First, a husband; second, a fortune;
third, a baby; fourth, a trip to Eu
rope; fifth, a better looking dress than
any of her neighbors ; sixth, to be well
buttered with flattery; seventh, to
have nothing to do in particular;
eighth, to be handsome, which is
sometimes commendable, since to be
plain, or less, is a defect; ninth, to be
thought well of, which is also coni'
mendable, except it be from those
whose opinions are worthless; tenth,
to make a sensation ; eleventh, to at
tend weddings ; twelfth, to be ahi ays
considered under thirty.
Smoking.
We love a good segar or a good pipe
as well as any one. We indulge in
smoking as a luxury, and because we
like to smoke. We do not object to
other folks smoking, but we believe
there is a time for everything and eve
rything should come in its time. We
agree with a New York exchange,
that “every man has a right to smoke
as much as he chooses, but he has no
right to offend his neighbors who don’t
smoke.” In all mixed assemblages,
there arc some persons to whom the
smell of tobacco is perfectly intolera
ble, and- among this class may be
counted the majority of ladies. Yet
the smoker, in his selfish enjoyment of
his segar or pipe, utterly ignores their
right to breathe the undefilcd air, and
obtrudes himself and his smoke upon
them at all times and all seasons.

77»e Presidential .Election -The
Neu's Reaches Kentucky—The X
Roads in Mourning.
Post Office, Confederit X Roads,
(Wich is in the State uv Kentucky.)
November 5, 1868.
Bad news travels fast. We hev
heered from enttff uv the States to
know’ that the butcher Grant—he wich
wunst afore stood in the way of the
Confederacy—hez bin elected Presi
dent, and Seymore and Blare, our gel
lorious standard-bearers, hev bin de
feated ignominiously.
This ends it! This finishes it!
There is no longer hope for theDemo
crisy. Our star is sot in gloom. Never
shell forgit the ghastly appearance
uv Dcekin Pogram’s face ez the fatal
nooze wuz told him. A single tear
rolled from his left eye down his fur
rowed cheek- it glittered for a brief
moment on the tip uv his brillyant
nose, and plunged off' into space ! How
like our hopes! Never a word sed
he, but sadly beckoned me to foller.
Sadly he walked to the square, mourn
fully he pulled down the Confederit
flag which hez waved from the pole in
front of Bascom’s, tenderly he folded
it, and placed it under the barl of
whisky in the bar. “Thar let it rest,”
gasped he in husky tone; “it will
never kiss the breeze no more.” And
overcome with emoshun, the good old
man bustid into a flood uv teers, wich
saved his life. The drain uv moisture
from his system made it necessary’ for
him to take suthin to fill its place, and
that suthin wuz strengthnin. To
save him I took suthin strengthnin
too.
And Ben Butler is elected. That
excellent Conservative Richard 11.
Dana, who has forgotten that ruffled
shirts went out uv date twenty yeers
ago, and still reads the Nashnel In
telligencer, sposin it to be a Whig
paper, is defeated, and Butler, who
w unst hung a Demokrat in Noo Or
leens, and who wood 'do that same
every mornin to give him an appetite,
is fastened to this here wunst happy
but now- distracted country for two
yeers more. Grashus hevens! send
the yeller fever to the Corners now-,
and finish us up to wunst.
I won’t say a word es to the causes
uv this most terrible defeat. Seymour
w ood make speeches, which hez alluz
bin fatlc to Presidcnshul aspirants,
and Blare w ood write terrible letters,
wich is just ez bad. Besides, Blare
fairly represents us, which druv off
all the decent people, and Seymour
ruthcr prides hisself on bcin a gentle'
man, wich chilled the ardor uv our
own party. The nominashens were
unforchnit, but I don’t reproach cm.
It’s fate.
I sigh, Deckin Pograrn sighs, and
the rest uv our circle wood sigh, only
they hevn’t returned from Injeany,
wher they- hev gone to vote in the
interest uv the Constitooshcn, and to
aid in the maintenance uv the laws. i
Sigh! I hev reasin to sigh. For
Pollock will git the Post Offis after
all, Tho his bands arc contaminated
by bein taken into the hands uv nig
gers—his hands wich handles kaliker
and draws molasses, and is conse
kently’ degraded by earnin his own
livin—his hands will pass out to Dee
kin Pograrn the paper w ich the Cor
ners takes! The Deekin, ez he thought
uv this, bust into teers agin. “I shel
stop that paper,” sez he, “and the
Corners shel go back into the darknis
uv ignorance. I shel never agin go
for a letter —nor will I ever hev one
w ritten for me to any body. When
a Ablishn face is at the general deliv
ery, I shel stop paternizin the Post
Offis !”
