When spiritualism first made its ap pearance in too Tillage of , otd Dea con Isaacs, a rich man who has stood by the church for nearly threescore years, was exceeding!) bitter against all believ ers in the "devil's work, as ha called it, and denounced spiritualists and spiritu alism in no very gentle language. Im agine the deacon's anger, then, when six months afterward he found it had worked its way into his family, aad not only were his wife and daughters believers, bat one of them was a medium, and possessed full power to converse with the spirits of those who had departed to that "bourne from which no traveler returns." . Deacon Isaacs was mad. dreadful! v . ' ef mad ; but he had wit enough not to shew it, and he bore the taunts of the ungodly with a meek spirit. He knew it would be useless to declare upon war ; for Mrs. Isaacs alone had proved more than a match for him, and he was sure to be de feated. - He must "circumvent the crit ter." as he expreaaed it, and to this end he set h mselt to work. He was a man of sound judgment, and his worldly experi ence of fifty years was not thrown away. From the day it first came to his knewU edge that his wife and daughters wre spiritualists be never spoke a word against nor did be ever allude to it, except in general terms in his morning prayers; but any one could see that it troubled him ; for be was absent-minded, bis eyes wandered restlessly, and he looked care worn The deacon witnessed one or two "sit tings" at his own house, and was satisfied that if be possessed a little more know ledge be could get rid of them. So one morning he started for the city, deter mined to thoroughly investigate the sub ject before he returned. After visiting two of the most popular mediums, and paying bis money, be returned home, sat isfied that be could see through it. There was a "sitting" at the deacon's house on the night he returned : aud his daughter Mary the medium invited the deacon to take a seat at the table, which, to her gratificatisjp, was accepted. The spirits were in good tune, and so ex ceedingly communicative that the deacon was induced to ask a few questions, which were readily answered, and the wife and daughters were in ectacies at the thought l hat father would yet be a believer, and urged the deacon on in his inquiries. "Has my wife always been true to her marriage vows ?" asked the deacon. , To this question there were no raps in return, while Mrs. Isaacs sat transfixed with huly horror that such a thought should enter her husband's mind. "How many years have passed since she was untrue ?" Answer by single raps. Then came slowly and solemnly, one, two, three or four, and so on, until they reached twenty. "How many who claim to be are not my children Vr . Again the spirits rapped one, two. Mrs. issues looked dumbfounded. "Merey !" said Mary. "Which are they 1" asked the deacon, who now seamed so intent on his subject thn he paid no attention to his compan ions. "Mary, Sarah," rapped the spirits, the na nes of the two daughters, the older of which was under twenty. Mrs. Isaac could 6tand it no longer. "It's a lie! I didn't! it's a lie!" the shrieked, rising from the , table. "They are your children, Deacon Isaacs : and God knows it." gfji "But the spirits affirm differently," said the deacon in a solemn voice. "Then they lie V said the wife. "But, if yon believe them in everything else, why not in this f" "But I don't believe in them at all ; it is all foolery w "Nor 1 !" shonted Mary. Nor P." added Sarah. "Then," sa d the deacon, while a smile illuminated h s countenance, "we will bid them good -by, and leave those things which God has wisely hid from us to be revealed in bis tine," The deacon's evening devotions were characterized with more earnestness than 1 usual, and the family letired fully satisfi ed that the spirits and mediums did' not always reveal the truth. Mrs. Isaacs was so glad that none of the neighbors were present ; but somehow the story got wind, and so fearful were the spirit darr.es of N that they might be naught in the same trap which the dea con had set that spiritualism was, driven entirely from the village. A Quaker Wedding:. Few indeed have had the privilege of witnessing a Quaker wedding. To roost of our readers the following description will prove a revelation : Beneath the mirror ; in a front, parlor a sofa had been placed for the brid and groom, and upon either side were chairs for the best man and woman. The friends and relatives being assembled, the best mail and woman entered the back parlor, followed by the bridal pair. They walk ed the entire length of the parlors, and amid a profound silence took the seats designated fur them. For about five minutes, during which a silent prayer i supposed to have been offered, no one spoke or moved. The bride sat like a statue, with downcast eyas, but blushing perceptibly. The whole scene appeared more like a tableau than an ordinary wed ding ceremony. After enduring the si lence as long as seemed desirable, the bridegroom