DO YOU THINK IT A MA T Do you think it a sin in the gloaming To sit near a neat fitting dress. With tlie daintiest of maidens within it, And lily-vi kite finders to press; Dr softly to lift astray ringlet, That floats o’er a bosom of snow, Or "to peep into eyes that are glancing From darkly fringed eyelids below? Or to see just beyond where she’s sitting A something you o,ujs(p u> .repair. And pass yoAyj* arm gvoid tier and fix it, And tlrtif (TOggi ypuf Irm is there; Or. just in tlwH oi - a’>B)t»«e*ioii. To ti'll "mething you miss, And while she -^ helping you to find it. To steal from her mouth a sweet kiss? And as she’s reproving you mildly. You dra\. in your arm rather tight, And tell her you’re nrry you did it, If she does not think it quite right; And then in your penitent moment You say that to you it is plaui You ought, as a matter of honor, To give her the kiss back again. Yet how to do so is the puzzle. For in viewing the matter all oVr, If I give back the kb 1 have st-len, She might say 1 had taken one more! Oh, 1 ain sadly terplexed and confounded, I want to be just and polite, Don’t yon think that ’twere belter to coax her To give me to kissing the right? Pmafiaid I’ve committed a blunder, And acted somewhat like a dance; I think l mu t get up my courage, And ask her to wed me at once, I’ve done it--and she Ins consented What a fortunate man I have been ! And now you may keep your opinion- I don’t think I’ve committed a sin. It is twonly-fivo yoars npo since mj lit!le story began, ami I wonder whtil made tnc remember il tn-d. y. Nothing in the snrroundiiifr oircumsttuiees, I am sure; yet, in the m .it of tl is crowfled fiity, wliile the streets were yet full of listht and life, all at once I thought ol that gray, cool evening, the silent sweet ness of tl»e lonely garden, and the plain live cry fil soiiii! Inst lamb on the moun tains. My uncle lad gone nearly two hours before to see a dying child in tin village; but the twilight lingers I ng in the northern latitude, and, so, though il was nearly ten o’clock, I put ’'ti my hat and sauntered down to meet him. I had no! far to go, but I win nntonished I to find him 'accompanied by a young man known as ‘‘Dark llarry Ilenshawe.” Both of them seemed to ho under great emotion, the doctor took my bund silent ly, and young Henshuwe neither luiscd his eyes nor r.| ened his mouth. I knew that he had a very had name in all the country side, ami that tlio shadow of a gM at crime hung over him, therefore rny astonishment was still greater when he followed my anede into his study, and, after remaining there a few minutes, went away again without speaking a woid to any one id the family. ‘VYcfl.’saiu aunt Mary, ‘after that what?' ‘Uncle, to supper, I suppose; perhaps he will explain.’ But lie did not until prayers wore over and the servants wore in their room, then lie told us that Harry had dr tnanded money of him on bis way home, in a way which left no doubt as to liis inten tions. ‘What did you do, uncle? D.d you give him money?’ ‘I said, No, no llarry; what I have on rue is riot worth the taking; hut if you will walk beside me, and toil me all your trouble, I will lend you enough to make a man ot yen again.’ Aunt Mary looked injured, and her knitting needles spoke for her. ‘Don’t be grieved, wih I The lad lias been driven to desperation by false ac cusations, and be is innocent, and upon my word, I intend to help him to prove it.’ ‘How? By a pew trial?’ ‘No, by anew life. I have lent him SIOO, and he lias gone to Texas.’ ‘Not a very good reformatory school, I should think.’ ‘Where God directs the discipline, ev ery school is good. Come, wife, be. hopeful and charitable. ’ Next day I heard from aunt Mai v something of the young mail’s hi lory, j Three summers ago, he bad formed the j acquaintance of a gentleman who, part ly as a tourist and partly as a sports-j man, had spent si vnrul months in I'e neighborhood. For many weeks their friendship bad been a marvel, then fa miliarity bred Contempt, or jealousy kin-| died hatred. They quarrelled openly ; and furiously.. Three days afterward.- tiie body of the stranger was found ter ribly mangled at .the foot ol Harrow’s 1 cliff, and Harry was am Ui-d for the murder. He was eventually uoquitti and j for want of evidence, but he found every j one’s face dark and every one's heart; hard against him; not evon.the woman he loved believed him innocent, and he; suffered keenly from that negative pnu sl.ment, which is more grievous than many Btripes. He sunk lower and low er, and the previous night in a drunken ; brawl had struck to the ground one of his companions. Not caring to under go the iiapris.unieut and suspense, which would be the result, tie stopped my uncle and demanded money' to line j with. He got it, and oneti ing far bet tor, ‘for .every gilt of noble origin is breathed upon by hope’s perpetual breath.’ I Uiought at intervals of the dark, reckless face, which hau looked I into my life for a moment and then he pa-sed, us I supposed, forever into the j shadow land of memory Twelve years afterw»t(ls, I found my- self one hot day in August sailing up the Buffalo bayou, a beautiful lagoon in southeastern Texas. Up the narrow stream, darkened by its arcade of live oaks and magnolias, wo slowly made our way. The hot perfumed air, the un real spectral look of everything, gave me the sensation of dreaming. On all tlie crew and passengers a kind ol hush- j ed tranquility hud fallen, broken only by the slow laboring of the engine, or the lazy thud of some alligator taking the ; water. 1 noticed now, for the first | time, how silence is intensified by sym pathetic numbers; then it is complete, !“a loneliness to lie felt,” bill the son! bathes in such stillness, and hears in it "something that throws antiquity itself to the foreground.” It lasted long; but juntas 1 was beginning to feel it ops pl'ensive, wo came t > an opening in the dense fi.ffng ■, and a clear strong voice said, ‘Wake up stranger! this is (lie halite tii id ol San Jae nto.’ That we gathered round him wh'de he told, in words that moved the heart like a trum pet, the old story over again. How the land was s el; with tyniiuny, and could I he cured with nothing hut blood, And the trees parted more and mure and , more, and the moon shone full on the speaker, suddenly there came to my re membrance the cold, fresh northern air, the solemn mountains ami the misty moorland ;, and 1 said ‘Harry Ilenshawe?’ ‘That is inv name, madam. Harden mo if 1 forget yours.’ ‘You never heard mine, lint yon will remember (’a.uhrook, ami the old man vvlnni everybody called Dr. Will.’ Then ho took mv hand and kissed it, just as 1 had seen him kiss my node's when they stood together in the dying daylig t, the savior and tlio saved. When we wore alone, lie told me the subsequent history-—there Jwas nothing remarkable.in it, lie had hired himself to a large sleek raiser, tail tiad prosper ed so well that now lie himself owned a (\\]£ rancho and quite a patriarchal num ber of horses, eattlo and sheep. ‘Are you married?’! asked. ‘No, no!’ Im replied sorrowfully, ‘An nie turned against mo in my trouble, ami I’ve been all aid to trust another woman. ’ i Alter a few minutes’.silence, bn added, ‘My home is in the far W est, beyond San Antonio and it is hardly likely wo shall meet .tg iin.’ ‘But the eternal future is bolero us, If we part In re which way do you go?’ ‘Heavenward, rnadarn, I trust,’ and he 1 1 Hiked into my face with a gravu but Inq py assurance - ‘My uncle s loan is paid, I suppose?’ ‘Tlie emi of the first year saw the principle paid; the interest I pay regu larly to every Hour miseratilo lellow I see. If I say a word of promise to some despairing wietclt, I tell him that is will Dr. ill said to lie 1 ; and il I In Ip him with a few needful dollars, f say, ‘That Is tlm inn rest of what l)r.

A COURT INCIDENT. One of the prominent ornaments of the Bar, celebiated lor I.is genial disposition, found himself, about tlio e!"se of the war, washed ashore, high ami dry pecu • niarially.iu the city of Richmond, where lie was forced to hang out his shingle and commence practice in the, Hustings Court. One of his first clients was a youth who bad been arrested at the in stance of a respectable negro man of family for having “rocked’ his house, and severe y injured bis dnnghtor with a stone thrown through the window. At the examination, old I’ompey was put. upon the stand, and proved the charge with such undeniable terms that it would have gone hard with our friend’s client, had it imt been for the following cross-examination: Lawer—Yetrsay one stone came info the room whom you were sitting with your familv, and struck your daughter? I‘omp—Yes, boss. Lawyer— \V hero did it strike her?” l’etnp. (silent for a while.) —I don’t | like to tel l , boss. j Lawyer—But you must fell. I do , maud again, where did it strike hoi ? Pomp.—l)at all foolishness, boss. 1 tell you it hit her: I dont like to tell w here’fore ib se ladies in court. Lawyer—But you must answer, where did it flit, her? Pomp, (slowly)—On the buzzmn; boss. Lawyer—Well, how severely did it injure her? Pomp.—Oh, quit dis foolishness, I ain’t gwinc to tell. Lawyer—Again I must insist upon my questiou being a’nswored. Did it in jure liei? Pomp.—(in despair.;—No, said it did not in. j urn her, but it broke three fingers of a gentleman that was paying ’leulion to her. Tlio ease was dismissed immediately for want of jurisdiction. An Apt fuuilayifehoof Scholar. The following story although not new, has sufficient point and humor to merit its piiblieaJioii at least once a year. Some roguish hoys in a town near the eapitol of New Hampshire, persuaded •Joseph Jasper, or as lie was generally called, Joe, to attend the Sabbath School. Jue was an over grown, half-witted, profane lad, and the boys anticipated fun; but tin: various questions propound ed to him. were so readily and correctly a igwcrcd, that no one could suppose that lie was not versed in theological lores. Joe was duly nshcrreil in and placed on a suttee in front of one on which his companions were seated, and the exami iitili ii commenced. The teacher first questioned