His heart when ho s.iw her kept sinking and sunk Aud his eye, meeting hers, began wluktugand wuukl Whllo she. In her turn, fell to thinking and thuuk. Ho hastened to woo her, and bwtetly ho wooed For his lovo grew until to a mouutalii It growed. Aud what he was longing to do that ho doed, Ln secret he wanted to speak aud ho spoke, To seek with his Bps what his heart long had soke; So ho managed to let the truth leak uud It loke. Ho asked her to ride to tho church nnd they rode. They so sweetly did glide thatthey both thought they glode, Then homeward, ho said, let us drive und they drove, And soon as they wished to arrive, they arrove j For whatcverho couldu'tcontrlve.bho controve, Tho kiss ho was dying to steal, then ho stole, At the feet wheie ho wanted to kneel, then ho knole, And ho rnld, "I feel better than ever I folo."

Ancient and Modern YVn.rlnrc. Tliovery striking differences exist be tween tlio mode In which war was car ried on ln ancient times, and thai In which It in conducted ln modern. Tho first of theso la that tho vast nrmaments of which we read as having been brought Into tho field by Scmlranils, Seaostrlsi, Xerxes, and others, In which tho num ber of combatants was estimated by hundreds of thousands, and oven by millions, were, In reality, composed of a host of non-combatants, ns well as of combatants. Xerxes, It is said, led an nrmy of 2,000,000 men Into Greece, yet It does not appear that ono lentli of that number took part In tho battle of Mar athon, which eirectually checked his aspirations for n while. Tho Greek nfmy thero engaged consisted of 30,000 men, heavily armed and well disciplin ed, drawn uplna8trong position, and ably ofUcered. Not ono of thorn was a useless man or an incumbrance. But tho Persian host was mado up of about 400,000 fighting men, lightly nrmod and indifferently led, whllo tho remainder wero slaves, cooks, barbers, aud every species of camp-followers, together with tho throng of personal attendants, mala nnd fomalc, of "tho Great King" nnd lils court, to say nothing of innumera ble horsos, mules, camols and other nn Imals reeiulred to drag these luxurious revellers and their baggagofrom Persia to Greece. Now it Is evident that It required far moro to feed and clotho this hordo of supernumeraries than tho fighting men ; indeed, making duo a! lowanco for Oriental exaggeration, It may well bo doubted whether tho numbers who iiccompauicd Xerxes did amount to 2,000,000 or oven half that, though soino nceounts go tho extrava gatit length of 0,000,000. They might havo subsisted on the fertile plains of sla Minor, but when they reached tho rugged mountains nnd defile of Thrace and Thessaly, It mutt have gone hard with them to procure supplier. And, doubtless, this was why, after wittiesj ing tho destruction of his licet at Sula nil?, Xerxes hastened back to Persia, leaving his generals to ptusecuto tho war, with 300,000 men, the vast bulk of his non-combatants returning with him lie was beaten by want of supplies. quite as much as by the heroism of the Greeks. Now, if wo can suppose lhat this system of carrying about with an army a hordo of "useless mouths" pro vailed nt tho prraent day, and that tho King of Prussia had collected half Ger many to follow him to the war, would ho havo achloved one-tenth part of what ho has? Would not tho very numbers ho brought with him have lm peded and stopped his operations? Yot this was tho ancient modo of carryitig on war, until tlio ureeKs anil tlio Ito mans, but especially tho latter, invent eel tho military organization, upon which modern armies aro based, where by all useless bauds aro relegated to tho rear or left entirely behind. Tho seconu or tneso inherences con sists in a practice which has been very much 'lost sight of when comparisons nro made between tho sanguinary re- suits of ancient and modern battles. The slaughter was much greater In an dent conflicts In proportion to numbers than it is in modern. It is a common thing to nttributo this to tho system of hand-to-hand fighting which then pro vailed. Tho only projectiles tho nn cientH had wero darts, arrows and stones, but theso were not effective at long ranges, and, indeed, wero general ly successfully resisted by shields of rhinoceros skin, or of tough leather, studded with nails, and by armor, of ion helmets and breastplates. This Is Insufficient to account for tho very dis proportionate losses wo almost alwayi find recorded between tho victors and vanquished, tho dlfTeronco being some' times twice or thrieons great. Tho truo reason of this dilferonco is that whe tlio vanquished wero driven off tho field tho victors put to death tho wound ed of tho enemy whom they found on tho ground. Thus up to n certain point In tlio coulllet tho losses might hav been nearly equal In killed anil woutie ed; but when thu tldo turned again ono party tlio victors recovered tliel own wounded and killed tho-oof the! adversaries. Lat it In supposed that 10,000 killed and 2(1,000 wouudo.l had fallen on each side until victory w declared, the victors would then recov er their 20,000 wounded and kill tho 20,000 of their oppnents, and tho losses would then stand 10,000 to 30,000. How different is tho modern system 1 A do routed foo Is driven olf tho Held, an tho victor occupies it. In his rear fol low surgeoiii with ambulance j they take up tho wounded of both parties indiscriminately, with thu greatest ear nlid tenderness, If thu latter can moved, If not they aro attended to on tho ground. What would bo tho su priso or an ancient warrior could ho riso out of Ihogravo and sco foes taking as much pains to cure, as tliey hail pre vlously taken to kill, each other Would ho not exclaim "what an ub surdity war UVPMlad'a Ledger, Ai'tcnius nml UcUy Juno, In an affecting account of his court ing with Betsy Jane, Artcmus Ward sa-,i ' ' . . .

