MR DUFFY’S VALENTINE.
BY MAX ADELF.R.
I shall not attempt to supply from
tny imagination a story suitable to
Naint Valentine’s day. Rather I will
relate wilh what teudcrucss I can the
simple and pathetic furls in the case of
jinny.
Jim Dully loved. 7/e was not singu
lar in this—other Dully’s had done the
same thing; but it was Jim Dufly’s
peculiar fortune that while he loved
but one woman, two women loved him.
Miss Smith was the beautiful blue-
eyed being to whom lie had giveu his
heart, aud to whom he would cheerfully
have given his liver or his ribs, or any
other portion of his framework, if the
customs of society had made such an
antomicai surrender proper.
Miss Clamm was the faded flower
who had fixed her baMered and ven
erable affections upon Mr. Duffy with
out any provocation having been
offered by him, and Mr. Duffy hated
Clamm with as much intensity as lie
loved Smith, because Clamm would
always fasten to him at church meet
ings and the evening companies, and
gush over lo him in the presence of
the people, and insist upon his com
pany home at the very moment when
lie had determined to escort Miss
Smith.
And so, when St. Valentine’s day
came around, Duffy thought it would
be a clever idea to'seml a proposal of
marriage to Miss Smith, and at the
same time to cool the enthusiasm of
Clainm with au outrageous comic
valentine of some kind. He proeui ed
oue of these immctliatcly and then
wrote to his only Smith a note be
ginning with “Dearest.*’ and euding
with “Yours till death.” Unhappily
it came to pass that Mr. Duffy pfnceij
each of these papers in the wrong en
velopes; and while the comic affair
went away to Smith, a direct proposal
proceeded’ lo Clamm. Nothing could
have been more unfortunate, for no
sooner did the aforesaid Clamm re
ceive Duffy’s note than aac suddenly
did up her back hair, put on her bon
net, assumed her umbrella and gum
shoes, and started by the shortest
route to Juices Dully’* 'residence.
When the door was opened, she
dashed past the Hired girl aud into
tho kitting room, where, finding Jim
reading a newspaper, site flung her
broil a upon his corn, and exclaimed:
“Take me, take me, James! Take
me, dearest! I am your*—yours for
ever!”
As soon as Mr. Duffy regained his
presence of mind, lie struggled to dis
engage himself, while he attempted
to explain to her that lie should not
take her; that he did not want her;
that she was not his forever, or for
five minutes, and that if she did not
remove her forehead from his vest,
and her umbrella from ibe vicinity of
his toe, he should be compelled to cal!
the police. Rut Miss Clamm would
hear of no explanation. 8he nestled
closer and closer to his waistcoat, cried
into his watch pocket, aud kept pluug-
ing her umbrella about with such er
ratic vigor that Mr. Duffy's left foot
continually executed half of the waltz
movements in effort to save its most
sensitive excrescence from torture.
But at last, when Clamm murmured
something about fixing the wedding
day and making it soon, Jim Duftv
tore himself a way. aud lied to the
garret, where he .locked the door and
tied the trap down with the rope,
lest the invincible Clamm should
burst in upon him from that direc
tion.
Meantime Miss Smith received the
comic valentine; and recognizing
Dufly’s handwriting upon the envel
ope, she was deeply pained, and shfc
thought she. might indirectly obtain
comfort and explanation ot tlie matter
by calling on Mr. Duffy. So she sailed
