son and heir--he to whom title and estates
would soon fall must, in the father judg-,
ment, be left to decide whether he would
incur the hazard of restoring or attempt
ing to restore brother who had lost
caste. The negotiation therefore failed,
and the lawyer returned. But the yearn-
ings Of mothers love could not be SO
repressed. Her boy-whom she had
dandled, and fondled, and reared in lux
ury and refnement--was a daily laborer
for bread. Though husband and son both
refused to take any steps, even by remit
tances, to aid the prodigal, she, through
her own brother, the uncle of the wan
derer, undertook to make quarterly re-
mittances whereby her boy would be
relieved from rdrudgery and toll. The
failure of the negotiations to secure
his return to home and friends wrought
strongly on the sensitive heart OF
the misguided youth. His mothers
money saved him from toll, but at the
same time furnished him the means
wherewith to buy the supplying draught.
Relieved from the necessity OF labor,
idleness left his mind unoccupied except
by his own gloomy thoughts. By nature
OF frank, friendly, and sensitive dispo-
sition, he craved sympathy = human
sympathy. The Intoxicating cup had
not yet established entire mastery over
hins Hopeless now OF any restoration
to home and friends, be turned to seek
such companionship and sympathy as a
man in his circumstances could secure.
While employed as railroad hand he
became somewhat acquainted wlth tne
daughter of a worthy and respecta9ie
farmer near Simcoe, Upper canada
Her womanly sympathies Tor the - pn-
happy stranger soothed him; The upshot
was love, and in few months marriage;
This was in 1858. From TINS, time untli

Computing Interest.

Here is a new rule for computing in
terest. 1t is so simple and so true that
every banker, merchant or clerk should
post it for reference. BY no other arith-
metical process can the desired informa-
ton be obtained by so few figures:
Six per cent-Multiply any given
number Of dollars by the number OF
days of interest desired, separate the
right hand figure and divide by six; the
result on such number Of days is the in
isrest at six per cent.
Eight per oent-Multiply any given
amount By the npmber of days upon
which il is desired 10 ascertain the inter.
est, and divide by 45, and the result will
be the true interest forthe time required.
Ten per cent.-Multiply the same as
above, and divide by 36, and the result
will show the interest at ten per cent.

Evil customs OF the Period.

II is noticed that very few people, no
matter what their pecuniary position,
can get married in the United States at
the present period without first paying
iontand exhaustive visits to the shops of
jewellers. There is barbario idea prev
alent that wedlock aud bUOHieris are in
separable, and, therefore, the poorest
couple will expend what would be much
better devoted to housekeeping articles,
or deposited in the savings bank against
a very rainy day, for gems of doubtful
value and very little real use, in order to
make a fictitiously grand appearance on
lhe Wedding dsT. Weddings apf flnefa!s
have been hedged ~ lately by customs
which involve the most destructive and
reprehensible expenditures.

A sweeter grace adorns thy gentle brow.

On the white fountain love alone unseals.

A second radience on thy ripened hour; i

And in the bud beheld the perfect flower.

For thou art hallowed with love as fond
As Jewish Mary gave the child Divine.

Thine the first, holiest. right TO love shall be
Though in his heart our welded pulses beat
His sweetest life our darling draws from thee
The father in his child beholds this truth

Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1870-04-14

GENERAL FORREST has written TO
Col. Hunt that he will be able, through
influential parties, to negotiate the
first mortgage bonds of the Memphis
and Selma Railroad for Soc. on the
dollar, or hypothecate them for Soc,
A meeting Of the Directory of the
road is called to indorse his action in
this matter, when he will at once COM
mence working on the Memphis as
we'll as the Selma end of this impOr-
tant railroad. This is in the highest
degree creditable to General Forrest,
who never more cOnspicuously dis
played his characteristics of energy
and skill than since his entrance upon
the work of constructing the Memphis
and Selma Railroad. His every effort
has been crowned with success, and he
has worked with all the zeal of his ar
dent nature, and invincible will. When
he commenced this work he predicted
that he would have it finished before
the Little Rock Road was completed.
From present appearances he is more
than likely to do so.
Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1870-04-14


In the House of Representatives a
bill granting lands to the Kansas City
and Memphis Railroad Company. has
passed two readings. 1t grants to
Arkansas and also to Missouri for the
use and benefit of this road, the right
of way, ground for depots, and also
each alternate section of land for ten
sections in width on each side of the
road. In case of a sale or previous
grant by the United States, other lands
are to be selected and substituted.
The conditions are otherwise fair and
advantageous. Our thanks are due to
Hon. Logan H. Roots, its author, for
a copy of the bill.
