A MATRIMONIAL HIT.- You remem-
Der somewhere to have read story
Of youth who, hesitating in his
choice between two young ladies, by
both of whom he was beloved, wos
brought TO a dicision by means of a
rose. 1t happened, one day, as all
three were, wondering in a garden,
that one Of the girls, in attempting 70
pluck new blown rose, wounded her
finger with a thorn. 1t bled freek;
and applying the petals of white
rose TO the wound, said, smiling; II
am a second Venus; / have dyed tie
white rose red" AT the moment thsy
heard q scream and fearing the otfsr
lady, who lcitered behind, had met
with an accident, hastcned back to as
sist her. The fair ones scream had
been called forth by no worse an ac-
cident than had befallen her compan-
ion. She had angrily thrown away
the offending flower, and made SO per-
tinacious and fretful a lamentation
over her wounded finger, that the
youth, after q little reflection, resolved
on a speedy union with the least hand
some, but more amiable of the two
friends. Happy would it be for many
a klnd-hearted woman, did she know
by what seeming trines the affection
OF those whom she loves may be con-
firmcd or alienated forever.

ELOQUENT Extract.

The following is an extract from the
speech of the Hon. George III. PEN
dleton at Flemingsburg, Kentucky:
l stood the other day in that beau
tiful cemetery which overlooks the
valley of the Kentucky River and the
capital of your State; wandered
among its beautiful trees, and looked
upon the inscriptions upon its many
tombs. / saw there the heroes of civil
strife-I mean civil, as distinguished
from military-who had died with
their harness on. / saw the graves of
the immortal dead who had died in
the Indian wars, in the War of 1872,
in the war with Mexico, and those
who had died in our late unhappy and
wretched civil strife. Old and young,
all bore testimony to the courage and
valor and heroism and loyalty of Ken
tucky. There they lay all together,
those who had died fifty years ago and
those who had died this year. Con-
federates and Federals lay side by
side, their battles over, their struggles
past there they lay in the calm re-
pose Of a common death. Their spir-
its had assembled upon eternal wings
to perform in concurrent harmony the
duties assigned them by the Divine
appointment of their Almighty Maker.
And why is it, gentlemen, that we, the
living, feeling the necessity of har-
mony. must wait until n common death
shall seize us, and until shall be too
late, before we strike hands together,
bury our differences at the foot of our
country's altar, and swear that by the
Eternal God, to her, and to her alone,
we will be true forever?

PARIS HEADS. The ubiquitous
"Crocus," who was last heard from
at Saratoga, has turned up in Paris,
and expatiates on the fashions After
describing the frying-pa bonnet with
pork rind ribbons, he comes to the
head itself, r
Hair is not worn this season, the
head being smoothly sand-papered,
vanished, and all the chronological
development colored, numbered, label
ed, and illustrated with India ink.
This novel style causes much commo-
ton among those whose bumps are
lacking, and many are the devices US
ed to conceal the deficiency and swell
bumps as virtue, humility, love of
home, economy, and others which are
unusually missing from a fashionable
woman's head Many wear O neatly
fitting plaster, cast with prominent
traits strongly developed. A stranger
is introduced he sees some fine bumps
is pleased, and finally marries her.
During the honeymoon he playfully
hits his wife over the head with a stool
whom off comes the plaster and she
stands forth unmasked. Many cram
iums are grained in imitation of Amer
lean woods: at any sorcc may be seen
maple, oak, beech, and not q few
bass-wood heads. e

The Proposed Constitutional Amend
The Chicago Tribune says

The Chicago Tribune says
"Let these Copperheads tell the peo-
pie what objection there is to the SEQ
ond clause Of the amendment" lt-
Those whom the Tribune pleases to
term Copperheads have been telling
the people pretty effectively their OBJ
jections to the amendment referred to.
They are /:
1. While altering the basis of rep
resentstion, it does not change the ba-
sis of taxation, which is to continue
upon numbers, not wealth. Illinois,
with not as much wealth as Massa-
chusetts, is yet obliged to pay about
two dollars to Massachusetts, one,
whenever Federal taxes are levied
This kind Of inequality exists with
many other States. 1t is not right,
and no-~-----a...---..s .s.ouiu NC uiaQe 10
tho seotion which leaves this monstrous
inequality standing. Taxation should
be upon the amount of property in O
State, and not the number of people
and voters in it.
z. The original clause IN the Con-
stitution, which apportions represen-
tation upon the basis Of the whole
number of people, white apd black,
male and female, voters and no voters,
is perfectly fair, and can not be inn
proved. No amendment can be made
to this section which does not impair
its equality and justice. For instance,
the amendment proposes, in substance,
that if negro men are not allhwed to
vote, the whole negro population will
be excluded from the basis of repre-
sentation. At the same time, however,
women and children under twenty -one
years Of age don't vote, and yet they
are counted in representation. VIII
the Tribune tell us where is the justice
in this discrimination ? Why -shonld
noyru men have moro .iShto than arc
accorded to white women? Why
should the negro be put above other p
non-voting classes?
3. The amendment is Objectionable
because it is bribe on the one hand
to States to adopt negro suffrage, and
a punishment on the other hand of
loss of members of Congress if they
refuse. 1t is unequal in its operation,
because the South has large num-
Der of negroes and the North has but
few to be effected by it.
4. 1t is Objectionable because it is
submitted to the people by less than
two-thirds of Congress, which is the
Constitutional rule. Eleven States,
whose votes would have been against
it, were not allowed to vote on the
question. The attempt to carry it in
this manner is fraud upon the non
States = Gin. Enquirer.
