"* T | lo CourMC ofTrac Love.
la spite of all that has been done in
the last fifty years to improving the
channel, the course of true love is still
in places. An incident indi
cative of this, although somewhat out
0 f the usual line, occurred in Danbury
recently.
There were two suitors for a young
woman's affections. Number one was
first acquainted with her, and had kept
pretty steady company with her through
the past month, when number two ap
peared.
The latter very soon got the best
hold, and this became apparent to the
former.
The young lady gave herself up to
number one until the day after the
fourth, when she suddenly and rather
strangely veered about to the stranger,
who is now in town learning the jewel
ry business.
Number one was forgotten as easily,
apparently, as if he had been an old
debt.
It was tho night of the fifth that
this change in feeling dawned upon
him ; he had purchased a quart of new
apples, and taken them to her house.
There was company present on his
rival, and he requested to see her pri*'
vatcly in the hall.
She complied with a reluctance that
struck him as being singular.
“Here is something for you, Julia,”
he whispered, extending the package.
“She eolored slightly as she said, ‘I
cannot take it, tfcank you.' ”
“But you don’t know what it is,” he
urged. “It is a quart of new apples
just come in market.”
She made no move.
“Why, Julia, take them. They won’t
hurt you. They are ripe ”
“No, I mustn't,” she persisted, keep
ing her eyes cast down.
“Why not ?’* he pleaded. ‘‘You
don’t think I would bring 'em up here
if I thought they would hurt you, do
you f
She moved uneasily, but said noth*
in r' ~ ,
“Julia,” ho began in a broken voice,
don’t you bel'eve me when 1 tell you
they are ripe ?”
She did not answer.
“Can it be possible,” he continued
in a voice of pain, “that you believe
that I would try to make you sick ?
That I’d bring you anything up bore
that would upset you jf”
“The company are waiting, and I
must go back to them,” she said, speak
ing in a constrained tone, and reaching
out to the handle of Che parlor door.
“You won’t take them V* lie was
very white, and his voice trembled with
suppressed passion.
“No ”
“Then I’ll go home and eat every
gol-darned ono of ’em before I touch
my bed, if they kill mo deader than
Golinr,” and with this ferocious threat
lie bounced out of the house.
Whether he did as he promised is
not known, but as he was around on the
street tho next day it is more than
likely that wiser thoughts prevailed.
That afternoon he started for her
house, to see if the dreadful thing was
true that tho jeweler, whom he had
designated by the prefix of “pole logs,”
had really supplanted hiih.
As ho neared the houso he saw, with
anger, that the jeweler was thero play
ing croquet with Julia.
The sight maddened him.
For a moment he looked at them
with clenched hands, then hurried
away, with a gleam in his eye that de
noted a storm.
In a quarter of an hour ho was again
approaching the place. He had both
hands in the pockets of his sack, as if
ho was holding on to something valua
We.
The dapper young jeweler was still
engaged in the game with the fair
young Julia, and their laugliing re
marks grated distastefully upon his ear.
Julia looked up and saw him, and a
frown covered her face.
lie saw it and understood its import
at once.
Ilis own face grew black with wrath,
lie turned to her.
“Julia, bavo you given me up for this
cuss ?” he savagely inquired.
“What do you mean by such lan
guage us that ?” she angrily domauded.
While the pa T, ty thus indelicately in
dicated stared at the new-comer as he
very much doubted his own existence.
“Just what I say,” retorted the dis*
carded one.
‘'Well, the quicker you leave this
yard the better you’ll please me,” was
the spiteful rejoinder from the .fair one.
‘‘Then it’s true ! it’s true !’’ he howl
ed in a voice of anguish. She lias left
me for old ‘polo logs.’ Oh !”—this
with a sudden reverse of tone, as the
name brought up the realization of the
hated presence—“Tou are tho one that’s
done it, are you ?” turning in rage upon
his rival “You are the scoundrel that
left me to buy her things for a whole
month to get her sweetened ud for yon>
and then you come in an' take her to
yourself! Where were you ou the
fourth ?” ho screamed, with biting sar
casm. “Why didn’t you show yourself
when there was money to spend, an’
things to show her that oostcash down?
