Two maids wore walk'ng in the grove, (They both were growing old), The one to tell a tale of love, The other to be told. "He is not rich," the elder said, "Nor handsome, nor hlgh-boin; The man whom I propose to wed, Most oilier glvls would scorn." 'What in he, then? you make me fear;" The maiden's tears fell fast ; "lie was the flut to offer, dear, And lie may be the last I" clii fading. 91 OT OOD EKOt'GH FOR llfctt. In the days of the good old colony of Virginia, the distinctions of rich and poor were based upon laws which, like tho.c of the Mi-des nnd Persians, alter ed not. One of the most devout fol lowers of this code, was a wealthy planter, living in what is known x tho Northern Neck. He was in all respects, a frank, openhearted, gentleman ; but his estimate manly of his fellow men was founded upon the principle that governed his selection of horses ni.oon. W ealth, too was by no means an unimportant feature with h'm. IIo had onr human weakness, and, like all of ns, was influenced more than he ever believed, by pounds,shil lings nnd pence. This Mr. G had quite a largo family, and among them was a daugh ter whose beauty was the standing toast of the country. She was just eighteen, and budding into lovely womanhood. Not only was she beautiful in person but her amiable disposition and many accomplishments made her more tiian ordinarily attractive, and the gentle men in the Northern Neck were al ready sighing for her love, There were in the country at this time a young man who was already rising high in the esteem of his neigh bors, lie came of good family, tut: was, as yet, a poor young surveyor, who had spent much of his time in traversing unknown forests, with nothing but his compass for guide, and ' liis chain for his companion, locating ' t land and settling disputed titles. He Svas a model of manly beauty, and ex pelled in all thevaried fealsof strength in which the olden time Americans took such prido. He was calm and reserv ed, and there wrs alxmt him a dignifi ed sweetness of demeanor that accord ed well with lift frank independence of character. He was a great favorite with all that knew him, and there was no gathering to which he was not asked. - - .... 1.1 Mr. u seemed especially to like tno young man, and it was not ionS before he insisted that tho latter should abandon all ceremony in his visits to him, and come and go when he pleas ed. The invitation was heartily given, and as promptly accepted.. The yonng man liked the planter, and he found the society or the beautiful Mary . G a very strong attraction. The ' result was that he was frequently at the planter's residence j so irequently, . . indeed, that Mrs. G felt called upon to ask her husband if he did not ' ' think it wrong ti permit him to enjoy such unreserved intercourse with their ; daughter. The father only laughed ' ' edatthe idea, and said he hoped his 3 Li i i :i i -ii: anything like love for a poor survey or to blind her to her duty to her family. . , Nevertheless Mary G 1 was not so fully impressed with this conviction of dutv ns was her father. She found ' more to admire in the poor surveyor .1 man in an ner weaitny ana aristocratic suitors ; and, almost before she knew it, her heart passed out of her keeping, ' and was given to him.

He knew that in all that makes a man in integrity and honesty of purpose, he was the equal of any one. lie believ ed that, except in wealth, he stood upon a perfect equality with Mary G , and loved her honestly and manfully, and no sooner had he satis fied himself upon the state of his own feelings than he confessed his devotion, simnlv and truthfully, and received from the lady's lips the assurance thr J she loved him dearly. Scorning to occupy a doubtful po sition, or to cause the young lady to conceal aught from her parents, the young man Lankly and manluily ask ed Mr. G for his daughter's hand, Verv anarrv rrrcw the planter as he listened to the audacious proposal. He stormed and swore uinousiy, aii( denounced the young man as an un grentful and insolent npstiut. "My daughter has always been ac customed to riding in her own carriage," he said. ''Who are you, sir ?" "A gentleman, sir," replied the young man, quietly j and he left the house. Tho lovers were parted. Tho lady married 6oon after, a wealthy planter, and the young man went out again into the world, to battle with his heart and "conquer his unhappy passions. He subdued it ; but although ho after ward married a woman whom he lov ed honestly and truthfully, and who was worthy of his love, he never was wholly dead to his first love. The time passed on, and the young man began to reap the reward of his laliors. IIo had never been to the house of Mr. G since his cruel re pulse by the planter 5 but the latter could not forget him, as his name scon became familiar in every Virginia household. Higher and higher he rose every day, until he gained a posi tion from which lie could look upon the proud planter. Wealth came to him, too. When the great struggle for independence dawned, nnd he was in his prime, a happy husband, and one of the most distinguished men in America. The struggle went on, and soon too "poor surveyor' neiu me .. it 1 1 i .1 highest and proudest position in the land. When tho American army passed in triumph through the streets of Wil liamsburg, the ancient capital of Vir ginia, after thesurrenderof Cornwallis, the officer riding at the head of tho column chanced to glance up nt one of the neighboring balconies, which was crowded with ladies. Rccignizing one of them ho raised his hat and Iwwed profoundly. There wasa com motion 011 the balcony, and some one wanted water, saying Mrs. Lee lmis fu'nted. Turning to a young man who rode near him, the oftifcr said p-rnvolv ! K' "Henry, I fear your mother has fainted. You had liettcr leave the column, and go to her." The speaker was George "Washing ton, once the "poor surveyor," but then Commander-in-Chief of the armies of the United States.

