That miserable and insignificant
nonentity, the bridegroom, is, of
course, of no account whatever dur
ing the wedding ceremony. Nobody
looks at him, nobody thinks of him.
There are no tears for his immola-
ton, no smelling bottles for his agi-
tation. He is for the time a black
coated background to q picture of
radiant beauty. What is he that he
should interrupt with his foolish
nervousness the even course of the
ceremoney which fixes his fate for
ever? No censure, therefore, can be
too harsh for that Wretched man
who, being married in Cleveland
the other day, put the wedding ring
into his mouth when the service be-
gan, that he might find it at the
proper moment. That moment ar
rived. The minister Winked for the
ring. The bridegroom gave an obe-
dent start, q suden gulp-and the
ring had disappeared down his un-

BURNING STUMPs.-A writer in
the American Agriculturist gets rid
of stumps by boring a hole with a
two inch augur from the top of the
stump to the bottom. Another hole
is bored near the bottom at right
angles to the first and connecting
with it. Fire is kindled over the
horizontal hole and the natural
draft draws the fire through two
holes, consuming the center of the
stump first and ultimately burning
the whole.

absolute control of certain sum ap-

WORSHIP IN THE H0ME.-That
many little things which make up
human life have a real magnitude
and far-reaching significance may be
seen in the decisive influences which
they have upon the future. The
morning reading of the Bible, the
prayea of the family circle, and the
blessing invoked on the food, pass
by without incident, and often with
out due attention-such is the pow
er of custom to strip US of inspira-
tion and feeling; but there is not
one in ali the group which is not af-
fected by il throughout the day, and
the memory of these devotions, duh
enough, msyhap, at the time, has af-
terward saved many a young man
not only from a career of wicked
ness and a Wretehed death, but led
him back to the faith and pure life
with which he was formerly IA

Ii. V. Redfeld, the spicy cores
pondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial, recently met a Canadian some
where out West, who rather set him
aback. In reply to a question, what
he thought of the project of annex
ing Canada to the United States, re-
piled very quietly and emphatically,
that he didn't want any of it in his.
Redfield then asked if that was the
general feeling?


Yes, you can't find one Canadian
in twenty who would consent to
annexation. II ever we Join the
United States it will be at the point
of the bayonet. Right now we are
freer than you are, and have less
taxes to pay. You can get pint of
good liquor in Canada for what a
drink costs here. Every thing we
buy is cheaper there. Clothing,
even, is thirty per cent. cheaper
Why? Because you are taxed to
death in your rotten republic, and
don't know it. Your congressman
and officials at Washington steal
more than it takes to run our whole
government in Canada. Do you
suppose that outside people, know
ing these things as well as we do,
want to pin our destiny to such a
government? The theory-of yours
is good enough, l know, but cor
ruption and imbecilty have crowded
it, until what you call the best gov
ernment the world ever saw has be-
come the WOrst.-EcchdRQe

of it is that Congressman have been

must be made up in some way, they
take pay for one thing and another,

end the roll by stealing from the

There is a well known story of a
Dutch boy who, when a small
stream began to dribble through a
littlel in the dyke, stopped il up
with his finger until better means
came, and so prevented the inunda-
tion which else would have broken
down the barriers and sWeps over
the country in universal desolation
and disaster. This was one of the
small beginnings of things so easy
to arrest in the outset, so difficult,
nay, so impossible 10 overcome
when once the barriers have been
forced, and the floods suffered to
pour forth. And we are all able
like the Dutch lad, TO stop up the
primary hole through which the IA
tai drops are beginning to trickle, il
only We pay attention to the warn
ing and take care to prevent the ter
rible end while we can. But il un-
fortunately happens that presence
Of mind is not always ready at the
proper moment; and if il is, in fact,
it is not directed in the channel IL
should be bent upon; and hence the
opportuusy is lost never to be re-
called.


Ihere - not person now read
ing these words who is not con-
sciOus for his or her own part Of the
present tyranny of habits one or
more, which could have been check
ed as easily IS the Dutch boy stop
ped the deluge of waters Nov,

could hold back what the little fin
ger of a lad would once have been
sufficient 10 oxercOme. Lives have
been wasted, families have been
neglected, interests ruined, duties
sacrificed, all for the arbitrary re-
quirement Of habit. No man gets
up one morning full blown drunk
ard, confirmed gambler, an ire
deemable seoundrei anyhow. He
begins, then he goes on, then he be-
comes fixed and confirmed: at the
end, If you will, he is immOTable;
but in the beginning he and his hab-
its were plastic, and the latter were
weak, and might have been crushed
like newly hatched crockodile, if
only he would have set his heel on
them. We may be sure that the
small beginnings of all things have
to be the most carefully considered
and their growth guarded against
if that growth would be an evil.

The dread OF death Is universal and


instructive; and yet how many
rush into its arms! Suicide is most
impressive fact in this connection.
The disappointed lover, the dlscour-


aged adventurer, the suspected clerk,


the child wounded in its self-love or


fearful punishment, faces the great


enemy and invites his blow. Every


now and then the community is


shocked by suicides 50 unprovoked


and so frequent as almost to persuade
us that the natural fear Of death is


passing away. The Inconsistency is
easily explained. Nrd Bacon says


there is no passion that will not over


master the terror Of death. For pass
ion is thoughtless; occupied wholly |
with an immediate suffering, it makes


no estimate Of any other kind OF pain;


absorbed in an instantaneous sorrow, it
takes no other sorrow into account.


The mind entertains but one passion at


a time, whether it be joy or fear.


But men are not always or generally
under the influence Of passion. Ordl-
nary life is calm, calculating, consid-
crate, and it is to ordinary life that
death is so terrible. It,s the thought
Of death is terrible, not death. Death
is gentle, peaceful, painless; instead Of
bringing suffering, it brings an end Of
suffering. It,.is a misery's cure.
Where death is, agony is not. The
process of death area Il friendly. The
near aspect of death is gracious.


There is picture somewhere of a fear
fnl face, livid and ghastly, which the
beholder gazes on with horror, and
would turn away from, but for hid |
eous fascination that not only rivets
his attention, but draws him closer tc
it. On approaching the picture the
hideousness disappears, and when di-


rectly confronted i is not any more


seen: the face is the face of an angel. |
1t is a picture of death, and the object
of the artist was to impress the idea
that, the terror of death is in appre
henson. Theodore Parker, whose OBJ |
scrvation of death was very large,
has said he never saw person Of any
belief condition CT experience, un-
willing to die when the time came,
and ny own more limited observation

speaks truth, begins TO show some signs Of
life. The Carlist insurrection is to be put

time cordons will be drawn around the insur-

government can do it. 1t is the opinion of

to march upon Madrid and compel the gov
ernment to surrender. We shall see. If the
government puts forth its strength few days
should be sufficient to show which is the
stronger--the government or the Carlists.