out aud reached the bouse.
It happened by a very strange coin
cidence that her bonnet and cloak
bore a kind ot general resemblance to
those worn by Clamm; and Do fly,
when be beard tbe door-bell zing,
looked out from the garret window
and felt certain that the remorseless
Miss Clamm had returned for tlie pur
pose of impressing more firmly upon his
mind that she was his forever, and lie
could take her. So Dufly did a most
scandalous and ungentlemanly thing.
He emptied a bucket of water out on
the figure below.
Miss Smith went borne damp and,
indignant A little while after her
return, Clamm, being in pursuit of
Duffy, called on Miss'Smith, hoping to
find him there. She waited in the
parlor while Miss Smith changed her
clothing, meanwhile it really occurred
lo Mr. Duffy to go to Smith’s and ask
for an answer to his proposal.
It was a sunny day ana the snow
was ujion the ground. The parlor
and entry were gloomy, and when
Duffy went in he could hardly see a
hand brevlth before him. He per
ceived the indisdinct lin«s # of a wo
man's figure. He was of course sure
that it was Smith. He felt certain that
she was about to express her feelings
by action rather than in language.—
So Duffy folded her in bis arms, and
kissed her forehead, and asked her if
she really loved him. She whispered
yes; and as they stood there, while his
heart overflowed with joy, and he
•ndered why Miss Smith should sit
in her own parlor with her umbrella
in her hand, the wind blew’ one of the
shutters open suddenly, and at the
same moment in walked Miss Smith.
It was—but no. I shall not try lo
describe that siuation. It is impossi
ble. Everybody wa« agitated but
Clamm. James Dufly was dumbfound
ed and horror-stricken.
Miss tfm'th was amazed and luri-
is; hut Clainm was collected—she
was cool—she appeared to enjoy eve
rything; and she would probably have
fallen upon Jim Duffy's shoulders and
cooed to let Miss Smith sec how nice
i, had not Duffy dodged, as he
saw her coming, and permitted her
to smash her bonnet against the sola
cushion.
Then Mr. Dufly undertook lo tell
iss Smith how it was, but naturally,
after all that had happeued, she was
too much enraged to hearken to him,
and she ordered both visitors from the
house. They departed, Clamm with
the hook of her umbrella handle firmly
fixed in the pocket of James Dufly s
overcoat.
Rut when they reached the street,
Duffy, in his agony aud anger, ex
pressed his feelings upon the subject
of Clamm in such a violent aud un
mistakable manner, that even she was
convinced. And when she asked him
if he intended to marry her au-
said no, she left him and proceeded at
once lo a lawyer, who begau suit fora
breach of promise against Dufly, anti
took it into court the next week.—
Duff/'’s letter to Smith was read in
evidence, and datum made Smith
testify as to the proceedings in her
parlor, which cut up the defendant
horribly. Clamm herself sat there all
the time weeping, for the put pose of
harrowing up the feeling of the jury
men, who gave a verdict of six thou
sand dollars damages to the plaiutitf,
whereupon the plaintitf instantly be
gan to organize war upor a fresh
man. .
Jim Duffy is still single, l know
him well. lie scorns to hate women;
aud whenever he has to write a note
to one, lie takes it out of the envelope
fourteen or fifteen times to assure 1 im-
sclf that he has the right document,
and that a technical analysis could not
detect an offer of marriage in it.—

