|Iuma*ous grpai'trarut. A PERPLEXED BRIDEGROOM. Some days since a very rustic and inartistic couple, residents of Kentucky, near the Tennessee line, concluded marriage to be their destiuy, and with this idea, came to the Western Athens, desirous of sac?i6cing themselves to Hymen at the earliest opportunity In due time they arrived in t'lis city, and repairing to the Spencer House, informed clerk Andrew Blum that they were extremely intent on perpetrating matrimony, and that nothing could thwart their purpose. Mr. Blum, so far from wishing to prevent their amiable immolation, made every effort to iL -_ j : i 11 ? iaeuiiauj tueir ut^igu, auu su wwii uiu uc auuceed, that in less than an hour "James" and "Jemima" were wedded as firmly as lay in the capacity of a clergyman to bind them. The clerk, after the ceremony had been performed, believing that all new married people ought to be as well accommodated as possible, gave them a parlor and bed room on the third floor, and bade them "good eveniug" about ten o'clock, not neglecting to wish them every possible bliss. The twain meekly followed the servant to the rooms, aud were left alone there for the night; the clerk thinking no more of them until about 2 o'clock, when, sitting dozing in an easy chair behind the counter in the office, he was aroused by a voice saying: "Look here, Mr. Clerk, oh, Mr. Clerk, I'd like to speak to you just a minit, and now." Mr. Blum opened his eyes, and beheld his rustic frieud, hatless and coatless, with a flushed face aud dishevelled hair, and such generally disarranged attire as indicated that he had been undergoing some very violent exercise. "Well, sir, of what benefit can I be to you ?" "Why, why, I didu't like to trouble you anil I don't know how you fellows does things in this big town ; but, but, " "But what ? my good friend," questioned the clerk, anxious to free the ruralist from his confusion, each moment on the increase. "Why, why, you know we're married?Jemima and me." "Oh, yes, and I wish you all raauner of good fortune, my 6ne fellow." "Wal, I 'spose you do, but confound if I can get the hang of things in this darned place. May be I'm green ; I guess I am sort o' that way ; by jingoes, you do funny here." "Explain, if you please, ray man. What do you wish to say ?" "We don't care, Jemima and me, for a little while, but to roll ou the floor all night, it's devilish hard stranger, I'll swear it is." "Roll round on the floor, what do you mean ?" "Well, I 'spose it isn't what you call fashionable in a big town ; but by gumbo where we come from, married people allers goes to bed." "Haven't you been in bed?" asked the clerk in great surprise. "Why, how the devil could we go to bed when there wern't no bed to go to ? That's what we want the worst sort." "My good fellow, there's a bed in your room. Did you not see it in your chamber in the rear of the parlor?" "Did you give us mor'an one room, stranger ? By jingoes, I didn't know it. It's all 1 want?all right, old feller and so saying he rau up stairs, and before the clerk could ascend to the chamber, the bucolic was io bed, and replied to the knock on the door: "All right now; I've found it ? Jemima and me are satisfied. We don't want vou, all right. God bless you, old fellow. All right? fust-rate, God bless you ; good night." Mr. Blum went chuckling down to the office at the idea that the unfortuuate rural ist had passed four hours in his parlor without even supposing that there was a bedchamber attached. Poor simpleton; no wonder he was embarrassed and troubled?under the circumstances. Hardly a Hero.?A colored individual whose left arm was missing was soliciting a small loan ob Griswold Street, Detroit, and in recommendation of himself he stated that he lost his arm after the fight in the Wilderness. "Was it in the fight ?" "No, sah ; it was after de fight. Dat war a powerful hot time I tell ye. De balls flew aroun' like snow flakes, de cannons roared, an' I spected to be killed for a hull half day." Rnf mil u*ora nnf kif 9" jl/uv j uu n vi v uv/w uiv I "No, sah ; I 'spected to be, but I wasn't. "But how did you lose your arm ?" "I lost it arterde battle, sah." "Under what circumstances ?" "Waal, sah, all de circumstances I eber heard of was dat I had it cut off wid a buzzsaw." "When ?" "Two y'ars ago, sah." "Aud you call this losing your arm after the battle of the Wilderness ?" "Yes sah. I'ze hard up, sah, but I doan' want to lie to you. If I'd lost it befo' de battle I'd say so, but it was arter de battle." "Well, I guess it was," said the man after a long pause, and he went down for a dime. A waiter entering the