A POSTAL COURTSHIP. 'She is really the prettiest little crea ture I ever saw,1 said Mr. Willoughby i ane, as he turned troiu the window lor the fiftieth time that morning 'Jane,' he added, addressing the housemaid, who wa c'.eaung away tne oreatjast thing, 'have , : - . i. . .

Well, yes, sir, if you please,' returned grocer's the other day, and she said that her waster's name was Black Captain Choker Black and that he was staying here oa leave of abseuce with his wife and daughter, sir.' Oh, indeed! Did he happen to mention the youoe lady's name?; Yea, sir. She called, her Mws Kva.' 'Kva! What a charming name! murmured Vaue to himself; aud thcu he added aloud.That will do .Tane, thank you.' Mr. Willoug' y Vane was a bachelor, twenty-eight years old, rich, indolent and tolerably good looking, lie lived with a widowed mother in a pleasant house in the Claphani road, and, having nothing else to do, had fallen desperately in love with his pretty riA-rt-i ., and anxiously sought an opportunity lor an introduction. Ilw. ever, having discovered the name ol his enchantress, he determined to addressher anony tuouly by letter.

And so matters went on, a constant interchange of loiters being kept up i'or a fortnight, duiin; which time Mr. Willoughby Vane spent his days in running to and from the Cost ottice, writing letters and watching his fair neighbor from the window of the diuinc-room. 'Confound it!' he would sometimes, say to himself. 'Ilo very provoking tho dear girl is! She never will look this way. I uo !sh 1 could catch her eye if only for a moment. What a sour looking old crab the mother is! Depend upon it, Wtllough by, that poor child is anything but happy at home with those two old fogies. Indeed her letters hint as much." And having given vent to his feelings he would pot on his hat, and walk to the Post.office; or thut himself in his loom and compose auother note to his 'Dearest Kva.' At length, three weeks having flown rapidly away in this mauuer, he received a letter one morning from the young lady, ahich ran as follows: ro v. v.

Mighty expeditious. upon my word, lla! ha! ha! a 1 ray excuse ine tor laughing but the idea is somewhat comical! 11! ha! ha!' As tho Captain appeared to be in a very good humor, Willoughby 's courage began to rise. Don't mention it, sir. You are her father, aud have a right to do what you please. But I sincerely trust that you have no objections to ofl'cf.' 'I! oue! Believe mc, I shall be delighted to see my Kva comfortably settled. But hark ye, sir. Business is business. I am a plain, blunt man, and fifteen years' sojourn with oue's regiment in India doesu't help to polish one. First of all, what are your prospects?' And the Captain drew note-book from his pocket, aud proceeded to examine our hero, as if he were in a court of justice. 'You are au ouly son, 1 believe?' 'i am. 'Good.' And down went the note in the pocket book. 'Your age?' Twenty eight next birthday. 'Tweuty eight! Good. Is your consti. tutioa healthy?' '1 believe so.. J hare had the measles, whooping-cough, and mumps.' 'Disoideis' peculiar to infancy. Good. aad the Captain scribbled away again. 'Are you engaged ip any business or profession?' 'None.' Then how on earth do you live?' On my prtTate income. Captain. Theu all I can sgy is, you're an uufouioiouly lucky fellow to be ablo to subsist oo that. I only wish 1 could. What is your income? About seven hundred a year.' Is it in house pro perty, shares in limited companies, or the funds? If in public companies, I should be sorry to give two years purchase for the lot.'

And you think you could be happy with her?' Thiuk, Captain! I am certain fit.' Very pood. Now, harkye, Mr. Willoughby Vane. Marry her, treat her well, and be happy.

Then, waving his hand, he added, 'Allow mo to iutfodace to you my wife and daughter. W illoughby looked exceedingly foolish as he bowed to the two ladies. On a couch by the fireside sat his enchantress, looking more bewitchiugly radiant than ever,' her vis-a-vis being the tall, thin, angular woman in black that ho had frequently noticed from over the way. What a contrast,' thought Willoughby, 'between mother and daughter.' Annie, my dear, Mr. Willoughby Vans is nervous no doubt. You kuow the adage.

Development of the Lungs, lt is thought that man's lungs are sound and well developed in proportion to his girth around the chest; yet observation shows that slim men, as a rule, will run faster with less fatigue, having'mere wind' than stout men. If two persons are taken in all respects alike, except that one measures 12 inches more around the cheat than the other, the one having the excess will not deliver more air at one foil breaih, by mathematical measurement, than tbe other. The more air a man receives Into his luoga in ordinary breathing-, tho more healthy he is likely to bo. Eaeh breath it drawn pure into the lungs; on its outgoing the next instant, it is so impure, that if re. breathed without any admixture of (ure atmosphere, the man would die. letice, ouo of the conditions necccssary to securo a high state of health, is, that the rooms in which we sleep should be constantly receiving new suppliesof fresh air. If a person's lungs are not well developed, the health wilt be imperfect, but the development mny be increased several inches in a few months by daily out-door runnings with the mouth closed, beginning with twenty yards and back at a time, increasing ten yards every week until a huudred are gone over, thrice a day. A substitute for ladies and persons in cities is running uo stairs with tho mouth closed, which compels very deep! inspirations, to a natural way, at the end of the journey. It is kuowu that in large towns 10,000 feet above the level of the sea, the deaths by consumption are too times less than in places nearly on a level wirti the sea. Consumption does not prevail in hilly countries and in high situations, because there is ascending exercise, increasing deep breathing; besides, the air being more rarified, larger quantities are instinctively takan into the lungs to answer the requirements of the system. Hence the bills should be sought by consumptives, and not low, flat situations. Which Was Right? We heard a party of grammarians yesterday arguing for an hour over this quesion: 'Is it right to say six and seven is eleven, or six and seven are eleveuV" Some were certain it was the proper term to employ, (on the principle, perhaps, that whatever is, is right.) while others were equally strenuous that are was the right word. Do you mean to say, sir,' said one distinguished grammarian, very much excited, to another distinguished grammarian, 'that six and seven are elevcu?' 'It ore,' replied the other equally excited. Much confusion ensued, and it was feared that a collision would, ensue between the distinguished grammarians. In fact, after conjugating each other pretty sharply and working themselves up to a superlative degree of the wrathful mood, they did make a few parses at each others' heads. In the present tenso of a9airs it was agreod to leave tho question to the decision of the Teutonic gentleman who brought their lager. Said one of them Hans, which is rinht. to sav six and I , -J f I seven is eleven, or is it right to say six and seven are eleven" Vich is rcchtV 'Yes.' 'Sex und seben ish eleven, or sex und seben are eleven?' 'Ves, that's it.' Vy, you tarn fools, sex und seben pees dirteen.' Fate of Distinguished Individuals.

The War. The titibsppy war in which France and Prussia' ate engaged has developed among the American people strong sympathy with the latter. Indeed, the great victories which Prussia has- achieved, and tb6 grievous humiliation she has inflicted upon Napoleon and hia army, have been causes of rejoicing. Hardly a man among us who did not feel, as the thrilling news came to tts of tbe repulse, or rather the terrible defeat of the French at Weissen-

burg nnd Hagcntu, a glow as tbongh ca4 lamity had bee!, arrested at 6sr door, and j a personal enemy had been chastised. In our last Issue we cave some reasons fur American sympathy vtlth the suceeases of King William. So weighty are they thai, we are ttror.gly of the hope that the Ktopcrorwill not successfully rally hia forces and wrest his laurels from the victor. We are greatly mistaken, however, if American sympathy will go beyond its present bounds. We gave our hearts to the German nation because we wished to see a union which had begun carried to a com
