THE Btl'Cni.ICAN STATE CONVENTION which will meet in thia city on the l!0th of Febraary, will ba the Uri;ot and most enthusiastic body ever held ut the State Capital. Ample preparations have already been nude, and nothing will be left uudonc to bring out the Let material with which to compose State ticket. Gov. liukcr and Will Com lack will doubtltsa bo nominated for the first two places on the ticket. (Jen. Kim La! I, the present incumbent, will, beyond almost any doubt, le re-notiiinat d for State Treasurer. Tie other State officials have served two terms, aoi hence will not be candidates for renomination. For State Auditor there are several aspirants, but none, to far as wo are able to judye cf the fituation, eein to Lave so ood m idiow nf nu cress as Maj. lt. M. (Jrubbs of Ileory County. He is the only candidito l'rom Kitcru Indiaoa who it aspiring to a pluco on the State ticket, and as that portion of the State gives the greatest Union vote, coiu-! pared to any other particular pection, the ! Union men feci willing to concede the I propiiety of his claim, bj to speak, and will doubtless acquiesce iu his unanimous ! nomination. A goo-', strong man is ncccs-! ary in that region, in order to bring out; the vote, and no one yet namsd pectus to j possess the popularity and will, in a more! happy degree, for that purpose, than Mr. lirubbs. Mr. O. has been a faithful liepublican and Uuiou man, and served with great credit and acceptability in the army during the entire continuance of the j war. John D.

Tho point is, to fccure a good, strong ticket, and all heavy ballast should be tbrown'ovcrboard. CONÜ REGIONAL TOUTlCd. Notwithstanding the great labor of such men as Tom ISennett of Union, during the last session of tho Legislature, to re district Mr. Julian out of Congress, it seems, from present indications, that tho pains for their work wiil be all the return they are likely to get. They "overdid" tho thing. Like tha hungry curs, in the fable of the dos aud tho hides, they have burstcd themselves even beforo they came near thoprizo, Amoni; the leading poli ticians here, who arc posted, it is couceded that Mr. Julian will receive tho noinina-! tioo.

When my name was first suggested for it, I happened to be in Hvansville; and, in response to an inquiry on the subject by Colonel Foster, uf tho llvansville Journal, I replied, as he afterward published, that I was not, and could not be a candidate for Governor. My fellow members havo honored mo with au election as their Srcakcr, tho term of which ofiice does not expire until March 4, ISti'J, and, since that election, I declined a remunerative business offer, because principle and duty required me 'to serve out the full term of the oQico whose obligations and responsibilities I had accepted. It would be, therefore, both 'unjust and impossible to chango tho determi nation thus publicly announced. The hopeful boasting of our opponents is by no means new. When tha Thirty-j eigniu lyongress adjourned its ürst session, in the summer of ISM I, our enemies were more sanguine than than they no-.v prcfess to be.

Tho same frou tided,'-half formed features, the same gently closed eyelids, tho same slightly parted mouth, are common alike to high and low, to good and bad, beforo passion or education has beuun to draw those harder and lnorcdccidcd lines which sleep can uot obliterate, und which only pass away when once the first calm look of death is gone and dust returns to dust. So euch lines mar or alter the faceCf a sleeping child, or giro. o clue to tho daily history of tho soul within. Look from young Seymour tho lord, to .you tig Dickson the shepherd boy. Look at the mendacious and fierce-tempered Johnny, destined to break your heart and ruin you, lying with his arm round tho neck of bis gentle, high-Boulcd Gcorgic. They are nil very nearly alike. Rat awake them; eco how tho soul, still on its guard, betrays tho truth in eye, in mouth, even in gesture Well was tho wise Mrs. Chisholtn accustomed to say that tho timo to judgo of a girl's character was when she was first awake. Can not we conceive of these four ideal children, but they would betray something to a close observer as their consciousness of tho real world returned to them? Would not tho littlo nobleman havo a calm look upon l is face a look careless, becauso bo bad never known rare?

Ho is, we should judgo, a young man about twenty-one. well, though not liehly dressed, dark hair, slightly curling around tho temples; bright laughing, gray brown eyes; and as be chut with Flora, his white, handsome teeth gleam out 'ueutU the brown ruutt HC ho. "Now, Leon," began Flora, with the most solemn face iu the world and Leon thought something terrible waa coming 'Now, I would liko to know where vou huvo been for the last two weeks, l'ou have certainly not been here, bd I want you to give an account of yourself." "Well, Mis Flora, I will do so. From scveu o'clock in the morning till fight at night I have been starding behind the counter in tho store of Main & Co., and between those hours 1 havo been sleeping tho sleep of the weary. You know 1 am only a clerk, and, therefore, 1 have no will unless it is Mr. Main's will also.

