"-" INTENT ON MARRIAGE. • • A very good-looking and neatly dressed though modestyoung lady walked into the Cincinnati Probate Court recently. accompanied by a good-looking young man. Step- • ping up to the license desk, the 1,_ _ young lady with a blush announc- ed that she wanted a license to l marry. "IS this the gontleman you are - Ding to marry?" asked Squire ames, looking at the young lady's escort. "Oh, no, this is my brother," explained the young lady. "You see, my intended'husband is out of the city. He expected to be back to -day tin time to get the license, but I just received a tele- gram from him saying he cannot get hero until to -night. You see, we are to be married to-night,and I had to come or else postpone the marriage." The brother explained that this was true. His intended brother- in-law is away on business. The wedding was fixed for that 'night, and the prospective groom expect- ed to be here to attend to all the preliminaries, but at the last myn- ute he was deiayed,so that rather than put off the wedding( the plucky young lady made appli- cation for thb license. herself. In response to the usual ques- tions by Squire James the young lady gave h,giamo as "Matilda age as 22 years. is in Fairmount. Bryant an Her res' Her pr t isective husband is Johan McAuliff, aged 3l. The young lady blushed as she took the re- quisite o-quisite oath, saying that she was . never married; that the man of her choice has no legal wife living and that there are no legal objec- tions to the marriage. The ap- plication was made out in her name and she signed the record. 'Tho license was issued and the young lady left the court appar•- 'ontly happy.

Upwards of twelve thousand is were thus bestowed. Last week Fair people said to themselves, "Why take in,.all the kids, and, make the ugural of the Exposition a 'Children's +• In every revel" Tho suggestion considered a good one, and the press uffalo was instructed to proclaim the d news that en the first day of the r, no child under twelve years of age uld be barred from free admission. his is the first day of the Fair, and childrien are seizing their opportunity. pe to be a personal witness of their oyment before the day is over, but if lay this letter until after a visit to ;Fair grounds, I fear it will not be ten to -night..

Visitors of would hardly recognize the grounds. buildings have gone up everywhere that enormous meadow which is en- d by the mile race course, and which year was a barren waste, presents to - the appsarance of a minature city. laid out in streets and avenues and e hone of the agriculturalists. Peo- thought the art gallery was pretty last season, but the splendid struc- .(splendid from an architectural point ew) which has taken its place this , makes the memory of the other culous. Everything has been doubled apacity, and none of the signs of y preparation which abounded on all in 1888, are to -day visible. The orse Show " a year ago oocupied a ding 400 feet square. To -day it fills such structures, the --broad aisle of ch are decorated with sheets of oats with red ribbons, making a benuti• ffect as you look down the long vistas. ere are not only double the number attractions to be seen, but there is e system, exhibited on all eldest. A y ornamental programme, which is preserving as a souvenir of the Ex - n, has been issued for thofirst day, is, I am told, to be a thing of daily kation. This is something new at , and strikes vie as an excellent de - e. It contains for example a list the animate which are to be judged the hours of the judging, and gives the numbers which the grooms will wear on their arms so that 'nobody who sees a supurb animal led out in front of the grand stand far critical inspection, need be in doubt as to what he is looking at. Nearly all the judging is to be done in front of the stands, and as tho horses and cattle are of world-wide reputation the spectacle, b7 the aid of this daily pro- gramme, will be a more than commonly interesting one. Cappa's Seventh regiment bancl• is to give three concerts daily and the list of selections is to be found in the pro- gramme. I notice in looking at to -day's programme that a parade of ponies and calves is to occur this afternoon. This will charm the children, and on each day of the Fair there is to be a procession of magnificent live stock. What with races, daily exhibitions of the Buffalo Fire de- partment, , lumpin of hunters, judging of blooded beasts, balloon ascensions and open air concerts it would seem that visit- ors will find plenty to amuse them with- out going in doors, but on the other hand there is so much to see in the Main build- ing, Art Gallery, tho Palace of Illusions the Public Museum, the Poultry and Pigeon Show, and the vast Live Stock structures that nobody can well afford to stay out of doors. The truth of the mat- ter is it will take at least two days of very active sight seeing to exhaust the attractions of the Fair. Next Saturday is going to be "Citizens' Day" and nearly all the business houses of Buffalo svW close. A doubly fine pro- gramme is arranged for that occasion. Buffalo has gone wild over the Fair and Main street tonight will be a blaze of color through a splendid and systematic illumination of that thoroughfare. To -morrow and next day (Sept: 4 and 5) Ivill see the much talked of contest for supremacy in drill between firemen's companies from Canandaigua, Lockport, Albion and Olean. This afternoon Prof. Hogana brother of the'aeronaut who lost is life in the Campbell air ship) will make the first of six ascensions and parar chute flights through the air. Next Sat- urday Mogan and a daring female named Louisa Bates will ascend in rival balloong and race back to terra firmaby the para• chute route. 1 wish then good luck.

SALVATION Salvation—what music there is in that word music that never tires but is always new, that al- ways rests us. It holds in itself all that our hearts would say.

