THE HIGHWAYMAN'S BRIDAL.
, 1 I I .
I ' The days of King GeorgN,... , Third
were the times .for.; gall 1 .. . robbers,
whose,fine clothes, -high bearing, reek-,
less hardihood, and (frequbntly) good
birth took away from the imperficial ob
server much of the diftkness 'of crime
actually surrounding their deeds, and
lives. You were diyeAted of your ings
and , ptirses - often with af demeanor so
polished that really it rather resembled
paying a toll to good manners than sub

One highwayman in particular was
notorious enough in his brief day for
most of the
,qualities I have, described
as sometimes attributes of, these knights

too, his uncle being a clergyman in a
high church appointment. , His person
was elegant, his manners courtly, and
he was rash in an' extraordinary degree:,

They never recovered their natural
intelligence. Fixed, and stony, they
bore her, stricken lamb, from the dis

days by her bedside, eagerly waiting .
for a ray of light, a tolien of sense, or
sound. None come. -,.. She had been
striken with catalepsy, and it Was - a
blessing When the enchain k ed spirit was

the pure soul was permitted to take its

Not Good Enough for Her.
In the days of the good colony of Vir
ginia, the distinctions between rich and
poor. were based upon laws which, like
those of the Medes and Persians, alter
ed•not. One of the most devouifollow
ers of this code was a wealthy planter,,
living in what is known as the North
ern Neck. He was in all respects a
flank, open-hearted, manly gentleman ;
'but his estimate of his fellow men was
founded upon the principles that gov
erned his selection of his horses—blood.
Wealth, too, was by no means an un-
ImPortant "feature with him. He had
our human weakness, and, like all of
,us, was influenced more than he even
believed by pounds, shillings and
pence. •-
This Mr: had quite a large fam
ily, and among them a daughter whose
beauty was the standing toast of the
country. She was just eighteen, and
bedding into lovely womanhood. Not
Only was she beautiful in person, but
her amiftle disposition and many ac
complishments made her more than or
dinarily attractive, and half the gentle
,men of the Northern Neck were already
sighing for her love. • •
Teher was in the country at this time
ayoung man who was already rising
high in the' esteem Of 'his' neighbors.- 1
,He came' , of -good family, but , was, as
yet, .11 po,or;survgyor, wbo,', had taught
himself his, protbssion, .and who had
- spent' much of his time in traversing '
unknown forests, with nothing but his
coriipass for his-guide and his chain' for
-tht4oltinghion, locating lands and ; set-

varied feats of strength in which the
olden-time Americans took such pride.
He Was calm-and reserved; and there
was about WM a dignified sweetness of
'demeanor that accorded well with' his
frank ; independence of character. , He
was,a,great, favorite with all who knew
him=` and' there was no 'gathering to
which he was not asked.
' Mr. G.- seemed , especially to like
the young man, and It was not long be
fore he insisted that the' latter sthould
abandon all ceremony in his vhf is to
him;and come and go when he pleased.
The 'invitation WAS heartily given, and
as proMptly'accepted. The yoUng man'
liked' the planter, and he found tho so-
cietyof. the hea IWO' Mary 0— a
very 'strong attra tion. ' Theresult was
that he was frecp, entlY at the planter's
residence; so frequently, _indeed, that
'Mrs. 0 -- 2 --- felt called upon.•te. ask her
-husband if the did not think it wrong
topermit him to enjoy such unreserved
intercourse with their daughter. ,The
,father only laughed at the idea, and
said the hoped • his daughter knew her
,position too well to allow anything like
lovis for a poor surveyor tO blind her to
her duty to her fainily.
-,' :Xeverthless Mary. G--- 7 - was not so'
fully impressed with this conviction of
duty „as • was her, father, She - found
pore,to admire' in the poor surveyor

him with allthe honesty and devotion
'of her'pure heart; and she would have
thought It a happiness: to go out with
him intothe, backwoods and share his
'fatigues l and troubles, no matter h6w
thuch sorrow they'.ihight bring to her.
;Nor did she'iove in vain. The young

