LOVE WITHOUT INO.SENESK.
Not a Dit like n Horel A Cnpltnl
take otTonf lie Modern High Krcs
sure Htylc of Doing: It.
Once upon a time thcro wn a fair young
maiden whose name was Mary, although
tbey called ber Moll for abort. She wasn't a
tall, ilark-eycd maiden, with clear transpa
rent skin, and lips like cbcrncs and cbceka
suffused with blushes. She didn't bave
glossy black hair, sweeping back in wavy
tresses on her queenly brow, and her form
wasn t a bit like llcue s. JNo, there was
none of tbose things on tbo contrary, sbe
was short and thin, and bad red Lair and
freckles, and she also sported snaggle teeth
and wore pads, but still she was a right
nice girl, and there was a young man who
fell in love with ber. and bis name was Bill,
although bis friends called bitn William
when they wautcd to butt bis feelings, for
be tluln't like it much. JJo wasn t line
looking, and bad neither curly hair or a
moustache. ?ot much. Bill laid himself
nut on soap locks and wore a goutce that be
hud dyed twice a week.
JNow this Hill, be was in lovo with Marv.
but did be go and make a deliberate ass of
himself? Did he, I say, go into a grove
with ber, and in the soft moonlight, by tbo
streamlet that murmured sweetly by, and
with the tender zephyrs sighing through
the foliage, fall down on bis knees, seize ber
jeweled hand and breathe bis deep affection
in the tender accents ot tond attachment,
and swear "by yon brigbt orb abovo us,
always to bo thiue?" Did be, I say f You
can just Buy bo didn't. You can lay out
your revenue safely on that. William knew
too much about the price of pants to go
flopping urouud ou the wet grass with bis
good clothes on ; besides, bo never cared
anything about streamlets or any kind of
cold water, except to mix with bis gin.
No, sir ; it wus exceedingly strange, but this
infatuated William met ber at the alley
gate, and be stood right up on bis old legs
and says, "Say, Mol, old gal, s'posc an" we
get hitched ?"
iiut how did .Mary ucliave 7 Did she go to
dropping to sleep over on the bricks in a
dead taint, or did she hide bur gentle Lead
on bis shirt bosom to conceal ber blushes ?
No, sho didn't, and she didn't say, "I am
ever thine, my own love, dear V illiam 1"
Oh, my, no. Sbe looked light in bis vellow
eye and says, "I'm in, Billy ; I'm the gal for
these sort ot things. Uo in ! Aud instcud
of referring him to her father, sbe only said,
"Won't the old man burst right out when
you tell him J 11a! ha!" and .she laughed.
But she didn't ask William to try to molify
her fond father. No, no. She very wicked
ly advised him to "polk tbe old man iu the
nose if be gave him any of bis lip." She
was a funny girl, this Mary.
Now, tho old man wasn't wealthy, for be
sold soap-fat for a living, and so ho didn't
think Bill wus nosing around after bis
stumps ; so when Bill abked him, bo neither
ordered him fiercely away, nor did tbo dewy
moisture gather in bis engle eye as be passed
his hemstitched up there and said : "Bless
you, my children, bliss you 1" Ob, no,
nothing of the sort. Ho just blew his old
red nose on bis badana and told Bill to take
ber along, for be was glad to get rid of her.
and William would be the same way mighty
soon, for she was awful rough on victuals,
and always broke plates wheu she got mad.
So you see, theic really was no necessity for
illiam to come at niidnitrbt $ solemn hour.
in a cab, and throw n rope ladder up to ber
window, and wliiftlu three times on bis fin
gers, and then go up, band over band, and
bring her down, in one hand and her trunk
in the other, and a band box and umbrella
under each arm, and a whole lot of bundles,
and then get in tbe cab and fly to some dis
taut shore. That's tbo way it would have
been a novel ; but Bill said he wasn't on tbe
lay, so bo just went in tbe yard, and out of
pure joy, lie skinned the cat three or tour
times on the grape vine arbor, and then
went and got bis butcher's cart, and drove
Mary right down to the magistrate, to get
tho job done for a quarter for bo said be
was some on tue low price, be was.
