" Oh 1 the - bashfulness of bachelors 1" When Mr. Thornbrooke arrived within the charmed precincts of Mr. Raymond's handsome parlors, velvet carpeted, clian deliered with gold and ormula, crowded to the very doors with those. charming knick-knacks that only a woman's taste provides, Miss Lilly was " at home " in a bewilderment of pink merino dress, edged with white lace around the pearly should ers, and a crimson moss rose twisted in her soft brown hair, She never looked half so pretty, and thank Providence, Jones wasn't on hand for once in his life. But, what was almost as bad, Lilly's cousin was there—a tall, slender, black-eyed girl, with arched lips, and cheeks as red as a Spitzenberg apple. 0, how Thornbrooke wished that Miss. Ester Allen visa at the bottom of the Red Sea, or anywhere else except in that particular parlor. And then her eyes were so sharp—he hadn't been doing the agreeable more than four minutes and a halt before she exclaimed : " Dear me, Mr. Thcrobreoke--pray ex cuse WE-but what on earth is the matter with your elbow ?"

And just as he was opening his lips to assure Miss Lilly that he was ready to take the precious gift in his arms then and there, without any unnecessary delay, the door opened and in walked Jones. Mirk was not at all cannibalistic in his propensities, but then be could have eaten Jones up with uncommon pleasure. And there the fellow sat, pulling his long mustache and talking the moat insipid twaddle—eat and sat, until Mark rose in despair to go. Even then he had no op portunity to exchange a private word with Lilly. " You'll, you'll not forget—" " Oh, be sure to remember," said she, smilingly, and half wondering at that unusual pressure he gave her hand. " Ladies often do provide their bachelor friends so." Mark went home the happiest individ ual that ever trod a New York pavement. Indeed 'so great was his felicity that he indulged in various gymnastic capers in dicative of bliss, and only paused in them at the gruff caution of a policeman, who probably had forgotten his own courting days— "Come, young Juan, what are you about?" " Was there ever, a more delicate Way of assuring me of her favorable considera. Lion! 'Rai there ever a more feminine admission of her sentiment.? Of course she will come herself—an•angel, an angel breathing airs from Paradise—,oh the delicious words! Wonder in what neigh borhood she would like me to engage a residence—how soon would it be best to name the day ! Oh ! if I should awake, and find it all a blissful dream!" Early next morning, Mr. Thornbrooke set briskly to work, " righting up things." How he swept and dusted and scoured— the room was aired to get rid of the to bacco smoke, and sprinkled with cologne, and beautified generally. At length when the dust was swept into a corner, and cov ered by a carelessly (?) disposed news paper, be found the window glass murky, and palished it with such vengeance that his fist, handkerchief and all, went through, sorely damaging the hand, and necessitating the ungraceful accessory of an old hat to keep out the winter blast for the time being. However, even this mishap didn't damp hie spirits, for was not Lilly coming? Long and wearily he waited, yet no tinkle at the bell gave warning of her ap proach. " It's all her sweet feminine modesty," thought he, and was content. At length there was an appeal below and Mark's heart jumped into his mouth, boating like a reveille drum. He rushed to the door, but there was no one but a little grinning boy with a box. " Mita Raymond's compliments, and here's de house-wife, sir."

" You sent me a house-wife this morn ing?" Wagn't it right ?" faltered Lilian. "It wasn't the kind I wanted at all." " Not the kind you wanted I" "No ; I prefer a living one, and I came to see if I could change it. I want one with brown hair and eyes—something, in short, Miss Lillian, just your pattern. Can't I have it?" Lilly turned white and then red ; smiled, and then burst into tears, and tried to draw away her hand, but Mark held it fakt. "No, no, dear Lilly ; first tell me if I can have the treasure I ask for r " Yes," she said, with.the prettiest con fusion in the world and then, instead of releasing the captive hand, the unreason able fellow took possession of the other too. But as Lilly did not object, we sup pose it was all right. Ann that was the odd path by which Mark Thornbrooke diverged from the. path of old bachelorhood, and stepped into the respectable ranks of matrimony. AZAD Wonsx.—The Arab women marry about the age of sixteen.. They are allow ed great liberty, visiting each other till late at night, without interruption.; in deed, being in company with a female is considered the beat protection. A woman is enabled to divorce her husband on very slight grounds; a had temper on his part is a sufficient reason; and, if no seri ous offence can be proved against the wife, she is entitled to receive back her dowry. Every lady, when she visits, car ries on her arm a little bag of coffee—this is boiled at the house where she spends the evening; thus enabling her to enjoy society without putting her friend to ex pense. An officer down in Georgia tells the following story : One night Gon. - was out on the line, and observed a light on the moun tain, opposite.

