The Stragy Of Lovers.

A good story is told of two Detroi-
ters, who some time since, cultivated
attachments for two wealthy young
ladies who reside in one of our sis
ter cities. The ladies visited this
city a short time since, were taken
to Putin Bay, and subsequently the
gentleman escorted them some dis
tance by rail and steamer, on their
way to the place of their residence.
The Detroiters took roundabout
away and dropped in at Chicago,
where they Immediately entered
upon course of convivality which
would undoubtedly have shocked
the moral sense of their best friends.
They dined, snpped and drink, ,espec-
ally the latter, and while in the
height of their enjoyment, their
merry making was disturbed by the
advent of the brother of the ladies
in question, who had been sent their
by his anxious mother to look after
the lovers before referred to, and
ascertain their habits. Apologies
were in vain. The young man
announced his determination to re-
port at home what he had seen and
for a time the blue prospects of
delighted love fitted across the eyes
Of our gay Detroiers. Finally
they determined upon comp which
settled the whole matter. The unex-
pected visitor was himself enveigled,
made "tight," brought to Detroit,
and then sent home after he had
promised never to reveal
what he had felt or heard. No
cards.

Six Months in the Penitentiary.

Several years ago, young lady
resided in our city, remarkable for
her many varied accomplishments,
fortunate in being surrounded by
friends. and beloved by all who
knew her At that time she had at
tanned the age of nineteen just bud
ding into womanhood, full of bright
promise and expectation.
In an evil hour she was introdu-
ced, became intimate, and, to crown
all, fell irrevocably in love with a
young man, son of a prom inent cit
izen. 1t was no passing friendship,
no feeting fancy, but a true, pure
and trusting affection that would
outlast her life.
Months before this meeting the
Young man had been engaged to a
young lady who at that time was
absent from the city. Thinking no
harm would result and being natur-
ally very fond Of the society OF
laoies, the young man endeavored
to improve the opportunity and en-
joy the society of SO charming a girl
as often as possible. For that pur-
pose he chaperoned her to balls and
parties, leading her,in her ignorance
of his engagement, to think that she
alone was the favored one, and ex
pecting Of course, from his atten-
tions, that he ultimately designed
marriage, she gave the wealth Of her
whole heart in his keeping,
But it could not last. The afiian-
ced bride of ftke yourg man returned
home, and he sought her side, by
his desertion rudely but surely
awakening the girl from her short,
sweet dream of love and happiness.
and throwing dark blight upon her
fresh young life.
From that day she became mo-
rose and melancholy, brooding over
the imagined wrong, till finally she
sought the oblivion afforded by urn.
Soon her parents died, but this
event only seemed to accelerate her
misery. For from that time che
sank lower and lower in the scale Of
humanity. with but now and then a
sober interval, which would be flea
with remorse and repentance. She
sank so low at last that she would
appear on the streets intoxicated
Numerous times was she arrested,
but as often let off with slight SEN
tence. But the thing began to be
too common at last, and, to endeay-
or to reform and lead her back to a
better life, on being brought up
day or two since, she was sentenced
to six months in the Penitentiary.

TWAIN AS A "PoULTRY RAISER. :"
Mark Twain having been elected
an honorary member of Poultry
Society, recommends himself in the
following style:
''Even as a schoolboy, poultry
raising was study with me, and I
may say without egotism that as
early as the age-of seventeen I was
acquainted with all the best and
speediest methods Of raising chick
ems, from raising them off 1oost
by burning lucifer matches under
their noses, down to lifting them
off fence on a frosty night by in
sinuating the end of a warm board
under their heels. By the time l
was twenty years old, I really sup
pose I had raised more poultry than
any one individual in all the sec
ton round about there. The very
chickens came to know my talent
by and by. The very chickens
came to know my talent by and by.
The youth of both sexes ceased to
paw the earth for worms, and old
roosters that came to crow remain
ed to pray when I passed by"

A LOVING WIFE.
By MARK TWAIN.

One of the saddest things that
ever came under my notice (said
the bankers clerk) was there in
Corning during the war. Dan Muir
ply had enlisted rs private, and
fought very bravely. The boys all
liked him. and by and by when
wound weakened him down till car
rying musket was too heavy for
him, they dubbed together and fix
ed him up as sutler. He made
money then and sent it always to
his wife to bank for him. She vas
washer and ironer, and knew
enough by hard experience to keep
money when she got it. She didn t
waste a penny. On the contrary
she began to get miserly. as her
bank account grew. She grieved to
part with cent, poor creature, for
twice in her hard working life she
had known what it was to be hun
cry, cod, friendless, sick, and with
out dollar in the world, and she
had haunting dread of suffering
again.
Well, at last Dan died: and the
boys, in testimony of their esteem
and respect, telegraphed to Mrs.
Murphy to know if she would like
to have him embalmed and sent
home, when you know the custom
was to dump a poor devil like him
into a shallow hole, and then in
form his friends what had become
of him. Mrs. Murphy had jumped
at the conclusion that it would only
cost two or three dollars to embalm
her dead husband, and so she tele-
graphed Yes" 1t was at the wake
that the bill for embalming arrived,
and was presented to the widow.
She uttered wild. sad wall, that
pierced every heart, and said, "Siv-
inty- foive dollars for stoof1n' Dan,
blister their sowls! Did thin divils
suppose l was goin' to start mu-
scum that I'd be dalin' in sich tx
pinsive curiasities
The bankers clerk said there was
not dry eye in the house.

