telligence that his affianced bride was
slaye, and had just been sold to fate
worse than death, like a true man he
determined to rescue her That night
he saw her, and a plan was formed for
flight.
The day she was transferred to the
possession Of her purchaser, they fled.
and in due time arrived at Cincinnati
where they were married Our hero Oh
tanned an interview with one Of the
agents of the under ground railroad, To-
Gated i'll that city, who Immediately tel
egraphed instructions to the different
agents along the line, to keep strict
watch, and if woman catchefs were on
the watch at any point, to telegraph
back, and give the fugitiyes timely no
tlce, that they might leave the train
Accordingly, they started, purchasing
tickets for Crestline. -
In the meantime, the lawyer, as soon
as he discovered his loss, had common
Geo active measures to recover it. He
had no difficulty in tracing them to Gin
cinnati, and none whatever in ascer-
tanning that their destination was Crest
line. But having arrived several hours
after their departure, he was obliged to
tenthimselfby telegraphing to Crest
line to the proper officers to arrest them
at that place. Bat unfortunately for his
prospects, the intended arrests got wind,
and when the train reached GALLON,
two citizens Of that place stepped into
the car, and conversation of a few mo-
ments insued in the lowest kind of whis

one Of our whole souled farmers, near
Bucyrus, who had long taken pleasure

Canadian Canaan.
w hen the train on which they en-
barked reached Crestline, the officials
were unutterably chargrined at not find

learned that she had been within four
miles OF them.
After lapse Of two weeks they ven
tured a move, and went to Detroit by
way of Sandusky City, and without &C
cident, reached the Canadian shore

DR. Ballamy.
New England used to be full of ira
ditions of the odd sayings of DR.. Bel
lamy, one of the most powerful thee
l0gians and preachers in his time. One
or two of his sayings circulated about
us in our childhood For example,
when one had built fire Of green wood,
he exclaimed, "Warm me here ia as
soon try to warm me by the starlight
on the north side Of tomb stone -
Speaking Of the chapel bell on Yale
College, he said, ut is about as good a
bell as fur cap with sleeps tail in
il"
A young minister, who made himself
conspicuous for a severe and denunci-
atory style of preaching, came to him
one day to inquire why he did not have
more success. "Why, man." said the
doctor, "can't you take lesson of the
fisherman? How do you go to work if
you want to catch trout? You get a |
little hook and fine liny, you bait it
carefully and throw it in as gently as
possible, aud then you sit and wait and
humor your fish till you get him ashore
Now, then, you get great od.hook
and rope line, and thrash it into the
water, and bawl out, Bits or bel
damned"
The doctor himself gained such a
reputation as an expert spiritual fisher
man, that some Of lis parishioners, ike
experienced old trout, played shy of his
hook, though never so sbilfully baited.
"Why, Mr.. Al said he TO an old
farmer in his ncighborhood, "they tell
me you are an atheist. Don't you BE-
lieye in the being Of God 20
NO" said the man.
g But, Mr.. A, let's look into this
You believe that the world around us
exists from some cause ?''
"No, [ don't!"
"Well, then, at any rate, you believe
in your own existence ?"
'No, l don't!"
"What! not believe that You exist
yourself?"
u tell you what, doctor, ] amt going
to be twitched up by any Of your syllo-
gisns, and so I tell you [ don't believe
any thing-and Pm not going to be-
lieye anything!"
PLEASING INCIDENT.-It is pleasant
amid the selfishneSs OF this cold world
to meet with an instance where warm
hearted and open handed charity is dis
played. The Portland Argus publishes
letter from travelling correspondent,
in which an instance Of this kind is al
luded to. He was travelling east from
Dunkirk. On reaching the depot on
Suspension Bridge, the conductor told
young man-whose health was very
feeble, and who was on his way to
Springfield, Mass, where he had friends
he must leave the cars, as he had no
money with which to pay his fare. Not
withstandiug the debilitated appear
ance Of the young man, he was suffered
to be led out OF the cars without any
movement being made for his relief
AS the young man was about stepping
off the platform, young lady arose in
the cars, and asked the conductor how
much the young mans fare would be
to that city. The conductor replied
"eight dollars" She Immediately step
ped to the door and told the invalid to
