Novel COurtship.

J
was travelling per railroad, in Germany,
from Augsburg to Berlin. The ears, un-
like those here, are divided into compart-
mcn;s, ike TIE inside of coach, the pas
scngcrs sitting facing each other. In the
compartment be selected were four other
PERSONS, two mammas and two daughters.
The two mothers were face to face in one
corner, the young man took the opposite
and found himself face to face with the
young ladies'. lie soon after fell in a
brown study, during which the conductor
demanded his ticket without success, and
the young ladies were secretly laughing at
his bewildered air. Suddenly resorting
to a ruse TO avoid ridicule, he pretended
not to understand German, and transac-
ted his business with the conductor by
signs A moment after, the young ladies
commenced conversation.
"This young man is very handsome
one," said one.
"IIist. Bertha" said the other, with
sort Of alright.
"Why, he doesn't know word Of Ger
man. We can talk freely. How do
you fud him p
"Only ordinary"
"You are diflilent. He has charm
ing figure and distiugue air."
"He is too pale, and, besides, you know
l do not love-dark." ;"
"And you know l prefer dark to blonde.
We have nothing but blonde in Germany.
1t is monotonous and commonplace"
"You forget that you are blonde"
"Oh, for a woman it is different. He
has pretty moustaches."
"Bertha, if your mother should hear
you"
'.Shc is busy with her talk =; besides, it
is no hurt to speak of moustaches."

"They have no expression"
"You do not know. am sure he has
much spirit, aud it is pity he does not
speak German. lie would chat with u.s.
"Would you marry a Frenchman ~
"Why not, if he looks like this one,
and WIS spirited, well-born, and amiable
But | can hardly keep from laughing
See, he doesn't mistrust what We are
saying"
The young traveller was endowed with |
a great power of self fcontrol. He looked
carefully at Bertha, and his resolution
was taken. At new station the coDduc
tor came again for the tickets. Our
young man, with extra elaboration, and in
evrellcn, German, said.
"Ah, you want my ticket. Very we'll

The fleet was startling. Bertha near

the polite apologies of the youug French
man. They were pleased with each other,
aud in a few weeks Bertha ratified her
good opinion Of the young man and her
willingness to marry Frenchman. They

THE FAsHIoNs.-It is now conf
IDENTIFY asserted that the Partisan ladies have repu
dated hoops. The ladies of our country fee
bound to follow the Paris fashions, and they will
please take notice and govern themselves accord
ingly The reform, however, can't be brought
about in day. The hoops here must be let down
slowly The fashionables in France have made
other changes in dress. A writer in Paris urges
our ladies to abolish long skirts in the streets, and
doff so much fnery. He says the French and
English ladies all wear short skirts and show their
pretty ankles with their snow white stockings
The Balmoral under skirt is much worn.

Yesterday. but as they could not make connections
With certain landlords and others to whom they
we're indebted. they did not make their appearance
according to the announcement In the biiis.-ES-

If the above mentioned Dramatic Rotunda were
as much of a humbug as certain equestrian
Troupe which visited our village on Saturday last,
under the cognomen of " Burt Il Robinson's OLD
fashioned circus" the citizens of that place can
thank their stars that they I" failed to connect
Now we do not favor many of the new tangled no
tions of the day. but if this circus is, as 1t CLAIMS
an old fashioned one, we 60 in most heartily 1or
the new fashioned kind. The above institution mas
the appearance of being what might be expected 70
remain of show of this kind after several years OF
hard usage. The pavilion is worn out ana ragged
the horses poor and jaded, and all the appurtenan-
ces to the concern are in exact keeping with the
tent and horses. 1t is a complete hun'6ug from
beginning to end, and We warn the inhabitants OF
other towns where this concern may be advertised,
.uainst patronzing it in any way, shape or manner
We are fond of amusements of most any kind, and
do not object to good circus company among
other things, but must say that we are decidedly
ouposed TO all such humbuggeries and imposltlons
as~ Burt Robinson's old fashioned circus"

STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY,"

meeting of the Executive Committee of the State
Agricultural Society held in the city of De-
trot the 18th and Goth inst, for the purpose OF
receiving bids from the different towns for holding
the State Fair. Mr.. Wilcox, the part of the
citizens of Detroit stated that the subscriptions of
Detroit already amounted to sl70O, which would
be increased, he thought
Mr.. Wells, of Kalamazoo, submitted propositions
from the citizens of that place, and stated that
$500 had been raised, which could be increased
$500 or $500 more.
We hope the Society may see fit to hold the mex
Fair in Kalamazoo, as from its central position we
are inclined to think it would give more genera
satisfaction to the farmers throughout the State.

Why he didn't Vote.

We find the following in the Austin
(Texas) State Gazette, from the late
Senator Henderson, of Texas, giving
his reasons for not voting upon the Kan
sas Conference bill:
PHILADELPHIA, May 3, 1853.
Maj. John Marshall-My Dear Sir
l left Washington city on day before
yesterday evening, just after the final
passage of the Kansas compromise bill
/ did not vote on the bill at its pas.
SAGE. ~
On the morning of the day the bill
finally passed, the President sent TO,
me, and made such an earnest ana
strong appeal to me to cote for the bill
and aid an saving has administrator
and the Democratic party Of the North
as to induce me to le0ye the Senate
Chamber aaadmot cote at all, as Iacoul0
haze felt bound to cote against the bill
If I had yoted.
We are an unfortunate people; and
when we will be able to present the
question in shape to unite the major
ity of our people in standing by theil
rights is hard to foresee.
