TO BX SIT TO MUSIC 4‘OH Till USB Or ALL YOUNG LADIES. Yoo come very often ’Us all very well. You’re a very fine man, and a very big swell; You’ve a very good heart, and a very long nose, But now to the point—do you mean to pro pose f The house is besieged both by rich and by poor. Who knock all day long at grandniama’s door; They tarn up their eyes, aud they turn out their toes, But what is all that if they do not propose l You ssy that you love me, but love all alone To unmarried girls is a thing quite unknown; You sigh and look down, and present me a roar; But that is all stuff!—do you mean to pro pose? I am not so hard-hearled as I may appear; Why atop and look sheepish ?—there’s noth ing to fear, Yon men are such geese! only Belzebub knows The trouble you give us before you propose 1 ’Tis almost two ssasons since I have been out; You simper and smile and you whirl me about; But this is not business, the horrid time goes, Another will have me if you dou’t propose! You take all the airs of a man I’ve preferred; You keep off the rest, aud you don’t say a word. This is not fair play—sure a fellow who shows Such uncommon devotion should speak and propose! I want to be marrried—do you understand ? You’d give mi a world ! —only give me your hand t Oue can’t go on always with cons aud with pros,— Never come here again—or be frank and propose? , Tlie Protestant Cow. Paddy Murphy and his wife Brid get, alter many years ot hard labor in ditching and washing, had accumula ted a sufficiency to purchase a cow, which they did at the first opportuni ty. As it was bought of a Protestant neighbor, Paddy stopped on his way home at the house of the Priest, and procured a bottle of holy water with which to exorcise the false faith ou*. of her. “Isn’t she a foino creature?” asked Pat, <*s the admirng Bridget, ‘‘Jest hould her till I fix the shed ’ 5 To save the precious fluid from harm, he took it into the house and sot it up in a cupboard until he had “fixed” things. Then ho returned and brought tho bottle out again, and while Brid get was holding the rope, proceeded to pour it upon her back. But poor Paddy had made a slight mistake. (Standing within the same closet was a bottle of aquafortis that had been procured for a far different purpose, and, as it dropped upon the back of the poor cow, ami the hair be gan to smoke and tho flesh burn, she exhibited decided appearances ol rest lessness. “Pour on more, Paddy,” shouted Bridget, as she tugged st the rope. “I’ll give her enough, now,” quoth Paddy, and he emptied the bottle. Up went the heels of the cow, down went her head, over went Bridget and half a dozen ol the “childers,” and away dashed the infuriated bovine down the street, to the terror of all the mothers and the delight of the dogs. Poor Paddy stood for a momont breathless with astonishment, and then clappiog his hands u;>on his hips, looked sorrowfully, and exclaimed ; “Be jabers, Bridget, but isn’t the Protestant strong in her—the baste ?” —Leisure Hours. Quarrelliuif. If anything in tbe world will make a man feel badly, except pinching his fingers in tbe ciack of a door, it is un questionably, a quarrel- No man ever fails to think less of himself after it than before. It degrades him in the eyes of others, and, what is worse, blunts his sensibilities on the one hand and increa ses the power of passionate irritability on the other. The truth is, the more peaceable and quietly wo get on, the better fur oar neighbors. In nine cases out of ten, the better course is if a man cheats you, quit dolling with him; if ho is abusive, quit his company, and if be slanders you, take care to live so that nobody will believe him. No matter who he is or how be misuses you, tbe wisest wsy is to let him alono, for there is nothing better than this cool, calm, and quiet way of dealing with tbe wrongs we meet with. elderly gentleman, accustom ed to “indulge,” entered the room of a certain tavern, where sat a grave Friend by the fire Lifting a pair of green spectacles upon his forehead, rubbing bis inflamed eyes and calling for hot brandy and watei, he complained to the friend that “his eyos were getting weak er, and that even spectacles didn’t seem to do them any good.” “I’ll tell thee, friend,” replied the Qiaker, “what I think. If tbee was to were tby specta cles over thy mouth for a few months thy eyes would gr-t well agaiu.’’ One of the most curious things with which we are acquainted ia that a watch should keep so perfectly dry when it has a running spring inside. Augnsta is to have anew City Hospi tal, which, the Chronicle says will be a haudsomo building when completed. L’otton .71 a nil fact uro iu llic Mouth. We find iD an exchange, says J.he Savannah News, tho following strong article in favor of establishing factories at the South. We believe thut the ar ticle is taken from the Boston Com mercial: ‘‘The same conditions, cheap laboi and cheap stock, .that favor the exteoifive manufacture of woolens at tbo West, encourage th« establish ment of cotton mills at the South. We are glad to learn that this fact is re-. cciving full recognition by the intelli- 1 gent ol the South. And mere recog nition is not all; for at seve-al points in the South, cotton mills are in oper ation, rolling up such profits as North ern manufacturers have long been strangers to. Tho case of the Augus ta (Georgia) Factory, about whoso last year’s business we reeently gave ' some figures, rnny well set New Eng- ' land mill owners a thinking. With! the genera! advantages possessed by the tv as . site for cotton manu factuio, tho majority of our readers are f course familiar. They know! that it is > iieapei to find the raw ma terial at the mill-door than to bring it a thousand miles by rail or eea ; that ! the differenco of a few cents in the daily wages of operatives is a vory important difference, and perhaps, that criarso cotton goods can be made at h ast 20 per cent, cheaper at the South than at the North. But thero are one or two points on this subject about which the majority are probably less enlightened. The actual loss to the manufacturer in money and Block by bailing and the succeeding procecses, is not less than 15, and perhaps 20 per cent. The waste itself is an item of no inconsiderable value. Again, cotton is never in so good a condition for manufacture as wtieu it loaves ti e gin. With these facts understood, it is not difficult to sue why Southern mills are and have boon miming at full capaci ty, while Northern mills ore in many cased losing money, nor to believe that Southern made goods can be brought to Lowell aud sold cheaper thau tho produc sos her own mills. “The supply of labor for Southern mills may. at the first glance, present some difficulties, but these would mere ly be temporary The whole fabric ol society in that section has undergone a change; labor is to become a neves sity there as well as here, to all, or nearly all the population. There, just uow, there are thousands of destitute women and children who rejoice in the opportunity of eurning not only a liv ing, but a surplus, by working in cot ton mills. Their living expenses being considerably less than tbahe of North ern operatives, their wages would, of course, be loss. The poor white3 of lliv youth, directed by skilled opera tives from New England, would soon constitute a working forco ample in numbers and tirst-elass in efficiency.— And they would not bo the only class benetkted by tho o tablishmeot of cot ton manufacture. The South,like the West, oflers an inviting field to the industrious and prudent Now England operative, wherein he may turn his in telligence, his aecpiired skill and his little capital to a profitable account. — The only condition of complete and magnificent success in co'ton manufac ture at the S ulh, yet lacking, it seems to us, is the discontinuance of political strife, and the re establishment of so cial tranquility, and this de ideratum, we believe, is not far distant.” A Itoal Sensation—Attempt to Shoot President Joliu-oii. Last evening the whole corps of re porters and correspondents were filled with excitement by a rumor that an at tempt had been made to murder Presis dent Johnson. Tho facts, as we learned them from police officers; are, simply that about nine o'clock last night a woman attempted to force her way pmt the usher in charge of tho door, into the President’s office. Upon questioning her it was evident she was insane. She refused to givo her name, aud answered tbe interrogations as to her business by spying: “lam the arm of Him wh i seat ino; war is this day declared, and l Live been delegated by God A1 m"'hty to kill the President of the Uni ted hriates.’’ Upon searching her a double-barrelled pirtol was found con cealed under her shawl. Bdo was taken in ohargo by Officer Shelton, detailed for duty at the Exeoutivo Mansion, and conveyed to tbe Central Guard-house, where a preliminary examination was held by Justice Clark. From papers in her possession it was concluded that her name is Annie O’Neil, living at the corner of Twenty-fourth and L streets, and she was committed by Justice Clark for further examination. The pistol found in her possession was ascertained not to be loaded- Subsequently she was visited at the station-houso by her father and sister, from whom it was learned that she was formerly employed in the Treasury Department, and with her earnings bad purchased the proper ty where they reside Yesterday it ap pears she was no'ified that her title to the propertv was imperfect, being only a “tax title,*’ and this informa hn pro duced insanity tbe result of which was her vLit to the Executive Mansion. There will be a further examination of the ease this morning. —National In telligencer. Tbe difference between an editor and a wife is, a wife sets articles to rights, while au editor writes articles to set. At a concert recently, at the con clusion of the song, “There’s a good tine coming,” a country farmer got up und oxola’med: “Mister, you couldu’t fix tbe date, could you.” VOL. IV.