JAS. W. ROBERTSON, Apri-8-tf Genera) Superintendent. Married Across a River. A GOOD JOKE ON A KENTUCKY BRIDAL PAR TY— 'DO IT QUICK, SQUIRE.” A Chunelton, Indiana, Justice of the Peace baa lately performed a matri monial fea‘ which entitles him to the kind regat 1 and business considera tion of every pair of closely pursued and hotly pressed lovers in the world. Canneltoh is one of Kentucky’s con venient Gretna Greens—much the better and safer for being in another State, wit I the sweet-flowing Ohio be tween. C -melton is so used to young Lu°iY a .Y s ? re .. never notable h,story. A couple of this kind sought the sweets of Cainelton the other <lay, and got into the papers. A pretty li'tle Kentucky gir! was loved by two brothers. She was not able to de Me betweeu them, and left the qneshon with themselves to de cide. Tl, y met one day on their way to the house of the lady, and commenc' and the argument of which was the bast man in the old Kentucky style of off with your coat and at it pel inell, rough and tumble —biff and come again. While they were thus discussing their relative merits, and both getting very tired of the debate, another voung fellow who had no fra ternal rival, slipped i to the house, tol l of the disgraceful scene in prog ress betv. een the brothers, and asked the young lady to split the difference and get* rid of the ruffians by taking him. The picture he pointed her was so bright that she took him at his word and both hastened to make tracks out of the State. They hied them to the river and on the way en gaged a holy man of Pawsville to come over as quick as he could and bring his wedding ceremonial outfit for their everlasting benefit. He agreed to skiff over the river in a short time and told them to go; be as happy as they could until he came. They cross‘d over to Cannelton and hastened to procure the necessary wedding document by the laws of In diana made and provided for such vent nr s. They got it and were walk ing hand in hand just outside the gates of E len, waiting for them to swing pen with silver music and ad mit ti. 1 v still forbidden joys. There was just enough fear of pursuit to make it lively for their young hearts, and cause them to tremble a little on the brink of blessedness. They came to Castleberry bridge over a rippling •dream which was too wide to jump and too deep to wade. The bridge was undergoing repaits, and a large portion of the floor was torn up. They stopped and looked iiuo the gulf below through the bare beams. They gazed over to the Kentucky sLore and saw a boat full of men row irg across with steady stroke. Pur sued ! That was the first thought. What was to be done ? They would perish together r ther than he torn asunder. Hand in hand they ad vanced ouc step nearer the gulf before taking the fatal plunge through the gaping bridge beams, A moment more, and they would have been safe from pursuit, and locked in each other's arms at the pebbly bottom of the stream. They heard a voice cry: “Hold, r.ish, impetuous children. ’ They looked up and saw the smiling face of Squire Patterson like a rising sun on the other side of the bridge. They knew him in their calmer, bap pier days. The young lady was on the most intimate footing with the Squire, and she very naturally took the position of spokesman. She hal loed across, “Squire, marry us quick !” At the same time pointing to the advancing with audibly splashing oars The Squire took in the situation in a twinkling, and shouted, “All right, send on your papers.” The young man picked up a handy boulder, and tying the license to it with his hand kerchief, flung it across, while the young woman was crying at the top of her voice, “Here they come ! They are ready to land! Do it quick, Squire!” The squire did it quick, and shouted the marriage ceremony across the water, and bridged the yawning chasm with safety for those very near the brink. He ended, “I pronounce you man and wife. Go tell ’em what God hatn joined to gether let no man burst asunder. Young mar, tie a dolLr to another dorniek and heave it over.” The lit tle matter was all settled nicely, and the young couple breathed again. They were marrie 1 and pronounced man and wife so quickly that it ma le their heads swim. They could now dare life, and brave all the world;es pecially their eager pursuers, who had landed from the boat. They tururd toward the skiff passengers with proud defiance, and suddenly came to thtir sober senses. The boat brought over the holy man whom they had engaged to marry them, and his party, and they felt ashamed. Miscellaneous. Many a child goes astray, not be cause there is a want of prayer or vir tue at home, but simply because home lacks sunshine. Give work rather than alms to the poor. The former drives out indolence, the latter industry. Placard for a smoking-car: “If pas sengers expect to rate as gentlemen, they must not expectorate, upon the floor.” 1 j ibe mother of an unmanageable, Irish boy, living in Portland, thus ex cused him to the police: “Sure, Pat- ; livable, 1 ! with a roosh of mind tothe brain!” | The man who never told an editor 1 gone b o e uL°^ !<l * b / tter his P. a P er ’ iias who never woman glass. sujookuig- A schoolmaster was ouce asked, “Why are cream and sugar put into tea?” and he answered “To render the acute angles of tea more ob tuse” A lady took her little boy to church for the first time. Upon hearing the organ he was on his feet instanter. “SiUlown,” said the mother. “I won’t, he shouted; “I want to see the mon key.” Mrs. Matilda Jones, an elderly fe male, has appeared in an English po lice court, and pleaded that she was “chemicalized from a sewer,” not drunk. Five shillings aud costs. Salt Lake has been victimized by a| showman who announced that be would cause a “human body to appear | and disappear before the audience.”