Tkc Novel of tlie Agcs-An old Tale Ever new, Thnekery once said there tvas no’hing new under and including the pun. King Solomon made a similar remark. A novel lately published illustrates the Raying, who ever originated it. It is called by a variety of names, and is familiar to every novel reader. The principal characters p.re our time honored young friends, (diaries and Ange lina, formerly Lubin and Chloe, once Cory don arid Phillis, alias Romeo and Juliet, and so on to the remotest antiquity. Their principal speeches are as follows; He—‘'Adorable creature 1 will you be mine? I offer you my hand and heart, to gether with superior inducements for ac cepting the same, consisting of a brown stone front, and unencumbered real estate, and first class securities.” She. —‘ Oljoct of ray affections! Your terms are entirely satisfactory to me, and no doubt will be equally so to my papa, to whom I beg leave to refer you.” (Falling into his arms ) There are plagiarisms more or less direct from the same old story, published at any time during the world’s history between this and the invention of letteY*, which is not dim to Professor Cadmus, by the way. but to Arm-Ah-Kim 80, twenty thousand years before his time. lie published the first edition of the story in China, even then a venerable tradition. In the edition of 1,500 it appears as .fol lows : He.—“ Sweet lady! I prithee reward with thy love thy lover true, who pledges thee his hand and heart. Oertes, I offer thee no unequal dower. These goodly towers and these broad and mains shall call thee mistress, and gold shall fill thy coffers.” ' She.—“My bosom’s lord, thy nobleness is well deserving my poor live, and well I trow wiJl win my sire’s consent. Good faith, in heaven’s name seek him.” [Lets down her back hair and sjooojjs.] Similarly in A. D. 1,000, they courted thus ; Flee—“ Fayre Ladye, bend thyne eyne on thy true knight and reward his devoir with thv love. By’r Ladye ! hee layes at thy feet guerdon meet for prize so high. My castle's strengthe shall lid defiance to ye Caitiff: toe. and gallant knights on yonder bmade demesne lay lance in reste to winne thy smylts, while churlish boors and mys believings, Jew’s shall furnish theyre broad pieces for thy largesse ” Shee. —“Alack, Sir Knight, I yielde moo true captive to thy wordes, succour or no sueeou". My ranaome is thy dowrie riche. Hie thee from my bouerre to ye Knight, my sire, and bid him greet s he Sonne.” swoons in the knight Jugs «r»w.] And in like manner through the early Saxon and ancient British iialects (which would be more unintelligible than lovers’ speeches generally are) the Latin and Greek, up to the original Chinese as aforesaid. The Irish version is: “Musba d.irlint, it’s lyin’ I am for ye this blessed minnit, glory be to shebang is lonely without ye, Judy, come acus'hla, there’s an iliigant path of two dir ty acres nr so, with praties and pigs galore and maybe a pound or two in his riverance’s hands, waitin’ to call you misthress.” “Be aisy, Pat; ye’re the divil’s own boy for blarney, God knows. Sure the ould man’s bey ant, and when ye’re dacent and sober vmi might ax him ” The" Scotch version reads thus: “Eh lassies! will ye tak me for your ain doe? There’s nae luck aboot the till ye bide in’t; and the bonnie farm and the wee hit stiller is nae sic bad investment.” “Hoot nwa, man ! dinna sash me wi your speerin. I doot ye mean weel, sue bide away mon, bide away ; the auld man’s by, and ye may e’en settle the case wi’ him.” ~ *. . The display of emotion is omitted by the last two ladies, but their sentiments are the same as the others, and the fortunes of the ovntlemen not different. Charlie goes to Parliament and Pat to the Common Council. Sir Reginald is elected to the Round Table and Romeo to the Council of Ten (or would have been if he hadn’t poisoned himself), j uhite Donald sits with the eiders in the kirk, ami is as fat, respectable and uninter esting as any of them. The chapters from which the foregoing specimens are taken wind up with these words; “To be continued,” which is true in every sense of the word. The rising generation will please tako^ notice.

At Council Bluffs the conductors got the names of ail passengers to California, which are telegraphed to the Pacific coast and published six days before the people arrive. A compositor from the Advertiser office at Norwich, Conn., recently walked from Norwich to New London, thirteen miles, in two hours and seven minutes. He was probably in pursuit of a.“fat take.” A Vermonter, calling himself Harrison J.