the class ! mi their regular lesson, and then turned 111 Jo., “My friend, who made the world we inhabit.” Jii»t as lie was probably about to answer the quest ion, one of the boys seated behind him inserted a pin into his (Joe’s) pants, about nine inches be ; low the ornamental buttons on his coat, I "God Mhn'ghtlyl” answered Joe, at i the same lime rising Ur his feet, j “That i-correct,” answered the ti itch ier, “but it is not necessary tlmt you -j 1 ii>u l l rise in answeiing: a sitting post ure is just ar Well.” i Joe was seated and tho catechism 1 proceeded. “\Vl,o died to save the world?” “Jesus Christ!” in a louder tone than before, again rising to Ids feet. “That is coreect but do not manifest so mucb feeling; do be a little more re served in your manners,” said the teach er in an expostulating tone of voice. “What will bo Die final doom of all wicked men?” was the subject now for consideration, and us the pdn was again stuck in, Joe thundered out, with a still higher elevation of Ids body: “Hell and damnation I” “My friend, vou give the answers to j all questions correctly, Int while you j are hero wo wish you to boa lilt o more j mil 1 in your words. Do, il you can, re- ; ; strain your en’lliil-iiuin, and give a less | j extended scope to your feelings.” How to Thai’ Chows. — Tlio Poultry , Chronicle gives tlie following mo b: of trapping crows, which will interist tho j toys: "The quickest and surest ti ap , for crows is to phioe a trap in tnc j shallow water of a pond, so that the i jaws, when open, are just under tlio water.

They do not cotnpro- Imnd the frets ill the relation to the pub lication and support of papers. In the first place, the terms of nearly all the city papers arc the same as country pa pers—s 2 for a single copy —and the only way they get them for loss than that price i« by clubbing, and sending for a number of copios a!]u time. Then again they must invariably send tlio money in advance, which they very seldom do for tln-ir county papei . But tho principal diferonoe consists in the fact that it costa tho publisher of tho county paper tho same to set his type that it does tho city publisher, and setting the type is tho' piincip il expense in publishing of small circulation. Alter the typo is once set, the expense in merely then for the blank paper and presswork, and the paper with an' hundred thousand subscribers is very profitable attwodollais—of course tho largo city papers contain a larger a mount of reading nutter than country papers, hut which is most interesting? That's the question. Do thecity papers say anything in regard to your own county? Nothing. Do they Contain notice of your schools, chinches, meet ings, marriges, and hundreds of other local matters ol interest which tho coun ty papers publish without pay? Not an item. Do they ever say a word calcula ted to draw attention to our county and Us numerous thriving towns, and aid itr our progress aid enterprise? Not a line. Dad yet there arc men who tako the contracted view of this matter that unless they are getting as many square inches of reading matter in their county paper as they no in their county paper as they do in their city paper, they are in t getting the worth of their money. It re minds ns of the person who took tho lar gest pair td boots in the box, simply be cause tney cost the same as the pair that lit. True Love, nacl Love of Love.- Many women suppose that they love, when unfortunately, they have not tho I)- ginning ol an idea what love is. Lov ing to lie admired hy a man, loving to' hr petted hy him, and loving to ho ca ressed by him, loving lo bo praised hy him, is not loving a man. All these may he when a woman has no power of loving at, all; they may all he simply because she loves herself, and loves to he Haltered, praised, caressed, Coaxed, ns a cat lilies to he coaxed ami stroked, and fed with cream, ai.d have a warm corner. But all this is not love It may exist, to ho sure, where there is love, it is a life out »1 self and in another, its very essence is the prefering of the cotrif >rt, the ease, the wishes of another to one’s own for the love we hear them. Love is giving, and not tecuiviug. Love is not a sheet of blotting paper, ora sponge, sucking in everything to itself; it is an oiitspring fountain, giving from itself. Love's motto has been dropped in this world us a chance gem of great price by him who said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Now, in love, there are ten receivers to one giver. Tl ere are ten persons in this world who like to be loved, and lovo' love, where there is one who knows how to love. That, ladies, is a nobler attain ment tl tin all your French, and music,- and dancing. You may lose the very power of it by smothering it under a load of self indulgence. By living just as you are all wanting to live-—living to be petted, to 1)0 tlaltored, to bo ad mired, to he praised to have your own way, and to do only which is easy and agrees Idee—you may lose the power of loving notify and worthily, and become a mere sheet of blotting-paper all yoor life.
