At Detroit last week, on their way eastward from Canada, were married a pair of long tried lovers whose story is made public by the Post of that city. Id 1857 the twain, then living in a village of Ontario county, Michigan, were be trothed for what they hoped to find an early marriage, the young man being a studeut of law while the lady shared a small hereditary estate with her widowed mother and a brother, a planter at the South. What little money there vras in the case appertained to the coming bride, who, with the generosity characteristic of her emotion, counted pleasantly upon the great benefit it should be to the struggling novice at the bar while yet he awaited his first client. The wedding day wa9 appointed, and the preliminary orrange ments were nearly completed, when the news came suddenly from the son and brother of the Southern plantation that he had disastrously failed in a heavy cot ton speculation, aud was not only reduced to temporary baukruptcy. but also involv ed in debts for which his private honor was specially pledged. He wrote to his mother and sister in passiouate distress of mind praying them to help him if they could, or he must be dishonored as well as ruined, and they, without a thought of the selfishness of the demand hesitated not to decide thaj he should freely have their all. The little home estate was sold, and the devoted women sent its whole price to the bankrupt; and the sister, alter joining in this sacrifice, declared to her lover that their engagement for mar riage must not continue. She had con sentcd to the latter in the belief that she could encounter their proposed union with some means of her own to aid in the first struggling years, but now that their mar riage must necessarily be into helpless poverty on both sides, she would not al low herself to become a sheer burden to one whom she loved. Very poor him self, as a law student he certainly was, and mad as it would have been to marry under such circumstances, he protested vehemently against the wiser judgment and lesser selfihe?s of the betrothed, and made elegant use of every argument that youthful romance and excited feeling could inspire at such a time. Rut the girl was fiim. She insisted that no en gagement should exist between them until time had brought brighter fortnucs to one or both and the young man was compelled to yield. As they were unable to help each other as they were then sit uated, -the disengaged lover presently thought it his duty to accept an oppor tunity of professional advancement offered him in Philadelphia, and accordingly came eastward, after a parting like that of death. They were to correspond with each other as the dearest ol friends ; and by this means, while the lawyer was slowly making a place for himself in his distant field of efiort, he was able to learn that the true hearted girl in the western village was earning a livelihood for her mother and eelf by music teachiog. A hope was maintained for sometime by the poor widow and her daughter that their son and brother in the South would yet retrive his fortune and theirs; but the unfortunate speculator in cotton died be fore he could take the first step toward such consummation, and life long poverty was thenceforth to be the fact of the gentle ones who bad impoverished themselves for him. Years are to the poor achieve ment of some common desires, and years rolled away while the law student in the East and the music teacher in the West were toiling to be rich enough to marry. At last the mother died, and with the departure of the bereaved daughter to a tcachership in a female seminary of Cauada the letters to Philadelphia abruptly ceased. The girl despaired of the future for herself aud her correspon dence now. In her filial grief and long discouragement she believed he would never be rich enough to marry a poor woman like herself, and resolved that he should be left eutirely free thenceforth to seek fortune in marriage. The mood was one not wholly unknown even to unheroic natures, and she indulged it uutil he whom she thought to benefit was half mad with the couviction that she had deliberately discarded his friendship as well as his hand. In vain he wrote to her at her old home, for some explanation of her silence. His letters were returned unopened, with a note from some old friend that Miss had left Ontario im mediately after her mother's death, with out gWiug ber future address to any one. Then came for the young man a term of profound dejection; and then a fierce energy to hide aud blunt his injury in uncompromising battle for sordid prire. Many a grand worldly comes from the desperation of despair, and the hero of the present etory arose from his misery to strike conquering blows for himself. Three months ago, as a member of a highly prosperous legal firm of Philadel phia, he had occasion to advertise for female c-pyists. After the demand had been supplied there came an application from somewhere in Cauada. saying that the writer had seen an advertisement in an American piper, and asking if the pa pers to be copied would not be sent to the apolicaut by mail, and then returned by her with her copy. She was a teacher aud could not leave her place, but wished to increase her income by some kind of writin". The lawyer recognized the old hand 'which bad been bo- kiud and so cruel to him years before, and iu return he merely sent the last letter he had re ceived from Michigan, with the inscrip lion, ,lCopy this." As the end of the story is already told, according to the in artistic fashiou of newspaper romance, it is useless to dilate upon the easily guess ed circumstances leading to it. Of course the Canada teacher wrete timidly, again to express the happiness she felt ; in the prosperity of her former lover, and the hope she had that he might yet appreciate her past action. Of