ATE Ii.LIOISWEDDHiti.
At tie age of eighteen I
married a
, minister.
! Eugt-ue Morrison was my first and
last love
and though I must ia truth
say that a life of a minister a wile is
j a sort of refined slavery, still I had
j never for a moment regretted my
j choice.
j Eugene's first call after our marriage
! was to the village of Brookboroa small
I place in the State of Illinois.
j Our home was primitive, but I had
i brought with me many luxuries from
the east, and we both were young
j and hopeful, and life was not unpleas
ant 10 u.
I, of course encounteied the trials
of most minister's wives. I was crit
ic:?ed and found fault with, until I
wondered if I was not the incarna
tion of orignal sin itself ; and I fre
quently had doiibt3 wehther anybody
in the world was to be held responsi
ble for their ill deeds but myself.
My theology was very dubious at
this time, and my faith frequent
ly went down below low water
mark".
My parishoners were exceedingly
faithful ia pointing out the beams ia
my eyes. If ever a woman had in
centivts to reform ia the advice of
friends, then I had; iot a day passed
but I was admonished in some way.
Miss Splitwood said I dressed too
much. I
A minister's wife ought to set a
better example before the younglings
of her flock. I laid her admonition
to heart, and took the trimming oS
iny bqnnct, and wore it with nothing
but the cape. Then Mrs. Hale called to
tell me that it was.a disgrace to the
parisb.wearing such a dreadful bon
net I'eople would think, I was of
the Quaker persuasion. So I put the
trimming on again. Then old Mrs.
Stanly met me on the street, and
said so much blue ribbon was unbe
fitting the wife of a preacher of the
gosple, so I laid the blue ribbn aside,
and appeared in brown.
Aunt Saliie Lane called the next
dav before Dreakfast to know who of
mv folks was dead she had noticed
i that iuv bonnet was trimmed in mora-
in:
If I called on a few of my parish
they said I was gabbing, and pittied
"noor Mr. Morrison, dreadfully," if
I staid at home, was "too stack up to
visit poor folks."
Just as sure as the supply ia my
larder ran low, I would have an ia
flux of company and the air of Uroolt-
boro was favorable to the growth of
appetite.
All the straggling ministers, tract
agents, beggars and vagabonds came
to the parsonage; and we were oblig
ed to entertain them, because Eugene
said, by thus doing we might enter
tain angels unawares.
In endeavoring to do his command,
I gave shelter to a man who called him
self colporteur, and who pro red his
right to wear rings by stealing a dozen
sliver napkin rings and a better
knife, given me by my sister.
jjut I did not intend to write my
own personal history I was going
to give you a glimpse of an Illinois
wedding.
One tine day in the early winter,
mv husband received a buiumons to
iiurk'd settlements, to unite a couple
In the bonds of wedlock. It was
especially requested that his wife
should accompany him, and we
should te expected to remaiutail night
and partake of the festivities. It
wa3 twenty miles to the settlement,
and we reached the log house of Mr.
Durke, the father of the expectant
bride, about noon. A dozen tow
haired children were at the door
awaiting our arrivaL They tele
graphed the news instantly.
'Marm! mirni! here's the elder and
his woman! They're nothing but tolks.
She's got a man's baton, and a turk
ey wing in the front of it; and his
nose is just like dad's crooked as a
cow horn squash!"
Alas for Mr. Morrison's aquiline
noise of which he was a little vain!
"Sam!" called a shrill female voice
fjrom the interior of the cabin, "run
out and grab the rooster, and I'll
!.clap on the pot! Sal, you quit that
! churn and sweep the floor. Kick
I that corn dodger under the bed! Dill
you wipe the taller out oTtuat cheer
for the minister's wife and be spry
about it!"
Further remarks were cu. short bv
our entrance.
Mrs. Burke, in calco short-gown, j
blue petticoat, and bare feet, came!
forward wiping her face on her
apron.
"How do you do. Elder? how d,y e
do, marm? Must excuse my head
haint had no chance to comb it since
last week. Work must be did, you
know. Powerful sharp air, haint it?
Shoo, there! Bill drive that turky out
of the bread trough! SaL take the
lady's things. Set right up to the
fire, marm. Hands cold? Well, just
ruu 'era in Bill's hair-we keep it long
a purpose."
Bill presented his shaffgy head,
but 1 declined with an
shudder.

