PLYMOUTH, IND., TIIUKSDAY. FEBRUARY

THE LOTES OF THE BOO'CXRS. A VERY PATHETIC TALE Samuel Bouncer was a robust young butcher, who wore a hat with crape on it, and half red morocco tops to his boots. He was also of a noble and aris toiratic mem, And the owner of stall Ho. 39 in the market. lie had an uncle in the marine corps, and his mother was cross-eyed; notwithstanding this, he had connected himself with hose company No. 2, while his temperament tended to the bi'lious, while his dog was a double-nose terrier with a weakness for beef, and a yellow spot on hia left shoulder. Sam also had a slightly bald head, and butchered on Tuesdays and Fridays. Samuel was ia leve. And with a girl. While yet in the prime of manhood, with all the grace of youth upon him, and beef selling at 2 cents a pound for the good pieces, Samuel bestowed his affections upoD a fair ina:dea, who resided in the dwelling adjoining his own. somewhere about twentv sum mers bad shed their softest caresses up on ner head, and while her education was all the most fastidious could desire. she still weighed one hundred and seventy-five pounds on Samuel's scales, and had a right musical laugh, that affected you like a strain of music waftod on tho midnight air say like a glee club strainins itself under vour win dow. Her hair was luxurious and black as any night say msrht before last for instance and she mingled theblithness of the lark with the hearty appetite of the ostrich. She was the cthcral creature to whom Samuel Bouncer had given his heart. I have said she weighed one hundred and seventv-five pounds. So she did, all but a few ounces, which Sam made up by 'throwing a chop or two on the scales. But she was not on the wait . on :he contrary, she was anxious to be married at once, and one calm summer evening, when Sam had come home from market, she leaned her fair young head on hia shoulder, and would have greased his coat with pomade, while she told him how ardently she desired their union, had it not been that he had on his butcher's shirt. iam tendorly kissed her on her marble brow, and wiped the dew from the end of her nose with his shirt sleeve. " You have dressed yourself in your noblest attire to meet me. How marvelously beautiful you look I" ejaculated Sam, in accents of tendercst affection. ' Yes, I've got on my new gored dress. How do you like it. Samuel?" " Ah ! beautiful ! beautiful ! And my dress, too, is . gord," said Sammie, pointing to the clots of blood upon his shirt. A few moments of profound silence elapsed. The occasion was too solemn for words. Then she said, Sallie Jane was her name, she said . " Oh, Sam, do ou truly love me ?" With my whole heart," 6aid Sam, " and heart is worth seventeen cents a pound." " And you. love none but me ?" she asked murmuringly. " Have I not of ton told you so before?" ' " les, Sammie, but a pans "will shoot through my heart sometimes when I think of ti e fickleness of man." " But, Sallie, I did not re veal my vows always to be true. The fact that I possess your affections is one of my chief delights, although there is an acOlje demand for lights now, 6ince the

-catcher has knocked off" "T"' But perchance some other maiden

more fair than I might dazzle you with her beauty, and rob me of your love." JJelieve me, bailie, l steel myself against suca sirens. JNo other woman shall purloin my heart from you- I lis ten to no tale ot love from other lips than yours. Tails briDg seventy-five cents now, for soup, to be sure, but I haver -Bup-reme contempt for lucre gained by treachery." "Obi Samuel !" exclaimed Sallie Jane as overcome by her feelings, she bowed her head and wept tears of joy. u Yes, angel of my soul," continued he, "I cannot hide my love. I will marry you and you alono. I'll wear you next my heart as I do this piece of rib-bone, and he snatched a ribbon from her hair and stuck it to his shirt " Samuel, I derive hope and consolation from your words. Kiss me, and mind you don't act as if vou was suck ing cider through a straw, and were pressed for time A few moments elapsed, and no sound broke upon the stilly night air but a st bdued poise like tearing a piece cf mvslin. You're one of the right stripe," ex claimed bamuel, as tie leaned back in bis chair " I'd chop Eiy head off for you, I would, upon my taered honor as a butcher Oh, Samuel, that you would always love me thus, she exclaimed " TjOVft vmi ! Oitp lnre ia something more than human ; it is destined to ini-morc-tallow-ty. I have too much at steak to cast you idly by. I have, or I aiu a Dutchman, that's so." " And when shall we be married, Sammy?" said Sallie Jane, takin? a pin out ot her dress belt, so that Sam, the affectionate yountr butcher, would nnt lacerate his fingers. "When shall we stand at Hymen's alter, and plight our '' Stand at which, and do how?" exlWn.l C....l e 1 J.r...:. .miu.su uiuu, iur 11c liua ucictilve IP heathen mythology, although he -ould dress a bef inside cf half an our "When shall we be married, Sammy, de ar, I mean ?"

