A Scriptural Courtship.

A young gentleman happening to sit
at church in pew adjoining one which
a young lady occupied for whom he
conceived sudden passion was de
sirous of entering into courtship on
the spot. The emergency Of the case
suggested the following plan: He
politely handed his fair neighbor
Bible open with pin stuck in the fol-
lowing text: Second epistle of John,
verse fifth-"And now l beseech thee,
lady, not as though I wrote a new COM
mandment unto thee, but that which
we had in the beginning, that we love
one another" She returned it pointing
to the second chapter of Ruth, verse
tenth-"Then she fell on her face and
bowed herself to the ground and said
unto him, have I found grace in
thine eyes, seeing that I am stranger"
He returned the book, pointing to the
thirteenth verse of the third epistle of
John-"Having many things to write
unto you, would not write with paper
and ink, but I trust to come unto you
and speak face to face" From this
interview a marriage took nlace.

carry intelligence for miles with great
rapidity, the beats of the drum being

"Mrs. Fassett's picture of the Flee

measure, must be an interesting

the picture, which are said to be so

Chickens come home to
rOOSt.

Our text is not to he found in the
classics, nor is it often met in the
polite literature of the day, yet,
it answers our present purpose, and
we have no hesitation in useing it
by way of illustration. In the early
days of reconstruction the big heart
of the Radical party overlooked
with love to the colord man and
brother, it duly apportioned to him
forty acres and mule, and gave
him the Elective franchise to pro-
tect his property. Ali was harmo-
NOUS as long AS the newly enfran-
chised sent by their votes, such men
as Warmoth, Pinchback, Kellogg
and West, to represent them in the
legislature, but the poor benighted
creatures have lately taken it iuto
their heads to send white men, and
gentlemen to represent them, and
now comes Jim Blaine from the
state of Maine, without shame.
seeking to find out a way to stop
the Niger from voteing, as he has
turned democrt, and has as much
representation in Congress as poor
qchate trash like Jim Blaine.
