Love.

o. -
In Seville, which is popularity believed to be in
Spain, there is in use a most f~elicitous invention
in the way of making overwhelmingly. After
dark, young cdbeHer0s steal beneath their lady'e
lattice, which, perhaps, is in the third story-and
softly unscrewing the handle OF their walking
sticks, proceed TO extract from the same, which
are hollow, length after lengtho of hollow tubing,
screwing them together after the fashion of a
Japanese fishing pole, or the old apparatus where
with sweeps clean chlmneys. A mouth piece is
fitted into each end and one raised to the window
above. Soon by the aid of this Impoverished
speaking tube, two souls with a certain unanimity
of thought, and two hearts with a possible unison
of pulsation are softly communing.
Now this is all very nice, seductively romantic
and all that sort of thing, but mark what the
knowledge of it brought to a certain youth Of
Baltimore. He had read of it, or heard of it,
and happening to have a snrreptitious affection
for a young and wealthy lady, which she as sur
reptitiously reciprocated, he determined with her
connivance to avail himself of it. He got a tin
pipe OF the desired length, made by a timer, and
in each end of it, placed for want of a better
mouth-piece a funnel. Delicious conversation
went on, he sitting on the top of a water barrel
and she leaning from her window above. They
would converse for hours, and exchange all the
soft nonsense in the world and then he would
unship his apparatus, put the tunnels in his
pocket. wrap the pieces up In a newspaper, and
go home in d state of ETHEREAL bliss. The course
OF true love never did run smooth, and one even
ing the old gentleman, smoking in the back
garden at an unusual hour, saw the young gen
tleman arrive. fix up his apparatus and commence
his soul-commnning operations.
He made up his mind in a minute. He went
into the kitchen and asked for a pitcher of boiling
water and it was handed to him and off he
posted up stairs. Just as he reached his daugh-
ter's door he commenced calling to her. So
telling her lover to wait a moment, she came to
the door. Nellie, my dear, run up to my room
and get me my spectacles I'll wait here till you
come down." She disappeared up stains. and he
stole cautiously to the window. The moment he
touched the funnel the alnorous and unsuspecting
youth clapped his mouth to it to resume where he
he bad broken of - my darling, you can
not imagine how - just then the old
gentleman commenced assiduously filling that
tunnel with hot water, and the rest of that miser-
able youths sentence was never heard. He wore
flour on his face for "a fortnight after, and declines
to go into society just at present.

Dear Sir-Considering that my sermon was
sent to the press precisely as written for the
pulpit, without transcription, it is surprising
that SO few typographical errors occur in your

low from the substitution of haunt for taunt,
pernaeating for peruerting, and so on-but, will
you be SO kind as to allow me to correct part Of
the very last sentence thus, "thlough faith and

sin may be punished, and the sinner saved"
