KEEELING TO LADIES. Ono Of the drollcst
occurrences in the annals of gallantry, is re-
lated of Gibbon, the historian, who was short
in stature and fat. One day being alone with
the beautiful Madame do Crouzas, he drop
ped or his knees before her and made de-
claration of love in the most passionate terms.
The astonished lady rejected his suit and re-
quested him to rise, The abashed historian
remained on his knees. Rise, Mr.. Gibbon, |
beseech YOU, rise Mr., Gibbon still kept his
posture. 'Mr. Gibbon, will you have the
goodness to get upg Alas, madam faltered
the unlucky lover, Il cannot He was too
fat to regain his feet without assistance
Madams de Crouzas rang the bell, and said
to her servants, Gift up Mr.. Gibbon.'

had to look to the masses for n continuance
of their power would not be the safest. de-

| Coon COUNSEL TO WmGs.- In recent let
ter Of Mr.. Bolts, of Va, the following tenn
Perate and sage advice to our wing friends is
to be found:
1t took us a great while to build up the
Wing party, and it would perhaps take longer
to build up another; and therefore, as an orr
ginAi Wing must say .-r g.. ..-..er .
'My voice is still for war"
and under the same banner that has twice led
US to victory in the last twelve years. s j ?
But we can do nothing without union a.
mong ourselves. Let us, then, bury all past
differences and wrongs; let us lay aside all
heart burnings and jeaouses; for the sake of
our common country, let us harmonic, and
restore confidence and goodfellowship among
ourselves. Let Clay Wings, and Taylor
Wings, Scott Wings, Fillmore Wings, Web
ster Wings, and all other sorts of Wings stop
quarrellng with each other, and stand tOgeth-
er united, though quiet and inactive for the
present, prepared to meet any collision with
our adversaries, and, at least be ready to pre-
vent mischieffand evil to the country, even If
we cannot accomplish n positive good. The
grasping, aggressive acquistive spirit of De-
mocracy, leads me to apprehend that breakers
are head, and is this the time for the conser-
yative party and the only conservative party
in the country, to abandon its organization

presumed that these artists do not dance with
great coats on An impudent fellow, sitting |
near the footights Of the stage, was particu-
larry engaged in spying the lady through n
double barrel opera glass. This seemed to
annoy her so, as soon as she spun and flew
to that portion of the house, she suddenly |
and gracefully kicked the glass from the
whitc-kidded hands of the exquisite. This
feat Immediately attracted general admira-
ton, and the danseuse went off with deafen-
ing yells of applause, while the young gen
tleman was glad to make his escape. .

.ae3y- The coming of the New Year gives
occasion to our contemporaries to say many
profound or pretty things. We clip the fol- q,
lowing random thought from the New York
Journal of Commerce: .-.
1sThe great want Of the ageis, a want of
rejection; not upon the stirring events which
are bazoned upon the worlds tablets but
upon the simple acts which mark the indivldd11
uai life. Each one, however covetous OF
personal profit or glory, prefers, when the
Work Of DIFFERENTIATION is called up, to lose
himself in the mass. When the new. yea,
breaks in upon the strife of.busy cares, and
intcrrupts the ordinary current of thought,
we start to mark the Exchanges which are going
on around us, and cxclaim over the RAPID
flight of time, and the instability OF all
things IalJnH' tar ~i.''' .''' '-".
