A False Lover In Iowa.—Mr.
Stem is an attorney at law, a grad
uate of the State University, and re
sides in Monroe. He was engaged to
be married to Miss Catherine Hud
dleston, of Iowa dty, but meeting
Miss Mettle Martin, of Monroe, he
fell violently in love with her, and
shortly became engaged to her.
All preparations for his marriage
with his second choice were completed,
except his' release from his engage
ments with Miss Huddleston,
went to Iowa City and had an inter
view with that lady on the subject.
The paternal Huddleston took part in
the caucus, and as he backed up his
views with a death-dealing revolver,
and a minister of the gospel and a
marriage licence, a most interesting
session was held, and Stem went out
of that house * married man.
Bat yet be it not happy, for his rela
tions with his fether-xn-law are un
pleasant, and Mettle Martin is looking
for him in Monroe, when, he goes
there after his few;books.-*-Gta*29e
▲ young man who keens a c
lion of locks of hair of hb lady friends

A dreary, rainy day! not even a
patch of blue sky, prophetic of stair
to-morrow, is teen; nothing bat thick,
grey, weeping clouds above this pend
ent world. Ghosts of the storm king
are abroad 1 Aht here comes one
from Icelandic seaa whistling mourn
fully round the bouse, in at the key
hole, and at last gives a long, solemn
Memmonian wail among the faithful,
evergreen pines. I feel out of tune!
I am tired of hearing the monotonous
dick and whir of the mill; tired of
gazing at that stupid, forlorn looking
cow, weary of hearing her melan
choly low; tired of watching the wet
uncomfortably feeling pedestrians
picking their steps,' up and down the
muddy streets. 1'ruly a dreary pros
pect for all parlies—the cow, the walk
ers and <tbe dismal “looker on”—my
self. No letters, nothing new to read,
what can I do but sigh for fairer fkies
and warmer suns. Ahl well, wo will
have both ere long. I will hear, saith
the Lord, (by the prophet Hosea) “I
will hear the heavens, and they
shall hear the earth, _ and the
earth shall hear the corn, the
wine the oil, and they shall
hear Jezreel.” What a beautiful
transition, from one thing to another
beginning with the operation of God
and ending with tho use - and service
of man. Yes, the earth shall be re
newed; even now spring, albeit with
reluctant step, Is on her way from the
sunny South. But the present is dull,
very dull, so I.just curl myself up imo
a most uncomfortably comfortable po
sition in the “sloepy hollow”, of a chair
and imagine myself a Pythoness be
fore tho oracle at Delphi, and try to
read the fbtuie. Bui why “dream
dreams, and see visions?” I know, by
past experience, that as often as I
have founded kingdoms, and built cas
tles in Spain, though tljey were mira
dcs of architecture, and, seemingly,
as firm os the rock of Gibralter, just
so often have I found myself falling
from the dizzy heights, and lying be
wildered among the gebris. No, I
will not think of the future, but turn
witch pf Endor and call from memo
ry’s caverns, wide and deep, the dead
and buried Samuels. Thoughts—-sad,
gay and grotesque, come and go, just
as I have seen a flock of beautifully
Unted curlews advance, recede, ascend
wheel and descend, hut ever keeping
at a tantalizing distance from the
sportsman; so, -when I think I have
caught an idea and try to clothe it
with words, it is “gone glimm^ug
like a school boy> dream.”
0 memory 1 O brain 1 ye are myste
rious and wonderful in your opera
tions; go where we may from the
Ganges to the Nile, from tho Nile to
the Mississippi, ye go with ns! Oft
times it takes but a simple thing to
strike * the electric chain where
with we are darkly bound. The scent
of sulphur from that burning match
lias brought forth, in a twinkling, from
underneath the layers of ideas, images
and counUeM mysterious handwritings
of joy and sorrow, which Have In
scribed themselves successively upon
the palimpest of my brain, an incident
of my childhood. Not as a half for
gotten dream does it arise, but fresh
and plain in all its details, as it did
the night ot its occurrence. Time
with Ills “strong hours” has not soft
ened a single outline. Ilero it stands,
in all its ruggedness, since its upheav
al by the convulsive throes of my pas
sionate little heart—my first grief- iu
hieroglyphics only / can decipher,
lonely ride in a stage coach; an a
val, at a boarding house in the dreary
twilight, of a shy, homesick little girl,
just eight years old. I (the shy girl)
was conducted up a long flight of aiair
steps, into a large room, and intro
duced as “little B.” Around a table
in the centre of that room, were seated
some half a dozen girls, studying the
'morrow’s lessons. I occupied a seat
the bright Ore; seated opposite
was a half clad girl, with the whitest
face, the blackest hair and eye* I ever
saw; she held in her hand a cup con
taining an unknown compound, with
which she was anointing herself. I
was gazing at her in amazement when
Miss Ann said, “Martha, how is your
itch to-day?” “No better—if any
thing worse,” answered the white
laced girl. “Have you had the itch
little B?” “I never heard of such a
thing, what is it?” “Oh! il is a dread
ful disease, thousands of worms trying
to est you up. Martha, there, is try
ing to kill them with sulphur and Ian!;
we are all sure to Catch it.” I had
never been deceived in my life, and
as perfectly artless, credulous and
confiding, and of course believed eve
ry word that teazing girl uttered. 1
had heard of, bat not seen, death; and
in a twinsling all the ghost stories I
had heard came to my mind, I thought
of death, black coffins, the deep grave,
and worms. Horrible! here, I thought
was a girl upon whom the worms had
begun before death. I felt an inex
pressible disgust for her, and her vil
lainous sulphur; and soon moved my
chair into a dark corner eat of sight,
feeling very modi confused and home
sick among that group of merry school
girU. Even as a child, when in grief,
1 shrank from the light and human
eyes. Nine! all most retire! Miss
Ann said, “little B n when ever yon
feel sleepy jump in that bed with
Martha.” With that itching girl?
