Parties will soon be IN vogue, and the
hearts of gallant young men are going
pit-pat in anticipation. and the hearts OF
sweet young ladies are signing for the
same. Many a young man Is thinking in
%tensely of some young lady whom he will
promenade with, and say to her, perhaps,
" 1t is a fearful thing
To love as ! love thee; to feel The world
The bright, the beautiful, ~joy-giving
world
A blank without thee" BE-
And many a girl will be foolish enough
to believe him, and many a one won't.
But, boys, there is an art In making love.
Let us remind you Of what Byron says, to-
wit:
" Not much he kcns, I ween, Of woman's
breast,
Who thinks that wanton thing is won by
signs;
What care:h she for hearts when once
possessed?
Do proper homage to thine idols eyes;
But MT too liuInbly, or she will despisc
Thee and thy suit, though told in moving
tropes; -.
Liseuise ev'n tenderness, II thou artwise
Brisk confidence still best With woman
copes;
Piaue her and soothc In turn, soon pas
sion crowns thy hopes"

RAILROAD LEASE 1T is said that the


RAILROAD LEASE 1t is said that the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad, of which
the great railroad king, Tom Scott, is
President. has leased the Memphis 4
Charleston road for fifty years. For five
years the stockholders of the Memphis &
Charleston road are to get three per cent.
in dividends, and, after five years, six per
cent. Stock in the NJ. g. G. road has adj
vanced from 80 cents to about 10 cents in
consequence of this arrangements, which
is a good me, most assuredly. The Penn
sylvania Central will at once make the
Winchester 4 Alabama road a connecting
link with the Memphis Il Charleston, and
transport cotton and other freight from
Memphis over it. 1t does appear to us that
Winchester and Decherd will be benefited.
and if our people would only rouse to a
little action and advertise the natural ad-
vantages of this section for all sorts OF
manufactures, the cry Of ''hard times
would become inaudible amid the clatter
Of machinery and the Kissing Of steam.
True, we have very little capital our
selves, but a little energy on our part-a
little effort to induce capitalists to come,
by publishing our advantages, our miner
al resources, water powers, salubrity OF
climate. educational focilities, and so forth.
would soon tell a tale of success perfectly
marvellous. Oh. for some power to breathe
the breath oflifc into us as a community!

The Fayetteville Observer says: "A 10
cal business that does not make a good
deal Of noise in type or continuous adver-
Using, ought not to complain OF CONNER
cia' stagnation. If there be too much of a
calm, stir up a storm by putting fresh,
new advertisements into the local press.
A New Yorker was once surprised that
Mr. Stewart, the New York dry goods mil
liOnaire, needed so much advertising to
keep up a business like his. The more he
thought it over. the stranger it looked; so
he finally took his hat and went to Mr..
Stewart direct. for a solution of this mys-
terry. The dry goods autocrat very terse-
ly replied: When l leave off advertising, l
find that my business falls off,"

DILATORY LovERs.--The season Is close
at hand when the Christmas days Will
bring about all sorts of pleasantly and fun.
There will be parties, and sounds of rev.
elry by night" and Winchester's beauty
and chivalry will be gathered there. The
coal oil lamps will shine DER fair women
and brave men; a dozen or more, perhaps
fifty, hearts will beat happily, &c. And
there will be odd moments for the enun-
citation Of loving words, &c. Let us say to
the young men: Don't be dilatory. Some
sharp fellow has said: Without a dash OF
"modest assurance"-or shall we call ii
modified impudence ?-no man is likely to
make much Roadway with any lady. Nc
moman, however bashful, admires sheep
ishness in u lover; on the contrary, your
retiring, sensitive women usually prefer
bold, %outspoken fellows, who push matters
to a crisis with earnestness and dispatch
He who sits down before the fortress Of a
wotnan's heart with the hope of bringing
it to terms of equalization by slow and
regular approaches, will usually find that
it Laughs u siege to ~scorn," and the
chances are that, while he is drawing his
lines of decentralization, a more passionate
woOer will assault the work ut some weak
point and carry it by storm.

THE PIANO NUIsANcE.-An exchange
asks: "Who will assist in getting up a So
eiety for the suppression of pianos!" We
answer: Ourselt, for one. True, the days
are gone when we gallanted the girls, and
said things to them they were glad to
hear, but did not believe; and did not say
things to them they could have heard, and
perhaps. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, W. care for
the suppression OF the piano nuisance .
Christmas is close at hand, and it will be
attended, very naturally, with merriment,
~neighborly kindness, good cheer and dan
cling. Against all these pastimes we enter
no objection, tor we are an over-taxed
people, and once q year at least it will do
no harm if we enjoy ourselves. And we
know, full well, that in the coming Christ
mas dinners and ~egg-nogss, parties and
sociablcs, will prevail. And the young
men will get up balls, and pretty girls Will
be there in tulle, and satin, and all the
fashions announced in Cooley and Peter
son will be displayed And all will be for
enjoyment. Perhaps the schoolgirls will
be there. Upon this point. however. there
is som uncertainty. President Graves
may not disband his school for the lloli-
days, or, if he should, may place upon the
dear students such restrictions that it will
not benefit 'the boys" a whit. so far rs
enjoying the engaging and intellectual
companionship of the girls is concerned.
Such Il short-sighted and cruel disposition
of matters would be truly lamentable, to
be sure, but it is within the bounds of
probability. for we have long since learned
that collegiate watchtulncss was the worst
OF tyrants, and tyranny of this sort suits
the watcllful care and loving kindness OF
the cruel parents who want their "hopc-
fuls' to learn, and not to fall in love. And
yet, this falling in lore is the scverest les
son they can learn in lifc-a lesson imper-
fectly learned when the student is never
allowed to see young men or go in society.
and all because they are going to school !
What a sad mistake! But, to the point:
There will be parties. All the boys and
girls will be enjoying themselves Hist!
In comes some idiot who thinks she can
play. and has waited her opportunity for
an audience. Down she sits and commen-
ceS to drum, interfering with CONVERSE
ton, giving no pleasure, and simply in.
spring disgust. OF course she is attended
by young man, and he turns over the
music, leaf after leaf. as If lie knew phen
to turn without receiving a nod from the
performer. While she Is playing the boys
and girls are jabbering. and the moment
she ceases you will hear the exclamation
on all sides that it is beautiful--so sweet.
&C., and yet, ten to one not a single per-
son in the audience knows or cares what
was played. Compliments, however. come
IN from every side, and the poordupe is in
duced to play just one more piece. and so
on Until the parties, going out. leave no
audience to he bored.
So, we say Z: Put us down as one for the
suppression Of the piano the coming
Christmas.
