Her cabin is represented as having been
kept with utmost neatness She seems to
have liked her benefactor above all other
persons, and, before her death, willed him
all her property, with the exception of two
acres of land, which she gave to the truant
Eliza.
Notwithstanding, that she grew old and
decrepid, and emaciated and childish, she
never forgot her lover, whom she remem-
bered even in death. She now lies buried
amidst the scenes of her long life."

A COMPLIMENT TO AN ARCHITECT
Louis XIV, taking the air in the gardens
of Versailles, with his courtiers, saw Man
sard, the architect, walking through one Of
the alleys. He soon joined the old man,
and Mansard, taking off his hat, as was
strict etiquette in the presence of his sover-
eign, the Grand Monarque, lifting up his
hand in friendly apprehension, said, spray,
keep it on. The evening is damp, and you
may take cold p The courtiers, whowere
all standing headed around the king,
as was the custom, stared at each other at
this show of courtesy. But Louis XIV,
observing their surprise, said, Gentlemen,
you appear amazed; but learn this, I can
make duke or a marquis by my own
breath, but God only can make Mansard."

NOVEL WEDDING.-A young couple
were married lately in San Francisco on
the bay under rather trying circumstances.
The young man and woman loved each
other fondly, and determined to seal their
affections by the bonds of marriage. The
young girls father objected, but as she
was of legal age, which, recognizes her, in
this particular at least, as entitled to vote
her hand to whomever she pleases, his OBJ
jections were worth nothing. Dreading,
however, that an interruption would take
place if the ceremony were conducted in a
church, the happy couple hit on an idea
of hiring tug-boat, getting the minister
on board and putting out on the bay, and
there having the ceremony performed.
This was accomplished, and while secure
from the parents or the opportunities of
friends, the happy couple were being uni
ted, some portion of the tugboats machin-
cry gave way with terrific crash. AL
though the wedding party were startled,
and confusion prevailed for moment, a
look of satisfaction seemed to peryade the
appearance of the bride and bridegroom
on the reflection that twas not the annoy
ance of father. However, the tug~was so
injured that she could not move. A signal
of distress was hoisted OF the conclusion of
the ceremony, and the tug Lookout having
responded, the Water Witch and the we'd
ding party returned to the city.

The story Of John Box Brown

Deputy Marshal the slip, and wa

there was a man there who had

was rather slow in opening the

opened at last, and the MetropOli-

cyprian, but save the dishevelled
Belle, no one was visible. The Of.

turning over faded skirts, dilapi.

and wilted slippers, but nothing
masculine appeared In view. He
then performed the delicate duty Of
looking under the bed, when, 10

what he expected, but just what he
wanted-a mans coat and boots !
From these tell-tale evidences the
officer concluded that there must be
a masculine somewhere about, and
he concluded the fellow must be
ensconced IN the portly trunk at the
foot Of the bed. While the search
was being made, Belle slipped down
stairs, appearing perfectly uncon.
ccrned about the affair. The officer
took hold Of the handle of the
