TWILIGHT.
The last bright wave of the day hath ebbed
From off the western strand,
And now, with balmiest repose,
' Blessing tbe darkened land,
Twilight and Peace from heaven descend
Together hand in hand.
The reaper's long day's work is done
Among the glowing grain ;
The chestnut bonghs have swept the sides
Of the last loaded swain ;
Only the cricket's shrill voice siDgs '
Along the leafy lane.
A soft obscurity lies round
Meadow, and road, and Btream ;
Under entangled blue-bell stems,
Moveth the glow-worm's beam :
And white acress the dusky path,
lhe dog-rose petals gleam.
Anon the great dor-beetle sails,
With musical deep boom.
From where the thornbeain branches make
A cool and odorous srloom,
Into the jasmine's pendent mass
Oi silvery star-bloom.
All silently the cereus buds
Their gentle eyes unclose ;
No whisper stirs the lightest leaT
Of the old yellow rose,
That round the mossy garden .wall
.Long scented garlands throws.
Flowers grassy-couched in wood and dell
Know that the night is nigh.
How the first fairy-bells of dew
' Have runs: their lullaby ;
Faintly from out the distant brake
I hear the fern-owl cry.
And aromatic breathings come
r rora the far thvmv lea.
Bringing the sweet sad memories
Ol summer eves to me.
That in the freshness of their joy,
Ah, never more shall be I
Married the Wrong Woman.
The following good story is told of an
Austrian General who fell in love with a
fair Venetian lady :
In spite of the inveterate aversion on the
part of the Venetians, it sometimes hap
pens that some of the dark-eyed daughters
of Venetia revenge the humiliation of their
country by vanq'ushing the heart of a b!ue
eyed German, who, despite the opposition
of the fair Italian's friends, becomes the life
long slave of his charmer. But marriages
of this kind are exceedingly rare ; for the
Venetian women, to do them justice, have
always felt and resented the insult and deg
radation to their country in its subjection to
the stranger, even more keenly than the
men.
Still, as we have observed, there are - in
stances of Austrian officers marrying Vene
tian ladies ; for love, who rules the " court,
the camp, and the grove," is not always a
respecter of patriotic feelings. His arrows
fly past the lines which statesmen and diplo
matists have thrown to mark tho bounda
ries of nations, and transfix hearts, whose
sole means of communication is tho "lan
guage of the eyes," into eternal unison.-
One of these Austro- V enetian marriages
which made considerable noise both in Yen-
ice and Vienna, was between General Ga
blentz a grim veteran of some fifty years of
age, and Signora Morisini, the sole daugh
ter of the Signor Morisini, one of the weal
thiest of the merchant princes of Venice.
The General who was not supposed to be
a marrying man, was one day in the autumn
of last year, taking a leisurely stroll through
the Giardino Publico, or Public Promenade.
The General was accompanied by a young
subaltren, for whom he had evinced a great
liking.
All at once the attention of the veteran
was attracted by a remarkably stately and
graceful lady walking in advance of them.
" Mein Gott 1" said the General, in aloud
harsh tone of voice, "but that is a beautiful
figure of a woman."
The abrupt loudness of the voice in which
this was spoken caused the object of the
General's eulogy to turav suddenly round,
when a wave of wind blew aside her veil,
and revealed a face of the"most perfect sym
metry, lighted up with a pair of eyesi
"large dark eyes, which flash upon you a
volley of rays, which seem to say a thousand
things at once," and which certainly dis
charged upon a well seasoned veteran a fire
which rtfoved and melted him more than the
fire of musketry or artillery to which he had
been exposed in the whole course of his
military life. -
There and then old GabI en tz owned him
self completely vanquished The next step
was to prevail upon his enslaver of her guar
dian to accept the homage of the heart and
hand due to her victory.
Nov, at the time, the General was a per
fect stranger to the lady. He had Dever
.1
He did not know her name, where she lived
or to whom she belonged.
Clearly, then, the first step towards the
accomplishment of his object was to make
himself acquainted with these.
