In weddod lovo our lives bad twined One yearone oaroloas, goldon year And then bo died, my darling died; And, forthe joy tbat harbored there, My heart was filled with dark despair. I traced tho haunts ho loved the boat In dear, lost days alas, so brief! And mera'ry's breathings, once so sweet, Hut fanned tho furnace of my grief: Thoy brought no tears to my roliof. At early dawn I sought bis grave, 'Mid quaint-carved stones, o'orgrown moss, And lo 1 upon the hallowed mound In seoming emblem of my loss Tliore fell the shadow of a CroBB. And, kneeling there in tearless woe, Mcthought I heard my darling say: " Oil, love I thy grief a shadow is, Which, as a dream, shall pass away, Where shadows melt In oloudless day 1" Thon found my anguiHh vent in tears, Strange tears of hoav'n-born J peace, with tha shed , Around my soul a boly oalm: And when I rose, thus comforted, Tho shadow from the grave had fled. , Good Word$. An Unceremonious Wedding. "One thing I am determined upon," remarked Mrs. Sue Hathaway, deci sively. " You, Fan, shall have a de cently ceremonious wedding. When I think of the harum-scarum way in which Charley end I were thrown at one on- other, the wonder 1b not that we haven't quarreled since, bat that we were ever really married at all." " Tell me all abont it, Sue dear," coaxed Mrs. Hathaway's youngest and - pet sister, as she folded and replaced in their boxes the dainty articles which she was preparing for her own trouj- stati. " Yen have always spoken of your wedding day as the most un happy day of your life; bnt I cannot, conceive how tbat can be, when you and Charlie love one another so dearly." "And if we had notAovad each other beyond all possibility of quarreling, we would certainly have broken our en gagement an hour before the ceremony was really performed. I sincerely trust, dear Fan, tbat your married life may bt as happy as mine has proved, and thai heaven may defend you from a wedding duy an chaotic as mine. ray remembrance oi ine anair in that it was a perfect success. You are such a manager, Sue, you are always in request for tableaux and private theat ricals. I never knew an occasion which you were not equal to, from a charity bazaar to the state dinner the ladies gave the foreign deputation. I was only eight years old when you were married; but I remember that I was your bride maid, and that I wore a puffed mull, with pink kid gloves. They were the first kid gloves I ever had, and I was as proud as a peacock of them. I wouldn't carry a bouquet for fear of soiling and hiding them, but marched in, arm in arm with Isabel's oldest boy, with my hands displayed as conspicuously as possible." " And do you happen to remember what a soamp that boy was? He was the cause of more than half mr tribu- latino. lie was a regular little Ishmael 'his hand against every man, and every man's hand against him.' And when I think what a Bohemian Isabel has been all her life, and of the wildly preposterous way m which she was mar ried, I don't wonder. She was study ing abroad when she met her hus band. They had both- gone to Europe for a number of years, and they con' oluded to be married at the Ameri can consul's, and continue their foreign residence, instead of coming home for the ceremony. They were married in the evening and took a steamer imme diately after for some Mediterranean port. Isabel's trunks had been sent on board during the afternoon, but when they drove down to the wharf at nicht they found that the ship had moved from its anchorage, and they were obliged to hire a waterman to row them out. The water was very rough, and in a sudden lurch of the little boat Isabel was thrown overboard. She was promptly rescued by her husband an 1 got safely on board, but in a com pletely drenched condition. Now comes the ridioulous part. It was a cargo steamer which only carried a limited number of passengers, and it bo hap pened that there were no other ladies on board. Isabel's trunks were buried in the hold where it was impossible to get at them, and the valise whioh had fallen into the water with her, had gone to the bottom, and Isabel retired to her stateroom to improvise a toilet out of some flannel underclothing of the captain's and two Marseilles bed spreads." "How very dreadful J" exclaimed Fan. choking with laughter. " She succeeded, too ; Bhe basted up a wrapper of the bedspreads witn a Watteau plait in the back, trimming the front with a Turkish towel torn in strips, and breakfasted next m or: ing iu that costume. Her husband told me he never saw her dressed so becoui' ingly." " I always thought Isabel was a ge- nius," Fan remarked, admiringly. " Yes. but what a very singular pro ceeding ! Isabel is five years older than I am. and I look up to her for cer tain qualities. Bat bhe has no idea of ceremony or etiquette, and ihe utterly ubhors convention. Now I say that ''nig married at all is a concession to conventionality, und if you are going to acknowledge the claims of society so far as that, you might as well do tne thing