The EnlbIelns Of Love.

Rosesare admittedly the emblems of
love, An old tradition says that
rose gathered upon midsummer eve,
and kept in a clean sheet Of paper
until Christmas day, viii be fresh
enough for a maiden 10 wear in her
bosom when he who is to be her hus-
band will come and take it out. In
Thuringia the rose holds a similar
position as a love charm; a maid who
has several lovers will name rose
leaf after each,. and then scatter
them upon the water; that which
sinks the last, representing her
future husband, In some part Of
Germany it is customary to throw
rose.leaves on a coal-fre, as q means
Of insuring good luck. In Germany,
as well as in France and Italy, it is
believed that if a drop of ones blood
be buried under a rose tree, it will
insure ROSY cheeks.

A Terrible Habit.

A confirmed gambler is the slave
ofapassion whichhe cannot conquer.
He will give up.all that other men
hold dear rather than the fatal amuse-
ment which is his ruin.
A man in certain city who mar
ried a superior woman had become
addicted to play. He had a hundred
thousand dollars on hand when he
was urged by friend, who took an
interest inhis welfare, to forsake his
evil ways, take this sum of money
and go to Italy, where, upon the in
terest oft, he could support his fam
lily, and educate His children. Some
time after thisconversation the par
ties met. Said the gambler, Il have
been thinking over what you said,
and I.cannot do it. / cannot do it.
fcannot give 1pthe passion for play"
He could no longer govern him
self-he was a slave to gambling
The victims Of this terrible habit are
more numerous than generally sup
posed. They abound in all occupa-
tions, and in all ranks of life. They
enjoy, briefly, an intense, maddening
excitement at the cost of all that is
noble in manhood, and their hours Of
sunshine are followed by days and
years Of bitterness andgrief. Young
man, bewarel shun temptation, lest
yours be the gamblers doom.

The Best Wealth.

1t is not gold or goods that make a
man wealthy. The best wealth is of
the heart, an enlighleed mind, a
loyal conscience pure affections.-=
He is wealthiest who has the largest
stock of wisdom, virtue and love,
whose heart beats with warm sym
pathy for his fellow man, who finds
good in all Seasons, all men. The
generous man who pities the unfor-
tunate, the poor man who orders we'll
his life, the loving man who clings
closely to his family and friends, the
studious man who seeks instruction
in all things, are the truly wealthy
men. Rural.

Charles Yanman relates the follow.
ing anecdote Of Henry Clay. During
the period when William Castor and
Henry Clay were both in Congress
they had an oratital contest which
was. not satisfactory to the latter and
resulted in prolonged alienation
between the two statesmen. Forty
years after the aforesaid debate these
two men met at the table Of Mr.. Sea. (
ton. AT first they were both dispos-
ed to be very dignified toward each
other, and the moment Mr.. Seaton
observed this he remembered the
long-fofgotten difficulty between the
champions oof North Carolina and
Kentucky, and at once propodnded
this sentiment, Friendship in mar
Bile, enmities in dust, t,oand from that
hour Castor and Clay were warm
friends until they parted in death.

A Fearl ess and Truthful Judge.

I once heard this anecdote of Judge
Parsons, the great Massachusetts advo-
cate and lawyer. 1t is said that being
about to try q mercantile case, he or
dered jury to be summoned, and
among the names was that of Col.
Thomas III. Perkins, the leading mer-
chant OF Boston in that day, and a per-
sonal friend Of Judge Parsons. When
the officer made his return, he laid
down fifty dollar bill before the
Judge.
"What is that?" said Parsons.
"Col Perkins says he is very busy in
deed, to-day and prefers to pay his
fine"
"Take that back to Col. Perkins"
said the Judge, 'and tell him to come
here at once; and if he refuses, bring
him by force"
When Col. Perkins appeared, the
Judge looked sternly at him, and said,
"What do you mean, sir by sending
money when you were summoned to
sit on this jury p
"Col. Perkins replied: II meant no
disrespect to the Court, your Honor;
but | was extremely busy fitting out a
ship for the East Indies, and thought
if paid my fine might be excused"
''Fitting out a ship for the East In
dies, sir! shouted the Judge; "and
how happens it that you are able to fit
out ship for the East Indies?"
Your Honor, do not understand
you"
II repeat. then, my question. elbow
is it that you are able to fit out a ship
for the East Indies If you do not
know. | will tell you. 1t is because the
laws of your country are properly adj
ministered. If they were not, you
would have no ships. Take your seat,
sir, with the jury."-Jdmes Freeman