"Rut that won't do. Since he found that I came during my leisure hours, he bus put double duty upon me, and manages to keep me busy all tho time. And excuse wy impudence, Flora but docs ho not havo business here himscli? lie comes quite often, unless I am mistaken' "Yes, he doc come often, the hateful, old fat creature," pouted Flora, "but 1 guess be comes to ice ppa," with a comical little smile. "Any way, 1 always run off as toon as he comes, for I can't bear the sight of his old red face." Leon laughed and then said 6erionsly: "Well, Flora, 1 don't like to tell tales; but I heard Mr. Main talking with his partner uf the great prize he had in view; uf its worth and beauty, and was led to believe he had proposed and was accepted." "Ob! Leon, how could you thiuk I would accept that old man as a lover? Why, be is forty years old!'' die laughed ut her terrified expression; then, he sat by her side ou the sofa, and taking both her hands in his, he talked very earnestly for some time. The last words he said as he arose to go, were: "1 shall call again to speak to your father, Flora;" so, pciha'ns, you can guess what his conversation had been about. The next day, as Flora sat sewing in her little room, her father entered, looking very gravej and, taking a seat ojpodlc, he began: "Flora, I want you to lay aside yonr work and listen to me." So Flora, rpenrg her eyes very wide at his serious tone, suspended work, and asked: "Why, what is it, papa anybody dead?' lie seemed to thiuk the latter question superfluous, for be did not answer, but proceeded to tell her that Mr. Main had honored her by a proposal, and had authorized him to inquire into tho state of her mind. Ho dwelt long on bis great and increasing wealth, and ended by asking her when bhe would be ready for the Kt'Jtliiiif asking this with a stern frowu, intended to bo impressing. Flora very composedly nnawercd: "Never!'' and went on with her sewing. "Rut you will, child you thall!" cried her father sternly. "Think of his wealth."

And so Iba w treln tltw away, and it wsi the day of Kboa'a wedding. Mr. Duulap had been closeted with a lawyer II tbo morning, eltiing upon Firs her rcuriiige portion, which commied of a pretty little ' summer residence, some ten milei from S , with a d reo or to aeies of gioun.i attached. Flora wa in her room, with her bridal finery sptcad out viewing it iu every position, with her pretty bead on one side; and I caonct sy she looked very much like an unwilling bride as h smilingly held up the satins, laces, was,flowers, aud blossoms, which, in thciuselvcs, rost a bUiall fortune. That night, at seven, she whs to be marTied. How she smiled when she thought of it! At six, the house wa lighted and in order and the company fast asbfmbliug. Mr. Dun oi p was tu his glory, dressed in the finest of broadcloth, pacing up aud dowu the room impatient for ihe hour to arrive. At half after six the fat old bridegroom came, his squinted eyes glowing- with a satisfied expression. A few moments later the oiliciating clergjiuan arrived and all was iu readiness; and a the bands uf the clock pointed to ten minutes of seven, the father and the bridegroom proceeded to the bride's apartments to conduct bef to tha room. What waa their consternation on finding the room empty. Flora all the bridal finery -the tiro thousand five hundred dollars all Kon. Tbo father was livid with r:ge, and the bridegroom's gouty knees shook As tLey entered the room they lad m few moments befuie left with such light hearts, and explained to the guests tbo cause of their grief, the clock struck scrcn, the street door opened, and in stepped Flora, sparkling aud triumphant iu full bridal dress, leaning on the arm of Leon Windsor. Leading her forward, he said with a profound bow: "Lsdica ai d pentlemen, this is my wife Mrs. Windsor. We were married this evening at half after six by Justice Stanley." i.: Mr. Main fell back in his neat with a groaa of rage. ' Vou scoundrel, I'll dismiss yon," he erit J. Very well," answered Leon, coolly "I was about to ask for a di-mission, for I have quite a capital laid up, and am go ing to set up a store of my nwu soou." Mr. Dunlap could not apeak; Mrs Dun' lap looked terrified. So ll.c j stood io silence, till Le u said: ''Come, Flora, tbfl carriage is waiting to conduct us to my father's, wbeie we shall step a few days Let us go." Then Mr. Dunlap found voice to cryi "No, to, doa't go) it will break my bcarij stay, and 1 Trill fotgite yon, since the kfiot is tied." So Ihev staved, and, topic.tc.ot the guests j.oiig home disappointed; they consented to stand up and he married over ngain by the clergyman; ihotfgh it was Dot at all neccs.iary. Of course, Jir. Main didu't stay to witness this or to partake of the wedding supper which followed. Flora is the happy little wife of rich merchant Windsor, and Mr. Main is still single, though Flora declares that he and aunt Lois arc fal.iu in love with eachother, sho is sine. Now, girls, don't tnke a n.oial from thisand run t fT with handsome young cleiks for it is not a good f bm, generally, tbougkv 1 think it was earusable iu Flora's cae.
