BY 8. It. OF ALABAMA. ONE day Sandy Hugging came into my office and sat down without a word. For some minutes he sat still watching mo intently ns if trying to make out by the Round of my pen what I was writing. " Squire," ho suid at longth, " did I ever toll you about my scrape with the widow Horry up here on tho river ?" " Never did," said I, laying down my pen, " let's have it." " They're curious creatures, widows is," said he in a meditative tone, " and tho moie you study about 'em the more you don't know anything about 'cm. What was this thing I've read about in Egypt, or some other country, that nobody could unriddlo ?" "The Sphynx, probably," I replied. "Well," he continued, "that was a widow as sure as you ever had a granny. Everything else in the earth has been found out but them, and they're as much mystery to-day as the longth of tho North Polo. You may read tho history of tho world from Genesis to Revelations, and you'll find that widows have been the bottom or top of five quarters of all the devilment that has been cut up. Was you ever in love with one ?'' " Lots of thorn," said I. " You're a great gander that's what you are," said ho. " A man that loves ono and gits over it won't never get bit by another, it he s got as much sense as a ground hog. I don't consider that I've got any sense at all, but I'm a little too smart to let unothcr of them tret all the trumps on me. Tho widow Horry that I was speaking of, is u little the. handsom est woman, I reckon, that ever looked a man into fits, and I ought to bo a judge, for I've seen lots of pretty women in my day. She was about twenty-Dve 1 years old when I went up there to work, just in the bloom of her beauty, aud as lull of deviltry as a three year old mulo colt. Thcro was a ball over ut Jonkitis," and of courso I went, for . I always go where there s any fun going on, and generally act the fool before I get away. Of eourse the widow was there, dressed as fine as Solomon s lilacs, and flying around as friskly as a young lamb in a rye patoh. I got introduced to her and asked her to dunce with me, and when she flashed her eyes at mo and said " yes," I jumped up like I had set down on a hot griddle. You may talk about sensation, but when she took hold of my hand and I sorter squeezed it, I felt a sensation as big as a load of wood and it kept running up and down my buck like a squirrel with a hawk af'ler him. I'm very fond of dan cing, but I'll be hanged it" I know wheth er i enjoyed it that night or not, for ev ery time she took hold of my . hand I'd commence feeling curious behind my cars and up and down my buck again, and then I would't know whether I was on earth or in a balloon, or on a comet, any thing about it. It was . undoubtedly a case of love at first sight, and a powerful bad case at that. For it was a wonder I got through the frolic without making con spicuous or cutting up uuy extras, as 1 m in the habit ot doing when 1 go into pub lic. I'd set my pegs to ko home with the widow after the ball, but just as I was fixing my mouth to ask hor, up steps a big. long, leather-faced doctor, named Mubry, and walked her right oil before my eyes. That riled me some, but I kept my tongue still; inwardly swearing to break his bones the very first opportu nity that presented itself. I saw there was no use in saying anything, so I went homo and went to bed, and all the' rest of the night I was dreaming about rain bows, angels, butterflies, fiddles, widows and doctors, mixed up worso than a dutehuiuu's boiled dinner. ' " Well, squire, to nnike a short story of it, I msido up my mind to have ' tho wid ow, or kill myself or somebody else." " So 1 made it convenient to be on hand where she was, upon all occasions.' I couldn't cut nor sleep nor work, and if the thing had kept on, I ' woulun t have had sense enough left to skin a rabbit. But I was determined it shouldn't lust long, for I'd been fooled so often by women that I thought I - wouldn't give her time to thiuk of anything but roe. She appeared to take to me right sharply, und the doctor seemed inclined to mix in with me, tut i uidn t consider Into no more than a brush fence, for I wus so far gone I thought she could see . nobody On earth but me. Well, Squire, things went on so for about a mouth, and one Sunday I screwed up my spunk and put the ques tion to her. She sorter laughed and sor ter looked one-sided, and finally' told