A paragraph, originating in n Phila-
dclphia paper, stating that persons who
scnd newspapers and pamphlets to Flu
rotp should be careful not to enclose
them in wrappers, AZ it subjects them to
letter postage, has been widely copied
by the press. II is very well known,
however, to newspaper publishers who
are in tbs habit Of sending papers to
Europe that the above statement is not
correct. All that is required by the for
cign regulations is that the wrapper
shall not cover so much Of the ncwspa-
paper as il customary with people here.
The wrapper should be small about
onc-third Of the length Of the folded
papcr--thus leaving the ends Of the
paper free from any covering, so that il
can easily be examined by the lostoilicc
officials

him. Every part Of the steamer was again
searched in vain for him. Ard it seemed
certain that he could not have gone ashore.
The next day I was talking with the Rev.
Mn. Goggles, not about the gambler, but on
topics. Of course, his life, as an itinerant,
was full of interest to me. he told me how
cheaply he lived and travelled from place to
place; that he was often hungry, and never
had over ten dollars at once.
Il have only five, now he said; aud to
verify his statement, he took from his pocket
a half eagle. .~laE - .-.'
glanced at it. There was q hole in it,
with ring attached! 1t was certainly she
property of the young man from Cincinnati.
what is this ring fort -faskgd: =
This piece was given me bya woman in
Arkansas, who vas converted under my
preaching
The liar, had already made up my mind
that be was an impostor, in short, that he
was the mysterious gambler. Before dinner
time, had an opportunity TO whisper my
views to the captain, and while we were at
dinner, his state-room was searched. A large
sum of money was found there, and many
of the gamblers tools, as we'll as the dress
the unknown had worn.
.sParson can you swim ? asked the paptain
as the Reverend Mr.. Goggles came up On
I the boiler deck. ...'
"a little,' he replied, with demure saile.
you will have chance to try; am 60
ing to throw you overheard
The captain took him by the collar, and
explained the matter to the astonished pas
sengers, who were quite ready to assist in
emptying his pockets, and then throwing
him overheard. The money taken from him
was paid over to his victims.
The last we saw of him, he was swimming
vigorously towards the shore, cdrsing ths
captain wita quite az much zeal as he had
used in praying and exhorting.
The young man from Cincinnati got his
cherished coin, and I trust learned useful
lesson.

CHAPTER I.
sHav exclaimed Ebenezer Underdonk, as
he perused the list of letters in the 'lfoxln9
Nees'-'a letter for my niece! by jiDgo!
"A letter for me, uncle?' asked Ida Wal.
ter, who that moment entered the room.
Il thought you were in the garden, Ida,
said the surprised guardian, moving about
uneasily in his chair. did you expect
letterT
Yes, uncle; I have been looking for, one
ever since the first of the month - have
you received it!'
Il have not received it. Who do you sup
nose has written to you, Ida ? asked the old
man, tapping the toe of his boot with his
cane.
BLESS your heartv exclaimed Ida, as q
blush suffused her beautiful face, show dc
you expect me to knowT
Ida,' said the old man, "a female Of your
age and position in life should be very par
ticular with whom she corresponds
Il cannot help people writing to me, un
cle,' replied Ida, carelessly turning over thf
leaves of her uncle's ledger.
'You can at least, signify your disinclina
tiop to continue correspondence, by return
ing the letter my child
sBut, uncle, I must first read before car
determine how to act in the premises-mus
I not?'
No, my child; allow me to send for you
letter and read it myself After l have done
so, you can then act as you choose, provided
the letter be from lady
But uncle said Ida, slightly impatient
ly, suppose my correspondent is not a lad.
what then!
'Not lady what do you mean? Th'
very fact, that she has written to you, is, t.
me at least, sufficient proof that she mus
move in refined circle
Il do not mean that said Ida, blushing
Then what do you mean?' asked he
uncle.
Il mean, th-th-th-a-t my co-corres-pon
dent may possibly be bea-g-e-n-t,l-e-m-a-p,
replied Ida.

