RULES FOR COURTING. The following good advice on the above subject is frotn tbe pea of John Quill, who seems to have had rather a blissful experience in regard to 8u*h matters:

Having had much oxperlence in tlie science of courting, I have determined herewith to lay down some definite rules for the guidance of my young friends. You see I bad a good many unsuccessful courts before I met ray present wife—the females whom I loved having gone emphatically back ou me. Bat, bless yon, did It barm me? No, it didn't I was benefited thereby, 5 and when I met my present wife I knew the ropes, and gathering up my nlFectloiiB, made one tell swoop on Sallie's heart, and the door thereof banned widn open and let me in. I will give you the rules, and shed tbe sunny light of illustration upon them from my own life. 1. Never go courting the girl's parents. You'd better ed^e up to the charmer herself at once for you can't marry if you don't try unless she wants you. and you may be able to even if tb» old folks are hard on you.

This is the policy pursued by myself v. in tnv last successful attempt. '2. By all means get the girl's ma down on you as much as possible. If the old lady is alwuys blowing against you, the little dear begins to take your part, and can't help loving you.

I did this Wiiy, and my mother-in-law used to throw brooms and washboar's at mo. and teach the dog to bite me in the trousers us I climbed over I he ftnue.

N. B. Sho's got over it now, and lives at my house Without lyiug board. If reiuiirae festers in her soul in consequence «f her conduct, however, I havii't noticed it yet. 3. If you see any other fellows prowling about, always ctichro tliem if you -.m. 11 yoa see' one ol them boy tick els for tho opera, go right up and make an ongvignmeut with the girl, and get 'your tickets afterwards and when •«4jlhey visit tho liouao always act as if you were at home and they wero only

VvMlors, and never leave first. I always did this, and have frequently -fflsat until d.ivbroak, while the fair one *issnon'd away on the sofa. You can't binII me. N\ sir, hat ha! I guess not. 1 would have been there yet if the I'ellow had stayed. v' 4. If the old man has worlillv we ilih, Cxpri-HS a disliko to greenbacks, and a

.hankering after love Inn small house. 5. If you lire alone in the parlor you may sometimes try whothor your arm .tits'well ou her waist.

I tried this once, and called forth a .piercing scream, which induced her Jheavv lather and two brothers to chuck tue down the front stops. So bo oare•illtl. fa 6. Whon vou inqolre if she will have *vou, don't fill on your knees -it's ridic''iilom, betides being rough on trousers, -lust take her baud, and speak out like ».,« niau.

I behava I simiarly to this to a fern lie, snd said "Will you be mine?'' She replied, rather abruptly, "Not much, I E^von'l!" It's likely she would have been ll:tle, but I didn't care about pursuing tbe sul\joct any further. 7. When you are engaged, don't go «oT like an o'ld Jackass, and begin buying teaspoons, and wash boilers, and candias. It is very unwise, aud excites comment.

Why, I recollect, I was so glad that I Vent' right otT and purchased a babyjuiuper mid guin-ring. It waee long while ere those thiug* were necessary, snd the baby-Jumper bad shrunk so that when we put the ftwt of the little Quills Into it, suddenly jerked op, aud came frightfully near bkttoriiig the 'devoted child's brains out against tho ceiling, whllo tho gum-ring, having been kept in a box with cockroach poison, throw tho baby into fits, and be (it was a boy) had spasm* iu the crib for four day*. a 8. If a girl refuse you, don't give It \ip, but trv it again. lltMWUS© two negatives make an affirmative in grammar, however, don't consider yourself accepted wheu a girl Jilts vou twice,

I asked one female forty-one times, aud at last she got to cxp6ct it whenev or I came, and sometimes would boiler out 'No!' from tbe top of the stair*, before I got Uirly in the house. Tula is unusual, let me here remark. 9. Kiss all the little children in a house, oven if they are dirty *nd do smear molaasee eaady iu your hair, tat the boy play horse with you and make a fool or yon generally. This always works. It's a trump card, If you play it right. 10. And dually If there are two stater, and the old one is Jealous, get some one to choke her oil, while you go in for the younger.

I did that once, and used to g»t my friends to ask the mmior girl out every evening, but she found me out, ana used to arrange bafr pins In the sofa cushions before she went out, so that it Mas extareinoty uncomfortable.

Thtt* it will !e«eeu thai, when courtship la alluded to, I am right there If anr farther information ts wanted, Mutd toe a letter, enclosing a sump aayoents), and I will cheerfully give it gratis. .• j-

THE USUAL FA TK OF A DISCOVERER. In crossing the plains in 1852, Tommy Dodd was gobbled up by the Goshot Indians ana some months remained a captive among them. He says among other plunder obt lined by the Indiins when they took his train, was a hand organ which an adventurous Ital an was bringing out to California. They piled bacon around the old Italian and fried him in it, but his org

111

ried away with them, as the sounds it gave out \'h'en tho crank was turned delighted their murdering hearts. For it Is true, as- t'on^reve says in tho opening lines to his tragedy of the "Mourning Brick," that— Music hutli charms to soothe the savage breast, To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.

The organ was a big thing among the Indians after they reached their village. The ehief had a in 111 to sit in front of his hut and grind it every night. It was *t to play "Yankee Doodle," and "Yankee Doodle" it playod overy night, week in and week out, without any "variation." One night, in fooling with the "machine," the Indian grinder shifted the stop, and wheu he resumed the crank out came "Pop Goes the Weasel." Tho chief listened a ino tnent, and supposing the machine was spoiled, seiznd his tomahawk, leaped f'roiu the door of his hut, and with tleroo yell, brained tho discoverer ©f the new tune upon the spot.

Ever since its introduction at St. Louis, at the close of the Mexican War. in 1S49, it has proved a signal blessing to horse and inao--curlng, with absolute certainty and wonderful despatch, such equine diseases as spavin, ringbone, poll evil, •cratches, boofale Ac., and relieving and finally removing tbe painful affcotlons which attack tbe muscles, sinews and external glands of human beings.

"ALSO AT

Seventh Street, Corner of the Canal, Terre-llaute, Ind.

We claim to sell goods lower than any Retail House in our line of business in the city,

A few Substantial Reasons why we can do so.

1st. We pay no r-nt and in thls-way save what costs other grocery houses from two to six per cent, on every dollars worth of goods they sell. 2d. We buy our goods from manufacturers and first hands, and in this way make a saving in our average of at least four per cent. 8d. Our sales are at least double, If not treble those of any other retal grocery in town, and as this greater amount of business can be done at only a Utile more expense, it follows that we can on this account reduce our profits at lenst five per cent. 4th. Being ambitious to build up a still larger business we are satisfied with a mack smaller profit than many of our competitors.

TO RECAPITULATE.

Saved in Rent, say 4 per cent. Close buying ©f First IIan«l*, 4 per cent. By the Large Bnwiness we do. 5 per cent. By onr Small Profit System, S per cent. Total »aved Town Customers, 10 per cent. Here theu is the explanation of how it is that we can yet make money notwitliKtaud^ ingour competitors say we sell at cost. Our sales are double those of any other house in our line of business in the city, and we are ready to test the matter by a comparison of sales.
