He had Him There.

Some years ago in town not far from
the shores of Lake Erie, in the State of
Ohio, lived a shoemaker named A., and a
ship carpenter named B. The shoemaker
was a knowing man.. He knew so much
about eyerybody's business that he didn't
have time properly to attend to his own
and he was often witness at court. 1t
was his. custom to promise faithfully the
completion of work at stated times, only
to to1disappoipt his customers when the day
came around. The carpenter, B., ordered
a pair Iof boots, with the usual promise
from A. that they would be done on GER
tain day. The day came and with it came
b. He didn't get the boots, but received
another good promise. The next. and re-
peated visits brought repetition OF the
promise, but no boots. Finally, one day
the carpenter happened in at tie court
room Just "a the unreliable shoemaker was
rbeingSswern,as awitness in some case. The
magistrate had barely pronounced the
words, '.you solemnly swear that you will
tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing
hut the truth, so help you Coz" "when the
carpenter sang out at the top of his voice,
f.sN0w, old fellow, I've got you wherevI
want you Now, SIR, tell me tohee my boots
.sciH be dopen His boots were finished the
next time he called.

GeneraI Lee.

a correspondent of the Neu York Times
fMr. William Swinton) thus pictures Gen
eral7 Lee as he is;sslu ssq al- a1td
Although it was no later than nine in
the morning, General Lee had already gone
TO his Office in the college, which Is buta
stones throw removed. Here was a table
and textbooks; but no reminiScence OF wal
was visible, no sword, or spur or insignia.
Whatever met the eye was entirely aca-
demic,3not in 1.-The least military. And
seated at the table was handsome looking
gentleman, dressed in a uniform suit of
pepper-and-salt color-a very portly, we'll
preserved geutleman,s of some four and
fifty, with a fine bronzed complexion, a
nobly modelled nose. compact head, gray
hair and beard of the same color, close
" cropped-who rose to shake hands
was 81 the man 10 who. - welded the
thunders of Charlottesville and the Chick
ahominy--it was President Lee. With the
putting of the harness of war, Lee has laid
aside all concern with the war and its
thoughAs, reminiscenses and passions, and
is devoting himself exclusively to the in
terests of Washington College. To this
fact was due that, on the occasion of this,
my first interview, was only able to see
him for q few minutes; for he was on the
point of leaving to meet an appointment
body before which he had to lay a question
of great pith and moment, to wit: the
grading OF a new pathway to the College
building. It Is such abstruse and difficult
problems that now engage his attention;
and if learn Alright, he finds it harder to
hold his own in those controversies than he
did in the deadly imminent point of battle.

Marriage i'm old Times.

Col. E. Ball, of Canton, relates the follow
ing anecdote in an article published in the
Stark County Republican, in pioneer times in
that county: a-gc. t--s ~, Ike d.. .-...-
But in the days of which we are speak
ing, there were not only difficulties con-
nected with courtships, but there were diff
culties connected with marriage, as we'll
Without pursuing the history of the court
ship between the Captain and Betsey any
farther than to say that they had, no doubt,
the usual and common thiuderance to en-
counter, l wish to allude to one or two
things connected with their marriage. In
those days the visits of ministers were as
''angels' visits, few and far between" and
hence, marriage contracts could only
be solemnized by Justices of the Peace
and the material being scarce out of which
to manufacture these dignitaries of the law,
in Jackson township, North America, they
were compelled to elect to that Office, an
old Buffalo Valley Dutchman, who, it was
said, had attended but one wedding in his
life, and it so happened that the first Off
cial act that he was called upon to perform
was to solemniZe the marriage contract be-
tween Captain Jacob, the Well Digger, and
Betsey, the Spinning Girl. The difficulty
iD the case was, that this honest old farmer
had not had time since his election to IA
miliariZe himself with the ceremony, and
therefore was compelled to originate one as
best he could. AS was customary on all
such occasions, the bottle was kept swing
ing around the circle pretty constantly,
and the old Squire partook OF its contents
quite freely, to keep his courage up. Final
ly, after various pronptings, he concluded
to make the attempt, and the Captain was
called in from the yard, and Betsey was
coaxed out from behind the loom and
placed by the side of the Captain in the
middle of the room, and in front of the old
Squire, who, after taking another good pull
from the bottle, arose and pronounced the
following ceremony:
-A 'tVell, Shake, does you schware py Got
all-mightv dat you will have dis gal to be
your wife?" 80 L-''+
. "Yes."4 = t3.-.- 5.t t' .-
~ s-Vell, Betz, does you schware py G6t-all-
mighty dat you will have Shake to be your
man?''
hn Yes" iua a'i .a.HIGs51 '7faH -
"Den I schwares py Got-ali-mighty dat
you shall have one another-amen."
The Captain and his wife lived happily
together, and raised large family of chill
adren. Betsey, in after years, became very
devoted and jealous Christian. The poor
Captain became much addicted to the use
of strong drink, and finally lost his life by
the caving in of a well.