course he wrote again, then, to know why he had been so cruelly abandoned to himself at last, and bf course there was an answer to that. In short, after fifteen years of separation and apparent alienation, the mature man of nearly forty and the maiden of not quite so many summers found that they were rich enough at least to resume their old relation. So as the Detroit Fust goes on to tell, the lovers met again last week by arrangement at the house of a ' friend on Lewis street in that city, and, going from thence in traveling array to the . residence of Rish op McUlosky, were married happily at last. Their weddiug journey was to Philadelphia, where the bridegroom bad prepared a luxurious home for the recep tion of his bride, and there, very likely, they are enjoying a honeymoon worthy of hearts so tried and true. , Not very exciting nor dramatic was their story, to be sure, yet it involves enough of the truest heroism of common life enough of fine womanliness and hearty, whole some manhood to make it worth a second telling. Interests that are Common Property. On the 14th day of the past month the Cambria Iron Works, the largest of any in the United States, or probably in the world, at Johnstown, in this State, were leveled to the ground in a few hours by fire. They were so extensive and busy that they employed, when in full opera tion, nearly three thousand hands, and the wages received by the wcrkingmcn fed, probably, fifteen thousand people. The machinery used was of such an ex pensive character and the building had cost so much money that it was extremely doubtful that either would be replaced. The prospect for the fifteen thousand men, women and children dependent for bread upon the continued operation of the work was peculiarly gloomy ; they were at the very beginning of the winter season with out a chance of work or food. These were the workingmen ; as for the capi talists who owned the wrcat mill?, they were practically uninsured, and financial ly were ruined. There were but two things for em ployees to do either to accept the ruin, or, by instataueous unanimity of action to overcome it. For there wa3 recognized the fact that capitalists and workingmen have interests that are identical. 'Refore the mills were cold, before the smoke had cleared away from the works, the em ployees gathered tagetber and offered to rebuild the destroyed shops without the offer of one cent of reward. Inspired with hope and energy by conduct so generous, and sympathy so sincere, the owner hurried East, and being supplied at once with cars by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and with machinery and engines by Messrs. Sellers & Co., and Matthew Raird & Co, . they announced that withia one week from the. day of fire they would resume operatioosatthe works. The men, working for nothing, worked with a will. The employers, anxious to reward such devotion to a common in terest, left nothiug undone to set the vast concern in motion. In one week, that is on the 21st ult., the great buildings, with the ground still warm under them, were rebuilt and restocked with the neces sary machinery. Last Saturday the em ployees received their urst week s wages, and their families, representing, a whole city full of people, will not dread the wolf at their doors, or hunger and cold upon their hearths as they face the wiuter of the Allcghenies. If these three thousand workingmeD, instead of doing as they did do when they saw their employer's- property a mere wreck, had folded their hands in idleness, and said, "We will not work unless the last ceut of the schedule prices are paid us," the mills would possibly never have been rebuilt, and the men and their families would have suffered more hard ships than would be pleasant for them to think about. The capitalists were com pelled to accept the service rendered them by their men by reason of their great losses, but there was nothing to compel the men to render it. It was a wise thing, as well as a genrous one, for them to re solve to do, but it was uot a bit accoring to schedule rules. We think it just possible that this case of good-will between capital and labor, may, in its admirable results, suggest that the existence of such a feclipg and a per sistent cultivation of it, may ba even bet ter than schedule rules; that there may bo occsions when such rules are singularly inoperative and fail altogether to work for I he best good of those who make them. No man, nor set of men can make arbitrary laws against another man or another 6et of rneiT which under all circumstances, if vigorously executed, will not plague their inventor. There are cotumoa ipterests between all men and they arc nowhere so common as between the capitalist and the wotkiugman. If the Cambria fire and its results show nothing else they show this.- .''j'fVtr. The Power to Seize Property for School Purposes Important Decision. In the Supreme Court, Judge Agnew delivered the opinion of the court in the case of Francis J. Ferree vs. the School Directors of the Sixth ward, Allegheny, in which the judgment of the court be low was affirmed. This was a writ of er ror to the Court of Common Pleas of this country, and the action was brought to determine whether school directors have : the. right to enter upon improved proper ty for school purposes. Ferree owned a dwelling house adjoining the school pro perty in the Sixth ward, and the board having failed to negotiate with the owner for it had viewers appointed, and then took possession oT it for sehool purposes. The case was brought in the Court of common Pleas to recover the property, and a verdict for defendents was render ed. The case was then carried up to the Supreme Court. The opinion of Judge Agnew was as follows: "In the case of Rrockct vs. Ohio and Pennsylvania railroad company, 2d Har ris, 241, it was held