A lady in Fond du Lac, Wis., slipped on the ice and broke her leg, and the first remark she made after the accident was, “f w mder if Harry will marry ine now !” He did.

With all this cohesive power of public plunder about her clothes, there is no danger that .the nex r fellow that c >mes along will fail to stick. ’ They say the fleas are bad in California, and that ladies at balls carry a little ivory tipped instrument called a “scrateher.” No wonder everybody itches so to go to California. New York devours nearly a thousand .barrels of eggs a day.

Oo.dyn\ iyember elect from the sth Congvcisi.mal District of Georgia, and moved that he bo sworn in. Mr. Butler (Rep., Mass ) objected, and presented the mem rial of Thomas B. Baird, a contestant, claiming the seat, and moved ; that th« subject be referred to the Commit ! tee on E ectionw. The credentials of Mr. Corke”.,"which wf-re in due form and signed bv G vern r Bullock, having been read, Mr. Brooks j (Dem., N. Y.) contended that on the pre sentation of those credential’ l Mr. Corker was entitled as a matter of right to be ! sworn in. The Speaker decided that while in the organixatiop of the House it was the duty of the Clerk to place on the roll of members ail who held proper credentials, after the organization, the question became one l which was uuder the control of the majority. Mr. Butler sent to the Clerk’s desk and had rend the notice of contest, claiming that the election was carried by fraud and intimidation. He al<o sent to the Clerk’s de: !#and had read an extract (non a Demo cratic paper of Georgia, the Chronicle and Sentinel, of Augusta, detailing a Ku-Klux outrage in that State in breaking into a jail, taking out seven prisoners, cutting off their ears, and shooting another prisoner. He called upon the Union-loving men on either side of the House to say whether, with such allegations, and the proof appended, they would scat the member until the matter was inquired into. Seating him now would eud the whole contest, as the testimony could not bo taken and the question decided befortv the termination of this Congress. It would be in some sort sanctioning and ennobling crime. The House should recol lect that the district in question was the home of Alexander and Lonton Stephens, who aro still unrepentant rebels. Mr. Jones (Dem., Ky.) inquired whether the Democratic paper referred to did not condemn the outrage, and whether anybody was responsible for it except the Radical Government of Georgia. Mr. Butler retorted that the Democratic papers usually condemned these outrages, but never wanted the cr minals to be brought to justice. Ho referred to the declaration of the Momphis Appeal that the Federal Government was “a festering, recking corpse.” Mr. Jones remarked that he could pro duce emanations of the samo character from Wendell Phillips and other Radicals. Mr. Young (Dem., Ga.) said the remarks of Mr. Butler were only the repetition of the stale old story of Southern outrages, lie might send up the Police Gazette to show the state of society in Northern States; but tnose stories were all exaggera tions. lie claimed that the election was fairly conducted, and that Corker had re ceived over 6,000 majority. There had been United States soldiers stationed at every precinct in the district, so that there could not have been any intimidation. Mr. Niblack (Deni., Ind ) inquired whether the whole Executive powee in Georgia, both State and National, and al most all the judicial power, was not in the hands of members of the Republican party. Mr. Young—Every bit of it. Mr. Niblack—Then the fault lies at the door of the Republican officials, instead of at the door of the Democrats. Mr. Butler remarked that, in the ease of the outrage alluded to, the State officials had done their duty in having those men in prison. They were there in execution of the law, and were taken out against the execution of the law. Mr. Kerr (Dem., Ind ) also argued in support of the right of Mr. Corker to be sworn in. Mr. Coburn (Rep., Ind.) reminded him of the recent action of the Indiana Senate in depriving a member of bis seat. • Mr. Kerr disclaimed all knowledge of the facts in that case, but had no doubt that the action of the Senate was justified by the facts. Mr. Farnsworth (Rep., 111.) supported the absolute right of the person holding the proper credentials to be sworn in when there was nothing alleged against his qual ifications. He did not want to make a pre cedent now which would return to plague them hereafter. He was not to be drawn away by false issues. Mr. Daws (Rep . Mass.) was afraid that the representations ol his colleague (Mr. Butler) as to the condition of Georgia were true, but at the same time if anything had been settled from the beginning of Congress to this day, it was that a certificate which a member brings from bis State, in conform ity to the law, entitles him as a prima facie case to admission, except on allegations against his eligibility. • That bad been the uniform practice of the House undisturbed, except in the notorious New Jersey case, of uh-ch all parties concerned were ashamed.

