For sale at this Oflfiu
The Farmer's Daughter.
Her checks are ot a fairer red,
Though tinged with deeper brown,
Than you will find in any maid,
Who lives in any town.
Her hair hangs loose above her brow
In many a winding curl.
Like leaves on a summer bough ;
Oh charming country girl !
One charm she has all passing fair
Unknown in city streets;
Her beauty is less known to her,
Than unto those she meets.
She does not live on flattery's breath,
She bears but little praise;
Her goodness is not ''done to death,"
In twenty thousand ways.
Your city maidens, who but live
In fashion's idle whirl,
For fifty such, Sense would not give
That honest farmer's girl.
Praying for a Husband.
A correspondent of the Rochelle, 111.,
Register locates the following near that
place' Though the story is considerably
older thau the correspondent, it is yet
worth reading.
A young lady heard that if she would
gooutandpray for three consecutive nights
the Lord would tell her whom whe would
marry. Now it happened that her father
had a young man in his employ who had
considerable wit and good humor about
him. One evening he was out in an ap
ple tree after fruit, when he heard some
one praying something like this : "Oh
Lork, whom will I marry ?" The idea
popped into the mind of I)oylc (that be
ing the young man's name) that he would
have a little sport at her expense. So he
spoke in a changed voice and said
"Doyle." "No, Lord, not Doyle," cried
the astonished young lay. "Yes. Doyle
or no one," again sounded from the tree
top in a sober, hollow voice. She arose
and entered the house, resolved to try
again on the next evening. Of course
Doyle did not wish to spoil the fun, and
so on the next evening found him seated
in the tree top. lie did not have to wait
long before the young hnsbaud seeker,
came and commenced praying in the same
way that she did on the preceding even
ing, and received the same answer. The
next evening afso found her under the
tree pleading to know her future hus
band s name, and again she heard the
same answer, "Doyle or no one." She
arose feeling satisfied that she must mar
ry Doyle. The next morning she met
him and asked him why he did not put
on better clothes, lie said that he was
not able. "Well," said she, "father is
rich, aud he will let you have money." :
He took that for a pretty good hint, and
bought a suit of new clothes. In a short
time he offered his heart and hand, and
was accepted. After their marriage he
told her how her prayers were answered.
If any of the fair readers of this story
should think of praying for a husband,
do not get under a tree, or if you do, be
sure to examine it closely and see if there
be any one to answer.
Little Things.
The prcciousness of little things was
never more beautifully expressed than in
the following morceau by IJ. F. Taylor ;
Little martin boxes of homes are gen
erally the most happy and cozy ; little vil
lages are nearer to beiug atoms of shat
tered paradise than anything we know of;
and little fortunes bring the most con
tent, and Utile hopes the least disappoint
ments. Little words are the sweetest to hear;
little charities fly farthest and stay long
est on the wing; little lakes are the still
est, and little farms the best tilled. Lit
tle books arc the most read, still songs
the most loved. And when nature would
make anything especially rare and beauti
ful; she makes it little little pearls, lit
tle diamouds, little dews.
Everybody calls that little that they
love best. We once heard a good sott of
a man speak of his wife, and we fancied
that she must be a perfect bijou of a wife.
We saw her, and she weighed 210 ; we
were suprised. Rut then it was no joke;
the man meant it. He could put his
wife in his heart and have room for other
things beside ;
and what was she but lit-
tie ?
Mult urn, in I'arvo. much in little
is the great beauty of all wc love best,
hope for iiiost and remember the longest.
Got Swotted.
The following colloquy took placo be
tween an enthusiastic admirer and player
of the game of ball, aud a gent whose re
gard for his personal comfort led him to
eschew such ufuly sports, as he termed
them : .
"What is the matter with your finger?"
"Struck with a ball and drove up," was
the reply; "Lut it is a noble game."
Precisely and your thumb ; it ii use
less, is it not V i
"Yes, struck with a ball and brckeu."
"That finger joint?"
"A ball struck it. No better game to
improve a man's physical couditiou
strengthen ouc's Binews."
"You walk lame ; that foot, isn't it ?"
"No; it's the the well a bat flew
out of a player's hand and hit my kuee
pan. He had the iuuings."
"One of your front teeth is gone V
"Knocked out by a ball ; anaccident."
"Your right baud aud your nose havo
been peeled bow's that?"
"Slipped down at second-base only a
mere scrach." I
"And you like alf this kind of fun ?" j
"Glory in it, sir. It's a healthy game ,
eir." i
Excitement in a Circus.
