And did the sufferer hy that night frol
A Loud Call for Girls.

Some of the miserable, minated mis-
cradle because unmaled) bachelors ou
West are getting desperate. Their cry
for relief is melancholy distressing
Who will volunteer to relieve them from
the horrors of single blessedness We
are of the opinion that, ii married very
soon, they could be worked into pretty
good husbands. But delays are danger
Gus. The editor of the Sioux Iowa.
Eagle thus implores
1--WE will promise husbands to five
hundred women during The next year, il
they will only come forward and say they
want them. We think the population OF
our town averages about five males 10 each
female, and by the last census it appears
that there are $4,000 more males than
females in Iowa. Take pity, ladies, and
come TO our relief"
Don't be prudish girls. If you want
husbands, say so, and let your actions
correspond with your words. This talk
ing "oflish" wien everybody knows you
mean "on," is all nonsense. Bachelors
are proverbiaIly shy. They always feel
sort Of sheepish, because they expect that
every body will suspect that they have tri-
ed to get married and couldn't, and the
older they grow the more timld they be-
come on this very account. Go 10 them,
good, sensible Yankee girls, take them
gently by the hand, encourage their lau-
dable desires, and lead them into the silk
en- bonds Of matrimonial felicity. We
mean, you do The cOurting.

The Time for COurting.

Il don't see why people cant do their
courling by daylight, and thus save fuel,
lamp light and morning aps.'-An Old
Maids Remarks.
Crackey old spot, preach on that sub
iect till your wrinkled face becomes
smooth and plump, and still young folks
will sit up till the stars tire of watching,
and the chickens begin to call the morn
ing
There is a sort of fascination in it, if a
positive denial 10 the contrary no,with-
standing. An indescrbable undenable
charm--a charm in being the sole occu-
pant of front parlor with nothing to mo-
lest you; the sofa drawn up before the
fire, and the lamp regulated into a steady
blaze tina, will not eclipse the brightness
of Maggie's eyes. Och, murther And
then the pleasing sound of hearing the
last pair OF footsteps ascending to the re-
gions above, and feeling that the ever
swinging parIor door will remain closed
until one or the other Of the party chose
10 open it.
Talk of courting by daylight! Think
Of tanning ones arm by quick, hasty with
drawals from around certain little was,
at the incessant ringing Of the bell, or
seeing the puff combs and curls fly in ev-
cry direction, by sound of coming foot
steps. Imagine proud lover at the foot Of
fair lady, putting forth an eloquent, long
avowal, with extraordinary expressions
fitting over his face; and, al The same mo-
ment, puzzled little countenance peer
ing through the folding doors, wondering
what makes Mr.. NJ pray with his
eyes wide open!' Or, more disag greeabe
still, have mamma open the door with
out the prelude Of rap, of course, just at
the moment you have venlured to test the
temperature and sweetness Of Maggie's
lips.
And then, what time in the day could
one take Not in the afternoon, certain
ly, when music teachers, callers. &C.,
are in vogue; and not on Sundays by any
means. when everybody is expected TO 60
TO church. An hour when you can
squeeze Maggie's fingers to make her tell
who she loves best; look in Maggie's
hand to see if her fortune runs with your
own, and see what letter of the alphabet
is formed therein, and kiss her when you
please, and all this when the old folks are
sleeping, when the sound of footsteps are
scattering in the streets, and there is no
one so dear or near you as
"Maggie. dear my own love,
SillIngby my side"

SHEpHERDSTOWN JEFFERSON COUNTY, VA, SATURDAY MORNl
The Princess Royals wedding Dress.

The Princess Royal Of England is now
the conserved of all observers" The
time rolls on which is 10 take her to her
new home and her new country. While
i, is passing, she is looked upon with that
interest it is so natural 10 feel in those we
are about 10 lose.
The wedding robe in which she is first
10 be salule6 in the character of wife Is
progressing, 10 be ready for the day on
which is TO be enacted that most heart
stirring and engrossing event.
The Princess Royal is to be married IN
dress of Honiton lace, as was her au-
gust mother. Those who know the te-
dious nature Of the manufacture will not
be surprised TO hear that its cost amounted
TO one hundred and fifty pounds. We
are not able 10 say what is 10 be the price
of the robe now in preparation, but are
happy to be able to speak of lis artistic
design, which has been approved as we'll
for taste as for patriotism. lis pattern is
composed Of our national emblems, the
rose, the thistle, and The SHAMROCK, beau
tifuly intersperset, and producing effects
equally light, graceful and elegant. When
i, is remembered that every bud and flow
er, spray and sprig, are each and all form
ed by the young lace-maker on the pillow
resting on her knee, the amount of female
labor will appear slupendons. Not the
most tiny leaf, or the swelling OF single
line of meandering stem, but has cost 50
much of human time which is, indeed,
nothing less than human life.
At the same time that this exquisite
and elaborate work is progressing. anoth
er robe is also engaging the time and
