Old Age and Hard Work,

Old people make a great mistake
when they give up work. Many men
who have made a competency in bust
ness and feel entitled to retire from
active work find themselves declin-
ing in health and becomes prema-
turely old for want of occupation. In
most aged persons the vital functions
continue in active exercise under nor
NAL conditions. But if the regulari-
ty and moderation of business life
are departed from, trouble will sure
ly follow. On the other hand, The
Lancet holds that 'if in any direc-
ton it is allowable for competitors in
the race of life to dispense with self
control it would appear that they
may to a great extent use this lib
erty with respect to physical and
mental exertion." In other words,
we must not eat too much or drink
too much, but we can study hard
and take plenty Of exercise not only
without harm, but with the best re-
suits, and if old people wish to live
out all their days they should find
plenty to do, both for mind and body.

The Ghost on Board Shin.

A ghost haunts a ship. The mate
has a story of it every morning. One
night the captain watches the mate,
sees him rise from his hammock and
walk in his sleep into the cabin.
There he takes water in a pipkin,
scatters it about, and still asleep goes
back to roost.
Next morning the mate tells how
he had awakened, seen the ghost, fol
lowed him into the other cabin and
besprinkled him with holy water.
He was quite honest in his state
ment. He had been somnambulistic
and remembered (Which seems I'M
usuaD the Authorizations of his sleep
walking. Probably more ghosts than
we generally allow for are to be ex-
planned by somnambulism.- Black

Patrick Flanagan was a witness in
a case where truthfulness compelled
him to give some testimony against
the man on trial, who was a particu-
lar friend of his. Patrick's ordina-
rily rich brogue had recently been
rendered more than usually unintel-
ligible by an accident to which he re-
ferred with feeling in the course of
his testimony.
He was frequently called upon to
repeat his answers, which we're evi-
IDENTIFY made under protest, and be-
tween these constant requests and
the long words with which the air of
the courtroom seemed to Patrick to
be filled, his anger rose and his con-
fusion steadily increased.
Don't prevaricate, said the Judge
at last as Patrick returned a sur
prisingly incoherent answer to a cues.
ton addressed to him.
"~Prevaricate, is it," cried MI. Elan
1gan, with angry resentment. "Oi'm

be able to hip prevaricatin whin

On st. Eutropius' day in Haute-
Vienne all the unmarried women
walk in procession to st. Junien-
les-GOmbes to the cross near the
church. Each woman hangs her left
garter on the cross and prays that
she may havea good husband. There
is a superstition, not unknown in this
country, that a yellow ~garter-this,
too, is the left garter-knit by a friend
and given unexpectedly to the wear
er, if worn on Easter day, will bring
an engagement before the year is out.

family resemblance to that narrated

common origin with ii. philadelphia

PARSONS OF GRETNA GREEN.
Three Men Who Tied the Nuptial mot For
Many Runaway Counties.

AhIee ven VINO Tied the Nuptial Knot For
Many Runaway Couples.
The first person who twined the
bands of Hymen this way is supposed
to have been a man named Scott. who
resided at the Rigg, a few miles from
the village of Gretna, about 1850 or
1850. He was accounted a shrewd,
crafty fellow, and little more is
known of him. George Gordon, an
old soldier, started up as his success
sor. He always appeared ON mar
rlage occasions in an Anticipated full
military costume, wearing a large
cooked hat, red coat, jackboots and
a ponderous sword dangling at his
side. If at any time he was interro-
gated ''by what authority he joined
persons in wedlock," he boldly an
swered, "1have a special license from
the government, for which I pay $50
per annum." He was never closely
examined on the subject, and a de-
fusion prevailed during his life that
a privilege of the kind really existed.
Several persons afterward attempt
ed to establish themselves in the same
line, but none was so successful as
Joseph Paisley, who secured by far
the greatest run of business in def
ance of every opposition. 1t was this
person who obtained the appellation
Of the Old Blacksmith, probably on
account of the NEUROLOGICAL conceit
OF Vulcan being employed in rivetlng
the hymeneal chains.
Paisley was first a smuggler, then
q tobacconist, but never at any time
a blacksmith. He commenced his
mock pontifical career about 1888.
For many years he was careful not to
be publicly seen on such occasions,
but stole through bypaths to the
house where he was called to ofici-
ate, and he there gave a certificate,
miserably written and the orthogra-
ply almost unintelligible, with a
feigned signature.
Through an important trial, arising
out Of his marriages, he was forced
to declare himself, and afterward
wore c%anonicals with the dignity of
bishop.-Sala's journal.
