PresidcntL Lincoln and Gov.
lR80aasA Seymour.

After one Of the Presidents procla-
nations calling for more men had been
apportioned among the different States
Gov. Seymour went TO Washington to
urge upon Mr. Lincoln the reduction
of the quota of New York. Early In
the day, after his arrival, he sent In
his card, but the President surmised
his errand, and the day wore away
while he gave audience to other cali
ers. At 8 o'clock he ordered the Office
door to be thrown open, and the wait
ing throng adWitted. As they came
in, completely filling the room, Mr..
Lincoln said 81 will first see Cover
nor Seymour, of New York. Mr..
Seymour, went forward and took q seat
near the President, and In q low tone
stated hts errand. Mr.. Lincoln sat In
silence till he had concluded, then,
ralsing his voice so ias to be heard by all
present, he replied: "When, the other
Governors Of States come here, they
come to ask what they can do to help
hold up my hands; but you come and
ask me to release you from doing what
others do cheerfnlly and with alacri
ty.p Then, taking up card before
him, he turned and said: ~ will see
Mr.. -- next" thus terminated the
Interview.

Manners.

I make II point Of morality never

ners. They may be awkward or grace
ful, blunt or polite, polished or rustic,
l care not what they are with, IL the
man means well and acts from honest
intentions, without eccentricity or af-
fectation. All men have not the ad-
vantages OF good society,n ~ it is
called, to school themselves In all It's
fantastic rules and ceremonies, and IL
there is any standard Of manners, II 10
founded on reason and good sense, and
not upon these artificial regulations.
Manners, like conversation, should be
extemporapeous and not studied. i
always suspect man that meets me
with the eame perpetual smile on his
face, the sams bending Of the body and
the same premsditAted shake OF the

Marriage.


The following are the opinions Of

Of marriage: "a
Marriage is to a woman a state Of
slayery-it takes from her her own
properly, and makes her submissive

Marriage is state OF sla veryl Aye

worn. Marriage Is the sanctifier OF
love--an institntion which acknowl.
edges the right OF woman to be protec.
ted, and the duty Of man to protect
her. The offices of vile and mother
are not those OF slaves. What higher
destiny beneath the skies than To In
struct the infant mind In thoughts Of
purity! What holier mission than to
soothe the turbid torrent Of mans pas
sions by q words look--a smile IL

A friend who has been spending q
year I'm England informs us that the
John Bulls have become much addict
ed to the American game of euchre Of
late, and have made some Improve
ments upon the American game, n de-
scription of which, no doubt, will be
interesting to euehre-players.
s For example, with every pack Of
playing-cards sold there ID one blank
card at the top of the deck, used In
this country frequently as a marker.
But the English make q better iise OF
this white faced card They include IL
In the suits, making fifty three to the
deck instead of fifty-tw0, and to the
euchre deck twenty. nine instead of
twenty EIGHT cards. This blank card
at first was called Louis Napoleon"
but has been subsequent corrupted into
the less euphonious title of "yerker."
The "yerker," then, IL the highest
ranking card In the euchre deck, hav-
ing the capacity to capture eitherof the
blowers" or the ace, 30 that q man
may be euchred with even the ace aud
two s.bowers.n Whenever the ''yerk-
err 10 turned up by the dealer, that per-
son has the privilege of making the

advantageous suit in his "hand." The

-Four years ago, when the war was at
Its height and the expenses Of the Gov
ernment were enormous, tremsndOus
effort was made In several large cities
to Introduce habits Of economy among
the people, and especially among the
ladies. II was up hin work, and was
soon given up altogether, for, though
az penses were great and living dear,
money was plenty and the opportuni-
ties for earning 'it abundant. Now,
however. large proposition Of the peoI
pie are learning habits Of economy with
out the efforts Of socities. leagues or
popular meetings. The hardness Of the
times, the nu1iness or business, the
scarcity Of employ ment and the DIM
Guilty Of making money are giving les-
sons Of economy In quarters where
heretofore they have never been learn
ed, and Are giving harder lessons still
10 many who dhave always been COM
pelled to practice it. The severity of
the present winter II felt with uncom-
