Only An Incident.
Harper's Magazine for March.


A few evenings ago (writes South
ern lady) the conversation turned upon
suitable times and places for courtships.
said | had once been an accidental
eye 7OyfneSS-Shall call TITO pro-
posal on the cars. oh, tell us please
do let us hear! exclaimed ten young
voices and two mature ones. l could
not resist, and after the recital, which
was suitably applauded, lady, whose
opinion value, begged that l would
send it to Ha,ber. l hope the parties
unknown to me-wll take no offense
if they recognize the courtship as their
property. have heard though, that at
such an absorbing moment the identical
words used are seldom remembered.
L was sitting on a train about to leave
Richmond, Va, for Petersburg. when
bridal party came on, and one of the
0rldemalds occupied the vacant seat by
my side. The coach was crowded, and

and closed the book had been read
ing, and leaned my head on the win
dow, and closed my eyes, simply to rest
them. Nothing was farther from my
thoughts than to be an caves dropper,
but SO in the event l proved to be; for
in the darkening twilight the absorbed
couple, supposing Inc to be asleep, set.
tied into 'love's low tone,' each word
OF which struck upon my ear clear as a
bell, for in his earnestness he leaned on
the back of the seat in front of us. as
you can picture for yourself, forming
with the lady's ear and mine an equi-
lateral triangle. In free America, and
on public conveyance, did not think
1t necessary to remind them of my pres
ence. Presently he bent closer, and
whispered: You must know by this
time what my attentions to you mean.
May hope that may claim you as
mine?'
After little pause she said, Il am
very sorry, but | am afraid our paths
through life will have to diVerge.'
He expoStulated, of course; then,
heaving deep sigh, walked away.
Tne twiligct deepened, and l still
rested my eyes. After a while the dis
consolate lover returned, and renewed
his suit, saying: Il have spent fifteen
wretched minutes. Can you give me
no hope?'
Her voice in the cleaning sounded
like music to him, have no doubt. as
she answered: Il have been thinking
over what l told you. No one knows
what will be in the future, and perhaps
our paths may c0nOerge.
Just then the whistle blew for my
station, and gathering up my posses
Sions, was preparing to depart, when
he exclaimed, joyfully: do you get
off here2 Allow me to help you with
these And with shining eyes he took
my satchel and parcels, and helped me
off, even controlling himself SO far as to
bow respectfully as left.
On looking back l could see the lady
py lover sitting by her side. The whis-
tie blew, the train started. and-the
curtain fell.

Hotel Guests Freaks.

The party in ia wants bottle of
ink and mince pie hot, said one of
the Ethiopian gem of the call-bell at the
Continental Hotel yesterday afternoon
as he walked up to the office counter
and eyed the satchel of a man who had
just registered. The new arrival looked
astonished, but the clerk didn't display
the slightest interest in the odd message,
and simply scribbled an order on the
cafe for zone mince pie, hot, and hand
ed out an ink stand from a drawer in
one of the desks.
Surprised? No, of course not he
said in reply to query from the new
arrival, who had followed the form of
the departing servant until he vanished.

Easy to Get Married.

Anybody can marry. A man may be
so homely that the reflection of his face
would dent new milk pan, but he can
marry. | know miserable creatures who
have existed scores of years and all they
have been able to get was to get married.
Down through the flying years l have
passed safe from Cupid's dart. I have
met young ladies so eager to get mar
ried that it kept them up nights-with
male companions. l have been besieg-
ed by old maids, bombarded with widows
and outhanked by book agents age
does not wither nor custom stale man
Of mY. build. AND. Lhaue .ta~ehfreae- INV
know about love, courtship and mar
riage you need not look in the census OF
1880 to find out. But l shall not lee
ture upon these themes. l have mark
ed the ebb and flow of taste in these
matters. There has been a run on
coachmen until good drivers became SO
scarce the canal boats of our distracted
county were rotting at their wharves
and gilded horse-shoes were the fash
ionable adornments of our homes. Then
the drain of our foreign noblemen left
our restaurants and barber shops with
out help. Afterward the cockney dude
was in demand until the ladies became
attached to cheaper kind of dog
with a string. PITY is akin to love,
and women marry some very pitiable
objects. Weddings and funerals are put
side by side in the papers, for they both
settle a mans destiny for paradise OF
perdition.
There has been steady effort in our
progressive country to make divorce as
easy as marriage, but the lawyers will
always be more expensive than the
preachers. Young man, l have seen
some happy marriages, but they are
founded Oh respect and mutual fitness.
They were undertaken with more calm
thought and preparation than moonlight
and gum drops. There will be the same
light after you are married, but small
house and lot will cost you coin of the
realm. Buckle down to your studies
and get an assured position in society,
pull in a political party or an account
at the bank, and then | will guarantee
there will be girls left and willing to
marry.

