, •
The Amirican buSiness : Man,. as . a
rule, can give but little time to field
sports,
awl when he _ can steal a feW
hoursfroltfib tread-mill of his daily
toil, is - co pelted to seek his outdoor
pleasures 'Rhin a short distance of the
,iv.
city. Re ular sportsmen and gentle
men of el ant leisure can, of course,
look for n ble game on the great plains
of the far i est,.or in the fastnesses of
the motuitain ranges; but there are
• thousandS of others who have as strong
,w.love.for the exciting ventures of the
Chase, wbOse - business and families an
chor them within, at the most, a week's
time of the great metropolis. A visit
lever( to the North Woods, where game,
by the way, is not tie plenty as - in for
mer yefirs, is attended with great ex
pense aid discomfort; and a man who
has butfa week to devote to shooting,
no sooner reaches the ground and gets
fairly to work, than he is obliged to
pack up his traps and start for home.
Recognizing the want of nearer spor
.ting grounds. two gentlemen of this
city a year ago conceived the idea of
, providing a grand park or inclosure
within a reasonable distance of New
York, and where game might, be bred
and protected as it is in Europe in the
grand forests there. . •
Great difficulty was experienced in
findinga sufficiently large tract of land
, - r.
1 i rwhere near New York that con
nutted tue 'necessary requisites; 1)1 , 1 at
last a spot - NY/4z' " , ... ,, i nerfectly suited
to the purpose in Pike connty, in the
extreme northeastern portion of the
State of Peunsyivania. To add to the
advantages and attractions of the coun
try,
_deer were already found in the
woods in great numbers, and wood
cock, ruffed grouse and wild pigeons
were met with at every turn. The
streams were already stocked . with
splendid trout, and the trot seemed
really a sportsman's paradyise ; being
distant from the city of New', York only
four and a half hours by the Ririe rail
road. ' -
About 12,000 acres of land were pur
chased, and in such a form as to include
all the finest of the lakes, the moun
tainous country, and the best of the
streams. It was at ones decided to
form a club of the gentlemen of New
York fond of sporting, for the purpose
of improving, stocking and euclosing'
the tract, and an association : was organ
ized, called the Blooming Grove Park
Associlation. .. '
The animals now found upon the
lands, include the black bear, wild cat,
otter, mink, fox, opossum and deer, to
gether
with several varieties of game
birds, which embrace, the" woodeok,
ruffed grouse, quail, duck and pigeon.
The lakes, eight in number, are already
well stocked with fish of different kinds,
and in the larger sheet of water, which
is nearly threeyailes in eircumfereppe, a
large number of black bass have been
placed. Pisatorial works have been
; established, rom which trout and other
fish can be bed by millions, and turned
into the la es and streams, keeping
them always well stocked. The differ
ent varieties of game will be bred in
large numbers, in enclosures adapted
to the purpose, and the young, as. soon
as they are able• to , take care of them
selyes, will be turned into the main
part. '
- it the Intentionof the association
to erect a large and commodious hotel
In one corner of the tract next, season,
for the exclusive use of the members
and their families, the presence of the
ladies being expected and specially
provided for. It is particularly desired
that the ladies should take part even in
the field sports should they desire.
Here will be an asylum where the
enervated belles of N. York can spend
a season, and in the sports of the 'field,
regain ten years of youth, as capital'
for future campaigns at Saratoga and
Long Branh. There is no reason why
a lady she ld not learn to cast a fly and
ic
ensnare th wily trout as skillfully as
the most epert male angler, and with
a light rifle they would soon learn to
enjoy a wait upon a run-way, fora final
crank at the spotted deer. No more
sensible, healthful, or rational enjoy
ment could be propoSed than a month's
outdoorsport in a locality so well stoph
ed With game ;. and it, is to be hoped
that such a pastime may• find favor in
the future with people who usually
spend their summer vacation idly ma
king a tour of the watering places and
fashionable resorts, and from which
they generally - return to town more
weary and' langn id than at the outset.
