Love In an Omnibus.

| An old gentleman named John Beaman. had
the happiness as he termed il, to sit next to
modest girl in one of the Pine street omnibus
es. AS thore were no other passengers, Mr..
Beaman considered the opportunity favorable,
aud endeayorej 10 make himself agreeable to
tho young lady, who having inquired directly
| if he was single man. and being assured that
he was ''nothing eIse" received his compli-
ments with an air of demnre resignation. A
love affair almost as sudden in its developments
as that of Master Montague and Miss Capu-
let, seemed to have sprung up In the rumbling,
tumbling vehicle, and nevor was an omnibus

ses than Mr. Samuel Beaman on that occasion.
Before the coach got SO far as Eight street,
Mr.. b. had got so far as squeezing Of hands;
which even in this age of progress, was get
ting along very rapidly, considering that il
was first interview. Before Ninth street ap-
peared. vows of mutual love were exchanged,
and VIC suspect the wedding day was fixed on
before they reached Tenth street. At that
point. the young lady with profound sghs init
mated that she must get out, and took leave Of
Mr.. Beaman with some expression equal to
''Tbis bud Of love when sext we meet
Nay prove beauteous flower"
As the omnibus paused for moment, Mr..
Beaman saw her passing down Tenth street
and beihought himself of his gold spectacles.
by the help of which he hoped to have longer
view of the vanishing object. But alas. the
speotacles had vanished too, and SO indeed had
Mr.. b. purse, contaioing small change to the
amount of 1886 cents. MIR. Beaman's sud-
den love Was changed to sudden abhorrence.
He stopped the coach, tumbled himself out,
and pursued the fair abstractionist, with the
same feelings Apollo was pursuing Daph ue,
but with determination to make her legally
accountable for the missing property--and Miss
Nancy Parks--(Beaman's omnibus fame) is
now in prison, under legal obligations to have
one more interview, and sad one it will be for
her, with her pttilessl ladmirer.-(Phil, Penn

Trist and Gen. ScoIt could hunt down and per

tosh became the army banker at a magnihcenl

Pulpit Advertising Extraordinary.

off a few weeks since at one of the churches in
Newbury port A now pastor had been INSTALL
ed stranger in those paris-and on Sunday, a
notice of an anti-slayery lecture was sent in for
him to read. This announcement chanced to
be written on tho back of shop bill. setting

found at Dcacons-'s store. The new
preacher happened to take the bill, printed side
up--not once dreaming of tho chirography in
pencil OH the reverse-he thought il queer
way to advertise wares, but il must be the
custom in these parts, or it would not be sent

Counsels for the Younr.

Never be cast down by trifes. If spider
breaks his thread twenty times, twenty times
will he mend it again. Make up your minds to
do thing, and you will do it. Fear not, if
trouble come upon you; hsOp up your spirits
though the day be dark one.
Troubles never stay forever:
The darkest day will pass away.
Ifthe sun is going down. look up at the
stars; If the earth is dark. keep your eyes on
heaven; with Code presence and Gods prom
ises. man or child may DO cheerful.
Never despair, when fog's in the cir.
sun shiny morning comes withou, warning
Mind what you run after. Never be content
with bubble that will burst, or q fire work
that ends in smoke and darkness. Got that
which you can keep, and which 10 worth keep
ing.
Something sterling, thst will stay.
When gold and silver fly away.
Fight hard against hasty temper. Anger
will como. but resist it stoutly. it Of pass
ion, may give you cause to mourn all tho days
of your life.
He that revenges knows not rest,
The meek possess a peaceful breast.
Ifyou have an enemy, act kindly to him, and
make him a friend. You may not win him o.
vor at once, but try agsin Let ono kindness
be followed by another, ill you hsvo accom-
pl.hed your object. BY little end little. great
things are accomplished.
Water falling day By day,
Wesrs the hardest rock away.
And SO repeated kinknoss will softon heart
of stone.
Whatever you do, do it willingly. A boy
that is whipped to school, never lesrns his les
son. A man that is compelled TO work, cares
mol how badly it is performed. He that pulls
off his coat cheerfully. strips up his sleeves in
earnest. and sings while he works, is the man
for me-
cheerful spirit gets on quick,
grumber in the mud will stick
Evil thoughts are worse enemies than ions
and tigers; for wo can keep out OF the way of
wild beasts; but bad thought. win their way
every where. The cup that is full will hold no
more; keep your head and heart full of good
thoughts, that bad thoughts may find no room 10
enter.
BE on your guard. aud strive and pray,
To drive oil wicked thoughts away.
