DECEMBER 20, 1878.
Edison's Courtship.
now the Great Inventor Made Love and
Married. .
• The story of Edison's courtship,while
it lacks the roseate tinge of romance,
illustrates the man's faculty for going
to the heart of things with the smallest
'We amount of circumlocution.
en he was experimenting, some
years ago, with the Little autonsatio
telegraph system, he perfected it con-
trivance for producing perforations in
paper by mean Er of a key -board. Among
the 1young women he employed to
manipulate these machines, with a
view to testing their capacity for speed,
was a rathei demure young person who
attended to her work and never raised
her eyes to the incipient genius. One
day Edison stood observing her as she
drove dawn one key after another with
her plump fingers until,growing ner-
vous under his prolonged stare, she
dropped her hands idly in her lap and
lookedup-helplessly into his face. A
genial smile, such as the irreverent
paragraphists have referred to as the
Edison grin, overspread Edison's face,
and he presently inquired rather Ma-
ruptly :
"What do you think of me, little
girl a Do you like me ?"
"Why, Mr. Edison, you frighten me,
I -that is -I-"
"Don't be in a hurry about telling
me. It doesn't matter much, unless
you would like to marry me."
The young woman was disposed to
laugh, but Edison went on:
"Oh, I meant it. Don't be in a
rush, though. Think it over; talk to
your mother about it and. let me know as
soon as convenient -Tuesday, say. How
will Tuesday suit you, next week Tues,-
day,I mean ?"
Edison's shop was at Newark in those
days, and one night a -friend of his, em-
ployed in. the main office of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, in New
York, returning -home by the late train,
-saw a light in Edison's private labora-
tory, and climbed the dingy stairs to
find his friend in one of his character-
istic stupors, half awake and half dozing
over some intricate point in electrical
science which was baffling him.
"Hello, Tom !" cried the visitor
cheerfully, "what are you doing here
this late? Aren't you going home."
"What time is it ?" inquired Edison,
sleepily rubbing his eyes and stretch-
ing like a lion suddenly aroused.
"Midnight, easy, enough. Opine
alctig."
"Is that so.?" returned Edison in a
dreamy sort of a way. "By George, I
must go home, then. I was married
to -day."
Marriage was an ola story with him
-he had been wedded to electrical hob-
bies for years. But, in spite of his
seeming indifference on 'the most
eventful day" in his life, he makes a
good husband, and the demure little
woman of the perforating machine
smilingly rules domestic destinies at
-Menlo Park, and proudly looks across
the fields where the chimnies rise and
her husband still works on the prob-
lems that made him a truant on -his
wedding day. A swarm of children
pluck her gown to share their mother's
smile, and lay in wait to ' climb into
their father's lap and muss his hair
With as great a relish as if he were not
the greatest genius of his time.

Mottoes

V
They built a Sottish arch in Mon-
treal in honor of the vi-it'of the Mar-
quis of Lorne and. the Princess'
Louise,
and wanted to have Gaelic mottoes on
it, but where to find competent trans-
lators was the puzzle. The arch, a lo-
cal chronicler states, was decidedly
grand and needed to be seen to be fully
appreciated. Professor Robin, Vice -
President of the Caledonia Society, and
Mr. McLennan, retiring President of
St. Andrew's Society, had the task of
compiling the mottoes. That being
completed in English, Professor Robin
went around the city amone° the Scot-
tish people who could speakGaelic, but
could find none who could translate
English into Gmlic. He then consult-
ed Dr. McVicar, Principal of the Plats-
byterian College, who got two of his
theological students, who were good
Goalie scholars, to give a pure classical
rendering into the Goalie, which the
principal vouches for. Their names
are Messrs. Charles McLean, of Char-
lottetown (P. E. I.), and John Mathe-
son, of Kenyon, Glengarry. The fol-
lowing are thee mottoeeand transla-
tions:

One Trial of a Public Lecturer.
I remember on one occasion, after
the lecture was over, that the audience,
which was made up for *the most part
of farmers and their families, seemed
disinclined to go, but held their seats,
looking up as if expecting some kind of
au afterpiece. This was so unlike a
city audience, who rush for the door
before the last words are out of the
speaker's mouth -that I couldn't help
remarking the fact to the minister who
• sat with me in the pulpit.
"An, yes," said he, "our people are
not accustomed to lectures, and they
are expecting the doxology !"
"Thenby all means, let them have
it," I said. "It will do us all good."
" It you, sir," said he, "will stand at
the bottom of. the steps, the people will
• be glad to shake hands with you, if you
please, asjthey are going out."
"Certainly," I said, " with much
pleasure."
The minister stood up and told the
audience, that, after singing the dox-
ology, any one who pleasemight have
an opportunity of shaking hands with
the lecturer. Accordingly, I took my
position. near the door; and if I had
been a prize buladog,the people couldn't
have been more reluctant to past me.
All stood up, ;crowding the aisles and
passage -ways ; but no one moved to-
ward the door. To facilitate matters I
seized one old fellow by the hand and
gave it a shake, and passed him along.
Then came another, and. him I also
pump -handled. I held out my hand
for the next,' a rather furtive -looking
youth, with red hair and very freckled.
face. He approached me in a jerk and
deposited fifteen cents on my extended
palm. Before I could get an explana-
tion, he was out the door and off. In
the meantime, the rt began to -move
a little faster; and by and by another
fist -full of coppers Was thrust into my
hand.
"Good heavens !" do they suppose
I'm here to take up a collection ?"
They're actually putting money into
my handl" I said to the minister, step-
ping back upon the platform.
Oh, no 1" said he 'laughing; "these
are only boys who contrived to get in
without paying, so they think they
must pay you."
That was all the hand -shaking I
wanted., so I let the good people depart -
in pace; and they did seem very much
relieved when I got up out of their way.
It was money in a good many pock-
ets, expect. -Boston Commercial Bul-
letin.
Ladies on. Horseback.
Riding on horseback is a useful as
well as graceful means of exercise too
much neglected by young ladies. A
canter for a few miles is a most admir-
able promoter of female beauty and
health, The cheeks, the eyes, lips, and
every feature of the fair equestrian,
when she dismounts, possesses tae freah
and sparkling grace which is one'of the
most important requisites in feminine
loveliness, and which can be imparted
only by the purity of the blood and its'
brisk and equal circulation, which are
produced by temperature and. exercise.
The pale, sickly and. languid counten-
ance of that lady whose hours of leisure
have been passed without occupation
within her 'chamber, or in listlessly,
lounging upon a sofa or couch, may pre-
sent attractions to such as have select-
ed their standard of beautyfrom among
the victims of a round of fashionable
dissipation; but every man of sense and
genuine taste, will prefer the ruddy
glow; of health, the active, agile step,
and exuberant gaiety of her who is so-
custOmed to spend some time of every
day in active exercise, on foot or on
horseback, in the open air.
A Predicament in a Bobtail
Car.
On Sunday afternoon a bobtail car of
the City line going Missionward ,was
crowded. The seats were all taken,
and many were standing; still every
now and then the carwould stop to
take on additional passengers. A pret-,
ty and fashionably -attired young lady
boarded the conveyance, but she:`look-
ed a little disappointed on discovering
that she could get no further than a
few feet from the rear door, and would
be compelled to stand. Grasping the
hand -strap, she threw a wistful glance
around her. One of the Occupants of
the seat was a young Man from the.in-
.
tenor, and he surrendered his seat to
the last arrival. Smilingly she accep:
ted his offer, and the gentleman took
up Ws station near the front door. An
ilstant after she had settled herself in
her seat and shaken out the folds of
her elegant dress, she took a half -dime
from her purse and, passed it to the
young man that he might drop it into
the fare -box. He, however, was not
versed in the practices of metropolitan
street railways, his own fare having
been, paid by a city friend who was
with him. Thinking the money was
offered him as the price of his seat, he
quietly put it in his pocket, unobserved
by the lady, but to the great amuse-
ment of those of the passengers who
witnessed the transfea. Conscious that
- ,a fare was lacking, the lynx -eyed
driver, after ringing the box -bell 'sever-
al times to no effect, opened the door
and demanded the missing ticket or a
half -dime. A malicious urchin, on
mischief intent, spoke out and accused
the unconscious countryman of "stealing
the money given him by ladies to put
into the box. This so exasperated the
now bewildered youth that he at once
knocked down the impertinent speaker.
The boy's mother, a nervous dame of
fifty years, swooned away; a timid citi-
zen. by her side blew a police whistle;
the driver stopped the car. A scene of
wild confusion and tumult ensued until
the airiyal of an officer, who was about
to take the rustic_ into custody, when
the young lady who had been the indi-
rect cause of all the trouble made an
explanation; the countryman made an
apology; the saucy lad recovered; the
nervous mother was conveyed to an ad-
jacent drug store; the timid gentleman.
alighted; the officer disappeared, and
the car resumed its way as though
nothing had happened.--S'an Francisco
Chronicle.

French Toilets.
On our way, writes a French corres-
pondent, we indulged in a brown study
as to why Parisians have a reputation
inenatters of the toilet.. It is not be-
cause they are extrava.gant in the
choice of materials, as a people. The
Americans and English, probably,spend
twice as much in this respect. There-
fore, we -have come to the conclusion
that the secret of their success lies in
these two points : Taste in selection
and. combination, and extreme atten-
tion to those niceties other nations con-
sider unimportant. Then, too, a thor-
ough Parisian lady is so excessively
careful of her wardrobe. She bestows
on it nearly as much care as on her
children-. One who can afford to buy
only two or three costumes in the year
will make as good. an appearance as an
American who runs- through half a
dozen. The French woman's bonnet
may be simple and cheap, but never
out of. keeping with the rest of her
toilet,: and, however she manages in the
matter of dresses, ahabby boots are
never reckoned among her shortcom-
ing's. The gloves may be of an inferior
quality, but they fit well and never
lack a button. The color of her cos-
tume may be trying, but she so lightens
it with bunches of lace and pieces of
ribbon that she leaves nothing to be de-
sired in the way of effect. What she
wears on the street she does not wear
in the house, for eager little hands and
climbing little feet soon tarnish its
freshness. Each .article is carefully
brushed, mended, or folded, as occasion
may require, and brought out as good
as new when next to be worn. One
sees no sweeping dresses on the streets
of Paris. That filthy spectacle of pet-
ticoat pavement -sweeping is reserved
for our own sublime American cities.
French.- women have been reproached.
with untidiness in their homes. "Yes,"
says Mrs. Grundy, "they live for the
world." Perhaps the reproach has
some foundation; but this is alai true:
An A mencart, when she marries, unless
moving in the best (we should say the
monied) circles, „becomes negligent of
those little womanly coquet
tors of dress that helped to

asked him if he anted me to call. He

I obeyed the summons, wa ushered
into the sick -chamber, and a once re-
