Mrs Meredith Retd, the wife of
our minister to Greece, is very spark
ling and original woman, cultured
and refined, and a delightful repre

lover one day last week, and to spite
him went on a fishing.excursion with
a party of young folk's, the lover be

rescue and brought Miss Hall safely
to shore.
Mrs. Garfield is a woman of a
sweet and winning spirit, and of
bright and cultivated mind. As Miss
Lncretia Rudolph she was an exceed
ingly pretty ana interesting girl, and
and her marriage with the General

tion. Her intellect has kept pace
with her hnsband’a; she has studied
the same books he studied, taken up
languages with him, and has so train
ed herself as to fit her boys for col
lege in the most thorough manner.
She is an excellent Latin scholar, and
is also proficient in several modem
languages. She is a little lady,
graceful iu carriage, and most frank
and charming manners.

A Practical Joke.
Toronto Mail.]
The funeral of Miss Clara Bagnali
recently took place from her moth
er’s residence, Indiantown, N. B. The
story of her sad life should be a
warning to practical jokers. Several
rears ago, while the deceased was
>ut a girl, a gentleman of her ac
quaintance thonght he would play a
joke on her, never imagining for a
moment that it would result so seri
ously as it did. Hfe arrayed himself
in a diabolical rigand presented him
self before her. She was naturally
of a weak and nervous temperament
and the shock that her nerves experi
enced by the frightful apparition
iroved too much to. her. She fell
n a fit, only to wake a raving mani
ac. For five or six years her friends
managed to keep her at home, until
her health began to fail, when 'they
very reluctantly decided upon send
ing her to the asylnm. She lingered
there for some time, until the angel
of death appeared and relieved her
of her suffering.

Emotional Insanity.
Galveston (Texas) News.]
A Galveston gentleman had occa
sion to go into a dentist’s shop to have
a tooth pulled. In order to nerve
himself up to this ordeal, the sufferer
had taken several strong drinks of
whiskey. The dentist, who lind never
seen the sufferer before, examined
the tooth, and then retired for a few
moments into the back room. When
the dentist reappeared he had two
revolvers and a bowie-knife strapped
on his person. After placing a large
shot-gun in a convenient corner the
dentist approached the sufferer with
the forceps.
“What in the name of Heaven does
all this mean ?” gasped the man in
the chair.
“When a man’s breath smells of
emotional insanity like yours does, I
am not goinj; to exasperate him un
prepared. You may be Jim Currie
himself, for all I know.”
As the dentist was afterward seen
alive on the streets, tho interference

The Sabbath.
HOW THE DAT CAME TO BE OBSERVED AS
HOLT—INTERESTING HISTORY.
Saturday Review.]
Tho observance of Sunday, or the
Lord’s Day, as it is called In the New
Testament—to which other festivals
were gradually added—is unquestion
ably coeval witli tho Christian Church
but it was nevor before tho sixteen* h,
or in Eugland I ho seventeenth centu
ry, confounded witli the Jewish Sab
bath. It has boen very generally be
lieved that this was oue of the com
mandments which our Lord gave
His Apostles during the forty uays
between tho resurrection unrf ascen
sion. Be that as it may, the practice
can bo clearly traced up to the Apos
tolic ago, while it is equally clear that
the observance of-the Jewish Sabbath
was never held obligatory on Chris
tians, and St. Paul sharply denounc
ed ft as a dangeaous superstition,—
Tiic Sabbath was no doubt observed
for a time, as were also other por
tions of the old ceremonial law by
some Jewish converts. And from an
early period Saturday was observed
in the West as a fast, in memory ol
tho burial of our Lord, as it after
ward came to be consecrated to the
honor of the Virgin Mary, who had
an Ojficlum in Sabbato in the Latin
Ritual—a consideration which wo
commend to the notice of the Sabba
tarian Societies.
But these usages serve rather to
distinguish the day from Sunday
than to identify the two. The latter
was invariably kept as a festival, the
two duties insisted on being attend
ance at the service of the Eucharist,
and abstaining, from servile work,
with the exception of agricultural la
bor in cases of necessity. The Coun
cil of Laodicca laid down express
directions on both points, and after
the conversion of Constantine the
State added legal sanctions to the
rules of the Chnrcb. An edict of
Constantine enjoins the cessation of
military exercises, law business, and
work of all kiuds—with tho excep
tions just now mentioned—“on the
venerable day of the Sun/’ The Em
peror Theodosius went further and
suppressed all public spectacles on
that day. And these prohibitions
were renewed afterward in tho Capi
tularies of Charlemagne. Mean
while tho clergy used their whole in
fluence, very beneficially on (lie
whole, to enforce this observance,
and various legends were current.—
St. Gregory, of Tours, records some
of them, illustrating the miraculous
punishments which had fallen on
these who had violated it.
But while it is thus abundantly
manifest that, as Baxter puts it,
“from the Apostles” days tho church-
es unanimously agreed in the holy
use of it as .separated day, it would
be difficult to specify any method of
keeping Sunday on the obligation of
which they were agreed, beyond the
two already napied—namely, the du
ty of frequenting public worship, and
of resting and allowing dependents
to rest from all ordinary work. The
tatter point had, of coarse, a peculiar
importance in ages when slavery or
serfdom was generally prevalent, and
hence tho stress laid on resting from
“servile work.” But it can not be
shown that any objection was enter
tained, either in the early or the mid-
teval Church to inuocont recreations
on Sunday. The public spectacle
were held not to be innocent, and
Christians were forbidden to witness
them at any time on account of their
immoral and idolatrous adjuncts.—
It was because the leisure of Sunday
afforded exceptional facilities for
this forbidden practice, which was
moreover found to interfere with at
tendance at divine service, that The
odosius was induced to put a stop to
all public porformauces on that day.
In the Middle Ages Sunday amuso-
meats were certainly not discouraged
and Archbishop Laud was merely
reviewing the old tradition in his
ill-timed publication of the “Book of
Sports.’ Hallam observes that the
founders of tho English Reformation
made no change in this respect, but

