The Bridal Wine Cup
'Pledge with wine—pledge with wine,'
cried the young and thoughtless liar
vy wood; 'pledge with wine,' ran through
the bridal party,
The beautiful bride grew pale—tire deci
sive hour had come. She pressed her white
hands together, and the leaves of the wreath
trembled on her brow—her breath came
quicker, and her heart beat wilder.
'Yes, Marion, lay aside your scruples for
once,' said the Judge, in a low tone, going
towards his daughter.
Pouring a brimming cup, they held it with
tempting smiles toward Marion.
She was very pale, though more composed;
and her hand shook not as smiling back she
gracefully accepted the chrystal tempter and
raised it to her lips. But scarcely had she
done so when she gave forth an exclamation
Of, 'Oh ! how terrible l'
'What is 'it?' cried one and all.
'Wait,' she answered, 'wait and r will tell
you. I see,' she added, pointing at the spark

description ; and yet listen—l will paint it
for you if I can. It is a lovely spot; tall
mountains crowned with verdure rise in aw
ful sublimity around ; a river runs through
rind bright flowers grow to the water's edge.
There is a thick. warm mist, that the sun
seeks vainly to pierce. Trees wave to the
.airy motion of the birds, but there a group
Aof Indians gather; they flit to and fro, with
something like sorrow on their brows. And
in the midst lies a manly form—but his cheek
bow deathly, his eye wild with the fitful fe
ver. One friend stands besides him—nay,
kneels, for he is pillowing that poor bead
upon his breast.
Genius in ruins—oh I the high, holy look

his only sister—.the twin of his soul— weep

See! his alms are lifted to heaven—he
prays lcudly for mercy ! hot fever rashes
through his veins; the friend beside him is
tveeping; awestricken, the dark men move
silently away, and leave the living r-''

A Cunning sleeper•
• The following very adroit trick was recent
ly played in one of the public Inns in ling
land:
A gentleman, g,enteely dressed. walked in
ani___prefessed to_be_tired_llavino taken_re,
frcabments, he said he would like a nap far an
hour. To sleep he went and in a very busi
ness-like way, in a chair, and a long nap he
a. 'eared to enjoy. Before it expired, the
usual smo. e•pipe company began to Top in
and among the rest two strangers Made their
— appearance. One of thecompany remark — ed
that it was unpleasant to have-a man sleep
ing in a public room with valuable property
about him, such as the sleeper, who had a
fine looking gold guard chain displayed on
ba—wa.i.tcoat,_and_a_p p uctedwith
cte
_a_vvateli_in_one of his_pockets. To this re
mark one of stranvers re lied:
Toolirthat's no zerPlinnan, I'm =a rc;he's

' Suiting the action to the word, the strang
eoftly drew from-the sleeping, man's-pock-
5i7,3 of a watch
thought so,' said he; 'there's a pretty
watch for you,' holding it up so that the com
pany might see it, and 'then returned it to
the ownerls pocket.
By au rby the sleeper awoke, and called
bti , lsly for El glas?, of brn:l4 and water. He

'Why, said the gentleman, 'the fact is I
had a drop too much last night, and forgot
to wind up my watch.'
'Just so!' ejlculated the sensor, 'you, for
got to wind it up? You'd be puzzled to 'do
that; I should say, wouldn't you now?'
''Well, sir, you seem to take more notice of
such a trifle than there is any call for, but
the truth is, I have not a watchkey about me,
and mine is rather a peculiar watch!
Here a burst of laughter ensued, and a
number of jokes were passed about the pc•
cular style of the watch. At last one of the
company boldly told him that ho had no
watch at all about him, whereupon the amaz
ed individual hastily clapped his to his
waistcoat pocket, having previously declar
ed that, unless the watch , had been stolen
since he had been in the room, he had one.
Satisfied, apparently, by the external applica
tion to his pocket, he said:
'lt's all right, my watch is heas.l
thought you had been playing a trick with
me.'
but you five pounds you have no
watch,' bawled out one
him
his tormentors.—
Another offered to bet him ten pounds i and
one of the strangers said ho hadn't five, but
there were two sovereigns which he would
like to double by betting in the same way.
The awakened sleeper, lo)king at them in
astonishment, asked if they were serieuq:
They all stuck to - it that he had no watch,
and then be took out his purse and produced
five and ton pound notes to the amount of
the bets offered. , The stakes were posted,
and then the thoroughly awakened sleeper
coolly pulled out the piece of wood, at which
a hoarse laugh arose again. The laughter
was soon on the other side, touching the
spring in the bit of wood, it flew open and
disclosed a very handsome gold watch very
snugly encased within it.
The gentleman gave a very plausible rea
son for preferring so odd-looking a case for a
watch, with which ,his dupes night either
feel satisfied or not. fie had.received their
money to the extent of £4O, and they had
bought their knowledge of .the time of day.'

