YOUNG LADY FOR SALE.

The lines below, from the Charleston Courier,
quite readable though they contain what is
not very true. There are few ladies who can be
bought with money. Indeed, there are not many
gentlemen in fix to purchase, most of them being
themselves for sale:
Here's a maiden for sale; who is willing to buy?
The price which is asked you may deem to be high,
But when you reflect it is a bargain for life,
You will not think it much for beautiful wife.
Bid high, my lads, it would be sin and a shame
To induce "a coy maiden to alter her name,
Less the value received, the price ofthe marriage
Is able to purchase silver tipp'd carriage.
Oh think you, my lads, with magic and art,
To gain or to wheede young maiden's heart;
We've read of such charms; but, away with sigh,
If you wish to get married, my addies, bid high
care very little where you gather your gold,
For that is your secret and it need not be told,
The sale is public and the money once paid
Whether worked for or stolen-has purchased the
maid
Then my loving young laddies, for woe or for weal
If your stout hands labor your light fingers steal,
Quick, gather the money; It's the wonderful art
That win and retain any young maldens S heart.

A MoMENToUs QUESTION.

Will France and England go to War? The
by the Arabia is significant Of the possibility
if not the probability, of such deporablc event.
Another of those ominous aud mysterious leading
articles has appeared in the columns Of the organ
Of the French government, and it has given rise
to a good deal of angry comment in the London
Journals. A letter has also been published in a
paper at Brussels, of a still more menacing charac
ter stating in effect that the Emperor made peace
with Austria merely for the purpose Of putting
down the naval supremacy of Great Britain, and
that unless the English Cabinet would tamely sub
NIT to having their naval estimates fixed by France
there must be a war between the two powers
W hat gives this letter greater importance than it
would otherwise have, the fact that it Was
written by an extraordinary Paris correspondent,
supposed to be in the confidence of the Emperor
Louis Napoleon, himself from the noteworthy
circumstance that the paper containing it was ad-
mitted by authority at the frontier, whereas all
the issues Of the same paper containing articles
bearing on the relations of France and England
have heretofore been stopped. Meanwhile the
preparations for increase Of the navy of England
have been going on as vigorously as ever, and the
dockyards of Plymouth and Woolwich ring with
an "anvil chorus"

REWARD OF HONESTY.
Bedutjfat and Touching Inclden

johnny Moore is the name of brighteyed, jolly
faced lad twelve or fourteen years of age whose
invalid and widowed mother, living Morgan
street. he helps to support by the sale of newspa-
pers and by such errands and small jobs as he may
chance to tall in with. Johnny, who is the hero
of the pleasant and truthful incident about
to record is extremely neat in his attire, though
his clothes may not have always been the BEST and
may have shown in sundry patches and mended
rents the results of both poverty and frugal care.
In short, j Johnny is just such boy as we used to
"read about" in Sunday School books. Yesterday
morning he was trudging along Broadway, between
Franklin Avenue and Washington street, when he
chanced to stumble against large pocketbook,
which he picked up and found to contain large
number of bank notes and papers While he was
meditating on the sudden riches he had amassed,
and which he had slid into capacious pocket, or
perhaps racking his youthful mind whether to seek
the owner or conceal his fortune, gentleman
rushed by him in anxious hurried, nervous
manner which convinced the boy he was looking
for something, and he thought he knew what.
Have you lost anything?" asked johnny
"Yes-my pocketbook," was the gentlemans an
swer "have you seen 1t Z!
The little fellow expected" he had-he didn't
know, though. What kind of pocket-book was it!
This led to an adjournment to a neighboring
store where the flushed and almost breathless in
dividual of the first part proceeded to say that
the pocket-book was large black one, containing
one thousand two hundred dollars in bank bills,
and some accounts, strip of red morocco binding
underneath the flap being inscribed Robert
Thomas, Covngton, KY" The description tailed,
and Johnny's eyes snapped with cheerfulness as
he placed the treasure just he had found it, into
the strangers hands; and we opine there was
greater joy in that one act than ten thousand dol
lars could have purchased, at the expense Of
guilty conscience:
Mr. Thomas hardly seemed to know which to
feel most-reef on the recovery of the money and
papers, or gratitude to the lad and admiration of
his honesty. Taking Johnny by the hand, whose
bounding heart Che knew not why) had by this
time "splashed tears into his eyes" the gentleman
took him to clothing store and dressed him from
top to toe, in bran suit Then, proceeding
t, jewelry store, purchased good silver watch,
upon which he directed tobe engraved these words:
"Robert Thomas to little Johnny Moore. st.
Louis, Sept Sd, 1859. Honesty is the best policy"
Not even content with this, the generous stranger
placed in neat beed purse five twenty dollar gold
pieces which he directed the lad to give his mother
We shall not attempt to portray the feelings of
the boy. If his quivering lips, and choked utter
ance and the smile that strove hard to get thro
the great watery globes that trembled in his eyes,
failed to tell what was going in his heart, how
shall we tell it?-St. Louis Republican, Sept. s.

