THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT. BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, VA. OHOOSINQ A HUBBAflD. A TAI.t WHICH SHOWS THAT AM. THAT GLITTERS M NOT OOLI). "Twa oirern at onco! You nro tmly a favored maiden, Roso,'' said Annetto Lowiu to her young friend, Hose Ulton, in a gay tone. "It is husband or no husband with most of us i but you havo a clioico between two." "And happy shall I bo If I havo tho wisdom to tihooso rightly,11 was tho ro ply of Uoso. "If it wero my case, I do not think I should havo much difficulty in making a choice." "Don't youT Suppose then you givo mo tho benefit of your preference. "Oil, no, not for tho world!" replied Annetto, laughing. "I'm atraid you might bo joaloui of mo afterward.' "Never fear. I am not of a jealous disposition." "No, I won't commit myself in re gard to your lovers. Iiut if thoy wore mine I would soon lot it bo known where my preference lay." "Then you won't assist mo in com ing to a decision. Surely I am entitl ed to this act of friendship." "If you put it upon that gmund, Hose, I do not see how I can refuse." "1 do put it upon that ground, An netto. And no,v, I ink you, as a friend, to give ma your opinion of tha two young men, Jamoi Hambleton and Marcus Gray, who havo seen such wonderful attractions in my 'hutnblo self as to become- suitorj for my hand at the same time." "Decidedly, then. Hose, I should prefer Marcus Gray. "There is about him, certainly, An uottc, much to attract a maideu'.s eyp, and to capiivato her heart; bat it has occurred to mo that the most glittering suri'aco does not always indicato tin purest gold beneath. I remember, once, to havo eeon a missivo chain, wrpught from pure ounces, placod be side another that was far inferior in quality, but with a surface of ten times richer hue. Hid I not been told tho difference, I should havo chos en tho latter as in ovory way mom valuable. But whon it was explained that ono boro the hue of genuino gold, wlnlo tno other had uocn colored by a process known to iowolers, I was struck with tho lesson it taught." "What lesson, Hose?" "That tho richest substance has not always tho most glittering exterior. That real worth, satistiod with tho con sciousness of interior sounduess of principle, assumes few imposing ox toiior aspects and forms." "And that rulo you apply to theso t'o young men!" "By that rulo I wish to bo gaidod, in somo degrees, in my choice, An netto. 1 wish to keep my mind so balanced that it may not bo swayed from a sound discrimination by any thing of imposing exterior." "But it is not tho exterior that which meets tho eyo all wo can judge IromT Is not tho exterior a truo ex prossion of what is within!'' "Not by any means, Annette. I grant that it should be, but it is not. Look at tho fact just named respecting the V.l. ...... "But they wero inanimato substan ces. They wero not faces, whore thoughts, ieolings and principles find expression." "Do you suppose, Annette, that bad gold would over havo bcou colored so as to look oven more beautiful than that winch is genuino if there bad not been men who assumed exterior graces and virtues that wero not in their mind! No; tho very fact you adduce strengthens my position. The time was, in tho oarlicr and purer ages tho golden aces of tho world's existence, when the countenance was tho true in dex to tho mind. Then it was a well tuned instrument, and the mind within a skillful player, to whoso touch every musclo and chord and minute liber gavo answering melody. That time has passed. Men now sohool thnir faces to deception. It is an art which nearly all practice myself and your sen loo otten. we study to appear what wo are not. Look at somo men whom wo moot every day; with faces whose calmness, I should lather say rigidity, give no ovidonco that ; single emotion over crossed the wave less ocean of their minds. But it ii not so. I ho mind within is activo with thought and feeling. But tho in Birumem lormjiU lor it to play upon has lost its tune, or bears only relaxed or broken chords." "You havo a strango, visionary way ol talking, sometimes Kose, replied Aunctto, as her mend paused speak ing. "All that may do for your Gor man transcendentalism, or whatever you may call them; but it won't do when you como down to tho m alter-oT bUBiuess ot life. "To mo it seems eminently a practi cal pnnciplo, Annetto. Wo must act in all important matters in life with jusi discrimination; and how can wo truly discriminate if wo aro not wjll veined tit thoso philosophical principles upon wiMcn, anu oniy upon which right discriminations can bo made?" "I must confoJS, Hose," replied hor young friend, "that I do not hoo much hearing that all this has upon tho mat tcr under discussion; or, at least, I can not seethe- truth of its application uoid never assumes a lealen exterior "Well!" vo need not do very emineii philosophers to distinguish ouo from tho other.' "No, of course not." "Very well. Hero is Marcus Gray with a (ronuine golden exterior, and James Hambleton, with a lcadon ouo "I do not grant that position, An nettc. It is truo that Mr. Hamhluoii is not so brilliant and showy, but I havo