At an early hour this morning the various
railroads leading into the city began to bring
their heavily laden trains Of live humanity
The country for fifty miles around is pouring
forth its population to pay their last respects
to him whom they honored and loved. The
streets are one living, moving mass. II is
hardly possible to pass through the crowd
which extends up and down the principal
streets as far as the eye can see, The people
form in solid column, as close as nature and
the fashions will permit, at least half mile /
from the capitol, on Broadway and then, two \
abreast, they are able to take one forward step
about as often as once each minute. Those
at the foot Of State Street are at least two
hours walk from the Capitol, so slowly do
they proceed, aaa 81 si6o
The day is warm, and many OF the country
people, having started from home a few hours
before daylight, when it was cool, are dressed
In warm clothing, presentinga picture at once
exciting admiration for their love Of the late
President, their perseverance and patience, as
well as sympathy for their weary limbs and the
disappointment in store for them atnot being
able to see the President, on account Of the
lateness Of the hour when they will be able let to
reach the Capitol. Am# 7aa9ss I'LL.
All the public buildings, stores, and nearly
all the private residences, are draped with the

Receiving Attention.

+; We find the following practical advice
adrift in our exchanges "a young man
admires pretty girl, and must manifest it.
He can't help it for the life of him. The
young lady has a tender heart, reaching out
like vine tendrils for something to cling to.
She sees the admiration;is is aattered /; be-
gins to love; expects some tender avowal
and perhaps gets so far as to decide that
she will choose white satin under thin
gauze, etc., at the very moment the gallant
that she loves is popping the question to
another damsel ten miles off! Now the
difficulty lies in not precisely understanding
the difference between polite attentions and
the tender manifestations of love. Admir-
ing beautiful girl, and wishing to make a
and therefore it is necessary that the dam
sci should be on the alert to discover to
which class the attentions paid her by a
handsome and fashionable young gentleman
belong. First, then, ii a young man greets
you in o loud, free and hearty tone; if he
knows precisely where to put his hat or
hands; if he stares you straight in the eye,
with his own wide open; if he tells you
who made his coat; if he squeezes your
hand; if he eats heartily in your presence
if, in short he sneezes when you are sing
ing, criticises your curls or fails to be fool
ish in fifty ways every hour, then don't fall
in love with him for the world He only
admires you, let him do or say what he will.
On the other hand, if he be merry with
every one else, but quiet with you; if he be
anxious to see that your tea is sufficiently
sweetened, aud your dear person well
wrapped up when you go out into the cold
If he talks very low, and never looks you
steadily in the eye if his cheeks are red,
aud his nose only bushes, it is enough
If he romps with your sister, sighs like a
pair of cid bellows, looks solemn when you
are addressed by another gentleman, and,
in fact, is the most still, awkward, stupid,
yet anxious Of all your male friends, you
may go ahead, and make the poor fellow
too happy for his skin to hold him Young
ladies keep your hearts in a case of good
leather, or some other tough substance,
until the right one is found beyond doubt.
after which you can go on, and love, and
court, and be married, and happy, without
the least bit of trouble y ao

Get Off that Stump.

Among the paroled rebel soldiers who
came up on the steamer Lady Gray, on
Tuesday, says the Cairo Democrat, was q
man little over seven and a half feet in
height. He started out with the Missouri
troops at the commencement of the war,
and stuck to them until the dog was dead"
and never received scratch. Soon after
he was mustered into the rebel service, the
regiment to which he belonged appeared
before the Colonel on dress parade, and the
Colonel, who prided himself on the fine ap-
pearance and good size of his men, cast his
eyes along the line, with smile ofselfsat-
isfaction until they rested on the towering
form of the tall Missourian, when he knit
his brows, and called fercely in thunder
tones, "Get off that stump, you imperti-
nent scoundrel, or I'll order you under ar
rest" afas saaa
The soldiers looked at each other, won
dering what the Colonel meant, but no one
moved. Finding his authority treated with
disrespect he fairly boiled with rage, and,
advancing to the big soldier, exclaimed,
"What in the ID are you standing on p
The soldier respectfully replied, Son my
feet, Colonel" The Colonel was complete
ly taken aback, as he surveyed this tall
specimen of humanity from head to foot In
blank amazement he mumbled an apology
for his rude remarks and fastened away,
leaving his men convused with laughter.
"Get off that stump" became a by-word
with the Missouri rebels, and it will no
doubt live as long as the long Missourian.

her lifetime engaged to be married, and
twice some unforeseen event interposed to

Here was a sad'case. Time began to wrin-

To add to her distress she became sick,
"nigh unto DEATH" The Junior curate of
the parish--a bashfnl youth-was sent for.
The sick room was filed with sympathiz-

on the chapter where the woman of Sama-
ria is introduced When he read the
words $50 call thy husband" the sick
woman groaned little, but when he utter

said, / have no husband" the old lady rose
upright in her bed; her eyes flashing fire,

Wear a Smile.

