MARRYING HER CoACHMAS.-An lrishman
named John Dean has just issued legal pro-
ceedings in New York to get possession of his
alleged wife, who is the daughterof his employ
or, named Boxer, an extensive importer of wing
and liquors. The young lady is - years old,
and Deans affidavit alleges that She is shut up
in her fathers house against her will, and that
he was married to her on the 4th instant by
Rev. Mr. Hatfield. 1t appears that Mir. Boxer
has place at Tarrytown, and Deanis his coaci-
man. During the absence of Mr.. Il. in TINS
city attending to his business, Dean was IN the
habit of taking the daughter out riding in her
fathers carriage, and through this kind of in
tercourse according to Dcaa's story, became
enamored Of each other, which fact coming to
the ears of Mr.. b.. he dismissed the colchmun
from his service. Dean, through family ser
want, found means, however, Of communicating
with Mary, and being in the city on the occasion
referred to, he met her by appointment, and
they were secretly married.-N. Y. ELpress

Indian Names.

The following passage from speech
by Wilson, Chief Of tho Cayagas, is tru-
" eloqucn':
''The land Of Cananowah, which you
so proudly call the Empire State, was
once interlaccd BY our trails from Albany
to Buffalo-trails SO deeply indented by
the feet of the Iroquois that YOU have
made them the highroads Of commerce.
Do you want to blot our name out OF
your historys You cannot! Your no.
blest rivers - your largest cities = your
most flourish.ng towns-yodr most fertile
valleys, and your broadcast lakes, which
bear upon their bosom the produce Of our
country, viii stand as eternal monuments
to the children Of the pale face, that the
red men lived here before you. When
your fathers came and sat upon tie door
stone of the longhousc, and gladly partook
Of the swccp;ngs Of its floor, the French
were laundering at the door to get admit
lance and to drive you into the seas. II
my fathers had allowed Thorn an entrance
whatever might hayo been the fate of
other Indians-the Iroquois would be a
nation, and IL instead Of standing here
begging and imploring permission for my
injured race to linger yet awhile upon
your borders--I would have had coun-
try," .t.t.-

SNAKES.

Peter Discompte, of Urbana, while
working on the prairie near that place,
caught rattlesnake and Gagged it. Peter
thought he was the possessor of an infall-
ihle secret to cure the poison Of sorpents
and he accordingly let his pet Snake bite
him q few days since '.just for the fun Of
it." But there was something wrong
about his marvellous cure. 1t was imme
diately applied but afforded no relief and
Peter Descompte died. Peter Descomp-
te was fool! 1t is hard expression to
Use about the dead, but it will be the YER
dict of nlnety-nine out of every hundred
of those who sit at the Judgement on his
case.
But neither all the fools nor all the
snakes live in Champaign county. We
have pet snakes here-snakes in jugs and
quart bottles-snakes by the small and
berrels and pipes of snake. Everybody
has snake. One has a jug of fine old
Bourbon snake. with which he bites him
self three times day, while another owns
rare reptile of foreign extraction, with
which he is repeatedly bitten and bites
his friends. Snake lies in wait for us at
the corner. Snakes feed on the morals of
the rising and are reduplicated in the
boots of our young men.
And still we labor under the Authorization
that we have an infallible remedy for the
bite. God help us we are greater fools
than Peter Descomptc ! Coles Co. Led

Rats i'm the Night.

Next to the winds, our night-expcrience
in early boyhood was much affected by
rats. The old house seems to have been
favorite of this curious vcrmin. There
is something in the short hot glitter of a
rats eye that has never ceased to affect
us unpleasantly. We. could not help i'm
agining them to be the mere receptacles
Of mischievous spirits, and their keen eyes
had always kind Of hooking expression
as if they said, You think we are rats,
but if we get hold Of you, you will know
that We ars good deal moro than that :
We never could estimate how many pop
ulated our old house. III, walls seemed
like city th,roughfarcs, and tue ceiling
like Forum or Roman thcstra. We
used to lie in bed and marvel at what was
going on. Sometimes there would be a
great stiffness, rs if they had all gone to
meeting. Then again they would troop
about with such swell of liberty and glad
ness, that it was quite plain the meeting
was out. But nothing ever amused and
scared us so much as their way of going
up and down the partitions. AT flrst up
would come one. then another, and finally
quire bevy, squeaking and frollicking as
if they were school boys going up stairs
nipping each other and cutting up all
manner of pranks. Then came still
ness. Next, prernonitory rat would rush
down, evidently full of news, and immedi-
ately down would pour after him stream
of rats, rushing like mad, and apparently
tumbling heels over head. By-and by,
some old sawyer would commence where
be left off the night before, cutting the
same partition. To this must be added

POETRY.
The Old, Old story.

Summer moonbeams softly playing,
Light the woods Of Castle Keep;
And there see maiden straying,
Were the darkest shadows creep;
che is listening-meekly purely,
To the wooer by her side;
It's the "old, old story" surely.
Running on like time and tide.
Maiden fair, oh ! have care;
Vows arc many-truth is rare.
He is courtIy, she is simple;
LordIy doublets speaks his lot;
Sic is wearing hood and wimPlo--
us the castle, hers the cot;
sweeter far she deems his whisper
Than the night-bird's dulcet thrill;
She is snliling-he beguiling-
IT'S the '.old, old story" still.
Maiden fair, oh have care;
Vows are niany-trtth is rare.
The autumn syn is quickly gong
Behind the woods of Castle Keeps '.
Tie air is chin-the night wind flowing,
And there / see a maiden weep.
Her cheeks are hite-her brow is aching
The cold. old story" sad and brief;
Of heart betrayed and left nigh breaking.
In mute despair and lonely grief,
Maiden fair, oh have care;
Vows are many-truth is rare.

Swearing.


'sTrust not the promise of q common
swearer," SAYS Francis Quarles in his En-
chirdon, 'for he that dare sin against his
God, for neither profit nor pleasure, will
trespass against thee for his own advan-
tape. He that dare break the precepts Of
his father, will easily be persuaded to VIC
late the promise unto his brother" There
is good common sense in this advice, and
It would be well if it were generally acted
on. There are no doubt, many great ras-
Gals who never swear, and perhaps q few
men of otherwise good conduct, w ho oc-
-casionally transgress the commandment
but of the common swearer," the man
whose every other word is an oath, and
who cannot perform the most trivial or
even disgraceful act without profanely in
voking the name of the Supreme Being,
bot little good can be said. He may be
successful in business, shrewd in worldly
dealings, and courageous in facing danger
but in the qualities that make true
gentleman and Christian, he is sadly def

good literature, who is agreeable to those
in whose society he is thrown, and whose
name is but another word for honor and
probity, and he viii never be found one

is may be seen by the dislike men of re-
ally good breeding evinee to the society
of these swearing pretenders. Our rising
generation, with the human failing of
learning that which is not good, are sadly
tainted with the vice of profane swearing.
