Story for Bows.

It is related of a Partisan mother, that
on her giving her son forty pieces of sill
yer as his portion, she made him swear
never to tell a lie, and said
go, my son, | consign thee to God,
we shall not meet again till the day Of
judgment"
The youth went away, and the par
ty he travelled with were assaulted by
robbers.
One fellow asked the boy what he had,
and be answered:
Forty dinars are sewed up in my
garments"
The robber laughed thinking the boy
tested. Another asked the same question
and received the same answer AT last
the chief called him, and asked him what
he had. The boy replied:
81 have told two Of your people alrea-
dy that | had forty dinars sewed up il
my clothes.''
The chief ordered the clothes to be
ripped open, and the money was found.
"And how came you 10 tell this 2"
Because" replied the boy, 81 would

The sin was long since atoned for. and
at last the little spot of sunshine crept il
his cell, and entering by the key-hole Of
his door led him forth into the bright rays
Of liberty. He was conducted 20 the Of
fee Of the prison by McGaw, and a cit
izen's dress, in place of a prison suit
given him, and led into an inner room,
where stood she who, years before, had
promised before God to be his. What a
meeting!
On the evening train the two arrived
in this city, and were, by one of our d.
vines, Joined in marriage. We were wit
nesses to the ceremony, and shall never
forget it. Never forget the eye moist
ened with happiness, nor the throbbing
of the heart that had so long waited and
trusted. Saved, saved! May the future
be all the brighter for the cloud that has
hung so long over it, and true friends
ever ready TO lend a helping hand. We
believe IN woman's loye--in wOman's de-
votion the more, after knowing the facts
above stated. God bless the true heart
wherever found.

What a LIttle SaTIng HIlI do.

Figures sometimes produce almost in-
credible results. Thus. for instance, if
a young man, Oh his twentieth birthday,
will invest 500 in any stock paying ten
per cent. annually, and thereafter will
invest the same amount and the accumu-
lali1n of interest, he will be worth when
he is thirty years old, Sl,753. when for
ty years old, sc $500, whenf fifty years old.
S1S,l50. when sixty years oil, 300.
How simple, then, is the plan by which
a youth of the present day can pass his
old age in comfort and luxury! He has
only to regulate his expenses so as to
save one hundred dollars from his income.
If the amount saved be large, then the
sum total will be increased in proper
ton. Only think of it, that $500 saved
annually, and invested in ten per cent.
stock, will amount in forty years to S243.
500, Sl,0O0,000 invested in the Same
way for ten years will amount to So.
5S8,0OO, in twenty years to Sc, 746, 600,
in thirty years to 81, 1884 ,628, in forty
years to $40, 250,608. No wonder, ther
that the Rothchilds have amassed such
boundless fortunes.

The Sennel.

Our readers have all heard lhsrst0ry
of soaping the clergyman's Tin hornaS
the camp meetings. that when be
went TO call the congregation tOgetherghs
blew the soft soap over his brother cler-
gymen, and how he exclaimed:
Brethren, / have served the LordifoE
thirty years, and in that time have never
uttered a profane word, but III be id
if l can't whip the man that soaped that
horn !" ae11lh
Our readers, we say, have all heard Of
this, but perhaps never heard the sequel
as given to IS yesterday by a gentleman
present.
Some two days after G tall, sWarlhys
villainous looking desperate strolled on
the grounds and leaned against a tree5
listening to the eloquent exhortation to
repent which was being made by The
preacher. After a while he became g..
terested, finally affected. and then tooka
position on the anxious seat, and with bis
face between his hands commended

sorrow. The clergyman walked down

said. Oh. no-ihere was pard1n for The,
vilest. No, he was TOO wicked-hsre

"Oh! worse than that -
What have YOU BY violence robbed

"Worse than-Oh worse than thatiD

preacher.
Worse than that" groaned the smil.

The excited preacher commenced "pesl.

