Tbou hast Learned to Love Another, Thou hest learned to love another, Thou hest broken every vow, We have parted from each other, And my heart is lonely mow. I have' taught my looks to shun theft When coldly we have met; For another's smile bath won thee, And thy voice I must forget. Oh, is it well to sever This heart from thine forever? Car. I forget thee never?— Farewell, farewell, forever ! We have met in scenes of pleasure, We have met in halls of pride ; I have seen thy new found treasure, I have gazed upon thy bride ; I have marked the timid lustre Of thy downcast happy eye; I have seen thee gaze upon her, Forgetting I was by. I'll grieve that e'er I met thee, Fain, fain would I forget thee, 'T were folly to regret thee,— Farewell, farewell, forever! We have met and wo have parted, But I uttered scarce a word, Like a guilty thing I started When thy well known voice I heard. Thy looks were stern and altered, And thy looks were cold and high, How my traitor courage faltered When I dared to meet thine eye. 0, woman's love will grieve her, And woman's pride will leave her; Life has fled when lore deceives her,— Farewell, farewell, forever! POPPING THE QUESTION We heard of many cases of "popping" Under very singular circumstances,the eccentric, the abrupt, the business-like, the silly, and a hundred other styles. Of the eccentric, we would cite the case of a well known merchant, who, one day dining at a friend's house, sat next to a lady who possessed rare charms of conversation. The merchant did not possess this faculty in a very rare degree, but he could -do that which was next best, he could appreciate, an appreciation which he endeavored to Flow by the following modo of action : "Do you like toast, 'Miss B—?" "Yes," responded the lady, quite surprised at the question. "Buttered toast ?" "Yes." "That is strange; so do I. Let ❑s get marriod." There cannot be much doubt" that the lady Was taken slightly aback, a faet that did not prevent the marriage from coming off in a month afterwards, nor the accession of the lady to one of the finest establishment in the city. —As a specimen of the abrupt, we shall cite the case of a gentleman who had retired from business at the 'age of forty, add built himself a beautiful house, determined to enjoy life to the utmost. One day a friend was dining with him and said jokingly: "You have everything here that the heart can desire but a wife." "That's true. I must think of it," and then relapsed into silence for a feiv minutes, at the end of which time he rose, begged to bo excused for a Short time, and loft the room. He seized his hat and went instantly to a neighbor's and was shown into the parlor, with the information that neither the pastor nor the mistress wore at home. He told the servant that he wanted neith er, and requested that the housekeeper be sent to him. She came, and the gentleman thus addressed her: "Sarah, I have known you for many years and I have just been told that I want a wife. You aro tho only wom an I should be willing to entrust my happiness with, and if you agree, we will be instantly married. What is your answer ?" Sarah knew the man that addressed her, and knew that his offer was seri ous, and as well weighed as though considered for a year and she answered him in the same spirit. "I agree." "Would you be ready in an hour ?" "I will." shall return for you at that time." Which he did, the gentleman who had suggested the ides accompanying him to the clergyman's. llany years have passed since then and neither party has seen any cause to regret the abrupt proposal and acceptance. —Of the business style, we can cite a case related to us, which we know for a true one. A young man who had succeeded to the ill-kept and badly cul tivated, though really valuable farm of a deceased uncle, saw at a glance that two thir.gs were absolutely neces sary to enable him to succeed; the first being a wife to take charge of the woman's department, and the second a few thousand dollars to stock it with. He could not help thinking to himself that, possibly, these two great aids to his happiness and prosperity might be found together, and yet without at tempting to put his matrimonial and financial ideas into practice, he allow ed them to haunt him continually. With this upon his mind, our farmer started upon a horseback journey to a distant part of the country, and upon his return made an acquaintance upon the road, in the person of an old gen tleman,who was jogging the same way. The companions dined together at a wayside inn, and fraternized pleasant• ly, during which the young man open ed his heart to the elder, telling him all his plans and aspirations, when the old gentleman addressed the younger. "I rather like you, my friend, and your honest way of telling your story, and if you will come and see me, I, shall be glad. I have three daughters, all as good girls as ever lived. Now, perhaps, 9no of them may be the very ono you are looking for; if so, I will do my best toward making the balance of the matter agreeable. Ride over and see me to-morrow, take dinner, and stay the afternoon, which will give you a fair chance to see them and j udge Tho young man instantly agreed to the proposal, makirig only a condition that tho young ladies should not be in- formed of the nature