aAbout ten years ago, merchant Of this
city had in his employment young man
who robbed him Of several thousand dollars.
1t being impossible TO recover the money,
he was allowed to 60 uppunished upon his
promise TO return the amount stolen IL ever
he were able TO do so. He was not heard
Of until the other day, when stranger on
tered the countibg-house Of his former en-
ployer. You do not remember me, he
said. No. was the reply. Did you not

Amusements before Yorktown.
A correspondent Of the New York Tri-

A correspondent Of the New York Tri-
bune, writing from near Yorktown, says:
During the first days skirp1ish on our
right, two soldiers, one from Maize, the 9TH
er from Georgia, posted themselves each be-
hind tree, and indulged in sundry shots,
without effect on either side, at the same
time keeping up lively chat. Finally,
that getting little tedious, Georgia calls
out to Maine, to "Give me SHOW" mean
ing, step out and give an opportunity to bit.
Maine 10 response pokes out his head few
inches, and Georgia cracks away and misses.
"Too high" says Maine, snow give me a
show Georgia pokes out his head, and
Maine blazes away. HToo low" sings Geor-
gia. In this way the two alternated seve-
raj times. without hitting. Finally, Maine
sends ball SO as TO Craze the tree within
an inch or two Of the ear Of Georgia.
"Cease firing" shouts Georgia. 'Cease il
is" responds MaiAe. eLook here" says
one, awe have carried on this business long
enough for one day. 'SpOse we adjourn fol
rations9" "Agreed," says the other. And
so they marched away in different directions
one whistling "Yankee Doodle" the Other

to be increasing as we advance towards

The following extract is from Artemus
Wards lecture on "The Children in the
Woods"
Advertising for wife is about as absurd
as getting measured for an umbrella. 1t
is absurd-it is mean---and l suspect that
the most of those fellows who adopt that
method of securing domestic bliss ought to
hammer stone in some well-regulated PEN
litentiary. Once 10 while, however, there
may be simple-minded but unfortunate
young man among these advertisers, and to
him the lecturer would say, why advertise ?
There is probably some young lady of your
acquaintance, for whom you have certain
regard. Why not go to her boldly and tell
her there is commodious apartment to
let in your heart, with board. If you get
the mitten do not despair, but charge else
where for another mitten. You may as
well have pair Of mittens. One mitten is
of no possible use. know of a young man
out West who has got mittens enough to
go peddliug, aud he is yet healthy. "Don'I
be bashful young man. Don't be like the
young parson who rode ten miles in sleigh
with PRETTY girl one bright moonlight
night, with the intention Of popping the
question, but all he said was: at is quite
mooney tonight" "Yes," she replied,
"muchly." And there wasn't another word
said

tho rebellion is about TO be abandoned by
common consent by the people Of the com

tAtivas ofNew Orleans have made their ap-
pearanee in The New York dry goods mar
