Maggie aud Clairnmie are marrie And so dear is each of them to the poop among whom they have lived, that t 'wedding suggested to me the one deserib " Aurora Leigh." No maiden On Murr • Hill ever had a greater member of we welshers, and the great big °hurrah down BoutliTifth avenue was crowded with t people who knew Maggie, who knew Chi male, or who knew aboet them. •A reemennew den WEDDING. Twin sure, some of them came not attir in wedding garments, and perhaps y Isvouldeit have thought it quite good sty for the policernanof the beat to act the pa of the father; but if you know anythi about the other side, you would understa that this was a great honor. The guar ian of the peace said to me : "I ain't my doin' this for nobody but me own blood •b fore, but Mag, shear such a good girl, an many s the time she's said to me : "Oh,D1 Finnegan, don't run her in; try an • saber her up ; suppose it was a girl of yo own' ' and, Mists, she'd gee around me i thatway that we would try and hel straighten whoever was crooked, and used to go down to the Inspector, and I' say, 'Confound your Parkhurst, and th spytng and lying, ono good woman, wh •don't run religion like dynamite is an ang in theprecinct.' And the Inspector, who the cleverest mart in the world, yes Mis by your nod I'm glad to see you think so 'used to say to me, `Finnegan, you've got 1 fine.'" After this I sailed, for nothing els can expresa the way Ievalked up the site on the arm of the bran -buttoned, kind hearted Irishman, who towered over m about three feet. It as ridiculous to sa that I looked dignified, for I did not, but a ly Maggie's request, I was like McGinty " dressed in my best suit of clothes, the congregation was satisfied. rasa put in a front pew. Th next arrival who was given that hono was Billy, in his Sunday clothes, with 'mysterious package that might have bee :some dreadful explosive, but which, whe it was unwrapped and Tab on the seat Showed that it was my own dog, with .huge white ribbon bow on him. Billy fel that he ought to be them, and he wa atirsid if he brought him openly that th sexton would stop him at the door. We a sat in silence for a while in the dim, dar rchurchs Then a little altar boy began t light the candles, and then I sew what profusion of flowers, especially of lilies were on the altar, and Billy whispered t me, " Every one ot them, miss, is a prayer Every one of them tells of Bome kindnes that Maggie has done; the neighbors the have been bringing them to Isadore and m educe yesterday morning, and there wasn' one of them ao poor or so bad that didn' fetch a flower because of their love fo siLlag and to the glory of Gawd." Ammo oe THE BRIDAL PARTIC. in a little while there was a sound of xnusic, and I realized that Isadore had been successful in perauading his cousin, who plays at a temple uptown, to come down .and play in the church where the other side :most do congregate. There was a buzzing and a whispering; then there was a silence, mewl then Maggie, on the arm of a police- man, walked up the aisle. Maggieherself, nnd yet Maggie idealized so that she seemed the very spirit of love. She wore a white •stuff dress, a tulle veil, and a wreath of aerange blossoms. See might have had a Tuner gown, but the charm of this one was that alio bought it and made ib herself. At the altar she was met by Chimmie, and if -his costume wasn't just what good forrn essronld demand, he was so brimming over asith happiness that all you could think of swore his clear eyes and his manly look. And these two were made man and wife, andthey swore to love each other through poverty and riches, through sickness and health. 'UNTIL DEATH DID THEM PART. eland they meant it. After the service the magnificent tones of the great "Wedding March" filled the church, and down the aisle we walked, Maggie and Chimmie, Mr. Finnegan and me with Isadore holding my other hand ; Brify and the little dog, Mrs. .Connelly and Charlie and all the young people who knew and oared for Maggie and Chimmie. As guests ot honor, our parby got into the lacks, and Maggie had to stand still on the • pavementan' her bridal ,glory, while every one of the hackmen cheered for her and 'wished her good luck, and the young girls collected round and touched her dress, be. use by doing this they an the chance of tting as gooda, husband as she had. Then me the reception. Mrs. Connelly's rooms were given.over to it, and everybody who .didn't ides the bride kissed the bridegroom, nil ADM° people kissed both. There was e' piece of cake and a cup of coffee for every- body, and I never heard so many blessings .ahowered on any bridal pair in my life. One tdd man said : "God bless you, Chimmie ; you got my boy out of trouble when he •'was on his way to be a thief." An old woman aid,: God love you, Chimeric ; you brought my girl