Thus did two ycung persons sit and converse in tender accents, as the soft moon fiuag her radience o'er the landscape, and flowed with lovely light the front door-step of Sallio Jane's house, while the old man lay snoring on the settee in the back room, waiting for Samuel to bo gone, so that he could lock up the house. And so they were married at last, and down the pathway of life, strewn with flowers as it was", the two loving hearts bounded joyously for about two weeks, when they stopped bounding joyously, on account of Sallie's pounding Samuel, hcrown Samuel, over the frontispiece with the saucepan, because he wanted to make hash out of the old scraps he had left over twice a week. Tho Women of the Harem. These ladies enjoy a much greater degree of liberty than is generally supposed. They visit each other a groat deal, and enjoy all the pleasures of fcssip and scandal which their freer sis;e.-s can do. As they never read, and never work, and have no household duties to occupy their leisure, talk, and eating and drinking, and unlimited smoking, are their only resources for killing time. At hosio they vary these amusements by calling in the aid of singing and dancing girls, as they do not consider it dignified to practice or possess these ac comphshmunts themselves. The sing ing and dancing women are profeFsionals, and generally of very unequivocal character in fact, are almost universally a disreputable class. Then, too, on Friday the ladies go to tho bath, and spend the day there chatting and gossiping with each other. This is their club, and they enjoy it t loroughly once a week. Shopping, too, is another of their pastimes. In the bazars you meet them in great numbers, either on foot or perched on small donkeys, muffled up and covered with large silk cloaks, with only a bright pair of wicked-looking eyes visible, and guarded by an old woman or sable eunuch. They are quite as eager and as animated in shopping as any western womnn caa be. The richer ladies have also goods brought to their houses by female traders, who make a very profitable trade out of their famiful customers, who are entirely regardless of expense in gratifying any whim or caprice that seizes them. The expenses of a man's harem in Turkey far surpass all those for the rest jf his household. It is Lis most expensive lu tury. The best trait of these lazy, idle, and uneducated women is their devotion to their offspring. Thoy are good mothers, and Their love and devotion are reciprocated by their children. The strongest sentiment the Turk has is his reverence for his mother. However elevated his position, he always stands up in her presence until invited to sit down, a compliment he pays to none besides. It is related of the famous Ibrahim Pasha, of Egypt, that on one occasion, having offended his mother, the old lady intentionally omitted askiug him to sit down, and compelled him to stana up ior an nour a severe pun ishment for an Oriental. Yet he af. the time was absolute arbiter of life and death thioughout Egypt, and still a sJave to the whim of an old woman, be cause she was his mother. Women who can command reverence and obedience as unqualified as this surely must serve it. The practice of purchasing Georgian and Circassian woman for the harems ia still kept up, Constantinople being tho great mart or central depot of these willing victius. They prefer the gilded slavery of tha harems, where they soon become despots, to the life of hardship and priva tion which would be their lot at home. On all the steamers coming from Con stantinople you may meet some sensuallooking I urkish or Egyptian magnate in charge of a bevy of veiled females, whom he is bringing back to replenish bis stock of wives or s'aves. They are carefully secluded in private cabins, and when permitted to breathe fresh air on deck, resemble walking bundles of black silk, so carefully are . they en veloped, neither face nor figure to be seen. Thf surprise of foreign visitors to these caged birds is very great when they are contemptuously condoled with on the little care their husbands take of them, and the indifference they must feel toward them, in permitting their unveiled faces to be seen by every eye. The eastern woman is proud of the precaution her husband takes to insure her fidelity, conceiving it to be a mark of his interest in her. At the same time they conceive themselves perfectly at liberty to bafHe that vigsvance if they can, and intrigue is a uassion wirv jtheai,' although the puniahment, if de tected, is sure and suddeu ueath. As to what we regard as the pleasures of home and society, they are. neither known nor prized in trose regions. Thy live an animal existence, and enjoy life in that sense only. An educated f.nd cultivated woairn is & rara avit among them. Such s one was the princess of Said Pasha, former Viceroy of Egypt. She not only was a musician, but poetess a ) well, and im pressed all Foreign ladits who saw her by the grace and elegance of her man ners and speech. W hile very vounr the eastern wo men may be charming, but they be come prematurely old at an age when western women are in their prini. Larly development ( they are marriage ble at ten years of agn), and the indolent life they lead, stuffing themselves with unwholesome food, tend to pro duce this effect, together with the enervating cfiecta of climate and early coatcrnity. Sat-h is a true picture of the llfo of an eastern wonim, who is the pampered .... - j i i - 11 1 ! baud, and vrkuw) code cf morality is H

