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

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

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.
