A Woodbury. Sensation.

A few weeks ago an unmarried gen.
man, of the legal profession, arrived in
Woodbury., and in a short time form
ed a copartnership with one Of the lead
ing lawyers in that pleasant little city.
Everything gave promise of busy
but undisturbed and tranquil life, I'M
til an interruption of a rather singular
character occurred, which interferred
with existing arrangements, and excit-
ed much comment among the good PEG.
pie of the county seat of Cannon.
Last Friday a lady arrived in Muir
freosboro and engaging carriage from
Roberts q Oslin, was driven rapidly in
the direction of Woodbury.. Arriving
at that place, she stopped at the hotel
and made enquiries for the legal gentle
man. He was absent at the moment,
but soon made his appearance ca the
street. When the lady saw him she
rushed towards him, and gave him a
greeting so cordial as to quite dun.
founder the wandering Woodburians
who witnessed the meeting. The gen.
tleman at last got the lady to his office.
1t is not necessary to enlarge upon the
scene which ensued. Suffice it to say
that within a few hours the twain were
on their way to Murfreesboro. They
went direct to the depot at this place,
and left for Nashville on the 2:15 Sat
urday morning train. They returned
to Murfreesboro Monday and register
ed at the hotel, but after giving some
Instructions at the express office, they
went back to Nashville.
Various statements explanatory Of
these movements have been made. One
is that the lady became infatuated with
the gentleman while he was attending
to some business for her in Ellsworth,
Kansas. The other is that by means
of newspaper advertisement, the two
became correspondents, passing within
the period of ten months no less than
365 letters and 40 telegraphic MESA
ges. The lady is said to reside neal
Memphis, and has property.
1t is understood that there is nothing
criminal in the affair, but that it is one
of the many romances in real life which
have given rise to the apothegm, "Trutl
is stranger than fiction. "-MutreeSbOrC

THE FALSE STEP.

Draw nearer, boys, while I tell you of one
Who once was bright and dutiful son:
A Joy to the household and much promise
gave,
But nov sadly sleeps in poor drunkard's
In childhood and youth he was truthful and
The word of his parents were borne in his
And when to the right or the left he would
stray,
Their pardon, with tears in his eyes, he
would pray.
At night he would call for the stories of old,
BY father aEd mother alternately told
And then he would kneel by his dear moth
er's side
And pray that the Saviour with them would
abide.
The winter, the spring, and the summer and
Were seasons of pleasure, for love crowned
them all
Love that is food to the tried parents
heart
Love that has cost one His life to impart.
Sad were their hearts when the hour drew
nigh
For him that they cherished to bid them
goodbye,
To go from his home and enter the strife
With those that contend for the honors of
life.
"Be active, be thoughtful, be faithful and
Your mother and will of course think of
you
When weeping together we kneel at the feet
OF Jesus and there our longings repeat.
The Bible, my son, we will give you to-day,
And pray that for you it may light up the
way
That leads from this world to the bright land
above,
Where sin cannot enter--the sweet realm of
love-"
The mother and father thus spoke to their
Since life, with its cares, had with him just
begun;
And pressing him close to their bosoms they
cried,
"Nay Jesus, the Saviour, be ever your guide"
The VOWS that he made, which were watered
with tears,
Dispslled all their doubts and removed all
their fears
Yes, sweetly they fell on the hearts of the
two,
And blest them as flowers are blest by the
dew.
He met with the wild and the wicked and
Who sought to conform him at once to their
way;
But thinking of lessons he learned at his
home,
He said to the tempter, "My feet shall not
roam"
"The world you must study, twill do you no
HARM"
He stops for moment and views with alarm
The scenes that were pictured by all but q
friend,
Who fendishly promised assistance to lend.
"The wine that hand you is ruddy, yet
mild,
In strength not sufficient to hurt mere child.
Come, then, and be social. know if you
drink
Twill add to the chain of your pleasure a
linkp
He drank, yet in drinking his conscience
was panied.
He thought, sadly thought, that he should
have refrained:
"For mother would weep, and with sorrow
would bow
Her head if she knew of the first broken
VOW"
Anon at the sweet sounding call did he go
And kneel at the feet of the father of woe,
Till soon il was plain that the battle was Ger,
That thoughts of his mother would trouble
no more.
Imagine the rest, for it pains me to tell
OF deeds that he done ere he entered the
cell,
OF hearts that were broken, OF tears that
were shed,
OF those that were berne to the home Of
the dead,

His bill to repeal the tax on tobacco
in the hands Of the producer is a blow
in the right direction toward wiping
out an odious and unjust law. 1t has
passed the committee, and is now on
the House calendar.
He has endeavored during his whole
official career to reduce internal reve-
nue. tax and cut down expenses in that
department, and he has favored every
measure looking to economy in every
part of the government.
He procured amnesty for 700 men
indicted for violation of the revenue

reduced to want.

Its ingredients are so skilfully COM
bined, that the full Alternative effect Of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which

Certificates attesting its virtues have

cinnati Enquirer reporter:
1 think the Democratic party just
now has the best chance of winning.
YOu see, the Democrats have 1873 votes
solid from the South. That much they
are sure Of, and if they can carry New
York and Indiana they will have 1888
votes, three to spare. Besides these,
there is Il chance of their carrying New
Jersey or Connecticut, and perhaps Or
egon or Nevada. You see. there las
been such al emigration from Nevada
to Leadville and other points in Color
ado quite recently that there is no tell
ing how these States are going to g.
Even if the Democrats lost Indiana. if
they carried y ew Jersey and Connecti-
cut, they would still be safe.

win because he would carry Indiana

said III the ADVANCE that if Grant
were nominated lie would not lie elect.

For the small amount of $500 il year
our readers can place themselves in

OF full and trustworthy Chicago market

The Weekly News is a large eight
