Habit.
“ I trust everything under God,”
said Lord Broughan, “ to habit, upon
which in all ages, the law-giver, ns
well as the schoolmaster, has mainly
placed his reliance; habit which makes
everything easy, and casts all diffi
cullies upon the deviation from :
wonted course. Make sobriety a
habit and intemperance will be hate
ful; make prudence a habit, and
reckless proligacy will be as contrary
to the nature of the child, grown or
adnlt, as the most atrocious crimes
are to any of your lordships. Give a
child the habit of sacredly regarding
the truth ; of carefully respecting the
property of others;. of scrupulously
abstaining from all acts of improvi-

them tic you up, and as soon as
they’ve taken the key and gone, why,
you just let yourself loose and give
the alarm.”
The cashier said it was a remarkable
invention.
“ You bet it is,’’ said the inventor,
“ and as I never take any money for
it till my customers are satisfied of
my luncsty in dealing with them,
I’ll tell you what I’ll do. J list let me
gag and bind you, and then I’ll give
you simple directions what to do, and
f you don’t unloose yourself in five
minutes and express your entire satis
faction with the process, I’ll give yon
ten dollars. If yon find that I am a
man of my word, you’ll pay me live
dollars.”
The cashier said that nothing would
be fairer.
Another thing,” continued the
visitor, “ I am a poor man, ar.d this
secret is my only stock in trade, so
I’ll ask you not to teach any one else
how to do it, for that would spoil my
business.”
The cashier consented to the ar
rangement.
“ Take this $10 bill,” said the other.
“ If I fail, yon keep it; if you are
satisfied, you return it to me with
another $5. And now this is how we
do it.” So saying, he took a roll of
cord and a gag from his pockets, and,
with great dexterity, tied that cashier
hand and foot, and gagged him so
that he could not wink.'
** Now, yon are tied pretty firmly,

think of rushing into an element in

Deceived and Divorced
'
Haw • Rapeetabln Yoaag Maa of St. Loaix Hi,
Taken lu.
l$t. Louis Special to Cincimati Enquirer.]
A sensational divorce suit of the
most extraordinary character caine
np for trial in the St. Louis Circuit
Court a few days since, and was
decided in favor of the offended hus
band. Oa the 2slh of March, IS75,
Frank M. G irdon was married at
the Southern Hotel, in this city', to
Estella G. Gordon, a niece of Judah
P. Benjamin, the ex-rcbel Secretary
of State, now an eminent counselor
of London. The ceremony d:ew
together quite a catitpuny of tin:
friends of Mr. Gordon, a young gen
tleman wealth of and unexceptional
character, and at that time connected
with Dodd, Brown & Co, now with
Chase & Cabot, both prominent firm*
of this city. This bride was a com
parative stranger, having lived in
Neyv.OileJins-prior .to the marriage,
’afY^ikjl^pISue 'f
her acquaintance, and before lie left
her engaged to marry her. Young
Gordon came to St. Louis, leaving
his bride expectant in New Orleans,
she to follow at a date fixed, when
they were to be married here. This
put of the programme was carried
out to the letter, but there was an
unlooked for denouement to the hap
py event of the manipge, for which
the husband was entirely unprepared
and which led shortly afterward lo a
reparation ami a suit for divorce.
A few hours after the marriage
above recorded the bride and groom
retired to their apartments, a suit of
rooms al the Southern, known as the
bridal chamber, and, after seating
themselves for a chat, the husband
was suddenly startled from his pro
priety by the voice of a child in the
next room. He inquired what it all
meant, when his new-made wife pro
duced an infant, and falling at her
husband’s feet begged her husband’s
forgiveness. Imagine his mortifica
tion and surprise when informed that
the child was flesh of her flesh and
bone of her b»>no, whom lie had here
tofore deemed as chaste a3 Diana, as
pure as the snow, and to learn from
her own lips the story of her shame
and the damnable deception she had
practiced upon him by making him
at once a husband and a father.
Hence the divorce granted to Gori
don.
True taste is forever growing,
learning, reading, worshipping, laying
its hand upon its month became it is
astonished, casting its shoes from off
its feet because it finds all ground
holy.
He seldom lives frugally who lives
by chance. Hope is always liberal,
and they that trust her promises
make littli scruple of reveling to-day
on the profits of to-morrow.
Parents, mothers, murses, do not
fail to give Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup
to the little ones for all cases of coughs
and colds. Only costs 25 cents.
The cash'er looked the replies he
could not speak.
“ I don’t think you could, myself,”
said the inventor; “and now let me
tell you, my name is Jesse IL James,
the notorious train robber, and if yon
don’t fork over that key in three sec- New Hulled Buckwheat Floi.r at
onds, I’ll cut your throat from ear to Hood & Stepheus, Barry’s corner.
