W E D D IN G .
Rev. D., a Methodist minister sta­
tioned at Meadville, some thirty years
ago. one evening received a note, stat­
ing that a couple living in the suburbs
of the city, desired to be united in the
bonds o f matrimony, and requested his
service at 9 o’ clock the next morning.
At the proper time he went to the
house designated, and entered.
He
inquired o f a young lady who was busy
washing dishes, if there was a couple
there wishing to he maçried.
“ I am
the lady.” she said, blushing ; “ John
will be in in a moment.”
The minis­
ter was surprised to see no preparations
and stepped to the door to view the
surroundings.
Two men were hard at
work grinding sythes in the yard, and
another, who proved to be John, was
tendiug a cow and calf in the barnyard.
The young lady came to the door pretty
soon, and shouted, " John, John, hurry
up, the preacher is here 1 ”
John
leaped the fence and rushed to the
house, the girl wiped her hands on her
apron, and after joining hands said they
Were ready.
The minister proceeded,
and had just got through questioning
the young man, when the old lady
rushed into the room, shouting, " John,
John, you didn’ t turn the cow away
from that calf.” John let go his sweet­
heart’s hand instantly, and rushed to
the barnyard, put the cow through the
bars and returned to the house, and
to k his position, when the balance o f
the ceremony was gone through with.
The minister went on his way ; John

Through many ages has man been
the acknowledged seducer o f woman,
the fact has been overlooked and for­
given that woman is often the seducer
o f man.
I know such a woman— a
woman o f fa>hion— allied to a man in
high position. She is a woman o f large
personal and mental magnetism.
For
what good purpose does she use it ? ”
She used to M attract ” men Irom their
allegiance to duty, honor and pure
love !
She boasted in a drawing room
that she “ never saw a married man
whose love she could not win from his
wife, i f she chose.” " My dear hus­
band,” said a fond little woman, “ you
could not, nobody could take him from
me.” “ The little simpleton,” declared
Lamia afterwards. “ In less than six
months she came to me crying, begging
me to give her husband back to her;
said he neglected her, that he up
braided her constantly because she was
not more like me. " I don’t want your
husband,” I said, “ I only wanted to
show you that I could do what I
pleased, and to teach you not to ttust
to any man’ s love. There is many a
Lamia.
She stands the central figure
o f many social circles. In silken attire,
luxurious home, surrounded by all al­
luring accessories o f wealth and cul­
tivation, herself fascinating, if not
beautiful, what wonder that she draws
within her charmed sphere the many
homeless, wifeless, dissatisfied men o f
her acquaintance?
The power o f a
woman thus surrounded cannot he es­
timated.

A newly wedded couple repaired to the
depot in Baltimore, the other day, for
the purpose o f taking passage North­
ward. Just as they were about to en­
ter the cars a boy stepped up to the
bridegroom, held out his band, saying:
“ Papa, give me a cent before you go
away.”
The bridegroom looked e x ­
tremely surprised and foolish— the
bride red and indignant. The husband
finally tnana^ed to say to the child,
" G o aw ay; I ’ m not your fa th e r !”
The little fellow, however, asserted that
such was the case, and stoutly insisted
on being presented with a penny. The
wife’s jealousy was thoroughly aroused,
and a “ scene ” was im m inent; when
a gentleman stepped forward and as­
sured the couple that the child was in
the habit o f importuning young gentle­
men with ladies on their arms in the
identical language quoted above. This
made matters pleasant at once, and the
young couple proceeded rejoicingly on
their way.

Regular false calves are manufac­
tured and sold in extensive demand—
the said calves being composed o f
lambs’ and other wool, and being woven
into the material o f merino leggings,
just like a pair o f masculine drawers;
sometimes bran is used, and in all cases
the imitation is very artistic and per­
fect. In England, good false calves
can be procured for about thirty shil-
lines ; and in New York a good article
can be procured for from seven to eight
dollars, warranted to look in every re­
spect like a natural limb, and often
times much better. A t one theater in
