A New mIan Route.

We have long felt the necessity Of
a mail route from this city to Cliff

have occasionally called attention
to the propriety of petitiOning the
Department for its establishment;
but nothing, so far, has been done
with it. We find in the WanyesbO-

lowing timely and sensible sugges-

press the hope that the petition may
be numerously signed, and that the

|. DePuTy-SherfTF Absconds with
Two Thousand Dollars.

There was considerable excite
ment about the courthouse yester-
day, over the reported absconding
of Deputy Sheriff, John G.. Reed.
Upon investigation we learned that
his absence was first discoYed from
the remark of n woman of the town,
named Mollie Eakin, that Reed had
given her one hundred dollars 70
meet him at Memphis 1t was then
ascertained that he had failed to re-
turn a number of executions in his
hands, upon which he had collected
the money, and the total amount OF
money belonging to parties in court
in his hands is about two thousand
dollars.
Sheriff Connor telegrsphed the
authorities at Memphis yesterday TO
arrest him, and unless he has al
ready gone to Arkansas, here he
was bound, there is probability OF
his apprehension.
Mr.. Reed has always borne a good
character in this community, and
we are at loss to account for his
conduct in this matter Chdttd-

Help one Another.

This little sentence should be writ
ten on every heart-stamped on eve
ry memory. 1t should be the gold
en- rule practiced, not only in every
household, but all through the
world. BY helping one another we
not only remove thorns from the
pathway and anxiety from the mind,
but we feel a sense of pleasure in
our hearts, knowing that we are do
ing n duty TO fellow creature.
A helping hand or an encouraging
word is 10 loss To US, yet it is a ben
eft to others. Who has not felt the
power of a little sentence? Who
has not needed the encouragement
and id of kind friendl How
soothing, when perplexed with some
task that is both mysterious and
burdensome, TO feel a gentle hand
on the shoulder, and to hear a kind
voice whispering, "do not feel dis
couraged, 1 sec your troubles, let me
help you" What strength is in
spired, hope created, what sweet
gratitude is felt, and great difficulty
dissolves as dew beneath the sun
shine. Yes, let us help one another,
by endeavoring to strengthen and
encourage the weak, and lifting the
burden of care from the weary and
oppressed, that life may glide
smoothly on, and the fount OF bitter
ness yield sweet waters; and he
whose willing hand is ever ready to
aid us will reward our humble en-
deavors, and every good deed will
be as ''bread upon the waters, to re-
turn after many days." If not to US,
at least to those we love.

Good wheat bread and butter is
the staff of civilized life. Take
away wheat bread and butter from
our families for a few generations,
and who is prepared to say that civ
ilizatioH would not glide easily to
state OF barbarisn? There is sound
philosophy in this suggestion; be-
cause there is no other Kind of human
food that is so admirably adapted to
the human frame, including a noble
brain, as good wheat bread. CiviliZa-
ton has seemed to keep pace with
the production of wheat, and rctin-
ed society the world over has SEEM
ed to exist cOeyal with the wheaton
loaf.
We find the lowest order of intel
Iigences standing on a potato. Only
one step above this class, another
order is found on hOecake. One
degree above this we meet with the
class that has risen in the scale of
being, as high as it Is possible for
mortals to rise, on n pancake.
Head and shoulders above all of
| these classes we find the highest or
der of intelligences with large and
well developed brains and noble
| characters, standing securely on
| their wheaton loaf. No other food
can excel the wheaton loaf, because
! il furnishes more and better matell-
al for the human brain than any
other food.

A TerrItory without Taxes.

Colorado presents a state of fIan-
cial prosperity as a territory une-
qualed in the history of a new state,
if not entirely without precedent
There is no indebtedness of anv
kind hanging over the territory
There is surplus of $4,000 in the
treasury. The current expenses OF
the government are less than S45,-
600 per annum. The law provides
that no tax shall be levied for the
current year, 1872; and that the tax
Of 1873 shall not exceed one and one
half mills on the dollar. When the
legislature meets again in January,
1874, the present surplus will scarce
ly be diminished. These are simple
facts stated in a plain manner
Here is territory with no debt. no
taxes, and cash in the treasury.