Whereupon the officer, turning to the corporal in charge of the gun, said : Corporal, do you see that light I" " Yes, sir." "Put a hole through it," oraered the Captain. The Corporal sighted the gun, and when all was reedy he looked up and said • " Captain, that's the moon.", " Don't care for that," was the Captain's ready response, " put a. hole through it anyhow.' +r if we knew the tares and crimes Crowding round our neighbor's way ; If we knewk the little losses, .

The misery of the pretty and heart broken daughter of Mrs. Surratt is the talk of the city. This girl appears to have loved her mother With all the petulant passion of a child. She visited her con stantly, and to-dai made so stirring an effort to obtain hel life that her devotion takes half the disgrace from the mother. She got the priests to speak in her behalf. Early to-day she k nelt in the cell at her mother's feet, and!sobbed, with now and then a pitiful scream till the gloomy cor ridors rang. She endeavored to win from Payne a statement, that her mother was not accessory, and; es a last resort, 'flung herself upon thit steps of the White louse, and enadecthet portal memorable I by her filial tears. V Abou't half-past eight o'clock this naoriing, Mrs. Surratt, ac companied by a feinale friend, ag, thavisit ed the White Udine for the purpose of obtaining an interifiew with the President. The latter havingrgiven orders that he would receive not one to-day, the door keeper stopped Miss Surratt at the faot of the steps leading 'up to the PresidentAi office, and would not permit her to pro ceed further. She then asked permission to see General Muzzy. the President's military secretary, who premptly answer ed the summons, and came down to where Miss Surratt was standing. As soon as the General made his appearance, Miss Sw eatt threw herself upon her knees before him, and catching him by the coat, with loud sobs and streaming 'eyes, implored him to assist her in obtaining a hearing, with the President. General Muzzy, in as tender a manner as possible, informed Miss Surratt that lie count not cordply with her request, as . President Johnson's orders were imperative, and he would receive no one. Upon General Muzzy re turning to his office, Miss •Surratt threw herself upon the stair steps, where she remained a considerable length of time. sobbibg aloud in the greateit anguish. protesting her mother's innocence, and imploring every one who came near her to intercede in her mother's 'behalf. While thus weeping, she declared her mother was too good and kind to be guilty of the enormous crime of which she was convicted, and asserted that if her mo ther was put to death ebe wished ,to die also. She was finally allowed to sit in the east room, where she lay in wait for all who entered, hoping to make them effi cacious in her behalf, all the while utter ing her weary heart in a woman's touch ing , cries ; but at last, certain of disap pointment, she drove again to the ,jail and lay in ,her mother's cell, with the heavy tboo'-lof wile who brings ill news. Tne "Agate," the special correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazeue, (Rep.)• writing off Fort Macon, N. C., June ith, gives an in ierasting account of an interview between General She rman and Chief Justice Chase, which took place at Newbern, when the hero of the Carolinas was on his way North. We quote as follows : General Sherman was boiling over with pride at the performances of his army through the winter, and all the more in dignant, by consequence, at the insults and injustice he imagined himself to have received, in consequence of his arrlnge , meat with Johnson. "I fancied the country wanted peace," he exclaimed. "If they don't, let them raise more soldiers." The General Lomplained, and doubt less with some truth, if not justice, that thO government bad never distinctly ex plained to him whet policy it desired to have pursued. " I asked Mr. Lincoln ex plicitly, when I went up to City Point, whether he wanted me to capture .led. Davis or bit him escape, and in reply he told me a story." That "story" may now have a histori cal value, and I give it therefore as Gen. Sherman said Mr. Lincoln told it—only premising that it was a lavorite story with Mr. Lincoln, which he told many times, and in illustration of many points of pub lic policy. I'll tell you, General," Mr. Lincoln was said to have begun, " I'll tell you what I think about taking Jeit Davis.— Out in Sangamon county there was an old temperance lecturer who was very strict in the doctrine of total abstinence. One day, after a long ride in the hot sun, he stop ped at the home of a friend who proposed making him a lemonade. As the mild beverage was being mixed, the friend in sinuatingly asked if he wouldn't like just the least drop of something stronger, to brace up his nerves after the exhausting heat and exercise. " No," replied the lecturer, "I couldn't think of it; I'm op posed to it on principle. But," he added, with a longing glance at the black bottle that stood conveniently at hand, " if you could manage to put in a drop unbeknotanat to me, I guess it wouldn't hurt me very mach!" " Now General, Mr. Lincoln' is said to have concluded, " I'm bound 'to oppose the escape of Jeff_ Davis; but if you coula manage to let him slip out unbeknownst like, I guess it wouldn't hurt me very much 1" "And that," exclaimed Gen: Sherman, "is all I could get out of the Government as to what its policy was concerning the rebel leaders, till Stanton assailed me for Davis' escape 1" " I hope you will be able to support me," said a young lady to her intended, while walking out one evening, during a slippery state of the sidewalk, •• Why, .ye-yes," said the hesitating swain, " with some little assistance from your father."

