young latlyjreceived ti templing pro- ,
postil Ironi it wcallhv suitor, Ihe pater-1
iiiil influence soon effected a marriage I
Ic.-pite the f rmcr engagement. In ;
less than three months her hotdiuud :
wus killed bv a kick from a horse. ',
Uohcrt wus for a second time then a '
suitor, but delayed the importunt qucs- '
tint) until httceti months had clupt-ed,
when, to his horror, she informed 1 1 1 1 11
that she was engaged. In three j
months thereafter she was married,
Two years elapsed, when ihe married
couple removed to Syracuse, IS. 1 .,
where, milling the victims ot the chol-
era, when the pestilence swept that
city, us Ihesecoud husband. Iwobert
again sought her hand, ami when a
year hud elapsed, was oh the mini of
making a declaration, when In! he re
ceive! aw invitation to her wedding.
Her late husband's business was found
in such a state that to avoid immense
losees, she married the surviving part
ner. Shortly after, she removed with
her third husband to Detroit, Mich.
A few years elapsed, when herself and
hvslmud were mi a steamer that was
wrecked near Bulla I o. The husband
perished, mid the wife escaped solely
through the exertions of a friend who
was on board, ills gallantry inspired
such sentiments ill her breast that she ;
married her brave preserver a few
months alter her third widowhood. '
The happy pair removed tn Pittsburgh
where her husband was engage I iu
nercantile business. Thither Ilobcrt,
still cherishing his first love, followed
them. One day as he was passing the
husband's store he saw a terrible com-
motion. Hushing in, he beheld the
mangled corpse id' that geiiilcmuti on
the floor. A tieree of rice, iu being
hoisted to an upper floor, hud falleii
through the traps, killing him instant
ly. Anxiously Kobert inquired if any
one hud been sent to inform bis wile,
and was told that the book-keeper had
just gone. Hebei t started for Alleghe
ny city, where the deceased lad resid
ed, at tlio lop id his speed. The book
keeper wut just ahead of him, and.
from past experience, knowing the
virtue ol prompt action, mid aiinrt
bending that the clerk hud designs on
the widow, he ran for dear lite, side by
side. The race continued until they

house of the widow first. Robert told
the heart-rending news, and in the
same breath mude u proposal of mar
riage. He was uecepted. ' True to her
promise, after a year of mourning, she
became his wife. As all her husbands
bad died wealthy, Robert was comfort
ably fixed tiller all. This case is a re
markable example of what pluck and
M'rseverunce will do for a man, while
ul the same time it teaches a lesson on
the dang r of delay.

