Beau Fielding.

"From the State Trials" MIR. Mcqueen
says, "we collect that the celebrated
protiigate Beau Fielding, who fourished in
the reign of Queen Anne, entertained a
project of repairing his battered fortunes
by marrying certain rich widow, whom
he bad never seen, but of whose pecuni-
airy resources he had prudently informed
himself by obtaining from Doctors Com
mons a copy of her husbands will. To
this lady the beau sent many tender and
urgent messages, soliciting permission to
throw himself at her feet, not doubling
that if she were but once to behold bis
very handsome person, she must necessa-
rily conceive for him passion similar to
that which had seized other women on
their first seeing him. The widow, how
ever, Wa learn, took no notice of his i'm
portunities. But one of his emissaries, a
woman of the town, having sustained
some slight at his hands, revenged herself
by persuading another of her frail sister
hood to personate the widow, and to come
in that character to hisApartnents This
done, Spanish priest attached to for
eign embassy was sent for, and performed
the ceremony of marriage in the beau's

WOoing by the Australian Blacks.

Courtship, as the precursor to marriage,
is unknown among them. When a young
warri5r is DESTROYS of procuring a wife, he
generally obtains one by giving in exchange
for her sister or some other female rela-
tive of his own; but, if there should hap.
pen 10 be no eligible damsel disengaged in
the tribe to which he belongs, then he HOY
ers round the encampment of some other
blacks, until he gets an opportunity of sez.
ing one of their leubras, whom, perhaps,
he has seen and admired when attending
one of the grand cOrroborries. His mode
of paying his addresses is simple and eff
cacious. With blow of lis nulla-nulla
(war-club) he stuns the object of his "af-
tious," and drags her insepsible body
away to some retired spot, whence, as soon
as she RECEIVERS her senses, he brings her
home to his own gunwah in triumph.
Sometimes two join in an exhibition for
the same purpose, and for several day they
watch the movements of their intended
victims, using the utmost skill in conceal
ing their presence. When they have OBJ
tanned the knowledge they require, they
wait for dark, windy night; then quite
naked, and carrying only their long alag
spears, they crawl stealthily through the
bush till they reach the vicinity of
the camp-fires, in front of which the
girls they are in search of are sleeping.
Slowly and silently they creep close
enough to distinguish the figure of one of
those leubras; then one of the intruders
stretches out his spear, and inserts its barb
amongst her thick flowing locks; turning
the spear slowly round some of her
hair speedily becomes entangled with
it; and then, with a sudden iirk, she is
aroused from her slumber, and as her eyes
open she feels the sharp point of another
weapon pressed against her throat. She
neither faints nor screams she knows well
that the slightest attempt at escape or
alarm will cause her instant death: SO.
like sensible woman, she makes virtue
Of necessity, and, rising silently, she fol.
lows her captors. They lead her away to
considerable distance, tie her to a tree.
and return to ensnare their other victim in
like manner. Then, when they have ac-
complished their design, they hurry off to
their own camp, where they are received
with universal applause, and highly hon.
cred for their chivalrous exploits. Cham

Four steps go up to the base of the altar. They
are all made of Pennsylvania marble, except

Ireland.
But the great triumph of the Cathedral is the
dome. At the base it is seventy one feet in
diameter. The walls are ten feet thick, ana
inside 1t is tifty-One feet across. From the
ground to the top OF the dome is two hundred

gilded cross. Being on elevated ground, the
Cathedral is by far the highest building in the

Edward Everett or the Result OF the
Election.

In happy contrast to some OF the utter
ances Of radical presses and orators, are
the following words of EDWARD EVERETT,
spoken in Boston since the election:
The election, in all but its formalities, is de-
cided. 1t is due to both parties to say that
they accept the result, the one its defeat, and
the other its victory, with moderation and
equanimity. 1t is in this spirit alone that our
common country can be carried through its
great trial. The last hope of the hostile lead
ers is in our divisions. With sure indications
of cordial union on our part, ''down their
idle weapons will drop" or to be wrested
from their hands by the indignant and weary
masses, whom they have BETRAYED into this
desolating war. Let us, then Mr.. Chairman,
study the things that make for peace, in the
first instance with each other, as the surest
means of an honorable and lasting peace with
our deluded countrymen. 1t rejoiced my
heart the other evening. at the opening of the
fair, to be followed on the platform by my life
long friend Winthrop. who filled the same
place on the unsuccessful ticket that 1 do on
that which prevailed, and whose admirable
speech commanded the entire sympathy Of the
audience. A fair appeal has been made to the
people. to which they have responded in terms
not 10 be mistaken. Let the successful party
continue to abstain from all unkindly exulta-
ton, and the defeated from all bitter partisan
warfare

The Words We Use.

Be unaffected, be honest in your speak
ing and writing. Never use long word
where short one will do. Call spade
spade, and not well known oblong in
strument of manual industry; place a
place, not a locality; and so of the rest
where short word will do, you always
lose by using a long one. You lose in
clearness, you lose in honest expression of
your meaning; and, in the estimation of
all men who are competent to judge, you
lose in reputation for ability. The only
true way to shine, even in this false world,
is to be modest and unassuming. False
hood may be very thick crust, but in the
course Of time truth will find a place to
break through. Elegance of language
may not be in the power of all of US, but
simplicity and straig ht forwardness are.
Write much as you will speak; speak as
you think. If with your interiors, speak
no coarser than usual; if with your supe-
riors, speak no finer. Be what you say,
and within the rules of prudence, say what
you are. Avoid all oddly of expression.
No one ever was gamer by singularity of
words, or in pronunciation. The truly
wise man will so speak that no one will OBJ
serve how he speaks A man may show
great knowledge of chemistry by carrying
about bladders full of strange gases to
breathe, but he will enjoy better health,
find more time for business, who lives on
the common air. When l hear q person
use queer expression, or pronounce a
name in reading differently from his neigh
bors the habit always goes down, minus
sign before it; it stands on the side of de-
ticit, not of credit. Avoid, likewise, all
slang words. There is no greater nuisance
in society than talker of slang. 1t is
only tit (when innocent, which it seldom
isl for raw schoolboys and one term fresh
men to astOnish their sisters with Talk
as sensible men talk; use the easiest words,
in their commonest meanings. Let the
sense conveyed, not the vehicle in which
it is conveyed, be the subject of attention.
One more, avoid in conversation all sim
gularity of accuracy. One of the bores of
society is the talker who is always setting
you right; who, when you report from
the paper that 10000 men fell in battle,
tells you that it was 5000; who, when
you describe your walk as two miles out
and back, assures you that it lacked half
furlong of it. Truth does not consist in
minute accuracy of detail, but in conveying
right impression; and there are vague
ways Of speaking that are truer than strict
fact would be. When the Psalmist said,
Rivers of water run down mine eyes,
because men keep not thy law" he did
not state the fact, but he stated a truth
deeper than fact and also true.

The New York Times, commenting upon
letter from its Port Royal correspondent
concerning the exchange Of prisoners, says:
Our correspondent does not conceal the fact
and we have no wish that he should do So
that in the agony of long-deferred hope which
is akin to despair, some of our unhappy men
are purchasing release from their horrible cap
tivity by taking the oath prescribed by their
captOrs Radicalism in the conduct of war is
a mighty fine theory. But there are two to the
game. Surely, surely, there can be, in this hour
of national triumph, no good cause, political
or military, why mutual exchange should not
be effected, which would speedily empty the
military prisons North and South.