There's a jolly Saxon prsverb,
And it's pretty much like this,
That a man is half in heaven
When he has woman's kiss.
But there's danger in denying,
And the sweetness may forsake IL;
So, tell you, bashiul lower,
II you want kiss,
Why, take it.
Never let another fellow
Steal march on you in this;
Never let = laughing maiden
See you spelling for a kiss;
There's a royal way OF kissing,
And the jolly ones who makeit
Have q motto that is winning
II you want kiss,
Why, take Il.
Aay fool may fsce a cannon,
ANY body wear a crown
But a man must win a woman,
II he'd have her for his own.
Would you have a golden apple,
You must fnd the tree and shake it
And if the thing is worth the having,
Aud you want kiss,
Why, take it.
Who would burn upon a desert,
With forest smiling by?
Who would give his sunny summer
For a bleak and wlntry skyy
Oh / tell you, there is magic,
And you eannet, cannot break it,
For the sweetest part OF living

LEAP-YEAR ROMANCE.
A wealthy widow Captures
Young New Yorker.

\ romantic marriage was solem-
nized in St. PauPs church, in East
one Hundred and Seventeenth St,
last night, the couple being Mr..
Thomas Fagan and Mrs. j. Read
Ii was the climax Of a case of love at
first sight, and the raising of a Uoor
young man TO afliuence.
Mr.. ThOs. Pagan is the son of the
late James T. Pagan, who was su-
perinteRdent of Wards Island
Young Pagan led a lively and fast
life prior 10 his fathers death, and
thus naturally incurred the old gen
tlemau's displeasure. He was cut
OF with a shilling. Thomas then
l'sensibly went to work to earn an
honest living. Being young, of pre-
possessing address, he soon obtain
ed employment with Mr.. Patrick
Martin, house painter in Harlem.
About this time he was sent by
his employer TO brighten up the in
terror Of the lonely dwelling of the
buxom widow of the late JOS. Read,
a gentleman who had acquired a
large fortune in Washington mar
ket. The widow was decidedly Ia
ken with young Fagan on his first
appearance in the house, and watch
ed his work with apparently deep
interest In fact she followed him
from room to room, scarcely leaY-
ing him alone for a minute. This
made Thomas a little nervous, and
being rather sensitive he imagined
the widow suspected him of dishOn-
esty. The longer Thomas remained
in the widows dOmicile the closer
she watched him. Finally it made
him so uncomfortable that he re-
solved to stand il no longer.
He informed his employer of this
state of affairs, and another man was
sent in his place. This did not suit
the widow, and when the new paint
er made his appearance she bade him
return to the shop and send Pagan
to do the work, saying that She
wanted him and none other TO work
for her. Pagan was accordingly
sent to finish the job. While Pagan
was busily at work, Mrs. Read step
ped up to him and asked him whcth-
or he was married. On being au-
sweIed in the negative, she said
''Then l am going TO take advantage
of the leap year, and make you a
proposition of marriage"
But, my dear madam" said the
Young man. blushing to the roots of
his hair, ''you must surely be jok-
ing; we are strangers, and l am sure
that you do not mean what you
say"
''If you think that | am Joking.
and do not mean what / say, Just
put on your coat and go with me to
my lawyer, and will make over TO
you fifty thousand dollars worth of
property" said the bouncing wild
0w.
Young Pagan, convinced by her
manner that she was in earnest,
straightway accompanied her 10 the
lawyer, and a deed was drawn up
giving to Pagan fifty thousand dol
lars worth of property, which he
was to become possess of on the day
of the marriage. Pagan, after the
agreement had been made, gave up
his work. He can be seen daily rid
ing through the city behind a fast
horse, which draws a stylish turn
out, and he is one of the best dress
ed men 10 be seen on the street.
Whenever he meets one of his old
chums he halls him and says, 'Well,
boys, this is better than painting,
eh?7

Family worship.

The Rev. j. 3. Hawthorne, of
Louisville, said in a sermon last
Sabbath :
Family worship should have a
very prominent place in the reli-
giOus training OF children. An altar
should be erected in every house
hold, to which father or mother day
by day should come with their chill
dren, laying upon it offerings of
prayer, thanksgiving and praise
Yonder sun shines upon no object
more lovely to the eye of God than
that habitatiOn where He is honor
ed by the morning deyotions of a
Christian family. The mighty stars
look down from their distant homes
upon no scene more beautiful than
a pious household assembled at eve
ming twilight to thank the Giver of
all good for the blessing of the day,
and to invoke His guardian care
through the watches of the night
Such a home is a little heaven be-
low. Every mind is calm, every
heart is happy, every face is bright.
"Ths night is filed with music,
And the cares that intest the day
Fold their tents like the Arabs,
And as silently pass away"
