? ?? " r TT^-T : -~T -~T. -- . -~T. Read This, Young Ladies. We , beard a very pretty incident the other day, which wo cannot help relating. A young lady from, th? South, it seems, was woqpi] uYfUwon by a youthful physician living in Cal California. - ifornia. California. , When the engagement was made the doctor was riohf bavins been very successful at* San Francis Francisco*" - co*" Francisco*" It had not existed marf) than six months, hovever, when, by^an uu uufortunate - fortunate uufortunate investment he lost the en entiro - tiro entiro "heap." .This event came upon him, should be added., just as lie was about to claim his bride. What does ho do? Why, like an honorable and chivalrous young fellow as he is, ho sits down and writes the lady every particular of the unhappy turn which has, taken plucc in his fortunes, as assuring - suring assuring her that if tho fact produced a change in her feelings toward him, sho is released from every protrude she has ever made him. And what does the. dear, good glii? Why, she takes a.lump of pure gold which her.' lover had sent her in his prosperity as a keepsake, arrd having it manu manufactured - factured manufactured into, a ring, forwarded it to him with the following Bible inscrip inscription - tion inscription engraved in distinct characters on the outside : v Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from follow following - ing following after thee ; for whither thou goest will I go, and whither thou lodgest will I lodge ; thy people will be my people and thy (Jod my God; where thou diest will I die, and' there will I be buried ; the Lord do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part ire and thee." The lover idolized bis sweetheart more than ever when he icceivcd this precious evidence of her devotion to him both in storm apd BUnshino. We may add that for-1 tune soon again smiled upon the young physician, and he subsequent subsequently - ly subsequently returned to'tho South to wed the sweet girl ho loved, and who loved him with such undying affection. Reader, this is all true. Young la ladies - dies ladies who read the Bible as closely as the heroine of this incident seems to have done are pretty sure to make good sweethearts and betler .wives. Too hjot for Him. During the Confederate war, one Jjm was attached to Rosser's cavalry, in Stuarts command. Jim was noted for his stroug antipathy to shot and shell, and a peculiar way he had of avoiding loo ? close communication with the same ;. but at last all his plans failed to keep him out of the "row," and he, wilh his companions, was detailed to support a battery that composed a poition of the rear-guard. The enemy kept pressing so close, in fact, as to endanger the retreating forces, and tho troops covering the retreat had orders to beep the enemy in check for a given period at all haz hazards. - ards. hazards. Jim grew desperate under the galling lire. lie placed himself in every position his genius could in invent, - vent, invent, but the "hiss" of the bullet haunted him still. At last, in despair, he called to tho commanding ofllcer, "Lieutenant, let's fall back!" "I cannot do it, Jim !" shoutod the olll olllcer. - cer. olllcer. "Well, I'll be tlraftpd if we don't get cleaned if we stay here 1" "My orders, Jim, arc to hold this place and support that battery of guns?" pointing to tho artillery close by. "If wc fall back, the ene enemy - my enemy will rush in and capture the guns." Just at that instant a well directed bullet impressed Jim with the fact that a chango of base was uccessary. Jim found another appa apparently - rently apparently protected spot, and as soon as he had recovered his mind, lie sang outj "Oh, Lieutenant, what do you think them cannon coRt?" "J[ don't know, Jim ; I suppose one thousand dollars." "Well," said Jim, "let's start a collection and pay for the darned guns, and let tho Yankees have 'em !" Confederate Money Wanted. We copy tho following from an ex exchange, - change, exchange, as of interest to those hold holding - ing holding the notes in question : "Confed "Confederate - erate "Confederate money issued in 1861 is eager eagerly - ly eagerly sought after by 'curiosity' hunters ; notes issued at Montgomery, Aln., of the denominations of 850, 810?, $500 and 81,000 being tho rarest. A set of these notes in good condition will readily sell for 8100 in gold. Next in value are notes engraved by the Southern Bank Note Company, In 18G1. One of thtso?a twenty dollar note?with an engraving rep representing - resenting representing a female riding a deer, is worth its face value in gold. Some of the issues of 1802 are worth some something; - thing; something; but after that year tho issue of ('Onfcdcratc States money is scarcely "worth preserving."

