How TO CouRT IN CHURcu.--Ayoungg gem tleman, happening 10 sit at church in n pew adjoining one in which sat young lady for whom he conceived sudden and violent pas sion, was desirous of entering into acourtship on the spot but the place not being suitable for formal declaration the exigency of the case suggested the following plan:
 He politely handed his fair neighbor bi- ble opened with pin stuck in the following text:
 Second Epistle of John, verse 9th
 "And now bcseech thee, lady, not as tho wrote new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one apother."
 She returned it pointing to the 2nd Epistle of Ruth, verse 10th:
 "rhen she fell on her face and bowed her self to the ground and said to him--why have found grace in thine eyes, seeing that am q strangcr?"
 He returned the book pointing 10 the 18th verse of the 3d Epistle of John "Having many things to write unto you, l would write with pen and ink, but l trust shortly to come unto you and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.'
 From the above interview, marriage took place the ensuing week.

The Fight Near Presburg.
visana Correspondence London Iimes ]

visana Correspondence London Times.
 At 2:80 P. Nj. I heard the astonishcd news that the Prussians had attacked the corps q armee of Count Thun [the Second) in front of Prcsburg, and that severe conflict had been going on there forseveral hours. The officer who gave the informa ton at the same time stated that tAegraphlc despatches had been at once sent off to an- nounce the conclusion of the agreement for five days suspension of hostilities, and that the fighting must have ceased soon after 12 o'clock. Presburg is nearly forty miles distant. The railway which runs to it from Vienna. on the left bank of the Danube, was held in various places by the Prussians, and no trains had been despatch ed for many days. The steamers had stop ped running, and it was not possible to get to the place, even if the road and bridge ofboats to the city were clear, till night fall. suspension ofhostilitiesin Vienna, and battle forty miles away at one and the same time, were embarrassing events to deal with but it was evident that Austrian and Prussian had renounced the combat long before I could have reached the spot, and so put off my departure till this day, when it is probable the Archduke and his headquarters will move from the city to- wards his army to await the course of events. It is plain the Prussians could not have known of the temporary truce, or they would not have attacked the Second Army corps, but as yeti have no infor- nation. It appears that the Prussians at tackled the Austrian position outside Pres burg with great vehemence in the morning, skirmish being gradually developed on their side into an action. But though Count Thun's corps was not very strong, the Austrians were in great force near Presburg, and were enable not only to hold their own but to drive the Prussians from the hills or rising ground they got possess ion of in the early part of the attack. The engagement took place at Blumenau, lit tie village some three miles northeast of Presburg, on the junction of the road from Marchegg with the roads which run down the valley of the March, and then proceed nearly parallel with the railway from Vien- na to Presburg, which branches off from the Ferdinand Nord Balin at Ganserndort. Probably the details of the engagement, as well as the news of the five days truce, were known in London and Paris at least as ssoonas they reached us in Vienna. Here we can only say that the Austrians repulsod the Prussians, and that when the orders to put an end to the fight pere received they had the advantage and kept it. There was gleam of light on the Austrian arms for once, it is said. but it was soon obscur- ed by the news of the truce.

TIE UNITED STATES, ENGLAND, AND THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.--The New York Com- merciat notices the nice messages between the Queen, the President, and other parties, in order to ask:
 How long, in case of war between England and this country, would American dispatches be tolerated on the submarine wires? Great Britain would at once take armed possession of both shore ends, and we should busy our selves with disputing that possession. or in grappling after the cable in mid ocean, in or der to sever the link that kept the mother country in hourly communication with her colonies. So, if Great Britain were at war with any other nation, that belligerent would deem it duty to destroy the iron cord which contributed to the wealth and power of En- gland. As soon would her commerce be al- lowed to go unchecked upon the sea, as this great business tie be allowed to remain un- touched No evidence is necessary to show the utter worthlesness of international declar- ations, when presumed national interest is involved

The Prussian Needle GQn--A writer in the \ A1hnnr Aroel1s en uc.

The Prussian Needle Gm.--A writer in the Albany Argus says:
 About fourteen years ago the writer of this was introduced to the inventor of the needle gun. He isa German gunsmith and 2 native of Berlin, He examined his rifle in all his de- tails, and took drawings of it's several parts. It was patented in the United States, and the inventor visited this country for the purpose of inducing our government to adopt 1t for the army. It's cartridges were pronounced unsafe for use by the officers of the Bureau to whom it was sent for exalninaton, but the Prussians know how to use them, and they arc unsafe to those against whom they are directed. Prob ably we have now some breechloaders equal if not superior 10 the needle gun;sand Wesley Richards English breech-loader, which has recently been furnished to several British reg iments, has sliding breech with screw joint nearly similar to that ofthe German Fund Needle.

Making Me Most of 0ae's Self-We Have a good specimen of this in the case of our Chi nese friend, who sits so comfortably in his boat-hands, feet, mouth, and eyes, all so busily employed.
 The Chinese are very industrious, thrifty people, and very fond of money making. It is wonderful how ingenious they are in deyi- sing means of profitable employment. We wish that our young friends stood in no need of hint on this subject. It would be we'll ii they were always employed, and always gel employed; for we are sure that there is great truth in those words of the poet: ''Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do.
