same material, that set of his manly form
had been spun and woven by his mother
and sisters. His small clothes were of
buff, and the buckles that confined them
over his silk stockings at the knees, were
sparkling with precious stones, and were
wedding presents from his father.
1t was not till after midnight, a late
hour for that primitive people, that the
guests dispersed and left the house to its
occupants. The occasion had been one Of
enjoyment 10 all, and for years aferward
the wedding Of Patty Bird and Ezra Ian.
don was quoted as the finest affair of the
kind that ever took place in Dee,feld. -
When those who were young maidcns then
had long been matrons, they were wont to
relate the story Of that wedding to their
bright eyed daughters, to descant upon
the handsome form and features, and gal.
liant bearing of the bridegroom, and the
beauty of the bride; and to set forth as
objects Of emulation the tradition of the
wedding garments prepared solely by her
own hands.

"UGlyJ l love to court in winter
The'many girls l know,
When all outside is dreary,
And covered up with snow,
l love to court in winter,
Because the old folks dread
The cold and stormy weather,
And hurry off to bed.
l love to cour: in spring time,
When all is bright and gay,
When nature smiles 80 sweetly
To chase the cold away;
/ love to court in spring time,
Because the girls you know,
They look SO awful pretty in
In dresses cut so low.
l love to court in simmer,
When all things are in bloom,
And yet | think that counting
Will ever be my doom,
For | have asked just twenty. ore,
Of all the girls | know,
To have me for their loving one
And ther have answered no!

city 80 late on Sunday night that there was little

FACTS IN REGARD TO RICHMOND. A
correspondent writes from Richmond to
the New York Euening Post, giving
some facts for the guidance of Northern
merchants. We quote: II am satisfied
your merchants i'm New York are pre-
pairing for themselves harvest Of dis
appointment. In their anxiety to sell
goods they are crowding the southern
market to such an extent as tempts to
extravaganza. 1 tell you the people
here are poor, and cannot pay for The
goods now being sent to them. And
unless there is some wholesome restraint
on southern trade, in twelve months
from this there will be a crash among
such merchants in our eastern and
northern cities as push their desire for
gain beyond the limits of legitimate de-
mands- The burnt district of Richmond
is building up rapidly by northern capt.
tai and rents are at enormous rates.
And this city is only sample of the
whole South. A small store room which
cost before the war two hundred and fif-
ty dollars per annum, now rents for a
thousand dollars-and this while the
whole country round about is wilder
ness of ruin. You cannot squeeze wine
out Of turnip any more than you can
collect debts in Virginia at this time or
for years hence. The people Of the
South are poor and feel poor, and will
live accordingly, if not tempted be-
yond their means; but your merchants,
/ fear, will feast them on luxuries and
