TEE WAY TO woo.

Don't be in too great hurry;
Hurries never pay;
Take yeur time-a wary general
Always feels his way.
Do not pull your line too quickly,
Rather let it play.
Take her sometimes to concert
Sometimes to ball;
Sometimes spend a pleasant evening
Sometimes only call;
Sometimes twill be far the wisest
Not go at all!
Do not meet your would-be rivals
z With jealous frown;
Show her that you don't care two-penee
For any man in town.
Praise her other beaux; then surely
She viii ran them down.
Send her presents not too costly
Triaes light as air;
Dainty fruits 70 please hers pasase;
Flowers for her hair
Something that will show you chose il
Fairest for the fair.
Vex her sometimes Sunshine
Is so very tame
Just little dash Of water
Brightens up fame;
Loyeshat doesn't fzz and splutter
Isn't worth the name.
Then at last, some quiet evening,
{Moonlit nights are stale,)
Drop into her cosy psrlor,
Looking rather pale.
Strive to hide your woe unuttered,
8But be sure to fail.
Jast hint Of distant journey
-&As secret haif confessed;
Darkly speak Of hidden sorrow
That forbids you rest;
Whisper that 'tis hard to leave her
Bat perhaps, 'tis best.
Then if she should blush and tremble
With shy surprise
If there Is no rougish sparkle
Twinkling in her eyes
Then-then tell the old, old story
Told first meath Edeu's skies.

A NEGRO WITNESS I'm A
GEORGIA LAWSUIT.

It was peace-warrant case, be-
tween couple of colored gentlemen
before a Georgia justice of the
peace. I sauntered into the court
room just in time to hear Uncle Zip,
the grizzle-headed old darkey who
was prosecuting, give his evidence
from the witness stand.
In response to a question from
the Court old Zip gave his trous-
ers an extra hitch and turned
loose.

tin wild Tilda, an she war a.settin'
wild me; an, et' de troof mus be tcze,

'Go on" said the Court.

house. I war settin-a-settin' in

in de do; an I war a-settin as I

"Never mind about that" said
the justice impatiently. 'Go on
with your story"
''Yassur. Well den, yer see,
Tilda, she war a. a.settin' in de do;
an I were a settin' in de do
'What happened next?" asked
His Honor.
"Why muffin neber happened

''Oh! bother ;" interrupted the
Court, "Go ahead and make out
your case. Confne yourself to the
question"
''Yassur. Well, ef yer mus hab
it, I war arsettin between um"-
"Between who ?" interrogated the
court.
"Between who? Oh? yassur,' p
continued the exasperating witness.

'Bless your soul, yes!" said the
Juitice, very emphaticauy.

seizing ponderous law-book .
''You've got to stop that eyerlast

Tell me at once how many of you
were at this woman's house."
'Dat's ies' what I'm comm at, "
said old Zip, very calmly. eyer

"Good!' remarked the court.

'Dry up!' said the Court.
'Now tell us where the defendant

Dunno war he war;" said Zip,
scratching his head doubtfully.

'Do you mean to say?' asked
the Court, with a rising infection.
"that the defendant wasn't pres

"sartinly," replied Zip. "Ain't

"Mr. Bailif, adjourn this court p
shouted His Honor, purple with in
dignation. "And make these parties
settle their difficulty out in the bach
yard"
The investigation came to an alb
rupt close, and the last I saw o:
old Zip he was complaining loudly
because he couldn't tell the en-
tire history Of his case-W p

The Richmond Enquirer is sever in its criti-

Centennial celebration at the University. 1t
says :-"Gen. John s. Preston address before
the alumni of the University of Virginia was
IL many respects remarkable. 1t was remarka-
BILE for its brilliancy and It's bad taste; for its
petulence and its pomposity; for its intoIer
ance and its treason. The address of Gen
Preston is alike unjust to his own admitted
ability and to the people aud the institution on
whose behalf it Was made. While the College
commencements elsewhere throughout the
country are instinct with peace, tolerance and
good will, it is a shame that our leading South
ern University should even for day be prosti-
tuted to uses which every sensible Vlrgiuiau
