mat
ter quietly at first, but failing to get
any satisfaction, he took mallet and
knocked the printer, ETC.. on the head
until the union gave in and pledged his
word to get out the paper if he'd let
him up. He got up and he got out the
paper, and then he went and had the
editor, ETC., arrested for assault. The
case was tried. The decision should be
printed in letters of gold and made a
prominent legend on all newspaper
buildings. The judge. all honor and
