JoNEsBOROUGH, TENNESSEE THURSDAY NOVEMBER TO- IS
A Saa Siarx.

Truth is some times stranger than fc-
ton. A case happened in this city few
days ago, which iorcibly illustrated the
truth of the above maxim. Not very
many moons ago young lady born, reared
and educated in the first circles OF Phila-
delphia society, visited this city. Her
visit was triumph. She came, she saw,
etc.
Her face was lovely. she was graceful as
the fawn, commanding in appearance. with
the most winning and elegant manners
accomplished in all things recognized as
necessary to complete the education of a
lady. She could sing with that accuracy
| and excellence which silenced the voice of
criticism, and many have been thrilled to
their very souls by her touch on the piano
and harp. Above all she was intelligent
beyond the ordinary run of women-and
not a few hearts in the higher walks of life
in this city. at the very moment, acknowl-
edged with sharp twinge of pain the in
fuence she exerted IN our midst few
short years ago. She returned to her
home after career as brilliant as belle
ever made, and before another season she
succumbed to the wiles of the seducer.-
She disappeared suddenly from the haunts
of her friends, and fashion knew its unfor-
tunatc child no more forever. None knew
whittier she had gone. and none sought to
know save those to whom she was dearer
than life ITSELF
We will not follow her through her
fallen career-suffice it to say, she trod
royalty the halls of the demi-monde in n
York, Philadelphia, Boston and Baltimore.
A few weeks ago random shot from one
of her former friends hit its mark She
realized in a moment the depth to which
she had fallen, the lisping she had been
taught in childhood poured back like a
torrent upon her memory, and she had re-
course to priest in the holy Catholic
Church for guidance and advice.
She disposed of all her clothes, tinscl
and jewelry, purchased an entire outfit
suitable to a convent, and came to Balti-
more with the intention Of deyoting the
remnant of misspcnt life to the God who
gave it. She reached the President-street
Depot, it was raining hard; she was
drenched to the skin; she succeeded after
some delay in getting u carriage; drove to
a house of disrepute she formerly frequen-
ted was received with tenderness and
cared for with the utmost solicitude by its
unfortunate occupants. She announced
to them her intentions, but their care
slackened not
For four weary weeks one room in den
of intamy was made temple of God
She prayed fervantly that her hopes might
lie realized. but the Ruler of all things
earthly. Gecrecd otherwise, and few even
ines ago, funeral cortegc was seen slowly
vending its way through the streets of
Baltimore, the saddest perhaps that ever
left the city. Miss j P, once
fashions reigning belle, now a Magdalen
indeed, was borne to her last resting place
The mourners were her spiritual advisers
and her companions in shame, who clung
t. her 10 the last.

nanlOu.

A certain political speaker was address
sing large audience in Virginia, and dos
cantlng vehemently against prescriptions of
foreigners, when his eye fell upon little
German Jew, peddler of ready-made
clothing, who seemed to be very much i'm
pressed with the argument of the orator,
/ greedily swallowing everything he uttered.
This was too good not to make the best of,
and looking the peddler full in the eye,
he exclvmed: liug8E
'.Furriner, didn't you come to this coun-
try to escape from the tyranical, dOwntrod-
den and oppressed Europe? Didn't you
fec to these happy shores to live in a land
of freedom, where the great right of suf-
frage is guaranteed to all didn't you,
furriner"
He paused for reply. when the little
peddler squeaked out
"No, sir; 1 come to dis country to shell
sheep ready-made cloding"
The astonishment of the orator, and the
shouts and roars of the multitude cannot be
described. This finished the harrangue.

The Old Maid ef the Period.
BY FANNY FERN.

All! the modern old maid has her eye
teeth cut. She takes care of herself, in
stead of her sisters nine children, through
mumps, and measles. and Group, and chick
en-pox, and lung fever and leprosy, and
what not.
she don't work that way for no wages,
and bear liberation day and night. No,
sir! Ifshe has no money she teaches, or
she lectures, or she writes books and poems,
or she is book-keeper, or she sets type,
or she does anything but hang on to the
skirts of somebody else's husband, and she
feels we'll and independant in consequence,
and holds mp her head with the, best, and
asks no favors. and "Won,aa's Rights
has done it rt ~rvfs -
That awful bugbear, 'Woman's Rightsv =
which small-souled men, and, l am sorry
to say, narrow acOmen too, burlesque and
ridicule and won't belive in, till the
Juggcrnaut of Progress knocks them down
and rides over them, because they will
neither climb up on it, nor get out of the
way.
The fact is. the Modera Old Maid is as
good as the modern Young Maid, and a
great deal better, to those who have out
grown bread and butter She has sense
as well as freshness, and conversation ard
rapartee as we'll as dimples and curves.
She carries dainty parasol, aud natty
little umbrella, and wears killing bonnets.
and has live poets and sages and philoso-
piers in her train, and knows how to use
her eyes, don't care if she never sees cat,
and couldn't tell snuff box from patent
reaper, and has bank-book and dividend !;

A M others Love.

The ahectionate nature of mother Is
exhibited in the luXuriant fondncss and tie
keenest solicituGe for her children. To
them how careful, how watclrful, how ten
der. how assduous to supply their every
want aud meet their thOnsaud nccesi-
ties. How iervently aud ardeutly she
prays for their prese: vation from the nu-
mcrous evils and contaninations of
world of temptation, sin and sorrow. How
carefully she instructs them in their duties
TO God and their relations to their fellow
men and with what affectionate adroitnes
she teaches them to prefer honor to gain,
duty to ease. public to private interest,
and Gods works to mans inventions.
With what solicitous care she bends the
tender twig so as to incline the future tree
to virtuous paths. When others, and even
the father grows weary in looking to their
interest, the mother faints not. Her hands
are ever ready to labor and her feet swift
to meet their demands. Though her pro-
geny become rodigals-strong and valiant
sinners-and by shameful deeds and re-
peated crimes. heap untold sorrow upon
her weary head, causing her heart to blead
without intermission, still she clings to her
offspring, weeps, prays and labors for his
reformation and salvation. She still loves
him with love unknown to any save a
mother, and is ever ready to say,
Il am not angry dearest boy,
mothers heart has yearnedfor thee,
A mothers prayers been offered up,
10 the Eternal Throne.
And though thou hast been wayward,
boy
Misguided by thy will,
a mothers love is thine, my 10y,
Thou art my darling still.
Was love ever like hers? So pure, ardent,
disinterested and God-hke Tax the mind,
the whole energy OF your being; call into
action eloquence and persuasion, let them
do their utmost. andstill the half Of that
love can never be told So God-like in its
nature, it battles every attempt at descrip-
ton. Happy the man who has mother
to love.