Ambitious pullets are prohibited from attempting to cover and hatch over one peck of eggs at a time. Every rooster’s family shall stay in their own barnyards, except on holidays. No gossiping allowed among the ducks and geese, as that privilege in especially reserved fur bipeds. Racing, betting on election, running for office, or etfending sewing societies, are con sidered objectionable, as tending to confus ion in the hennery. The aversion of geese to feather beds is commended ns entirely natural. Boosters, as heads of families, are expect ed to comport themselves with dignity, and to be in nights, before Mrs. Biddy has taken her second nap. Shanghais are requested to retain thdr growth at six feet seven, as greater altitude is suggestive of attenuated stilts. Gobler and goose music is to be cherish ed at all times, but a due regard for weak nerves will prescribe a limit to even these dulcet notes. Four o'clock in the morning is the earli est hour at which roosters will be allowed to commence their matutinal serenades. Iron Dolts, rocks, bits of crockery, old rubber-shoes, hand-saws, tin-pans, anil nails are considered essential to hen diges tion, but they should not be taken in un reasonable quantities. Oue egg is considered a fair day’s work for a hen, and the association will lrown on any ex'ra exertion in that direction as del eterious to the Constitution/ For fear that our readers havo forgotten the circumstance, it would be well enough to remark that we nro Vice-President of the Northern New York Poultry Associa tion. Tht Cfmtu.4--Clttej* with over ‘40,000 Pop ulation. The Philadelphia Press publishes a list of cities in the United States with more than 20,000 inhabitants, in which, etrango to say, Atlanta is not found. There are only fourteen cities with populations of 100,000 and upwards, and they stand in the following order: Population Population Inc. in 1870. in 1800. per ct.

According to the table in the Press, only two cities in the Union show an actual de crease since 1800, viz: New Bedford, Massachusetts, and Savannah—the first being credited with a decrease of fuur, and the latter of ten per cent. Von Moltke. A correspondent of a German paper, writing from Versailles, gives the following details : “I wish you could onco eat with mo in the evening, at G o’clock, in the Hotel des Reservoirs.” lie writes : “There you could perceive almost all the men that have be come famoiiß during the war. But the centre of attraction is General Count Von Moltke. When be enters the dining room, everybody, reigning monarchs, royal high ness, etc., rush with one motion to greet the great man. When he lights a cigar after dinner, and seems to enjoy it, looking around the room with an air of calm con tentment, this is a sign that everything goes well with the army. This little thing is watched with a great deal of interest bv everybody, and his going or staying after dinner is, as it were, a political thermome ter. From thirty to thirty-six other prom inent officers dine at the table at which the old general is eating.” A Stw Mode of Evolving Light. Mr. Andrew Pritchard writes to ‘‘Nature” as follows; “A singular phenomenon of the evolution of light has been recently observed fy me. By tearing sharply a piece of twilled calico into strips in a room well guarded from light, a perceptible lumi nosity was clearly distinguishable, which appeared at its maximum at the final part ing of the fabric. This phenomenon is exceed ngly well marked in dry, uew cali co, end appears to me due to the dressing, as after being washed no light is evolved. Whether attributable to electricity, phos phorescence, or fiuorescpDce, I leave for further investigation. Tbo light appears similar to that produced on breaking a lump of sugar in the dark. So far ss I can jtscertain, the phenomenon of light being evolved on tearing a fabric is new.” Both Side*. Many years since, when it; was the prac tice of the American Consuls at the Sand wich Islands to be present at all trials of American sailors for breaches of the peace, the Consul, at a trial before the sturdy old magistrate and native, Gov. Kekuanoa, objected to the testimony of an islander, on the ground that it was false. The Governor replied : “Yes, I am perfectly aware of that, but so was the sailor’s ; let us hear both sides, and then decide the matter.” A Dcbc-qu* wile cannot hear any one shout “rut?” without fainting. Whenever her husbarvl wants a quiet evening he yells the word in her ear. NO. 11.
