Past. Present and Future.

A well-known wealthy Partisan has
had himself painted by an eminent ar
tist-"As he was" GAS he is" and
s'As he will be-" GAS he was" repre-
sents him, at the age of twenty-five, a
poor wretch in ragged garments, with
his toes peeping through holes IN his
shoes sinking, f-famished, by the
side of a wall. GAS he is % figures him
fat and jolly as an alderman, we'll
dressed, with gold chains decking his
waistcoat, and diamond rings blazing
on his fingers. And, "As he will be, J"
he is made hideous corpse. Not the
least singular feature of such singu-
lar freak is the fact that he has the
paintings hung in his drawing-room.

Rules for COurtship.

Courtship is pleasant fancy
game, frequently played between
the opposite sexes, at private tables,
and much liked by the ladies. You
commence with a "miss," first talk
ing your "cue" from your fair chal-
lenger's eyes. Be careful not to
''force" too much it is better to
"follow." Never struggle for the
'lead';" always yield to the lady.
If she keeps you at arms length,
use the Bridge of Signs" Ex-
plain to her the delicate man9uveIs
of the game-especially the advan-
tage of the "kiss," which you can
illustrate by concussing the "two
reds" Observe how she "banks,"
and where-this is important
Tell her what is meant by "hugging
the cushion" and hint modestly at
the kind of cushion you would like
to hug. If she scratches" don't
mind it, but play safety" or, if
you have a chance, "run;" but
when you have Favorable open
ing" make a "bold offer" at every
"hazard." Should you have "bad
luck" try again you may succeed
in the "long run" Never think of
"pocketing a BALI in your own
head, if disappointed. The maxim
holds good in courtship as in bill
lizards, that it is madness to make a
"shot" by which you are sure to
"hole yourself" Much depends
upon "coaxing' in this pastine.-I
Broadcloth, by faithfully attending
to the above hints, will generally

1t is a mistaken idea, entertain
ed by many, that riches are necess-
airy to perfect happiness. 1t is
scarcely necessary to state fact so
well understood, that many men
and women, possessed of great
wealth, are exceedingly unhappy.
A thousand things occur, in the
fluctuations and busy scenes of life,
to bring sorrow and discomfort to
the homes of the rich as well as
to those of the poor. 1t is in
homes of people of moderate means
as rule that happiness is found.
The highest riches do not con-
sist in princely income ; there is
greater wealth than this. It con-
sists in a good constitution,
good digestion, good heart, stout
limbs, a sound mind and q clear
conscience. Some one says that
good bones are better than gold,
tough muscles than silver, and
nerves that flash fire, and carry
energy to every function are better
than houses and lands. Better
than money is good disposition !:
and that man is rich who has gene
rous impulses, a noble soul, and
who is hopeful and cheerful, and
who has the moral courage to keep
the even tenor Of his way, what
ever may betide him. Such q man
is rich, though not accounted so
when measured by money stand
ard, but he stands immeasurably
higher, in point of true worth, than
the avaricious cormorant, whose
only claim to consideration con-
sists in his money-bags. ~

Hint 10 Young Men.

In 1855 young gentleman regis
tered his name at the largest hotel
in the city of Louisville, Ky. He
had a pretty good wardrobe, such
as young men usually have, includ-
ing a gold watch and chain. He
was in search of occupation. At
the expiration of two weeks he
took an inventory of his personal
effects: "Out of work and no
business" He had a brief inter-
view with the proprietor of the
hotel. His trunk was left as securi-
ty for his board bill; he hypothe-
Gated his watch for the loan of SO,
and having kissed the tip end of
his coral fingers to kind and SYM
pathetic landlord he "went diving
for bottom" He found "bottom"
on Water street, where a steamer
was being discharged of cotton by
Dutchmen, Negroes and Yankees.
Having purchased pair of heavy
boots, blue shirt and overalls, he
commenced rolling and piling cot
ton at the rate of five cents per
bale. In three weeks he was pro-
NOTED to the position of marker
with salary of s45 per month, al
at the expiration of nine month:
he had right to grow mellow over
salary of 1925 per month. To
day the gentleman is one of the
largest business operators in Bay
Street.