But the very queerest thing of all -was,
that Bill had no tall, dark, ruffianly rival,
with a scowling visage aud black whiskers,
who new at bin. with a drawn dagger und
a horse pi&tol iu each band, and a muttered
curse upon bis lips, and cried wildly for
"Kcveuge, 11a 1 ha 1" and said, "Sdeath !"
and "Yillian, thou diest ?" Not any. There
was another fellow ia love with Mollie, to
he sure, but be was a weak-eyed young man,
who had sandy hair, and wore spectacles
and choker collar, and always looked scared
when you uollorcd at bun. So, when be
saw that Bill bad the best of the girl's af
fection, he looked all serene and said, "Go
in. Bill, if you banker for ber ;" and as Bill
waa a trifle on the banker, he sailed right
in.
So William, you see, had no trouble at all
and you couldn t get up
au agonizing
novel about him if you tried. lie uidu't
have any urgent business that called him to
orcigu laud, aud so be had lo bid ber a
fond goodbye, and swear always to be true,
and tbeu go away and forget ber, and full
in love with a dark-eyed Italian girl, picking
grupes in a vineyard, with a square towel
folded on her head, while his forgotten aud
forsaken Mary gradually faded and pined
away, aud battled the physician s skin, ana
crew paler, ana at last, when tue Juue
roses were in bloom, lying gently down to
die. while through the open window floated
in tho balmy odor of tbe jassamine aud
honeysuckle. And William man t come
homo at last, and. filled with deathless re.
morse, go daily to the sweet cemetery ana
strew flowers on her grave, and teach tils
children to lisp ber name. Not at all. Ibat
is the way Mis. E. D. E. N. Southworth
would bave done it. out snc was not arounu
Billy was a butcher who wore a white sbirt
and a ahinv bat. and he staid at homo and
killed beef and told it at a big price, and he
stuck to Mary, and she kept heatthly, and
wasn't much on tbe pine, or tho fade, while
if an v fellow trot to lurking arouuu, wu
liam went riubt out and batted hint on the
eve. He did. '
And then at last when all was ovcr.'Mary
didn't sit in tbe room while tbey dressed

tfueen Victoria's Stables.
A London correspondent recently passed
through the Hoyal Mews the Btables belong
ing to the crown, and ho furnishes us with
a lengthy description of tbo Btud used by
Queen Yictoriu. Tbe Mews aro situated al
tho extreme north-west corner of Bucking
ham Palace Gardens, and viewed externally,
are of tbe modest uppcarance. But once
inside, and you are impressed with tho air
of royalty all nrouud. First, seven horses
are noticed, of tho class culled hacks, which
are used for general purposes. The state
harness room is decribed as a beautiful sight,
"To the left, against the wall, hang ten sets
or sides of red morocco harness, elaborately
ornamcuted with tbo royal arms, crowns,
the rose, shamrock and thistle buckles, and
every other device and excuse for effect ap
pertaining to royalty, being in pure gold
over copper. Above each of these aro sus
pended the bridles, bits, aud other para
phernalia belonging to them. These are ex
clusively appropriated to tho cream colored
horses, and cost COO guineas per set, and
were made for William IV. They are ap
parently as fresh as ever. There are seve
ral plainer state harness, very elegantly aud
beautifully ornamented in exquisite brass
work. The black horse set, used by tbe
Master of the Horse, is also beautiful ; in
deed, the whole room is full of the most in
teresting trappings and housings of ancient
aud modem saddlery, reminding one rather
of the amory in tho Tower." Ia No. 0, are
located the twelve clarence aud brougham,
capital specimens of England's half-bred
and London show horses, 'the town car
riage horses present a Cue appearance. There
are thirty-two of them, maguiticent animals,
bright bays with black legs and flowing
tuaucs and tails, none of them standiug less
than sixteen hands. Tbey nre Yorkshire
bred, and arc selected with great care. The
cream and black Hanoverians, however, at
tract the most attention. Both colors are
said to be very beautiful. "Of the first, the
creams, there are now eleven ; one a three
year old, tbe last taken up shows no falling
off in our stock. Of the sort, they arc all
decidedly matchless; immensely powerful,
Homau nosed, intelligent heads, wonderful
crests, with flowing, wavy manes, and yel
low tinted tails almost touching the ground.
