rHKOUESON STATESMAN: FUIDAY DECEMHKR 17. 1886. THE MI OWUMriAN miXENNIUM. When foes shall meet on battlefields, and he whose cause in fight miscarries Shall be promoted to the lead of hie triumphant adversaries; . Wheo he who wins hit sweetheart hastens to tarn her over to his rival, - And leaves the maid to mourn forlorn the cu rious lack of love's survival; When Catholics to Protestants the charge oi Peter's keys have giveu. And Methodist for Mormons hold the very choicest teats iu heaven ; When men who cast their nets for fish shall haul them iu that they may feed them, And those who raise fat cattle for the cattle's good alone shall breed them; When sellers daily (jive to buyers all the best of busiuess ehauces. And never (nil to lower prices when the worth of goods advances; -When lawyers beg to pay their clients for the privilege of pleading, And doctors nevei charge a cent for any blister ing or bleeding: When landlords nay tneir tenants for the houses that they till so kindly. And in on whose eyes are good and strong pre fer to close them and walk blindly: When weak and brainless fellows take the place of the strong aud nervy. And when, iu fact, this solid earth of ours is all turned topsv turvy, , Then will the world be fitted to receive the geat Mugwumpian system, Which gives the oltices to those who iu th' elec tion fight have missed 'em. Somewhat Unconventional. "One of the most highly novel marriage ceremonies which I ever performed when I was a parson," saiil a well-known Den verite the otlier day, "was that in which a wealthy Dutchman and his buxom bride were the participants. I performed the ceremony in the middle of the coun try road on one of the coldest days that ever blew in the good old State of Penn sylvania. ' Queer place for a wedding, wasn't it? Queer place for a bride, and tjueerer, too, l hat her attire consisted of nothing but her underclothes and a buf falo robe. The regulation society report er of the present day wouldn't have had much to do at that -wedding. The most vivid imagination couldn't have portray ed the bride in white silk and orange flowers, and it couldn't even have been said of the bridegroom that he wore the conventional black. There wern't any refreshments served, and I have al ready told you enough about the bride so that you may well imagine there were no decorations. In fact, had society report ers flourished in that remote region of Pennsylvania in that rather distant pe riod, I think they might have 'soldiered' all day long, notwithstanding the fact that one of the most highly novel wed dings of the season was going on right there in the middle of the road "More than twenty years have passed since that day, but I shall never forget the little scene which was then impress ed so vividly upon my mind. "At that time I was a young parson in the first flush of early experience and en thusiastic to a degree which von will ap preciate presently when I tell you how recklessly I performed that marriage cer emony. I had a way of dashing into such ceremonies when asked to perform them, no matter who was opposed to it, or what stood in the way. It was one of my ec centricities. I used to have a theory in my young days to the effect that whoever wanted to get married should not be de barred the privilege. I am not quite bo firm on that point now as I was twenty years ago, but that is neither here nor there. Experience has taught me a great deal more about life than I knew then ; but if 1 had been more experienced at that time those two loving souls might never have beaten as one, and you, my dear fellow, might, otherwise never have listened to this littie tale which I see you are preparing to swallow so greedily. I regret to say that that rash marriage cer emony, performed on the very Impulse of the mornent, separated a father and daughter for life, but as the marriage turned out happily in all other respects, I do not know as there is any particular pension for remorse on my part. '""It wU a bright morning in January, one of those cold, deaf-CUt day? when the world, particularly in the country, seemS like a huge, sparkling crystal. The sun, nhime brightly and Uie earth sparkled as u n, were covered wun diamonds, aii the trees, and fences were covered with -P.Ow, some of which hung in the most fanciful forms. The roofs of the long, low farm-houses looked as if they were thatched with crystals; the great hay ricks stood out upon the face of the land scape like miniature pyramids turned white. Here and there the natural coior of the evergreen broke through a white rift, the effect beinc rich and beautiful. In the eaves of the old red barns along the road wee brown snow birds twittered cheerily, and from the distant woods ftume the merry sound of ringing axes, ylied by thosS hardy sons of toil among whom I dwelt. 4'This is the way things looked and Bounded to me that bright, clear winter morning as I dashed along in my smart little sleigh maffied in furs to tne cinn, and skimmed along the country roatl, ra pliant in the possession of youth and health, and that exhilaration which cod weather always brings to tue young ana hopeful. "I had iust turned out of a long lane, and now came in sight of a small frame dwelling where lived a well-to-do Penn sylvania Dutchman of the name of Kchmitt. Schmitt was a positive old Dutchman as phlegmatic as any Holland er : broad and stout, red-faced and round a man of intensely Dutch proclivities and more given to practical notions ot nog minimr than to tiie dreamv visions of love as you will presently see. wen, as i came into sight of old Schmitt's house, perhaps a hundred yards away, what should attract my gaze at one of those quaint, low windows in the upper story, but the plump form of Sliria, fcebmitt's daughter, attired only in a