Ross the Erprcss man, who paid $3.50
for the first ticket to Jenny Lind's Con.
cert in Povidence, must be an odd genius.
The Troy Budget says his oddities ure
well known to every body within fifty
miles of Providence. Anything he does
will be sure to be done in different way
from what any other person would do it.
For instance, in his household matters, he
carpets the ceiling and whtewashes the
floor. The doors of his house instead Of
swinging upon hinges, open by dropping
intoibe cellar. Tie roof Of his dwelling
is also inverted, the gutter being in the
centre and the water carried of at the end.
In his dress he is equally bizarre. Hii
boots are several inches longer than his
feet. running to APPOINT, and curling uT
like pigs tail; his coat is buttoned be-
hind, although We are moi positive on thi'
point, believe that in dressing, he puts hi
pantaIoons on over bis head. He drives I
smart little pony, attached to low
wheeled buggy, ofwhich the lnrgcr wheels

TREATMENT OF A SUTroR.--From the

titude Of allowedsuitor to young lady, he
should be encircled with the kind protec-
tion and consderate respect which belongs

his character and position should be made
with the utmost delcacy, by those alone
who have tho warrant of parental au,hori.
ty. In their manners to him, the family
of the lady should show that they consid
cred him mndc sacred by the preference
Of their beloved one, and should anticipate
by their courtesy, the cop6dng cordiaity
he is expected and trusted to deserve.-
His own value should be fully and gener.
ously allowed, and q Difference to his wish.
es and opinions should be shown, such as
will chime with the probable state o!
things in year after his marriage.
Whatever be the sort of man daughter
is likely to marry, he would be tenrole
more bound TO be good husband and a
kind relative, by such treatment, than by
the suspicious coldncss and cautious dis.
paragement we have described.

The Greek Slave said 20 us to-day in cen

for bread to :he modern "Greeks."

spoken Of as the "model artist"
She says she will bea prize to the man
who marries her. for he will have at least

Though meant to he such, she declares
she will not be an '..imposing stone," nor

tells us those who carried her up the Me-

Though her features are modest, you

you cannot think her "brick.n
Not a "rolling stone" she gathers no
moss, and with little liking to shift, makes

SING THAT SONG AGAIN TONIGHT.

SlNG Thai SONU AUtilN IO-4>io'Ah'
Oh sing that song again tonight,
The song OF other years;
THEY'LL bring again some past delight,
In sunshine and i'll tears;
They guild The gloom ofpresent cares
They tell of joys to come;
Then sing the song ofother years.
Of friendship aud of home!
Oh. sing that song we used TO sing,
In Youths urclouded day,
When like the birds of early spring,
We caroled hours away!
When life was like rainbow team-
Array OF golden iicht,
A zephyr DER wave!ess stream
An ocean OF delight.
NV heart is sad-then sing to me
The songs we loved so well,
The pleasing thoughts they bring TO me
No feeble words can tell;
But sing of pleasures and ofpains,
s, In some melodious lay;
And touch the lutte to pensive strains
2 would not have them gay.
There is pathos in thy voice
A sadness in thy tone,
That makes the weary heart rejoice
A sweetness all thiue own.
Then sing the songs we love so WE'LL
Z And sing them DER and DER;
lever feel the magic spell
OF those sweet songs OF yore.
