THE HWVIDENT BELLE.

A Beautiful Story.

A Lady's room is an unerring type of herself Our heroine'* «u pleasantly situated, for it not only commended fine view of the bay, but overlooked a beautiful garden, kept perfectly neat by Miss Sarah, her lame and elder eieter. The interior of the room would have been improved by the eubdued light of draperied windows, but Agnes could not find time to make curtsins, and her wise mother would allow no one to perform the task for

income of Mr. Stacy, the huaband and father, waa very limited, and hit family had retired to the country to retrench. He was, moreover, rapidly haatening to the grave, ao it behooved hia children to lighten bia burdened shoulder* as be staggered onward. Sarah plied her needle for thie purpose Agnea looked towards matrimony. Perhaps she thought reading novels, like reading law, waa a preparatory atep to success. Soiled romances, mingled with dusty pomatum pots, crooked hair pins, untidy combs and brushes, were reflected daily in the toilet glaas, without raising a blush on the brow of the almost constant occupant of an arm chair, atanding ever belore the mirror, and il not ancient in form, clad always in venerable dust. A carpet unconscious of a broom, covered the centre of the floor, the corners being filled with a substance that may be styled the sig­

of a queen, and resembled soiled down, more than anything we can think of. A never-rubbed bureau, from under which a

dilapidated shoes peeped ominously four chairs, a disordered book case, limping on three legs a trunk with a all the atrsps agoe and a table, upon which chaos had suddenly alighted, filled the recesses. A bedstead tailing under bare poles, and bearing a confusion of clothes in the centre, stood out in bold relief from a conspicuous part of the room, and had apparently disjointed itself in the vain endeavor to conceal an accumulation of odds and ends thrust under it. The grate had been converted into a chiffonier, and a wreath of dust-entangled shreds was self-festooned around tho unpolished bars. Had Lieutenant S. ever seen this room, wo doubt if he ever would hsve solicited a hand that seemed only made for a show.

Man! though styled the gay deceiver, thou art as often the unfortunato deceived.

The other

amy

apartments were under Sarah's cnre,

and displayed their u»ual neatness and taste.-— Though destitute of the costly aigns of wealth, they had the greater charm of elegant refinement, which money cannot buy, The lieutenant was not rich, and priced tho art of living tastefully on a little. He waa noble and despised dependence. He had never mentioned to his lady-love that he had a wealthy bachelor uncle who little suspected tho influence it would have up«»n his destiny.

However improvident in her domestic concerns. In the affairs of matrimony Agnes had an eyo for the main chance. Her own fortune was invested in her face, with no security save the auocess of similar speculators. There have been more hassardous stakes. Agnei was formed to captivate. Her figure at all times was striking and graceful, but her countenance was subject to as many phases as the moon. At the breakfast table It too often reaembled a roll of parchment in oolor and waa generally as crosi in expression aa that article with a law suit written upon it. In the evening it might be aaid to be at its full, and smiled benigttantly. When alone with the family it waa generally in a partial eclipse, and prognosticated atorma.

Hair In paplllote, long gowns, slip shod feet, and heels visible to the naked eye through hemispheres in her stookings—was the usual morning phase of the beauty.

Long, ebony ringlets, falling on a neck of fault* loss proportions an elegant gown: embroidwred hose, (the open worked carefully tucked into the clipper and all the other pretty etoeteras of bellehood adorned the maiden when at full.

Agnes waa now twenty-seven and the host of admirers, that onoe thronged around her had been suddenly dispersed by her removal into the oountry. She felt their loss, the loss from the baseless nature of their attentions. They merely wished to flirt with one «k thoroughly drilled in the art to be honored by her hand tor a night, not a lifetime to produoe the loveliest face at a ball, in whioh they often succeeded, for Agnes mellowed into more /adient beauty under the touch ol time. All these attentions were pleasing enough, but to more sari* ous homage the long-time belle wae anxiously looking for permanent happiness. She had some serious admirers, and would undoubtedly have been out of the reach of Lieutenant S. long belore she him, had not fate fought stoutly for the gallant lover.

