How They Do ON the Border.

Not long since, say two weeks--a
brace at loving couples went before
worthy divine In county not far
from Jackson-it was not Jackson,
but nearer hop1e--and the four were
made two flesh, and went to their
homes happy as the hot day was
long. But the course of welded bliss
does not always run smooth, and In
this instance the victims soon, but
not soon enough. discovered that their
bonds were insecurely tied, as they
thought. for they had been married
without license. Straightway they
went for the valuable documents and
then repaired again TO the minister
who quickly made IL right by re.
tying the one couple and more secure.
ly than vt first, as he thought.
Now came the interesting part of
the performance. The female pert of
the other couple declared that If she
was not then married she would not
be married at all, and that was the
end OF 1t. Despite the protestations
of her so lately happy lord, she de-
manded that the littIe marrying that
had been done for her undone, and
that Immediately. Her half-husband
plead eIoquently, and referred I'm sup
plicating terms 10 their short week of
married" life. but 10 no purpose.
She would not yield; the short"
week had been long enough for her,
and she set her foot do VII that though
she was not married, it was too much
for her. The worthy minister grave
ly scratched his head and came to the
conclusion that he would ''do all in
his power to relieve the restless bird,
and went through ceremony of "un-
marrying" them. When il was &C.
compiished, the little one, freed from
the shackles that had bound her, be-
took herself To her parents.

How Men Get Rich.

The richest member of the Govern.
ment, whether of the Executive. Judi
cial or Legislature branch, Is O .kes
Ames, (of shovel and Pacific Rail-
road fame, of Massachusetts. do
not know that any limit is stated to
his enormous wealth. and yet it Is
rapidly and constantly increasing
As sagacions, cool, keen business
man he has no superior. He h ,s no
fear Of taking risks. aud this element
OF his character has probably had
more TO do with his wonderful sue.
cess than any other. And vet, with
all bis wealth he is plain TO a fault.
aud penurious to meanness. He keeps
no carriage. He and his wife board.
She gave no entertainments, In fact.
IL would seem almost as il she did moi
believe In her husbands vast means,
tor she said to Mrs. Secretary Pome.

were paid and he had $5O,OOO left, |
should be satisfied"
Nhat?" she asked, the other day

ries? Ii IL absolutely sin to waste
money sol"
Last Sunday morning, Mr.. Ames
arrived at the depot here, I'm company
with several members. There were
no street cars waiting. and all enter.
ed an omnibus except Mr.. Ames.
"Comc, Ames.n said Pomeroy
heres room for you.n
mo, l thank you.' replied the
richest man in Congress, II won't
pay fifty cents for ride, when by
waiting half an hour 1 can get 1t for
five.u
And yet Mr.. Ames Is not niggard-
ly when large enterprises, CONNER
ciai or philan.hropic, are on foot. He
gives Sl0O q year in support of the
Unitarian church he sutscribes lib.
orally towards taking care Of the poor
of the district and in the epd0w-
ment of western college he estab.
lished professorship at q cost OF

than n love of money, is often al the
bottom of the apparent penurious-
ness Of very rich men.

Greeley's Penmanship.

Mr.. M. Il. Castle, as most lecturers
know, Is the thrifty president OF
bank at Sandwich, ILL.,, and the ac-
tive manager Of the lyceum in that
town. He lately wrote letter To
Mr.. Greeley inviting him to lecture
there In the next sessions course
Mr.. Greeley's reply was i'm "a hand.
writing which, the editor of the
Sandwich Gazette says II would Le
no sin to worship, as there 10 moth
ing on earth, or sea, or heaven, like
unto 1t. Several experts tried TO read
IL, with varying results. One
thought IL was AN editorial on
the tariff, and figure go I'm 1t re-
ferreI 10 the duty on pig iron. An
other thought IL had reference to Me-
Farlnnd. Finally Mr.. Castle trans.
lated IL as follows:
DEAR SIR:--I am available and
will come. Ii will he $60-next
February Sd. As TO other lectures,
Ii seems that must decline, except
in your immediate vicinity--if do
not come In February
The rest of the letter looked as IL
somebody had smashed bottle OF
ink on ID and tried TO wipe 10 otf
with curry. comb. But VI. g., hav-
ing 80 large latitude to guess in,
read Ii as an acceptance, and an
swered:
SAspwITcH, ILL. May IL, 10.
Hon. Horace Greciey ~. Y. Tribune:
DEAR SIR-Your acceptance OF
our invitation to lecture before our
association next winter came to hand
| this morning. Your penmanship
not being the plainest, H. took some
| time to translate 1t, but we succeed
ed, aud would say your time (3d of
February and terms tS6O) are entire
| ly satisfactory. As you suggest, we
may be able TO get you other engage
ments I'm the immediate vicinity, II
so we will advise you.
Very respectfully,
NJ. B. CASTLE.
to Sandwich the following Indignant
response, very legibIy written:
NEW York TRIBUNE, May l6.
DEAR SfR-I have yours of the 18th
inst. did not write you that could
lecture for you the 3d of February or
any other day.
Yours, HORACE GREELEY.
N. B. CASTLE. Sandwich, Ill.
1t thus turned out that Mr.. Gree
ley's original letter, which MIR. Cas-
tie blundered in deciphering, was as
follows:
New YORK tribune May 0, 10.
DEAR SIR-I am overworked and
growing old. | shall be sixty next
February, 81. On the whole, it
seems that / must decline to lecture
hencefortb, except in this immediate
vicinity, III i do at all. l can not
promise to visit Illinois on that err
rand-certainly not now.
Yours, HORACE GREELEY.