and bride arose, taking each other by the right band, when the bride groom said : "In the presence of the Lord and these people, I take thee, Amy, to be my wife promising, by the divine assistance, to be unto thee a loving and faithful husband until death doth part us." Then Amy said the same words to Eu gene, stumbling a little at the word "hus band." At the conclusion of this part of the ccremonv the company was again seated, and silence eigned profound. The bride was dressed after the ordinary fashion, in a white cashimere, and train trimmed with white satin pompadour waist, laoe underwaist, vail, orange flow ers, etc. etc. During the silence succeeding the cere mony, an opportunity was offered for any of the friends to address the couple if spirit moved. After waiting some time u quiet, motherly-looking lady made the following ejaculation : "This is indeed a very solemn cercmo ny, and we all need the divine assistance in living up to its requirements." Another period of silence, and the bridegroom arose and kissed the bride, whereupon the best man and woman did the same thing. At this stage of the proceedings the best man, with an assistant, brought a small table into the room, upon which was a marriage certificate in the shape of a scroll, a pen and inkstand, and placed it in front of the bridegroom. He signed his nam to the contract, and then the bride assumed for the first time the name of her husband. Immediately after the signatures bad been affixed to the docu ment, a gentleman took the certificate and read it aloud to the company. The contract having been signed and read, it was now taken to the back-parlor where it remained throughout the even ing, during which time the signatures of all who witnessed the marriage was affix ed. The people now pressed toward the newly-married pair, the nearest relatives going first and others following in their appropriate crder. As the uncles and elderly gentleman relatives kissed the bride, they slipped a fifty dollar bill in to her band as part payment for the kiss Immediately after congratulations, the dining-room was thrown open, and the wedding sapper announced. This was much like that at any other wedding, only the bridal party sat at An elevated table, and the bridal cake was not cut. The whole ceremony consumed about one hour. Between fifty and sixty signa tures of the relatives of the bride and bridegroom were appended to the parch ment. This is a good custom,' aad serves to call to mind each one present at the wedding. It i a little curious that the marriage certificate has to be procured in Philadelphia. It is afforded at the reas onable price of $5. A new gold pen and case is always purchased for the signing of the contract. This mny be pre en ted by the husband to his wife. Before the final performance of the cere mony, several rehearsals are are gone through in private The friends receive presents like other people, but to cards are issued. Besides the usual presents of .silver-warp, jewels, laces, etc., they give household goods, such as blankets, counterpanes, linen, etc. These are displayed with the rest. Wood's Household Advocate. A Short Lecture? to Yi Manv persons are ia the habit of s ee-jing tor halt or an hoar imiaediaUy after dinner. Tins is a bad practice. Ten minutes sleep before dinner is worth more mora than an hour after. It rests sad re freshes and prepares the system for vigor ous digestion. If sleep L taken after din ner it should be ia a sitting posture, a the horizontal position is uofavorub'e to health fill digestion. Let those who need rest and sleep during the day take it before dinner instead of after, and they will soon find that they will feel better, aad that their digestion will be improved thereby Herald of Health, It is all the fashion to lectu re, as w it- ness Josh Billings, Nasby, aad lota of othe r fools no, I mean funny men and of course I want to be in fashion ; so, as young maa need lecturing about as much as any thing I know of. 1 will begin with .1 I And firstly: Don't begin the world with the idea that thuia a certain quan tity of wild oats to he sown to get Um ground ready for a crop of tame ones. You have most of you seen that tall, rank weed with a yellow blossom which bears after the blossom, a burr of which are called "beggar lice." Pms by them aad they fall off and stick to your clothes, and stick, aad stick ! and if you by dint of hard brushing aad prickled fingers, suc ceed in ridding yourselves of them, they most likely have gone where the next pasrer-by will be troubled by them. Aad their sprawling, ungainly stalk has taken as much vitality from the earth as a strawberry vine or a rosebush would have done. It is like wild oats, just as ungainly, just as disagreeable to your friends, and just as needless. No more so. Secondly : Don't swear. The truth is good enough without it and falsehood is none the better with it. Two-thirds of the sensible people have a feeling that a story which needs confirming by an oath is like a house which