Love i'm a Car

We have heard of love in a cottage love

ties, but never until last Saturday night
did we witness love in city passenger

one OF the Madison avenue cars. mo, 40 !
Al the corner Of Franklin and Eutow SITS

car and occupied seat in the corner
Being great admirer Of females we stole
glance at the young lady, and were re-
compensed by beholding a very lovely
young Miss, with black hair and ewes

panion was one of those specimens known

The first thing that he did after seating
himself was to eucircle the neck of his
companion within his left arm, while his
right hand lovingly grasped her soft and
delicate left. Not being used to such
scenes, 1--WE being bachelor we kept our

Then tur ming to the occupants of the car
he exclaimed: Strangers, me and thi

Description of a Chinese Bat
fln

A Chinese battle is as good as farce
Some Of the little fights at Shanghai were
very amusing. One day, when a great
many soldiers were out, saw more of the
combat than was pleasant. Having got
into the line of fire | was forced to take
shelter behind a grave. the bullets striking
the grave from each side every second
Why they came my way it was difficult to
discover, for they ought to have passed on
the other side of the creek, about twenty
yards distant, to the people they were in
tended for; but to see the lodging of the
soldiers, them Of the rebels, each trying to
ovade the other, was amusing. One fellow
ready primed and loaded, would rush up
the grave hillock, drop his matchbox over
the top, and without taking aim blaze
away. There is no ramrOd required by the
shot they use the bullet or bar of iron is
merely dropped in loosed upon the powder
There was fee scene on an occasion whom
the Shanghai rebels nade sortie: one of
the men was cut off by an Imperial skirm>
isher, who had his piece loaded. The rebel
had no time TO charge on him, as he run
around grave, which was high enough to
keep his enemy from shooting him when
on the opposite side. Hare shooting is
nothing to it. Redcap describes hosts cf
circles, and the Royalist was fast getting
blown, when the gods took pity on his wind,
for by some unlucky chance the rebel
tripped and fell. The soldier was at him
in a moment, and, to make sure of his
prize, he put the muzzle of the matchbox
to Redcap's head and fired, and took to his
heels as fast as he could 60. 1t is difficult
to say who was the most astoDished when
Mr.. Redcap did precisely the same The
bullet that dropped down readily on the
powder, fell out as easily when the barrel
was depressed. The rebel got off with a
good singing of his long hair.
There were, however, some very ugly
wounds, and where surgery is at such a
discount, the poor wounded must suffer Sc
verely. The Chinese rarely if ever ampu>

Black Days.

Have you ever known days that were
black? Have you ever known days in
which everything went wrong, as though
some invisible hand turned your whole life
topsy turvy? Did every sharp instrument
you handled pierce or cut you of its own
accord? Did some undiscoverabIe individ
ual throw your neatly arranged work into
confusion, and abstract the book in which
you were deeply interested? Did the cur
rent of your thoughts, which usually flowed
with pleasant freedom, suddenly become
stagnant? Did the persons you least wished
TO see force themselves into your presence.
and those you loved best remain absent?
Did you labor with more than wopted
zeal, yet accomplish nothing? Such un-
balanced days, when life seems game Of
cross purposes, will come to most of us ;
and how is their unholy spell to be broken
Very often the presence Of being gifted
with strong, pure heart, genial temper
ment, and sympathetic nature, will chase
all the shadows, restore serenity to the ruff.

sion, even as the voice, the lock of one sin

How a soldiers wife mGtp I'm. >,

The Boston Courier details this incident
as having happened there-as patriotic as
it is amusing:
On Tuesday morning, the anxious wife
OF Marblehead volunteer who had re-
ceived marching orders, refused to get his
things together for him, supposing by that
means to prevent his going with his cum-
pany; but her husband was not made of
any such soft material, and started off with

but thought he would stop short of the
railroad depot, and return to her fond bo-
sor. In this she was mistaken. Hubby
joined his companions in arms, unproyided

minutes the train had put miles between
him self and the wife he had left behind =
lie did not feel altogether right about her
conduct, but his condition was that of ner-
tect bliss compared to the state of her mind

