JEFF. DarIs' First Sweetheart.

There is living in Detroit, says an
exchange, a venerable and respected
lady, who, to those who know her,
is the heroine of strange story.
She may be seen almost any day on
the streets, hurrying from her tour
of shopping back to her pleasant
little home where. over her needle
and thread, her fancies have full
play, and memory is supreme. She
is a woman of rare intellect and
great cultivation a charming conver-
sationalist and an exemplary Chris
tian. She has been twice married
and twice a widow, and now, as
time is drawing his silver tracings
through her hair, she moves alone.
The loved ones of the past are gone.
Her interests and her affections draw
her toward the world of spirits
She, was in her young days, the
betrothed Of Jefferson Davis. Why
they were never married is not
known. She treasures too dearly
the credit of the past to open it to
other eyes. It may be that to her
near and dear ones she tells the
story. 1 am not among them, and

ever, whatever may have prevented
the consumation of their early plans,
she and the rebel President have
never lost their regard for each
other. They still exchange letters,
and watch over each others welfare.
Two such lives, running in such diff
ferent channels. and yet having the
sympathy of heart and interest,
must have much to attract each other.
His has been a life of splendid
and ignoble failures
full of excitement and thrilling
episodes. Hers, having its own
borne like woman,
has been quiet and inobtrusive, but,
prehaps, as wonderful as his. When
pass her on the street, or see her
at church, felt like running to her
and asking for her story. l know
it would be interesting. The sweet
heart of Jefferson Davis Who
would not like to go back TO his plot
-ings for power, and his struggle in
behalf of treason, and learn some
thing more of his boyhood, and how
he acted when in love?

An Adventure with a Panler.

It was Meyers turn, said Max
Adder. for invention that caused the
disaster. Meyer designed a new
kind of patent inflated gossamer
hustle for ladies. 1t was a thin
bag of India-rubber. which was to be
inflated with gas to give it the prop
er distension and sufficient lightness.
When the model was complete, Mrs.
Meyer determined TO try it. She
went into the yard and tied the ma
chine under her dress, while Meyer
turned on the kitchen gas to fill the
bag. 1t worked we'll enough for 8
few moments, when all at once Mrs.
Meyer began to ascend with fright
ful rapidity. She had barely time
to scream down to Moyer to put the
children to bed early, and tell Mary
Jane to set bread. and the next in
slant she was two miles beyond the
snow-line. 1t was embarrassing for
Mrs. Moyer-very embarrassing
especially as she could not turn
round to the hustle to turn off the
gas in order to come down. So she
doated about up there among thun-
der-storms and clouds, and crows
and aurora borealises, for several
hours, enjoying the scenery and
studying the currents, aad wishing
she had brought her muff and a book
to read. Then she commenced to
descend gradually, until she came
to within a couple OF hundred feet
of the ground. She then screamed
some as she floated along. and sew
eral enthusiastic students Of natural
history tried to bring herdown with
shot-guns, under the impression that
she was some new variety of ostrich
or fiamingo. But a sudden gust of
wind struck Mrs. Meyer and blew
her against the Presbyterian Church
steeple, with such force that the In
fated gossamer hustle exploded vio-
lently, impressing the sexton with
the conviction that the sacred edifioe
had been struck by lightning. But
when he came out and saw Mrs.
Meyer caught by her panier on the
weathercock, with her parasol point
ing east or west as the wind shifted.
he comprehended the situation. 1t
cost $500 to build scaffolding to
get Mrs. Meyer down. and even then
Meyer did not introduce his hustle
into the market. lie will sell his
patent right cheap. Mrs. Meyer
wants him to.

TRAP TO CATCH HUSBAND
An Incident of Our Civil Wharf.-The
Confession and Kiss.