poor deceived" advocates OF woman
suffrage, as well MS the utter nonsense
Of your denunclations, becomes re-
diculous, when we remember that
the leaders and believers In this
movement In America are such men
as Henry Ward Beecher, Geo. VIM.
Curtis, Vice. Pres. Colfax, Rev. DIR.
Eddy, Rev. Robt. Colyer. VIM.
Lloyd Garrison, Wendle Phillips.
aud hundreds of other prominent
men, and such noble and beloved
women as Lucretia Mott. Iarriett
Beecher Stowe, Mrs. Lippincott
(Grace Greenwoodl, Mrs. Horace
Greeley, Mrs. Mary A. Livermore.
Alice and Phoebe Carey, Mrs. Bur-
leigh. and nearly every other promi-
nent literary woman in our midst, to
say nothing of Mrs. Stanton, Miss
Anthony, Anna Dickinson, Julia
Ward Howe, &c, whom the coarse
and vulgar delight to satire and Sian
der, but whose names will be honored
to the last days OF the republic.
You or l would be proud to possess
the brains of any one of them. The
extreme modesty of your assumption
that these people have been "de.
ceived" and betrayed" into a sup
port Of woman suffrage and that
they fail to comprehend its true
bearings, while you alone have pen
etrated into the inner depths Of the
subject and discovered foulness and
corruption imperceptible to them,
must be apparent at a glance.
With reference to the idea of indi-
viduality I'm government, you entirely
misrepresent me, and having ascribed
sentiments to me which I have never
expressed nor entertained, you pro.
ceed to beat the air with a wildness
and looseness perfectly astonishing.
That was to have been the subject OF
this letter, but of course your space is
too limited for me to refer to IL now,
as well as to your answer to what you
call my temperance argument, but
the real point In which you artfully
dodge" as You have most of the
points have presented. regret to
have been drawn so far from the dis
cussion Of the main question. and
will talk direct to the point In my
next.
Very cordially yours,

Our Reply.

The above communication Is so
lengthy that we abbreviate our reply
for want Of space nor, do we regret
this as we otherwise would, since 1t is
but an attempt to escape the charge
of Freelovism made against It's funda>
mental postulate. The effort To es.
care the legitimate consequences of
your starting point and TO reconcile
1t with the great popular christian
Idea Of marriages is so absurd that
you contradict yourself In consecutive
sentanences. For example, you say
No. 2, abovel, THAT IL (marriage) q
ordained Of God" Your very next
sentence, (No. 8, says, "That 1t Is
naturally end properly result of the
association of men and women in
society,"" Why do you make two
statements that necessarily destroy
each other? Marriage cannot be Or
dained of God, thereby receiving its
existence with all the morality of its
relations from Him, and al the same
time be sequence of society. This
is absurd, and your own sentences
ought to have shown you the absul
dity.
You are not a Free.lover. We
never charged you with that loose.
ness. but we do say and have said
that Woman Suffrage and Free~lov.
ism hold the same licentious and in
fidel view OF the married relation,
I. C. the individuality of the married
pair. This Is all. AS you expect to
devote your next to individualism
we will wait to see If you escape the
above facts.
What IL Henry Ward Beecher and
twenty Others favor it, that is no evil
dence of Its correctness or its purity.
We have some recollection that this
same Henry Ward Beecher come
Grated Bigamy by prayers at Rich
ardsons death-bei, and so Indignant
was the christian community that he
felt called upon to apologize for his
participation in this outrage upon
christian marriage. Henry Ward Is
wont to 'slop over occasionally
Then, you must see that there is no
argument to support reform
against nature" and the attempt to
demoralize the family in the fact that
Abolitionists were once opposed.
