A HEROIC GIRL.-A Warrenburg,
(Mo.) correspondent of the St. Louis Re-
publican says :-On Friday night last,
two men knocked at the door of an old
gentleman by the name of Bedicheck,
living near Columbia, in this county, and
demanded admittance His daughter,
Young lady of some Is years, who togeth-
er with her father, were the only inmates
of the house, asked what they wanted -
They would give no satisfaction, and she,
on going to the window, saw that they
were armed with guns. She told them
that she would not let them in, but that
if one of them would set his gun down
she would let him in, at the same time
telling her father to be prepared for emera
gencies. After coming in he asked II
there was any one else in the house ex-
cept himself and daughter, and was told
there was not. He then walked back
and examined the beds in the room, re-
turning to the fire and says: "Old man
I have come here to kill you," at the
same time drawing a revolver from his
breast. The old man seized the pistol
with one hand and threw the other around
his waist, and being strong man OF his
age, succeeded in holding him while his
daughter ran to another part OF the house,
seized a corn knife, struck him severe
blow. as she thinks, on the arm holding
the pistol, somewhat disabling it, then
fell to work on his head. In the mean
time, the old man disengaged himself
seized a sword cane which he fortuna ely
had, and run the miscreant through three
times with it. :,
Rv this time the villain was Justify
shouting murder, and calling to his friend
To helm him out. His friend ran around
the house to another door and burst 1t m,
where he was met by this heroic girl,
and. receiving severe cut, was forced
back, she shutting and boiling the door
in his face, and putting upa curtain at
the window which bad fallen down. to
nrevent his looking in. He then fired
some two or three shots at the window,
which was high up and carried the shots
to the ioist above. He then returned to
the first door and broke that in, giving
his friend chance to escape, which he
managed to do, and being met by the
girl, backed out, no doubt being glad to
escape with what he had already received.
After short time, the father and daugh-
ter, on leaving the house, to go to neigh
bors nearly quarter of a mile OF, saw
the hat Of their first assailant lying behind
the hen house, literally cut to pieces, and
the place where he probably died-the
/
ground being covered with blood and
also the tracks of horse, which had
come and no. doubt carried off the dead
man.

HINTS TO YOUNG GENTLEMEN.

Don't give up your seat in the cars
when you are tired with your days work,
to pert young miss who has been anus
ing herself with little shopping. She
won't even thank you for it; and if man
is going to sacrifice his comfort, he has a
reasonable right, at least, to expect little
gratitude. No use being polite to some
ladies' there's an old proverb about cast
ing pearls before-what's their names?
Don't submit to be crowded off the
pavement into muddy gutter by two adj
yancing balloons of silk and whalebones.
Haven't your newly blacked boots as good
claim to respect as their skirts Look
straight before you, and stand up for your
rights like man. The ladies can con-
tract little, when they see there s no
help for it.
Don't talk literature and the fine arts
to the pretty girls Of your acquaintance
until you are sure they know the differ
ence between Thompson's Seasons and
Thompson's Arithmetic. And if they
look particularly sentimental, then you
may know they do not understand what
they are talking about.
Don't ask nice little girl about her
dolls unless you are very certain she hasn't
come OUT and been engaged in two or
three firtations already.
Don't say complimentary things to
young lady at party without first max
ing sure that her intended is not stand
ing behind you the whole time.
Don't accept ladies invitation to 60
shopping with her unless you have previ-
ously measured the lenght of your purse.
Don't stay later than eleven o'clock
when you spend the evening with pref
ty friend-the wisest and wittest man in
Christendom becomes bore after that
hour
Don't believe any woman an angel. Ii
you feel any symptoms Of that disease,
take dose of sage tea and go to bed
it is as much malady as the small pox,
and it is your business to get over it as soon
as possible. An angel indeed! Ifyou don't
erably more than wings, we are sadly
mistaken!
Don't make up your mind about any
creature in belt.ribbon and velvet rosetts
without first asking your sisters advice.
Depend upon it, one woman can read an
other better in five minutes than in five
years.
And, above all, don't imagine that you
must keep your lady talk and gentlemen
talk in separate budgets, labelled and
sorted, unless you want the girls to laugh
in their sleeves At your wishey-wasky SEN
timental,sm. Talk to them in frank,
manly sty'e, as you would to an intelligent
gentleman. Don't suppose because they
are women they don't know anything.
Remember all this advice, sir, and you
will make rather less fool OF. yourself
than YOU would otherwise.

METEOROLOGICAL. We have had o most
favorable change in the temperature within the last
two days. Early yesterday morning heavy storm
set in, and during the day the wind blew from the
north and the rain fell IN chilly copiousnes-. rendering
the weather more lke that OF November than August
The change is very desirable nnd has brought thick
clothing aud Autumn habiments generally into use.
We wish this condition of the atmosphere would con-
tinue; but We shall have Midsummer heats again.
