Ka&MKi&BQ'JTj&MJSKiSS&SeaS EBssaKGaBoasiKn: Of all the amusements of the mind, From logic down to fishing, There isn't one that yon can find, So very cheap as wishing. A very choice diversion, too, If we bub rightly use it, And not, aswo are apt to do, Prevent it and abuse it. I wish a common wish indeed— My purse was somewhat fatter; That I might cheer the child of need, And not my pride to flatter; That I might make oxspression reel, As only good can make it, And break the tyrant's rod of steel, As only g-old can break it. I wish that sympathy and lovo, And every human passion That hath its origin above, \Would come and keep in fashion; That scorn, and jealousy, and hate, And every base emotion, \Were buried fifty fathoms deep, Beneath the waves of ocean. I wish that modest worth might bo Appraised with youth and candor; I wish that innocence were free JFrom treachery and slander ; I wish that men their vows would mind, That women ne'er were rovers; I wish that wives were always kind, * And husbands always lovers. TIES. PBLICI- Eli Perkins, has undergone matri- monial proposals at the hands of one of his lady friends, and he has this to say about it: First, I called on my liquid-eyed brunette friend, Miss Sallie Morris, of Madison avenue. Now I've spent a'good'Heal of money on Miss Sallie for operas, boquets, Delmoni- co lunches, etc. I've been trying for two years to win her affections. Last night, full of love and hope, I rang old Morris' door-bell. In a moment Miss Sallie was by myself on a.retired sofa. After speaking of the coming opera, I felt the vel- vet hands touch mine. \'Do you know, Mr. Perkins,\ she said, looking me straight in the faee, \that to-day is our proposing day?\ \Well suppose so,\ I\remark- ed, looking modestly down at her mosaic bracelet. \ Well, you know, Eli, my dear, Eli! that I have been out with you a good deal.\ \Yes I replied, beginning to feel embarassed. \You know, my dear,\ she said, taking both of my hands, \that it is costing me a good deal for dresses and gloves, and—\ \And costing me a good deal for carriages, boquets, and Delmonico lunches,\ I interrupted, with increas- ed embarrassment. \And while 1 have enjoyed my- self all winter going irith you, Eli—\ \ In expensive carriages to the Academy and Delmonico's,\ I sug- gested. \ Yes, while I have been happy to go there with you—I feel—I feel —Oh, my dear Eli, I don't know 'how to say what.I want to!\ and then the beautiful child hid her face on my bosom. \Do not fear for my anSAver, beautiful one,\ I said, soothingly, •\ What is it that weighs so upon your sorrowful heart ?\ \Oh! Eli, it is lovo,\ she said, •sobbing wildly, and .twisting her jeweled fingers in my auburn hair. \Heaven be praised,\ I sighed, as I felt the beating of her heart against my vest. \ For whom is this love, darling ?\ I asked, \for you know I am deeply interested in you.\ \ You will not be mad with me, Eli?\ \No sweet one. I shall be only too happy,\ I said, wiping my tears from my eyes. \ Well, my, dear—my long cher- ished friend,jjl lover—\ \ Who, dear' Sallie, who do you love?\ \ Well, Eli, I love Charley BroAvn, to whom I am engaged;\ and then the scalding tears fell fast on my shirt-bosom. \ Well, Sallie, what have you got to say to me ?\ I asked, hesitating- ly, as I loosened her hands from my neck. \ Wky, my dear Eli, Charley and father thought that I had better see you, and propose—\ \Oh darling one, I am thine !\ I said, with great emotion. \ Take me! Never mind father. Take me as I am. Take—\ \ But, Eli, let me explain. They wanted mo to see you, and thank you for your many kindnesses, and propose that you don't come here anymore/\ \lDO\W\Kr TBCJB STEPS.' The following amusing reminis- cence, connected with the history of a famous Nashville holstery that was numbered among the institutions of the past long years before the war, is told by the Franklin Review and Journal, which says that the principal actors are still living: While the old inn stood on the square in Nashville it was the favor- ite hotel of the traveling public.