Letter from Indiana:
VINCENNEs, IND., Aug. 15, 1867
Since wr)ting you, 1 have come from

propose to write you from time to time,
as Eglean items worthy of note. '
The climate of Indiana is variiible;
in'the south and interior, the days are
at present excessively warm, far ex

the old ",Empire.' The evenings are
cool and even chilly, requiring a,change
of clothing, or au extra shawl, Or coat,
for comfort.
In the Wabash *alley it is extremely
unhealthy ;cholera cholera has already come
to Nincennes, find many people are
leaving the city. Cholera is als6 in In
dianapolis, and several other paints in
the State.
The scenery, especially on the Ohio
river, is grandly beautiful. Vast fields,
smooth and cultivated, stretch away in
the distance, until the eye almost tires
of its sameness, when suddenly a beau
tiful belt of woodland, green and cool,
breaks up the . . monotony, and almost
compensates for ,bur dear old, tree
crowned mountains, lofty and towering,
and the sparkling little cascades, that
wind so gently down their rugged sides.
The interior of the State has greater
variety of scenery ; riding yesterday on
the .O. St: M. R. R., we past through
vast cornfields' , stretching op either side
i t
almost , illimitably, the . 1 suddenly
changing to a barren sand nk, or lofty
ledges of brown rocks, fro, , nif i ng down
like stern sentinels, over Eren miles of
the narrow pass through AO ich we rode.
Then again' came Dame attire in her
wildest moods; groves of forest trees,
prominent in which was the beautiful
buckeye, threw their rough arms over
our heads on either side, and sylvan
streams fell murmuringly • down the
deep rocky ravines, that had parted the
slight elevations, that were dignified by
.the name of mountains. %

The Way to Speak to 80y5,,:
Many years ago, i. certain milkier
was going one Sunday morning; from
his school room. tle walked through a
nurnber of streets, and as he tuned the
corner, , - he saw assembled around a
puinp a party of lithe boys who were
playing at marbles. On seeing him ap
proach,lhey began to pick their. mar
bles and run awaya as fat as they could.
One little fellow not having seen hini as
soon as the rest, could not accomplfsh
this so soon, and before he succeeded - iii
gathering up hi. 4 marbles, the minister
had closed on him ainLpraced his hand
upon his shoulder. ^They were face to
face, the. minister of God and the poor
little ragged boy who had been caught
in the act of playing xnarblek on. Sun
day morning. And how didthe
minis
terY fort is what
I want you to observe.
He might have Saill to the boy,
" What.are you doing herd?, You are
c ,
breakin the Sabbath ! Dtin't you de
serve Co be punished' for breaking the
command of God?"
But lie did nothing of the kind,. He
simply said " Have you found' all
your marbles ?"
" No," saht - t - he---14Ule boy,
not."
" Then," said the minister, " I will
lielp you to find them," whereupon. he
knelt down and helped to look-for the
marbles, -and as lie did so, remarked,
" I liked to ,play marbles when a little
boy, very much, mid I think I can beat
you, but I never played marbles on Sun
aay.y?
The little boy'S attention was arrested.
He liked his friend's face, and began to
wonder who he was. The minister of
the Gospel said:
" I am going to a" place where I think
you
.would like to be=will you come
with me?"
" Wherp do you live?" asked the lit-,
tle boy.
"Why, in such find such a place,"
Was the reply.
" Why, that is the minister's house,"
exclaimed the boy, as if he did not sup-'
pose that kind man arid the minister of
the Gospel could be one and the same
person.
" Why," said the good man,'" I am
the minister, myself, and if • you will
come ' . with Inc I think I can do you
some good.th
Said the boy : "My hands are dirty ;,
I cannot go."
Said the MiniSter, "Isere is a pump—
why not wash ?" •
Said the boy, "lam so small-I can't
wash and pump at the same time.
Said the minister, " If `you will wash.
I will pump."
He at once set to work, and pumped,
and pumped, and pumped; and as 'he
pumped the little boy washed his hands
and face till they were quite clean.
Said the boy, "My hands are wring
ing wet, and I do not know bow to dry
MI
The minister pulled out of his pocket
a - Wean handkerchief and offered it to
the little boy ; -
Said the boy, " But it is clean.?'
" Yes," was the reply, " But it was
to be dirtied." .-'
The Tittle boy dried his face and hands
with the handkerchief, and then accom
panied the minister to the house of wor-
•
ship.,,
Twenty years aftr', the minister wa4
walking in the §treet of a large •eity,
when a tall gentleman tapped him on
the shoulder, and .looking into his face,
--I `'l4 l 4,TrMartliti t hilnik l 2-r-ine ?"
", Do you remember, twenty , years
ago, finding a little boy playing mar
bles around a ptimp ? - Do you remem
ber that boy being too dirty 'to go to
school, and your pumping for him, and
your speaking kindly to him, and ta
king him to school?"
"Oh," said the 'minister,
member."
.
" Sir," said, the gentleman, " I Was
that hoy. • I rose in busineSsKi 4,-

