THE MAX THAT WAS MARRILD.
Not a sigh was beard nor a funeral note,
4nd the man to the bride was hurried;
Not a woman discharged her farewell groan
On the spot where the lellow was married.
No useless watch-chain corered his ve3t,
Nor over dressed we fouud him.
But he looked like a gentleman wearing his
best.
With none of bis friends around him.
Few and short were the things we said.
And we spoke not a word of sorrow.
But we silently gazed on the man that wa3 wed
Aud we bitterly thought on the morrow.
We thought, as we silently stood about,
With spite and anger eyeing,
llow the meanest stranger bad cut us out
With only half his trying.
Lightly we'll talk of the fellow that's gone.
And olt for the past upbraid him.
But little tell which, if we let him live on
In the house where his wile convened him.
But our heavy task at length was done,
When the clock struck the hour for retiring.
And we heard ihe spiteful squib aud pun
The girls weie sullenly firing.
Slowly and Fudly we turned to go;
We bad struggled and we were humin;
We shed not a teir, we spoke not our woe.
But we left him alone with his woman.

ABSENCE OF 17XIRD.
Mflcniilry remarks that absent mind
edncss is the mark of either a genius or
a fool. We think that Lord Macauley
was a little too severe on one of its sides
A man's mind may be so intensely oc
cupied u'nh lofty intuitions and inspira
tions that hif senses, seemingly, are
scarcely awake to the realities of this
tangible world.
A certain Scottish professor was not
more remarkable lor Ins writing on oo-
itical economy thitn for his frequent un
consciousness of what passed before him
lis absence of mind was so remarkable
that his wife once wagered that she would
accost him in the street, inquire after the
health of herself and family, and that he
would not rccocnize her. bhc actually
won the waper. The professor was once
taking a solitary walk on the banks of a
canal, into which in his abstraction he
walked. When within a yard of the
centre, an honest woman washing clothes
behind him bawled out, "Come cot, come
oot, in Id body, or ye II be uroon t. Ihe
warning sounds invading the tympanum
of his professional ear, had the effect of
making him turn right about, and forth
with recover the dry hind. The good
woman, concluding him to be an idiot,
sympathetically xc'.utr.ed : ' Puir body,
they nae m ickte to answer for that lets
ye gang yer lane."
A friend trlis ine following amusing
nstance of absence of mind: My grand
father was returning home one evening
from the hay field, driving his oxen be
fore a load of hay. lie had tied an old
mare, which he had been using, to the
cart behind, but happening to think of
one of her favorite tricks of pulling, he
untied her again, and mounting, rode
astride, still driving the oxen. He fell
into a deep revery, as was his wont, m
which balky mares and all other vexa
tious sublunary matters were banished
from his mind. Hut this serene state
was suddenly broken up by his happening
to think, when near home, that he had,
when starting from the field, tied that
unruly beast to the cart behind. En
tirely forgetting the precaution be had
afterwards taken, he whirled about only
to discover that she wa3 missing from the
place ; and, supposing that she . had
pulled loose, he rode back at full gallop
in search of the vixen. Jn the course of
half a mile he met one of his neighbors.
a stuttering fellow, to whom he called
out to know if lie had seen anything of
her. liefore the man had half sur
mounted his t-ts (perhaps from a comical
expression on his face,) the whole truth
flashed into my grandfather s mind, and
be turned back at full speed, without
waiting for a reply to his inquiry, only
exclaiming, "Let her go ; I'll net look
her up." 15ut it wa9 too late for him to
save himself, and his neighbors in the old
Vermont village never suffered the story
to be forgotten as long as he lived
there.
We knew of a young fellow employed
in a store on River street, who was one
day sent into the cellar to draw a gallon
of sperm oil. While waiting, he picked
up a piece of chalk, and in a minute he
was absorbed in sketching the proprie
tor's profile. The profile on the bogB
head was capital, but while the artist
was absorbed in his pursuit, the oil pur
sued its way over Ihe cellar floor. He
was informed he would not do for n mer
chant, but just now be is a first-rate New
York artist.
The following stories are told of the
abf-ent-mindedness of a clergyman of the
church of Scotland : lie married rather
late in life, and the marriage tour was on
the continent. At one of the halting
places, Mrs. retired to toe hy
menial bower in advance of her lord, who
sat for a time cogitating down stairs.
Presently be came to himself, and sum
moning the waiter, requested to be shown
to his bed room. He was, of course,
shown to the room in which his wife had
nlrendv retired. But be had forgot all
about matrimony and what it involved,
and recoiling from the doorway with hor
ror, turned upon the waiter with angry
upbraiding for Ehowing him to a bed
room already occupied by a woman I
One Sunday morning he was dressing in
his bed room on a chair in which lay a
tray containing half a dozen shirts, done !
up with fitting clerical stillness. He pro- !
gressed leisurely in his dressing till he !
-j tr
came to attempt fastening his waistcoat,
when he found the operation impossible.
After many ineffectual struggles, he
called his wife to his aid, who likewise
found the waistcoat difficully insur
mountable. She was at a loss to ex
plain the phenomenon, till she happened
to cast her eye on the shirt tray. It was
empty. The minister, in his absence of
mind, had put on the whole half-dozen
shirts, one on top of another, and it was
no wonder that his waistcoat would not
button. On another occasion he and his j
wife were under invitation to dine at the i
mansion of the laird of the pariah. The j
minister had been out for a long day's i
work, and when he came home, a lit f Ic
too late, he found his mistress already j
dressed and waiting. He at once went
up stairs to make his toilet with strict ;
injunctions from hisgood lady to be quick, j
He was so slow, however, that she got j
impatient, and went to site what was the
cause of the delay. Entering the bed
room she found the worthy man placidly
enjoying hia first sleep. Having un
dressed, it -seems that in his absence of j
mind he had taken it fur granted that the j
natural sequel was to go to bd, and he
lay totally oblivious of tha dinner party
at the laird's.
It is said of Sir Isaac Newton that he
often forgot to eat bis dinner, which his
housekeeper was accustomed to leave in
a closet near his study door. His head
was too much in the Heavens to mind
the earth; so a friend knowing his pecu
liarity, one day slipped his dinner out of
the banket and ate it. When at last the
philosopher camo out and greeted his
friend, he asked to be excused till he took
his lunch. On looking into his basket
and finding it gone, he simply exclaimed,
much to his friend's amusement, "Oh, I
forgot I had eaten ray dinner."