There was Mr. Wise, the retired ship chandler, a staid bachelor of forty, who felt the power of her charm* when she was only nineteen. Her par* ecu were delighted with her prospects. for he waa passing rich. But one unlucky fine morning he waa tempted to salty forth and snuff the balmy spring air. Passing Mr. Stacy's door and peroelving it to be sjar, he stepped into the parlor just in time to hear Agnea berating her stater in an ad* joining room As he slipped stealthily away he. onperceived, caught a gltmpee at the beauty, flying furiously through the back part of the ectry. he, shoes keeping time to eirenr step, and her papiHotte bristling around her head like the quills of en enraged porcupine. Four we*ks from that day, Mr. Wise laid his bachelorship at the feet of the eldest of seven daughters erho iseided opposite Mr. St»* cy awl Agnes never knew why he transtemd his affection* to one she had long before voted a 'dowdy.' and *as stiff as a poker.

Three years after, she caught another weahhy admirer, during a visit to the Springs. Stimulated by her hue defeat, she managed her cards ssoet adroitly. Htr adorer waa middle aged and eseeesir*ly neat. He eras a keen oboenuc. but for eoose time Agoas eluded his vigilance. One day, atettjt tan-eat. aa he eel by aa open window, with his inamorato, his aitentkxa waa attreeled by ooapteof ladies, taking leave of soma visitors oa the steps opposite. He expatiated quite lengthy upon their eimpte and asat ooatame. and eaded by aeking who they sits. Agnes colored as sfca informed htm, for they ware lira Win and bar sister. Bar confusion did not peee unnotioed. Mr. flimpemn was suspicious by nature, and, like maiy other wealthy bachelor*, exewedingiy afraid of beanf ia* ken in. lie gained an introduction to the family and, though hi* income* elicited a .K i.J's

to her disadvantage, he eaw there was something too honorable to speak of. This, added to the attractions of one of the ladies, weaned him from Agnes and she soon bad the chagrin of seeing another truant lover united to a family she had always hated and derided.

No one felt these disappointments more keenly than Sarah, who bad no hope for a settlement for herself. She loved her sister, and knew how utterly unfitted ahe was for a life of privation, aueh as awaited them.

Several months after her lest desertion, Agnes became acquainted with a young gentleman, who I distanced all her admirers in his attentiona. He was frank, affectionate, and altogether superior in personal attractiona. to any of her lovere. He really loved Agnes, believing her to befall be wished end, as he had well-founded expectations, she returned bis love right speedily. He would have soon declared himself but for an unforveen carnality. His lather had a fine sest on the Hudaon a few miles from the city, at wbich the family resided the greater part of the year. It was in October, in her fairest mood, and everything around seemed to invite the young to set their blood flowing more merrily in their veins. An excursion to the famify mansion was proposed, and it was unanimously agreed that it ahould be on horseback.— Agnes was delighted. Sarah aat up all night to finish her riding-dress, snd bought her a velvet cap with her hard-earned savings. As she gave the finishing touch to the dress, she inwardly pray, ed that it might soon be displaced by a bridal robe.

The day was all tbey could wish just the right clearness and temperature. They were cordially welcomed at the family mansion, and after partaking of a sumptuous collation, the party returned. Agnes left an unfavorable impreaaion. In ascending to a dressing-room, she had raised her riding habit somewhat high, and thus betrayed to the lady behind her, who was the mother of the lover, a want of neatness exceedingly unbecoming to ao young and beautiful a lady. Tbey had nearly reached home, when Agnes' horse became unmanageable. After many attempts to curb him, he reared, and threw his fair rider. She was taken up senseless, and carried home on a litter, hastily conatructed of a door and some bedding. To avoid suddenly alarming her parents, a young man went ahead to prepare the aervant, who opened the door. Soon as the others arrived ahe led them directly to Agnes' room, and then called Sarah, who was in the basement, and where the rest of the family were assembled.

Agnes was sometime insensible. When she opened her eyes, the docler and her sister were bending over her. All the rest hsd left the room, but not without noticing its slovenly arrangement. After she had aunk into a profound slumber, satisfied that she was doing well, her companions left. The young gentleman called steady until she was quite well. The day after she was well enough to go out, he called to take leave, as he was about to make the tour of Europe with his sister. The next day ho set sail, without one kigh of regret at leaving the fair enslaver. An interview with his mother, and a sight of Agnes' apartment, cured his love.