Will the new Administration de
prive a whole community’ uv a paper
merely to give one uv its supporters a
posishun ? We shel see.
But, I cood endoor the loss uv my
posishcuv—for prinsiple I kin look
marterdom squarely in the lace- but
1 see other and more terrible results
following this catastrophe.
Wat uv the niggers? Wat uv us?
We shel hev niggers votin at the
Corners ! We shot hev, at our poles,
all uv the black cusses who live be
tween here and Garrettstown a votin
ez regler ez though they wuz not uv a
cussid race. I see dark lines afore our
poor State. They w ill hereafter hold
the land wich they hev bought, and
wich they live on, by a share tenure,
and they" will increase and multiply.
Pollock w’ill buy’ their prodooce, and
they will work and get money. This
money they will lend to us—for we
must hev it to- sustain life—and they
will take morgages onto our land.
(When I say our, I mean Deckin
Pograrn and sich.) Ez we never work
ourselves, and will not hev, under the
present arrangement, the means uv
compcllin the labor necessary to our
support, we kin never pay; and the
result will be, this beautiful land uv
ourn, wich we so dcerly love, will
pass out uv the hands of the stronger
and better race into the control uv a
weaker and less powerful people.
The Dcekin was remarkin suthin to
this effect, when Joss Bigler remarkt
in reply that the Deekin lied better
throw himself onto the sympathy uv
his sons.
“Why, they can’t work any more
than I kin,” sed the Deckin.
“I don’t mean yoor white sons!”
sed this terrible Bigler. “ They ain’t
uv no akkount. But in the nigger
settlement at Garrettstown yoo hev
more than twenty who wood”—
The poor Deekin rushed out uv the
room, while Bigler last his most feend
ish lass.
The people will be deprived uv
ther innocent amoosfments. This
Grant will semi on armed hirelins,
clothed in ojus bloo, with muskets
and sich, who will prevent our shoot in
niggers, and who will perfect on ther
farms and in ther shops the ojus North
erners who hev settled in our midst.
We shell see the gellorious Southern
system decline stidily and shoorly.
The whippin-posts will rot and the
sto\ will decay; the yelp uv dorgs
will no more be heerd, and the cheer
ful crack uv the pistol and tho shreek
uv the man wat has got his gruel will
no more be heerd in all the land. Bas
com, after he hez the few farms still
unmortgaged in the vicinity, will
close, and go to Looisville and embark
in a wholesale groscry trade, and jinc
the church, and givclibrally to Sundy
schools; his groscry will fall into
dekay, and the sine will hang by one
hinge. We shall sec churches and
skool-houses, factories and villages
everywhere. The Pograrn place of
2,000 akers will be divided up into
twenty farms, and onto them farms
will be the bustlin Noo Yorker, the
cool, calculating Yankee, and the
stiddy, hard workin German—who
will display his grovelin nacher
by workin himself instid uv forcin nig
gers to do it for him. We shell be
run over with skool'inarms, deluged
with academies, plastered over with
noosepapers, stunned with machinery,
drove crazy by th? whirr, crash and
clash uv mowin machines and reapers.
And ther will be cheese made at the
Corners. Pennibaeker’s distillery will
be turned into a cheese-factry, and
weak whey will run wher now the
genrous high-wines flash along the
troughs. Ther will be no rectifyin at
the Corners—the hogpens will.be
abolished, and in ther sled will be skool
houses. And methinks I see in my
mind’s-cye Horasho, the sperit, the
ghost uv the departed Pograrn (for he
won’t survive it long), a hoverin over
the scene, ez Ilainlick’s father did. The
blessed shade will look in vain for- his
house —on the spot wher it stood will
be an academy. lie will turn to Bas
com’s, but ther he will find a deestrict
skulc. “To Pennibaeker’s!” he will
gasp in a sperit whisper, and with a
speritooal smack uv his speritooal lips
he will hover over it, but the smell uv
cheese in the place uv the strengthnin
odors in wieb he delites will send a
spiritooal shudder thro him. A gost
uv a tear will run down his speritooal
nose, linger for a niinnit at the tip like
a dew drop on the rose, and fall!
Then will the dissatisfied gostdemand
to be taken back to purgatory, a place
less tryin to his nerves.
Dcekin Pograrn hez On I < briteued
up wunst. A thot ffitsKed over his
mind wich gave him comfort for a min
nit. “Isn’t ther a Booth for Grant ez
ther wuz for Linkin?” askt he.
“Ah !” sed I, in alarm, “wood you
kill Grant to hev Colfax in his place?