Last week two gentlemen visited the
hunting grounds, and -met with the
most flattering
,success. On the fipat'
day, three 'magnificent, bucks were
brought down, and on the second day

CHICAGO REAL ESTATE.
ITS ROMANTIC ASPECT AS SEEN BY
DoNN PiArr.
In the sudden rise to fortune that
comes of unexpected Value in corner
lots, many a romance unwinds itself, '
that in the bands of an expert play
writer or novelist' would make some- :
thing worth hearing or reading. The
rich who used to come In at the
right moment. from India, now tibia
up from,Chicago, and in a flue suit of
broadcloth, and under a silk stovepipi,
with no end of gold chain festooned
from his vest, says, "Bless you, my
children,"" to low music[and a slow cur=
It seems that there was a poor cooper
livingvithin two miles of the court
house, who owned a patch of land that
was abouV as •barren; Worthless and
-miserable in its low, sandy,
.and wet 1
condition as any bit of'real estate in;
the • distant Swamp.' But the coo Per,
whose Wife had shaken herself' out of
this wet location in our !tale of tear%
had a dabghter that was as fair to look
upon as his land was miserable. She
was bare legged and ragged, but the
lege were wonderfully perfect, the
graceful figure and'SWeet 'face appear
ing , more attractive from their urka
dornikd condition. ' :
Ono fine 'Morning the, old_ cooper
Wakened t 4 the unhappy fad` that hie
only and' had been seduced by the
son of a wealthy man, and the Maker
of hoops and staves drove his head-adze
into his wooden horse, and swore to be
avenged. He 'claimed that his dauglv.
ter bad been married through a mock
marriage, and he sought by laW to force
,the scoundrel to marry the victim.—
But having no money, he was only
laughed at, although he got together
some rather ugly-looking papers to
sustain his assertions. He tried to
sell his pwamp, and although property
in real estate was then
• looking up, no
one would give him $5 an acre for his
ground. To the poverty that came of
his neglected work the poor old crea
ture of bungholes at last succumed,
dying of a broken heart and too much
bad whisky. After his death, the girl,
with her illegitimate child, disappeared
from the sight of society, high and low,
in Chicago. _
In the meantime the wonderful town
spread and improved. It grew to gigan
tic proportions, and soon the poor
departed cooper's tract became to be de
sirable. Longing, speculate eyes were
turned upon it but no one was about
to sell, or even lease. At last a full
stomached, bald-headed gentleman pos
sessed himself of all the tax titles and
went on boldly to fill up and improve.
Over the waste sandy tract of the de
parted maker of whisky barrels/ QllO of
the most substantial blocks presented a
':s
large fortune. •
Some fourteen years passed in this
way, after the disappearance of the
poor, ruined girl, when ono morning
/me mIl-stomached, bald headed 'specu
lator was calk'upon by a matronly
looking femal , accompanied by a bkau
t/1
tifill girl of si teen, and this rwiTiApan
claimed to bee daughter or the coop
er, and quiet y asked a restitution of
her father's pr perty.
Old Bald s not taken aback. He
N I
was preparedi for this, and not only
claimed the property under his tax
titles, but upon a ground that co uld not
have originated id any place Ilia Chi
cago. He claimed to be the .usband
of the poor woman and • the t i ther of
the child. He asserted that the mar
riage was no fraud, but a real Marriage,
and he was as tender and sentimental
in this as he was firm in the de nee of
what he called his legal right . And
..
now began an odd contest. he wo
man was as eager to proio t c cere
mony a fraud as she had one been
anxious to sustain its validity, while
her seducer in like manner passed from
one side to the other. It wis eventually
compromised by securing the property
to the child after the death of the fath
er and a handsome alloWance to the
quasi wife.