The General, therefore, requested his
young friend, as the greatest favor ho could
confer upon him, to dog the footsteps of the
lady, and if possible discover her name and
abode, with as much more kindred informa
tion as he could make himself master of.
The young officer faithfully executed his
commission. Without letting his move
ments be perceived by the object of his pur
suit, he traced her along the Grand Canal,
in a gondola which he hired, to one of the
finest mansions near the Palazzo
As soon as the lady dismissed her gondo
lier, and entered the portals of the palace,
the officer stepped ashore, and first bribed
the porter, that functionary informed him
that the house was the town residence of the
Signor Morisini, and that the name of the
lady who had just entered was Juliano Mor
isini. With this information he hastened to his
employer, old Gablentz, who, overjoyed at
the prospect of being son-in-law to the
father of so beautiful a woman, lost no time
in waiting upon the Signor Morisini.
The Venetian was surprised at the ardor
of the General ; but, contrary to the expec
tation of the lover, he made no objection to
the match. The preliminaries were soon
over, and the happy bridegroom appeared
at the altar. The bridegroom had just re
peated the vows after the officiating priest,
and the lady had raised her veil in order to
p!edge herself to "everlasting love, honor
and obedience," when the gallant and am
orous General gave a loud exclamation, of a
nature more suited to the atmosphere of the
barracks or the mess-room than to that of
the sanctuary.
" A fraud ! a vile fraud ! a mean, cursed
fraud I" shrieked, rather than spoke the
bridegroom.
Intense was the astonishment of all pres
ent, but no one except the bridegroom him
self, and the gentleman who had acted the
part of friendly spy for him, understood the
cause of jthe General's extraordinary and
unseemly behavior."
The latter gentleman, however, though
greatly marvelling at the affair,, readily sym
pathized with the infuriated bridegroom ;
for there, before the altar, arrayed in bridal
costume, stood not the fresh and radiant
beauty of the Giardino Publico, but a dry
and faded we might almost Bay a withered
and scraggy faced, though tall and stately in
her person lady, old enough to be, at least,
the mother of the young and beautiful crea
ture whose fascinations had vanquished the
poor old General.
When the officiating priest had recovered
the composure disturbed by thetridegroom's
outburst of fury, he demonded to know the
cause of such conduct.
"Cause !" echoed the General; "cause
enough ! That is not the lady I bargained
for !"
"But that lady is my daughter!" said
the Venetian, stepping forward and con
fronting the warrior with a mien as fierce
and stern as his own. "That lady is my
daughter ; though we are the subjects of a
foreign rule, I, at least am not so cowardly
a slave as to put up quietly with the gross
m.ult you now offer me 1"
A general altercation ensued ; but the end
of it was that the General was compelled to
marry the mature and unblushing, middle
aged bride whom he had led to the altar.
The Austrian Commander-in-Chief in
Vetiice, on being appealed to, and on the
affair being explained to him, insisted that
the honor of the Austrian army, and even
of the Emperor, were invohed in the affair.
" For," reasoned the Commander-in-Chief,
"you know you procured my influence,
which is that of the Eaiperor, to prevail on
the Signor Morisini to give you the hand of
his daughter ; and inasmuch as the lady is
his daughter, and his only daughter when
you made your suit, you must be sensible
to the fact that it would never do to break
your word.
The poor crest fallen general was compell
ed to take the middle aged lady "for better
and for worse." It is jossibIe, however,
that he may have consoled himself with the
reflection that the unpleasant looking pill
which he had promised to swallow might be
rendered palatable by a gilding of some of
his father-in-law's gold.
The source of the mistake was easily clear
ed up.
Old Morisini had a son, settled as a mer
chant in Genoa. This son, who was marri
ed, had a daughter bearing the same name
as her aunt Juliano Morisini.