Favoritism. A correspondent of tho News and Courier, writing from Blackvillc, lias this to say : "I think I know that it is high time in South Carolina, where v^p cry tso much for civil ser service - vice service reform, that somo other qualifi qualification - cation qualification than favoritism should be re required - quired required wjjen qq ofllce Is to be filled, either by appointment or election. This thing of filling important offices with men wu,q are altogether incom incompetent - petent incompetent to discharge the duties requir required - ed required by them, simply because they need help or have donp something in some other line that entitled them to tho well-wishes of their fellow citizens, it is a growing public evil. It is turning the Government i,nto a vast eleemosynary asylum, ami will inevi inevitably - tably inevitably bring it to grief. A man may be able to shoe a horse capitally, but. that is no evidence that he will excel as a portrait, painter, Let favoritism stand back and fill the public offices with men who can work them success successfully - fully successfully and to the best advantage for public, and our State will begin to prosper." Wo do not know to what appointment the correspondent re refers, - fers, refers, remarks the Abbeville Medium, but we have heard aomctliing of the kind, hinted at on several occasions wi?hin the last few years. If there is any just ground for such a com complaint - plaint complaint the cause should be removed at once, because we now need and should have the "best men" in office. By' Vbest men*' wc do not mean par particularly - ticularly particularly that class who presume upon past distinctions and conditions (or their passport to official position, but only such' as arp capable and can really perform the duties of their teveral positions. So let us have our "best men" and no favoritism. ? Sorry Spoctacle. The Congress of the United Stales protracted its session throughout the last Lord's day, drinking whisky out outside - side outside and talking and hammering away within, just the same as if that God who rules over earth's senates .and in thu armies of heaven had not issued this solemn mandate, "Remem "Remember - ber "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." What a pit}' our national lawrgivcrs had not made better use of thoir time previously by refusing to adjourn for a ten days' holiday at Christmas, and wasting besides many precious hours in buncombe speeches and frivolous sparring; in the very teeth, too, of the knowledge that hundreds of im important - portant important bills must be acted upon bp bpfore - fore bpfore the 4th of March. Wp are not advised how many Christian men there arc on the rolls of Congress, but only wish if Ihcre had been a sufficient number to break the quorum all such had retired, leav leaving - ing leaving everything in statu quo. The President could then have summoned an extra session on the (Kb instant, for the completion forthwith of the unfinished business of the country. Would not this have been preferable to such a palpable vio|atio. of God"? commands by the rulers ol the na natron - tron natron ? What a damaging example has been set to all lesser tribqnqls and individ individuals - uals individuals upon the prqper observance of tho Sabbath ! If the Bible be true, and Jehovah, though a just U nlso a jealous God, no people can hope to prosper who thus in high places trample mulcr foot and despise Iiis pronounced and sacred ordinances.?Mucon Telegraph and Messenger. Tin: Baltimore American got up a very pretty story of the way in which the dusky Mrs. Bruce was being lion lionized - ized lionized by Washington society. But comes ruthless truth-tellers to say the article is a pure invention, that none of the Cabinet ladies or Sena Senators' - tors' Senators' wives had called on the beaute beauteous - ous beauteous octoroon, and that they don't in intend - tend intend to. Bruce seems to be a vpry quiet, well-behaved fello.v, antf jt is a pity that Radical correspondents will not sulfcr him to remain in the obscurity he seeks^ and which hp so creditably adorns. "You know," saul Rice, "how the negro likes 'possum." Two darkies were riding from a field after a hard day's ploughing. They began to tallf about the things good to eat. 4 What do you s ly to tlis?' said one.

After leaving port they experienced terrific weath weathor, - or, weathor, tho wind being very high, and lay . to for three days, waiting for the fury of tho storm to subside.

On tbe fourth day a barrel ch chappies - appies chappies floated from the forp hold,, which they succeeded in capturing..

Never burn kip.dly written letters.;, it is pleasant to rea/l them oyer when the ink is brown, the paper yellow with age, and the gentle hands that traced the friendly words are folded over the hearts that prompted, them under the green sod. Above all, ncycr burn love letters. Thread them in after years is like a resurrection of one's youth.

Burn only (he hai.sh ones, and in burning them, forgive and forget them.

