knees. It's ridiculous, besides be-
ing rough on trowsers. Just take
her hand and speak out like man.
/ behaved similarly to this to a
female, and said to her:
"Will you be mine ?"
She replied rather abruptly
mot much, | won't - a.
It's likely she would have been a
little timid, but I did not care about
pursuing the subject any farther.
Seventh.-When you are engaged
don't 60 off like an old jackass, and
begin buying teaspoons, and wash
boilers, and candies. It's very I'M
wise, and excites comment. ,.
Why, I recollect, / was once so
glad I went right off and purchased
a baby-jumper and a gum ring. 1t
was long while ere those things
were necessary, and the baby-jump-
er had shrunk so that when we
put the first of the little Quilts into
it, it suddenly jerked up, and came
frightfully near battering the devo-
ted child's brains out against the
ceiling, while the gum ring which
had been kept in a box with cock
roach poison, threw the baby into
fits, and he-it was boy-had
spasms in the crib for four days.
Eighth.-If girl refuses you
don't give it up, but try again. Be-
cause two negatives make one affir-
NATIVE in grammar, don't consider
yourself accepted when a girl jilts
you twice.
[ asked one female forty-one
times, and last she expected it when
ever I came, and would sometimes
boiler out "No /" from the top of
the stairs, before I got fairly into
the house. This is unusual, let me
here remark. '.'
Ninth.-Kiss all the children in
the house, even if they are dirty,
and smear molasses candy in your
hair. Let the boy play horse with
you, and make fool Of you gener-
ally. This always works. It's a
trump if you play it right.
Tenth.-And, finally, if there are
two sisters, and the older one is
jealous, get some one to choke her
off, while you go in for the younger.
l did that once, and used to get a
friend to ask the senior out for the
evening, but she very soon found
me out, and used to arrange her
hair pins in the sofa cushions before
she went out, so that it was ex-
tremely uncomfortable. u
Thus it will be seen that when
courtship is alluded to, I am right
there. If any further information
is wanted, send me letter enclos-
ing a stamp fifty cents) and I will
cheerfully give it gratis.

Rules for Counting

The following good advice on the
above subject is from the pen of
John Quill, who seems to have had
rather blissful experience in such
matters s.... ..-E.as
Having had much experience in
the science of counting, / have de-
termined herewith to lay down some
definite rules for the guidance of my
young friends. You see I had a
good many unsuccessful courts be-
fore | met my wife-the females
whom I loved having gone emphat-
ically back on me. But, bless you,
did it harm me ?? No, it didn't. [
was benefited thereby, and when I
met my wife I knew the ropes, and
gathered up my affections, made
one fell swoop on Sallie's heart, and
the door thereof banged wide open
and let me in. I will give you the
rules and shed the sunny light of il
lustration upon them from my own
life.
irst.-Never go counting the
girls parents. You'd better edge
up to the charmer at once, for you
can't marry her if you don't try,
unless she wants you, and you may
be able to, even if the old folks are
hard on you. ...@ " re-
This is the policy / pursued my
self in my last unsuccessful at
tempt. .,.,.','-s ..... .........
Second By all means get the
girls ma down on you as much as
possible. If the old lady is always
blowing against you, the dear little
one begins to take your part, and
can't help loving you.
/ did this way, and my present
mother-in-law used to throw brooms
and washboards at me, and teach
the dog to bite me in the trowsers
as | climbed over the fence.
Third.-If you see any others
prowling about, euchre them if you
can. If you see one of them buy
tickets fer the opera, go up and
make an engagement with the girl,
and then get your ticket afterwards;
but, when they visit the house, al
ways act as if you were at home
and they were only visitors, and
never leave first.
1 always did this, and have fire.
q uently sat until daybreak, while
the fair one snored away on the
sofa- You can't bluff me. No, sir +;
ha ha ! guess not; l would
have been there yet if the fellow had
stayed
Four'th.-If the old man has
worldly wealth, express dislike to
greenba cks, and hankering after
love in a small house.
Fifth-H you are long in the par
lor, you may sometimes try if your
arrns fit well on her waist.
Itried this once and called forth
a piercing scream, which induced
her heavy father and two brothers
to chuck, me down the front stairs.

The impeachment Court.

The senate, on Tuesday, after prolonged
secret session. invested the presiding officer
in the impeachment trial with judicial pow
ers to some extent. The question was brought
up in this wise Mr.. Stanberry had object
el to certain evidence offered by Gen Butler
The Chief Justice decided against the oIjec-
ti,n and in favor of zen. Butler when SEN
Tor Drake took exception, not to the deris-
ion. bat to the right of the Chief Justice to
make it. He insisted that all questions must
be put to the Senate without any decis on by
the Chief Justice.
Tie Chief Justice thereupon ruled that it
wa- the duty Of the chair to decide all ques-
tilus Of law and evidence, hut that any Sena-
tor might call for a vote, in the nature Of an
appeal. Gen. Butler, Mr. Bingham, and Mr..
Bouwtell, strongly opposed this position of the
Chief Justice On a motion that the Senate
retire for consultation, the vote was tie, 25
to p, when the Chief Justice, for the first
time, threw a casting vote, in the affirmative :;
and tie Senate retired. \ statement Of the
proceedings in secret session is published,
from which it appears that Mr. Sumner Of
fered proposition that the Chief Justice is
not member Of the Senate, and has no au-
thority to vote on any question during the
trial This was voted down. - to 25. the
the democrats and conservatives, with Messrs.
Fe>sendcn, Sherman, the Vermont Senators.
and others, voting no.
Mr.. Drake offered a rule that the Chief
Justice has no privilege Of ruling questions Of
law, which was lost, 26 to 80.
Mr.. Sherman then submitted the following,
which was rejected by a vote of p to 25:-
- That in accordance with the precedents in
the United States, in cases of impeachment, all
questions, other than those of order, should be
submitted to the Senate finally
The Senators finally agreed to Mr. Hender-
sons amendment to the seventh rule, to the
effect that the presiding officer upon the trial,
shall direct all the forms Of proceedings, not
otherwise specially provided for; and the pre-
siding officer on the trial may rule on all ques
tons of evidence and incidental questions.
which ruling shall stand as the Judgment of
the Senate, unless some member Of the Sen
ate shall ask that formal vote he taken
thereon, IN which case it shall be submitted
to the Senate for decision or he may at his
option, in the first instance, submit any such
question to a vote Of the members of the Sen
ate.
The vote on this stood 81 yeas-12 Demo
Gratis and 10 republicans-to 10 nays all Re
publicans The rule is now Just in the shane
in which it was originally drawn by Senator
Edmunds The Senate also decided bv a
vote of q to 81, that the Chief Justice shall
have the casting vote.
The resul: has occasioned considerable
comment and some feeling. Gen. Butler. it
is stated, drew up an elaborate protest, which
however, the managers decided not to preeent
