THE MODERN CEREMONY
" Wilt take the brown-stone front,
These carriages, this diamond,
To be husband of my choice,
Fast locked in bonds of 113 men
And wilt thou leave thy home and friends
To be his loving Trite,
And help to spend his large income,
So long as thou hest life ?"
"I will," the modest mold replies,
The lovellght beaming from her eyes
" And wilt thou take this waterfall,
This ostentatious pride, .
With all these unpaid milliners' bills
To be thy chosen bride?
And wilt thou love and cherish her
Whilst thou has t life and health,
But die as soon as pos,lble
And leave her all thy wealth ?"
"I will," the fearless mate replies
And eager waits the nuptial ties.
"Then I pronounce you man and wife
And which I've Joined forever,
The next best man may disunite,
And the first divorce court sever."

A CAPITAL STORY
A Safe (?) Investment
In the second year of the late civil war,
I was married, and' went to live with my
husband in a small village on the Hudson
some fifty or sixty miles from New York.
The house we occupied was a large, ram
bling mansion, of considerable antiquity
for this country, and stood apart from the
rest of the village. surrounded by broad
fields commanding a glorious view of the
river and the hills' of the Highlands. It
had been built before the Revolution, by
my husband's great grandfather and,
though destitute of many " modern Im
provements,', was still a comfortable and
pleasant residence.
My husband was a lawyer and a large
real-estate owner in the neighborhood,and
at the period of which I. write,was greatly
perplexed, like many other persons in the
North, by the perilous state of the times,
and especially about the safe investment
of his funds, as the suspension of specie
payments, the great rise in gold, and the
the military disasters in Virginia, made
it almost impossible to tell where it would
be safe to deposit or to use one's money
in any very large amount.
In the course of his transactions in real
estate, it happened, one day, that we re
ceived what was for us then a large stun,
(about $10,000,) which lie brought home
and placed in my keeping, telling me at
the same time that he should have to be
absent during the evening, attending to
some business on the other side of the
river,•and should not be at home until
about midnight.
"You can place the money in the safe,
dear," he said, as he gave it to me, " and
to-morrow I will try and find sonic way to
invest it securely."
So saying he stepped into the buggy.
which was standing at the door,and drove
away, taking with him our hired man
Silas, and leaving me with no one in the
house but Dinah, an old colored woman,
who fulfilled in our modest household the
functions of cook and maid of all work,
as she had long done in the family of my
own parents, who on my marriage, yield
ed her to me as a valuable part of my
dower.
Dinah was indeed a character. She was
tall and very stout, weighing, she would
never tell how much, more than two hun
dred pounds. She was very black and as
lazy as she was black. do not think any
one could move more deliberately than
Dinah did that is, to move at all. And
by a wonderful dispensation she seemed
to feel that whether her other faults might
be she was strong on the point of locomo
tion. For when she had been moving
with a ponderous slowness, almost mad
dening to a person of ordinary quickness
one of her favorite expressiong
Miss Lillie, what shall I fly onto next?''
How she accomplished all that she did,
the brownies only know. We used some
times almost to tremble when there was
any special hurry about our domestic ar
rangements, and yet Dinah always man
aged to bring affairs to a consummation
just when a minute more would have ru
ined everything: and with undisturbed
front would slowly enunciate, Well,
miss, what shall I fly onto next?''
It was nearly dark when my husband
departed. and after giving my orders to
Dinah, or rather my .suggestions, I left
her, and made the tour of the house, to
see that all was safe and properly locked
up. This duty attended to I went to my
bed room intending to pass the time in
reading till my husband should return.
It was a large room on the ground flour
with two French windows opening on a
broad veranda. The windows were drap
ed with long yellow silk curtains.between
which the moonlight faintly entered, dim
med by the shadow of the roof of the piazza
and partly intercepted by the fringe of
woodbine which hung from it. My bed
stood with its foot toward the windows,
and with its head about half a yard from
the wall. It was an old fashioned struct
ure hung with yellow silk like the win
dows, but I slept with the hangings drawn
back and fastened to the head board. The
bed was so large that no one ever thought
of moving it except in those seasons of
household panic called house cleanings,
when the combined strength of three or
four men was called into requisition to
draw it into the middle of the room. So
elaborately carved was it that it went by the
name of Westminister Abbey in the fam
ily. At one end of the room, at no great
distance from the bed, was a large safe,
built into the huge chimney of the man
sion, with a door high enough for a person
to enter standing, upright. Here I was
accustomed to place, every evening, our
silver plate on shelves which extended
