Rkcoxcilkd and Marrikk It' only
once In a great wbile tbal Petroleum Cen
tre bal a genuine sensation, lesterday
afternoon, at tbe M. E. Parsonage, "two
brarta that were one, two son's that were
akin," Mr. Michael Bbooe and Miss Eliza
betn'McHugh, were joined In the boly bond
of wedlock, by Rev. Moore, bow aweet. for
it waa "love amung ibeioaea," la Ibe prea;
ence of a chosen few wltnewes, Messrs.
Thomas Snowdea, Gtei aod Shultr, aud
Mlsa Maggie Smith, aoting aa bridesmaids
aod groom, and well they acted their
parti a the poet lays
"Honor and fame
From o condition Pic,
Aot well your part
Tbere all the bonor lies." -There
wa a romance attached to tbia
wedding, which finally resulted in Michael'
taking
"Tbrl bright bell

Aod wherever it goes
It will aiog of tbe aea.
So be took tbla food heart
From ita borne and ita hearth,
Aod no doubt it will follow him
To tbe encaof the earth."
And again ibie unitiog of hearts and
baud) oauaed aome little aurpriae, from the
fact that Ihe parties thereto bad loved and
dissolved, one departing to tbe classic pre;
oinct ot tbe Butler aoap mines, wbile the
other took relnge, lor consolation only.wilb
Miea Julia tbe queen ol the city, lor
'Tula life la but a game of cards,
Wbicb mortals have to learn;

Consequently ber heart baa received a ter

While further dowa tb street a lone and

out In plaintive snatches of song
'1 am weary; loo and toilsome

Or breaking out In joyoua tones
"I koow my love by ail way or walking

It' very aflectlug.
It 1 not oftea that we Had In a boarding
school for young ladies so many evidences
of reform as baa been reported lu tbe High
School ol Portland, Me. The girl ol the
dial elans, or first class girls, have resolved
to dresi plainly and to dispense with dress
parade on examination day. Jewelry will
be indulged In, II at all,' to a very limited
extent. Lace Ibey entirely euaudoa.
But tbey have determined on eomethtog
better than tbia. It I to refrain no all oc
casion!, no matter wbat may be tbe tempta
tloo, from tbe use of slang phrases and
expression. Unlike tbe young lady who,
when asked If ibe bad determined to us do

Down, down, she saoK. with a fearfnl sound
Anchored oe.r KngUud's shore
The jiving sea a burial ground
For thiee hundred souls and morn.
The tale will be told lo happy borne
Making the life-blood creep; W
While tbe phantoms rise wneu all is bulb
ed,
And haunt ua In our sleep.
Sb left out shore In bound iogj.iy;
And hope and love beat high
As psreuts kissed soma cherished boy.
So soon io soon to die.
'We'll met again," was whispered oil,
On a brighter, happier atiore;"
Tbe waves replied lu ripples aofl,
"On earth you'll meet uo raoro."
Beautiful children with sun-lit hair,
Clung to their fatber'a eido
On stay, oh stay; for their sweet take
Crou not Ibe ocean wide.
Away, away, like son iwlHwinged bird,
Proud o'or the water they soar, m
Only again will their voice be beard
Ou eternity' boundless shore.
Tbe mooo aroso o'er the hapless scene,
Aod the waves rolliie awifily ou,
Waiting to England the fatal new
That so maoy souls were g.me.
The maiden lay with her snowwbite breast
Kissed by the foatoiug surge;
Peacefully bad sue la lien to rest
With tbe wild waves ruthless dirje.
Tbe lover was there; and bia c bolt a bride,
Clapped in death's cold embrace.
Over their lips the while wavea ride,
Wbicb tbe cor 1 had woul to grace.
Tile mother gitzrd at her sleeping child
And murmured, "My been will break;''
The iluuiberig babe unconsciously euiilcd
bhe only aeked lile lur its sake
"Nay, nay," laughed the billowe, with
cruel auoru.
"O'et you acd yoer babe we shall ride,"
Tbe sun rose bright un that fatal mum
Tbey were sleeping side by biuV.
Peaceful tbey sleep on Hie ocati'e breast,
Guarded by wa've aud foam,
Aud we trust that the luv'ed bave all found

Wo have lieaid olieu of 'pion-t truiid,'
but never could "exactly cuiulone i.'.i-n, ;
never keew just where ia the lit of mso ill-
ties to place them. Of courne it tvmid he
inferred from Ihe expression but tbry were
out ol Ibe strips of frauds reached by statute
however amendable to the moral la. v. And
so In classifying them we niiiat And a spot
where a real fraud, premeditated t'ritud, is
cloaked under a cootingeucy made to ap
pear accidental, but which ia fur anticipa
ted use. Ooeofttbisu Irsiids baa lately
come to our kaowiedge, and those who know
all about tb tricks ol Ihe trade say it is
only one of a kind very successfully prao
tlced. An advertisement appears oQVrlng'a
thousand dollars as prem'um (or tbe bett
Sunday school story. When tbe competing
stories are gathered, five of tbe best are ie
lected aod tb writers told that It la Impos
'ibie to determine Ibe relative merits, hence
tbe premium will be divided and the writer
of each receive two hundred dollars. That
secures five storiei Instead of one, and Ibe
five volumes entitled "the f 1,0(J aeries."
You see it now, don't you! There has been
just such a case and it is one of "a series''
of pious frauds" practiced eontisnally by
men who would mako every Sunday school
scholar an imitator of little George Wash
iogton the boy who never tld a lie.

provided that the oitizenat ot James

Mayville parties bave subscribed nearly
$2,000 of this amount. Tbe boat will be
built in Pittsburgh and transferred to tbe

this project is succsssfuily carried out tbe
