She looked up wonderingly; she knew not what 1t all meant; she was not old enough to understand the sorrow of an orphan. On the other side sat the men who ruined him.

Didn't Cut His Corners.

A writer in the Boston Transcript
gives this Renaissance Of the Rev. Dr..
Elijah Kellogg of Harpswell, Me-:
"One Sunday before his sermon the
doctor announced from his pulpit: The
widow Jones' grass is getting pretty
long. | shall be there with my scythe,
rake and pitchfork at o'clock tomcr-
row morning, and hope every male
member of the congregation will be
there too
"The next morning they were all
there and among them Captain Griggs,
six feet two in his stockings, with q
weight of nearly $50 pounds. Par
son. said he as they were working up
the field near each other, TIM goin to
cut your corners this mornin.'
'Now. DR.. Kellogg was little man,
weighing scarcely more than 13O
pounds. but he knew how to handle
scythe, and, as he told me, with u lit.
tie shrug of his shoulders, he didn't
cut my corners that morning. More
than that, the man who had thought
he could beat the parson at moving
dropped under a tree exhausted from
working with such q pacemaker."

A CURIOUS CASE.

A remarkable decision has just been
rendered by Judge Maddox of the SUI
preme court of the state of New York
which, in the conflict between the mar
riage laws of the church and state,
establishes the supremacy of the &c.
clesiastical law. In an application by
Mrs. Josephine Breuer to annul her
civil law marriage to Charles Breuer,
into which she unwittingly entered in
disregard of the Roman Catholic can
onical prohibition, the court held that
the marriage was not binding and de-
clared it to be null and void. Mrs.
Breuer, or properly, Miss Millang,
who is a Roman Catholic, was for
some time importuned by Charles
Breuer, also a Catholic. to become his
wife. This Miss Millang refused to
do on the ground that Breuer had a
divorced wife then living, and that
the church does not recognize divorce.
Finally Breuer came to Miss Millang
with the statement that his divorced
wife was dead and that he was con-
sequently free to marry again. Miss
Millang thereupon consented to mar
ry him, but insisted that there should
be both a civil and a religious cere-
mOny. After the civil marriage was
performed, Breuer confessed the de-
ception to Miss Millang, his first wife
not being dead, and stated that a re-
ligious ceremony was therefore impos-
sible. Upon hearing his confession,
Miss Millang Immediately left Breuer
and as soon thereafter as possible
made application to the courts for the
annulment of the civil marriage. The
courts unprecedented decision grant
ing Miss Millang's application is by
many people thought to be revolution
airy in it's effect.
