The Story of Well Known Oil Man.

On Monday last Mr.. Henry Fisher
Of Tidioute, one of the wealthiest ana
most respectable citizens of this region.
visited the Milton Farm, on the Ale
gheny Valley Railroad. Mr.. Fisher
visited that locality on business, which
is a way Mr.. Fisher has, and after trans
acting his business Mr.. Fisher proceed
ed to return-that is he took passage
on the train bound for Oil City. As
is usual on passenger trains, q conduc-
tor was aboard, and on his interogat.
ing Mr.. Fisher for his ticket or equiv
alent, could obtain neither. Mr.. Fish
er was strapped" He had lost his
pocket-book and contents when or
where was a conundrum which re1nsiu-
ed unsolved. The loss of the pocket
book did not bother Mr.. Fisher in the
least, but the loss Of its contents was
rather embarrassing for the time being.
In fact, such loss would tickle the
ribs of an umbrella. The pocket.book
contained Sl75 in greenbacks; one
$50 500 bond with all the coupons
attached, which was preserved as q
curiosity, a solitaire diamond pin val
ued at $3.50; three railroad passes
several business cards, etc. Mr.. Fish
er quietly kept his own counsel as 10
his loss, and also kept one eye open for
developments" :"
Last evening, Mr.. Fisher took pas
sage at Oil City on the up train for
Titusville, and was a little surprised
at observing his diamond pin adorning
the shirt bosom of young man whose
visible means of support are limited,
and whose front name is L. G. CooS.
1t is unnecessary to say that young
Cook was captured" but such was
the case. Mr.. Fisher asked him if he
was not sporting property that belong
ed to other parties, when Cook replied
that "he'd give 'er up"-the property,
not the conundrum-and accordingly
handed Mr.. Fisher his pin, pocket
book, passes, and ten dollars in money.
Cook stotsd that he had found the
pocket book, but did not tell when or
where, and that he sold the bond in Ii
tusville, and had squandered the pro.
ceeds and the balance Of the money
that he had been offered 800 for the
pin, but thought it worth more and 60
held it for "rise." He also stated
that he did not know to whom tha
property belonged, which was undoubt-
edly true, as Mr.. Fishers name deco
rated the different passes, cards, etc.
Not wishing to create disturbance.
Mr.. Fisher allowed the young man to
depart in peace, though, had justice
been done, he would undoubtedly have
departed in pieces.

Why Women Wed.

Some clever observer Of social rela-
tions, having looked about among his
married acquaintance, ventures to
give the following list, with an attempt
10 indicate the real reasons which in
huence too many to marry:
Number one has married for home.
She got tired working in factory or
teaching school-she thought married
life on earth was but moonlight walks.
buggy rides, new bonnets, and nothing
to do. Well, she has got her home |;
whether or not she is tired of the in
cumbrancCs this deponent does not
positively know.
Number two married becouse she
had seven young sisters and a papa
with narrow income. She consulted
the interests Of her family. Perhaps
she would letter have consulted her
interests by taking in light washing or
going out by the day to work.
Number three married because Mrs.
sounded so much better than Miss. She
was twenty-nine years and eleven
months old, and another month would
have transformed her into q regular
old maid. Think how awful that would
have been.
Number four married because she
wanted somebody to pay her bills.
Her husband married her for precisely
the same reason; so they are both la
menting at leisure.
Number five married because Fanny
White had a nice new husband, and
she wasn't going to be left behind.
Pity if she couldn't get married as
well as other folks.
Number six married because she
was poor and wanted riches. She new
er counted on all other things that
were inseparable from those coveted
riches.
Number seven married because she
thought she would like to travel. But
Mr.. number seven changed his mind
afterward, and all the travelling she
hes done has been between the well
and the back kitchen door.
Number eight had married out of
Spibc, ucCuuSS lOI HlSb llNt Dhu tdkcu
to himself q second Lowell This piece
of retaliation might have done her
good at the time, but in the run num-
ber eight found that it did not pay.
| Number nine married because she
: had read novels and wanted sympathy
/ Sympathy is fine thing. but it cools
down at rapid rate if the domestic
kettle is not kept boiling, and the do
mestic turkey is undone. Novels ano
housekeeping don't run very well to.
gether in harness, to use a sporting
phrase, and number mines supply o
sympathy don't hold out very long.
Number ten married because she
loved her husband with all her hear
and all her soul. And she loves hin
still, and will probably continue t.
love him, and is the happiest wife il
the world-so she says.
We have all the right motive a
last-one which, when sanctified by 1
desire and resolution to prove and ele
vate each other, and to live true anC
holy lives before God, cannot fail t.
call down the blessings of heaven
But sad is the fate of those who marry
from wrong motives to escape theil
share of life's work or to get some
thing for which they have nothing tt
give In return.

Aneodote Of Webster.