Sunset in the tropics. Sunset on
the outskirts Of Louisiana forest
stately, solemn. What chaos Of
noble color, what an Eden Of blossom
and of odor, what royal prodigality
Of untrammeled life. The spot
where 4 party Of tourists had en-
camped themselves for the night was
at the height of some 800 or 400 feet
above the level Of the sea and
glowing sweep Of low land country
yellow maize fields, orchard, vii
lagos, and gardens-stretch away
league beyond league before them.
The party which made up this en-
campment consisted Of four men
Northerners on a tour of pleasure
and observation. Three were gentle
men of wealth; but the fourth-Jer-
rold Gray-was dependent nephew
of one of the rich trio. His uncle
had educated him, and now, at the
end Of his collegiate course, had
taken him on this tour. At its con-
clusion Jerrold was to choose a pro-
fessiOn, and commence singIe-handed
the battle Of life. His uncle had
number of children, so that Jerrold
could not reasonably expect to in
herit anything, and his independence
prompted him to decline further
pecuniary aid.
Leaving his companions cooking
the supper, in true camp fashion,
Jerrold strolled off to view the
panaorma that was stretched beneath
the surrounding hill. AS he stood
listlessly leaning against a tree he
woke the echoes of a chance song.
He was really a fine singer, possess
ed of a highly-cultivated voice, and
sang with all the abandon of pre-
sumed solitude. He did not see the
bright, black eyes that were watch
ing him, nor the dainty ears that
were listening, both of which be-
longed to one of the wealthiest and
prettiest heiresses in Louisiana. She
sat on splendid horse, and made a
picture that, had Jerrold seen it,
would have eclipsed the opposite
landscape upon which he was gazing.
She waited there, fascinated, aud
trusting TO the shelter of the trees
until he turned and retraced his
steps. But suddenly, in the very
height of his song, his glance fell on

he saddle, and regarding him with

Profanity.

Why will man take the name OF
God in vain 2 What possible ad-
vantage is to be gained by it? And
yet this wanton, vulgar sin of pro-
family is evidently on the increase.
Oaths fall upon the ears in the cars
and at the corners OF, the street.
There are among us not a few who
feel that a simple assertion or plain
statement of obvious fact will pass
for nothing, unless they swear to its
truth by all the names OF the Deity.
and blister their lips with every
variety Of hot and sulphurous oaths.
If we observe such persons closely,
we shall generally find that the fierce
ness Of their profanity is in inverse
ratio to the affluence of their ideas
We venture to affirm that the pro-
fanest men Within the circle of your
knowledge. are all afflicted with a
chronic weakness Of the intellect.
The utterance of an oath. though it
may prevent vacuum in sound, is
no indication of sense. 1t requires
no genius to swear The reckless
taking Of sacred names in vain. is as
little characteristic Of true indepen.
dence of thought as it is Of high moral
culture. In this breathing and beau
tiful world, filed as it were, with
the presence of the Deity, and fra
grant with its incense from a thous-
and affairs Of praise, it would be no
seryility should we catch the spirit
of reverent worshippers, and illus
trate in ourselves the sentiment that
the Christian is the highest state of
man.

In this hot season, it is delightful
to know that somewhere the mercury
is not in the eighties and nineties.
At Sandwich, New Hampshire, there
is a snow drift three feet deep with
honeysuckle blossoms near it, and
Iuxuriant foliage above The slope
of Black Mountain, Lake George,
also bears a snow drift. We do not
have these things here, but it is de-
licious to read about them.

