CURIOUS ANECDOTES ABOUT WED DINGS. A clegvman in New York was one even ing summoned to his parlor, and found there a couple who wished to be married. The groom was a typical "Bowery boy,*' .and the bride a woman some years his senior, who looked as though her temper might have been soured by long superin tendence of milliners' apprentices. No objection appearing on the questioning of the minister, the couple stood up togeth er and the service was begun. The first part of it went off smoothly, but when it came time for the bride to reply to the question, "Wilt thou take this man," etc, she replied *'No, I won't." There was a sudden pause, some hurried question ing and expostulation by the astonished groom, which effected nothing more than a reiteration of the bride's refusal, and the outraged clergyman, in dignified and "severe words, delivered a scathing re buke and showed the party to the door. A half hour elapsed when the bell rang again, and the same couple appeared. The groom no way abashed, explained to the clergyman that he had made up the quarrel between himself and the lady, aft er considerable coaxing, and had pre vailed on her to return and be married. The clergyman hesitated, but at length consented, and the service was again be gun. When the groom was asked, "Wilt thou take this woman," etc., he replied, most emphatically, "No, I won't. It's sny turn now.*' The bride burst into tears at this unexpected sign of pluck in the man she had fondly hoped to rule, "and the clergyman, fairly incensed, turned them out of the house with scant ceremony. An hour later they returned, and the groom explained that he had made up with the lady, and they had fin ally determined to be married, and have no more nonsense about it. The clergy man consented this time with alacrity, .and the groom responded to the ques tions asked with satisfactory promptness, and the lady performed her part with dignity and ease. When he came to the last part of the ceremony, however, the clergyman said, "It's my turn now. I will not pronounce you man and wife. You may go somewhere else to get mar ried." And the fickle couple, after their 'third attempt, were turned away still single. While it is not common, fortunately, for any such violent refusals to be heard, it frequently happens that some one blunders* It is seldom the bride, for whether it be that women are more at home in a novel situation than are meu, or that they study up their parts with more care, they generally knowjust what to do and say. Onjone occasion, however, an Episcopal clergyman says he was per forming the marriage ceremony, and when he asked the bride, "Wilt thou take this man." etc., she replied, "I wiU, and verily I thank God that he has called me to this state." The answer served all practical purposes, although it was evident she had been studying the wrong sacrament. Through eagerness or excitement, the people who are being married often speak too soon or too much, as once happpened when a clergy man mariied a couple who were appar ently country people who had come to the city to be married. Both seemed elated, and their manner toward each other was remarkably frank in its tender ness, and their impatience was as appar ent. When the clergyman began the all important question to the groom, the latter was so much in earnest that he re sponded to each clause in it, so that it assumed the form of a conversation some thing like the following: "Wilt thou, John, take this woman, Sarah—" "Yes" "to be thy true and lawful wife—" "Yes, sir," "to keep and to cherish—" "Yes, sir ree." At the end of the ques tion "till death do you part," he burst out, "You may just bet I will.'* The clergyman was more annoyed than amused by the rustic's emphasis, but he fairly laughed when, in response to the similar question put to the bride, which she heard through without interruption, she replied, "I won't have nothing else." A good story is told of a newly appoin ted Justice of the Peace in one of the Western States who was called on soon after his accession to office, to marry a couple. He was a bachelor and never had been to a wedding and had no form book which showed himjust how to do the thing properly. However there was no one else within fifty miles who, as he thought, could marry them, so he deter mined to try, and, having an eye to the main chance, he looked for his fee in a novel manner, as he did not expect to receive a large one, and,judging from the man's appearance, felt doubtful of get ting any. He began by swearing the groom: "Put your right hand on the Bible. You do solemnly swear that the evidenceiyou shall give in the case of Robert Jones against Mary Smith shall be the truth, the whole truth, and noth ing but the truth, so help you God. Kiss the book and pay mo one shilling." The groom, somewhat suprised, did this, and the Squire proceeded: "Will you take Mary Smith to be your wife?" *'I will." Will you provide for her, give her good and suitable clothes, and keep plenty of provisions in the house, and will you take care of her if she should be sick?" "I will." The squire then proceeded to swear the bride in the same way, looking out for his other shilling, ana interrogated her as to whether she would "be a good and obedient wife, and take care of his house, nurse him if he should be sick, and take good care of the babies." The bride blushed a little at the last clause, but promised and the er ratic Justice said': "The court finds you married, and orders that the cost be paid by Robert Jones. Then you can go." The man grumbled a little at being obliged to disburse money the third time, but paid a dollar finally, and the couple departed. FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. CHOICE RECIPES. Cookies (from A. E. S., Jackson, Minn.). —Three eggs, one cup butter, one and a half cup sugar, small pinch salt, small pinch soda, aud a teaspoonful of caraway seed use as much flour*as you can con veniently roll out very thin, and bake in a quick oven. Gem tarts.