LOVE AT FIRST SIGHr-A SHoEMAKERs DAUGH-

Bopaparte has become famous for marrying a
saddler's daughter and shooting an offensive
editor. The first act was regarded as noble
piece of beroism ON his part. certain young
foreign gentleman, residing in Washington,
has furnished almost parallel to Pierre Bona
parties honorable conduct toward saddlers
daughter. The story is this, according to the
Washington correspondence OF the New York
Herald


The young gentleman was walking down
Pennsylvania avenue about two or three weeks
ago, enjoying pleasant promenade along our
Waghington Broadway, when his attention
was suddenly attracted by a very pretty girl
standing in the door way of shoe store. Our
hero was fascinated insLantaneously. On the
pretence of making some purchases in the
leather line he entered the store, engaged in
conversation with the maiden and discovered
she was the daughter of the proprietor. Our
hero found excuses for making many subse
quent visits to the store, and finally the parents
Of the girl noticing this marked attention to
their daughter, and thinking the disparity in
rank was too great to admit of proper address
es, politely informed him that they would prefer
him to discontinue his calls. The young gen
tleman with an unexpected manliness and ev-
ident sincerity, told the parents that his inten-
tions were honorable to the last degree; that

enough to be thoroughly educated and fitted
for any station in life, and that if he would
consent he, the young gentleman, would have
the girl sent to one of the best academies in
the country, there to be instructed in all the
accomplishments and requirements desirable.
The young gentleman also offered to give a
solemn pledge that he would never visit the
yourg lady at the academy, and that at the end
of the educational course, if she still entertain

at her feet his hand and heart. | am inform

CONcEITED People Minerva threw away the
flute, when she found that it puffed up her cheeks ;
but if we cast away the flute nowadays, il is
that we may take larger instrument OF puthng,
by becoming our own trumpeters. Empty minds
are the most prone to soar above their proper
sphere, like paper kites, which are kept aloft by
their own lightness while those that are better
stored prone to humility, like heavily laden
vessels, of which we see the Tess the more richly
and deeply they are freighed The corn bends
itself downwards when its ears are filled, but
when the heads Of the conceited are filled with
self-aduation, they only lit them up higher
Perhaps it is a benevolent provision of Provi-
dence that we should possess in fancy these good
qualities which are held from US in reality for
il we did not occasionally think well yourselves
we should be more apt TO think i'll of others. 1t
must be confessed that the conceited and the vain
have light and pleasant duty to perform, since
they have but one to please, and in that object
they seldom fail. Selt-ove, moreover, is the on
ly love not liable to the pangs of jealously =
Pity that quick perception of our own des-
serts generally blinds us to the merits of others ;
that we should see more than all the world in
the former instance, and less in the latter In
one respect, conceited people show degree Of
discernment for which they deserve credit-they
soon became tired of their own company.

A special dispatch 10 the st. Louis DEM
Ocrdt says:


WASHINGTON, June 8.-The San Domingo
treaty question has made good deal of bad
feeling among Republican members OF the
Senate. and each outbreak of temper is
worse than the one by which it WIS pre-
ceded. There have been rumOrs and charges
OF iobbery and corruptionin connection with
the treaty from the day it was laid before the
Senate, and these finally took such shape that
General Schurz felt obliged to ask that they
be investigated by the Foreign relations
Committed. The introduction of this res
o$ation created great futter among some
of the treaty's advocates. 1t went over TOR
one session and the committee reported
again yesterday when the doors were closed:


The de bate lasted an hour and half, and
was pungent and personal. In the Senate
it Was argued that the charges were OF such
character that the Senate could not afford
to overlook them, and that 1t was even due
to the President 20 give them an examlna'
ton SO as to show that they are slabderous.
The other faction argued that to notice the
matter at all. would be to investigate the
conduct of the President in making tire atty.
and. on this ground, Schurzs resolution Was
temporarily tabled.


The main question at issue came up in
open session, however, to-day. AS soon as
the journal was read, on Ferrys lntroouc'
ton of the Hatch memorial, there were two
hours of bitter aud excited debate, partially
indicative of the tone and drift of that in
the secret session. At first there was a
decided opposition to allowing an inquiry
into the secret allegations of Hatch against
the Dominican government and General
BaLcock, who negotiated the treaty, but
Ferry and Sumner made their points well,
and the committee was finally ordered with
Ont dissent. It consists of Nye, Howard,
Williams and Warner, who favor, and Ferry
and Schurz. who oppose the treaty.
AS soon as the body got into executive
session again tie fight was reopened on the
question whether this committee snail pe
allowed or directed to inquire INTO tne
matters heretofore presented by Mr.. Schurz
In view of the means by which the ratihca'
ton of the treaty is sought, it is safe enough
to say that there will be an inquiry in aome
form.

