Cry vs.. COUNTRY LIFE,--Cory O'Lanus, of the
Brooklyn Eagle, gives his experience of the felici
ties of country life at this The locality is
somewhere in New Jersey:
The place lisa lonely spot, but wants improving.
The sidewalks are not tagged, and there are no
street lamps. .H f
No ice cream saloon, no lager, no aldermen or
any of the luxuries of city lfe
p. But there is a great deal of nature. The nature
consists mostly Of trees, rail fences, cornfeds and
mosquitoes. ...-
Particularly mosquitoes.
Also dogs Everybody in the country keeps
dogs. They are animals of large pattern, not par
ticular about the breed. a|
They earn their bread by barking after COWS,
horses and strangers. a.a
There is picturesque village, composed OF 4
tavern and two blacksmith shops. Being situated
on the banks of canal, it may be regarded as q
watering place. The graceful. canal boats gently
gliding along at the rate of two miles week, re-
minds you Of Venice and gondolas. r-.s.fL..
1t much resembles Venice before Venice was
built. ," ..r4..
Farming is very serene. You get up in the mid
die of the night and milk the COWS and split wood
for breakfast. You then hoe corn till breakfast is
ready. -l.I 1915. ...a a.
After breakfast you feed the pigs and hunt eggs
Then hoe corn till dinner is ready. A,
By way of variety you then milk the COWS and
feed the pigs. .0' 49, .a "
The balance of the evening is spent in the cheer
Then THERE'S the girls. .s -
Most of the farmers raise girls They are usefu
to feed the chickens and sit up with the young mel
in the best room on Sunday evening
Z. Country girls are nice. .H zaT E. ~
If you should want to get married at any time
III take you out to Jersey and introduce you.
The Jersey girls wear waterfalls, exhibit pre-
ference Tor male society, are very fond of peanuts
When you go counting them, you must Away
take pocket full of peanutsi if you don't want tt
be considered mean.
The phiiopena business is verypopular. The girl
are very apt to expect it. l have just bought on
fancy store, and sent it up there by express, t
square my outstanding liabilities in that line.
otherwise, sitting up with country girls is yer
refreshing. Sitting with one arm around he
waist, the other hand engaged in fattening mo-
quitoes while she tells you all about the quiltin
party last winter at Aunt Jerusha's; what Sail
Ann Spock wore when she was married to Josia
Corndodger and how many chickens thew hs
when they commenced housekeeping, is an enio
ment not to BE met with in town.

sing virgin fair to view
Just vergin' on to forty-two. .t
A maid she is of whalebone made,
And dignitied, because she's stayed.
A lass she is who sees, alas rs ~.f&
In looking glass, one eye Of glass; ..
She puts on airs to draw mems eyes,
And hairs her badness to disguise.
A hue and cry some people raise,
Ger painted hues upon her face.
She at her birth such wealth did get,
Her teeth in solid gold are set.
Her bosom, that explosive part,
Is busted by Partisan art.
She wears such hips, that at her back,
Men call her hypochoaariac.
Her made up calves are so complete,
She follows COWS along the street.
No minor, tho brass mines she own;
And rocked in wealth, her heart is stone.
Comparisons bowel was ne er her virtue
But concence hers of guilty percha.
Tho men she hates, her attempts, I'm told,
To catch some man, are manifold.

CoTToN-The movement in the leading staple
has disclosed no material variation of any kind
since our last. Offerings to-day have ruled, as for
some time past of limited character, with better
supply, however, of the lower than of the higher
grades, while the demand was steady and rather
active for the latter but continued restricted for
the former. Transactions for the day have been
confined to 1888 bales, which were divided among
eight buyers, and the market closed unsettled
with a still upward tendency for low middling and
higher classfcations and some evidence of weak,
ness in ordinary and good ordinary cotton. We
however, repeat yesterdays quotations, as the
principle, if not the whole of the operations for
the day have been effected within the range of
previous figures, viz: Ordinary 30@32c good

A few days since Frenchman and wife gave a
dinner party to celebrate. the twentieth year of
theiE marriage. Just before dinner one of them
broke tumber. This led to discussion, which
ended in each party expressing wondor at having
mad the patience to live twenty years with so
horrid and so stupid an animal as the other. The
wife put on her bonnet and quit the house. The
husband lighted a ehatng dish full of charcoal in
his chamber, and laid on the floor. When the
guests came, and failed to obtain admittance,
they broke open the doors and found the husband
corpse. .7.f

True Love.
BI Ii. @. SAVAGE.

To muse throughout the crowded day
Of busy scene and changing face,
On one loved being far away,
Nor see another in her place.
TO think with undivided thought,
Though broad the seas that intervene,
OF her, nor count all others aught, .m-.
This-this is love, l ween.
To find that songs no more are sweet
Has SHE not sung ALL music tame
To feel the pulses quickening beat
At the mere breathing of her name;
To dream of eyes of tenderest blue,
Whose lightest glance your heart would stir
And feel since she has gone from you,
all womankind have gone with her. . -.
To know that sadness bitter, sweet,
In haunted ground which she has trod,
To dream her faith can never fleet, -.
Immutable as the law of God; I..
To wake and find the dream is DER,
Then seek, suppressing cry or moan'
With broken heart the silent shore
This-this is love alone. "T 'ia

Doremus gave exhibition of a new application
of electricity as motive power. The apparatus

simple combination the electric current is opened
and broken, causing driving shaft to revolve

and reversed, overcoming Immediately the forward
motion. The exhibition was very satisfactory. a
more practical test will soon be made on one Of

Lady Arabella in the brilliant saloon of the Count
de Pompereno, was struck with the spirited
lustre of her dove-like eyes. In short, my friend,

THE ASSASSIN OF LINooLN.-The declaration o.
the man in Louisville that he is the as ASSN OF
President Lincoln, is not an uncommon exhibition
of the perversity of human nature. The books
abound with instances of the confession of of
lenses by persons who were known to be innocen
of the acts they avowed. Nay, men have beer
actually executed on confessions of crimes which
subsequent revelations proved they could no
possibly have committed. There is no explaining
these excentrcities but on the hypothesis of In
sanity
Yet, after all, it is not barely possible that thu
wretch in Louisville tells the truth? Wilkes Boot
was never convicted of the murder of Presiden
Lincoln. The body brought to Washington and 81
clandestiney inferred, was never identified as tn,
| corpse of Wilkes Booth. We remember with wha
care the remains were covered from public view
and deposited in a spot whence they can never b.
reclaimed. Why all this mystery? These +" his
tory doubts " we commend to the scrutiny of thu
vigant Stanton. Where is the man Baker? He