of the errand. This was agreed to, and they separa ted. The next day, at the time appointed, the young man dismounted at the door of the house of his now Mild° friend, and was heartily welcomed. The hour before dinner was consumed iulooking over the farm, the young man in ad miring ite keeping, and the old one in approving of the sensible and practical remarks of the younger, when the meal was announced, and the three young ladies and their mother intro duced. They were all, as the old gen tleman said, the girls, but the younger, rosy-checked, blue-eyed, and laughing. faced,charmed the young farmer espe cially. The dinner over, they once more walked out for a chat, "Well, how do . you like my (laugh tors?" was tho old gentleman's first question. "They are all nice girls, very nice," said the young man thoughtfully. "And which of them do you like best?" was the next question. "The youngest,Kate,she is charming, and if I am to be your son in law, you must give me Kate !" "This will never do to take the youngest and by all odds the prettiest," said the old gentleman, seriously. "I must have her or none," was the response, spoken decidedly. •e: "How much money did you say you wanted ?" "Five thousand dollars will put my farm in excellent order, and make it worth twenty thousand tomorrow, I must haVo five thoisand dollars." "I'll give you the sum with either of the other girls," said the old man, Pos• ttively; "but I will give but three thousand with Kate." "Then I may as well go to my home. Five thousand I must have, I have set my mind upon it." "And I have just as strongly deter mined to do only what I have Said," Was the old gentleman's reply; "so I suppose the matter is at an end. How ever, we will be good friends, and you must sometimes run over and see me." This ended the conference and they parted. The young man mounted his horse, and rode down toward the road, but just as he was about opening the gate, stooping from his saddle : the laughing faced Kate sprang through tbo shrubbery to save him the trouble. "Can't you accept my father's term?" "Yes, by George, I will, if you say so," was the instantaneous response. "Then come over to morrow .morn ing before ten o'clock and tell him so," and the girl vanished like a fairy among the leaves. The young man rode slowly home but ho was on hand next morning, according to bidding, and married the fair Kato in two months after. --As a specimen of tho absurd, we can not do better than oite a ease that occurred within the jurisdiction of a county village in Massachusetts. There was a certain Zachariah Peebles, a stout, industrious, sober and bashful farm hand, a resident of that locality. Zack was celebrated not for what he did say, but for what ho did not, his silence being a matter of marvel thro' all that chattering neighborhood.— Zach, with all his taciturnity, was not proof against the shafts of love, and ono day was smitten with the whole some charMs of the only child of tbo widow Brown, a bright eyed girl, pos sessing the same trait of silence as Zack, though not in so eminent a de- gree. The first time Zack showed his ad miration f'or Sally was by seizing up a large basket of cowfeed she was about HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1805. -PERSEVRE I ,- to carry into the stables, and hurrying thither in a frightened way, much as though he was taking it from a burn ing house. After that Zach seemed to bo perpetually on the watch for oppor tunities to save the fair Sally from heavier work. Theee delicate atten tions could not fail to attract the at tention of the widow Brown, who, re. ally suspecting the young man, invited him into the house to spend the even ing, and from that time Zach was in a fixity. lie would sit in the chimney corner of the old fashioned house, scarcely ever speaking, dividing his attentions equally between . the fire and feasting his eyes on Sally. For two years this quiet adoration went on, and the neighbors wondered why, as there was nothing to prevent it, they did not marry. It never had been known whether the idea arose out of Zach's own brain, or whether it was a hint from a friend, but at last he did find courage to pop the question. It was done in this way... The time was New Year's eve, and the fair Sally had been preparing a stout jug of mud dled cider that she might have some thing to cheer Zach's heart when he came in. Ho came, he. drank, and took his accustomed scat in the chim ney corner", where he sat quietly as usual for a few minutes, and then without any previous symptoms, he rose up to his full height, six feet and two inches, putting his head up the chimney so that but little of him was seen above the waist, and delivered the following oration : "If somebody loved somebody as well as somebody loves somebody, somebody would marry somebody." Zack remained with his head up the chimney after this speech, silent as death, for some minutes, until ho came forth from his place of refuge at the earnest solicitation of widow Brown, with a face glowing like the setting sun. The thing was done, however, and Zack and S.aliy woro married in a few weeks after, and we are convinced that if either of them could be induced to talk now, after a trial of a dozen years, they would say that they were entirely satisfied with that