One of the oddest is the “bidding.'' When a young man and woman are engaged a circular Is printed, known as a “bid ding letter,” and distributed at market anil outside tbo, chapels on Sunday so that ull may know of the event. The form is always tbe same and runs as. follows: . v ^ As we Intend to writer the matrimonial state we are encouraged by our friends to make a bidding on the occasion at tbe young man's father's bouse (here follow the a (I dree* and date of the entertain ment). when and where the favor of your good and agreeable company is most hum bly solicited, and whatever donation you may be pleased- to bestow on us will be thankfully received, warmly acknowledg ed and cheerfully repaid whenever called for on a similar occasion by your obedient servants. JOHN EVANS. JANE DAVIS. All being ready on the day, a party goes to fetch the bride to the bidding. She hides and has to be sought for in all directions, but being at last found is escorted in triumph. Her procession is met- by that of the bridegroom, find they all repair the church, where the wcddtfg eerembuy takes place, after which all return to the groom's house to make merry and to count tbe gifts. These are generally lu money and vary from a shilling up to half a sovereign. ( \ Each item is carefully entered In* a book by the “bidding clerk,” together with thp donor’s name, so that It may be repaid when he or she marries. As all the money will • probably not be tailed in for ninny years—some not at all, if tbe givers remain single—the young couple receive a tolerable start in life. Oddly enough, the bridegroom is expected to provide the kitchen clock and table, the glass cupboard and the kitchen dresser, also the bedstead. 'Khcli of. the young people is supposed to bring half a dozen chairs, tins bride’s especial contribution being the bed ding, \ the crockery ware, the parlor table and a chest of drawers. Things are dona methodically In that payt of the world^—London Tit-Bits. THOUGHTLESS WIT. Wit that stings Is ukiu to crime. To hold up another to ridicule is not wlttV, but vulgar. To laugh at Another or to cause an other to be laughed at is common. The merry laugh and the joke go round, but somewhere there Is an ache There Is no pest like him, this r:,..r. whose thoughtless wit starts the laugh The uinu that makes others laugh at some one elso’s expense is always caus ing suffering. To start a laugh Is the ambition of some men. The how or the where, the why or the effect is never considered. Wit is a joy forever so long as it docs uot base its success upon the misfor tunes, tlie peculiarities, the weaknesses of men; When a wit has to depend upon oth ers’ peculiarities for his subject matter it is time for him to close the “wit shop” and hang out the sign “To Let.” .-Indianapolis Sun, UeUniuft MU Position. Years ago there wus a member of an eastern legislature named Murphy, a good politician, but hardly a statesman, indeed his notions of parllameiimiy or der and debate were crude. Ho was so frequently out of order that the speaker got In the habit of crying as soon ns Mr. Murphy rose, "The gentle man is out of order!” Once, In the midst of an important and exciting debate, be leaped to his feet. Tbe bouse murmured, and tbe speaker brushed him asido with the usual remark, “Tbe gentleman is out ol order!” Murphy sat down, but presently be was on hfs # feet again. "Mr. Prfshllnt, l rise to a point of order.

Birds’ Nests. In Scotland a naturalist has found golden eagle’s nest that contained a rubber ring, carried thither by the birds as an adornment. An observer in California has reported that a pair of golden eagles there decorated their nest with sacks. "When the kite builds look to lesser linen,” says Shakespeare, alluding to the robberies committed by those birds from tbe hedges when linen was put to dry. The late Mr. Booth described a kind of bower made by so pie aesthetic eagles In Scotia ud. Ills Planets, A young gentleman was passing an examination in physics.