Where were you when the icc cream
an’ cake wa6 around ? Oh, you old
gimlet eye I” he added, suddenly re
moving one hand from the recesses of a
pocket and hulling a raw egg full in
the face of his rival, which, breaking
in the contact, completely changed the
entire expression of tho jeweler.—
vf here were you, I say ?” ho yelled,
dancing around, and drawing forth an
other egg.
Cnlljoim dimes.
At the advent of this awful article,
Miss Julia scampered into the house,
and the affrighted and almost blinded
rival struck out wildly for escape ; but
the foe was after hiui, and but ten feet
had been cleared when the second egg
caught him between (he shoulders, and
sprinkled its glowing color over his
back.
The unfortunate man ran with all his
might seeking escape, but baffled in the
search.
lie flew over the vegetables, and dar
ted around the trees, but the avenger
kept olose to him, plastering him with
omelettes, and plying him with ques
tions like this :
“Where were you on the fourth ?”

“Where were you when there was
money to be spent ?” I
Egg.
‘•Kept away, d’d you, till the fourth
was over, the costliest day in (he year ?”
Egg.
“Knew cream was up that day, did
you ?”
Egg.
And the eggs flew with all the ven
geance an unrequited affection could
impart to them.
And the unhappy Julia, standing in
a trance of horror at the window, saw
her favored one pelted in the back, in
the side, on the head, and against the
legs; saw him tear through the shrub*
bery, like a winged omelette ; saw the
golden liquid stream from his hair, his
chin, his coat tails, and his finger-tips ;
saw him shed scrambled eggs, chromos,
and circns posters at every jump ; saw
him finally bound over the back fence,
and sweep across tho back lots like a
simoom of biliousness, and then she
gave a scream and faiuted dead away.—

itcsinald's Wooing.
The shades of night were falling fa3t
as through a Boston suburb passed'a
a pair of lovers engaged in low and
murmurous conversation, and tremulous
sighs, and peppermint lozenges.
They stopped, cud, leaning on a
fence, gazed at the celestial emblem of
the crumbling power of tho Ottoman
dynasty, with feelings of overwrought
ecstacy.
“How calm ! how pellucid ! how—
how very much so !” said he, passing
his stalwart ar a around her waist In a
moment of absen. tniadedneas
“Yes, Reginald,” she whispered ;
“does it not strike a hidden chord in
the subtle depths of being, to wake to
life latent aoul-mvsieries, and merge us
in the Universal ?”
lie said he thought it did.
“Does it Dot seem to harbinger a
belter ideal ? Please don’t, Reginald !”
•‘Oh ! yes, Angelina, just once—this
time don't count, as old Rip says.”
“Go ’way ! don’t quoto any old rips
to me There, now, that’s enough. No
tice yon star, which gathers irridescent
intensity every minute. The beamy
brightlu ness overwhelms me. It is a
corruscating magnet potent to draw us
from earthly grovelmeats.”
Silence for a moment, then a sound
of a snapping corset-stving, and a deep
male suspiration.
“Why, what ails you, Reginald ?
Why thus despondent ?”
“Oh, Angelina ! aie you ignorant of
tire tumultuous passion which surges in
my bosom ?”
“Why, how you talk !”
“A passion which Aom the first mo
mont I beheld the radiance of your
smile has never failed to culminate.—
Ave r t not thy gaze. Tell me, 0 ! toll
me in accents as grateful to tho parchr l

“Well, what?”
“That you will—”
Be paused. The wretched man had
forgotten the balance of the little piece
he bad prepared aod recited over corn
rectly a hundred times. Beads of pers
piration hung on his ambitious fore-'
beau.
He w.ts about rallying for a desper
ate plunge when —
“O-o o-o-o h ! mv gracious ! A nas
ty toad hopped right upon my dress !
Oh ! it’s made me quite faint! Take
me home !”
And with hasty step she glided in
the direction of the paternal roof. He
turned savagely upon the reptile and
mashed him as readily as he would a
Bashi-Bazouk. Even more readily.
Then he followed, muttering, “Things
can’t go on this way much longer. By
thunder, I wou’t stand it 1 I’ll bring
her right down to business to-morrow
evening. Or —”

POTIPHAR AND COLUMBUS.
