A Wife or a Life.

Scott, of Harden, one of the ancestors
of Walter Scott, was famous border thief,
and at ono time when he had either spoiled
the neighboring English of all their cattle
or frightened them all away, he began to
fear that from disuse he might become less
eA pert at the honorable trade he pursued;
and to keep his hand in, amused hmsel f
with driving the cattle GER one of his own
countrylnen and neighbers, hurry of Eli
bank. Ml'rry soon found means of reveng-
ing himself, and brought Scott, his follow
ers, his cattle &C., all prisoners to Elibank
Castle. On tho walls was sitting his wife,
who, perceiving the train that followed
him. asked what he meant to do with
Scott.
"Why, hang him, to be sure was the
answer.
The more prudent wife exclaimed:
"What! hang such winsome mamie
as Harden, when we have three such sorry
damsels at h0me?''
hurry was pursuaaed by his wife, and
sending for one of his daughters, whose
ugly face and immense mouth had acquir-
ed for her the name of Mag O. mouth, Muir
ray proposed to Scott to marry her, leaving
no other alternative but the halter. The
unfortunate prisoner most unsallantly re-
fused the lady; and the tradition says that
it was not till the rope was tied to the tree,
and he degan to feel it tighten, that he re-
pented. He was married, and sorrowfully
bent his steps homemard, taking with him
his ugly wife.

In spite of the Counts professed desire

under such circumstances, entering upon
mutual explanations for the satifaction Of

Counts surprising Felicia by bending over

spoke" that is the Great Emeral of Kan

CHAPTER NIL.

OUT OF BOW sTREET-OR ANYWHERE.
How, indeed, should he have been any
thing else but dumb? Men cry out with
pain, but are for the most part silent when
they have received mortal blow.
And what blow can be more mortal than
this, that a man should in one moment of
time discover that he has, to the utmost of
his power, sacrificed himself, body and life
and soul, to what he considered absolutely
beautiful and absolutely true, and that the
object of his sacrifice was all the while
gross and obvious lie, that he might him
self have laid bare at any moment had he
not been self-deceived. The case is all the
stronger when the man is of coarse and
narrow nature which has hitherto caused
him to live emily for selfish and sordid ends,
and when the idol for which he has given
up his natural life is the first and only idea
of infinite truth and infinite beauty that
has ever been borne in upon his SOUL
Still harder and more terrible still is the
blow, when not only is the idol some tang
IDLE and visible thing, appealing to the eye
and to the touch as we'll as to the spirit,
but is of such nature as to harmonic the
old and the sordid life with the life that is
new and sublime.
The hosts of glorious spirits, the divine
visions, the universal songs that he had
supposed to be the work of the .iewel-fair-
les of the Great Emerald of Kandahar, had
thus proved to be hooking dreams of his
own miserable soul over piece of paste
worth eighteen pence. Yes, that eighteen
pence was not the most painless part of
the sting, and made his souls tragedy still
more terrible by m0cking it with farce,
covering despair itself with contempt, and
shame with ridicule.
What to lover is his mistress, what to
a patriot is his country, what to martyr
is his God-sueh had this thing been to
Nathan Levi. For its sake he had deliver
ed himself up, rejoicing il the sacrifice to
the giants of Poverty and Scorn, and to
the commission of that nameless and un-
natural sin that consists in a mans deny
ing and casting off that common human
nature which gives him the name and
duties of man. By the possession of
what he deemed to be the very incarnation
of wealth, he had been king, high-priest-
nay, the universe itself had beeh his tenn
pie and his throne; by the sudden discovery
of its worthlessness, he had found himself
in the grasp of Mephistopheles, the mock
ing fiend. The mistress had proved false,
the country fiction, and the God fetish.
From the transport of possession he had
passed into the iutoxication of worship, and
from the intoxication of worship into the
very height and depth of love-he had
come to hold by the sublime Emerald for
its own sublime sake, not for the sake of
the wealth that its possession might bring.
He would not have parted with it for six
million times six million guineas - he
would have carried it with him to the stake
rather than let it 60 into other hands
And yet, fool that he had been, he had
parted with it for the sake of a word and
smile, only, to learn that he had already
thrown away all his worship and all his
! love, and even his whole self, upon what

admit the fact--it is out of my province to
speculate whether or no tho one piece of

sacrificed all that was true and real to
what was inherently and essentially false,
he had, at length, sacrificed the false in it's

