TuE VAoARrEs OF LovE.-Day before

THE VAGAgIEs OF LovE.-Day before
yesterday, at about four o'clock buggy
was driven to the door of the Hamel
House, southwest corner of Ninth aud
Sycamore streets, and two persons alight-
ed, a woman and boy. The woman
was Lucy Thompson, the wife of Clayton
Thompson, who lives near Socialville,
Warren county, and the boy was James
Bates, aged sixteen years, who has for
some time been living on Thompson S
farm The proprietor of the Hamel
House, Mr.. Wycoff, formerly lived in
Socialville, and knew the Thompson fam
ily Him they told that they were on
the way to Fort Scott, Kansas, and in
quired the road they should take. Being
informed the Ohio & Mississippi, they
went to the depot. and bought tickets,
and returned for supper. Presently the
hostler of the hotel came in and told Mr..
Wycoff that a man was in the stable who
claimed the horse and buggy as stolen
property. On going to the stable Mr..
| Wycof found there Mr.. Clayton Thomp-
sou. He inquired for his wife, and after
promising that he would do no personal
violence to either her or the boy, he was
led to the parlor, and rushed without
warning, into the presence OF the guilty
pair. Upon seeing her he broke out
/ with the exclamation :-"My God, Lucy,
is this so?" She replied s.Ycs, it is SO

me to. 4 never loved you, and I like
James here, and | am never going t,

The three then sat down in the parlor
and a conversation ensued, which lasted
until midnight, in which, however, tf<

now and then, that "she did it ALL
Mrs. Thompson acknowledges that dur
ing their married life, of nine years, hel

and been u good husband to her. Sh,
persisted, however, that she did not low

and she clung to the lad with singular
tenacity. They finally separated for tht
night, going to separate rooms. In thu
morning the conversation was renewed
and Mrs. Thompson finally consented t.
return home with her husband, stipulat
ing, however, that the boy, Bates, shoul'
be allowed to return with them. Thomp

with great oath, that longer than Marcl
he should not stay.
And SO the two departed for thei

hlARvELS OF MEMoRY.-The follow
ing examples of the marvels of memory
would seem entirely Incredible, had they
not been given US upon the highest au-
thority: Cyrus knew the name of each
soldier in his army It is also related of
Themistocles that he could call by name
every citizen of Athens, although the
number amounted to 10000. Mithri-
dates, King of Pontus, knew all his
soldiers by their right names Scipio
knew all the inhabitants of Rome. Sene-
ca complained of old age because he
and names in tho order in which they
were read to him and he stated that on
one occasion, when at his studies, 200
unconnected verses having been recited
by the different pupils OF his preceptor,
he repeated them in a reversed order,
proceeding from the last to the first.
Lord Granville could repeat. from be-
ginning to end, the New Tes ament, in
the original Greek. Cooke, the TRACE
dian, is said to have committed to IN emo-
ry all the contents of a large daily news
paper. Racine could recite all the trag-
edies of Euripides. It is said George. III
never forgot face he had once seen, nor
a name that he had ever heard. Miriam
dola would commit to memory the con-
tents of book by reading it three times;
and could frequently repeat the words
back wards as well as forward. Thomas
Cranmer committed to memory in three
months an entire translation of the Bible.
Euler, the mathematician, could repeat
Euclid, and Leibmtz, when an old man
could recite the whole of Virgil, word
for word. It is said that Bossuet could
repeat not only the whole Bible, but all
of Homer, Virgil and Horace, besides
many other works.

a REFORMED DESPERATE. Our New
York exchanges mention the pardon by
the Court of Pardons of New Jersey, at
| the expiration of half the term of lmprls-
onment for which he was sentenced, OF
one Edward Norton, the most noted
criminal in the State of Jersey, whose
name was for years the terror OF Trenton
! and the surrounding country. They state
that Norton, at the age of "a years, was
found guilty by fourteen juries on as
many indictments, without single recon-
incubation of mercy, and the extent of
his sentence, had it been given, would
have been for l30 years and
the fines amounting to over Sl2, 900.
The Court, at the time of his last trial,
sentenced him to thirty years imprison-
ment. On hearing his sentence, he arose
aud called down such curses upon the
Judge as made every person in the
crowded Court room shudder. This was
in January, 1856 For FIVE years he was
the terror to his keepers, as he had been
of the citizens. Scarcely had he been
confined when he succeeded in escaping
from his cell, and, seizing large knife,
forced an entrance into the front corri.
dor, where he barricaded himself, and
proposed to fight his way out. So great
ly did the authorities fear him that, with-
out any attempt to recapture him he
was deliberately shot down by a deputy
keeper, who aimed a rifle through the
iron bars dividing the corridors He was
then placed in close confinement, ball
and chain were attached to his legs, and
he was closely guarded. Yet he twice
escaped, and, returning to his old haunts,
J spread fear through the city. For five
years he was chained down and guarded.
Ten years ago he professed to have ex-
perienced religion, aud from that day to
this his conduct has been unexception-
able. In 1868 a portion of the prison
was burned, and in the confusion the
doors were thrown open, and the prisons
ers thronged into the yards. An attack
, was organized, the prisoners agreeing to
; force an escape. At this juncture only
!, the presence and authority of Norton
prevented terrible massacre The pris-
, oners were armed with implements from
: the shops, and the $50 hundred despe-
rate men could easily have murdered the