me she couldn't give mean answer just thon, but itld rail ut her hou.se next Thurs day evening, she'd give me a final an swer. Thinks I, you're mine just as sure as there's a fiddle to a bow. Whenever a wi man takes time tobtudy she'll say yes. Squire, don t tho poets say something about the calculation of nioti and rats going crooked ?" ' " " Mice and men, Burns fays," I on twered. ' Well, mice and rats is all one, und so is men aud fools sometimes, as I lave found out in my travels, ' I was so ture fhe would huvo me that I went off und i-pent all my money f ir fine clothes, thinking I would have them ready for the wedding and I did I Confound that widow, I say 1 Confound all the widows! Thursday evening came at last,' al though it was a Ion" time about it, nni over I went, dressed into fits, and feeling as big as Josh Raymor did when he was eleoted coroner. I got there about dark, and found a right smart crowd Collected, which was not on the bills, but I felt as big and as good as the rest of thorn. So I marched in like a blind mule into a po tato patch, and took a seat by the fire. -1 didn t see anything of the widow, but I looked for her to como in and send for me, and passed away the time by cussiu' tho crowd to myself, thinking they had no business there, and I would not get . to talk to my woman a bit. Presently the door opeued and in walked Polly and that dod-durned doctor, and a whole team of boys and girls fixed up savagely I tell you. I looked around fur a fiddler, think ing they wcro going to have a ball, but I wondered what they all kept so still for and was about proposin' a reel, when up gits a little preacher, : and before you could swallow a live oyster, ho had Polly and tho doctor married faster than a Mex ican greaser could tie a bull's horn. I was bo completely flummixed that I set there with my mouth open like I was goin' to swallow the wholo crowd, and my eyes looked like billiard balls till tho ceremony was over, when I jumped up and bellowed. ' I forbid the concern from being con stituted 1" " You are a little too late, my friend,'. says the prcachor, and they all com menced laughing like they had seen some thing funny. " I'll bo darned suuizzeled if I don t bo soon enough for somebody yet," said I " for I was mad, Squire, and no mistake lu the ticket. I do believe I could have out up that doctor quicker than a hungry dog could swallow a squirrel skin if 1 could havo had a fair chance at him. It was too bad, after I had fixed up to marry her myself, for her to walk right under my eyes aud marry that great baboon." " It was bad, that is a fact." I said. " Bad !" criod ho, " it was meaner than eating fried ooon. I first thought I'd go straight home, but then I concluded that wouldn't spite nobody, so I determined to stay and see if I could not get satisfaction out of somebody. You know I'm a devil to get myself or somebody else in a scrape when I take a notion, aud I'd taken one that night that went all over ' mo : liko a third day chill, so I commenced a study'n out somo plan. I recollected hearing tho doctor say that where he come from (but the Lord ouly knows where that wus) the brido and groom always washed their faces together before they went to bed us a charm against infidelity, or somo other long word. .While. I was study'n about that, I spied the doctor's saddle bags setting in tho corner so I waited till they went into the supper, and thon I got the bugs und looked to sco what I could discover. Nearly tho first' .thing I saw wus u piece of lunar caustic. I slipped it into my pocket, tor 1 hud my plan as 1 saw it. Well, I watched around till I saw one of the girls go to the pail with the pitcher, so I went , out and asked her what she wus going to do with it. She suid she was going carry it into the room for the Doctor and Polly'' to wash their faces in. I ' kept talking to her whilo she was filling the pitcher,, and when she turned her head 1 dropped the caustio into it. It was theu about bed time and I got my hat and put out, but I couldn't help laughing all the way home whenever I'd thiuk about next morning. " Well, 'Squiro, they do say that when that couple waked up next morning they had the hardest kind ot tits, .each one thinking that each other was a nigger. Oh, it wus rich I Ho a cussiu' and tearin' up things, und she a scrcamin' and faint in' und oomin' and goin' off again,' and me not