PHILOSOPHY OF CoURTING.-The fol-
lowing scrap may interest here and there q
Young man in Dubuque. We know not
its author: sThere are few operations
which one has to perform in life, that re-
ouire more delicate management, more
truly scientific skill, than that of counting.
One Of the most perplexing problems a
bout the business, is-How long should
ones labors in this line be protracted p
There are some daring lovers who carry
the heart they wish to capture, at once by
storm; while Others besiege the flint wall
ed affections of their mistresses for period
greater than, Greeks required to besiege
and sack Ilium. The best rula, probably,
IS to be neither too cowardly not too bold
in your courtship. The Bonepartean sys-
tenn is the best for the majority of persons
to adopt. Concentrate the forces Of your
charms on the enemy weakest points, and
depend upon it, her human nature can't
resist you long. When she begins to
yield, bring up and charge with the lmpe-
rial Guard of your 'corner-lots,' bank stocks
and mortgages, and the battle is won."--

GyThe Democratic presses of the
State are endeayoring to make capital out
of the submission of the colored suffrage
question to the people. They charge that
it is Republican measure, and their proof
consists in the fact that the law submitting
the question was passed by Republican
Legislature, and received the sanction of a
epubicanGovernor. We have the same
evidence that this question has been sDem-
ocratic measure; for it was submitted once
before, and the law was passed by strong
ly democratic Legislature, and approved by
Nelson Dewey, whose democracy was

Or heard a kind familiar tone,
They thought the wanderer was at home.
And years went by; the parents hair

Aud still their brother came not home.
They know not that his form was laid,
Low IN the earth, meath the cedar's shade,
That no stone marked the spot to tell
Where slept the one they cherished well.
They may wait and watch for him full long;
But he'll come not to his early home,
He'll meier return to Hudson's shore,

The fiat ribbon Of rail, extending 50 far

hold the vast, ponderous weight of iron
upon it. For relief from the terrors you
conjured up, you turn to the engineer and
venture q remark. He does not look
around, his hand is on the lever, his eyes
steadily fixed on the track. Just then the
fireman ri rings the bell for a crossing. You
can see it swing, but in the crash and
thunder OF your progress you hear no
sound, and then you think that the engi-
Ineerf perhaps did sot hear your voice.
The fireman is constantly busy. He
piles up the wood in easy distances and

into the furnace, the devouring flames seize
them with a fierce avidity and eats into
their substance, penatrates their pores, and

witnessed. ~
You take another look at the track and
gain a new sensation, for wherever the
rail is little settled the engine sinks down
upon it and it seems as if the whesls and

machine about to crush down in one fatal
smash up, 81"