linsey-woolsey petticoat, and a bngtit red nannei miner- waist, in the very act of jumping into the deep snow which lay in the door-yard be neath the windows, me ouxom gin lighted in the deep, soft snow entirely un hurt, and in another inatanta young man, who sat in a bright red sleigh just outside the fence, holdingapairofspirited horses, bad nulled her over the fence, into the sleigh and under his biihalo rote with one adroit motion, as clever as anything I ever saw in my life. I had known Mina Kcbinitt and her lover, Dan Yokum, ever since thev were children. I bad long known of "the stubborn old Dutchman's (Schmitt's) refusal to allow them to marry, and I now saw clearly that the hour had come. Dan and Mina had taken things into their own hands. They had resolv- ed to marry or die, and I resolved then and there that I would help them to carry out the former and more preferable scheme. "Licenses to wed were not necessary in Pennsylvania in those days, so nothing was lacking to complete the arrangements. In our own hands we held the elements of matrimony a lover, a loveress, as the children say, aud a ; parson. I sat quite still m my sleigh, well knowing mat my services would soon be wanted, and pres ently up drove Dan, his face flushed and his eyes flashing with excitement, while pretty little Mina, mullled as she was, clung terrified and half crying to his arm. "Marry us, parson, and be quick about It if you want to earn a ten-dollar gold piece," cried the excited Dutchman, 'her father's hot behind.' And indeed old Schmitt, like Lord TJllin, even now loomed up in the im mediate distance, plowing through the snow like a little steam tug. "The fact of old Schmitt's being on foot and the snow being so heavy was our sal vation. I cut theceremony quite as short as the law would allow, and MinaHchmitt was Mrs. Yokum just about two minutes before her irate Dutch fatlier steamed alongside of our Bleighs, red and hot as a fighting turkey cock. JJon't you dare to marrv tnem, parson, dn you !" shouted the old fellow, wildly, glaring at the voung people much like a wild beast would have done. "I never will, Mr. Schmitt," I replied quietly, 'for they are married already.' "Then followed such a volley of oaths as you would not care to record, the up shot of it all being that Dan Yokum final ly picked up his heavy whip and threat ened to thrash Schmitt if he didn't desist. The doughty Dutchman then retired far enough behind the sleigh to elude the blows of the whip, and gave his daughter such a cursing as would turn the clear atmosphere of Colorado a ghastly blue if it were to be reproduced. It was with difficulty that I succeeded in keeping young Yokum from jumping uion the neck of his newly-acquired paternal rela tive, but the feat was presently accom plished and the old man turned back in the snow to his lonely home, for Mina was the one child of his old age, while Dan and I drove on slowly and talked it all over as we rode along the road side by side. "If we had been older men that day. I think our hearts might have been a little touched as we saw the childless old mar turn and plow his lonely homeward way through the deep snow. If we had known by experience what suffering weant we miuht have Ditied the old man "UeVeft of his child's esteem like Shake- spvar's "Lear," but we were young and hit-hepded, and looked at the question from the purely personal standpoint, which is, the ground young people always take in matters of this kind. It seemed that Dan and Mina had long since assured old Schmitt that when Mina was twenty one years old they would marry whether he ;would or no. And so from the date of herVbirthday the old man, ever on the alert, had locked the girl into her room up-stairs, and had taken all her clothes away from her except the linsey-woolsey petticoat, and the red flannel under garment in which the blushing bride now apeared. But Dan and Mina were too smart for the old man. They were wak ing while he slept. They were inspired by love, and he by hate, and love came off' conqueror. "They laid their plans well, and suc ceeded as I have told you. You see, there was a sort of Montague-Capulet row existing between the Schniitts and the Yokums, and there had been for years. Both families were rich, as things go among farmers. They had disagreed about some transaction or other in tiie early days, and both were adamant where a reconciliation was concerned. Old Schmitt never relented to his dying day, but I am happy to say that although I think Mina was always a little distressed at being disinherited, that she and Dan led as happy a married life as hag ever come under my observation. The last time I saw them they were surrounded by rosy, pretty children. Dan had grown richer, and the spacious farm-house they lived in sheltered one of the happiest home cir?'.?? t Hav? ?ver seen." Den ver Tribune. VILAS PAID FOR It. The postmaster'geiieral has just come off second best in encounter with a por trait painter in this city. Last summer he gave him an order to do Mrs. A'ilas in water colors, and she sat the usual num ber of times. When she came back this fall the artist sent word that the rncture was done, and Mrs. lias asked a num ber of her friends down to the studio to inspect it. They were all delighted with it, both as a likeness and as a work ot art. Among others who called were Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Lamont, both of whom promised to give the artist sittings. The artist (sent the picture to the post master-general's residence, and heard nothing of it for sometime. Then he forwarded a bill for his work. To his surprise the portrait was return ed to his studio, with the message that the postmaster-general was not satisfied with the work and declined to pay for it. The artist called at the