Medical Declaration Concern
ing Alcohol.
In view of the alnrmiug prevalent.
and ill-effects of intemperance, with
which none are so familiar as members
of the medical profession, and r, liich
have called forth from eminent Eng
lish physicians the voice of warning
to the people of Great Britain concern
ing the use of alcoholic beverage*,
the undersigned, members of the med
ical profession of New York and
cinity, unite in the declaration that
we believe alcohol should be clashed
with other powerful drugs; that w hen
prescribed medicinally it should be
with conscientious caution aud a sense
of grave responsibility.
We are of the opinion that the
of alcoholic liquors as a beverage i-
productive of a large amount of phy
sical disease ; that it entails diseased
appetites upon oflapring, and that it is
the cause of a large percentage of the
crime and pauperism of our cities and
country.
We would welcome any judicious
and effective legislation—State and
national—which should seek to con
fine the tratBc in alcohol to the legiti
mate purposes of medical and other
sciences, art, and mechanism :

Thfe True Story of the First Tel
egram.
The bill met. wilh neither sneers nor
bpi>osiliop in the Senate, but the busi
ness of the house went on with dis
couraging slowness. At twilight on
the last e%’en:ng of the scssiou, (March
3,*1843,) there were 119 billsliefore it.
As it seemed impossible lor it 10 be
reached in regular course before the
hour of adjournment should arrivojbe
Professor, who hail anxiously watched
the lardy movements of husiuessall day
from the gallery of the Senate cham
ber, went with a sad heart to his hotel
aud prepared to leave for New York
at an early hour the next morning.—
While at breakfast a servant informed
him that a young lady desired to see
him in the parlor.
There he met Miss Annie Ellsworth
then a young school-girl—tlie daugh
ter of his intimate friend, Hon. Henry
L. Ellsworth, the first Commissioner
of Patents—who said as she extended
her hand to him; “I have come to
congratulate you.”
“Upon what?” inquired the Profes
sor.
“Upon the passage ol vour bill” she
replied.
“Impossible ! Its *fate was scaled
at dusk last eveuiug, you must be mis
taken.” :
“Not at all” she replied. “Father
sent me to tell you that your bill was
passed. He remained uiitil the ses
sion closed, and yours was the last bill
but one acted on, aud was passed just
live minutes before the adjournment,
and I am so glad to be the first one to
tell you. Mother says, too, that you
must come homo wilh mo to break
fast.
Tbe invitation was readily accepted,
and the joy of the household was un
bounded. Both Mr. and Mrs. Ells
worth had fully believed in tbe proj
ect, and the former, in his confidence
in it, and iu his warm friendship tor
Professor Morse, had spent all the clo
sing hours of the session in the Senate
chamber, do ng what he could to help
the bill along, and giviug it all the in
fluence of his personal'and official po
sition.
Grasping the hand of his young
friend, the Professor thauked her again
for bearing him such pleasant tidings,
and assured her that she should send
over tne wires the first message as her
reward. The matter was talked over
in the family, and Mrs. Ellsworth sug
gested a message, which Professor
Morse referred to the daughter lor her
approval, aud this was the one which
was subsequently scut.
A little more than a year alter that
time the line between Washington and
Baltimore was completed. Professor
Morse was in the former city, and Mr.
Alfred Vail, his assistant in the lat
ter—the first in the chamber of the
Supreme Court, the latter in the
Mount Clare Depot—when, the circuit
being perfect, Professor Morse sent to
Miss Ellsworth for her message, and
it came—
“What hath God wrought?”
It was sent in triplicate, in the dot
and line language of the instrument,
to Baltimore, and the first message
ver transmitted by a recording telc-
rupli.—Scribner's Monthly.

If the type arc too large, it don’t
ontain enough reading matter.
If we publish telegraph reports peo
ple, say they are lies.
If we omit them, they say we have
no enterprise.
If we have a few jokes, people say
wo are a rattle-head.
If we omit them, they say we arc an
old fossil.
publish original matter, they
damn us for not giving selections.

If wc do not, all hands say wc arc a

If wc insert an article that pleases
the ladies, men become jealous.
If wc do not cater to their wishes,
his paper is not fit to have in the house.
It we remain in the office and at

If we go out, they say we never at

If wc publish poetry, wc affect sen

Dr. Hall says: Eat regularly three
times a day, aud never between meal*.
Take with j - ou one-third more mon
ey than you calculate on spending.
Take small hills rather than large,
to avoid haring bad money passed on
you in exchange.
Aim to be at your place of starting
at least ten minutes before the time,
and grow merry and wise, at the. con
templation of the sputteringb and mis.
haps of those who come in at the last
minute, and half minute later.
8cc that your baggage is on the
conveyance before you are yourself.
Remember that you make your
character a* you go along, by the qui
et courtesy of your manners.’
Only boors are boisterous.
Do not let the servant excel you in
patience and politeness.
“Please” should commence every
request and "thanks” end every ser