his personal ATTRACTIONS. A. nice state Of
things, Imust confess I suppose Mr.. Marl.
ton thinks that all he hos to do, is to call
upon me, whenever it suits his convenience,
and claim me as his bride. /, of course,
will be very much honored by his prefer
ence; l, forsooth, will be but too happy to
wait until be can afford the time to notice me
'On the other hand, Mr.. Eyinston, during
my short acquaintance with him at the
Springs, made use Of every opportunity to
pay. the most polite attentions to me. He
would take me out riding with him every
afternoon Using for and with me, every even
ing; gather the chesnut flowers for me, and,
/ in short, done everything to make me pass
the time agreeably. =.
'Now he has written me letter, wherein
he expresses his love in all eandor and hon"
esty. That his character is one of the very
best, have no doubt; for uncle would not
have spoken so highly of him, or introduced
him to my acquaintance unless his position
in life warranted such course.
sMr. Eviuston's letter must be returned,
for the simple reason, that my hand has been
offered to, and accepted by, man whom I
have never seen Now, do protest against
such a course of action II won't marry
Mr.. Marlton indeed I will not! .
SO, lovely Ida Walter tossed her pretty
head, and pouted her rosy lips for awhile,
and then burst into tears, and eased her heart
by real good cry.
And down stairs sits old Ebenezer Un.
derdonk, laying the Hattering JUNCTION to
his soul, that he has put an end to 'this
foolish love affair." as be calls it. Poor,
easy old man.

ANONYMOUS JOURNALISM.

Newspaper-writers 10 France are required
to afix their signatures to their published ar
ticles. It is the opinion Of many that this
regulation, WHICH in France is compulsory
measure of imperial policy, might we'll be
extended, not by law, bat by voluntary Gus
tom, to the writings of journalists every
where.
There are very few things, If anything, in
which it would not be equally honorable and
profitable for men to take the responsibility
Of all statements made and opinions express
ed by them. The plea in defence Of all
concealment is expediency, and surely, e1-
pediency is but poor substitute for honest
candor. There are no mysteries with hon
est men, says Sheridan; and We doubt
whether right can ever be so much in sub
lection to wrong as to be under the necessity
of fighting it with its own weapon Of dscep-:
ton.
A signed article appears boldly with all
the authority, and no more than the author
ity, conferred upon it by the name appended
to It. If it be true and meritarious, its .a1-
thor receives just praise; and if it be false
or slanderous, or in any way contemplate,
its author, and no other, receives his just re-
ward of contempt; or, if need be, Of legal
punishment. An anonymous article is like
an anonymous letter. stab in the dark, in
stead of an open challenge, if in disparage-
ment of its subject; and, If in praise, iuef-
fectual and unserviceable, ashaving nocred-
it nor responsibility.
Very often newspaper and magazine ar
ticles receive degree of attention which
they may not deserve, because supposed to
be written by some favorite writer and, on
the other hand, articles of great merit fail to
attract attention, simply because attributed
to authors of inferior ability: All such mis-
judgment would be at once avoided by the
adoption of a custom of placing the respou-
sibility of good or bad writing where it be.
longs, by publishing in all cases the name of
the writer.
Literary history presents numerous illus
trations of the injury of literary conceal
ment, not only to poor authors, but to litera-
ryitself. Many an obscure writer has wasted
on the desert air, the sweetness Of the flow
ers of his mind, when, if known as the au-
thor even of a single verse orline of promise,
he might have planted the paradise of un-
dying thought an ever-blooming tree for the
intellectual delight of all succeeding ages.
The merit of Virgips first poetical effort,
anonymously published, was, for time, ap.
propriated by another. "Thus, ye bees"
said the poet, in his retort on the bold pla-
giarist, ado ye gather honey, but not for
yourselves" Who can tell how much in
Justice has been done, and how much has
been lost to the world of mind in the misap-
preparation of the great thoughts and words
of others p Washington Globe.

The beauty Of the early morn,
The breath of flower divinely sweet,
Lulls me into dream Of heavn,
And wakes me ever at thy feet.
Why is it, that in the hush -
The warm, harsh hush of sultry-noon--
Or when the grateful world looks up
To welcome the returning moon
Why, looking 'pon thousand stars
That twinkle in an evening sky,
Should thy blue eyes eclipse their light
And darken heaven tell me, why!
Why, when dark night. with frewnlng oroW'
Folds her black mantle over all,
And over all the scenes Of life
Lets her mysterious curtain fall
Why. then should whisperings Of love
Fall sweetly soft upon my ear?
Why should thy name shine thro' the dark,
And ruby lips to mine come near!
Why, reaching out into the dark,
Nv hands should touch no form but thinei
Or, peeping through the bars of sleep,
see q creature so divine =
Why, 'gainst my cheek the silky touch
Of thy soft curls ever feel,
And round my neck thy round white arms
So tenderly and softly steal?
Why, spite the darkness of the night,
See the rose-tint on the cheek!
Why, spite the bowling of the storm,
catch the words that thou dost speak
Why, though so far away from me,
And in silent slumbers sound,
Why should our spirits, in the night,
Rush into one with eager bound?
Why, spite my struggles to forget
The gilded hours of other days,
Should the fair past in panoramic view
Pass ever aud anon before, my gaze?
Why should the memory of voice,
A form, a look, or cen loving kiss,
Hume with heavens light the past,
And make all midnight in an hour like this
