FICTION.

There is probably no feature more striking
in the literature Of the age, than the prepon-
derancs Of works Of mere imagination over
every other department Of Intellectual effort.
In an age emimently practical. distinguished
above every other era Of the world for the
growth and progress Of all that conduces to
the physical well being Of man, tits fact that
the reign Of romance is not only recognized, but
universal and triumphant. Not only is this
the case in the older countries of the world,
whose every avenue to fame and fortune is pre-
occupied in the more useful and solid pursuits
Of life, but even in our own country, whose re-
sources are yet undeyeloped, and where the
giant energies Of national youth may still find
countless channels for their exercise. We find
writer's in this department who may challenge
competition with the most brilliant intellects Of
older lands The union of the practical with
the poetical might appear at the first blush to
be anomalous; and yet, perhaps, on closer ex-
animation, it will be found to be in perfect ac-
cordance with the nature and the history of
man. OF all the nations who have made a.
figure in the drama of the world, none certainly
has been more distinguished than the Athenian
commonwealth for literary and artistic genius
Whether we regard them in the province Of
eoquence, Of poetry, of architecture, or of sculp
ture, the Athenians were and are equally un-
rivaled. Yet none of the ancient nations was
more enlightened in political science, more dis
tinguished for military achievements, or more
successful in commercial enterprise. Amightier
people than the Greeks in their palmiest days
have in modern times almost within the mem

Curious Mode of Getting a Wife.

4. One little act of poiteness will sometimes
pave the way to fortune and prefcrment The
following sketch illustrates this fact:
A sailor, roughly garbed, was strolling
through the streets of New Orleans, then in
rather damp condition from recent rain and
tho rise of the tide. Turning the corner of a
much frequented and narrow alley, he observed
young lady standing in perpexity, apparently
measuring the depth ot the muddy water be-
tween her and the opposite side walk, with no
very satisfied countenance.
The sailor paused, for he was great udml.
rer of beauty, and certainly the fair face that
peeped out from under the little chip hat and the
auburn cur's hanging glossy and unconfned
over her muslin dress, might tempt curious
or an admiring glance. Perpexed, the lady
put forth one little foot, when the gallant sailor,
with characteristic impusiveness, exclaimed,
That pretty foot, lady, should not be soied
with the filth of this lane Sait for moment
only, and will make you path"
So springing past her into carpenters shop
opposite he bargained for a plank board that stood
in the doorway, and coming back to the smiling
girl, who was just coquettsh enough to accept
the services Of the handsome young sailor. he
bridged the narrow black stream, and she trip
ped across with merry " Thank YOU" and a
rogueish smile, making her eyes as dazzling as
they could be.
Alas! our young sailor was perfectly charm
ed. What else would make him catch up and
shoulder the plank, and follow the little witch
through the streets to her home she twice per-
forming the ceremony of " walking the plank
and each time thanking him with one of beI
clouuent smiles. Presently our hero saw the
young lady trip up the marble steps of a palace
of house, and disappear within its rosewood
entrance. For full minute he stood looking
at the door, and then with wonderfully big
sigh, turned away, disposed Of his d.aw.bridge
and wended his path back to his ship.
The next day he was astOnished with an or
der of promotion from the Captain. Poor JacI
was speechless with amazemebt he had no
dreamed of being exalted to the dignity Of
second mates Office on board one of the mos
splendid ships that saied out of the port of New
Orleans. He knew he was Competent, for in
stead Of spending his money for amusements
visiting theatres and bowling alleys, on his re
turn from sea, he purchased books, and had be

Enterprise, energy and perseverance are IN
stinctive elements in Yankee character lie IS
not of that species that plan bNt never execute
He does not entertain a design, grand and stu
pepdous scheme merely 10 feast his Imagination
He is possessed with an onward impulse, "go-
aheadsm' that oyercomes all impedimens, sur
mounts all obstacles Having formed his plans
he moves TO his purpose, crcumserlbed only by
the natural orbit of his individual powers. Cone
scious of his own ability and independence, he re-
lies not upon chance or miraculous Intervention,
hut solely upon his own eXertlon He is the
nersoni6ca6on of cause and effect II misfortune
frowns upon him, he profits by past experience,
and redoubling his energy hopes for better luck.
If disappointed ia one branch Of business, he
turns to another. The Yankee has no faith in
monopoly on the contrary, he considers compe'
tition the life Of business. Although "neighbor-
ly" he considers the interest Of number one"
paramount to all others. Knowing that the field
is the world, he is ready to emgrate to any cline
that will furnish him with more lucrative em-
ployment The scorchng sun Of the tropics,
or the congealng atmosphere Of the poles present
no barrier to his enterprise. But although the
Yankee is selfish, he p, ssesses a pure and lofty
patriotism. His interests are easily Identified
with the interests ofthe nation. Y.
