COURTING IN COLD WEATHER.-Everybod
hereabout knows that it was biting cold last
Wednesday night, and keeping warm was no
joke of a job. Everybody, also, knows that of
the . two evenings a week" allowed by New
England custom for lovers meetings, that of
Wednesday is one. Well, it happened on We'd
ncSday nig ght last that n young man of our ac-
4ualntance called to see bis dear Susan The
old folks retired at an early hour, and left the
young folks In possession Of the paror, large
room, decorated but not comfortable; but still
possessing I" all the modern improvements -
Among these were two dingy registers in the
places where the cheerful CRATES ought to be.
AZ the hlght wore on the fire wore out; and
pretty soon the lovers became conscious of the
cold. The maiden's little fingers were posi-
lively chilled, and Frederick $ toes were numb.
There was no use in trying to disguise matters
any longer, Miss Susan must drop her Mara
posa, and Master Freddy must do mans part
in this emergency. He rolled the paternal
armchair in front of one Of the iron faces in
the chimney, in the hopes that its warm breath
might restore the vivacity to his charmer
This done he covered her little shoulders with
shawls. He then proceeded 10 take care OF
himself; and, after huddlng himself in such
things as were lying round loose in the parlor,
placed himself in front of the register in the
other chimney. As the young couple were
some distance apart, conversation between
them was incODyenient, indeed. impossible;
and the result waS they fell into sound sleep,
and thus they slept and dreamed, and dreamed
and slept until daylight, when they were dis
covered and aroused by Biddy Murphy, the
nursery maid, who, upon seeing them. ex-
claimed. = You're the purity pair; but YOU d
betther be draining ashleep than awake" 1t
is needless to say that Biddy received bribes;
but Miss Susan could not keep her secret

FREDERICK DOUGLASS On JOHN BRowN.-In
letter to his paper, from Halifax, England
Frederick Douglass says
Let dear old Captain Brown (who now Is be-
yond the wrath and fury of the alarmed tyrants
who have done their worst upon him) have all
the glory of the origin, progress, and result of
that enterprise. He needed no prompting-no
urging He was himself the prompter and to
him the whole enterprise owed its existence
While | deeply sympathize with the great pur-
pose of his heart, and the main feature of his
plan, have the satisfaction of knowing that I
opposed the very measure which brought the
enterprise to premature and disastrous con-
ciusiOn-i E., the taking of Harper's Ferry.
Of course, after the failure at that point, and
the little band was killed, scattered, and i'm
prisoned, none but a fool or a knave would say
it was any mans duty to offer himself up as
sacrifice to saveholding vengeance But am
done with defending my course. Until it can
Re shown that I have in any wise deceived
disappointed falsifed, single promise to
any one of those with whom it is sought to
identify me, the man that brands me with any
form or shadow of such a charge will be guilty
of downright untruthfulness.

Twelve members speaking at one time is a
common occurrence, and the general effect on
an outside listener is very much like the gar
rulous twitter Of flock of black birds At the
last meeting the dominant theme was dolls.
Some defended rag babies on the plea of cheap
ness and indestructibility; while others took
an aesthetic view of the great subject, and
maintained that babies should be educated into
a love of the beautiful through the agency of
artistically shaped, rosy y-cheeked dolls Plas-
ter of Paris and papier mache were declared
to be inferior to India rubber for this purpose
since the latter would afford pleasant mate
rial for the dear little creatures to try their
darling teeth on. 1t is needless to say that
the rag baby advocates were crushed and bu.
inflated in the discussion, and that the Presi.
dentess, who is clothed with the awful power
OF deciding all controversies, settled the cues
tion for all time in favor of painted India rub

NEW AND YET DANGEROUS WAY OF COL
LECf1NG OLD DEBTS.-There has been i'm exist
ence for some time in New York an agency for
colectlng debts, whose manner of business is
something In this way The establishment
keeps a large covered wagon on which is paint
ed in conspicuous letters the name and nIace
OF business of the agent, and the words, hBad
debts collected, " cold claims hunted nm. :, &c
Inc wagon In question, with these great big
letters on it, is driven up daily, and in some
cases hourly, before the door of every unfortu
nate debtor against whom the collector has a
claim. vi course the effect of this is about
Equivalent to telling the neighbors that the
So-and-So's are obliged to be dunned by their
landlord, grocer, or tailor. Many are doubt
less worried into settling up" by this inge-
nious, unwarrantable and unjust exposure.
The institution in New York we believe ha.
been abandoned, the courts there in one in.
stance, declaring it an illegal nuisance. and
individual anger visiting the unlucky driver
OF the vehicle with summary and not alto
gether unmerited chasti5ement At all events
the agency has been TRANSFORMED or a branch
been extended to this city, and is in full oper-
alton here
During the week past the ANNOYING wagon
IN question was driven before house in Hicks
street, where gentleman and his wife board
ed. against whom it is alleged furniture deal
er OF our city had claim for $50. The GEN.
tleman In question, we believe, was unfortu-
nate in business and failed The furniture
dealer thinking the debt not one of the best
sold it to the collector for two dollars. The
lady told the driver Of the vehicle on his first
visit not to again come round there annoyiny
the house, but to present the bill to her hus
band at his place Of business in New York. Not
to take - no. for an answer is one of the prin-
clples of the business, and in a very short time
the wagon was round again. The lady this
time was prepared to have settlement with
the driver, and as soon as he poked his nose
inside the door she made at him with horse
whip, and very vigorously applied it, until the
collector made himself scarce in the neighbor-
hood, and he has forgotten to call that way
since.-BrookIyn EAGLE.