Sarah silently arrived at the truth. A few months alter they retired to the country, and there for five years Agnes had meditated on the inconstancy of human aflairs. until Lieutenant Stanhope's visit to his parents, who lived near by, threw him in the way of Agne«, to whom he become engaged in less than four months, his term of absence expiring in that time Agnes acted the devoted, aentimental heroine to perfection. The Lieutenant was charmed by her sensibility, and felt his great privilege in possessing such a heart, dreaming that ahe had one. While in New York, he imparted the secret of his attachment, but not his engsgemunt, to a bachelor uncle, whose heir he was to be. He knew his uncle might pardon the first, but would condemn the hsste of the Isst. His relative heard the newa with stolid fortitude. He had some knowledge of the lady, for he was intimately aoquaintad with Mr. Wise, who had told him the cause of his apparent fickleness to the young lady. He was therefore far from pleased with his nephew's selection, but being sn experienced man, he concluded that to oppose the marriage would be the surest way of bringing it about. His nephew would be absent sometime, snd in the interval the ladv might change her mind and marry. 'jTwo weeks after the lieutenant's departure, Agnes accepted an invitation to a picnic and as Sarah was included they both went. They were much pleased with their excursion, especially Agnes, who hsd been distinguished by tha pointed attentions of a gentleman, who, she was informed, possessed great wealth. As her engagement was secret she began to indulge hopes, for she regarded the poor lieutenant a« a mere pi-aller. The next day the stranger called on them, placing a huge boquet on the centre table, as a gift for the ladies. Agnes would have„been better pleased had she been especially designated, but she consoled herself with the thought that It was really meant for her.

In a short time the stranger became quite domes* tioated at Mr. Stacy's. He was so attentive to all the ladies, that it was difficult to understand the motives erf his intimacy. Agnes would have been quite jealous, had Sarah not been lama and her mother blessed with one hurband already. A great change took place in Sarah ahe waa often sad and thoughtful. Usually, under ail circumstances, her spirits bad aa even, cheerful flow, but now, some thing evidently preyed upon her mind. Agnes suspected aha disapproved of her inconstancy to the lieutenant who had alwaya been a favorite with her sister.

Agnes had met the stranger quite hair way. and secretly woradered that he did not propose. Sbe waa well convinced that he was desperately in love with her. Imagine her feelings then when ha aeked her to walk alone with him one fins moonlight night. As she hurried down to tha parlor all equipped for the stroll, Sarah jpassnd bear on the atairs with a letter inber band. Her eyes were awollen with weeping. and ahe was pale and agitated. Agnes was about to question her, whea the voice of the suitor talking in the porch distracted ber Mcatios and hastened her step* to meet ton. Ha was sileft tome time after they sat out At last ha said:

You must hare dieovered dw etai* of my heart lottg ago. Miss Agnea. hope you approve of the dirsotioa my affection kits takeaf* •I can't d«oy it," said.

Agnaa waa aawafc aiataeeA 'JDose reports new Ber ahe asked. J&jMyteuiljh,* implied ha. .*but I have feared that

in this case she only spoke what was the truth. Is it true thst (he gentleman's attachment was not re* turned! that be was attached to you I canot doubt.' '1 have bad several admires:'replied Agnes 'to whom do you refer in particular?' 'Lieutenant Stanhope. Miss Seebright told me it was auspected you were engaged!' 'Mere talk.' said Agnes coolly. 'Poor fell believe be did love me, but 1 never thought of marrying him.. There is no engagement I can as sure you!' 'It is a great relief to me to bear you aay this.— If you would put your denial on paper, I would be hippier. Pardon roe but I am forty-five and whimsical. It would be a satisfaction, for then I should know you are in earneat.' As be apoke he drew her towards a bench under one of the trees and they sat down. Agnes felt he was tier's His jealousy amused her. •And would it make you so very happy?' ahe asked coquetishly. I have half a mind to gratify you.' As she spoke ahe took a card case from her pocket. It was given ber by the Lieutenant and cootained a neat little note book. 'Shall I write it on one of these leaves?' asked ahe opening the book. 'Yotf are too good,' he replied, if! might ask it.'

Agoes panaed a .-moment, then wrote, 'I am not engaged to Lieutenant Stanhope.' 'Will that do, naughty man?' •If it only had your autograph attached. But you are not going to tear that pretty book?' 'Yes, no you shall have book and all. There, is not that sentimental, my autograph and all, by moonlight, too?'