home to me when she wag worm than lost." Indere and Billy wer there, there and everywhere. They served cofee and cake; they wrapped cake tip in paper for the old women to take home ; and, just between you and me, I think I saw Isadore putting some coffee in a 'tin pail for a peculiarly unhappy looking old man, as a remembrence of the feed. HAM APTER DOM= WOASTS, After they Were all gone we had dinner. never knew before how good a boiled din- ner tould be, eed I never realized until then what good beer was brewed in Amer- ica. We drank healthe-everybody's health. Billy drank to the health of "Bride and °OM, and 25 years from notv may they eve eaoh other 25 times more, and be 25 times happier." Mr. Cohnelly drank "10 thie Happy Day-whith has proved to tis men who think -naturally ladies never do that.-thab love can Web where riches is not, and, friendship where mii1fonai is &boned." Then Mr, linnegen proposed, Loafse-good honed Iove, which it is like ood honest Whiekey, takett properly it tuts nobody." Atid Mrs. Cenneliy seid that Fintiegen Was ttying to be Wibty.

TELE WEDDING GIFT 17ND3IG A rnesre. • After this'somebody told Maggie to look under Wer plate'there was a big envelope, and Charlie toldher he guessed it was a divorce from Cajun:ale, and Maggie got a little closer to Chinanie, as much, aa to say you divorce es, but in the envelope was Chinuniets wedding present to Maggie. What do you think it was? The deed for a little house in the country; a very little house, but with a garden about it, and it's a house all to themselves! Chimmie had been working for it for two yeers, had Saved every penny and denied himself every pleasure except that great one -of • being with hie eweetheart When she saw what she really owned, Maggie began to cry; it was too good to be true to have a house all. to herself and a garden! It was too much happiness. And 1 don't think she absolutely believed it until she saw the tiny little place. Nobody else gave any wedding presents, but Maggie found them when oho got out to her horn°. There was a comfortably fur- nished bed -room, to which no name wao attached, but when Maggie opened the bureau drawers and saw the sheets and the towels and the table linen, she knew it came from no man. Downstairs there was a 'carpet in the little front room with Mrs. Connelly's love, and a hope that she might walk on three-ply all her life ; there was a beautiful set of furniture, two chain, a table and a sofa sent with Billy's love -ib • was a lovely set, you would have wanted it; it was the kind that the shopkeeper puts on • the pavement, and which :seems to say to the passer-by "Take me away before the sun fades me." Then there was a comfort, able easy -chair, really big enough to hold two people if they were loving, that dame to 'Chinanaie from the boys who worked with him. While out in the kitchen were dishes and pans sent by one and another to add to Maggie's home. Isadore had given a strictly characteristic present, a subscription to a leading daily paper for one year, and Isadore's grandmother had sent two linen tablecloths that she wove when she was a girl. It is a very mean thing to say, bub I hope that some day Maggie will give them to me, as hand-woven tablecloths are gems. •But the funniest present of all came from the little dog; it was the WHITEST, NICEST, CLLANEST yon ever saw, and he had a blue ribbon around his neck. These were the presents that greeted Maggie, and really made as all sigh and wish we were getting roarried. Isadore proposed to me on the spot, but as I am to wait until he is Prime Minister, like Benjamin Disraeli, I am afraid there will be a slight disparity in our ages ; how- • ever'I can hope. Billy whispered to me "that he was getting very fond of a nice girl down in Virginia, and Mr. Connelly kissed Mrs. Connelly for the Bake of old • acquaintance. And, when ib was time for the bridal pair to go, what do you tuppose Maggie did?• Cried bitterly at leaving the old tenement house, atwhich the sun looked • with scorn. She said "It's here I have had .my sorrows and 'my joys ;it's here I first got '10 know Chimmie ; it's here 1 have had to kneel down many of a time and pray • for the strength to do what was right.; its here my mother died, and its here that my friends are • used to seeing me. Suppose, some night, some girl comes and raps at the • door for Maggie, and Maggie ain't there ?" Then spoke up Mrs. Connelly "My door will be wide enough open for her to come in, and, please God, ra do sill can to help bort' .LOVE IS IMPERISHABLE. Then Maggie's face brightened up and, leaning= the arm of the man she loved and who loved her, she went out bato that old world which is never new -the world of love. And after she had gone we all sat there thinking. Isadore suddenly stood up and said : May the G id