... learning A Wife. !'And so you want to marry my daughter, }*oung man," said farmer Biltkins, removing his pipe from hia mouth, and looking at tho young fellow sharpley from head to too.
Despite his rather indolent, effeminate air, which was mainly the result of his education, Luke Jordon was a fine looking fellow and not easily moved from his self possession but he colored and grew confused beneath that eharp scrutinizing look.
Yes, air, I spoke to Miss Mary last evening, and sho referred me to you." The old man's face softened. "Molly is a good girl," he said, stroking his chin with a thoughtful air, and she deserves a good husband." What can you do?
The young man looked rather blank at this irbrupt inquity. :&/) "If you refer to my ability to support a wife, I can assure you—"
I know that you aro a rich man, Luke Jordon, but I take it for grantod that you ask my girl to marry you, not your property. What guarantee can }*ou give mo in case it should be swept away—as it is in thousands of instances—that you could provide for her a comfortable homo You have hands and brains—do you know how to use them Again I ask, what can you do?"
This was a stylo of catechism for which Luke was quite unprepared, and ho stared blankly at the questions without speaking. "I believo that you managed to get through college—havo you any profession?"
No, sir I thought—" Have you any trade?" No sir my father thought that with the woahh I should inherit, 1 »hould not need an}*."
Your father thought like a fool, then. He'd much better have given you Bomo honest occupation and cut you off with a shilling, it might have been tho making of you. As it is, what aro you fit for llero you are, a strong, able bodied young man twentjT-four years old, and never earned a dollar in your life You ought to bo ashamed of yourself." "And you want to marry my daughter?" resumed the old man after a few vigorous puffs at his pipe. Now I've given Mollie as good advantages for learning as any girl in town, and she hasn't thrown em away but if she didn't know how to work, she'd bo no daughter of mino. If I choose I could keep moro than ono servant but I don't no more than I choose that my* daughter should be a pale, spiritless creature full of dispepsia and all manner of fino-lady ailments, instead of the smiling, bright eyed, rosy cheeked lass that she is. I did say that she should marry no lad thai had been rich father
prove yourself to be a man vourself in some occupation-
Pretty Mary Biltkins was waiting to see her lover down at the garden gate, their usual testing place. The smiling light faded from her e3_es as she noticed his sober discoinfitted look.
Father means well," she said, as Luke told her tho result of his application. .!
And I'm not suro but What he is about right," she resumed after a thoughtful pause, for it.seems to me that every man, bo ho rich or poor, ought to have some occupation."
Then, aa. sho noticed her lover's grave look, she added softly: "Never mind I'll wait for you, Luke."
Luke Jordon suddonly disappeared from bis accustomed haunts, much to tho surprise of his gay associates.— But, wherever ho went he carried with him in his exile, these words, and which wero like a tower of 6trengh to his soul. I'll wait for you Luko!"
Ono pleasant, sunshiny morning, lato in October, as farmer Biltkins was propping up thegrapo-vino in his front yard, that threatened to break down with the weight of its luxurious burdens, a neat lookng cart drove up, from which Luko Jordon alighted with a quick elastic spring, quite in contrast to his formerly easy, leisurely moments.
Good morning", Mr. Biltkins. I understand that you wanted to buy some butter tubs and cider barrels. 1 think that I have somo here that will just suit }'ou." "Whose make aro thoso?' inquired the old man, as. opening tho gato, he paused bj* the wagon. "Mine," he replied, with an air of pardonable pride, and I challenge an}' cooper in the State to beat them."
Mr. Biltkins oxamined them critically one by one. "They'll do," ho said coolly, as he set down tho last of the lot. What will yo take for them
What I asked you for six months ago to-day^— the hand of your daughter, sir."