Tito Social .Spirit of Sun rriui- clsco. Tho main characteristics of San Fran cisco, as compared with tho Atlantic cities, aro that hero the pcoplo aro lumper and ruddier In nppoaranco, thero aro fower efforts at display by tho rich, and fower indications of severe poverty among tho poor, tho colors and patterns of dress aro plainer and the material richer, nnd tho stranger is met with moro cordiality. ThoCallfornians often complain that pcoplo In tho East seem to bo afraid of compromising themselves by civility to now acquain tances. Moro regard is paid thero to a man's position and less to his Intellec tual valuo. Socloty Is slow to admit now comers without indorsement by sorao established authority. Thero is nn atmosphero of reserve that is do signed to prcservo tho higher circles from tho contamination of unkuown applicants for admission. Tho cool climate of San Francisco re quires active oxerciso for comfort, and gives a fondness for out-door oxerciso nnd for amusement. With us thero Is no interruption ln enjoyment. No ox trcmo heat or cold puU n stop to our lively season. In Eastern cities thero nro many weeks of lassitude, when no ono wishes to mako any intellectual or physical exertion moro than Is requi site, as a matter of business, and this Iassltudo shows itself in tho nppoaranco of tho pcoplo on tho streets. Sacramen to In tho summer, resembles tho small er cities in tho Mississippi Valley In tho mattor of heat, nnd a lady from that placo says sho likes to como hero for a few days at n time, becauso tho cllmato is bo oxhllirating, and sho feels llko spending all her tlmo in amusements ; but sho would not wish to livo hero bo- cause sho should be out all tho time, and would neglect her children and house hold. In S.m Francisco tho ladies follow tho European stylo of dressing in plain col ors on tho street, whereas In New York nnd Chicago, tho colors aro often bright and gaudy, and several Inharmonious tints may be seen mixed upon tho samo person. Something of tho difference Is duo to tho coslneso of our summers, which do not permit tho uso of dresses very light either In color or texture. In Eastern towns and cities, poor women and girls aro often seen In tho street without shoos or stockings, but never hero. Tills poverty may bo honorable, but It attracts tho notice of Californlnns at onco. Fifty leading men from Front and California streets put down amidst tho Chicago Board of Trade would bo read ily distinguishable by their plainer dress from their Lako Shoro brethren. On ono side of tho continent thero is moro plainness nnd moro dovotlon to enjoyment ; on tho other there is moro stylo and moro effort to nppear aristo cratic. Perhaps wo see theso things through tho eyes of prejudlco; but as wo do seo them, wo confess a decided preference for the social pplrit that pre vails In San Francisco. Alia Califor ma. Swlii tilers. Among tho many dlshonests trades carried on in tho city or New York, that or swindling tho unwary by means of circulars offering counterfeit money for salo seems to bo tho most successful In sentencing two counterfeit money swindlers to six months on Blackwell's Island, tho Judge of tho criminal Court of New York stated recently that In forty-soven days tho prisoners had ro ceived thirty thousand dollars from their dupes. This disclosure convoys an unfavorablo impression also as to tho morality or tho country, nnd would seom to provo that moro persons than aro commonly imagined havo no Eenso or tho dishonesty Involved In tho pas ing or counterfeit money. Very fre quently also tho purchasers do not ob tain oven tho counterfeit notes for which thoy transmit tho gonulno mon ey, tho sellers either paying no atten tlon to tho order or delivering a pllo of blank paper, with ono gcnulno noto laid on top. In spite, however, of tho frequent disclosures of theso frauds, tho ignorant and greedy still offer them Helves as fair game for tho swindlers in Now York, who, not content with tho field of labor offered In tho United States, havo now oxtended their opera Hons to England. Thus tho London Times says, that a person In Now York pretending to bo a tobacconist, has sent out to England, circulars, marked con fldentlal, offering counterfeit sovereigns "mado of aluminum, round in the Rocky Mountains," nt two pounds sterling, for twenty to fifty pounds, for flvo hundred of theso counterfeit -'ohis Tho aluminum sovereigns, tho circular says, aro so good In nppoaranco, color and wolght, that experts aro taken in Tho persons desiring such sovereign nro requested to sond their orders and tlio money In form of orders for smok ing tobacco, nt prices according to tho enclosed list, nnd no person will bo nl lowed to buy moro than flvo hundred Tho Loudon Times thinks that only to bacco will bo sent for tho monoy, and calls tho plan a very clevorswlndlo. It Is much moro likely, howover, that tho Englishman who sends over his fifty pounds, will obtain neither tho aluml num sovereigns nor tho tobacco. Ledger, Entici.no Away Other People'i Husbands.