room of one of the guests in the morning to take him his boots, asked him if he slept well during the night. "Slept well! Sleep was impossible. A mouse in the room kept up a frightful racket all nightlong !" "Boots" swore up and down that it was the first mouse that had ever been heard on the premises, and was profuse iu his attempts to account for it. "Oh ! never mind," said the guest. "I can never sleep the first night in a strange bee', anyway, and the mouse amused me while I lay awake." A while afterward the stranger called for his bill, aud in it read : "Bed room, eight francs." "Eight francs for that dirty little hole! That's outrageously steep." "Steep!" exclaimed vhe host, "has the gentleman forgotten the little mouse that amused him so much during the night?" StaT An Irishmau, being very fond of cool milk for his dinner, his wife always kept it in the spring iu a large bowl. One day a frog concluded to take quarters in the bowl, it being just deep enough to hide him. Dinner came on, and the old woman put the bowl before the old man, not dreaming of a frog being in it. The old man went on enjoyiag his milk and bread as usual, until he drank it so low as to make the frog visible, when he exclaimed : "Faith and be iabers. old omern. what's this in me milk ?" "0, nothing, John, but a bit of a mote." "Och, go away with your motes, when it's sitting on its all fours, gazing me in the eyes." Sx?r "Well I declare," said a stranger the other day, as he looked at a Roman's boots, "when they were dealing out feet they were pretty liberal with you, waren'l, they ?" "Yes," replied the Roman, "they seem to have been more liberal with me in that particular than they were with you when dealing out brains." The stranger turned red in the face and wafk- j ed off. He has not been seen since, and it is i presumed he has hidden himself away to meditate privately on physiological extremities and the anatomy of cute remarks. t&F Quite a number of darkies, young and old, were fishing down on Kuhn's wharf yesterday, when a boy of about twelve fell off,! and would have met with a watery grave had it not been for the energy ?.nd presence of mind of old Uncle Mose. After the boy was safely landed a bystander took occasion to j ^praise old Mose for the heroism he had dis-1 played. "Is the boy your son ?" asked the : sympathetic spectator. "No, boss, but he j rnout jess as well a been, hie had all the j bait in his pocket."?Galveston New, ?br <fam and Jirrsidt. COFFEE MAKING. If there is anything which people think they can make, and don't make, that thing is coffee.- When the peculiar old man in Arabia first found out how to make Mocha, he oracularly said (you will find it pharaphrased in the Koran,) "Source of joy and bitterness: consoler of man and bane of woman." All that this man meant was, that since ninety-nine women in a hundred did not not know how to make coffee, the brewing of it would bring trouble to them in reproaches from the men. Now Miss Juliett Carson very kindly comes forward in defence of her sex, and is willing to tell how coffee is made. We recommend most particularly the receipt which is called "Coffee with a Stick." It is perfectly possible to make the lest coffee in this way, providing there is coffee, a pot, stick and hot water, Having tasted coffee made with a stick we declare it to l)e admirable. We are sure that this Summer many of our readers, when in the woods, will make their coffee "with a stick," and will thank Miss Carson f)r having added to tneir comiorts. May we as simple commentators on coffee, say that Turkish coffee is excellent. There is a very stupid prejudice against the grains in coffee. Just you take, reader, some day, any little copper vessel which will stand tire and will hold about half a glass of water, and pounding your coffee as tine sis you can get it, adding a lump or so of sugar, put in your water and brine up quickly to the boil, then let it stand a minute and drink it. Xow tell me if it is not barbarous, but good ? A few coffee grounds do no harm. Turks deem the sediment an admirable tonic, and thus drink it in Stamboul. The best coffee is a hot, clear, fragrant infusion, aromatic and exhilarating. It can be made in any rather deep vessel; either a coffee pot, a tin pail an earthen pitcher or an iron pot will answer the purpose, always providing the utensil is clean. Intense heat is required to develop all the vain ible proi>erties of the berry, but actual boiling' dissipates its delicate volatile oil and extracts its tannic acid ; the action of this acid upon the cream or milk generally used with coffee is to