Long Branch.

1t takes a variety of people 70
constitute a world. All cannot be
Millions or Byrons-poets, politi
cans and preachers; neither can
everybody be of the same mind or
have the same notions about things
generally. Some hold to the opin-
ion that this earth is fiat, while
others contend that it is round.
Some think that our globe revolves
around the sun, while others say
that the sun makes its daily revolu
tions around the earth. Some PEG
pie want to know that when the
earth turns why it is that the folks
don't fall off on the other side
Some people cannot write poetry,
but can astonish the world with
their prose productions. Some can
describe places and scenes with
such correctness and beauty that il
is really astonishing, while others
might spend a lifetime in attempt
ing the same thing and IN the end
signally fail. Everybody's ideal
of a wife is not the same, and l am
sorry to be informed that l have
failed to truthfully portray mine, as
per yOur Leatherwood correspon-
dent. If loves light is to go out at
the end Of the time generally called
the "honey- mOon," then my ideal is
bosh, 'stern duty" must sway the
scepter and all future prospects of
matrimonial happiness are forever
blasted If / thought that sun
shine, smiles, love and happiness
are only fruits of the imagination
all to Danish as soon as the honey
moon has waned-I would be con
tent with basking in the pleasures
Of celibacy for the remainder of my
days. But l am happy to say that
l entertain a different opinion, and
shall act accordingly when l shall
have selected partner for life,
whose smiles L expect to enjoy and
who can "disport' with my raven
locks and not be gazing on a
bald pate either l am happy to
inform Mr.. Amlcus that / am as far
from being bald as himself or any
body else. If he will tell me who
his informant is, will introduce
him to the toe of my boot, or if it
is lady l will
Irvine my arm her Waste about
And punish her with kisses.
And then l will raise my hat and
prove by actual demonstration that
Dame Nature has been favorable to
me. Reserve your sympathy, Ami
Gus, for your wife if you have one.
You exclaim, poor Kully with a vim
characteristic of a truly sympa-
thetic fellow, but 1 am fortunate
enough not to need any Of that ar
ticle just now; but thanks for the
interest you manifest for my wei
fare. Hope to have the pleasure of
forming your acquaintance ere long
when you can satisfy your curiosity
with reference to my head.
l am threatened with total ami
hilation by your Wales correspon-
dent. / shall pass his squibs with
silence by if they are of the same
character of his last one, and if the
public will pardon my debut in that
class of literature, / will promise to
never again indulge my pen in that
direction any more.
Lionels information would be a
death blow to my happiness il /
ever had looked upon the young
lady in question in any other light
than that of a friend. When the
proposed change is consummated,
may the god of love shower his
blessings upon the fortunate chap
whose name she may wear. ! do
not wish to appear ofiicious in this
case. / am only answering Lionel
Messrs. Dick Williamson and Sam
Sheriff. Of Haywood have been Wis
iting this neighborhood in the in
terest OF an improved washing ma
chine. They test its superiority
over any other machine by an act
ual demonstration. It's simplicity
will prove a blessing 10 the fair sex.
No employment could suit the Ma
jor better. He can spin yarns 70
his hearts content.