ESTABLISHED, 1853
TA., WEDNESDAY,
"Law, if she nin't ac'.nly a shiver
in!7 cried Mrs. Burk ' bring in
some more wood. Here inarm, take
thibot corn dodger into your lap
its as"good a soapstonc."
A fateful squall announced the exe
cution of the rooster, andthortly af
ter be was bouneiDg about in a foar
pail kettie hung orer the fire. Sal
returned to her churn, but the extra
ordinary visitor must have made her
careless, for s-he upet the concern,
and butter and buttermilk went
swimming over the floor.
"Grab de ladle, Dill," cried Mrs.
Burke,' "and help git it up. Take
keer, don't put that snarl of hair in.
Strange how folks will be so nasty.'
Dick, do you keep your foot out of
the buttermilk it won't be fit for the
pigs when the butter's gathered.
Drive that hen out quick she's pick
ed up a pound of butter already.
There, Sa!, do try and churn a little
more keeriL If you are gwine to
be spliced ter-morrow,- you needn't
run crazy about it"
"I'd advise you to dry op!" re
marked the bride-elect, thumping
away at the churn.
By the time I bad got fairly warm
ed, dinner was ready, and you mav
be sure I did not injure myself by
over-eating.
Xight came oa early, and after a
social chat, about the event of to-m'or-
row, i Eigninea my desire to re
tire.
Sal lighted a pitch knot, and began
climbinsr a ladder in one corner of
the room I hesitated.
' Come on," she cried, "don't be
afcared. Sam, and Bill, and Dick,
and all the rest of ye hide yer heads
while the Elders wife goes up. Look
out for the loose boards, marm; and
mind, or yoti'l I smash your brains
out against the beam, take keer of
the hole where the chimbly comes
through '
ller warning carrie too late. I
caught my feet in the end of a board
stumbled, and fell head long
through what appeaieJtoia intermin
able space, but it was oji'.y to the
room i naa just leiL wnere i was
saved from distruction by Bill, who
caught me in his arms and set me o n
my feet, remarking colly:
"What made you come that waj ?
We generally use the ladder."
I mas duly corarnisserated, and at
last got to bed. The less said about
that night the better. Bill and Dick,
and four others slept ia the same
room with us, and made the air vocal
with their snoring. I fell asleep, and
dreamed I was just being fired from
the muzzle cf a Columbiad; and was
awakened by Mr. Morrison who
informed me that it was morn
ing. The Marriage was to take place
before breakfast and Sally was al
ready clad in her bridal robes when
1 descended the ladder.
She was magnified ia a green cali
co, gown, over a crinoline full four
inches larger than the rest.of her ap
parel a white apron with red strings
blue stockings a yellow duck
ribbon, and white cotton gloves.
Iler reddish hair was fastened in a
plug behind, and well adorned with
the tail feathers of the defunct rooster
before mentioned.
When it was announced that Lem
Lord the groom was coming, Sally
dived behind a coverlet, which had
been hung across one corner of room
t) conceal pots and kettles, and re
fused to come forth. Mr. Lord lif
ted one corner of the curtain and
peeped in, but quickly retreated with
a stew pan following close behind,
and a few sharp words from Sally,
advising him to mind his own busi
ness.
Lemuel was dressed in blue, withl
bright buttons. The entire suit had
been made for his grand father oa a
similar occasion. His hair was well
greased with tallow, and his Luge
feet, encased in sheep skia pumps.
Very soon the company began to
gather, and in an hour the room was
filled.
"Now, Elder," cried the bride
groom, "drive ahead! I wan't it done
up short. I'm able to pay you for
the job do yer best. Come Father
Burke, trot out yer gal."
But Sally refused to be trotted.
She would be married where she
was or not at all. We argued,
and
was
her
coaxed, but she was firm; and it
finally concluded to let her have
own way.
Mr. Morrison stood cp the hap
py couple joined hands through a
rent in the coverlet, and the ceremce
ny proceeded. Just as Mr. Morrison
was asking Lemuel, "will yoa have
this woman, etc," down came the
coverlet, enveloping bride groom, and
pastor, and filled the house wuh dust.
Dick had been up in the loft and cut
the rope which held it.
Mr. Morrison crawled out, Io Amg
sheepish; and Sally was oblidged to
marry openly, lo the momentous
question, Lemuel responded, "To be
sure what else did I come for. "
and Sally replied, "Yaas, if you must
know."
"Salute vour bride," said Mr. Mor-
risson, when all was over.
"I'm ready to do anything reason
able, Elder," said Lemuel; ' but skin
me if I know about that air. Just
show me how and I'll do it, if it kills
me."
. My husband drew back nervously
but Sally advanced, threw her arms
around his neck and gave him a kiss
that made the very windows clat
ter. "I rum if I don't do ditto!,' cried
Lemuel, and hastily taking a huge
bite from a piece of maple sugar,
which he drew from his pocket, made
a dash at me-smashed my. colar,
broke my watch-guard into a dozen
pieces, tore mr hair down, and suc
ceeded in planting a kiss on my nose,
greatly to the delight oftbecompa
nr.
"Now, Elder what's the damage?"
don't be afraid to speak."
"Whatever you please;" said Mr.
Morrison.
Lemuel produced a piece of fur
from his pocket
"There, Elder," said he, "There's
a muskrat skin: and out in the shed
is two heads of cabbage, and you are
welcome to tho bull of it."
Mv husband bowed his thanks-
the young people went to dancing.
Mrs Burke went to getting breakfast;
and at mv earnest request, Mr. Mor-
rison got our
borse, and we bade
them adue.

A correspondent of the Boston
Glvbe, writing of the MJU Biver dis
aster, says: "Some of the workmen
of the brass works have a little hero
of their own in the person of Jimmy
Ryan, Tom Ryan's loy v lad about
twelve years of age, whose father
worked in one of the shops and lived
up at Williamsburg. When the news
first came to that village be got his
mother and seven little brothers out
of the house to a place of safety, and
then took a team and drove to Ilay
denville to warn bis father. He and
Grave3 left the village together, and
those who saw them thought they
were racing horses. He reached
HavdenvLlle after Graves and before
Hilemaa - turned back, and went
straight to his father in the brass
shop, and told him and other work
men what bad happened. Many of
the workmen say that they received
the first warning from Jimmy Ryan,
as did some people along the road as
he came down."

ed gaily. Then, drawing a few final
whiffs from her 'loved cigar,' she
threw the remaining hIf a.way, say
ing in a low sweet voice, 'See how

the perpetual snow oa verv high

Now, whea continued evaporation

from a higher to a lower latitude by
