A Chapter cn Courting. OY 31119. 11. 31. LINCOLN Some time since a request . came to me that I would write an article on courtship. for the Murat. Though the author of this request is a stranger to me, I send a few thoughts.— Should I deal plainly with my subject, be as sured it is truthfully so : and while referring to only two or three classes to be met with, those inclined to criticise will remember there are happy exceptions, of which but little need be said. "In no intercourse between the sexes is there rnetised an much hypocridy es in the comply- ionship of those who entertain a view to mar riago.'• Whoever has studied closely, or even casually, could not fail td discover this ; and while only observation has made it evident in some instances, experience has confirmed it in many. Anna Dickinson insists that most girls are trained for just one thing—to get married. It is talked of in the nursery, the parlor, the school-room—indeed, everywhere, until at last the young lady thinks of nothing more than this. Consequently, should the gentleman paying his regards be called a "desirable match," every thought, word and action is suit ed to this end—securing a husband. Young ladies seldom appear themselves in gentlemen's company; hence ,they appear to disadvantage. The charming simplicity of home life is laid aside ; the first sentence you hear them utter confirms this. It is what peo ple call politely spoken—so politely, indeed, as hardly to be understood. Let Ahem just step into the kitchen and give orders for tea to their weary mother. Would you recognize the voice as belonging to her who, only a moment ago,l spoke so softly and sweetly to you? To be sure, this companionship of lovers calls forth the sunniest, sweetest traits of character ; then why need simplicity be thrown aside? Why need the' young lady be so generous and gentle, so noble and forbearing, and yet, out of your presence, be so selfish and exacting? Why study your taste and torture herself to suit it? Why read your favorite books, and yet detest them ? Why admire what you admire so de votedly ; why idolize your pets, and yet secretly abuse them ? Why never from the beginning, to the end of courtship, appear her simple Belt/ No wonder the lover expetiences pleasures in contemplating this, to him, most perfect id women so "nobly planned," to whoni he offers the wealth of his noble heart. She comes to him fresh and fair, neatly and charmingly at tired, and ho pictures a home, 0, so pleasant, so perfect ; but, ah me, did he ever catch a glimpse of her room ? Does she frequently mention economy as a virtue she practises, and yet neariy distract her father by her extrava gance? Does she insist that mother will kill herself with care and devotion to her family, and yet never, no never, seek to lighten her burden, or relieve her of care, in so much as attending to her own wardrobe? Is not her constancy and devotion to you charming ; but is she not just as devoted to, others in your ab sence? Many a noble youbg man has' been the victim of such deception, and wed, as he thought, one with whom he was thoroughly acquainted, and found, indeed, a stranger.— Happy for them it might have been, had not the heart of such an one partaken largely of the general tendency among ladies at the pres ent time—nan4y,-to be in dress, manners and appearance;_rndre false than true. Gentlemen, though not trained so exclusive ly this idea of getting married, are nevertheless just as deceptive. They seek to hide every fault. They cloak their sins with greater cau tion than ladies, yet are not so hypocritical generally—at least so' they all declare ; but I confess I think it is their conceited opinion of themselves. How many can approach a lady and not use cloves, cardamon seed, etc., to drive away the alcoholic perfume of their breath ? The lingering odors of - rum, gin, brandy, etc., are certainly poor recommenda tions for any gentleman. This may be the first step in the way 'of his deception ; and 0, how many" successive ones, are taken ere the trusting, truthful heart is won They denounce drinking, smoking and chewing ; gambling and everything pertaining to it they assure the lady is too debasing for decent men to engage in ; they admire only pure and elevated pur suits ; they design to live always strictly moral and virtuous ; to be, all their Fanny can de sire. Doubtless with many all these are truth fully uttered ; but where is the determination to carry them out ? Again,. they are gentle and courteous.