The following en- braces a very ex-
quisite lesson on gentillity.
A gentleman from Boston CHANGED to
find himself among a little party of ladies
away down East, last summer, and while
in the enjoyment of some innocent play,
he carelessly placed his arm around the
waist of as pretty damsel as Maine can
boast of, when she started and exclaimed,
"Be done: sir! Don't insult me-" The
gentleman Instantly apologised for the
seeming rudeness, and assured the half
offended fair one that / 9 did not intend
to insult her. "No" she replied archly.
"Well, if you didn't, you may do so
again.! )"

A SLIGHT DIFFERENcE.-We lately
saw a little anecdotc, the gist of which
was rs follows. A venerable old clergy
man was writing an address to young men,
and growing enthusiastic exclaimed 81
love to look on young man. There is
a hidden poetry within his breast which
charms and pains me- The preacher
had occasion to leave his study and his
charming daughter happening to step in
noticed the above and added: "Them's
my sentiments exactly, papa,-aH but the
pains"
We don't know whether the minister
considered his daughters sentiments or
thodox or not, but we do.

AHEAD OF WEBsTER.-We lately saw
definition which is ahead of anything
in 'Webster's Unabridged" A minister
was preaching to his Sabbath School
scholars and exhorting them TO follow the
example of pious Timothy. Speaking of
what Timothy did not do, the worthy
pastor said 'he did not smoke CIGARS"
and added, "do you know what cigar
is?" eyes siree,' shouted an urchin far
advanced in morals and intellect, 'its the
end ofMe devVs tail"

Nor GIVEN UP YET.-A short time
since the n. Y. Tribune and other lead
ing papers congratulated their readers
on the fact that the South had probably
given up trying to force Kansas int, the
Union with the Lecompton Constitution,
as Senator Brown of Mississippi had de-
clined to speak on the question because he
considered the case hopeless.
1t appears the papers were in an error
and Senator Brown thus closes an article
to the n. Y. Herald:
| have not shadow of doubt that
it will be admitted with the Lecompton
Constitution, and this without the slight
est regard to any vote that may have
been cast on the 4th inst.
If you and the Tribune had assumed
that l declined speaking because thought
the question already settled in our favor,
you would have been quite nearer the
mark.
Yours respectfully,
A. G. Brown.
We know faith works wonders some
times, but We hardly think it is sufficient
for the task of working the Lecompton
Constitution through Congress.

Nearly four years ago the Minnesota Weekly
Times came before the public, and from that
period to the present il has been battling for
the cause of freedom and the rights of man,
regardless of the ties of party or the sncers and
jibes of partzan leaders. By pursuing con-
sistcnt and straightforward career, by persist
emf devotion to principles, it has won its way
to public favor, and notwithstanding it is the
youngest of the city press, it has attained
very large and rapidly increasing circulation.
This has been accom- lished not by a 81 stem
of self-laudation, but by the spontaneous pat
ronage of its friends throughout Minnesota and
the Eastern States.
The Tin e. has ever advocated and will con-
tinue 10 advocate, the cause OF the people, and
i'll doing so it has advocated the cause of the
great Republican party whose principles it has
warmly espoused and will defend to the best
OF its ability. 1t never has and never will pam
der to the vices of the vicious, and never finch
