Under the law as it stands, the govern
ment must buy about $47 ,000, 900 worth
OF bonds annually to meet the require.
ments of the slnhing fund. In the
present condition Of the bond market,
that purchase alone Ia sufficient to keep
the price high and even 10 make il
higher. The piaiu feet is that there are
not enough United States bonds in the
hands Of persons who wish to sell them
to meet the sinking funds requirements,
and when to that purchase is added the
demand created by the tregsury's desire
to get rid Of the enormous surplus of
taxation, it is obvious that price wholly
beyond anything that the government
ought to pay, can be exaoted. There is
no dollar Of the bonds which the govern.
menl can call before 1891, and deduct
ing the amount held as security for
bank circulation, there are less than
seven hundred millions Of the bonds all

Newton Ellis and Miss Anna Bal lard. The parties being present, ready, anxious and willing to enter the state of connubial bliss, Esq. Harvey D.

It was the Squire s first case, and never having played even the part of groom in match of this kind, he was somewhat abash- ed, but rallied and sprang nobly in- to the breach. After propounding the usual questions and demanding t1t tlllIludtlt VIII llbili tutu VI the contracting parties, he concluded in something like this style: "Now in the name and by the authority vested in me by the great State of Arkansas, at the announcement of whose grand but undeveloped re- sources nations stand aghast, and makes the shining dollars of the bloated bondholders on our Eastern shores jingle for investment, and the centre of which said resources may he found on Arbuckle's Island, the richness of whose soil (rent Sl0 per acre) is unsurpassed under the broad canopy of heaven, pronounce the words that have made millions happy and billions miserable eyer since the day that the arch fend in the form Of water moccasin be- guiled frail woman in Edens garden :; You are man and wife, and may the Lord have mercy on your souls.

 And by the time this was done, Meg had set the table in the best of style, and lunch was ready-thc lit 1 tie tarts and jumbles and frosted cakes with flower on each, and l turnovers, and a great deal more be- side. 1 don't believe Peter and FL sic had ever seen such feast before, much less tasted of one.
 They were so hungry! Meg felt sure then they hadn't had anything to eat before that day. And Jocko sat up with the rest and ate as much as any of them; and what he could not eat he stuffed away under his jacket. which made them all laugh harder than ever.
 And right in the middle of the fun
 
 the door opened. and there was Dol ly Ingalls, and Mamie Dixon and Louie Porter. whose throat wasn't so sore but what her mamma could bun dle her up and let her come in the sleigh with Uncle Tom and Mamie and Dolly, and nice treat of nuts and candy.
 "Oh, you're most too late" cried Meg; but there's enough l guess. Oh, isn't this the spledidest'"
 So it was, of course; and of course there was enough, too, for every body. And when dinner was over, Jocko went through with all his tricks again and again before the merriest little audience he ever had, l am sure.
 And at last he pulled off his fun ny cap and passed it around gravely, just as he had been taught to do, though Elsie blushed and Peter scowled at him and said: No, no, Jocko,' a good many times.
 But Uncle Tom laughed and said he guessed Jocko was business sort of chap; and then he divided a handful of loose change among the children and Jocko passed his hat until he go! every bit.
 So Megs reception was q com plete success, after all. The little girls declared they never, never had so good q time before in all their lives.
 "'Ill have another ception next year." said Meg, when her sleepy little head was laid on the pillow that night; "and l do hope Elsie and Peter Il be to it, and Jocko."
 And then she went to sleep and dreamed that red and blue monkey was offering her a turnover in his cap.- Ada Stoddard.

 Little Meg Mather, at the window, could not see across, though her brown eyes were staring wide open. and her face was pressed close against the pane.
 But then, Meg's eyes were full of tears and running over, just as they had been all the morning. sup pose that made some difference. Poor Meg!
 It was something of a trial think, myself, though of course it might have been a great deal worse. That is what Meg s mamma said, trying to comfort her little daughter.
 Just think, dear, what if you hadn't any nice house to live in, and were out in this dreadful storm, 9r if you were sick, amt had to take bit ter stuff, and lie in bed all day, You must look for the silver lining, dear. It isn't nearly so bad as it might be.
 But Meg couldn't feel sure of that. It was very hard to find the bright side of this black, black cloud of dis appointment, which had spread over all the New Years day that ought to have been so happy. Everything was as horrid as it could be, Meg thought. And then the tears flowed faster; drop, drop, dropping down, down on her cunning ruiiled apron q New Years present from grandma {; and the cloud seemed blacker than ever, and Meg felt dreadfully miser- able, and as if her heart must break,