Who; Discovered America—The
Most .Avtonisliiug Lie oa
Record.
“I see,” said the Professor, cocking
up his legs upon the stove in the gro
cery store; “1 see that they talk of
putting up a monument to Christopher
Columbus. It’s too bad the way peo
ple 'vo been fooled about him. He
never discovered America, and I’ve
made up my mind to bust that old
fraud and shake him out and let the
people sea what kind of a rotten old
swindle he is.”
“You say that Columbus didn’t dis
cover America ?” said Mr. Partridge.
“Certainly he didn’t. He was a
mean, lubberly sneak, who went pack
dlirg around iu a scow letting on he
was doing big things when he had. not
pluck enough to get out of sight of
land.”
“Who did discover it then ?”
“Well, I’ll tell you fellows in advance
of publication, but mind you lay low
about it. It was Potiphar !”
“What was his first name ?”
“First name ? Why, he hadn’t any.
It was only Potiphar—old Paraoh’s
Potiphar, you know.”
“Ilow’d you find out about it ?”
“Why, you know old Gridley, up in
the citv ? Well, last year ho was in
Egypt, and he brought homo a mummy,
all wrapped up in bed clothes and sol
dered around with sealing-wax. Grid
ley asked me to come oyer and help to
undress him. and so we tackled that
mummy and after rolling off a couple
of hundred yards calico we reached
him. Looked exactly like dried beef.
Black as your hat and just about ton
der enough 10 chip duwn for tea. —
Gridley said he’d like to know who tho
old rooster was, and I looked him over
to find out. You know how they put
up a mummy, don’t you ? Take out
all his machinery inside, and fill him
up with nutmegs and cinnamon. Then
they set a brass door-plate in his stom
ach and make some little memoranda,
with obituary poetry, and all that kind
of thin®. Anyhow, after polishing
him up with a flesh brush for a minute
or two, I found tho door-plate, and,
with somo care I managed to rca-1 the
inscription on it. It was this: ‘I am
Potiphar. servant of Pharaoh. I was
buried 3,000 years before the Christian
era. I discovered America. C. Co
lumbus was an impostor.’ That’s what
the inscription said, and to my opinion
that settles ic. Now, I’ll tell you what
I’m going to do. I’ve had a cast made
of that dried boef, and I intend to have
it swelled all out and made into a stat
ue, and I’m going to set it up at my
own expense alongside the statue of Co
lumbus, and have a sign put ou it to
the effect that Columbus is a ragged
old fraud. Then I intend to get up a
memorial to Congress asking it to
ohange the name of the country to Pot
ipharia, and to make Potiphar’s sacred
animal, the tom-cat, tho emblematical
bird of the nation, instead of the eagle.
Bea big thing, won’t it, to compel ov
erybody to sing ‘Hail Poi’pharia, hap
py land 1” and ‘Potipharia, the Gem of
the Ocean !’ ”
“You said you read the inscription
on the plate,” said’Partridgo. “I didn’t
know you understood the language ”
“Can read it as easy as A, B. C.”
“‘Bu.ied 3,000 years before the
Christian era.’ I think you said it read,
flow did old Pot know anything about
the Christian era if he died that long
before 7”
“Blamed if I know. Cast bis proe
photic eye over the future, I s’pese.”
“Well, how in thunder could he tell
that Columbus, was going to claim to
discover America V
“That’s so. I dunno. Is kind of
queer ”
“Bo you know what I think of you ?”
asLed Partridge. “I think you'd lie
the hair off an old-Aashiuned trunk, and
that if I was asked to nominate the
champion American fraud to go on to a
pedestal at some national exhibition, Id
send in your name.”
“Would you, though, really ?”
“I would.”
“Well, it’s surprising how well you
know me.”

Fate of the Gcshoifs.
Tho pitiful stories of the condition
of the Christian population south of
the Balkans aie beginning to create
uneasiness and indignation in Europe.
The dispatch of Ahmed ’] efik to Adrla
nople at the instance of Minister Lay
ard has not had the effect of putting
a stop to the executions. The Italian
Consuls are sending to their govern -
ment fearful accounts of the doings of
Ottoman officials. N They say executions
and transportations are depopulating
Iloumelia. The Italian Consul at Tri
poli says that two thousand Bulgarians
have landed at Tripoli from a Turkish
transport, and have been sent tc the
borders of the desert in the interior.