—NO. 2, Singitlur Caie—A Raviug Wan derer. The Terre Ilaute (Ind) Journal , ot Wednesday, vouches for the truth, of the following strange story: About ten days ago, a young lady 1 'was found wandering about in Otter Creek Township in a crazy state of mind very thinly clad acd apparently endur ing great mental and physical suffering. Her singular eonduct and the faot that sl e appeared to have no place of habt« . tatioD, attracted tbe attention of tbe peo ple, and she was finally taken charge of by the Township Trustee who sent her to the poor asylum. When the poor creature went to that institution she | was a raving lunatio, and her physical condition was terrible, haviug had both her feet frozen so badly that she was unable to stand, and it was feared that j amputation would be found to save her life. j The officers of the asylum have gives | tbe unLrtunato every attention, and j within tbo last four or five days shs has nearly regained her proper miad, land is now able to tell her story. Her name is Pamelia Robinson. .She is about twenty-two years of sge, aDd is from Oswogo, New York, where her parents reside, her father being an old gentleman of wealth and prorainenea in that locality. Tbe youDg lady ia prepossessing in appearanoe, highly ed ucated, and of modest deportment. She says she left her father’s bouse in New York with the intention of visiting a married sister living in Parke eounty, near Rockville. From some cause, for whicn bhe does not account, she lost her reasoD on arriving at this point, and she has no memory of events from tha timo she readied the depot until a few days since. In one of her dresses, fonnd in tha woods, in Otter Creek Township, was a pocket-book containing a good sum of money, and a check drawn by her fath er on an Oswego bank for S4OO. In the pocke t of the dross was also fouod a railroad okcck for her baggage, and her trunk was found at the depot last tiatur. day It was well filled with a nieo wardrobe, which corroborated the state* moot of her condition in life. Tbe friends of the young lady in Parke county have been written to, acd they will doubtless bo *w>ft in flying to tho aid and rescue of their unfortunate rela tive who has so narrowly escaped a hor rible death. In tho mean time she will receive every tttention from the kind and humane managers of the asylum. FemaliS SociktY.—You know my opinion of Umale society. Without it, we should degenerate iuto brutes. This obsorvatim applies with tenfold force to the young men, and those who are in the primo of manhood. For after a certain time iu life, the literary man may make a shift (a poor ones grant) to do without the society of la dies. To a young mao, nothing is so important as a spirit of devotion (next to his Creator) to some amiable woman, whoso imago may occupy his heart; guard it from pollution which besets it on all sides. A man ought to choose his wife, as Mrs. Primrose did her wed ding gown for qualities that ‘wear well.’ Oue thing at least is true, that if matri mony has it cares, celibacy ba- no picas lire. A Ncwtou or mere scholar, may find employment in study; a man of lit erary taste can receive in books a pow erful auxiliary; but a man must bare a bosom frioud, and children around him, to chiri-b and support the drear iness of old ago. — John Randolph. I’e-marf.ied —About three years ago a young man named James Smith, an employee of the Kentucky Centra'll railroad, wooed and married Miss Liz zie Lie, one of the most chtjpning girls of l’cndicton, Ky, just when budding into young womanhood, being onlj “sweet fifteen.” After living together some rigliteen months, during which they were blessed with an bcir, domes tic difficulties oceurr and, which marred the happiness of their wedded life, and culminated in the divorce of the parties —*he wife retaining possession of the child and retaining her maiden name of Lizzie Lee. Now comes the sequel. After the separation of more than a year —during which time Miss Lee had a number of suitors for her hand—her former husband could bear it no longer, but earnestly renewed bis protestations of love, which were favorable and lov ingly received. An elopement was planned — for the old folks objected «• the proposed remarriage—and on Mon day evening of last week, the young la dy succeeded in eluding the vigilasee of her parents, reached Cincinnati safely, again stood at the bridal alter, and the pair were again united in marriago. How Much Marm? —We elip the following from an exchange. We ad vise nightly visitors of dry goods clerks to beware : “A clerk in a dry goods store re tired one night; having for bis bedfel low t>n acquaintance dating back to school days. Our informant slept io the next room adjoining, the door of which was partly opeu. In tho mid dle of the night he Bays he was awak ened from sleep by hearing the clerk, in a loud voice, exclaimed. “How many vards did you say yeu wanted, martur’ Three yards enough!’ and tho n< x‘ thing beard was a tear ng noise; and the bed fellow of the clerk shouting ont, “What are you do : ng? you have torn my shirt from top to bottom.” The poor dreamer imagined himself in his store, waiting on ; a lady customer, who wanted three j yards of ealico. The shouts of merri* j ment which the event created, can well be imagined. Atlanta is to have a street railroad. The work will be commenced io a tow days.