It is said of Neander, the learned lec- j
turer, and ecclesiastical historian of Ger- i
many, that his sister had to watch him
daily, to see that he did not start to the
university with his night cap on, or with
his study-gown and slippers ; and it was
not uncommon for him, when moving
aside from the jostling crowd in the street, j
to step into ihe gutter, where he walked
on and on, seemingly unconscious of
where he was stepping.
. The following anecdote illustrates sev
eral things, among others the presence of
mind of medical studonts, and the absence
of ditto sometimes in cabmen : A medi
cal student returning home late in a cub,
recollected, upon finding he had no money
to pay his fare, that he had dropped two
sovereigns at the bottom of the cab. lie
told the cabman, in an agitated manner,
of his losses, and begged of him lo wait
till he got a candid to look for ibem. He
went into the hall to look for one, but
while falling over the chairs in search of
a "lucifer" be heard the cab go otf. He
ran to the door, and, to his astonishment,
saw the cab galloping as fast as it cou'.d
down the street. He halloed, and called,
and shouted, but the cabman was so deaf
that he could not hear him. The medi
cal student, however, weut quietly to bed,
and, instead of reproaching himself for
the deception be had practised on the cab
man, lie laughed at the ingenious way in
which he had got home for nothing.
A story id told of a very good elderly

scenes frequently occur with parties who
visit the probate court for the purpose of
securing the necessary document to legal
ize their marriage. But the other day a j

as young, ascended the main steps of the S
court hou?e, and then, on being directed
to the probate court, took up the line of!

The rustic maiden, who was extremely

"Kiss Mk, Mamma!'' "Kiss me,
mamma, before I sleep." How simple
a boon, yet how soothing to the little
supplicant is that soft, gentle kiss ! The
little head sinks contentedly on the pillow,
for all is peace and happiness within.
The bright eyes close, and the rosy hp is
reveling in the bright and sunny dre-am
of innocence. Yes, ki?s it, mamma, for
that goodnight kiss will linger in the
memory when the giver lies mouldering
in the grave. The memory of a gentle

stormy billow to cross, many a rugged
path to climb, with thorns to pierce, and
we know not what is in store for the little
one so sweetly slumbering, with no mar
ring care to disturb its peaceful dreams.
The parched and feavered lips will be
come dewey again as recollection bears
to the sufferer's couch a mother's love
a mother's kiss. Then kiss your little

power in that kiss which will endure to
the end of life.
The Love of Ciitldhkn. If I were

No circumstance can render this world
wholly a solitude to one who has this pos
session. It is a freo masonry. Where
ever one goes, there are the little brethren
and 6isters of the mystic tie. No diver
sity of race or tongue makes much differ
ence. A smile spreads the universal
language. "If I. value myself on any
thing," said the lonely Howihorne, "is
that I have a smile that children love."
They are such prompt little beings too ;
they require so little prelude ; hearts are
won in two minutes, at that frank period,
and so long a you are true to them they
will be true to you.