respectably and in good form. I am a manager, as you say, and it was for that very reason that the ertire arrangement of my wedding was left to me. We were living in the old lamuy mansion in the country, two miles from the church, and of course the wedding had to be at the house. This troubled me from the first, for the ceremony is always bo much more solemn and im pressive before the altar, and I wanted to think of it as a sacrament, to really feel the sacrdness of the vows I was taking upon myself. Instead of this, I knew perfectly well tbat I should be distracted by people whispering and giggling dur ing the minister's very prayer. What restraint can there be in parlors where one has danced the German a score of times, and whero one expects to dance again in a few moments ? Besides, the house was to be crammed with com pany, and I was morally certain that everything would be in confusion. Charlie s family were coming; they are very ariatocratio; and I was more afraid of them then than I am now, especially of his sister Adelaide. Hue is the most envious and spiteful creature in the world, did all she could to spoil the matoh, wanted Charlie to marry some particular friend of hers. Then there was Aunt Hue Stockstill, for whom I was named. We were all very fond of her, and our love was tempered with a respectful admiration which amounted almost to fear. " The entire second floor was given up to guests, and we were huddled iu the little bedrooms under the mansard roof. You and I had Bridget's room, and she slept on a pallet in the kitchen. Charlie had a cot bed in the hall. All of our bovs slept in the stable loft. Father swung himself up in the ham mock on the back veranda; it was July, but he took a horrid cold all the same Mother had the trunk room until Isabel arrived with her two boys, when it was given up to her, and mother camped on the lounge in the back parlor. Now that ib only the background to tho pio tare. We had no city caterers to pro vide the banquet. Mother made every cake, and had her hands quite full enough to provide a handsome table daily for her guests. I had loads of beautiful flowers sent me, and Isabel took the decorating of tho parlors off my hands. That was really a great help, for she has exquisite taste and rare inventivegenias. She rigged a su perb wedding bell out of an old hoop skirt, and turned tho old rooms into bowers of beauty. But I had all of the receiving and entertaining of the guests upon my hands, and all the little ar rangements to make which are al ways left to the last moment. Your dress came, and had t-jbe altered; I sat np late into the night to do it. Then you and your tiny groomsman had to rehearse your entree, and your young nephew did behave abominably, lie caught your dress out of my hands and raced with it downstairs into the par lors. He got himself up at the last moment like a wild Indian, instead of dressing as he should have done. He left the water running until it soaked through the ceiling below; he hung" the cat over the balustrade, and made bonfire in the wood-house; he sifted a quart of salt into the ice cream as it was being frozen in the cellar. There was no end to the pranks that fellow per petrated. The wedding presents were displayed in the library. They were superb. I had not expected anything so beautiful. But Adelaide whispered about that with the exception of one dozen spoons it was all plated ware, and that half of the porcelain and bric-a-brac was hired for the occasion. Isabel repeated her remarks to me just in time to raise my angry passions to a white heat, and to send me down stairs inwardly raging on my wedding morn. Wo were to be married at noon precisely, in order to take the 3 o'clock train for the city. I had a very elabor ate and becoming traveling costume, which I had decided to wear, with the addition of a real white Spanish lace mantilla arranged as a veil. Aunt Sae met me at breakfast. ' My dear child,' she said, I can't bear to think of your not being married in white. Nothing else is suitable for a bride. near the India muslin in which you looked so lovely at your graduation.' 1 did not dare displease Aunt Sae; but the muslin was crumpled and yel low; it would looK dreadfully by day light. There was still time, and I de termined to have shutters closed, cur tains drawn, and tne rooms iignted as for evening, urotner Jied Helped me arrange four dozen wax candies on brackets among the flowers. When they were lighted, the rooms made me think of Victor lingo b description of the mar riage of Gorinne. It was aa brilliant and sparkling as fairyland, and the tumbled muslin would look very well. I ran upstairs to dress. But first I had your hair to curl and gloves to nt, and then I must need wash the vermilion from the face of that boy. Then Charlie, who was vainly trying to tie his cravat without a glass (he had dressed in the bath-room), came to me for assist anoe, and I saw the minister drive up to the door before I had begun my toilet. I was half dressed when Char lie tapped at the door. 