—Bake some light, sweet gems, after the usual fashion, only they are prettier when round. When they are nearly cold, take a very sharp-point ed knife and cut the crust around, separ ate the two halves, breaking them across the center. Have ready some fresh hot apple-sauce, beaten up lightly or strain ed, as for marmalade, and put one nice heaping spoonful on each half of the gem. Set as many as you wish in a baking-tin, put a stewed raisin in the center of each, sprinkle a little desiccated cocoanut over them, and set them in the oven to brown slightly while the dinner is being served. Serve warm. It makes a plain, but pret ty dessert, and one almost always availa ble, while it requires but little time in its preparation. Cracker Plum Pudding.—Make "a very sweet custard and put into it a teaspoon ful of salt. Take soda crackers, split them, and butter them very thick. .Put a layer of raisins on the bottom of a large pudding disb, and then a layer of crack ers, and pour on a little of the custard when warm, and after soaking a little put on a thick layer of raisins, pressing them into the crackers with a knife. Then put on another layer of crackers, custard, and fruit and proceed thus till you have four layers. Then pour over the whole enough custard to rise even with the crackers. It is the best made over night, so that the crackers may soak. Bake from an hour and a half to two hours. During the first half hour pour on, at three different times, a little of the custard, thinned with milk, to prevent the top from being hard and dry* If it browns fast cover with paper. Bread and butter pudding is made in a similar manner. Marble Cake.—A lady says: I will send you a recipe for marble"cake, which, if made right cannot be beaten, viz.: Light part—Light sugar, one and one half cupfuls butter, one-half cupful sweet milk, one-half cupful soda, one half teaspoonful cream of tartar, one teaspoonful whites ef four eggs flour, two and one-half cupfuls. Dark Part— Brown sugar, one-half cupful molasses, one-quarter cupful butter, one-quarter cupful sour milk, one quarter cupful soda, one-quarter teaspoonfiul cream of tartar, one-half teaspoonful flour, one and one-quarter cnpful yolks of two eggs cloves, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, —all ground—of each one-half |teaspoon ful. Beat and mix as follows: Beat the eggs with the sugar having the- butter softened by the fire, then stir it in put tbe soda and cream of tartar in the milk mix all together and stir sift and stir in the flour. When both parts are ready, drop a spoonful of the dark, then a spoon ful of the light over the bottom of the dish it is to be baked in, and so proceed to fill up the pan, dropping the light upon the dark as you continue to fill up the pan. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. A very pretty and cheap rug may be made from old pieces of woolen cloth, de laines, worsteds etc, by cutting them into bias strips three-fourths ofan in inch wide, then with a darning needle and coarse cotton yarn or small cord sew through the middle of the strip, taking stitches about half an inch leng. Get your needle well filled before pulling it through twist the cloth round on the needle until it is a roll somewhat r. sembling chenille. Take some strong cloth as foundation for your rug and SJW your chenille to it, either commencing in the center and sewing rouud, or in strips. Finish the edge with pinking, or some border to suit the taste. Of course the beauty of the mat will depend upon the colors you have and their arrangement. If you are troubled with rats get at the drug store some crude potash, and put it in their runways and holes. The potash will stick to their feet, and dis liking this, they try to lick it off, and get their tongues burnt by the operation, and they will soon leave the premises in dis gust. Apple-Pudding.—Take equal parts good oatmeal porridge and water and add Graham flour enough to make a batter thicker than forgems. Oil a basin of the size required, cover the bottom with bat ter, and place in this dressed sub acid apples, in quarters closely packed. Cov er all this with another layer of the bat ter, and put it at once to steam over an abundance of hot water, so that it will scald and begin at once. Keep it boil ing until the apples are tender. Serve warm with pudding sauce, more or less sweet, according to the tartness of the apples. This crust is very light and tender. Orange Pudding.