This daughter the beauty of the Giar
dino Publico was on a visit to her grand
father, at Venice, when, in the manner rela
ted, she was seen by General Gablentz, and
who, because her name was Slorisini and she
lived in the same house, very illogically
jumped to the conclusion that she must be
the old Verietian, Morisini's daughter. In
his impatience1 to have the fair one for his
wife, he had dispensed with a long courtship
aad indeed, with any interviews with the la
dy, satisfied with her father's consent, and
fearing probably that his own age, and rough
and rugged address and countenance, might
not make a tender impression on the soft and
dazzliffg creature whom he desired to make
his wife.

Our Fighting Editor.
The "John Bull" newspaper, a highly
prized weekly, while edited by Theodore
Hook, frequently indulged in offensive per
sonalities, in remarking on the character and
conduct of public men. A military hero
who would persist in placing himself con
spicuously before the world's gaze, received
a copious share of what he considered ma
lignant and libellious abuse in the columns
of the said "Bull." His soldier's spirit
resolved on revenge An officer and a gen
tleman could not demean himself by calling
on a hireling scribbler for satisfaction 1 No,
he would horsewhip the miscreant in his
own den the Bull Ehould be taken by then
horns! Donning his uniform and arming
himself with a huge whip, he called at the
office of tho paper, and, scarcely concealing
his agitation, inquired for the editor. He
was invited by the clerk to take a seat in
the inner room! He complied, and was
kept in waiting, while the clerk, who recog
nized the visitor, ran up stairs and informed
the editorial responsibilities of his name and
evident purposes. After an aggravating de
lay, which served considerably to increase
the ill-temper of the officer, the door opened
and a coarse, rough looking man, over six
feet in height, with a proportionate breadth
of shoulder, and armed with a bludgeon,
entered the room. Walking up to the sur
prised and angry visitor, he said in a voice
of thunder, " Are you the chap as wants to
see me ?"
" You? No. I wish to see the editor of
this paper,"
" That's me. I am the wcrry man."
" There must be some mistake."
"Not a morsel I I'm the head-hitter of
this Bull," paid the fellow bringing the nob
bed end of his bludgeon within fearful prox
imity to the officer's caput.
" Yon the editor ? Impossible !"
" Do you mean to say I am telling a lie ?"
roared the ruffian, as he again raised his
knotty argument
" Certainly not by no mcan3 !" said the
officer, rapidly cooling down, and dropping
the horse-whip and his wrath at the same
tine.
" Wcrry well, then what are you wanting
wi'me?"
" A mistake, my dear sir ; all a mistake.
I expected to meet another person. I'll call
again ; and the valiant complainant backed
toward the door, bowing politely to the
brawn before the door.
" And don't let me ketch you coming
again without knowing exactly what you
want. We're always ready here for all sorts
of customers ; army or navy ; civil or mil
itary horse, foot and dragoons."
The officer retired, resolved to undergo
another goring by the Bull before he again
ventured to encounter the herculean pro
portions of the fighting editor.
W hen the clerk informed the occupants
of the editorial sanctum of the visit of the
irate Colonel, neither Hook nor his pub
lisher cared to face the horsewhip. A well
known pugilist, the landlord of a tavern in
the vicinity was sent for ; a slight prepara
tion fitted him for the part in which he ac"
quitted himself with perfect success. The
story japidly circulated and the reputation
of. the fighting editor of the Bull prevented
farther remonstrances from persons who fan
cied themselves aggrieved by the liberty of
the press.
Bite off my Ears.
At a social party, a wag found himself in
the course of the evening, in conversation
with a nervous looking stranger. Pointing
out to him a gentleman of inquiring turn of
mind in another portion of the room, he
said
" Do you see that man there ? He has a
mania a very pleasant one, too. He is pos
sessed with the idea that he must bite off
strangers' ears, and it has caused a dreadful
amount of trouble. I do not know whether
he will show any symptons to night, but per
ceiving your are a stranger, I deem it my
duty to put you on your guard Don't let
him approach very near you.