. a good position in: and on see
ing you to-day in the street, I felt bound

and all that lam at the,present day." +
The' Delusions of .Drink
Thq most prevalent of all delusions is
self-delusion; No one humbugs us so
thoroughly as we humbug ourselves.
And in no piirticular 'are we more self-'
deceptive than in - the habits that are
horn of our appetites. We are eontinu-
ally making excuses for them,instead of
openly avowing and justifying our in
clinations. Thus they become,forbid- • -
den fruit, and thus the,danger of illicit
indulgence is heightened. Sb much of
artificial stimulus enters into our lives,
mots', mental and 'physical, that peri-•
ods of reaction and - depression are , in- • .
evitable, p rac tlc ally - unavkidable. • :
Therefore recourse is had to the iiispir- '"
ing devices alluded to in the , following
from the London Lancet: . 1
' The growing tendency of those whose
'lives are gentle, and whose minds are
educated, to in alcholic stimu- '
lation - , is; a fact which the • pkofession s,
would do well to recognize and to pro-'
test
,
test against. The vice is not the vice •
of our grandfathers.; the bottleZr twos '
of port which eften laid them under the , '.
dinner-table; .and i:alWays • sent them
reeling into the Ara/Wing-room. The ,
sin of our day is less 'obtrusive, and •
more disastrous. It takes the form of
an occasion - 1 glass at odd times during
the day, an extra dose atlunch, a glass •
:
of sherry o ' two k more or lesS frequently
to the course of the afternoon, • another
from the table when the cloth is lard for
dinner. Not uncommonly a flask of
Sherry accompanies the blue-book in
the carriage. And it is worth -noting
that this kind of tippling - is not done in
secret. So fat, indeed, from this, it is
rather a matter of - boasting on the part
of those who indulge in- it, and they
press others, often warmly, to follow
their example. Sometimes, it is true. a.
mild . kind of excuse is offered. The
dose is taken "just to keep ono up, you
knoW," or as a " whet before dinner."
Just as often, when sodaor seltzer water
suggests itself as a refreshment, the -
question arises whether, - ,its accompani
ment shall be brandy, sherry or liquor.
' The idea of taking it alone is not enter- .
tained. !It is described as "weakening" .
" too cold for the stomach," and so on.
.Not so frequently, it is to be hoped, but
_still, often enough to he . :of serious mo
ment, these odd glasses of sherry, bran
dy and soda, dry. curacoa. &c., are taken
'hi the morning between breakfast and
lunch,
sometimes eve before break
fast. In the course of ,t me the results •
of these indulgences do ! not fail to pre
sent themselves in t!e nausea .and
