never experienced the divine afiiatus
that comes with love, thus talks Of
sleighing;

A female writer-not a 'strong-

on a prevailing gontleman's fashion.
OF course, she knows whereof she
speaks;
"The press has never been remiss
in deprecating the follies Of the female
sex, upon occasion, in style Of female
apparel, but il is noticeable fact that
the popiniay style of breeches now in
vogue. more ridiculous than anything

Female loveliness is such that IL can

A WIDow's REsPoNsE-The wife of
a soldier who died at Andersonville is
postmistress in Adams county, Pa,
and was called upon to give eight dol
lars toward electing Grant She re-
piled that her husband died for want
Of medicines which Gen Grant refused
to allow TO 60 through the Union lines
TO Andersonville, aud she could not
give money to elevate the man whose
neglect caused her husbands death.
There was more truth than poetry in