We find the following in the Columbus
Enquirer, a paper which has always given
honest credits, or else we should suspect
it was a sly "Punch," from some sarcas-
tic observer across the Atlantic:
july 5, 1S90.-Mr d. Farcer, DEM,
of Kentucky, brought forward a motion
for the suppression of oral discussion in
the Legislature. The honorable mem
Der proposed, as a substitute, that all
questions at issue should be settled by
single combat, ~bowie-knife or pistol
Honorable members were, up TO the pres
ent period, in the habit Of sticking at no.
thing, and he (Mr. Farcer) thought that
this proposal would certainly obyiate
such a state of things By giving them
something to stick at.
Mr.. Barker, (Dem.) of Virginia, sec
onded the motion, and also he would be
happy to second any of the combatants
In want of his assistance. He believed
his qualifications in this respect were
we'll known to the honorable House; and
if any member was ignorant of them, he
would take the liberty Of recapitulating
The honorable member was here proceed
ling to give the details of several san
culinary difficulties, when he was inter
ruPled by HI 81
Mr. White, (Whig) of Tenn. What
dges the honorable member mean when
thrusting the details of his duels on the
House? Good wine needs no bush, and
a successful duelist needs no praise
There was no danger of the honorable
members deeds not being Irumpeted tc
the world, because everybody knows thai
"murder will out"
Mr.. Barker-You are a liar and a
thief! mo sensation whatever
Mr.. Whittle-The honorable rascal
opposite has called me a liar and a thief
l believe that the House will support me
when / term him a murder and as.
sassin. CLess sensation than before.)
MI. Barker-Who robbed the mar or
the steamboat? A-h.h!
Mr. Whittle-Who ran away from the
Revere House without paying his bill
E-h-h!
Mr.. Barker Shaking his fst)-silvel
spoons.
Mr.. Whitle-I did not insure my
house for double its value and then set i
onfre.
Mr.. Barker If the honorable member
amt a coward, he'll have it out with me
now.
Mr.. White Dumping on the table
Come on you rufian.
The Speaker-Fair play, gentlemen
Recollect, if you please, that the pro.
ceedings viii be reported.
The honorable members then had a Sc
to, in which both displayed considerable
science, and a great deal of luminosity
Bets ran high as to who would win. anC
we understand that the Speaker speculate
ed heavily. After five rounds, however
White gave in, and Barker was carried
home by his triumphant friends. We be.
lieve that a meeting between the gen.
tlemen is arranged to come off to-mor.
row. This incident a~greeably relieve
the monotony of the weeks debates, tina
were growing exceedingly tedious.

Two ElOpements in one Family the
Same Night!

In our last issue we noticed the fact that
a young couple from Fayette County KY,
arrived at the Burnet House, Tuesday
night and we're married almost immedi-
ately after, the young man being greatly
alarmed lest his father. who he once
thought he saw at a station on the rail-
way between this city and Cynthiana,
was in close pursuit, and might arrive ia
time to tear his betrothed from his arms.
The sequel TO the story, which was de-
veloPed in a few hours later, is as fol-
lows:
While the young couple we're receiving
the congratulations of those who had wit
messed the ceremony at the Burnett, a sim
liar tragedy, or comedy-whicheYer the
reader pleases-was being enacted at the
Spencer House. The young man had not
been mistaken when be thought he saw
his father on the road, for the old ras-
cal, who, it seems, was IN the same hu-
mor with his son, had actually eloped
with a young widow in his neighborhood,
and came to this city on the same errand
and on the same train. They escaped re-
cognition by taking, as it happened, diff
ferent cars, and stopping at difenent no.
tells.
When the young nan learned how
matters stood, accompanied by his bride,
he repaired to the Spencer House, and
sending his card up to the old gentleman.
who little suspected nat his hopeful off,
spring was in the city, much less mar
ried, he came down unattended, when the
following conversation took place.
Old Gentleman-"WeH sir; what are
you doing here 3"
Young Gentleman-"I learned last
evening that you were about TO elope with
widow --, and have followed you to
the city to see if it could be possible you
could do such a thing"
0. G.-"That's very considerate in
you, young man, Spoken somewhat tart
w. but is it any particular business of
yours what | dog"
Y. Go, no but the example, the
o. Grounds sir, do you come TO
teach me propriety? Don't you suppose
| know what's right and wrong2"
Y. G.-"Why certainly you do, or you
ought to; but what would you say if |
were to do as you have done 2"
o. G.-"Say? l would say you had
more spirit than l ever gave you credit
of possessing"
Y. G.-"Woudnt you be angry"
o. G-"Of course not. you dog; but
weat makes you ask such a silly question
as hat 2"
The young blood here began a series
of ~gymnastic exercises, which made the
old gentleman think his son had sudden
ly been deprived of his wits. A moment
after, however, the young man darted cut
of the room, and before he father could
recover his self possession, he returned
with his blushing bride when the two
bent down before him, and half audibly
said, '.Your blessing"
1t was now the old mans turn to play
mad, but comprehending and forgiving all
in a moment, he only said:
"You young rascal! If you are this
bad now, what Will you be when you have
my years? Come up stairs and see your
mother"
Both couples left yesterday on the same
train for their "Old Kentucky Home."-