He did not kiss the fair hand that extended the book to him, neither did he fall at her feet and declare his passion, but coolly took out his pocketbook, placed her present in it, put it back, arose, and offered her his arm. 'Poor Lieutenant Stanhope will be quite chagrin ed, I fear, to hear of the marriage of his uncle, whose heir he expected to be. He is a hoble fellow, however, and will hardly think of the loss of wealth, in bia joy for his uncle's happiness.' /Then you know him!' exclaimed Agnes. "Yes, quite intimately* His unole has settled forty thousand dollars on him to console him for his unexpected manage.' 'Who is this unole going to marry?' 'A very amiable, very intellectual lady residing in the country. He is quite a humorist, and took a pique agsinst the whole sex. He resolved never to marry, but his frosty resolutions hsve melted before one of the most lovely of the sex. After all, dear Miss Agnes, we old bachelors are glad to come to matrimony atlastl** .Agnes leaned more heavily on his arm. She was rejoiced to have him return to the subject, for she had fell quite nervous while he talked of others. 'Yes,' continued he, I am satisfied that I shall be happier married. Your father's cordial approval of my suit, makes me most happy. Ahd Sarah, God bless her, I know thinks more of my own joy than her own. She is a heavenly creature, and will be a treasure to the man who wins her.' 'Pity she is lame,' sighed Agnes 'no man would think of her.' •Lame!' cried he, that makes her doubly attractive. But I must not speak so loud for here we are at the gate.'

He opened it for Agnes, ahe entered the court aadly out of humor. 'Only half an offer,' thought she. Skrah met them in the porch. *1 have been extolling the oharms of married life to your sister, I doubt not that my eloquence will induce her to try them. It must have been her own perversity that has prevented so beautiful a lady'a doing it before.'

Sarah blushed deeply, and Agnes' good humor was restored by the compliment. He lingered some time on the porch, and then took his leave. Agnes was speecless with astonishment, when she saw htm draw Sarah towards him and kiss her forehead.

Very brotherly,' said she, as the gsto swung after him/ '4 Have you lieard from tHe Lieutenant lately?, asked Ssrsh gravely. 'Mr. Morris is his uncle?' •Uncle!' cried Agnes, 'why did you ngtteH tlg^efore* His uncle, his rich uncle?'

I did not know it myself until this evening. He handed ms a letter'before he went out with you.— That revealed the secret to me.'

Did that causa you trouble I saw you had been weeping.' •Oh no: father had been talking with me. Mr. Morris had spoken to him. He and mother were so hsppy it r~ode me weap. You did not know, Mr. Morris ww hare all the afternoon while you ware at Mr. Raby'e, did you?* »No I had no suspicion* What Wis hi here tor: to ask pa's consent?' •Yes! How strange it is for me to be your auntl' 'My aunt!' •Yes if I marry Lieutenant Stanhope

Vuncle!'

*Yom marry, him?' 'Did he not tell you? I thought he took you out to talk about it Good Heavens how pale you are! What did ha say to you? Poor man, he must have been too diffident, yet ha particularly request, ed to be allowed to to tell you himself,'

And so it was. Tha anxious uncle tod deter* min«d to trust to no report, but to judge the lsdy himself. He was soon convinced of her utter unworthineas, but he waa much pleased with the modest Sarah. For ber sake ha lingered, although eecretlv disgusted with the advaocas of die self-de* caivad' Agnes. As he was unknown to all in the neighborhood, except the parents of Lieutenant Stanhope who willingly kept bis secret, Agnes Utile suspected tha presence of a foe, for such ha felt himself to ha. 1*

Home and Women.

If ever there haa been a more touching and eloquent eulogium upon the charma of home, and its dearest treasure, woman, than ia contained in the following extract from the Inquirer, it haa not been our good fortune to meet it:

Our homes

.••Sit

what is their corner stone but the

virtue of women? And on what does the social well-being rest but on our hemes? Must we not trace all other blessings of civilized life to the door of our private dwellings? Are not our hearth stones guarded by the holy forms of conjugal, filial and parental love, the corner stones of Churoh Slate—more sacred than either—moie necessary than both? Let our Temples crumble, nnd our academies decay—let every public edifice, our halls of justice, and our capitolsof State, be leveled with the dust—but spare our home. Man did not invent, and he cannot improve or abrogate them A private shelter to cover in two hearts dearer to each other than all the world high walls to ex elude the profane eyes of every human being—se elusion enough for children to feel that mother is a peculiar name—this is home, and here is tha birth place of every virtuous impulse of every sacred thought. Here the Church and the State must come for their origin and aupport. Ohl spare our homes! The love we experience there gives us our faith in an intimate goodness the purity and disinterested tenderness of home is our earnest of abetter world. In the relations there established and fostered, do we find through life the chief solace and joy of existence. What friends deserve the name compared with tliose whom a birthright gave us? One mother is worth a thousand friends—one sister dearer than twenty intimate companions. We who have played on the same hearth, under the light smiles, who date back to the same season of innocence and hope, in whose veins run the same blood, do we not find that years only make more sacred and important the tie that binds? Coldness may spring up, distance may separate, different aherea may divide but those who continue to love at all, must find that the friends who God himself gave, are wholly unlike any we choose for ourselves, and that the yearning for these is the strongest spark in our expiring affection.'