They put you in mind of the ancient and
Classical charger, aud no doubt there is
much to be said aud written on tbe subject
of their itlentity. Rubers gives us some
thing of the sort, nud the Flanders bread
may, perhaps, be the original of these. Tbey
were first introduced into this country by
King George II, and have siuco been kept
up with much care and expense, continuing
the breed in its pure- state by the importa
tion ot marcs. 1 be Hampton Court pad
docks ia where that arereaied, and where
tbey may be seen in their jevenile state. Ouo
of the horses now in the Mews was present
ed to his Majesty, the lately deposed King
of Hanover, but it is in no respect a better
looking animal than the 'home' bred ones.
The above applies equally to the 'blacks,'
ot whicu there aro now only eight in tliu
stables. These are only used by the Master
of the Horse on state occasions aud at royal
funerals ; they are not, however, such ma
jestic, imposing looking animals as the
lighter colored ones." Alter these, tbe
grays, of which there are several pair, Ara-
biau bled, were inspected. English putt ton
horses, thoroughbred riding horses and
ponies of various sorts, complete the royal
stud. Of town and state carriages, there
are ten, most of them elegant, neat, and yet
regal-looking. "With a little extra cere
mony, and a louder beat ot tho urum, we
are at last inttoduccd to tho Mausoleum of
tho great gold coach of all gold coaches ever
dedicated to the pomps and vanities of
kings. It is certainly a curiosity iu its way,
aud ungbty hue, and 1 have uo douut very
well worth seeing as a relic of au age ot
folly and extravagance. It is now exactly
one hundred und five years old, being built
in the reign ot Ueorge 111, but it loons
little the worse for time, none for wear, and
I dare say nearly as fresh as ever; it weighs
upwards of four tons, the wheels are six
feet high, and it has a double perch beneath
the body: this is hung, as it were, on a
swinging principle, which, no doubt, gives
ll great ease, i ne carvings are very ciever,
and in capital preservation; the paintings
on tbe panels are by Ciprani, representiug
the four seasons, and the whole uaubiu cost
seven thousand pouuus. ' lo tue main
building of the stablei an excellently pro
portioned riding school is attached, where
tho princes aud princesses of tho British
throne have been tuught those feats iu
horsemanship, and tho graceful seat, which
has never failed to command bnuration.
The Master of the Horse, who ranks as third
officer of state, has control of tbe entire
establishment. This office has been held by
manv of the proudest nobles in tbe king
dom, among whom may be mentioned tbe
Dukes of JSortolk aud Wellington ana tue
Earl of Jersev. The ureseut incumbent is
that high-minded turfman and popular
SDortsman. the Duke of Beaufort, w ho, it
will be remembered, rcstorea a portion oi
England's prestige by winning the Grand
Prix d Paris for 1800, and then having the
honor of receiving the cup offered for the
encouragement of tho breeding of yrench
horses, fioui the hands of Napoleon himself.
When the young scions of loyalty are in
troduced to such horses as wo find in the
Mews, aud at au early age are taught the
value of blood, is it a matter of surprise
that the. Crown takes so much Interest in
those institutions which promote the breed-
mg of the best trains and preserve the type
- 1 benefit to the English people. A feeling of
to I pride is engendered, aud every inducement
is ottered to keep the blood horses from
degenerating Into nameless mongrels. Uoy

l'ostnrtng Children.
