THE MARRIAGE OF GREAT HEN.
Byron married Miss Milbank to get
money to pay his debts. It turned
out to be a bad shift.
Robert Burns married a farm girl
with whom he fell in love while they
worked together in the plow field. He
was irregular in his life and commit-
ed the most serious mistakes in con
ducting his domestic affairs.
Milton married the daughter of a
country squire, but lived with her but
short time. He was an austere, ex
acting literary recluse, while she was
rosy, romping country lass that could
not enduring the re«traint imposed
upon her, so they separated. Subse
quently, however, she returned and
they lived tolerably happy.

were cousins, and about the only ex

aichs wherein the marital vows were
sacredly observed and sincere affection

Shakespeare loved and wedded a
farmer’s daughter. She was faithful
to her vows, but we can hardly say
the same of the great bard himself.
Like most of the great poets, he show
ed too little discrimination iu bestow
ing his affections upon the other sex.
Washington married a woman with
two children. It is enough to say she
was worthy of him, and they lived as
married folks should — in perfect
harmony.
John Adams married the daughter
of a Presbyterian clergyman. Her
father objected, on account of John’s
being a lawyer—he had a bad opinion
of the morals of the profession.
John Howard, the great philnn
thropist, married his nurse. She was
altogether beneath him in social life
and intellectual capaity, and besides
this was fiity-too years old, while he
was but twenty-five. He would not
take “ No” for an answer, and they
were married and lived happily together
until ehe died, which oceured two
years afterward.
Peter the Great, of Russia, married
a peasant. She made an excellent
wife and a sagacious Empress.
Humboldt married a poor girl be
cause he loved, her. Of course they
were happy.
It is not generally known that
Andrew Jackson married a lady whose
husband was still living. She was an
unedacated but amiable woman, and
was most devoutly attached to the old
warrior and statesman. John C. Cal
houn married his cousin, and their
children, fortunately, were neither dis
eased or idiots, but they do not evince
the talent of the great States Rights
advocate.
A traveler in the State of Illinois,
some years ago, came -to a log caben
on the prairies, near Cairo, and there
halted. He went into the house of
logs. It was a wretched affair, with
an empty packing box for a table,
while two or three old chairs and a
disabled stool graced the reception
room; the dark walls of which were
further ornamented by a display of
tin ware and a broken delf article
two.
The woman was crying in one cor
ner, and the man, with tears in his
eyes and a pipe in his mouth, sat on a
stool, with his dirty arms resting on
his knees and his sorrowful looking
head supported by his hands. Not a
word greeted the interloper.
“Well,” said he, “you seem to be
in awful trouble here; what is up?”
“Oh! we are most crazy, neighbor,”
said the woman, “and we ain’t got no
patience to see folks now.”
“That is all right,” said the visitor,
not much taken aback by his polite re
buff ; “but can I be of auy service to
you in all this trouble?”
Well, we have lost our gal; our
Sal is gone off and left us,” said the
man, in tones of despair.
“Ah! do you know what induced
her to leave you ? remarked the new
arrival.
Well, we can’t say, stranger, as
how siie is so far lost as to be induced ;
but then she has gone and disgraced
us,’ remarked the afflicted father.
Yes, and not as I should say it, as
is her mother, but there went a pootier
gal in the West than inv Sal. She
has goDC and brought ruin on us, and
on her own head now,” followed the
stricken mother.
With whom has she gone ?” asked
the visitor.
Well, there is the trouble. The
gal could have done well, and might
have married Martin Kehee, a capital
shoemaker; and though he ain’t got
but one eye, plays on the flute mighty
well and earns a good living. Then
look what a home, what a life she has
deserted ! The gal was surrounded
by all the luxury in the county,” said
the father.
Yes, and who knows what poor
Sal will have to eat, drink or wear
now ?” groaned the old woman.
And who is the fellow that has
taken her from you to lead
her into such misery ?” quoth the
stranger.
“Why, d n him, she has gone
off and married a critter called an edi
tor, as lives in town, and the devil on
ly knows how they are tamake a liv

A country minister of “ limited ca
pacity” recently married a second
wife a widow of some property. Being
an ardent servant of Mammon,
fui him nwrhhrr asked him if he did
not do well by the second marriage.
“OJyes, indeed,” hesaid with animation
ana then, as an expression of reverent
awe, stole into his face, he added, “and
what is veiy remarkable, tbe clothes,
of my wife’s first husband just fits |
me."
served that his wife, a very beautiful
and accomplished woman, to whom he
was tenderly attached, and with whom
he had lived in delightful harmony for
11 years, did not respond when he
prayed for the king. “Why do you
not say Amen, when I pray for his
majesty ?’ he inquired. “Because,”
she calmly replied, “I do not believe
the prince of Orange to be king !” “In
that case,” returned the unbending
Orangeman, “we must part.” It does
not appear that the wife, a conscienti
ous, tar-minded woman, who was wil
ing to give the liberty ehe exacted,
made any effort to turn him from his
purpose; she seems to have had as
strong belief in the sincereity of his
convictions of duty as she had in her
own. Accordingly the reverend gen
tleman went up to London and re
mained a year, leaving several children
and the care of the parish and parson
age to his wife. At the end of that
time William of Orange died, and as
the lady could respond with a hearty
“Amen” to prayers for Queen Anne,
the husband and wife were reunited.

A garret is like a seashore, where

there is the ruin of a bedstead he

there is a large wooden reel which the

Egg-eating Dogs.—“ W. C. G.,”
of Boston, suggests a specific for Egg
eating Dogs, viz: “ Blow an ordinary
ben’s* egg, expelling the entire contents,
stop up one end with wax. Then fill
it from the other end with strong spirits
of ammonia, or 4 Hartshorn.’ Seal
that end and then put it where the di
can get it If he crashes it, he will
never be desirous of repeating the
luxury of egg-eating. After the dog
has had one ammoniacal feast, a little
of the fluid poured into the nest, will
remind him of the fact, that, he once
was burnt and also will serve to
cleanse the nest from vermin.”

Mb. Beecher om South Caroli
na.—In his sermon last Sunday isven-
ing, enforcing the idea that into might
be heroic, even in a bad cause, Rev.'
H. W. Beecher said:
He did not know on earth a more
pitiable sight than South Caxqlijte It
was atone tiig&tbe richest and 'proud
est of the States. It inaugurated
those ideas which led to the disaster
of war and the cleansing of South
Carolina had risked and sarrificed
everything for their principles. They
had seen their children'laid ip the
grave and their households reduced to
beggary, and yet, in the plentitude o£
their sorrow, they would, take back no
partitSe dt thefr faith in the cause.—
Though in a bad cause, they showed a
heroism it would be well to pattern and
admire. • " ' ? ” ‘ >
Mr. Christopher S. Arnold; of
Washington City, petitions for a di
vorce from Mrs. Emma Arnold, ou
the grounds that he married hci; at the
mouth of her father’s pistol, and that
Mrs. Arnold now confesses that she
had.no mote right reclaim him as the
fathor of the little stranger than sever
al other gentjemen sne could have
named if she would. There are few
uglier places fbr an innocent man to
marry at than the mouth of an angry
parent’s pistol, and if the court doesn’t
grant Mr. Arnold a divorce, he ought
to try what virtue there is in pistols
himself.
