ar: "I am trying to earn Susan. y

ear: II am trying to earn Susan"
"She's yours" shouted the old man,
regardless of the bystanders or the
court, which having now an inkling Of
the matter, gave loose rein to their
jubilant feelings. How Susan felt,
however, can be better imagined than
described. She blushed like one of
her mothers peonies, and hastily hid
her face in her veil.
When the merriment had subsidized
and old Mr.. Lippe had secured bis
equanimity, the happy attorney pro-
ceeded, and finally made so clear a
case for his involuntarily client, as
caused the judge to dismiss the suit.
The old man left the court in triumph,
and with his hired hand, proceeded
forthwith to the clerks Office, where a
license was procured. The Judge gave
the court short recess and united the
happy pair in the bonds of matrimony.
Since that event, Mr.. Lippe has
changed his views on educational mat
ters. The other day as Judge Cover
dale was leaving home to take his seat
in Congress, he said to his grandson
"Lippe Coverdale, get your lessons
well, and who knows but what you'll
go to Congress too.
"Who knows exclaimed the
happy Susan.

The Lottery Of Life.

The Boston correspondent of the
Chicago Journal tells this story: Five
years ago the wife of one of the most
prominent men of State street was a
poor seamstress. When she first came
to the city (from Maine) she worked
three weeks before receiving any pay,
and sleeping with one of her shopmates,
she borrowed money and bought bread,
having been refused regular board
without paying in advance. In order
to keep body and soul together, relent-
less work employed her all day, and
hours at night demanded that she
should ply the needle. But the most
cynical of men approve of woman's a
good personal appearance, and this
seamstress finally managed to dress
well and pay the price of seat in an
uptown church. Her natural beauty,
coupled with spirit of womanly indie
pendence drew towards her friends,
and the result was that she married
one of the wealthiest gentlemen at the
South End, against the wishes of his
friends, however, who did not like the
idea of his marrying outside of the
circle of wealth. But Cupid cuts up
come curious tricks, sometimes. The
poor seamstress is now sitting in the
lap of athuence, and those who know
her are inclined to envy her good luck
as she comes down town in a carriage
to do her shopping. But this sudden
change in her worldly condition has not
made her bit "stuck up" She moi
only drops tear of sympathy over the
heart-sick condition of the struggling
shop-girl, but italicizes that sympathy
by donations of much cash.

Stop Thief.

A laughable incident is related by
the Chicago EVening Journal in con-
nection with the Baptist Convention
Just held in that city. The reception
Committee had been driven to their
wits end to devise means Of lodging
the ministers in attendance, and after
considerable tribulation found quar-
ters for them all, some fifteen hundred
in number. About fifty were quarter
ed on the floor of the Chapel attached
to the University on Cottage Grove
Avenue, and succeeded in sleeping
very comfortable during FIVE nights.
On the sixth, however, one Of the
reverend gentlemen happened to wake
up at an early hour and groped about
for his cloths, but they were gone
nothing that usually arrayed the
clerical person could be found. He
sat up in bed and scratched his head
in confusion, not fully comprehending
the situation at first. Looking
around, he discovered that Brother
BIS clothes were also absent, that
Brother Us big boots were not in
their usual place; and, in fact,
thorough examination showed that not
an article of apparel belonging to the
half hundred ministers was in the
room. Thoroughly frightened, the
unfortunate Baptist yelled Robbers !
Burglars p at the top of his voice,
and soon his companions were made
aware of the situation. The ensuing
scene can be better imagined than de-
scribed. Considerable valuable prop
erty was included with the missing
garments, such as money, watches,
railroad tickets, &C., and the situa-
ton, to the unlucky victims, was grave
in the extreme. The unclothed fifty
rushed hither and thither in tho ex-
citement of the moment, vainly seek
ing something they could not find
One could not but have pitied them,
and yet their embarrassment was ludi-
crous in the extreme. They looked,
says the Journal, like a lot of ghosts
holding grand carnival in the early
dawn. Finally the news spread, and
soon professors, students and porters
were busy devising means for dressing
up the unfortunates, but before they
had solved the difficulty presented, a
pile of clerically cut garments was
found in an out of the way corner, q
pair of boots in another place, and the
thorough search which was then in
stituted showed that some mischievous
college boys had played trick upon
them, and hidden their garments in
various hooks and corners about the
building. The ministers were finally
clothed, and wAl not soon forget the
scare they received.

