sends letters to the Cleveland Leader.
1t Is something better than those in
witch he discusses the political ques-
tions OF the day:
WASHINGTON, April %, 1868.
When Mr.. Johnson showed his friend,
the Adiutant General, through the
'Tcnure-of. Office act, he had little idea
how no was hastening the marriage
ceremony Of the little Bibbapron.-
Bibbapron had fixed his engagement
day for tho first of July, so us to be in
Now York on the Fourth and set off
some e-crackcr% after which he OK
pected TO make good resolutions to
regulate tho family life Mt Saratoga
Springs. But people who arc engaged
arc always impatient. ThoY are left
alono together q good deal, and find
waiting to DO sort of dissipation. 1t
is neither pursuit nor possession, neith-
or fish nor flesh.
1t ID the tendorost, most quarrel.
some, most tantalizcd, most disheart.
ened, most forebodeful period of love.
No wonder that Blbbapron, when he
heard of the "High Court Of Impeach- =
ment,' the solcmnity of tho spectacle,
and the great learning of tho mana
gers and counsel, had but to suggest 30
Molly what o delightful time it would
be TO visit Washington, when she en-
braced himself and the occasion. The
milllncr was hurried up. Ma was per.
suaded that summer was ali unhealthy
season in the East. The little mar
riugo ceremony was not hold in the
church, but in the parlor ut home, and
the clergyman's fee reduced somewhat
in consequence. Bibbapron's pa gave
his son q pttcr to Congressman Starch
and the express train saw the pau
tucked in, the last tear shed, and the
town of Skyuga fade from the presence
of ITS prettiest girl.
