A certain shoemaker of our acquaint-
anco is under the impression that very
great portion of the intellect CT the
United States is now or has been employ
ed in his most useful calling, and is a
powerful man in debating political or
religious matters. Having had the honor
of serving in the army during our late
war, he was asked what the letter r
stood for OH the button OF an old army
coat worn by beggar who had just en-
tered his shop, and replied, with perfect
confidence, that r stood for artillery.

guags OF the statute recently signed by
Governor Palmer provides that mo per.

act shall not be construed TO effect the
eligibility OF any person to an elective

also inserted, rs follows: Nothing in
this act shall be con trued as requiring
any female to work on streets, or roads,

A gentleman tourist relates the follow
ing amusing incident rs having occurred
while travelling Though the western
country:
Riding on horseback just at night
through the woods in Saginaw County.
Michigan, came into clearing, in the
middle OF which stood a log house, its
owner sitting in the open door smoking
his pipe. Stopping my horse before him,
the following conversation ensued:
Good evening, sir, said |.
Good evening"
Can / get glass of milk from you
to drink ?"
well, l don't know Ask the old
woman"
BY this time the wife was standing at
his side.
"Oh, yes !" said she, "of course you
can
While drinking it asked: Think we
are going to have a storm z"
"Well, really don't know. Ask the
old woman-she can tell.
Il guess we all get one right away"
said the wife.
Again asked "IIow much land have
you ct cie.ued h,re?'
Wei, really don't know. Ask the
old woman --she knows.'
About nineteen acres, said she again
answering.
Just then troop Of children came
running and shouting round the corner of
the shanty. "Are these your children'"
said |.
Don't know. Ask the old woman
she knows best"
didn't wait to hear the reply, but
drew rein, and left Immediately.

well inclined TO this action, and urged
Lord Palmerston to unite with him in

expressions OF sympathy, but unwilling
to commit himself to so dangerous
course. 1t goes on to say that Messrs.
Mason and Slitel had the highest

Miss Ware. She was J4 years of age,

fLIRfING.-lt Is remarkable, but new
ef'heicss true, that, as rule, flirts, both
male and female, do not marry quickly.
The chances are that girl who becomes
engaged ut eighteen, and goes on be-
coming engaged and disengaged, as is
the custom for tlirts to do, ultimately
settles down into confirmed old maid
II she does wed, as general rule. she
develops lntoa virulcnt wasp. makes her
husband miserable, and brings up her
children badly. 1t is not vcrv difficult
To find reasons why tiirts do not marry.
Sensible men admire in woman some
thlhg besides pretty face and engaging
manners. They love intellect, common
sense, and heart qualifications, which
the filrt does not possess. The true wo-
man allows her affections full play, and
Is not ashamed of them She will not
icad man to believe she cares for him
when she does no such thing; she will
not fllrt with him just for the sake of
hirtlng. She has true conception of
what is right, and possesses great deal
more common sense. She has derived
her education from something else than
three-volume novels and the society of
the empty-pated. She can be thorough
ly merry, but She can be merry without
being ldlotlc. She NAV attract less at
tent'on in a drawing-room than a firt
does, because she is less noisy and OBJ
trt,ivG; but, for all that, she will be
married sooner, and make her husband
better and trucr wife. a true woman
does not care tor the >poony Young
man. She di>Iikcs his toppishne~s, the
VIVID compliment. he pays her, aud hi,
