n. K. C.-we have received rather mysteri-
on document bearing the signature Of g Comus,
fnforming us that the famous g Mistick Krewe OF
Comus = expect this year to celebrate their
sacred mysteries on Mardi Gras Day, and that
their Festival will take place on the evening
Of that day at the Varieties Theater. It is
against our usual rule to- take notice of anonymous
communications, but in consideration of the en-.
joyment that the mysterious "Krewe y have
afforded our people in former times, we give them
he benefit of this notice. /" Comus y requests us
IN his note to say that the tickets he issues are
entirely personal. intended as a compliment to the
person addressed alone, and therefore no trans
fer Of tickets will be recognized. Each holder Of
= ticket must identify himself as the person to
whom it is addressed. Look out on Mardi Gras
Day for the "Mistick Krewe.n It will be their
FIRST appearance since 1861.

SLEEP.-The editor of the Evans
vile Journal brings into his columns
the following on the subject of sleep.
Pray, sir, how do you know how much
sleep women require !
"Women require more sleep thar
Taen, and farmers less than those en-
gagged in any other occupation. Editors,
reporters printers, and telegraph ope-
rators require no sleep at all. Lawyers
can sleep as much as they choose, as
they will thus be kept out of mischief
Ciergymen are allowed to sleep twenty.
four hours and to put their parishes tc
sleep once a week.

From RusselFs Maga-ine.
a Years Courtship.

saw her, Harry, first in March
You know the street that leadeth down
BY the old bridges crumbled arch
Just where it leaves the dusty town.
A lonely house stands grim and dark
You've seen it then need not say
How quaint the place is-did YOU mark
An iyied window Well, one day,
/, chasing some forgotten dream,
And in poets idlest mood,
Caught, as passed, white hand's CLEAN,
A shutter opened-there she stood,
Training the ivy to its prop
Two blue eyes, and brow of snow
Flashed down upon me-did l stop?
She said did do not know.
But all that day did something glow,
just where the heart BEATS frail and slight
A germ had slipped its shell, and now
Was pushing softly for the light.
And April saw me at her feet,
Dear month of sunshine and of rain
My very fears were sometimes sweet,
And hope was often touched with pain
For she was frank, and she was coy,
A wilful April in her ways,
And in a dream of doubtful Joy,
passed some truly April days.
May came, and on that arch, sweet month,
The smile was grayer in its play,
And softening with the softening South,
My April melted into May.
She loved me, yet my heart would doubt,
And ere / spoke, the month was June
One warm, still night we wandered out
To watch slowly setting moon.
Something which saw not-my eyes
Were not on Heaven-a star perchance,
Or some bright drapeFy of the skies
Had caught her earnest, upward glance,
And as she paused-Hal we have played
Upon the very spot-a fir
just touched me with it's dreamy shade,
But the full moonlight fell on her.
And as she paused-I know not why,
! longed to speak, yet could not speak
The bashful are the b0ldest-I-
stopped, and gently kissed her check.
A murmur, telse some fragrant air
Stirred softly,l and the faintest start!
Oh, Hal, we were the happiest pair!
Oh, Hal clasped her to my heart
And kissed away some tears that gushed-
But how she trembled, timid dove!
When my soul broke its silence, flushed
With whole burning June of love.
Since then, happy year hath sped
Through months that seemed all May.
And soon q March sun overhead
VIII usher in the GROWING day.
Twelve blessed months that seemed to GLOW
All summer, Hal my peerless Kate
She is the dearest-"Angelr no
Thank God-but you shall see her-wait
SO, all is told count on thee
10 see the Priest, Hal Pass the wine!
Here's tony darling wife to be,
And here's to when thou find st herr thine
