Surprises that greeted him.
Patience has its charms as well
as its reputed virtues. The charm
is in its cheerfulness; the virtue in
its quiet fortitude to wait and trust;
and it is probably no better illus

“waiting and trust!ng”that his sub
scribers will appreciate his efforts

tion of the subscription they owe
him.

We would delight in doing all in
our power for the advancement and
building up of the tivo principle

al!}' seem to think they have no in
terest in the matter, and instead of

model of patience, and wait for fu

frey was detained by high waters.

unjust, or an outrage so great?
Mr. George Serrat was around
among his old friends this week.
Thm- will be no diminishing in
the bustle this fall, as was gener
ally hoped by suffering man and
his pocket book. These instru
ments of fashionj have become ex
pensive since some of the new pat
ents have come out. The latest
design in the way of a : •• tie is
one, in which a young lady. - big
off’to make a visit of ■ dm Or iw,
can carry a change b clothes, i
hat, umbrella, gossamo , ami a pair
of dancing slippers, without nec
essarily inconveniencing h/vrself.

oui town as often as ho once did.

-mil than the fellow that deals
with dry-goods boxes—rain or
shine, its all the same.

fectionate father and husburicl, and

window.

A DREAM
Or Pendulous Bet ween Reality aild
. Unreality.
A bevy of beautiful boys and
tolerable pretty girls gave Mr. and
Mrs. Loon Conns*My a .very plcas
! ant surprise lasi Friday niglii.
! Mr. Uonnsdly had just sank mi:,
tlie arms oi a peaceful slumber,
resting in sweet oblivion of the
cares of the day, absorbed and lost
in dreamland. Ihe young people
who went to arou.-e him, knev,
from his muttarings, that he was
rejoicing in the visionary threads
which the fancy weaves, and in'
tender pity lor awhile followed
him in his delirious. There
passed through his mind the nit a
dows green, unu the ianow where
waves iris golden harvest, and lie
pointed to them with an air of
pride. Then, through vacuity of
thought, “a change came over th
spirit of his dream,” and he saw
trees, churches, stars, suns and
’moons, and had about reached th--
hu d. whew al) will find happiness
unbiightador without some thistly
sorrow at its . ide, when mi oi a sud
den “a change came o’er the spirit
:of his dream”; strange vi. ages be
came expressed, and he raised his
hands to ward off a blow, but the
young lady, was to quick for him,
rod broke the witchery of the speb
and summoned home nis recollect
ing powers with a sound thump in
the side, and the exclamation:
“Get up, Uncle Leon, there is a
yard full of people,’’ Til” purlo jj was
soon ablaze with lights ..mi took
possession of. Mr. Conally, being
a “meionaire,” didn't can* for ex
penses, therefore dispatched the
boys to the melon patch, and ali
wore soon enjoying tl e lueious
fruit. At a hue hour the crowd
bade the pleasant host and hostess
good-night, and while on the. road
home a vote was ta k on, and decided
“the sweetest of ail sweets are
stolen sweets.”