that the right of a railroad company to enter upon and ap propriate land for the use of its road in cludes the right to remove a dwelling house. The act of the 9th of April, 1867, Purdon by Rrightly, 1452, pi. 1, uses the word 'ground' in the first part of the sec tion as synonymous with land, the word used in all other parts of the section as such land and said land. To confine the word land or ground to such only as is bare of buildings, would render the act often inoperative in closely built towns and cities. We see to reason, therefore, to exclude from the power of the school directors the authority to enter upon and occupy improved lots. Nor do we think that the ownership by the school district of an adjoining lot, will prevent the di rectors from taking, in addition thereto? so much ground as is nessary for the eligible sites for school houses referred to in the act ; where (as here) both the pro perties together do not exceed the quanti ty allowed by the act for such purposes.' Judgment affirmed. Pittshnryh Gaz. A Novel Way to Get Rid of Corns. A corspondent sends the following to the Raitlmore American. Corned brains and corned feet are offensive to the com munity as well as hurtful to the indivi dual. Many however totter along our streets without grog shop aid, or high heeled shoes. Modes of cure are numer ous, and feet doctors make a living by their inventions. Cutting with a knife is dangerous, as it cannot be so carefully guided, and provokes the evel it would destroy.: Outward application often fails, because the hard flesh is only softened and Dot removed. It is only hindered in its pressure for a time. Here is a tried remedy: Go to your hardware merchant and purchase a rat tail file a fine one as long as such ani mal's tail. He will understand and hand you the article. Wherever there may be callosities on your body rub them down, only stopping when the under flesh be comes sensitive. If necessary continue this ' frequently until a healthy state of the place affected commences. If you eee fit to promote more rapidly the growth of good flesh, rub with oil. Rut remove the latter before filling, as the drier the surface the more operative the file. No other application is necessary, except wheu the callosity is removed and the cuticle is sound underneath, reduce what uail. may remain of the corn with the Cnger What are called "Japanese files" are sold for the same purpose, but they are rough and injurious, at least inferior to the common rat tail file. ' Certificate The writer has used, the file more than one year, and removed every bit of hard flesh on face, foot and hand. He has do pain in walking." ' ' Worth Knowing. One pound of green copperas, costing seven cents, dissolved in one quart of water, and poured down a water closet, will effectually concentrate and destroy the foulest smells. In fish markets, slaughter houses, sinks, and wherever there are putrid gases, dissolve copperas and sprinkle it about, and in a few days the smell will pa68 away. If a cat, rat or mouse dies about the house, aud 6cnds forth an offensive gas, place some dissolv ed copperas in sn open vessel near the place where the nuisance is, and it will purify the atmosphere. MAN'S AGE. Professor Faraday believed in Flourin's physiological theory that the age of man is one hundred years. The duration of life, he say?, is to be measured by the time of growth. When once the bones and epiphysis are united, the body grows no more, and it is at twenty years this union is affected in man. In the camel it takes place at eight, in the horse at five, in the lion at four, in the dog at two, in the rabbit at one. The natural termination of life is five times that of the development period. Man being twenty years in growing, lives five time twenty years, that is to say, one hun drcd years; the camel is eight years in growing, aud lives forty years ; the horse is five years in growing and lives twenty- five years and so on with other animals. The man who docs not die from disease lives from eighty to a hundred years Previdence has given man a century of life, but he does not attain it because he inherits disease, eats unwholesome food, gives liceuse to his passions, and permits vexation to disturb bis healthy equipoise ; he does not die, he kills himself. Life may be divided into two equal halves growth and decline, and these into infancy, youth, vitarlity and age. In fancy extends to the twentieth year, youty to the fiftieth because it is duriug this peiiod that the tissue becomes firm ; virility from fifty to seventy-five, during which the organism remains complete ; and at seventy five old age commences, to last a long or short time, as the dimiuu tion of reserved forces is hastened or re tarded. Curious Inventions. Among the inventions for which patents have recently been obtainad in the Uni ted States are the following. A device for attaching buttons to clothing with a screw-driver ; an attachment to pianos so that the strings may be touched mid length by a pedal movement, and sounds similar to a violin or guitar obtained ; a child's carriage, so arranged when the handles are dropped a pawl stops the wheels and arrests motion at once, and when grasped the pawl is released ; a pen cil-sharpener that also operates as a hand le for stumps of lead pencils; breastpins aud earrings, with tubes to hold artificial flowers ; an apparatus for drawing on boots, consisting of a strap passing around the body below the waist, having at each end a hook to engage the boot-tugs ; a medical compound for the small pox, composed of saltpetre, gum camphor and charcoal ; a bouquet holder of soft metal, that, after filling with flowers and water, may be closed at the top ; a lady's comb, passed into the back hair in the usual manner and the leaves allowed to overlap and press upon the chignon, a spring