A FIFTH avenue STORY.-A roman
tic instance of faithful love has occurred
in prominen. family residing on the fifth
avenue. Some years since the youthful
daughter only fourteen -courted in
childish fashion by gentleman Of seven
teen, went clandestinely with him to get
married. The parents learned what was
going on, arrived at the church just as
the ceremony was concluded, and carried
off severally, the bride and bridegroom.
The latter was marched to school: the
former locked up in her room, and soon
after taken to Paris. Here she remained
with her mother till she was eighteen,
when she was introduced into society.
Her beauty and fortune attracted many
visitors, but she repealed al their advanc-
es. She had. at long intervals, kept up a
correspondence with the youthful husband
from whom she had been separated; and
not long since when she landed in New
York, the first person on whom her eyes
| lighted was the Benedict aforesaid, grown
| more manly and handsome, and eager to
embrace his wife. The parents no longel
opposed their reunion.

How TO GER UP f EARLY.-Place

bed; when you frs: awake in the morn

and sleep will not again seal you in its
treacherous embrace. This is the advice
given by an aged man, who had been in
habit of rising early during a long life.
By attending to this advice, you may learn
to rise every morning at five o'clock. The
editor has found it better plan to 60 to
bed at one regular hour. Leave your bed

ABSTINENCE OF ROMAN WOMEN
The ancient Romans in some respects
we're in advance of the present age in
their practical physiological knowledge.
They seemed TO be fully aware OF the
fact that hardy race must be born Of
healihful mothers, ard consequently any
usage or practice likely to affect injurious
" the health Of woman was viewed BY
the state with suspicion. The muscles
were systematically educated. Frequent
bathing was required by law. Large
bath houses we're established, which were
places Of common resort. For several
centuries Of the best ages Of Rome It was
a criminal offense for Roman mother to
drink intoxicating liquors. At the time
of the labors of our Saviour on earth, and
! for long time after, it was considered infa-
nous for a Roman mother to taste Of
wine. For guest to offer glass OF
wine to one Of the women of the house,
hold was looked upon as deep insult, as
it implied want of chastity on her part.
History records several instances where
women were put 10 death by their hus-
bands because they smelt of temetum.' :
The consequence Of this physical training
and abstinence from all intoxicating liquor
was that the Romans we're noted for theiI
endurance and strength. Had we the
same habits, with our superior Christian
civilization, we should astonish the world
by our physical health and strength.

As he sounded the first chords. beau

the melody continued she remained speech

from the piano."
Expressed with grace and modesty. BY
young person of remarkable beauty, this
admiration could not fail TO be more than
f1attering to the artist. However, after
making his best Acknowledgements, Liszt
withdrew in order 10 deliver the prisoner,
and was accompanied by the jeweller.
Grieved at his m stake, the worthy
merchant sought to repair it, by inviting
The two musicians to supper. The honors
of the table were done by his amiahle
daughter, who appeared no less touched at
the generosity of List, than astonished at
his talent.
That night ihe musicians of the city
serenaded their ilustrous brother. The
next day the mobiles and most distinguished
inhabitants of Prague presented them
selves at his door. They entreated him to
give concerts leaving it to himself to fix
any sum he pleased as remuneration.
Then the jeweller perceived that talent,
even in pecuniary light, may be more
valuable tEan the most precious diamonds.
(, List continued TO 60 TO his house, and to
) the merchants great joy, he soon per.
i ceived that his daughter was the cause OF
I all these visits. He began TO love the

Boy Of ths Aappahannock
The fact ofthe strange elopement Of The
drummer boy Of the Rsppahannock from
Poughkeepsie, n. Y, with the daughter
Of wealthy merchant 10 that place has
already been announced. A Poughkeep-
sic letter Of the lst inst, gives the follow
ing interesting particulars Of the affair:
" The hero Of the affair 10 mo- less per-
sonage than Robert Henry Hendershost,
well known as the Drummer Boy Of the
Rappahannock.' His fair bride is the
daughter Of prominent merchant in
Poughkeepsie, a lady much esteemed by
those composing the circle in which she
moved. The attachment sprung up be-
tween the parties nearly two years ago,
and progressed in intensity until it culmi-
mated on Friday morning in an elopement,
the cause being the parents opposition to
young Hendershott's addresses to their
daughter. Young Hendershott up to
within month or two past, had resided
in Chicago. He returned to this city some
time since and commenced making arrange
ments for an excursion to the Holy Land.
and also secretly made preparations to
take his bride with him. A previous con
tract between him and the lady had been
drawn up on parchment, BY which they
we're TO be united in marriage after his
return from the Holy Land, or 1t any
time after the Lat OF December, 1867.
He repeatedly asserted to one or two Of
his intimate friends that the parents Of the
girl were opposed to him. At times dur
/ ing the last month they have met at diff
f.rent trys,ing spots BY mutual agree
ment, riding and walking about the city.

The Good Wife.

1t is just as you say, neigbbor Green,
A treasure indeed is my wife;
Such another for hustle and work
/ never have found in my life.
But then she keeps every one else
As busy as birds on the wing;
There's never moment for rest
She is such fidgety thing.
She makes the best bread in the town,
Her pies are perfect delight,
Her coffee rich golden brown,
Her crullers and pudd,ngs just ight
But then when eat them she tells
OF the care and worry they bring,
OF the martyr-like toll she endure-
0, she's such fdgety thing.
My house is as neat as a pin,
You should see how the door handles shine,
And all Of the soft-cushioned chairs
And nicely sweep carpets are mine.
But then she SO FIRE is at the dust,
At q fly. at straw, at string.
That stay out Of doors all can,
She is such fdgety thing
She doctors the neighbors-0 yes,
II child has the measles or Group,
She il there with her saffrors and squills,
Her dainty made gruels and soup.
But then she insists on her right
To physic my blood in the spring:
And she takes the whole charge Of my bile
0, she's such fidgety thing!
She knits all my stockings herself,
My shirts are bleached white as the snow;
My old clothes look better than new,
Yet daily more threadbare they grow.
But then If morsel Of lint
Or dust on my trowsers should cling,
I'm sure of one sermon at least,
She is such fdgsty thing.
You have heard of spirit SO meek,
So meek that 1t never opposes,
Its own it dares never to speak
Alas. am meeker than Moses.
But til. n am not reconciled
The subordinate always to sing;
submit to get rid of row,
She is such fdgety thing.
It's inst as you say. neighbor Green,
A treasure to me has been given
But sometimes fain would be glad
To lay up my treasure in heaven.
But then every life has its crose,
Most pleasures on earth have their sting;
She's a treasure, know, nsighbor Green,
But she's such a fdgety thing.
