The following love letter was read il
some court in France. not long since
pending trial:
Mademoiselle-It was a saying of the
celebrated Frenchman, Juan Jacques
Rousseau, whose name you very likely
caunot pronounce, that to write a good
love letter, you ought to begin without
knowing what you mean to say, and
finish without knowing what You have
written. r9a Hi
Now, with all due Difference to Rous-
seau's telents In other respects, / may
say i do not believe this saying to be
true, and I shall endeavor to write In
opposition to it. / mean about what /
write to you. Mary, that / may guard
against poisoning yonr mind with fat
terry, or saying anything that may of
fend you. / wish You TO understand
that what say / mean; that j neither
write for writings sake nor to please my
fancy. L have, / hope, higher aim
and more honest aud more noble in
tention. / need not blush TO own that
my only object is to whisper in your
ear a pure and tender tale of love.
entreat you to &C nsider ii as a symbol
OF the honestness aud truthfulness OF
the writer, as proof of his affection for
you, and as bond which shall unite us
forever. Know then that from the mo-
ment L first beheld you [ have felt a
vely interest IN your welfare,
and your image has frequently
presented itself TO my mind. =
This will account for what passed
between us ON Sunday evening. II
have loved you for your beauty, but
not III hope) for that alone. Beauty
is but skin Deep" although il is very
agreeable as every one knows. It is
not possible that can know what other
qualities you possess, but should wish
you to have good knowledge of house
hold matters. You may depend upon
it that therB is good deal of domestic
happiness in a well-dressed mutton
chop or tidy beefsteak for breakfast.
The woman who can cook contributes
more to the happiness of society than
the twenty who can not cook.

Outrage In Abduction OF
Two Y0ung Women.

From the Cincinnati Times of Jan. 9th. ]
Yesterday two young ladies--cousins
named Mary Thomson and Mary
Schmidt, each about eighteen years OF
age, came to this city from Oldenburg,
Indiana, in search of employment. At
ter wandering around the streets until
about dark, and being Germans, en-
tirely unacquainted with any person
here, they asked a genteelIy dressed
young man if he could inform them
where they could get any work to do.
After questioning them as to where
they came from, aud if they had friends
here, and learning they had not, he
said that his aunt, who lived on the
hillside, needed help very much, and
If they would only go there with him
they. would, undoubtedly, get good
places.
Only too happy at their apparent
fortune in so soon finding shelter, they
gladly consented to go, and the trio
started off mp Sycamore street as far as
Price. aud then up the latter. When
the party had arrived on the hillside,
the man said he would run ahead and
inform his aunt that the young girls
we're coming, and that they must fol
low right on and take the first street
leading to the left. This they did, and
had arrived at the corner of Ringgold
and Price streets, when they We're sud
denly pounced upon by six or seven
men, who gagged them to prevent any
cutlery.
The larger girl, Mary Thomson,
being very powerfully built, managed,
alter desperate struggle, to free her
self from the grasp of the villains who
had hold of her, aud escaped to the
nearest house, where she was well ta-
ken care of and remained all night.
The screams of the other girl were
heard by several persons, and only a
few minutes elapsed when several gen
tlemen were on the ground, well armed,
bat not in time, as the scoundrels had
fed, taking the poor girl with them,
aud il is feared that the monsters, to
hide any evidence of their fiendish
work, have murdered her, and In some
manner disposed of her body. This
morning the girl Thomson left the
house before the officers arrived, and
has not since been seen.

A SerIo .Com,o Romauee In Real Inc.

A SerI0 Como Romance I'm Real Lie.
The st. Louis Democrat of the oath
has the following:
Brief mention was made few days
ago of the arrest of q young man nam
ed Van Aukin, charged with stealing
twelve hundred dollars from Mrs. Pace,
r.eh widow from North Newburg,
Mich. It is alleged that while the lady
was slumbering in q sleeping car on
the way from Chicago to st. Louis the
affiectionate Young man inserted his
hand under the pillow and into heI
bosom, and took therefrom the sum OF
twelve hundred dollars; that at the
time of the larceny he was under o
promise to marry the widow on the ar
rival in St. Louis, but that he failed
both to fulfill his promise and to re-
store the cash.
Van Aukin, who is a well-grown
Young man, or rather a "big boy" OF
twenty-one, gives a somewhat different
version of the affair. He says he was
raised in the same town with Mrs. p,
who is seven years his senior; that for
several years he has been her cdUdter
serUente--frequently travelling with her,
and often receiving money from her.
He does not deny that he allowed her
to believe that he intended t. make her
his wife and himself the step father OF
her four children, but says that was a
step farther than he really meant TO go.
The loving couple recently started for
Omaha, where the calculation was that
they should be united. At Detroit she
gave him $500, a portion of which he
spent n the road, and but 500 re-
manned on their arrival at st. Louis. ~
He thinks that the whole amount he
ever received from the widow was
about 81 900. The interesting pair put
up at the Southern Hotel and remained
all night.
The next day he purchased tickets
for st. Joseph, put the widow on board
the train, and telling her that he had
no idea of assuming the responsibility
of the head of a family, stepped upon
terra ffrma and left her TO go upon her
Journey alone. He obtained employ
ment at j. II. Oozzen's az Co.'S, but re-
ceiyiag letter of warning from his
father, returned home in a day or two.
At his fathers house, while playing a
game of euehre, an officer stepped IN
and arrested him, and here he is. The
lady returned from st. Joseph, in com
pany with a husband, whom she man
aged to pick up in that locality, and
the parties are all in the city. OF
course nothing can be done with the
young man 10 this State, as the alleged
larceny was committed in some other
State, but as the lady has secured a
husband she will not be anxious to
prosecute the big boy who deceived
her and trified with her affections.