of Israel bless her and care for her, and may the heart of her husband safely trust inhere." And, just; as quietly, he sat down. Then Mr. Cure artily said : "May the Blessed Virgin give her strength to be a good wife and keep her ( pure and good." And I, I echoed both prayers, though, after the fashion of my people, ',kept quiet. This is the story of the wedding day of Maggie and Chimone. I wondeehow many people who are just married have as many good wishet, as many blessings and as much love given to them as did these two, who belonged to the other side ? And, after all, they are the only things worth having ; and the blessings and kindness come from love, and you can't deny the old song "'Tia love 'tis /eve, that makes the world go round." Amen. And so be it always is the wish of BAB. The Babe &nye in the Cs5n., An extraordinary incident is reported from Gunnislake. in Cornwall.

Mr. Gitray married a;Rochester lady last and says that eine° that time he has been pestered with the threats of Mrs. Churchill, who several time asked him to marry her, but he wouldn't. His present matrimonial connection is his third. He has a grown up family, Mr. Gilray eatcl to day In regard to the matter ; "Thar is simply a black- mail scheme, no more, no less She has brought the action knowing that I have something to lose by publicity being given the affair, and that oho has nothing at all to lose. She hoped, probably, that 1 would not allow it to come to triel, but that I would settle rather than have it get into the papers. She thought she would 'squeeze me, and make me pay her monev ; but this I propose not to do, and will not do under any coneideration. Knowing full well that I can vindicate myself in ehe matter, and before any tribunal, I am not at all afraid of going to court with the case. This simply shows the ingratitude of people. I first met her at St. Mark's Church. At that time I was living near that church. About three years ago I moved here. She °erne up to see us often, and always seemed to have a great fond- ness for the family. At one time she was taken very sick at my house. She lay at the point of death in my house for daya and days, and it was eight weeks before she was able to leave the house. I never said a word, but paid all the bills, and let her stay as long as she liked. She is a woman who had advertised for a hush band, or answered advertisements, which is the same thing.; and does anyone suppose that I want anything to do with a woman of that kind? Ono man, by the name of Cooke, who became acquainted with her in this way, got away with $200 of her money, and then left the States, knowing that he would have to realm restitution or hewould be arrested. No, I never had a thought of marrying her, although she has wanted to, and has asked me to time and again. I can clear myself, and I will. All I care for in the matter is the church and my family. The odium will surely attach to them, which is the worst feature of the case. I would make almost any sacrifice rather titan bring the church and my family into disarms. I think, however, little will be said of the matter when I have vindicated myself." TOE STRIKERS' REVENGE. They Dynamited a Rine, But Fortunately Nobody Was Billed. .A Berlin cable says: It is evident that the lawless element among the coal miners are determined to revenge themselves for the discharge of so many of the men who took an active part in the troubles in the mining district. Dynamite, whichis exten- sively used in mining operations, is easily procurable by the discharged men, and tbis explosive seems to be the favorite weapon of the inalconteuts in wreaking vengeance upon the mine -owners. Yesterday a terrific explosion took place in the consolidated colliery at Gelsenkirkthen, and after the excitement had subsided it was found that it had been caused by dynamite cartridges, which had been accreted in tne mine, presumably by -strikers, and so arranged that they would explode at a certain time. Though many men were at work at the time, it so happened that none of them were in the vicinity of the explesion, and therefore nobody was killed. A number of the • miners were, however, thrown violently down by the concussion. The damage done to the mine was great. Immense timbers and huge masses of rock were blown out of place, and some of the galleries were completely blocked. It will require a con- siderable time to get the mine in good work- ing order again. Great mdignation is ex- pressed that the authors of the outrage should have risked the lives of hundreds of men for the sake of revenging themselvea against the rnineowners. It will go hard with them if they are discovered. GREAT DAT FOE FlGIET. Great Generals Seem to Love a Battle on Sunday. Many of the most famous battles of his- torylave been fought) on Sunday.