— Nothing irritates them ; not even when others exclaim "How provoking !" are they disturbed. And such things as oaths, why, they are as far from their thoughts as—heaven ! So attentive they are ; they bring ,such beautiful books, such splendid novels, such loves of pictures— and no. wonder the fair lady is in ecatacy over this most perfect of men. but could she fol low this her ideal as he joins his companions —hear him pronounce her name with an oath —see him drink glass after glass of brandy— stake sum after sum at the gaming table—or, farther even, watch him as he enters yonder house of infamy, where, think you, her ideal would be ? Deception—if you find it not in such a class as this, where would you find it ? Victims there are, however, who sacrifice all at such shrines. The pure and innocent and trusting are sought by the representatives of deception—not those deserving of such a future as awaits them. • Ono might go on enumerating tbo various ways in which the true diameter of.lovers is marked, but it would occupy too much space. If "the heart is deceittlil above all ,things, and desperately wicked," until changed by the Holy 'Spirit, can we look for unblemished truth in those untaught by Christ ? Since courtship is designed to bring into close and intimate companionship those who wed, should not every hindrance to thorough acquaintance be put aside ? We look for pleasing courtesies and nameless attentions be tween lovers ; and who could object were they continued after a brief honeymoon ? If the husband were still 'courteous and attentive— still careful not to do things he would have scorned once to do—still denounced in practice and principle what ho once professed to de spise--still remembered one-half the delicate courtesies he once proffered ; if the 'wife still retained her gentleness—still studied 'her hus .band's tastes and preferences, and made her self the same agreeable companion as Of yore —still dressed neatly and carefully in fact, if she tried one-half as hard to 'please this, 'her husband, now, as when a lover, things would'ui more smoothly. Such is the strict intimacy of married life,' that deception is impoisible. The mask.so long worn, iuno'eently perhaps 2 must, be reinov- • ed, and the' true character' discovefed. How' useless, then, the brief, hasty, artificial method of courtship. It i.s_tylken.all the pleasing.'nt; tendons, all the nameless nothings (and yet ,so great we can't define, them) are laid aside- 7 when all the unfavorable points of eharacter, are 'discovered—that the foundation of unliap :. piness is being laid. With all the frankness hearts can offer, a long term of courtship will discover little enough of what there is to be learned ; and if, then, haying lived without seeing each other only in the "smooth walks, peaceful bowers and quiet sttics" of courtship,' and even then artificially, (though the judg ment may have suggested unfitness and Uncon geniality for each other,) how will the trials of domestic life be met ? Better, far better to heed the faithful voice of judgment before it is too late to escape the evils of ill-suited com panionship. Those who have assumed least as lovers, find their domestic life more nearly what they fancied it would be 3 not free from perplexities and stern realities, to he sure, but free from the sad reflections occasioned by concealing from each other their real character.—Rul al New Yorker. An Eloquent Appeal Just beton) tho adjournment of Congret.s, Judge Sheilabmger, of Ohio, called up his bill for the protection of American citizens in afl the Suva. The bill was postpcned until December. Judge Shellabarger made a lengthy speech, showing the necessity-and constitutionality of the measure, and con cluded as follows " Since the period of modern eivilization I know of no nation which has presented such a spectacle as our own. I know of no other in whose dominions was embraced an area large as half its territories, which had become to near half Its own citizens a terra incoynita. In our country there came to be a land whervits own children could not go and live. In that land, for a quarter of a century, could not be safely uttered that sublimest aphorism- of our own national faith, and the very ono with which we had propitiated the ear of Heaven in our invo-, caticos for national life—"that all men' were created equal." It is a land made by. Heaven, rich and beautiful as the vale of Cashrm re ; but a land whose moral ter rors had become as deadly as the fabled horrors of that land of the Britons, where the ground was covered with serpents, the air such that none could breathe it and live, whi.her fishermen ferried goblins at mid night, where the speech of the dead was constantly hoard by the mariners. It was a land where tho •purest precepts of Wil berforce and of Washington could not gen eralty be uttered with safety to life; and where that lust, best petition sent by Frank lin to the American Congress could be whispered neither by men nor by children, neither in the ear of the nation nor of God —a land where the experiences of the citi zen , who would avow,' or who would not discard, the beat precepts of his own nation al faith and rolip,ion, can, without