A Tennessee Romance.


He was Young, he was fair, and he parted
his hair, like the average beau in the middle;
he was proud, he was bold, but the truth must
be told, he played like tiend on the hadie'
Barring his voice. he was everything nice,
and his heart was SO loving ana tehuei' liu'
he always turned pale when he trod on me
tail of the cat lying down by the tenacr. lie
cIerked in a store, and the way that he tore
off calico, leans and brown sheeting, would
have tickled calf, and make the brute laugh
in the face of quarterly heetihg' ne cut
"A dash with darling mouslaChe, "hich he
learned to adore and cherish: Tor one girl had
SAID, while she dropped her proud head, that
'twould kill her to see the thing perish. On
SUNDAYS he'd search the straight road to the
church. unheeding the voice of the scorner !;
and demurey he sat, like young tabby cat,
with the saints in the amen corner. He sang
ike bird, and his sweet voice was heard
fairly Juggling away at long meter; and we
sneak but the truth, when we say that this
youth could outsing hungry mosquito.
She was young, she was fair and she
scrambled her hair like the average bell of
the city; she was proud, but not bold, yet the
ruth must be ;old, the way she chewed wax
was pity. Barring this vice, she was every
thing nice, and the world admired her hustle;
and the Fayetteville boys, being Gained by
the noise, walked miles to hear 1t rattle. She
cut quite swell, did this waXchewing bell,
and men flocked in crowds to meet her; but
she gave them the shirk, for she loved the
young clerk, who sang like hungry mos,
quito. SO she hemmed and she hawed, and
she sighed and she "chawed," till her heart
and her jaws were broken; and she walked
by his store, while he stood at the door await
ing some loving token. She raised up her
eyes with mock surprise, and tried TO enact
the scorner; but, to tell the truth, she grtnaed
at the youth who loved the amen corner
They met-alas! what came TO pass
was soft and sweet and precious; they wooed
they Cooed, he talked, she Chewed-O, how
they loved, good gracious! They had to part
he rose to start; her grief cannot be painted;
these are the facts; she swallowed her wax

thinks the youth thus bitten. He sings no
more, as oft of yore-he gave that girl the
mittep.
She pinned apace, her pretty face looked
slender and deiected her father kind, but
somewhat blind, beheld her and reflected.
His income tax he spent for waX-she smiled

Malapropos Nisitois.

Not many weeks age Il wealthy and mid.
! dle.agcd bachelor of San Francisco espouSed
one of the iairest daughters of that city; ard
the wedding was celebrated in one of the
most fashionable churches ana in the pres
ence Of an assembly Of the creme de la
creme" of San Francisco society. The bride
groom was Forty-niner, and had once been
anything but IL sober industrious cil!zen.
There had been rumors to the effect that when
he made the overland journey he left behind
in "the states" wife and two children, and
these rumors were awkwardly revived when
his recent marriage was first announced But
nothing came Of the gossip. The Forty'niner
was now unden!ably rich and respectable and
people were generally disposed to pass over
his antecedents without subjecting them to a
scrutiny thatmight prove dlsagreeabie. And
so the wedding day arrived.
When the FOrty-niner and his bride turned
from their places in front of the altar, after
the clergyman had pronounced them man and
wife, the spectators were astounded to see
tall, diSmal-looking and sable-habited man
rise from place in one of the front peWs, ap-
proach the bridegroom, and gently tap INN
on the shoulder The effect of this proceed
ing on the Fortyniner was rather singular,
for his cOuntenancc assumed ghast!y OK
PRESTON and he quickly resigned his newly

The Forty-niner struggled hard to conceal
his emotion, and finally said:
II assure you, sir, that-that-what IN
thunder did you come at such time as TINS
for?"
"a moment will suffice" replied the Tuner
al-looking gentleman firmly; please step
into the pew"
The Forty miner did SO, while the assem-,
bled company busted itself in winking and
whispering, and looking alternately at the
fanhng bride and the agonlzed bridegroom
"When man gets married, sir" said the
dismal gentleman, at is necessary for him
to look with prudence upon the future, and
he cannot begin too soon. Now, sir, lot in

The sentence was never finished. There
was q chorus of female shrieks, and gener-
al rush of gentlemen, as the Forty-niner was
suddenly observed to seize his interviewer by
the collar, and kick him into the aisle. The
enterprising cemetery agent was quickly dis
posed Of, the trembling bride regained her
color and composure, and thereafter all went
merry as a marriage bell"

We have already mentioned that old Mr..
COllamore, who goes to our church, is very
deaf Last Sunday, in the midst of the ser
vices, Mr.. Hof, who sits Immediately be-
hind Mr.. CollamOre, saw Il spider travelling
over the latter's balk head. His first impulse
was to nudge him and tell him about it; but
he remembered that Collamore was deaf, SO
he lifted up his hand and brushed the spider
off. lIoif didn't aim quite high enough, and
consequently in his nervousness, he hit Gala
more quite severe blow; the old man turned
around in a rage to see who had dared to take
such liberty with him, and Hotf began TO
explain with gestures the cause OF the occur
renee But Callamore, il loud voice de-
manded what he meant. 1t was very painful
for HoE The eyes Of the whole congrega-
ton were upon HIM, and he grew red IN the
face, and in desperation exclaimed:
There was a spider on your headN
"A white place on my head, hey? S'pose'n
there is, what's that to your" said Collamore.
You'll know what it is to be bald-headed
yourself, some day"
ut was a spider" shrieked Hoff, while the
congregation smiled and the Precipitation be
gan to roll off his face,
Certainly It's wider" said Collamore, sand
it's got more in it than yours But you let it
alone--do you mind? You letmy head alone
In church"
"Mr Collamore," shrleked Hotf "there was
a bug on your head, and brushed it otf-this
way"
The old man thought he was going to fight
him then and there, and hurting his hymn
book at Hol, he seized the kneeling stool on
the floor of the pew, and was about to bang
Mr.. uoh, when the sexton intertered. An
explanation was written on a fly leaf of the
hymn book, whereupon Mr.. Collamore apol-
ogizcd in boisterous voice, and resumed his
seat Then the services proceeded. They
think of asking Mr.. Collamore to worship
elsewhere Ddnbttry Macs.