A lady is always gentle, a gentle

Never argue on any subject if there
are more than one present besides

Never fail to’set that person down as

The Celebrated Snuff Men.
The Atlanta Sun of April 2Sth, men
tion a circumstaucc in connection
with the Lorillards, the great snuff
aud tobacco men of New York, which
sbold be known to every • Southern
deafer. ,
A prominent tobacco dealer of that
city visited the Lorillard establishment
for the purpose of making extensive
purchases of snuff and tobacco. Be
fore making his purchase, however, he
in'cimcd the business man of the con-
that he had been solicited by the
Lee Monument Association, to estab
lish agencies in that city, for the sale
of the pictures of General Lee and
asked this business man if he would
subscribe for one. lie received a most
abrupt apd iusulting answer after t^s
wise: “Sir, I would not permit the pic
ture of such a traitor and rebel to
come into my house, if I knew it, much
less encourage the building of a monu
ment to his mciuoiyby paving my
money for it. I think it an insult for
you to ask me to do such a thing.” On
being asked by the Atlantaian it he
did not care for Southern trade, he re
plied. “that he would not give a cent
lor it.’
Here is an illustration of that grati
tude which is spoken of as bciug more
strong than traitor's arms. The Lor-
illards have become millionaries from
Southern patronage, and now thev
have attained the heights to which
they aspired, like the viper warmed
into life, they would sting the kiudly
benefactor. How many jars of snuff
aud packages of fancy tobacco can be
found in Uiis country that docs not
bear tho Lorillard brand? Let us
quit its use, if we must dopend upou
them for our supply. We hope that
not a single merchant throughout the
broad limits of the South will patron
ize them again, and that consumers
will refuse to draw their supplies from
any jar or case bearing their brand, it
purchased after this disgraceful proce
dure is ventilated thiougn the papers of
our oft insulted country. With hearts
responsive only to the music of the
dollar’s clink, these narrow hearted
ulies,—fair representatives of the
•rage Yankee—with no moral ex
cellence, no higher aspirations, would
insult a whole people, by calummatiug
neniory of their idol iu the person
of the Immortal Lee. We are glad
that the gallant old gentleman from
Atlanta, unceremoniously refused his
patronage.
Just Like Human Nature.
A certain deacon was very much in
terested in a revival that was taking
place in the nieghborhood. He had
frequently importuned an old neighbor
of his—who was not particularly noted
for his profession of religion, but was
nevertheless highly respected by all
*vho knew him—to attend one of their
vening meetings. Now the piety
and honesty of the deacon was a mat
ter of doubt among bis fcllow-towus-
men, and particularly so with the
old man wc have mentioned who. for

After repeated calls, Unele Josh con
sented to accompany the deacon to
one of the meetings, much to the sur-
nrise of all 1“ nniirsc of
the evening the deacon nroso with a
penitential countenance to tell his ex
perience. He wts the prince of sin
ners, he said. If he got liis dcseits he
would be banished forever from Di
vine favor. After making himself out
all that is vile in mau according to his
interpretation of “he that humbleth
himself shall be exalted,” he sat down
with the sublime sense of having done
his duty, and asked Uncle Josh if he
would not tell lus experience. With
some little reluctance he arose, amid
the breathless attention of the assem
bly. It was an uuknown occurrence
for Uncle Josh to speak in meeting
He said he listened with great interest
to the remarks of the deacon, and lie
could assure the brethren lhat, from
his long acquaintance with him. he
could fully endorse nil the deacon had
said concerning his mcauocsH and
vUencss, for he certainly was the
meanest man he ever knew. Tlie
wrath o! the deacou was terrific. He
rose out of his seat, shook his list un
der Uucle Josh’s nose, and loking all
control of himself, exclaimed:
You’re a ton founded liar, and I’ll
whip you as soon as you get out of

