q To.lnorrow,o said they, strong with hope,
An Academican Mystifed by his ow
Daughter.

Daughter.
Among all the jokes that have been got
up among the gay circles Of Paris, we know
Of none better than the one played off on q
distinguished academican, who was mysti.
fed during the whole evening by his own
daughter whom he left sick in bed at
home, and was far from supposing to be SC
near him:
at may be thought strange that father
should not recognize his child, but, though
passing strange, it is true. Besides, the
young lady appeared that night in char
acter entirely new to her-that ofa coquette.
No wonder that the parent did not recog-
nize his modest, quiet daughter in the lively
firt, who tormented him necessarily. The
poor man could not for the life of him i'm
agine who the lady could be; SO young, ap-
parently, yet so well acquainted with all the
incidents of his early life, who had all his wri-
tings by heart, who adored his favorite au-
thors, and fattered him so skillfully, not
only in his own taste but in every whim.-
The academican was in his seventh heaven.
He was young widower, we'll looked upon
by the fair, and he saw nothing extraordi-
nary in his having produced an impression
in his unknown character; the only thing
that surprised him was the exact conformity
OF all her tastes, opinions, studies ana pre-
judices to lis own The night few away
in conversation Towards the close of the
ball, the gentleman invited the fair unknown
to supper. Of course the invitation was ac-
cepted, the lady stipulating only that she
should not remove her mask. Another
wonder. She knew exactly what dishes he
liked and what was his favorte wine AT
the close Of the supper the gentleman po-
litely offers to escort the lady to her resi-
dence ''No, no, said she, 81 am deter
mined to remain incog. But will wait on
you home" The carriage stops in front of
his house, he takes leave of his fair un-
known and steps out alone, as he supposes,
and sighing of the necessity of separation,
but finds his companion has entered the
house with him and is tripping up stairs =
Overcome with surprise, he exclaims: "Ah,
madam, is it possible Such happiness p
A burst of laughter interrupts his passion
ate exclamation, and a well-known voice
cried from the top of the stair-case-"G Good
night, papa, | am much obliged to you; I
have spent very pleasant evening"

GEN BUTLER ON THE WAR.-General
Buffers opinion as to the manner in which
the war should be prosecuted is given in
his letter to the Springfield (Illinois) mass
meeting as follows:
Compromises are impossible save between
equals in right. Reorganization or recon
struction is alone useful when vicious parts
are to be left out. Amnesties are for indi-
viduals, not for organized communities
Therefore prosecute the war, bring every
part Of the country into submission to the
laws Of the United States then there will
be no place for rebellion, no parties for
compromise, no occasion for reconstruction,
and clemency may be shown and amnesties
offered to individual citizens who desire
them. Is there any other way to restore
the Union

Advice to Young Men.

A lady, who signs herself ga Martyr to
Late Hours" offers the following sensible
suggestions to young men -. -......., a,
Dear gentlemen between the ages Of
''eighteen and forty-6ve," listen to a few
words of gratuitous remark When you
make social call of an evening, on a young
lady, 90 away at a reasonable hour. Say you
come at eight O'clock, an hour and half is
certainly as long as the most fascinating Of
you in cGnyersation can, or rather ought, to
desire Is y his charms Two hours, in
deed, can ge very pleasantly spent, with mu-
sic, chess or other games, to lend variety ;
but, kind sirs, by no means stay longer
Make shorter calls, and come oftener. A
girl--that is a sensible, true-hearted girl
will enjoy it better, and really value your ac-
quaintance more. Just conceive the agony
of girl who, well knowing the feelings Of
father and mother upon the subject hears
the clock strike ten, and yet must sit on the
edge Of her chair, in mortal terror lest papa
should put his oft-repeated threat in eXecu-
ton-that of coming down and inviting the
gentleman to breakfast And we girls
understand it all by experience, and know
what it is to dread the prognostic of displeas-
ure. In such cases a sign Of relief general
ly accompanies the closing Of the door be-
hind the gallant, and one don't get over the
feeling of trouble till safe in the arms Of
Morpheus Even then sometimes the
dreams are troubled with some phan-
tom Of an angry father and distressed
(for all parties) mother and all because a
young man will make a longer call than he
ought to. Now, young gentlemen friends,
III tell you what we girls will do. For an hour
and half we will be most irresstibly
charming and fascinating; then, beware,
monosyllabic responses will be all you need
expect And if when the limits shall have
been passed, startling, query shall be heard
coming down stairs "Isn'tit time to close
upW you must consider it arighteous pun
ishment, and, taking your hat, meekly de-
part-sadder, and, it is to be hoped, wiser
man. Do not get angry; but the next
time you come be careful to keep within
Just bounds We want to rise early these
pleasant mornings and improve the shining
hours !" but when forced to be up at such
unreasonable hours at night, exhausted ma
ture will speak, and as a natural eonse-
quence, with the utmost speed in dressing,
we can barely get down to breakfast in
time to escape reprimand from papa, who
don't believe in beaux-as though he never
was young-and mild reproving glance
from mamma, who understands little bet
ter poor daughters feelings, but must still
disapprove outwardly, to keep up appear
ances. And now, young men, think about
these things, and don't-for PHYS sake
don't-throw down your paper with