harden their albumen into an indigestible compound, which irritates the sensitive membranes of the digestive organs. The strength of coffee must be decided by taste. One ounce, or two heaping table-spoonfuls, of ground coffee will make a quart of pleasant well flavored beverage, suitable for breakfast. Cafe noir, or black coffee, used after dinner, requires a cupful of water. Gloria, or burnt coffee, needs a like proportion of coffee and water. French coffee, as served on the continent, requires six ounces of coffee to each quart of water, and the addition of three quarters of an ounce of chicory. Below we give receipts for all these bevereges: uonee wnn a suck?nave reauy me quantity of water actually boiling; if you use a pitcher, heat the coffee in a frying pan, stirring It over the fire one minute. If you use a pot or pail, heat the coffee the same length of time in that. For one quart of water use two heaping tablespoonfuls of ground coffee. When the coffee is hot, pour the boiling water upon it and stir it with a stick or spoon for one minute; let it stand by the side of the fire where it will keep hot, but not boil, for one minute; then stir again for one minute ; keep it by the fire for two minutes to let it settle, and then pour it into cups carefully" enough to leave the grounds at the bottom of the vessel. The object of stirring is to thoroughly saturate the coffee with the boiling water, so that the grounds will sink to the bottom with their own weight. Cafe Noir?Proceed as above, allowing one cupful of coffee to each quart of boiling water; if you use a coffee pot with a percolator, or strainer, put the coffee into that and pour the boiling water through it gradually; let it stand near the fire while you are pouring in the water, do not stir or shake the coffee pot, and serve the coffee as soon as you have added all the water. Gloria?Make the same as cafe noir; sweetj en it almost to a syrup, and pour a little i branny into eacn cup over tue oowi 01 a spuon, set it on fire, and when it is half consumed, blow out the flame and drink the coffee. French Coffee?Stir together over the lire six ounces of coffee and three-quarters of an ounce of chicory until hot; pour over it one quart of boiling water, set it by the side of the water for ten minutes, and then serve it with milk and sugar. New Treatment of Cancer.?The London Lancet gives some particulars of investigations at Queen's Hospital, Birmingham, by Dr. John Clay, touching a new method of treating cancer. A study of the pathology of cancer led him to the opinion that a carbohydrate of some kind might prove beneficial, and for several reasons he decided that Chian turpentine might prove the most suitable. Mr. Clay rejtorts several cases in which remarkable benefit evidently resulted, with every prospect of permanent cure. The new remedy was administered in pills as follows : Chian turpentine, six grains; flowers of sulphur, four grains; to be made into two pills, to be taken every four hours. In a case where the turpentine could not be digested in pills, it was made into an emulsion. An ethereal solution of Chian turpentine was prepared by dissolving one ounce of turpentine in two ounces of pure sulphuric ether (amesthetic). Of this solution, one-half ounce; solution of tragacanth, four ounces; syrup, one ounce; flowers of sulphur, forty grains; water, sixteen ounces; one ounce three times daily. The maximum dose of the Chian turpentine which can be safely and continuously given is twenty-five grains daily. It is advisable to discontinue the remedy for a few days after ten or twelve weeks' constant administration, and then to resume it as before. Commenting on the effects of the new medicine, Dr. Clay says : "The turpentine appears to act upon the periphery of the growtli with great vigor, causing the speedy disappearance of what is usually termed the cancerous infiltration, and thereby arresting the further development of the tumor. It produces equally efficient results on the whole mass, seemingly destroying its vitality, but more slowly. It appears to dissolve all the cancer cells, leaving the vessel to become subsequently atrophied, and the firmer structures gradually to gain a comparatively normal condition. It is a most efficient anodyne, causing an entire cessation of pain in a few days, and far more effectually than any sedative that I have ever given. In the cases I have described no sedative was employed in any instance, although in some cases where great pain had existed previously to commencing the treatment, large doses had been given. Whether this arrest of pain arises from the