A HORRIBLE KIND OF SLAVERY.

The German papers of New York and California
commenting upon a white slave traffic carried
in this country of the most revolving and terrible
description. 1t is a regular traffic carried on in
young girls, generally from eight to fifteen years of
age, who are annually imported from certain Ger
man districts to the large cities on our Atlantic
and Pacific coast, where they ostensibly en-
ployed by day street beggars, with accordeons,
guitars, tambourines, but who are secretly a
source of immense profit to their owners by being
prostituted to the worst class of rogues .-
The villages of Neiderveisch, Hochweisel Few
erback, and Minister, are those from which they are
mostly exported. The authorities do not connive
at this atrocious business; on the contrary, they
make the most vigorous efforts to suppress it, and
the men who take the girls, (called laudloa/er, or
vagabonds,) whether with without the consent
of their parents, are punished, when detected in
the severest manner Some of them are said to
have amassed twenty or thirty thousand dollars by
this nqutous traffic in few years. According
to one Of the journals which describes this most
monstrous Of slave trades, it is a custom Of the
idudioafer to buy up debts which the poor, simple
peasants owe, and then give them the alternative
of suffering their daughters to go to America or
Australia, holding out the prospect of what in
Germany is handsome annual income. Cafor-
MIA, it is said, has been filled with these wretched
little beings, who, under the name Of apprentices,
are really Slaves and have no redress against beat
ing, plundering and personal violation. In Aus
tralia they protected by law, but in this coun-
try they have no protection.
The New York Alend Zeiung says that they
are "not slaves merely in the sense that they must
work for their masters; not merely that they are
slaves in the body, but also slaves in spirit and in
soul; they must, without hope, suffer every germ
of goodness to be extnguished in them. At night
they are sent to dance-cellars, into the very hot
beds of sin and corruption; by day they must
swarm the streets, and SO they wander over the
land, everywhere, in closest intimacy with cruelty
and vice. If they amass a few hundred dollars,
their masters take them away by force; when they
complain, they are cast aside with the information
that they are slaves in body and soul"
Whilst the abolition phlanthropists are making
terrific outcry the alleged importation of ship
load of African savages to country where they
will be clothed, fed, civilized and Chrstianized,
why do they not launch their thunders at this trade
in the souls as well as bodies of civilized and
Christian race carried on under their own eyes!

g. }EIGHTh VoLUME--NUMBER $751;
CHALLENGE TO M. BLoNDIN.

