VAN DYKE'S SULPHUR SOAP,
Is without a rival in the cure of skin diseases of
all descriptions. It has been thoroughly tested
by the medical and the public, and is re
commended and extensively used by physicians.
This soap is combined with pure sulphur, which
enters the pores of the skin, and being absorbed
into the blood removes therefiom all impuri
ties by exciting the skin to healthy action. Be
sure to ask for VAN DYKE'S SULPHUR SOAP,

A Marriage in War Time;
A CONFiDERATE ' SOLDIER'S STORY-WHY
• THE GROOM )IASTENED TO THE
WEDDING.
I remember - a very amusing Marriage
ceremony which I once performed. I
was busy tryingto makeup some bread
for my mete. (I was then •high pri
vate in the rear 'rank, of "the old Thir
teenth Virginia Reniment), when a
bright young fellow in the 'Maryllnid
IT onv mister, are
yon a preacher ?' Not suipriied at the
doubt implied in the question, for nei
ther my dress nor my occupation was
very, clerical, I replied. - 'Yes, I claim to
be.' Are you authorized to marry peo
ple in this State ?"I am.' 'Well, you
are-the,very man I have been looking
for five' days.' am glad you have
found me at last. What can I do for
you ?' 'I want you to marry me, sir.'
'When ?' 'Right away, sir; just as
soon as you can get there.' Where ?'
'About two miles dawn the•road.'
Accordingly, I got permission froni
my Colonel (A..P. Hill), satistled.my
self that the license was all right, and
started. As we were going along, the
little fellow (the license stated that he
was 21, but he really did not look so be
over 16) pulled oat his license and said:
'Look . here, Parson; suppose anything
should happen so that we could not get
married to-day, . she could not marry.
any one else so long as I hold these .
(shaking his license) agin her, could
she ?' When I- explained that • the li- I
censer-was-of do binding , force until the'
ceremony was performed, he started off
in a half run, exclaiming. 'Well, come
on, Parson; we must make haste !'
Beginning to suspect mat there was
something wrong, I stopped nis i () said:
must have an explanation of this,
sir: Ido not mean, to do anything con
traryto law and right. Did you not
tell me that you had the full consent of
the young lady's parentS, and that there
was no obstacle in the way of your mar
riage ?' 'Yes, it's all right, Parson;
come on and I'll explain it all to your
satisfaction. The whole truth is that I
have been sick down at that house—or
rather.have been pretending to be sick
—for several weeks, end there has been
a little girl down there whO has been so
kind to sac that I want to marry her for
it. Now, my Colonel (his Colonel was
'George H. Seward, an old West Point
er, and one of the most rigid disciplin
-arians in the army) has' found out that
I am well, and I am afraid he will send
a guard after me and put me in the
guard house; thattefore I -get out the
brigade will move away, and so I may
not get a chance to be married at all,
and she my then go and marry, some
other fetlow.• Come on, Parson I
Please let us make haste . •
I followed him as rapidly as could,
and on reaching the place I ascertained
that the guard .ha 3 actually wine for;
him before he came after me, but bad
agreed to wait for him if he could pro
cure If preacher and hurry up the mar,

TORTURE IN RUSSIA.—The rumored
torturing of the late Czar's murderers
before their. execution, although suspi
cious as proceeding from a Nihilist
source, is wel ealdulated to inflamelhe
disaffected elements of a nation whose
dismal history. has made such horrors
only too credible to them. .To most .
European States cases of judicial tor
tare are merely a dim tradition of the
last century; in Russia they are vivid
and terrible realities. 'Under the iron
rule of Nicholas, prisoners were repeat

seventeenth century, is extremely satir

it unto the poor.' To Cromwell he be

adds the Earl, 'had been to have given
him more; but all who have seen his
'History of the Parlielinentl_will
sider that even this sum i 4 too large.'
Perhaps the most characteristic bequest
in this will is the following : 'Seeing
