The Huron Expositor, 1872-05-10, Page 6psseesolamme. -Romance in Real T.-Ife. *Ablaut fifteen years ago as young Scotchinan had as neighbors, in .the mountain, region of Scotland, a family in which there was a little 'girl of our years. One day he took the little girl on his knee, and play- • fully told her fatehrr, "One day , 1 ' will make her my wife." Net long after the father, mother and girl rie- solved to emigrate to America, which they accordingly did, landing in Part -land in the year 1857. . Ina few years the family removed to Mexico Oxford County, Me., living there Mexico, last year. Not many years after this family cme to this country, the young man who had trotted the little girl on his knee re- solved to emigrate to America, which he did. Arriving in this county, he proceeded. to Montana Territory, ait ere, by good luck and industry, he managed to ansaSs a large fortune. Having richly filled Iiis coffers, his mind reverted ten- derly to thoughts of love, and he rp-.. called his early vow to iseme day wed the little yellow -haired girl be used to trot on his knee to ."Ban- bury Cross:" He knew her parents lad_ emigrated to America, and that they landed in Portland. He jour- neyed: to Portland, then diligently inquired of their whereabouts, and learned the family was in, Mexico. UP to 'Oxford _County he turned his ficteps, and on approaching the house , where the object of his pilgrimage was said to live, he saw a yellow - haired maiden in the parch. "Does Mr. — live here 7" he asked. "Yee, Sir," replied she of the yellow hair. "Is your' name Annie add the Scotchnaan. "Yes, Sir," replied the blushing girl. "Then 'I love you," was bluntly interjected by the Scotchman. The young lady, ol course, thought lie was insane, eandell ' inpered off in - e -to the house. o The Scotchnia.n.s.seon found the father and mother, Who rejoiced and gladly welcomed him. ' " Don't you remember fifteen years age I took your little four, year-old •girl on my knee in Sco land, and said I meant some day snake her my wife?" - " 0 yes, I remember ! but not for ' -many years .have I thought of those happy old days." "1 am here to redeem my pledge,;) faid the Scotchman. "Let the girl speak for herself," said the old gentleman. It aid not take a long time for the young lady to get aequainted, nor long for her to decide that tlii s8cotchman was •just the man sh had been. waiting for all her life. "1 want to be married at once, said the Scotchman. "But I've , just engaged to wolis in Lewiston," said the young- lady. Then, getting hold of a bright idea —"I have it --I'll go down there. to work, and then:I'll not like, you know, and I'll come back here to be Illarried." ' Down to Lewistonwent the girl, at work- for a week was she, when she then. concluded she diti not like to dohousework, and returned home. Next week, the parson. droyes,eup in his two -wheeled chaise, and ihe twain were made one The Scotch:nail and his young wife are now settled happily in ' Iowa, where the old folks, who have Enally agreed that truth is stranger than fiction now comfortably pass their declining years. — Lewiston Journal. arose_ on the tobacco question. A resolution had beenintroduced re- commending abstinence from the use •of tobacco by the younger members of the donference. It was moved to strike out the.*ord younger" from thereSolution, and this at once brought several of the older menit- bers to their feet. Rev. Dr. Rich- ardson said he had listen cured of a malady by smoking,1/4which re -ap- peared as soon as he left off; and he had finally taken to chewing also, and found himself at eighty-three years of age in excellent health. Another aged member of the Con- ferencetestified that the us -e of - bacco had aided to prevent a loosen- ing of hisr teeth, and still another recounted the.benefits that an asth- matic wife had received from smok- ing. Notwithstanding all this the word. ‘‘ younger " was stricken out, and the old preachers were placed in the same category with their young- er brethren. There is no doubt that an excessive use of tobacco is bad for.the mind. A man may perhaps use it in moderation all his life with- out perceptible injuiT. But when a man smokes continually it is pret- ty certain to be found that he pos- sesses a 41u11, stolid intellect, and is deficient in nice peiceptions of right and wro Y. Sun. The Use of Earthquakes. The usefulness of earthquakes was a favoritp subject with the late Sir John Herschel. Were it not for the ehanges in the earth's crust which are constantly being (Sffected by the by the actiort of subterranean forces, of which the earthquake is the most • active manifestation, there can be no doubt that the addition of the sea beating upon the land, together with the