' In 1847, a young physician, who had just graduated from the Missouri State Universi ty, and returned to his home in Illinois to practice his, profession, led to the altar a la dy who had won his love. The young phy sician, with . that professional ardor which burns so brightly in the minds of, all stu dents, had on hie return home procured a "subjezt," or cadaver, for disseotion,.by dese crating the village churchyard. By some means this fact became known and a warrant was issued for his arrest, and placed in the hands of an officer to serve, which he did a few moments after the naarriathe ceremony had been performed. The crime being a fel ony, the bridegroom's position may readily be imagined to have been extremely unen viable, and the prospects of a prison cell be ing anything but agreeable he determined to make his escape. The officer having grant ed him privilege of saying a few words in private to his wife, he retired to a room with her, bade . her farewell, jumped from the win dow and escaped. He was pursued for ma ny days but finally managed to chide his pursuers, and settled in Missouri.' A year later he wandered into New Mexico, and from thence, in the course of a few years he found his way into California. During his wanderings he had failed to correspond with his wife,' and she, believing him dead, mar ried again. After a time he learned this fact, but determined to remain dead to, her, and it was not until a few months ago that he,altered his determination. Happening to pick up a paper in one of the western cities, he read an account of the death of the hus band of his wife, and knowing her to be free he wrote to her, telling . her that he "still lived," and cherished her memory as green as when ho kissed her lips in parting nine teen years ago. lie told her that ho was still free, and asked her to come and enjoy with him the fortune he had accumulated.— The wife widow received the letter..and while she road the old love returned, and she de termined to join him. Disposing of her pro perty, she, with a daughter twelve years of ago, - took passage for California, where* they arrived on Thursday last, and wore met on the wharf by the old husband, who conduct ed them to the Cosmopolitan hotel, .where' they remained till a 'license was piocured. and a minister re-married the parties, after which they proceeded to the house that had been prepared for them, and whom they en tertained quite a number of friends on Thurs day evening. Truly the incidents of 'real life are more startling And romantic than the wildest fancies of the romancer. • DIDN'T KNOW His OWN BABY went zen of Jamaica Plains, Long Island, went to answer a ring nt the door at the request of his wife, where be found nothing but a ban: kot.

Priest, who had been particularly recommended to the captain of a vessel, was sailing from France to America, when the captain, who saw that a storm was approaching, said to him : "Father, you are not accustomed to the rolling of a vessel; you had better get down as fast as possible into the . hold. As long as you hear the sailors swearing and blas pheming, you ,may be assured that there are good hopes; but' if you should hear them em• bracing and reconciling - themselves to each other, you may make up your accounts with heaven." As the storm increased, the Priest from time to time dispatched his companion to "Alas I father," said he, returning, "all is lost. The sailors are swearing like demoni ses; their very blasphemies are enough to sink the vessel." "Oh I heaven be praised," said the Priest, "then all is right I" TITOUGIITS OF SATURDAY NIGHTS.—No one can forget the youthful thoughts of Sat urday nights, especially if indulged in at a country home. . . Then it was that the blacksmith's bellows grew breathless, and his hammer lay silent upon the anvil, the fitful tinkling of a bell denoted the last wamierer of' the flock safe in *the fold; the mill's big wheel stood' still, and the,upper and lower sections of its ,bat tered door was closed; the 'ironing' of the old-fashioned mother was aired and folded, and laid away, and the last loaf was drawn from the glowing cavern of the old blaok ev en. .A moment more and the moon • sur mounted the needs.

COULDN'T FOOL 13..Ett.—The Layfayette (Ind.) Courier tells an amusing story of some ladies and gents of that place who were ta king a social walk near the cemetery, when a ghost appeared. They all ran but one sturdy woman of the strong .w.listled class, who stood her ground till the ghost got to her. She then thrashed out of the fright ful disguise a mischievous fellow who had heard the project of walking about grave yards discussed, and hid himself to give the party a fright. She led him back to the house. and in reply to the questions that poured in upon her said: "Can't fool me: Iv'e seen too man'ymen in sheets to be fright esied by them." . A SCENE iN • A PRINTING OFFICE.—A patron of a village newspaper once said to the publisher: "Mr. Printer', ho* is it you have never called ou me for the pay for your paper?'! "Oh," said the man of types, "we never ask a gentleman for money.' "Indeed," replied his patron, "then how do you manage to get along when they don't pay?"

Disap pointment is marked • upon every counte mthee--,-all butfhope has vanished. Great were - the promises—what has thus far been the result? Who is the happier, or better off? Who less oppressed by govern ment and laws? A NOELS SENTlMENT.—Copperbends who affect to sneer at every philanthropic effort to ameliorate the condition of the Southern negro, will not be pleased with a sentepee that occurred • in a late speech of General Howard on the Freedmen topic. "If the negro •is a ereatute for whom Christ died, ho is a man whom no follower of Christ can despise or trample under foot." If this is sound deotrine (who can dis pute it?) no man who professes to be a Chris tian, or approves the principle thought by our Saviour, does his whole duty if ho fails to exert all the influence he .posesses to ed. ucate and elevate to a higher plane of man hood this long sufferha& and cruelly oppress ed race.---.E.r. A gnetleman, one evening was seated near a lovely woman when the company around were proposing conundrums to each other.-- Turning to his companion he said, "Why is a lady unlike k mirror?", She "gave it up : " "Because," said the rude fellow, "a mirror reflects without , speaking; a lady speaks without refleeting.