needs propping with a shore, rather unstable and dangerous in a storm. I have known a swearer him self to declare his mortification at the company of another no more profam than himself. Thirdly : Look out for your repute tion. If that gets bad, be sure it is the outcropping from a diseased branch in your character ; and a reputation once patched is as likely to show the blemish as a china plate with a pice pattied out its eage. vjroing aown nui is easy, easier. than going up, while your face is toward the bottom. It is like playing Larry O'Gaff; you csn begin anywhere, but if yon go on till you come to a stopping place, you may play till your bow it worn out and your strings broken. Your fid dle is gone, but the music remains E'a capo from everlasting even to everlas ting. Fourthly : Take your sisters with yoa to places of amusement, thus making sure tbey are in company with a confounded good fellow ; then of course you will he ure they are in no danger. Don't ex cuse yourself by saying that the place or the company is not fit. If it is good enough for you it is equally so for them unless by keeping bad associations you have fallen a long way below them in which case a continuance of evil will not raise you again to their level. Fifthly : Learn to take care of your self and net depend on mother and sis to button your collar, put away your slip pers and pipe, (if you are fool enough to smoke one,) hunt up the book you have mislaid, or hang op your hat and over coat ; otherwise you mny have the riches of a Jeer, the beauty of Apollo, and the good nature of a clown, without the facul ty of making a good husband. Sixthly : Don't scowl at your children and call them " brats" or "nuisance." People who live in glass houses ought to know better than to throw stones, aad you should consider that it is utterly im possible for anything huma.i to be more hateful than you were when this same sister was being courted, unless the ex ception be made in favor of the "to he's," when you yourself shall have been mar ried a few years. Seventhly : Don't regard life as a p'uy ground and every working day aa a hard ship. The only person! ever knew who had Fourth of July all the year round is old Yankee Doodle. Eightly, and lastly : When you go courting don't stay till into saw small hours, thus giving the young tody red eyes and S headache the next day, or, what is equally as bad, s lata hreakfswt and a volley of raillery from bar big brother, who has not yet beg :n to run up a gad bill for somebody else to pay You may be very brilliant snd enteitaia ing probably you are bat I tall you she would much prefer ta swallow it in smaller doses Of course she cannot tell yon so ; if would not ha polka; bat she thinks it all the time after eleven. Yon may depend on what I say, for I had a beau once myself, and it is not so long since bo' 'I can remember that ! was man y times twice glad when ha name and ha want. Hon Hollt Wide ST MBS. M. O. JONBSOK. dent of the Little Wanderers Horn e m Bos tot received one morning a rwltfawltiut the Judge trial he would come to the court room. He complied directly, aad found there a group of seven little girls, ragged, dirty, and Mprabeyood what even ha a but a was accustomed to see. The Judge point, ted to them, (utterly homeless as fHedB less,) aad said: "Mr. T . east nek take any of these T" "Certainly ; I'll take them all." was hie prompt reply.

They were washed and dressed, aad provided with a good sapper aad beds. The next mors ning they went into tbe school room with the rest of the children. Mary was the name of the little girl whose nhanos for hatter the Judge thought so small, Du ring she forenoon, the teacher said to Mr. T , in referenoe to her, "I never saw a child like that, I have triad far aa hour to gat a singls smile and failed," Mr. T -said afterward himself that her face was the saddest he had over seen sorrowful beyond expression yet aha was a very little girl, only fire or sj yenfjf o After school he called her into his office and said pleasantly : "Mary I've lota my little pet I used to nave a little girl here that would wait on me, and sit on my knee, aad I loved her very much. A kind gentleman and lady adopted her aad she went to live with them. I miss her, and I should like you to take her place, and be my little pet tow.

While aha was eat ha took two or three newsy Basra, tirrs ihaai in pieees, and scattered them about the room. When she returned, in a few rain -utes, he said to her, "Mary, will you clear up any office a little for me 1 Pick up these papers, and make it loafs isjaw nice . . i - 1 tH She went to work with a will. A little more of this sort of maaagemeat-ia fsct treating her just aa a kind father wonid- wrought the dssired result. She went into the school room after dinner wtU&o changed a look and bearing that the teach er was astonished. The child's face was absolutely radiant; and half-fearful of soma mental wandering she went to ber and said: "Mary, what hi K1 What makes you look so happy V 'Oh!
