1t is all mistaken point that ladies need be
dressed in fnrs and silks and feathers to win the
admiration of young men. We know of half
dozen young men who fell in love with their wives
when dressed in the plainest clothing
At late bali in Baltimore, gentleman (proba-
young lady whose attractions, personal and CONVEX
satonal seemed to have made impression on his
sensibIties, asked to have the pleasure Of seeing
her the following evening. ..
"Why no. sir re. lied the fair one, II shall be
engaged Tomorrow evening, but will tell you
when you me-"
81 shall be most happy exclaimed the stricken
swain
WELL on Saturday, resumed the lady, "you
can see ne at the foot OF Marsh Is market, selling
cabbage"
The gentleman went, the usefulness of the
lady, still more entranced with her, and they
were married shortly after

At debating club in certain town in Con
nccticut the question up for discussion one evening
was-Which is the most potent element, fire
water? The first man upon the floor was Uncle
Zcb York, perfect original character who at once
settled the question, to the entire satisfaction of
ALL thus: "}Iy friends, just you take a swamp
apple, which YOU all know is full of water, and
hold it in your mouth while then take it out
and put in "a bell pepper; | rather reckon then
you will find out pretty quick which has got the
most spunk int

Wholesale. DENTAL 0pERATIos.-During
the thunder shower that passed over the town Of
Petersham, Mass, last week, bolt OF lightning
passed down a rod attached to the residence of
Mrs Pierce The lady was sitting at the window
Immediately adjacent the rod at the time, and was
somewhat stunned. But curious to relate, she
was greatly asNnished to find, examination,
that every one of her teeth had been extracted by
the shock without her knowing it, and were laying
about loose on the floor

From "Simms' Poems


EI,EGIAC---"DEARw ANDERER."
Dear wandcrcr from thy boyhood's hearth,
To homes that made thee native there;
Thou hadst u blessed gift at birth,
To make thee welcome everywhere.
Alas that love, who welcomed fond,
Should not possess the power to save;
Denied to keep-all power beyond
To watch thy couch, to deck thy grave:
'Twcre vain to say that thou vast dear,
Where truth, and love, and virtue, shcne;
More vain, if we could keep thee hero
To say thou hadst not from us gone.
What love, and art, and watch, could do,
Were done for thce,-Alas. in vain:
With sinking hearts, We could but view,
Not soothe, not stay, nor share thy pain!
So calm and placid, sweet and clear,
Thine eyes last gentle meaning shonc,
We knew some higher, happier sphere,
Had surely claimed thee for its own:
Yet felt those sorrows gil each breast,
That still our selfish loss deplore;
And grieved to see the Being blessed,
That ever blessed our hearts before.
The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1858-11-02

SKILLFUL SURGICAL OPERATIoN.--Som eight
months ago, Mr. Addison Holden, Of Leasburg
North Carolina while shooting fowling- piece,
had the misfortune Of getting percussion cap bu-
nfamed and he suffered the most circulating pain
from it. The young man was taken to the most
eminent surgeons in State and the eye operated
on but to little effect, farther than to modify the
excitement and alay the pain--the buried cap re-
manned, until few days ago. Doctor Wootten, of
Danvlle, Virginia, who happened to be passing
through Lcasburg, met Mr. Holden in the road, and
learning the condition of his eye, got out of his
sulky and cut the cap out with his pen-knifc -
The operation was one that required the incest
skill in optical surgery, and il performed by
master hand.
