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.— Philadelphia Day.

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.

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 convenience wc may call Uncle Josh. 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 church!” got Saimtuiqlj <£arbs. - 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.” Robert E. Lee. In the Edinburg Eerietc, for April, an article on Robert E. Lee will In road with deep interest. It is a grand 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 practical and good mau. Not very long previous to his death he laid down some maxims on that subject which a «he i w;r ,, ^ l ' o c3,'ir,,,c lj ,v ct fo u <lh r r,'4 would do well to take heed: ** “1. That the area under cultiva tion should be with iu the ,'itiiith ol the 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 bor’s fields, “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- mer’s hank and lhat everything should he added to it that will enlarge it and increase at tho. same time its fertiliz ing properties. “0.