A New Orleans paper tells the fol-
lowing story: One of our coast plan
ters, who has number of Chinese la
borers in his employ, seeing a diposi-
ton on the part of some of the ne
groes to annoy the Orientals, and ap-
pretending resort by the latter to
the use of the sharp knives which they
alway wear, cautioned them not to
take law into their hands, but in case
they were troubled by any negro to
bring the offender before him and he
would see that justice was done. Ac-
csrdingly one day the planter, while
sitting on his gallery, abserved a pro-
cession of the Cinnamon coming from
the quarter, bearing at their head a
package. The marched with great de-
liberation and dignity up to the man
son and laid their burden on the gal
lery at the feet of planter. 1t proved
to be negro, securely bound as only
Cinnamon know how TO tie a parcel.
The negro was scared out of his senses,
though entirely unhurt. Laying him
quietly down on the gallery, the lead
er of the Chinese, pointing to the mass,
said to the planter; "Niggsh! teo
much too much niggahP p and then
the whole party trotted back to their
work. 1t was an hours hard work to
unite the frightened negro, who on his
release, very cheerfully acted upon the
suggestion of the planter to make
himself scarce"
"Clara" writes from Brooklyn to
say that she has no sympathy with
those "sham modest" girls who com
plain because young men gaze at them
in the street. Clara says she is a pret-
ty girl, and is perfectly willing that
poor young men VINO admire beauty,
and cannot afford to get a specimen
for themselves shsuld look at her
square in the face, provided they do it
in delicate manner. Clara adds that
she has beautiful feet and wears short
dresses, and that her object in wearing
such dresses is the same as that OF all
the other pretty footed girls in the
world.
Hobbs, the old rascal, says an
American girl loves with her eyes, an
English girl with her arms, a French
girl with her lips, and Italian and
Spanish with all three. A Boston
woman capitulates in three months. a
New York woman in two, and a New
Orleans woman in one. Causes,
partly elimatric and constitutional,
and partly few words from the old
folks in the back room.

The Lockport Union describes with
much feeling "a court scene Of quiet
demeanor." 1t says a boy had been
arrested for the offence of picking up
some pieces of fjewelry that came by
accident in his way, and when chased,
running off with them. The venera-
BILE Judge Marvin called the boy to
him, and in answer to the several
questions put to the young one, he
answered that he was eleven years old
He trembled considerably as he ap-
preached, to him, the awful presence
of the white-haired judge but he
found that the wonted seat of cold and
solemn judgment was mercy seat,
and the judges eye fathers counsel
and as the judge told him never more
to keep anything he found, always to
be good boy, and asked him if be
would always do so, the little fellew
answered firmly, eyes sir" and a.
the boy turned and went away from
the premises of his fatherly adviser,
we thought that to a boy of that age,
"Go home and be good boy" was
infinitely safer than prison bars and
that perhaps the sound of those words
would not die away for many year.,
but stay with the young prisoner and
make a man Of him.
The Detroit Free Press says
"Some three months since, as a well
known undertaken was sitting in from
of his shop-door an acquaintance camo
along, and for joke asked the un61g-
taker what he would charge to bury
him. The man replied that he would
do it very reasonably, and-consider-
ing that it was a very dull day-said
that he would bury in fine style for
thirty dollars, provided that he died
in twelve weeks. The bargain was
concluded on the spot, third party
being called TO witness, and on MOI
day the undertaken kept his share ol
the contract, the man having dsj
after an illness of two weeks, whiCb
were his only sick days for twelve
years"

NEw-YoRK delivers her verdict on the rob-
berries and infamies of the Tammany Ring
THIS DAY. These crimes we're local neither in
their perpetration nor their effects. On the
contrary, they have for years pervaded and
polluted the whole State. They have persist
emily, impudently plundered our City of the
Millions wherewith naturalization papers were
forged, repeaters hired, legislators bribed, and
the stockholders Of ono Of our great Rail
roads swindled out of their righteous dues
to an enormous extent, and to the
deadly injury of our National reputation and
credit. The Albany Argus Dem) has Truth
fully declared that GarVey's plaster has been
spread over our whole State, while mgersolls
carpets have found their way into the dwell
ings of rural legislators, who were thus made
tools and serfs of the Tammany Ring. No
county, however remote, has escaped the in
fectiOn no district is known wherein honesty
and purity have not been compelled to resist at
the polls the stolen Millions, 80 easily OBJ
tanned, so profusely lavished, by the manipula-
! tors and minions of the Ring.
Freemen of New-York! the avenging hour
has struck! You are bound this day to pro-
claim, in language which cannot be misun-
derstood, your adherence of the frauds and
villainies whereby the City has been 30 mer-
cilessly plundered and the State 80 shamefully
corrupted. We have had no real legislation
for years, but instead of it an auction, wherein
your representatives have been boughtlike cattle
and laws enacted or rejected according as one
side or the other would pay most. Such has
been the rule of your State since Tweed and
his cabal made John T. Hoffman your Gov
ernor by gigantic, atrocious frauds. Brand
the corrupters and their work at the polls
THIS DAY!
New-York tribune., 1871-11-07
NEH-JERSEY.

For several years past, partly in conseq uenco
of the misgovernment of our city, New-Jer-
sey has pro6ted greatly by the overflow OF
New-York. Her population has been very con-
siderably increased by the exodus OF large
representation of the most valuable portion OF
our population. All of these new citizens
have had practical knowledge of the evils we
are fighting to-day. If they desire to prevent
the extension into their new homes OF the
baleful influences from which we have suf-
fered so terribly, If they are willing to aid us
in throwing off the yoke of bondage which
has become intolerable, let them show it by
their votes to-day. A great victory in New
jersey will strengthen the hands of the party
of Reform in the serious work which still lies
before them during the coming Winter.
The signs are all most favorable. There
has been a steady growth in the Republican
strength for several years past. The vote for
Governor in 1853 was-Republican, 7O,333;
Democratic, s3955. The vote for Congress-
men last year was - Republican, SO,d26;
Democratic, 76,373. With the impetus given
by the aroused conscience of New-York, it
ought to be easy for our friends in Jersey to
put their State to-day permanently where she
belongs-on the side of Equal Rights and
good government.
