William I)riinim-ini, the poet, wooed and won Mis Cunningham, a beautiful and accomplished young lady, who died vkheii tla wedding day was fixed. This melancholy event so overwhelmed the pot t tvilh grief that he never ceased to pour fresh tears over her grave. At least foi many years alter ihe death of Miss Cunningham, life seemed to linnn niond "a naught, a thought, a masquer ade if dream.-." He lived in a state of celibacy till the age of forty-seven, when he married F.Iizabeth Logan, a lady in whom l.e traced many strong rvsem iilauf' S 10 her whom he firt loved and by whom he was so greatly charmed. A gentleman in Nottingham, looking from his window one day. saw a lady pass who very much resembled his late wife.

There scarcely passed a d.iy but sonie ac cident or discourse still kept aiive and strengthened his w ish to see her. Once in company at a gentleman's house, a certain song was sung which was said to have been written by Miss Apsiey, who, by the way was greatly praised b two or three gentlemen in the party. He (Mr. Hutchinson; heard all this, and said to one of the gentlemen : "1 cannot be at rest till this lady's return, that I ma be acquainted v.iihher."

Joseph Hall, Bishop of Nor wicli. and author of "Contemplations on ! the eld and New Tes'amen," obtained 1 a wife in a very singular manner. In walking from the church one W hit-Monday with a grave and reverend minister of the name of Grand idgo, he saw a comely, molest gentlewoman standing at the door of a house where they were invited to a wedding dinner. Mr. Hall !i).ntis(..! Mf frieia! w! "r'.V" f-c Vre'v lur. "Yes," said Mr. ( Irantlidge, '"I know her well, and I have bestoke her for your w ife.

Air.

On j this motion Mr. Hall acted. He spoke : the necessary words, and at last, with j due prosecution, happily prevailed, en- j joying the society of that charming hel'w ! mate for the space of forty-five years. j A minister offered his hand to a young j lady and was accepted ; this was in the . month of June. The lovers parted, and : never saw or heard of each other till the i following January, when the young lady : was visiting at the house of a friend. In . the lesson at morning prayers the follow- ; ing passage occurred : "'He that lie- ; lieveth shall not make haste," which j greatly impressed and preplexedthe mind of the young lady. She inquired anxi- I ously of her hostess what the passage ! meant. The hostess attempted a little j exposition ; that the meaning was that where there was faith in a ierson, in his , promise Im engagement, there would lie no fretfulm-ss. or irritation, or fear, or anxious wish to speed on the fulfillment of the promise. Whilst they were con ducting the conversation they heard the post man's knock. ami the servant brought a letter for the young lady, which, when opened, she found was from her long silent lover; and. strangely enough, the sentence was; "He that believet li Khali not make haste."

The likness was at last finished, and pronounced by com petent judges as perfect.

Hints to Haiiavay Pahsf.noers. When you get to the station hunt up . the agent and ask him what time the next train goes. Never mind about telling which way, for he can ask you that. It will show whether he is paying i any attention to your question. Then 1 ask him what time all the other trains j come, just to see if he knows. If yon think of it. ask him if they stop, if they are freight or passenger, and any other little things you can think of, for you know he gets paid for answering ques tions. It don't matter whether you in- j tend riding on the train or not. If you are tired go and sit down, but do not rest longer than necessary, for you have not inquired if the road is goimr to ; change time soon, and what jtiine the train will likely get through on the new ; card. Ask him what time the trains, run by on this road and how much fast- I er that is than Chicago time, for he : knows, and if he does not tell it is be- j can e he is uncivil. Jut as the train i. j coming, and the agent is closing the ; ticket window to go out to the train, : rush up and tell him ton want a ticket. ' Don't say anything about where you : want to go. See how near he can guess : it. Give him a ?10 bill and after he has hurried up to get out his change Imit, if tle-re is any silver among it, say to him : "Here, T guess I have got the change," for this is the way to lind out his dispo sition.

John Boone, an employe of Gebhart's : flour mills, in the eastern part of Dayton, , Ohio, was caught in the shafting of the machinery and narrowly escaped with , his life. His clothing locaine wrapped about the shafting so tightly that when he discovered the fact he could not ex tricate himself. He is a man weighing two hundred pounds and of great strength. Throwing one arm around a beam near at hand he endeavored to pull the shafting out of gear or tear himself from it. He succeeded in springing it from the socket s. but n la-. king up it sprang back. Boone held the shafting ' in this position for fully fifteen minutes, : when, obliged to give up from exhaus tion, he was drawn upon the shaft, his clothes fortunately giving way. They were torn completely from his body. i He succeeded hi getting to a lower tloor of the building, w here he fell from sheer exhaustion, and was discovered shortly after by those who had heard his cries, lie was al once placed under medical care. i Tiik First White Man ov Ameri can Soil.

