off my thread bare coat to bad advan-
tage-oue of my arms was around Sails
waist, my hand resting on the small of
her back-she was toying with my
auburn locks OF jet black hue-she was
almost gone, and was ditto. She
looked like grasshoPPer dying with
the hiccups, and | felt like mud tar
tie choked with cod fish ball.
Sal says |, in voice musical as the
notes of dying swan, will you have
'me?' She turued her eyes heavenward,
clasped me by the hand, had an attack
Of the heaves and blind staggers, and.
with sigh that drew her shoe-strings
to her palats, said yes! She gave clear
out, then, aud squatted in my lap-she
corkscrewed and | curtiumuxed and roll
ed in it, l hugged her until Ibroke my
suspenders, and her breath smelt OF
onions which she had ate the week be-
fore. Well to make long story short,
she set the day, and we practiced for
four weeks every night how we would
walk into the room to be married, till
we cot so we could walk as graceful as
a couple of Muscovie ducks.
The night, the company, and the
minister came, the signal was giyen,and
arm in arm we marched through the
crowded hall We were just entering
the parlor door, when, down | went
kerslap on the oil cloth, pulling Sal at
ter me. Some cussed fellow dropped a
banana skin on the floor, and foored
me- 1t spill: an awful hole in my
casimeres right under my dress coat
tail. 1t was too late to back out, so
clapping my hands over it, we marched
in and were spliced, and taking a seat
l watched the kissing the bride opera,
ton. My groomsman was tight, and
he kissed her till | jumped up to take a
slice, when, oh horror a little six year
old imp had crawled behind me, and
pulling my shirt through the hole in my
pants had pinned it to the chair, and in
jumping up, displayed to the admiring
gaze of the astonished multitude tritle
more white muslin than was agreeable,
and was finally put to bed, aud there
all my troubles ended. Good night.

..,THE DUsEAY NIGHT"
BY OLD "TEDDY."

The dusky night rides down the skies,
And ushers in its morn.
The hounds all join the jovial cry,
And the huntsman winds his horn.
CHORUS.
And hunting we will 90 brave boys
And hunting we will go.
The wife around her husband throws
Her arms to make him stay:
My dear, it rains, it halls, it SHOWS,
You cannot hunt to-day.
CHORUS.
Yet hunting we will 90 brave boys,
And hunting we will so.
Slv s.Revnard," now like lightning flies
And sweeps across the vale
And when the hounds too near him spies
lie drops his bushy tail.
CHORUS.
And a hunting we will go brave boys,
And hunting we will go.
Atlength his strength to faintness worn,
Poor Reynard seizes flight,
And hungry, homeward weary turns
To feast away the night.
CHORUS.
And drinking we will go brave boys,
And drinking we will so.
Ye iovial hunters in the morn,
Prepare then for the chase.
Rise at the sounding of the horn,
And sport, and health embrace.
CHORUS.
And a hunting we will so brave boys,
And a hunting we will 80.

EIROCGHT TO LIFE.

An EXECUTED MURDERER REsUsCI-
TArED in Iowa.-Recently the telegraph
announced the hanging Of the murderer
Reuben Proctor in Iowa, and now the
Des MONIES Leader publishes the fol-
lowing strange story concerning the
affair: After lite had been pronounced
extinct, the body was delivered TO its
friends. 1t was taken home and laid
ont upon tile bed, and member of the
family kept watch by its side. This
person fell asleep Tor few hours, and
upon waking observed that the features
Of the supposed corpse had undergone
no change, aud were not rigid and fixed
as in death. lie felt the arms and legs,
AMI found them limp and not without a
Slight degree Of warmth. Putting his
ear in the region Of the heart, he
thought he could hear it family beating.
He then took mirror, aud holding II
to the lips, slight moisture became
Visible on the glass. He rubbed this
away and held it there again, and with
like result. Again and agaiu herepeat-
ed the experiment, and always with the
same results, until he became satisfied
that the moisture was the result Of re-
spiration. He then reused the rest Of
the family by shouting the announce
ment that Reuben was still alive, but
not until they had examined for them
selves could they be convinced of the
fact. This unookedfor position of af-
fairs threw the whole household into
tumult of excitement, and for a time
they knew not what to do. They dared
rot send for medical aid, fearing that
the mob might learn of it and return 10
make sure work a second time. AT
length, with such methods as'suggested
themselves, they set about the work of
resuscitation. They rubbed the body
vigorously. They threw cold water
upon the face. For some time they
seemed to accomplish nothing, but at
last feeble groan escaped the lips; his
eyes opened, closed again, as If dread
ing to see. They spoke to him, telling
him he was with friends and need have
10 fear Heagain opened bis eyes and
looked about in curious, wondering
way, and after a few attempts spoke
with great difficulty. He did not seem
TO be conscious Of the events of the
day, aud inquired what had happened.
They told him, aud as his memory was
awakened to the terrible ordeal ne had
undergone, convulislye tremOr shook
his whole frame What remains may
be briefly stated 4 mock funeral was
agreed upon. As was natural. the house
was summed by the neighbors, sod
thus contributed 10 the scheme there in
progress. a few days after Reuben
Proctor, so disguised that bis own
mother would not recognize him.. eft
bis home never to return.

1t seems to be the impression of many

The former mode, it seems TO us would
Le the most proper aud satisfactory one.
There is plenty of time now, under the
present State laws, TO have change
made in our charter, 10 the above effect;
and We would like to see the plan sug
gested consummated. We also suggest
that the number of Councilmen should
be curtailed TO fveiustead OF nine, which
would result in the lessening OF eXpen-
