Honorable Courasl,ip,

We heard o very pretty incident tho other
day, which we cannot help relating, A
young lady from the South, il seems, was
wooed and won by youthful physician liv.
ing in California. When the engagemen,
was made the doctor was rich, having been
successful at San Francisco. Il had not cx-
isied six months, however, when by an un.
fortunate investment he lost his entire
heap" The event came upon him il should
be added, just as he was about TO claim his
bride. What does he do? Why, like hon.
Orable aud chiValrous young fellow a. he is,
be sits down and writes the young lady every
particular Of the unhappy turn which had
taken place in his fortunes, assuring her tha,
if the fact produced any change in her feel.
ings towards him, she was released from cy.
cry promise she had made him. And wha,
does she, dear. good girl? Why she takes
lump Bf pure gold, which her lover had sent
her in his prosperity a. keepsake, and hay.
ing it manufactured into a ring. forwards IL to
him, with the following Bible inscription en-
grayed in distinct characters on the outside
"Entreat me not 10 leave thee, or to return
from following after thee; for whittier thou
goest ] will go, and whittier thou lodgest
viii lodge thy people shall be my people.
and thy God my God where thou diest
will die, and there will he buried the Lord
do 50 to me, and more also, IL aught bnt death
death part me and thee. !" The lover idolized
his sweetheart more than ever, when he re,
ceiyed this PRECIOUS evidence Of her devotion
10 him both IN and sunshine. We may add
that fortune soon again smilted upon the
young physician, and that he subsequently
retarned 70 the north TO wed the sweet girl
he loved, and who loved him with such an
nndying affection. Young ladies who read
the Bible, as the heroine of this incident
seems to have done, arc pretty sure 70 make
good sEeathearts and better wives. So Louis,

MIXING BABIEs.-The Alliance (0hio)
Monitor tells the following good one:
Some days ago there was party given
for the benefit Of the Fenians, on the out
skirts of town, and several of the ladies
present had little babies, whose noisy
perversity required too much attention to
allow their mas to enjoy the chop" A
number of gallant young men volunteeFed
to guard tho infantry while tho ladies on
gagged in the "break down." No sooner
had the mothersleft the cherubs with the
mischievous wretches, than they stripped
the darlings, changed their clothes, giving
the apparel of one to another. The dance
over, the mothers each took as she thought
her own baby, and hurriedly left the scene
Of gaities and started to their homes, sever
al miles apart, being far on the way be-
fore the "peep O day" The following
day there was a tremendous row in the
settlement Mothers discovered that a
single night had changed the sex Of their
babics-and then commenced some of the
tallest female pedestrianism Living six
miles apart, it requires two days to unmix
the little cherubs, and will require as many
weeks to restore the mothers to their nat
ural sweet dispositions.

ACCORDING to the Washington CORE
spondent of the Boston Courier, Butler is
more prosecuted out of the House than IN
it. All sorts of jokes respecting him are
scribbled on the walls Of hotels and pub
lie buildings. He boarded 1T the Kirk
wood House. and when that establishment
was closed by the landlords creditors, q
story was started that it was shut up be-
cause one of the boarders had stolen all the
spoons. After week of horribly rainy
weather, somebody wrote on the wall at
Willard Hotel: "What makes clouds SO
black this week? Answer Because But
Ter has stolen their silver Innings"
