An Ola, Old Story.

"A thousand times the old story
has been told through the press
and whispered in society, and still
the lesson is not learned. A young
lady, lust of the school-room, is fas-
mated by the attentions Of a man
of the world, and nothing can per
suade her that he is. not the noblest,
the bravest, the best o6 lovers.
What does she know, poor thing
of the secret lives of these gallant
gentlemen I? She reads the legend
of excess and evil courses written
on the bleared eye and the trcmu-
lous lip. and she can not under
stand it. She hears whisper, per-
haps, of scandalous prodigality and
indulgence. and she stops her littlo
ears and loves her hero all the bet
ter as the victim Of detraction.
She knows nothing Of his previous
history, nothing Of his daily occu-
pations, nothing of his associates.
She little imagines that his soft
complim entS conceal a cruel temper,
and the hand which presses hers so
tenderly is brutal hand, fit only
for deeds of violence. That he is u y
gambler and drunkord, false,
quarrelsome, idle, sellisl, and sen
sual; that he is at war with his pa.
rents, and 4 tyrant in the. company
of women, she might learn, if asl'o
would exercise us much caution in
choosing a husband us in choosing
bonnet. But young women have
dim notion that it is grand and
noble to take q lover on trust, t.
despise good counseloand filial obc-
dience, and ahey hug themselves
with the sweet delasion that they
are herpincs when fhcy are only
fools.
The girl triumpbs, of course, over
father and mother. Those who
reallyoove her follow the wcdling
festivities with aching hearts-anl
watch the future with sorrowful ap-
prehension. The ineyitable sequel
is not long delayed. For {, few
short weeks life rs a dream of soft
-sentiment and new gowns. Then
the truth begins to dawn upon til"
poor little heart. She has sold her.
self for :, passing fancy. Neglect.
is soon followed 'by angry words
and contemptuous locks, aud bru,
tai jrsts. The gallant gentleman
goes out cursing in the morning and
comes home reeling at night. Her
jewels are sold to buy bread, and
he steals the money to spend it for
drink. There is q hideous bruiso
on the white neck Of which lie used
to say such pretty things. Sho
shudders at the footstep for which
she once listened with rapture. She
hides herself in terror from the face
upon which she thoughto she could
gaze forever. Sometimes, with the
courage which fseems to be only Civ
Ell to certain women, she holds -
proud and smiling face to the world,
hides the brutalitics of her master,
covers up her hardship, dissembles
hunger, and no one knows, except
the husband, when she rests at last
from her sorrows, that the brave
heart was broken in the first months
after marriage. Sometimes the sad
story ends in that common curse
and punishment OF American mar
riages, a legal separation, and some-
times in the one catastrophe which
IS worse than divorce i'll murder.

The distance from Emporia to |
Galveston is 1861 miles. Passen- |
ger time, 3S hours, including stop
pages. Freight time about four |
days. The distance from this city !
TO New York by shortest route is |
over 1900 miles, or double the
distance to Galveston.
1t is q well-cstablished fact, that
freights are transported from Gal
weston 10 European ports as
cheaply rs from New York.
IL is well known that the price
of bread and meat in Emporia is
fixed by the price OF those articles
in Liverpool and Havre.
Every dollar saved in cost of
transportation is n dollar paid TO
the producer. 1t now costs fifty
cents TO transport a bushel or
wheat from Emporia to New Y orlS.
If it can be carried to Galveston,
half the distance, fer half the
price, and from thence TO Liver
pool ut the same price as from
New York, then wheat ought to
bring taoenty.fee cents per 6usheI
more in Emporia than when the
price is fixed by the cost of the
old route. At the same rate there
should be half cent per pound
added TO every pound of beef or
pork exported from here. if il is
cured ready for shipment, as il
should be at home. Onr codees,
sugars, tropical fruits, de-, ought

RoBBING ST.. PETER's TREASURY.
"A Sgreat deal of scandal has
been made over the robbery of
the sum of $4,000 francs from the
treasury of st. Peters by it's Sec
re:ary, Signor Fornari. The treas
ury of st. Peters is administered
by four enthusiastically VII
telleschi, Mgr. Riva, Mgr. Peal
cole and Mgr. Montani. When,
few weeks ago, they examined
into the state of the funds, they
were astonished to find n large sum
missing, and summoned Fornari to
their presence. He confessed that
he had speculated with some of the
money and had bought q hotel in
the Via Frattina, which he hoped
to rent out in such a way rs to
enable him TO soon pay back the
money he had taken. On further
examination it was discovered
that the large amount of 10000
francs was gone, and in conse-
quence the prelates said that, al
though they would in their char
iJy grant certain time to For
mari to enable him TO refund what
he had taken, they must remove
him from his responsible position.
Instead of cndeavoring to repair
the mischief he had done, For
nari's courage gave way, and he
killed himself, and so all the
world knows what otherwise
would have been kept secret
