John Martin, a well-to-do contractor of Paterson, N. J.. met Annie Tan Dorn, of Passaic, in 1892, and in less than a month they were engaged. Martin betrayed the young woman's confidence, but he promised to right the wrong he had done. When they talked over the wedding, Martin said he would have his cousin, John Dun- can, of Brooklyn, act as best man. The next night he visited the home of Rev. Geo. M. Dorwart, rector of the Church of the Holy Communion, and arranged for the wedding to take place on the following night. This was on Sept. 4, 1892, and the next day brought Duncan from Brooklyn. The cousins resemble each other in height and feature. When they got together there is reason to believe Martin told Duncan of his love episode, and said it was his desire to get rid of the woman, • but how should he do it? Duncan said he would marry her himself. • It was agreed that Duncan should he the groom and that they should drug the bride—at Least, that is an appar- ently well-founded presumption, That night they set out froin that city for Passaic in a coach, and got Miss Van Dorn. Un the way back Martin stopped the carriage at a hotel and brought out drinks for all. When they reached the parsonage Miss Van Dorn complained of feeling ill. She says she felt "as if her senses had left her." She cannot recollect even to this day, she says, what was said and done at the minister's home. She knows she was married, and that is all. Martin returned home with her after the ceremony, and they lived together for severalmonths. One day lie had a quarrel with her, and told her he was not her husband and never mar- ried her. He added that the marriage certificate, which she had not looked at since it was given to her by the of- ficiating clergyman, would disclose who her husband was. She hastily searched for the certificate, and, to her astonishment, found she was'married to a man named; John Powers, and that Martin was only a witness. - Martin told her that during the cere- mony, Duncan,• his cousin,. had taken his, place at her side, and gave his name to the rector as John Powers -"it was done so quick no one ,knew the differ- ence," Martin then deserted her. A few days ago Miss Van Dorn re- tained counsel, and on Saturday had Martin arrested and arraigned before justice Senior on a charge of conspir- acy, He was released under $1,000 bail. The Rev. Mr Dorwart remembers the wedding and says he noticed no- thing unusual in the action of the par- ticipants. He was not aware that the men had changed places.

It is not necessary to belittle one man, even by implication, to present another in his just proportions. One reason why some people find it so hard to lead a Christian life is be- cause they devote so little time to it. A holy life has a voice; it speaks when the tongue is silent, and it is either a constant attraction or a per- petual reproof. Minard's Liniment relieves Neuralgia. The world may not understand God's rebukes, or may put an unkind con- struction upon them; his children can. not, for they know "God is love." Every single action of our life carries in its train either a reward or'a' pun- ishment, however little disposed we are to admit that such is the case. - Minard's Liniment cures Burn Do to -day's duty, fight to -day's temptation. Do not weaken and dis- tract yourself looking forward to things you cannot see, and could not nnderstand if you saw. God gave man the power to choose between good and evil, and intended him to choose. Tie might have made a man without the power to lid evil, but that would have struck good from the calendar of the universe. THE JUDGE USED TO KNOW, At a criminal trial an hotel propriet• or, while giving evidence respecting a robbery that had taken place within his establishment, . stated that the prisoner entered the bar and ordered a 'tap of whisky." The judge, not considering it con- sistent with judicial dignity to affect to know the modest measure alluded to was, asked; "What is a nip?" The witness smiled and remarked: "Eh, my lord, you once knew well what a 'nip' was, for many a one have you called for and drunk in my hotel when you was an advocate," The Bench did not further press for a definition of the term "nip.' MF WHO WERE GREAT BEATERS. The "glutton of Ben" Fuller places among his worthies, who devoured at a single meal "fourscore rabbits and eighteen black puddings, London mea- sure." Coming down to more recent times, there is the probably apocryphal 'story of a Scotsman who ate a solan goose by way of a whet for dinner, and of a Welsh nobleman who devour- ed a covey of partridges for breakfast every morning. There is also a well known legend, which found its way into Punch. of a certain eminent poli- tician who entered an eating house near the Old Bailey, and, after putting away seven pounds and a half of cold boiled beef, observed cheerfully to the landlord, "Capital beef, this! One may cut and come again here." To which the landlord, regarding him grimly, made reply, "Sir, you may out, but I'm d—d if you shall come again," We are tempted to add one more story, which we believe has not as yet found its way into print. On the Der- by Day, a few years ago, a well-known man of business—let us call him Mr X.—went down toEpsom with the rest of the world, and, atter the great race was over, bethought himself of lunch. It was then four o'clock, and he was ravenously hungry. Seeing no friend- ly coach or carriage at hand, he enter- ed one ofl the refreshment booths, where a three -and -sixpenny meal was provided for all comers. He attacked some ribs of beef, and soon cleared them to the bone; then he "went for" a chicken, which also disappeared; fin- ally he espied a pigeon pie at the other end of the table, which had not yet been touched, and ordered the waiter to bring it to him. But the waiter, after a whispered conference with an individual in black, who had been observing Mr X's performance with suspicion and alarm, carne and said cont dentially; "If you please, sir, the governor says as how he won't charge you no- thing for an ing, if you'll go away at once." Mr X., how er, insisted on his rights. and declined this obliging offer; then he proceeded to make a vigorous onslaught on the pigeon pie.