denuding power of rain' would inevitably cover the entireearth with One vast ocean. "Bad the priantave world been constructed as it now exists," say's 'Sir John Her- schel, "time enough_ has elapsed, .and force enough directed to that end has been in activity, to have long ago :destroyed. every -vestige of -land." Mr. -Proctor shows most clearly the beneficial, manner; in which the restorative action. of the t. earth's subterranean fgrces is ar- 1 ge. to e -**40 Anti -Tobacco. The anti -tobacconists in Europe and America pursue their efforts to convince the world that .the use of the weed is deleterious. to health and morals, in spite of the Most dis- couraging influences. There can be_ no doubt that their motives are ex- cellent, and perhaps some day their perseverance will be duly rewarded. The Ehglish Anti-Tobacca Society lately held its annual meeting in Manchester, When a report was read which expressed the undaunted de- termination of its members. to wage an unrelenting war agsinst the use 4ef the weed in. all of its forms. The report says the society is convinced that tobacco smoking weakens.the body, enervates the ietellect, and hu- miliates the soul of man, that it pro- motem selfish indulgence and binds fast the chains of enslaving -habit." Examples might be cited in this country that would go far to conflth this view of the subject. Rev. Mr. Trask says that it is impossible for drunkards to effectually reform ;their habits of elsiety if they con- ' inue to smoke. One of the leading ispeakers at the Manchester meeting inad-e an. unfortunate admission in e course of his remark -s, which af- orded scoffers an opportunity- for 'iidicule. He said that while in Turkey he had yielded to the custom of the aountry and sthoked, but had aever- discovered any bad effects oin:it, and never knew thei-e was y danger in the practice until he aid read a pamphlet on the subject. 11 the recent New York Methodist onference -art exciting discussion s a_ ranged. Of course every_ upheave of surface must be accompanied t1 followed by a _depression elsewhere "On a comparison of the various ef teas, it has been found that the force of upheaval acts (on the whole) niorts powerfully under continents, while the forces of depression act most powerful (on the whole) under, , the bed of the ocean. It seemsas if Nature had provided against the in- roads of the ocean by setting the earth's upheaving forces just where they are aVanted." Intoxicating Fish. If the init called coccus Inclicus is divested of its hard shell, and the soft, oily kernel is mixed With about six times it, weight of bread, thor- oughly beaten in a mortar, it is sought with avidity by fish when strewn in the form of small pellets or pills in still Water. Thus in - ponds particularly the scene becomes a lively exhibition in about half an hour after scattering the bait. Great and small Seize the pills alike, and the e-ffect is precisely the same on all. They become intoxi- cated, and fly about on the surfac in an extraordinary manner till they finally appear -exhausted. They may then be' picked up from a boat with the hand. 1-tt the course of less thln half an hour those that do not get stranded on shore in their wild gambols recover their senses and go about their business none the worse, apparently, for the carousal. consequence of an unnecessary destruction. of small fish of all kinds, which are killed in their determine - lion to liave a shale of the bewitch- ing food, without strength of consti- tution to .bear up' under the sudden stimulation which large ones recover from, like the Old tipple's, Massa- chusetts has a special law forbidding fishing with coccus Indicus. No injurious properties are im- parted to the fish stupified by the coccus. They are as suitable for the table as when. taken with a heok. This same berry is used extensiye- ly, 'according to common report, in the manufacture of ale and some other beverages which are slightly exhillarating. As to the fish, a small dose simply fuddles thew. If fed too liberally, th6ia nerves .are over excited, and death is a penalty due to their disl sipatiorif • FoRETHO GI -SI'. —A London :Cor- respondent is very proud of Scotch torethought. He says it was evinc- ed in a very satisfixctory way by a u mane geotsman who had provided half a dozen bpttles of good Scotch whiskey on Thanksgiving Day. It seems that no less than sixty-two feinting ladies were bronght into his oflice„and whisky was administered successfully in 4ach case until the bottles themselves became exhaust- ed.—The forethought Of the sixty- two English ladies to go into such a well -provided establishment surely beat by a large majority the fore- thought of. the one Scotch provider. 1 THE HURON EXPOS' N CHANCERY.
