do not see any good aud sufficient reason
for such complaint. As for ourselves, we
get along very we'll so long as we do not
have to pay out any money. We have
quit paying our debts. at least until we
get something to pay them with; AM if we
can obtain the required amount of provis-
ions to preserve the unity supposed to ex-
ist between the soul and body. without
paying for it, it is all tha. is required for
the present emergency. To be plain about
the matter--aEd it is no trivial one--our

Mattingly and the Delin-

Mattingly. in his paper of the 6;h, as
usual, instead of attempting to reply to our
article about the Delinquent List, runs Oh
after some mares nest, and talks about the
author of our editorials That article was
written by d. Mcdonald aud no one else.
Mattingly says if the author don't mind
his own business he will find himself in
trouble, DC. Now the author of that ar
ticle attends strictly to his own business,
and il Mattinsly will say 10 his face what
he puts in his paper he will be happy TO
make feeling response by way of remin :
der that he can attend to his own business
and help him to some besides.
We intend 10 try to keep register OF
the deliberate lies he publishes, if we can
hire clerks enough to write them. and if at
the end of the year they will not equal four
ffths of his editorial matter, we will try
and present him with skunk's hide to
make him cap, so ne can have with him
his tavorite perfume always and not be SO

Love in a Tunnel; or, Kissing

Many amusing anecdotes of ven;rlloquist
have been published, and many more told
that have not been published. But We
think there are few veutriloquial incidents
that will compair with one we Witnessed
recently on the cars of the Virginia Cen
tral Railroad We have often read anee-
dotes of Nichols, Kenworthy, Love
Sutton, Harrington and Biz but we
think the following actual occurrence will
bear favorable mention side by side with
either:
The cars left Charlottesville for Saun-
ton, at 2 NJ, and entered the tunnel, which

We had hardly been shut out from daylight
when noise was heard in the rear end of
the last car. The conductor and several
passengers, were standing on the platoon

the cause of the disturbance. But owing
10 the extreme darkness, nothing could be
seen, while patiently waiting to hear the
slightest movement which might explain
the excitement, boistrous noise, resem-
bling the sound produced by fervent kiss
ing. and at the same moment a female voice
was heard exclaming;
"GGt out you brute! Let me alone! I'll
call the conductor! Keep your hands off,
siri This is shame full"
Where is he?" cried the conductor, In
in an angry tone. approaching the direct
ion in which the sounds proceeded.
"Here!' says the lady, ''this end Of the
car; arrest him! He insulted me shameful.
Here he is again Will You let me alone?

The language was concluded by an ex

highly excited. but owing to the darkness
and the uncertainty that existed from where
TIE sounds proceeded, nothing was done.

closed with banging sound. which made

far along as to measure off ten yards of
tape with one of these girls, and cut it off
short at each end, he may stand chance
to pass pleasant evening, but let him not
flatter himself that all trials of the even
ing are over. There comes at last the
breaking up. The dear girls don their
hoods, and put on their shawls and look so
saucy, and mischievous, and unimpressible
as ifthey did not wish any one to 90 home
with them. Then comes the pinch, and
the boy that has the most pluck makes up
to the prettiest girl his heart in his throat,
and his tongue clinging to the roof of his
mouth, and crooking his elbow stammers
out the words, Shall l see you home!'
She touches her fingers to his arm, and
they walk home about foot apart, feeling
as awkward as couple of goslings. As
soon as she is safe inside her own doors,
he struts home, and he thinks he has re-
ally been and gone and done it. Sleep
comes to him at last, with dreams of erin
oline and calico, and he awakens in the
morning and finds the doors Of life open
to him, and the pigs squealing for break
fast.
CONCLUDING REFLECTIONS.
We have passed over churning and learn
ing the catechism because we are fearful
of making our article too long, although
we might have talked of butter that would
not be persuaded to come, and perplexities
of Il literary turn of mind and head that
measured seven and quarter. when asked
what the chief end of man was. Boyhood
is green passage in mans experience in
more senses than one. 1t is pleasant
thing to think over and laugh about now,
though it was serious enough then. Many
of our present trials are as ridiculous as
those which now touch the risables in he
recollections, and when we get to the other
world and look back upon this and upon
the infancy of the soul through which we
passed here, we have no doubt that we
shall grin over the trials which we exp.ri-
enced when We lost our fortunes, when our
mills were swept away or burned, and
when we didn't get elected to The Legisla-
ture. Men are but boys of larger growth.