The expression of horror that spread over
the face of the nervous man, clearly proved
that he had heard the warning, AJittle la
ter the benevolent informant got an oppor
tunity to tell the inquiring man that that
man (pointing out the individual) was a phy
sical wonder, as a roaring noise could be dis
tinctly heard proceeding from his ear by get
ting within eighteen inches of him. Our
curious friend was struck with this unheard
ef phenomenon, and very properly began to
work himself closs enough for a personal in
vestigation. The movement was seen by the
nervous man, and great drops of apprehen
sive sweat oozed out from his brow and trick
led down his cheeks.
Nearer and nearer approached the one,
and more terribly intense grew the horror of
the other. The space between them was
slowly but surely lessening. The curious
man was within an ace of the "roaring,"
when the agony of the "roarer," reached its
crisis, and clinching his fist he landed it be
tween the "lookers" of the unfortunate
searcher after physical wonders, shouting at
the top of his voice :
"Bite off my ears will you ?

What Newspapers do for Noth
ing. The following article should be read and
pondered well by every, man who takes a
county paper witJiout paying for it .
My observation enables me to state, as a
fact, that publishers of newspapers are more
poorly rewarded than any other class of men
in the United States who invest an equal
amount of capital, labor and thought. They
are expected to do more service for less pay,
to stand more sponging and "dead-heading,"
to puff and defend more people without fee
or hope of reward, than any other class.
They credit wider and longer, get oftner
cheated, suffer more pecuniary loss, are of
tener the victims of misplaced confidence
than any other calling in the community.
People pay printer's bills with more reluc
tance than any other. It goes harder with
them to expend a dollar on a valuable news
paper than ten on a needless gewgaw ; yet
everybody avails himself of the use of the
editor's pen and the printer's ink.
How many professional and political repu
tations and fortunes have been made and sus
tained by the friendly and unrequited pen of
the editor ? How many embryo towns and
cities have been brought into notice, and
puffed into prosperity by the press ? How
many railroads, now in successful operation,
would have foundered but for the "leTer
that moves the world ?" In short, what
branch of industry and activity has not been
prompted, stimulated and defended by the
press ?
And who has tendered it more than a mis
erable pittance for bis service ? The bazaars
of fashion, and the haunts of dissipation
and appetite are thronged with an eager
crowd, bearing gold in their palms, and the
commodities there vended are sold at enor
mous profits, though intrinsically worthless,
and paid for with scrupulous punctuality ;
while the counting-room of tho newspaper
is the seat of Jewing, cheapening trade, or
ders and pennies. It is made a point of hon
or to liquidate a grog bill, but not of dishon
or to repudiate a printer's bill.
Potatoes and Progeny. Mrs. S. C.
Hall, in her "Sketches of Irish Character,"
relates the following amusing anecdote : It
is all about a certain Lady Middleton, who,
contrary to her most anxious wish, was un
blessed with any children. After an absence
of several years with her liege lord in Eng
land she returned with him to reside for a
time on one of their Irish estates. As the
carriage drove up to the mansion, she no
ticed several fine looking children about the
gate, and having learned that their inb'iher
was the wife of the gate porter, she deter:
mined to interrogate her, resistive to the
cause of her fecundity ; she, therefore, next
day, made her way down to the porter's
lodge, and commenced her inquiries :
" Whose children are these my good wo
man ?"
"All my own, my good lady."
" What ! three infants of the same age."
" Yes, my lady I had three the lasttime."
" now long have you been married ?"
" Three years, your ladyship."
" And how many children have you ?"
"Seven, my lady."
At last came the question" of questions
how came she to have the children of chil
dren ? The poor woman, not well knowing
what this catechism meant, and not know
ing how to wrap up in delicate words her idea
of cause and effect, blushed and grew con
fused, and at last replied "I think it must
be the potatoes, my lady."
This unfolded a theory of population quite
new to Lady Middleton, who eagerly de
manded : "The potatoes ? Do you not eat
much of them ?"
" Oh, yes, my lady. Very seldom w have
bread, and so we take potatoes the year
round.
Greatly agitated withher new information,
the lady further asked "And where do you
get the potatoes ?"
" Well," said Lady Middletown, send me
up a cartload of the potatoes, and the stew
ard will pay for them."
