hundred sons arr7yed in gowns of flowing white their
heads smothered in black cows waists encrcled with CIR

bands, they seemed oobort of dead resuTrected
from the grave and doomed to perform cxpiatory phi

A Tale Of Unrequited Love.

The editor of the Yreka Union relate s
as follows how be once fell in love and
"got the mitten!"
We were never, kind reader, "desperately
in love- but once, and that was with a red
mo "aubnrn"haired girl with a freekled
complexion, and had but. few pretensions
to beauty; but then she had such really
beautiful eyes-deep liquid orbs, through
which her soul in moments Of tenderness
looked out with passionate fervor, and
in Joyous mirth flashed and spakled with
light Of a thousand-dew drops-dia-
monds we were going to say; but then
we never saw thousand diamonds. Her
name was Laura-which when breathed
softly by very soft lover, is avery sweet
name-and her clear ringing laugh fell
all around you like a shower Of silver
bells. Moreover, she wore dark wine
colored dress, trimmed with lilac-colored
velvet and black fringe, with neat little
white collar of fine lace which is one of
the prettiest of dresses, and has the effect
to make very plain girl look absolutely
charming. She never perforated her ears
to hang thereby pendulum OF brass and
glass, and the only ornament on the little
white hand. which needed none, was
plain gold ring, sacred to the memory of
a maiden promise. Well, one evening
it was moonlight in the summer time
we sat alone on the porch by the cottage
door holding that littlt white hand in a
gentle pressure; one arm stolen around
her waist and silent song Of JOY, like
the Emusic of the night" was incur soul.
Our lips met in sweet, delicious kiss,
and .nding softly to her ear we whisper
ed a tale of passionate DEVOTION we pro-
posed, and-the little red-headsd oiren
refused as! .aoaoa

Wkat the Skates did for "a
Bachelor.

A country bachelor, who had held out
against thander and lightning, Niagara,
pic-nics, moonlight, and sea shore, thus
chronicles his fall before the skates:
"Well, sir, this Mary caught the Ska
ting fever, which is now raging fearfully.
| heard her express a wish for pair of
skates, and the next day she had the best
pair that could be found in the city, and
nobody knew who sent them to her
We went down upon the ice, and there
that little devil of a Mary just sat quietly
down, ordered me on my knees, aud
placed that foot, the foot in my lap. and
bld me put on her skate. Sir! had We.
nus dropped down from Heaven and bid
me rub her down with rotten stone aid
oil, it could not have astouished me more
than when that divine foot was placed in
my unworthy lap. felt very faint, but
[ buckled on the skate, and stood up,
with Merry by my side. Have you ever
taught q woman 70 sLatea No; we'll, let
me tell you. You've seen Kaleidoscope
with a few old bits of glass, etc., in tin
tube, and turning it, have seen all sorts
of beautiful figures.
just imrgine kaleidoscope, and in
place Of beads and broken glass, please
substitute blue eyes, curving cyclashes,
lips, ivory, wavy hair, crinoline, CATER

darts, clap of thunder, flash of light

the center of system with all these
things revolving round you, and violet
bank breathing signs upon you nil the
while, and you have Mary and her victim
in the first skating lesson. Mary and
start--she on my left arln---all square.
First, Mary's dear little gaitcr boots pro-
sent themselves to my astonished vision,
and, before have time to wonder how
they came UP before mo, | feel them
pressing their blessed beauty, with en-
phas:s, into the pit of my stomach. Next

bonnet, and a divine head, comes pitching
into my waistcoat with such force thst
feel the buttons against my spine. @
Next-Mary gazcs at me from be.

sed little nose was thrust into my shirt
bosom. b! my friend, all research and
study on the mysterious subject of woman
has been comparatively in vain, till, in
this eventtul year Of 1859, the fashion of
skating has opened new and varied sour
ces of information. Do you remember
your first attempt at driving tandcni!
Do you remember how that internal per-
verse beast that you selected for leader
would insist on turning short round, ard
staring You in the face, as if to ask, 'what
the deuce you'd be at 2" Well, just you
90 and try woman on skates, that's all
Just try it. All! won't you come to-
the conclusion that women have sundry
and divers ways of accomplishing their
objects? Dear Mary! l offered myself
to her every time she turned up or came
round. / am hers"
