The MahOning Register says that the
village Of Lowell, in that county, has been
so depleted of young men by the late en-
listments, that the married men have to
take turns in "setting up with the girls.
We are willing to guarantee that Du-
mars, Of the Register, does his share Of
the work like man. No shirking about
him.

PERJuRy.-As tho Confederate govern
ment could have had no origin without whole'
sale perjury, it is very likely the leaders are
beginning to feel that this is the sin which. Of
all others, needs looking after. At any rate
one would suppose 80 from the reiterated em,-
phasis with which Mr.. Bocock, Speaker Of
the rebel House of Representives, dwells upon
the crime in the following passage Of his ac'
dress:
"Our new system is designed to avoid the
errors Of the old. Certainly it is founded in
different system of political philosophy. and
is sustained by peculiar and more conserva.
tive state of society. 1t has the elements OF
strength and long life. But at the thresl''
old lies the question ! have already
stated-Can it legitimately afford the
means to carry the war to successful con-
clusion? If not, it must perish. But II
must b. destroyed not by the hand ofviolsncs
or By the taixt Of perjury. 1t must 60 out
peacefully. and in pursuance Of its own pro-
visions. Better submit to momentary incon-
venence than to injxre represestafi1e homo,
or rio1ate public filth. In tho whole book Of

MINNIE MINpEN.-We have another letter
quite a long and elaborate one, from our fierce
little rebel correspondent Minnie Minden."
She declines our suggestion as to the personal
interview, and we withdraw it. She is kind
enough to say that she would not have us as
s,ssinated, aud adds:
"No, would have the vampires rioting in
your own bosom to feed npon the bitter
fountains there in mockery of the miseries OF
your lift-l would doom you an outcast, wan-
de,ing Salathiel. with mountains to fall upon.
but not crush; seas to submerge, but no,
drown; fire TO torture, but lot consume.
Like the Fairy Of Ariosto, nt times. would
assume the serpcnt's shape, and, coiling about
as if to begniley you with the sorceries, would
hiss YOU with the mockeries of self, till life
should bc to you torment and curse"
WHY, Minnie Minnie! what terrible
little woman you must be! We wonder
whether you ever expect to get married. We
should think that any prudent young fellow,
even though rebel. would as soon marry the
DEVILS daughter and keep house with his
fatlier.imlaw. You say you would like to as.
sumo a serpent's shape and coil around us and
hiss us. All. well, We don't know but We
would rather have you coil around and hiss us
in that shap. than coil around us and kiss US
in your present one.
but you are certainly n smart girl. Minnie
and we have some hopes for you. May b.,
as the weeks and months move en-. you will
grow wiser. and give up your treason. and
adopt the teachings Of the LOUisr'Ae Journal
and bless the dear old flag. and marry pat.
riot, aud invite us TO the wedding. and name
your first baby after us.

gave it to her! Well. don't care if he did.
Why. it's only two months since her father
failed, and now to sre her dash out in this
style, it's a burning shame. | suppose she
thinks she's going to catch young lawyer
Stanhope. but guess she will find herself
mistaken. He's got more sense than TO be
caught by her. if she has got brocadc silk

Kate Manly, setting her cap for the doctors
son. The imprr,inencc of some people is per-
fcc,ly astonishing. don't think she's any
any better than She ough, to BE-, for my own

soft look, when any ones around. My word
for it, she can look cross enough when there

how old, but she's more'n seventeen, and

DIR. Mays son will have more discretion than
to think of marrying her. Some folks call
her handsome Well, l don't. She amt
half so good looking as my daughter Jane.
Then the way she does up her hair, in such
hy-away curls and if you believe it, Mrs.
Smith. she actdally had the impudence to tell
me that she could not make her hair as
straight as my Maria James. lmpertinence |!
If she'd let curling papers and curling irons
alone Id risk but what her hair would be as
straight as anybody's. But what do you
think of the minister's wife, Mrs. Smith You
like her! Well, all can say is you've got n
very peculiar taste Why. she's as proud as
Luritcr, been married whole week, and has
not been to SEQ rue yet. You presume she
hasn't had time! don't see why the minis

wife for, any way and then above all things
to get that little girlish looking thing. Why
in the world didn't he take his own parishon-