From "The Life cf an eastern woman," by Edwin DeLeon, in Harper's Magazine for February. What Young- Folks Should Know I Tho best inheritance which parents can give their children is the ability to help and take care of themselves. This is better than a hundred thousand dollars apiece. In any trouble or difficulty, they have two excellent servants in the shape of two hands. Those who can do nothing, and have to be waited upon, are helpless and easily disheartened in the irisfortunes of life. Those who are active and hardy meet troubles with cheerful face, and easily surmount them. Let young people, therefore, learn to do as many things as possible. Every boy snouia Know now, sooner or later: 1. To dress himself, black his own boots, cut his brother's hair, wind a watch, sew on a button, make a bed, and keep the clothes in order. lo harness a horse, wagon, and harness a team. grease a 2. To carve and wait on table. 4. To milk tue cows, shear the sheep and dress a veal or mutton. 5. To reckon money and keep accounts correctly, and according to good book-keeping rules. 6. To write a neat and appropriate, briefly expressed business letter, in a good hand, fold and subscribe it properly, and write contracts. 7. To plow, sow grain and grass, drive a mowing machine, build a neat stack, and pitch hay. 8. To put np package, build a fire, u-.nd broltcu inula, whitewash a wall, ancf regulate a clock. Every girl should know how: 1. To sew and knit. 2. To mend clothes neatly. 3. To make beds. 4. To dress her own hair. 5. To wash the dishes and sweep the carpets. 6. To make good bread and perform all plain oooking. 7. To keep her room, drawers and closets in order. 8. To work a sewing machine. 9. To make good butter and cheese. 10. To make a dress and children's clothing. 11. To keep accounts and calculate interest. 12. To write, fold and subscribe letters properly 13. Tu nurse the sick effectually and not taint at the sight of a drop of blood. 14. To be ready to render efficient aid and comtort to those in trouble, and in an unostentatious way. 15. To receive and entertain visitors, in the absence or sickness of her mother. A young lady who can do all these things well, and who is always ready to render aid to the afflicted and tnitkrate the perplexities of those around her, will bring more comfort to others and happiness to herself, than if she knew now to dance, simper, sing and play on tue piano.

Almost every reflecting, intelligent citizen has some pet idea or notion which he would like to see embodied into law for the 0od of the people. Well, wc have a suggestion to submit to our representatives at Indianapolis. It is known to all who have paid any attention to the matter, that most of the money drawn from the tax payers is disbursed at home voted away by our county commissioners, township trustees a,nd city councils. It is an indisputa ble fact that our local finances have not hitherto received that consideration which their importance dnmand. Daring the fiscal year ending May 31st last, our county expenditures proper footed up $51,131,40; township and other expenses, $4G,74L70 total, $07,873.13. That is, the county commissioners and judges durinc; tha year mnile avllowwaoos covering $51,131.-40, and the township trustees paid out S4G.741.70. During the same period our city council voted away in round figures some $25,000. The total amount of cash taken from the people of LaPorte county by way of direct taxation, is nearly 200,000 per annum including, of course, the sum collected on the city duplicate. Now we maintain that it is sale stand best for all concerned that the people be in formed just precisely to whom and for what purpose all this money goes. To this end we suggest that a law be passed providing for the publication, officially. by tne local press, of all the allowances made by the county commissioners, cir cuit and common pleas judges, and city council certmed copies ot said allow ances to be furnished by the auditor and clerks, iroru time to time, as the same aro voted. Further. let it be ordained that the report of each township trustee be published in lull, as soon as may be after tho annual settlements with the county board. In this way the tax payers will be kept duly advised as to the disbursement ot their money will knew exaetiy who gets it, and upon what claims It is appropriated. All this, of course, will cost some thing, but the outlay will be moderate a mere bagatelle compared with the benefit accruing to the public. The arrangemeut would impose a most affective, wholesome check on all corrup tion and extravagence and under it any "jobbery in, or "grabbing oi, county, township or municipal funds, would be well nigh impossible. Men will be careful what they claim, and boards, councils, judges, and trustees cautious what they vote, when the allowance, must all pp.ss under the eyes of the people. We insinua'.e nothing against any of our officials ; they are, so far as we know, as honest and faithful as the best. We wish to Jc.rp themand their successors honest and faith ful, by making all mal-vcrsation and corruption difficult aad dangerous. If our legislature wants to take a step in the path of truth, practical civil reform, let it enact that the local newspayers be paid a little for furnishing the tax payer fresh, full and ojficbil information as to how their business is being transacted, and the.r money expended. Lajjbrtc Herald. The American Hotel Clerk. A hotel clerk is the embodiment and concentration of dignity. If their wealth is to be judged by their dignity, they all must be possessed of several millions. Perhaps you are not aware what I am driving at. Just go and ask one of these lodging-house potentates of the whereabouts of some friends of yours who may be an inmate of the bouse. Providing you are a major general or a congressman, you may receive a tatisfactory answer. If you aie brigadier, you may get a vague one. If a colonel, it may be necS3ay to wait three or four minutes. If a civilian but words fail to convey an idea of the manner in which civilians are crushed and subjugated when they propound their inquiries. Not that they are rude. Oh, no ! But there ia a majesty, a loftiness, an exaltation, a consciousness of power in their words, looks and gestures which reduces the inquirer in bis mrn fstimation to the last ver"e of ioferiority. Cbri-tiana who are always too strong to humble and abase themselves, whose besettmsr sin is paid, just ceaie down here and t3ke a dose c-r tis-o of hotel clerk. When ever I fee. that 1

A correspondent of the department in Austin. Texas,' states that sine the war the attention of agricultu ists in that state has been largely direted lo the culture of the grape and other fruits. For a number of yrars, he says, , experience has shown bey&id a doubt that the climato of Texas is very favorable to the cultivation of foreign grapes. A number of varieties are under cultivation and have produced very fina fruit, even in ysars whec the nativo grape has been killed by the late spring frosts.