OF the little goodies" which fond wives
usually put up for their husbands when
they start on a journey. 1t soon occurred
to her that she might reach Boston before
the regiment started fer Washin gton iu the
afternoon, and she went right to work TO
fill the largest valise she could find with
whatever she could lay her hards on, which
might contribute to his inward or outward
comfort. Thus heavily laden, she made
her way through the drenchiug rain to the
depot. On arriving in Boston she was in
formed that the regiment was to form on
the common, and hither she proceeded; but
no soldiers were there, and despair almost
overcame her. With heart heavier than
even the valise she carried, she wended her
way to stable kept by an acquaintance.

step she was fortunate, and ascertained that

Marriage In LapIand

1t is death in Lapland to marry a maid
without the consent of her parents and
friends. When a young man has formed
an attachment for female, it is the fash
ion for her friends to meet to behold the
young parties run race together. The
maid is allowed, in starting, the advantage
of one third of the distance so that it is
impossible, except willing herself, that she
should be oveTtaken. If the maid outrup
the sultor. the matter is ended he must
never have her. it being criminal for the
young man to regard the notion of mar
riage. But if the virgin have an affection
for him, though at first she run quite fas,
to try his love, she will, without Allan ia Is
golden balls to retard her speed, pretend
casually and voluntary halt before SIZE
comes to the mark at the end of the race
Thus none are to marry against their will;
and that is the reason that in this poor
country the married people are richer in
their contentment than in ether lands
where so many feign love and cause unhap
plness.

BAD For THE Cow.-When George Ste

Parliament and asked for the attention

Well, now, Mr. Stephenson, let us show

A General Settler.

"By the Mexican laws, if a man kills
another in duel, he becomes answerable
for all his ebts."-AOrning Paper.
If this law did but prevail in the United
States, the custom of duelling might at least
be turned to account; for a man whose life
might be embittered by debt, need not give
himself the trouble of committing suicide
but by selecting rich man for the task OF
shooting him, he performs. in his last mo-
ments, an act of justice TO his creditors

reason the water in pdmp stock should

Worldly Ambition,

The tide of time sweeps continually on
ward. 1t pauses not for mighty men or
mighty events. The days of Alexander,
the conquer Of the world-the times Of
Grecian glory, and all the great events to
which we might allude, have been swept
away with the same irresistible rapi6Ity !;
and the mighty waves are still rolling on
ward toward the ocean of eternity. 1t is
worth but little to be known in the worlds
history. Those who have reached the high
est pinnacle in the worlds temple of great
ness, have soon been superseded Ly those
whose progression or difference of opinion
or action, have thrown them into the shade
leaving either the wise or the vulgar por-
tlon OF the m0derns TO wonder at their stu
pidity. We would throw our Influence
against worldly ambition. Immortal deeds
are not popular with the masses of man
kind they originate, and are developed in
humanity. What, to the great portion of
tine world was the crucifixion IF Christ p
| What small portion of the generation
lnbabitiEg the world at that period bel;ev
ed in his mission, even confirmed as it was
by the most astonishing miracles. How
few were his faithful followers. And vet
that event, Insignificant as it seemed to the
world at that time, will be one Of the most
important that ever occurred, long after the
heroes and events upon which applause OF
OF the world has been lavished, and forgot
| ten. There will be time when the poor
man who has given n crust to his fellow
| pilgrim, will be greater hero than Napo
lean BoEaparte-when the unknown mire
will outweigh the gold that bought an EN-.
/ pire.
Let US not set too great an estimate upon
the position we are to occupy in the eve OF
the world. Human opinions are worth but
little, no matter how strongly backed by
| wealth, or an innate sense of superior wis
| dom. There has been a continual SQUAD
ble," since the days Of Adam, about the
events that have passed before the world.
and there never was time when the opin
! ions of men were infallibe.
