The attendant of the bride stands at
her side, assists her in rising and sitting
and in every motion she makes, does
her talking, arranges her ornaments,
and attends to her generally, lis the
bride is not expected to smile, speak, or
do any thing--for herself during the
whole day.
The bride's dress was most gorgeous.
The lower skirts was of green satin
embroidered with gold. Over this was
an overskirt with bright red satin elab
orately- emoroidered in rilt and gay
flowers. The loose upper robe-with 1
long tlowtng sleeves that entirely con
cealed her hands was of the same ma
terial as the latter and embroidered in
the same way. Over the shoulders was
worn a light cape, richly embroidered
and finished around the border with a
knr silk frinyre.
The poor creature looked as if she
was fairly exhausted with the weight
of her head-dress. By way of relief, or
through sympathy, the attendant often
supported with her hand the back of
her head.
The front head-dress was about a
foot high, made of brass and jet carved
m flowers and leaves, iter hair was
combed straight back and tied and ar
ranged so as to hold firm the other or
naments fastened in their places by
long pins. The whole back of the head
was covered with these ornaments made
of pearl, and glass beads of various col
ors. Hotiquets of artificial flowers and
long strings of beads suspended from
the head-dress almost hid her face.
After some minutes standing in this
eonspkuous place her lord was ushered suppressed merriment of the party
in by two gentlemen. His dress con-! that this petty impertinence was in

different from our order of things, the
parents had done all the lover-making
and arranged the terms. He was about
twenty-one and she three years his
junior. She had been educated in a
rohristian boarding school in Xingpo, a-
city aoout .twelve nines to the south
east of Hangchow, and had embraced
Christianity. The voting man
is also
a Christian, and medical student in
Dr. Main's Hospital. His father is
pastor of the Northern Presbyterian
.church in this city. Neither the par
ents nor any of Hie relatives of the
bride came with her to witness this im
portant ceremony. She with only her
attendant, arrived in the city several
days before the appointed day and took
up her abode in he house next door to
her in prospectu father-in-law's. I
imagine the youth's heart fairly ached
to catch one glimpse of his fair, "ladve
love", before the eventful day should
make them one. But custom ruled
more effectually than love (or curi
osity ( i1). The pair in which we are
interested took their stand about ajoot
apart in front of the minister (a Chi
naman.) They then sat down in
chairs which had been prepared for
them, and kifc1ie service was begun" by
siuging a hymn, followed by a prayer.
The minister- then read some verses
from the Bible, after which the couple,
still maintaining their " distance of a
foot or more, stood up to receive the
rows, which after till were taken only
by him as she did not dare speak or
make any motion unassisted by her at
tendant. If the attendant promised
for her in this instance it escaped my
attention as I had almost lost siglit of
her in civ assiduous endeavors to watch
the bride. But I do think this bride
was exceedingly shrewd in thus leaving
for herself a ''getting out place." I
looked on in eager expectation to see
him dce the little hand her had never
held oefore, but to my disappointment
the ceremony of ''joining right hand'
omitted. The' again sat down and was
we had two more by iu us and prayers
and the benediction.