but-which will bear repetition.—lie says :
Many years ago there lives a young man
who took it into Ms heail l that like, John Ilan•,

like John, he did not know exactly the tribe
to which his fore-fathers belonged. The i
dea was a perfect monomania with him, not
withstanding the efforts made by his friends
to convince hilt of the folly of, his prcten
sione, to say nothing of the absurdity of
them, even if they could be established.—
The favorite notion, however, could not be
eradicated from his mind, and he promised
his friends that he would one day convince
them that he was right. ,

reu ALLEY.-A correspondent of
the St. Louis Republican writes as_fullarr
ih regard to the Kansi.s vanes:
'Leaving the State Line for the West, en
tered at once the fertile valley of the Kan
sas river. 'For a distance of two hundred
and thirty miles we ran through the valley
of the Kansas and the Smoky Hill, every
mile of which was through lands inexhaus•
tibly rich in deep soil, which under ordina•
ry culture, would yield the largest returns
to the hands of the husbandman. Appar
ently these valley lvds aro as rich as the
famous lands of the American bottom. Like
the latter, the Kansas lands of which I speak
are a level plain, flanked on the north and
south by bdantiful sloping bills, the entire
valley covered with luxuriant verdure.'
'lt is through this valley, never once for
saking it, that the Union Pacific railroad
rune for the distance I have named, encoun
tering nowhere any engineering difnculty,
and nowhere being subjected to the expense
of deep ruts or fills. It seems as though na
ture had designed the valley for the en
couragement of those undertaking to initiate
the gigantic enterprise of spanning the con
tinent with a railroad.'

Itlen seem ashamed of labor, and often you
will find who have made themselves respect
ed by labor, have built a fortune, who turn
to their sons and soy : 'You shall never do
as I did ; you shall lead a different life; you
shall be spared all this.' Oh, these rich
men's sons. They aim to lead a life of Tmas
culated idleness. Like the polyp that flats
useless and nasty upon the sea; all jelly, all
flabby, no muscle, nO hone•—it shuts and
opens, and opens and shuts, and sucks in and
squirts out again, of no earthly account, in,
.tuenee'or — lifet'Slich are these poor fools.
Their parents toiled and grew strong, and
built up their forms of iron and bone; but
denying Ohl to their sons,•thcy turn them
upon the world boneless, museieless, sim , '
gristle, and soft at that.' .

set a false view of marriage—looking to an
appearance in the world, Instead of a 'union
with a loving wonno for her own sake
There are very few men ofindustrious habits

great evil is they are' not wining to•begin life

Alniot and Altogether.
Once as two ladies were conversing in their
quiet parlor, an aged clergyman entered.—
The conveys ion ion immediately took a relig..
ions turn, and the peace and Christian hope
were spoken 'of. Suddenly the clergyman
turned to one of his friends and said rather
abruptly:
•Madam, is your husbacd a Christian ?
The lady's race flushed painfully For a
moment she hesitated, and then said:
_
'llp lita.bandis_one_of-the-hest—persons—l.
ever knew. He is so amiable and benevolent
that I think few Christians can equal him.',
'And yet,' said the clergyman, 'you must
feel deeply anxious for his salvation.'
'I don't know,'-rraid the lady; 'I can not
but think that-all will be well with
lie is so gooil. Ile has such a respect fur
ic
ligiou. lie is almost a Christian!
The clergyman bent upon her a look of
But almost saved is altogether lost. .11e
member that.'
The words smote her with a sudden con•
viction of - her husband's danger, and from
that time forth her prayers fur him were eon
staat and fervent.--S. S. Tinzes.
