MY PRIVATE OPINIONS. BY noCOII AND iIFADT Mankind are no bettor tlmn r, libers, And-vharity proves but a lie; Salvation is doled out by jobbers; ; Benevolence 'a all m your eye. Friendship—a thing of convenience; : Happiness does not exist I ‘ Hope— something far in the distance; • Honor—a prize-fighter’s flat. Ciiptentmont is found in the gutter, . And wealth conies of robbing.the poor; Trust steals the bread and the butter ■From every grocery store. great less is being successful, jWo matter how wrong or how ri„ht; Title love while it lasts, is quite blissful, ;But it seldom icmains-over night. Slander is something quite common ; When- it touches it raises a blister; Is’s much used by every true woman ,W'ho is anxious to held a *■ frail sister.” Time virtue a sorry old maid is, Whose looks keep temptations away, While fashion makes all our fine ladles Who live only to make a display. Poverty is the worst of all evils; fTwill keep you in bondage for life. Change all your relations to—devils •And make a poor slave of your wife. Your children are objects of pity; Aristocracy christens them “ brats;” ' They are kicked about over our city Like so many troublesome rats. Christianity dwells where the steeple Lifts up its tall form towards heaven, A|id belongs to n privileged people f>Vho are Christians just oneday in seven. Brils'ca >s s racthing too holy For common mankind to possess; It is with' the meek and lowly Who do something more than “ profess.” Deception is found in all places; .’Tis confined to no section or class; We all have its mark on our faces; To prove it —-just look in the glass I ||lisffllaiii). AN ADVENTURE. ■' I never attended but one temperance Icc ture, said our friend B . with a peculiar smile. *• itud I don’t thinks shall ever attend another.” “ You probably found it dry ?” Well, yea—but that isn’t .it. The lecture was well enough, but I got into an awful scrape after it was over, that I never think of temper ance meetings without a shudder. I’ll tell you about it. It was in Jersey City, where I was 80p’etb;iug of a stranger, and the night was one of the season. Boreas! how it blew ! It was enough, to take your breath n way. Well, sir, the lecture was over and making’ out with the crowd, I lingered in the doorway, contemplating the awful scene, when somebody took my'arm. “ Where have you been 7” saul die sweetest voice in the world. •• 1 have been looking for you everywhere ” Very much surprised I turned jay Head and saw—but I can’t describe her! It makes me mad now' to think how prodigiously pretty she \vas ! ’With her left hand she leaned on my arm ; she was arranging her vail with her right and didn’t notice my surprise. “ Yon have been looking for me ?” I faltered. “Come, let us be going,” was her reply, press-, ing my arm. * A thrill to my heart What toraake of my lady’s address, I did not know. But she was tod. charming a creature for-me to refuse to ! accompany her. We started off in'the midst of the tempest, the noise of which prevented any conversation. At length she exclaimed with a screatp— , “ Put your arm arouad me, or I shall blow away.”' |I need'not describe to you my sensation, as I ptessei tjer to my bpartand burned on. It was very dark; nobody saw os'and allowing hep guide njy steps, I followed her motions through.. two or three short streets, until she stopped be- nu elegant mansion. • r you your key }•* .shocked, vMy key ?” I stammered,. .there must be some mistake.” ’ “ 0, jl. have one.,” ; \ And ns as she' opened the door, I stood wait ing to bid her good night, or to have some ex pMnatijn, when turhingqufckly, she said Queer ydp jet to,niglit f ain\t you com ing in IV ' : -.- . i 'fTlierj was something very tempting in the suggestion. Was I going in ? A warm house; And a pretty woman were ‘ certainly objects of jconBldei*dtion. ;and it was dreary to think of facing the storm and seeing her no mord. -It took me three-quarters ofasocdnd to make npjmy |asnd, and in I went; J ;There Was a dim jh'gjit jnj Uie hall. and as my guide fan rapidly dp.stairs, I thought I could do no thing better iSiin'lofrtin'up too. I followed her inth a very dark room. - ■ . . > [independent in everything.} “Lock the door, John.” she said. Now. «s if I had been the only John in the world, i thought she knew me. I felt for the key, and turned it in the lock without hesitation, wondering all the time what was coming next. Then an awful suspicion of some horrid tricks flashed upon my mind, for 1 hare often beard of infatuated men being lured to their destruc tion by pretty women, and I was on the point of re-opening the door, when my lady struck a light. Then—being an excessively modest man —1 discovered to my dismay that I was in a bel room.-! —alone with a woman in a bpd room ! I said something, I don’t know what it was, but the lady lighted her lamp, looked started at me an instant, turned as white as a pillow case and screamed— “ Who arc you ? How came you here ? Go quick—leave the room—l—l thought you were' mv husband !” and covering her face with her hands, she sobbed hysteric illy. I was petrified. Of course I was quite as anxious to leave,as she was to have mo But in my confusion,, instead of going out of the door which i ha>i come in. I unlocked another dpor, and walked into a closet. 