Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1880-02-04
An Early Romance.

In early life Sir Walter Scott fell deeply
in love with II girl of aristocratic family,
and as he was then merely poor barrister,
there was no prospect of success. His
father, knowing this, and being desirous TO
bring the matter to a close. suggested to
the parents the propriety of terminating the
acquaintance. and this was done in the
least painful manner The lady was the
only daughter of Sir John Stewart, Of For
farshire, and she afterwards married Sir
William Forbes, the Eoted Edinburgh
banker. As Scott was a well educated
young man, of fine personal appearance and
agreeable manners. there could be but little
reason for giving the banker preference,
except his wealth and social rank. Scott
felt this keenly through life; in '.ROkeby"
he revived the episode at some length.
Matilda, the heroine Of the poem, repre-
sents the object of his love. who there re-
jects poet in favor OF one of higher rank,
and this scene becomes doubly interesting
as picture of SCOTS early experience, In
1911 Lady Forbes died; but she lived long
enough TO see the once penniless barriSter
the first poet in Scotland. Her death was
deeply felt by Scott, for, although he had
been married for twelve years, the old
flame was not extinguished. ''ROkeby'
appeared next day, and LOckhart says
THAT there is nothing wrought out, in all
SCOTS prose, more exquisite than the CON
'trast between the rivals for the hand of the
heroine Six years afterwards Scott wrote
thus TO Miss Edgeworth: Matilda was at
tempted for the person of lady who is
now no more, so that | am tlattered with
your distinguishing it." As this took
place nearly twenty years after the disap
pOintment, it illustrates the tenacity whith
which the author held his first love. When
Lady Forbes died, Scott was so affected
that he called on her mother; and both fell
TO weeping over the said affair. II is 4
curious incident in domestic history to see
man carrying his first love so tenderiy
through life while married to another wO-
man to whom he always showed attach
ment. Scott evidently made Matilda the
ideal or dream-wife who accompanied him
10 the last. Having recovered from the
worst effects of his disappointment, he met
French girl, whose father had saved both
life and fortune by fleeing from the dangers
of the Revolution. AT the time referred 10,
Miss Carpenter (or Carpen;er) was an or
phan, and to her Scott transferred his affec-
tions, as far as this was possible. He ap-
peared, as has been said, much attached
to his wife through life, and sincerely
mourned her death. She was, however,
intellectually and physically inferior to the
Scottish ladies OF that city, and the rapid
degeneracy Of the family may, IN some de-
gree, be ascribed to so unfavorable union.

The Baby tt ee.

No curiosity exhibited 10 the public for
years has attracted such general attention
as that wonderful plant at Shannahans Art
gallery, Portland, Oregon. Fully 5000 peo-
pie baye visited the place to look at the bo-
tanical wonder. 1t is said 10 be indigenous
to Japan. It's technical term has not been
ascertained, but it is known, and appropri-
ately 50, as the ''Baby Plant" 1t is of the
genius lily, sometimes attaining a height
of four feet, and blossoming semi-annually.
The one Of which we write is, however.
not more than twelve inches in height, with
leaves about six inches long and two inches
wide. The flower is star-shsped, having
five petals Of handsome brown and yellow
color. The calyx encircles and protects a
tiny little figure that bears an exact re-
semblance to nude baby, its little arms
and legs outstretched and the eyes distinctly
marked. lowering over the diminutiye
form is a small canopy, angel-shaped, hav-
ing extended arms and wings, and peering

Coming For Items.

A few days ago, lady of Salt Lake
City commenced thinking on family eco
Monies, and the more she thought the more
evident ii became that her girl, who had
hitherto done the marketing, was extrava-
giant, grossly extravagant. There was no
reason in the world why few cents should
not be saved each day, and in n few
years, when dark clouds of disaster hover
ed above the horizon, or words to that
effect, nice little sum would be saved for
her and her Johnny tolIve upon. There
was firm determination in her eye when
she announced her rpurpose to hereafter look
after the purchasing Of provisions. She
stalked down the street like women with
fixidity of purpose, and shot into a pop
ular meat shop with the inquiry: Mr.. Nan
nal, what do you sell yoar pigs heads at?"
''Ten cents, Mrs. Blank"
swell, send me one"
''Do you wish large or small one"
"a big one, of course-the biggest you
have, she replied, determined not to be
cheated.
That night when the husband went home
he was dumfounded. Head cheese was
everywhere. No chair could be used for
its purpOse-head cheese on it; refrigerator,
ables' piano, barrels, all had head cheese
on them. The wife had a triumphant air
ing spell, and then explained: Bargain of
mine, Johnny. Bought splendid head
for ten cents from Mr.. Mammal. Didn'tpay
either; told him to send in the bill at
once"
On the following day the bill came The
husbands eyes were like saucers as he
showed his consort the paper,
'Bless me,' she exclaimed. '.What an
old fraud he is, and just won't stand it,
now II made a special bargains of ten cents,
and he has the impudedce to send in his bill
for 50 80. I'll 90 and see him right away
and give him my opinion, now you see if
DON'T"
a few minutes later she was face to face
with the butcher.
''Didn't ! make special bargain with
you yesterday for that pigs head?"
Il don't know, am sure; but if you say
so, | admit it."
''Well, L do; ] bought it for ten cents
''Yes, that's right: that't what we sell
them at. You wanted the biggest one, and
sent one from 1000 pounds, pOrkcr
which weighed ninety five pounds, and at
ten cents pound
''Oh, bother the pounds. said nothing
about pounds ~
''Did you expect 10 get ninety five
pounds OF pork for ten centsi'
''Dol't say anything of this to my hus-
band. Let him pay the ten cents, and I'll
pay the rest"
81 won't replied the butcher, ''but there
is a fellow coming here often for items,
and III tell him"
IF you do. I'll kill you and hin, too,
the wretch ~

Too Great n Temptation.

Some years ago very fine echo was dis
covered on an Englishman's estate. He
was proud of it, of course, and excited
considerable envy by its exhibition. Ole
of his neighbors, who owned an adjoining
estate, felt especially chagrined, but was
greatly encouraged by an Irishman who
went over the lands with the hope of dis
covering one somewhere. He declared
himself successful in fading the most Won
derful echo ever heard, and stood ready to
unfold his secret for large sum of money.
The nOblcman listened to the echo, and al
though there was something peculiar about
it he paid the money. An afternoon was
set Tor his friends TO come and listen TO the
marvellous discovery. ''HullO,' cried in
stentorian tones the Hibernlan who had
promised to find an echo. ''Hullo," came
back from the hillside yonder. SLOW are
youi' yelled one of the company, and echo
answered IN suspiciously different key,
'.IIow are you:' All went well until just
before retiring one of the company, putting
his hands to his mouth, cried out: "Will
YOU have some whisky" Such question
would discover the character of any rea
sOnable echo. 1t was certainly too much
for the one which had been discovered on
that estate. Judge of The surprise of the
party when the answer came back in clear,
affirmative tones; Thank you, sir; | will
if you please The poor fellow, who had
been stationed at distance to supply the
place of an echo, simply submitted to too
great temptation.
