Married the Wrong Woman.

The following good story Is told OF an
Austrian General who fell in love with
fair Venetian lady:
In spite of the inveterate aversion on the
part of the Venetians, it sometimes hap
pens that some of the dark-eyed daughters
of Venetia revenge the humiliation of their
country by vanquishing the heart of b.ue-
eyed German, who, despite the opposition
of the fair Italian friends, becomes the life
long slave of his charmer. But marriages
of this kind are exceedingly rare for the
Venetian women, to do them justice, have
always felt and resented the insult and deg
radiation to their country in its subjection to
the stranger, even more keenly than the
men.
Still, as we have observed, there are in
stances of Austrian officers marrying Vene-
tan ladies'; for love, who rules the g court,
the camp, and the grove" is not always a
respecter of patriotic feelings. His arrows
fly past the lines which statesmen and diplo-
matists have thrown to mark the bounda-
ries of nations, and transix hearts, whose
sole means of communication Is the :" Ian
guage of the eyes, into eternal unison.
One of these Austro-V Venetian marriages
which made considerable noise both in Ven
ice and Vienna, was between General Ga
blentz grim veteran of some fifty years of
age, and Signora Morisini, the sole daugh-
ter of the Signor Morisini, one of the veal
thiest of the merchant princes of Venice.
The General who was not supposed to be
marrying man, was one day in the autumn
of last year, taking leisurely stroll through
the Giardino Pubico, or Public Promenade.
The General was accompanied by young
subaltren, for whom he had evinced a great
liking.
All at once the attention of the veteran
was attracted by remarkably stately and
graceful lady walking in advance of them.
"Mein Gott' said the General, in a loud
harsh tone of voice, "but that is beautiful
figure of woman"
The abrupt loudness of the voice in which
this was spoken caused the object of the
Generals eulogy to turn suddenly round,
when wave of wind blew aside her veil,
and revealed face of the most perfect sym
metry, lighted up with pair of eyes
''large dark eyes, which fash upon you
volley of rays, which seem to say thousand
things at once" and which certainly dis:
charged upon well seasoned veteran fire
which moved and melted him more than the
fire of musketry or artillery to which he had
been exposed in the whole course of his
military life.
There and then old Gablentz.owned him
self completely vanquished The next step
was to prevail upon his enslaver or her guar
dian to accept the homage of the heart and
hand due to her victory.
Now, at the time, the General was per-
feet stranger to the lady. He had never

RICH MEN's SoNs.-H. Ward Beecher,
in sermon delivered at Plymouth Church,
last Sunday evening, produced the following
picture of rich men sons
''Men seem ashamed of labor, and often,
often you shall find men who have made
themselves respected in labor, have built up
a business and amassed a fortune, who turn
to their sons and say you shall never do
as did you shall lead different life you
shall be spared all this. Oh, these rich
mems sons They aim to lead life of ele-
CANT leisure and that is life Of emascula-
ted idleness and laziness. Like the polyp
that floats useless and nasty upon the sea, all
jelly, all fabby, no muscle, no bone-it shuts
and opens, and opens and shuts, and sucks
in and squirts out again, of no earthly ac-
count, influence, or fse Such are these poor
fools. Their parents toiled and grew strong,
built UP their frames Of iron and bone (; but
denying all this totheir sons, they turn them
upon the world boneless, muscleness, simple
grizzle, and soft at that What If you do
get your time reduced to eight hours, and
wages increased to IS, does that educate

POTATOES AND PRoGENY.-Mrs. s. c.
Hall, in her Sketches of Irish Character, +"
relates the following amusing anecdote 1t
is all about certain Lady Middleton, who,
contrary to her most anxious wish, was un-
blessed with any children. After an absence
of several years with her iege lord in Eng
land she returned with him to reside for
time on one of their Irish estates. AS the
carriage drove up to the mansion, she no
ticed several fine looking children about the
gate, and having learned that their mother
was the wife of the gate porter, she deter
mined to interrogate her, resistive to the
cause of her fecundity she, therefore, next
day, made her way down to the porter S
lodge, and commenced her inquiries
Whose children are these my good wo-
man ?''
''An my own, my good lady"
"What three infants of the same age "
Yes, my lady had three the lasttime. +"
How long have you been married p
Three years, your ladyship.'
"And how many children have you ?"
"Scven, my lady"
At last came the question of questions
how came she to have the children of chill
dren? The poor woman, not well knowing
what this catechism meant, and not know
ing how to wrap up in delicate words her idea
of cause and effect, blushed and grew con
fused, and at last replied-''I think it must
be the potatoes, my lady"
This unfolded theory of population quite
new to Lady Middleton, who eagerly de-
manded ''The potatoes Do you not eat
much of them ?'
"Oh, yes, my lady. Very seldom we have
bread, and so we take potatoes the year
round.
Greatly agitated with her new information,
the lady further asked-"And where do you
get the potatoes ?''
Well, said Lady Middletown, send me
up CARLOAD of the potatoes, and the stew
ard will pay for them.
Shortly after, her ladyship rose to leave
the house, and indeed, had left it, when the
woman ran after her and, blushing, with
some hesitation asked her, ''And sure my
lady, is it to have children that you want pos
tatoes p
1t was now the lady's turn to blush, and
replying in the afirmative-''B Because, ad-
ded the woman, II am thinking if it is, Pat
had better fetch them to you himself.