PRoFLIGACY IN WAsHINGTON.-T
correspondent of the Boston Tra0eyer thus
discourses of matters and things in Wash
ington "It is useless to deny that the war,
has, in a measure, poisoned the taste Of the
people, bringing, as it has unmistakably, a
train of evils to the doors of Washington
previously but little known, until it is sad
dening to behold the utter degeneracy Of
the people, particularly the middle classes,
to-day. The stranger cannot fail to observe
the large number of jabbering foreign row.
dies who congregate at the different corners
of the different streets. Many Of these fell
lows are exiled vagabonds, who are here on
the lookout for the first dishonest official
who has something to sell. 1t makes no
difference whether the property be confsca-
ted furniture, captured horses, or Quarter
master or Commissary stores the purchaser
has no principles to lose, and why should he
be scrupulous in making bargain Then
there are scores of black-legs and profess
sional gamblers here from New York, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, and Boston, playing
their arts most dexterously to inyeigle as
many unsuspecting soldiers as possible into
the meshes, after the Paymaster has been
around ana in which | am sorry to say, they
often succeed, robbing the foolish men of
their hard earnings Brazen-faced harlots
promenade the avenue and dash through the
streets in open barouches, dressed in the
most fashy costumes, their faded features
covered with chalk and rouge. Halfintoxi-
Gated rowdies roll through the streets in
open carriages, smoking their cigars, and
shouting indecent language la fact, gam
bling, licentiousness, drunkenness and every
species of evil, run riot throughout the city,
until profigacy reigns supreme. l would
like to tell you few facts in relation to the
''illegant hotels" Of this dusty place, and of
the recherche style in which nothing is
served. But enough Of Sodom and Gomor-
rah.
WHO IS OLD.-A wise man will never
rust out As long as he can move and
breathe, he will do something for himself
his neighbor, or for posterity. Almost to
the last hour of his life, Wellington was at
work So were Newton, Bacon, Milton and
Franklin The vigor of their lives never
decayed. No rust marred their spirits 1t
is a foolish idea to suppose that we must lie
down and die because we are old. Who is
old Not the man of energy; not the day la
borer in science, art or benevolence; but he
only who suffers his energies to waste time,
and the springs of life to become motionless;
on whose hands the hours drag heavily to
whom all things wear the garb of glory.

PLAIN FEATURES Plainuess of features
is not at all incompatible with beauty There
is great deal of difference between per-
sons being plain and being ugly. A person
may be very plain, and yet attractive and
interesting in both countenance and manner,
and surely no one could call such person
ugly. An ugly face is repulsive There
are no rules that can be depended on for the
settlement of beauty; and still less can ug-
illness be defined, otherwise than by ITSELF
If we we're asked to say what constitutes an
ugly woman, we could not reply. We know
there are such, for we have seen them.

