therefore highly necessary to know how

desirable to you those gifts may be, they

feelings in many ineligible ways before
they make direct offer can generally
be spared the pain Of 'frefhal. II you
do not mean to accept gentleman who
is paying you very marked attentions
you should avoid receiving them when
ever you can; you should not allow him
to escort you; you should show your dis
pleasure when jokel about him; and II

you should reply to it as soon as possible,
and having in this case none Of the en-

can make such q careful choice Of
words rs will best convey your meaning.
If the person Is estimabIe, you should ex-
press your sense Of his merit, and your
gratitude for his preference in strong
terms and put your refusal of his hand
on the score of your not feeling for him
that peculiar preference necessary to the
union he seeks. This makes q refusal as
little painful as possible, and soothes the
feelings you are Obliged to wound.
The gentleman's letter should be returned
in your reply, and your lips should be
closed upon the subject ever afterward.

tell it to any one; but if your parents
are your confidential friends on all ether
occasions he win not blame you for tell

THERE has been great flutter among

is a genuine African, witha f.ce as black
as the darkest midnight. and about a.
rough as butchers block. He claims
to be endowed with supernatural powers
in the healing art, by the laying ON of
hands, using charms. etc. He says he is
ninety-six years old, that at the age Of
fifty years his hair was white Us woof,'
but came out and was replaced by a sec.

which yet remains as black as the ravens

teeth. His father. who died at the age
of one hundred and six years. al.o bad

Hang the busy hohey-bec
Look upon the stream which wanders
Down through messy hanks and rocks,
Where the shepherd --tirsd and weary
Leads a, noon, his painting Aocks.
May comes on with blushing beauty,
Like young and timid bride;
And with radiant smiles of glory
Paints the landscape far aud wide.

day, and the announcement made that the
government forces under General CebalIOs
entered that city this morning at six O'Clock,
the revoluti0nists under Generals TrevinO

preeipitately on the approach of the two
columns of government troops under Gen

los from the frontier.
General TrevinO, with a considerable
force, wasat Soliras, whittier the combined
cayary force of Generals Roeha, Revueltos

tantry remaining in Monterey to recuperate
from the effects of the severe forced marches
upon that place.
Monterey is reported to present pitiable
aspect Business had been suspended nn-
forced loans, and many families and mer-
chants had fed. The last act of TreyinO in
that city was prestavio. The United Statl
consul was imprisoned for refusing to pay,
and his place OF business feized Another
citizen OF the United States was assessed
$4,000, or five hundred lashes, and only got
off by paying $1,000.
The entrance of the government forces
was hailed with joy by the population re-
manning in Monterey.
1t is feared that the revolutionists carried
off many prominent citizens, who are miss
ing, to be held as hostages or for further
robbery.
The news of the recent occupation Of
Monterey by the government forces wa re-
eeived in this city by ringing Of bellsy afing

Generals Rocha's, Ceballos and Reyuel-