A correspondent of the r J iuics, en
gaged on one of the relief agencies at
work among tho Bulgarians, sends a
hideous account of the state of the
province. Ho is at present established
at Cardova, on the southern slope of tho
Balkans, twenty miles west of Kazan
lik. In this place, the* population of
which he estimates must have been
nearly twenty thousand, there is not s
grown man left alive. For six week
the place has been at the mercy of ir
regulars of the Turkish army. There
now remain among the ruins of what
was once a beautiful and thriving town
but five or six-thousand women and
children. These pool creatures hide
themselves as best they may, dreading
the outrages of which nightly some of
them are victims. They can hardly be
said to have shelter, clothing or food,
and have sustained life by furtively
gathering roots and vegetables left in
the ruined gardens.
The same correspondent, writing un*
der date of September 3 about the Gos
hoffs, says : “Their case, was fortunate**
ly taken up by Mr. Liyad, and algo,
for the reason which follows, by the
American Minister and I believe they
are now as good as saved, though still
in prison. Some three days before their
arrest one of the two was appointed
Ame dean Vice Consul, but owing to
the formalities necessary the papers,
signed by the American Minister ooly
reached Philippopolis the day before I
left. The joy was great in that refined
Bulgarian home when I was able to
announce the fact to the sister and
aged lather of one of the prisoners that
United Stales Minister Maynard had
intrusted the necessary papers to the
correspondent of the Edinburgh Scots,
man, who had traveled night and day
to save these two innocent men from a
shameful death. However, a subse
quent telegram via Svra. of date of lGlli
inst., pieviously telegraphed to the
United States, renders it probable that
the sentence has since been carried into
execution, and that the efforts of their
friends in this country will come too
late. The Manchester Guardian of the
22d says the announcement of the in
tended summary execution of the
Messrs. Geshoff. ot Philiupopolis, has
been received with consternation by
their friends in Manchester. A depu*
bearing a petition in their be
hal f ’, together with an official letter
from the Mayor, p-oceeded on Friday
last to lay the matter before Earl Der
by, in London. The Messrs. Geshoff
are so well Lnown in Manchester that
their is a mat ter of eoucern to
many besides their fellow-countrymen.
The joungcr Mr. Geshoff waa educated
at Owens College, and it is believed it
is in consequence of reoresentatrons a3

the Turkish Government has fallen on

Biisisbci’ly Gels Excited Over tlie
War Jlaps.
Deacon Bumberlv, of Athcns-on-the-
Hudson, is a wide-awake old chap and
no mistake.
lie always keeps posted In current
events.
Thero isn’t much going on in the
worid that he don’t know of, and when
things are not run o suit his ideas he
isn’t backward in speaking of it.
Buoibcrly’s speaking of it don’t make
anv diffeience as far as running things
is concerned, but it relieves bis mind,
so it is just as well, perhaps, to let him
have his say.
Bumberlv orides himself on the fact
tlia* he is the only man in Athens who
is thoroughly posted on the Turco-Fas
sian war.
Since tho proud Stilts a dared the
imperious Czar to knock a chip off his
shoulder, and the latter accepted the
challenge like a man, Deacon Luuiberly
has taken twen‘y-five daily papers reg
ularly, and he generally reads up the
cable dispatches during the day, and
then si..s up till affer midnight study
ing out the war-maps and trying to lo*
cate the battles.
Bumberly finally got to be about
-three-fourths insane on this point, and
lie would often wake his wiie up out
of a souud sleep in the middle of the
night to explain some new discovery of
his own on the charts.
“Barling, just get up a minute and
see where the Czar fetched them a lick
at Erzeroum,” lie Would yeli along
about 11 p. M., aud Mrs. B. would
meekly crawl out of bed, and put on !
her slippers, and come over to the ta
ble and look ou, while Bumberly point,
ed out the exact spot.
