A most unusual if not remarkable
wedding occurred yesterday, when

wife. There are some circumstances
connected with the wedding that are
decidedly novel in the history of low

Going back at least two decades
Samuel Gregory and Margaret Walsh
were young and ardent lovers, who uni
ted their destinies and for years lived
happily together. There were but few
dark clouds in all the sky of these
years of one almost continuous honey
moon, until one day, almost a year
ago, the climax of Gregory's associa-

army led him on to the endless domain

IN Dsath's Presence.

Here is an interesting story which
shows how cool man can be in the
presence of death:
One day during the latter part OF
the war, DR.. Willis Westmoreland
was dressing the wound Of a soldier
who had been shot in the neck near
carotid artery. Suddenly the blood
vessel gave way, and just as quickly
the surgeon thrust his finger into
the hole to stop the flow.
Doctor" said the soldier, "what
does that mean?"
1T means death" said the surgeon
calmly.
"How long can I live?" asked the
soldier, whose mind was perfectly
clear.
"Until I remove my finger" said
DR.. Westmoreland.
The soldier asked for paper and
pen, wrote his will, wrote an affec-
tionate letter to his wife, and when
these last things were finished, said
quietly:
"Let it CO."
The surgeon withdrew his finger,
the blood rushed out, and soon the
man was dead.
The body of the brave fellow was
buried in Oakland cemetary, Atlanta,
Ga, and every year after that until
DR.. Westmoreland's death in 1890,
the great surgeon would place flow
ers upon the grave, persoal tribute
to one who was calm and brave in
the very presence of death.

Bits Of Useful knowledge.

Wear old, loose kid gloves when
ironing, as they will save many cal
lous spots on ones hands.
Fine laces may be cleaned by be-
ing packed in wheat flour and al
lowed to remain "a hours.
Apply powdered alum to fever
sore. This will prevent it from be-
coming very upsightly or noticeable.
1t is good plan to burn pine tar
occasionally in sick room, as it is
an excellent disinfectant, and it also
induces sleep.
If a shirt bosom or any other arti-
Gle has been scorched in ironing, lay
it where the bright sunshine will fall
directly upon it.
IF sheets or tablecloths are wrung
by putting the selvage through the
wringer, the edges will not curl up,
and they will iron much easier.
It is we'll to keep a small paint
brush convenient for dusting the
crevices in furniture, and all spots
that cannot be reached with the
dust cloth.
When anything has been spilled
on the stove, or milk has been boiled
over and sufocating smoke arises,
sprinkle the spot with salt and it
will quickly disappear.

a Careful Boy.

The Sunday school needed money,
and Mr.. Smith, the superintendent,
had a new way of getting it. He
proposed to give each boy a dime.
At the end of month the 10 cents,
with what it earned, was to be re-
turned to the superintendent.
The fourth Sunday found the su-
perintendent ready to audit the profit
and loss accounts, and he commenced
with Johnnie's class.
CHOW have you done, Johnnie?"
MY dime has earned another one, "
said Johnnie, with an air Of one de-
serving halo.
"Good," said tie superintendent,
mot only is Jonnie good boy in
helping the school, but he shows
good busi1 ess talent. Doubling ones
m ney in single month requires DO
common talent. Who can tell but
what we have a building banker
among us. Jhonnie, you have done
we'll"
"And now, Thomas, how much has
your dime earned?"
'.It's gone," said Thomas.
"What, not only failed to earn any
thing; but actually lost" said Mr..
Smith. How was that!"

reply, land he won."

should die thinking of it. 1 was
gawky, awkward country lout, about
10 years of age; she refined and
fairly well educated in a country and
at time when girls had superior
advantages, and were, therefore, su-
perior in culture to the boys. I fixed
the day off as far as I could have it
put. I lay awake in cold perspira-
ton as the time drew near and I
shivered in agony as thought Of the
terrible ordeal. The dreadful day
came; I went through the program
somehow, in a dazed, confused, me-
chanical way; the guests one by one
departed, and my hair began to
stand on end. I felt like fleeing to
the woods, or spending the night in
the barn, or leaving for the West
never to return. I was deeply de-
voted to Sallie; loved her harder
than a mule can kick; but that dread
full ordeal could not, I dare not
stand it. Finally the last guest was
gone, the bride retired, the family
gone to bed, and I was left with the
old man. 'John,' said he, you can
take that candle; you will find your
room just above this. Good night,
John, and may '':e Lord have mercy
on your SOUL and with mischievous
twinkle of the eye the old man left
the room. When I heard him slam
a distant door I staggered to my
feet and seized the candle with
nervous grasp. knew that it could
be avoided, yet hesitated to meet
my fate like man. A happy thought
struck me. I hastily climbed the
stairs, marked the position OF the
landing and the door OF the bridal
chamber. Iwould have died before
I would have disrobed in that holy
chamber, where awaited me q trem-
bling girl. I, therefore, decided to
make the usual preparation without,
blow out the light, open the door and
friendly darkness would at least miti-
gate the horrors of the situation. It
was soon done, tho dreadful moment
had come, I was ready, I blew out
the light, grasped the door knob
with a deathly and nervous grasp
one moment and it would be over. /
