A Persecuted Lover.

Joe Hayne, who was aWestern Indian
of warm blood and large fortune, fell
in love with beautiful actress, Miss
Foote. He proposed marriage, and was
accepted. Before the ceremony could be
performed, however, Hayne discovered
that Miss FoOte was the mother of two
children who claimed Colonel Berkeley
(afterward Lord Fitzhardings) as their
father. Heat once declined to complete
the contract; whereupon Miss Foote, at
her precious fathers instance, brought
an action against him for breach of
promise, and laid the damages at e10,-
600. Society was astounded at the au-
dacity of the proceeding; but through
the eloquence Of Counsellor Scarlett
(who, in spite of his name, as Lord
Brougham said, " never was bonn to
blush'D, "injured innocence" obtained

was much shedding of ink by the news
papers of the time because controversy
arose on the merits of the case, and the
poetasters tried their hands at suitable
doggerel.

from the custody of the double-dealing
mother, it was that

Worldly Wise.
BY ALICE CARY,

It was the boatman RosanIee,
And he sailed through the mists so white;
And two little ladies sat at his knee,
With their two little heads so bright;
And so they sailed and sailed all three
On the golden coast O. the night.
Young Rosanlee had a handsome face.
And his great beard made him brown;
And the two little ladies in girlish grace
They kept their eyelids down.
The one in her silken veil of lace,
And the one in her woolsey gown.
For one little lady lived in the wood,
Like flower that hides from the day;
Her name was Jenny-they call her the good
And the name Of the other was May;
And her palace windows looked ON the flood,
Where they softly sailed away.
Long time the balance even stood
With our Ronsalee that day:
But what was q little house in the wood
To palace grand aud gay?
SO he gave his heart to Jenny the good,
And his hand he gave to May.

years later, being still beautiful, she

an eccentric beau of vast wealth, who
wore brown coats, had brown car
rage. and clothed his domestics in
brown llveries, out of respect of the
memory of Miss Brown whom he had
once loved. Petersham became Lord

Romance of the Rebellion.
From the india napolis Herald

Sixteen years ago wealthy Indian,
polls gentleman had daughter VIII
was the pet of the household and
society belle. A young man, son of ar
other prominent citizen, wooed th
daughter, and, failing to lind favor
the eyes of her father, projected an,
carried to successful issue an elope
ment. The young couple were marriet
and located in Texas. At the outbreaI
OF the war the young husband enlisted
in Confederate regiment. and the wife,
disguised in male attire, enlisted in the
same regiment and followed her hus
band to the field. During one of the
engagements in which the regiment
participated the wife was wounded by a
minnie bullet, and the husband, still
ignorant of her disguise, helped to carry
her from the field. In dressing the
wound the sex of the dashing trooper
was discovered, and she was discharged
from the regiment and came North.
The husband was killed in succeeding
engagement. Her relatives never for
gave the marriage, and refused to
recognize the wife when she returned.
The father still lives in q neighboring
county, and is counted one of the
wealthiest citizens, while the woman,
now poor and broken in health, lives in
miserable little house in an unfre-
quented alley OF this city.

suspected of being poison r. These
archives show that inquiries we're
secretly set on foot about him, and that
his innocence was indisputably proved.
Indeed among the motley crew who
dabbled in poisons there was not a single
literary man OF the slightest pretensions
to fame. Voisin was burned alive in
February, 1880. Madame de Carada,
wife of a "master of woods and forests, :"
had her hand cut off year afterward.
Between these two a good many met
their just punishment; and then the
trials suddenly ceased, and the chan16re
0rde1ate left off it's Investigations.

Marriage Among the Romans.

The Romans not only rewarded those
who married, but decreed penalties
against men who remained in state
of celibacy. Fines we're first levied
upon unmarried men about the year of
Rome $50; and when pecuniary for
FIXTURES failed to insure their obedience
to these connubial edicts, their con-
tumacious neglect of the fair sex was
punished by degradations from their
tribe. Celibacy continued, however to
gain ground in Rome; and, to counter
act it's effects, we find that in the year 513
from the foundation of the city, the
censors had resource to the extraordi-
nary measure of obliging all the un-
married men to pledge themselves on
oath to marry within certain time. In
Babylon an auction Of unmarried ladies
used to take place annually. The
virgins Of manageable ages, in every
district, were assembled on a certain
Gay of every year. The most beautiful
was first put up, and the man who babe
the largest sum of money gained pos
session of her. The second in personal
appearance followed; and the purchas-
ers gratifed themselves with handsome
WIVES according 10 tno OepLn OF Lnelr
purses. When all the beautiful virgins
were sold, the crier ordered the most
reformed to stand up; and after he had
openly demanded who would marry her
with small sum, she was at length
adjudged to the man who would be
satisfied with the least; and in this
the money arising from the
sale of the handsome women served as q
portion to those who were either of
looks, or that had any other
fault or imperfection.