found in him ono quality that I havo not vet discovered in thu other, "What'is that!" "Depth of feeling and high moral principle. "You certainly do not pretend to af firm lint Mr. Gray has neither feeling nor principioi "vi courso i no not. 1 only say that I havo novcr yot perceived any very strong indications ot their oxis tenco." "Why, Host!" "I am m earliest, Annetto. I doubt not that ho possesses both, and, I trust m a high degree. But ho seems to bo bo constantly acting a brilliant part, that nature, unadorned and simple, has no ohanco to speak out. It is not so with Mr. Hambleton. Kvory word ho utters shows that ho is Bpeakin what ho really feels ; and often, thougl: not so hiuhly polishod in speech as M Gray, I havo heard him utter sentiments of genuino truth and humanity in a tone that mndo my heart hound with pleasure at recognizing the simple eloquence of nature, ills character, Annette, J find in no way dillloult to read ; that of .Marcus Gray puzzled my closest scrutiny." "I ceMaiuly can not nympathlzo with yon in your singular notions, Rose," her frlond replied. "Cortaiu it is tint I ujvor dusovefdl oithor of tho peculiarities in theso young men that you scorn to mitVo of o much Impor tance. As for Mr, Gray, ho is a man of whom any woman might feel proud, tor bo combines intelligence with cour teous manner, and a fino person whllo this llambleton is, to me, 'insufferably stupid. And no one, I am pure, cau oill his address and manners any thing liko polished. Indeed, I should pronounce him downriaht boorish and awkward. Who would want a man for a husband of whom sho would bo (i-dmmcd! Not I, certainly.'1 "I will readily grant you, Annette," Hoso said, as her friend ceaed speak ing, "that Mr. Ha i blotoo's exterior at tractions aro not to bo compared with thoso of Mr. Gray. But as I said bo. fore, in a matter liko thu, where it is lh" quality of the mind, and not the fx'erual appearance; of tho man alone, that is to give happiness, it behooves a maiden to look benoath tho surface, as I am trying to do now." "But I could not lovo a man liko Mr. Hambleton, unlo?s, indeed, theio vcro no possibility of getting any ono else. In that caso I would make a choice of evils between single blessed ness and such a husband. Jiut, to have two such offers as vou have, Hose, and hesitate to mike a choice, strikes me as s'uiL'ular indeed." "I don t hesitate, Annette, ' was tho itiiet reply. "Have you then, indeed, decided, Hose!" "I have an 1 this conversation has aused mo to decide; for as it has prog ressed, mv mind has been enabled to i-ee truly tho real difference in tho characters of my suitors." "ion have then decided in favor of Mr. Gray!" Indeed I have no', Annette. Though I almlro his fino talents, and his polished exterior, yet I have never been ablo to petceivein him thoso qual ities on which my heart can rest in confidence. Ho will possess tlics in von a higher degreo than Mr. Ham bleton, but I am afraid to ruu so great a risk. In tho latter, I know thoro aro moral qualities that I can love, and that I can repose upon." "lint he is so dull, Hose. " "I really do not think ho, Annetto Thero is not so much Hash about him, f I may use tho word, about Mr. Gray. But as to his being dull, I must beg to differ with you. To me, his co ivcr- sation is always interesting." "It never is so to ma. And besides all that, his tastes and mine aro as widelv different as the poles. Why, Hose, if you become his wifo you will sink into obscurity at once, lie can never mako any impression on society, it is not in nun. "Hatlier mako no impression on soc iety at all than to false or disgraceful one, say.l," was the firm reply of Hose. "i oil can not, certainly, me3n to say, returned her friend, "that tho impres sion made upon society by Mr. Gray is either a talso or disgracetnl one. I should be sorry to make that as sertion, for I do not belieo such to be the case," Hose replied. "What I mean i ', that I can read Mr. Himblc tou's truo character, and know it to bo based upon hxed and high moral prin ciples. Theso can novcr mako tho woman who truly loves him unhappy. Thoy givo place to no moral coutin gencies, by which hopes aro ho often wrecked and hearts bioken. Now, in regard to Mr. Gray, there is uothing in his character, so far as I can read it, upon which to predicts safe calcula tions of this kind. He is intelligent and highly interesting as a companion. ills personal appearance and his ad dress aro attraetivo- But all below tho oxteiior is hidden. The moral quabtios of tho man novcr show them Bclves. I feel that to givo my heart to such a ono would bo risking too much. Of cour.so I must decline his offer." "indeed, indeed. Hose, I think you nro very toolmh! "l imo will show, Annette." "Yib, time will sho-," was tho pro phetio response. And time did show that uoso mndo a right choico when she accepted tho our ol James iiamoieton, and gave him a warm, iruo heart. Widely and well did bho choose, for in her clioico sho was governed by a rationol con viction that Jam 's Hambleton s char actor was based upon high maral prin ciples, in resting her hopes upon theso sho had nothing to tear.