Mark Twain tells the following story, relat-
ed by fellow passenger, who being bantered
about his timidity, said he had never been
scared since he loaded an old Queen AIMS
musket tor his father once, whereupon he gave
the following:


You see the old man was trying to learn
me to shoot blackbirds, and beasts that tore up
the young corn and things so that | could be
OF some use about the farm because | wasn't
big enough to do much. My gun was singel
barrelled shot gun, and the old man carried an
old Queen Anne musket that weighed ton,
made report like thunder-cap, and kicked
like mule. The old man wanted me to shoot
the musket sometimes, but | was afraid. One
day, though, | got her down, and so took her
to the hired man and asked him how to load
her, because dad was out in the field


" Hiram, said he, "do you see these marksf
on the stock, an \ and and V on each side O
the Queen crown? Well, that means ten
balls and five slugs-that's her load"


g But how much POWDER"
"Oh, he says, I" it don't matter put in
two or three handfulls"
| so loaded up that way, and it was an
awful charge had sense enough to see that
and started out l leveled her on a good

pull the trigger, shut my eyes and winked.
was afraid Of her kick. Towards sundown
l fetched her up at the house, ard there was
the old man resting on the porch


6 Been out hunting, have ye?'


" Yes sir, says |.


"What did you kill?"


:" Didn't kill anything, sir-didnt shoot her

we'll she would)."


Gimme the gun!' the old man said, as
mad as sin.


And he took aim at sapling on the other
side of the road, and began to drop back out
of danger. And the next moment heard the
earth quake, and saw the old Queen Anne
whirling end over end in the air, and saw the
old man spinning around on one heel with one
leg up and both hands on his jaw and the bark

was set back three inches and his jaw turned

days Cholera nor nothing else can scare me

DR.. David Livingstone is reported to have
been burned in Africa as a wizard, for such
is the character he long bore there. We could,
in some respects, have better spared Africa
than Livingstone. He was a courage Of the
most exalted order, for it stood the test of
loneliest isolation and widest solitude, and alb
solute self-exile from the company of the civil
lied and the humane. He was new Great
heart in the strangest Pilgrims Progress which
these latter days have known. Heroic piety
sustained him, living and dying, in all that
sublime mission which one unaided but not
uninspired man undertook for the sake of God
and his fellows To be burned as wizard was
not the fate which mankind would have im.
agined for such a benefactOr as Livingstone
but it crowned with sacred fire and recommen


ded to Heaven the lifelong sacrifice of mar
whom the world will claim among its martyrs

untrue as previous report of Livingstone

We FADE.-We extract the following beau
tiful and truthful Illustration from an exchange:


I" AS the trials of life thicken, and the dreams
of other days fade, one by one in the deep vista
of disappointed hope the heart grows weary of
the struggle, and we begin to realize our insg


nifcance These who have climbed to the
pinnacle of fame, or revelin luxury and wealth,
go to the grave at last with the poor mendicant
who begs by the wayside, and like him are
soon forgotten. Generation after generation,
says an eloquent writer, have felt as we feel,
and their fellows were as active in life as ours
are now. They passed away as a vapOr, while
nature wore the same aspect of beauty as when
the Creator commanded her to be. And So
shall it be when we are gone: The heavens
will be as bright over our grave as they are
now around our path; the world will have the
some attraction for offsprings yet unborn that
she had once for ourselves, and that she has
now for our children"

when they were very aged and wore big spec
tacles and leaned on canes and seemed great
way off from the little folks. Now they are
quite young people themselves-at least they
seem SO to us-they dress and talk just like
other people and have not by any means for
COTTON how children put on what they like,
consequently they are very delightful when
they really set to work to tell stories. This
story about Nellie is full of things that chill
dren like to hear and besides that it will put in
to their heads some thoughts that it will do
them good to think over by themselves. Nell
lie would not have seen the laries if the faries
had not known that she was very good little
girl, and even seeing them would not have
made her SO happy if she had not been all
ready to learn the lessons they taught her.
Our little girls of to-day can 60 into the same
beautiful woods where Nellie went with
''moolhe," and they can also see the house
where she went to school. Many ladies and
gentlemen in town remember very distinctly
Mrs. Danes school, and would know the slap
of that ferule or the tap of that thimble on
their heads if either of them should be allow
cd to come back again in this neighborhood.
Above all they would sneezs with all their
might if one of those snufy old pocket hand
kerchiefs were to be disinterred and waved in
the air. Many would shake in their shoes and
| forget that thsy had grown into men and wo-
men if they saw in their dreams that white
| capped old lady take her seat in her straw bot
toned chair, with speliDg-book in her hand,
| and look over her spectacles at them. They
have all passed away long ago and the children
of to-day can laugh over them as merrily as
they plase without fear Of the ferule, just as
they can read and enjoy the other experiences