JO iff OF ARC.
Just at this time when a new Joan of
I. , . .n
i Arc reported as appearing at rourwt
'.' "
Miss Anna Dickinson s lecture- on the
. . -it r - . . ta r i
historical Joan is of mterest. in tol-
lowing is a synopsis of the lecture :
' Miss Anna Dickinson commenced
by speaking of woqxjii in Prance from
the fifteenth to the nineteenth century,
and their disabilities, legal, social and
otherwise. Passing from this, she said
that among the many names which would
Pa& "own to eternity was tlwl of Joan
r i , , .
of Arc, who ended strife and won victo-
17 H the nation that had
1' f. . - .,
i lirnnrrlit tintrtl.4 miaarv rjn tfartlP hv o v
cluding women from the throne. In 131G,
when a young woman was sole heir to
the tbrooe, many believed tlien, as since.
! that a women bad not the nower to en-
' I

pleed on the throne. Little did the
Pple then think of ihe revolutions that
were to ensue, and lhat great victories
wou'J be won and peace established by
another young girl. In 1422, at tle death
of Charles the Sixth, Prance had been
ptriPPe,l niI bared to the skin. Tho
peasants were impoverished and famine
, followed. Charles the successor was a
weakling, while Bedford, who represent-
ed England, was the most powerful mon
arch of his time. It was tha power of
weakness against strength. The nation
stripped herself in her poverty, and tha
gay young French nobles threw them
selves into the struggle to win or die.
Here was the last stand to be taken for
French nationality, bat the teeth of bun-
Ser and coId g"aw through the strongest
resolutions, and Orleans stretched out
her hnnd3 to the King for help. Sud
denly, through the dark a light came,
and a voice like a tempest was beard
saying : " I am come from God to save
you."
" The speaker then proceeded to give
a biography of the celebrated subject of
her lecture. Joan ef Arc was born iu
1411, in Domemy, a little village of Lor
raine. Her fattier was a poor buW inde
pendent peasant, a man whose indepen
dence came from actual ownership of the
soil. Her mother was an industrious and
pious woman, and a bkillud workwoman.
Joan as a child was tender, benevolent,
pious, earnest and unselfish. She wa
not content in being at church simply at
matins and vespers, and she was so im
pressed with church bells that she gave
her scanty earnings to the bell ringer to
prolong their melodies. While her com
panions played she prayed, and in tho
great forest of the Vosges, near her fa
ther's house, she ofieu strayed, gathering
vague inspiration from the solemn under-
j ,one of ho tr9- IIer hree ptoo'l at
the crossing of two great roads, where
many travelers passed, anil the tales of
France they told grew sadder and sadder
as years passed by- The girl was in
tensely loyal. Her sentiment for Franca
was not a sentiment, it was a divine pas
sion. She loved France, believed in
France, and was entirely devoted to her
country. As she hears the proverb that
France, lest through a woman, shall be
restored through a girl cf the marshes of
Lorraine, solitude, nature, prayer and
faith feed the awful hope, and she be
lieves the is destined through God to re
lieve France of her enemies. In a vision,
she tells us, St. Michael appeared, and
told her God had chosen her to crown
the King, Henry VII., and drive out the
armies of the victorious English.
" Miss Dickinson then gave a glowing
portrayal of the visions of the deliverance
of France, which fastened themselves
opoii the mind of the young girl. But
the parents of Joan of Arc did not be
lieve in her visions, and finally an uncle,
who loved her, took her to his house, and
then went as her ambassador to the Gov-
! ernor to fay that Ins niece was ent by
God to raise the siege of Orleans and
crown the King. The Governor derides
txith uncle and niece, but finally tho
King sends for her to come into his pres
ence. Armed and equipped she traverses
one hundred and four leagues of territory,
every fortress of which i3 in the hands of
the enemy, and crossing right rivers
which have no bridges, is finally received
by the King, who disguine? himself, and
appears among hia courtiers. She at
once recognizes him, anJ as a last hope
be listens to her plans, and she is p!aced
in command with the title of general.
44 The details of the famous siege of
Orleans, the terrible attack on Paris, in
which Joan was wounded, and the crown
ing of the King at IJheims were then
given, and after a thrilling and feeling
account of Joan's betrayal, imprisonment
and death at the stake, the fair lecturer
closed with an appeal to women to live
in such a manner as to he worthy to be
long to the sex of which Joan of Arc
was the spotless, innocent and modest
representative, and to keep her in recol
lection with that remembrance which is
more than fame."
