All bsshful lads and modest ~lassies will
doubtless be grateful for the information:
At a wedding recently celebrated, were
some twenty-five young persons, all ofthem
in a condition which, for various reasons,
generally regarded as undesirable, viz.
the unengaged. One of the gentlemen of
the party suspected tie prevalence among
them offeelings that might easily be exchan-
ged for others infinitely more fixed and a.
greeable. He accordingly proposed the
selection of a president, a person worthy of
all confidence whose duty it should be to
from each individual a folded pa
per, inscribed with the name of another
person of the other sex, whom the first
be willing to marry. The president,
in addition to the restraints of his own sense
ofhonor was to be put under solemn pledge
IF eternal secrecy. All who refused to accede
the proposition, were for the time, to
the room. Those whose choice was
reciprocal, that is whose papers contained
the sam two names, were to be privately
informed; while the selection of the others
we're to remain undisclosed. The result
was that the trial was made-aii shared in

PUSH ONi-The following extract from
the writings of John Neal, may have me
the eyes ofmany of our readers before, but
it is worth repeating, al t!,e truths it co.,
veys are worth rememberin,:-2cp.
"Th"re are people who, having begun
life by setting their boat against wind and
tide, are always complaining of their bad
luck, and always just ready to give up, and
for that very reason always helpless and
good for nothing and yet, if they would
perserve, hard as it may be to work up
stream all life long, they would have their
reward at last. Good voyages arc made
both ways.
ga certain amount of Opposition is a great
help to man. Kites rise against, not Will
with the wind. Even a head wind is better
than nothing. Nc man ever worked his voy-
age anywhere in a dead calm. The best
wind for anythingi / the long run, is a wide
wind. If it blowcth, how is lie to get back?.
"Letno man wax pale, therefore, because
of opposition. Opposition is what he wants.
and must have to be good for anything
Hardship is the native soil of manhood and
selC-reliance. He that cannot abide the
storm without finching or quailing, strips
himselfin the sunshine, and lays down byI
the way-side, to be overlooked and forgot
ten.
"He who but braces himself up to the
struggle, when the winds blow, gives up
when they are done and falls asleep in the
stiffness that follows.

TThere are SPECTATORS in our county
offering to engage the coming crop of Wheat
at se~venty-fve cents per bushel. And We
think from the present aspect of things, they
are justifable and safe in so doing. The
present crop will be far short of an average
and the Granarics Of both Europe and A
merica are exhausted, besides the great
demand that will be created by the present
war with Mexico. From these causes we
feel safe i'll predicting that the prices ofthe
new crop will open at. so cent to SI,O0

IHE FRESHMAN THAT LOADED THE GrN.-
MIR. d., in the town of WeathcrSfcld, Con-
necticut was applied to by all IrisLman for
the loan of his gun for a day. Pat was I'M
acquainted with its use, and enqnired of
Mr.. ID. how TO load it? ID. supposing that
he was quizzing. said that he generally put
in two feet of powder and shot altogether.
The lrishman took the gun ant started for
the field; when he vas c~leverly out of 81 ,It
he commenced loading his gun. by the
powers, an | pity the man that finds a plin-
ty;' was his soIlloquy as he emptied til,
contents of his powder flask into the bar
rel. He found on putting down the wad
the two feet were coming short. Next he
cmptied his shot-pcuch into the barrel, and
found that all his ammunition made only a
foot and a half of load altogether. As luck
would have it, Pat did not find anything in
the shape of lawful game to empty at so
he brought up to Mr.. DIS. with the gun in
prime condition. No questions being ask
ed of honest Pat respecting his luck, the
gun was laid aside and forgotten.
A few days after d. had occasion to use
his gun; being in haste, he glanced at the
cock, and seeing that it was capped, he
pulled the trigger at his object; the consc-
quences may be imagined. The gun burst
into pieces 'too numerous to mention and
the unfortunate joker found himself, after
an indefinite space of time, looking at the
stars as well as he could, with one eve
'bunged tight and his nose enquiring the
way over his shoulder! His first thought
was vengeance on the Irishman. When heI
him he commenced enquiries as toI
what the devil he had been doing with his
gun-'you blasted bog-trotter, you put inl
powder enough to blow up all the castles
in Mexicor Pat not understanding him,
and surprising he had not put in powder e.
nough, ~replied-'Ah' sure, ] put in all the
and shot lad, an it was full eigh-
teen inches load; if that was not enough,
sure | couldn't help it. Faith, an you'll
be plaised to load yer own gun next time.

