THE FEIICiANA SENTINEL.

A NAUGHTY SEWING MACHINE
AGENr.-A Columbus, OHIO, correspon-

acportment aud polished manners, q mem

for the Wheeler g. Wilson Sewing Mach

business relations, he engaged in She sale
of musical instruments, ana m"oe se'ei

he is reported to have been ,successi"''

About three years ago he pulled up stakes
and removed to Dayton, where lie. re-
manned but a short time when be hScd
his abode at Quincy, H., where he sNll
resides, and from whence letter mas
been recently received, and from winch
it seems that the domestic relations OF
Mr.. Walker were not what at one time
his numerous friends supposed them 10
he. Tt now appears that the rich sew
1ro machine man had never loved the
.,;fo ofb,s bosom, with that degree OF
intensity that poets write OF, but that
the principle incentive VI lilo '
her WAS the fact that she was the pos
SCISSOR of about $4,000, which, it occurr-
ed to him, he could use to advantage as
ba was destitute of means himself. Inc
MARRIAGE was consumated. and the imam
c;a, mari of the transa ction proved in ev'
ery respect u success, while the ma'i'lho
nj al part evidently was not. While NV
ing in Dayton, Walker became ena'nofe'
of young lady by the name OF CarPeh
ter. and, after his removal to quincy, I'LL
conviction dawned upon him that the re
mairdcr of his life must I've drear
blank, unless arrangements coold
made Whereby his dc fdcto wife sho"i
ahdicate in favor of the fair one, who la
won his heart. After much soi'cltat'o'
he prevailed npon ais wife to allow MI
to procure divorce, promising to pr
vide well for the three children, ana
repay her the $4,000 which had cons'
tnted the basis of his fortune. The q
vorce was granted upon the ground
incompatability of temper. NO soon
had wife No. 1 been disposed OF, than n
successor was duly installed, and tt
man who first married for fortune, al
afterwards for love, now announces NIL
self supremely happy. A most slngu'
feature Ct the case as reported 49, III
the divorced wife continues to I'VE WI
her children, under the same root WI
her successor, and so far as hearo ITO
in perfect harmony.

Oddities of seIHshness.

From Naomi lan's Magazine.
More amusing are the strange fancies
that some persons have as to what over
worked men may be asked to do for
them. In the very thick of the
American war there came to Presi-
dent Lincoln an Illinois farmer in a
great state of excitement about a pair
of horses that one of Lincoln's generals
had requisitioned for the war. The
owner was of course entitled to COM
pensation, but somehow it had not come.
Going to the president, he told him his
story, and was rather chagrined to be
told that it did not lie with him to pay
the money. ''Then," says the farmer,
twill you undertake to write to the
general and see that matter is settled
properly?n Poor Lincoln, who never
wanted a story to help him in an emer-
gency, was ready for his visitor.
"Wben I was a railsplitter," he said,
''there lived near us a smart young fell
low, the captain of a Mississippi boat,
who could steer a vessel over the rapids
with wonderful skill, as hardly any one
else could could. One day, when he
wa grasping the wheel with his utmost
strength, at the most critical point of
the rapids, a little boy came running
up to him in great excitement and said,
'Cap'n, stop your ship, my apple has
fallen overboardl'
In the Life of Sir James Simpson,
there are some curious notices of the
extraordinary things that patients in
the country would sometimes ask him
to do. Once a gentleman wrote to him
asking him to send him a copy of the
prescription which he had given him
some years before, when the doctor
could hardly recall the man, much less
the prescription. Others would ask
him to go to Duncan & Flockhart's and
get them some particular medicine.
A very busy clergyman Of our ac-
quaintance, when over head and ears
with many things, once got a letter
from q stranger in the United States,
explaining that more than n century
ago some one of the same OK Gown
ed IA property near Edinburgh which
was believed to have been destined by
will in a particular way so that the re-
latives in America thought they had
some claim to it. lie was requested
to inquire into the matter, find out
about the will, communicate with the
present owners of the property and put
everything in train for a just settlement
Of the claim. 1t would have been rea-
sonable for the writer TO inclose a bill
for $500, but that, unfortunately, he
omitted tp do.

MORAL AND

Always speak the truth.
Carelessness gives temptation to dis.
honesty.
Alittle impatience subverts great un.
dertakings.
He who loses hope may then part
with anything.
The Christian life is not knowing nor
hearing, but doing.
The error of a moment becomes the
sorrow of a whole life.
Love, faith, patience-the three es-
sentials to a happy life.
There is nothing terrible in death but
our life hath made it so.
The man who passes on his honesty
wants little of the villain.
The finest fruit earth holds up to its
Maker is the finished man.
A judicious silence is better than
truth spoken without charity.
He who can pay homage to the truly
d~espicable is truly contemplate.
Virtue pardons the wicked, as the
sandal tree perfumes the axe that strikes
it.
Never lend an article you have bor-
rowed unless you have permission to do
so.
Gods treasury is absolutely inexhaus-
tible. He can never fail a trusting
heart.
Character alone is immortal. Not
what we have, but what we are, is en-
during.
He who strikes the endearments of
life increases, at the same time, the ter
rors of death.
With God caring for us we are strong
to live; with God supporting lis we are
strong to die.
We may at our peril reconcile our-
selves to the world, but it will never
reconcile itself to us.
He who has his thoughts best en-
ployed when alone will use his tongue
best when in company.
Never be idle. If your hands cannot
be usefully employed, attend to the cul
tivation of your mind.
Persevering mediocrity is more re-
spectacle and of unspeakably more use
than talented Inconsistency.
Innocence is a flower which withers
when touched, but blooms not again,
though it be watered with tears.
The true end of freedom is to develop
manhood and womanhood, not to make
authors, mechanics or statesmen.
No human scheme can be so accurate
ly projected but some little circum-
stance may Intervene to spoil it.
Contentment is not happiness. An
oyster may be contented. Happiness
is compounded of richer elements.
They asked Lucman, the fabulist,
From whom did you learn manners?''
He answered: "From the unmannerly.''
He who thinks he can do without 9th.
ers is mistaken; he who thinks others
cannot do without him is still more
mistaken.