death of the tumor, or is due to there being no longer irritation of the sentient nerves (in consequence of tension being withdrawn by the removal of the cells), the fact is the same." Watering Gardens?In the summer drouths which now and then occur, it is common to see i>ersons everywhere at work watering the gardens to keep things alive until the regular rains come. It is, however, the experience of all that the more a garden is watered the more it wants, and thus on the whole it does little good. Yet water can be so given as to be free from this objection. It is the hardening cf the surface which causes the evil, and a hard compact surface always dries out faster than a loose one. The proper [ way is to take the earth away for a few inches around the plant to be watered, so as to make a sort of basin, and into this pour the water, letting it gradually soak away. After it lias all disappeared and the surface getsa little dry, then draw the earth back again which lias been displaced to make the basin. This will make loose surface over the watered part, which will preserve it from drying out rapidly. Tomatoes, egg plants, cabbages and other things of this character, watered in this way, will need no renewal of water for several weeks. It is a slow way of getting work done, but is j the only sure way of doing it. The Turpentine Remedy.?An aged physician in Washington, who is retired from practice, a man of extensive learning and high character, says that the younger practitioners laugh at him for recommending turpentine as a remedy for disease of the lungs. He con- j tends that they have nothing better to suggest;! indeedj they have no remedy for consumption. I He claims that in twenty-seven clear cases of j throat disease the use of this remedy under his 1 own direction has restored several parties to j fair health, one of these being his own wife and another being a man who, from being unable to sit or to lie in a prostrate position, has been for live years past doing engineer's work in the Treasury. The remedy is simple: Procure at a drug store some white turpentine; take in the mouth i a bit the size of a pea; swallow the slowly dissolving substance, and when it is quite soft swallow the lump. The same remedy is excellent for a cold. This medicine is an old one, I not at variance, however, with the modern j notion of sending patients tQ piny regions to inhale turpentine odors. 1 IpSttJIaiiMws grading. THE BALLOTS. An analysis of the first and second ballots at the Cincinnati Convention is interesting, as showing the forces operating in the selection of the candidate. On the first ballot, omitting the 10 votes of Kansas for Ewing, 81 votes (70 of them from New York) for Payne, and 30 scattering votes, the vote was as fob lows: n i i : J i : c p ' : " 5 w a "S States. | p n : ? g ? 1 s 5 2 "g 1 -p g 2 j o o? j? i cs ? k ph ? a 1 h ; a Alabama, i.. 7 5 .. ! 1 I 7 Arkanstis, 1 12 .. ? ! ; ! ?

General Hancock had only 84 votes from the South, being less than one half of his entire vote. His strength lay in the habitually Republican States. This had a deci ded effect in turning to him the votes of Southern delegates, who were apprehensive that any candidate evidently selected by the South would have a heavy weight to carry. The second ballot, before the changes which nominated Hancock were made, stood as follows : ! :! :i : I : : ! : :l ' : |-ii ; : ; States. : i.g!s! I s U> !

Of the 7351 votes cast for him, only 274 votes were from the South. Gen. Hancock cannot, therefore be set down as a Southern candidate, dictated to or forced upon the Convention by the South. It was his popularity in Republican States which gave him the start, and it was his record as a soldier during the war and as a patriot after the war that made the South glad to support him.? News and Courier. Senators Who are Not Rich.?It must not be imagined that General Gordon stood alone in being unable to wear Senatorial powers easily. Almost every Senator holds his seat at the sacrifice of his peace of mind, and if he were to die would leave his family scantily cared.for. Mr. Lamar is a poor man, in the literal sense of the word. Mr. Ransom is quite as poor, Senator Hampton is hardly able to maintain himself, and General Butler is hardly as easy as Hampton. Senator Garlaud has little else but his salary, and Vance, Harris and Morgan are in the same fix. Senators Davis, of West Virginia, and Beck, of Kentucky, are the ouly Southern Senators who may be called iudependeut in circumstances. The Northern Senators, on the contrary, are rich almost without exception.? Atlanta Constitution.