you have seduced man, the image of
God. Such are the effects of your

says: 'Theoligians condemn, as guilty
of mortal sins, young women who 60

ample section of the shoulders and back
usually exposed to the masculine gaze
at fashionable entertainments. Miss
Cleveland says that the entire CORE
spondence is a fabrication, as she never
received letter from Mrs. Stanton,
and, therefore, sent no reply. She said
that she would not discuss such theme
in the newspapers, but admits that the
letter attributed to her expresses her
views. 4 think, said she, that the ex-
tremes to which ladies sometimes 60
has demoralizing effect on them and
lowers the tone of society. I have seen
some toilets in Washington that simply
shocked the good taste ofpeople. Every
thing suggestive of improper thoughts
should be avoided. l see nothing wrong
in bare arms, but at the same time there
is no reason why the arms should not
be covered as we'll as the other portions
of the body. However, I am not will
ing to put myself in the attitude of be-
ing an adverse critic on the fashions
and methods Of society. Perhaps the
gentleman themselves are primarily re-

The Spinster.

She was sour spinster,
A woman of renown,
Of vinegarish features
And ever-present frown.
She kept the girls on nettles,
Likewise the boys the same
Did this peculiar creature
Of gossip adding fame.
Her cellar it was laden
With picked things IN jars;
She constant was creating
Among the neighbors wars.
Her attic it was crowded
With simples hung to dry;
She said they would be useful
Who knows in by and by.
The plague it came and smote them
The people of the town;
The spinster was an angel,
For all her past renown.
The doctors fed in terror,
Fear. stricken, from the place;
God bless the ugly spinster
Of vinegarish face
Her simples from the attic
Kept down the fre-brand;
And temples that were bursting
Cooled underneath her hand.
Gcd bless the dear old creature!
To-day among the people
She is the petted queen.

Mighty Men of One Occupation.
IDr. Talmaee's sermon.l


The general rule is that man can do
only two things well-the first is, to find
his sphere; the second. to keep it The
general rule is mason, stick to your
trowel carpenter. stick to your plane;
lawyer, stick to your brief; minister, stick
to your pulpit, and don't go oil lecturing.
The mighty men of all professions have
been, for the most part, men of one occu-
patton. Sometimes man is prepared by
providence, through variety of occupa-
tons, for some great mission. Sometimes
men get prepared for their positions in
life BY their troubles They go from dis
appo ntment to disappointment until they
graduate at the university of hard knocks
The old poets used to talk of man
getting inspiration by sleeping on Mount
farnassuS 1t is not the man on the
mountain, but the mountain on the man
that brings mon to the position for which
God intended them The difference about
conditions in life is not so much diff
ference in fruitfulness of occupation as it
is in the difference of the endowment of
men with that great attribute of stick-toa
tiveness. Concenier all your energies
into one direction Do not be afraid to
be called man of one idea Better have
one great idea than hundred little ones.

Col Ware. of Virginia was, before the
late "unpleasantness. noted breeder of
fancy sheep, which he used TO exhibit at
the national exhibition of the United
States agricultural society. He was
member Of the executive committee of
that society, and became intimately
acquainted with Col II. S Olcott, now
studying Hindoo Spiritualism IN India.
Olcott was then connected with the New
Y FORK Tribune, and was sent to irginia
to obtain. If possible: an account of the
execution of John Brown. Going to
Richmond he managed to get himself
admitted into the ranks of volunteer
company. which had some spare uni
forms, aud he was thus witness of the
execution at which the brave old zealo
was kept standing at deaths door while
Col. August, who commanded the troops.
countermarched several companies that
they might have better view of the
scene.
Olcott flattered himself that by feign-
ing sickness he could get away unob-
served, but he remained in the ranks un
til after q review. which closed the per
formance. AS the reviewing officer, &C
companied by large number of military
dignitaries, came down the line, he saw
with some trepidation that in the rear
was his old friend Ware. who was col
onel of the irginia militia without any
command but none the less active. When
the colonel came opposite to where Olcott
stood. looking vacantly to the front he
halted aud looked at him. as though he
remembered his features. But the volun
teer gave no sign Of recognition indeed.

ored to squint and distort his countenance