We mite kill Colfax, say’ you? Alars!
sposn they’d elect Sumner ez President
uv the Senit? Kill Sumner? Good
Lord, no! They’d then elect Butler
Speaker uv the House, and he can’t
be killed. No, no. We hed better
bear the ills we hev than fly to them
we know not uv. It’s gone. All is
up with me and us I shel stay in
Kentucky for the present, tho wat may’
become uv me the Lord only knows.
Petroleum V. Nasby, P. M.,
(Wich is Postmaster.)
The Kindest Master-
I was talking one day to a very
cheerful old man, who was fond of
speaking of the masters whom he had
served. It was a pleasant thing to
hear him tell of how many kind, good
masters he had worked for.
“Had you never once a hard mas
ter.''' I said.
“Well, maybe I had, but I forgot
that sort; there’s no pleasure in think
ing of them."
I thought, as I left him, how much
better it is to try and remember about
the good rather than the evil that has
troubled our past lives ; and thinking
of masters put me m mind of the
best of all masters. “One is your
master, even Christ.” Our earthly mas
ter provide us work, give us leave to
toil, pay us wages for our industry,
and we thank them, and serve them
diligently; but our Heavenly Master
not only- gives us freely the health and
strength that enable us to toil, He pro
vides that we shall rest from our labor.
Ile gives us one day in seven as a
time of rist and refreshment. He
calls us to him, and says, “I will give
you rest." Do we think of that kind
Master as we should ? Are we
grateful that He so tenderly thought
of us as to provide for our repose and
rest? We know that “He giveth his be
loved slccp”-tliat great restorer of man’s
physical energies ; but not merely does
lie give us rest to sleep, He provides
for us a day of waking rest. On His
holy Sabbath we can “rest in the Lord”
—enjoy the sweet calm of a day when
all labor shall cease—when the tired
world, weary with its six days of anx
ious care and toil, can peacefully’ com
pose itself to rest. O, dear brother
workmen, let no vain desire forcarthly
ly pleasure of profit make yoti un
mindful of the claims of the best of
masters; for “Ilisyoke is easy and His
burden is light.”

Lively Prose. —The following para
graph has such a jingling sound,
that some people, who didn’t know
any better, might think it was
poetry’:
“There is a blithesome maiden that
lives next door to me; her eyes are
as black as midnight, and handsome as
can be. Iler cheeks arc full of dim
ples, and red as any rose; and then
this love of mine, too, has got a
Roman nose! I asked her if she’d
have me (that was the other night,)
ami this was her reply, friend:—
‘ Why, .Jimmy, yon arc tight!’ Says
I, ‘ I know I have, love, aboard a little
wine, but that is not the question—
will you, or not, be mine ?’ And then
she put her face, friends, as near mine
as she could, and with the sweetest
smile, friends, said simply that she
would —escort me to the door, if I
was ready to depart. And thus it
was the girl next door declined my
hand and heart.”

A Wife Disguises her Lover as a
Woman.
A curious phase in elopements was
developed last week in the northwest
ern corner of Brooklyn, otherwise
known as Greenpoint. " The particu
lars, as far as ascertainedable, are as
follows:
A married woman, residing in Oak
land street, between Meserole and
Norman avenues, has for some time
past frequently visited New York,
under pretence of seeing her sister.
On the 2.3 d of last month, on returning
from one of these visits, she brought
home a lady with her, who was intro
duced to her husband as Mrs. Cleve
land, an old schoolmate of the wife,
who wished to stay with the family
for a few days. The generous hus
band acquiesced in everything his
good wife wished, and no objection
was made.
Tho visitor was very timid, and not
used to the noise of the city, and was
afraid to sleep alone, so the wife re
tired with her to the room assigned
her, while the husband slept with his
children. This programme continued
until Monday of this week, when the
visitor, who had exceedingly enjoyed
her visit to her friend and neighbors,
departed for home. On election day
the wife took advantage of her spouse
remaining at home, to have him assist
her in getting carpets up, and shaking
the same preparatory to cleaning house
for winter. Ihus, on Wednesday’
morning, the house was in the utmost
imaginable confusion. On the hus
band’s return in the evening he found
his wife, family, ami household arti
cles all gone.'
Thursday developed the fact that
the wife had shipped her children to
Norwalk, Connecticut, to her hus
band’s sister; and she took tickets for
a tour Westward with the above-men
tioned Mrs. Cleveland, who turns out
to be a young man of effeminate char
acteristics. One of the children re
marked, on Airs. Cleveland entering
the house, that she acted something
like a man; but it was not then no
ticed. The furniture, money and val
uables taken amount to nearly §4OO.
The family has enjoyed a good reputa
tion, and this unlooked-for incident
has shocked the sensibilities of the
neighborhood, and afforded a topic for
what is locally known as “Orchard
Gossip.”
