Handsomely sold.

The Partisan correspondent of the st. Louis Re-
publican, relates the following:
A couple of weeks ago the following announce
ment appeared in one of the morning papers:
CA gentleman of ripe age, occupying an honora-
bic position desiring to unite himself to young la
dy or widow, of from twenty-five 10 thiry-fve years
of age, wishes that his future wife may bring him
small dowery. Address H. T. by writing, &C."
An avalanche of unpaid letters Immediately fell
upon the gallant From ladies of so years of age,
who gave themselves forty to young girls of sixteen,
all seemed to solicit the alliance of the gentleman of
these letters, which seemed to him to evince some
snare. AT last came a letter, small and perfumed,
and written in the most beautiful manner. The wri-
ter young girl of % years of age, who declar-
ed herself possessed of 200 francs and to have in
perspective the succession of grand mother in fee
BILE health, and very rich
This suited our ripe man precisely. A correspond
ence ensued Immediately. Numerous letters were
exchanged, which gradually became more confden-
tal and more tender, until the gentleman of ripe
age finished by falling desperately in love with his
correspondent. He ardently solicited rendezvous.
The young lady replied that she would not grant it,
unless Mr.. H. T. would give her his real name The
request was agreed to-, and soon the post brought
letter to the lover, assigning the angle of of the
Elysee walls as the place of rendezvous. The time
indicated was eight O'Clock in the evening and the
watch word, Give socialism, ;" which the gentleman
GIRL this species of signal seemed rather odd but the
lover thought the lady probably young and sin
cere republican, and of the hour indicated, repaired
TO the appointed spot
He promenaded for long time along the walls of
the Elysee and every time he saw woman coming
he exclaimed ''live socialism, Soon the appear
ance and prolonged walk of our hero attracted the
attention of the police, who were stationed near the
presidential palace. They Intercepted few ladies'
who had been addressed by Mr.. H. t. and hearing
the sedtous cry he had uttered, they went up to him
and arrested him for a crazy man.
The ripe man, surprised, tried to make some OBJ
servations, but he not listened TO- but taken to the
police station. At the momenthe was being carried
off, Mr.. H. T. heard shout of laughter from group
of young men, who had out from the other side
of the wall and who cried out at the time ga gentle
man. of a ripe age who wishes TO marry, &C." He
then understood that he had been mystiied and trick
ed Before the commissary Of the police he had all
the trouble in the world to prove that he was not
maeiactor, and finally obliged to tell his story,
and show his correspondence to get himself out of
the scrape The best of his story was, that Mr.. H.
T. was other than an honorable representative of
the people; taking his seat daily in the assembly,
and besides warm legitimist.

Sabbath Evening.

by GEORGE D. PRENTICE.
IT'S holy time. The evening shade
Steals with a soft control
Ger nature, as thought OF heaven
Steals DER the human soul;
AM every ray from yonder blue,
An every drop of falling dew.
Sc, ms to bring down to human woes
From heaven a message of repose.
Ger yon tall rock the solemn trees,
shadowy group incline
Like gentle nuns in sorrow bowed
Around their holy shrine;
And DER them now the night winds blow
So calm and still, the music low
Seems the mysterious voice of prayer
Soft echoed ON the evening air.
The mist, like incense from the earth
Rises TO God beloved,
And DER the waters move as erst
The Holy Spirit moved;
The torrents voice, the waves low hymn
Seems the far notes of seraphim,
And earth's thousand voices raise
Their song OF worship, love and praise.
The gentle sisterhood OF flowers
Bend low their lovely eyes,
Or gaze through trembling tears of dew
Up to the holy skies;
And the pure stars come out above
Like sweet and blessed things of love
Bright signals in the eternal dome
To guide the parted spirit home.
There is a spell of blessedness
In air and earth and heaven,
And nature wears the blessed look
or young saint forgiven;
Oh, who, at such an hour of love,
Can gaze on all, around above,
And not kneel down upon the sod
VIII Natures self to worship God.