'Sue Sue, dear I they are having a council of war downstairs, and they don't like the idea of our being married by artificial light in the daytime. The majority think it an aneetation, and it rattier stnKes me so, too. Isabel asked me to ask you to let her take down the candies. Bhe I didn't care to epeak to you about it herself; she said you had so much to fret yon.' " Tell her to take them down,' I re plied, in a choked voice, and then I burst into tears. It was tho last straw, and Charlie and I came nearer tr mar reling then and there than we d in our lives. I hadn't the hea . to go on with my dressing, but sat and boo hooed until Charlie came to the door again to say that the company was wait ing. Then I dashed into my clothes. I had no time to comb my hair, but Charlie pinned the lace veil over it rather awkwardly, so that we deluded ourselves into the idea that it did not show, and I stood up in my creased and second-hand gown, with unkempt hair, and face and eyes swollen with weeping, and was married, with the glare of noon day displaying all defeots. They say thbt the consciousness of being well- dressed gives a peaoe of mind which even religion cannot impart. Imagine, then, my torture to be a gazing-stock at such a time before all those people I I had it in my heart to murder them all and then kill myself. Then afterward. We had thought, of course, that the com pany would remain and dine with our family, and then take the evening train for the city. But no. Adelaide thought it would be so jolly for all to go down en masse. Ned had to drive like mad to the livery- stable to get conveyances for them all, and Charlie and I got to the station in separate carriages. The engine was decorated with evergreen and flags in my honor, but the conductor thought Adelaide 4waeJ the bride, and gave ner my seat, and I was very nearly left, for Ned came driving me up with our Blow old Pilgrim jist as the conductor had given the signal for starting, Uharlie was on the rear platform waiting for me. He pulled the cord violently, and jerked me on, while JNed gave me a parting push. My elegant traveling costume was torn half off me. How every one laughed ! and Aunt Sue made a spec tacle of me by producing her housewife and sewing me up before the assembled multitude. Then half of the party went to the same hotel that we did, and it leaked out that we were a newly mar ried couple, and altogether it was the most completely mortifying and dis heartening day of my life." "You poor thing r laughed Ian. ' If you had only had a nice competent sifter, as I have, to take all the worry off your mind, then yon could have resigned everything to her good provi dence, as I do, and have calmly awaited vour fate with folded hands." " Yes; if I had had some one to rely upon I might have given my thoughts to more serious matters. Or if Charlie bad been more conservative in his ideas, more punctilious in matters o etiquette, he might have helped me out but he did just as every ono else does, left everything to me, and I bad the sat isfaction of making a grand fiasco of it all. But I will do better by you, Fan. You are not to be married until Jane; that will give us plenty of time to com plete the arrangements. The ceremony shall be at St. Andrew's, and I will give you the most recherche of receptions. I am very glad the professor has decided to spend his vacation abroad; it is just the thing for a bridal tour. You can have your selection of the young men from the graduating class, with whom you flirted bo unconscionably, for your ushers. To think of your receiv ing all that attention from the under graduates, and then marrying a grave professor I It does seem bo funny." " But he is not grave at all, Sue; and he is verv young for his honors. Only thirty, and I am twenty-three, a real old girl. You don't realize how time flies." : " Well, if he is not old, he is at least dignified and formal good material to work with at the start. He would give a certain prestige to . any occasion. I shall have the satisfaction of seeing you married in good style. You will re deem the family." Mrs. Hathaway left the room with a flutter of drapery, and Fan fell into a muse. Her father and mother lived alone now in the old family mansion, Isabel was in Europe again, Ned and the other boys were out West, whilst she was whiling away the winter at Sue's beautiful home in the city. She was weary of society, and she wished that summer was nearer, whon Alston could leave his college duties and claim her. She cared as little for ceremony as her Bohemian sister Isabel ; she wished it all over, and herself settled in a home of her own. Home ! What a delightful sound I Should she ever realize the word? There was a ring at the door. The postman hod brought her letters from her professor and from her m.ther. "DABLiNa Fannt" (wrote the first), "I can't wait. June is a long, long way off, for the winter is only just begun. Moreover, there is no need of waiting. We were idiots to think