IIow can they for whom no sacrifice has been accepted, joy that God knows their lives and reads the guilty secrets of their unrenewed hearts? Joy in Him I No; rather would they hide from His presence, and seek with morning wing to fly from Him, and find in remotest parts of earth or sea, or even in hell, some spot where that eye could not search them ont. They cannot rejoice in mercy that is rejected, nor in the truth that exposes, nor in the justice that condemns nor in judgment that is but the execution of the wrathful sentence. Ah ! there is 110 such thing as a loving Deism, and if you analyze carefully what passes for it, you will fiud that it is only Atheistic hate. Tliey rejoice not in God, as he is but a false God of their own corrupt imaginations, from whose throne justice has fled, and in whose moral government judgment is unknown. Such is not our God, to whom we look un and sav: "Thou sittest 011 hiirh and measurest doctrines, and days and months, and wide revolving years; and doest according to Thy Holy will, and none can stay Thy hand and none withhold Thy glory, for in judgment Thou, as well as Mercy, art exalted." IIow different God is from what many picture him to be, the sufferings and death of Jesus fully reveal. It is by Christ we have now received the atonement, therefore we rejoice in his unmeasured goodness; in his truth, 011 whose eternal foundation we have built; in a justice that being satisfied demands our release, in a judgment that has displayed the majesty of His law and the exceeding glory of His name. This joy is only "through our Lord Jesus Christ." There is 110 rejoicing in God, only through his Son. Every prayer must l>e offered in the name of the Son. Every expression of praise 011 earth and in heaven must lie offered through the name of that Mediator who directs the universe, governs the nations, is worshipped of angels, and stands between God and man, combining in his glorious i>ersouality the jierfections of Deity and the impulses of our exalted humanity. He has effected reconciliation between offending man and offended majesty. No more are his ransomed under a cloud whose hot lightnings print on its threatening breast, "obey and live," and whose hoarse thunder mutters, "Thou shalt surely die." They stand in the clear light of a dispensation of grace, and read in the golden bow of promise the inspiring words, "I am the end of the law for righteousness to every one thatbelieveth," while a voice is heard coming from the far-off Heaven, "Believe and live." It is said that a captive Persian once asked of a Moslem Caliph that he might be permitted to drink a cup of water before his execution. The promise was criven. He took the cum and lookimr at the drawn swords of the enemy, began to tremble. The Caliph sought to allay his fears, and said? "Thou may'st quench thy thirst securely, for thou shalt not die before Thou hast drunk this cup of water,?this reprieve is thine?no more." The Satrap instantly dashed the goblet to the earth, and claimed the word of the monarch as the pledge of life. The Caliph was amazed, and said? "Bring another cup and straightway to the noble Persian give. Drink, I said before, and perish?now I bid thee drink and live." If such faith was put in the promise of man, shall we not believe the promise of God ?? Christian Instructor. What a Glass of Wine Did.?The Duke of Orleans was the eldest son of King Louis Phillipe, and the inheritor of whatever rights his father could transmit. He was a noble young man?physically noble. Ilis generous qualities had made him universally i>opular. One morning he invited a few of his companions to breakfast, as he was about to depart from Paris to join his regiment. In the conviviality of the hour, he drank a little too much wine. He did not become intoxicated ; lie was not in any respect a dissipated man. Ilis character was lofty and noble. But in that joyous hour he drank just one glass too much. In taking the parting glass he slightly lost the balance of his liody and mind. Bidding adieu to his companions, he entered his carriage; but for that one glass of wine he would have kept his seat. He leaped from his carriage ; but for that one glass of wine he would have alighted on his feet. His head struck the pavement. Senseless and bleeding, lie was taken into a beer, shop near by and died. That extra glass of wine overtlirew the Orleans dynasty, confiscated their property of $100,000,000, and sent the whole family into exile.?London Primitive Methodist. &"Of all things, don't fall into the conventional way of talking religion just as a rich man jingles coin in his pocket. When I was a boy I used to like to stand by those prosperous men of big proportions, with their hands down in their pockets this way?jingle, jingle, jingle. I see men rattling and jingling their Christian experience everywhere, talking to everybody just alike?"Well, my friend, how is your soul to-day ?" "What is the state of your feelings to-day ?" "How are you getting along?" "How is the Kingdom to-day?" All this is exceedingly distasteful to me. It ought not to be a familiar matter. Stealing into a person as the sweet wind of summer, we only know it is there by its fragrance. Talk to a man from the feeling that seems deeper than words; when the heavens seem to stretch wider. Let that feeling radiate itself into other people and God will bless it and give you power. ? Meditate long, meditate humbly on what it is to have a Creator, and comfort will come at last. If broad daylight should never be yours on this side the grave, he will hold your feet in the twilight that they shall not stumble, and at last, with all the more love, and all the more speed as well, he will fold you to his bosom, who is himself the Light Eternal. F. W. Faber. 3^? Nothing doth so establish the mind amidst the rollings and turbulency of present things, as both a look above them and a look beyond them ; above them, to the steady and good hand by which they are ruled ; and beyond them, to the sweet and beautiful end to which by that hand they shall be brought.? Leighton. fgr Whatever you do, do it well. The slighting of a task because it is apparently unimportant leads to habitual neglect, so that men and women degenerate insensibly into bad workers. Training the hand and eye to do the work well leads persons to form correct habits in other respects, and a good workman is, in most respects, a good citizen. The sowing time may be a season of discouragement ; hard ploughing in breaking up the fallow ground, or perhaps a wide scattering of the precious seed of the kingdom by the wayside, or among the thorns or the rocks, very little seeming to fall upon good ground ; but sure stands the word or tne i^oru, "ire giveth the increase." f$!"