HEALTH OF JEFF DAyIs-A late pris-
oner in Richmond gives the New York
World the following intelligence
The miserable story that guard has been
placed around Jeff. Davis house to keep
him from running away is, Of course, un-
true 1t was probably intended as a joke.
He bears continued news OF defeat and dis
aster as bravey as he may. His health,
however, is completely broken down. Our
informant does not believe that he can hold
out many years longer. He looks very
worn and sick, and he has been suffering a
great deal He still rides out whenever he
is well enough, at about five or six o'clock
in the afternoon, either in carriage with
his wife, or on horseback with his nephew.
During the first disasters the people were
bitter against the Government and the Pres
ident, and partizanship is, of course, still
rife; but much of this feeling is changed
very lately into total hopelessness of the
cause Of the South under any leadership

A MEXICAN FEMALE COLONEL "A
Paris correspondence of the London Times
says:
Among the Mexican prisoners brought to
France by the transport Rhone is a young
Indian woman, only twenty-three years of
age, who was Lieutenant Colonel of the reg
iment of Zacatecas, and who in the course
of seven years rose step by step from the
ranks by her courage and talents. She fol-
lowed her husband from the army and was
soon promoted to the rank of second Lieu
tenant for her distinguished bravery. The
death of her husband, killed in action, af
forded her an opportunity of avenging him
and rising another step. The French defeat
at Gaudalope on the 18th May, 1862, OBJ
tanned for her the rank of Lieutenant Colo
mel, second in command Of regiment, in
which position she greatly distinguished
herself during the siege of Puebla. This
singular woman handled the sword like
first rate fencing master, and she made her
self not only respected but feared by her
soldiers, who looked upon her as a super
natural being After Ortega surrendered
at discretion at Puebla she was brought to
Vera Cruz and was lodged on board the
Rhone until the vessel sailed for France
Her order of embarcaJion mentions her rank
and gives her right to sit at the field off
GERS table. She is said to be of agreeable
personal appearance, although as might be
expecred rather more masculine in her ways
than altogether becomes her sex.

BARKING AT NI1N1srERs.-A certain
class of men in every community take pleas
ure in cavilling at ministers, imputing tc
them unworthy motives, and insinuating dis.

fellow at the fire side, who was speaking Of

imposters and sympathetic hypocrites. Sterne
got up while the young man was haranging,
and approached toward the fire, coaxing and
pattinga favorite little dog. Coming at length
toward the gentleman, he took up the dog,
still continuing to pat him, and addressed
the young fellow;

Horatio Seymour's Views.

The following is an extract from a speech
delivered by Gov Seymour Of New York,
before the democratic nominating conven-
ton, in Albany, September 9th, 1868
"Whatever may be the course of the Ad-
ministration it becomes the conservatives to
say to the South-Let the war cease come
back to your allegiance, and we will protect
your rights. Never have | embarrassed the
Administration, and I never will. I have
at all times sought to uphold the army and
have neglected no opportunity of sending
succor to our men. have toiled without
ceasing to do my duty to the soldiers from
New York. [ have issued upwards Of five
thousand commissions, and | don't know
that the Administration, with all the unkind
things its friends have said of me, has had
oc casion to say that my course has been
partisan in regard to them. [ repeat that
am full of hope for the future. | have new
er doubted that the Union will be restored
I have never feared that the rights of the
States will be destroyed | have never for
moment believed that the invasion of the
rights of the States by the Government
could be Of a permanent character The
principles of Cancellation and wisdom which
guided our fathers, will outlive the folly Of
their successors. Cancellation is magnani-
nous; generosity in its nature is larger than
hate. A generous course now will commend
us to the world. Applause TO the dis
solution of the Union [ will never consent.
[Cheers. I would put forth every power,
| would exhaust every measure Of concilia-
ton, would appeal to the interests, the
hopes and fears Of the citizens of the
South, and urge every suggestion which it
becomes a man to make, to bring back the
revolted States; but as to dsunion [ will
never consent to that. Let US put forth ev-
cry power to restore the Union, invoking
every consideration Of patriotism, doing all
that is due to the country and to ourselves,
invoking the return of every State, holding
sacred every star upon those flags that sur
round us, (pointing to the flags that decorated
the hall,) and marking him who would
strike one from its blue field as much traitor
as he who would rend it's folds asunder"

A GOOD HoRsEMAN.-Gen. Grant prides
himself on his horsemanship. At the bat
tie Of Monterey, he was ordered to carry out
an order to point where he had to pass un-
der the fire Of a battery. He put his horse
to full gallop, threw himself over his side,
after the manner Of the Indians, holding on
by the horses name and by one leg thrown
over the cautel Of the saddle, and in this
position leaped four foot wall. Gen. Grant
was married soon after he left the regular
army, and he has now three children, one of
whom, a boy about six years old, is nearly as
good rider as his father.