Doftrpg,
Spouse OF Sorrow After q BlyOrce


pOuse or Sorrow After & DIYOTce.
[From the Reese River Reveine.l
Mrs. Addie was fat-adlpose,
With (Tennyson's) tip-tilted nose
And she came into court
With sort Of cavOrt,
And 4 countenance red as a rose.
Her duck Of a bonnet was small,
Tipped forward till ready to fall
Like the Mother Goose Humpty,
Of patronyme Dumpty,
Who couldn't stay up on the wall.
She came into court, and she sat
In a chair-it was full (she was fat,)
With stare at the miners,
And penny-a-liners,
And lawyers, and Judge, and all that.
She started with the sniingest stare
At the hoodlums surrounding her there
And ey'ry one said,
By the toss of her head,
She'd discount the sweet Mrs. Fair.
One miner Of old '49
Who'd panned out the bloom of his mine
In a high-colcred nose,
Said eff she aint a rose,
Just say I amt much on opine."
The Sheriff cried ''Silence y The court
Inquired if she'd argue tort.
Her counsel said ''Yes,"
That she wanted redress,
And have it she certainly ort.
The man that had married her couldn't,
Or didn't, or hadn't, or wouldn't,
Support the petitioner,
Clothe, feed, nor physician her
And stay with him longer she shouldn't.
He hadn't been light in iI-treatin' her,
But possibly never had beaten her
(Here old 20
To his par5' did opine,
''He might have IS easily eaten her.'9
These points were all read in rotation
a form Of su-per-e-ro-gation-
And no one replying,
Nor any denying,
She won her decree like tarnation.
Then Addie went out as she entered,
The object wEece all eyes We're centered,
As gushing damsel,
Restored to be Mam'sene,
As ever to wedlock dissenterd.
No word had the court Of hen-peck heard,
Nor how the poor man had been checkered;
But the law took its course
In handy divorce,
And you cannot go back on the record.
It's getting as common as lying,
This slipping the moose without trying;
And marriages soon
May reyolve with the moon,
And keer, all the furniture flying
When bad, there is nothing uutruer
Than some styles of masculine wooer:
But usually there
Il reason to swear
That the dOue's rather worse than the doer

A Dutchman went to the lottery
Office in Louisville, the other day;
and inquired for ticket No. 0. He
either wanted 9, or 999, or 9,999, or
99,999 But no other number would
satisfy him. On inquiry as to his
reasons for this particular number,
the following facts in his life were
learned;
He came to this country when .
years old. After he had been here 9
years he got married. Nine months
after the wedding his wife gave him
a child. The baby when Q days old
was christened He lived with his
wife 8 years, and during that period
she presented him with . children.
Then he had a fuss with her, and she
bunged him over the head 9 times
with the staye of beer keg, from
the effects of which he lay in bed 8
days. He left that wife then, and
had been a grasswidower just years
on the day he applied for a ticket.
He hoped with ticket No. 8 to draw
money enough to recuperate his
finances, which were reduced to 50,
which he offered for the ticket. On
being informed that there was no
ticket remaining the number of which
was composed entirely of 9's, he
looked detected, but Immediately
went out and drank 9 glasses ofbeer.
Then he returned and said he would
wait until only 8 tickets were left,
and then take them all.

Origin of "Han Columbia


In the ''Recollectiens of Washing
ton,' just published. occurs the fol-
lowing anecdote:
The song of Hail Columbia
adapted in measure to the "Presi-
dents March, was written by Jo-
seph Hopkinson. of Philadelphia, in
1798. At that time war with France
was expected, and a patriotic feel
ing pervaded the community. Mr..
Fox, young singer and actor, called
upon Hoplinson one morning and
said: Tomorrow evening is ap-
pointed for my benefit at the theatre.
Not single box has been taken and
/ fear there will be a thin house -
If you will write me some patriotic
verses to the tune of the Presidents
March I feel sure of a full house.
Several about the theatre have at
tempted it. but they have come to
the conclusion that it cannot be
done; yet / think you may succeed"
Mr.. Hopkinson retired to his study,
wrote the first verse and chorus, and
submitted them to Mr. Fox, who
sang them to a harpischord accom-
paniment. The tune and the words
harmonized. The song was soon fin
ished, and that evening the young
actor received it, The next morn
ing the placards announced that Mr.
Fox would give anew patriotic song.
The.house was crowded-the song
was sung-the audience delighted.
Eight times it was called for and re-
peated, and when sung the ninth
time, the whole audience stood up
and joined in the chorus. Night af-
ter night, Hail Columbia was ap-
plauded in the theatre, and in q few
days was the universal song of the
boys in the streets. Such was. the
origin of our national song, Hail
Columbia"