A correspondent of Harper's Month
ly says;
In looking over an old note bosk Of
my fathers, written many years ago, I
came across an anecdote which, il it
has never appeared in print before, is
too good to be lost. While John
Branch, of North Carolina, was Gen.
eral Jackson's Secretary of the Navy,
he, Tazewell, and Daniel Webster were
walking on the north side of the Poto-
mac, at Washington, Tazewell, willing
TO amuse himself with Braneh's sim
plicity, said Branch, III bet you 9
teu-dollar hat that you are on the other
side of the river"
"Done," said Branch.
"Well," said Tazewell, pointing TO
the opposite shore, "isn't that one side
of the river5'
"Yes."
"Then, as you are here, are you not
on the other side"
"Why, l declare" said poor Branch,
$50 it is! But here comes Webster,
I'll win back the hat from him"
Webster had Jagged behind but now
came up, and Branch accosted him;
"Webster, I'll bet you q ten.dollSr
hat that can prove that you are on
the other side Of the river"
"DoneT
"Well, isn't this one side"
eyes"
"Well, isn't that the other side p
eyes, but l am not on that side :"
Branch hung his head and submit
ted to the loss of the two hats as quiet
ly as he could.

Don't BE TOO SENsITIvE.-There
are some people, yes, many people, al
ways looking out for sights. They
cannot carry on the daily intercourse
of the family without some ohense is
designed. They are as touchy as hair
triggers. If they meet an acquaintance
in the street who happens to be pre-
occupied with business, they attribute
his abstraction in some mode personal
to themselves. and take umbrage ac-
cordingly. They lay, on Others the
fault of their irritability. A fit of in
digestion makes them see impertinence
in everybody they come in contact
with. Innocent persons, who never
dreamed of giving otiense, are astonish-
ed to find some unfortunate word, or
some monetary taciturnity, mistaken
for an insult. To say the least, the
habit is unfortunate. 1t is fars wiser
to take the more charitable view of
our fellow beings, and, not suppose a
slight is intended unless the neglect is
open and direct. After all, too, life
takes its use in a great degree from
the color OF our own mind. If we are
frank and generous the world treats
us kindly. If, on the eontary, we are
suspicious, men learn to be cold and
cautious to us. Let person get the
reputation of being touchy, and every
body is under more or lest restraint
and in this way the chances Of an inn
sginsfy ofense are vastly increased.

The "Fat Contributor" Girls, of the
Cincinnati Times, has the following in
regard to an old conductor promoted
to train. dispatcher: "Habit was very
strong with the ex-conductor. AS he
sat in the office he would start every
time he heard bell ring, and yell
'All aboard Then he would go
about the office at intervals and try TO
collect fare of the assistants. We
dropped in causually one afternoon,
and Billy wanted to know if we had
pass. He couldn't get accustomed to
his new position at all. He pined to
be again on the road. One day he
begged the boys to put him through
collision, which they did to his entire
qualification. They tore his clothes
nearly of, blackened his eyes, broke
kerosene lamp over his head, and piled
q red-hot stove on top Of him. Billy
was in an ecstacy of delight, and de-
clared he hadn't enjoyed himself SO
much since he had bile"
Beecher says: 1 believe in novels.
l think that if they are good they are
useful. i believe that they are no
more to be disallowed than any other
part of literature They can be made
to serve the very best ends of economy
of virtue and morality, to say nothing
of religion; but a man who feeds on
nothing else but these, how miserable
and how wretched he is! These are
the whips and syllabus of life. They
are not the bread nor the meat. They
are the confections of life. But ought
a man to sit down and eat sugar-plums
for his dinner, and nothing but sugar
plumsl
The Detroit Free Press says: "Yes-
terday, on one OF the ferry boats, a pas
senger saw man bring aboard a
bushel basket, and while looking
around, seeking to see under the cover
roll of the boat sent him head first
into the basket with a loud crash.
Drawing his head out, the fellow ex-
claimed: "Why, hang it, them's aigs,
them isl" And so they were, and he
paid two cents apiece for the thirteen
which we're crushed under his head.

When they petition in England.
they do it in earnest. At a late meet
of Parliament, two distinguished mem-
bers we're to be seen hauling into the
House and up to the table in front Of
the speaker what appeared to be a bale
of merchandise. 1t was q petition
against the Contagious Diseases Act,
signed by two hundred and fifty thou
sand two hundred and eighty-thres
women residing in one hundred and
thirty-four boroughs, villages, and
other places in the United Kingdom.
The petition prays for the unoonditiOn-
al repeal of the act as immoral and
subversive of the personal security
hitherto enjoyed by women equally
with men. 1t is needless to say that
petition of this magnitude cannot slip
into the waste paper basket unobserysd.
A young man says that there may
have been such thing as real true
love in old times, but that now the no.
ton obsolete, and if you ask a lady
nowadays to share your lot, she i'm
mediately wants to know how large
that "lol" is.
