Lavender Brides.
Eli Perkins is on the wing. He
stopped at Homer the other morning
for breakfast, and had the good for
tune to meet a quartette bridal party,
of whielt he thus discourses.
This morning at the Syracuse
House, I breakfasted with a pair ot
brides and a pair of bridegrooms-a
sort of bridal quartette. They were
from Courtland, I think, in the coun
try. I knew they were just married
for a variety of reasons. First, when
they alighted from the omnibus to
enter the hotel, both young ladies
took the arms of the gentlemen, who
said, "Dear, let me carry your satch
el for you."
Just behind them came some old
married people. I knew they had
been married for some time, for the
men pounced out, starting, luggage
in hand, straight for the hotel, leav
ing their wives with small satchels to
follow, single beLir.d them.
At breakfast the brides appeared
in bridal lavender. Everything was
lavender-lavender dresses, lavender
hats with lavender strings, and lav
ender gloves-if ever I get married
Mrs. Perkins shall wear (if she pleas
es) a suit of plain black, and then
we can enjoy our honeymoon ir. peace.
The young husbands both A'ore broad
cloth suits with black hats. Both
wore paper collars and cuffs, s nd one
wore a paper shirt bosom. Alas \
what a shock such deception must be
to a young and guileless wife ! Why,
in my. opinion, a paper collar is no
more indication of a real shirt than
a cloches line.
At breakfast these young husbands
didn't help themselves first when
they sat down at the table, but they
turned to the brides in lavender and
said lovingly, M Have a roll, dear ?"
Then they pnt some batter on the
brides' plates, and they looked up
and said, "Thank you, dear," with
a smile too happy to describe. When
breakfast was over one of t .e young
husbands smiled sweetly and he said:
" Now, darling, cau't I smoke just
once; you know you aid I might."
" Yes, Charley, just once." And
then the two brides stood a->d looked
vacantly out of the windows until
their sweethearts came back.
When the old married people sat
down there was a different scene.
The old fellows scooped in their beef
steaks and sausages, never looking up
to see how their wives were getting
along, and when they got through
they shuffled into the reading room
ana loaded up meerschaam pipes
with the strongest cavendish. They
then talked politics, expectorating on
the stove ?.nd around the zinc stove
mat without once thinking of their
poor wives who were left to amuse
themselves with neighborhood gossip.
Tiie mt of Josh Billings.
The following chunks of wit and
wisdom ar? from Josh Billings' Al
minar, for 1873 r
The intimacy ov old age seems tew
konsist in ?rinking yung bison fea
together, and comparing gouts and
rcmatisms.
One ov the most reliable prophets
I kno ov is an old hen, for they don't
prophecy easy eggs until after the
egg has happened.
I kno ov folks who are so kondem
kontrary, that if they should fall in
to a .riv?r, they would want to float
np stream.
Take all the phools and good luk

Thare iz az much difference be

Ridicule that ain't true haz no
particular power.
A phool's money iz like his branes
-very uneazy.
. Thare iz this difference between a
jest and a joke-a jest may be kruel,
but a joke never iz.
Human knowledge iznot very kotn
prehensiv after all-i have seen men'
who konld kalkulate an eclipse tcw-i
square inch, who kouldn't come with
in 30 foot of harnessing a boss.
Flattery iz like ice kreaia, we wu. I
it a leetle at a time and often.
When a mau measures ont glory

I don't know as i want tew be: en

" IF YOU ENOW ANY JUST CAUSE."
-The Napanee, Connecticut Beaver
r.lates the following story:
A joke, altogether too good to be
lost for want of telling, oe cn rr ed in
the Methodist: Church, in a village
not ten miles from Napanee, a few
months ago. The minister, after the
service, publ ished the bands of a mar
riage between a loving and interest
ing couple ; 3 ad when that portion
of the form where the words "if you
know any jtat cause, &c., came in,
the minister, whether from any pre
vious knowledge or not lookedstraigbt,
*at a yotmg^ntlem?a.t?ree?y at .the y
foot of-the pulpit. Thia* gentleman,
thinking he waa personally alluded
to, immediately rose op, amid tba
laughter of the congregation, and ex
chumed, " Oh, no ; not the slightest
objection, sir."
tl Blow at Freedom of the Press.
The acquisition by the Government
of the control of the telegraph lines
would not only be a broad stride to
ward centralization, but a moat dan
gerous blow at the freedom of the
press. The public will not soon for
get the -abase of authority by post
masters during the late campaign,
and there is no reason to expect that
Che telegraph, if controlled by the
same officials, would not also be made
subservient to the interests of the
controlling party. The transmission
pf telegrams conveying news favora
ble to tne Administration would be
facilitated, while every .possible ob
stacle would be placed in the way of
persons representing the independent
press.
The opportunities for improper in
terference with despatches would be
much greater than those possessed by
the postal authorities. The postmas
ter aoes not know, or ought not to
know, the contents of a package pass
ing through his hands. The tele
graph operator k.ust read the despatch
which he is requested to forward,
and none are better aware than mem
bers of the press how many facilities
an operator can extend, and how
many he can withhold. Does any
one think that an official wearing the
G'rovernment collar would be ready,
in the heat of an exciting political
campaign, to extend to the lepre
sentative of an opposition newspaper
those indispensable courtesies which
are now habitually extended to news
paper correspondents without regard
to party or politics ?-N. Y. Sun.
Doing (?oort to Others.
"When the Son of mam shall come
in his glory, and all the holy angels
with him, then shall he sit upon the
throne of his glory ; and before him
shall be gathered all nations : and he
shall separate them one from another,
a? a shepherd divideth his sheep
from the goats ; and he shall set the
sheep on his right hand, but the goats
on the left. Then shall the King say
unto them on his right hand, Come
ye blessed of my Father, inherit the
kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world. For I was
au hungered, and ye gave me meat;
I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink;
I was a stranger, and ye took me in ;
naked, and ye clothed me; I was
sick, and ye visited me; I was in
prison, and ye came unto me."
It is very evident from the above
Scripture that doing good to others
is the sum and substance of the Chris
tian's life. Selfishness had no part
in the teachings of Jesus, and we only
draw near to him when we go out of
ourselves in benefiting others. Self
sacrifice is a divine principle, held in
high esteem by right-thinking men ;
yet pre-eminently more so in the view
of God, and he never fails to set his
seal of approval to the acts of self
sacrifice in upright souls. Human
nature finds it difficult to practice
self-denial, because all its bents and
inclinations are for indulgence, and
it is only when the divine operates
effectually in subduing the human,
that it becomes easy and delightful.
Souls thus brought under the power
of grace are the happiest of all souls,
because there is nothing sweeter than
thia law of self-forgetfulness, when
one is fully brought under its sway.
Let ns all remember the words of
Christ, and square our lives accord
ingly, that we may stand on that
" right hand," where commendations
for well-spent lives shall be given.
WHY HE LEFT.-Mr. Dickson, a
colored, barber in one of our New
England towns, was shaving one of
las customers, a respectable citizen,
one morning, when a conversation
occurred between the two, respecting
Mr. Dickson's former connection with
the colored church in that place :
" I believe you are connected with
the church in Elm street, Mr. Dick
son," said the customer.
" No, sah, not all."
" Why, are you not a member of
the African church?"
"Not dis year, sah."
" Why did you leave that com
munion, Mr. Dickson, if I may be
permitted to ask V
.Why, I tell von, nih/' said Mr.
Dickson, stropping a concave razor
on the palm of his hand. " It was