mode of popping the question. —Apropos to th = is subject we find an item in one of our neighboring ex changes that we may call the hasty style of "popping . the question": Silas B— is the name of a young man who, after serving Uncle Sam as a "bold sojer boy" for several years, has recently returned to this "neck o' timber," and become one of the pro prietors of a line of hacks plying be tween Hollidaysburg and Martinsburg. Miss Martha U— is the name, or was until recently, of a fair and come ly lass residing with her "parients" somewhere within the classic regions of. the interior of this State. These two, if our information bo not at fault, form the hero and heroine of a little domestic drama of recent occurrence, the details of which we shall endeavor to narrate for the edification of the en. rious in such matters. Not many moons ago the aforesaid Silas was leisurely driving his "coach and two" through the trade and trade deserted streets of a certain ancient village, when he was suddenly taken with a spiritual or bodily ailment of some kind, and with a view to obtain ing alleviating aid he for the time being "pulled up rein" at a friendly house by the wayside. Hero he met with a goodly number of genial spirits, and Boon was a participant in the pleasant chat being indulged in by the assem bled company. Various subjects were discussed, and among them matrimony was duly ventilated. In the midst of the discussion upon this subject the question was propounded to Silas : "Why don't you got married ?" which was answered by the remark that he could find no ono to have him. One Of the party suggested that a lady then present, the heroine of this sketch, might not object to become "bone of his bone and fleah of hie flesh," if the question was "popped" in duo form and with serious intentions. Nothing loth to try . hor mettle, Silas immediate ly turned to the young lady and asked her whether she would bo willing to accept him "for better or worse," until', death would them part. Without un ' necessary delay, but with a certain do gree of maidenly bashfulness, the an swer Caine that she was willing. Silas suggested that his question had been seriously propounded,, and with due consideration of the consequences, and she replied that her answer was given in the same spirit. A clergymen was summoned Without a second thought upon the matter, and the affair began to assume a more definite shape. At this stage of the proceedure the young lady began to realize the position, and made an effort to gain a short _respite, suggesting among other things that she 4i4 not like to get married on that ,•{.,,,,,.\ 4 v --.)•,' .;,. ;:!:.....,. ..i.„,..,,:ii.--.\..: : ..,..---.. -;:,:;,1_,. -...::•:',.,..- --....

Her friends succeeded however, in overco ming her scruples, and in a ceremony brief but to the point, Mai tha in a short time doffed the name of U—, and assumed that of B—, amid the Congratulations of the assembled wit nesses. The next step in order was the "breaking of the news" to the "old folks at home ," and this duty devolv ing upon Martha, she straightway re paired to the parental mansion and gently informed her mother that she had "went and gone and done it." To say that her maternal progenitor was in "high dudgeon" when she learned of the fate that bad befallen her daugh ter, would be but a feeble expression— she was downright angry, and the newly made bride came in -for a fair share of parental chastisement of the wordy specie. But the thing was did, and no amount of talking would undo it, and the old lady, after a good night's rest, thought better of the matter, and being apparently prepossessed with the appearance of her son in law, who in the meantime, in company with a friend to guide his footsteps in the right direction, had found his way to the parental household, she "simmered down" with the best grace possible, and in due time regaled them with a bountiful wedding feast, wished them a life of unalloyed happiness, and sent them adrift on the sea of matrimony to "paddle their own canoe." 7 --Among the oddities of the myste ry, the one over which we have per sonally wondered much, oedurrad in Philadelphia : • A lady and gentleman who bad been acquainted but one week, and who move in the very first circles, were walking upon the street, the lady showing the lions of the city to the gentleman, who was a stranger in Philadelphia. In the course of their ramble they were stopped by a wed ding party, who were alighting from their carriages at a church door. The lady proposed to go in and 800 the al. fair through. The gentleman consen ted, and together they stood till the ceremony was over. At this instant, the gentleman, taking the lady's hand in his, led her unresistingly to the al tar, without a single word spoken, and presented her to the astonished minis• tor, with the request that they should be made one. In ten minutes the knot was tied, and we have no reason to believe that either have in the ten years they have been joined, soon cause to regret the suddenness of the idea. A MISTAKEN IDEA.