—Four sweet oranges peeled and picked to pieces and put in a deep pudding dish with two cups ofsugar. Put a quart of milk, the yolk of three eggs, and two dessert-spoonfuls .of corn starch on to boil. Take off, cool it, and pour it on the oranges. Then beat the whites to stiff froth, put it over the pud ding and place in the oven until it is of light brown color. RESEATING CHAIRS. Cane-seatod chairs are very apt to wear out, and then, if their owners are far from the upholsterer, they arethrown aside as useless. Any woman with a lit tle ingenuity can repair them so they will be as good as new. Take any piece of bagging or burlaps—no matter how coarse—and fit them to chairs, cutting them large enough to wrap about -the rounds and hold the splints or canes. Now set it on with a darning-needle and twine twice doubled, and turn up a hem as you sew on the burlaps. When half fitted stuff it will "excelsor" shavings of poplar wood or if you have them, cut off layers from old quilts, and spread them smoothly over the chairs, under the bur laps. The layers of cotton can be tacked together before they are put in, and then they can be laid more smoothly upon the old canes. Fine hay will also answer for stuffing when nothing better can be pro cured. Now sew down the other two sides, and take pieces of carpeting, or of enameled cloth, or colored rep, or all wool dress goods, and tack them closely down with large silvered or brass-headed nails, which come for the purpose, and be hold! your chairs are far handsomer and more comfortable than before. The ma terials have, possibly cost you little, for many an attic would furnish them all but the nails, which must be procured at the upholsterer's. Gimp to match the ground color of the cushion, or even worsted braid, is desirable to place along the edge of the covering, and drive the nails directly through it. This makes a hand some finish to the cushion. Safety requires that lamps should be filled every day. As the oil burns down, a highly inflammable gas is created on the surface, and if the oil is allowed to burn very low it gives room for the col lection of a quantity sufficient to cause an explosion, which a simple jar of the table will sometimes produce. A fine stain can be imparted to furni ture made of beech or pine in a very sim ple manner. Dissolve three ounces of permanganate of potash and three ounces sulphate of magnese in two quarts of hot water. Apply this to the surface of the wood with a brush and repeat if necessa ry. The magnese salt is decomposed in contact with the fiber of the wood, and a fine permanent stain is produced. If the objects are small, a more dilute bath can be prepared, and the wood immersed in it for one or five minutes, until it is thoroughlv stained. THE CONTMBION OFSCARLT FEVER Hall's Journal of Health has the following suggestive and valuable article on this subject: Since none of our common diseases is more dreaded than scarlet fever, it is important to know what can be done to prevent its diffusion. To this end the following conditions should be observed: Let the patient be assigned an upper chamber, freely ventilated, comfortably warm, and reasonably cool. There should be no carpet on the floor, no cur tains about the bed, and no cushioned and upholstered chairs or sofas. Use an iron bedstead, and if possible let the bed ding be destroyed by fire as soon as the patient is so far recovered as to mingle with the other members of the family. The handkerchiefs which he has used should be burned. Its better to furnish bits of old cotton or linen in place of handkerchiefs, that each piece, as soon as soiled, may be removed and destroyed, The spittoon, or other vessel which re ceives the expeetorations, should contain a little water with carbolic acid or chlo ride of lime. One or the other of these disinfectants must be used freely about the room. An indispensable article for the comfort of the patient is an earth closet. There are several kinds in use, but, as far as we have observed, the simplest and cheapest is the best. Common gar den soil, perfectly dry, should be used, or sifted coal ashes. Either of these sub stances will readily deodorize the intes tinal discharges. A small quantity of sulphate of iron—copperas—if added to the soil or ashes, will serve as an excel lent disinfectant. Nurses, and all others who come in contact with the patient, should frequently wash their hands with carbolic soap." Clothing taken from the patient, if not burned, should be al lowed to remain in water containg one of the above-named disinfectants two or three days before being washed. These simple suggestions, if followed, would re sult in a greatly decreased number of cases of scerlet fever: and if the means proposed were generally adopted, we be lieve that in a short time the disease would be effectually "stampedout." We are aware that in many families the course we propose is impracticable. They have not the room nor th« means. But they can follow some of our direc tions. They can ventilate the sick room and use disinfectants. It is possible that physicians, in treating this disease, neglect, sometimes, an important part of their duty. They do not enforce, as they ought, the simple regulations by which so much my be done toward destroying the con tagion. COOKING FOOD FOR STOCK. Mr. V. S. Beekman of Ulster Co., New York, evidently has a poor opinion of