What Beset A Modest
Youth in a Car.
From the St. Louis Democrat.

Anexceedingly modest young
man, dressed in a new suit of
broadcloth, entered an Olive
street car yesterday, and blush
ingly took a seat by anursewith
a baby in her arms. The moth
er of the babe, a young woman
Iof vivaciOus disposition, and
with visual orbs somewhat mar
red by strabismus, had a seat on
the opposite side of the car,
where she could gaze fondly
upon her offspring and mark
the play of its cherub counte-
ance. The "chick-a-biddy"
was exhilarated by the gentle
rocking of the bob-tail, and
looked at its mother and crow
ed and thrust its fists into it's
mouth. The mother responded
by tender glance at the "su-
gar-pum," but to the bashful
young man it seemed that her
eyes were fixed directly upon
him, and he blushed scarlet and
wiped his face with his hand
kerchief. 'Is it fond of its new
'cosey?" exclaimed the tender
parent, unconscious cf the pres
.ence of all except her child.
Her face was aglow with in
tense affection, and her eyes
lighted up with the fire of love
and devotion but, alas! they
were looking the wrong dirrec-
ton, and beamed upon the mod
est young man, as he thought,
with too much freedom. He
wriggled in his seat and tried
to turn away, but another lady
was at his left, and he could not
avoid the gaze of the admiring
woman opposite. '1t will be
a little man by and by, and
have a nicey- mustace when it
gets older, and it will go to see
the girls and fiirt with them;
won't you, darling?' And the
eyes blazed and burned, and
seemed to devour the face of
the young man with increasing
appetite. "Does it want a stick
of candy? Well. its muzzle'll
get it some when she gets out at
the corner; so don't cry my little
The young man was
now in a high Perspiration, and,
being unable to stand it any lon
ger, seized the strap, and, giving
the bell a dozen vigorous jerks,
rushed frantically from the car.
He told the first acquaintance
that he met that a beautiful girl
had made to him love in the car,

Established December 18th, 1850,
A Lazy Man.

We extract the piece below from
an exchange. Our first impulse
on reading it was to strike out the
word Germantown and insert
Fayetteville, but we forbear to do
so for fear that some ofour friends
might consider it personal:
There is a man in German
town who is lazy. He is not re-
sponsible for it. He cannot help it..
He was born tired and it will
take him all his life to get res
ted. Death has no terror for
him. The grave is a refuge. lie
is fond of hearing others sing the
hymn commencing, "There is
rest tor the weary" He does not
sing it himself for to sing requires
exertion. He would willingly be-
lieve the French doctrine Death
is an eternal Sleep" tor he is fond
of sleeping. When tie judg.
ment day arrives and Gabriel
sounds the trumpet this man will
turn over in the grave and say,
SIS that you, Gabe? just put
that horn away; it isn't time to
get up yet, is it?" When the first
snow fell the other day he stood
at his gate aud looked ruefully at
the sidewalk. "Going to clean
the snow off, Mr.. P-d," in
quired a neighbor. 20, no." was
the answer, "The sun will be
around here presently and melt
it." A few days afterwards it
showed again and then he re-
marked, 81 knew it would be of
no use to clean that pavement of.
| knew it was going to snow
again" 1t is ten o'clock in the
morning before his wife can get
him out. He says if had he theen,
gy he once possessed he would
set up and make the fires. But
he hasn't, None of his friends
can remember when he had.
Some of them have known him
since his birth. too.

House of Commons; whence
the overthrow Of the Kings at
Sparta but from the Ephori, and
by what was the Senate at Rome
weakened and triumphed over
but by the tribunes? To what
was the destruction of Cartha-
ginian Senate due but to the
unconstitutional influence of
the popular element, and from
what is the overthrow of the
Senate Of the United States ap-
pretended by the Federalist, but
from the usurped power of the
House of Representatives?
Then we are led to believe
that the natural tendency Of Re
publics is to centralization.-
The members Of a confederate
Republic may succeed in split
ting off from the Republic, and
maintaining q temporary indie
pendence. either in the form of
individual sovereignties or sep
arate confederacies, yet such a
dissolution must either begin
with or terminate in bloodshed,
or culminate in the subsection
of the weaker to the dominion
Of their more powerful neigh
bors. Until material changes
have been produced in the reli-
giOus and intellectual world we
may look for the history of pre-
ceding ages to repeat itself in
the political sphere. The insti-
tuition of popular govern
ment is undoubtedly as much
the elimination of political sci
ence, as the drama is the flower
of poetic art. As the latter is
the natural growth Of artistic
culture, so the former will
never attain perfection until it is
the normal development Of sci
entific investigation.

Something for the chil-
dren.