around the sides, on which also were
placed boxes containing papers and other
valuables. Opposite the foot of the bed-
stead between the windows, was a mirror
running from the floor almost to the ceil
ing. Like all other furniture in the'room,
it was old and handsome. How many
happy scenes it had reflected in the hun
dred. years it had stood there!
The night was exceedingly hot, and I
therefore left the windows open, though I
drew the curtain before I seated myself
at the table in the centre of the room,
lighted the candles, and began to read, in
order to pass the heavy time before the
return of my husband.
After awhile, I heard the clock strike
nine, at which hour Dinah always went
to bed. Her chamber was in the attic,
the third story of the house. Remember
ing some houshold matter about which I
wished to speak to her, I started hurriedly
up, and went into the entry to intercept
her before she got up stairs. I had to
wait about a minute before she came, and
our coloquy continued three or four min
utes more.
When I returned to my bedroom, feel
ing somewhat tired, I resolved to go to
bed, as, at that late hour in the country
it was quite certain that no visitors would
call, and my husband could let himself in
with the latch-key, which he always car
ried. I thought, however, I would try
to keep awake by reading, and according
ly placed a light-stand and the candles at
the head of my bed. I then closed and
fastened the windows, undressed and got
into bed. The key of the safe I placed,as
usual, under my pillow.
After reading perhaps half an hour, I
grew weary of the book, and, quietly lay
ing it down, remained for some minutes
meditating with my eyes fixed on the mir
ror opposite the foot of the bed, in which
I could see myself reflected, together with
the yellow silk curtains behind my head.
I was thinking,not unnaturally, how pret
ty I looked, and how happy I was with
such a loving husband and such a
large sum of money secure in our safe,
when suddenly I saw in the mirror a sight
that made my heart stand still. A hand
appeared between the curtains, drawing
them slowly apart, amid grasping cautious
ly the headboard. It was a man's hand,
large and dark, as if belonging to a mulat
to, or to one greatly_tanned by exposure
to the weather.
My first impulse was to start from the
bed, and scream for help. 1 repressed it
by a strong effort of will, and lay perfectly
motionless, except that I partially closed
my eyes, keeping them only sufficiently
open to watch the mirror. As quick as
lightning my mind took in the situation.
In the few minutes of my absense from
the room,while talking with, Dinah in the
entry. a thief, a robber, a possible ;mur
derer, had stolen in by the piazza -win
dows,and had hidden himself either under
the bed or behind its draped head. Ile
was doubtless armed; and, if I cried out
and attempted to escape from the room lie
could easily reach the door before I could,
aniDfor 11;s Own security would probably
put me to death. Dinah was too distant
and too feeble and clumsy to afford me
any assistance, and besides was by this
time fast asleep in the third story. The
man doubtless knew that my husband had
that day received a large slim of money,
and had gone off across the river leaving
me alone, or nearly alone in the house.
1 Le had entered caring only - for the money,
and anxious, above all things, to escape
undetected and unrecognized. If I let
him know that I was aware of his pres
ence I should expose myself to murder.and
perhaps to outrage worse than murder.
My obvious policy was, to keep quiet and
feign sleep. f thought also of the money,
and was not altogether willing to resign
that without an effort to save it, and to
have at least some clue to the identity of
the thief. I confess,` however, that this
Lust consideration was not a very strong
one, mid am afraid that, if I could have
seen my way clear to escape from the
room and the house, I should have lied
suddenly, without stopping, to see more
than that terrible hand.
A moment which seemed an hour pass
ed while these thoughts rushed through
my mind. 1 lay perfectly still with my
half-closed eyes watehing the mirror.
Slowly and noislessly the frightful hand
pulled up its owner until T mild see the
head and face reflected in the glass, and
glaring at me with fierce yet wary eyes.
The than was a mulatto, very dark, with
evil passions written in every lineament.
1 could scarcely refrain from n shuddering
at the sight of his hateful visage, and
speedily closed my'vyes to shut it out.
I was not yet quite ready for the ordeal
through which I'Omew I must:soon pass.
I wanted to move my light and the stand
a little out of the way. and so arrange the
bed-clothes that I. could spring front the
bed without impediment. I therefore
gave a little sigh and moved, as if about
to awake, slightly opening my eyes at the
same tine. The head and hand instantly
disappeared. I then composedly made
the desired changes in the position of the
stand ;old the arrangement of the bed
clothes, put my watch with the key of the
sate under my pillow—so near the edge
that they could easily be taken out, as I
knew they would be—extinguished one of
my candles. said my prayers, and closing
my eyes. assigned myself to any fate, with
no very sanguine or definite hope of ex