exagge ration, bo told in that strangely, sublime recital of the sufferings of the good men of other ages, ''who suffered tortures, cruel mockings and soourgings, bonds and im prisonments; wh) were stoned, sawn aim°. der, slain with the sword; who wandered in deserts, in mountains, in dens and caves of the earth, being destitute, afflicted, and tormented." And now, Mr. Speaker, since the people have poured out an offering of blood, such as liberty never bad before upon her altars, to the end that the people might bo freie, and safe throughout the country, the heart of the nation is, again already sinking and• sickening at the reappearance of that same reign of violence and terror which so cursed the land before. The sad and unwelcome fact is again being forced upon the atten tion of the nation that its own truly loyal: citizens cannot safely dwell cr even go:into all parts of their own country. It is be coming more manifest each day that the" higher the evidences 'Of the citizen's loyal ty, and the greater his sacrifices of blood made for his country, the less secure these citizens are now in attempting to abide or even to go into vast portions of the country which their own blood has just delivered. In this hall where I speak, and within a few days of the limo I speak, ono who was once a member of this House, and later a Provisional Governor of his btate. (A. J. Hamilton, of Texas,) and whose deserved eminence is from his unconquerable loyal ty, startled you and the country by the an nounemont that treason had prohibited his abode in the State of which he is the high est honor. Another sad prrof, of the re sumption of the reign of terror and of trea son has just b 'en taken at Memphis, under the order of this House. Its horrid enor- mities, in the massacre of a defenceless people, in the exposure and mutilation of their dead bodies, in the burning of their homes, schools and churches, makes one ct the darkest pages in the annals of barbar ism• Sir, in every country, and in every age, the grave of a nation's soldiery has been tho nations shrine—a shrine whither sci ence, and art, an I song have ever repaired as rivals, emulous to bestow their choicest treasures— a shrine whore grat:tudo and re ligion have sat together, watching as sleep less vestals forever—a shrine where -Honor comes, a pilgrim gray, To deck the sod that: wrape their clay. But, Mr. Speaker, already to-day, when the first day daisy which God planted upon the grave of the American soldier is scarce• ly dead, their commies dare not go thither to strew them with new flowers, because treason and an officer of the American army forbid it. Sir, from nearly every part of that beautiful land—land of the orange and the magnolia—the soldier of the Republic and the friends of your Government aro be. ing driven to day!

[From tho N. Yi Sunday Times.] THE FAMILY SEM ING MACHINE BY JENNIE JUNE. To understand the value of the Sewing Ma chine, and the happy changes which it has of feoted in the social and family relations, one must be familiar with the quiet households scattered through Out the East and West, the North and South, of this • great and thriving country. Everywhere in the interior, domestic assist ance of any kind is 60-141111 , 341 t to be obtained, that it is scarcely looked for, and every good housewife relies upon het own exertions,'not only to, keep her honse in order, her. !circlet 4 well 'supplied .with the essential. luxuries of home.bread, cake, and pies, but her.own, the children's, and frequently. her husband's ward robe furnished with all the useful,.if not the ornamental, articles of dress. This necessity provided an immense amount of work for one pair of hands to perform—the female head of the family, the hard-tasked wife and mother, found. not a moment for re !nation. Tl e. drudgery of the kitchen war succeeded by that,of the work-basket, Whose pile of shirts and small garments seemed nev er to decrease. Not a moment of time could be afforded for the gratification of any simple fancy, oven in ornamental needlework, all, to , the last moment, and far into Saturday night, was exhausted in the neeeSsities of the plain est work upon little aprons, frocks, and dr:two , ere, and the inevitable' weekly collectiorrot family mending. In a large number of these households the case is bow widely different ; the Sewing Ma chine, generally the Grover & Baker, occupies an honored place in the family-sitting-room, and accomplishes more and better than the most skillful seamstress.. It is in a sense, which only those can appreciate who have known what it is to sow all the' hOusehold gar monte by hand, the family friend. It ie look ed upon with eyes of mil-affection.. The interior of a country house,. at this sea son of the year, is as pleasant as can .be imag hied ; and it is made so, in a great degree, by the