Mrs. Bumbe ly didn’t eomoluin at
this eccentric conduct, but tho thing
went so far that she had to get up nine
times some nights to see anew map and
listen to some explanations about affairs
at lsaktohi, Dobrudscha, or some other
unpronounceable place.
It finally began to wear on her, and
she struck for higher wages or fewer
working hours.
* It was Hst Friday that she ventured
to hiat to her liege lord and master
that she was tired of studying war
maps by lamp-light, and didn’t care
about being called up in the night to
do it.
Bumberly heard what she said but
thought she didn’t mean it. lie had
an idea that everybody must be as
much interested in the European itn.,
broglio as he was.
That night he got in a fresh supply
of papers, and they contained some of
the most startling maps that were ever
imposed on a credulous public.
There had been uu unusually heavy
battle.
The Turks bad been defeated with
immense loss—that is, three Turks had
been seriously though not dangerously
frightened, and one Lad sprained, bis
ancle by failing off of au ammunition
wagon.
The papers gave a diagram of the
battlefield, with foil particulars of fhe
terrible SWI*"
Bumberly , 1
There was no sleep foi hitn that
night.
By midnight, or a little later, he had
the thing figured crut as clean as a whist- 1
tie. He had the line of retreat of the
three scared Turks traced' out, and a
pin stuck io the map at the exact rpot
where the solitary warrior foR from
ammunition wagon. * c •'* 1 ' '•
Then be tho ighi. he’d call his wife
aad let her see, so be shouted “Maria !”
but no answer came.
Then he went to the bed, and shook
her head and said :
“Maria ! Marta ! the Russians have
walloped the Turks again. Get up
and I’ll show you how and where it was
dyne.” . ..
' “l dec t t*> li(dT#CMß4thir>rfhout
it. I’m sleepy. ’’
“Come, get up, it will do you good
to see it. They gave them an awful
walloping this time ”
“I don't cai'e if they did. I wish
someone would wallop you so’s you’d
keep quiet and let folks rest in peace.”
“Then you don’t want to hear me ex
plain the battle, and see a chart ot the
ground, eh ‘
“I can hear and see all I want to of
it in the morning.”
“No you can’t. If you don’t get up
to-night you won’t see it at all. I’ll
tear every paper into minee-meat, so I
will !” * ‘
“Tear ’em ; who cares ? I want to
sleep.”
And Mrs. B. turned over with her
face to the wall.
Then Bumberly took every paper and
piled them up in the middle of the
floor, and jumped on them, and danced
and tbiH.-hed about till there wasn’t a
piece the size of a postage stamp left.
Then he blow (he tight out and went
to bod, a ikl Mrs IS. had to struggle
along the next day without a single
War-map in the liou-c.
A Little Delay Fatal.
It is well known that Julius Caesar
might have escaped assassination in the
Senate chamber il ho had rc&d deliber'
atelv a letter put in his hands by one
informed of the conspiracy. The same
fact is true of one or two of the French
monarchs who perished bv the assas
sin’s knife. But tho delay of a few
hours to open these important letters
rendered escape impossible.
We • ave never seen the following
incident before, but it is vouched for
bv Dr. McCheseney, of Trenton, a re
liable authority.
The success of Washington at Tren
ton lias been generally considered as
the turning point in the war of inde
dependence.
Yet few persons are aware upon how
slight an event tins critical action was
made to hinge. On the Christmas eve,
when Washington crossed the Delaware,
Col. Ralil, the commander of tho Hes
sians, sat in a private room near Tren
ton, engaged in drinking and playing
cards.
A Tory, who had discovered the
movements of the American troops, sent
a note by a special messenger io the
Colonel, with orders to deliver it into
his own hands.
The me-senger found the way to tho
house, and a uegro opened the door but
ro used him admittance, took the letter
and delivered it to the colonel, who was
just shuffling for anew game.
Supposing the letter to bo unimpor
tant, or not stopping to think at all, ho
went on with liis play. The reading
of the letter would have thwarted the
design of Washington ; but the love of
play conquered the colouel’s prudenoe
and gave ouccess to a worthier cause,
involving the loss of his life and army,
and ull’inatelv the freedom of the col
onies. Little did the colonel think,
when he ras shuffling those cards, that
he was losing the g eatest game that
vias ever played among the nations of
the world.