4 Great Horned Fish Attacks ship ut
Sea,

In the Baltic, few weeks ago, ship
was attacked by large fish, its horn
piercing the side, and breaking short
off, piece of it remaining in the wood.
The vessel was obliged to put into Pap
enburg for repairs, and the Papenburg
correspondent of reliable newspaper,
the OStfriesische Zeitung, reports the fol-
lowing facts relative to this event: "The
fragment of horn, which is much frac-
tured, is two by one and half inches
in dimensions. The horn entered astern
at an angle of about 40 degrees. At
the time of the accident the brig was
going, according to the log-book, at the
rate of four knots an hour. The rapid
ity of the fish must therefore have been
quite considerable to produce such a
result. Undoubtedly the fish believed
the ship to be another fish, and attack
ed it with its horn" The following ex-
tract from the log-book may be given
as confederation of the facts: "Jour-
nal kept on board the Marie, Captain
Arends, sailing from Tuyu to Stock
holm. On the 18th of March, at 10
o'clock P. NJ, the watch on the starhoard
felt curious shock; the man at the
wheel had to exercise all his strength
to keep command of the helm. AT the
same time an enormous fish was seen
in the dead water; the fish seemed to
have come in collision with the ship on
the starboard near the mainmast. On
the morning of the 29th it was discov-
cred that the copper of the starboard
side was gone, and that a horn had en-
tered the tlmbers. The ship was, how
ever, still water-tight. On the 29th of
March, at noon, the position of the ship
was degrees A minutes south latitude,
and 90 degrees 80 minutes west longi-
tude. The piece of wood with the
horn in it will be preserved"
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1879-12-18

at the end of that time the suspense
vas over; telegram was received from
President Liocoln releasing him from
arrest, and stating, in enect, that, 'sfrom
the information We have, we do not
see how you could have done other
WISE" A similar message was sent b.
Secretary Stanton, ordering him to re-
port to Gen. Wright, at Cincinnati, on
duty. He staid there a short time, and
was thence ordered to rejoin his di-
vision at Edgefie!d, Tenn. The affair
created great excitement in Louisville,
and threats of lynching Davis were
made. The Indiana soldiers in camp
thereabout took personal interest in
the matter, and thronged the streets
and public places, proposing to have
hand in whatever trouble occurred.
1t was reported that an indictment
was found against him, but nothing
was ever done with it. Gen. Davis had
too many friends, even in Louisville,
for proceedings of that nature to be
prosecuted. The entire army approved
his course, and agreed with the presi-
dent that he "could not have done
otherwise"

the murdered man, was cut out of the
lining of Anderson's overcoat, and /
will be greatly surprised if other evil
dences of the crime do not remain in

"By all MEANS" he said, starting for
the room where Andersen was.
The lining of the coat was ripped
open, and we found 10 it every penny
of poor Mr.. Markham's money. or
course no doubt of Anderson's impos-
ture and guilt remained. Miss Mark

Anderson-was deeply agitated, and the
officer departed at once to swear out
warrant.

the officer vas gone, 81 am ready to

''Do, sir, | beg of you; and may God

"No; you will have to reward me-"

/ made my home at this time, with
my father, and | constrained Miss
Markham to accept our hospitality until
she was free from the william Anderson.
In due time the murderer was indicted
for murder on the high seas, tried in
the United States district court. con-
victed, sentenced and hanged. Before
this event, however, Miss Markham
was divorced. And long before that
she and / had become so we'll pleased
with each other that neither of us
had any hesitation in plighting our
troth to each other. The marriage fol-
lowed hard on the heels of the divorce.
She has made an excellent wife. She
has always been easily led. Her affect
ions are very powerful and confding,
as her great misadventure proved, but
in every other respect she reflected
great credit on her noble lineage. Her
fathers aunt died soon after she heard
of Mr.. Markham's death, and left her
entire estate of twenty-five thousand
pounds to Elsie. So that she and have
been, all through our lives, which are
now drawing to a close, crowned with
the twin blessings of wealth and love-
but the greatest of these is love.
