I low to Coi.kt in Curtail. A your.g
gentleman, happening to sit at church in
a pew adj .aineg one in which sat a young
lady for whom he conceived :i sudd. n and
violent passion, was desirous of entering
into a courtship cn the snot ; but the place
not being suitable for a formal declaration,
the exigency of the case snggc-ted the
following plan : lie politely hand.-d his
fair neighbor a l'ible opened with a pin
stuck in the following text : Second Epis
tle of John, verse fifth : "And now I
beseech thee, lady, not as though I. wrote
a new commandment unto thee, but that
which we had from the beginning, that
we love one another."
She returned it, pointing to the second
Epistle of Jviith, verse tenth: "Then she
fell on her face, and bowed herself to the
ground and said unto him : 'Why have
Ifounl grace in thine eyes, seeing that
I am a stranger ?" He returned the book
pointing to the thirteenth verse of the
Third Epistle of John : "Having many
things to write to you, I would not write
with pen and ink, but I trust shortly to
come unto you and speak face to face
that our joy maybe full."
Prom the above interview, a marriage

Danbury (Conn.) Tunc?, heretofore neu

run up the Democratic State ticket, and
avowed its purpose to do wiiat it can for
its success being fairly convinced, it says,
that uprm this "depends our release f.oui
negro agitation, unj ist'taxation, and polit
ical intolerence." That is sensible ; and
illustrates what we often said before, that
the soldiers are not so much afilictcd with
"negro on the brain" as some who don't
know the negro quite so well.

Ax old lady of color came into one of
the offices, in the city not far ficm this,
and enquired if that was the place the
Preedmeu's Pun. m was kept. On the
clerks replying in the allirmitive, she said
she had come for her bureau, and she
didn't want any little washstand put off
on her ; she wanted a big bureau, with a
big glass on top, so she could see how to

MUPDEi: AND THE MICPOSCOPE.
Several years ago, at the Norwich As
sizes, a remarkable ease was tried, in
which the microscope plavcd a conspicu
ous part as a detective. One morning a
young girl was found dead in a field with
her throat cat. The p. r' n upon whom
suspicion fell was the mother of the girl,
who had been seen, that moinirg passing
through die field with her. The woman,
in her examination, answered w ry cl- ttily,
and without a moments hesitation, all ihc
questions put to her. She admitted hav
ing been in the field with her daughter,
but stated that the latter bad left her for
the purpose of gathoiing floweis, and she
bad not afterwards seen the iil alue.
O i searching the Lou.-e of the accused, a
iong-bladed knife was found, to the blade
of which some hairs were adhering, but
the- were so line it were impossible to ;!!
whether or no (hey were tluse of a human
creature. The prisoner account, d fur
tin in by saying that, l.avh g caught a
rabbit that Tina niog in a snare, she h.-nj
cut its throat with the instrunn nt. Tie
knife was s. nt to London, however for ihe
purpose of being examined by a micro
scope. It bad been washed pivxious to
its being f
but,
:i removing t;
haft, some traces of blood wer-: discerned,
which, i n being submitted to the micro
scope, prove! to be human blood. Next,
the mieroscopist, who was unacquainted
with the facts, elicited on trial, examined
the hairs adheilug to the blade, and un
hesitatingly deelar. it them to be that of a
squirrel. He could not be deceived, he
said, because tin? hairs e-f any e.ne species
of animal differ so entirely from those of
another, when submitted to ihe microsco
pic test, that il would be impossible io
confound them. TheyehrTcr not only in
thickness and color, but also in certe-M
t.hysical viid';ti.ns that peculiarly and
surely distinguish them. And, as it hap
pened that the c';i had worn a tip-pet
made of squirrel fur on the morning of h-r
death, the mother was feun 1 guilty of
the murder, and confessed hnr guilt b'-f
previous to her execution for the crime.
