What merciful Providence keeps cy-
clers from being wiped off the face of
our mundane sphere, I wonder! One
day last week I saw a string of bicy-
clers coming down street at much
too rapid rate Of speed for public
thoroughfare. The street was wet, the
sprinkler having just passed. Soon a
turn of the wheel brought down a
scorcher on the wet pavement. Hard
behind him came a tandem on which
were man and a girl. They in turn
took flying leap, depositing the tan
dem without apology upon the unfor-
tunate scorcher who hadn't time to
reckon on his whereabouts, it all hap
pened so suddenly Third in line came
a gray horse and light phaeton, and it
was only due to the old gray's good
sense in stopping short that they were
not all run over.
Quite pretty wedding was cele-
brated at the Sixteenth street Lutheran
Church on Sunday evening after SER
vice. The church was prettily deco
rated with ropes of ivy and pink and
white roses, etc. The organist per-
formed Mendelssohn's wedding march
as the wedding party, consisting of
bride and groom, two bridesmaids, two
groomsmen and two fiower-girls, en-
tered the church. After the knot was
firmly tied by the Rev. Mr.. Hoskinson,
pastor OF the church, the party marched
out to the sound of the organ. The
church was well filled with witnesses
to the ceremony. The bride was ar
rayed in sheer white lawn, tastefully
trimmed in lace and tiny tucks. The
bridesmaids were dressed respectively
IN blue and pink. The contracting

I enjoyed very much the music recital
given by the young pupils of Miss Char
lotte Pau, on Tuesday evening last The
guests were summoned by very neat in
vitations, Containing also the pro-
gramme of twelve numbers 1t was al
together very pleasant affair and re-
hected credit on the efforts of teacher
and pupils alike. POLLY OLIVER.
