An Unexpected Marriage.

Old Governor Salsonstall, of Con-
necticut, who Aourished about q half @
century ago, was a man OF some humor
as well as perseverance, in affecting the
ends desired. Among other anecdotes
told of him by the New London people,
the place where he resided, is the follow.
ing: s..,
Of the Various sects that have flour
iShing for day, and then ceased to ex.
iSt, was one known as the Rogerites, so
called from their founder, a Tom or
Jim, or some other Rogers. The dis.
tlnguishing tenent of the sect was the
denial OF the propriety Of the form Of
the marriage tie. They believed it was
not good for man to be alone, and also
that one wife only should cleave to her
husband, but then this should be mat.
ter of agreement merely, and the couple
should come together and live as hus.
band and wife. dispensing with all forms
of marriage covenant.
The old Governor often used to visit
Rogers, and talk the subject over with
him, and seek to convince him of the
impropriety of living with Sarah as he
did. But neither John nor Sarah would
give up the ergument. 1t was matter
of conscience with them; they were very
happy as they were-of what use could
a mere form be-suppoSe they did there
by invite scandal-were they not bound
to take up the cross, and live according
to the rules they professed? The Gov
ernor's logic was powerless to convince
them.
"Now, john" said the Governor after
a debate of the point, "why will you not
marry Sarah? Have you not taken her
to be your lawful wife?"

AN uNsoPHIsTIoATED GERMAN applied
at the Probate Court, Cincinnati, day
or two ago, for license to be unmar-
ried. He said he had been a soldier, in
his native country, and had seen a great
deal Of hardship; but welded life was
more than he could bear, as he declared,
if he could not get rid of his "frau," that
he would drown himself. The wife ofthe
German professed to feel a romantic at.
tachment for him at home, and even fol.
lowed him across the sea. Touched by
her devotion, and convinced of her sin.
cerity, he married her, six months ago,
and has since led the life, to use his own
language, Of a "leetle tog NIT to tin pail

Beef Factory,

A correspondent of the Maine Farm.
er, writing from Bluehill, Me-, says:
"The beef factory here, owned by
Messrs. Underwood & Co., of Boston,
will commence operations about the lst
of Oct next, when the meat will be sci.
entifcally cut from the quarters of twelve
or fifteen fat oxen per day, seasoned with
salt and pepper, put into tin cans hold
ing four pounds each, sealed up and con.
signed to baths of boiling water, where
they remain about six hours. None of
the juices OF the meat can escape, the
can being air tight when cooked. When
cooled, and the can opened, you find the
meat immersed in rich jelly and very
tender. 1t is the ne plus ultra of meat
cooking, afordiDg more nutriment than
when cooked any other way, and will
keep any length of time in any climate.
The United States Navy receives the
most Of it,"

THE GRAVE OF DOUGLAS.

"SrEpHEN A. DOUGLAS is buried by the shore
Of the lake, short distance from Chicago A
few boards around a small inclOsure are all
that mark the spot" ..
Douglas lies buried by the solemn shore ]
OF Michigan-the lake he loyed so we'll
And its resounding waters are his knell,
And his lament their never-ceasing roar.
No monumental marble marks the spot,
No stone, engraved with one recording line,
But n rude fence around the arrow lot,
Which holds his corse, whosespirit divine,
Is all that bids the passing traveller pause
Ger one who deemed it glorious to spend
His life in service Of his country's cause,
And who was firm and faithful to the end
He needs no stone; the lake exalts his fame,
And every wind that stirs it speaks his name

American Mechanics in France.

There is at .Montargis, in France,
about hours ride by rail from Paris, a
grand india, rubber factory, operated by
steam, and employing from 900 to 700
working people. The establishment was
built by the father of Louis Philippe,
and with the dwellings of those employ
ed in it, is said to resemble sort of ba,
ronal estate. The factory is managed
by Mr.. Hiram Hutchinson, formerly a
citizen of Newark, N. j., and President
of the Newark Ilda.ru5ber Company;
While While the two chief foremen are also
Americans. The establishment is own.
ed by corporation, who have factory
in Paris and another in Germany, and
their enterprise has not only made them
enormously rich, but been of very great
advantage to- France. The fact that
three American mechanics hold the chief
places in the employment of this great
French firm at Mortargis speaks elo.
quently in favor Of the mechanical skill
OF our country.

Spare Moments.

A lean, awkward boy came to the
door OF principal of a celebrated school,
one morning, and asked to see him. The
servant eyed his mean clothes, and think
ing he looked more like beggar than
anything else, told him to go round to
the kitchen. The boy did as he was
hidden, and soon appeared at the back
door.
II should like to see Mr.. -" said he.
"You want a breakfast, more like"
said the servant girl, "and can give
you that without troubling him."
"ThaEk you," said the boy; II should
like to see Mr.. -, if he can see me-"
"Some old clothes may be you want,
remarked the servant, again eyeing the
boys patched clothes. Il guess be has
none to spare-he gives away sight"
And without minding the boys request,
the servant went about her work.
"Can see Mr.. - again asked the
boy, after finishing his bread and butter.
"Well, he is in the library; if he must
be disturbed, be must. He does like to
be alone, sometimes" said the girl, in a
peevish tone.
She seemed to think it very foolish to
take such boy into her masters pres
ence. However, she wiped her hands
and bade him follow.
Opening the library door, she said
Heres somebody who is dreadful an6
ious to see you, and so I let him in"
l don't know how the boy introduced
himself, or how he opened the business
but know that after talking while
the principal put aside the volume that
he was studying, and took up somt
Greek books, and began to examine the
new. conner. The examination lasted fol
some time. Every question the princi
pal asked the boy, was answered as read

Thereafter to be seen no more, las, oft,
Indreams sstrangeimage will mix, sad thoughts
Pass'd o'ermy soul. Sorrowing, lcried, Fare
Pale, lovely planet, that displayd so soft [well,
Amid yon glowing streak thy transient bOaml,
A long, alast farewell! Seasons have changed,
Ages and empires rOll'd, like smoke, away,
But thou, unalter'd, beamest as silver fair
As on thy birthnight! Brightaud wa,chfu! eyes,
From palaces and bowers, have haiPd thy gem
With secret transport Natal star of love,
And souls that love the shadowy hour of fancy,
How much owe thee, how l bless thy ray!
How oft thy rising Ger the hamlet green,
Signal of rest, and social converse sweet,
Beneath some patriarchal tree, has cheer'd
The peasants heart, and drawn his benison.
Pride of the west beneath thy placid light
The tender tale shall never more BIO told,
Mans soul shall never wake to joy again:
Thou sett'st fOrever-lovely orb, farewell !