Tho In- habitants or every nation manifest sim ilar instincts, and one or tlio strongest is this desiro to seek outsomo substance tho uso or which may ttiruulato or soothe tho nervous system. There U no deprivation which thu habitual, t though not excessive, smoker reels -.o much as tho loss or tobacco ; and sohl iers or all nations, especially or the- French and German nations, smoke it. It was 'a standing injunction of tho Firt Napoleon that his troops should havo tobacco, und they found it of tho greatest advantage In tho retreat from Moscow. Wo havo been accustomed to look upon the German as fond of hard, Intellectual toil for its own sako; and men or abstraction and imagination, ir wo may Judgo from tho prevalence or the practlco of smoking among them, unquestionably appear to ilntl an niel in tobacco. But tho manhood of Germany has risen llko a giant refreshed to un dergo auy physical exertion and hard ship that may bo required; and this war has taxed tho physical energies or tho strongest. Tho soldier, wearied with long march es und uncertain rest, obtaining his food how and when ho can, with hU nervous system always in a stato or tension rrora tho dangers and excitement ho en counters, finds that his cigar or plpo euables him to sustain hunger or ratiguo with comparative equanimity. Ex plain it as wo may, this Is physiologi cally truo; and medlc.il officers who would not bo sorry to tico tho Issue or a "spirit ration" discontinued, nro com pelled to nllow that tbo moderato usoor tobacco by soldiers In tho field has sov- eral advantages. For the wounded It is probablo that tobacco has slight ano dyne and narcotic properties, that ena ble tho sufferer to sustain pain better during tho day and to obtain sleep dur ing tho night. Hard on Editors. Soon after Clilof Justico Chaso assumed tho guber natorial chair in Ohio, ho Issued his proclamation appointing n Thnnksglv Ing Day.

That would havo been ti pretty fair Joko; but tho next day tho Republican editor camo out valiantly In defonso of tho Governor, pronounced tho charge libelous, and chulenged any man living to produco ono single lino of tho procla mation that had ever appeared In print before.

After tho coro utouy nothing can bo seen of tho can didate aud tho ground Is all nicely s "ti ded over, Wcilillng 1'tlqiicftb, ir tlio wedding tnkc3 place In tha church, it Is customary to reserve tho front scats ln tho body or tho church for tho relatives of tho young couplo. it is tho height of rudonoss for any one, whether clergyman, bridegroom, or nny member of tho bridal train, to kccji tho brldo waiting. Tho clergy man, should bo within tho rails, tha bridegroom and groomsmen should be In tho vestry-room, by tho tlmo tha' tlmo tho brldo Is duo nt the church. Tha bridesmaids may receive tho brldo la tho vestibule, or may accompany hor lo the church, Tho bridal party should meet in tha vestry-room. Then tho brldo, loaning on the orni of her rather, heads the pro cession ; the bridegroom, with the bride's mother upon his arm, follows then the groomsmen nnd bridesmaid" In couples follow. At tho altar, tho bridegroom receive the Ik tile, and tho ceremony begins. Tho groomsmen stand behind the brldo. Tho brldo and bridegroom romovo tha right hand glove In some churches; la others It is not deemed ncces-nry. The brldo stands on tho loft of tho groom. When tho wedding takes placo at tha houo of the bride, It Is customary to divide thy room either by folding doors or a curtain, nnd allow tho bridal party to be grouped beforo their rrlonds sea them. If, however, this Is not conve nient, thoy enter in tho same order as in church. It. "is somewhat customary of lato for tho brldo and groom to wait arm-in-arm to thonltar; but it is against established etiquette ;tho bride should walk with her father, or, ir orphanod, with whoover takes tho father's placo on tho occasion. Whero a ring is used, It is tho duty of tho first bridesmaid to removo tha bride's left hand glove. After tho ceremony, tho brldo and groom go in tho samo carrlago from the church to tho house, or from tho houso to tho railway depot. IT thero Is a breakfast or supper, tho brldo does not change her dress until sho assumes hor traveling dress. If parties ore given to the brido and groom, tho bridesmaids and groomsmen must also bo invited, and if they prefer, all may wear tho dress worn at the wed ding. This Is, howover, optional. During tho fortnight following tha wedding, friends of tho family should call upon tho mother of tho bride. Ic is contrary to etiquette to wear mourning to a wedding. Evan in tha case of a widowed mother to either of tho happy pair, it is customary to wear gray, or somo neutral tint, upon tho wedding day, evon if tho deopeit mourning is resumed afterwards. It is not etiquette, at a wedding or wedding reception, to congratulate the brido ; it is the bridegroom who receives congratulation; to tho brido wishes for her future happiness. A gentleman or lady who Is acquainted with both bride and groom must speak first to tho bride ; but if a stranger to either, may first speak to the ono with whom he la already acquainted who will then lntro duco tho other. If a stranger to both, bride und groom, tho first groomsman must mako tho introduction. By-laica nf American Society. Tlio iit-stlon Answered.