THE PLAN WAS - ABANDONED:' A story is told in the English papers of a busy and advanced clergyman in London,. who used the phonograph to aid him in his pastoral duties. It hap- pened that the unfortunate clergyman was overworked, having charge of two parishes. It occurred to him that by preaching his discourse into the phono- graph on. Saturday it could be "ground out' by an assistant on Sunday after- noon to one congregation, relieving him of the otherwise necessary obliga- tion of delivering two discourses. '1'he scheme was given a trial and proved satisfactory. One Saturday morning the clergyman delivered his discourse for the following day into the funnel of the phonograph, not, however,with- out interruption. Everything went along smbothly at the service the next afternoon, the congregation becoming very much interested in the discourse of Moses, til the phonograph repeat- ed the p. 's words i,I a loud voice, "And whr id Moses say to the chil- dren of Israel?" A short silence only served to make the congregation the more eager to catch the Biblical ans- wer to this question,when, to the utter surprise of all assembled, the beloved voice of their pastor ground out ; "Tell the genteman to call again—I'm out." NO SENSE OF HUMOR. The educators out at Wichita don't seem to have much fun in their make up. A boy in the school wrote the following composition on "Pants," and was suspended:—"Pants are made for men, and not men for pants. Pants are like molasses; they are thinner in hot weather and thicker in cold. The man in the moon changes his pants , firing the eclipse. Don't you go to the pantry for pants, you might be mistaken. Men are often mistaken in pants. Such mistakes makes breeches of promise. There has been much dis- cussion as to whether pants is singular or plural. Seems to us when men wear pants they are plural, and when they don't it is singular. Men go on a tear in pants, and it is all right; but when the pants go on a tear it is all wrong." A. child was cured of croup by a dose or two of Ayer'a Cherry Pectoral. A neigh- bor's child died of the same dread disease, while the father was getting ready to call the doctor. This shows the necessity of having Ayer's Cherry Peotoral alwayslat hand. COMPLIMENTARY. Mrs Newsome invited youn IMrs Smith to step in to dinner.

Beggar (who has just received a nicker Thanks kind sir. I'll do my best for'`you. Mr Bountiful --What can you do for me? Beggar --I'll recommend .you to my friends. After the Shah of Persia had gone home from visiting Queen Victoria, it required a month's housecleaning, more or leas, to renovate the palaces which he graced with his august but piggish presence. His idea of cleanli- ness did not 'at all agree with the standard of Western barbarism. In brief, the palaces were a sight to be- hold, and many articles he had used were thrown away altogether, `that being the most satisfactory way to dis- pose of them. This may be partially explained by the fact that under the Persian constitution the ruler of the land is forbidden to leave the soil of his country. This difficulty is got over When the Shah wishes to go among western barbarians for a lark, however. A trunkful or two of the sacred soil of Persia is carted around the world with the old fellow, and some of it is always placed in his shoes. People, noticed that the Shah could not walk very will. "Mon 1 was a Boy:" Writes Postmaster J. C. WOODSON, Forest Hill, W. Va., "I had a bron- chial trouble of such a persistent and stubborn character, that the doctor pronounced. it incurable with ordinary medicines, and advised Inc to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I did so, and one bottle cured me. For the last fifteen years, I have used this preparation with good effect whenever I take A Bad Cold, and I know of numbers of people who keep it in the house all the time. not considering it safe to be with- out it." "I have been using Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in my family for 30 years, with the most satisfactory results, and can cheerfully recommend it as being espe- cially adapted to all pulmonary com- plaints. I have, for many years, made pulmonary and other medicines a special study, and I have come to the conclusion that Ayer's Cherry Pectoral occupies a -position 'pre:etulfrient over "'otber medi- cines of the class."—Chas.
