are an eccentric people. Their ways, too,
are oltentimes curiously comic. They do
a thousand odd things. and occasionally re-
sort TO such unheard Of expedients 10 ac-
complish their objects. that the reality is
frequently more romantic than fiction.
So it was with young couple we heard
Of Saturday. She, was sweet seventeen,
ard he. youth Of eighteen. They fell in
-deep-inextricably and unfaihoma-
bly, deep. Now for other ills that flesh is
heir to, Pharmacy has managed 10 find
some mode Of alienation. Cologne is
good for headache. Dayis's Pain-Kiler
soothes burn, and ca,np teas the sorer-
eignest thing on earth for cold. But for
loye-deep, agonizing aud excruciating
love, there is no cure but matrimony.- So
our couple believed, and upon this belief
they wished TO act. But alas when did
the course Of true love ever run smooth,
from the days of Pyramus and Thisbe
down to the present time Where the
woes OF lovers generally end, all their woes
began. Papa and mamma would not con-
sen,-were inexorable, Worse than that,
the unsympaihising clerks of our courts
would issue no license, anu Tue pan seeui-
ed likely 10 be abandoned.
Not so with them, however. Where
there's a will there's way; and so the
event proved. They very coolly got some
blankets and quilis-tucked them under
their arms-went over 10 Newport, and
having got married there, they camped out
on the hills in the neigborhood FOR four
days and nights
Brightly careered the moon in the Heay-
overwhelmingly shone the stars from
above--cslmly rolled the silver waves Of
the Ohio-and green grew the grass upon
the hill side, while sweeily and lovingly
these "babes in the wood" rested in their
fight TO enjoy calm repose.
There. their papas and mammas found
them. They took them home. gave them
some supper. and-here the story ends.

An Incident and a Lesson.

IL is but a short time since that man

hotels about noon, aud expressed his wish
Tor dinner. The host, after eyeing him
from head TO foot, informed him that there
was no vacancy at the first table, but IL he
would wait for the second he would be
charged but two-thirds price. The ttrang-
er, who as the sequel Nil show, was some
thing OF philosopher, replied that he had
not the least objection, aud conicuied him
self in the bar.room until the upper
crust" made ample room for him, by leav-
ing the whole table. He sat down TO the
fragments, solitary and alone, and without
being restricted TO etiquette, made a most
glorious dinner. while his iIlustrious prede-
cessors were picking their teeth on the
stone steps. When he had finished, he re.
turned 10 the bar.room and demanded his
bill.
Twenty five cents" was the laconic re-
ply.
THAT is very reasonable" responded
the guest. 81 certainly cannot find fault
with that and he handed out thou
sand dollar bin!
Imagine the establishment Of "mine host"
at this poser. II was like a sudden splash
OF shower, when an umbrellaless might
start in dozen different directions at the
same moment TO hide his head, and yet has
not the power TO stir out OF his tracks.

We mention this incident, which is strict.

situation would have acted as he did. But

daily exemplihed, we are too apt TO disre-

and il il is believed that he has wealth,

REvoLT IN A WoRKHoUsE.-Av very serious
affair happened at the xorkhouse Of the Second
Municipality, New Orleans, about o'clock on
the morning of the 10Th ult, by which one of
the prisoners lost his life.
Three men by the names of John Irwin, John
Lyons, and Huey Fowler, who have been con-
fined in that establishment short time on the
charge of vagrancy, made an attempt TO escape
by scaling the walls, and in getting over by
means Of plank, alarmed the Waterman, by
the name of Michael Queenin, who arrived Just
as Irwin was on the plank, and after the other
two had succeeded in getting over. He hailed
Irwin and ordered him to come down, which the
latter did not regard, but continued his efforts
to escape, when the Waterman seized the plank,
and Irwin dropping on the ground, fierce sirug-
gle ensued.
In the struggle they neared the cistern, where
an axe was lying, which was seized by Irwin,
who made a blow with il at the officer, and was
preparing to repeat the attack, when Queenin
retreated few PAGES, and, drawing pistol, shot
the scamp, the ball entering the right nipple,
breaking two ribs, and perforating the right
lung, the wound causing almost immediate death.
The noise by this time brought out Captain
Williams, of the House of Refuge, who attempt
ed to stop Lyons and Fowler, but without effect,
and in consequence, both of these scamps are
now at large.