Which will you do, smile and make others
happy, or be Grabbed and make everybody
around you miserable? You can live
among beautiful flowers and singing birds,
or in the mire surrounded by fogs and frogs.
The amount of happiness which you can
produce is incalculable, if you will show a
smiling face, kind heart, and speak pleas
ant words. On the other hand by sour
looks, cross words and fretful disposition,
you can make hundreds unhappy almost be-
yond endurance. Which will you do?-
Wear pleasant countenance let joy beam
in your eye and love glow on your forehead.
There is no JOY so great as that which
springs from kind act or pleasant deed,
and you may feel it at night when you rest,
and at morning when you rise, and through
the day when about your daily business.

GIRLs.-There are two kinds of girls
One is the kind that appear best abroad
the girls that are good for balls, rides, par
ties, visits, &c, and whose chief delight is
in such things The other is the kind that
appear best at home, the girls that are
useful and cheerful in the dining room, the
sick room, and all the precincts of home.
They differ widely in character. One is
often torment at home, the other bless
ing; one is a moth, consuming everything
about her; the other sunbeam, diffusing

the shape of work, whether mental or ply

morrow, saying, "'Then I will do it." No!

The Old Woman and the Grow.

AT certain crOss-r roads, in the State of
Alabama, stood small grocery, or whis-
ky shop" previous to the rebellion, where
bust head and chain-lightning were
dealt out to thirsty unwashed at the small
sum of five cents drink, or twenty cents
a quart. The presiding genius of this de-
lectable institution was one Bill Skies.
who among various other pets, had a do
mesticated crow, black as the ace of
spades. This crow had learned, among
other things, to repeat quite plainly the
words (" damn you," which he, of course,
heard frequently used in the grocery. Da-
ring the prevalence Of knock-down and
drag-out fight one day, however, the crow
was frightened from his home and few off
INTO the woods, never to return.
About three miles from the grocery was
settlement meeting house-an old. tum-
ole-down, dilapidated affair, only used on
certain occasions, when a circuit rider
happened to pass that way. Into this build
ing went the crow taking peaceable possess
sion and two days thereafter the church
was thrown open for preaching, and large
crowd assembled, among whom was a yerv
OLD lady who was compelled to use crutches
in walking, and took her seat in the "front
pew" and was soon deeply absorbed in the
eloquence of the preacher. The reyerened
gentleman had scarcely got under full head
way, and commenced laundering his ana
themas at all grades of sinners. when a
hoarse, croaking voice from above uttered
the ominous words
Damn y0U %
The preacher and congregation looked
aghast at such profanity, and each peered
IN his neighbors face in vain to detect
some sign OF guilt. Quiet was at length
restored, however, and the sermon proceed
co. out ere ten minutes had elapsed the
omlnous damn you again electrified the
audience, and just as the preacher cast his
eye upward to search for the delinquent,
the crow flew down from his perch, and,
lighting on the Bible, calmly surveyed the
croak
Damn you P'
Inc effect was electrical. Giving one
startled and terrified glance at the intruder,
the preacher sprang through window, car
rylng sash, glass and all with him and set
on at break-neck pace through the woods,
closely followed by his horror stricken con-
gregatlon who had piled out of the build
ing pellmell after him. In the general
scramble, the old lady with crutches had
been knocked down in the church, where
she lay unable to raise, and on observing
her, the crow (who was after something to
eat) flew down beside her, and cooking up
his eye at her very knowingly again croak-
Damn you .r'
The old lady eyed him savagely for
few moments, and then burst forth in a
tone of reckless defiance
"Yes-and damn you too had moth
ing to DO with getting up this Methodist
meeting-and you know it, too I"
The poor old soul had mistaken the crow
'or the Devil, and concluded to propitiate,
+ possible, the wrath of his Satanic maies-
y by denying all completely in the affair.
The world is full Of just such people.
