It is with feeling of regret over the
wasted years of his youth and early man
hood, that old Mr.. Waterloo, of the St.
Louis Journal, writes: q ssThe warm
weather appears extremely conductive to
the growth and Development of the Night
Blooming Ceres. This flower is frequently
very beautiful; ii grows Ichiefy on the in
side of front gates, and may be seen at
any time between eight and eleven o'clock,
with its head droo2ing toward young man

The figures given below viii tempt many
q young noodle to abandon an honest trade
to seek g princely salary on some metro

They had rather affecting time in the
Senate Chamber and Representative Hall
yesterday, upon the final adjournment of
the Legislature. Expressions of fervent
mutual regard ard professions of lifelong
friendship were freely INDUCED in. Who
says statesmen are lacking in sentiment?
A young man in Minnesota took the cars
to go to Jonesville, where he was to be
married, but the train was delayed so long
that he got anxious and acted so nervous
ly that some detectives arrested him as one
implicated in great Chicago robbery, and
when he was at length released, he found
his intended, getting huffy at his delay s,
had married another man.
We had variety of weather yesterday.
The morning was pleasant; later, gentle
mist descended, and this, in time, devel-
oped into heavy rain. AT dark, a gentle
zephyr, hailing from the immediate Vicini-
ty of the North pole, was galloping through
our well paved thoroughfares, turning UNI
brellas wrong side out, and uncaremoni-
ously transferring glossy tiles from the
heads OF their owners to the gutter, to the
intense delight of the owners aforesaid. II
there Is any one thing man does enjoy,
over and above everything else, it is TO see
his shiny stove pipe, for which he has just
paid seven or eight dollars and half, sud
denly start off like a thing If life and go
dancing and skipping along the
muddy cutters just in front
Of him. at such times, mans
first inclination is to sit down and laugh un-
til the tears run down his cheeks, but upon
second thought he don't do anything ofthe
kind, but postpones, for the time being, all
business matters, and devotes all the ener-
gies Of bis mind and &C ivity of body to
up his flying chapeau, whose an
tics are so irresistibly funny that he desires
TO enjoy the sport as long as possible.
These occasions tend to improve a mans
powers, too, as he always
INDUCES in remarks of more or less vebe-
nence, indicative of his intense enjoyment
Of the fun. As before observed, last night
was that sort of night, only little more
10, the breezes from the north being fol-
owed with considerable fall of snow.
A great many years ago, before ice in the
summer season had come to be a necessity,
Jut was just beginning to be housed up and
lsed in the large cities as luxury, q good
iescon from a rural Connecticut town went
% New York to celebrate the Fourth of
July. 1t was his misfortune 10 celebrate a
title too much. He got intoxicated. News
hereof followed him home, and he was
allied up before the Church for discipline.
The deacon confessed his fault. He said
be day was hot, and he went into hotel
where there was a bowl |
# punch, aud the lemons and ice |
ooked so cool and inviting that
he drank some; it tasted so good and the
&c refreshed him so that he took some !
more, and finally he took so mich that he |
vas ashamed to say, he became iutoxica-
ed. He sat down. There was mo- |
nent's hush, and then an angular brother |
t the rear of the meeting rose and said: |
I'm satisfied with the deacon's explanation |
bout bis getting drunk. He confesses it |
nd says he's sorry. That's all right. |
Any body's liable to do that. But when the |
eacon comes into this 'ere meetin' and !
alks about SEEM ice in July, go for hay
a. him jerked out for lyin'."
