PoPPISG THE QUEsTIoN.--Mr.
Smithson Ian improvement on the
celebrated name of SMITH wished to
take Miss Brownly (another improve
ineat) to the opera. He had been OF
intimacy with the family for about
FIVE years, but "never spoke of love -
on the contrary, he had frequently de-
clared his intention of leading a bach
clor's life. One morning he put his
hand to the bell handle and was ad-
mitted.
"Oh, James" exclaimed Miss Jane,
''where have you kept yourself SO
long -
This took Smithson 4 little aback,
for he had spent the preceding even
ing with the family. Before he could
answer, however, James brothers and
sisters(eight or ten in numler) had
gathered about him. Summoning all
his coul age. he said:
Il have come to ask YOU"
Not here, James-no-now-oh.'
THAT is" stammered Smithson. .'if
YOU are not engaged"
"Oh oh water-quick."
whats that ?" inquiries her father,
''who says she's engaged:"
Il didn't mean-"said Snithson in
confusion.
..Of course not - continued Mr.
Bsovlly, you've always been our ia
vorite =
Then advancing and taking poor
Smithson's hand, lie said:
Take her, she's a good girl, and
loves vou to distraction. May you be
as happy as the day is long"
Thereupon father, mother and chill
dren crowded upon Smithson and
Wished him Joy, and company coming
in at the moment, the affair was told
to them as profound secret. So
Smithson got wife without popping
the question, and almost before he
knew it himself. Bat we cannot help
thinking lie was hurried into matri

A PRINTERS TOAST.

The following ingenious sentiment was
given by Mr.. Henry L. Williams, at the third
annual dinner Of The Typotheto, February
20, 1866, at the Maison Doree: -
THE PRNTER-AN EPIToME OF TRADES
AND PRoFEssIoNs.-Like the Lawyer, he
practises at the bar, and handles capital as
well as lo~er cases like the Moralist, few
have palmer rules to guide him; like the
Bravo, he sticks daggers into many forms
like the Astrologer, he reads the stars; like
the Jailor, he is great on locking up like
the Witch, he has dealingsqo itb the devil like
the Cheat, he is versed in all the arts Of inn
position; like the Hunter, he knows all
about the chase; like the Perjurer, he has a
strong lye always ready; though his profess
sion is not as old as Adams, yet, like the
Gardener, he must be able to manage a Hoe,
and, unlike the original gardener, will never
want clothes, with a Taylor in his office;
like the Soldier, he can handle shooting
stick, arrange columns, and set up canon !; like
the Dandy, he is fond of dash like a
King, he has plenty of pages; like the Base
ball Player, he catches on the fly; like the
Milliner, he keeps stock of small caps, 5or-
ders, and tao,oers;; like the Jeweller, he can
set pearl, ruby, agate, diamond like the
Housekeeper, he has a supply of furniture,
beds, blankets and sheets !; he never wants for
music, with so many excellent Hdapers in the
profession Finally, like the Clergyman, he
sees his most perfect forms, after he has COR
rscted all errors, carried of, and their beauti-
full faces covered wiA clay.

A CHARACTERISTIC NOTE FROM Gov.
BRowNLow.-The following is published in
the last issue of Gov. Brownlow's paper, the
Knoxville Wing:
To WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN The vindic-
tive rebels and their apostate Union co-wor-
kers, are asserting from one end of the State
to the other that am dying, or will die
telling the truth, but intending to make
the false impression that 1 am now in the
act of departing this life. With those who
are trumpeting this news abroad, the wish is
father to the thought. Like my political
enemies, and my friends, and all. other hu-
man beings, I am dying, and will certainly
die sooner or later. With US all, it is only a
question of time. My health, though indif-
ferent, through Gods mercy, is now as good
as it has been at any time in the last twelve
months. Ieat three hearty meals each day
II sleep well at night asleep or awake,
l have good conscience, and the pleasing
prospect before me of obtaining the largest
majority in the race for Governor, that any
man has obtained in the State for the last
thirty years. W. G.. BROWNLoW.

