RULES FOR EscoRTING LADIES. ssfhe Wash
ington correspondent of the New York Herald,
in a long homily on the conduct of ladies in the
capital, among other things, says:
Never, or very rarely, offer to carry ladys
shawl or parasol or put your hand on her
shoulder or round her waist (asis so often done)
in assisting her out of the carriage, or into her
seat To delicate woman all such clapping
and clawing is the most insuferable rudeness.
The proper way when you alight, is to offer
your left arm as support for the lady's right
hand, and to hold your right hand in readiness,
should the exigencies of skirts, ETC., permit her
taking it with her left In ascending stair
case, keep side by side with the lady, but do
not be too ostentatious in Offering your arm, lest in
attempt to take it she neglects the management
of her skirts steps on her Dress and either falls
or tears it out at the waist. .'t "
If you attend two ladies, place the one next
you who is entitled, either by rank or preference
to the post Of honor-but on no account what
ever walk between them. A man with lady
on each arm is a laughable paraphrase of
donkey laden with two panniers. Observe
different rule, however, in taking your places in
q concert room. The gentleman in those should |
be preceded and followed by lady. At table, |
q gentleman and lady who have guest II speak |
now of the hotel table, for we are really getting
to know scarcely any other in this country,) al
ways place him or her between. If the guests
are also two, then you place your lady guest be-
tween your wife and yourself while the gentle
man takes the other end of the line, leaving the
ladies in the middle. The logic, as well as the
convenience of all these little arrangements, will
be suggested by single thought-and how
much awkwardness, apd consequent mortifca-
ton and annoyance, would be avoided by q
careful observance of these simple rules

walked Upin a strange Land.

At a late hour on Saturday night last
one OF our watchmen got his eye on a
strange craft who had been perambulating
our streets, apparently in search of some
particular locality. The sequel proves
him to have belonged to that unfortunate
class OF human beings, whose advent in.
to the world first suggested the proprlely
of station houses and criminal courts, aud
who; in large cities, are not untrequenlly
dignifed with The classic title of"wHARF
RATS" He hailed from the Queen City.
and the supposition now is, that while un,
der the influence of bad liquor. he had
crawled into one Of the cars at the Gin
cinnati depot, and fell asleep; and in
which state of happy unconsclouSnesS'
he became the victim Of concerted plot
of the conductors, who had torn him from
his "friends and his home," and landed
him in Columbus without his knowledge
or consent. That he here awoke, and
unconscious of what had happened sci
forth in search Of his abode. When met
by the officer, the following colloquy EN-
sued!
'!See here, my friend, it is rather late
hour 10 be prowlng about the streets; you
had better be hunting your roost."
"That's just what I've been doing fo'
the last two hours, but darn my picture Ii
can find the house, or the street, or any
thing that looks like either"
"What street do you live on!" asked
the officer. .
"Oa Rat Row. al the foot Of Walnut.
"Well, there are several reasons why
YOU haven't found it, the principal one is
that there is no such street here. '
"Now see here, stranger, il ! hadn'I
been born and raised in this very place
you might play off your jokes; but I'm toe
old for that
81 don't know about that; but there is
one thing do know. and | repeat it, thai
there is no Rat Row in Columbus"
"Well, didn't say there was, bu
there's one in Cincinnati -,
"Then you had better 60 there" said
the officer. you may stand betteI
chance OF finding it,"
60 whereof inquired the wharf gen
teman.
"Why to Cincinnati
"Now, see here my frend,' said th'
other. II suppose you are an officer, an'
if YOU will lust take me home, or dlrec
me there, you Il do me favor

AHUSBAND IN TROUBLE.

A few days since. lawyer in this city
was seated in his Office busily employed
in studying out a plea, when the door
opened, and a young stout son of Erin
entered, dofFed his hat and said that he
desired to take an advice of his honoo.
The lawyer bade him sit down, and IN
quired his business.
'Shure,' he replied, Il want divorce
from my wife Bddy.'
Does she not treat you well, does she
not take care of your house, has she
deserted you. or does she like any one
better than yourselll' were inquiries made
by the lawyer, who endeaVored for some
time in vain to pump out the reason ot the
desire for.a divorce. At last, weary OF
the investigation, the disciple of Coke in,
formed his would.be client that he could
do nothing for him without knowing all
the facts OF the case.
w ell, if | must. must replied the
husband; 'shure there is little darIlnt
love hetter than Biddy.'
The lawyer could hardly refrain from
laughter sufficiently TO inform the Hiber
nian that the law could not touch such
case as his, and Pat left with a counte
nance more of sorrow than OF anger

SELECT TALE.
HOW SHE s E R VIZ D HIM
A SENTTNIENTAL,S
BY RICHARD EVERETT.
Love is but an idle dream,
Mark how soon it fades away;
Like a rainbow's fitful CLEAN,
Constant only for a day.

We very seldom venture to write a
love storv,' as it is termed--that is chron-
icle all the events, sweet and sour, OF
somebody's courting experience. We are
unskiIled in the Ovdian art, and therefore
incompetent to describe the JOY and leal'
ousy, happiness and misery, attendant
upon the mingling Of two fond hearts in
one as some poet says. Cupid is no
great friend of ours, so we feel like tres
passing on forbidden ground when we
attempt TO relate little incident in life
which came under our observation last
summer, while rurualizing, away Down
East And we must be excused for put
ting in a few words Of morazing, as 9
sort Of prelude TO our sketch. Prov
dencu seems 10 have sent among us, Tor
good reason. no doubt, a great many
heartless people. we often meet mer
and women, who have not one atom o
truthful affection about them. Whose
regard comes and goes as policy may
dictate, or occasion demand.
In the nature oil man this is bad enough
but when woman gentle. lovely, and al
we always say, afleclionale woman, shows
herself to be the cold, selfish hypocrite, j
seems as though beneath the garb Of puri

hours after we learned the truth.
Five days before, a young man now
named Arthur BIS, had returned from
California, where he bad been for three
years. He was reported to be very
wealthy, and had returned 10 reside in
Lunenburg, his native village. He met
Lucy Wilder at clurch--was introduced

then offered her his hand. And she, vic.
lating every womanly charateristic-ever,
holy bond that bound her TO another--the
solemn remontsrances of her parents end
friends, accepted him. They we're mar.

good Deacon was shocked to see the

Alas my noble Clarinda, that thou should st die
Thou who vert made SO beautifully fair
That death should settle in thy glorious eye,
And leave his stiffness in this clustering hair;
How could he mark thee for the silent tomb,

How was wont to feel my pulses thrill
Like a rich harp string, yearning to caresS thee,

Cold, cold lips, Clarindal [dumb

Gush Of music, and the voices Of the young;
And life will pass me in the mantling blush,

But thou no more, with thy wectvoice, shalt
Come to meet me, 0 Clarinda
And Oh when l am stricken and my heart,
Ikea bruised reed, is waiting to be broken,
How will its love for thee as depart,

And now farewell It's hard to give youup,
With death SO like gentle slumber on thee;
And thy beautiful voice that heard thee
Shout glory to God, with. o, how my