A Cruel Deception. I
A little while. aj;o there was a futi
ry fair ut JJnisel. The olijcct was 11
charily, and the ladies who kept the
stalls did some things which Indies us
a rule uvoid doing. It is supposed, 01
course, that the poor might not to be
deprived of 111011c y thut cun he got by
tiny menus not involving positive im
propriety. In this way kis-ses huvc
been sold ut fairs, Htid in this way at
.Brussels 11 la''y sold, or wan snppo.eii
to have iold, part of har beautiful
tresses. A geiiilemaii passing her stall
was greatly iitttracted by the lair sales
woman's charms, and gallantly de
manded to know the price ut' one of
the locks hanging from her chignon.
Is'ow the lady has u husband, ttpd,
thinking it riyrlit to eoni:lt hiitioiilhr
subject, sue tntiiiagen to postpone me
ncgotinttoti until the next Hay. tin
husband said money for tin poor otighl
not to he turned uwav, hut with pion
fraud, his hair being like his wife's,
light brown, he cut. u lock from hi-
own head utnl gave it to her. Next
day the enamored purchaser received
this lock, huh paid an extremely high
price tor it.
.So far, all was well, hut tho happy
couple were subsequently ..indiscreet.
They Ponhl not resist whispering the
'delicate secret to just one ir two
amused Incmls. I recently thedcceiv-
ed ml 111 1 re r heard that lie bad been
dupeil.iindwas being very much laughed
at. His displeasure has now exprosrd
itself iu a very disilgreeahle manner.
Iu Belgium, deceit in quality or nature
of any article sold for money exposes
the vendors to very severe punishment.
The gillant Belgian, who seems us
warm and vigorous iu fighting us in
loving, has Hctually summoned both
husband and wile into court, and they
will be compel let! to swear whether
the hair sold was nut the genuine .irti
fie the lady professed it to be. Tne
nll'iir is producinga livelv 'excitement,
and the trial, which was ju.-t about to
oegtn, ai last accounts, win oeeageriv
watched. " Undoubtedly the deluded
purchaser, like till who come to griel
through the tender passion, deserves 11
certain share nf sympathy, but, really,
a man who could have the lolly in
believe in the genuineness of any hair
depending from a chignon iu these
1 days, will be none the worse for a les
son that will teach him to helesscrcd
uloiis in future.
Violating the SbLUth.
A rigid Sabbatarian, who occasion
ally exhorts iu church, and fills the of
fice of Justice ol the Peace in a West
ern village, not long since went on ti
deer hunt with a puny composed ol
five or six young hunters. By some
ui. accountable mistake he losl Ins reck
otiing, and, much to his niortiticaliou,
he found, on reference to his papers
Ihe third lav ol the hunt. Hint it was
Sunday, when he had supposed it was
Saturday, lie opened the morning
j with a prayer, and told his Compati
mus that, us a Christian and a magi-
! Irate he could not hunt thut day und
oie aim eomiuenceu reaniug.
His more worl.tly-mind.-d compun
ions thought, with the li.i llimore bunk
man, "that there were no Sabbaths iu
Ilovoluiioiiary times," took the dogs
and started in pursuit of game. It was
hut long before the whole pack were
in full cry, and the worthy magistiute,
011 looking up from the sacred volume,
discovered a tine bin k making for the
camp. Without a minute's delibera
lion, he siezed a loaded rifle mid plug
ged the deer between ihe antlers.
" Gentlemen," said he w hen his
friends came to the spot, "it is contra
ry to the laws of M.se and the revis
ed statutes of Pennsylvania, to travel
on Sunday, and lor that reason 1 shot

"I'd shoot the rascal lor traveling

While the hew market house at the
corner of Thirteenth and Walnut Sis.,
Louisville, was iu process of erection,
u bottle of whisky was sent up to a
brick-mason, who, ul'ter tuning u
drink, left out a brick and pluced
the bottle with the rest of the bever
age iu the vacant place, where it still
is. Half of it euu be seen projecting

intention that these should hot be re

should be in danger of burning, bin

up for a drink, und, procuring a lad

The No3e Bleed.
The following we clip from Rn ex
change, which is a very interesting
fact to remember :
There are two arteries which.supply
the whole face with blood, one on each
side. These branch off from the main
arteries on each side of the tuck, pass
ing over the outside of the jawbone,
about two thirds of the way back from
the chili to the nligle of the jaw, un
der the cur, and runnit g upward to
ward ihe eye. Each of these arteries
supply ju.-t one lmlf of the fine, tho
nose being the dividing line ; the left
nostril is supplied by the left artery.
Now, supposing your use bleeds by
the right nostril," w ith the end of the
forefinger feel along the outer edge of
the rigid jaw till you feel tho beating
of thearury directly under your finger,
I ho same us ihe pulse in your wrist.
Tuen press the linger hard upon it,
thus getting the little fellow iu a tight
tilaco between your finger and the jaw
bone. The result will be thatii'i drop
if blood goes into thut eido of your
face while the pressure continues,
hence the nn-e instantly stops bleeding
for want of blood to flow. Continue
the pressure for five minutes, and the
ruptured vessi Is in the nose will by
this time probably contract so that
w hen you let the blood into them they
will net leak.
Blcefing frntn a cut or wotit;d in
any part of the system mny he stopped
by compressing the artery from which
the blood flo.vs. Acting upon a knowl
edge this simple fact, slu-iild acta
sion require, may save the life of a
dour friend.
