A oung lady living in Dallas'Teta,,

was engaged, because hi drank. A few
days after she had told line she would
flavot speak to him. again, 4 little negro
boy brought a note from the wretched
young man, whom we shalt call George.
The note read. : Faithless, yet still

remembrance of the happy days gone

The death of Richard T. Merrick, of
WaSkiegton, one of the best lawyers in
this eountry,hae called. oat the following
incident, which shows that he was as
great in the qualities of his heaat as of
lie head. It is told by the Washington
correspondent of the "Times."
"While he was busy over his law
boat= Ole .day in his Washington office,
inst after the war closed, a thin and
eareeroi middle-aged lady entered the
roem. She was dressed in widow's
weede, nd her eyes dropped hesitating-
:
ly ae they encountered the keenglance
of the lewyer. She teld her story be

tationis. itt times her soft 'brown eyes

her ex if mutely appealing for sympathy
frean the lawyer. Yet not _a word did
Merrick say until she had finished. Then
lee abruptly asked only a practical ques-
'
tion es to whether she had any docu-
=entail, evidence to produce. From
the pockest of her widow's dress she
brought forth a packet tied with faded
ribbon. ' Perhaps you might want to
look theee wren Ma Merrick,' she said.
'Very well, madam, leave me your ad-
dress, and when I need them I'll send
you Word -good -day.' The door swung
in and beck, shuttin out the little figure
in black with its pathetic face. Weeks
followed, and Mr. Merrick's client had
reeeined no word from him. At last,
linable tc bear the suspense of hope too

muie ce 4 brisk and imperative 'collie

rather ordered her to enter, An offici-
ous young man sat at a table scratching
away at a paper before hien. He took
in his vieitor at a. glance, and rudely
demanded her purpose. 'I'd like to see
Mr. Merrick if I could,' she faltered.
'Well, you can't see him." Is -is he -

pompous young man waved the caller te
the door, and turned once more to save
the World by grinding- the end off the
point of his pen. -
" anst as the poor woman, the tears
starting from her eyes, was about to
withdraw, the half-closed door of the
inner office _opened, and Richard T.
Merrick himself, with his face flushed
and iadignation blazing from his eyes,
strode in. - Young man, I've no further
use for you. The young man did not•
hesitate. The tone of the lawyer left
him no room for doubt, and he left
without ceremony. Then that forlorn
caller was made happy. Mr. • Merrick
had that very day discovered evidence
that substantiated -all her claims. But
more. He had discovered, too, that the
husband whom she married had been a
member of his Mil company in the army