Never! “Very well ait op in the dark
and cold. - What were darkness and
floor before the fire; wave after wave
of home longings and horrible frights
shook*my little body and soul. Every
goat of wind that rattled the windows
I thought was a ghost. Once I looked
sip, hind to my excited Imagination,
something awfully black was jumping
along the wall, ready to catch me. I
looked again, sod after a little dis
covered that it was only my own shad
ow, but, like the spectre of the Brock
en, it had, in the flickering firelight,
assumed gigantic proportions. Oh!
the-horrors I felt that night! Yes, I
tell bat did not know how to express
my fears, i, the adult, .now,express
what I, the child, then felt; 1 knew
there was wrong, but where or whom to
blame, I did not know then as now.—
At length the current of my thoughts
was broken; I thought of the dear ones
at home, seated. around the cheerful
fireside; of my own room, of its beau-
tifhlly papered walls, its rich crimson
curtains, soft carpet and nice; warm
bed. Of my two dusky maids, of
inauma Lucy, whose nightly pleasure
it was to luck me in bed, see that the
fire was safe, and give her last advice
to my waiting maids, always ending
with “if the Lord spares me I will
give you two ginger If you don’t walk
Spanish.” At length even mauma's
picturesque turban sank to rise' no
more; with one long, quivering sigh
from my heart, and a firm resolve to
go home, aye, if 1 had to walk every
step, I too, sank into dreamland.—
How long I slept I know not; when I
awoke I felt a pair of round, soft anus
about me, my little hand*-* locked in
other hands. Miss Ann had been
aroused by*an aching molar, had
found me asleep on the floor, and had
taken me, just as 1 was dressed, in
her bed. From that moment my
whole heart went out to her in love,
as deep as the disgust, yes hate, I felt
for that Martha; for her I fell a pecu
liar antipathy such ns I have ever fell,
when near, day or night, seen or un
seen, tor the loathsome insect known
to Naturalists as the praying Mantis;
and months afterwards when she had
news that her father had committed
suicide in a gambling saloon, aud her
mother had-died of sorrow, I did not
feel one thrill of sympathy for her. I
rejoiced when she left She, too, Is
dead. Avant! ye Samuels, to your
caverns!
Good Advice to Girls',, -
The following t*V en fr om a West
ern journal Contains a great deal of
good Cease, and will do food for
profitable thought to those who feel
themselves addressed:
“Girls, let me talk to you a little
while. Not to you, wild girls, who
do not care much what you do; nor
to you, very proper girls’ who never
laugh out of the wrong side of your
mouth, nor at the wrong time, nor ev
er do anything you shouldn’t But
the common average girls, whom we
meet at the railway station and in
the academy, in the farm-house, and
in the village, and who have ‘fellows’
and enjoy ‘going’ with them,
“When I see you at church, and at
lectures with these same, fellows, sit
ting close together, hand in hand,
I want to whisper in your ear—don’t
Don’t do anything that you will
look bock upon from maturer age of
thirty, and wish you hadn’t Don’t
do anything, no matter how long
you are engaged to a man, that,
when you are married, you will re
gret Your husband will respect you
all the more if you have always been
true to yourself during his court
ship. Time enough for the* kisses
and ‘loving clasps, will come after
marriage, and enjoyed all the more
for true purity of thought and deed.
