lin fecit.
The wisdom and scholarship of that
day were wholly drawn from books.
Franklin dealt directly with the great
natural forces, physical and human; out
of the unlikely material of his fellow
apprentices he made the philosophic
unto; with the petty politics OF the
drowsy town, he studied statecraft; a
kite and key under his keen eyes told
the secret of the lightnings, which had
been kept for ages. Nothing was too
insignificant for the life-giving glance of
those keen eyes. He sees seed adhering
to the straws on his wife's broom, plants,
tends it. and gives to the country the
before unknown broomcorn and new
source of industry. He observes green
twig lying on basket on the wharf,
thrown from an Amsterdam brig, plants
and tends that, and presently Pollard
willows grow wild by every stream.
He is the foremost typical American in
our history; moral rather than religious;
domestic man; faithful to his wife, yet
cultivating Platonic friendship with
other women; never losing his cool self
control, vet with keen, fine sense Of
fun; testing, one minute, high meta

Louis Hemingway is man whose
exploits in marriage among the well-to-
do people of Clermont county, Ohio,
and vicinity, have been equal in degree
to the attentions of George Magurn to
the sex. Very recently some of his
victims have taken pains to call in the
help of the law against him, and the eff
fort has revealed story which is scarce
ly credible. Two years ago he appeared
in the village of Cherry Grove as u ped
dler Of jewelry. He was intelligent and
so fascinating that he soon won the es-
TEEN of Miss Vallient, an orphan girl.
living with her grandmother, and own
ing good property. Hemmingray
agreed to marry her, and then borrowed
1000 of her to start in business in
other localities. About this time it was
discovered that Hemmingray had a wife
in Indiana, and soon after he eloped,
leaving Miss Vallient his creditor Soon
afterward he married young girl in
Kentucky, opposite New Richmond.
Ohio. Before the honeymoon was over
he deserted her. not being able to get as
much money as he expected. He next
appeared in Newton. Hamilton county,
as horse dealer. Here he engaged to
marry Miss Brooks, a girl of some
means. Going with her to Cincinnati
on shopping expedition one day, he
managed to get possession of her peck
etbook, and then lost her in crowded
dry goods store. His next venture was
in Clermont county, not far from the
scene of his first marriage. He married
Miss Annie Young, and moved to Mat
toon, Illinois. There he deserted his
wife in short time, and with singular
impudence came back to Clermont
county, saying his wife would soon fol-
low him. He has now about gone his
length in this locality, and, as he is
wanted in court, he will probably trans
fer himself to pastures new. He is Of
medium hight, hair slightly gray, sell
dom wears beard, has a ring and a
wreath, with a secret society design tat

HAYDON ON THE DEATH OF HIS
CHILp.-"I have lost my youngest
daughter, the more beautiful Of the two,
and under circumstances Of great sor-
row and affection. She lived but two
wears and nine months, and her life was
q long torture. Good God! what an ex-
istence this is! Here is a creature comes
into the world without her consent, never
speaks from pain, never walks from suf-
fering, yet conscious Of hearing others
speak. and seeing others walk, and lies
gasping with ambition to do what others
do, is seized with commissions and dies,
without the power of making her suffer
ings known, or being able to express
one desire, one want,.or one necessity.
When she was in the agonies of APP
preaching death, put my face to hers
and said, Fanny, darling, do you know
papa 2 and she moaned assent, as she
,,sed to do. Then she opened both her
beautiful and lustrous eyes, with look
which will live fresh in my imagination
till NV last hour. The last convulsion
was now approaching, and, as if con-
scious of some terrific power she could
not resist, with frantic scream, she
held ont her arms as if appealing to me.
who had always, to her senses, been able
to do, or order to be done, what she
wished; and she put out her dear arms
to me. us if saying, Save me, save mel
All! my darling, thought. you little
know the power You appeal against.
The struggle exhausted her, she fell
back, and lay in calm, soothing palpi-
tation. and in few minutes died with
out a sigh. And then her dear face
changed from all the agony of pain to
the angelic repose Of death"

ANECDOTE OF THACKERAY. -Thack-
cray was at one time welcome visitor
at the house OF Lady Ashburton, who
was somewhat free with her tongue and
her opinion of others. Something that
the saucy hostess said offended her
guest. and he not only declined her in
vitations, but spoke OF her with discour-
tesy. Some months after, when his an
cry feelings had died ont, he received
from Lady Ashburton card OF invita-
ton to dinner. He returned it with a
pen and ink drawing on the back, rep
resenting himself kneeling at her feet,
with his hair all atlame from the hot
Goals she was vigorously pouring on his
head out of an ornamental brazier.
This humorous expression Of contrition
was followed by complete reconcilia-
ton. The satirist and the lady contin-
ned warm friendship.