One of tho ordinary events of spring in tho
country is the sending off to pasturage for
the seaeon, droves of young cattlo ; kept in
stalls or cooped up in oozy yards, fed upon
busks and bay through the long winter and
spring, they aro released at last ; and, on
some sweet May morning, aro driven away
in frolicsomo herds ta vhe mountain pastures,
where, feeding upon the tender grasses and
drinking the hill-side water, and roaming
and revelling at will, they remain until the
autumn frosta drive them home for food and
shelter. They go out thin, shaggy and dirty;
they return sleek and plump, and ready
either for the knife of the butcher, or for
domestio service. It is in tho pasture that
the cattle and colts grow. They get muscle
and health by roaming and fetding and
sleeping in the open air.
Now, in one respect, children need to be
regarded aud treated as young animals.
Their particular business is to grow, and
grow healthily nnd soundly. Among the
many obligations which a pnrent owes to
the child he has called into existence, not
the smallest is that of giving him, to the ex
tent of bis ability to do so, a sound and well
developed body. Without this, wealth is ol
little worth, or splendid intellectual gifts, or
fine accomplishments, or excellent education.
Without this, be can be of comparatively
little use to tbo world, aud of little comfort
to himself with it, be can be both useful and
happy. If, therefore, country air and country
exercise and food are essential to the sound
development of the child, ho should have
them, even at the expense of some of those
possessions which parents are so apt to over
rate, and so covetous to secure for their off
spring. Let the children be taken to pasture,
then, as regularly as the calves and colts,
while we tell with some detail what the
process will do for them.
Of tbe benefits of frc6h country air to the
young organism, little needs to bo Baid.
They are very obvious. Pure air is tbe
special pabulum of vitulity. It gives life to
tlie blood, and is sent warm aud red into
every fibre of the body. Impure air poisons
life at tbe fountaiu. Tbo frightful aggregate
of infant mortality in the great cities, shows
how baneful impure air is to delicate young
life. Adult life is less sensitive. It can re
sist wonderfully, the poisons which it iuhalcs
with every breath ; but children sicken and
die at its side by hundreds and thousands
every year. A man and his wife bred in the
country, or even bred in the city, may live
to a good age, nnd enjoy comfortable health
in town, while they are called upon to mouru
tbe mysterious death of every child born to
tiitui, or to watch with ceaseless anxiety
over a puny brood of bitbes that carry into
their adult life the feeblest powers of mind
and body. There is no question that men
and women can live in air that children
must die iu ; or rather, that they die very
slowly in an atmosphere iu which children
die very quickly.
I he next benent that comes to cbildten at
pasture, is free and universal exercise. Dr.
Dio Lewis has contrived, with great ingenui
ty, a scries of exercises which will bring into
action and development every voluntary
muscle of the human orgnnism ; but naturo
is a better counsellor than Dr. Lewis. What
he teaches us to do by study and painstaking
ana labor, irom an intelligent motive, she
impels us to do in the simple search for
amusement, in every playful manifestation
of life. Tho boy left free to play in tbo fields
and woods will, in a single day, run more
miles and exercise healthfully more muscles
than could be matched by tbe "light gym
nastics" of a week. This he docs iu pure
spoil. Uunning, climbing, ruling, swim.
ming, rowing, tossing, batting, jumping,
wrestling, fishing, see-sawing, rolling and
tumbling, day alter day ; there is not a mus
cle in his little body that ho dots not bring
into play, without a motive that urges from
behiud, and solely for the gratification of his
greed for amusement. Nowhere can he get
this free and full exercise except in the
country. It is impossible in a city. A child
that undertakes anything more than a walk
in the street, gets kicked by a passenger, or
run over by a horse ; and back yards are
largely devoted to rubbish and clothes lines.

The "Wonderful Land with Btone Troes Six
Hundred Feet Long
In the Eauteru Sliye newspaper wo find a
report of many of the curiosities aud the
B" ; ricl,e8 l,t "'k ountry', 5.a
southwestern portiou of California. There
ports of the singular feu tores of that sec
tion ate of many years standing, but are so
marvelous that they have seldom obtained
credence. Amor.g the wonderful stories wo
have heard is one of the petrified tree there
seven hundred feet iu length. Tbe present
report in part confirms previous statements,
and establishes the fact that Black Uock is
one of the wonders of the Pacific coast, like
Yosemite, the Big Trees, the Geysers, &c.