A Paris paper gives the following amuaing story: A fe*v days since a great parsonage of foreign birth, wishing to travel to Austria, sent to the office of Legation for a passport. He wished to take a horse ana a servant with him and ordered his Secretary to attend to the matter. The secretary proceeded to tha office of tha Legation.

Tha servant will give ua no trouble, said tha chief clerk but the horse. Well, what of him! aaid the secretary. Certain formalities must be executed. Horses are not allowed to enter Austria if not men. tioned in their owners passport and particularly described. Give tne an idea of the prince's horse. I cannot, I know nothing about him. But 111 send the groom to you. Very well, thst will do. said the clerk. Tha secretary took his departure,

In tha meantime the clerk thought he might aa well fill up the blanks of the passport. There was a apace originally left in the document after the following paaaage: The civil and military authorities will let pass freely and without hinderance, Monsieur (here the name and titles of the traveler) bis servant 'name of servant) and his horse going to and wiil give them aid and protection in case of need.

The clerk presented the passport to the minister to sign, and than handed it to a young assistant in the office-—a new comer and rather vwdant, it appears—leiling him who the passport was for, aad, that whan the groom came, to be sure and put down

Still Wousb.— Mr. McCarty tells the people, in his speeches, that he voted»against the 13th article of the Constitution. This is, if possible, worse than opposing the Compromise Measures. Will our whig friends vote for a man that ia in favor of free negroes coming into the Slate? Judging from the way they voted upon the 13th article of the Coitsti tution, they will not.—Paoli Eagle.

Greely's latest hit at Fillmore is the following: '•We are assured, under Mr. Clay's own hand that he decidedly prefers Mr. Fillmore as the whig can didate for re-election while Gov. Foote positively reiterates at tho South that "Mr.Clay did and does prefer Gen. Cass to any other living man, Whig or Democrat, for Preaident." We don't believe Mr. Clay ever expressed such a preference for General Cass but if he did, we aee no inconsistency be* tween the two preferences."

Penalties.

The penalty of buying cheap clothes, is the same as that of going to law—the csrtsinty of losing your auit and having to pay for It.

The penalty of marrying is a mother-in-law. The penalty of remaining singls, is having no one 'who oarea a button* for you, as ia abundantly proved by the stale of your shirt.

The penalty of thin shoes, is cold. The penslty of pretty cook is an empty larder. The penalty of stopping in Paris, is being shot. The penalty of tight boots i* oorns. The penalty of having a haunch of venison sent to you, is inviting a dozen frienda, to ooma and eat it.

The penalty of popularity ia envy. The penalty of a baby, is sleepless nights. The penalty of interfering between man and wife, is abuse, frequently accompanied by blows from both

Tha penalty of a godfather, is a silver kntfe, fork and spoon. The penalty of kissing a baby, is half a crown (five shillings if you are liberal,) to tha nurse.

Wow't Takb Down this VVav.—Mr. McCarty. the whig candidate for Governor, says, if he had been in Congress, he would have voted against the Compromise Measures. What will our whig frienda in this region, say to this? Will they, or can they vote for a man who ia oppnaed to the Compromise Measures? McCarty's object ia to secure the Free Soil and Abolition vote. Thank God. Southern Indiana haa but very few auch cattle in it and while McCarty ia playing Free-Soiler in the North, to get their votes, he wiil lose thousands of whig votes in the South. Nine out of ten of'.he wliigs in this part of the State, are in favor of tho Compro' mise Measures, and we have no idea they will sup port a man that ia opposed to them.

The Christian Statessun—Dr. Channing has leA us the following portrait of a true Statesman: •The first duty of a Stateeman is to build up tho mors] energy ot a people. Thia is their first interest. and ha who weakens it, in.liota an injury which no talent can repair nor ahould any'splendor of services, or any momentary success, avert from him the infamy which he has earned. Let public men think more reverently of their functions. Let them feel that tbey are touching more vital interest* than property. Let them fear nothing so mu^li as to sap the moral convictions of a people by unrighteous legislation or a aelfish policy. Let tliout cultivate in themselves a spirit of religion. Let no apparent advantages to the commuuity, any more than to themselves, seduce them to tha infraction of any moral law. Let them put foith in virtue a* tha strength of nations. Let tnem not be disheartened by temporary ill success in upright exertion. Let them remember that, while they and their cn. temporaries live but for a day, the State is to live for ages and that Time, tha unerring arbiter, will vindicate the wisdom aa well as magnanimity of the public man who, oonfiding in the power of truth, justioe, and philanthrophy, asserts their claims, and reverentially follows their monition*, amidst general disloyalty and corruption.'