Th3 Three Cherry Stones.
When 1 was a sehooiboy, more thai,
.it'ty years ago, 1 rcmeuncr io havt
read a story Wmcn maj Uave been",
action, bur wjiicli was very iintnraih
told, and made a deep impression upon
me then. 1 will endeavor to draw it
forth from the locker of mv memory,
relate it ie.ni a - l leeoiieet.
Thiee young gentlemen, who hffl
finished tne dlost substantial part of
their repast, vrere lingering over their
fruit and wine at a tavern in London,
wiien a man ot middle a'e and tm.iUi.
tat tire entered the public room where
cheJ Were Sltta!1 seated himself atone
end of a small unoccupied table, and
cahmg tne waiter, order a simple mat
ron chop and a glass of ale. His ;tp
pearanee, at first view, was not likely
to arrest the atten ion oi any one. las
hair was beginning to be thin and
gray; the expression of his countenance
was sedate, with a slight touch, par
haps, of melancholy: and he wore a
gray suriout with a standing collar,
which manifestly had seen service. it
the wearer had not just such a
thing as an officer would bestow upen
his serving. man. He miirht be taken.
plausibly enough, for a country magjs-
trate, or an attorney of limited practice
or a schoolmaster.
He continued to masticate his chop
and sip his ale i i silence, without lifting
his eyes from the table, unt . a cue. ry
stone, sportively snapped from the
thumb and finger of one of ::ie gentle
men at the opposite table, struck h tin
upon his right, ear. His eye was in
stantly "upon the aggressor, and lrfs
ready intelligence gatherer from ill-
burst ot irresjstable laughter proceeded
from the group
Unmoved by this rudeness the
stranger continued to finish his frugal
repast in quiet, until another cherry
stone, from the same hand, struck him
upon the right elbow. This also, to
the infinite amusement of the other
party, he picked from the floor, and
carefully deposited with the first.
Amidst shouts of laughter a third
cherry-stone was soon after discharged,
which hit him upon the left bretist.
Til is also he very deliberately took
from the floor, and deposited with the
others.
As he rose and was engaged in
paying for his repast, the gaiety of
these sporting gentlemen became
slightly subdued. It was not easy to
account for this. Lavater would not
have been able to detect the slightest
evidence of irritation or resentment
upon the features of the stranger. He
seemed a little taller, to bj sure, and
the carriage of his head might have
appeared to them rather more erect.
He walked to the t:ble at which thev
were sitting, and with that air of dig
nified calmness which is a thousand
times more terrible than wrath, dreyv
a card from his pocket and presented it
with perfect civility to the offender,
who could do no less than offer his own
in return. While the stranger unclos
ed his stir tout, to take the card from
his pocket, they had a glance at the
undress cotit of a military man. Tne
card disclosed his rank, and. a brief
inquiry at the bar was sufficient for the
rest. He was a captain whom iil
health and long service had entitled to
half-pay. In earlier life he had been
engaged in several affairs of honor, and.
in the dialect of the fancy, was a dead
shot.
The next morning a note arrived at
the aggressor's residence, containing a
challenge, in form, and one of the
stones. The truth then flashed before
the challenged party it was the chajl
lc tiger's, -intention to make three bites
at this cherry three separate affairs
out of this i0i warrantable frolic ! The
challenge was accepted, and the clkal
fenged party, in defense to the challen
ger's reputed skill with the pistol, had
half decided upon the smallsword; but
his friends, wb were on the alert, sooui
discovered that the captain, who had
risen by .his mrit. lad iu the earlier
aay oi his necessity, gained his bread
.is in ; ccoroplished in the use of that
weapon.

Agaii they met fired fcinvultane
ously, and tbe captain, who was un
hurt, shattered the right elbow of hi
antagonist the very point upon which
he had been struck with the cherry
stone; and here ended the second lesson,
There was something awfully inipres
sive in the modus operandi and exquis
ite skill of his antagonist. The third
cherry-stone was still in his possession,
and the aggressor had not forgot ton
that it had struck the unoffending-gentleman
upon the left breast. A month
had passed another and another, of
terrible suspense but nothing was heard
from the captain. Intelligence had
been received that he was confined to
his lodging by illness.
At length the gentleman who had
been his second in the former duels
once more presented himself, and ten
dered another note, which. as the recipi
ent perceived on taking it. contained
the last of the cherry-stones. The
note was superscribed in the captain's
well-known hand, but it was the writ
ting evidently of one who wrote feebly.
XJiere wais an unusual solemnity also
in the manner of him who delivered it.
The seal was broken, and there was the
cherry-stone in a blank envelope.
"And what, sir, am I to understand
by this?'" inquired the aggressor.
"You will understand, sir, that my
friend forgives you lie is dead?"
Anon.
The Courtship of Ciuails.
I once had the pleasure of witness
ing the courting and pairing off of a
flock of quail. I was sitting so I could
look down on a flat rock that stood up
higher than the tops of a thicket of
brush and weeds surrounding it near a
snrdl brook. I first heard the chatter
of quails in the brush. After holding
quite an animated confab one hen quail
Hew up on the rock and was followed
by five or six males. Miss Quail
strutted around a few times, apparently
not noticing her admirers, assuming
coquettish attitudes, and putting on
more style and affectation than a hu
man dudess of the present day. She
finally took a conspicuous position and
appeared to devote her entire attention
to herself. Her admirers, in the mean
time, stood around and looked at each
other with defiant eye and mien. They
then began to strut around, spread and
trail their wings, try graceful walks
and poises, each striving to outdo the
others. The more thev tried to make s
favorable impression before Miss Quail
the more excited they became, until
thev went to fighting.
They fought hard and furiously, un
til at last one of them, by a fortunate
pass, knocked his antagonist off the
rock. He did not stop, but pitched
into the hrst one he came to. and then
kept knocking one off at a time until
there was but one left. The victor
took one comprehensive look over the
field of battle, struck up a rattling
chatter and walked up to Miss Quail,
strutted around a few times with self
importance enough for a United States
Senator, keeping up a ratt ling string of
of- well, blarney, I suppose. Finally
they rubbed heads sind hills together,
walked to the north side of the rock,
rose simultaneously and flew away,
lighting together, ready for house
keeping. Another hen then came upon
the rock with three or four males and
went through the same form of court
ing, and to the victor the reward of
a wife. So it went on until all the
hejis were mated and gone--S'i Diego
Sun.
"Don't Marry Him!"
"He is such a fickle, inconstant fellow,
you will never be haonv with him," said
Esther's friends when they lenrned-of her
engagement to a young man who bore the
reputation of being a sad flirt. Esther,
however, knew that her lover laid "rood
qualities, and she was willing to take the
risk. In nine cases out ot ten it would
have proved a mistake: but Esther was
an uncommon girl and to every one s
surprise Fred made a model husband.
How yas it ? Well, Esther had a cheer
ful, sunny temper and a great deal of
tact. Then she enjoyed perfect health