THE INVOLUNTARY DESERTER. AN INCIDENT OF THE LATE EF.BELLION A SOLDIER WHO DIDN'T TS TND TO DESERT. In the terrible slaughter of the battle of Fredericksburg, Va., December 12, 1SG2, Lieutenant I' . of the 95th Pennsylvania Volunteers, was danger ously wounded through both thighs, and undoubtedly would have perished on the field hail it not been for Corporal C , of his company, who in the retreat stum bled upon him and carried him oil. That was the last duty Lieutenant P did, and in March, lHtj4, we find him at the Iafayette square garrison, in Baltimore. CoriHral V subsequently took part in all engagements in which his regi ment was concerned, and stood high in the estimation of his superiors for valor and faithfulness up to the battle of Get tysburg. " After the battle of Gettysburg in July, ls;:, the regiment to which Corporal C In-longed encamped one evening within sight of the home of his family, which he had not seen for nearly three years. From where they lav he could see the glinting of the light in the win dow lieyond which were his wife and little ones. With throbbing heart he acknowledged to himself that the temp tation was too great. "What," he said, "if 1 slip down there for an hour or tw o. surprise them, and return before the i break of day ready in my place to move with the command, who will be the wiser for it?" He then followed the promptings of his heart. Who shall measure the rapidity with which the hours went by duringthat gladsome sur prise to all which, next to his country, was dear to him ? Returning in the early morn. Corporal C , to his horror, found that the col umn had moved forward during his ab sence. He hurried on to overtake it, j "with full consciousness of the terrible ; consequences that came to all deserters j and ot the fact that the truth even plainly stated, would avail him little, i under the then strict rrginit, as an ex- ' cuse for his absence if he did not Micceed ) in rejoining his company. He never ! slackened his "double quick" until the ford at Williamsjiort was reached. At that point his hope gave way to despair. The eolumn had crotscd into Maryland, two hours 1-efore. A strong provost guard had been stationed at the ford with strict orders to arrest all stragglers or deserters. A prisoner then, and with the instances of dreadful punishment that had been inflicted upon deserters fresh in mind, he decided to desert in fact from the provost guard snd take hi chances of finally reaching his company rather than to run the risk of a trial by a Court , Martial. He failed to reach his command, and, ; taking to the woods by long journej-ings at night and hiding by day, he finally reached the city of Frederick, Md. i There he lost no time in re-enlist ing un- j der an assumed name as a recruit, hoping ' by keeping constantly in the service to escape detection and arrest. j Proceeding again to the front in the Tenth Maryland Regiment, Corporal C served faithfully, was twice ' wounded, and received an honorable dis charge in March, 1So4. j Upon lie ing discharged from the Tenth Maryland, still hoping to conceal his identity, he immediately re-enli'ted as a ' recruit with Captain Cole, the Provost Marshal at Frederick, and was sent on : with a squad of men to the draft ren dezvous at Lafayette square, Baltimore. i Lieutenant P was officer of the I day when the squad reached the rendei- vous. It was a part of his duty as such to remain at the main entrance to the camp for the purpose of scanning the re- emits as they arrived and were drawn 1 up in line in front of the guard quarters. It was late in the evening. Lieuten ant P came to the Adjutant's office, hi face wearing almost a deathly pallor. "Adjutant." he said. "I have just dis covered a deserter from my old company, lie saved my life by carrying me off th field at Fredericksburg. I wish I had not seen him. " A short time after the Lieutenant's statement the recruits were marched to the Adjutant's office to have their names and pedigree recorded. The name of Cyrus T was called. The man rose up calmly and passed his discharge pa pers from former service to the Adjutant. They were certified by a captain of the Tenth Maryland and indorsed by the mustering officer 'character excellent.' Lieutenant P , extending his hand to the recruit said, "Corporal C .how are you ?" The unwilling deserter did not ac knowledge that he was recognized by the movement of a muscle. Staring coldly at the Lieutenant he replied, "Sir, you have the advantage. I do not re member ever having seen you before." "Oh! yes you have," answered the Lieutenant. "Charley, don't try to de ceive me. You brought me from the field at Fredericksburg, saved my life when you were a memler of my company, and you deserted from the company." "You have made a mistake, sir, you have." He stopwd a moment and then continued : "It is no use. I am Cor- poral C , but I am no deserter at ; heart. I have been in ronatant service," j and he sank into a chair. Tears choked the utterance of the j Lieutenant as, wavering between duty i and gratitude, he a1d : "Corporal, I would gladly change places with you j ; now, but you are a prisoner." ' The shock unnerved the war-worn and . i weather-lieaten Corporal, and for several ' i weeks he was prostrated with a raging : ! fever. A prisoner, in fact, but allowed : to accept th hospitality of the Lieuten- ; ant's more comfortable quarters, where, i ; his story becoming known, he received : ; every kindness that could be command- j ed. Meantime strenuous efforts were j : made to remove the charge of desert ion : against him, which had l-en carried on i ' the company's rolls until he was finally ; ; rejiirted tothe Provost Marshal General : ' and dropped from them. ' ; The "red tae" of the War Depart- ' ; ment prevented his reinstatement in ; !"time, and Corjral C was sent tothe ! ! front as "a deserter." Strong papers I relating the circumstances more minute- ly than can be done in this narrative ac- ' companiod him. He was tried and sen- ! fenced to lie shot, but through the never ! ceasing efforts of the officer whose life he had saved, seconded by the efforts of General Ingraham. tiien I'rovost .tiar shal of the tlefences north of the Poto mac, he was reprieved by President Lin coln. Ho was subsequently killed in a charge upon the enemy's works at Pe tersburg, Va.