He was in court when Ilabron was sentenced to death. 1 he Manchester newspapers and discrepancies be between - tween between the statements of Peace and the circumstances of the WaJle87 grange murdci. It is belicVetl that Peace sought to prolong his pending an investigation of his statements concerning the murder of the police policeman. - man. policeman. But Peace persisted in his statement to the last moment. The Home Ollicc has begun an inquiry iulo the case of Ilabron. The story of Peace's career would fill a volume and has already filled a great many columns of the English newspapers. He conducted his pro profession - fession profession as a burglar alone. Settling down in one town after another, he led an apparently sober and quiet life, spending the days placing relig religious - ious religious times on a violin or some other musical instrument or carving wood wooden - en wooden saints and giving un impicssion that he was a man of independent means. At dusk be sallied forth to "crab*cribs," not hesitating to shoot any man or other creature that came between him and his escape. At Melton Mowbray, some years ago, he carried off 825,000 worth of plate and jewels. Ho plundered York House, Sheffield, of $2,000 worth of lace and skins. After ransacking one town after another he settled in Blackhcatb, and the newspapers teemed with stories of robberies com committed - mitted committed there. One night, however, an officer fell upon him while at work and a desperato fight took place. Peace fired five shots, wounding the officer in the leg, and then stabbing him with a long knife, but be could not get away from him, The burglar was found to be an oldish man, only five feet four inches tall, and of slight but wiry build. lie was convicted of burglaiy and condemned to a long term of imprisonment, but before be being - ing being conveyed to prison a patient in investigation - vestigation investigation of his career was under undertaken, - taken, undertaken, and resulted in the discovery that be was the man for whom the police had been searching every quarter of the world for the murder of Arthur Dyson, a civil engineer, in November, 1870. Peace bad been in love with Mrs. Dyson, ajiyVmerican woman, and had followed her about item place Lo place. Her husband forbade him the house, and he threat threatened - ened threatened in return to take Dyson's life. He uccosted Mrs. Dyson in the yaru of their house in l$anncrcross. She screamed and bar husband came to the spot and Peace shot him, scaled the garden wall and escaped. Dyson was engaged*with Sir Mor Morton - ton Morton Pcto in the building of the Atlan Atlantic - tic Atlantic and Great Western Bail way. He also had charge of tho construction of the Vandnlia and Terro Haute, tho Iron Mountain, and hud something to do with the Lake Shore Uoad. The Grand Trunk Railway of Canada was also constructed under his man management. - agement. management.

One of his guards caught him by the foot as he went out and held on in spite of his wriggling and kicking. Finally Peace struggled out of his boot and fell stunned and bleeding alongside the track, and there was found by the guards when the train was stopped, and they had lo go back to the plaOQ where he fell When in prison the authorities compelled him' to take medicine, ho mado the walls ring with "murder." '

it was no use. When' the Judge started for town, Dr. Graham was sitting beside him. The Judge saved him the trouble of broaching the sub-1 .jeofc by starting it himself: "I always, young man, give Nell her own way ; so it is all right; 3'ou need not say a word." "But Pvc got to go on t?-day." The Judgp turned his eyes toward him. He had an Arkansas. bowjo in each, and one of those double-barrel shot-gun looks as he said: "You ain't a-trying to get but of it, are you V" The doctor taking in the situation, said promptly, all hone being gone, "No, sir." "That's right. I will fix every everything - thing everything for you ; give you that black team of mine, and a light wag wagon - on wagon to carry your wife's things," (here the doctor shuddered,) "and a thous thousand - and thousand as a starter. You can be married to-night and leave early in the morn morning. - ing. morning. That'll suit, won't it?" "Y"cs, sir," answered Graham, faintly. But on the Judge turning toward him, he said "Y"es, sir, cer certainly." - tainly." certainly." ?.'After you get fixed at your post I will come down and pay you a visit. I have been thinking about selling out and moving to Texas for some time ; it's getting crowded here and things are a moving as slow as lasses \n the winter time." Things were arranged as the old Judge said. The marriage took place and the army received an addition to its ladies in the person of the Ar Arkansas - kansas Arkansas judge's daughter, and Dr. Graham has never regretted the ob obduracy - duracy obduracy of his father-in-law or the un unsophisticatedness - sophisticatedness unsophisticatedness of his wife.? Har Harper's - per's Harper's Magazine. Family Atfection. We can imagine no condition that carries with it such a promise of joy as the farmer in the autumn ; with his cribs full, with every preparation mado for the winter, with the pros prospect - pect prospect of three months of comfort and rest, three months of fireside and content, three months of family and home, three months of pure, solid comfort. Make your home comforta comfortable. - ble. comfortable. Do not huddle together in a little room overheated, with every window fastened down. Do nof, live in this poisoned air, and thcu when one of your children dies, put a piece in your paper commenciong with, VWbcrcas, it hath pleased Providence to remove from our midst?:-." Have plenty of air and plenty of warmth. Let your children sleep. Do not drag them from their beds in the darkness of night. Treat them with infinite kindness. There is no happiness pi a house not filled with love ; where a man hates the wife, or the wife the husband ; where children fear their parents, or where parents dislike their children. Every such home is simply a hell upon earth. There is no reason why farmers should not be refined and kind. There is nothing in the cultivation of the soil to make men cross, crabbed and unjust. To look upon the sunny slopes covered with daisies, does not tend to make men cruel. Whoever labors for the happiness of those he loves, elevates himself, whether he works in tho shop or. plows in the perfumed fields. Give It to 'Em in Latin. It is an oft-spoken whim of the cynics;?and posssibly something more?that tho doctors give their prescriptions in Latin, so as to afford ignorant patients the benefit of a lit little - tle little imagination. Bolus panificus sounds a good deal more important than bread pill. Somo years ago in the Rhode Island Legislature a mem member - ber member moved to translate all the Latin phrases in the statutes, so that the people may understand them. A Mr. Uplike took the ground that it was no advantage to have the people un understand - derstand understand the laws. Ho said they were not afraid of anything they un understood. - derstood. understood. That it was tho words they were afraid of, and proceeded to illustrate his position as follows; "Mr. Speaker, there was a man in South Kingston about twenty years ago who was a perfect nuisance, and nobody knew how to get rid of him. One day he was hoeing corn, and he saw tho sheriff coming with a paper, and asked what it was. Now if he had said it was a writ, what would behave cared? But he told him It was capias satisfacienditm, and the man dropped his hoe and ran, and had never been hoard of since."

