The San Francisco Alta tells how a
buxom widow, who was w0ced and
won by a young man short time
since, discovered a disposition ON his
part to he off with the old love SO that
he could take u new. She procured
u pistol, marriage license and the
services Of minister, and sent for
the young Lothario. Upon his COM
ing she whispered in his ear in dulcet
tones: Marry or die!" She had
prepared for a marriage or funeral,
and wasn't going to be disappointed,
s,nd wanted an Immediate answer, as
the preacher was waiting to perform
the marriage ceremony or preach the
funeral sermon. Love triumphed tor
rather, perhaps, we should say the
fear Of death), and there was a mar
rage in haste. Divorce suit now com

TIE POETS CORNER,
The Lady-Bug md the Ant.

- NV AAaANAy SA1se6 sHAASA eaAO 1AAA ss
The lady-bug sat in the roses heart
And smiled with pride and scOrn,
As she saw plain-lrcssed ant so by
With o heavy grain Of corn
So she drew the curtains OF damask round,
And adjusted her silken vest,
Making her glass Of drop of dew
That lay in roses breast.
Then she laughed so loud that the ant looked
up
And seeing her naughty face,
Took no more notice, hut travelled on
At the same industrious pace;
But sudden blast Of autumn came
And rudely swept the ground,
And down the rose with the lady-bug bent
And scattered its leaves around.
Then the homeless lady was much amazed,
For she knew not where to go,
And hoarse Novembers early blast
Had brought with it rain and snow;
Her wings were chilled. her feet were cold,
And she wished for the ants warm cell;
And what ehe did in the wintry storm,
I'm sure I can not tell.
But tho careful ant was in her nest,
With the little ones by her side;
She taught them all like herself to toll,
Nor mind the sneer of pride
And / thought as sat at the close Of day
Eating my bread and milk,
Twas wiser to work and improve the time
Than to be idle and dress in silk.

One OF the most amusing occurrences
Of the day, saysthe West Baton Rou, g
Sugar Planter. is in persons of every
parish loudly denouncing Gov. Kellogg
for everything vile their vocabulary
can suggest, and then boiling off to
New Orleans themselves, or sending
others, to ask favors from him. Of
course they succeed When these
same men are at home, they recognize
no one but Col. McEnery as Gov
ernor-they won't pay taxes-enioin
all Gov. Kellogg's appointees and in
every way attempt to thwart the will
Of the Executive, but when they get
q dose they don't like, the panacea
for their ills is an appeal to Gov. Kel-
logs to relieve them. They won't
acknowledge him in one way and yet
do in another. 49, Gov. Kellogg. no
doubt, has happy time listening to
such s0reheals.

this language:
THE grand days Of oratory are over
The future may give birth to men who

for oratory can never be lost Ehlls
liberty survives, but for all this, is
glory, power and pride have passed away
forever. A power mightier than an
army of orators has arisen which hal
dwarfed their genius aud lowered then
TO the level Of ordinary mortals, and
which is changing the whole world. The
mower of the orator sank when the print
inc press arose. The orator speaks to .
thousand; the press to hundreds Of thou
sands-the former rarely, the latter
every day. The words Of the orator dc
with the sound that voices them the
words of the press live forever Inc
orators are listened to by few OF an
evening, and the press sends even their
words 10 the whole world next day; Il
the press then does honestly its duty
with its far greater powers aad i9DoIs
for the welfare Of the people, the honor
Of the Nation, and the glory OF God, We
may be content that the days OF oratory

The English papers are masking the
most of an incident that occurred IN the
House of Commons few days ago, II
which an apparently authoritative deei
sion was reached upon the pronunela'
ton of Mr. pisraeli's name, the author
ity being no less 0 person than DIS
raeli himself. Mr.. Disraeli had coca
sion, in a speech that be was making. a.
the time, to read from document which
had been received from the Queen, snc
in which his own name appeared. lie
read his name out with much precision
forming . dipthoug as it were otthe ae
therein, and the Whole, as Issuing IRON
his mouth, rhymed with Bailey. Tins
settles the matter to certain extent
but there is always room for argument as
to whether Mr.. Disraeli knows how e
pronounce his own patronymic.
