~ ! ‘THA IVORTIIY...POOR.I!
A dog of morale, firm and sure,
Went out to seek the "worthy poor. -
"Dear things !" she said-, "I". 1 find them out,
And end theii.Wdes, without a doubt."
She wandered east; she wandered west,
And many dogs ber vission blest,—
Some Well to-do, some rich indeed, -
And'some—al 1 very much in need. ,
•
So poor they.were I—withoUt a, bone.
Battered and footsore, sad and lone.;
No.friends, no help. "What lives they've led,
To come to this 1" our doggie -said.
"1.• ought not give W them ;I'm sure
They cannot be the worthipoor.
They must have fought or been disgraced ;
My charity must be well placed." • "
"Some dogs she found, quite to her mind';
So thrifty they—so sleek and kind I.
Ali me !". she said, "were they ib need,
To 14elp - them would he, joy. indeed."
'.Tomas still the same, day in, day out—,
The.poorest dogs were poor, no doubt ;
But they were neither clean nor wise;
As she could•see with half her eyes. •
'Tie strange what faults come out to view
.When tolks - nre poor. She said : 'Tie true
They need, some help ; but as for me,
1 most not waste my charity."
,
Bo home she went, and droPped a tear.
"rve done my duty, that is clear.
I've searched and searched the village round ;
And not one `worthy poor' I've found."
,
And all this, while, the sick, and lame
And hungry suffered all the same, •
They were not pleasant, were not neat—
B'ut she had more than she could eat !
Arid don't you think it was 4:sin ?
Was hera the right way to begin ? -
'No, no it was -not - right, I'm sure. -
For she was riCh and they were poor.
Oye who have enough to spare ! • '
Te suffering give your ready. care :
Waste not your charitable.mood
Only, in out the good. • ,
For on the whale, though it is right
To keep the "worthy poor" in sight,
This world would run with scarce a hitch
If all could find the worthy . rich.
—Mary Maples Dodge.
BOW TO BE MARRIED IN STYLE:
The old time funny for distributing wedding .
lavors is again in vogue ; directly aito the
ceremony and while :the newly wedde.d pair
with the more immediate relatives, are singing
the tegister, the bridesmaids dispense them.
The gifts designed for the lady guests consist
of small , bOws of white satin ribbon tying little
sprigs ofjessimine ; those of the gentleman area
spray of oak leaves and acorns without ribbon,
while the bridesmaids' favors have 'some dis
tinctive mark, such as a spray of forget-me not.
Their boquets are the gilt ot.the bridegrom
and axe sent before - the
,ceremony with the ,
lOcket or other souvenir, which he presents
them. 'He also furnishes the ,bride with her
lowers for the occasion. •
When the service t takes place in , church
the ceremony is generally performed en
tirely at the Communion rails ; but in High
churches the actual ceremony, in England par
ticularly, takes place in the' body of thelchurch,
and the bridal party, preceded' by the officiat
big clergy, moves on into the chancel for the
subsequent portion of the service. - All ar
' rangements as "to fees,. &c., are confided , to the
. best man ; while the chief bridesmaid's duty is
to take the. bride's bouquet and -gloves when
the service begins.
The - interval between the arrival of the guests
at the house and:the •breakfastis'gener.ally ern
ployed in an inspection of the - wedding prey
cuts, which are spreiul out foi examination on
a variety of tables—one for plate c'h'id another
for jewelry, one for china, one for lass orna
ments,'&e., each_ gift;' being accomPlinied by a
slip of paper, bearing the name of the donor.
Wedding breakfasts are now often arranged
on the plan of ,a long buffet, where the major
ity of the company take their 'lunch standing,
the tables being appropriated to the relatives of
the bridegmom and the - principal guests. Fre
quently, hOWever, the custom of , a sitting-down
breakfast is. adhered to, and if-Atere is a wedr
ding cake it is placed in the centre of the table
and the bride and bridegroork take 'places op
posite-to it. In the former plan . the 'cage is
placed,in the centre ot the buffet. When break
' -fast is - announced; the' - bride and bridegroom
lead 'the way to the' dining-room; the bride'e
- fitlitr
_follows with the bridegroom's mother;
• and seats himself , next to his daughter; the .