Sickness in the Harem.
London Letter

The carpet on which the Sultan daily
prays, is kept in order by several per
sons, whose joint salary is So, 500 year.
The Sultan's doctors and apothecarles
cost $40, 900 a year. Whenever any of
the Sultan's wives fall Ill, or rather
unwell, she is at once sent away from
the Sultan's palace. His third wife fell
suddenly and dangerously i'll recently,
and could not in common decency
be removed. The Sultan constantly
refused to see her during all her illness.
She died during the night, and the
instant he heard of her death he Quilted
the palace and refused to return until
after the burial. When physicians are
summoned to the palace they enter the
harem with the old ceremonial. First
comes a eunuch, branishing very
large sabre; then comes the doctor, fol
lowed by two other eunuchs, armed to
the teeth. Muttis, or religious teachers,
are never admitted.

Counterfeit Gold Coin.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The skillfully-executed gold SIS pieces
which have recently been creating con.
siderable excitement in New York, and
also at the Washington Mint, have
finally turned no on this coast, and
were few days ago refused at the Bank
of California and sent up to Mint to be
assayed. When the piece came to the
Mint it was pronounced genuine by
several parties whose experience with
coin of all descriptions entities THEN
judgement to consideration. The piece
was somewhat lighter in color than the
gold coined here, but this was sup
posed to be accounted for by it's having
been coined at the Philadelphia Mint
where for number of years the pro
cess of working the metal gave it light
color without, in the slightest degree
detracting from it's value. The counter.
felt was carefully weighed and found te
come UP to the standard. "Look in.
side" suggested somebody, and &C
cordingly piece of the coin was sawed
off and the fraud was at once apparent
While the piece resembled gold to al
intents and purposes, it was perfectly
white inside, simply piece of platinum
plated with gold. The platinum gave il
the weight, and. in fact a piece OF
platinum the size of a ive-dollar gold
piece would weigh more than the gold
The difficulty Was obviated by making
the piece trife thinner than the gen.
uine coin, but the difference was not
noticeable. The specific gravity Of gold
is 80, platinum 21.15. The peculiar
properties of platinum have often given
rise to fraudulent admixtures which
have deceived experienced assayers.
Experiments by Mr.. Vanquelin, q
French chemist, determind the fact
that where platinum does not exceed

platinum is yet determined by ordinary

were presented at the Bank of Cali
fornia by a sea-captain, who bought
them at Panama at the usual rate of ex-
change. He had several hundred dol
lars to deposit at the bank and their
light color first attracted attention. The
captain was considerable surprised when
he heard the result of the assay.

The Scotch Reviewers of Jeffrey's
Times.

From the British Quarterly Review.
The generation for which jeffrey
wrote had no small share of self com
placency, and it was self -complacency
fortified by circumstances. It was a
generation of very considerable force
and earnestness, and that force and
earnestness had a very strong bias in one
particular direction. Such biased force
has its advantages, but wide stretch
ing sympathy, or a quick sensibility to
the genius of another age, is not one of
those. What is good in itself it prizes,
but it does SO to the exclusion of that
which an age possessing perhaps less
stringent characteristics of its own may
be ready to appreciate. For us, rivalry
has not made appreciation impossible.
Our own generation has sought other
objects, and achieved a bias In a
different direction; but while the force
OF it's literary genius may be thereby
dulled, the absence and hopelessness of
literary emulation may make our criti-
cism none the disinterested. Our laurels
are not chiefly won in the fields where
we may find Swift and Addison and
their contemporaries for rivals, and we
may content ourselves with our power
of Judging the more calmly of the merits
of different competitors. We can no
longer fatter ourselves with the COM
placent optimism upon which the
Edinburgh reviewer bases his judge
ment of literary progress; we can no
longer assent with him to the PROPOSE
tion that in literary taste every gener-
alton is better than its predecessor

The Proposed Forum in Cincinnati.