The roguieh twinkle in the old man's eyes broadened into a smile. You've got the right metal in 3*ou after all, be cried," "Come in, lad
cursed with a taken a foolish liking to ye, and I'll be to form and reduce to proper distell 3*e what 1'11 do go to work, and cipline families and classes composed
perfect, -I don't
care what, so it bo honest, and then come to me, and if the girl is willing she is yours." I As the old man said this, he deliberately knocked tho ashes out of his pipe, tucked it into the vest pocket, and wont into the house.
come in. I shouldn't wonder if we made a trade after all." 'y-. Nothing loth, Luke obeyed. "Molly!" bawled Mr. Bikkins, thrusting his head into the kitchen door. O
Molly tripped out into the entry.— Tho round, white arms wore bared
she looked as winning and loving ae she always did wherever she was found.
Sho blushod and smiled as she saw Luke, and then, turning her eyes upon her father, waited, dutifully to hear what he had to say.
The old man regarded his daughter for a moment with a quizzical look. "Molly, this young man—mayhap you'vo aeon him before—has brought us a lot of tubs and barrels, and of his own make—a right good article too.— He asks a pretty steep price for 'em, but if you aro willing to give it, well and good and hark yo, my girl whatever bargain you make, your old father will ratify."
As Mr. Biltkins said this, he considerately stepped out of the room, and we will follow his example. But the kind of bargain the young people made can be readily conjectured by the speedy wedding that followed.
House of Refuge—A lion.
After the Institution id fairly in operation, and families of infants are formed and under good discipline, it will be much easier to work in boys of
b.ut she's an older and worse class, than it would might
The evil to be feared from tho sending of bo3rs of such advanced ago will prObabl}T bo aggravated by tho fact that tho friends of those accused of crime will bo tempted to represent the accused as being younger than the}* realiy aro, to save them from the county jail or penitentiary, by having them sent to this Institution.
It is hoped that all good citizens who desiro to see this Institution successfully perform its mission, will use all proper means to discourage and prevent the committal of boys of an improper age to its guardianship and to this end the co-operation of thoso entrusted with the administration of the law is especially solicited.
It will bo observed that by the 11th section of the act, infants ttnder tho ago of 18 years may be senteiteed, upon regular trial to the IIouso of Refuge, instead of being sentenced to the penitentiary or county jail. It I'B hoped that no infant will be sentenced tatho house of refuge under this section for the following reasons, viz 1. It will leave a record of conviction of crime to confront him in after years, and to discourage him in his efforts to deserve and obtain the confidence of his fellow-men and there is certainly no necessity for such a conviction, as ho may be as effectually committed to the guardianship of tho institution under the provisions of the 10th, 12th, 13th and 14th sections of the act without any such record boing made against him. 2. By tho provisions of the 15th section of tho act no infant can be cunve}'cd to the institution until it is ascertained from the Superintendent whether he can be received or not and if ho cannot be received into the institution the case of such infant is to be disposed of as if the act had never been passed, and as if no proceedings, ha^j fceen taken under it.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
INDIANAPOLIS, January 1, 1868. In pursuance of tho requirements of section 10 of an act of the Genera! Assembly of tho Stato of Indiana, approved March 8, 1867, entitled "An Act to establish a IIouso of liefuge for the correction and reformation of juvenile offenders," I, Conrad Baker, Lieutenant Governor of the State of Indiana, acting as Governor thereof, do horeby Announce and proclaim that the institution contemplated by said act having been heretofore located near Plain field, in Hendricks county, is now sc nearly completed as to properly admit of the reception of youths who may be committed to its guardianship under the provisions of said act.
According to tho pian adopted by tho Board of Commissioners, to whose management the institution is entrusted, it will much more largely partake of the nature of an Industrial .Reform School than of a juvenile prison, and this being the case, tho success of the ntcrpriio will depend greatly upon its starting under favorable auspices and conditions.

The experience of similar institutions, in other States has proved that boys over the ageof sixteen years cannot be rcevoied with profit to themselves or tho Institution.

Under tho provisions of the twentieth section of the act the expense of keeping and taking care of each infant, (including subsistence and*clothing), has beon estimated at one hundred and thirty dollars per annum.
