Among the passengers from Napo- leon 18 a solemn-looking gentleman who has all along been taken for a preacher. About 9 o’clock last night I was conver: ing with the “reverend” individual when 2 young man stepped up, and addressing him remarked: “We're going to have a wedding and would like to have you offi- ciate All right, sir,”” he “replied langhingly, and wo stepped into the ladies’ eabin, where sure enough the couple stood waiting. There had been several “kissing games” and_soveral mock marriages gono through with du ing the ovening, and I supposed that th was merely a continuation of the sport, and so thought the preacher who 1 could see brad a good deal of humor in him,and was inclined to promote general good foeling and merriment. The couple stood up before him—a good deal more solemn than was necessary in moc! marriage, I thought—and the *‘preacher’ asked the necessary questions, and then proceeding in the usual way announced them “husband and wife.” There was a good deal of fun after- rds, ana when it was over 1 left the cabin and so did the “‘preacher,’ who re- marked to me that he liked to see the young folks enjoying themselves and took a good deal of pleasure in con- tributing o their fun, but he did not sce why they selected him to act as the preacher. Just then some one called me aside and the old gentleman stepped 1nto hiz state-room, which was next to mine, When I returned the door stood open and the “preacher’ stood just inside, with his coat and vest off and one boot in his hand, talking with the gentloman who had played the “attendant,” and who, I came up, remarked: Well, if that's the case, it's a good joke, for they nre dead in earnest and have gone to the same state-room.” The old ntleman raised both hands he exclzimed: “Good heayens! you don’t tell me so!”” and rushing, just as he was, boot in hand, to the state-room indi- cated, commenced an assault on the door as if he would break it down, exclaiming at each lick: “‘For heayen's sake remember L ain't a preacher!” The whole cabin was aroused, every state-room flying open with a slam, when the door opencd and tho “Arkansas traveler,” poking out his head, coolly re- marked: *‘Old hoss, you're too late. stay hitched!” Guess we'll Views of a Husband Trainer.

A par- ticular stone was regarded as sacred to each month of the year, a meaning or language was given to each, and 1t was supposed that good luck and prosperity would be insured to those who wore con- the stone belonging to the month in which they were born. It is still cus- tomary among lovers and friends to notice the significance atfached to the various stones in making birthday, en- gagemont and wedding presents, The stones sacred to the different months and the language of each are as follows y, garnet; constancy and fidel- ity in every engagement, February, amethyst; against violent passions, March, bloodstone; courage, and firmness in afliction. April, diamond; denotes faith, inno- cence and virginity. May, emerald; discovers false friend and insures true love. June, agate; msures long life, health and prosperity, July, ruby; discovers poisons and cor- 1s resulting from mistaken friendship. August, sardony: felicity. Septembea, "sapphire; frees from en chantment, and denotes repentance. October, " opal; denotes hopa, and sharpens the sight and faith of (the pos- sessor. November, topaz: fidelity and friznd- ship, and prevents bad dreams. ember, turquois; gives sucecess, es- pecially in love. # Among other stones the moonstone protects from harm and danger; the heli- otrope or tbloodstone enables one to walk invisible; the pearl isan emblem of purity, and gives clearness to mental and physical sight; and the cat's-eye en- iches the wearer. —_— “Doing" a Doctor, M.