of it Mrs. Delancy has gone South for the winter and has advertised her lovely home to let, furnished. You remember it, do you not? It was at a sociable there, behind the garnet plush curtains in the bow-window, that you told me The house has had its associations for me ever since. I never go by it in the evening and see the light streaming through the stained glass over the hall door without fonoying that it says to me : I know your secret; I've a weak ness for lovers.' That house is to let, or, rather, it was ; it is so no longer, for I have rented it. Don't start and drop thia paper. The house awaits its mistress. I've told the kitchen girl that you will appear Monday morn ing. Now don't say you can't, for I Lave just received a letter from your mother, and the thing is to be. She thinks it decidedly the most sensible plan she has heard of lately. Why should I spend my evenings in a boarding-house for six months longer, when I might toast my toes instead at my ain fireside? The thing is preposterous. I inclose your mother's letter to me, in which you will see that she proposes that I bring you to her next Saturday evening. We can then be quietly mar ried at church after the regular Sanday service, and can start for our own home by the early train Monday morning, whioh will land me at the college in time to attend to my regular classes. I know that your sister very kindly in tended to make a social event of our marriage; but I have a horror of events,' and, besides, I can't waiK She must come with you and see the knot properly tied. I will meet you both at the depot at half-past four Saturday r. m." Th letter from Fan's mother re enferoed the professor's plea, and gave a maternal sanction to the hasty mar riage. Fan ran to her Bister's room, only to ascertain that she had gone out in the carriage, the maid did not know whither. It was Saturday, and half past 3 in the afternoon ; and scribbling a hasty note of explanation, which she left upon her sister's dressing-table, Fan packed a hand-bag and departed. She reached the station a little too early, and Bat in a corner of the waiting-room, enjoying watching the peo ple come and go, trying to imagine their histories, and wondering whether they were going on errands like her own. At last the train trundled in. There was the usual hubbub of em bracing friends, importunate cab drivers, and hurrying travelers. She ea gerly scanned each passenger who emerged from the cars. Her professor had not come. Inexperienced in the ways of travel, she began to be nervous. She still sat in tne corner oi tne Dig i li room, outwardly cairn, dui mwaraiy quaking. A'i old gentleman by hei side, who, like her, had watched the crowd with meditative interest, his stubby chin resting pensively i the horn handle of his umbrella, tm el to her and remarked, "Such a power of people I such a power of people I Nary two on 'em ante ; nary one on em you ever see afore !" At last she stepped to the ticket-of fice and inquired the last train from the college station. Yes, one would be in at 8 o clock, but no train went out after that to Edgecliff, her mother's home. Could she not go out at 9 o'clock to Junction and catch the night express at that point? "Yes, that was pos sible;" and Fan eat down again and waited. The 8 o clock train brought the professor, weary and anxious. He had lost tne earlier tram, and ieared ail would go wrong in consequence. The idea of the express at Junction raised his spirits at once. They set out in high glee, only to be decayed by the heavy drifting storm sufficiently f or their train to reach the junction five minutes after the express had left. Here was a predicament! They stood to gether upon the platform, stranded, upon a stormy Saturday night, in a strange town, the last train left for everywhere, and the station-master locking hiB door for over Sunday. There were no carriages in waiting; and inquiring the way for the nearest par sonage they set out for a tramp to gether through the storm. " Courage, Fan," said the professor; "there is no way out of the mess but to get married as quickly as we can." A meek-eyed minister's wife an swered their summons. Her husband was at home and sick in bed; not so ill, however, bnt she thought he might marry them, though he had been some what delirious during the day. They might follow her into the bedroom; Bhe was sure no license was required. And so the professor in his snow- flecked ulster (Fan thought hysterically of her sister's words, " His presence would give prestige to any occasion ) and Fan in her damp rubber water proof stood together hand in hand by the good man's bedside. Fever had left him a little incoherent. He made the professor promise to obey Fan, and Fan to support the professor, but otherwise they were soundly and sacred ly mar ried, and the minister's wife was made to smile by a crumpled bill of large amount pressed into her thin hand. A telegram announcing the event winged its way to Fan's mother, and a long sleighride of twenty-seven