Go Thou and Do Likewise —Polly get my over, coat, riding whip and pocket book—I must go right off ana pay tne printer for my newspaper before I forget it again* Ue has trusted ma more thsn a year.'

4Jacob,*

said his good wife, 'the weather and

roads are too bad to travel to day, and I would not give my consent for you to go out on any other business than this. The printer ought to be paid regularly, and I don't know what any body meant to make him wait ao long as some do, Always pa* in advance. Jacob, and then your paper is paid for. That's my doctrine.' •That is a noble right thinking woman, and were she a widow, she wouM not be single six months.

The Son of an Editor.— Mr. McCsrty, the editor of the Padnuah (Ky Journal, has a fino son some six weeks of age. In a late number of his Journal, the proud father thus speaks of his offspring: •McCarty, Jr., does not meddle much in politics, and is silent upon most vexed things of tne day, but from indications we are inclined to think he is not for Scott. In faot, alter we filled for him the oup of whisky tody which he emptied with graoe and dexterity, he cocked up hia eye, and said as plainly aa youth could say, 'Fillmore.'

Hardest Case Yet.—A few nights einos, a journeyman printer in this city had made preparetiona to be married but strange to aay, the poor fellow was on a morning paper, and could not get •sub.' Business was orowalng at the ofHoe, and he must attend to work aothe parson waa sent for, the rite* performed, and the poor jour had to leave his wife, go to the office, 'and work all night, till broad day light, and go home to his wife in the morning.'—Boston Bee.

Beacties of the Law.—There is now pending in one of the courts of New York, saya the Tribune. a suit brought by the city against a ship owner from the sum of 68 cents, and this vary suit in the equity of whioh not the first move has been made, there has been about three hundred dollars charged as costs! This is but one of tha whole brood which will one day show the most bare faccd robbery of the litigants.

A Doctor as is a Doctor.

A self sufficient humbug, who took up the business of a physician, and prrtended to deep know, ledge of tho healing art, was once oalled to visit a young man afflicted with apoplexy. Bolus gazed long sod hard, felt his pulsa and pocket, looked at hia tongue, and his wife, and finally gave vent to tho following sublime opinion:

I think he's a gone feller." ••No, no I" exclaimed the sorrowful wife, "do not say that."

Yea," returned Bolus, lifting up hia hat and ayes heavenward at Ihe same time, "yes, I do say so there aint no hope, not the leastett might lies got an attack of.nihil fit in his lost frnntis—" "Where?" cried the startled wife.

In his lost frontis, and he oan't be cured with' out aome trouble and a great deal of pains. You see hia whole planetary system ia deranged fustly, hia vox populi is pressing on his ad valorum secondly, his cutacarpial cutaneous has swelled considerably, if not more thirdly and laatly, hia aolar ribs are in a concussed slate, snd he ain't got sny money, consequently he's bound to die."

A oertain lawyer, onoe upon a time, was in tho midet of a "htgh-falutin" yeech, when, several steps this side of the cap-alone of his olimax, he stammered, hesitated, and slops—like a man daspairing to attain the summit of a pyramid. Of course his suspence was terrible distressing but in the midst of il, a plain matter-of-fact farmer, crying out, "lost ball!" the aympa^hefe audience buret into a roar of laughter, ana ihe poor lawyer sank into his seat, utterly annihilated! "Lost ball," in the section of country in whioh he resided hat passed into a proverb, and tha two words ara sufficient to otieck any would be orstor, who attemps a fluency of Sophomorio bombasts**

Tike to 8Tor—Speaking of courting rem:ns us of a little incident that occurred In our city 'onoe upon a time.' A close fisted old codger had a likely daughter, whoaa opening charms attracted ihe atieotion of a certain nice young man* AAer aome little manuvering, he ventured to of»en a' courjship. On the first night of his appearance in the parlor the old man, after dosing in hisebair until aine o'clock, arose and putting a log of wood on the fire, aaid aa ha l#A the room
