A Sensible Girl and How She
Got q Husband.

Some writer tells this story: Twenty
years ago, young man who had paid
attention to bright, sweet girl for
long time without making any thing
that was even second cousin to a pro.
posal, was startled one evening by the
question, "Robert, do you want TO mar
ry me7' He tried to evado the point
by asking why she put such question
to MIN. because, il yeu do not want
to marry me you must stop coming to
see me. No mocking bird around the
red-breast!s nest, you know" Robert
took the hint, and with cool good
night he walked home. What should
ho care for girl so rude as thatf Good
company as hers elsewhere. lie
would join the club next day. He
tried to sleep, but couldn't. He did
not quite like the turn things had ta-
ken. The figure plagued him. Ir he
was a mocking-bird, who was the red>
breast that he was keeping away from
such partner AT any rate, one
thing is certain, Edna is smart and she
is pretty" he said to himself, land
she means business" The next morn
ing Robert went to the countingroom.
1t was long day. Business had drag
ged. Every body was pre-occupied,
hurried, cross. He was glad to 20
home, only it wasn't home. He took
book but found himself trying to
read Goals in the CRATE and figures on
the wall instead OF the page. He threw
hintfsls on the lounge, but ii was
dreadfully dull. He stood II for awhile
and then put on his hat and walked
down TO the Widow Craigie's. lie
stepped up to the door as usual, but
Edna was engaged. He asked to have
her called. IL seemed a month before
she came down. At last she appeared.
lie arose from his seat and met her in
the middle of the room and said, ED.
na, have como here tonight on bust
ness. ] am tired Of being your mock
ing-bird and want TO be your redbreasti
will you be my wifeT when do you
sayf said Edna, sufiused with blushes
"Soon as ] can make nest, Robert
replied. 81 believe both the red.
breasts join in building the nest, said
Edna, "and ] want to do my part.
This was twenty years ago. To-day
one Of the handsomest mansions in
one of our cities is the nest of a welded
pair whose life has been rs sweet as q
birds song, and whose hearts, like
their affections, are Is young as ever
There Is great deal more in putting
little straightforward business at the
beginning oflife than is generally sup
posed,

MRNRY CLAY. ~


In his day 4 was the habit Of the po-
lite world of the capital. dressed in
their gayest, TO repair TO the Senate
Chamber, to listen 10 him whenever
he spoke. Clay was every body's pet.
No man has ever had such saasasicn
since. No man has evory got habltu-
ally such brilliant and splendid audi
ences for his Grating Us he. These
were days Of grand debate, when the
press had not gained so much prestige,
before oratory had giveu way in Con-
gress to the reporters. There were no
holes in the sky then, and you could
not prick an orator, like bubble, with
a witty sarcasm. clay never disap.
pointed. He would not have dared.
But he dared things no other man
then and now would dare. Az the end
OF brilliant passage, he would pause
deliberately and wcllS six steps across
the aisleto Robert j. Walkers snuff
box; and taking pinch gracefully be-
tween his finger and thumb, retusn to
his desk, and put it with ineflable dis
tinction to his nostrils, the whole au-
dience was ready to burst into ap-
plause. With any other man that
would have been ridiculous-Clay
made II sublime.

Mrs. LdvERNoRE, Of Chicago, ono
OF the distinguished Womeu's
Right champions, was really too
bad ut the lat CleveIand s:conven-
ton. She lot cat ont OF the bag

excellent effects which would follow
female su0rago in the promotion Of
the cause OF temperance and tho
election OF sober men TO Office, she
remarked that during the war she
had business with Governor YATES,
the then Repulican Chief Magis-
trate of:Illinois, and now one Of tho
United States Senators. Ho could
not be found at the Governors or
mansion, but a hackHian said he
could find him. lie took her 10 II

give in Mrs. LiveTmoro's own Ian

Tile (the hackninn) wont IN and
found the Governor, but told Mrs
Livermorc that she must 40 IN, for
he could not come ont. She went
in and there, behind the green
screen, that too many persons
might not SEQ him, shO iouDd the
Governor ofthe great State OF Illi-
nois, all IN a heap, dead drunk.
AT another stage she needed the
signature Of another officer at the
seat Of war, and could not find him
be"auso he was of on ono Of his
sprces. AfteFvard we made that
man President olthe United States.
Now, we DO not deny that these
are spicy little incidents; but, thon
is Mrs Livermore justified in tell
ing them when they will surely
hurt tho feelings of tho pure and
virtuous men who voted for Yates
and Grant? Another thing We
would say to tho Lady: II we arr
so unfortunate as to elect drunken

dcnts. why publish tho fact to tho
world?