I heard a soft step approach from a place of
concealment, lint as often I was de
ceived. Then again that dreadful still
ness. and which I counted the tickings of
the watch through the pillow. It was a
positive relief when he came out from be

stood looking at me, as 1 was well aware,
though my eyes were closed. I forced
myself to breathe regularly and audibly.
Ile came closer; he bent over me. Ile
passed the lighted candle slowly before my
face two or three times. I felt the heat.
and saw the light through my closed lids
which must have quivered, though he did
not seem to observe their motion. II (lawn
gave me strength not to move or cry out.
Satisfied, apparently, he put back the can
dle-stick on the stand, mid his hand crept
slowly and softly• under the pillow. and.
one by one, he removed my watch and the
key of the safe. He stood so long looking
at me, that I felt impelled to open my eyes
suddenly upon him.
As he walked softly towards the safe, I
did partly open them, and cautiously
watched him through my eyelashes. I
heard bin fumbling with the lock, and
once he looked over towards the bed. My
eyes were wide open, but I closed them
in time not to be detected. 'Watching him
stealthily, I saw hint open the door of the
safe, go back to the stand for the candle,
and return to the safe, which lie entered
without withdrawing the key from the
lock.
'Here was the opportunity for which I
had waited and watched. I sprang lightly
from my bed, with one bound reached the
safe, dashed the door to, turned the key,
and with one long and loud shriek fell
prostrate and senseless on the floor of the
dark room.
How long 1. lay upon the floor, I do not
know—probably for a few minutes on' y—
but, as I was unconscious, it seemed,
when I came to myself as if the interval
had been a long one. I was aroused by
his blows upon the iron door, and found
myself weak after the long nervous ten
sion, but still calm. I remembered the
satisfaction with which I thought, while
I lay there before rising, that he could
not escape, mingled with a vague and
foolish dread that lie might in his rage
burn the valuable contents of the safe.
He pounded desperately on the door, and
swore fearfully at finding himself entrap
ped. But, as I took no notice of his out
cries, he soon grew quiet.
Presently I rose, and, lighting a candle
dressed myself with all possible haste,and
with trembling fingers, turning often to
look at the safe. from under the closed
door of which I more than half expected
to see blood trickling—why I cannot tell,
except that my mind was full of images
of horror. I was soon in readiness. I
had no means of ascertaining the time, as
he had my watch in his pocket, and there
was no clock in the room. Taking the
candle, I hastened to arouse Dinah, who.
as I shook her, slowly opened her eyes.and
with scarcely any more than her usual
slowness pronounced her formula: "Well.
Miss Lillie, what shall I fly—Lord a mas
sy! what's de matter wid de chile? You
ain't seen a ghost—have you, honey?''
No, Dinah: but I've seen something
worse than a ghost. I've caught a rob
ber, and he's in the safe. What time is
it?'' and, looking at the clod:, that tickled
slowly and deliberately—as how could
Dinah's clock help doing?—l saw to my
great relief that it was nearly midnight.
We had scarcely got down stairs when I
heard the sound of wheels. A. moment
more and may husband was in my arms lis
tening with amazement to a rapid narra
tive of my singular adventure. I would
not stiffer ldm to open the safe until Silas
had summoned assistance from the neigh
boring houses. I feared that my desperate
prisoner might still escape. When the
safe ',vas opened, there sat my burglar on
the trunk, half stupefied for want of airs}
knife in one hand, the package of money
in the other,. and the burned out candle at
his feet. Ire M'lTSfe - eo4lliZed as all old of

