! rot materially add to the Meagre information
We received In the first telesTaphic accounts
from The Prussian capital; but they largely
increase the interest Of tho story, and render
the reported suicide more doubtful than
ever. From those organs of the Continental
press, as well as 1rom Herr Blind himself,
gather the following particulars:
Count Dis,nark had Just lei the Royal Pal

Wurtembere two days previously, had OBJ
tained exact Information upon Bfsmark's s

lrecisc locality. The yeung man fired his
first shot from considerable distance, miss
iug the Count, as 1t would appear, when au

and struck him over the arm with the dat oi

The Printer-Fiend.

The night was dark and not a star
Peeped through the gathering gloom;
And silence brooded o 'er the type
In the composing room.
The printers had to supper gone,
Ard vacant were their places,
When through the door villain crept,
And stolo Dick Johustons spaces!
Oh, foulest wrong beneath the son!
oh. deepest of disgraces!
The darkest crime that can be dono
Is that of stealing spaces.
When the forgiving angels pen
All other sin grasses,
Alone, untouched, shall still remain
The sin Of stealing spaces.
Dick went to lunch, y and left his case
Fillcd-runinag o'er--with letter,
And thought he would return again
When copy should be latter.
When he came back he took his place
Again before his cases
You should have seen his attitude
When he boheld his spaces!
1t was no time for charity,
Or other Christian sraces;
lie wildly cried-"Ill dot the eyes
OF him who stole my spaces!'
The fcnd still lives and walks the earth,
And so must walk forever;
lie cannot die-a wretch like him
For rest awaits him never!
And printers, for long years to come.
viii trcmbc at their cases,
Well knowing that his spirit still
Is fond of stealing spaces!

INTERESTING AND SENsIBLE.-There is
perhaps no more pcrplcxIng situation for
a Young man, and modest withal than that
i'll which he finds himself when unable to
determine whether the .yGuug rosy maid.

to various eypedients such as wearing a
ring Oh a particular finger, &C.; to make
known to their friends and acquaintance
the important fact that they are about to
merge their individu; lity into that of ona
of the stcrner sex, but these expedients
have not fully answered the purpose, and
it WAS necessary to devise some new meth

THE TRuE STANDARD OF DRESS.-We 0
higher beauty to attain the lower one. A
woman who will sacrifice domestic ;eflcc-
ton, conscience, self-respect, honor, to love
of dress, we all agree, loves dress too much.
She loses the true and higher beauty of wo-
manhood for the lower beauty OF gems and
flowers and eolors. A girl who sacrifices to
dress all her time, all her strength, all hei
money, to the neglect of the cultivation of
her mind and heart, and to the neglect OF
the claims of others ON her helpiulncss, is
sacrificing the higher to the lower beauty.
Her fault is not the love of beauty, bat
loving the wrong and inferior kind. In
fine, girls. You may try yourselves by this
standard Aou love dress too much when
vou care more for your outward adorlings
than for your inward dispositions, when
you are more troubled by an i'll fitting gown
than by Il, neglected duty-wlen You are
less concerned at having made an unjust
comment, or spread seanda.ous report,
than at having worn paSSee bonnct-when
You are less troubled at the thought ofbcing
found at the last great feast without the
wedding garment, than at being found at
the party to-flSht Ill tlie iasilloH oi iasi
wear. No Christian woman, as view It,
ought to give such attention to her dress as
to allow il tsi take up all of three very imp
ortant things, viz: all her time, all hel
strength, all her money Whoever does
this lives not the Christian but the Pagan
lile-worships not at the Christians altal
of our Lord Jesus, but at the shrine of the
lower Venus of Cornth and Rome, ,-MRs

You insert, from some radical sheet, the
following:
I'm a recent letter Alexander II. Stephens
declares that the condition aud prosecutions
OF Union men in Georgia are vastly worse
than during the rebellion. Col. .J. w. Shaf-
fer, who has just returned from a two
months tour OF the gulf States, asserts that
nearly all Northern immigrants will return
home by May l-so bitter is the feeling
cherished against them by the Southern
people, '' W
Permit me to assure youthat Mr.. Stephens
has written no such letter, and Col. Skaters
statement is without the slightest particle
Of truth for basis. Northern immigrants,
who have come South for the purpose Of
engaging In business, are well received and
well treated. All that is asked of them is
to cease the eternal,- never-ending radical
rant and TRADE of abuse of Southern insti-
tutions aud Southern people. There are
thousands OF Northern men Throughout
the South, who have come down since che
close of the war, and can give the neg
ative to Col. Skaters statement. They are
engaged in all sorts of enploymeTts, devel-
Oping the mineral, mining, 'nianafacturin
and agricultural resources of the country.
The officer who was for long time in COM
mand OF the Southern prisoners OF war on
'Johnson's Island, is now engaged Ia busi-
ness in the South. Heis one who. from his
former position, might be supposed to have
as many personal enemies in the South as
any other'one man. Not thatfie was worse
than the keeper ofaEy other prison, but

4 WORD FOR WIvEs.-IIttle wives.
if ever half-suppressed sigh finds place
with you, or a haif.unloving word escapes
you to the husband whom you love, let
your heart 90 back to some tender word
in those first days of love! Remember
how you loved him then, how tenderly
he wooed you. how timidly you respond
ed, and if you can feel that you have not
grown unworthy, trust him for the same
fond love now IF you do feel that thro'
the many cares and trials of life you have
become less loveable and attractive than
you then were, turn-by all that you love
on earth, or hope for in heaven-.urn
back and be the pattern of loYeliness that
won him; be the ''dear one your attrae-
tions made you then. BE the gentle, low
ing, winning maiden still !; and doubt not
the lover you admired viii live forever in
your husband. Nestle by his side; cling
to his love. and let his confidence in you
never tail; and. my word for it, the hus-
band will be dearer than the lover ever
was. Above all things do not forget the
love he gave you first. Do not seek tc
.'emaneipate" yourself-do not strive tc
unsex yourself and become Lucy stone,
or Rev. Miss Brown; but love the pur-
er, higher honor ordained by our Savior
of old-that of loving wife. A happy
wife, blessed mother, can have no high
er station, needs no greater honor.

A RAT SToRY-There is living In
St Louis at the present time man of
fine education, loug past the meridian of
life, who has seen better days, whose fine
sensibiIities have been mellowed rather
than blunted by the adverse circumstan-
ces through which he has passed, and
who makes it his special duty to place a
large bowl of fresh water, every evening,
at the time of dusk, in his room, for the
express benefit of the rats that live in his
immediate precinct. He then eompla-
Gently places himself in an old armchair,
and silently enjoys the scene before him,
as one little animal after another appears
at his feet shaking their parched throats.
In his own words, 'he eontemplates them
with indiscribable pleasure as they sip
their drink and look up into his face with
an expression of gratitude J" What an
enigma life is, to be surel Here is a
man who for many days scarcely finds
means to provide for one substantial meal
too proud to make his necessities known
to a cold, uncharitable world, he struggles
on yet in the nobility of his humanity
he provides for the wants of the rat, an
animal which all creation naturally
loathes. Sterne, in his fine conception;
of humanity, does not present anything
superior to that picture.
