AN anecdote of Victor Hugo and his
son appears in the continental journals.
The son, M. Charles Hugo, one day
heard Mile. LIE Hoene spoken of in the
most fattering manner, begged to be
introduced to her, and short time af-
terward asked her hand but her grand
mother (the young lady was an orphan)
refused, on account of her poverty. To
this the lover replied, "My father will
think that matter of no Importance
when he knows my wishes" /" He told
Hugo his desire to marry Mile. lie
Hoene. The father replied, every
well, but don't mention the subject to
me again until get my book out. p
The proof-sheets of his "Song of the
Streets and the Woods" were then en-
gaging his full attention, and when he
is preparing work for the press, or
seeing it through the printers hands,
he will hear of nothing else. After the
appearance of the volume, he arranged
the marriage, gave his son sum of
money equal to $25,OOO, married them,
and promised them that they should
live with him as soon as he had COM
pleted the mansion he is now building.

A Reluctant BRIDEGROOM.

The man who is wretched upon the
"happiest day of his life," must be un-
fortunately circumstanced. The man
who, Immediately after the ceremony
is performed which binds him to
beautiful woman, coclly takes his hat
and politely bids his bride permanent
"'good evening"" evidently does not ap-
preciate the bliss resulting from mar
riage ceremony. This riece of unap-
preciative coolness was transacted by
gentleman of o"r city on Wednesday
evening. On that evening wedding
transpired under circumstances that
caused considerable quiet commotion
among quite large circle of our citi-
zens. he bridegroom is a gentleman
quite extensively known in society,"
The acquaintance between the parties
commenced considerable time ago, and
ripened speedily into intimacy. The
intimacy grew to attachment and their
love was unfortunate. A considerable
period elapsed between the time when
the wedding should have taken place
and the time when it actually occurred.
The bridegroom was still strongly dis
posed to delay it still longer, but the
friends of the lady decided that the
ceremony must take place, and must
take place on Wednesday evening. The
gentleman in question had been for
some days out o. the city, and was ex-
pected back on Wednesday. During
the day several of the gentlemen friends
of the lady were present at the depot
waiting for the expected arrival. At
length the gentleman came but was un-
seen by the watchers, and proceeded
quietly to his boarding house, where he
sat down in peace to his supper. Be-
fore he had finished his meal be was
summoned to the door to meet a gen
tleman. The visitor proved to be the
brother of the lady in question. A con-
versat;on ensued, during which the
brother asked his acquaintance if he
were gentleman enough to marry the
lady, and if he would marry her on that
evening. After some consideration af-
Grmative answers were returned: and
the promised bridegroom departed to
find clergyman. The minister he
sought was conducting prayer meet
ing, but the groom passed through the
congregation and whispered his errand
in the clergyman's ear. A substitute
to eonduet the meeting was called by
the reverend gentleman, and he left for
the scene of the wedding. Meantime,
number of friends, male and female,
had assembled at the house of the brides
father, and when the clergyman and his
companion arrived, preparations were
made for the immediate performance of
the ceremony. Bride and groom,
bridesmaids and groomsmen, ranged
themselves in order, and the ceremony
that bound a man unwillingly to felicity
was briefly pronounced. Immediately
upon its conclusion the husband took
his hat, stated that he had an engage
ment elsewhere, babe the bride and the
company good evening, and has not
since returned.-P Pittsburg paper.

The MAIDEN's Vow.-The Nam
moth Cave of Kentucky is not without
its story of love and romance. Some
twenty years ago a dashing Tennessee
girl promised her mother that she would
never marry certain man ''on the face

ularly Objectionable to the old lady. So
there was quiet in the family for some
time. But one pleasant day the gay
girl and her lover ran away and went
into the Cave, to spot now called the
"Bridal Chamber" and in the presence
of few witnesses were there matri-
monially united, about 1926 feet below

A Western Politician.


