ROMANTIC MARRIAGE
Domestic I'm Luck.

From tn Alhany Knickerbocker Aug 2l.
We have lust heard of rather romantic
story which has transpired in this city, the
truth of which we can vouch for, notwith-
standing its sensational proclivities. A
few years since, girl living as aIdomestic
In an aristocratic and wealthy family of
Liverpool, England, won the affections of
the son of that family. The young man
became snlitten of his inamorata, and re-
solved upon marrying her. When he made
his intentions known to his parents, se-
rious opposition was manifested. The
girl, although a good one, virtuous and
honest, was not in Keeping with the FAM
ily standing in society. To marry such
a one was considered n disgrace in Eng
land, especially when the family of
the young man is of the highest
blood Notwithstanding all this, the young
man east aside all family ties, and married
the poor Girl of his affections who was
only a servant in his fathers house, The
result was, that the boy was driven from
the parental roof and took up his humble
abode with his wife. They lived together
in peace and happiness long while A
son was born out of this marriage. Final
", the husband of the girl was taken sick
with that terrible disease, consumption,
and died, leaving the girl widow, with
her child During the illness of her hus-
band. the latter received kind considera-
ton at the hands of his parents, although
they never N person, visited his bedside.
Soon after the death of her husband
the widow and child came to this country
with her father and mother. They set
tied in this city. The father and mother
took up home for themselves, while the
widow went out to service In n well-lsnOwn
family living on Washington avenue. She
had been there for n long time, and was
honord by her employers. Last week she
received q letter, announcing the fact that
the whole of the estate of her husbands
father, amounting TO e500,000, had been
bequeathed to her son. Arrangements were
at once perfected, and on Wednesday last,
the servant girl, accompanied by her father,
sailed from New York to Liverpool, TO look
after the fortune coming to them.

A Pickp6ekpt Dodge.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
few words In regard to n favorite method
adoptedby pickpockets, known as ''knucks"
TO successfully ply their vocation, may
serve TO place the public on their guard
against the encroachnents of these light
fingered gentry. Pickpockets as a general
thing are tolerably well dressed, and so far
rs outward appearances are concerned,
might readily pass for gentlemen. Those
of the fraternity who have made the pro-
fession a sort of science, dress with scrupu-
ious neatness, are at times exceedingly
polite, pleasant in speech, and affect such
unostentatiousnesst that they seldom fail to
make favorable impression upon society.
There are others who do not come mp to
this standard; they are simply confederates
or '.palls." their business being to hide the
plumber s.ftked" by their superiors. The
favJrite resort of the fraternity of pick
pockets for the palrose of pursuing their
profession was for several years the street
ears, generally those which started from
railroad depcts Immediately after the arri-
val of trains. or at the places of amusement
at the tims of closing. These thieves
would selecI crowded cars, and so well ar
ranged were their plans that they never
came in contact with each other. At the
present time they deviate little from the
OLD pTtctlce. rluty uU IOt Always Sc
lect crowded ears. They get on the
rear platforms of cars very full,
and insist upon standing there
always being ready with some plausible
excuse, such as '.going to get off directly, +"
"only going couple of squares" or ''its
too hot there" At such time their plan
of operation is as follows: The ear stops
for one or more passengers, who have some
difficulty in effeeting an entrance. The
crowd opens the way, and as the passenger
passes onward his hat IS pushed from be-
hind so as to nearly cover his forehead.
This is so adroitly accomplished by the
thief as to throw the passenger aforesaid
off his guard. He puts his hand up to re-
adjust his tile, and at the same instant the
scientific s'knuck" relieves hiGl of his
pocket-book or other yaluables, which he
hands to his pal" who gets off and disap-
pears
The hat-tipping business is quite n favor
lite practice, although it is not always at
tended with SUCCESS Persons who meet
with such event, either in getting on
railroad cars, or while waiting at ticket
Offices in depots or at places of amusement,
should remember these words of caution.
In case any one should feel his hat move
from behind, in the mGnnd above stated,
whether ON n crowded platform or any
other place, as already Indicated, let that
person Immediately turn around to the one
behind him and say, 'Tm on that myself
After that he may feel perfectly secure from
further annoyance ON that occasion.

A MAN WITHOUT A BREAsTBONE.
curious Experiments.

