THE MASTERPIECE.

A man once, when the day was drear,
Sat down and wrote simple rhyme,
And sent it forth, and, far and near,
His poem went the rounds. in time.
In later years the man grew rich
And people called him great, wherefore
He scorned the simple verses which
He'd written when his heart was sore.
Regretting that he had not burned
His poem ere twas ever seen,
Inc offspring of his heart he spurned,
And deemed it something cheap and
mean.
He died, and men forget the things
Ihat he supposed had made him great
The formal interviews with kings.
The service rendered to the state.
The simple, honest little rhyme,
which he had managed to dfsclaim,
The world preserved and called sublime,
When no man knew the authors name.

ABOUT WEDDING FEASTS.
How the Catering Powers of THE Con-
tinental Matron Are Put to
the Test.

The average British paterfamilias
and the whole army of British bride
grooms-although they are probably
ignorant of the reason why-should
be exceedingly thankful that the we'd
ding breakfast in this country is not
quite so formidable repast as it is
IN divers parts of the continent, where
it extends in many instances over two
or three days.
About year ago the British pater-
familias had before him notable ex-
ample OF the fare that his continental
brother in affection has to provide on
the occasion of a wedding in the fam
lily, when the Oldest son of a Judge
of the Bikity district, in the vicinity
OF the Hungarian town of BAGS, took
unto himself wife. The number of
guests unfortunately was not stated
when the menu Of the three days fes-
tlvities was forwarded to these shores,
says the London Pail Mall Gazette. but
it can be gathered from the quantity
OF viands disposed Of that they were
remarkably hungry or very numerous.
AS matter of fact, the pieces de re-
slstance comprised two oxen, five
calves, three pigs, rs turkeys, 100 geese.
$50 hens and 80 loaves of bread. That
the dejeuner was not lacking in sweets
is apparent from the fact that the pud-
dlngs alone required 165 pounds of
sugar, while to wash them down as
much wine was required Geo hecto-
litersl as would fiji pipe having di-
ameter of about four inches and
length of $50 yards.
The continental wedding ceremony
seemingly acts as a tonic upon those
present; at least it is to be hoped
that that is the explanation of the alb
normal appetites of the happy peasant
ry who assemble on these occasions,
for otherwise they can rarely afford
to give themselves a meal that is found
to be wholly satisfying. That the
dainty sandwiches and other light re-
freshments that the British mater
familias provides OH these occasions
and the champagne that paterfamilias
calculates he will be called upon to
furnish would not go far in the rural
districts of France is proved by the
fact that 200 guests alta two-days' we'd
ding feast at Concarneau, Finisterre,
recently consumed between them one
OK, four calves, SO puI1ets, &C pounds
of sausages, SIS pounds of cheese, IL
large conger cells, 3o6 pounds of bread
and ITO pounds of butter, washed down
with eight barrels of cider and one
of wine.
A wedding breakfast for 600 guests
would task the catering powers of any
British matron, but so accustomed is
the German frau to the appetites of
the Teutonic peasantry that no diff.
Guilty was experienced by the house
wife who entertained the aforemcn-
toned crowd on the occasion of the
wedding of rich farmer in the Me-
lunke district couple of years ago.
The noble 600, it should be mentioned.
consumed four oxen, four pigs, eight
calves, and many dozen fowls, in addi-
ton to 1000 large cakes; six tuns of
beer and some hundred bottles of
wine

HOW HE DID IT.
Ingenious Scheme for Waking Him.
self Adopted by n Sleepy
Headed Employee.

The neat young man who always
were opened was much disconnected
when he saw that the young man who
was always late had gotten down in
time, relates the New York Times.
Must have stayed up all night" he
remarked, sarcastically, as the young
man who was always late took off his
coat.
Nope" replied he; "went to bed at
1890"
Somebody must have dragged you
out, them" was the reort.
Then there was a prolonged silence,
and the boss came in and conversation
was out of the question for the rest of
the day. The next morning found the
young man who was always late again
on time, and the neat young man, who
always reached the Office before the
doors were opened, was still more dis
concerted.
"Out again all last night?' he said.
"Nope," said the other; event to
bed at $780,
Inc next morning, ana the next, and
then the next, the same thing hap
pened. The neat young man could
stand it no longer, for he had held the
record as the early conner.
Say, how do you manage to get
down so early?" he asked, and asked
pathetically, too.
Nothing easier" said the other.
1--WE got the greatest scheme-bsats
an alarm clock all holler''
Tell me-" said the neat young man.
Nothing easier. Just write myself
postal card every night, mark it i'm
portant, and the letter carrier wakes
me up to give it TO me-"
The neat young man went back to his
desk and started adding where he
had left off.