DRYCJUIL1 Jl'S GOUnTSlilP. ?f ?o?"'? HOW A. LOUISVILLE SCIENTIST MET HIS FATE IN ARKANSAS. Dr. Graham having passed a very creditable examination beforo tbe medical board, was commissioned an I assistant surgeon in the,United Stales army in 18?, and ordered to report for duty to the commanding officer at Fort McKavett, Texas. There were no railroads in the Western country at that time, and the usuai way of getting to Texas was by .the Mississippi river to New Orleans, and (hen crossing the gulf to stage it up through tho State. I>r. Graham was yery desirous of cxamiuing the Wes Western - tern Western country mineralogically, so ap applied - plied applied and received permission from \he War Department to go by way pf Arkansas and Indian Territory to his post. On his arrival at St. Louis ho shipped the greater part of his bag bagpage - page bagpage by way of tho river, and taking only what he could carry on horse horseback, - back, horseback, started on his journey. While }n St. Louis, at the Planter's Hotel, he formed the acquaintance of a gen gentleman - tleman gentleman who learning where he was going gave him a letter of introduc introduction - tion introduction to his brother, who was a farmer living on his route in Arkansas. It }8 not necessary for us to follow him pn his road, or tell what discoveries be made in the interest of science ; sufficient it is that one day toward dusk he reached the house of the gen gentleman - tleman gentleman to whom he had the letter, and, dismounting, knocked at the door and presented his letter to the Judge, (even in those days every one was Judge in Arkansas), who would not haye needed it to have accorded him an open-handed welcome; for travellers were a God-send, and news was as much sought after then as now. After a short visit he proposed to go on to the next town, about four piilcs off, where he intended to put Up for the night. The Judge would not listen to his leaving, and was so cordial in his desire for him to stay that; he would have beeu rude not to haye done so. The Judge, after di di- - - di- yectimj one of the servants to attena to' hiS horse, invited him into the fining-room, where he was introduced to tlic' wife and daughter of his host, and also a substantial Western sup supper, - per, supper, to which he did ample justice. ' After supper they adjourned to the parlor, and he entertained his new piade friends with the latest news from the outside world. The old pouple retired and left their daughter to entertain him, and he made hot love to her, and finally asked her to be his wife and go to Texas with him ; to which she consented. She being very unsophisticated and innocent, took everything he said in down right earnest, and with her it was a case of **love at first sight." But I am anticipating. During the night our friend, the doctor, woke up and remembered what he had said, and it worried him ; but he said to himself, after emptying his Water pitcher, "never mind ; I'll make }t all right in the morning. I must have made a fool of myself. She's Jovely ; but what must she think of me 1" and rolled over and went to sleep again. Morning came and upon his going down to the parlor he found the young lady, alone, for! 'which he blessed his lucky stars, and J was just about to make an apology, when she said; "I told Mamma, and bIic said it Was all right," at tbe same time giving him a kiss which nearly took his breath away. "Papa is going to town this morning, dear, and you ride in with him and talk it over; put he won't object, I know." "But, my dear Miss, I was very foolish, and?" VNo, indeed ; you are all right." "Well, I will go to my post, and Return for you ; for I must go on at once." "No; I can go with you." "You won't have time." "O yes I will. Papa, will fix that. Jt would bp suph ah expense for you come all the way back here." "ButI havo no way of taking you." "I have thought of that; that does not make any difference. Father Will give us a team." With nearly tears in his eyes he went in to breakfast, to which at that moment they were both summoned ; l>ut, alas I appetite he had none. It was not that she was not pretty and nice; but ho thought what a con confounded - founded confounded fool she must be not to see that he wanted to get out of it. But