MAKING UP AN ALBINO.
Wanted—A young, red-haired I.i
dy; travelling engagemcnL Apply
at once, Agency 04 East Fourteenth
st.
The above advertisement was
shown to a tall, beneficent-looking
young man standing behind a rail In
the office of Brown’s Dramatic and
Variety Agency, at the address given.
' “I called,” tho reporter explained,
“because there seemed to be some
thing unusual—”
“Nothing unusual about that,” in
terrupted the tail man blandly.
“But who wants a yonng red-hair
ed lady ? It isn’t usual to advertise
for them in—”
“Nothing unusual, I assure you.—
Charley—applied to us for oue and
we advertised. He runs a side show
with the—Circns.”
“Did lio trill you what he wanted a
young red-haired lady for in a side
show ?”
“Certainly.”
“Well, can you toll mo what he
wanted her for?”
“Of course. 11c wanted her to
make an Albino out of her.”
“Don’t you think tint is strange ?”
“How strange? (lore is a'man
that wants an Albino. A red-headed
girl makes the best Albino. Here is
a rcd-licaded girl that is willing to
be an Albino. Why shouldn’t he ad
vertise for her? I don’t see any
thing strange in that. The only tiling
strange about tho matter is that out
of a hundred red-headed girls that
have come here to-day not one would
consent to go with a side-show.—
They all want to go on tho stage and
be Clara Morrises.”
“But Albinos are not young red-
haired ladies. Don’t you think there’s
something strange—’’
“Not at all,” said the {dramatic and
variety ageut. “A human hair is a
tube nearly white and transparent.—
The coloring matter is inside. The
coloring matter is easily bleached
out. When the coloring matter is
bleached out of red hair it leaves it a
shade of white mure nearly resemb
ling the hair of a true Albiiio than in
the case of other kinds of hair.’’
“May I publish that Charles—wants
to transform a young red-haired la
dy into an Albino for his side-show
with the—Circus?”
‘•Certainly. He’ll have no objec
tion, If you tnink it worth publish
ing, but I don’t see any thing strange
or remarkable about the matter.—
New York Sun.
that in the following century Sabba
tarianism grew up—both in the use
of the word Sabbath and the Judaic
tone of thonght it implied—as a dis
tinctive badge of Puritanism. For it
would not be correct to say that the
mobern Sabbatarian notion is so
much distinctively Protestant as dis
tinctively insular and Puritan. The
popular phrase, “the Continental
Sunday,” must not bo translated—as
the Lord’s Day Society would very
likely be disposed to translate it—in
to “the Catholic Sunday,” for in fact,
Roman Catholics are much stricter,
as a rule, than foreign I’rotcBtants in
their observance of the day.
FALSE TEETII AND CRUTCHES.—Among
the passengers who liosrded the East-
bound train at Ilolly Michigan, the other
day were a bride and groom of the regu
lar holly-hock order. Although the car
was full of passengers the pair began to
squeeze hands and hug as soon os they
were seated. This of course attracted at
tention, and pretty soon everybody was
nodding and winking, and several per
sons so far forgot themselves as to laugh
outright. By and by the broad-should
ered and red-handed groom became
aware of the fact that be was being rid
iculed, and he unlinked himself to the
height of six feet, looked up mid down
the aisle, and said: “There seems to lie
considerable nodding and winking
around here because I’m hugging the
girl who was married to me at 7 o’clock
flits morning. If the rules of this rail
road forbid a man from hugging ids wife
after he’s paid full fare then I’m going
to quit, but if tlie rules don’t and this
winking and blinking isn’t bittin short
off when we )>oss the next mile post, I’m
going to begin on the front seats and
create a rising market for false teeth and
crutches?” If there were any more winks
and blinks tn that car the groom didn’t
catch ’em at it.
Four Young Lawyers.
HOW THET CAKE WEST TO GROW UP
WITH TH* CQU N TR V—WHO
THEY WERE.
Adrian (litch.l Times.]
In the law office of John S. Spen
cer, at Canandaigua, New York, in
1831-32, we>-o four young law stu
dents, to fortune and to fame un
known. Under the careful guidance
of Mr. Spencer they were duly admit
ted to the Bar in 1834, and one of
them at once struck out for the West,
locating at Cleveland. Hero ho stuck
fast, and while waiting the expira-
tiou of the six months prescribed by
the Ohio laws before a citizen of
another State can be admitted to
practice in her Courts, he was snr-
Ji'iscd by a call from his three fol-
ow-stndents. They were looking for
places to hang but their shingles.—
“Well, one of you can stay here with
me;, another of you can go further to
this iittlo French villagd they call De
troit, and the other can pash ou to a
new place they call Chicago, on tho
site of old Fort Dearborn.” After a
littio consultation this plan was
agreed on. The one who went on to
the “little Frencli village” was George
C. Bates; he who went furUier on
was Stephen A. Douglas, who went
to Springfield, instead of Chicago,
making a mistake, while he who re
mained in Cleveland was Henry B.
Payne. This was in 1834. The yonng
man who planned out the careers of
his three companions was E. II.
Tompson, now of Flint, this State,
and who told us tho circumstances.

Impure Breath.
Among all the disagreeable conse

teeth, an impure breath must be the most
mortifying and unpleasant to its possess
or, anil it is the most inexcusable and of

may lie easily removed by cleansing the
teeth dally with that justly popular ilen-

refreshes Uic month, and gives aiicarl-
Hke appearance to the teeth. Gentlemen
