VIvE LA HUMBUG.--The Chicago Tribune states
that the pathetic tale about little Norwegian boy,
named Iverson, bong drowned near that place by
some of his companions, because he would not steal,
is simply hoax, and akin to the "pious frauds
chronicled among the supersttious of old. A boy
of this anne was drowned and the verdict of the
Jury of Inquest was "Accidental Drowning" The
sum of 81. 200 had been collected to build monu'
ment to the supposed martyr and at least fourteen
pieces of poetry have been written upon the ubjec
by as many Reverend Dvines, to say nothing of the
innumerable stanzas by sympathetic young ladies
Humbug of humbugs--all is humbug.

life, for fear of treadng unknown delicate
sen<ibility is in European circles. 1t is
boldly assumed, what every one knows to be fact,
that both sexes equally aware of great varie-
ty of things and where the alusion is natural, no
one troubles himself about it. There were in our
company, this evening, two who were invited as be.
trOthed, and was very much struck with their

Saxon company, the fact would have been dropped
out of view as much as possible, and certainly the
slightest expression of their feelings would have been
dreaded by the parties. But here there was, the
whole evening an unconscious beautiful expression
of affection and confidence, which really, think
g!addened the whole company. You never thought
of watching them for it, but you never thought of
anything else with them. Love seemed to speak out
as naturally from their tones, and glance and man
ner, as friendly feeling does with US. Nothing else
would have seemed in place. 1t was above criticism
above surprise, even-though if any other of the
young were bachelors like myself. they retired
with sufficiently vivid appreciation of the woes of
bachelordom. | have often observed this natural
ness of expression among the Germans. 1t is more
apparent in the families of course. There are not
in all my memories, pictures so warm and glowing,
as of those families in North Germany families
where the look and language of affection were not
blurred by that everlasting Journalism and GOODNESS
and selfshness which hangs over our households ;
where love without assimilation, neither worn
for duty, nor worn for effect; where mutual kind
ness and sefsacrifce and affection had so long BEEN