serving not only to retaiti the ornament in place, but the chignon also; u head light for locomotives, with an adjustable number placed in front of the light, and also with a movable colored screen to be operated by the engineer; a toy bank, in which an automaton banker stands to re ceive money, and, when a spriug is dis engaged, he turns round, the door is shut, aud the money is deposited in the back part of the bank. Location of Orchards. At the June meeting of the Kansas State Horticultural Society, the following remarks made upon the most sutiable location for an orchard, we deem of so much importance that we give them a place in our columns : ''The location of orchards beiug next in order, was very thoroughly discussed, resulting in favor of the highest land, Mr. Rishop stated that he had a high hill which has not failed him since 185G, where even the most tender peaches aud pears have uniformly bore good crops and never blighted in the least, while on the low land the fruit was often a failure. Dr. Staymau, who has both a high and low orchard, stated that he planted on the low land in 18G0 and on high in 1S67 and 18CS, about the same number of trees and the same varieties, yet he never raised one good crop on the low land, while he has raised three good crops on the high, th last year's crop being over one hun dred dollars per acre. The same dif fercuce exists this season in favor of the high orchard, yet planted seven and eiuht years later. Rut to have the full bene fit of high land there should be deep val leys or raviues ia close proximity." A Valuable Drug. Quinine now commands three dollars per ounce, and is one of the most useful in the entire list of manufactured drugs. For the information of the trade, says ther New York Commerical Rulletio, recently there has been an effort on the part of prominent medical aud scientific men to induce Congress to set apart a suitable. position of the public domain for the pur pose of cultivating and growing the cin chona tree, from which the useful and al most indispenable artiele of quinine is produced. This tree is a native of South America, and is found to grow only oo lite Audes, above what was termed the cloud line of those high and majestic- peaks, and usually in greater quantity and better quality north of the equator ial hoe ; hence, for its cultivation in the United States, the Sierra Nevada range of mountains, in California, have been selected by the parties who urge the trial of its cultivation in this country as being the mountains most closely resembling the Andes io soil and climate. There can be no doubt of success of the cultiva tion if the ciuchona tree is properly un? dertakenand attended to, as the results of similar experiments by the English, government in the Himalayas of Iudia fully attest. It is the duty of every man to do all ia his power to advance the interests and prosperity of the community in which he lives. Y"et there are a great many per sons who seem to have no idea of exert ing an influence beyond the depths of their individual pockets. If they have by chance or industry, or any other way, secured a large portion of this world's goods, their whole desire seems to be to geta little more. They want just an other tract of rao-d which- joias them ; an other corner lot which will be very valu able some day ; another house to- rent or a few more shares of bank stock. The general interest they never think of, and the active use of their accumulated wealth for the public advancement has never en tered the narrow portals of their brain. Their money is locked up, drawing inter est, or if perchance, put into active use, is done so in such a manner, and guarded by so many restrictions, that they tre not subject to the causualities of business, but come on all occasions for the lioa'a share. A case of rather troublesome exact ness on the part of a Down-East lady is reported. A woman called at a grocery store recently and made some purchases, paying cash therefore. An hour after ward she returned in some- agtitatioa, and inquired, if a pocket book had beea seen ; she bad lost hers and hoped they found it. Nothing had been seen, of it, and a search was instituted, when the lost article was found behiud a barrel ia front of the counter. Another half hour pass ed, aud again she appeared, this time ask ing if any one had tampered with her pocket-book whileat the store, as the money was not all there. "How much is missing?" inquired tho trader. "One cent," was the reply. "Here John, said the storekeeper, "give this lady one cent from the draw er." She took it and went on her way re joicing. Later : Next day, we under stand the woman bought a cent's worth of hairpins the day before, and forgot it when she missed tho pocket book. ' Well, now, here is a religions sect sprung up in Loudoo, which, if it con tinues and increases, will certainly make some noise in the world. The real name of it has not jet been reported to U9, but the ungodly style it "The Howling Re pentants" The main business of the votaries is to howl. At stated periods during the day they elevate their voices, and twice during the night they get out of bed and howl. Divine service they conduct in the open air probably for fear of bringing down the roof. We mourn to say that the police are hard upon these devotees, and do often conduct them to the station-houses, where if they go on with the exercises, they are pro bably gagged. Fx. There appears to be a complete revolu tion going on among the Shakers and a fplit among their eighteen rich societies is imminent. The marriage question has a last assumed such importance among ihe younger branches of the community, particularly at Mount Morris, N. Y.,tbat it is not improbable a general division will shortly take place between those who fa vor and those who are opposed to matrimony.