81 Can't Afford It."

How often do we hear this plea from
young men when the Importance of an ed
ucation is urged upon them. Many of them
can afford to poison themselves with liquor,
paying fifty or hundred dollars for the
privilege; they can afford to educate the
feet in the gayeties of the ball room on
like terms; to attend sensational places of
to stake this same money they
could not Oxford for an education in game
of chance; to expend money for novels,
which would pay for library of education
al works, and in variety of other ways
useless to snumerate here.
This is looking at it from moral stand
point. But let us suppose the existence of
a moral young man who makes this obiec-
ton, and yet wastes no money in the ways
indicated. He "cannot afford it, But
he can afford to remain in ignorence, for
the remainder of his life, of the most essen
tial elements and principles of the business

THE EFFECT OF PUBLIC OPINION.

A copy Of the Washington EceHiHy Star
Of May Sth, has been sent to US with the
following article marked with pencil
W0N'T TAKE THE BACK PAY.-Both General
Hawley, Of Connecticut and John b. Hawley of
lnois. have refused toaccept the increased compen
saion voted by Congress al the last session. Hon.
j. NJ Rnsk, Of Wisconsin has also refused to accept
The paper in which the above announce
ment is made being published at the seat
Of government, there may possibly be some
truth in it. Our Mr. Hawley, on his return
here from Washington, when asked if he
took the back pay, said mol declined -
And yet on the sth Of May, more than a
month afterwards, he finds it necessary to
have it telegraphed from Washington, and
also announced in the Star of the same
date, that he has declined. We still
doubt if he had, on his return home, turn
ed the money over to Treasurer Spinner.
but we reckon that little intercourse with
the people convinced him that he had best
do so without unnecessary delay.
Does Mr. Hawley propose to take $1,000
year for the next two years? He was
elected on an implied agreement to serve
for $1,000 year ,and we think it would be
as dishonest in his case to take 81, 500 a
year for the coming two years as it would
to have taken the, $4,000 back pay. The
contract was made between him and the
people when he was elected.

On Sunday, at O'Clock, there occurred
in this city a very pleasant wedding at the
house of Mr.. Joseph Miller near the cor

daughter Kate, a most excellent girl, was
married to Henry Fisher, nephew Of Mr..
Charles Fisher The ceremony was per
formed by Judge Guyer, whose wife was
also present, as also Mr.. James NJ Buford
and wife, and many other friends. The
attendants were Mr.. Frank Beerkle and
Miss Eliza Koch. OF relatives present
were Jacob Miller and wife, Philip Miller
and wife, brothers of the bride also three
sisters of the bride, with their husbands,
Peter SeheTer, Henry Grim and John
Koch. Jake Miller acted as master of
ceremonies There was fine music, and
the wedding repast was something un-
usually nice, and what is better still,it was
prepared by the bride herself, who, for
six years past, has been a member of Mr..
j. NJ. Buford's family and knows how to

came, few years ago, from Germany, a

a better one than Kate Miller. We wish

Hayerstick on Hobbs.

The Union, OF Sunday, says:
Hobbs, though living in an adjoining
district, was always opposed to Hawley and
said many things ''inimical' to him as Con
gresham, both by mouth and letter. He
had very much the same idea of Hawley that
Capt Robinson formerly had, when he
declared that Hawley hadn't brains
enough to make Congressman.
Early in April Of 1872, Hobbs wrote us
a letter Of II or il pages, distinctly and
emphatically opposing Hawley and urging
that Rock Island county should go for

satisfactory to the people of Henry county.

THE RAILROAD LAWYERS AFRAID OF
HIM.

Knoxville the day after the Princeton con
vention, wrote to the Peoria Democrat,
saying:

brought to bear to induce Mr.. Craig to de-
cline Judge Lawrence friends are will

requesting him to decline, but his friends

of all parties here unite and say he is the
man. All coneede that Craig is an honor
able man and it is conceded that he will

knows that Mr. Cloudy is one of the most
prominent among the great railroad law

JUSTICES AND CoNsTABLEs,

We are under obligations to Mr.. Wat

tees of the Peace and Constables in this
county. Any person who has been elect

not appear in this list has failed to qualify
and file proper bond with the county clerk
as required by law. In the case of neglect
or failure to comply with the law by per
sons elected to the Office of Constables, the
matter can be remedied by an appoint
ment by the town board-but cannot be
done in the case of Justices, as they can
only be elected by the people.
