gun and said : 'Como quick no kill

Cowan was lying, with my Bister on

said : 'r rank,' lor (rod s sake, get me

OF HALF a VEXTUHY.
Upwards of filly years ago thoro
lived a young Bwain poxscsaing the
patronymic of (ioorgo W. (iillespic,
generally known and called by the
plcooian appellation ol "Wash. In
his whilom tergiversations he boon mo
tangled up in the affections of Miss
Annie Wilson, ot lluth, wbo in her
pristine days was a rural lass of no
grovelling presence. They wero wont
to congregate under tho umbrageous
shrubbery of old man Wilnon and ex
change thoso soul-inspiring words and
glances which only the juvenile tillers
ol tno soil can enjoy, till (ioorgo lotind
himsclt engaged and the rtnv named.
But trivial troubles arose which seem
ed mountains in George's eyes, and in
a fitol disappointment ho pulled stakes
and sought a habitation in tho West.
As time elapsed his passion for the fair
Annie sunit'ieriiiy paied to aumu oi
bis affections being centerud upon su
it her, whom he married, and reared a
f'umily ol eleven children, all of whom
are now married, having long since
abandoned tho parental heurth Two
years since Mrs. (Jillespie died, and
tho lonely widower began to rovolve
in bis cruniological lottery wheel a few
schemes to get a wilo, when tho quon
dam applo of his eye was presented,
and no unanimously adopted a resolu
tion to return to his first love in Bath.
He found her enjoying the isolated
lot of an old maid, and told her bo
didn't mean anything by it, and asked
it she was still angry, nno said she
felt a little miffed at first, but had part-
y gotten over it. It was not long till
o lad succeeded in reinstating him
self in that enviable place In bor heart
which only ho had ever hold, and the
sparks of affection that had smoulder
el in Lor dovotod bosom for moro than
half a century were rekindled.
Tho two lovors visited tho fans lair
in company, and, while there called
on Clerk Patton to obtain tbo requi
site mar'riago documents, which were
issued by this urbane gentleman, alter
propor inquiry as to their ages. 1 hey
then sought the smiling countenance
ol Judgo Turney, and woio wodded
1 hey spent several hours at tbo lair,
and in tbo evening took tho train for
Cincinnati to enjoy tho sweets ol a
wedding tour. Hemming to Carlisle,
they were met al tho train by that
kind-hearted gentleman, (ieorga W.
Bramhletlo, and conveyed to his neul

Anciont history affords numerous
examples ot tins sudden and fatal ef
fect of joy. It is recorded of Chilo, a
spartan philosopher, one ot the seven
wiso men of Greece, Hint on seeing his
son obtain a victory at Olympia, he
leu overjoyed into uu arms, and im
mediately expired. "Excossivo and
sudden joy," Bays Holler, "often kills,
by increasing tho motion ol tho blood,
and exciting a truo apoplexy."
A case in illustration of this remark
is detailed by an eminent physician.
A gentleman wbo had consented to be
nominated one ot ths executors in the
will ot an elderly person of considera
ble property with whom ho was ac
quainted, received a Tew years altcr
wards, and at a timo when his own in
come was but limited, the unexpected

had left him sola exooutor, together
with all his prorerty, amounting to

While the distance surveyed is about

owing to the intervening high moun

tho engineers received great aid from

greatest this country has over gather
ed, it amounts in round numbers to

H44.14H.300 bushels. Compared with
last year tho wheat product shows an
increase of 311,000,000 bushels. Jt ia
diflicult to express tho value of tho
present crop in dollars. At Iho sea

may be roughly set down at 1 100.000,.

rassment of riches but for the fortun
ato coincidence of a sbort harvest in

exports for the time specified exceed
llioso lor Iho corresponding period of
lust year by 7,580,237 bushels. Al the
sunte time there was a fulling off in our
corn exports of 1,033,054, but this is
oxpluinublo by tbo fact that tbo fall
movement in corn does not begin until
somo weeks after wheat has commenc
ed to flow freely toward tho seaboard.
The immenso increase in our wheat
exports furnishes a solution to the ex
traordinary drainage of gold from tho

ment. Now it is impossible tbat this
sudden and vast addition to tho wealth
ol the country will not permunently
iidvanluge trade and business of every
kind. The basis of ull prosperity is
the prosperity of tbo furmor; when
nature is bountiful to bim the wholo
country shares in bis good fortune ;
when she is niggard, his loss become
the poverty of the nation. Wo havo
already experienced the first symptoms
of reviving trade, but tbo real, tho
tangible, tho natural increase will not
como until tho crops of 1877 have ail
been marketed. It is fair to expect
that tho spring of 1878 will witness
the renewal of uctivity in ovory brunch
of industry. Let us bo grateful for
this assurance of better times fust com
ing on ; coming on in spite of tho strik
ers, who would have postponed them
indctihitcly, and while the fierce suns
of J uly were ripening this same gofden
harvest, would have laid waste thu only
highways by which it could bo trans

were planned by Louis 1'hilippo and

and now, when substantially the sumo
results are to bo brought about by tbo

euro much about it ono way or anoth

so indifferent to tho arrangement.
They may not bo apprehensive of any
political complications, but they havo
their prejudices, which are, with thorn,
sufficient motives. Tho Duo do Mont-
