A friend of mine and.I, came across a
“ spooning” couple the other night,
and a remark wo chanced to hear, in
duced him to relate this store: Not
long ago, at a Mansion on Murrey’s
Hill, a sentimental young lady strolled
with a gentleman, on whom she had
her eye, into the conservatory. Look
ing up pensively into bis face, with
tears in her voice, she said, “ Ab, no

one does!” “Yes?” she said, drop

There fa danger of another know-

aspiring Radicalism; for the Republi- *

ducting a rigorous crusade against the
Catholic church, aud the league will
be usedr we predict, to support the
ghost of Republicanism in the next
presidential campaign.—Atlanta Con
