Why is it that on a weekday morn
ing we find it the hardest kind of work
to get up? Nothing seems to equal
thai delicious sense of drowsiness which
follows the first announcement that
You'll be late if you DO not hurry"
Just when you cease to worry about
the hour and are drifting off into a
beautiful sea of dreams there comes an
other cali, sharper and louder than the
first, and irritating to a degree.
But pretty loon you begin to forget
about it. and just when you are on the
point of INDUCING in another forty
wtlks. the voice comes for the third
time, and up you f%lounce, feeling a
grudge against mankind, and opening
your eyes as you ace your shoes.
And why is it that on a Sunday
morning, when you could sleep if you
wanted to, that you wake up bright and
early, and stay awake in spite of eff
fots to the contrary? Everyone else is
asleep, and seems Il have no trouble In
staying so, but there are no dozes for
you. You toss and turn, and count
sheep. and fix your gaze on one spot,
and toss and turn again, and then You
get AZ.

The distribution Of the Toys.

Mrs. Stiles Van Brocklin, whose time
was divided among her twelve women's
clubs and away from her children, took an
off day. at Christmas, to visit a toy shop
in the interest of her six offspring. Load
ed down with her gaudy purchases, she
had reached her front yard. where the
children were making a snow man, when
an elegant equipage jingled up to the curb
and stopped.
"Oh, Mrs. Van Brocklin!" cried a lady
from the coach, ''come with ms to the
Social Problem meeting"
Enchanting that she had forgotten all
about this meeting. the mother quickly
approached the oldest Of the children about
the snow man and pressed the toy packages
in his arm.
Take these inside and distribute them
among your brothers and sisters" she
said; and the next moment she was
whisked away in the friends coach.
That night when she returned home she
was struck by the surly and tear-stalneu
faces of her children.

WEDDINGS IN CAROLINA.
The Bride "Toted an Ivory-bound
Psalm Book"

''There was a sound of revelry by night, .
and the beauty and chivalry of the most
progressive OF North Carolina communities
were gathered in the Seceder Church at
Charlotte to witness the marriage of one
of the fairest daughters OF the South TO
one of the most brilliant young men en-
gagged in professional life. says the Charles
ton News and Courier. bright the lambs
shone Ger fair women and brave men.
Music arose with its voluptuous swell,
and soft eyes looked all sorts Of things to
other eyes, while "all went merry as a
marriage bell"
We are told by the Charlotte Observer
that this incident in the happy social life
of the Tar Heel town occurred lin the
presence of one of the most representa-
tive gatherings that ever assembled in
the city, 9TH unusual beauty of the
church decorations, the sweet simplicity
of the the distinguished gath
ering in attendance, and the prominence
of the contracting parties" all made the
event most notable in the social annals of
tho town, which is now so happily emerg-
ing into the butterfly period of its his
tory. There were ushers and groomsmen
and bridesmaids aplenty, and a dame OF
honor and a maid of honor aud a best
man, and the bridegroom awaited the
bride at the altar" and two sweet little
children carried baskets filled with rose
petals, and the organist rendered Lohen-
grin's Wedding March as the bridal party
entered and Mendelssohn's as 1T left the
church." "When the ushers, groomsmen
and bridesmaids reached the altar they
passed each other and stood in a semi4
circle around the bride and the bride
groom" and, Though the bride carried no
fowers'' it is related by the society re-
porter of the Observer that she 'toted an
ivory-oound Psalm Book instead
We are not informed whether it was
Rouse's version of the u. p. book with
metres adapted to waltz and two-step
tunes; but it does not matter greatly in
view of the many departures which have
been made in the old-time usages Of this
american Church." There can be no
question, unless the Charlotte Observer has
| grossly misstated the facts, that progress
must be reported on the whole state of
the church If there shall be any request
at the next meeting of the synod for a
"show down."
We rejoice at this evidence of progress
in the religious evolution Of "a creed out
worn" or outgrown. There is no reason
in law or good morals why the choicest
flowers of the parterre-wc believe that Is
what they call it in Charlotte-and the
richest harmonies Of the great musicians
should not be employed in all acts of wor-
ship. Some of the older generation in
their desire to escape the sin of worldli-
ness encouraged, possibly, too great sim
plicity in forms and ceremonies. 1t Is
pleasant to know that In Charlotte, the
very seat OF orthodoxy. there is growth
in the reinements Of religious ~observances.
