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.— Frank Leslie's'Weekly.