SUNDAY EVENING.

How calm and sweet this holy eve
Comes stealing DER the day,
Lifting the feelings and the thoughts,
From earth to heaven away.
In whispers low, the soft south wind
Along the forest grievcs,
Or sti-s the wild and fragrant rose,
Beneath It's brilliant leaves.
Softly yon rich and changing clouds
Sink in the glowing west,
Their fitting forms, like gorgeous shrOuds
Mirrored in Oceans breast,
One large pale star, set mid the deep,
Dark azure of the SKY,
Looks down upon this quiet eve,
With calm and radient eye.
My spirit on uplifted wing
Scars heaven-ward to night,
And lists to catch the seraph hymn
That fancy wakes so light.

And where shall / then be?

HEMP IN TIE WEsT.-A letter from q
gentleman in St. st. Louis, to his friend il
Cincinnati, gives the following:
"The most carefully formed estimates OF
the hemp crop of the Missouri river, give
the product this year as, in round numbers,
$4,000 tom" Add to this the product Of
the whole west beside, which may be set
down at 10000 tons, and you have an g.
mount equal to 10000 tons--from this de-
duct the quantity used in the west in man
~ufactures, say 1900 tons, and you have
for export from Is to 10000 tons, or more
than equal to the requirements of our north
crn ~seaports, and leaving a considerable
quantity for export. ,
The Maysville Eagle, in which we find
the above, adds the following:
From the best information we have at
our commend, we set down the crop of
hemp raised the last season in Mason coun-
ty at 2,500-in the years 1915, the
crop was estimated at near 1000 tons
Fleming county, last year only raised about
1000 tons, a falling off of one-half from
two previous years. We have no
means of estimating with any accuracy,
amount grown in other ~hemp-raising
counties of the State. We incline to the
however, that The st. Louis letter
writer has overrated the crop of last season.
We believe it would have been found made
quate TO the demand, and therefore have
a much higher price than has been
paid ~latterly, but for the large amount ly-
over from the crops of other years, in
The hands of individuals who were able to
iolL on to it, and who would not sell but for
a good price.

"B"y q coQt, Sir.'" replied the Jew.
The words were scarcely uttered before
he was levcled to the earth by the brawnv
fist of the iI.sulted mountaineer. Hearing
the cries OF the PROSTATE, some eight or ten
of his brethren rushed to his relief, and at
tackled the stranger. Such a scene as then
ensued defics description. The way the
mountain boy squared himself, and inflicted
blow after blow on his assailants, would
have done honor to a hero Of Bucna Vista.
Every time he strengthened" his arm, down
fell a foe, until, all around him, the field
was covered with the fallen. lie stood a

FOR AGE.

Reverence is always due to agedpeople
GOD, nature and, a proper education says
TO the young, reverence old age. Gray
hairs are crowns Of glory, when found in
the way Of righteousness.
The pronPtlngs of our kindly nature
teach us to respect the aged, to rise up be-
fore the hoary head. Tie dim eye, the fur
rowed, cheek the temples thinly clad, who
would not respect, reverence, love them?
We love the youth who reverences the
aged always, and whoever they are. Oh
youth revere thy aged friend, respect those
locks so whitened by the toiling hard
of many long years.

A few weeks ago a member ofthe Texas
company attached to the I'd Illinois regi-
mcnt in Mexico, was returning to the camp
from Saltillo, slightly intoxicated. As he
got to the guards lines, seeing the plight he
was in, the man on the post-a member of
Col. Curtis (3d) Ohio regiment-com-
menced tantalizing him, at which some of
the by-standers suggested to the Texan that
he should fight the man a duel. As the guns
ofthe guard are not loaded, the matter was
soon arranged. A musket was handed to
the Texan, and the parties stepped off at
some ten spaces distant, at the word both
turned and snapped. They made a second
attempt, but now what was the horror of the
bystanderS, who thought they were enjoy
ing a rich joke, to see the Texans gun go
off, and the Ohioan fall dead, pisrced with a
ball through the breast.
