IL Rome had anything OF more value
than arms aud valor. He mounted his
horse, richly capansoned, and amid the
silence Of the people, spurred him over
the brink OF the tremendous precipice

An old farmer Of Harrison county
was lately swindled out of 81 900 by
the following process: A chap came
along and was trying to sell the farmer
combined trough and hay rack" for
feeding cattle, when up rode jack log
lawyer from Gallatin, who. being
slightly known 10 the farmer, and en-
quired il there was a certain Mr.. Blank
IN that section who was selling liquid
that would make old boots as good as
new. He of the hay rack replied, 81
am the man-what DO you want?" "I
desire TO purchase the right OF Missouri
or Pennsylvania, replied the lawyer
"what is your price?' Twelve hun
dred dollars for Missouri, and q, 500
for Pennsylvania" replied the patent
right man, as be drew forth an old
worn boot aud new one which he de-
clared was ike the old one till he ap-
piled the Liquid" TO il. The lawyer
was delighted, and after some dick
eriog purchased Pennsylvania for S2l00
and in the presence OF the farmer gave
his check for that amount on a bank in
Gallatin, and then rode of IL did
not take the patent right man long to
sell ''the State OF Missouri" to the
farmer, for which a note secured by a
mortgage on his farm, which note was
hastily sold to a bank at Gallatin by

ing the swag with his "capper, the

Japanese Breach OF PromI.e.

After japanese lover has proven
false to his VOWS, the deserted maiden
rises abost two O'Clock in the morning
aud dons a white robe and high sandals
or clogs. Her Golf is a metal tripod,
in which are thrust three lighted can
dies around her neck she hangs a
mirror. which falls upon her bosom; in
her left hand she carries a small straw
fgure-the efligy OF her faithless lover
and in her right hand she grasps "A
hammer and nail, with which she nails
into one Of the sacred trees that sur
round the shrine. Then she prays for
the death of the traitor, Yowing that il
her petition be heard she will herself
pull out the nails which offend the god
by woundiDg the mystic tree. Night
after night she comes TO the shrine, and
each night she strikes in two moro nails,
believing that every nail will shorten
her lovers life, for the god, 70 save his
tree, will surely strike him dead. 1t is
a curious illustration of the hold sup
erstition yet has on the Japanese mind.

The following is a translation from q
German paper. The sentiment is good,
and we give it for the benefit OF ouI
young English readers:
Marriages are usually contracted 10
crafty one of three desires, viz. love,
fortune or position.
The man who marries for love, takes
n wife; who marries for fortune, takes q
mistress; who marries for position, takes
n lady. He is loved by his wife; re-
garded by his mistress; tolerated by his
lady. He has n wife for himself; q mis-
tress for his household; q lady for the
world and society.
II His wife will take care Of his house
hold; his mistress of his house; his lady
OF his Appearances. IL he is sick, his
wife will take care Of him; his mistress
will visit him; his lady will enquire af-
ter his health. He takes n week with
his wife; q ride with his mistress; goes
20 a party with his lady. His wife will
share his grief; his mistress his money;
his lady his debts. IL he dies; his wife
will weep; his mistress lament; and his
lady wear mourning"