And if the engagement should hap
pen to get broken, it will save many
annoying thoughts, if not words,
to know that it is impossible for
some man, when you core nothing
for them, to boast of famliarities from
you. These young men who are will-
ing to draw out these little, cares
sing, familiar acts, that in them
selves contain nothing impure, must
possess impure minds, and imagine
license expression of pleasure, will,
sooner or later, with some one ven
ture more, you may depend. Your
careless words and actions may
inflame his passions, and presently
some one fella—and can you say
but that it is partly your fault? No
doubt it is very pleasant to be sup
ported in yonr evening walk or ride
by the arms of your .dear Augustus,
or to lean your head to rest upon his
convenient shoulder, holding His
hand, and to give him aparting kiss;
but as sure as you live to be ten
years older, you will be sorry that
you did it Then"consider one tiling
more. In the strength of your vir-
the, did you ever think that some
weaker sister may see or know of the
act and think if you do so it cannot
be improper? The consequence is
that somebody takes advantage of
her weakness, and' she is lost O
gills, we most blame our own selves
for some of this evil! Do be thought
ful, and nvotd any action which self-
respect calls doubtful. 1

J. Wilkes Booth’s Romance.
The Washington correspondent
of the Cleveland Leader writes:
Several years ago when John P.
Hale was here as Senator, his daugh
ters were among the most admired
of all the belles. They lived in
elegant sty le at the National, and en
tertained -with a great deal of vivac
ity aU who visited them. The young
est was really a'tfery pretty, fresh,
it girl of eighteen or so. Of
course there were a great many
admirers, and among them the ac-
tpr John Wilkes Booth was the
most devoted to Miss Eighteen.
You perhaps remember Booth’s np-
perance, a handsome, dark, melo
dramatic fellow, and among a cer
tain set here he waa a great favorite
socially. At night he played his
Charles, in Schiller’s “Robbers,”
and Miss Hale was always at the
* iy, with bouquet, and smiles for
a In those days who could
goes 8 the sequel to a romance
of love that promised bright enough?
I remember a night when the hotel
was a blaze of light The guests
were giving a “nop” for their
friends, and between the waltzes
every one was good naturedly gos
siping at the devotion of a couple
who walked up and down tne
rooms, and were apparently obli
vious of place and surroundings.
They were a very attractive pair, he
tall and dark-eyed, she fair and
sweet as on English rose There were
some who cavilled nt bet choice; the
father must be wild to permit such
an alliance, they said—the daugh
ter of a United States Senator to
marry a play-ftetor. But the many
to. whom the young girl’s sweet face
seemed excuse for any infatuation,
looked with indulgence at the little
drama of the ‘old, old story.* I re
member too well another night, just
the eve of two days later. We were
at Ford’s old theatre. Again a
blaze of light, and music and a
crowded house, to look on at Laura
Keeno in the ‘American Cousin.’
How many times have you heard
the story of that night, too dreadful
to talk of even? The sudden pistol
shot, the uproar that followed, and
in the figure that sprang from the
President’s box I saw the lover of
two nights ago, .and knew that even
as he whispered in that young girl’**
ear he was planning tins d»^ ai if u i
scene. In Wilkes Boc*’ u » 8 'p OC j te ^
was found the picture of liis be-
trothed, and ahe wrote of the ossas-
that she would marry him at
the foot of the gallows. Such de
votion hangs like a divine fragrance
about our recollections of this
wretched, mistaken man, and though
it cannot blot out, yet surely let it
dim a little the horror we rightly
feel at his work.”

Old Letters.
Never bum kindly written letters;
it is so pleasant to read them over
when tne ink is browned, the paper
yellow with age, and the hands that
traced the friendly words are fold
ed over the hearts that prompted
them, under the green sod. Above
all, never burfi love letters. To read
them in after years is like a resur
rection to one’s youth. The elderly
spinster finds in the impassioned
offer she foolishly rejected, twenty
years ago, a fountain of rejuvenes
cence. Glancing over it, she reali
zes that she was once a belle and a
beauty, and beholds her former
self in a mirror much more congen
ial to her in her dressing room.
The “widow indeed” derives a sweet
and solemn consolation from the
letters of the beloved one who has
journeyed before her to the far-off
land from which there ’comes no
message, and hence, she hopes one
day to join him. No photographs
can so vividly recall to the memory
of the mother the tenderness and
devotion of the children who have
left at the call of Heaven, as the
epistolary outpourings of that love.
The letter of a true ‘son or daughter
true mother is something better
than an image of the features; it
a reflex of the writer’s souL Keep
all loving letters. Burn only the
harsh ones, and in burning forgive
and forget them.
The Etiquette ok Bowing.— 1 The
Home Journal” says:
“This is so simple that one would
scarcely supposed it possible that dif
ference of opioion cod Id exist, and yet
there are some who thiuk it a breach
of politeuessif one neglects to how, all-
though meeting half a dozen times on
a promenade or in driving. Custom
has made it necessary to bow ouly the
first time In p&ssiog; alter that ex
change of salutation is very properly
not expected. The difference be
tween a courteous and a familiar bow
should be remembered by gentleman,
who wish co make a favorable impres
sion. A lady dislikes to receive from
a man with whom she has but a slight
acquaintance a bow accompained by
a broad smile, as though he was on
the most familiar terms, with her. It
is far better to err on the other side*
and give one of those stifl; ungraeiou*
bows which men somtimes indulge in.
Those gentlemen who smile
thier eyes instead of their mouths,
give the most charming bows,
for men who bow charmingly at one
