Courtship.

There are certain young ladies in
the world (writes a philosopher who
hold peculiar notions as to the atten-
tion they receive from gentlemen.
They seem to think that if a man is
polite and agreeable to them, if he
appears to take pleasure in their So
cicty, and calls frequently, that he is
bound to propose marriage. We live
in a fast age, and it would almost
seem that courtship must be conduct
cd with the same railroad speed as
other things. Marriage is serious
matter, requiring long and earnest
consideration. Two young people
may be amiable, afectionate in dis
position, and yet, because their tastes
do not assimilate, they will live q
very unhappy life together. How
are these young folks to find out each
others temper and disposition if it
is not by time spent in each others
company before marriage? There
can be no doubt that the numerous
!4snheppy marriages which are made
in the present day arises entirely
from the fact that the Sourtship is so
short. Marriage is not regarded
with sufficient reverence; it is often
hurriedly entered into and speedily
repented. Truth compcls US to state
that this is caused in 4 great meas
ure by young ladies.
As We have just, stated, they ap-
pear to think that if a man is polite
and agreeable to them he is in love,
and is bound at once to declare his
intentions. They forget that in
seeking for wife man ought to
look for something more than bright
eyes, a brilliant complexion, and
white teeth.

A Plucky Woman.

The vicksburg Herald relates the
following incident: 1t was one Of
the handsomest packets on the river,
and among the passcngcrs,bound for
vicksburg was a Georgian and his
wife, who have relatives in Missis-
sippi.
lie was a large-sizcd, handsome
looking man, and she wasa pleasant
looking woman with blue eyes and
short chestnut curls. One would
have said that she wouldhavcscrcam,
cd at the tilt of the boat.
He sat smoking.Nith other gentle,
men after she had rctireds TO her State
room, and the cabin was entirely
clear Of ladies, when some one propos-
cd a game OF cards. In ten minutes
after half a dozen men were shutting
cards over cabin tables, and the Geor,
gian was matched against a stranger
10 all on board. lie was a quiet,
courteous, wcll-drcsscd man, and had
been taken for a traveller in search Of
health. He waslucky with his cards,
but he did not propose playing tor
stakes. 1t was the nettled Georgian
who proposed it. He called himself
a champion hand at poker, and when
he found that he had met his equal
he determined to test the strangers
financial metal.
They had fifty dollars on the table
when the captain looked into the
cabin. Hc caught the Georsian's
eye and gave him to understand that
his opponent was a river blacklcs,
bu: the other gentlemen had dropped
their cards and crowded around,
money was up, and the information
had come too late. Besides, the
Georgian was tlattering himself that
he could teach the courteous blackleg
4 lesson.
It was 4 very quiet group around
the table, and after the play had con
tinucd for minutes the gentlemen
spoke in whispers, and some of them
were reminded of old times on the
Mississippi when gamblers had thcfull
run OF every boat.
The Georgian had luck with him
from the start, and, while. he looked
smiling and confident, the gambler
appeared togrow excited and uneasy
His money was raked across the table
until the Georgian had two hundred
dollars in srecnbacks before him.
The stakes had been light up to this
TING, both men seeming to fear each
others skill the Georgian proposed
to increase them and the gambler
agreed. In ten minutes the latter
had his two hundred dollars back
Luck had turned. The Georgian
lost twenty dollars, then fifty dollars
and eighty dollars, then one hundred
dollars.
The gamblers face wore quiet
smile the Georgian became nervous
His hands trcmblcd as he held W
his cards, and his face VISA wet with
moisture.
"Comc, gentlemen" said one of the
group, "lct's have general hand fol
amusement and then turn in"
The Georgian looked upwith a fix
ed glance, and replied:
81 have lost one hundred dollars
he must give me fair show"

1t is not well for us to cherish the
habit Of dwelling much on the faults

We live. 1t makes US more critical