FESTIVE PREPARATIONe FOR TBE WEDDING, a t. y s Several old world dances are to be per - termed by special command ofthe Emperor on the occasion of the wedding of his youngest sister, Primeas Margasit, which will take place this month.

The Crown Prince hae decided talent for drawing, and is hard at work on a sketch for his father. This talent is evidently inherited, for Kaieer Wilhelm and his brother, Prince Neinrith, paint remarkably well, and, as is well known, the Empreee Frederick has a de- cided talent and taste for the art. Prince Eitel-Fritz is very clever at wood -carving and fret -work, and's:Garry pretty articles are the work of his small fingers. Baby Vic- toria is doing beentifully, and her mother fondly declarer she will become as tall as herself. She is certainly a fine fat baby, and is in a fair way to be spoilt already, for irer parents and six brothrs simply adore her, to say nothing of numberless aunts. AN EPIDIIIC OE SUICIDES. A good deal of excitement has been caused in aristocratic circles in Berlin, by the suicide of a young noble officer and his fiancee in a well-known hotel. They had been engaged some time, arid were extremely happy, untit suddenly some members of the lady's family discovered that the future bridegroom was not so rich as he ought to be andtried to break off the matah. This interference preyed upon the young couple's minds; they were both of age, and quite well enough off to get married on their own responsibility, but they preferred to die together. A drive was arranged ; the young lady telegraphed: "Bring poison or a revolver with you" ; bhey drove to the hotel, took a room, and were corpses in a few minutes. This is only another instance of the senseless and selfish suicides which are takingplace hero every day. For the most trivial cause a man will blow out his braine, or it woman either for that matter, and tbe Suicides in Berlin alone average six a day. There is no &MIA at all that moral degradation is meet fearfully on the increater here. Some people attribute tho demoralization to the frightful consumption of beer, which it hardly to be calculated ; clergymen say it is the great and generalinerease of material- ism and atheism. Possibly neither of these viewe is wide of the mark. NOVELTY IN STREET CAE% A Very practical addition will shortly be elide to the Berlin °Are in the form of a timeedroechke.

It acorns the real reason for the disappear- ance of the young Prince C'arl of Bavaria was uot, after all, coenected with any lady, hut was that he always hated military sew vice and longed for the navy. Being of an obstinate and independent disposition he was subjected to very strict surveillance ie his father's house, which galled him still more, and he determined to watch his op- portunity , escape to Hamburg or Kiel, anci 'enter the naval service under an assumed name. Thi e boyish scheme mieht even have been carried out, had not the Prince unluckily run short of funds, and applied for aid to a certain Count Hole:stein, The Count, however, under various pre- texts, kept the runaway with him until he had communicated with his father, and the lad was fetched home ignominiously. Now, poor Prince Karl has not only to suffer peternal wrath but the customary punieh- ment for leaving his regiment without leave into the bargain, for neither his father nor the Prince Regent will hear of making an exception in his favor. INTERCHANGE Or ROYAL COURTERSIES. The Emperor of Austria has just pre. sented his relation the Queen Regent of Spain with a beautifully -built cart for tandem -driving In return Queen Chris- tina has sent the Emperor three cream- eolored mules from Andalusia, which are to form a teem for the little archduchess, daughter of the late Crown Prince Rudolph.

