The New Orleans Delta tells the fol-
lowing story:
A young lady, an only daughter of a
very fond, devoted and scrupulous faith
or, was sent to a fashionable boarding
house, where she became the compan-
ION Of another young lady, who rejoiced
in one of those peryersions of maseu-
line names for which some ladies' have a
great affection; in other words, her name
was Richardetta, and she was commonly
known among the girls as "Dicky -
Writing to her father the new young
lady at this fashionable school assured
him that she was so happy, as she haC
/ for her roommate "sweet little Dicky
] H."
"Blood and thundcr" exclaimed the
old gentleman, "is this a specimen of
the morality of your fashionable board
ing schools?" Ordering his carriage, hi
started Immediately for the academy
and on his arrival, asked to be showr
into his daughters room, where ht
found her sitting very afectionately il
the lap Of another young lady. Tn.
affectionate girl rushed forward to gree
the indignant father, who, drawing
himself up very frowningly, ezolaim
ed
"Where is that rascal?"
"Who, papa?"
"That Dieky you wrote about, who i
your room mate"
"Why, there she is" exclaimed tn
innocent damsel, throwing her arm
around the innocent cause Of so mucl
anguish. The hasty old gentleman wa
perfectly disgusted with himself, and al
so with the confounded bad taste Of
giving girls boys names.

"I WOULD I WERE A Boy AGAIN. "
1--WE talk of Adam and Eve as hav-
ing been before the fall in a very happy
condition, but one thing they missed
they were never children. ."-[Cor. Alb.
Reg.
True. We never thought of that
Adam never played marbles" He
never skated on a pond or played "ball'
or rode down hill on a hand sleigh
And Eve, she never made a play house,
she never took tea with another little
girl from the little tea table set out
with the tea things; she never rolled a
hoop or jumped rope, or pieced a ba-
by quilt, or dressed a doll. They never
played "blind mans buff, or "hurly
burly," or any Of the games with which
childhood sports itself How blank
the T age must have been, wherein nc
memories Of early youth came swelling
up in their hearts; no visions Of child
hood floating back from the long past
no mothers voice chanting lullaby tc
the ear of fancy, in the still hours of
the night--no fathers voice Of kind
ness speaking from the church-yart
where he sleeps Adam and Eve, anl
they alone of all the countless million
ofmen and women that have lived had n
childhood.

TnE +. +. V's-The origination of the term, the
First Family of Virginia" is thus explained by an
exchange
In the early settlement Of that State It was found
impossible to coonize IL unless women went there,
Accordingly, ship load was set out, but no planter
was allowed to marry one of them unit, he had first
paid one hundred pounds of tobacco for her passage
When the second ship load came 40 one would paw
more than seveniy-ive pounds for the matrimonial
privilege except II were very superior article Con-
seucniy the descendants of all those who were sold
TOR one hundred pounds of tobacco were ranked az
the llst families, while those who brought but seven
ty-lvc pounds are now ranked as the second families
ana the reason why no one find any of the
second families, is because you can't get vrgnan
