Going Home aoith the Giris.-The
Ien,rance into society may be said to take
place after boyhood has passed away, yet
a multitude take the initiative before their
boards are presentable. 1t is great trial,
either TO a tender or tough age. For an
overgrOwn boy TO 90 TO door, knowing
that there are dozen girls inside, and 10
knock or ring with absolute certainty that
in two minutes all their eyes will be upon
him, is severe test of courage. To 60
before these girls and make satisfactory
tour Of the room without stepping on their
toes, and then TO sit down and dispose OF
ones hands, without putting them into
ones pockets, is an achievement which
few boys can boast. If a boy can gel so
far as measure off ten yards Of tape with
one of these girls, and cut it short at each
end, he NAV stand chance to pass a
pleasant evening but let him not fatter
himself that all the trials Of the evening
are over. There comes at last the break
ing up. The dear girls don their hoods,
and put on their shawls, and look so sau-
cy and mischievous, and unlmpressible,
as if they cid not wish any one 10 90
home with them. Then comes the pinch,
and .he boy tba, has the most pluck makes
up TO the relliest gill, his heart IN his
throat, and his tongue clingIng to the root
Of his mouth, and crooking his elbow,
stammers out The words "shall | see yoo

All about Widows.

Mr.. Weller was not absolutely wlIhou;
without reason in bis apprehensIons about
the widows. A widow is one OF those
demure locking, cosy, quiet, fascinating,
and coauelllsh articles of the human kind
whom,il is dangerous to deal with, and
Difficult, to avoid. They are as bewllch-
ING as they are miscbievous. They are
as playful. and apparently as innocent as
kittens, and. like kittens, their veireiy
paws prove the most serious instruments
Of defence, the moment sudden caprice
substitutes their petulance for their afiec'
rion. Now and then widow enacis
very foolish part as did, for instance
the widow of three or four husbands IN
Ludlow, lately. who insisted upon elo'
ping with LAD of eighteen, despite ms
own and his parents wishes. She He'd
with him 10 Palermo, where she persua-
dec him to become the fourth or hlth
victim of her insanste affections. But
widows are not often so indifferent 10
public opinion. They are ususliy the
contrary ; and we like them for the dis.
tcretion which they SO arI5lically combine
with lheir seeming freedom /; the cautious
prudence which they so cleveIly inter-
mingle their feais of apparently dashing
,nonchalance. Positively. we like young

A white Heiress EIopes with Negro.

4 white HeireSs Elopes with Negro.
The Detroit Free Press OF Thursday
tells Of singular elopemen!in that wcm-
ity on Saturday A young girl named
Sarah Judson. whose father lives on hne
properly mile or two from Pontiac,
eIoped on Saturday and came TO Detroit.
The partner Cf her flight was black
man, who has been in tie employ yment OF
her father for some time in tie capacity Of
farm hand. The first intimalion that The
latter had OF the Intention OF The parties
was conveyed by the fact OF their fight.
They Immediately crossed over 10 Wind
sor, upon reaching this city, fully sensible
that they never could accomplish their
Iunna,ural designs on this side, as no Off
cial or clergyman could have been iound
who would have so far transgressed ihe
bounds of decency as TO unite the couple,
the appearance Of the girl being such as
wouhl forbid The union in the mind oil any
sensible man. to say nothing OF the law
in the case. Some individual was iound
in Canada who performed the ceremony,
however, and the two were made one.
/ They are now in Windsor, enjoying tho
sweets of The honeymoon.
The brother Of the girl came on the
+ next day, arriving here on Sunday ano'
asceralning their Whereabouts, went 10
her and implored her To return. She was
rontented, however-Ioved her ebony
0haIi-was happy in his arms, and couldn't
.tElnk of going back. The emotions o. a
brother al such a sight can better be mag
ined than described. Some men would
have bloled out their disgrace with sim
ple blow, but he had been taught that 1t
was no sin against Goo or man that his
young sister should repose in the embrace
of negro, and al the same time calmly
look him in the face and say that she was
contented. He went home, as he did
come, alone.
The girl is about eighteen years DID,
The family are said TO have occupied a
position in society which was fTsi-class,
and the blow is, consequently, a terrible
one. The father is rich, and the girl -
an heiress, which makes it very nice Tor
the African of her choice. The matter
has caused an intense excitement in the
neighborhood where the parties are well
known, the eirl having been born and
brough, up where her parents reside. IL
is dlficull 10 imagine any chain OF CIR
cumstances by which young and lnielIl-
gent girl could be brought TO form con-

Of his bellies ty this time, may be able TO

future which now open 10 her. -
