The CoURTING OF A SHARP MAN OF BUsI-
NEss.-Pitts is fast man, sharp man, a man
of business tact, and when Pitts goes into a
store to trade, ne always gets the lowest cash
price; and he says; "Well, I'll look about, and
if don't find anything that suits me better, I'll
call and take this"
Pitts, like all fast men. is partial to women,
and young ones in particular. Now, quite late
ly Pitts said to himself: 81 am getting rather
long in years, and guess I'll get married"
His business qualities wouldn't let him wait,
SO off he travels and calling upon lady friend,
opened the conversation by remarking that he
would like to know what she thought about his
getting married.
"Oh, Mr.. Pitts, that is an affair in which
am not so very greatly interested, and l perfer
to leave it with yourself"
"But," says Pitts, you are interested, and
my dear girl. will you marry meP"
The young lady blushed very red, hesitated
and finally as Pitts was very well to do in the
world and morally, financially and politically Of
good standing in society, she accepted him.
Whereupon the matter fact Pitts responded
swell, well, I'll look about, and if don't
find anybody that suits me better than you, III
come back"

MISCELLANY.

DOMESTIC CRIME AND GREAT SCANDAL IN
CH1cAGo.-One of those terrible discoveries
which destroy the domestic relations and fall
with blighting curse upon all the parties, has
lust been made in Chicago, in family moving
among the first circles, and the city is deluged
with the flying gossip growing out OF 1t. Inc
family is that of Issac ii. Burch, wealthy
banker; the guilty party is his wife; and her
consort in crime is David Stuart, an ex-member
of Congress from Michigan, now leading mem
Der of the Chicago bar. Mrs Burch is lady
of 80 years, the mother of three children. She
is a slight, sallow woman very PLAIN IN her hao-
its, and apparently absorbed in her Christian
and domestic duties-a member with her hus-
band of fashionable church on the avenue,
and a devoted teacher in a mission Sunday
school. She was brought up as the adopted
daughter of gentleman who from the descrlp-
ton. we presume to be Erastus Corning OF AL
bany; and the unostentatious ideas of her ben
efactor were exemplifed in her after life, tor
though living in the midst of wealth--the gra-
peres of their villa having cost S100,0OO-she
was ever noticeable for the simple neatness OF
her attire. They had been married twelve years,
and no event had occurred to mar the even
course of their domestic bliss until, week or
two since, Mr. Burch had occasion to suspect
the intlmaclcs OF MIR stuart WIN MS VIE d
watch was set and his worst fears realized.
Then all was acknowledged liaison from Dc
tober, 1857, and frequent acts of the same ma
ture with two other parties, an insurance agent
and an artist who leads his profession in the
west These acknowledgements were made in
the presence of notary and separation was
at once agreed upon, Mr. Burch taking the two
eldest children and Mrs Burch the infant. The
unhappy lady has returned to her friends at
Albany, and the equally unhappy husband has
sued for divorce.
What intensi6es the wound to Mr. Burchs
feelings, is the fact that Stuart was his confden-
tial friend and attorney, and the frequent visit
or by his own invitation, at his house. Stuart
has held for several years the attorneyship OF
one of the largest railroad corporations in the
west, obtained through the influence of MIR
Corning first sought in his behalf by Burch.
He is a man somewhat advanced in life, the
father of eight children; but his reputation Tor
morality has never been of the best, and his
victims are now said to be numerous. Besides,
it is remembered that when a congressman in
Washington, he was the subject Of rumors as
being one who sought to ruin the niece of Q
cabinet minister.

At - College, the senior class was under
examination for degrees The professor of Nat
ural Philosophy was badgering the boys on OPP
tics. The point under illustration was that,
strictly and scientifically speaking, we see not
objects, but their images depicted on the retina.
The worthy professor, in order to make the mat
ter palmer, said to the wag of the class, "Mr
Jackson, did you ever actually see your father p"
"No, sir" Bill promptly replied "Please ex-
plain to the committee why you never saw your
own father "Beoause," replied Mr. William
Jackson, very gravely, she died before was

A SINGULAR CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTI-
TY.-The New York Post gives the particulars
of a singular case of mistaken indemnity, OF re-
cent occurrence, in that city, Three weeks
since, Mr.. T. A. Williams, wealthy omnibus
proprietor applied to the Cashier of the Nor
walk (Ct.) Bank for discount Of $4,000 on
note having three months to run. The Cashier,
in reply suggested that if the note was altered
to two months, the money would be forthcom-
ing.
This reply from the Cashier, with the note,
did not reach Mr.. Williams, but after laying
several days in the New York Post Office, was
advertised, and called for by person represen-
ting himself as Mr.. Williams, who, afterwards
appeared, forthwith altered the note to two
months, sent it to Norwalk by Adams Express,
and obtained the money. 1t was not long, how
ever before Mr.. F. A. Williams sent another
letter to the Cashier of the Norwalk Bank a.
bout his three months note.
This exposed the fraud, and the investigation
which followed by Mr.. Holbrook, Post Office
Agent, resulted in the arrest of one Henry Will
liams, milkman, a thick-set, dull-looking man.
He was at once identified by the Post Office
clerk who gives out advertised letters, and also
by the clerk of Adams & Co., who had the con-
versaton in regard to the negotiation of the
notes; and further, two experts in handwriting
uecldreu MS WTlllnS anu tidI vi INC aitSialioH
of the notes sent to the Norwalk Bank to be in
the same hand. Thereupon the accused was
held to bail in the sum of $4,000 for robbing
the New York Post Office, and in the further
sum of $4,000 for forgery. He stoutly protes
ted his innocence, but the proofs were so strong
that his friends began to waver
At this crisis second Williams was arrested
by police officer. This Williams has sudden
ly risen from poverty to aihuence, drove his
fast team upon the Bloomindale road, and in his
drunken moments proved quite communicative
speaking of his $4,000 in bank, and drinking
mysteriously tothe brightness of bank cashiers
The facts since developed indicate that this sec
ond Williams is the real rogue, while the frs
was the victim of mistaken identity, for thes
post-office and express clerks not only identif.
the second prisoner as the man who took tn
letter and presented the note but his hand wri
ting is stated to be the same as that upon tn
note. This shows that testimony in regard t.
identify should be taken with great care AM
caution.

You look to the future, on above,
only look to the past;
You are dreaming your first dream of love,
And have dreamed my last
You watch for feet that are yet to tread,
With yours, on a shining track;
| hear but the echoes dull and dread,
Of the feet that come not back.
You are passing up on the fowery slope,
left so long ago;
Your rainbows shine through the drops of hope,
And mine through the drops OF woe
Night clides in its visions sweet away,
And at morn you live them DER;
From my dreams by night and my dreams by day
have walked to dream no more
You are reaching forth, with spirit glad,
To the hopes that are still untried,
am burying the hopes had,
That have slipped from my arms and died.
And pray that the blessedest things there be
On your future may descend:
But, alas, for mine It were well for me,
If made peaceful end!
