not think it an unalloyed joy to suffer
the insinuating impertinences o f curi
ous strangers under tho p lca o f sym-

sinuations of tho bevies o f susceptible
young misses, exhibited in hotel par
lors, as a sort of marriago mart, entire
ly tolerable to a young bride no matter
how overpowering her trOI1Sseau.
I t is the horror of this magpie chat
tering o f the coquette squadrons that
has brought the old wedding tour into
disuse. N o woman hut enjoys the ad
m iring glances and silent devotion that
nkind pays to beautv, particularly
at this interesting epoch of her life ;
but there aro fow women that can bear
up under tho punic admiration o f ri
vals, in the guise o f disciples. I t is not
until later in life that the bride feels
lik e imparting th0 delicious details
o f courtship—-what lie said and how
ho said it. Nor is the first intoxicating
jo y of hope fulfilled the moment when
a tender bride cares to share with her
sox tho amount o f her trousseau, tho
cost o f her jowols, papa's present, or
the contributions of tho fam ily and
friends. Tho bride of the present,
backed b y rocent judicial declarations,
says in substance; “ I don’t proposo to
make au exhibition o f myself. W hen
the llov. Mr. Swearcm asks me to love,
honor and obey, 1 shall substitute
cherish for that odious word.” I t is
true that such conduct may at first
scandalize tho fogies, and that the
groom may not justify tho expectations
o f tho assembly by preserving tire fun
eral gravity usual to such occasions.
T h e bridal-tour sho regards as a vulgar
concession to an imbecilo custom, with
which she w ill have no more to do, and
that there is no more reason why two
modest pcoplo united in wedlock should
set out to make nn exhibition o f them
selves than that tho fond parents should
carry tho first horn to some publio place
to display its linen and silver-spoon.
T o the women, marriage is a sacrament,
and it is desecrated by sharing its fresh
joys with a wicked and incredulous
world.
A s it is the condition o f all men to
bo married sooner or later, unless ce
libacy be put upon thorn for their sins
o f vanity and obstinacy, it is just as
w ell that tbis new departure from tho
honeymoon should bo accepted at once.
N o r is it lik ely the average lover w ill
resist the edict. The happy lover will
relinquish tho parade of his happiness
w ith alacrity. H e sympathizes, on sen
timental grounds at least, w ith tho ile-
siro of his charmer, to avoid the odious
ordoal o f tho resorts where tho men aro
all gamblers and tho women all fash
ion-plates. Instead, ho w ill go w illin g
to somo forest of Arden, whore his wife
shall bo the Rosalind o f the sylvan
scene and tho world shall bo only a

Look at Yonr Thumbs.
I f anybody will look carefully at toa
end of hiB thumb lie will find that the
surface is ridged with little thread-like
ranges of hills, wound round and round
in tiny spirals. I f he will take a magni
fying glass and examine them closely,
ho will find tbnt there is a good deal of
individuality in the way in which these
aro arranged. No two thumbs in all the
world are exactly alike. The miniature
mountain rouges ureas fixed aud decided
as the Alps or tho Sierras, the geogra
of tile ton
thumb ns nnmistakable. Now
the Chinese have mode uso of this fact
tor establishing a rogue's gallery.
Whenever a criminal is examined by tho
law, an impression is taken of his thumb.
Smeared with a little lampblack, par
tially wiped, and then pressed down on
a piece of pajior, an engraving of the
thumb is made, and kept in the police
records.
I t serves just tho same pnrposo which
is served by our photographing our
burglars and jiickpocket*. The accused
can 1)0 identified with great certainty.
Nothing short of mutilating nr burning
tho thumb can obliterate its featuros.
Sometimes a ghastly proof of guilt is
furnished. A murderer, red-handed with
his crime, may touch his ringer’s end
U|wn a white wall, anil so leave in the
color of his guilt a photograph on the
accusing wall. His signature is left,
jnst a s unmistakable as if he had signed
the bond of his iniquity; and thns
great crimes have been lirongnt to light,
aud deeds of blood made to tell their
own story.
But this individuality in tho skin of
the tip of the thaul., strongly marked
as it is, yet adm it* of strong fam ily like
ness:
Brothers and sisters who will
take impressions ot their thumbs will
find resemblances among each other that
they will not find when comparing them
with tbe thuml>s of strangers. Even
thus minutely docs that strange thing,
family likeness, descend. What wonder
is it that faces look alike, voices sound
alike; how can it seem strange that
memiiera of the same family should have
diajioaitions and similarities of temper,
of mental aptitudes and hereditary dis
eases, when such minor peculiarities as
the texture at the end of the thumb, and
its ranges of billa, should also have fam
ily resemblance* in the midst of their
indefinite diversities?

