VOUtNC. CnUJIRrINGs

One of the chief cohpensations Of wom-
ans life is found in the fact that she does
not have TO Ego a-courting" 1t must be
confessed that in these days the modern
belle does her share Of the wooing, but she
does not have TO dress up in a stiff collar
and pair of boots a size too small for her,
and walk up to cannon's mouth Of her in
amorata's family, consisting of father, moth
er, grandmotherj a maiden aunt, and per-
haps half dozen brothers and sisters, and
inquire in a trembling voice ais Miss Mol
lie at homer" Whenever a man goes a
courting, everybody scents to know all about
it, His demeanor tells the observant spec
tator the business he is intent upon. lie
might lust as well placard himself: "Im
going a-courtingp Every body is cognizant
of it and look knowingly, and ask him if
the "Northern Lights were bright last night
about one O'clock" and "IIow the market is
for kerosene oil up at Daddy Browns" and
score of other questions equally out OF
place. We know young man who is deeply,
and we trust successfully, engaged in going
ACQUIRING, and our vartnost sympathies
have been extended toward him. When
Sunday afternoon arrives, it is plain to see
that something is about to happen. He is
fidgety and communicative, and cannot
sit in one place half minute at time. He
is continually interviewing his watch and
comparing it With the old eight-day coffin
shaped clock in the corner He looks in the
glass frequently and draws his forehead
locks first back and then forward, and combs
them up and pats them down, and is unsat-
islied with the effect throughout. The smell
of bay-rum and burgamot is painfully APP
parent When he shakes out his handker-
chief musk is perceptible His boots shine
like mirrors, ahT there is a faiat smell Of
cardamon seeds in his breath when he yawus
He smoothes his budding little mustache
with afiectionate pats, and feels his invisi-
BILE whskers continually, to make sure
they are still there, fact which is not es-
tablished TO outside observers by the sense
of sight. lie tries on all Of his stock
of new neckties, without finding just
the thing he wants. Then he has
spasms of brushing his coat, that commence
with violence and last until one grows ner-
vous for fear the broadcloth will not be able
to stand the friction. He declines soup thai
day at dinner. He says it BECAUSE he /.
not hungry. but we know it is because there
are onions in it, and onions, as every one
knows, do not sweeten ones breath to any
great extent If spoken to suddenly, he
starts and bushes, and looks as guilty as i
caught stealing something, and directly one
does not speak to him he goes back to .ht
delightful occupation of staring at nothing
and waits for th9 hour hand to creep arounC
TO seven. At seven he sets forth, clean anC
tidy from top to toe, looking precisely as i
.he had Just stepped out of bandboX.

swaying to and fro watching the unloading

tirely new and undenably leads the van in
magnitude. Long before nine o'clock thous-
ands upon thousands of people filled the

utmost capacity, TO witness an exhibition of

The political field is already waxing
warm and will we opine, be red hot by the
time we write our next letter. As we CON
template, prospbbtively, the sanguinary po-
litical conflict that awaits US, we almost wish
we could temporarily dwell in a colder
clime-even among the Esquimaux. All
eyes are now turned toward Cincinnati, the
Queen city of the West, and in a week, at
least, the air will resound with the "'Rahs"
of both political parties. The Congression-
al issue is in a perfectly quiescent sia,e here,
it being universally conceded that Colonel
Klotz will be the nominee for this district
and elected by very handsome majority.
Congressman Klotz has made an excellent
member, has worked hard, and faithfully
represented his constituents and, therefore
ought to and will be returned. To be sure,
he has made but few, if any, speeches. And,
it were better for many who hare speechifed
had tney maintained perfect silence, for it
is evident from a perusal of many of these
eflusions, that they were delivered merely
for the purpose of getting themselves a re-
cord. Words are but lea res deeds are fruit,
and fruit dgests better than leaves, you
know.
