SIZE n HER MIND.

A big, good natured doctor was desper-
ately in love with, and had been twice re-
fused, by a fair.haired little woman. But,
instead Of the disappointment curing his
love, It only made the passion grow more
intense. After the last refusal he told her
that Il ever she changed her mind to let
him know, as his love for her was I'M
changeable, and he would be proud to be
her husband. Some months later he was
driving home from seeing a patient, when
he saw his lady love riding in his dlrec-
tion. Surprising she would merely bow
and pass on, as she had often done before,
he did not pull up his horse. But the mo-
ment Miss Dixon came up to him she
refined in her horse, stopped and called

Sir Arthur Helps believed that never
since the world began did two lover,
make love in exactly tho same way as any
other two lovers. Whether he was right

A MARRIAGE WITH A GENEROUS MOTIVE.
"A curious marriage proposal was made
by a reverend bachelor who entered the
matrimonial stage on his death bed.
When in his seventy.third yearthe minis.
ter had q severe attack Of paralysis, which
left him SO weak and helpless that, feeling
his end was not far distant, no proceeded
to set his worldly affairs in order. His
parish being an exceedingly small one,
and having been q most liberal man, lie
had not much money to leave, which cir
cumstance, had It not been for one reason,
he would not have minded.
tor tue last twenty years he had had as
h0usekeeper q steady, sensible woman,
who had served him honestly, tended him
like o daughter during his illness, and for
whom he had quite a fatherly regard. 1t
was on her account that he mourned his
property. 1t would have been a matter
Tor thankfulness could he have left her as
much Us would have supported her COM
fortably and respectfully in her old age
she was now about forty-ive. After weigh
ing and considering the matter for some
weeks in every possible light, a way out Of
the difficulty suddenly flashed upon him;
land, knowing the precarious state Of his
health, he resolved TO execute his purpose
at once. lie called his housekeeper, and
when she entered tie room he made her
sit down; and after telling her how anN.
ious and sorrewful he had been because
he had no money to leave her, he contin-
ued:
"Of course you are aware that there is a

A young man OF about twenty-three
years Of age, with neither money nor the
prospects OF getting any, came to the CON
%clusion that the best thing he could do
would be to marry q ''rich wife" and live
on her money. Among his many acquain-
tances was q widow lady OF about twice
his age, with three children, but with q
steady income OF two thousand q year.
Her he resolved to marry, and, In order
to cultivate her friendship, he took her
presents OF flowers and fruit, and gave the
children books and rides on his horse. The
lady kindly received his attentions, gave
him the liberty OF her house, and treated
him like a younger brother in every re.
spect. The young fellow, Interpreting her
kindness to suit himself, aud believing he
had nothing to do but ask her, ventured

To Hon. Jos. II. Acklen, New Orleans, La:
Dear Sr:-Since our return from
Morgan City, my mind has become
possessed with some uncomfortable in
huence, prompting me to study well
what i had done, and urging, on my
part. serious, very serious reflection,
before proceeding any further.
1 have pondered, and pondered over
our action ever since, only to realize
the silent whisperings of my conscience
that we are boilers!
In the excitement and first flush Of
the moment. acting nnder q misappre-
hension, i deserted the floor of the
rightfully constituted Convention, and
followed the bolt, for bolt it is, my
dear Sir, and nothing else.
In SO doing, j have committed Q
grave and serious error, the enoIaity
of which has become to my mind per
fectly awful. As humiliating as it is,
4 feel that "a candid confession is the
only course now left for me to pursue;
and regarding caudor the true basis Of
friendship, it becomes my paramount
duty to say to you that i cannot fol
low your lead-That Gen. John J.
Billiu is the party nominee, ] now ap-
preciate fully. Whatever may have
been my misrepresentation at Morgan
City, my entire support must now 20
given to Gen. Billin; and on account
of the very error q have committed, y
behooves me now, more than ever 70
redouble my zeal and energy IN lhn
behalf.
Can you not my dear friend, DO Ike
wiseG Can you not, also, Acknowledge
the influence Of some internal passion,
that led us to such q eoursea
Your true friends, are all panied, and
4 must say, greatly disappointed, a. w
course You have taken. While ~
yet time, sacrifice alittle ambition, anu
abandon a fight that can only tend Y
disintegrate our grand old parry am 4

will reflect credit and honor on you,
and revive the old enthusiasm.

AT this stage of the voting, and when
the parish of Lafayette was called, n
contesting delegate offered to cast its
votes for Pugh, The chair ruled this
inadmissible. Another contesting dele
gate from the same parish protested
against this ruling on the ground that
a majority of the people had voted for
his delegation. The contestiDg delega-
ton from Lafayette, Iberia and st.
Mary, with the regular delegations from
,Calcasieu, Cameron and st. Martin,
with four regular delegates from Ascen-
sion, withdrew from the convention. A
Terrebonne delegate waiting until he
had cast two votes for Pugh and then
Withdrew. The voting WAS then pro-
ceeded with as follows;
