The Rev. II. 8. Hawker. in the course
of some "reminiscences Of an aged friend
Of his, quotes an anecdote which this
friend, himself a clergyman, was fond
of telling. 1t is about a marriage cere.
mony and pinch Of snuff. and In tho
narrator's own language runs thus:
1t was always the custom in those
days for the clergyman after the mar.
riage to salute the bride first, before
any other person. Well. It was Just
80 that I had Just married a very bug.
ON, rosy young LADY, and when 1t was
over I proceeded to observe tho usual
ceremony,
But i had Just taken an enormous
tingcs.and.t llulnbful of snuff; no no
sooner had the bride received my kiss
-:ind gave her smart kiss for her
good lO0ks-than she began to snasze.
The bridegroom kissed her, Of course.
and he began also.
Then the best man advanced to the
privilege. Better he hadn't, for he be.
gan to snceze awfully: and by and By
the bridesmaids also. for they were ali
kissed In turn, till the whole party went
sneezlng down the aisle, and the Last
thing ! heard outside the church door
was tchu, tchu. tcllu, till the noise was
drowned Nv the bssls fsom the tower.

The buffalo of Ceylon carries his head
in peculiar manner-the horns thrown
back and his nose projecting on level
with his forehead-thus securing him
from q fatal front shot. This renders
him a dangerous enemy, as he will re-
ceive any number of balls from small
gun in the throat aud chest without
showing the least distress. In "The Ri
de and Hound in Ceylon" an account
Of dangerous encounter with this ami
NAL is given. The writer had fired
without killing the buffalo and had not
a ball left. With n stealthy step and
a short grunt the bull advanced upon
the man, seemingly aware Of his help

There was a large fallen tree about
half a mile from us whose whitened

directed our steps, and after run Of
