Matrimonial Prospecting.

A man who goes around after women
is good deal like a prospector hunting
FOR mine. You see a woman at a ball
aud she is frizzled up and rugged cut in
silk, and powdered and painted where
the skin shows. These surface crop.
pings look pretty well, but if you locate
on the strength Of EN-, you'll get fooled
every time. a woman of that kind is
just like sailed mine. Don't you take
any stock IN her. She won't wash. If
you want to prospect q little further,
slide up and take an essay Of her con.
versation. All, my boy Three per
cent Of intelligence, twenty-five Of fash
iouable etiquette, and the rest frivolity
conceit, ignorance and vanity, mixed
up in about equal parts. Drop her.
Such rock won't pay to mill. A wo-
mans heart IS mighty curious thing.
Take it in al! its dips, spurs, angles,
ramifeations and sinuositics, and its
more Of puzzle than the whole Com
stock. Some fellows try to work it.,
and by pure luck, strike it rich right
off, in places where old experienced
prospectors never supposed there was
anything. Old Miner.

A Suggestion.

Many mother thinks she cannot
spend time to read, because her chill
dren and her household duties require
all her attention. She does not realize
that she may do more for her children
in the end by cultivating herself than
if she spends all her tine on clothes
and cooking. \ generosity that makes
the recipient weak or selfish is not u
blessing, but a curse. Have you not
seen grown.u sous who snubbed their
own mothers opinions in the same
breath with which they called her to
bring their slippers? The meek little
woman has ''trotte. around to wait on
them so long that they have come to
think that it is alsh is good for. Their
sisters keep MA" in the background
because she "hasn't bit of STYLE" and
ia $50 uncultivated," forgetting that
she has denied herself for their sakes.
Women would be much more accepta.
bic companions TO their children if they
would find time to read and keep pace
with the times En-.

On News.

There appears to be popular notion
that the full support Of news consists
in the relation of new facts physical
facts, 50 to speak, such as fights and
foot races, for example that, therefore
. newspaper is to be estimated by the
burden Of incidents with which it is
loaded. Now this idea is good enough,
SO far as it goes; nevertheless, it con-
stitutes the lowest possible estimate of a
true newspaper. A vast amount Of the
staff published as news, aud read as
such, and even telegraphed up and
down the country at great expense,
says ;he Albany REGISTER is, by every
test common sense utterly. worthless

1t is given out that ladies will wear
vests precisely like the gaptlemen's this
Spring. When married man goes to

A Lancaster hoy Carried OF by
Tramps

From the Lancaster Examiner.
We yesterday published an account of
the supposed abduction of Levi Buck
walter, lad twelve years of age, from
the premises of Mr.. Abram Lands, where
he was employed. We were right in one
suppostion that the boy had been carried
off by tramps who had been seen PROV
ling alb u the premises of Mr.. Lands
about the same time the boy was missed.
Yesterday evening the boy returned to
his home again. He says he was in the
orchard on Tuesday afternoon, when he
was met by the two tramps, of one whom
carried club in his hand. They took
hold of him and told him to come along,
threatening to beat MIN If he offered any
resistance or made any outcry.
He says that after they got him away
from the premises they told him he must
accompany them and not tell any one
whom they might meet about the affair.
Levi says he travelled with them until a
late hour on Tuesday night, by which
time they had reached u poiut on the
Columbia pike, several miles west OF
this city. The tramps then told him he
might GO. He walked. for some time
toward Lancaster. when, feeling fatigued
he went into field, where he slept until
morning. He then made his way to his
| home, where he arrived last evening.
He says that although the scOundrels
would not allow him to escape, yet they
offered him no violence while with them.
