MOST AMUSING SCENE.

A few weeks since, while court was sit
ting at Paris, Lamar county. Texas, and
while the tavern Of MIR. Tucker was filled
with lawyers, litigants, Witnesses. &C.. q
robbery was committed upon the premises,
attended with most ludicrous circumstan.
ces. Mr.. Tucker and his guests retired
10 their beds at the usual hour. and after q
night OF profound and undisturbed slum.
ber, awoke. every mothers son of them
coatless and pantaloonless-some daring
thief had entered their sleeping apartments
and had distracted and carried off every
rag Of clothing belonging to every soul in
the house. The Bonham Advertiser init.
mates that when the fact was known, and
the thing understood, series of tableaua
uiuants, Of the most ludicrously interesting
nature, were offered by the garmentless
dodgers, the sufferers themselves laughing
long and heartily at the ridiculous figures
each other cut while shying and dodging
about in search OF their missing clothing.
II was not long. however, before the mis-.
sing garments we're found stacked in the
public square, whittier the burglars had
carried them; and now came the serious
feature Of the business-every pocket had
been rummaged. every red cent taken, all
were empty. Several emigrants had lost
all their money. and the lawyers attending
the court were reduced 10 a par with their
clients who had the day before lined their
pockets for them. Some four hundred and
odd dollars was the net profit Of that par.
ticular nights work to the enterprising pro-
jector, who got entirely off undedected.

POLICY FOR YOUNG LADIES.

1t is said .'there is policy in taking ad.
vantage Of circumstances and turning them
to the accomplishment OF those objects one
wishes to secure" Policy therefore is
necessary for these persons who wish to
secure good husbands. But the policy
which many Of them pursue is exceeding
ly erroneous-they seem to think that il is
degrading to them to be seen in an ordi.
nary dress about their household affairs.
But this is the very condition in which
every young man, worth securing, would
prefer to find them were he seeking wife.
A foolish. simpering fop. who is more in
debted 10 his tailor and barber for import
ance than 10 his brains, may wish to find
young ladies dressed in silks and shut up
in a parlor like dolls in show case. But
sensible man wants wife who knows
something. and can make herself useful.
A judicious writer advises all young men
to seek their companions for life from the
class who are willing TO be found in the
kitchen without making apologies for it.
This is sage advice, and if young ladies
were aware that those young men who are
worth their seeking generally act upon it,
and had rather find them at the wash;ub.
than weeping over the last rovel, they
would not run away from their work and
hide when young man is approaching
the house. as they too often do. They
would let him know they are worth some
thing more than playihings-that they are
not mere butterflies, very pretty to look up
on, but il handled perish with the touch.
Nothing recommends young lady like
industry. To understand the labor and
perform it well. is one of the finest quail
fications. Ladies should never be asham.