'bridegroom's father - comes next with the bride's
mother, =a:place&her beside the bridegroom.
Very frevently,the bridesmaids all sit opposite
to the .iii44*inpanie.d by the , gentleman
- who hsyeti4;AiVred by the hostess to take
ytheal4own—the; best, man invariably taking
the chief bridesmaids! Speeches are now con
'fined—when there areiany at all—to the health
of .the bride and, bridegroom, propesed few
werda—the ieWer the`better—by the gentlemin
of the highest rank present. The bridegroom
is returning -thanks s . ometimea Proposes the
health of the bridesmaids, for whom the best
• man briefly responds: There sluitild be no other
• toasts, and even, these, may well be dispensed
with. The bride puts a knife into the cake=
'which has been cut before the drinking of, the
heaths and it is expected that every one will
eat asniall piece for good "luck.r •
, . yhen thebride comes into:the drawing-r Com
in her traveling dress,
t,o say good-bye, white
satin' ' slippers and ri ce are thrciwn, the best
man and bridesmaid dispensing the
. tcrrner,
while .the latter is showered .upon the depart.
lug pair e,xclnsively by matrons. The" fashion
of sending - cards and cake has gone entirely
out of style. "
When aivido'w marries I the wedding_differs
several points: There , are ' neither brides
nor favors And the lady is debarred wear.
log white, a bridal yell or .orange flowers ,i
deed she mud wear a bounet,aecording to Bug

lish etiquette. If a'young lady, however, rhar
, ries a widower, there is no difference made be
tween the arrangements for her wedding and
those described. • . ' • s
THE ART OF PLEASING.
The art of making a party go off successfully i s
is by no means an easy accomplishment. Some 1 =
have the happy knack of setting their guestivat
ease at once, and making them pleased both
with, themselves and each other.; whilst again
many well-meaning 'and extremely, kind heart
ed people have a habit of putting on an
straining company manner, most unfortutiatte
in its effect on those Whom they are anxious to
Please. Guests are always influenced by their
hostess ; and if she is not at her ease, they
cannot be so either--Ainless, as is sometimes
the case, there happens to be an irrepressible
spirit amongst them 'who dares to be sociable
and merry, and makes others so too, in spite of
company manners and unnatural restraint. To
be pbrfectly natural is to be well bred ; and,
contradictory as it may seem,. I quite believe
that a natural manner may be cultivated just
as well as an artificial one. Affectation and
seltconsciousne.sa are always displeising, and,
unfortunately, they prevent most estima
ble persons
_being appreciated as from their
maiiY good qualities they deserve.to be. Uwe
look around us, and note, who are . the most
popular of our acquaintances, we . shall find
tnat'itls rarely the handsomest, the cleverest
or most accomplished, but inveriably those who
have : the happy talent of being able to forget
themselves. These might be endowed with
fairi wands, so, manifold , are their- powera of
'charming— They make the silent talk, the
graie merry, and those 'weighed down with
sorrow put away their grief. Such sre ever
welcome, for by their ready sympathy they can,
adapt themselves to any- society ;1 and in the
art of entertaining others they are Simply per
fection, for they, make that friends fed that
they have really come out, to enjoy theinmlves,
and not merely for the ; sake of fulfilling at irk
some social duty.
USING THE WRONG WORD.
People often use the wrong word in igror
mice ; an example is the use of depot for nal
tiou. The latter is not only the proper Erg,-'
lisp word, it is Also the world's word, So at
one time, they said saloon, supposing this wad
to describe something more 'sumptous than a
parlor. Happily the word saloon went to the
bad. In other cases there is a fairly good rea
son for using the wrong word. People generally
know that a cent is not a penny ; and yet.'the
euphony reason for saying penny when a cent
is meant fairly justifies common usage ; cent is"
abrupt_and unpleasant in sound. We say.
