ti::;y wr.iu: oi.d. There wis a p< inewhnt venerable but very happy couple in the city Saturday on their wedding trip. though the ousnal observer would hardly luvve Kxispeeted tho latter fact. They left en tho hxn.dng train at 3 oVUn k for their homo in Washtenaw county. The incide nts which led to tho union of thin eoitj.le so late in lifo xvero Rotjxcwh vt oxtruor littuxy and not altogothor without a lttxlo of romance. It scents that the old gentleman, Otvwon Joseph Place, who is now xtpwtrd of 70 years of age, took it into his head last Fall to go ton a short visit to the home of his childhood in "V 11 - 1 * new ntunputnro. no luul boon for some yours :\ widower, and his children had arrived at man's and woman's estate, and gone out to seok their own fortunes in tho world. As ho had more property than ho wis likvly to spend in the short remnant of his life which remained, and as ho had plenty ot leisure on his hands, nothing was more natural than that he should break tho monotony of his life with a little pleasure trip. So he sot out for Now England. As fortuno would h.tva it. before he luul quite reached tho place of his destination a slight accident happened to the train, by which it was delayed on hour or so. The doacon got out of the ear and looked about, and the hills and rocks, which had been stranger* t ? Ids eves for so many yours almost renewed his youth.

Hoih had traveled a long way down life's journey since they had parted, and both had lost their consort What niore natural than that they shoul l t Ik ov r old times? And speaking of these things the scenes and incidents of early life rose vividly before them j and what move natural than that, there should Fp' ing from this revival the old love, kindled anew, and that it should burn into a bright flame ? Such was the oosc. All this did net t run spir ? at the single visit, but thooldnvan Kn < r -d in the neighborhood, and it scon b'.came apparent that tho lady was, the strong attraction which drew him thither. The result was that, bofore tho <h-icon returned to bis Michigan home, they plighted their troth anew, and the old man came back happy as a lark, ancl thanking Providence lor tho rail-road accident. which gave him a new lease of life and life's joys. Aft a few moths ho went back to claim his bride, the happy event was consummated, and on Saturday tho venerable couple passed through the city on their way home. "LONK .1 VCIl." The following ancient, quaint, and olevor account of tv.o origu of tit:.-, famous brand of smokiug tobacco appears in the Harvard Tho reader who would enjoy it perfectly this Sunday morning must talco down his meerschaum, rub it kindly with liia silk handkerchief, in.' it a fresh wcixel, fill the creamy bowl with feathery flakes of truo Virginia, mid road and puff and smile as he must: "There is a kind of tolmcco vcrio good called 'Lone Jack,' and how it came to bo boo called was on this wise: King James 11. did greatly dislilro ye smoking of tobacco, holding it to bo ft grievyous synno, whereat it did seem to some waggo in Vyrginie a good jest to st.unp upouno his tobacco ye Kyngo's face, with a pipe in hya mouthe.

'* AN ORGAN W IT If A WlJ.t OF ITS OWN. The good people of n certain country villiago in Indiana hungered and thirsted for nn organ to ass "at in the church services; but as they could not a (lord to hiro an organist, they brought a Eelf-operating inBtruinent warranted to grind out forty tunes ofareligious cast. The musical instrument ^rasplaced mpositi >n for tho next Sunday, The sexton was instructed how to set it going, and how to stop it, but unfortunately forgot the latter part ol bis business; and after singing tho first four verses of n hymn before the sermon, tho organ could not bo stoppe I, but continued playing twe versos more; then just as the clergyiuan completed tlio words, "Lot U3 pray," the organ again clicked and started anotlici tunc. The sexton ami others continued their exertions to Jind tho spring, but nc one could put a stop to it ; so they got four of tho stoutest men in the church tc shoulder the perversa instrument, and they carried it down the aisle of the church, pi 'ng away, into the churchyard, where i .Mitinued < licking and playing until tho whole forty t ines wore finished.
