Love is q worry uncertain thing. and
it is not very safe to be too certain Of
the symptoms until they are unmistaka-

by the comical result of strange love

very strongly, and persuaded him to
visit her at her house. But, alas! he
loved another lady. One evening,
while conversing with him, she said:
"With your favorable idea of matii-
mony, may / ask ifyou ever thought Of
marrying yourself?
DIR, Kant sighed, and his eyes resting
ON the ground, hesitatingly muttercd

of several years with her licge lord in
England, she returned with him to re-
side. for q short time on one of their
Irish estates As the carriage drove
up 20 the mansion she noticed several
fine looking children about the gate,
and having learned that their mother
was the wife Of the gate porter she de-
termincd TO intcrrogate her relative
to the cause Of hcrfecund ty; she there

the porter's lodge and commenced her
inquiries.
"Whoso children are these, my good
womang'
They arc all my own, my good
lady
What! three infants of the same

"Ycs, my lady; 1 had those three
the last time"
How long are your married.
"Threc years, your ladyship."
"And how many children have

"Seven."

tions, how she came to havo the chill

TO wrapt up in delicate words her idea
Of cause and effect blushcd and grew
confused and at last for want ofsome-
thing better TO say, replied
- thiuk itmust be the potatoes, my
lady"
This unfoldcd theory of population
was quite now to Lady Middleton,
whose eagerly asked
"The potatoes? do you eat much Of
,thcm?"
80 yes, lady; very seldom we hayc
bread, and so take the potatoes all the
year round"
Greatly agitated with her new in-
formation, the lady continued her
questions;
"And pray where do you get your
potatoes"
To this question she received u salts
factory answer.
"Well, - said Lady Middleton, "scrC

DcscrsntLon OF Qncem Emma.

The following is description of the
Queen of the Sandwich Islands, who is
now in Now York Queen Emma
(pee Miss Emma Rookie was born on
the I'd Of January, 1896, and is consc-
quently in her thirty first year She
is the Queen DoWager of Alexander
Liholiho Kamehamcha W. born Feb
ruary 8, 1884, and died in November,
1863. The late King wassucceeded by
his brother Lot Kamchamoha v, born
December 1, 1880, and now reigning.
The present Queen has had but one
child-a prince-who died at the age
of four years The late husband of
Queen Emma was an adopted child Of
King Kamehamcha Ill, who'd De-
cember 10, 1884, leaving Him the
Throne. The personal appearance Of
Queen Emma is quito attractive and
ladylille. She is Of the medium height,
well and compactly built, and has q
smile continually playing about her
regular teatures. With an olive com
pleXion, jet black hair, lustrous darl,
eyes, and an easy though majestic de-
meanor, she would be taken by even
veteran Travellers for creole lady oftho
Gulf coast or of the Antilles. She
dresses in plain black, and shows no
jewelry. In fact, she can becompared
to no royal parsonage in her style and
general appearance unless to Queen
Victoria. Shespoake English perfectly

tion and accomplished in manners

RApE.--Such outragcs as is recorded
below are of frequent occurrence in
some sections ofthe country, This ac-
count is taken from the Americus (Ga)
Republican Of the 4th;
On Monday last, a negro man by the
name Of Charles Pagan committed one
of the most diabolical crimes known in
our land on the person Of young and
beautiful lady in the eastern part of
this county. We refrain from giving
her name, She was on visit to q
ncighbor's when the negro saw her en-
ter the house. and waited for her to
leave. On her way home he overlook
her and laid violent hands on her; it
was not until she was so Frustrated in
trying to prevent his object, that he
succeeded in his helish design, After
accomplishing his purpose, he threat
ened to cut her throat, but by her en-
treaties and promising to say nothing
about the matter, he desisted, Hethen
made his escape, but was pursued and
ovcrtaken near Sumter City. He was
then brought before the young lady
who identified him as being the person,
and he Immediately acknowledged it,
The brother Of the lady then shot him
almost instantly, 'H aasl sa

Oh, beautiful morning oh, clear the skyi
We roomed together through wood and field,
We drank the perfume the wild flowers yield !;
We crushed the buttercups under our tread,
And their gold dust gildod lho daisy rod;
And we sat through sunsets rcd and rare
With our faces liitcd--our brown heads bare
To catch the glory that rippcd down
Over the meadow, and river, and town.
We watched the Tuscany roses bloom,
And the hyociuth full of faint perfume;
And we gathered ancmoncs out OF the cold
And rare pond lilies with hearts Of gold.
AT night on the swell Of breezy hill,
We sat and worshippcd the twilight still;
And the whippoorwll sang in the darksome
swamp,
And the full moon lit her blool-rcd lamp
And wcsaw the purple flush OF the day
Grow palcr and palcr, then fade away.
And when the stars came out ia tho skv,
And the katydid's voice rose clear aud high,
And the cricket chrped in The hawthorn hedge,
And the musical river ran o'cr the scdcc,
And the mist rose white as the winlry snow.

Another story is that in certain

know the tax collector and paid with

but knowing that attempts were made
to impose upon them, of course regard
every body else as a swindler. An

ing chosen, and when he attempted to
collect they refused to pay. lie was
rather peromptory, wheroupon they
seized him, tied his wrists and ankles

There are other advantages worthy Of con-

and anguage-the Austrians of many. The
Prus'iqns are all educated up to n certain
standard and the army represents the people.
They have been trained to gymnasic- exer-
