Wilson. In 1848, in a fit of the blues be bid his p'retty wife and child good bye and started for California. Ills wife remained at her home near Acworth and received a few letters from him after he had arrived among the miners of California.

He came not, and she turned back into her cottage home with eyes wet fr.Ora weeping. The war ended and still no tidincs from her husband. * Suitors pleaded for her hand in marriage, but she declined to enter wedlock and kept sacred the memory of her first love. One day one of her-suitors found in a Califor nia paper the recorded death of her .husband. With this assurance she Consented te mariun the man who had been so kind to her in her trou bles. After living with her se'cond husband a few years she died and was placed at rest in the cetpetery,, where her husband erected a marble shaft oyer her grave, Last week a stranger 65 years old stopped at Acworth and ’’registered at the Litchfield House as R.

The Supreme, Court of PenrisjdVania passed upon a case,where the contracting parties were.Scventeen and sixteen years of age. ' The Philadephia Times says : “It was proyen .at the trial that the preacher had been deliberately de ceived by. the eloping eouple. and the deftmsk'Was based upon the act of 1SH, which was supposed to release tile parties celebrating the niarrai- age where the celebration did not take place in wilful violation of the original law. Roth the lower Court and the Supreme Court held that the minister was responsible and subject to the fine,’’, Not long ago, we saw it reported that a girl of 12 years Was married to a minor not much older, . without parental consent, and that the min ister who married them was aware of the legal and moral barrier. An example ; shOuld be made of all par ties to such urinatiura! and unlawful union. There can be no sanctity in such nuptials, and the solemn condi- tionof matrimony is brought into contempt,pleading to social disorder. There are some people, too, who are not conteut to marry in a regular way, but resort to eccentric methods that bring only notoriety. One freak of this kirid leads to many oth ers. The latest abdmihation is the 1 Ao-ca ! led rnarriagejiTs widow at the North to a man she never saw by telegraph,' A minister was found to perform the ceremony. The woman was punished; She had married a colored barber, who “announced bis determination to live on his wife’s Queer Conveyances. Some birds pre known to fly Tong’ distances carrying their young on their backs. Small birds take pass age across the Mediterranean Sea on the backs of larger aud stronger on es. They could not fly so far. Their strength would give out and the/ would drop in the water.. Along the noi them shore of, the sea, in au tumn, these little birds assemble to wait the coming of cyanes from the North, as people wait for the train at a railroad station. With the first cold blast the .cranes arrive, flock after flock. They utter A peculiar cry, as of warning or calling. It answers the same purpose as the ringing of the bell when the train is about to start. The small' birds un derstand it. They get ex<ited They hasten aboad, scrambling, for places. The first to come get the best seats. If the passengers are to many, some will have to flit back to the hedges till the next train. How they chatter good-byes—those who go and. those who stay. No tickets have they, but all the same, they are conveyed safely. Doubtless the great, birds like this warm covering' for their backs. In this way the Small bJrcJs- pay their fare. And it; is these last who must be out in the wet if it storms. The passerigers are of dif ferent specie,?,tike Americans, Irish, Germans, and Chinese travelling to gether in cars or steamships. Their journey takes them through the air, high above the wide sweep of wa ters. They are close companions on the way. By god bj^they reach the beautiful south country. There they build uefits and sing sweetly, as they build here and sing for ns in our happy summer time. Indeed, God cares for the sparrows, romni a<i.

The driver seized hi3 whip, bat boy winked at him. i TFaip in hand the driver dropped off the car to. make good his retreat, but as he grabbed for the rear railing he missed' it and sprawled in the street, while the horse jogged along at such a gait as made it necessary to run two blocks to overtake the ear. The boy meanwhile indulged in chuckles, grins,, cackles, guffaws and gyration, but as the driver got within ten feet of the car he walked in, deposite! his tare iu the box, and came out to cooly observe: “I’m a passenger now; and you larrup me if you want the company sued for $10,000 damages?” The driver didn't.

I MHi We were asked the other day by one of our most prominent merchants; why it was that when a woman washed her lace, she first took up the water in the palm of her hands and then throw it back in the basin, after which she rubbed her face with a downward stroke with the wet hands; while a man carried the water to his face with his hands, and sloshed it aronnd generally, We told him that he was too hard for us and that if suoh was the fact even; we were riot aware of it. Hesaiait was a fact, and ob servation since has shown us that he was correct in his statement.
