A "S1rnnge story"

A young lawyer, who had chambers in
the Temple, had nOdding acquaintance
with an old gentleman living on the same
staircase. The old man was a wealthy old
bachelor, aud had place in the country,
to which he went for week every Easter.
His servants had charge of the place while
he was away-an old married couple who
had lived with him for twenty-seven
years. and were types of the fine old Eng.
lish domestic. One Easter Tuesday the
young lawyer was astonished to find the
old gentleman on his Temple staircase, and
made some remark about it. The old man
asked him into his room, and said he had
received fearful shock. He had gone
down as usual to his country-place, had
been received with intense cOrdiality, had
found his dinner cooked to perfection, and
everything as it had been from the begin
ming. When the cloth had been removed
his faithful butler put his bottle of port on
the table, aud made the customary inquiries
about masters health, hoped master was
not fatigued by the journey, had enjoyed
his outlet, and so on. The old gentleman
was left alone, his hand was, on the neck
of the bottle Of port, when it suddenly
flashed across his mind, "Here i am, a
lonely old man; no one cares for me there
is no one here to help me If anything
should happen to me. What If my old SER
want and his wife have been cheating and
robbing me all the time? What if they
want to get rid of me, and have poisoned
this bottle of wine?" The idea took hold
ofhim so strongly that he could not touch
his port. When Che man came Ia again he
said he did not feel well, would have cup
of tea +; no, he woud have a glass of water
and go to bed. In the morning he rang
his bell, and no one answered. He got up,
found his way down stairs; the house was
empty, his two faithful old servants had
vanished. And when he came, to look
further he found that his cellar, which
ought to have contained two or three
Thousand pounds worth of wine, was
empty, and the bottle they had brought
him last night aods poisoned.-COrnhiH Nag

Among the many beautiful and dtruthful
productions of B. f. Taylor the following
is not the least in point of merit: I s.i.-
"Hhat seat is occupied" said bright
eyed girl to a man who was about to take 1t.
"Occupied?" he growled; ''where is his
baggage?" With saucy upward look at
him, "I'm his baggage" she said. And
this brings me to say that if you are going
a long journey in regions where it is first
come, first served" the most desirable
piece of baggage you can take with you is
not hatb0x or a blanket, but toonldr. II
you have hone, then marry one, for you are
not thoroughly equipped for the road till
you do. When dinner is ready youfollow
in her blessed wake, and are snugly seated
beside her, and exactly opposite theplatter
of chickens, before the hirsuite crowd, wo-
manless as Adam was till he fell into q
deep sleep, are let in atall. There you are
and there they are. You twain-one, with
the two best chairs in the house, served
and smiled on. Look down the table at the
unhappy fellows, some OF them actually
bottoming the chairs they occupy, aud their
arms and hands reaching in every diree-
tion across the table like the tenaculae of a
gigantic polypus. When night comes, and
with it border tavern, it is not you that
shift from side to side on the bar-fOom
floor. If therei is any best bed she gets il
and you share it. You follow her into the
best car; she is first in the stage coach aud
you are too. More than that woman
keeps you "up0n your honor;" you are
pretty sure to behave yourself all the way
The conclusion is as strong as lariat,
that travelling bachelors have forgotten
some of their baggage, and that If d w6-
man hears man sneer about her trouble
some sex and their inevitable, inseparable
band-bok, and then in some weak moment
he says to her, "will you,n and If she be
wise, she will be cautious. Men are mol

A Singular AIEairLOSe GmIHbler
Forces Another 10 Marry tine
Formers Wife. ,r,.l ..r. ..r. Ia

A few days since singular marriage oc-
CURED in the house of Presbyterian cler-
gyman, in New York, the circumstances
Of which were as follows: The bridegroom
was what is styled sporting man, and was
on his way to Albany with a brother black
leg, who possessed handsome piece OF
property, in the shape of an extraordinarily
pretty wife, The married gambler had not
been long on the boat, before he observed
something in the conduct Ofhis spouse to in
dnce him to suspect that she was more fond
of his friend than was pleasant to cOntem-
plate and prudent to permit. He Kept his
own counsel, however, and made excuse for
leaving the pair alone. They prOfited by
his absence; and, just before the steamer
reached the capital, he went suddenly to
his state-room and forced open the door.
He found the twain within, and, at the point
of a revolver, but calmly, made the lover
swear that he would marry the false wife
Immediately on returning to New York.
You say you love her." he added. ''Proye
it in the way prescribe, and l shall never
trouble you or her. Fail to make her your
wife, and I'll pursue you to the end OF the
earth, and take your life so sure as there is
a God in heaven. Have no hesitation about
the legal difficulty. | shall never make
my appearance on your domestic scene,
and few will know, and no one will disturb
you in your connubial relation. | have
loved that woman better than my life-I
love her still. But, after what has occurred,
cannot take her to my armsagain. She has
transferred her affections to you, believe.
Do not abuse them. Cherish and protect
her; and ii you ever need friend, apply
TO me. You have sworn to marry her. If
you have any regard for your life, keep
your oath, for have sworn, as you have, to
kill you if you do not redeem your sacred
word" -t'.
At Albany the betrayed Benedict parted
with his wife and her lover. who came di-
rectly over to New York, and were straight
way Joined in wedlock. The first-men-
toned person is said to be man of educa-
tion, at one time merchant in Baltimore,
Md, and remarkable among his "proies-
sion" for the strictness with which he keeps
his word, and the perfect GOODNESS of his
play. 1t is said that he killed man in a
duel at Richmond, Va, before the war,
on account of the woman he has quit
ted, and that he is about to sail for CalifOr-
mia to pass the remainder of his days. He
is well known in New York and Chicago
among the larger and better class of faro
dealers and frequenters of the turf.
