JOHN WISE TO GEN. CRoPPER.

udte.I
Feeling myself irresistibly impelled
by inclination, and prompted by sense
of propriety, 1 have presumed now to
address you upon subject of impor-
lance and delicacy.
Having conceived an affection for
your daughter Miss Sally, beg leave
to solicit your permission to make my
address to her. and at the same time let
me express the hope that, should be so
fortunate as to succeed in gaining her
affections, my first wishes may not be
frustrated by your disapprobation. ]
have thought proper to make this APP
plication to you on The subject in this
manner, rather than in person, because
my character Off 1 have acquired any,
my condition, and my situation in life
are not altogether unknown to you, and
if objections are to be made they can be
more freely communicated in this than
in any other way.
1 have heretofore proceeded no fur
Their with the lady than merely obtain
her permission to make this application,
and, sir, 1 now pledge you the honor of
a gentleman that, in case you have OBJ
lection of an insuperabls nature to the
proposed union, whatever may be the
chagrin, regret and modification which
1 may feel on the occasion, will
not disturb the quiet of parent, ex-
tremely solicitous, no doubt, for the
happiness of beloved daughter, by
persisting any further with her.
Permit me to assure you that 1 am,
with much consideration and respect,
your obedient servant, JOHN WISE.

Oh. pleas ant land of childhood,

To All your spring time pathways
That now behind me lie
To the happy skies above You,
The roses by the way,
And the well remembered places
Wherein used to play.
When on my knees / tended
Doll children still and fair,
And washed their patient faces,
And brushed their golden hair,

Those children on my knee;
When sore affiiciion found them
What grief IL was to me!

And one put out her eye,
And one her wicked uncles
Shot at maliciously,
And left her sadly lying,
The saw-dust bleeding fast
From her poor wounded body,
Until she died, at last.

Beneath lonely tree,
And from her grave violet
Sprung up 10 comfort me.
My dogs, my cats, my pony

With all these boon companions

But that SO pleasant country,
With all its Joy and pain,

GEN. CHOPPER TO JOHN WISE.

BowMAN's FOLLY, 18th May, 1877.
SIR: Although the application made
by your letter of this day was unexpect-
ed, yet my reflections heretofore on the
subject have prepared me to answer
That however solicitous / may be for
the temporal felicity of my daughter
and future respectability of my child,
she is the only proper Judge Of the per-
son best calculated to make her happy.
Respect and impartiality ought to be
shown by me to you or any gentleman
that might make his address to my
daughter, and confide in your candor
and Judgment. am, sir, with due re-
spect, your obedient servant,
JOHN CHOPPER.

II the deacon had talked all the way
into town, the boys made up lost time
on the way home; and, more than that,
they all talked ut once, and he could
hardly hear his own voice when he
spoke to the horse. So they were left
to themselves, except that once, when
they were bemoaning their lack OF
funds, he said lmpressively: Save
your money, boys, against the time of
need. Once lost you never can get it
again" No one noticed this remark
except Ted, and it was SO simply word
ed that he understood it, and accord
ingly, when they were passing the vii
lage store, he insisted on going in.
Presently he came hack to the buggy
with stick of candy in each hand, and
another in his mouth. The last he di-
vided between the other boys.
What do you spend your money for,
so near homep" asked the deacon.
For candy"
The query was repeated with WHY"
substituting what"
"Ohi" said Ted, scrambling up on
the seat. "'Cause you toll us to look
out not lose it, an I had one O. them
nasty little thee cent things, an was
'fraid I'd lose him, so spent him an
dot all this candy. Want some?"
Perhaps the deacon was not thor
oughly satisfied with the result of his
counsels, but he made no sign.
About 10 o'clock that same evening o

might have been seen leaving the city

Il was quite surprised to find those

an idea that bareback referred to
the-er-riders, rather than the horses.
Then followed long discussion o
the merits of the different performers
whose names were pronounced as glib,
as Barnum himself could have done.

date says: AS an illustration of the
stately courtesy and somewhat grandilo-

of our readers, and an example of the

It is now stated that the water OF
boiled celery is sure cure for rheuma-

bits, boiled in water until soft, and the
water drank by the patient. Put new

serve it warm, with piece of toast; eat
it with potatoes, and the painful ele-
ment will soon Weld.