long as lie lives; for 1 confess 1 should
not feel easy to hear that he was again at
large. The look of rage he gave me on
coming out of the safe will not soon be
obliterated from my memory.

and coolness which had doubtless saved
my life as well as our money. The love

sufficient compensation for the horror and

CURMUS SUPERSTITIONS
There are ninny superstitions connect
with cutting toe and anger nails. Lu
recently published work we are told that
a boy's nails must not be cut until he is a
year old. for fear he should grow up
thief, or, as they quaintly express it
"light-lingered." The mother 11111 St bite
them off, if need be; and in the west of
Northumberland, England, it is believed
that if the lirst paringslareburied in an ash
tree, the child will turn out " a top sing
er." When the year of infancy is past,
and baby's linger nails may safely be giv
en up to the scissors, care must be taken
not to cut them on a Sunday or Friday.
Friday, of course, is an unlucky day: and
as for Sunday, the old rhyme says:
Bet ter a child had ne'or !wen horn,
Than cut his mut, on Sunday noon!
Another variation of the verse runs
thus:
'Friday hair, Stuadny horn,
Letter that. child haul nufer beat burn!
Or, at greater length:
:cm them on :%tonutty, cut them tor henith
Cut them Ott Tuesday, cut them for 0 eaftl,
Cut them ott WO. nesduy, cu; then, for um,..

COURTESY
We know no qualities that should lie
cultivated more sedulously by the
,young
than courtesy of deportment and kind
ness of manner. The effect is beneficial
in almost every point of view. A fallor
is greatly enhanced by the tone, and man
ner by which it is characterized; Ivlnle
refusal to confer an obligation may be
softened and stripped of much bitterness
by courteous and kindly expressions. It
is so easy, too. for this grace to become
habitual. Nothing so polishes and refines,
nothing so fully softens and subdues.
The agreeable ;old the disagreeable are
the strong contrasts in society. They
may be seen in every department in life—
in the press, the pulpit. in the counting
room and in the store. A Mush spit it is
easily detected. A bluff manner is al
ways repulsive and offensive.
•I illy face dirty." asked a young lady
from the back Nvoods• while seated with