miles across the country carried Fu ihe next day to her new home. But Mrs. Sue Hatha way never, never forgave them theii unceremonious wedding. Harper's Bazar, Redwood. A California writer says that the red wood whioh is in demand there for un derground use is what is known by the lumbermen as black-heart redwood. It shows a dark color when cut with knife, the outer portion only being sea soned. This species of redwood is ex ceedingly heavy too heavy to float, One who has observed schooners load ing along the coast assures the writer that a post of this wood which plunges overboard never rises, and a board lingers on the surface a moment and then slowly slides down into its depths. This is the sort which is sought for in the foundation of buildings, and under brick walls is believed to be imperish able. In this connection it is interest ing to mention a fact concerning tho second growth of redwood. Snoots from old stumps have grown to three and four feet in diameter in forty years This would indicat9 restorative powers in redwood forests which would in sure a future supply of tho timber. FOR THE LADIES. I.ove anil Ualit Heart. I once inquired of a maiden of thirty who was large, healthy and fair to look upon, what kept her so young-looking, for she seemed scarce twenty. She re plied: " Love. I have, besides my mother, brother and sisters, and their families, to love a host of friends and admirers, so thatl have no time to mope and regret I'm not beautiful." And I've often wished married women loved more, for I verily believe if they did they would keep healthy, young and hand some longer than they now do. But the cares and trials of life aie deep and wearing, and we women are so crowded with them that few of us have time for ennobling our lives iu any direction. In fact, we are too tired to even love, un less it is our babies, whose little lives clung so close to our own that they are a part of it; and the songs and kisses they call out of us tend to lighten the daily task, so that the back bends under its burden, instead of breaking. The loving and happy wife and mother is the handsome and healthy one, usu ally. As old age overtakes her she still keeps the lovelight in her eye, for it has become habitual to her, and the world is her family. The husband would find his daily cares lightened if he kept the thrill of affection as of old, and if husband did not forget to be the lover still it would be a better and a happier world. Just imagine the charmed life of the new-married couple, and the effect of such love and life upon the home and children perpetu ally. Smiles bring dimples and roses to the face. Laughter makes work easy, and puts flesh on the bones, and unselfish ness adds a charm to the owner that gold cannot buy or thieves rob you of. Our bodies are the houses our souls live in. and whether it be a palace ox a hovel, depends on ourselves as build era and occupants. Shall we not teach our little ones, then, to build wisely and well to cultivate purity, cheerful ness, generosity, charity and love ? How can we better teach these things than by first setting the glorious example ? Jewell, m California Agricu turist. Fashion Notes. Buff tints are revived. New beiges are striped.

Pettiooats are profusely trimmed with needlework flowers, resembling the needle-wrought bands that border the new nun'a veilings, ginghams and ba tistes. For eecond cloaks, are inexpensive wraps of the English homespun cloths, in dark brown colors, with red threads at intervals, or else of green cloth with mustard yellow threads. In many garments the style is en hanced by having all the trimming placed lengthwise, both in front and back, rather than to ehorten the ap- Eearance of the wearer by a crosswise order of great breadth.

There are thousands of rich men who are not skinflints who have the repu tation of being bo because they have never been known to have done any special good with their money. A man who is worth $50,000 can do more to make himself loved and respected by all with whom he comes in contact, by the judicious expenditure of a thou sand dollars in charity than by giving the whole fifty thousand dollars after he is dead. It seems as though it would be mighty email consolation to a millionaire to leave money to some charitable purpose, after death, and be so dead that he couldn't see the smiles of happiness that his generosity had created. Suppose a millionaire who has never had a kind word said of him except by fawning hypocrites who. hope to get , some of his money, should lay out a beautiful park worth a million dollars, and throw it open free to all, with walks, driveslakes, shade, and every thing. Don't you suppose if he took a drive through it himself and saw thou sands of people having a good time and all looking their lovo and respect for him, that his heart would be warmed np and tbat his day would be lengthened. Wouldn't every look of thanks be worth a thousand dollars to the man who had so much money that it made him round shouldered?