10 00 Before I could rectify my error there came a terrible thundering at the first door The lady screamed ; the noise increased, and I felt pecu liar. knowing very well that now the lady’s real husband was coming, and that I was in rather a bad fix. Well aware that it would not do to remain in the closet, uud convinced of the danger of meet ing a man who might fait into the vulgar weak ness of becoming jealous. I was trying to col lect ray scat’ered senses in the darkness, when the lady rushed to me and Whispered in a mild manner— ‘\W.bat shall Ido ? If you do not go he will kill nie.” ' “o—but consider—” The thundering at the door drowned her voice Site flew to open it. As the wrathful husband burst into the room, 1 thought 1 felt a little sold, and crept im under some garments bunging in the closet. A gruff vpice roared ’and stormed—Otbetlo was Jealous and revengeful, Desderaona inno cent and distressed—then I heard ominous sounds, ns of some one looking under the bed “I know be is here! ,1 saw him come into the bouse with you ! You locked the door! I’ll have his heart out!” “ Hear me! Hear me ! I will explain it !” As I was listening attentively for the explanation, the garments under which I was concealed were quietly lifted, and fancy my feelings discovered in such a situation, by such a husband “ Well B we cried deeply interested. for we knew that every word of his story was trne, “how did you get out of the scrape?” ' “ I used a violent remedy for a violent com plaint. Driven in a corner—my life 1 in danger —perceiving at a glance that Othello was not as string as I was, I threw myself upon him, fell with him and held him there, until 1 had given a full explanation of the error, made him hear reason, and tamed him to be ns gen tle as a lamb. Then 1 left rather unceremoni ously, and have never seen Othello or Desdemo na since.” DEFINITIONS OF CHARACTER.

On the Illinois rivet;, two hundred miles from its junction with the Mississippi, there lived!'in 181 •it an old pioneer known in those days as “Old Parker, the Squatter.” His family consisted of a wife and three children, the oldest a boy of nineteen, a girl of seventeen, and the youngest a boy of fourteen. At tho time of which we write, Parker and bis oldest boy bad gone in company with three Indians on ;n' hunt, expecting to be absent some five or six days. The third day af ter their departure, one of the Indians returned to Parker s house, camein, and seated himself by the fire, lit his pipe, aud commenced smo king in silence. Mrs. Parker thought nothing of this, ns it was no uncommon thing for one of or sometimes more of a. party of Indians to run abruptly from a hunt, at; some sign they might consider ominous of had luck, and. in such in stances, were not very communicative. Baf at hist the Indian broke silence with—• “ Ugh. old Parker die. J? ’ This exclamation immediately drew Mrs. Parker’s attention, who inquired of the Indian, “ 'Vhat’s the matter with Parker?” Th.e Indian “ Parker sick; tree fed - on him; you go—he die.” The replies of the Indian somewhat aroused her suspicions. "She, however, came to the con clusion to send her son with the Indian to see what was the matter. The boy and Indian star ted. That night passed, and the next day too, and neither the boy nor the Indian returned.!— This confirmed Mrs. Parker in her opinion that there was foul play on. the part of the Indiana. So she and her daughter Went to work, anthbar ric ided the door and the! windows in the best way they could. The youngest boy’s rifle was the only one left, he not, having taken it with him when he went to h»qt his father. The old lady took the rifle, and fhe daughter the axe; and thus armed they determined to -watch through the night, and 'defend themselves if necessary. They had not| long to wait. About nightfall, or shortly after; that, some one com menced knocking at the door, crying out— “ Mother! mother!” But Mrs. Parker thought the voice was not exactly like that of her son ; and in order to as certain the fact, she asked ' him where the Indi ans were. The reply, which was, “um gone,” satisfied her on that point. She then said, as if speaking to her son— j “ Put your ear to the latch-hole of the door. I want to tell you something before you open the door.” The head was placed at-the keyhole, and the old lady fired through the spot and killed the Indian. She stepped baqk from the door in stonily, and it was well she did so. for quickly two rifle ballets came crashing through the win dow. A death -like silence ensued for about five minutes, when two more balls, in quick succes sion, were fired through the door ; then follow ed a tremendous punching with a log, the door gave Way. an Indian was: about to spring in, when the unerring rifle, fired by the old lady, stretched his body across, the threshold of the door. The remaining, or more properly, survi ving Indian fired at random, and ran, doing no injury. The mother and daughter, with the rifle and axe, then went to the river, took the canoe, and m six days arrived among the old French settlers in St ’.Louie. A party of about a dozen men crossed over into Illinois, and, af ter an unusual search, returned without finding either Parker or the boys. They were never found. There are yet soro«t of the settlers in the neighborhood of Peoria who still point out the spot where old Parser! the squatter, lived.— Sketches of Frontier Life. REARING CHILDREN. I.