John M. Langston, the celebrated' colored sholar and orator, created a sensation wlion ho spoko at Louisa Court IIouso, Virginia,.some time ago in favor of tho .Republican party. The secesh- were at first highly indignant art tho impudence of a negro coming to talk in their mrdst, even toll is own people but they wero a good deal taken down, first by his wonderful eloquence and finished stylo, and next by tho fact that Langston proved to bo the son of one of his own slaves Tho education Langston received came from his whito -father, who, as ho said in his address, "sleeps by the side of my slave mother in the village gravo yard." Tho Confederate General Gordon Was so pleased with Langs ton* that he called upon and invited himto his: honso after he had heard iiuargument in favor of Eadical Repub* licanism, and tho white ladies of tho pla«B would not be satisfied* till' he had* given them a speech in the village Church. Truly, the world moves!
The Republicans of this State aro not half aa anxious to get the negro1 into their party as tho Domoeratsshould be to get the plotting conspirators who sought Governor Morton's life and the State's ruin, ont of theirs. Thoy aro not troubled so much that the negroes do not vote as they afe that Sons of Liberty do. They have some bad men—perhaps a good- itfany of them—whom they would like to trade off for a better class of Itomocrats, but they have none so bad thoy would swap them oven with the Iemocracy for the miserable hounds who howled down the Union cause during the war, and yollod unceasingly at fcbo heols of War Democrats and Republicans alike in the supremo moment of the nation's danger. They wouldn't give negroes even for them,.—Lafayette* Journal. ..
In anticipation -of a niat&rYal advance in the price of bsof, early next spring, several enterprising market-*
rangements for a constant supply of
in for the same offense, and Western prairie Buffalo hams, which •o would bo a necessity. are promised at reasonable pricas.
1
The act provides that ono-half of the expense of keeping each infant
the infant, if able, must pay the expenses, and in tho last named case tho charge will be ono hundred and fifty dollars? *r
Where tho infant is sent at tho public expense, the charge to tho county from which he may come can hoc exceed half tho amount of the aforesaid estimato or soventy-five dollars per annum.
Tho necessary forms to be observed in making applications for admission into this institution will bo sent without delay to the Auditor of each county in the State.
In witnes8s whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the seal of the State to be affixed, at tho city of Indianapolis, the date first above given. CONRAD BAKER.

A Colored Clergyman on Social Equality. Rev. Mr. Butler, a colored minister, addressed the Kentucky Colored Convention, at Louisville, a few days ago, aa follows: "The future of this country, depends,: not so much on what party iB in power, as it does on the removal of all disabilities they weigh down ite people. Then, and not until then, will ihe country have peace. We don't ask for social equality. I never saw that white woman j'et that looked so well, in my eyes, as a good brown colored woman. And if it wasn't so, we don't need their social oqnality, bocauso our friends, the white folks, havo kindly managed it so that we havo every shade to chooso from, from tho deepest jot black to the purest whito. [Laughter.] And, as there are not® ladies present, allow mo to say tbafcr tho practice of social equality has not been on our side, but on tho part of the whites, who, in their dark and devious ways wero not always ablej let us charitably suppose, to tell black' from white. This social equality hasnot been sought by us, but thoy have run after us and though wo are now emancipated and free, thoy haven't stripped."
A voice—"We'll stop that when wp get the testimony." -inn 'Yes that's so. They bettor not, come my way even now. Wo say
k[
them, lot us alone we don't want any1 mixture. If they had let me alone I
know'n what color I was
but as it is my greatest troublo is to keep my hair jtftft right. Don't talk about social equality. If I was a white man in Kentuck3T I would hide my head I wouki'nt mention it with so many evidences standing arou-nr* of social equality. We don't want any moro of it. Keep on }rour side of the lino and we'll keep on our side, and in tho course of time we'll get back where God left us.''