•• Dirty? O. Why did you ask?" Be

plating a towel beside my plate. I've
thrown three under the table. and yet

VIONSITUDT..,'S OF II YOUNG- GIEL
-V correspondent in announcing the
death of Mrs. Marie Matilda Kibb, wife
of Chauncey 11, Niles, a resident of this
city, in Cleveland, a short time since,
calls to mind a few incidents connected
with her love and marriage that smack
somewhat of the romantic, not to say sen
sational.
Her parents were well-to-do, respectable
people, residing in the state of New York,
and surrounding their daughter with all
the luxuries and comforts that heart could
desire, she was apparently happy and con
tented at home until ME, when she
chanced to meet the person who after
ward became her husband. Being of a
pleasing disposition, and withal fair look
ing, he gained her affections, \silk:ll ripen
ed into love. She formed a resolution to
leave her parents, her happy and luxu
rious home, and elope with the man of her
choice, with whom she way yet slightly
acquainted.
They did not leave her home together—
Niles starting some hours ahead of her:
he went to Cleveland, thence' to Toledo.
from there to Fremont, where he met the
young lady. She there informed him that
her brother was in pursuit, and to thwart
detection he procured for her a suit of
male attire, which she donned going from
Fremont to Toledo, where he found em
ployment, and she went to peddling
oranges on the street, and actually sold
her brother one as he met her, he little
dreaming that the little boy of 14 was the
sister whom he was in search of.
From Toledo the pair went to Nash
ville. Niles being an engineer, soon ob
tained a locomotive to run from the form
er place to Chattanooga, on the Nash
ville and Chattanooga Railroad, the girl
being his iireMall. They had worked on
the road but a short time before he re
ceived a Nround by the rebels firing, into
the train. Ile was taken to the hospital.
she following and nursing him. until he
had sufficiently recovered to travel to
Cleveland.
Their next; appearance was at the
Madoc gold mines, in Canada, having
caught the gold fever which was raging
at that time, and :iceordingly took up the
life of miners. It being a wet season
nothing was done in the mines, and they
returned to Cleveland. The excitement,
hardships and vicissitudes she had expe
rienced and endured were too much; a
fever ensued, and after a short illness she
was borne to that home from whence no
traveler returns.—Grand Rapids Eujic.

SMALL MEN IN A CZ:7
if you want to try a man's statute, place
him in a large city. It is surprising how
New York reduces all who come into it.
A man in the country is very rich if he
owns a farm, or a block of village property,
and has e 30,000 at interest. But what is
this in New York? A men can have a tine
oducation,und be able to deliver a creditable
Fourth of July speech. lie may be the
village oracle, and it may excite public
wonder that one small head should contain
so much knowledge, but let hint meet with
some of our city savants, and he will soon
discover his utter delicsency.
New York, like other great cities, con
tains a certain number of very learned
men, whose facilities of mental acqusition
give them great advantages. Great, cities,
like great oceans, are thoonly places where
great growth is reached. Only the vast ex
tent of the South sea can produce the im
mense sperm whale, and only a Now York
can produce a Vanderbilt or an Astor in
wealth, or a Parker in surgery, or an O'co n
nor at law,
There is a great dispo>it ion among sme
cesatul men the country to move to this
city. They think it is just the sph.•tc for

as a man in New York on X 5,000. On this
account I will stay where 1 ant, for in New
York I should be a mere nobody."
Yes,everything, becomes dwarfed when it
comes to New York. A cluntry merchant
who sells ;;30,000 worth of goods in a year is
doing a large business. Stewart retails
twice that amount in .1 day. A dwelling

Astor House. A country bank with a cap
ital of $:.100,001.1 is a largo affair, but we have
several banks each with to capital of ten
times that amount. On this account it is
well for those men who in the country have
size and stature, to stay there, for here they
will become dwarfs.
One may Mid an illustration of this in
such a man as Brick Pomeroy. A few
years ago he had no little note us a 'Western

which gave him position, he might have
retained his prominence. In an evil hour
he yielded to an ambition for metropolitan
distinction and here we tind hint sank to

But alas! there are few men who know

KEEP YOB: FAM/L7 P..4.PEE
The last that should be given up, in a well
organized family, is the regular weekly lo
cal paper. Times may be hard and money
scarce, but in the midst of the greatest
financial distress, the most difficult thing
to dispense with is the family newspaper.
There are few persons who will do it under
any circa instances,and the wisdom of their
decision is manifest. The newspaper is a
man at the lookout. It keeps the farmer
advised of the changes and fluctuation, of
the markets; of the current news and items
of the day; of the regulations of the financial
policy of the country; of everything that
pertains to the farming mid business inter
