The Sew CcrcwfMj Jut Ap- prve4 by tke vermor. A very interesting ieddicg oc- curred over st Hock's Spring the j other night. Ben Lother and Ida j Giimes ran away from the neighbor hood where they had been reared, and applied toyoung Wilkinson, who 1 recently accepted a call to preach. iThe arrival of the runaway couple soon became known, and quite a number of young people gathered at the school house where the ceremony t was to be performed. The preacher, upon arriving, called Bill Fellers to i one side, and said : ! "Bill, I couldn't refuse to accom- modate that young couple, but to tea tne truth l don't know how to perform a marriage ceremony. I was never married and I never saw anybody married, and I don't under- I stand the performance." "I never saw anybody married, , either" Bill replied, "and I don't ueueve tuere's anyoody nere that understands it." "It won't do to disappoint them, for I understand the girl's father is in pursuit. Let's see, you were com missioned as a justice of the peace the other day weren't you?" "Yes, but the papers didn't shed any light on marriage ceremonies." "I don't know what to do about it," the young preacher continued. "They've begun to grow restless, you see." " "Well, parson, I don't understand it any more than you, but I am will ing, if you'll help me kill hogs next week, to take the job off your hands." "All right" Bill turned to the company, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, we've met here to engage in a verv serious business. This young couple" (pointing) "think tney ought to be married, and it ain't for me to say they ought not. Young fellow, have you got your licence?" "Yes, sir." "All right. Hop out here now." The young couple advanced. "Join hands," said Bill. "I would like to say that the new ceremony just approved by the Governor has gone into effect. Those who have never seen this ceremony performed will doubtless be amused at ita nov elty, but I'll say right here that all snickering will be treated as con tempt of court. Young man, what is your business?" "lam a farmer." "Ah, hah I How many rails can you split in a day?" "Four hundred in good timber." "Will you swear to it?" "Yes, sir." "Hold up your right hand." He held up his hand and was sworn. Bill continued : "Are you a good hand to cover corn?" "Yes, sir." "Please say, Yes, your Honor.'" "Yes, your Honor." "That's right. How much can you cover in a day?" "Three acres, if the land's in con dition." "Will you swear it?" "Yes, sir." "Yes, your Honor." "Excuse me. Yes, your Honor." "Hold up your right'hand." And he was sworn again. "What was the weight of the largest bass you over caught?" "Idon'tremember exactly. About five pounds, I reckon." "Will you swear it?" "No, your Honor." "All 'right. Are you willing to marry this girl?" "Yes, your Honor. If I wan't I f wouldn't have brought her here." "xnat'swnat ltnougnt," utii med itatively replied. "You love her, I reckon?" "Yes, yourHonor.' "How much?" "Oh, I don't know, much." j"What did she say asked her?" Ever so when you "She said, 'Yes.' " "Glad to hear it." "Now, young lady, will you please advance and kiss the Judge?" The girl heBitated a moment, but she stepped up and kissed Bill. "Do vou love this man?" "Yes, sir." "Yes, your Honor." The girl corrected her mistake. "How much do you love him?" "Lots." "Glad to hear it. Please step forward and kiss the Judge." Again she kissed him. "Remember that you are under oath. Did vou ever love any one else?" "Yes, your Honor." "Why didn't you marry him?" "He didn't ask me." "Please advance and kiss the Judee." "Look here, 'Squire, said the would-be-bridegroom. "I believe we'd ruther be married theoldway." "The old way is repealed. Young lady, how old are you?" "Look here, Judge," said the now impatient lover, "that's none of your business." "Yes, it is. Young lady, you will please advance and kiss the Judge." "No, I'll be blamed if she shall 1 exclaimed the young man; "an' more than that, "this thing has gone far enough. Now, I want to ask you a few questions. Don't move. The young feilow-Tf hipped out a pis tol, and Bill's knees began to hump each other. "Now, juststand there. Did you ever see a bigger liar than yguaw?" "No, sir. "No, Colonel." "No, Colonel," BUI repeated. ' "Wouldn't you steal if you got a I chance?" "Yes, Colonel." "That's what I thought. Now, confound you, lead us to a preacher's house pretty devilish quick. Come on, folks; the fun ain't over yet." Arkansaw Traveler. The Rise of Eageae Hale. In the Maine Legislature of 1862, my seat-mate was a gray-haired, good-looking man, every inch a gentleman Sir. Grant, of Ellsworth who treated me cordially from the first, and between us there grew up a lasting friendship. He had been in the House before, and helped me to get the ''hang of the school house." Afterwe became acquainted, Mr. Grant inquired about Eugene Hale, who was a young man settled at Ellsworth. I had known Eugene from earl boyhood, dividing his time between working on the farm and going to school, and I gave him a good recommendation. How could I do otherwise? for no young man ever stood fairer or better in the community in which he was raised. When I met Eugene I told him what I had said to Mr. Grant. "Now, Eugene, I want vou to fill the bill," said I. "X wilftrv' was Eugene's reply. When Engeno got his foot Into Congress there was no power to get him out, until the greenback craze knocked his trot ters out from under him. Seth Milliken, who represented Eugene's old district, has not forgotten what kicked Eugene, and when a bill was before Congress to make more eighty -five-cent dollars, he voted against it.

"How does yer manage den, dese hard times?" "Oh, fust rate. My wife cooks fur er gennerman what 'runs er bank. I tell yer whut, dar ain' notliin' like er good wife dat can tote er heavy load." Arkansaw Traveler. "Mother," said a young wife, "would you mind cooking the din ner to-day? It would please John, I know. He complains so much of the new girl that I shall discharge her the moment I can get another." "Certainly," teplied th old lady, cordially. At dinner John said to his wife: "Mary, that new girl seems to be getting worse and worse." Cook's Journal.