CLOSE Ol' A SINFUL lilP?^ TUB DEGRADED DAUGHTER OF I'II1LA: ?KLl'HIA . MILLIONAIRE DIES.' A WRETCHED DEATH. A Pittsburg correspondent writes; Annie Dawson, euinciatcd, diseased and Dlth-covered, dropped dead at .Claremont station this forenoon when being removed from tho cars to the w?rk;h?use. Her history is one of the saddest romances. Her deserted homo in Philadelphia is that of one of the wealthy iron manufacturers there, for she wna the daughter of the well-known Edward YJ Dawson. Fifteen years ag'o Annie Dawson, then a young woman of 20, deserted her* home and friends" in the City of Brotherly Love, and, in company with a fastidious ^gentleman,; came hero to, lead a life of shame. Her ad advent1 - vent1 advent1 in Pittsburg caused a ripple of excitement among the demi-monde, for she was strikingly beautiful and possessed of an education Hint was so far in advance of the accomplish accomplishments - ments accomplishments of her sisters in sin that from the first she was looked up lo as an Aspasia among them. The favor with which she was received on all sides was marked, and the very best that' money could buy or enamored humanity could bestow fell at her feet. ' She reigned queen of them all in the wild whirl ol pleasure and ex excitemcut - citemcut excitemcut in which tho beautiful girl hud engulfed herself. Home, mother, father, sisters, brothers and all were forgotten, and all that should be near and dear was cast aside like a, wppi wppiout - out wppiout toy. As years passed, champagne and wakeful nights told on the woman, and, inch by inch, her beauty and power slipped from her grasp. Her wine-flushed face became lejs alluring and those who were once all gallant and ever ready and -jealous to dance attendance at her shrine, sought more attractive prey. The? maison d>; joie of tho upper order had no further use for the waning belle, and, at a loss to know why she was no longer wanted she stepped down and out. A dozen doors of less famous bagn bagnios - ios bagnios stood invitingly open to the once famo'us attraction. Her diamonds and silks were gone?faded away with her beauty' as did her friends. Cheap wine and whisky took the place of the sparkling glass, and down, down, the woman went, and in tiipc stepped into the street a de debauched - bauched debauched and degraded sister, spoken of U3 the once famous "Annie" by more fortunate syrens, but unrecog unrecognized - nized unrecognized by them, and passed as a con contaminating - taminating contaminating outcast with a shrug. With other things she lost her name, and the vulgar called her uReddy.'" The streets and low dives were "Roddy's" home, and cheap rum and curses her principal stimulants. In the past years she has been ar arrested - rested arrested more than a hundred times. Last night she called at the house and asked for lodging for the night. This morning she said she had been discharged from Claremont about fil filtccn - tccn filtccn days since, and, as she had no home, she desired to be sent back. Her wish was complied with, and a commitment for sixty days wns made out. She was sent up with other prisoners, and just when the train reached the station at Claremont she fell dead. Her relatives in Philadel Philadelphia - phia Philadelphia have been notified, and signified their intention to bury her properly. He Wanted Her Insured. A good-natured looking voung man of twenty-live, occompanicd by a modest appearing young woman of about the same age, evidently his wife and just made so, yesterday call called - ed called upon a Griswnld street insurance agent to see about insuring her life. After some preliminary conversation the agent inquired what sum they had in mind. "I want hpr insured for at least a million dollars," promptly replied the husband) as he reached over and patted her 011 the head. Tbp agent figured up the premium and, staled the amount. The wife turned palo ns death, and the hus husband - band husband lost a pound of flesh a minute. '?But take a smaller sum, say live or ten thousand dollars," suggested the agent. u>$ot a cent }eas'n a million 1" ex exclaimed - claimed exclaimed the husband. ulf she ain't worth th.it sho ain't worth nothing, ami as I can't chalk up for a million we'll go." And go they did, stopping neither for argument or good wishes.