Henry Ward Beecher is never s great as when yon see him among men, or we might scy, perhaps, among children. He never left off being a boy. There is something so honest, noble and childlike in his great square- out social utterances, that in tri3 sphere he is perfectly irresistible. So ! powerful has this influence become that the whole city of Brooklyn, and to a considerable extent the whole na tiou, is aff oted by his social example. The narrow, contcmptiblo mannerism that characteriz" the people atleoting Churchaiiity, the Miss Nancvish wavs of too many, even ot our clergy, the pompous aire, exquisite snobbish- , ness, pious propriety, and severely or nate methods 01 soeecn ana writing commonly supposed to give evidences of refinement and taste, tho great thundeiersweepsaway withouo blastol 11s trumpet of truth. JUr. lieecher lias taught tne woriu that to be saints men need not be hypocrites,and to love the beautifuljone need not be a sap-head. Culture may kill out a man s uaturalness, and leave 1 only mere airs. Ueaa Brummel and Jieeclicr are lorcver at war. un, now disdainfully Araniinta Sophranisba Roscwaler inverts and elevates her proboscis at tho mention of some char actistio "Beet'herism" of the Brooklyn Bruncrgcs. "Did Mr. Bcc.'her actu ally play ugly mug, and stir the pud ding at a social gathering ?" said one of these ancient maiden saints to us a few days since. "It is positively hor rid. It is a characteristic 01 men who love truth supremely llin.t per- m 11 sons have but little innuence over them. God makes a truly wise man so simple and unpretending that men never look into the manger lor tne King of the kingdom coming. Yet it is there that we find our King. "A little child shall lead them." The child is the model for Christians to follow and frame their characters by. So does Mr. Beechcr. So do not the great, the grand, and those filled with pomp and bIiow. Visit Brooklyn, and you shall see a man as brown as a Western farmer, with a perfect tum ble of hair, falling all over shoulders as broad as a blacksmith's. His gait is rapid, abrupt and blunt. He rolls as he walks like a Cape Cod shipmas ter. He wears a rough sack coat, pepper and salt perhaps, breeches, wide, roomy, and better fitting than the pants on Webster's statue in front of the State House in Boston. He swings his arms as he gets over the ground, ever and anon lifting his hat nud smoothing back his hair over his mosxive forehead. Ilia leaturcs are coarse, his skin as rough nnd ruddy as a Jack Tar's, and his whole air that of a man overflowing with human nature. "How are you?" is his grcct 'nv as he mccti you no manncrish hand-shaking or I rench airs ; ho pass- (1 right 011 unless you have business. Then if you hem or haw, or hesitate or don't come right to the point, ten chances to one it ho docs not taKe French leave at once, and leave you to meditate upon tho abruptness of the wonderful man. In short, Mr. Beechcr has no non sense in his make up. lie is mini with good sense, ond woe be to Mr. Diplomacy if he crosses his path with his endless circumlocutions. He crashes right in on your forms of pro priety, your nirs and distinguished considerations. We once saw him beset by a committee it must have been sent to extend thanks and dis tinguished consideration for his great services in bchait 01 our country while in England. There wero kid gloves of course. There was a per fect puff of patchouly from silk hand kerchiefs and court dresses, and dia monds in a shower, and all that. Then the French etiquette, the prelimina ries, the coming to the point, the craven manner, the bowings, nonsense, hypocrisy, gentility, in short, refine ment of the poor creatures, bewildered the poor man so that when at lost he shut them off with an abrupt grunt, not even saying good evening, we thought he breathed again as one gasp ing tor fresh air. 1 his is the Amen ennism of our times and country. He is religiously and politically an em bodiment of our future Church and State. As the prophet of the coming kingdom, he heralds in what his whole life will yet exemplify. No man of this nation is to impress upon the nation his character more than Henry Ward Beecher. Franklin stimped his sprit of econ omy upon our American boys, but Mr. Beecher will stamp his whole soul upon the lives and aspirations of our whole people. Cure fob Ingrowing Nailssv It is stated cauterization by hot tal low is an immediate core for ingrowing nails. Put a small piece of tallow in a spoon and hold it over a lamp nntil it becomes very hot, and then drop between the nail and the granulations. The effect is most magical. Pain and tenderness are at once relieved, and in a few days the 'granulations all go away, leaving the diseased ports dry and destitute of all feeling, and the edge of the nail exposed so as to admit of being paired away without any in convenienoe. 1 The operation causes but little pain if the tallow is properly heated.

