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- involve him 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, ain’t you ?

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.
