A sensible Love Letter.

The following love letter was read 10
some court in France, not long since,
pending trial:
Mademoiselle--I was q saying of the
celebrated Frenchman, Juan jacques
Rousseau, whose name you very likely
cannot 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.
Now, with all due Difference to Rous-
seau's telents i'll other respects, may
say / do not believe this saying to be
true, and / shall eDdeavor to write in
opposition to it. / mean about what I
write TO you. Mary, that / may guard
against poisoning your mind with fiat
terry, or saying anything that may Of
fend you. | wish you to understand
that what say / mean; that ] neither
write for writings sake nor to please my
fancy. L have, l hope, q 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 q pure and tender tale of love. /
entreat you to consider it as symbol
of the honestness and truthfulness OF
the writer, as q proof OF his affection for
you, and as bond which shall unite us
forever. Know then that from the mo-
ment first beheld you 1 have felt q
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. ~

agreeable as every one knows. It is
not possible that / can know what other
qualities you possess, but l should wish
you to have q good knowledge Of house,

outrage IN Cincinnati Induction Of
Two Young Women.

From the Cincinnati Times of Jan. 27th]
Yesterday two young ladies--cousirs
named Mary Thomson and Mary
Schmidt, each about eighteen yearssOf
age, came to this city from Oldenburg,
Indiana, in search Unemployment. Al
her wandering aronnd the streets until
about dark, and being Germans, en-
tirely unacquainted with any person
here, they asked a genteelly dressed
young man if he could inform them
where they could get aDy work to do.
After questioning them as to where
they came from, and 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 wonld only go there with him
they would, undoubtedly, get good
places.
Only too happy at their apparent
fortune 10 40 soon finding shelter, they
gladly consented to go, pAd the trio
started off up Sycamore street as. far as
Price, and 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 tho first street
leading to the left. This they did, and
had arrived at the corner Of Rihggold
and Price streets, when they were sud-
denly pounoed upon by six or seven
men, who gagged them to prevent any
outcry. i.-.,q ..rtt.s ~
The larger girl, Mary Thomson,
being very powerfully built, managed,
alter a 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 we'll 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.
tlemep were on the ground, well armed,
but not in time, rs the scOuudrels had
fed, taking the poor girl with them,
and it is feared that the monsters, to
hide any evidence of their 6endish
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. aaeil

The bon. John Morrisaey has won
golden opinions since hia accession to
the House, from the qnietness and un-
obtrusiyeness Of his department, and
the urbAaity 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
Abe Toledo member is not good.
He said, on a recent occasion, in a
confidential way, that he didn'tsee how
a man with Ashley's record OF early life
could have the imp1dence to sit in
Congress; and there are few whowill
question the wisdom of that remark, or
doubt its pertinence. One OF the best
intellectual and moral treats q man can
enjoy in Washington is to get the
Hon. Mr.. Morrissey to turn on the
stop-cock OF unrestrained converse.
and tell the secrets of his 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. 1
heard him tell that thrilling story once,
and shall never forget how he shoulder
ed his fists and showed how fights were
won. "Golly, how / did tremble when

| seFlo Comic Romanee N R;ea9 Lie.
The Sd, Louis Democrat Of the Gath
has the following; St
Bfief mention vas made few days
ago Of the arrest Of q young man NAM
ed Van Aukin, charged with stealing
twelve hundred dollars from Mrs. Pace.
rich widow from North Newburg,
Mich. II is alleged that while the lady
was Numbering in q sleeping car on
the way from Chicago TO st. Louis, the
affectioDate young man inserted his
hand under the pillow and intosher
bosom, and took therefrom the sum Of
twelve hundred dollars; that at the
time OF the larceny he was under a
promise TO marry the widow on the. ar
rival in st. Louis, but that he failed
both to fulfill his promise and tore
store the cash. .os ~ wee gi5 f-' 't1y-
Van Aukins who is q well-grown
young man, or rather ''big boy Of
twenty-one, gives 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 cqVqlier
serpeute- frequently travelling with her,
and often receiving money from her, -
He does not deny that he allowed her
to believe that he intendedtc make her
his wife aud himself the step father OF
her four children, but says that was q
step fartherthan he really meant TO 60.
The loving couple recently started for
Omaha, where the calculation was that
they should be united. At Detroit she
gave him $420, portion Of which he
spent the road, and but 500 re-
mained on their arrival at st. Lonis. =
He thinks that the whole amount he
ever received from the widow was
about 81, 200. The interesting pair put
up at the Southern Hotel and remained
all night. t,
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 q family, stepped upon
terra firma and left her to go upon her
Journey alone. He obtained employ
ment at J. Il. .Cozzen's Il Co.'S, but re-
ceiying letter Of warning from his
father, returned home in day or two
AT his fathers house, while playing q
game of euchre, an officer stepped in
and arrested him, and here he is. The
lady returned from st. Joseph, in com
pany with husband, whom she man
aged to pick up in that locality, and
1.-The parties are all in the city. OF
course nothing can be done with the
young man in 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 triAed with her affections.

be made OF tights and simple girdle.
All we're forced to remark the extraor-
binary audacity OF this walking piece
from the ballet Of the Porte Saint
Martin A frantic shout saluted the
foolish girl, q crowd rushed towards
her, the next moment she was lifted
from her feet above the heads OF a
pandemonium of shouting masks, and
passed, amid clamors, from hand to
hand all the time held aloft, each mo-
ment in a new group Of hands, held
like frightened and shivering bird
over the foaming waves of an an
gry sea. Her hair loosened, pass
ed on and on, torn, half nude, the
unhappy and frightened girl wept,
cried, implored. Frenzied and frivol-
ous brutes carried her in triumph, a
victim, new sensation; in q fury OF
excitement, half derision, half anger,
half admiration, she disappeared at last
at one side, her cries drowned in the
noise Of the crowd. ,.u.

precipitated itself toward him, aud

speak; they would not hear him. He
was compelled to go out from the ball.

thirty feet high, and about twenty-five
feet in diameter. The entranee ia

to admit man, aud at an elevation OF
eight feet from the ground. Il is
reached by ladder, which is drawn up
at night, and all ingress is barred by
an iron door. There is q deep base

One twelve-pounder 10 mounted, and
in some cases q twenty-fOur-pounder,

accommodate garrison of eighteen
men, aud are always supplied with a
large store OF fixed ammunition, grape.
shot, cutlasses, rifles and other small
arms. The name OF these towers is de-
rived from the engineer who invented
them, and they are occupied bymem-
bers Of the artillery corps, and not by
coast guards. The were designed to
resist the landing Of men in boats, for