ing to intimidate Union men, and thereby
irving to keep them from doing their whole
duty, and are throwing obstacles in the way
of the colored people when they are trying

objects of abuse and ritlicule by the seces-

they think, the ignorant nigger, and we want
no more of their tyrannical rule over us.
9. That we shall not support any man tor

carry out the principles Of the Union party.
and who we believe will not at all times and
every time in the exercise Of the functions OF
his Office do justice to all his Union friends
without partiality or respect to color, as we
are now one politically and one before the

A NOVEL ELEcTIoN.-The Easton
(Md.) Star gives an account of q large
pic mic held in grove near Trappe, in
that county, on the 4th of July and
adds:
The great feature of the day was an
election at ten cents vote, to deter
mine the prettiest and most popular lady
of the district, to whom a splendid fruit
cake was awarded, the proceeds of the
election to go to the Trappe Band.
Over $500 votes were cast, thus nett
ing the band about $500. The princi-
pal candidates were Miss WEIGH, Miss
Caulk and Miss Orendorf. Up to
within a minute of closing the polls,
Miss Caulk was several votes ahead,
and her admirers were confident of
success but friend of Miss Welch
kept his ballot back to the last, paid
500, and gave her 1000 votes, which
secured her victory by some 900 plu-
rality, amid the plaudits of her friends.
This is a novel way of Determining
the prettiest girl in neighborhood.

It may be the destiny of your race to
carry back to the unknown tributaries
of the Nile the amenities ola civiliza-
ton better than that which tolerated
the barbarism of the bandits who tore
your fathers from their country, and
bartered them for gold. Itseems that nei-
Their servitude nor freedom, neither cru
city or wrong, war or want, time or
separation, have any more changed the
clements of your oriental character,
than the climate of the temperate zone
has altered the native hue of your At
rican complexion. To-day, the colored
race of the South are the same confid-
ing, faithful, and contented people that
would rather bear than resist, that
would rather trust and wait, than to
hasten and compel. Your patience and
faith have been rewarded. Still have
patience, never waver in the faith that
the same gracious Providence that has
borne youharmless and in triumph out
of bondage, will, in good time, lead you
to the promised land of regeneration
cloud cheers.
Political events are near at hand In
which, for the first time, you will exer-
else the high privilege Of American cit
liens. You must try to discriminate
well and choose wisely between the
good and the bad examples you see.
Remember that in politics, as in all
things, an even temper and a respectful
demeanor towards our adversaries de-
tract nothing from the ardor of our con-
victions, nor from the tenacity with
which we press our purposes equan-
unity and courtesy always tribute to
the success of our undertakings.
Do you remember Abraham Lincoln ?
(Cries of "Yes," "Yes.'9 Will you
ever forget him? Loud shouts of
"No," /" No." "No, never, never.")-
You must not cease to cherish and
heed the teachings of that genial nature,
those simple methods, the noble heart,
and the guileless example of your gift
ed and lamented champion. Let us all
remember and believe the last words of
his last address to the people he loved
and served so well and for whom his
almost sacred life was sacrifice. He
said: "The time will come when the
mystic cords of memory, stretching
from every battlefield, and every patri-
OF grave, to every living heart and
hearthstone, touched again as they will
surely be, by the better angels Of our
nature, shall swell the chorus of the
Union throughout the land" Great
applause.)

If the Mexican chieftans wish to inspire
their countrymen with the hatred to foreign
ers and foreign domination they profess
themselves, we will suggest to them how to
do it. Let them govern Mexico better than
the foreigners did, while the Imperialist
yoke was there. Let them continue the in
ternal Improvements which Macmillan be-
gan; refrain from the forced loans which he
condemned; clear the public roads of rob-
bers, as he did; frown on the sudden seizure
for conscriptions, to which the people of
Mexico used to be subjected, as they went
about the streets on their daily business. It
is not by high carnival of butchery, and a
cry of " woe to the conquered, }" that hostility
to foreigners can be aroused, and patriotic
fervor sustained. Instead of crying shoot
him! what to me are foreigners ~ let Juar-
ez govern more moderately and humanely
than Macmillan. Let Escobedo, instead of
emuiating Danton or Marat, alleviate the
wretchedness of the rank and file of his ar
my, or, in civil life, push on the halffnished
web of railroads and telegraphs which ought
to cover Mexico. Here is the way in which
to show the people of Mexico that they have
no need of foreigners - "A

that it can do nothing which will have the

useful purpose, are reasons which should be
conclusive with intelligent and patriotic men,