there to see it. They made such rascally racket that the folks broke into the room to see whut wus tho matter, and thcro they was with their faces and huods all us black as the inside of an old stove pipe. I'd give half my interest in t'other world just to have been ut some place where 1 eould have seen the wholo row, As soon as they found out that they wus really the same folks that married the night before, they called for warm water and soap, but here tho doctor happened to think ubout tho pitcher, und took it to the door to see what was the matter. There wus a little piece of cuustic that hud not disolved, and as soon us he suw it, he buys : . , " It's no use washing, Polly. All the soap in New York city can't wash that black off." That was the truth, 'Squire. Soap and water had no more effect thuu it would on a native born African, und all tho chanco wus to wait and let it weur off. How long it took them to get white uguin I never found out, but one thing I do know," ho concluded, getting up to go out, " the next time I saw the doctor I hud the haidest fight, and come the nigh est getting wliuled that ever 1 did in my born duys I t& Unprotected femule (nwuking old gent, who is not very well)" O, Mister, would you Und tho captain r in sure we're in danger. I've been watching the man st the wheel i he keopa turuiug . it round first one way and then : the other and evidently .. doesu t.. know urn own mind." 1 Van tod Information. Ouce at a " commencement ball," giv en by the members of the senior class of Dartmouth, two of the class made their appearance so intoxicated that it became necessary for the floor managers to insist upon their retiring from the room. One of them knew enough to get out and go home. The other, John Buck, after reeling about for somo time, found him self in the ladies' dressing room, where he attempted to lie down on a sofa, but fell flut ou the floor, where ho lay too much discouraged to get up or care whero he was. Soon after he rolled under the sofa, and immediately was fust asleep. However, he was not destined to rest in peace, for, shortly aftor,' ho was awakened by the entrance of two young Indies, engoged in earnest conversation who sut down on the sofa under which our friend was lying. After talking a a little whilo on various subjects, one said to tho other: " Did you hear any one say anything about me 7" ' Yes, I heard qui to a number say that you were the best dancer in the hall. But did you hear any ono say anything about me?" " Yes, they all said you were tho pret tiest young ludy here to-night." Now,-John was awakened by this earnest conversation and began to share the interest felt by tho young ladies. Poking out his head from between their feet, he thus delivered himself: " D-d-did you h-h-hcar (hie) anybody s-s-8ay anything b-b-bout mo ?" . Ins shrieks of theufinghtod damsels was their only response, us they fled in disomy to tho bull room, und John's question remained unanswered. Curiosities of Memory John Kcmble used to say that he could learn a whole number of tho Murulivi Post in four days: and Osncr- al Christie made a similar assertion ; but it is not knowu how fur either of them verified this statement. Robert Dillon could repeat in tho morning six columns of a newspaper he had read over night. During the llepeal debates in tho House of Commons thirty-seven years ago, one of the members wrote out his speech, sent it to the newspapers, and repeated it to tho House in the evening; it was found to be tho sumo verbatim as that which ho had written out. John Fuller, a land agent in Norfolk, could remember every word of a sermon, and wnto it out correctly after going home; this was tested by comparing his written account with the clorgyman's manuscript. Sealiger could repeat a hundred verses or more alter having read them a , single time. Seneca oould repeat two thousand words on hearing them once. Ma;;li;ib- ecchi, who had a prodigious memory, (ho must have hud to remember his name,) was once put to a severe test. A geutlu man lent him a manuscript, which wus read und returned. The owner sometime afterwards, pretending he hud lost it, begged Magliabcecht to write out as much as ho could remember ; whereupon the latter BDDeulini: to his mcmorv. wrote out the wholo essay. Cyrus, if some of the old historians are to bo credited, could remember tho nutiio of every sol dier in his immenso