Marching Through Georgia.
Bring the good old buge boys, We'll sing
another SONG
Sing it with a spirit that will start the
world along
Sing it as we used to sing it, fifty thou
sand strong,
While we were marching through
Georgia.
Hurran, llurrah; we bring the jubilee.
Eurrah. Iiurrah. the flag that makes you
free,
so we sang the chorus from Atlanta to
the sen,
While we were marching through
Georgia
How the darkies shouted when they
heard the joyful sound.
How the turkeys gobbled which our COM
nissary found.
How the sweet potatoes even started
from the ground.
While we were marching through
Georgia.
Yes, and there were Union men who
wept with joyful tears,
When they saw the honored flag they had
not seen for years;
Hardly could they be restrained from
breaking forth in cheers,
While we were marching through
Georgia.
"Sherman's dashing Yankee boys will
never reach the COAST"
So the saucy rebels said, and twas a
handsome boast.
Had they not forgot alas! to reckon with
the host,
While we were marching through
Georgia.
SO we made thoroughfare for Freedom
and her train.
Sixty miles in latitude-three hundred
to the main;
Treason fed before us, for resistance
was in vain,
While we were marching through
Georgia.

POiiNM wedding Customs.

According to the Polish custom, the
marriage ceremony usually occurs on a
Sunday. this being done to permit the
men TO attend without losing any time
from their employment. while the bride
is supposed TO maintain the greatest
secrecy concerning her wedding until
she is actually clad in her wedding
garments of thin white and bridal
veil. Then she goes from house to
house, regardless Of the conditions of
the weather, and invites her friends to
her wedding, which, of course, is pay
ing them a very pretty compliment.
Again, according to custom, and during
the course Of the reception, china
bowl is placed in the center of the
table upon which the feast is spread,
and each man whom the bride hOnors
with waltz understands that he is to
throw with all his might and main a
silver piece into this bowl, the idea
being to break it, and the man who is
SO fortunate as to Shatter the vessel is
entitled to the farewell dance and a
kiss from the bride While the Gus
tom is curious it is none the less prac-
teal, as it is not an infrequent thing
for the newly married couple to re-
ceive three or more hundred dollars
at their wedding feast.

A Dog and a Song.

During one of the last birthday cele
brations Of the poet Whittier he was
visited by a celebrated Oratorio singer.
The lady was asked to sing, and, seat
ing herself at the piano. she began the
beautiful ballad, robin Adair." She
had hardly begun before Mr.. Whit
tiers pet dog came into the room and,
seating himself by her side, watched
her as if fascinated, listening with
delight unusual in an animal. When
she finished he came and put his paw
very graveiy into her hand and licked
her cheek. robin takes that as a
tribute to himself" said Mr.. Whittier.
''He also is Robin Adair" The dog,
hearing his own name, evidently con-
Sidered that he was the hero of the
song. From that moment during the
lady's visit he was her devoted at
tendant He kept by her side when
she was indoors and accompanied her
when she went to walk. When she
went away he carried her satchel in
his mouth to the gate and watched
her departure with every evidence of
distress.

she Antiquity OF the Ballet.

Strictly defined, the ballet is properly
q thea trical exhibition of the art Of
dancing in its highest perfection, COM
plying generally with the rules of the
drama as to its composition and form.
1t was in existence in Italy as far back
as \ D. 1900, the court Of Turin in that
day making especial use Of it and the
royal family and mobiles taking part in
it. The ballet was first introduced III
France in the reign of Louis Kill, and
both that monarch and Louis XIV. &C
casionally took part in its dances.
In it's earliest presentation the ballet
appeared dexterously in combination
with the other theatrical acts and is
said to have completed the chaotic
medley exhibited in these spectacles,
which were at once NEUROLOGICAL, ale
gorical, fantastic, warlike and pasto-
raj" The reader will not be slow to
observe that it's development in the
present day has not apparently lost
sight of these conditions.
About the year 100 women made
their first appearance in the ballet,
which up to that time had been per-
formed exclusively by men, as was the
case also with plays and operas, but no
woman ballet dancer of any note ap-
peared until 1890.

MeneIek and the Missionary.

A story is told of an attempt made by
a Swedish missionary to obtain a foot
hold in Abyssinia. No sooner had he
begun to preach than he was brought
before King Menelek, who asked him
why he had left his home in Scandi-
navia in order to come to Abyssinia.
The missionary promptly replied that
he had come to convert the Abyssinian
Jews. "Are there mo Jews in your
country" asked Menelek. The mis-
sionary admitted that there were a
few. "And in all the countries that
you have passed through did you find
no Jews or heathens?' the king con-
tinued. Jews and heathens," the mis-
sionary admitted, +'are plentiful"
Then" said Menelek, carry this man
beyond the frontier and let him not
return until he has converted all the
Jews and heather which lie between
his country and mine''

Comets and Women.

The analogy between comets and vo-
men once formed the subject Of the
following peroration from an evening
contemporary: Comets doubtless an
swer some wise and good purpose III
the creation; SO do women. Comets
are incomprehensible, beautiful and &C.
centric; SO are women. Comets shine
with peculiar splendor, but at night are
most brilliant; SO are women. Comets
are enveloped with q lucid nebula
through which their forms are visible;
so are those Of women in their light
and elegant attire. Comets confound
the most learned when they attempt
to ascertain their nature; SO do women.
Comets equally excite the admiration
Of the philosopher and Of the clod Of
the valley; so do women. Comets and
women are therefore closely analogous,
but, the nature of each being inscruta-
BILE, all that remains for US to do is to
view with admiration the one and to
love the other to alteration. "-GoIden