No life was ever healthy and strong in which there was not a central rest, aii,4 something to support and feed that rest. But in our day of question, "What shall I do nex?" is asked before we have wej$' n4'Ished that which went before' And so much of our activity,s blind and purposeless. It is merely wasting and consum- ing ppiine. There is no virtue in it,; and no intelligenoe in it ; con- sequently no profit. Life does not become purified, or strength- ened, 'or enriched, or made hap- pier thereby. It is simply squan- dered. Now all this,, is not simp- ly. wrong : it is foolish: It is not. simply harmless activity; it is the activity that comes from internal hollowness of nature. We con- gratulate ourselves on being the most "alive" people in the world, which means in, plain,English, the most restless. But mere restless- ness has no inherent virtue or goodness in it. It simply denotes possession of vitality, which vital- ity may be altogether uneducated and -untrained. In every useful life there must be internal rest. There must be something believed in so firmly and so continuously that it holds to itself the mind and the heart. Therefore it is that the apostle says, "Be yo' stead- fast."—Rev Rouen Thomas, D.D. FAITH JUSTIFIED. Ire or about the year 1828, Mary Reed, widow, of Marblehead, mov- ed up in Brookline, Mass., to live with her son-in-law, Wm. Rope.

Mrs Reed was an aged and stately lady, old enough to bo the great grandmo- ther of tho present writer, then a a boy of 9, who chiefly remembers her as taking snuff and having sold a cargo of West Indian rum, a part of the estate loft her by hor husband. Sho was a yory reli- gious woman at a time when reli- gion was at a very low ebb. On her arrival at her new home at Brookline, Mrs Reed, then over 80 years of age, started a woman's prayer meeting, the only one in the land so far as now known. After the prayer meeting had boon going on for some time, one of the attendants noticed a hand- some ornament in Mr Rope's par- lor, and inquired about it, She was told it was of Japanese origin, and that Japan was a heathen country that had completely iso• lated itself from tho rest'bf the world.

TII'E ASTROLOGERS .FORBID, It is said that the Emperor of China is anxious to encourage the building of railways in his king- dom, but ho is surrounded by many • obstacles. •His priests, astrologers, and advisers of var- ious kinds aro afraid of Western civilization, and they employ all manner of devices to keep the young potentate from acting in a plogressivo way. The astrologers never find the stars favorable to the granting of a railway fran- chise. The Emperor is not more superstitious than other educated Chinamen, but ho is obliged to conform to certain ancient customs or stand in danger of a rebellion.

As they are employees in various indus- tries of the great city,one can have a. limited idea of the inconveni- ence experienced by the industrial firms concerned. The men have been on strike for nearly three weeks and have censequently lost all that might have been Darned in that time. It is exceedingly doubtful in our minds whether the average London enaployee is able to stand the lose which must arise from unforced idleness. As a rule his wages•aro barely sufficient to keep his wife and children when work is plenty. Wilt they must dowhen there is no work can be conjectured. Of course the manufacturers will suffer Loss just as well as the employees, but in most instances the former are much better able to stand the loss than the latter. It unfortuhately happens that there are occassion- ally difficulties between the em ployed and the employer that aro not amicably settled, and a strike is the result . But in almost every csj se the striker is the loser. He May gain a temporary advantage but in the majority of instances it it is only temporary. Any ono can see at a glance that in a place so largely overstocked with labor- er s as London,the English metrop- olis, a strike cannot be a success. In the meantime families suffer tor the necessaries of life, crime, which always accompanies idle- ness, increases, and capital that would be productive is lying idle because it cannot be employed to advantage under the circumstances The St. Louis Post -Dispatch set to work to find out why 14 per cent. of the American. Army de- serted last year, at a cost to the country of $600,000. One of its reporters enlisted and served throe months in the army, at Jefferson Barracks. His report is that he wasboatsdr abused andneglect- ed, c lect- ed, fed upon poor rations, wretch- edly clad and lodged with vermin, and handed over to the mercies of men whd traded upon his ne- cessities. The army is not a very attractive - service at best, in a country where the wages'of peace- ful employment are high, and it is no Wonder that men are willing to take risks in order to escape such a state of things as the ro•� porter describes.

P•.r esis! Did it come on at once? Not at all. It was a gradual but positive growth. They overtaxed nature. The drain on their vitality, their nerve powers, their brain tissue, was too great, andahey gradually but surely sank under it. The things they did to bring this sad end about are precisely the same things that are being done by thousands of men and women to -day. It is not necessary to name them. They all end disastrously unless checked or regulated. Prof. Phelps, of Dartmouth College, knew this fully when he began his experiments which resulted in the discovery of Life wonderful Paine's Celery Compound. Ile realized that paresis (consumption of the brain) was our great National weakness. He knew that the braid and nervous system mat be fortified to meet the great strains which modern life bring upon it. Ile saw that men were becoming debilitated and women weakened by the pressure and demands of life, andhe sought and discovered the remedy Paine's Celery Compound, if rightly taken, will renew the brain and build up nerve tissues as fast as they become exhausted. It - is not a narcotic. It contains no drugs, no nostrums. It is perfectly pure. It is absolutely harmless. The high character of its discoverer guarantees this, and the indorsement of the medical and chemical professions prove it. 3 YEARS SYSTEM A regular monthly, quarterly or half -yearly pay- ment (a slight advance on the rental rate) buys the instrument.