-0110 of our co. temporaries most truthfully remarks that a popular idea among our people is that all of their sons should adopt clerkships, as a means of obtaining their livelihood, and every effort is made to give them an education to that end. So far as the education of their children in the science of keep ing proper accounts is concerned the idea is a good one, as every young man should have a sufficient knowl edge to properly manage his own books, should ho over embark in busi ness, but to make book keepers and clerks of all our boys is a grand mis take. Better place them in a work, shop, mill or foundry, where they can learn independent trades, which at all times will secure for them employment, and the pecuniary compensation for which will be at least as much, if not more, than the business of accounts. We earnestly advise all parents to learn their sons trades, no matter whisk, so that it is an industrious pursuit, and let us in the • future ho spared the pain of seeing so many stout, able bodied young men outof employment, and seeking situations where the pen can only bo used. There is dignity in labor, and an honest trade is the•best legacy a parent can bestow upon his child, for it will secure his bread where all else may fail. The Harrisburg Tele giaph bases the above remarks upon the fact than nearly one hundred appli cations from young men wore receiv ed by a firm in Harrisburg, who recent. I,y advertised in the Telegraph but twice for an assistant book keeper. This fact alone, taken in connection with the well known scarcity of labor in the mechanical branches of industry, speaks volumes in condemnation of the popular error of making book keepers out of all our boys. girAn ttinorant preacher, who ram bled-in-his sermons, when requested to stick to his text, replied "that scatter ing shot would hit the most hirds,!'

New that the election Is.over, the winter setting in and the schoolsopen ing, it would not be out of place to say a word about schools. Firstly, then, a school is a good insti tution,and a good institution is a:good thing. But there cannot. be a good school without a good school house, any more than there can be a good house-keeper without a house. A re— al tidy house-keeper can not keep, house in the kitchen, and a good teacher can not keep good school in a bard. A school house ought to be• built on the centre of a lot that might to contain from one acre to ton acres. There should be a paved walk from the street to the door, so that the feet may be well rid of mud and filth before the pu pils arrive at the door. There should . be 'a portico before the door, and that portico should have scrapes, rugs and other, necessary Arrangements, *here fifty pupils .could eleen one hundred feet before entering the school room. There should be sea-grass carpet in the hall, and on the stairway and aisles, so that fifty pupils would not make a-tremendous- clatter with one htindred feet, There should . be a bell on every school house to call , the pu pils together at a certain time, and to ring upon the dismissal of the school. There should be a basement to every schoolroom, where stoves or furnaces could be placed, and whore all the dirt ihcident to building fires could be dispo sed of without detriment to the school room proper.l There should be small closets along the sides of each school room, where shawls, bonnets, hats, caps, &c., could be put away Barely, and there should be soap, water, basin and towel in each one. Each pupil should have a separate desk, well fin ished and varnished, with lock and key, in which the boeks would•ba safe without having to be carried home every other day. - The keys should be left with the teacher so that they would not become mislaid. 'Every school.have a' book case, and a library, so that the teacher could form classes independent of parental aid and inter ference. The windows should raise and lower, so that proper ventilation could be had at all times. TherO should be strong shutters on every window and a good lock upon every door. The janitor's door being in the basement, he should have a key of his own so that he would seldom need to enter and disarrange the school room. There shouldbe maps, globes, charts, 'pictures and attractive furniture in every school room, large and small, in town and country, in order that the place might be attractive. Nov, secondly, what would all these arrangements cost? The reader will be surprised if we say that they will cost but a trifle more than the bare school house. After the lot is pur chased and the house completed, it would not cost each parent much to have all these little et ceetras, which make an attractive home for children. And what parent would not give five dollars to make and furnish a cosy lit tle school house in which theirchildren would be as comfortable as at home ? Surely if there be a place in creation worth improving and adorning, it is a school house and lot, whore from fifty to one hundred children congregat e daily in the pursuit of useful knowledge We have said nothing of planting trees and shrubbery,because,where other in dispensable improvements are made, the teacher and the children would plant and adorn the lot. Compare such a school house with an old, crazy, rickety house, with creaking door, broken floor and win dows, smoking chimneys, bad stove, dusty loft, scringing seats, muddy lot, carpetless rooms, dismal-, walls, &c., and the contrast. becomes at once in teresting, and makes an unanswerable argument in favor of a good house.
