RECEIVING "ATrENTIoNs."- Some Of our
young lady readers may have reason to thank
US for giving them access to the following
well-expressed practical advice. Young men,
too, may proftably take the hint from it.
We find the article afoat without credit, but
are happy to be able to trace it to the COL
umns Of our lively contemporary, the New
Yorker: a eaaEs
"A young man admires pretty girl, and
must manifest it. He can't help doing SO,
for the life of him. The young lady has a
tender heart, reaching out like vine-tendrils
for something to cling to. She sees the ad-
miration; is hattered begins soon to love;
expects some tender avowal; and perhaps
gets so far as to decide that she will choose
a white satin under the gauze,' ETC., at the
very moment the gallant that she loves is
popping the question to another damsel ten
miles off. Now the difficulty lies in not un-
Outstanding the difference between polite at
tentions' and the tender manifestations Of
love-
"Admiring beautiful girl. and wishing to
make wife of her, are not always the same
thing; therefore it is necessary that the dam
sci should be on the alert to discover to which
class the attentions paid her by handsome
and fashionable young gentlemen belong.
First, then, if young man greets you in
loud, free, and hearty tone; If he knows pre-
cisely where to put his hand or his hat, if he
stares youright in the eye, with his own wide
open; if he turns his back to you to speak to
another; if he tells you who made his coat; if
he squeezes your hand if he eats heartily in
your presence if, in short, he sneezes when
your are singing, criticises your curls, or
fails to be foolish in fifty ways every hour,
then don't fall in love with him for the
world He only admires you, let him do or
say what he will.
ION the other hand, if he be merry with
every one else, but quiet with you if he be
anxious to see that your tea is sufficiently
sweetened and your dear person we'll wrap
ped up when you go out into the cold; if he
talks very low, and never looks you steadily
in the eye; if his cheeks are red, and his
nose only bushes, it is enough. If he romps
with your sister, signs like pair Of old bel
lows, looks solemn when you are addressed by
another gentleman, and, in fact, is the most
still, awkward. stupid, yet anxious OF all
your male friends, you may go ahead, and
make the poor fellow too happy for his skin
to hold him!
"Young ladies keep your hearts in q ease
of good leather, or some other substance, un-
til the right one is found beyond doubt,
after which you can 60 on, and love, and
court, and be married and happy, without the
least bit of troublep

A New MAP OF MUscATINE CoUNrY.-At
last we are to have complete map Of Mus
catine county-something we have long need
ed-provided sufficient encouragement is
given to the enterprise.
Mr.. Thompson and Mr.. Westbrook have
commenced canvassing the county for sub
scribers to the map, and if they meet with
the success they wish, the map will at once
be published. Mr.. M. H. Thompson, who is
practical engineer and surveyor, comes to
us well recommended from men Of the best
counties in Illinois, where he has published
maps and given entire satisfaction. Every
farm, with the owners name marked plainly
upon it, will be shown on the map. All
roads, rail and wagon, farm-houses, mills.
school-houses, churches, blacksmith shops,
timber and prairie lands, will be distinctly
shown, as well a. all living streams. Every
farmer will of course encourage this work,
and we hope that every business man will
lend his aid also.
it's vast amount of labor to survey and
get up a map. of this kind, as we'll as expen-
sive. Muscatine is rich county, and can
well afford to have first class map, and no
one feels his trifle of support in these pros
porous times The border of the map will
be highly ornamented by views of some Of
the finest public and private buildings in the
county. We wish MIR. T. success in his en-
terpriss.

HAUNTED HoUsEs.-The Peoria Qll.) Mail
notes the fact thBt one or more houses in that
city are haunted by unseen spirits. In one
case, especially, an investigating committee
of gentlemen watched at the house last Sun
day night, and about midnight the bed and
lounge were lifted and again set down with
far more momentum than the actual gravita-
ton of either article of furniture would pro-
duce. Laughter was also heard in the four
corners of the room-the voices being those
of male and female commingled. Much ex-
element exists in consequence of these dem
onstrations.