Our Fighting Editor.

The "John Bulr' newspaper, a highly
priced weekly, while edited by Theodore
Hook, frequently indulged in offensive per-
sonahties, in remarking on the character and
conduct of public men. A military hero
who would persist in placing himself con-
spicuously before the world gaze, received
a copious share of what he considered ma
lignant and ibellious abuse in the columns
of the said "Bull" His soldiers spirit
resolved on revenge. An officer and gen.
tleman could not demean himself by calling
on hireling scribbler for satisfaction No,
he would horsewhip the miscreant in his
own den-the Bull should be taken by the
hornsl Donning his uniform and arming
himself with huge whip, he called at the
Office OF the paper, and, scarcely concealing
his agitation, inquired for the editor. He
was invited by the clerk to take seat in
the inner room He complied, and was
kept in waiting, while the clerk, who recog-
nlzed the visitor, ran up stairs and informed
the editorial responsibilities of his name and
evident purposes. After an aggravating de-
lay, which served considerably to increase
the ill-temper of the officer, the door opened
and coarse, rough looking man, over six
feet in height, with proportionate breadth
of shoulder, and armed with bludgeon,
entered the room. Walking up to the sur
prised and angry visitor he said in a voice
of thunder, g Are you the chap as wants to
see me ?"
You? No 1 wish to see the editor of
this paper"
THAT me. am the VERY man.
There must be some mistake"
Not a morsel I'm the head-hitter of
this Bull, u said the fellow bringing the mob
bed end of his bludgeon within fearful prox-
unity to the officers caput.
You the editor? Impossible ~
"Do you mean to say l am telling a lie p
roared the rufian, as he again raised his
knotty argument.
Certainly not-by no means' said the
officer, rapidly cooling down, and dropping
the horse-whip and his wrath at the same
tme
"Werry well, then what are you wanting
wi me-"
A mistake, my dear sir; all mistake
expected to meet another person. I'll call
again; and the valiant complainant backed
toward the door, bowling politely to the
Drawn before the door.
And don't let me ketch you coming
again without knowing exactly what you
want. We're always ready here for all sorts
of customers; army or navy civil or mil
itary-horse, foot and dragons.
The officer retired, resolved to undergo
another goring by the Bull before he again
ventured to encounter the herculean pro-
portions of the fighting editor
When the clerk informed the occupants
of the editorial sanctum of the visit of the
irate Colonel, neither Hook nor his pub
Usher cared to face the horsewhip. A we'll
known pugilist, the landlord of tavern in
the vicinity was sent for; slight prepara-
ton fitted him for the part in which he ac-
quilted himself with perfect success The
story rapidly circulated and the reputation
ef the fighting editor of the Bull prevented
further remonstrances from persons who fan
cied themselves aggrieved by the liberty of
the press.

What Newspapers do for Moth
ing.

The following article should be read and
pondered well by every man who takes
county paper ,oittout paying for IT.
My observation enables me to state, as
fact, that publishers of newspapers are more
poorly rewarded than any other class of men
in the United States who invest an equal
amount of capital, labor and thought. They
are expected to do more service for less pay,
to stand more sponging and "dead-heading,
to puff and defend more people without fee
or hope of reward, than any other class.
They credit wider and longer, get oftner
cheated, suffer more pecuniary loss, are of
tener the victims of misplaced confidence
than any other calling in the community
People pay printer bills with more reluc-
tance than any other. 1t goes harder with
them to expend dollar on a valuable news
paper than ten on needless gewgaw yet
everybody avails himself of the Use of the
editors pen and the printer ink.
How many professional and political repu-
tations and fortunes have been made and sus-
tanned by the friendly and unrequited pen of
the editor? How many embryo towns and
cities have been brought into notice, and
pufed into prosperity by the press How
many railroads, now in successful operation,
would have foundered but for the lever
that moves the world ?'' In short, what
branch of industry and activity has not been
prompted, stimulated and defended by the
press
And who has rendered it more than mis-
cradle pittance for his service The bazaars
Of fashion, and the haunts of dissipation
and appetite are thronged with an eager
crowd, bearing gold in their palms, and the
commodities there vended are sold at enor-
nous profits, though intrinsicaly worthless,
and paid for with scrupulous punctuality !;
while the counting-room of the newspaper
is the seat of Jewing, cheapening trade, or
ders and pennies. 1t is made point ofhon-
or to liquidate grog bill, but not of dishon-
or to repudiate printer bill

HIDING THE DOLLAR WITH A DDfE---
Buckley, in one of his lectures, made use of
an illustration that viii bear repeating -
Holding dime close to his eyes with one
hand, and half dollar at some distance with
the other, said he ''Now, cannot see the
half dollar with this eye, for the dime is so
near it, it obscures my vision. So it is with
men of business in their eagerness to save
dollar, they often. lose sight of the fifty
within their reach" i"