The prompt confirmation of Mr..
Frelinghuysen for onr most impor-
tant diplomatic post, serves to show
in what esteem he was held by those
before whom he has had the best
opp ortunity to prove his abilities.
Few Senators have made a more
favorable impression in a shorter
time then did Mr.. Frelinghuysen /;
and if his service there had been
longer the country would only have
been the more certain to recognize
the fitness Of the appointment the
President has made. Judging him
solely by his record, we should
hardly be justified in rating him the
equal of Mr.; Adams, but certainly
we have had no other Minister in
England for a dozen years past who
can be named before Hmm. Y.

Cure for Sunst roke.

Strip off the clothing from the
head, neck and chest and spray the
patient ON these parts of the hody
gentle, but thoroughly with cold
water; at the same time place the
feet in water as hot as it can be
borne. Meanwhile, let a strong
healthy person rub the legs gen
tly and the back and abdomen, hav-
ing the hands kept cool by occa-
sionally moistening them in cold
water. Let the patient, when he is
able, drink little cold water, and
after he is able to sit up, have his
head packed in clothes kept
constantly cool by wetting them in
water.
As soon as practicable, move the
bowels with tepid injections ofwater
as they are in almost all cases
obstructed with offensive matter
which must be removed.
This treatment can be efectually,
administered by any skillfui
sympathetic person, who knows
when to stop.-Herald of Health.

Smile When Fer You Can

Smile When Fer You Can.
By KATE CAMERON
When things don't go to suit you.
And the world seems up side down,
Don't waste your time in fretting.
But drive away that frown;
Since life is oft perplexinE,
1t is the wisest plan
To bear all trials bravely,
And smile whene'er you Can.
Why should you dread tomorrow
And thus spoil your to-dayt
For when you borrow trouble
You always have to pay.
1t is a good old maxim,
Which should be often preached;
Dent cross the bridge before you
Until the bridge is reached.
You might be spared much signing,
If you would keep in mind
The thought, that good and evil
Are always here combined.
There must be something wanting,
And though you roll in wealth,
You may miss from your casket
That precious jewel-Health!
And tho you're strong and sturdy
You may have an empty purse;
(And earth has many trials
Which consider worseD
But whether joy or sorrow
Fill up your mortal span,
Twill make your pathway brighter
To smile whene'er you canI

THE CUsTOMIHOUsE.
Prescnt COndition or Matter,

Though but little comparatively has been
said concerning the CustOmhouse since its
location on the corner of Vine and Broad
streets, the subject has by no means been
lost sight of by those In whose hands its
supervision has been placed. The deed
from Dr.. Berry to the government, con-
Veying the title to the ground, has been
duly made o1t and forwarded and is in the
custody of the proper officials. The papers
conveying to DIR. b. the government title
10 the lot opposite the old postOffice corner,
which have been delayed in consequence of
some revenue stamp irregularity, will be
here to-day. We believe the apprOpria-
tons by the government for this purpose
already made amount to S104, 1850.
But this is by no means the limit to be ex.
pended in the erection of the building
Indeed, letters Just received from Mr.,
Mullett, the Government Architect, state
that the structure will be built on a much
larger and costher scale than he indicated
during his recent brief visit to this place.
He is now engaged in preparing the plans,
and celebrating the design of the edifce,
according to which we are assured it will
be speedily put under contract. The con-
tract for the removal of the old buildings
on the lot, on the corner of Broad and Vine
streets, has been given, when the work Of
removing the buildings, preparatory to
cleaning the ground for the commencement
Of the Customhouse, will be at once COM
menced. When once put under way, we
are informed that no suspension of the
work will be permitted until the entire
building is completed, IN a manner worthy
of our people and our city.

The Boy that Dared.

Sr. LOUIS, July 14-On Tuesday a boy
about fourteen years old working with a
team on the grading of the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas Railroad, about two miles
from Sedalia, was severely fogged by some
workmen. Unhitching one of his horses
he rode away, but returned about an hour
armed with shot gun and revolver, and
riding up to the man who whipped him
shot him dead. The other men sprang
forward to disarm him when he fred the
revolver, mortally wounding one of them,
and with pistol in hand hitched up his
team and drove off unmolested.