The local editor of the Mexican Citizen, throws
out the following aughable challenge to NJ. Blondln:
A single telegraph wire shall be extended from the
American to the Canada shore, without single
guy, directly over the cataract at Niagara Falls.
The "Local" of this paper wearing pair OF
cowhide boots and dressed in the costume OF
female Dutch cook, will proceed to the middle OF
the wire, with common clay pipe as balancing
pole, driving before him hog and COW, and
carving on his back cooking stove, coop OF
chickens, bed and bedding, keg of lager beer
q barber's chair, and various cooking utensils lie
will then unload himself and Immediately go to
bed
After snooze of fifteen minutes he will rise,
dress himself, take glass Of beer, milk the cow,
kill the hog and dress it, cook fresh pork for
breakfast, after which he will eat a VOLTS meal
He will then throw one hundred and thirty
summer sauts, sucking an egg while in the air
at each evolution alighting the last time on the
cows horn, and while in this position will take the
chicken coop, and after having taken the chickens
out one at a time and wrung their necks con-
secutively will balance the coop on the tip end OF
his nose, balance the cooking stove on his right
hand thumb, balance the bed-stead on his left
thumb, at the same time finishing the beer and
making Dutch speech to the admring crowds on
either shore After which-after the manner OF
Levi Norths celebrated one horse act-the 'Local'
will perform the one COW act. The foreman OF
this paper will then come out on the wlre
blindfolded and shackled, walking on his hands
Then there will be a representation of Heenan and
Morrissy's prize fight, in which the "Local" and
foreman will exchange sundry knocks and kicks,
and black eyes, The last scene will be both parties
standing on their heads and will, in this predicament
play rub of twenty-one games of old sledge for
the treat of all hands The whole to conclude
with representation of some of the loving scenes
in Romeo and Juliet.
The above feat will beat Blondin's rope walking
but will prove that the performer is just as great
a fool.

BIG SNAKE.-Mr Samuel Hawkins, living in
Mt. Crawford, Rockingham county, Va, shot an
enormous bull-snake few days ago, about mile
from Mt. Crawford, in what is known as Cedar
Ridge. The snake, says the Register, was eleven
feet in length, and its body foot in cir
cumference. 1t was in pursuit of younger broth
er of Mr. Hawkins, making kind of believing
noise peculiar to Eis serpent when it shot. Its
teeth were an inch in length

NORTH CAROLINA DRIED FRUIT.-A cores
pondent of the Fayetteville Observer says: ''From
the 1st OF July up to the 18th Of September, there
sent off from High Point Station, on the N. e..
Railroad 1889 pounds of dried fruit 500 lbs.
of this quantity was sent to Indiana. About $1,000
worth of dried blackberries have been sent to one
man." The correspondent suggests that dried per-
simmons might be made profitable article of
trade, as they command high price. They are
as plentiful as sced-ticks in this State.

FALLING LEAVES.


BY SUSAN j. HANCOCK.
The leaves are falling one by one,
Scared by Septembers burning sun,
And patterng on the window sill
The clouds their cooling drops distill,
And here | sit and muse alone
On hopes, like summer flowers, flown.
My little ones have crept away
Scared by the lightning's vivid play,
And hushed is every sound Of mirth,
While rolling thunders shake the earth;
The little birds have SOU oht their nest
The rushing winds are awed to rest.
But now more slowly drops the rain,
The thunder peal dies Ger the plain;
The air is hushed and scarce a sound
Breaks on the stiffness so profound, ...
But hark! there sighs gentler breeze,
And a faded leaf whirls from the trees,
A faded leaf, withered and sere-
Harbinger Of the dying year;
1t speaks in tones that all may hear,
Prepare, the winter draweth near;
The summers gone with bird and flower
The luscious fruit and genial shower.
Fen now the chill autumnal breeze
Is signing its dirge among the trees;
1t tells US mortas we must die,
All faded on the cold earth lie,
1t warns US life though bright is brief
And withers as the falling leaf
1t tells US how frail are the bright things of earth,
How fectng its joye-how short lived its mirth;
To day in his glory man rcars his proud head,
Disease breathes upon him, and 10! he is dead.
1t bids us be watchful, be pray rful, be true,
Be up and adding what our hands find to do.
1t tells us hopes wither as fast as they bloom
That life's but span from the birth to the tomb.
1t bids us remember times passing away
That all things created tend fast to decay.
As spring with its verdure and garland of leaves
Gives place unto summer with its clusterd trees
And summer, in turn, yields to autumn the palm,
While winter, bleak winter, soon brings up the van