"We have laughed heartily over the fol
lowing ludicrous story and would not de
prive our readers of the same enjoyment :
A number of years ago, when Michi
gan was a new country, there lived a fami
ty by the name Clayton, and one called
Perkins also, as well as a great many
tohcrs.
Pete Clayton was a tall, fine looking
fellow a noble specimen of our back
woodsmen standing, six feet two inches
in his stockings.
Pete had taken a shine to Miss Sally
Perkins, and it was known io'fact that
they were engaged, but the day when the
knot was to be tied had notis yet been
divulged.
In the month of August, 1849, June's
circus came through their town for the
first time, and in fact it was the first cir
cus that had ever passed that wav and
there were a great many people that hud
never seen one. When the important
day arrived, the town was filled to over
flow with a motley crowd, of course, and
every young fellow had his gal. Now,
Pete wanted to get married on the com
ing Christmas, but Sally wished to have
it put off till the next spring. When
the ticket wagon was opened the tent wa3
filled in a hurry. Pete and Sally had
been looking through the side shows and
they were late in getting in, and the per
formace had already commenced.. They
walked around the entire ring, trying to
find a seat, and although they could seat
two thousand people, every scat was full.
"Never mind," said Sal, "I'd just as
lief stand up."
Rut the gallant Pete couldn't think of
it, and said, "waitamia't I'll get a chair,"
and off hestartcd leaving Sal alone. .
Just at this moment the clown came
in, dressed in his usual custom, and dauc
ing arond the ring, stopped right in front
of Sal and began to sing :
"Oh Sally is the gal for me."
ThiscausedSal toblush, for she thought,
that the clown was looking at her. As
she stood near the ring, of course she hid
the view of those oo the lower seats be
hind her, and as usual on such occasious,
the clown cracked his jokes at the offen
ders until they take the hint and find a
seat, but she said she would rather stand
up. At this the clown commenced his
jokes, remarking to the ring master :
"There s a chance for me now."
"A chance for you ?"
"Yes, don't you sco that gal has lost
her beau, and she is looking at me, I
know," and turning three or fouromer
saults, he stopped in front of Sal, and be
gan to sing :
"Oh Sally is the gal for me,
I would have no other,
And if Sal died to-morrow night,
I'd marry Sally's mother."
This was evidently meant for her, rais
ed Sal's dander, and she burst out with
"I'm the gal for you, am 1 1 Marry
my mother, would yer ? You low-live
spotted scum of the earth. If my feller
was here he would wallop you for that.
I wouldn't stay here another minit nor
neither would any decent people either."
Saying which she rushed out of the tent
amid roars of laughter.
The clown assuming a comical attitude,
remarked to the ring master that his
grandfather, was a remarkable man, and
so was his grandmother, too, but that gal
beat all his forefathers.
At this juncture Pete rushed in, close
ly followed by Sal, and jumping into the
ring he squared off at the clown and said:
"I'll teach you to insult any female un
der my charge," and let fly at his oppo
nent, and taking him plump in tho face,
sent him to mother earth, at which he
jumped on him and commenced kickiug
him unmercifully : oal standing on the
outside of the ring clapping her hands and
sung out :
"That's it Pete, give him jessie,
we'll git married Christmas sure."
At this moment the ringmaster
three or four others caught Peto
and
and
and.
commenced to thrash him, when Pete's
friends interfered aud a general fight en
sued, which completely broke up the cir
cus. A funny case came before a justice ia
Milwaukee thc other day. A young wo
man who had accepted the attentions and
civilities of a gentleman for some time, at
length was :n..iried to somebody else,
whereupon thj deceived individual sued
for a bill of $204 25, the amount he had
paid in her behalf in taking her to con
certs, operas, picnics, rides aud ice cream
saloons. As an offset he credited her
with sundry kisses valued at $1G.G7J;
several squeezes of thc hand, $3.37 J ; an
unreturued photograph aud a ring, mak
ing, in all, a total of $37.75. He recov
ered the bill, the judge allowing tho plain
tiff thc kisses at his own valuation.
The Tuh out (Pa) Journal tells of a
story of a dying man at whoso request a
dauco was held the night previous to his
decease, in tho building which ha occu
pied, for thc purpose of raising funds to
pay for a " deeeut fuueral." Tho receipts
were $5G. Glory bo to God !" said tho
dying man, u now I'll have n decent bury
iug, and the children can tula iu u hack."
A New Orleans newspaper has infor
mation that Presidaut Johnson, Mashall
O. Roberts and Santa Anna havo formed
