3 5 O** The Lontr Ago."
Oh 1 i? wonderfulatream is the river time ,
As it'runs through the realm of tears,
With a faultless rytbin and a musical rhyme,
And a broader sweep and a surge sublime
As it blonds in the ocean of years !
How the winters are drifting like flakes of snow
And the summers like birds between,
And the years in the sheaf, how they come and
[they go,
On the river's breast with its ebb and flow,
As it glides in the shadow and sheen !
There's a magical isle up the river Time,
Where the softost airs are playing ;
There's a cloudtoss sky and a tropical clinic,
And a song as sweet as a vesper chime,
And the Junes with the roses are straying.
And. the name of this isle is " Ike long ago,"
And we bury oar treasures tkcro;
There are brows of beauty and bosoms of snow,
There are heaps of dust?oh we loved them so?
And there arc trinkets and tresBes of hair
There arc fragments of songs that, nobody sings.
There are parts of an infants prayer ;
There's a lute unswept and a harp without
, [strings
There are broken vows and pieces of rings.
And the garments our dead used to wear!
There aro hands that arc waved when the fairy
shoro
By the mirage is lifted in air.
And we sometimes hear through the turbulent
roar,
Sweet voices wo hear in the days gone bdrore
When the wind down tire river was fair.
Oh I remembered for ago be that blessed isle
All the day of life until night;
And when evening glows with its bcautifu
smile.
And our eyes are closing-in slumber awhile,
May the green-wood of *ould be in sight.
Marriage Incidents.?A clergyma
in Glasgow used to relate the following : It
marrying a couple, he asked the bride, it
the usual form, whether she would be " t
loving, faithful, obedient wife ?" Tht
bride promptly roplicd that alio would bt
loving ana laitniui, nut would not vcntun
on a ptcdgc of uniform obedience The
minister paused and demurred. " Just saj
awa,""sir, ejaculated the bridegroom ; " she
lias promised to be lovia' and faithful, an
foul fa' thae fingers," raising his fist, '' gin
sbe's no obedient 1 " A similar narrative,
in whieh the bride proved the prevailing
pa:ty, was told by the late Dr. Maclean, oi
the, Uorbala, Glasgow. The reverend doc
tor, in marrying a couple, failed to obtain
any indication from the bridegroom as to
whether he would accept the bride as his
helpmate. After a considerable pause, the
bride, indignant at the stolidity of her in
tended husband, pushed dowu his head
with her hand, at the same time addressing
him aloud, " Carina ye boo (bow,) ye
brute !*' " A Paiscly bride, who was being
united to a stolid husDand, was, according
to the testimony of the Rev. Mr. M ,
who.<perforuieil the oercmony, more considerate
in her expressions. The bridegroom
having giveu no response to the question,
though dflcn repeated by the minister,
" Do you take this woman to be your mar
vied wife?" the bride broke in, "Deed
does -he, sir; he promises a' that ye re
quire I"
IIow to Make doon Butteu.?A ladj
experienced in making butter, communica
ted to the Winchester Virginian the following
receipt . "Before 1 go to milk .
put a kettle, say one third full of water
and large enough to let the milk pail i?t<
it, on the stove, where it will get bovlinj
hot by tile time t come in with the milk
1 then stain the milk into another vessel

pail, and set it into tho kettle of boilinj
water till tho milk becomes scalding hot
taking care not to let it Iboil; then pour i
into crocks or pans, and set it away in th
cellar, for the cream to rise in the usun
way. Cream produced in this way wil
seldom require more than twenty m in ate
to churn, while by common practice th
dairy maid may often churn fur .hours, an
then, perhaps, have to throw away, as
did before 1 became acquainted with th
Russian plan, the essential features c
which I have adopted in my ptcscnl modi
as givon above. Tho method is upplicabl
to all seasons?summer as well as winter.
Consumption of Wiuskey.?It a]
pears by official reports tbat the amount c
whiskey consumed annually for drinkin
purposes is estimated by the commission ;
averaging a gallou and a half per head t
tho whole population of the United State;
Largo as this may appear, it is shown tht
the consumption in Canada and the othc
British provinces reaches over one gallo
and a quarter per head, while in Russia
averages no less than two gallons to cac
man, woman and child of tho populatioi
In Great Britain, where the common pro
pie do not, in general, drink spirits, th
amount consumed annually varies froi
eight tenths to a gallon per capita. Bi
in that country beer is tho more unireTsa
ly popular beverage, and no less tha
22,000,000 barrels of ale and beer arc cor
sumod every year, whereas not more tha
five or six mi'lion barrels are produced i
tho United States.

A good lady who had two children sic

veocived the remedy for tho measles, an
the anxious mother of the sick childrc
read with horror tho following: "Seal

A western editor wishes to know whether
the law against carrying of deadly wea- ^
pons in tho pocket applies to doctors who ^
carry pills in their pockets.
At a printer's festival on Franklin's c

lar toast: "The editor and the lawyer? j
the devil is satisfied with tho copy of the ^
former, but requires the original of the t
latter." j
In marriage tho heart of a widow is like e
