BS-A young lady teacher of Lowell, Mass,
left that place a few days since, in company
with a sister, on a journey of over a thousand
miles to meet and marry a man she had never
seen. The engagement was brought about by
means of a piece of poetry written by her
while residing in a neighboring city and pub
lished in the local paper of the place. The
article, signed by a fictitious name, was seen
by the gentleman and SO much admired that
he wrote to the address, and the correspond
ence' thus began was kept up for nearly two
years and has resulted as above. Neither
knew the name of the other until the day was
appointed for the marriage ceremony, when,
strangely enough, the surname of each turned
out to be the same.

sa-A good anecdote is told of a man named
Bently, a confirmed drinker, who would never
drink with a friend or in public, and always
ing liquor. One day some bad witnesses con-
cealed themselves in his room and when the
liquor was running down his throat, seized him,
with his arm crooked and mouth open, and
holding him fast, asked with an air of triumph:
"Ah, Bently, nave we caught you at last? You
never drink, ah !" Now one would suppose
that Bently would have acknowledged the
corn not he; with the most grave and mex
p~ressible face, he calmly and in a most digni-
flied manner said: "Gentlemen, my name is
not BentlY

JANE SwIssHELM IN THE PRIZE FIGHT.-
Mrs. Jane Swisshelm, of the st. Cloud, Mimi,
Visitor, thus "does up" the late prize fight:
Keenan, and Sayers had a terrible fight, and
they "pummelcd" each other with all Their
might, in which, we think, they did perfectly
right. Blows were intended for only such,
and neither could get blow too much. Heenan
knocked Sayers off his "pins," and Sayers
cracked Heenan SO hard on the shins, that
they rested and rubbed, as they thought OF
their sins. Sayers made blue stars out Of both
Heenan's "weepers," saying, "There, now, my
boy, wont I shut up your peppers" and then
they fell back in the arms of their keepers
Heenan knocked a "peg"outo of Sayer's arm, say.
ing, 'There, now, my honey, l wish you nc
harm; but you see, by the powers, the works
CROWN warm" Each hammered the others
gourd seed box, with fore-paws as hard as the
hoof of an OK and took a wonderful deal OF
pains to prove that these knobs had never held
brains. They ratified their %"fves," they
"milled' and entitled" and plenty of dirty
=" %claret" they spilled; but the thing was a
failure, for neither was killed.

A MEDAL o THE JAPANEsE-Among the
magnificent presents to the japanese, from the
government as well as from individuals, the
President has directed that there should be
struck off a splendid medal at the United States
Mint, in Philadelphia, in honor of the visit of
the Orientals to this republic. The medal,
which is about twice the size of the old
American silver dollar, bears a beautiful like
ness of Mr.. Buchanan, and on the reverse an
appropriate inscription. Three of these med
ais have have been struck in gold, thirty in
silver, and one hundred in copper.

A whisper woke the air
A soft, light tone, and low,
Yet barbed with shame and woe;
All ! might it only perish there
No further 60.
But, no ] q quick and eager ear;
Caught Up the little-meaning sound.
Another voice has breathed it clear.
And SO il wondered round q
From ear to lip, from lip to ear,
Until IL reached a gentle heart,
That throbbed from all the world apart
And that it broke.
Il was the only heart It found
The only heart twas meant to find,
When first its accents woke;
II reached that gentle heart at last,
And that it broke.
Low as it seemed to others ears
1t came a thunder crash to hers
That fragile girl, so fair and gay;
IT'S said a lovely hnmming-bird,
That, dreaming, in a lily lay,
Was killed by but the guns report;
So ~exquisitely frail its frame,
THE very sound o death blow came;
And thus her heart unused to shame,
Shined in its lily too;
Her light and happy heart, that beat
With love and hope, SO fast and sweet,
When first that cruel word it heard,
It huttered like a frightened bird,
Then hut its wings and sighed,
And with q silent shudder, died.

AN ADRoIT THIEF.-"On evening, as
Marie Antoinette sat quietly at her loge at the
Theater, the wife of a wealthy tradesman of
Paris, sitting nearly vis-a-vis to the Queen,
made great parade of her toilet, and seemed
peculiarly DESTROYS of attracting attention to a
pair of splendid bracelets, cleaning with the
chaste contrast of emeralds and diamonds. She
was not without success. A gentleman of
elegant mien and graceful manner presented
himself at the door of her loge he delivered
a message from the Queen. Her Majesty had
remarked the singular beauty of the bracelets,
and wished to inspect one of them more close
ly. VI hat could be more gratifying? In the
seventh heaven of. delighted vanity, the trades
mans wife unclasped the bracelet and gave it
to the gentleman, who bowed himself out and
left her-as you have doubtless OWNED he
would-abundant leisure to learn of her loss.
"Early the next morning, however, an Off
Ger from the department of police called at
this lady's house. The night before a thief
had been arrested leaving the theater, and on
| others a splendid bracelet. Being penitent,
he had told, to the best of his recollection, to
whom the article belonged, and the lady called
upon YVES indicated as the owner of the brace
let. If Madame possessed the mate to this
singular bracelet, it was only necessary to en-
trust it to the officer, aud if it was found to
com ,are properly, both would be Immediately
sent home, and Madame would have only a
trifing fee to pay. The bracelet was given
willingly, and with the stiff courtesy insepara-
BILE from official dignity, tie officer took his
leave, and at the next cafe joined his fellow,
the gentleman of elegant mien and graceful
manner. The bracelets were not found to
compare properly, and were not returned"
