A Laughable Love Story.

A rich old gentleman had only one daughl
ter, possessed of high attractions, moral, per-
sonal and pecuniary. She was engaged and
devoutly attached to a young man in every
respect worthy of her choice. All the MIR
riage preliminaries were arranged, ard The
wedding was fixed to take place on u certain
Thursday On the Monday preceding the
wedding-day the bride and groom elect, who
was TO have received $50, 00C down on his
wedding-day, and further sum of $1,000 600
on his fnther-in-aw's death, Tan event which
would probably soon occur had u little jeal-
Gus squabble with his intended at an evening
party. The "tiF arose in consequence Of his
paying more attention to lady with spark
ling eyes and costly ringlets
The gentleman retorted, and spoke taunt
lngly OF certain cousin whose waiscoat was
the admiration OF the company, and limited
that it bad been embroidered by the fair heir
ess herself. He added that it would be soon
enough for him to be schooled after they were
married; and that she had adopted the 'hreech-
es' little too soon. After the supper they
became reconciled apparently, and the bride
groom elect, on taking leave, was kind and
ahectionate. On the next morning TIE swain
regretted the angry feeling he had exhibited,
and the cutting sarcasm with which he had
given il vent and rs part of the dmeade
honorable, packed up magnificent satin dress
MhicH ne hau previously bespoke Tor ms he
loved (Which had been sent home in the inter
val), and Gent to the lady with the following
note:
dearest Jnhe have been unable TO close
my eyes all night, in thinking Of our msun-
standing last evening, pray pardon me and,
IN token OF your forgiveness, degn to accept
the accompanying dress, and wear it for the
sake your most ailecionate Henry"
Having written the note, he gave II to a SER
want to deliver with the parcel But ms pair
of panlaloons happened to need repairing, he
availed himself Of the opportunity (thc servant
having to pass the taior's shop) TO send them
in another package TO the tailor. The man
made the fatal blundcr left tho satin dress
with Snip, aud took the note aud the damaged
trowsers to the lady. So exasperatcd was she
at what she considered determined and de-
liberate G6'rout, that when her adnrer called
she ordered the door TO be closed in his face,
refused TO listen to any explanation, and reso-
lutcly broke or the match.

What a Grant Delegate Said.

In the Philadelphia correspondence Of the
Tribune we find the following, which we do
not for a moment doubt expresses The honest
convictions, not only Of the delegate referred
TO, but Of many Others who recorded them
selves for The denomination of General Grant:
A Western delegate said That inquiry had
convinced him that u majority Of The Conycp-
ton was mt heart opposed 10 Grant, and
would rejoice Mt the nomination Of almost
any body in his place, but that not Il man
would dare to stat movement against him.
" 1t is the best put-up job ! ever saw" the
delegate continued. - came here hoping
TO be able TO organize II movement to lay
Grant aside, for 1t is AS certain as f.,ie that we
shall go 10 destruction under his lend find
plenty Of gympnthy aud dozens Of men who
agree with me MS to the wisdom Of finding an
other candidate, bat no one has the courage TO
act. All say that every ding is fixed by Grants
managers and that any man who should show
the least disposition TO oppose the cul-and-
dried programme would be clIoked of by the
chairman howlcd down by the meeting. /

Murder Will Out.

| On the night of tho oath of last November,
farmer named Dennison Miller waa killed by
an assassin. The deed was perpetrated in Mil
lers own house at place called Greenfield
not far from Detroit. BY the testimony of the
murdered mans wife the facts were as follows:
Mrs Miller heard Il cat bowling in the dining
room little after midnight she rose from her
husbands side and went to let the cat out OF
the front door When she opened the door
for that purpose man rushed past her with
out speaking and on into the chamber. She
heard quick scuillc, n cry and n heavy fall,
and then the intruder disappeared, she knew
not whittier Mrs. Miller found her husband
on the floor, wcltering in his blood. He was
stabbed through the heart and never spoke
afterwards. The alarm was given, and every
effort was subsequently made TO trace the
murderer. lie was not found however, des-
piie the most yigilant search and protracted
enquiry, and after time the case was SET
down as one Of those destined TO battle human
detection. The affair was nine days won
der, much talked OF by the press and in socie-
ty, but not the laintest clue vas ever hit upon,
and finally the subject appeared TO die out and
be forgotten.
Two or three weeks ago, however, events
fell out that excited The suspicion Of the sheriff
OF the county as to the Identity Of the muir
derer. Fresh study Of the case revealed cor
roborative evidence of the truth Of this suspi-
cion, and Mt last the sheriff has been able to
lay his hand on the shoulders of the secret
midnight homicide and to say fthou art the
| man" Tie case is one of the most singular
in the annals Of crime, and It's history power
fully exenpliGes the fact that the most ingen-
ious ard cold-blooded devices of which men
are capable do not always suffice to shield
them from the consequences Of wickedness.

but on the very same night evidently resolved
to console himself for this unreasonable inter-
! ruption Of his pleasures he went OIL TO II neigh
boring town called Ecorse, and pIayfuliy set n
barn on fire. He was again arrested, and this
time did not escape from custody until the
whole list Of his crimes had been brought home
to him. Tho evidence was purely prcsump-
tive, but still very strong, when the sheriff
felt warranted in suddenly charging the pr-
soner, point blank to his face, with Milcr's
murder.
The result was that Smith broke down
the excitement Of the two arrests on the same
day having apparently shaken his ncrye--ond
confessed all. The youthful murderer is suid
to be extremely handsome and is pronounced
by able medical men to be entirely sane His
incentive would appear to have been simply a
furious, overwhelming passion for crime; aud,
considering bis total unscrnpulousncss, his
audacily and his great cunning, it is n forth
nate thing that his career of guilt has been cut
MS short rs it has, and that only a single life,
so far as is known, has been sacrificed to his
lost for crime.

The Little Boy That Died.

I am alone in the chamber now,
And the midnight hour is near,
And the fagot's crack and the clock dull tick
Are the only sounds hear
And over my soul in its solitude,
Sweet feelings of sadness glide;
For my heart and my eyes are full when think
OF the little boy that died.

Went home to the dear ones all
And softly opened the garden gate,
And softly the door of the hall
Ny mother came out to meet her son,
She kissed me ana then she sighed,
And her head fell on my neck and she went
For the little boy that died.
shall miss him when the flowers come
In the garden where no played
shall miss him more by the freside,
When the flowers are all decayed
shall see his toys in his empty chair,
And the horse he used to ride
And they will speak with silent speech
OF the little boy that died.
We shall go home 10 our Fathers house
To our Fathers house in the skies
Where the hope of souls has no blight,
Nor love broken ties
We shall roam on the banks of the river of peace
And battle in its bsslul tide;
And one of the joys Of life shall be
The little boy that died.
