4 Queer misunderstanding.

A certain West End man is grow
ing more and more deaf, and greatly
dislikes to admit it. He makes a
pretence of understanding what is
said to him, and this frequently en-
tails amusing mistakes. Not long
ago neighbor met him and said:
PEI haps you haven't heard about
the agreeable visitor that arrived at
our house yesterday "a fine baby
boy-a perfect cherub?"
The deaf man smiled pleasantly
and replied:
Oh, we have lots Of 'em at our
house. My wife has 'em by the
bushel. Stews 'em up, you know,
and puts 'em up. She put up more
than forty cans this summer. Yes,
indeed"
Why" inquired the bewildered
neighbor, "what do you think
said ?"
Yes, she likes the red kind best ;"
continued the afflicted Citizen
" Says they amt so tough. Is yours
the black sort ?"
4" Sir !" exclaimed the indignant
neighbor. "What are you talking
about ?"
The deaf man heard this.
Why, cherries, of course" he
pleasantly remarked. "That's what
you said, isn't it?n
But the neighbor walked alonp
without explaining.

Mennonite COurtship.

a unique marriage ceremony was
performed at Wayncsboro, Pa, at
the Reformed Mennonite Church
recently, by which Jacob Frantz and
Miss Annie Staffncr became man
and wife, writes Waynesboro, Pa,
correspondent of the Baltimore Su,,
A large congregation filed the edi-
flee at $50 O'Clock. Bishop Jacob
s. Lehman, of Chamb bersburg
preached sermon about two hours
in length, which was announced as
being short on account Of the hot
weather. "The Duties of Husband
and Wife" was his theme. At it's
close the contracting parties, who
had been seated on opposite sides of
the church, came forward and
presented themselves at the altar.
a series of questions was pro-
pounded, and, these having been an
swered atfirmatively, the young cou-
pie were pronounced married. Both
resumed their seats. and the church
services were concluded.
Courtship by members of this
church is pursued in a manner pecu-
liar to themselves. Until the en-
gagement, which is several weeks
before the marriage, the bride and
groom have no communication with
each other. When a brother i'm the
church wants to marry a sister he
does not make the wish known d.
rectly to her, but goes to the minis
ter and tells him his secret. The
if pleased with the match,
carries the brothers message. The
sister is usually surprised, as this is
supposed to be her first intimation
of the plan. If the proposal is re-
ceived with favor, the negotiations
are carried on by the minister.
The ceremony always takes place
in church. No invitations are is
sued, but the banns are proclaimed
from the pulpit two weeks before
hand. During this period the groom
is permitted to visit his intended
without the intervention of third
party.
After the wedding dinner is al
ways served, after which the bride
and groom go to their respective
homes, and remain apart for several
days. The marriages in the church
are generally happy ones, and there
Is no record Of any of the members
ever suing for divorce.

WHICH !

Life is long
And a wee bit dreary
Death comes quick
On shadowy wing.
Why trouble to smile
When the way is weary ?
Why should the sad heart
Laugh and sing?
Life Is short,
And glad above measure
Death comes at last
With kindly glance.
The daily task
Is daily treasure
The nightly rest
Is days advance.
Choose ye, then,
While choice is before you,
The gloom and grief
OF the aimlesS way
Or with the blue sky
Bending DER you,
Smile and toll
For the brighter day.

VICTOR HUGO was talking about
age, and confessed, in a charming
humor, that the most disagreeable
advance to him was that from thir-
ty-rine to forty. "Oh, that terri
bic forty !" he said. But" re-
marked some one, 81 should think it
great deal better to be forty than
fifty" "Not at ALL" replied Hugo;
forty years is the old age of youth,
while fifty years is the youth of old

STRANGE DIsAPPEARANCE.--
one occasion, while examining the
mechanism Of the monster revolv-
ing lamp belonging to an English
lighthouse, a gentleman, wishing to
see how many seconds would elapse
in completing revolution, took a
half-crown piece from his pocket
and placed it on the revolving frame
work. Watch in hand, he waited
for the coin to come around again,
but no half:crown appeared. The
seconds heightened into minutes
still no half-crown! "Strange!" 7" he
exclaimed; ; "what can be the mean
ing of it ?" In order to ascertain
the cause of the strange phenomenon,
he walked around to the other side
OF the lamp, and, in doing so, en-
countered one of the lighthouse men,
who touched his hat and said,
"Thank you, sir" in an undertone.
The man. seeing the coin coming to-
ward him, had pocketed it, thinking
it was meant for tip.

THE good lady scrutinized him
closely.
Didn't | give you whole mince
pie day or two ago ?" she inquired
in tones which resembled an anna
teur cold wave for iciness.
Yes, num-" replied the occu-
pant of the outcast overcoat, Pm
the same party, but I've recovered,
and if you'll make it plain bread and
milk this time I'll be heartily
obliged"
One moment later the sound of
hurrying footsteps and the low but
earnest yelp OF a dog gave token
that race to the garden gate was in
progress.