. Ho appeared, got their money, and j disappeared. He filled the pro gramme. A dutiful Chicago boy found that his aged mother’s Bible was of too fine print for her failing eyesight, sold the book, and bought a base-ball, bat j and four sticks of candy. “I’m going—I know I am,” said a dying Mississippi, “and I believe I’d go easy if Jim would get down the fiddle and play the ‘Arkansas Travel-, er’ once more.” Jim did. It is too bad that the Mayor of! Grass City, Kansas, is dead, for the I local paper says that “if he hadn’t but ; one chew of tobacco, he’d divide it j with a friend.” Susie Liberty, ofLaCrose, has tbir-1 teen lovers, and every one of them j exclaims, “Give me Liberty or give j me death !” And she’s a red headed girl at that. Circumstances alter cases. For in stance, when a Virginian arose in j church and said, “Here’s a dollar bill i for the old hogs behind the pulpit,” i no one thought of putting him out. To cure bots in horses, give the an imal one quart of sage tea in which a large teaspoon fill of soda or saleratus is dissolved. If not relieved in one hour, repeat the dose. It is advisable in the construction of poultry bouses, to use pine lumber —the more pitch it contains the bet-j ter, as this is offensive to poultry ver min. If your horse seems inclined to rub the hair from his mane and tail, take a brush and the parts rubbed first with strong soap suds, and then I with salt and water. It will kill the humor, and he will rub no more. Fun is worth more than physic, and whoever invents or discovers anew source of supply, deserves the name of; pub ic benefactor; and whoever can write an article most laughter-promo ting, and at the same time harmless, is worthy of our gratitude and re spect. “Why did you leave your last I place?” inquired a young housekeep- j er about to engago anew servant. “Why, you see, ma’am,” replied the; applicant, “I was too good looking, and when I opened the door folks took me for the missus.” A Brooklyn young woman, who j abandoned her old husband, says: “He was too soft. I couldn’t be hug- j ging and kissing him all the -while — ! it isn't my disposition. I couldn’t bear to be obliged to sit on his lap and cuddle him every time I wanted j a cent.” The child who privately does a thing for one parent known to the contrary to the wishes of the other, and the parent who can counsel it, are equally guilty of violence against domestic rule, will not cease to bear the perni cious fruits of deception and discord to the latest of their lives. From Eight to Sixteen—ln these few years are the destinies of children fixed, in forty-nine cases out of fifty— fixed by the parent! Lt>t every fath er and every mother solemnly vow, “By God’s help, I’B fix mv darling’s destiny far good by making home more attractive than the street.’ 82.50 A YEAR SUNDAY READING [For the Gazette.] Sin Against the Holy Ghost. MAT. XII., 32. Expositors generally, consider these words literally denouncing absolute damnation against those wicked Phar isees. I cannot say they strike me in that light. I cannot suppose the sin against the Holy Ghost, any more than other sins, was absolutely un pardonable. My reasons are these: First: it seems contrary to the .gen eral tenor and tenderness ol the Gos pel, to place any person beyond a possi bility of salvation. The gospel was preached to all mankind; and repen tance held out universally to all. Secondly: Before our saviour finish- i Uifl Very discourse with the Scribes and Pharrs-o^-, have thrown out to tauce, holding up the Ninevites to them as pattern, which would have been very unnecessary if repentance had been ineffectual. “The men of Nineveh, shall rise up in judgment against this generation, aud condemn it, because they repented at the preach ing of Jonas, and behold, a greater than Jonas is here.” This surely sup poses that if the men of that genera tion—namely, the Scribes and Phari sees to whom the speech was ad dressed —had repented, they might, like Nineveh, have been pardoned. My last reason is, that it is com mon in Scripture to put the impossi bility of a thing for its great difficulty. Several passages might be mentioned, but I shall quote only that remark able passage in which our Saviour says, “It is impossible for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.” When the disciples seemed startled at so severe a sentence, Jesus immedi ately qualified what he had said by explaining lm meaning: “It is impos sible for those who trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of heaven.” For these three reasons, therefore, I cannot take the 6in against the Holy Ghost to have been literally unpar donable. If this sin then was rather difficult than impossible to be forgiv en, let us examine in what this pecu liar difficulty—for such, no doubt, it was, consisted. It seems to have con sisted iu an obstinate demonstration to resist the greatest calls to repen tance which could possibly awaken sinners. It is impossible for sinners to have a greater than their blessed Saviour working miracles before their eyes, aud they who resisted this call might well be supposed to resist every call. They had hardened themselves to such a degree, that no hope of their repentance remained. The stress, therefore, appears to be laid rather on the improbability of re* pentance than on tbe impossibility of for* giveness. GILPIN. “I Was Too Confident.” After the awful tragedy of the “At lantic,” Captain Williams, in the an guish of his spirit referring to the fa tal mistake in calculating his vessel's position, over which he slept so quiet ly, said, “The one thing that rebukes ine, which I cannot keep out of my mind, which will remain with me as long as I live, is that I was too confi dent, too confident."— with every repe tition of the ghastly picture of disas ter in memory, conscience will ring over it the fearful words, “too confi dent." How much more melancholy the fact that every shipwreck for eternity will have just this bitter cause of the soul-tragedy. Whatever the form of unbelief, or reason for delay, this im mortal spirit slept over a careless mis calculation of safety—it was too con fident. Oh, to the lost forever, who can tell us the agony of the single self-accusation, while with the dread ful past behind, the vision stretches on to see only the blackness of dark ness, “I was too confident.” jgfSotue ministers preach to please their congregations; others to please God. The latter class are not as a ! rule, the most popular in this world, which indicates the wide separation between things human and divine. In the future world—the world of re wards—the preeminence of the duti ful pastor will appear.
