SWEET SIXTEEN.

What different thing sweet sixteen used t, be, if novelists are to be believed, from what i
 IS to day. Then it was artless and unsophisti
 cated, blushed when spoken to. said Yes, sir
 and No, maam,' and was always introduced to the reader in white robes and flowing tres ses. unconscious of it's own loyeliness and o the admiration it awakened. Perhaps the pic ture was true one. but what would it be il drawn to-day? Somebody, you can't cali it | young woman, for it is not womanly, nor g young lady, for it is not lady-like. Girl seems so simply innocent. and the Bowery term gal. the best, if one only dared use it.
 Somebody. with its hair scarped back and several pounds of hardresser's ringlets pinned on by way of ornament; with powder on its cheeks; with jockey lat and feather, and garments suitable for the carriage costume of and English woman of rank trailing behind il over the muddy streets with cheeks guiltless of any natural blush. and eyes that meet those of strangers all too boldly with queer habits of giegling and whispering. and forming chance acquaintances Tn omnibuses; of knowing the gentlemen who pass the house to bow to ot seeing fun in pranks which would have doomed our grandmothers to solitary confinement iu their own rooms, a convent or an insane asy- lumn. With a fixed idea that Pa is the person to provide the wherewithal for his daughters extfavagance, and that Mas place is in the basement, especially when beaux call, and that sweet sixteen itself has no duty to either pa rent to perform, and ful6lls its mission if it looks pretty, dresses well, and finally marries no matter whom so that he has moustaches and plenty Of money. So much for the real now for the ideal which the novplists of '65 entertains of sweet sixteen. It has passed drought the most mysterious adventures. been betrothed for several years. It possesses some secret power of facination which no man can resist. It is capable poisoning it's great aunt and of stealing it's grandfather's will. It can disguise itself in male attire, and penetrating the dwelling of it's worst enemy fathom his se- crets and circumvent him. It must be, you fancy, at least thirty odd, and very bold and brazen, even at that age, but you are told it is but sixteen. and the loveliest of it's sex.
 Between the real specimens, which resemble boys in crinoline, and the fictitious, whic h are Lucretia Borgias under age, yon become per. plexed on the subject of sixteen. and wonder woefully where the "sweet" comes in. in this degenerated generation.

2. A RAILROAD RoMANcE-The Nashville Union vouches for the truth of the following story One morning in May the train for Louisville bore an unwonted number of elegant women and nicely dressed men, the latter in- cludiDg large sprinkling of Uncle Sam's pets with shoulder straps. On one of the seats was married lady, in fine health, with sparkling eyes anu vivacious spirits. She was accompa- nied by little daughter and colored lady with the baby. Behind the lady sat a young lieutenant dressed to kill, ard anxious for a love adventure. He scrapsd acquaintance with the lady by attention to her children, and soon they were on very pleasant terms. The lieu tenant felt that he had made an impression and showed it by his actions, while the lady was apparently pleased with her casual acquaintance Soon matters reached climax, which is thus told
 By and by the train approached the tunnel at Muldrough Hill. The gay and festive lieu. tenant leaned over and whispered in the lady 8 ear It was noticed that she appeared as thun- derstruck, and her eyes immediately after fam. ed with indignation. A moment more and a smile lighted up her features What change That smile, it Was not of pleasure, but was sin- ister. It was unperceived by the lieutenant. She made him reply which rejoiced him ap- parently very much.
 For the understanding properly of the mar. rative-this OCT true tale-we must tell the reader what was whispered and what was re. piled. Whispered the lieutenant, mean to kiss you when we get into the tunuelp Re piled the lady, It will be dark-who Il see it ? Into the earth's bowels-into the tunnel-rau the cars. Lady and colored nurse changed seats. Gay lieutenant threw his arms around the lady sable, pressed her cheek to his, and fast and furious rained kisses on her lips. In few moments the train came out into broad daylight: white lady looked amazed, colored lady bashful, blushing gay lieutenant befogg g. ed. sJane,' said the white lady, what have you been doing ?
 Responded colored lady, Nothing r Y es you have,' said the white lady, not in an under tone but in voice that attracted the attention o all in the car : See now your collar is rumpled and your bonnet mashed.' Jane, poor colored beauty, hung her head moment, the observed of all observers aud then turning around te the lieutenant, replied, This man hugged and kissed me in the tunnel i! Loud and long was the laugh that followed among the passengers The white lady enjoyed the joke amazingly Lieutenant looked like a sheep-stealing dog left the car, aud was seen no more during ths trip.' a ssaI-a 'a-

 THE MARRIAGE FEE.-The late Dr. Bounton was once disputing with farmer about the ease with which a minister earned his money. Now, said the farmer, when you are called on to marry couple, you never expect sum less than three dollars-this for few minutes service.' Pooh r replied the doctor, 1 would agree to give you half of my next marriage fee for bushel of potatoes.' A few days after wards the doctor was called on to splice a couple at Dogtown, a place about four miles from where he lived. When the ceremony was over the bridegroom said to the worthy minis. ter, Well parson, s'pose I must fork over something for your trouble. What say you to taking one of my terrier pups The best breed, I tell you, in the country Shockin' nice to have in the barn. Wuth full five d ol lars, and I s'pose figure 2 would do. for the splice, eh?' The doctor took the pup with ioy. The joke was too good he hastened to the farmer, saying - Now, friend, here is my fee; how shall we divide it. The farmer relished the joke so we'll that he increased the potatoes to half a dozen bushels. '*'- 5+H ''"f'} }E'

Away, away on wings of love
Fly Ger each hill and dale
And find no other place to rest
Than on the fitting gale
Tell darling many an hour
L sit and watch the silent stars,
With all their magic powerl
And wish that were one OF them,
So radient, clear and bright,
That never cloud might intervene
To hide me from his sighti
These rays Ger life's tempestuous sea
Might beam on him a-far,
And guide him to one loving heart