house for an explanation, anil Mr. Vilas told him that there was not the slightest resemblance in the picture to his wife, and he did not care to keep it for that reason. The in dignant painter returned to his studio, wondering what he could do with the re jected work, and found awaiting him there an order from a firm of tobacco manufacturers to furnish them a trade mark for a new brand of cigars, to in clude the portrait of a pretty woman. He sat down at once and inclosed this order in a note to the poftmaHter-general, in which he said that as there was no re semblance to Mrs. Vilas in the picture he had painted, he would not, of course, object to its use on a cigar-box. This brought Mr. Vilas to the studio at once, and lie protested in vigorous language against the use of his wife's picture for anv such purpose. "You have rejected my work," said the artist; "you have told me that vou cannot see the slightest resemblance to her features on that canvas; you have relused to pay my bill, Vl hen 1 asked vou what I should do with the picture you said you didn't care, and now I ' pro pose to send it to rew i ork, where it will he used as an advertisement for new brand of cigars." Mr. Vilas saw that the artist had him and the only alternative was to give him a check and send the iortrait home which he wisely did. Washington Let ter bt. Louis tjlobe-Oeiiioi.-rat. BILL NYE'S IJUDOET. WILLIAM AS A BOY. If I were a boy again, endowed with tin- same wild passion for plucking water in. Ions in the dark of the moon, I would no doubt fall a victim to that overmas tering passion as I did before ; but look ing at it as I do now, I would be wiser. Boys cannot, Jiowever, have the mature judgment f manhood without the ex perience and the rheumatism that, go with it. So it is better that in our child hood we may bo able to eat a raw turnip with safety, and know something later on in life. I notice a great change in myself while comparing my personal condition with that of joyous boyhood. Then I had no sense, but I had a good digestion; now I haven't even the digestion. The hurrying years have cavorted over my sunny head till I have worn it smooth, but they have left a good deal yet for me to learn. I am still engaged in learning during the day and putting arnica on my experience at night. Childhood is said to he the most glad period in our lives, and in some respecti, this statement may be regarded as felia ble. But it is not all joy. I have had just as much fun in later years as I did in boyhood, though the people with whom I have been thrown in contact claim that their experience has been different. I hope they do not mean an vtliing personal bv that. I do Sometimes wish that I could he a boy again, but I smother that wish. on ac count of my parents. What they need most is rest and change of scene. They still enjoy children, but they would like a chance to select the children with whom they associate. My parents were blest with five bright eyed and beautiful little boys. Three of them grew up, and by that means be came adults. I am in that condition my self. I was the eldest of the family, with the exception of my parents. I am still that way. My life was rather tempes tuous in places, occasionally flecked with sunshine, but more frequently with retri bution. I was not a very good roadster when young, and so retribution was most always just iu the act of overtaking; me, While outraged justice was getting in its work on me, the other boys escaped through a small aperture in the fence. That is another reason why I do not yearn to be a boy again. When we ran away from hcIioqI to catch chubs, and when we built a fire to cook them, and the fire got into the tall, dry grass and burned four miles of fence and sixteen tons of hay for a gentleman for whom I had a high regard, and 1 went back to put out the fire, the other boys escaped and have remained soever since. A just retribution has never had any difficulty in overtaking me and walking np and down over my wishbone. When a party of us had been engaged in gathering Easter eggs in the barn of a gentleman who was away from home, and he returned just as we had filled our pockets with the choicest vintage of his sun-kissed hens, the other boys escaped while I was occupying the attention of the dog, and I bad to elide out of the second story of the bam. It is still fresh in my mind as I write. I wore my fath er's vest at that time, and it was larger than necessary. My father was larger than I at that time, for I was only nine years of age and had not arrived at my full stature. In sliding down the batten I discovered that the upper eud of it was loose and that my flowing vest had slipped over it, so that when 1 got down about four feet I hung with the board buttoned inside my bewom and the scram bled eggs oozing out of my knickerbock ers. The batten had sprting back against the barn in such a way as to prevent my unbuttoning my vest, and while I hung there on the side of the barn like a coon skin, the proprietor came around and ac cused uie of prematurelv gathering his eggfl, 1 had heard truth very highly spoken of by people who had dabbled in it more or less, and so I resolved to try it in this instance. So I admitted that such was the case, and it was the best, thing I could liave done, for the man said as I had been so frank with him he would take me down as soon as he got his other work done, and he was as good as his word. After be bad milked nine cows and fed nine calves he came around with a ladder and took me down. lie also spanked me and set the dog on tne, but 1 did not mind that, lor 1 was accustomed to it. Io hang on the side of a barn, however, like an autumn leaf, trying to pkiek. large holes in the atmosphere, is disagreeable. I Boston (jrlobe. TIIE TRUTH ABOUT ITALICS.