Besides tbe curiosities there appears to be
an abundauce of silver at Black Hock, but
the ore is said to be of an unusual variety,
aud very difficult to work ; but it has bteu
worked with very good results at the mills
at Washce. The quantity of ore is so great
that it is said it will justify the erection of
a thousand mills. A gentleman wbu visited
the section has exhibited to the editor of
the EatUrn SUpt very many curiosities pe
culiar to tho country, 'strange petrifactions
from the ravines, curious water-worn peb
bles from tbe mountain tops ; knives, arrow
heads and daggers mauutuctured by Indian
skill irom soiia ntnt, a superior quality, up
parcntly, of ore-block tin. said to contain
six hundred dollars in silver to the ton, peb
ble tin, with its curious fracture, that admits
uo change in form, and a thousand strange
and new things. The editor says : lie al
so tells us of many strange things that he saw
but could not bringwitli him, and many
strauger things he heard of but did not see.
Among tho latter list of wonders is a great
basin that coutaina a octritied forest, appa
rently floated there, many vast trees of solid
stone, ranging from six to fifteen feet in
diameter. Doubtful as this tale may appear,
shall we dare to dispute its correctness when
we know that this strange country has a
boiling spring of fresh water fifteen feet in
diameter, that cannot be sounded, from
which no drop of water ever runs ; that in
tha same vicinitr there is a flowing stream
of cold and apparently good water, the
driuking of which induces venerable dis
eases: and that any water found by digging
is as salt as salt can make it; that a naif
dollar deposited in tbe soil ia eaten tip

ICnlaifjrement of forest County.
The bill enlarging tbe boundry ef Forest
county passed by the Legislature, has been
signed by the Governor since tho election.
Tho Itfnublicnn says the Commissioners
named in the bill, J. A. Leach, of Mercer
county; Jaoob Ziegler, of Batlcr; and C.
Fulkerson, of Venango county, have had
several muctiugs in reference to locating tbe
lino which is to cut off a portion of the ter
ritory of this county. The original hill
contemplated taking what is known as the
"Tionesta region" from Yeoango county and
attaching it to Forrest. This embraced the
townships of Kingslcy, Harmony, Hickory
Tionesta and Tionesta Borough. The citi
zens of the Venango "regiou," excepting
those in Harmony township, favored the
bill, and tho remainder of the Venango citi
zens were willing to part with them if they
were willing to go. Subsequently, however,
a supplement to the bill was passed which
gave the commissioners a sort of "roving
commission" to dip into Venango county
nd libitum. Under this supplement an ef
fort is making to embrace a slice of
Allegheny township, and to this its citizens
object, as do tho people generally.
A meeting of those opposed to the action
of the Commissioners under this sup
plement is to be held in a few days. They
threaten to join the citizens of Forest
county in contesting the constitutionality of
the bill in the Supreme Court. The citizens
of Tionesta borough urge the Commission
ers to include a portion of Allegheny. As
the Commissioners have power to re-locate
the county seat of Forest county, Tionesta
looms up as the prospective capital. As a
consequence, corner lots in that striving
village aro looking up. Lively times ara
expected iu the courts before this enlarge
ment of Forest county becomes a "fixed
fact." Tit untitle Herald.
Popping the Question. A party of
ladies and gentlemen were laughing over the
supposed awkwardness attending a declara
tion of love, when a gentleman remarked
that if ever he tillered himself he would do
it in a collected and business-like manner.
"For instance," he continued, addressing a
lady present, "Miss Smith, I havo been two
years looking for a wife. I am in receipt of
about three hundred a year, which ia on tbe
increase. Of all the ladies of my acquain
tance, 1 admire you the most; indeed, I lovo
you, and would gladly make you my wife."
"You flatter me by your preference," good
humoredly replied Miss Smith, to the sur
prise of all present; "I refer you to my
lather." "Bravo!" exclaimed the gentlemau.
" V ell, l declare, said the ladies, in a chorus.
The lady and gentlemau, good reader, were
