AFTEH MANY TEAKS.
Two Lovers Separated in Youth a~e
Reauited ir a ll.ippy Fate.
.L- niiKviile Conn, i- tom •rd.
A marriage which unfolded a gen¬
uine romance was solemnized yes¬
terday at the magistrate office of
Justice McCann. The lovers were
Mordecai Zeizer and Mary A. Call,
Both are in middle life. Years ago
as boy and girl they were lovers,
diving on two adjoining plantations
near neai Hot Hot Soridcs ri.lgs, Aik Ark They ) were
betrothed, and expected to marry
early, but a formidable barcit r
between them, which ended in an
unwilling h separation. The fathers
.pf , the ,, respective families f disputed
over a matter of politics and en
P«g«i in ... "on the field of honor."
Zeiaer wounded Call, and that pro.
Toked a family feud, in which sev
eral of the sons and relatives on
.each sid;, were called to take part
and defend the family name.
The feud was the direct c«use of
no little bloodshed, and ended only
when the Zeizers and Calls
doned their homesteads for new
fields. This was about fifteen years
ago.
Mordrcri Zeizer went to Cuba,
■where he had Spanish relatives. -
He engaged in several speculative
enterprises und finally became ira
monsely rich. Mary Call accompa
nied an uncle to California. Both
remained single, but in the mean
time heard nothing of each other.
Zeizer returned to this country
about a month since.
It was fate that brought the old
lovers together. Zeizer arrived in
fins city yesterday, his purpose be
ing to 'visit the exposition. Miss
Call was on her way home after
long years of absence on the Pacific
const. She was accompanied by n
r.dative from the same quarter.—
They could not possibly miss the
exposition, and determined to spend
hdf the day there.
A little while afternoon, when
Zeizer was aimlessly wandering
about, he came face to face with his
former idol. They 'stared fixedly
ot eacber for a moment, when a
bright smile shot across Mary’s
face.
"Mor.leo.ir .he exclaimed, and
pnt ont iier hend.
“Mery!” he K..ped with

ritE TBl E MAN.
The wqrk one may do in this
world is only secondary matter.—
The primary thing is the man him¬
self. This life is a school, with its
long and varied curriculum, in
which men and women are being
trained and disciplined for another
life beyond this earthly sphere. _
Currying on business successfully
i« therefore not half so important
as buildinggood manhood.
er at the end of sixty or seventy
years of hard toil, a man rests with
n con* f ortable fortune, or comes to
tbe close with nothing, is really a
very small *matter, in comparison
with what the man himself is, at
the end of the career. We pity a
good man who fails in business
when too old to start again; but if,
through his checkered course, he
has kept himself pare, and clean,
and true, and has grown into strong
and noble character, he is not to be
pitied. Pity millions, rather the poor made man
with his who bus
money at the price of his character,
and has built up a fortune on the
ruins of his manhood.

Venomous reptiles are those which
have two hollow teeth in the upper
jaw through which they eject poi
son into into tne the wound wouim made iuuue by uy their
bite. The great majority of snakes
are not venomous, but nevertheless
there are more veuomone auake,m
the .. world , , than most . men , , really rM ,.„ „ re
quire.
There are two classes of veno
mous snakes -those whose bite is
certain dealh-theee rvl,«e bite can
beourwl The only venomous anoke
inhabiting Europe is the viper, but
its its bite bite isJWldom is seldom fatal, fatal in In t the i ie Ulli L m .
ted States, with the possible
tion of New Mexico and Arizona,
there are only three venomous rep
tiles—the rattlesnake, the
head and the moccasin. All ‘> ther
the other species ot snakes to which
the name “adder” is often given by
country people, are as harmless as
the common pretty little garter
snake.
Central and South America have
many venomous snakes, whose
is always fatal. Among these the

men said he thought he would

with one exception, said they would

from the beams of the roof, and was
soon asleep.
He awoke early in the morning,
and, to his horror, found that throe
«nakes were sleeping on his body,
,i nd that others were hanging from
the rafters or gliding over Lie floor.

‘1 am more resolved on that than

He now sought rest and peaceful

when, with wite and children he

To one who asked him how he ever
came to let himself be tied to a wo|