The following curious physical pheno-
mena were exhibited before the American
Science association in Boston last week.
DIR. Groux, native of Hamburg, and at
present praetieing physician in Brooklyn,
n. Y, was born without the sturnum or
breast bone. DIR. J. Baxter Upham, of
Boston having been iutf. eately acquainted
for many Years with Or. Groux, has devot-
ed number OF ingenious experiments by
which in his ease the action of the heart is
made To manifest itself both to the eyes and
ears of persons situated at considerable
distance X should be born in mind that
the action of the heart In DR.. Groux isper-
fectly nos11al and healthy, while
the absence of the sturnum renders
ii possible to make certain studies of
the utmost Importance, which are impossi-
BILE i'm the case of the human being as ordi-
narily constructed. DIR. Groux's case has
been treated of at length in various medical
journals in Europe, bat never has 1T been
brought in snch a striking manner before
80 large AN audience of scientific men,
The mechanism of the heart is somewhat
analogous to that of dOube-action pump.
In both cases the machinery, however per-
fectly IL nav work, makes some noise. DIR.
Groux was able to show three distinct mo-
lions and sounds occurring successively,
and with a eertain rhy Tim, in every beat of
the heart DIR. Groux also exercised
the power, rarely bestowed, and never
used without great danger, of stopping
at will, during short period, the ae-
tion of his heart. This was done
this evening to the satisfaction of several
mendicant men, one ofwhom was listening
with the stethoscope at the chest, the two
Others feeling at the wrist for the pulse.
For about 90 seconds the action OF the vital
organ in the frail chest of DR.. Groux COM
pletely ceased. Some years ago there ex-
isted an individual who was wont TO exper-
isnenting with himself IN this manner, and
who finally perished through being unable
to resume the ordinary conditions of human
existence. DIR. Upbam so far from encour-
aging his friend, DR.. Groux, in the repeti-
tiOn of this perilous experiment, has ear
nestly entreated him never 10 make the
venture again. Some years ago, DIR. Groux
having made up his mind to travel in
various cities of Europe and America,
caused Rufus Choate, the renowned lawyer,
To draw up will making over his body, in
the event of his death, to the surgeons for
dissection. Portions of this WILL which is
a long document composed in MIR. Choate's
happiest vein, were read to the great de-
light of the audience The original draft,
in the inimitable handwriting of Mr..
Choate himself, was also exhibited. The
experiments and explanations specially re-
lating to DIR. Groux were given with great
clearDess by that gentleman, who is regu-
larly graduated physician. 1t is clearly of
great advantage to science that this rare
malfornation occurs in one who is SO well
qualified 10 observe the obscure vital pro-
cesses which it affords an opportunity of
epio,inG.

Trials of n Country Clergyman.

A young parson thus feelingly describes
his bachelor experience In the first village
in which he settled after entering the min
istry: Old ladies gave me tracts and
tormented me in every possible way. One
gave me cough lozenges because fly got
down my throat in church; another sent
me her late husbands golosshoes to wear
when went oat on wet evenings (the late
husbands feet were about five inches
long). A third sent wonderful kind of
India rubber bag, which she said could be
pplied whenever n chill was felt. Not
till after my sister came to stay with me
did know that hot water ought to be put
into the creature before using; l had
thought it sort of mat to lay over my feet
and very useless of its kind. A Miss
Thompson was the most disagreeable of the
old mai is, She actually one day ran her
fingers underneath my collar to see if
wore flannel. During the year was at Lit
tleback, / had thirteen pairs of slippers,
twenty-five sermon cases and three smok-
g:caps worked for me. One Young lady
embroidered my initials ON handkerchief
in shiny-looking black thread. Ny sister
says it was done in hair; and perhaps that
accounts for Miss Rudge being so offended
when said thought Lester red markin
cotton as good as any other. Three young
ladies declared that had trifed with their
affections; two, ON the contrary, affirmed
that they had rejected me; while the village
school mistress assured the rector that had
tried TO press her hand. certainly never
had such hard work as while at Littleback.
/ played at least three hundred games OF
croquet, went 10 an archery meeting every
week. and at any spare moment i was liable
to be sent for by Miss Anna Phelps to
practice and Italian duet. i bore my trials
with Christian fortitude, till one morning
the rector sent for me and said that my con-
duct disgraced my profession. / took the
hint, and at the end of year and three
months my career at Littleback was over.
The young ladies cried when l went; they
said was "such a darling" Now, ask
my impartial reader whether it wanv not
hard that I should be blamedfor the indies
Of Littleback? My life is bhghted, and NIL
that is left to me is thirteen pairs of slip

Good Advice. this.

Nobody is more like an honest man than
n thorough rogue. When You see man
with a great deal of religion displayed In
his shop window, you may depend upon it
he keeps very small stock of it within.
Do not choose your friend by his looks;
handsome shoes often pinch the feet
Don't be fond of compliments; remember
Thank You, pussy, and thank you,
pussy" killed the cat Don't believe
in the man who talks most; for
mewing cats are very seldom good
mousers. BY no means put yourself in an
other persons power; ifyou put your thumb
between two grinders, they are very apt to
bite Ddnk nothing without seeing it, sign
nothing without reading it, and make sure
that it means no more than it says. Don't
go to law unless you have nothing TO lose;
lawyers houses are built ON fools heads. In
any business, never wade into water where
you cannot see the bottom. odepend-
ence upon the label of a bag; and count
money after your kin. See the sack open
before you buy what is in it; for he who
trades in the dark asks to be cheated. Keep
clear of the man who does not value his
own character. Beware of the man who
swears, he who would blaspheme the
Maker would make no bones of lying or
yourself; we carry our worst enemies with
MS. When q new opinion of doctrine
comes before you, do not bite till you know
whether it is bread or stone; and do not
be sure that the gingerbread is good be-
cause of the gilt on it. Never shout
halo till you are quite out OF the
wood; and never cry fried fish until they
are caught in the net There is always
time .epongh ID. boast a little longer
Don't throw away dirty water till you have
got clean; keep on scraping the roads till
you can get better work; for the poorest
pay is better than none; and the humblest
office is better than being ont of employ
ment. Always give mp the road to bulls
and madmen, and never fight with coal
HEAVIER, or contend with base character,
for they will be sure to blacken you.-Reu.