Let every one extend a most cordial welcome to the bronzed and battle-scarred heroes, who have just returned from their victorious fields • to resume their places among us as citizens. Let them be greet ed as they deserve with generous hearts and considerate 'elthrts to promote their well-being. Their heroism and achieve ments afford the richest material for 4th of July orations and speeches of welcome but the true test of a just appreciation of the services of the gallant soldiers of the Republic is to make their welcome home substantial by providing them prompt. employment and aiding them in every possible way to resume the arts and la bors of peace. They have been . ebsent for months and some for years, and others have filled many of their places in the various channels of industry. Mapy of them have f smilies dependent upon their labor, and every true friend of the returned soldier will manifest his friendship by aid ing him to attain success in the industrial pursuits of life. Many who time of war were not conspicuous for their friend ship for the soldier and his cause, now foresee social disorder as one of the fruits of a large army disbanded• into peaceful pursuits. We do not fear such a result. A good soldier cannot be a bad citizen ; and•tho hiptory of warefare gives no in— stance of a more heroic • and invincible soldiery than was embraced in the Uaioa armies. They wore good soldiers, because they were good citizens; and they will resume their places in society without even a ripple on the surface. But they , will need kind friends. They must have aid to procure employment, and let every faithful Man see at once that the returned soldiers in his neighborhood are proffered suitable labor. It. would be heartless in gratitude on the part of the people whose tiberties have been preserved by the valor of our volunteers, should any soldier seek employment in vain and sutler want in the land he has rescued from the perils of treason by his sacrifices. Let one VA all. extend a kind hand and a generous heart to the heroes of the Republic in our taidst.-4 We owe it to them to do so, and iet debt be paid promptly and cheerfully, and all will beasell. A lf.ttr Torsr.—Here is a very good anecdote, reminding one somewhat of Urs. Stowe's " Topsy :" During the last winter a " contraband " came into the Federal lines in North Carolina, and was marched up to the offi cer of the day to give an account of him aelf, whereupon the following colloquy ensued: " What's your name 2" "My name's 8.1 m." name t" " I'se got none, sah—neber had none.

"There is always room up stairs," was the reply—and as true as it was ingenious., Only a few persons can reach the high places, and these are always in great de mand—" there is alwayis room enough up stairs."
