THE COURSE OF LOVE IN ARCADIA.

A gentleman from Dooly tells the
Americus (Ga.) Recorder that last
Sunday, after preacher had finished
his sermon in one OF the rural districts,
a young couple stood up before him to
be united in the holy bonds of matri-
mony. The parson asked the usual
question: at any one objects to the
marriage OF A and B let them now
speak or forever after hold his peace" !"
After a short pause he was about TO
proceed with the ceremony, when a
young man, minus coat, with unkempt
hair, dirty face and red eyes arose and
blubberingly said: "Mr. Preacher, |
object. Lzz!e has promised to marry
me, and she has got my ring on her
finger; and cause Bob gave her a
young flly and has a new house she
has flung me off," The indignant bride
retorted by h.ngi3g the ring to him.
She then, turning to the parson, said /:
81 did not promise to marry Jake. He
gave me the ring and | return it to him.
l wouldn't marry him if he were the
last man under the SUM-" IKE ran out
of the church without picking up the
ring, while the ceremony was finished
in most approved style, and the young
couple left for the groom's home amid
much rejoicing.

He CHANGED HIS NAME.
The Various AppelIations Used In a Presi.
dents Reception.

At the late White House reception l
sat down in the East Room, taking pos
session OF a secluded corner, and
watched the famous men and beautiful
women who were promenading that
noble department. As good luck
would have it l was joined in this nook
of observation by the man of all others
whom l wanted to see-young and
handsome Congressman Dolliver, of
Iowa. Doiliver | wanted to see be-
cause | knew him as an eloquent and
thoughtful man, wit and philosopher,
original and courageous in his thoughts
and expressions, and the more inter-
esting because all this spectacular afa
bility and oressy show of cordiality was
new and strange to him. In short, |
wanted to know what man of brains
and sense, fresh from the people and
from a form of society much simpler
than tins, would think of it all.
"Dolliver," said |, as he sat down
beside me, "tell ME how this scene i'm
presses you"
"First," he replied, "let me tell you
of my exp, rience here to night. 1t was
my first taste of official society as seen
at a public levee IN the Executive Man
sion. | did not know what to do when
| came here, and so l thought it best
simply to follow the crowd. Ii took
me FORTY minutes to get from the front
door to the coat rom, and there a
coore man grabbed my hat and coat,
while | was willing to wager something
handsome that would never get them
back again. Ten minutes later and the
stream OF people had carried me with
them to the reception room. | was a
little daz I'd by what had occurred there,
and | have been q little dazed ever
since.
Il remember hearing my name sung
out by some one, 'Mr. Dolhver ! a
man whom | took for the President
grabbed my hand and pumped my
right arm up and down a couple of
times. Then | was showed along to
Mrs. Harrison, | think it was. My
arm was pumped again, and as another
cog was turned by the machine | heard
myself greeted by the second lady as
'Mr. CULVER Again the pump mo-
tion was applied, the machine took up
another cog and was introduced to the
next lady as MIR. MELVILLE More
pump like movement of the right arm,
and with the lights dazzling my eyes
and my brain a little disordered by
visions of beautiful women and gorgeous
dresses, | was passed along to still
another. Here | recovered myself suf-
ficiently to endeavor to regain posses
sion of my proper name, but when five
seconds later the machine moved again
| found the pump action just like its
predecessors and large handsome
woman with a French accent calling
me MIR. Gollyboy.' Then l gave 1t up
and resigned myself to anything that
might happen in the way of impromptu
nomenclature. More pump handle
movements, more parodies on the name
that | had come honestly by, and
finally | reached the end of the line
and as General Zollicofer' made my
escape into the East om."-Rich