cooking food for cows. He details, in the New York Tribune, some ofhis experience in this line. He had seen in several Ag ricultural papers, and in a pamphlet ed ited by one who had an ax to grind, that there were large profits arising from cooking food for cows. From the state ments it appears that there was a saving from cooking of one-third of the feed, and he concluded that if by cooking $900 worth of food lie could make it go as far as $1,200 uncooked he could afford to pay $65 for steamer and "go in." Well, he tried the cooking business one winter and got enough of it. The labor he says is increased ten fold. In cold weather only a little can be fed at a time, as stock do not like it cold. He thinks not one out of ten, who advocate cooking, do their own work, and, for his part, he had rather spend his spare time in winter in reading and recreation than in the barn saving a few dollars coddling his stock. There are a good many others who have tried cooking that have abandoned it, and feel, we fear, something like Mr. Beekman in regard to it. CLIPPINGS. A Rochester boy put his foot on a cat while he shot her with a revolver. The cat did not stop to see how badly the boy was wounded. "Sense me, stranger," said a fellow who wanted most of the sidewalk yesterday, "Ish so foggy that no feller can find the sidewalk." An Irishman says that "fish will livo twice as long if killed by a blow on the head when caught, as when left to die gradually." "My client is no more guilty of stealing that hog than a frog ain't got no tail,'* was a young Kentucky lawyer's adress to a Warren county jury. What is the difference between killing a hog and stabbing a man One is as saulting with intent to kill, and the other is killing with intent to salt. If you were to i.sk old Father Time how he felt, he would undoubtedly say "Sew-sew." So many people "take a stitch in Time," you know. A man in Kentucky was found dead, withjfourteen bullet-holes in his head, and a coroner's jury returned a verdict of "death from undue excitement." A New Hampshire man sends 14 of his children to one school, and when they combine against the teacher he knows he can safely bet on the result. What with stocking-darners, knitting and sewing-machines, apple-pearers, washers and wringers, woman as a neces sity, is fading from the earth. When walking with a gentleman, a lady should take his right arm, but in a crowded thoroughfare you may with propriety sieze him by the coat collar. A Maine merchant rejoices that this is centennial year, for he says he has a number of customers who settle their ac counts only once in a hundred years. A Bridgeport boy told his father to "dry uv, and called him an "honorable hyena," and now his proud parent intends to make a democratic statesman of him. An original neighbor of Rip Van Wink le was said to be so lazy that when he went to hoe corn he worked so slowly that the shade of his broad-rimed hat killed the plants. Young ladies can now be seen oiling the gate hinges. They don't do it from any leeling of love for the gate they do it to prevent the hinges from "singing" when the family is wrapped in slumber. A Nashua man tells in print of a pulle he owns, that will fly off the perch, go to her nest and lay an egg, if any person goes in the hen-house at night with a lantern. We like a good liar, but this one Nashuates us. A rich contractor was holding forth up on the instability of the world. "Can you account for it sir?" he asked turning to Sam Footc. "Well not very clearly,' he responded, "unless we suppose it was built by contract." Folks will talk when a doctor comes to a meeting of his creditors behind a pair of stylish horses and a bright-buttoned driver, offers twenty-five cents on the dollar, and drives off again. "I don't know any thing more tryin' to the temper," says old Uncle Joe Stebbins, "than for a man to wind up a clock every day for twenty years, and then find out that the pesky thing is an eight-day con sarn." Maria, daughter of the late Emperor Nicholas of Russia, has gone home from Italy to die of consumption. She lived for many years in a villa near' Florence, wnere she gathered a great quantity of good satuary and pictures, and dispensed hospitality. The vernacular heard in the fashion able Washington drawing-room does not recall the "good old days" very much. Sometimes above the roar of the festiv ities a big, manly voice is audible, re marking "No I'll be coffer-dammed if I do." and then the dulcet tones of some sweet woman's voice: "I'll bet that's an Indiana member." "How much do you ask for that there velvet by the yard said Mrs. Rural at Stewart's the other day. "That, madam," said the clerk holding it up, "is S9, form erly sold at $14." "Thought so,', said Mrs. Rural "now Where's them 18 cent calicoes I seed advertised in the pa pers? The only articles of clothing which we export to Africa are glass beads and brass rings, which the negroes wear in their noses. These constitute the full dress in Africa, though the aristocratic natives sometimes rub themselves in fat and then sprinkle themselves with a yellow sand. A Frenchman in the city of L., who had not thoroughly mastered the Eng lish tongue, sends the following excuse for his boy's absence from school. "I testimony myself that my boy