John H. Roper, Esq., (not him that was
bung for committing murder) thus addressed
bis lady love:
Turn, my love, and list to me,
Thou angel of my destiny,
For loving—I love only thee,
Pet aympb eo fair;
And if we only can agree,
We’ll be a pair.
For what is man without a wife?
With her I’d rather live in strife
(Confound a solitary life)—
No one to cheer—
When evils are about us rife
Woman ! bow dear 1!
0 tbou propitious Cupid smile
» n ine, tby very humble child,
Turn, my good girl, and me beguile,
So heaven may dawn,
And earth be turned to bliae awhile,
Like Spring’! sweet morn.
Farewell!—adieu, my loving sweet,
1 hope quite soon we two shall meet,
Whan 1 shall fall down at your feet
To aua and pray,
That your love, like mine, shall holy greet,
And thus you’ll say,
14 Come, friendly Roper, come to me—
Yes, sir; I (eel we can agree,
And til things in tbe same light see
As clear as day ;
Yes, I will have you,” thus you’ll say.
“And your petitioner will ever pray,” 1c.
Forever and entirely thine
If with you I can shins.
So, let me kiss those eyes of fire,
A million scarce could quench desite.
O fairest nymph, who may with the lily boast,
The arcana of my thoughts and bealic vi
sions—
Here my machine broke down; so in plain
prosaic terms, will you come to “ tew?”
Johb H. Roper.
A Word to Writers.
We heartily endorse the following from the
’Field k Fireside, and commend it to tbe care
ful attention of young wrilers for tbe press :
“ Never ask an editor who has rejected
your manuscript his reasons for so doing.—
If he chooses to inform you, take tbe eriti-
oisms without debate. An editor is often ob
liged to decline articles wbiob, personally bo
would be glad to publish, because be thinks
them not such as bis readers may desire, or for
reasons equally valid. Remember, an author
usually sees merit in his article not percepti
ble to others, while there may be defects in it
of which he is not aware. It should be con
sidered that an editor’s time boa been consum
ed in (be cisminnii-n, and to ask more would
be to demand that wbicb should be devoted to
his readers. He Las undoubtedly, reasous for
tbe rejection, which to him are satisfactory.
Accept the fact in a kindly spirit, recollecting
that what these leaeone are ie of no very vi
tal importance to you.”
A Lady Duelist.
A curious fact is related as having taken
place at Berlin. At a first class hotel in that
city, a political discuesiou arose at the table
d'hote, which grew rather warm, during which
some personal remarks were passed between
two young men, hitherto strangers. They left
the table, end cards were exchanged ; tbe re
sult was that the young man, a stranger to
Berlin, sent a letter, requesting a due provis
ion of pistole.
Tbe letter, however, fell into the hands of
the sieter of the young man, who conceived
the ‘extraordinary notion of persooatiog her
brother, to whom ehe ie devotedly attaohed
—the idea of danger to him being more un-
supportable than death to her. As she Is very
like her brother, she trusted the truth would
not be discovered ; and she actually appeared
on the field at the appointed hour. The piece
of meeting was that where Herr van Hiokeldy
was killed some three or two years ago. The
opponent was, however, not deceived by this
false appropriation of tbe pantaloons, though
willing, out of gallantry, to humor tho fair
one, end frighten her for her frolic; oo he
took his place, end as he obtained tbe right
of the first fire, levelled bis pistol at hio anta
gonist for a time. She did not however flinch,
aad he was forced at last to fire in the air.—
The turn of the lady came, and she woe in no
wist nervous, about using her rights, and shot
the young man in tbe thoulder. Tbe wound
was slight. The matter is in the hands of the
police, and the newspawert have got seentof it,
an appears from a paragraph in the Kolnlsoh-
er Zeitung.
A Cure for Druukenueea*
There is a famous prescription In use in Eug.
land for the cure of drunkenness, by which
thousands are said to have been assisted ia re
covering themselves. The receipt came into
notoriety through tbe efforts of JohnVine Hall,
father of Rev Newmen Hall and Capt. Vine
Hall, commander of the Great Eastern steam
ship He has fallen into such habitual drunk
enness that hie most earnest efforts to reclaim
himself proved unavailing. At length he
he sought the advice of an eminent physician,
who gave" him a prescription which he fol-
lowwea faithfully, for seven months, and
at tbe end of that time bad lost all desire for
liquors although, he hod been for many years
led captive by a most debasing appitite. The
ramps, which be afterwards published 1 , aad by
uhieh eo many other drunkards have been aa
sieted to reform, ie •• follows : •• Sulphate of
iron, 5 grains; magnesia, 10 gratae; pepper-
mint water, 11 drachme; spirit of nutmeg, 1
drachm ; twiee a day.*'
This preparation act* on a toaio aad stimu
lant, and no partially supplies tha plane of the
ocouetomad liquor, and prevents that absolute
physical sad moral prostration that follows a
sudden breaking off from the use of stiraala-
latlog drinks. Anybody beginning fa aapnect