The business that mainly occupies men in this world is trade ; the secret of success in trade, after reasonable judgement and industry are used, is advertising. This fact was never so generally recognized by business men 0 . 1 ?il- At? !i it as now, ana wiui wis recognition wey include the fact that only jiidi-aous ad- !. !....:. L T LA J ,t it judicious is one of the deepest pro blems which come before them. For this problem contains many conditions, such as, for example, the medium for advertising, tt-e time, the region, the class of persoiU to be addressed, the quality and quantity of things said, the persistence thai may be desirable, and, a'jove all, the discovery of some new and striking way of seizing pub ):e attention. For the priz:i of1 ad vertising are the result of combining bold expenditures with original anil pleasing methods. The theories of advertisers upon all these conditions, particular .'y tlie last, are wonderfully various, those who disbelieved in advertising at all, being now too few for mention. One" man believes in advertising in publieaiio. :- where all his competitors advertise.! another where ho will bo aloue : one thinks advertising needless when busi ness is brisk, and useless when it is dull ; while another thinks the reverse; one believes 111 the cwy, another in the town 5 one bases his hope on mere length, and another takes half a page to print a few sentences, while another puts his announcement npsido down. Some advertise moderately and steadi ly, and some inako showy displays oc casionally. Iarge cities are full of devices outside of Newspapers. Boys distribute handbills at tho ferries and on the streets 5 a painted bed with net tings looped up greets the eyes of those who cross Fulton ferry, in mosquito time; men march solemnly about, dressed in some mysterious garment that proclaims the merits of India rubber goods and weather strips, or covered with buttons Jiom crown to sole, or bearing sign boards of chiro podists; a nuisance in the shapo of an advertising van haunts Broadway, and the curbstones, the fences, and the very pavemcuts everywhere are a flame. It may be called accidental, but the fact is that nearly all of the large for tunes made intrude during the Inf.' thirty years, both in this country nnd in England, have been made in con nection with iwrsistent and studied ad vertising. Drs. Jayne, Brnndreth and Ayer, Davis' Pain-killer, Russia salve, Bonner's Leihcr, Plantation Bitters, Hostctter's Bitters, Spalding's prepar ed glue, Holloway's pills, Eastman's business college, and Jiarnum s Mu seum are good examples. The amount of money sometimes paid for ndver Using is almost incredible, some firms having expended fifty thousand dol lars in a single week, and even tens of thousands upon a single advertise ment. Bcsido burdening the fences, several parlies have their own poets and advertisement writers, at liberal salaries. Messrs. Phalon & Son arc reported to have such a man, to whom thev nav three thousand dollars a vcar. and whoso duty was for a time com prised 111 devising a new conundrum every day, which should set forth a new the night blooming ccrcus. The secret of judicious newspaper advertising may be briefly stated. It consists, not in long standing adver tisements, which are inevitably placed in obscure corners ; but in short, fresh paragraphs, 1 renewed frequently, and possessing tho interest of reading mat ter. These are read for their own sake, and make new customers, as well as guide old ones. Mrs. Lincoln. Amongst all the mean things done by tho democrats, about the meanest is the persistence with which they dishonored President Lincoln, and visit their hatred of him upon his willow. While Brick Pome roy shocks all decent people by his ri baldry over the murder of our martyr ed chief, his more respectable coadju tors manufacture slanders on her who brars his name. One story has scarce run ib) rounds before another is started aTicr it ; and the last, by the World, is, that she is in New York, under the name of Mrs. Clarke, trying to sell her clothing and jewelry to add to her slender income, it Mrs. Jjincoln is reduced to such necessity, shame to the land, and it is the people, not her self, she screened when she dropped that honored name, in such a transac tion 5 but we have no doubt the story is a sheer fabrication, made to gratify democratic hate of the great dead, who had honored his wife as do few living men.

In ono of the ears that ply Fulton ave nue, Brooklyn, somo days since, a young swell in olbumen pantaloons, azure vest and milky tie, was disgrac ing tobacco by putting it into his mouth, ond wantonly sending the liquid residuum over tho ear floor. In its "flight" it alighted on the dress of a lady that circumstances forced to sit near thespittoon, and the fellow was tiltcrly too gross even to apologize. 1 lowever, when the lady made a re quest for his handkerchief to repair the stain as far as might be, and when the fellow refusal, he was considera bly surprised, nnd the passengers de lighted, by the lady very quietly turn ing up that section of her dress soiled by the fellow's brutality, and wiping it on tho dandy's pantaloons, with a result that made littlo channels run down to his boots. With a simple "Tako that, you dirty puppy," the woman resumed her composure, and the man suddenly remembered that he had an errand on the street. Let 'em all be served that way, aud rub it in hard.

"Bully for tho 'grnrians !" The speaker was thunderstruck. Evidently, his hearers had never heard of Ben Wade and tho Badicals.