could not go up to the school yes now, because he had, has bad cut on the knees, and he is not cure yet." Ice-so late-d places—skating-ponds. A man's credit must be rather poor when he's unable to borrow trouble. A bowl ed operation—eating an oyster stew. Not unusual-to see a plank walk, a paper stand, and a stepping stone. A coat that tail ors never furnish—a coat of paint. A tight squeeze—one toper hugging anoth er. He said that he never was in France exactly, but lie had a mother-in-law whose maiden name was French. A Vermot editor says that a man in Procterville caught a pickerel the other day weighing two and a half pounds, in side of which was another pickerel which measured nine inches ia length, and in side of this was still another, five inches in length. We don't question the truth of this story. The only remarkable thing about it is that the man didn't go on finding ••inside" pickerels as long as the inches held out. Officeholders do not object to a hand some turn-out: that is, if it is not a turn out of office. Extraordinary Enterprise. Frank Leslie, the publisher of eighteen illustrated newspapers and magazines, hasjust added to the list his New Popu lar Magazine, a marvel of elegance and cheapness. It is nearly double the size of any magazine published, each number containing one hundred and twen ty-eight quarto pages, eighty fine illustra tions, a beautiful chromo lithograph frontispiece, and is brim full of choice literature. We name as a few of the ad mirable articles in the first number—one completely illustrating and describing the Centennial exhibiton at Philadelphia also "Degrading Punishment of Women," illustrated—an interesting sketch of the life and assassination of Marat, the French revolutionist, with portrait—the different modes of fire producing among the aboriginies, illustrated—biographical sketch and portrait of the great million are, Wm. B. Astor, and view of Astor li brary. Among the excellent stories which give so much life to this magazine we notice "How we Shot the Falls," an Adirondack adventure, "Pearl Morgan's Revenge," "Huldah's Defeat," "Diamond Cut Diamond," "One Night," by Etta W. Pierce, "Paul's Choice," "Flint and Steel," "The Story of Raphael Velda," "The fix Mr. Ferrers was in." There are over sixty articles illustrated by eighty two engravings, and is furnished one year, postage paid, for $2.50.

Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is to-day more largely employed as a blood and liver medicine, and also as a cough remedy, than any other remedial agent in the world. His Favorite Prescription, he does not recommend as a "cure-all," as is so often done by com pounders of worthless, humbug nostrums, but to all diseases and weaknesses* peculiar to wo men it has proved itself so much of a specific that it now enjoys [great popularity aud uni versal confidence. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pur gative Pellets, "scarcely larger than a mustard seed," have proved so agreeable and reliable as a cathartic that they are rapidly taking the place of the large, nanecous pills heretofore so much in use while his Compound Extract ot Smart-Weed is a favorite remedy tor Colic, Cramps Summer-complaint, Diarrhoea, Dys entery, Cholera andCholera Morbus, and also as a liniment. Of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, and Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douche, little need be said, as they are known everywhere as the greatest specifics for Catarrh-and "cold in the head," ever given to the public. And be sides this large measure ol success, D. Pierce seemslikely to achieve as great renown as an authoras he has as a physician. His COMMON SENSE MEDICAL ADVISER, a book of about 900 pages, which he sells at the unparalleled low price of91-50, has already been sold to the ex tent ofexhaustingtwo editions amounting to forty thousand copies. The secret of Dr. Pierce's success, as wellas that ot the great re vivalists, and scores ofother Americans, who by their genius have advanced step by step from obscurity to affluence and distinction, consists in treating the people with consider ation, sympathy, candor, and honesty. No man, who hopes to attain either wealth or dis tinction, can afford to deal unfairly with tne world or to be indifferent to the wants and best interests of humanity. Coxsr/MPTiVES,TAKE NOTICE. Everymoment ol delay makes your cure more hopeless, and much depends on the judicious choice of a remedy. The amount of testimony in favor of Dr. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure tor consumption, far exceeds all that can be brought to support thepretensions of auy oth er medicine. See Dr. Schenck'salmanac, con taining the certificate* of many persons of tbe highest respectability, who have beenrestored tohealth, after being pronounced incurable by Physiciansot acknowledgedability. Schenck's ulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as these evidences will show but the cure is often promoted by the employment of two other remedies which Dr. Schenck provides for the purpose. These additional remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By the timely use of these medicines, accordingto directions, Dr. Schenck certifies that most any case ot consumption may be cured.
