An Arkansas Legislator.

f. A member elect Of the lower chamber of
the Legislature of Arkansas, was persuaded
by some wags Of his neighborhood, that if he
did not reach the State House at ten O'Clock
on the day of assembling, he could not be
sworn, and would lose his seat. He immedi-
ately mounted, with hunting frock, rifle and
bowie knife, and spurred till he got to the cap
itol, where he hitched his nag. A crowd was in
the chamber of the lower house, on the ground
floor, walking about with their hats on, and
smoking cigars This he passed, ran up stairs
into the Senate Chamber, set his rifle against
the wall, and bawled out:
strangers, whar's the man that swears me
in?'' at the same time taking out his creden-
tials.
"Walk this way said the clerk, who was
at the moment igniting real principe, and he
was sworn withoutinquny.
When the teller came to count the noses, he
found there was one one Senator too many

ain loye!" Fiddlestioks! take cold bath
every morning, and eat crab-apple
We had young friend long ago; as pretty
a girl as ever tripped along Broadway in the
sunshine. But there was spice of obstinacy in
her nature and she had read at least fifty
thrilling narratives" before she was fifteen 3
Well to make short story of it, she went
into the country, in July, to visit an uncle, and
there she fell desperately in love with the
hired man, Theodore Hobbs, who was over
seer of the farm, and drove the carriage to
church on Sundays. Theodore was handsome
and he knew it, and had wonderful ambition
to marry lady, and she, romantic GIRL" had
now the opportunity long coveted, of elevat-
ing a worthy man from the lower walks oi
life to her own rank; and SO two fools having
met, the result was disastrous.
One morning the breakfast bell was rung,
but our young lady did not appear; and the
horses winnowed in the stable, but Theodore
was not there to feed them Yes, to the utter
horror and dismay of all parties concerned
they had run away together. Her father was
incorrigible, and would not receive him as a
son-poOr Theodorel and her mother, broken
hearted as she was, had no desire to have him
domesticated under their roof
=, 1t was 'tnine days wonder" and then
friends ceased to speak of them. 'R,
We have heard of them recently. They
are, ."settled down. in an old log house. on a
farm in Wisconsin, and Theodore works for the
proprietor. Yes, he actually had the impu-
dence to stop at one of those big corn cribs out
west, called cabins, and asked his dainty foot
ed wife to walk in; and so the romance ended.
The fair city girl, whose satin slippered foot
Al. n II. I
carpet, commenced her life-work over the
rough brown boards of prairie cabin; and he,
that pitiless man, whom by one act of folly
she had made her MASTER thinking, that
since he didn't get the money, he had the
worst of it, allowed her to pay for the honor
which he had conferred upon her, by doing the
work of his "elegant establishment with her
own hands, The world has forgotten her; she
is thrown into shadow by her '1iege lord; and
a blessed thing it is so for she would be asham-
ed to be known now by any one who remem-
bers her childhood. And yet she clings ten
aciously to life, for one by one have sprung up
around her little helpless ties to earth; mater
nal love has taken the pledge of conjugal love
in her bosom, and she gives that outward re-
spect, which she cannot feel, to the father OF
her children.
'Ah "love's young dream' is too often DOOM
ed to such waking up as this.
The young, foolish girl, in direct opposition
to the will of her parents, marries injudici-
ously.
Then, as the flowers torn up by the roots
and cast out upon the highway, she withers
and fades, yet struggling still for life, takes
substance from the coarse earth around her,