— On one occasion, among the many there assembled were Harvey H—, from Williamson county, and John Gr—, from Maury county, intimate friends, and both convivial in their temperament. They had imbibed'freely of spirits, and were in that happy condition in which they considered the world all their own, and rather noisy in their dem- onstrations. Some of the visitors complained of their noise, and the proprietor, after much persuasion, induced the gentlemen to retire to to bed. He sonducted them to their room, and saw them safely lodged in bed, waited patiently un- til they slept, and then drew the bed, which, as wa^ then to some ex- tent fashionable, was attached to the ceiling by cords, up nearly to the ceiling, raising them- some nine or ten feet from the floor. Everything passed off quietly, the gentlemen sleeping soundly until 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning, when John Or , who was sleeping behind, called out to his friend: \ Harvey, get me the water; the pitcher is on the table there in the corner.\ Harvey de- murred a little, but finally yielding to earnest solicitations, he threw himself out of bed, in the pitchy darkness of the room, to the floor beneath. He was unprepared for the leap, and the shock of the fall surprised him. Instantly he con- jectured that he had fallen down stairs, perhaps through the trap- door, so he got down on his hands and knees and commenced groping about to find some means of ascent to the room above. The delay oc- casioned by these movements was torture to John, who was parched up with thirst. So he called out, in language more emphatic than po- lite : \ Harvey! what are you do- ing?\ The answer came from the depths below: \John! I fell down stairs and can't find the steps to get bill to the night clerk, when, mount- ing their horses, they made tracks for home. REMEDY. A sure cure of Heart Disease, TAver Complaint, Consumption, jileecling of Lungs, and all Pul- monary Affections arising therefrom. ' STATEMENT: Ogctensburg, N. Y., Sept. 80,1871. I was flrst'taken In January, lBlii), with a se- vere Bleeding at the Lungs, qoughlng and raising. I continued coughing,'Weeding and dootor'ing, under tlie advice of various physi- cians, who prescribed change of climate and numerous remedies, until I was convinced that they were doing me no good. During the present season, while in Kansas for my health, 1 procured tho roots which compose this Medicine, from an Indian, and also the directions found on the bottle. I have taken this Medicine and followed these directions for about two months, and now believe that my lungs are as sound as ever. Respectfully yours, J. B. McGBA'W.. Price $1.00per bottle.

McUraw—St is with pleasure that I recommend >'our Indian tough Bemedy to the public. I have used it in my family, and am satisfied that It will do all that you claim for it. My wife lias been, for the last twenty years, troubled with a torpid state of the liver. Her heart and lungs have been hardly with- out pain for the whole twenty years. Her complexion has always boon of a yellow col- or. At your suggestion I was persuaded to take a bottle of your Indian itemedy, and have her try it. She lias taken one bottle and her complexion has changed, the pain has left her heart and lungs, and she is nearly well. She thinks that by taking two or three bottles more that she will be entirely well. Yours, J. W. POTTER, Traveling Agent for Abbey &Sturdevant, Wholesale Groceryrnen, JSf. Y.

Then the two commenced a search for the staircase, a ladder, anything to enable them to get out of this deep abyss. Round and round they went, upon their hands and knees. They found a table, up- on which they discovered a pitcher of water. Quenching their thirst, they resumed their search. Their clothing had been deposited on the foot of the bed, so this was beyond their reach, and the weather was in- tensely cold. The must keep mov- ing or freeze. The weary round was kept up until the gray dawn be- gan to streak tho east, when they realized their true condition. Si- lently they lowered the bed, hastily donned their clothing, and only re- mained long enough to pay their FOR SALE! -IN THE I/1NE OF- ®M% Two Houses and Lots, situated on William Street, in the village of Oape Vincent, ST. \ST.
