THE WORLDS FIRST WEDDINa-What
a morning that was of the worlds first
wedding! Sky without cloud. Atmos-
phere without chill. Foliage without a
crumpled Leaf. Meadows without thorn.
1t shall be IN church-the great temple of a
world, sky-domed, mountain-pillared, sap
phire rooted. The sparkling waters of the
Gihon and the Hiddekel will make the fount
of the temple. Larks. robins and gold.
finches will chaut the wedding march. Vic.
let, lily and rose burning incense in the
morning sun. Luxuriant vines sweeping
their long trails through the forest aisle
upholstery of spring morning. Wild
beasts standing outside the circle looking
on, like family servants from tho back door
gazing upon the nuptuals; the eagle, king
of birds; the locust, king of insects; the
lion, king of beasts, waiting. Carpet Of
grass like emerald for the human pair to
walk on. Hum Of excitement, as there al.
ways is before ceremony. Grass blades
and leaves whispering and the birds a-chat-
ter, each one to his mate. Hush, all thu
clouds. Hush, all the birds. Hush, the
waters, for the king of the human race ad.
vances, and his bride. Perfect man, lead
ing to the altar perfect woman. God, her
father gives away the bride, and angels are
the witnesses, and tears of morning dew
stand in the blue eyes of the violets. And
Adam takes the round hand. that has never
been worn with work or stung with pain,
into his own stout grasp and says: "This is
now bone of my bone and flesh of my fssb."
Tumults of joy break forth aud all the trees
of the wood clap their hands, and all the
galleries of tbe forest sound with carol and
chirp and chant, and the circle of Edenic
happiness is complete; for while every quail
hath answering quail, and every fish ans
wering fish, and every fowl answering fowl,
and every beast of the forest fit compani-
on, at last man, thu immortal, has for mate,
woman, the immortal.

People Wonder

MTHEN they find how rapidly health
w is restored by taking Ayers Sar-
saparilIa. The reason is that this
preparation contains only the purest
and most powerful alternatives and
tonics. To thousands yearly it proves
veritable elixir of life.
Mrs. Jos. Lake, Brockway Centre.

indigestion made my life burden
and came near ending my existence.
For more than four years 1 suffered I'M

a skeleton, and hardly had strength to
drag myself about. All kinds of food
distressed me, and only the most deli
cate could be digested at all. Within
the time mentioned several physicians
treated me without giving relief. Moth

manent good until began the use Of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, which has pro-

AcoNFEoeRATE RELIC.
The Only Bust of Ex-Prcsident Davis
Made From Life.

Made From Life.
At I,eftwichs art store on Main street IL
on exhibition bust Of ex-Prcsident Davis,
which has a very interesting history, and Is
a genuine Confederate relic. 1t was made
during the war by Mr.. Alexander Gait, the
sculptor, and is the only bust OF the as
tinguished Confederate leader IN eSis'
tence taken from actual life.
The history Of this work OF art Is as fol-
lows: During the war, and while Mr.. Davis
was residing in this city, Mr.. Gait re-
quested the ex-president 10 sit for him
while he moulded the figure. The request
WAS acceded TO- and Mr.. Calf proceeded
10 work in Mr.. Davis private Office
AZ the Executive Mansion. In due course oil
time the bust was completed, and on being
shown 20 the family and friends oil MI
Davis. IL was pronounced an excellent ike
ness. The original bust, in marble, was
presented 20 MIR. Davis, and remained u,
The "white House of the Coniederacy' untii
the close Of the war.
In the hurly-burly OF the evacuation this
bust was sent by Mr.. Davis 10 an ac1uaint-
ance for saie-keeping. but the party 70
whom IL was entrusted became fearful, al
ter the entry of the Federal troops, that II
il was found in his possession IL would, III
some way, work him harm, ana 80 IL was
destroyed .,
Fortunately, however, two copies OF the
original were in existence, and Miss Cat,
Of Norfolk, niece Of the sculptor, who IN
herited the copyright from her uncle, Sc
cured one from which TO nave
copies in plaster made. She mas
bad only eleven OF these copies
made i'm Valentines studio, and does not
propose having any others done, certainly
for some time 10 come. The bust under con-
sideration is one of them, and no doubt IL
will attract much interest and attention.

TROUBLE SETTLED.
Difficulty Between Employees Arranged
by "a Committee.

by u COMMITTEES.
Al "A meeting of the Health Committee
yesterday theusual pay-rolls were ordered
20 be paid. The committee also sat as a
court OF inquiry as regards squabble
which occurred between the foreman
of the cart-driyers and one of
the drivers. The evidence showed
that a few days ago Mr.. Adkins, the fore
man, communicated an order 10 the men 10
the effect that hereafter during "A hard rain
they were TO seek shelter in the scale-h0use
10: near the New Market
When Mr.. Adkins had stated this, one
of the drivers, Mr.. Greenstreet, began
abusing Adkins. Greenstreet stated that
Adkins was sc0undrel, ETC., and hnally
olimaxed the denunclati0n by stating that
he would never obey an order given By Ac-
kins.
Adkins started TO get warrant, but was
finally prevailed upon TO report the matter
10 the president of the Board Of Health.
Last night :Dr. Oppenhimer reported the
matter 10 the committee, and the above
story was brought out. About ten wit
nesses were examined, who cOrrobOratod
each other, and Greenstreet did all but
acknowledge the offence.
After the witnesses and accused had LEFT
one Of the committee made motion that
Adkins be made driver, another foreman
appointed, AID Greenstreet be reinstated.
- After n spirited discussion II was deci-
ded that Grecnstreet be reinstated, and
that committee be appointed 10 look into
the matter.
The committee are Messrs. Grimes and
Davis, and they are required 10 make fun
investigation OF the Health Department as
far as il relates 10 carts, drivers, ETC., in the
past twelve months.

life, relents, and accepts the revolutionary
