Brnat! but Businesslike
A newly elected justice of the, peace
who had been nsed to drawing deeds
and wills and little else, was called
upon ** his first official act to marry
a eo a pi# who oasns into his offlsn ret¬
ry Carried! y and told him their pur¬
pose. Ho lost no time in removing
his hat. anil remarked, ‘Hats off in
the presence of the Court,’ All being
uncovered, he said : ‘Hold up your
right hands. Yon John Marvin do
solemnly swear that to the best of
your knowledge an' belief you take
this yer woman ter have an’ ter hold
for yerself, yer heirs, tfxekyerters, ad¬
ministrators and assigns, for your an’
their use au’ behoof forever ?’
‘I do,’ answered the groom,
‘You, yllioe Ewer,, take this yer
man for yer husband, ter have an’ ter
hold forever; and you do further
swear that you are lawfully seized in
fco-simple, are free from all incum
beranoe, and hev good right to sell,
bargain and convey to the said guar¬
antee yerself, yer heirs, administra¬
tors add assigns ?’
‘I do,' said the bride, rather doubt¬
fully.
‘Well, John, that’ll be about a dol
lar ’n’ fifty cents.
‘xre we married?’ asked the bride.
‘Yes, when the fee comes in.' After
some fumbling it whs praduced and
handed to the ‘court,’pocketed it and
continued : ‘know all men by these
presents that T, being in good health,
and of sound and disposfn mind, in
consideration of a dollar'n fifty cents
t# me in hand paid, the receipt there¬
of is hereby acknowledged, do and
by these presents have declared you
man and wife during good behavior
and until otherwise ordered by the
court,’
A Defense of Cleopatka —Allow
me to i quire Here, parenthetically,
how it happens that the quee i of
Egypt has come to be regarded as an
example of extreme inconstancy She
has been grossly misrepresented b is
tory tells us that she was married to
her brother, Ptolemy XII by the will
of her father after his death, The
union was merely an arrangeme t of
state ; had jtio bindi g force ; d was
not probably, ever consummated, as
tins eouple were minors. PompeJ was
appointa<l their guardian, and it has
bee i i tixaated that he was her lover.
There was no authority whatever for
this, i deed everyth! g points to the
contrary. lie was not merely chaste,
he was almost pass ion les , as Cicero
has testified. W hen Caesar had inva
ded the country, and Ponipy had been
murdered, he was fascinated by her,
and she became his mistress, more
froa lave than interotit. Then, in or¬
der to give weight to her soveraignty
she was given in marriage to : her sec¬
ond brother, a child of seven years -
her other brother, Ptolemy XII, hav
ingbeei drow ed—and the foremost
man of all the world Gved with her
until he re urned to Rome, carrying
with him die woman who was the
most splendid part of his conquest.—
When he went to his last campaign in
Hispania, she saw 7 him for the last
time.
At Auto -ya meeting with her, Ctesar
had bee m dead cine yeara ; so that her
relatio i to him was no disloyalty to
her former protector. They were the
only men of whom she ever pretended
to be fond, and she was devoted to
them in mind, heart and soul. T'be
opinion that she accepted ugustus
(Octavius) Ctnsar has no basis. Shake
speare gives this impression, but mere¬
ly as a poetic license. Cleopatra, there¬
fore, instead of being an incarnation
of disloyalty, was a model of loyalty,
especially for that time. — f'hicuyu
Times’ Long Branch Letter.
The truest domestic happiness is to
be found in humble life. If the do¬
mestic history of nearly all the tuon-
archs of the past and present could be
written it would present a sad
and often disgusting story of infelic¬
ities, and dispose no thinking wo¬
man to wislt for a crown, which has
few roses and many thorns. Victor
Emanuel was known to be the most
unfaithful of husbands, and Francis
Joseph, with a dashing and still
beautiful wife, is not free from the
weakness of the Italian King Even
the old Emperor William, of Germa¬
ny, is accuse'! of not loving his Au¬
gusta, and the celebration of his gold-
en wedding at Berlin was. to the
knowing ones, an imperial fai-ce.—
Once a year tie meets his royal
spouse at a German spa. on which
occasion the couple put on the
pearanee of harmony, but
people see through it and pity the
poor Empress, The beautiful Lousia
and her royal Frederick, f •om whom
William is descended, were lovers all
their married lives, and should have
been an example worth following.—
The latest scandal is the morganatic
marriage of the Czar Alexander with
the Princess Dolgorousko, by whom
lie has several children, for whom
special titles have been created. They
were as ‘good as married' long prior
to the death of the Empress, who was
compelled to bear, with her ill health,
the hated presence of a rival, The
Princess followed the Czar to the
Balkans during the Turkish cam¬
paign, and he is known to have been
completely infatuated with her for
over ten years. Alexander is now
past, sixty-one and vet love in his
1„»t is perennial. There i, hope for
aged lovers of both sexes since the
Czar and the Baroness Burdett-Coutts
bandy sweet epithets with F tl’OS.—