presence of the Sewing Machine. An hours work in the afternoon, upon a bright. rapid, wonder-working Grover & Baker,• will acccomplish more ; than could ho done by a weary hand .almost into midnight. It will not only finish the dozen shirts in "less than no time," but it will Leek drawers and chemises. ruffle nightgowns, stitch trowsers, quilt coy erlids and linings, and all this, and much more. with such strength, beauty, aril precision, as 'would throw the neatest hand work into the shade. A Sowing . Machine needs only to be pur chased once in a lifetime, it is therefore ot.the greatest importance to get the beet ; the one, which, all things considered, is most perfectly adapted to meet the requirements. This, we sincerely believe, and :the opinion is corroborated by the highest',authorities in the community, is the Grover & Baker Ma; chine making the celebrated "Grover & Baker" stitch, the only stitch, as far as we know, suffi °lolly elastic to be adapted to all kinds of family sewing. The peculiar qualitiesof the Grover & Baker Machine, aro strength, beauty,- elasticity, and versatility, or adaptation to any kind of work It Compasses the whole range of family sewing completely, and without any of the vexatious delnys in rewinding, fastening, and finishing. which are common to other machines, and which occupy so much time and waste so much material. It makes a beautiful, smooth, elas tic seam upon cloth or cambric, which gives when it is washed or stretched without break ing, and in whieh every stitch is so firmly locked that the seam can be cut off between every half dozen, stitches without impairing its strength. Testimonial letters, from Indies and helm keepers all over the country, speak unitedly of the beauty . and elasticity...of stitch. One lady, says it is the only ; machine that earl "quilt;"untidier, that it is the only one "fit for boy's trowsers ;" and a third, that ebb 'ls particularly delighted with the way in which :it makes "woolen drawers' and flannel 'gar .ments." The Grover & Baker stitalvie the only ene ;that: can bo properly used upon /do/raceme, and , .is therefore adapted to an immense variety of ,gainients containing such seams ' and also seams which are subjected to much stretching and wear. In addition to the fact that no re winding and no:fastening is required, a great deal of time, and temper too, is , saved to the operator,•by the simplielty, regularity, and lease of the various movements; the'adjustment withouf , ehange of tonsicinoto different kinds of work, and the method by which itie thrown from the machine, without delayorembarraes• runt, and also in such a way ale to enable the operator to maintain a pkasant end graceful 'position. For dress-makers, the Grover & Baker is the only suitable machine ; it is the only One that 'will accomplish satisfactorily, and with an im mense saving of time, all the plain sewing, stitching, and quilting which they have to ac complish. For the heads of fiamilies it is eqUally vain able. It will do everything. It is simple, re liable, perfect in its operation,masy to be un derstood ,not easy to get out of order,and gives such thorough satisfaction, de to leave no room for complaint. "Soon DOSTDER."—A family in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, have been missing stove wood for several weeks past. On the return of the head of the family a few Slays since, the case was stated, and Sunday. night a, very pretty stick of fuel was left with the others on the woodpile. In the kick were 8 ounces of pow; der for safe keeping. Monday the stick was there—Tuesday the stick was there, and the laugh was now getting on the man who fixed it. Wednesday morning the stick wae gone.— Wednesday forenoon an explosion was heard in a house near, and a kitchen window MS 'spared no panes. , On going to the spot a sight was seen. Tho stove had joined a piece con ference. A kettle of pork and cabbage shot 'up through the roof like an arrow. A dish of Apples that was stowing on the stove, gave the pet tng the appearance of the map of Califor• Ma. A cat sleeping under the stove went through the window as if after the devil or doctor, and has not been seen or heard of since, but a smell of burnt oat hair pervades that house very thoroughly. A flat-iron was hoisted into a pan of dough, a chair lost three Jege, the wood-box looks sick, while the root of the hofiso locks like a busted apple-dump piing. The occupant of the ruin says : •Such dander never owes peforo, or I pays a light- Main' rod." . ORIGINAL LETTER —The chief magistrate of a certain corporate city writes the following : •"Dear Sir : —On Monday next lam to be mado a MARE, and will be , much obliged to you, if so be you will send me down by the coach some pervisione fitted for the occasion as i am to az my Brother the old MARE and the, rest of the bentoh" I am Sur, ace.