The EruntIon Of EesnNins.

Il NAPLES IDS % COr. OF tne LONDON
Vesuvius SO far from diminishing in
its attraction, becomes daily more
menacing and splendid. For several
days after Christmas the tbunders OF
the mountain were so strong as to
break the windows in the neighbor-
hood with the vibration, and the stones
which were elected fell halfway
down the cone. You may conceive,
therefore, what height they attained.
On the 2Sth there was a slight dimuni-
ton In the action of the mountain, and
then the shocks began as violent
as ever; the crater full of lava
boiled like a huge cauldron, while
columns of ashes and crystals of an
f1enO, so says my daily report, were
sent to a great elevation. On Friday
last another crater was formed near tue
Great Gone, and IN the direction of
the Hermitage. Out of this has been
flowing ever since a river of liquid lava,
Offering the most brilliant spectacle.
From the two craters Issue two curved
streams, forming an ellipse, meeting,
of course. at the bottom, and pouring
down towards Resina. At times tie
entire interval between the streams
is filed with the fiery flood, from
the sides of which issue thou
sand little rivulets, appearing IN
the distance like the corruscations of
an aurora borealis. Since the COM
mencemement of the eruption / have
never seen it half so brilliant as it has
been since Friday. Our visitors in.
crease from day to day, attracted by
this wonderful spectacle. Lord and
Lady Clarendon, with their family ar
rived on Thursday night; and Count
Apponyi on Friday. The Duke and
Duchess of Aosta will arrive on the
10Th inst, and great preparations are
being made for their reception. They
remain during the whole of the Car
niYal, in which interval there will be
much gsyety. The United States
squadron is expected here this week.

Washington Correspondence Cincinn
Commercial.


Commercial.
The Hon. John Morrissey has won
golden opinions since his accession to
the House, from the quietness and I'M
obtrusiveness of his department., and
the urbanity of his disposition. He is
said to be one of the most genial OF
men in his intercourse with his fellow
members, is not at all proud, and will
associate even with Ashley on terms OF
equality, though his private opinion OF
the Toledo member is not good.
He said, on recent occasion, IN a
confidential way, that he didn't see how
a man with Ashley's record of early life
could have the impudeDce to SIT IN
Congress; and there are few who will
question the wisdom of that remark, or
doubt its pertinence. One of the best
intellectual and moral treats a man can
enioy in Washington is to get the
Hon, Mr.. MOrrissey to turn on the
stop-cock of unrestrained converse.
and tell the secrets of bis inlnOst heart.
He will do it on very slight provo
cation, and keep you chained to his
interesting discourse for hours at a
time. He delights TO tell of his feats
of prowess in the ring, especially his
memorable match with Heenan.
heard him tell that thrilling story once,
aud shall never forget how he shoulder
ed his fists and showed how fights were
won. "Golly, how did tremble when
/ was coming to the scratch that time.
Heenan was too big for me, and that
morning I'd have given a good
deal to get out of the scrape.
Still, I made up my mind that
as / had put all my money very id

then, thought /, III be id IL don

Hetnan, stripped for the fight 1
thought I'd be whipped, sure-then
again l made up my mind to make hin
work for it. 1 eyed him all over as lac
sat in his corner. Good God, says l TO
myself, / can't do nothing with that
fellow; and then, again, / Thought must.
Well, we came up TO the first round.
Whewl / remember how he did ping

/ don't want to brag of my own pluck,

out of the ring, but if / hadn't been

that first round. After a long tussel
we fell, aud / was NIGHTLY glad of it.
Ii was while we were down this time,
that made up my mind | was going to
whip him. Heenan tried to choke me
while we were on the ground. He got
his hand on my throat this way (suiting
the action to the world. When i felt
him do that, thinks L to myself, Sonny,
I've got you now / thought that a
man who'd do that was a coward, aud
from that time to the end of the fight ]
felt sure of whipping him, and / would
have whipped him, Just as cid, if the
fight had lasted just twice as long as il
did. If Heenan had pluck equal TO his
strength, all hell couldn't whip him
but he hain't, and it's no work at ali to
whip him, if yOu can only stand NJ
under him for the first few minutes"
