How TO GET RID OF DIsAGREEABIE
LovER-There is a certain young widow
resides in Marysville, and who, like all her
class, is pestered with suitour. One wash
ing day one of them came along She was
up to the elbows in suds, and opened the
door with a determination 10 say some

get into the kitchen; it is so pleasant and
homelike. If he was delighted, so was
not the window. She gave him chair,
and chatted away quite merrily-however,
at the same time seemingly very much
engaged with the work done before her
Presently she took up large sized wash
basin, and filed it full of hot suds from
the boiler on the stove, and stepping to a
table, took mp bouquet that was lying
thereon, and, in the most innocent man
ner conceivable, asked the gentleman if
he could tell the botanical name of one of
the flowers contained therein Of course,
he rose from the chair and steppe forward
to examine it. The malicious woman
adroitly set down the basin on the vacated
seat Then she riveted his gaze With one
OF her sweetest smiles, and presented to
him the bouquet, and begged he would
keep it for her sake-and bade him re-
sumo his seat He obsyed! That widow
has not had q caller in her kintchen

The Weapons Of this War.

The editor of Wilkes (N. Y Spirit If the
Times is a soldier, and now in Washin gton.
In a letter to his paper, he thus remarks
on the weapons with which the battles
are likely to be won
{ Some importance has been attributed to
the Tact that the Southern men, as gen
eral thing, are better marksmen than the
soldiers of the North, and that they will
consequently possess a great advantage,
through such superiority, in the hour OF
battle. But while do not believe this to
be the case to any great extent, l would
not, even if it were 90, give much consider
alton to the fact; for in battle but few
special shots are made, and the coming
struggle is not testined to be . contest
Of mere craftsmanship or evolution
War began with the spear for i.sw eapon;
after a variety of changes, through several
centuries, it yielde its ref. ements and
under Napoleon ILL.,, on the fl, Ids of Ma
genta and Soifsrino, came back TO the
spear again. On those bloody add bitterly
| contested fields, the alert Zouaves and the
athletic Chasseurs d d'Afrique refused to ac-
cept the rations of powder and ball when
served out TO the troops just previous to
battle; nay when the charge was given,
even refused to discharge the loads which
were already in their weapons. but, rush
ing forward through the fire, they engaged
the Austrians hand to hand, and bayonet-
I'd them in the ranks. This unquestion-
ably the true resource Of superior physical
condition.
On this plan the coming war between
the North and Soueh will surely be CON
tested; and in part evidence thereof, |
merely point to the fact that the govern
ment has already taken away the costly
breech-loading toys which the munificence
, of New York put in the hands Of Colonel
/ Ellswor;hs regiment, ard served out to
them the spear, in the shape Of a saber on
the end Of Mimic muskst, and may
Heaven help those under the edge of
whose bsyonets these pet lambs shall
succeed in getting
The sabre bayonet is also to be distrib
uted throughout the entire army, and
feel certain, from what have gathered
through military men, that the actual en-
brace of battle, man to man, is what the
Northern captains OF this war intend 10
rely upon.