army. Ancient Dentistry. ' Among the ancients great success was obtained in this art. Cusselius was a den tist in the reign of the Roman triumvirs, and gold was used in tho filling. But nearly 500 B. C, gold was thus used, and gold wire was employed ' to hold nrti ficiul teeth in position, and it does not seem then to have been a new art. A fragment of the tenth of tho Roman ta bles, 450 B. C, has reference to prevent ing ihe burial of any gold with the dead except that hound around tho teeth Herodotus declares that the Egyptians bud knowledge ot the discuses ot . teeth und their treutmeut 2,000 B. C. In Mar tial Cusselius is mcutioucd us either fill ing or extracting teeth, but ho specified thut he would not polish fulse teeth with powder. These facts cover a period of 0000 years. Btyj-Mrs. Jossylia is a washerwoman and works very hard for her living. In the palmy duys ot Harry Meiggs she de posited with him no less an amount than $2,500, and when Meiggs and her money were gone, tho time in which n woman could lay up so lurge a sum from the profit of her business was gono also. Some two or three months a'0 she read in some publication that her old banker had made money in South America by building railroads, and with a beautiful faith in the human nature, she embarked upon tho Punama Steamer and wondod her woy to tho tho South, whero Meiggs now holds sway, blie sought the mil lionairo in his gorgeous icsidencc, and preseutcd her bank book and told her tulo. Meiggs listened and when die had finish ed, he hundod her a check for tho amount of the deposit and interest from its dute to tho time of payment. She de parted a wealthier und a happier wo man.

A Geographical Puzzle. Below w givo the puzzle of lost week, with tho correct geographical , uames addod s A man whose namo was a mountain In Scotland (Ben Nevis), learned to be a moun tain In Washington, (Bakor). II lived In a house made of a county in Kansas (Clay), and a river In Illinois, (Stone). His only pet was a river in Nebraska, (Elk). On day after taking a town In Virginia, (Bath), bt went out to buy his week's supplies. He bought a country In Europe, (Turkey), some plural of a rlvor In New Englaud, (Onion), a river In Minnesota, (Kettle), a creek in Illinois, (Salt), a county In Alabama, (Coffee), and a river in Great Britain, (Robe.) Having made his purchases, ho started for home, but the river In Great Britain became oppressive, but he did not care, as bo heard thunder in tho distance, and present ly the rain fell In torrents. His river in Great Britain became drenched, but ho was con soled by the thought that It would remove the mountain In North America (Snow). When ho got homo, he made his supper of some plural of a bay in Florida, (Oyster), a lake In Utah (Fish), a river In Montana, (Milk), and a town in Michigan, (Cold Water). Then he placed an Island from the Atlantic, (Block), and a mountain from Georgia, (Stoue), against tho door and went to bed. , . Enigma. I am composed of 10 letters.

JfcajrThero is a current fallacy which is responsible for much of tho fover and nguo that prevails iu this country. It is tho belief that tho eurly morning, air is peculiarly wholesome.

To warm bed, when the system is and expose ouo's self to chilly air unfortified by food or drink, ply to invite disease leave a relaxed morning is sim- Queer Scruples. In taking the late census of England the officers met some curious instances of eccentricity. One obstinate lauded pro prietor vowed that he would rather sac rifice his life than be a party to an act for which David was punished. Another man, with religious scruples, refused to make out a census paper on the ground that he could not do so without perjuring himself. He did not of his own knowl edge know his own namo, nor the place whero no was horn. tSf An exchange tells us " it is an old superstition that, at her bridal, a lady should always wear some article borrowed lroui a friend, for the occasion, to b.inc good luck." It is curious, but it is nev ertheless truo, that the same superstition prevails here. It was only last week, that a young man tried to borrow some thing, of. a frieud to take to tha bridul ceremony. We believe it was a ten dol lar bill he wanted. A Reverend gontlonian was ad dressing a school coucert recently,.' aud was tryiug to enforce the idea that tha hearts of the little ones wero sinful, and needed regulations.