REPRRsENTATIyR GARFIELD, Of
Ohio, is disposed 10 be far more
self-sacrifclng than was ARTEMUs
during the war. Tho Chairman on
Banks and Currency is willing to
immediate himself for the country's
good. He is reported as declaring
that il the present Congress had
the proper spunk tho Republican
members would say: "Well, wo arc
in power for at least q year and a
half During that time We will
provide for rosuming specie pay
ments, and thus put the business Of
the country on u stable basis. Wo
may not be sent back-propably We
will not-but we will immediate onr-
selves for the country's good. =
Now, there is something heroic in
that but we appiehcnd there arc
few politicians who possess tho
pluck to take such a leap. But,
then. why no: be sent back? Be
cause the resumption ofspecic pay
ments would bring disaster to the
people, who would feel more like
hanging their Congressmen than
-electing them. No doubtful
cause will justify self saeridcci we
therefore advise Congressman GAR
FIELD and hlS specie-resnmption
coadjutors not TO be too rash, or sot
their coulter too deep, for their is a
chance OF their being under tho IN
fluense of defective Judgments.

TnE PREsIOENr's MESSAGE.

Next week, we will lay Grants
Message in full before our readers.
Tho following editorial notice Vf it
appeared in the Cincinnati Enqni.
rer:
The message opens with nm cx-
lraordinary fight of spread.caglc-
ism, which reads though it was
borrowed from some old Fourth of
July Grafton. II Is followed BY
remarks eulogizing tho Recon
structlOn policy Of Congress, which
is the most impudently and enor-
mously false Of anything We have
ever seen asserted id that subject.
His more important suggestions
are oil distinguished by great au.
dacity, and by consumate igno.
rance and disregard of the Cohstl-
tuition. Having a large amount Of
bonds himself, he recommends their
payment, principal and interest, in
gold. Ho recommends a renewal
of the income tax for three years
at three per cent.
Ho virtually proposes to turn
Georgia out Of tho Union after she
has been admitted under the re-
construction laws, because some
negro members were unsealcd in
the Legislature Of that State. He
commenJs the negroes, and de-
clares they are making rapid pro-
gress IN learning.
The currency and taxation ques.
tlon he seeks TO dodge by recon =
mendiDg that they be postponed
until next Congress.
The Tenure of. Office Law, which
was passed for tho puspose Of cha
fing Andrew Johnson, he finds
chafes him, and therefore asks for
its repeal.
This Congress refused 10 do Of
its last session, and IT now remains
to be seen il they will accede to his
request.
He advises the making Of closer
alliances on the part Of the United
States with the Republics on this
Continent. This would bo an ex.
cellent opportunity to become in
volved iE their differences and
guarreIs.
AS TO the Alabnma claims, he
hopes the time may soon arrive
when negotiations may be reopened
with probability Of reaching q
satisfactory result; and, on the
qcestlon of new commercial treR-
ty with Canada, he arrives at the
astounding conclusion that "uo
citizen OF tho United States would
be benefited by reciprocity"
Taking the document us u whole
it is bitterly partisan, and entirely
devoted to che interests of the ne.
gro lovers and The bondholders.

The latest abomination inflicted
upon suffering humanity by Boston
IS new lecturing nuisance, known
among men as the Rev. ROWLAND
CowEN. The strong point Of this
peripatetiC peddIar OF Boston notions
is n contempiious and slanderous
manner of speaking women.--
"When the negro was freed" he
s nd in a recent lecture, sit was a
mattor of surprise to Abolitionists
that he was found 10 be such a no.
torious liar. This is tho case of
women with men. Women are not
as truthful as men. Snoer at it If
you wish, / know that It is true
Lying Is one Of tho weapons Of the
weak against The strong. / have
watched yonng women lie with
clearness and calmness, and a
straighIforwardres impossible in a
young man ofthe same age" A
few faint Kisses greeted the SLAM
derer at this point. but and the
fact shows to how low a grade of
civilization tho Boston mind has
boon educated down--he WINS per.
mitted to finish bis TRADE and de-
part in peace. In the rudsst vii.
lage Of the Far West tho native
chlvalry OF the people would have
secured tho libelous scoundrel a
ducking in tho nearest horse pond.
