A young lady of this city, who seems
to be in a quandary as to how she should
conduct herselfin matter of love, writes
the following letter, we are creditably in-
formed, to the New York Ledger, and re-
ceives the answer, also given below:
Acting upon the presumption that
your advice will be equally valuable in
my case rs in many similar ones, ] seek
N, and state briefly the circumstances.
For the past year have been angaged TO
a gentleman whose home il rather remote
from that OF mine. and whose visits have
been like those of angels, and have,

conquers love. i literary verified in my
case; and while have too high sense Of
honor To break the engagement unfor-
tunantely made. vet | fear that a
union with the gentleman would but
entail life Of regret, which would be
nearly akin To misery. Now. valued
friend. with this view Of the case before
YOU. would YOU advise me to break the
engagement. or allow the marriage to be
contaminated: ! have, since meeting with

Tomorrow night the Berger Family
will appear at thcAtheneum. The troupe
since their last appearance in this city,
has been recognized and several attrac-
tive features added 10 it. This Organiza-
ton, which is pronounced by the world
to be always good" is now said to be
better than it ever was, owing to the fact
that the additions consist OF Mr.. Mckee,
whose performance of character songs is
said to be praiseworthy in every sense of
the word, and the character sketches OF
lie Grand. The Bcrgcrs themselves have
their character, too well established for
Us to culogizc them, the entire family be-
ing artists of acknowledged superiority.

The Queen ofaII Sewing Machines.

In speaking of the merits Of the Will
son Shuttle Sewing Machine, il is sufi-
cient for us to say that we think the in
vention Of this machine marks one of the
most important eras In the history Of this
country; and when we consider the in
iluence II has upon the social well-being
of the masses, tits difficult to conceive
Of an invention of more importance. 1t
has beautiful. noiselcss movement; IL
makes the genuine "Lock-Sutcb" alike
on both sides, and does to perfection all
kinds OF plain and fine sewing; it needs
no commentator; its rapid sales, the i'll
creasng demand, and the many flatter-
ing testimonials from those who have
used it, is sufficient proof Of its merits.
The want of a sewing machine is deeply
felt in every household, and rs the Will
son Shuttle Sewing Machine, on account
Of its extreme simplicity and less. cost of
manufacture. is sold at a much lower
price than all other first-class machines.
1t Is meeting with the extensive patronage
that 1t 50 justly deserves. Machines will
be delivered at any Railroad Station In
this country. free Of transportation
charges. if ordered through the Compa-
ny's Branch House at Gl0 North Fourth
street, St. Louis, Mo.
They send an elegant catalogue and
chrome circular free on application.
This Company want few more good
agents.

R0binson's NinstreIs.

4 large audience greeted Harry Rob
insons troupe of burnt cork artists, on
their first appearance at the Atheneum
last night, and none, we venture to say,
found room for censure, the entertain
ment throughout being excellent. The
first part of the programme was opened
with an overture by the company entitled,
LA File du Madame Ango," followed
by Comic Refrain" by Heeney, and
songs by Murphy, Adams, Robinson and
Sadler, all of which were equally good.
The second part of the programme was
entered upon with silver statue clog
dance, by Thomas and Heeney, who are
tlrst-class. Murphy's "Hannnah on q
Lark" was done immensely. lie is a
real plantation negro, and was loudly APP
plauded. Green and Sadler, in their
songs and dances are good, and Robin.
son in his Musical Melange" is really
wonderful. run, Niger, Rum" amused
the audience greatly. Thomas and
| Heeney then performed their album Of
songs and dances in creditable style
Robinson's "Komkalties" brought down
the house. as did Murphy in his champion
bone solo. The Dutch specialtles o
Charlie Adams were very acceptable
The evenings fun was brought TO n clos
with the laughable sketch of "In AM
Out" which fairly convulsed the au
dience. Tonight there will be an entir
change of programme, and those VIII
wish to get seats should secure them cal

have been expected yesterday. Dray-

snow-balling each other.
Yesterday was the most pleasant
day we have had this month. The little

wee soon disappeared, and Ohio levcc
looked like river of mud. Those who
had business on the whart-boats had TO
cross on drays or walk down TO Fourth
