Immensely fond of salutator motion. re.
member once in my life / used to hirt with
one who was great favorite in provincial
town where lived, and confdyd to me she

THAT was hint for youto buy the stock

''No; you're out" said Growing. "She
knew that was as poor as herself; but though
she could not rely onmy purse, she had eve
ry confidence in my taste and judgement,
and consulted me on plan she formed for
going to the ball in proper twig. Now what
do you think it wasp
'To so in cotton, l suppose" returned
Dick. ts. --a.,.....,
''Out again sr-you'd never guess it; and
only woman could have hit upon the expe-
dient. 1t was the fashion in those days for
ladies in full dress to wear pink stockings,
and she proposed painting her legs!'
Painting her legsP' they all exclaimed.
'Fact SIR said the Doctor, "and she re-

successful" a nhh
"And was it?'' asked Durfy

''But not a safe covenant, " added the at

'Don't interrupt me, gentlemen" said
the doctor. 81 got some rose pink, accor-
dinghy, and l defy all the hosiers in Noting

Jenny; and prettierpair ofstockings Inever

"And she went to the ball?' said Dick.
"She did"

several ladies asked her to recommend her

you are dancing, hadmt yoa better let NE

Pretty Hands. ~
Some matter of fact genius raps the knuc-
kles of pretty hands very roughly. Just
hear him: ~ls ras., ~. .as
"Delicate. beautiful hands! Dear Miss,
how do you contriye to make your hands so
pretty? And such rings, too, as if to draw
attention that way. Let us feel them. Oh
'dear howsoft and tender. u-ai .n
''Do you bake Miss?'

"Do you make bcds?" n "fa. ,
"No.h "a.
"Do you wash floors and scrub the pots
and kettles?'

$50 we thought. Look at your mothers
hands. Amt you ashamed to let that old
lady kill herself outright while you do moth
ing from daylight to dark, but keep the dust
from your face and the flies from your hands?
What are you good for? Will man of
common sense marry you for your delicate
hands? A person who is real man would
prefer to see them blackened occasionally by
coming in contact with pot hooks and tram
mels, and calloused by day or two's rub
bing at the washboard. Pretty fingers in
deed! what are they for but to move over the
piano, or to stick through gold rings! Like
many of the vain things of the earth, they
are kept for show and nothing more. For
our part we would rather see them out in ac-
tual service and as tough as a coquett's con-
science than SO tender that hy's foot will
make an impression upon them
Excellent. a
The Democratic judicial convention of
Pennsylvania, has issued an address to the
Democracy of that noble State. After giving
a brief biography of the candidates put in
nomination by them for the Supreme Bench,
the address closes with the following sensible
appeal to the Democracy Of the old Key
stone. 1t will be interesting to behold Penn
sylvania and Ohio wheeling together into the
old democratic line this Fall: s'' '
'tWe urge you, therefore, to come forth to
the polls Let no man absent himself. Let
every true democrat be sure that he votes
the whole Democratic ticket without altera-
ton or change, and glorious triumph a.
waits us. We charge you in conclusion, to
remember that the Democracy Of Pennsyl-
vania and the Union expect every man be-
longing to them, to do his duty upon the
present occasion, in sustaining the party and
its nominees. /" sE fas -tt .ap =.
dust let the Democracy of Ohio take the
foregoing to themselves, and Whiggery will
receive San Jacinto overthrow next October.

On Friday, a boy but eleven years Of age,
was convicted in Baltimore City Court, Of
murder in the first degree. The murder was
one of intent, and not the result Of an acci-
dental blow, and the jury, with the evidence
ofa clear intent to kill could not do other
wise than convict hin, capitally. The pris-
loner, George Long, who killed the little hoy
George Rumpf, his juniorby some two wears,
did not seem to know what was going on
around him, but amused himself during the
trial catching flies and scratching his head
and sometimes falling off into Dose with
hlslhead leaning against the bar He seem-l
ed ito think the triad a very dull affair, and

verdict. tdThceJury and ATTORNEY General, !,