hopes in time to have herd OF 40 reg
istered JERSEYS. His experience and
that of his neighbors agrees with mine
that there is no money in potatoes.
He actually paid his $1,000 in four
years, aud paying off $3.50 of the mort
gage each year besides interest, taxes,
labor bills, and the expenses of his
family is wonderful achievement, but
it must be borne in mind that in this
case the man was an important factor.
He is an unusually good business man.
While hard worker, he is always on
the outlook for a chance to make
money on a trade. He narrated sew
eral instances of good turns in trade
which showed business capacity. O1e
was an exchange of rifle tor a Jersey
bull however, after | chartered the
pedigree of MS bull, he decided that he
was not sufficiently well bred to head
his herd, and | sold him a bull calf that
traced thirteen times to Signal, which
will be apt to make an impression on
his herd by reason of his in-breeding.
| tell my friend he need not worry to
pay off any more OF his mortgage at
present, but that he may safely use his
earnings in increasing his stock, or in
such other directions in the line of
farming as will pay him more than 6
per cent. interest. This case shows
what may be accomplished by energy
and capacity. fear many farmers are
deficient ill thoughtfuiness and business
capacity they raise corn, wheat and
oats as their fathers did; keep poor
cattle and treat them indif-ren,ly; do
not study the demands of their imme
diate market, and think their duty Is
done if they Industrously follow the
plow tail from sun TO sun. Above all
things farmer should personally attend
to his stock, and let the hired man do
the heavy work, as my friend does. His
stock are housed in stables where the
water never freez s. Last year his cat
tie never left the stable from Fall until
Spring, and they throve splendidlY, and
were the admiration of his nelghbors
With the low prices for grain obtained
to-day, grain farming east of the Allie
ghenics is dlscouraging. Farmers should
study the conditions and demands of
the markets, especially Of their own
neighborhood, and see if there is not
something else that will pay better than
old fashioned grain raising. If they
will get good stock and make good
butter there will be no trouble in find
ing market for it. 1t is simply dis
graceful. and ref ects on the intelligence

Christians often become entangled
in political embarrassments. No
Christian should despise public af.
fairs or ignore his privileges as a
citizen. On the contrary, it is his
duty to make himself familiar with
living social and political issues. and
do what in him lies to reform abuses
and overthrow the wrongs which ex-
ist in the country. But when a
Christian neglects his home and
church in his zeal to carry an elec-
ton or win an office, our suffers
himself to be drawn aside from tenn
perance and virtue and an exemplary
life by his political affiliations, or
befouls his good name in the filthy
pool of city politics, he is seriously
entangled, and disgraces the church
to which he belongs.
Some Christians become entangled
in vain amusements. 1t is not a
question of the comparative sinful.
ness Of any particular form of amuse.
ment which the Christian has to con-
slider. Whatever hinders one from
coming regularly and in the proper
frame of mind to the Lords table or
to prayer-meeting is not safe. What
ever curtails ones influence with the
ungodly is a deadly evil. 1t were
better for Christian to lose his right
hand than to indulge in any pleasure
which will lead his ungodly asso-
ciates to discount the sincerity Of his
religious profession.
Others become entangled in
doubts. This is an age of investiga-
ton. Men pry into the secrets of
the universe with amazing familiar
ity. This spirit of inquiry should be
encouraged and cultivated, but no
one should forget the dangers with
which it is beset. When one reaches
the point where he will not be salts.
fed with any truth which he cannot
comprehend. and determines to re.
ject every proposition which he cam
not demonstrate, he is on dangerous
ground. A man may study physi-
cal science so much as to become
blind to the reality and import
ance of spiritual things. Church
members may be found in our day
whose doubts are more conspicuous
than their faith. They are agnostics
in spiritual things movable. They
may be exemplary and liberal, but
their religious energies are paralyzed.
No doubter is good fighter. 1t
would be well if such doubters could
remember that the most important
realities of Christianity are not to be-
ascertained by intellectual calcula-
ton or Speculation. They are facts
which address themselves immedi-
ately to the conscience. Let the
doubtcr come closer to God and
things will clear up. AS shadows
flee before the sun, doubts vanish
when the sun of righteousness arises
in the soul.-Christian Advocate.