Steve BnoniE Went Over ahi Lives. Stovo Brodlo tho Brooklyn briJco jumper, went over Niagara Falls In n robber stilt, anil still survives, mo following is his account of it : Stovo lirodio eat in tho litllo room abovo his Bowery laloon and received the congratulations of his friends upon his safo return, bteve explained tho whole situation over and over again. Tho thine which impressed him more strongly even than Niagara Falls was the UMnauian uourt where no was tried. "I've been thinking about Niajjery Falls for years,'' said Stove, "an' if I hadn't cone over when I did I'd a died a crazy man. You see that pic ture of Niageryl It's all marked ur.dcr it in black whero its been handled so much. Miny a night I'vo looked at it and I say to mo ole woman. 'I'll J'ump Niagery or I'll die,' and I did ump it, and 'do man dat Bays I didn't Is a paralyzed liar. Htevo then went on to tell about tno trip to Niagara. At Clifton a custom inspector who was posted to walcn him, was seen at ouo end of the train, and Stove avoided him by getting out of thu car at tho other end. "I was rigged up so mo own brother ivouldn t know me," said Steve. "I had bluo ppecs on, blue clothes an' a luster. I wasn t around long till 1 started out to look for a place to Ktart trom. A nigger driver look tno up do bank to a place called Cedar Island, on do Canada shore. I took bits of wood and flung 'em into tho wa'.er ai' aw by de way da current went lhat it was uo best place lo start from. Wo spent de night at do hotel. I never id opt a wink all night. "uo Hotel proprietor was told wo was crooks from New York, pick pockets bound for de Toronto fair, and ho kept men watching us all do timo wo staid with him. It was three o'closk Saturday morning when I got up. 'I can't sleep no longer, Mill, says I to Harding, an' I'm goin' to havo dis thing over onco an' for all.' We had about two miles to go to (Jedar Idland. Harding an' Ledger went below to fish me body out when Iwenl over, an' Jerrold an' McCarthy went along wid mo. I was tired whon 1 got there an' laid down. " 'Are you weakening, Steve! Bays McCarthy. No says I. 'Give me a drink,' an' I took a drink. Then they pnt dia suit on me. First of all he wrapped mo around with cotton an inch an' a half thick. An' then they put this over me. I got in at 5:30 au' started out for.tho trip. Mo neck was bound too tight an' I started to como back. 'He's afearod' says Jerrold. Well tho word nerved mo an' I began to paddlo out. I couldn't como back, anyhow. Thero was loo much current. "How did you feel going over the Falls?'' asked ono of tho crowd. "Feel" replied Brodie j "I can't be gin to tell you. I remembered every nin I over done, and mo hair got cold and mo scalp felt liko ice water was diippin' down on it. I felt a kind of a plunge when I hit tho top of tho Falls, then a second plunge when 1 landed on rait. I guess it was about then I lost me senses, for I don't re member rightly just how it was I got out. It seemed to me 1 wa a month in do water before I was hauled out. "I was bronght to de Waverly, au a doctor camo. 1 lelt liko all me bones were broke. I tried to get up at twelve o'clock, but I began heavin' up an' bad to go In bed agin. When I was arrested de Judgo sas : " 'If vou II say you didn t go over do Falls I'll lot you go.' "'Wdl, says 1, U dnln t go over d.n.' " 'You'll swear to dis piper.' says he, in ho till ils a Ing long paprr certify in' that 'mo Stovo llrodie, fixed up i job on do public tn noer went near to do Falls.' Hold up your hand and wear to an stalcmentc, so help me Hod,' aays l.o. " 'Judge nays I, 'I am at your mercy, Vou got mo lietu an' you can do what u want to wid me. But, Judge, I'd lay and rot for fifty years before I'd swear to a lie. I went over Niagory in' I am proud of it. Now you can hang me if you want to.'

Tin greatoH woudur in tho ttatu of Iowa, and perhaps in any state, is what is called tbo "Wallud Like," in SViight comity, twelve miles North of tho U lib u q in and l'aoifio HiiUay, and lf0 mile West of Dubuque city. Tins lake is from two lo throij feet higher than tho earth's surface. In some Uces the wall is ten feet hiuh, fi ft- eu feet wido at thu bottom aud livo feet wido on top. I uo elones used in il construction vary in weight from tlirei; ions down to 100 pounds. Thero is an abund ance of stones in Wright county, but nirroundiiig the lako to the extent of ten miles there aro none. No one can form an idea as to llie means cinpl ycd to bring tliein to tliu sp t or wlio cun stnielo'l it. Around the entiro luke is t bell of woodland one-half milo in width composed of oak. With this exception tho couutry U a rolling prairie.
