Amorous but Unsuccessful.

On Sunday evening last, young man whom,
for the sake of convenience we call John, went
to visit the girl whom he would call his own
The fair one resides near the canal. During
the evening the young man OF the name OF
John was unable to conceal the wish Of his
heart, and in tender accents declared his desire
that the young lady should consent to be his.
He met with fiat refusal The ardent John
still pressed her farther, declaring that, if she
would not accept him, he would then and there
drown himself in the briny waters of the canal
AS this threat did not affect the desired pur-
pose, he proceeded to carry it out. He plunged
fearlessy in the murky flood, and waded out
until the chilly air reached over his shoulders
1t will be remembered that the evening on
which this occurred was none of the warmest
Retreating before finally carrying out his pur-
pose, John cried out shivering with the cold
'Ww-will you marry me now? p
'Nor'
In he plunged again, this time until the wa
ter reached his neck, and again he halted be-
fore the last plunge.
"Wwwill you marry me now?'
+ MOI
Again he went, In, this time going fairly un-
der water, so far that only the top Of his head
could be discovered above the surface. But he
emerged and staggered out of the canal, and
shivering worse than ever, sputtered out
"N-n-now w-w-Will you m-marry me p ......
"No!''
''Well, l d-don't care d-damn whether
you II marry me or not You won't get me
into that canal again'
Nor did he again essay his fortunes in the
uncertain deep. Shiyering and chattering with
his teeth, he quietly departed, and returning
to his home sadder, and, let US hope, wiser
man.

An Indignant Woman.

Some 'horrid wretch having ventured on
the opinion that "a woman who loves unsought,
deserves the scorn Of the man she loves, is
shot dead by the following from lady cores
Heaven forgive me but may the man who
penned that never see another bonnet! May
no white dimpled arms ever encircle his era
vat, or buttons vegetate his shirt. May no rosy
lips ever press his moustache and the fates
grant that his dicky strings break short off ev-
cry morning. May no woman's heart ever
learn to beat faster at the mention of his name
and may his stockings always need darling.
And when his nerves are unstrung by dis
ease, and his head throbs with pain, as though
an earthquake were brewing in it, may he have
nothing in his sick chamber but boot heels and
see not one inch of muslin or crinoline
Give her love unasked? D, with true
hearted man this would, methinks, be the
reason Of reasons why he should love her. She
gives to him her whole heart, for in those things
woman does not work by halves; not from
gratitude because he loves her; and from pity
or charity, because he has begged it of her !;
but because-because dear me it will take
more of philosopher than [ an to account for
the undeniable fact that women do sometimes
love the horrid creatures called men,.

GONE (!

Gone, gone, are the days Of my childhood
And gone is that youthful band
Which wandered with me through the wildwood
When life was all hopeful and young
Their voices are gone from the playground,
Their faces see there no more,
But the school-house is standing as brown,
And the creek rolls on as before
Gone! are the feet which traversed its shore.
And swung on the trelsing vine;
Its time-worn banks shall echo no more
Their footsteps, bent hither with mine;
Gone are the feet which sought the woods thro
In search of each berry and grape
Needless of time, how swiftly it flew
How often we rambled too late.
And I smile as L m thinking it O er-
When returning with nuts and haws,
How the master would come to the door,
And scold us for breaking his laws.
Gone is the schoolgirls laughing face
Those childish sports forever yer
And those l meet in womanly grace
TAey-are those little girls no more
Gone! is the schoolboy's shout at play
In answer to his comrades call;
With the men of earth he stands to-day
/ He's laid by his paddle and ball.
Those who are left of that broken band
All those who were spared through the war,
Are scattered here and there through this land,
And others wandering affair."
True, voices still ring through that forest,
And their shout is Of childish glee,
But alas tell you they are not
The children that played there with me.
For gone are the days Of my childhood,
And gone is that youthful throng
Which wandered with me through the wildwood,
When we were all children quite young.

Tile Drains-Eo. 8.

AliS LII diAS " ..
Finding that the freights by Railroad lines
completely prevented the importation Of the
ready made tile from the Factories In New
Jersey, my attention was called to a substitute,
which should be under the control of every
farmer Some years ago, when Superinten-
dent Of the University of Va, | required
drains of a cheap character, and had made at
our own brick yard, lot of grooved or gutter
brick, which, when covered by the same article
reverted, gave me a perfectly circular pipe drain
inches in diameter. The same article when
covered with slate gave a semi-crcular drain OF
that diameter, ofhalf the capacity. AS these
articles answered the purpose at that time, L
wrote to the distinguished Drainage Engineer,
COL Waring for his opinion. His answer was:
''If your gutter bricks are made true they will
answer a good purpose, but OF course the slate
covering should be strong enough to bear the
pressure of the earth | have ascertalned
that gutter brick II inches long can be made
on the farms for S.. 80 per thousand, clay and
wood being furnished so that the actual cost Of
3 inch drain will be $lI per thousand feet,
and the half size equivalent to two inch drain
will cost say including the rough slate covering
$6 so per thousand feet The factory prices
for these being severally $45 and $35 for the
best, to which add so per cent for transporta
ton, and at these high prices there is such a
demand for the article that it would probably
be some months before enough could be OBJ
tained to make fair trial. Those who desire
to do this should Immediately contract for the
necessary bricks and have the trenches dug, so
as to be ready for corn planting on the i'm
proved land. AS it is not profitable to burn less
than 80 thousand, we recommend our friends
to have $4,000 common and $4,000 gutter
bricks burnt together, so that they may have
both kinds as they require them. ~

An Incident of the War.

In an article in the New York Weekly, en-
titled "Scenes at the Gallows," among heroic
deaths upon the scafold, is mentioned that of
Capt John Yates Beall, of Jefferson county,
Va, Confederate naval officer, who was
hanged in 1864 upon Governors Island upon
| some charge preferred against him. The wri-
ter says of that gallant and unfortunate gentle
man:
I ''In my own experience, he was the noblest
criminal every found worthy of death.
Between his place of confinement and the
scaffold, was distance of several rods, which
he was compelled to walk, between guards, and
the executioner by his. side.
''The gallows was situated on a green knoll,
commanding lookout over the bay to the
southwest, and was surrounded by select
throng of invited guests Of perhaps one hun
dred and fifty.
Beall marched over the green hillocks, very
pale, but perfectly self possessed. The omi-
NOUS black cap was On his head, and its long
tassels swayed in the fresh morning breeze that
breathed gently from the sea- His step was
firm and steady, and upon arriving at the edge
of the scafold, he gazed at the dread instru-
ment of death without the least exhibition of
emotion-no matter what wild thoughts may
have made theatre of his breast. 1t was
beautiful day. The ground upon which he
stood, and the Islands surrounding it were
fresh and green with the first kiss of early
spring Manhattan Island, with its steeples
and towers, cleaned in the distance; and the
bright, blue waters Of the bay were leaping in
the glad morning sunlight.
Livery object invited the privilege of exis-
tence, and rebuked the very idea of death. !"
But by no expression of the doomed mans
face could be detected the slightest emotion
He submitted to the long and tedious reading
of his sentence without impatience, and made
the few remarks in palliation of his crime which
have been recorded in all our daily press; but
just before the black cap was drawn over his
face-Heaven what an inGnitude of love and
beauty it shats out at such an hour, |, who
stood nearest to him. with the exception ofthe
hangman-I, alone heard him utter the words:
l am coming to you quickly, Alice; do not
think [ am afraid
1.-THE tone of his voice was low and steady,
and the next instant he was launched into
eternity but there was something brave and
simple in those last words, the memory of
which has never ceased to haunt ME.
