They All Will Do So.

A young man, the son Of a well dol far

euamored of a young lady, and after a
brief courtship, proposed and was accepted
But what was his surprise one evening,
when about to enter the parlor with the
unceremonious freedom of young lover, at
discovering his inamorata upon the sofa,
her arms around the neck of a neighboring
youth, her lips in such blissful proximity
to his as to convince our hero that matters
were fearfully in earnest. mirage and NOR

just in time to surprise his only sister, the
pious wife of the village minister, "squees-

who had "stolen a a1narch upon her as she

The light-ofmorning encouraged him, how
ever, and dew drenehed and rsorrowfuls he
sought his home, when his mother, with
true maternal solicitude, questioned him as
to the cause of his sad locks whereupon he
related briefly the Inconsistency of his fair
betrothed, receiving in reply the gratifying
.intelligence't that she was good-for nothing,
miserable hussey, and he must never speak
to or notice again one so wholly unworthy.

following singular Divorce case is related
by the Albany Statesman "a few
weeks ago young lady, aged sixteen,
caused young man, aged seventeen, to
be arrested, charged with seduction.
The young man, to escape going to pris-

Marriage took place. The young man

young lady that be only married her
to escape going to prison, and the whole

The Waning Rebellion.

A acotemporary very handsomely puts
the following facts together. They are
worth looking at by the faint-hearted as
we'll as the disaffected:
Three years ago the rebels held firm pos
session, of all Eastern Virginia, and dog
gedly disputed the supremacy of West Vir-
ginia. They held undisputed sway over
every foot of North and South Carolina, of
Georgia and Alabama, Of Florida, except a
fort at the mouth ofPensacola harbor they
held all Of Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas,
Arkansas and Tennessee, and had complete
control over the Mississippi River, from the
mouth of the Ohio to the Gulf They stub
bornly disputed the possession Of Kentucky
and Missouri they threatened Maryland,
and beseiged the capital of the nation.
The rebellion has lost nearly half of is
territory and quite half of its resources. 1t
has lost continually. It's successes on the
battlefield have never yet staid its retreat
ing god Terminus while its defeats have
been followed Immediately by the abondon-
ment of whole states or large districts. In
'62 it lost Kentucky and Missouri, parts of
North and South Carolina, East Virginia,
Nashville, New Orleans and Memphis. Tn
'63 it lost Middle and Western Tennessee.
Arkansas, North Mississippi and Vicksburg
with the Great Father of Waters itself
In '64 it has lost its last hold or East Tenn
essee, and North Georgia, and North Ala
bama and Gen. Grant has driven Lee to
the gates Of Richmond, after worsting him
in series Of great battles In word, the
rebellion is dying Of a galloping consump-
ton. yn 9 , Hrs
Yet there are those who think the rebel
lion cannot be put down and to say that
s'if Grants beaten in battle that is the end
of the war; AS flour armies had not al
ready been beaten in more than one battle.
The questionis not, who loses now and then
battle, but whose cause it is that steadily
loses. On which side is it that it's victories
yield no substantial fruits, while its defeats
are enduring disasters