The following capital anecdote of Ar
kansas political life is only an exaggera-
ton of what may be observed in other
Western States:
"About twenty years ago Governor
Y and Judge W were candi-
dates for Congress in this district
They were both far-sighted, shrewd
politicians-the Governor by far the
most winning in his manners, as the
sequel will establish. One hot day in
July, while they were travelling together
on the canvass, they came upon party
of twenty men or more assembled on
the roadside for the purpose of having
a shooting match. Thinking it good
time and place for presenting their re-
spective claims, the Governor proposed
stopping. They halted, aud the Gov
ernor soon made himself at home. He
bought number of chances in the
match, and being good marksman,
succeeded in winning quite a quantity
of beef, which constituted the prize.
"The judge had conscientious scru-
Piles as to shooting matches, and did
not participate, and stood by conversing
with the more sober of the crowd, while
the Governor was in high giee with his
companions over the beef. When it
was given out to the successful shooters
our Governor ordered his to be divided
among some widows, who he ascertained
lived in the vicinity, and then asked
the b'hoys-i if they were not dry +? Of
course they were, and Y ordered
plentiful supply of the 'Oh be joyful
Here the Judge had scruples, and did
not participate but had it been.other-
wise it would have availed nothing
The Governor was decidedly the man at
the shooting match, while the Judge
felt himself in the vocative. Leaving
their friends they proceeded on their
way some twelve or fifteen miles, and
halted alta camp ground, where the an
nual camp meeting was being held
They separated in the crowd, each cleo
tioneering with all his might, with old
and young, friends and strangers
king hay while the sun shines-for
there was fine opening.
"Towards night the Judge began to
look around for his distinguished oppo-
nent, but could not find him anywhere
He waited impatiently until evening SER
vices began, and concluded he would go
out to the large shed where the people
had assembled for meeting, thinking
perhaps he might meet his friend On
going out what was his astonishment to
find the gallant Governor, the hero of
the shooting match, in front of the al
tar, surrounded by ministers and class
leaders, with hymn book in his and,
head thrown back, singing as loud as
his lungs would permit
's How firm foundation, ye saints of the Lord"
"' From that moment said the Judge
Il gave up all hopes. l tell you-I tell
you, sir, man good for camp meeting
and shooting match, can't be beat for

SO it proved.

MY vIoLoN.
BY THOMAS IRWIN.

Within my lonely little room
Where many crimson evening shines,
cheer away the falling gloom
With songs beneath the easement vines:
Sweet memories haunt the lingering day
That hovers o'er each golden sun
Each tune play
Brings back ray
Sing to me. sing, old Violon.
Old friends. your homes in sunset shine,
The trees around them softly sigh,
While Ger the rolling distant brine
You sail from home and poverty;
I see your vessel far away,
I see your faces sad and wan
Turned where the day
Sets wild and gray
Sing to them, sing, Old Violon.
Old books-companions of my youth,
And friends of age still frightening earth
How oft we've unused above your truth,
How often smiled upon your mirth!
Your date recalls the happy years
And all who blessed them past and gone
Their smile appears
Mid falling tears
Sing to them, sing, old Violon!
Companionless amid the days
wander in the Autumn blast,
Through fields and trees, and well-knowr
ways,
The silent scenery of the past.
Like friends the distant mountains smile
O'erfowed by the departing sun
A little while
A little while,
Sing to them yet, old Violon.
Yon pale autumnal cloud of white
Stood in the cold east all day long,
And in the silent sky tonight
Under the full moon hears my song.
My fancy whispers mournfully-
'Tis some dear spirit beloved and gone
Come back to see
Old earth and me
Sing to her, sing, old Violon.
All soon, sweet friend, thy aged strings
To stranger.fngers shall resound;
But when to thy rich murmurings
The joyous dancers beat the ground,
Through the gay window with the moon
I'll look ere mirth and dance be done,
And list thy tune.
Though soon, too soon,
Death watts me from my Violon.

1t was soft summers afternoon in
September, 18-, beneath the skies of
Texas, in Austin's we'll known settle
ment of San Felipe, that family sat
gathered around the shaded doorway of
pretty cottage. The house and
grounds looked like picture rather
than a reality. The whole arrangement
of the grove-the small but picturesque
buildings, garden plot, orpamented
fences, and running vines over the
porch-altogether made up very beau
tiful and complete whole.
The group of individuals consisted of
four persons-a man in the prime of
life, dark complexioned, intelligent,
and with the air of one who knows the
world, and who had perhaps been So
bered in disposition by some of its stern
experiences. By his side, with bit of
sewing in her lap, sat his wife, woman
scarcely forty years of age, comely, and
evidently possessing the marks of great
personal beauty, now partially faded
Close by the wife and mother sat girl
certainly not more than seventeen years
of age, a beautiful creature, with light
auburn hair in wonderful profusion, "a
delicately rounded figure, and face
full of tenderness and intelligence. Be
hind the three stood careless, cheerful
looking, hardy negro lad, listening to
the words read by bis young mistress
from the book she had.
At this moment there was heard the
quick tramp of horses hoofs, and as
the family raised their eyes to the point
from whence the und' came, they dis
covered horse and rider coming di-
rectly toward the cottage. The we'll
mounted equestrian rode like an Arab,
and looked as though there was per-
feet understanding between him and
the noble animal he bestrode. Dashing
up to the group, he threw himself easily
from the saddle, and tossing the rein
over the crupper, left the well trained
animal to himself, and turned to address
them. .--l r.s-
ssIs this Mr.. Martin Brown ?" he
asked.
"That is my name," replied the man
to whom be spoke.

This was said hesitatingly, and with
glances at the mother and daughter.
"What is your will, sir?" said Mar