Shortly after, her ladyship rose to leave
the house, and indeed, had left it, when the
woman ran after her and, blushing, with
some hesitation asked her, "And sare my
lady, is it to have children that you want po
tatoes ?"
It was now the lady's torn to blush, arid
replying in the affirmative "Because," ad
ded the woman, "I am thinking if it is, Pat
had better fetch them to you himself."
Rich Men's Sons. II. Ward Beocher,
in a sermon delivered at Plymouth Church,
last Sunday evening, produced the following
picture of rich men's sons :
"Men seem" ashamed of labor, and often,
often you shall find men who have made
themselves respected in labor, have built up
a business and amassed a fortune, who turn
to their sons and say : "You shall never do
as I did ; you shall lead a different life ; you
shall be spared all this." Oh, these rich
men's sons 1 They aim to lead a life of ele
gant leisure ; and that is a life of emascula
ted idleness and laziness. Like the polyp
that floats useless and nasty upon the sea, all
jelly, all flabby, no muscle, no bone it shuts
and opens, and opens and shuts, and sucks
in and squirts out again, of no earthly ac
count, influence, or rfse. Such are these poor
fools. Their parents toiled and grew strong,
rinilt nn their frames of iron and bone ; but
denying all this to their sons, they turn them
upon the world boneless, muscleness, simple
trrizzle. ahd soft at that What if you do
get your time reduced to eight hours, and.
wages increased to to, does that educate
A Few Words on Squeezing! While
were are growing very sensible indeed in the
matter of dress, as far is- bbotsj balmoral
skirts warm stockings and high necks, we
are degenerating in some Other matters quite
as important The corset is now a necessary
part of a woman's wardrobe ; and, alasl
when a woman does begin to wear corsets,
she will wear them too email, and will tug
at the laces till her breath becomes short,
and feels it necessary to refrain from any
thing like a comfortable meal. We say both
ing against a well-shaped corset worn loose,
but there lies the difficulty. A loose corset
injures the appearance of the figure, instead
of improving it, and people wear corsets that
they may have small waists. All we can say
is, don't squeeze, whatever you do; you may
have small wists, but you are exposing your
self to a dozen misfortunes which are as bad
as a large waist First, you'll surely hav
dyspepsia, and grow yellow and cross and
unhappy ; secondly, your .hands trill grow
red ; thirdly, your nose ; fourthly, you will
be unable td walk a mile at once ; fifthly,
dinner will be a misery ; sixthly, your should
er blades will increase id size and altitude
seventhly, your eyes will grow weak; eighth-"
ly, you Will break down at thirty or there
abouts, and be a sickly old woman1 from that
time forth. If these truths do nol frighteri
women frdrri tight corsets, perhaps the in
formation that gentlemen generally do not
adruire what dressmakers call a '.'pretty fig
ure" so much as a natural one, may havti
some influence: ?
Tact and Talent. Talent is something;
but tact is everything: Talent is serious, so-;
ber, grate and respectable ; tact is all that
and more too. It is not a sixth sense, but i
is the life of all the five. It is the open eye,
the quick ear, the judging taste, the keen
smell, and the lively touch ; it is the inter
preter of all riddles the snnnounter, of all .
difficulties the remover of all obstacles. It
is useful in all placed, aid at all titzles ; it is
useful in solitude, for it f-hows a man into
the world ; it is useful in society for itshowj
lum the way through the world. Talent is
power tact is r-kill ; talent is weight tact
is momentum ; talent knows what to do
tact knows how to do it ; talent makes a ttaa
respectable tact will make him respected ;
talent is .wealth tact is ready money: For
all practical purposes of life, tact carries it
against talent ten to one. "

Buckley, in one of his lectures, made use of
an illustration that will bear repeating 1
Holding a dime close td his eyes With one
hand, and a half dollar at some distance with
the other, aaid he : "Now, I cannot see the
half dollar with this eye, for the dime is so
near it, it obscures my vision. So it is with
men of business ; in their eagerness to &ave
a dollar, they often lose sight of the fifty
within their reach."