About Mune the Rat. There are certain courtesies generally paid by men to women that long usage has led us to take as a matter of course, saya the Manchester Union. One of these isthat of raising the hat. There is no question but that this is a graceful and becomiug act for any man, whatever bis age or station may be, or whoever the woman is to whom he pays the little mark of deference. At the same time many men do not follow the custom, and the °minion is not necessarily to be attributed to ignorance nor to a lack of respect for women, eepecially if the man is past middle age. Most men who are bald are obliged to be careful about expos- ing the head to a draught, and for that reason avoid taking off the hat out of doors. Of course there are times and places when they could do it without danger, but it would hardly do to vary the rule to suit the weather. If a man is not in the habit of taking off his bat to any woman certainly no individual woman can feel affronted at the omission. But there are times when a woman has reason to feel indignant. For instance, when it young man is more punctillious in lifting his hat when observers are around than he is when no one is in sight. The lament* is that he is being polite for the benefit of other people, and not out of re- spect for the woman he meets. It is usually this same young man who sometimes forgets to lift his hat to his woman friends when they happen to be in rainy -day costume. Good clothes are evidently at a premium with him. A woman is sometimee annoyed by the informal manner in which some of her intimate friends address ber in public.

Around his thoulders His Holiness wore a cape of the same cloth and over that a heavy gold link chain riots with enamel and precious atones,. to which was attached a large cross set with diamonds, emeralds arid rubies. In the stron,r light the great age of the pontiff became more apparent by the transparent state of the flesh aud the symptoms of emaciation showing in his face. The lack of exercise in the open air and his aversion of the pleasures of the table are very evident in Leo's appearance.

If the accounts of his perfoi minces in Paris are to be trusted he is capable of multiply- ing twelve figures by twelve 'figures almost instantaneously, and doing other suiprising things of the same kind. The other day Inandi told his audience that if any one of them would mention his birthday he would instantly be informed on what day of the week he was born. A sceptical gentleman present said: "1 will bet you 100 frannyou will not tell me on what day of the week I was born," at the same time giving the date. " Done " said Inandi ; you were born on a Tuesday." "No," said the gentleman, "1 was born on a Wednesday." Thereupon there was a dispute and in order to settle it the chairman telephoned to an oldmatabliehed Park paper asking them to look up their file of the date in question. They did so, and the answer was received that Inandi was right. As, how- ever, his challeeger refused to pay the HO francs as pronnsed, Inandi brought Mu action in the courts to recover the sum. The defence was that the bet was in the nature of a gambling! transaction, and there- fore illegal; but this was withdrawn, andi the money was paid. Simple Dessert. An inexpensive and cagily prepared des.- sert is always appreciated by housekeepers,. who get tired in ripging the changes on the every.day puddings. Take a loaf of stale sponge cake and cut out the centre, leaving about half' an inch, on the sides and batten; epread this with as thin lewer of raspberry or strawberry jam, or line it in summer with the fresh fruit, Beat the white of one egg, to which has been added one cup of powdered sugar, one tart apple, grated, or two apples if they are small, and a teaspoonful of lemon juice. This mixture should be beaten until it is stiff enough to stay on the dish when it is turned. You will find theta it has doubled. in amount with the beating. Fill the cake: with this mixture, turn it into a plate, the crust of the cake uppermost, and put the remainderof the apple and egg over it in the form of icings. If you wish to vary this (ismer% you mays make two large cakes and use the beaten eggs as a fill ng and ?rooting. Either way • it Is nice, and is also a haecisorne deszere An Unlucky epeceb.