From the American Architect and Building News
The men of Cincinnati show refresh
ing rivalry in efforts to make their CITY
beautiful. Mr. David Sinton has IN
dertaken to furnish the city with an
dgora, or forum, or, as it is called in the
papers, esplanade, which. will be used,
we may guess, for outdoor meeting.
speech making, open-air music, and the
like. The open square III front of the
City Government Building, and east of
the Probasco Fountain, or part. of it,
is to be taken, it's surface raised little
above the enclosing street, surrounded
by stone curb and continuous step,
and paved with diagonal slabs of free
stone. This pavement, forty eight by
three hundred and sixty feet, will be
divided by transverse bands into
seven panels, or bays, or about fifty
feet, each of which W II be ornamented
with tassellated center in geometric
design, and marked at the corner by
posts set in the curb, and at the side by
lamp osts set in range at the centres
of the dividing bands. The design of
the work is by Messrs. Hannaford and
and Proctor. The central panel of the
pavement is to be occupied by rostrum
designed by Mr.. Mclaughlin, about
thirty by sixty feet, with semicircular
ends. It will consist of platform two
feet high, surrounded by four continuous
steps and upon this a second platform
oftwenty-fve feet square, and five and
half feet above the pavement, with a
semicircular projection at each end for
the use of speakers, fanked by double
flights of steps. The upper platform,
built of blue granite, and girt by
a balustrade of polished red
Scotch granite, will be lighted,
by bronze candelbras, and emphasized
at the corners by pedestals bearing
bronze grifins. In the middle is to be
a group of bronze sculpture, some forty
FIVE feet high, of which it is proposed
that the central figure shall be statue
of Cincinnatus. The idea is novel and
interesting though it occurs to us that
for practical use it would be an ad-
vantage if the shape of the ground
were less oblong, so that the people
could be massed more uniformly within
hearing distance of the rostrum. What
might be the consequence when ex-
citing speakers of opposite politics
occupy simultaneously the two ends of
he rosttrum, we forbear to guess.

"Get in Chloe" said he.

Chloe jumped in. He took the reins,

Then all was still They had gone.
"Why, good gracious !" said Kitty.
"What right had they to go, when ma

But she said no more: for the next
moment there came rolling over the
carpet the two old shepherds from the
back parlor mantel. The two were
talking.
eyes, yes, Isaac," one of the old
shepherds was saying, "I know you are
a man I should be pleased to marry my
girl to. You have money and plenty
of sense, and lands and sheep and COWS.
Chloe shall have you"
"Tnank you, Master Peter, for your
good word,' said the other shepherd.
"But Pm afraid that young rascal
on the other end of his mantel-piece Is
undermining me. He's younger and
prettier, you see, and that is what a
foolish girl thinks Of"
"I don't care what they think" said
the old shepherd. "Chloe shall do as [
say. But where are they?
"Both gone," said Isaac; and the little
tin wagon is gone, too; they've eloped
in it."
"Then I'll follow them, and smash
him when catch him." said old Peter
The rocking horse is on the porch;
we'll take that and follow them. Here
the window is open Come, and if !
catch them I'll smash him to atoms"
Away flew the old shepherds from the
window.
"Where have they gomez" cried
Kitty. ooh, dear, what will ma say?''
Then some one said:
"Why, what does this mean?" Here's
Kitty asleep in the Turkish chair in the
parlor; in her nightgown, too, and with
! bare feet"
1t was her mother.
"Why, how did she come here p said
some one else. 1t was her grandmother,
and it was broad day light.
ooh, ma! Oh, grandma cried
Kitty. 8" [ never saw anything SO
funny. The shepherdess has eloped in
my tin cart with the shepherd, and the
two old shepherds have gone after them
on the hobby-horse. And her father
wants her to marry Isaac, and he's
going to smash Colln."
"You've been dreaming, child" said
her mother.
"Have II" said Kitty, rubbing her
eyes. 81 believe I have"
She looked at the mantel. There
stood the shepherd and shepherdess, as
pretty as ever.