Indians, meaning Americans and knowing that
our predecessors on this continent are not Ind i
ans at all, and that calling them the American
Indians, only makes the matter worse. Our
reason is that we wish to be'onrisidered Ameri
cans ourselves. bo, also, the people of the
United States are' called Americas abroad,
thOugh, they have no exclusive right to the
title—but what can they call us in one word ?
:The pronoun we helps ,us out partly, but.we
are still in want of a name.
THE MYSTERY OF DREiMS.
It is related that a man tell asleep as the
clock struck the first stroke of twelve. He
awakened ete the echo of. the twelfth stroke of
twelve had died away, 'having in thelnterVal
dreamed that he had, committed a crime, was
detected, alter fivesears, -tried and condemed ;
the shock of finding the halter around his neck
aroused him to consciousness, when he discov
ered-that all these events had hammed in'an
infinitesimal fragment of time. 'Mohammed
wishing to illustrate the wonders of sleep, told
how a,certain man, being a sheik, fbund him
_self for his pride, made a poor fisherman . ; that
he lived as one for. 81.14 years, bringing up . a
family And working hard, and how., upon wak
ing,up from his long - dream, so short a time
had he been imieep that the narrow necked
gourd bottle filled with water, which• he knew
lie overturned as he fell asleep,- had not time to
empty itself. Ho* fast the soul travels when
the body is asleep ! (Awn, when -.we awake, we
shrink from going back to the dull routine of
sordid existence, regretting the pleasanter life
of dreamland. HOW is it that sometimes when
we go to 'a strange ' place, we fancy we have
seen ltbefore ? Is it possible that when one
. has' been asleep the soul has floated away, seen
the place and. has that memory, of it whicli.so
surprises us ? In .a word, how far dual is ;the
life of man, how far not ? '

7 THE LESSON OF. A SZIEEiER.
As a rule a , ..sneeze is.. the warning. nature
gives that some part of the body is expOsed to
ecooler temperature . than the other that
the sneezer is "catching cold." Next to the
warning, what is ,the use of the sneeze ? It
throws open thapores of •the whole body, and
induces a gentle perspiration ;• in a word it
throwa our the cold. A chil4.,rarely , sneezes
more than twice---perspration readily in
duced-in a youth ; . au Will man, to a dozen
times with'a loud "catchogne . ,' It is harder to
set - him perspiring. When one is sitting by an
open winddw, and finds himself eneezing, na
ture tells him he is taking cold. lie should
get up instantly, walk about, and take . a full
tumbler of cold water tp keep up the perspira
tion that the sneeze set in motion; tf he does
this, he will not be telling, in hour after, that
he has a "cold in his head," or chest or. lungs.

VEGETINE.
ILE SAYS IT IS TRUE.
MR. R. H. STEVENS :r
• Dear Sir:—As you, ere an entire stranger to me, I
want you to know what VEGE'LTNE has done for me.
Only those who have been raised from death's door can
know the value of such a good medicine. lam 581 ears
of age, Three years ago I was ttiken sick with what
the doctora called Lumbago. For weeks r was confined
to my.bed. I had three different physicians, without
any help. I raceived no relief ; I was a great sufferer ;
finally I became entirely helpless,. The last doctor told
me there was no help ; he said he might possibly save
my life by ejecting. morphene ,in my arms and leas.—
The encouragement for saving my life by having this
done was so small a chance I could not consent to run
the risk. Abcut this time my sou read your advertise
ment in our paper, a testimory of a person. who had
been very sick with about the same complaint, and
was cured. Myson went right away to the apothecary
store and bought a bottle of VEGETINE. Before' I
used the first Bottle I found - great relief ;.I could move
myself in bed. After taking three, bottles I was able
to sit up and move about my rodm. I continued taking
fhe Vegetine, and 1 was in a few weeks restored to try
ormer health. The VEGRTINE saved my life atter
the physicians said there was no help forme. I have
had no doctor since. If I feel unwell I take a dose of
VEGETINE. and I recommend it to my friends.
Your Vegetine ought to be in every family. My doc
tor was surprised to see me in good health; He says
VEGETINE is a goed medicine. I tell him it cured
me, lie says. "It is true." I cannot feel too thank
ful Ve.ry gratefully yours,