Married Life of Authors.
Most of the leading authors in Great
Britain are married. Dickens was one
of the few modern British literati who
was unhappy in his marital i-elations,
though only a generation previously
these difficulties were very frequent in
the history of geniut. Walter Scott's
wife was decidedly inferior to him in
intellectual aswell as in physical devel-
opment, and this may account for the
immediate degeneracy of the family.
She was the daughter of a French
refugee of wealth, who escaped the guil:
'aim: with his family and fortune. Be-
ing a pretty girl with a laree portion
she made an Ken, conquest of the penni-
less attorney, who had beeen unsuccess-
ful in a previoue love matter. Had
Scott married into a better stock he
might have left a family worthy of his
name. Shelley, -t yron and Coleridge
are among the chief illustrations of
genies end domestic infelicity. The
firstran a rapid career. Before he was
twenty -nine he had married twice ; had
abandoned his first wife, who commit-
ted suicide, and had achieved fame as
one Of the great poets of the day; and
he quickly reached a grave in the Exig-
liah burryingeground at Rome.
Byron was unfit to marry, because of
mtelise selfishness, and. lawless appetite.
- Coieeidge loved his wife, but was so ad -
dieted to opium that he was unfit for
- domestic life, and hence a long separa-
tion.' Charles Lamb was a bachelor, de-
voted tothe care ofh a lunatic sister.
Giblatie Hume and Macaulay, the great-
est hieterians Great Britain ever pro-
duced, were bachelors. _Perhaps had
they been married they would have at-
tained greater happiness, if not greater
excellence. Gibbon was deeply in love
when he eras a poor student at Laus-
anne and his father forbade the ,union.
The girl was the daughter o a Swiss
clergyman, and after her father's death
became a teacher in Geneva. From this
16w1ti tninlititintshe was elevated tip bd
the wife of Necker, the financial ruler
of France (just before the revolution),
and became the mother of Madam De
Stael.
Hume was constitutionally a celibate,
but I presume that Macaulay would
have married had he ever found the
time. Tom Moore married an actress.
Wilkie Collins married a daughter ef
Dickens. Campbell married a second
cousin, and they -had• the usual bitter
experience of literary life. The latter
circle of poets such as Jerrold, Toni
Hood, Barry poets,
(Proctor), Ebene-
zer Elliott, etc., were all married. Hugh
Miller fell in love with a girl who came
into the shop- where he was dressing
stone, and the union proved very happy,
but it was at last sadly teaminated by
his suicide.
Mr. Hobkirk, Bros,dhaugh, on
Agricultural Depression.
In replying to the toast of " Agricul-
ture " at the annual dinner of the Border
Counties' Associatioe, Mr. Hobkirk,
Broa.dhaugh; saki tenant -farmers were
sometimes held' up- to ridicule and
laughed at. as a set of unmitigated grunt-
blers,but he believed if those who sneer-
ed at them tried their hand at raising
wheat at 30s. per qr., or potatoes at
about the same price per ton, or wool at
91:1 per lb., there would be something
more than grumbling heard. The utmost
hitherto aimed at to meet the depressed
state of agrieulture by farmers has been.
..a• reduction of renaltut with, such prices
for the staele produce of the farm, the
question is not now a reduction of rent,
butiwhether cultivation can: be carried
on at such prices without any rent at all.
It is perfectly etrtain that a good_ deal of
the arable -laud ot Scotleed would be
!hand •to fall sheet of pee, tiding ler the
seed, labour, manure, and other neces-
sary charges,leaving absolutely less than
nothing for rent at such .prices. The
agriculture of the Bordercounties has
tong been a model and pattern to the
surrounding country. The pluck and
perseverance of both landlords and ten-
ants in these counties may be trusted .to
make the most and the best of the tryi
ing circumstances which beset thein;
bat it is an ominous feature in the pre-
sent case that there are a greater 'lim-
ber of those large, beautifel farms of
Tweed and Teviotdale in the market just
now than have ever -been seen at one
time in living memory.
An Eagle. that Caught a Man.
Two men who live on Long Island
went hunting one afternoon early this
month. They drove in a wagon. Like
a good many ether cruel greenhorns
who were not taught better when they
were boys, these men where in the habit
of firing at everything in the shape of a
bird that they saw. They spied one
high up in a tree. It was nothing less
than an eagle, the bird of their country,
yet one of the men had ,no more respect
for him than to bang away with his gun
at the royal creature. Ai person who.
would do etieli a +Wine, :would not be ex-
pected to be a good marksman, and he
did not hit it. The eagle stretched his
wings to fly away. Just as it did so the
man fired the other barrel of his shotgun
at it. The eagle had treated him With
grand dilidain before, bat that second
shot waked up the bird. It struck' and
wounded .him slightly. He showed the
rash huntersthat the American eagle is
not a bird to be fooled with. It is to be
hoped foreign nation t will learn that les-
son, too. When the shot struck him
the eagle arose in the air,circledgrand-
ly two or three times, and shot like an
arrow directly down upon the man who
had fired at him. That Mrd meant
fight. The hunter seen him coming, and
aimed a blow at him with the but of his
gun.
Then there was an exciting scene.
The eagle dodged the blow just as any
intelligent person would have done, §nd
shot past the mans Then it wheeled
suddenly and came at him again beak
and claw. The hunter strnek at it again
with his gun, but the moment he did so
his foot slipped and he fell. The' fall
knocked the gun from his hands and out
of his reach. The eagle had dodged hit
blow again'and risen in the air some
ii -
what. As lay flat and helpless upo
the ground the bird swooped dome upo
him witha, scream that Waked the echoes,
The rnan called to his friend to come and
help him. The enemy scratched his
legs and pecked hie back and sides. 11
caught it by the neck, and then it pu
up its claws and seratcheillais hands ter-
ribly. The bird was game to its to
nails. He was scratched so that he wa
forced to let go nis hold. Then it rose
in the air to get a forceful start, and
swooped down uPon him again. Thie
time it pounced upon his back and began
tearing his clothes and flesh.
The splendid bird would undoubtedly
have conquered th t one man alone, but
by this time the friend had come up. He
picked up the gen and with it knooked
the eagle senseleSs. Before it had rei
cevered itself hie ran to the wagon and
brought some [ropes. The fallen man'
had got upon his feet by that time'and
the two together tied the eagle. They
bore their prize thus bound and helpless,
to their wagon, and brought him home.
There they chained him in the barn.
But it took two men to do it.
The eagle was the largest ever taken
alive on Long Island. It measures
seven and a half feet from tip to tip of
its wings. The hunter who fired at it
was considerably scratched up. It
served him right. The next time he
sees a royal American eagle sitting peace-
fully upon a tall tree meditating he will -
probably not disturb hine-Wallace's

Catarrh -a Istew Treatment.
Perhaps the most extraordinarY success that
has been achieved lin modern medicine has been
attained by ,the Dixon Treatment _for Catarrh.
Out qf 2,000'patients treated during the past six
months fully ninety per cent, have. been cured
of this Aubborn malady. This is none the less
startling when it is remembered that no five per
cent. of 'patients presentingthemselves te the
regular practitioner are benefitted, while the
patent medicines and other advertised cures
never record a cure at all. Starting with the
claim now generally believed by the most seien=
tifie men that the disease is due to the presence
of living parasites in the tissue, Xr. Dixon at
once adapted his cure to their extermination-
ehis accomplished, he claims the Catarrh is Firm-.
tically cured, and the permaneney is unquestion-
td, as cures effected by him four years ago are
cures still. No one else has ever attempted to
mire Catarrh in this manner, and no other treat
ment has ever cured Catarrh. The application
of the remedy is simple, and can be done at
home, and the present season of the year is the
most favorable for a speedy and minanenteeure,
the majority of cases being cured at one treat-
ment. Sufferers should correspond With Messrs.