The Allentowu Chrrnir?e in an idle moment relates the following li ke ly story : A joke is told on a certain gentleman which is too good to be lost. Our friend. whosh:;ll be nameless, purchased a psir of parts a few days ago. which, on being tried on at home, he found to be too long. That night he re marked to his wife tlmt he wished her to take about an inch from each leg, which would make them the desired length. Being fond, as a good many wives are. of teasing her husband, she told" him "flat forded'' that she shouldn't do Anything of the kind, and he retired finally, without having obtained a promise from her that she would attend to the matter. Soon after he had left for his room, however, she. as s matt.T of course, clipped off the superfluous itch as she had been asked to do. '1 be family is composed of six female members, including the "good woman," and it chanced that each one of lh five, who were In a.ijo'iiltig rooms, including the mother of our friend, heard the di--pute between man and wife about the pants, and after the latter had taken off the required inch and retired, the old lady, desiring to "keep peace in the family." arid not know ing what her daughter-in-law tiad done, cau tiously slipped Into the room and cut oft an other inch. In this way did each of the five ladies, nn known to the others, and all with the praise worthy object of preventing any misunder standing between the married couple, clip an inch from thelegof the gentlemen's trousers. The following morning, ail iineonsej.,us of what had taken place during the night, he rolled up his pants in a piece of paper and took them to the tailor to be shortened to the desired length. I'pon a hasty glance, the latter ventured the opinion that they were aiready rather short : but the owner was too well posted on that score and insisted th.it they were fully an inch too long. The t:tilor had no more to sav. and our friend retired. On the following Saturday he called for the pants and took them home, and the next morning when he came to put himself inside of them, he was supremely disguste.1 at find ing that the legs Teached only n trifle below the knees. In other words.'they had been altered to the fashion of a century ago, when knee-breeches were in v.g'.m. He straight way accused the tailor of having ruined his r ants, and his indignation was expressed in language anything but mild. His w ife heard him and came to the rescue of the knight of the shears, explaining that she had taken an inch from each of the logs, ami her acknow ledgment was follower! by that ff each of i the other five ladies, when it was discovered that altogether the legs had aetuaiiy Ixs-n i shortened to the ext'-nt of seven iuchex. A Very Sad Cask. A woman in Netada has applied for a divorce upon the ground that she has received absolutely n -thing from her husband since their marriage but a I lw,v ,,f imir-i ins. Wc have not a very inti- mate aciiunintance with lac laws of Nevada, I but really it seems to us this is sufficient grounds for a divorce. A woman who is dressed the whole of her married life in nothing but hair-pins natur- alio could not get into society tery often. and she mast suffer a grcpt deal in cold weather. We shuiild think a man w ho would not buy a more extensive wardrolM- than this for his wife must Is- exceedingly mean. Hair-pins are bci oining enough, so far ns they n-; but t- v.car no'hiug i-'so well, it is THE FINEST EXIIU'.IT AT TIIE TIKIS EXPOSITION. An interesting feature of a uuml-r of the foreign sections at the Paris Exhibi tion was the soldiers who had lss-n sent there by their resjx-ctive governments, nominally to guard the exhibits, though principally"1 a sort of ornament, tin y ls-ing simply required to stand round and le hxiked at by curioMt ; -se. k ing visitors. Some economical government . thinking that wooden soldiers would answer the same pu!jse at a less -ene. accordingly displayed figur s r p resenting soldiers in the tarioii- uni forms, and peopl" in the various cos tumes of the country. These f.gnivs w ere soiuet imes quite well made and were placed in such osit ions as .f t u to apju-ar veiy life-like.
