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 cans them fam hairbreadth escape* 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 The Country Editor.—“An edi tor iz a male being whose biziness iz to navigate a naze paper.

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.

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.

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 time and with excessive kc another, according as they fed in good or bad humor, they need never surprised if the person thus treated should cease speaking altogether. A man should always lilt his bat to a la dj# * T ‘ f b The Review says: “A Peoria letter- carrier, after walking nine miles asd delivering the same letter to 137 men, none of whom ‘ woald- receive it,.sat down on a fire-plug and wept because Pocahontas ytm socbra foot as (d catch the old man’s war<lnb and save the progenitor ot a detested and innumer able race.” When a policeman finds a man full he takes him to the station house and bis frieuds bail him out. ‘Her face was her fortune,’ will soon be followed by ‘His Cheek Was What Made Him.* Smlrkins looked at a painting of a Pi* «»d pleasantly asked, 'Who is that pigment for?* Bishop Meado lately said : “Our. C are poorly educated, but our will never find it out,” which is pretty rough ou tho ••boys '* A philosopher says that “a true man never frets about his place in the world but just slides into it by the gravitation of bis nature, and swings there as easily as a star.” Id an item of information of consid erable solemnity, the Yazoo Dem ocrat tells us that “America con sumes annually six million pounds ot Turkish figs, in round Aggers.” They are putting up a new calabooso in front of die Times and Plautcr office, at Sparta, much to the disgust of the editor, who appears to think something personal is intended. Joseph Henderson, aueing for di vorce in IodianA. alledges that his wife trapped him by means of false hair, false eyebrows, false complexion a big bustle, and a deceitful tongue. Respect for old age never had a brighter illustration than in the case of the young lady who always refused to go to the wash-tub when her moth er or grandmother were present. Some men go 'found tho World with their jiands in their pockets.— Taut is better though, than if they went nlxmt with their hands in other people’s pockets.