John (J. Calhoun, in all the qualities
that constitucd true greatness, was un
doubtedly the greatest man, estimating
greatness according to its intellectual
and moral qualities, that our country
has produced. In the outset of litV
nature had stamped her impress of
greatness uppn him. When a boy at
Yale, President Dwight was impressed
with his extraordinary endowments
and predicted his future distinction.
Hi- prediction was soon verified. He
hail scarcely entered the arena before
the people of South Carolina called
him into public service and his career
thereafter was one triumphant march
in the national councils, from the
House of Representatives, into the
executive cabinet as Secretary of War,
to the Senate, to the VicePresidency
and again to the Senate, the great field
of his fam". -and always, he met no
peer to divide his honors of statesman
ship. The only man he met that put
him upon his mettle in his triumphal
career in the public service was Daniel
Webster, of Massachusetts, a man un
questionably of great and vr.ried pow
ers, an overmatch for any man on the
floor of the Senate while Calhe ua wa;
its presiding officer as Vice President.
and to meet Whom in debate in the
Senate Mr. Calhoun resigned his office
of Vice President and was sent to the
Senate from South Carolina, for the
express purpose of meeting Mr. Web
ster in debate; and the consequence
was the most masterly discussion ih:r.
has ever taken place in our parliament
ary hist cry--the discussion between
Calhoun and Webster of the "Theory
of the Constitution.1 That debate is
on the record and has passed into his
tory: it speaks for itself and the judg
ment of posterity has followed the
truth of its logical deductions, but an
incident of tbe times tells the impres
sion which it made at the time and on
the snot. .John Randolph of Virginia,
cn route for Philadelphia, where he
died, stopped iu Washington and was
carried to the Senate hall, in feeble
health, in the arms of faithful Juba, to
hear the debate. He was placed in a
chair in tiie lobby, and listened, silent
and attentive, and the debate proceed
ed. Mr. Webater opened the discus
sion in a speech of much power. Mr.
Calhoun replied in a speech of no
extraordinary ability. Mr. Webster
rejoined in a speech of extraordinary
oower. which exhibited till the polished
weapons of his well equipped Parlia
mentary armory. -Hi-; friends were
delighted and testified their delight by
demonstrations of applause from crowd
ed house aud gallery. They supposed
his victory complete. Mr. Calhoun
replied in' a long speech, of which our
parliamentary debates furnished no
parallel. One of thr best Judges has
pronounced it "unsurpassed by any
recorded in modern or ancient times
not even excepting that of the great
Athenian on the crown." When Cal
houn sat down, Mr. Webster rose and
attempted a reply, and after a few
short, confused, cuibarras-ed rem irks,
sat down and his defeat was confessei
by his disturbed in. inner. After Mr.
Webster sat down. John K mdolph, in
his feeble but shrill voice which pene
trated throughout the audience ex
claimed: "He's dead, he's deid, he's
dead. I've seen him dying for half an

A Fleet Walk3r anl a Belated Man.
Late Tuesday evening Mr. Joe Tea-
gue or Iransylvauia reached here to
attend the Federal court. He found
that tribunal gone and forgotten, and
he was a little wrathy. He walked all
the way. He lives up among the
mountains ou the very head of the
French Broad. ' On the morning he
left he had struck off across a mountain
to visit some turke blinds, and then
turned his steps to sheviile which he
reached as above stated. His day's
walk was sixty miles, which he made
without apparent f at igu e. A ;i e r i!h

spring chicken, a guinea pig. or some
other small animal, but thus far he
fthas shown no mclfhatian- to partake of
any of them. Difficult as it is to in-
duce them to eat live food, it would bei
uttterly impossible to get them to
touch dead meat or to mix up cry food
which thev would.take. If we should ll
Ube prohibited from giving live food to
our snakes we would be obliged to give
up keeping them. T cannot see r.ny
thing cruel about giving live food to
the snakes. It is their natural way of
living, and I see no reason why they
should not live in the sam way in
confinement Most people have nn
idea that we feed the snakes before the
visitors, but it is not so. jjWe never
feed them until after the last visitor
has left the grounds at night, and then
