Democratic Economy.

The close of the second session of the
Fifty-third congress gives us a glimpse
of what the Democrats can do by way
of running great government like ours
While they have increased the appro-
priations over those of last year by sew
eral hundred thousand they have failed
to collect revenue enough to meet the
current expenses of the government
The receipts for the year ending June
80, 1894, are $88, $50, BOATS less than
the receipts for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1898. This deficit does not
show in the accounts of the treasury by
reason of the fact that it was paid in part
from moneys in the treasury ON March
4, 1894, when Cleveland was inaugu-
rated and in part from sale of bonds
made by Secretary Carlisle February
last amounting to S5S, 633, 800. II, by
which the annual interest charge against
the government was increased 81, 900,
600 per annum.
By an examination of the tables fur
nished by the treasury department
of receipts and expenditures it is
shown that President Cleveland expend-
ed for his first full fiscal year ST, 1885,
677. so more to carry on the government
than was expended in the fiscal year
under President Harrison This is ex-
elusive of pensions, for all the saving
made by President Cleveland's admin
istration is at the expense of the old sol
dier of the late war.

PURITAN MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.
Startling Bible Texts Sometimes SeIecte
For the Wedding Sermon.

Startling Bible Texts Sometimes Selected
For the Wedding Sermon.
A marriage in church was rare, writes
Alice Morse Earle in The Ladies Home
Journal, in an article ON "Courtship
and Marriage In Puritan Days. Occa-
sionally one took place in the new home
of the young couple. This was held to
be somewhat unlucky Thanksgiving
day was a favorite time to choose to be
married, as friends were then gathered
from afar.
The bride was universally advised to
wear
Something old, something new,
Something borrowed, something blue,
and though she could dress before a
mirror she must not look in the glass
when once her toilet was completed,
else i'll luck, in vaguely defined but
positive form, were the result. Sunday
was really the exhibition day for the
bride. Indeed she found at meeting the
sole place in which she could appear be-
fore an assembled public, and for this
exhibition the happy pair donned their
finest bridal attire The bride and groom
and bridal party opened the show by
proudly walking in little procession
through the narrow streets to the meet
ing house on the Sabbath following the
marriage
In Larned's History of Windham
County, Conn. 7" we read description
of such an amusing scene in Brooklyn,
Conn. Further public notice was drawn
to the bride by allowing her to choose
the text for the sermon preached on the
first Sunday of the coming out of the
newly married couple Much ingenuity
was exercised in finding appropriate and
sometimes startling Bible texts for these
wedding sermons.
The instances are we'll known of the
marriage Of Parson Smiths two daugh-
tiers, one of whom selected the text,
Mary hath chosen that good part, =
while the daughter Abby. who married
John Adams, decided upon the text,
John came neither eating nor drink
ing, and they say he hath a devil !"

rhe press Of a Rornl Rride.

1t is only outside of Russia that it is
possible to publish certain details of the
splendid fetes attending the marriage
of the cars daughter. 1t is contraband
to print i'll Russian newspapers the fact
that at the wedding ceremony the en-
press of Russia was dressed in blue
moire antique thicl1ly embroidered with
silver Her majesty's jewels were sap
phires and diamonds The dress of the
bride was entirely of silver cloth, with
a train of crimson velvet bordered with
ermine On her head was large dia-
mond tiara, behind which was bridal
wreath, and then ON top of the head was
the small diamond crown worn by all
imperial brides at their weddings
Some time ago all the newspapers in
Russia received an order forbidding i'll
future any reference to the dresses worn
by the empress on state and public oc-
casions. This was done in consequence
of the Russian newspapers having in
correctly described her majesty as wear
ing o dress which at the time was alto
gether out of fashion. London Letter.

1AE OLD COUNTRY CIRCUS.

The old country circus my boyhood days

In these days of three rings, of hippodrOmes

How fond recollection presents thee to viewl
For weeks, while the posters on fences and
church sheds
Portrayed to my young eyes the scenes that
should be,
No soft thrill of love. no throb of ambition,
Has since equaled the bliss / gained dream

The old country circus, the shabby old circus,
The wandering old circus my boyhood days
knew.
How faithful worked in the ways that pre-
sented
To gain the few pennies my ticket should
buyl
No toll was SO sweetened-no reward SO stu
pendous-
No miser e'er cherished his hoard as did l.
How fair shone the sun on the glad day APP
pointed
How rife with strange hustle the sleepy old
towni
And when DER the hill came the rumble of
wagons
The bound of my heart said. 1.-THE circus has

Inc O1u country CIRCUS, Inc ldueu Olu Circus,
The one horse old circus my boyhood days
knew.
What pageant of now can that "grand ontry''
compass?
What wit of today like those jokes of the

And those divans of pine boards-such ease
oriental
No reserved, cushioned chairs of the present
can bring.
One elephant only, satisfying, majestic,
Not Jumbo nor sacred, neither painted nor
white
Take them all, and the whole dizzy. triple bill
programme.
For single return of tina old time delight,
The old country circus. the tawdry old circus,
The perfect old circus my boyhood days
knew.

A GALLANT THIEF.
They Tried to Deceive Him, but He Wasn't
Easily Fooled.

A belle went to the theater On re-
turning home after the performance she
discovered that her brooch, which was
valuable one, had been stolen. She
was very sorry, for the jewelry was
present. A few days afterward the young
lady received the following letter:
The writer Of these lines has the
honor to inform you that he knows
where your brooch is and will return it

me my price, | will, after pressing
kiss on the aforesaid lips, press the
brooch in your hand. No questions

The young lady did not know what
to do. She wanted to get her brooch
back, but she did not care to pay the
price. She hit upon the 'oa of sending