- A Cool Customer.
A man sentered a well-known res
taurant the other day. and called for a
dinner. Disorders were of the most
elaborate character, and fairly stag
gered the resources of even so noted a
restaurant-keeper. 7/c lingered long
at the tableland finally wound up with
a bottle of wine. Then lighting a ci
gar be ordered, ho leisurely sauntered
up to tho counter and said' to tho pro
prietor:
“Very fine dinner landlord ! Just
charge it to me, I haven't got a cent.”
“But I don't know you,” said the
proprietor indignartly.'
“Of course you don't! If you had
you wouldn’t have let me lind the din
ner.” *
“Pay nie for the dinner, I say.”
“And I say I can’t. Haven't
the blunt.”
“I’ll sec about that” raid the propri
etor, somewhat furious at the bill.—
Then he snatehed a revolver from a
drawer and leaped over the counter,
collared the mau, exclaiming as lit
pointed it at his head ;
“Now, sec if you’ll get awav with
that dinner without paying for'it you
scoundrel.”
“What is that you hold iu your
hand?” said the gctter-awav-wilh Vree-
dimiers, drawing hack.
“That is a revolver, sir.”
“O! that’s a revolver, i^it! I don’t
care a pin lor a revolver. I thought
it was a stomach pump.”

In the Edinburg Eerietc, for April,

tribute from an unbiased source. For
its estimate of tbe general place that
Lee is to bold iu American history
the following sentences will suflico as
well as a volume:
“The day will come when the evil
passions of tho great civil strife will
sleep in ohliviou, and North and
South will do justice to each other’s
motives aud forget each other’s wrongs.
Then history will speak with clear
voico of the deeds done on either sido
and the citizens of the whole Union do
justice to the memory of the dead, and
place above all others tho name ol the
great chief ot whom wc have written.
In strategy mighty; iu battle terrible;
in adversity, as iu prosperity, a hero
indeed, with the simple devotion to
duty and tho rare purity of the ideal
Christian knight, he joined all the
kingly-qualities of a leader of men. 11
is a wondrous future, indeed, that lies
before America, but iu her annals of
years to come, as iu those of th- past,
there will be found few names that
cau rival in unsullied lustre that of the
heroic defender ot his native Vir-itna
Robert Edward Lee.”
Six Good Rules.
Mr. Greeley's statements of what he
knew about farming liaye long been
make the text for many a joke at that

long previous to his death he laid down
some maxims on that subject which a

would do well to take heed: **
“1. That the area under cultiva

capital and labor employed; or in
other words, that on impoverished
soils no one should cultivate more land
than lie could emith with manure or
tertilizers, be it one acre or twenty.
“2. That there should be a law
comnelliug every may to prevent his
stock from depredating on’ his neigh

“3. That gretn soiling is more
economical than loose pasturage.
“4. That deep tillage is essential to
good fanning.
“•>- That the muck-heap is the tar-

increase at tho. same time its fertiliz

“0. That no farmer or plantc

There is a dentist in Harrisburg who
has a daughter, who is loved by a
young man but he is bashtul, and «(on'1
like to go to the house to sec her un
less he has an excuse. So every Tues
day and Friday he calls and gets the
old man to pull a tooth for him, aud
then he goes into the hack parlor and
sparks the girl under the pretence ol
trying to ftud his hat. He has only
jix teeth now, and what worries him
is to know, wlmt he is going to do
when they aic all out and his new sut
is made and put in. He is all the
more anxious about it because the
fair maid doesn't seem as if she wa*
going to re*i>oud to his heartfelt sighs,
and there is room for suspicion that
she has been playing the coquette so
aa to rope in a good customer for her
fond parent.

them, yet the most intefesting reading
imaginable, is an old file of newspa
pers. It bring* up every a^e with its
bustle and every day affair*, and
marks its genius and its spirit more
than tbe labored description of the
historian. Who can take up a paper
datedlialf a century ago, without the
thought that almost every name there
printed is now cut upon a tombstone
id of an epitaph? It is easy
to preserve newspapers, and they wifi
repay the trouble, tor, like that of
wine, their value increases with their
years.
