DEFERRED ARTICLES.
True Economy.

The country is at present flooded with
cheap and inferior goods Of every description,
which are hcralded to the public in flaming
advertisements and which find market
among those who have yet to learn that true
economy" consists in buying first class
article from an established and first class
house. For example, pianos of various max
crs are offered at about one-half the price OF
those of really first class manufacture. A
mong the latter none are more deserving Of the
encomium really first class than those man
ufactured by Messrs. WIN. KNABE & Co., Of
Baltimore, firm which dates over third of a
century, and whose Pianos for excellency OF
workmanship durability and sweetness Of tone
stand absolutely unrivalled and containing
many valuable patented Improvements, to be
found in no other instrument, made by the
very best workmcn and Of strictly FIRST class
and seasoned material.
The so-called cheap piano may present a
fair external appearance, bat is made Of in
ferior and often entirely uuseasoned material,
and soon becomes wreck which defes the
art of the tuner. We make special mention
of the piano, as the most forcible illustrations
of our remarks, which can be applied to al
most every article we use in our families.

POETICAL.
THE LONG AGO.
BY CARRIE BELL sIscLAIR.

There's beautiful isle in the long ago,
all flooded with golden light,
And a river that flows by the margin green,
Whose waters are wondrous bright!
There's bark that glides with snowy sail,
And the music of silver oar,
That carries us back TO the shining gates
OF that beautiful past once more.
All every heart holds some sweet dream
Ola beautiful long ago!
There we're bTighthopes nursedin the long ago
Sweet flowers we gathered there,
And the walls of this beautiful past is hung
With many an image fair
And oh ! there is room for the feet to tread
This path of the by-gone years.
There are joys that bloom in Memory's fields
And fount for our bitter tears.
And that fount holds many hallowed tear
We've wept in the long agol
There are happy dreams the heart holds dear
Bright dreams of the long ago;
And sacred tears for perished hopes
That will return no more.
And thus in the tangled web oflife
We weave our smiles and tears.
Yet the soul has holy memories
That cling to departed years.
Ahi drop the silken curtain now
OF the beautiful long agol
Shut out the light of those perished years,
Close the door of the past again;
And bush the yearning thoughts that iill
Thy soul with so much pain;
Then roll the heavy stone against
That sepulohre-the heart
WHY should these buried forms again
To life and beauty start
The future may hold some dream as bright
As those Of long ago!

Suit for Breach of Promise Against
"Brick" Pomeroy.

The answer to the complaint of Sadie b.
Wilkinson, of New Haven, Conn.,, for breach OF
promise of marriage against Mark NJ. Pomeroy
was filed in the clerks Office Of the United
States District Court yesterday. The dcfen-
dant denies that he ever at any time or in any
manner solicited the plaintiff in marriage, and
that the plaintiff was unmarried at the time
when she AYERS he promises to marry her, The
defendant further alleges that at the times
aforesaid he was a married man, and incapable
of entering into marriage contract, and that
this the plaintiff well knew and he further
says, that at the aforesaid times, the plaintiff
was habitually intemperate, and of violent
disposition and temper, and generally represen-
ted among her neighbors so to be, Of which the
defendant was ignorant at that time. That
on divers occasions alterward the plaintiff
threatened personal violence to defendant, and
with pistol and other dangerous weapons
persued defendant from time to time and place
to place, SO that he greatly feared that his life
was in danger; and that the conduct, habits
and disposition and temper Of the plaintiff were
such, as he had learned since the times in said
complaint mentioned. that she was not fit per-
son to enter into the marriage contract with
any person." And, in answer to the allegation
of the plaintiff, that by reason of the alleged
promise of the defendant to marry her, she
was prevented from receiving the attentions OF
other persons with view TO marriage, the
defendant says that if said plaintiff has
not received such attentions it was in
consequence of her incorporate habits
and her ungovernable and violent temper and
disposition, which render her unfit to enter in-
to marriage contract with any person or per-
sons whatsoever BY the sworn statement of
Pomeroy's counsel it appears that he is now in
the West, and when last heard from was in
Kansas. .-NeU York Times, 29h uh.

EARN WHAT YOU SPESD.-Three fourths of
the difficulties and miseries Of meh come from
the fact that most want wealth without deser-
wing il, popularity without temperance, respect
without virtue and happiness without holiness
The man who wants thesbest thing and is will
ling to pay will have no. difficulty in getting
what he wants at last. 1t is the men who
wants goods on credit, that are disappointed,
snubbed, and overwhelmed in the end. Happi-
ness cannot be bought by the bottle, nor caught
by the excursion train, nor put on with any
robe or jewels, nor eaten at any feast. 1t does
not exist in exhileration, excitement or owner
ship but comes from.the use of the faculties..of
body and mind. To live truly is to have hap
piness wherever you are.

Singular Freak of a Sick Wife.

On Wednesday morning last Mr.. Frederick
Hast arose from his bed at an early hour and
leaving his wife and child in the chamber,
proceeded to another room to make a fire.
Hearing the cry Of the infant, which is but
two weeks old, he returned to the chamber to
ascertain the cause, when he perceived that
his wife was not in the room, which was very
strange, as she was sick, and had been for the
past few weeks confined to her bed He at
once made search for her; every nook and
corner about the house was looked into and
then the garden, out buildings, and adjacent
premises were searched, but no trace of her
could be found The husband was greatly
alarmed; and ran hither and thither in dis
tracted manner seeking the poor woman, who
bad evidently in an hour of temporary insani-
ty, produced by her recent illness, wandered
out Of the house and gone he knew not where
Just as Mr.. Hast was about to start to his
mother-in-law's residence, in the neighbor-
hood, thinking perhaps his wife was there, he
heard a faint call, and on Fastening TO the
well, few yards distant, discovered the head
of his wife above the water. Quickly descend
ing the well he reached the poor woman and
supported her in his arms, and then Justify
shouted for help. Fortunately bis cries were
heard, and the neighbors aroused from their
beds hastened to the spot and with some diff
Guilty both husband and wife were drawn up
from the well, the woman being almost lifeless.
She was at once taken to her bed and proper
ly cated for. She had been in the water up
to her neck for over a half hour, and II is
mystery that she did not drown, as the wa
ter in the well is about eight feet deep
Strange to relate it was yesterday said she is
none the worse for her long immersion in the
cold water-C Cumberland NeicS.