One of the greatest pleasures
which st. Nicholas brings to
its readers, is certainly the
monthly chapters of Miss Al
colts story. This time we
catch a delightful glimpse of
the ''Eight Cousins at home,
and in the very midst of the
confusion and riot produced by
the return of their sailor-uncle.
Just as interesting, also, is the
sight of Rose in her new fancy
costume, and the peep with her
/. into that curious room never
before explored, where she
makes a great discovery
But Rose is not the only
character in the March number
who meets with. remarkable
surprise, for in Mr.. .TrOwbridge's
serial the Young Surveyor is as
completely astonished by find
ing his stolen horse when and
where he does. If ever there
was horse-thief, the fellow
who captured ',Snowfoot" was
he! Itis a proof Of his cunning,
that Jack, after all his efforts
to find the missing animal, and
after his search has been at last
so strangely rewarded, is not
yet "out of the woods" and
seems to be threatened with an
other unexpected adventure.
Almost all boys and girls like
narratives of wars and battles,
and they will find story of this
in the poem called '9Ihe War
of the Rats and Mice" which is
every whit as thrilling in its
way as the deeds Of any favor
ite hero from Richard C9ur-de-
Leon to Jack the Giant-Killer.
The illustrations by Stephens
are admirable; one of them, a
true "battle-piece," representing
a tournament both exciting and
novel.
As for the rest of the num-
Der, we have several excellent
stories by Frank r. Stockston,
Amelia La Forge and Others,
sketches of travel and science
with illustrations, an article by
W. II. Ridening on the Naval
Academy at Annapolis,a French
story, two delightful poems by
Lucy Larcom and Mary b.
Bradley, and besides other
good things-the irrepressible
Jack-in-the-Pulpit, whose fun
and jokes are always full Of
wisdom.

Dramatic scene at the reading
of will: A rich dame who re-
Gently died at an advanced age at
Fontainebleau. left a will contain
ing, among others, bequess to
her physician of all the objects
contained in anoldoak chest of her
cabinet de toilette, for "his en-
lightened care and :he sage in
structions' which had enabled her
to live to such an advanced age.
There was great commotion
among the heirs when this clause
in the will was read, and greater
curiosity to know that treasures
had escaped them. The notary
handed the key to the doctor,
who on opening the chest found
all the drugs and potions that he
had ordered for his patient during
the past twenty years.

SIGNING WITH A Cross Per
sons who cannot write, sign their
name, as is we'll known, with the
mark or a cross. Such mark,
however, can be easily initiated,
and, how, in ordinary circum
stances, are forgeries to be detect
ed2 In the following picked from
an American newspaper l848),
there is perhaps a solution of the
difficulty. A wealthy merchant
in Chill could not write, and he
signed with a cross. A bill upon
him with forged cross, on being
presented for payment, was re-
fused. A lawsuit ensued. The
Judge before whome the case was
brought asked the merchant how
he could prove that the n,ark was
forgery. In reply, he said the
proof was secret which he
would reveal to him privately.
He,then explained, that, ia sign
ing with a cross, be drew the pen
along the side of his thumb, SO
that each limb of the cross was
the side of bis thumb in profile.
The proof was deemed satisfacto-
ry. The holder OF the bin vas
nonsuited.

An Elephant Battle.
From the New York Herald. ]


The wild animals at the Hip
podrome seem to have lost none
of their instinct in captivity.
Though Gagged and cribbed, do.
mesticated and trained, as they
necessarily are, these creatures
constantly betray their savage ma.
lures. The pair of rhinoceroses
qnarreled as soon as they met at
the Hippodrome, and were with
difficulty separated, while TIE
leopards a few days ago INDUCED
in a battle that ended in the death
of the weaker one. Yesterday
the gage of war was between the
elephants, a raceof enthusiastically
quiet and peaceable after domesti-
cation. One day this week the
management received from Eu-
rope a small female elephant
named Julia, and she was placed
il the long box appropriated to
that class of pachydermations.
The old and new members OF the
elephantine family appeared to
agree with each other very well
until yesterday afternoon. When
tie matinee performance was over
Julia was marched into the pen,
being placed next to an elephant
called Prince, who at once began
iondling his companion. Julia
resented his attentions and with a
blow of her proboscis knocked
him of his feet. Prince became
enraged at this treatment, and at
tackled Julia as soon as he recoV-
cred from his astonishment. The
struggle was a fierce one, and both
of the contestants uSe6 their
trunks and tusks with rare good
will, and the scene was so noisy
that the audience became some
what frightened. All of the ele.
plants trumpeted shrilly, and
their commotion led to much ex-
citement among the occupants of
the several cages in the menage-
rie., Before the watchful attend
ants could repair to the scene OF
the encounter Julia was badly
gored by her antagonist, and after
peace had been restored it was
found necessary to place her IN a
huge sling of canvas, as she had
sustained a severe wound In the
shoulder. TIE keepers do not
consider the unfortunate beast IN
any great danger, though the occur
ence is deeply deplOred. The fact
of such a battle taking place is
considered remarkable, as old hun
ters say that elephants have new
er been known to quarrel in q
menagerie before.

After all the labor and money

~ Some one in New York

81 suppose that after this

extraordinary interest Of the

the back numbers. A more
splendid feat has seldom been

the publishers are reprinting