Why Ake there so Manx Bald-
Headed Men ?—-Why are so many’
bald-headed men and so few bald
women ? Why is it that the skulls of
young men in their twenties shine like
billiard balls? Why this spectacle of
bald-headed barbers rubbing the dry
tops of bald-headed men, recommend
ing invigorators warranted to produce
bushy locks in less than a fortnight,
while bald-headed spectators and mid
dle-aged men with wigs look on with
derisive smiles; though all the while
their wives and daughters throng our
streets covered with crowns of beauty,
and charming actresses toss their blonde
tresses in luxurious profusion on the
stages of our theatres? Our male
population will no doubt take a serene
satisfaction in saying that it is because
men have more to worry them than
women, and have the trouble of con
tr'ning not only how to support them
selves, but also how to support their
wives and daughters. Probably, how
ever, that is not the reason. Women,
of course, have finer and longer hair
than men, but men destroy their hair
by making ovens of their heads under
their hats, and thus heat the tops of
their craniums until the hair dies out
for very want of air. Men should
either take off their hats oftener or
ventilate them better.
Quarreling.—ls anything in the
world will make a man feel badly,
except pinching his fingers in the
crack of the door, it is unquestionably
a quarrel. No man ever fails to think
less of himself after it than before. It
degraded him in the eyes of others,
and, what is worse, blunts his sensi
bilities on the one hand, and increases
the power of passionate irritibility on
the other. The truth is, the more
peacefully and quietly we get on, the
better for our neighbors. In nine
cases out of ten, the better course is,
if a man cheats you, avoid him ; if he
is abusive, quit his company; and if
he slanders you, live so that nobody
will believe him. No matter who he
is, or how he misuses you, the -wisest
way is to let him alone ; for there is
nothing better than this cool, calm
and quiet way of dealing with the
wrongs we meet with.
—The new suspension bridge at
Niagara Falls, commenced over a year
ago, will be completed about the end
of November. The bridge extends
from a point just below’ the American
Falls to a point on the Canadian side
just below the Clifton House. The
span is 1,261 feet and four inches, and
the two cables are 1,900 feet long. In
each cable there are seven wire ropes,
each two and a half inches in diam
cter. The span is said to be longer
than that of any other suspension
bridge in the world.

Florida Matters,
Tallahassee, November 17.—A circular
of the “Unterrified Tiger” Committee,
published to-day, endorses and recommends
Col. Wm. M. Saunders as the people’s can

representative man of his race and of the
people of the South. Saunders takes the
stump at once.
A poetical description, of about one hun
dred lines, on the impeachment situation,
appeared, in Reed's interest, this morning.
It affords much amusement to the rebels,
so-chllcd.
Lieutenant-Governor Gleason issued, to
day, a proclamation dated yesterday, which
states that in the late special session of the
Legislature, a quorum of both Houses were
present; that Governor Reed recognized
them by sending messages to and transact
ing business with them; that twelve mem
bers of the Senate were present; that im
peach men t of an officer is in no sense
legislative business, but is exclusively judi
cial in its character, and such as may be
as well transacted at a special as at a regu
lar term; that the Constitution declares
that any officer, when impeached, shall be
deemed under arrest, and disqualified from
performing any of the duties of his office
until acquitted by the Senate; that Reed,
in gross contempt of all the people
of the State and their Assembly, which
impeached, and their Senate, the only
tribunal under the Constitution which has
jurisdiction in cases of impeachment, and
in violation of the Constitution of the State
refuses to deem himself under arrest, and
disqualified from performing any duties of
his office until acquitted by the Senate,
but arrogates to himself the right to pro
nounce impeachment void, and proceeds
in his office as if no impeachment be pre
ferred. That no citizen charged with
crime can set up his private judgment as
to the regularity of his impeachment, or
warrant for his arrest, and that the law in
this respect makes no difference between
one that is Governor and one who is not,
but requires all to submit to arrestand go
before the tribunal appointed by the Con
stitution to make their defence. Therefore,
proclaims that said Harrison Reed, Gov
ernor of Florida, is deemed by the Consti
tution under arrest, and disqualified
from performing any of the duties
his office until acquitted by the Senate,
and that powers have devolved upon him.
lie calls upon all citizens to aid him in
exercising the powers and discharging the
duties devolved upon him by the Consti
tution, and to put down the lawlessness
and anarchy which will inevitably ensue
if any man impeached or indicted, how
ever exalted his station, refuse submission
to arrest imposed by the Constitution.
The document is signed by W. H.
Gleason, Lieutenant and Acting Governor,
and countersigned by George J. Alden,
Secretary of State, and bears the impres
sion of the seal of the State.
Governor Reed also has a State seal
said to be a duplicate of the original.