A Sniffy Snoozer.
A conversation between
a strict
orthodox Chicago man and a youth
lately graduated from tho struight-laoed
| Alm a M ater o f Obcrlin.
“ W ell, ou the whole, can you say yon
enjoyed the curriculum o f O b orlia?”
| inquired the Chicago man.
“ W ell, I should stoop to accumulate,"
replied the youth, bitin g o ff the seed
end o f a w ell proportioned cigar, and
scratching a match on the quarter deck
o f his anatomy, “ he had some snifty old
proffs there, bet your sweet life. P ro f.
Sw itzer could jerk a prayer out of him
a yard long, and the snifty way the old
snoozer used to exhort the old brigade
to keep their feet from the paths o f
evil, and their tongues from evil speak
ing, was enough to givo a man tho fan
dods.”
The Chicago man sighed and began
to r.
id tho youth in the ligh t o f ft
natural curiosity.
“ “ W ere the young men o f yrmr c la n
prom pt to tho chapel service ?”
“ W ell, you can speculate on that way
up to tho top margin, i t didn’t do no
good to hang back or throw a wink over
your shoulder. I t was w nlk up to tho
dough dish or tnko tho g. b. P ro f.
W iggin s was a snifty chinricr at tho
music box, too. The rum old hymns ho
would blow o ff to tho clatter o f the
organ would make us i l l wish he would
set down and give the air a chance. H e
was a h oly terror at the music pump.”
“ I gather that they are very strict at
the U n iversity.”
“ S tric t!
Glims doused at taps,
same as the regular army, and a boy
caught anyway s lushy was jammed into a
sweat-box.”
“ A sweat b o x !”
“ Yes, locked up in liis room fo r re

water, with the revised edition for
desert and a Greek grammar for change

That's tho

“ Had it up his no..“ ?”
“ W as fu ll— ”
“ F u ll? ”
“ Yes, swizzled with slioep dip and

“ I don’t think that —1— think that I

“ Drunk as a scrambled o w l; ever see

“ D ru nk ?”
“ O, no, the theological boys used to

Jefferson and liis Violin.
Mrs. Martha Skelton was rich, accom
plished, beautiful, and a widow whose
age included but twenty-three years.
O f course, sho hud many admirers
among tho young Virginians of her day.
One o f them was “ T om ” Jefferson, then
a young lawyer, esteemed for his tal
ents, b ut by no means remarkable for
the grace o f his person or tho beauty of
his face.
“ Tom ’s” accomplishments
were a persuasive manner, and ability
to sing a song and play on tho violin.
The W id ow Skelton enjoyed her free
dom, and tho attentions of her ndmir-
,ers.
S everal o f them entertained
“ hopes” but her manner expressed no
such preference as satisfied their ardent
desires. One day, tw o.of her suitors,
bent on learning their fate from her
own lips, met in tho hall of her house.
Tho sound o f music caused them to lis
ten. T h e widow was playing on tho
harpsichord and singing a love song,
while Jefferson accompanied hor with
voice and violin.
Som ething in tho song, and the man
ner of her singing, showed them that
“ no” would lie her answer, if thoy press
ed their suit. Quietly leaving tne hall,
they mounted their horses nni1
. rode
away, sadder but wiser men. In a week
or tw o the engagement of Mrs. Martha
Skelton to Thomas Jefferson was among
tho rumors o f the day.
Jefferson was always fond of the vio
lin.
W hen his paternal homo was
burned, he asked: “ A re all tho books

“ Yes. massa, dev is,” answered the

ter’s ]>ot vanity; “ lint we saved do

An old and respected citizen in a

node too free use of the bottle, which
lie committee informed him was incon-
istent with the character o f a good

The old gentleman stoutly
leuied tho accusation, and insisted
iiat the committee should go with him
u tho postoflice, a.* he waa snre that

nastor, with whom he had been
ong intimate, would exonerate him
rom the charge. Accordingly, accom-

lie following conversation was had ;
“ Captain,” says he, “ you have known
ne for a long; time ? ”
“ Yes,” said the Captain ; “ nigh on to
hirty years.”
“ W ell, Captain, I think I can sav
hat during all that time I have hardly
ver taken a drink that you have not

“ That is about correct,” said the
Japtain.
“ Now, Captain, I want you to tell these
gentlemen if, iu all that time, you evnt
. w me when you thought I hod more
lian I could carry.”
“ W all,” said the Captain, “ I don’t

Men and wi men, and especially young

their opposites iu tem)ier and general

ally a good one. They do it instinct- .
ivoly.
The young man does not say,
“ M y black eyes require to be wed
with blue, and my overvehemonee ro-
juires to be a little modified with
tomowhat of lullness aud reserve.’1
When these opposites come together
o be wed, they do not know it, but
soh thinks the other just like him-
.elf.
Old people never marry their
ipposites ; tuey marry tin ir similars aud
rom calculation. Each of these two
irrangcmeuts ia very proper. In their
ong journey, theso young opjiosites
will fall out by the way a great many
times, and both will charm the other

agreed as to the jilaee they will go to,
and the road they will go by, and be