I have given the facts as they were,
given to me, but in the hands of an
adroit quill driver I maintain that
there is a good foundation for a comedy
or novel as any in the. Ledger or Mer
cury. ,
INTERESTING LOVE LETTER.—The
following; read every line, contains a
rejection ; read every other line, is an
oiler : .
The great love I have hitherto ex
pressed for you is gone, and I feel my
Indifference towards you Increasing
every day. The more I see you, the
more you appear int my eyes, the object.
of contempt. I find myself every day
disposed and determined to dislike you.
Believe me, I have no inclination to
nceituvr upon you my baud. Our last
conversation left a tedious insipidity ;
and, by no means, gave me the most
exalted idea of your character. Your
temper would make me extremely
NV efun
happy, and if we e united, I should
experience nothing ut the censure of
my parents, added to an everlasting
displeasure on being with you I have,
indeed, a heart to bestow, but do not
wish you to imagine it is at our
t,ser
vice. I coo d not giye it to one more
inconsisten and capricious than your
self, and le s deserving the honor of
`my choice ~ ud 'devotion, less worthy
the admiration of my friends, and the
respect of my family.
Situ RAD HIM.—It won't do to play
tricks on some women. A man named
Hotchkiss, in diew,ark, thought he'd
have some fun in scaring his wife, by
dropping loose brick, down the chhn
ney into the fire place in her room. iSo
he crept softly out of bed, with no
thing on 'but his night,shirt, sneak
ed up Stairs and got out on the roof.—
He dropped nineteen bricks down, 'the
chimney, each with a vigorous slam;
but his wife never screamed a solitary
time. So Mr. Hotchkiss gave it up,
and thought he would go down stairs;
but Mrs. Hotchkiss had.her head out of
the trap door, watching him all the
time, and when he had finished, she
'shiutup the trap and fastened it on the
inside. It may be as well to stater - that
Mr. .gotclikiss spent 'the ,rest of the
night sitting on the roof, with his trail
ing garments of the nightsfluttering in
the clvening, breeze;. singing, "im so
lonely to-night." Mrs:

Thrilling Incident.
An incident occurred during a Ma
sonic excursion on the Mississippi,
which cool and chivalrous Knight Tem
plarship alone caved from proving fa
tally disastrous. One of the excursion-.
ists tells the story ta mla
It was a magUificent sight to see - Our
immense boat, accompani e d by the La
dy Gay and the Belle of Axton, their
decks crowded with fair ladi tq an d
Knight Templars, bands of music, di a .
tinguished citizens and invited guests;
as they steamed up the Mississippi,
then down to the Jefferson. barracks,
where we all went on shore to spend a
pleasant hour, after which we again
went on board and steamed merrily up
the river.
I was • standing near the captain.—
The Commander of the Temp Jars came
and leaned wearily on the capstan. I
turned to Reuben Milton and whisper
ed in his ear these words " That man
was born to command." He had the
form of a Hercules, the head of an A
pollo, and the eye of an eagle, and, as
circumstances afterwards demonstra
ted, the heart clf a lion. Although not
so very large, #e appeared larger than
he really waste was full and athlet
ic, and still every proportion was a
symmetry and every movement a grace.
While he was still leaning silently,
on the capstan, and while I was yet,
analyzing his fine countenance, the
captain of the steamer, with pale lips
and blanched cheeks, approaehed the
young Templar and in a low and trem
bling Voice'saidi: •
" Great God; Or, we are sinking. • We
are snagged, in the • bottom, and no
thing can save Us
"How/long can you keep her afloat ?"
carelessly ifiquitd the young Templar.
" She may go own in live minutes ;
she cannot keep afloat more than •111--
teen,y replied the captain. ,
" Do not make your situation known
to any one except your crew, or we will
have a panic, and then all will be lost,.
Signal the Lady Gay to lay to ; none
will notice or uuderstand the signal of
distress. Get your crew and hands rea
dy to move; I will manage the rest."
" Blow, Warder, blow l" said the
young Templar, speaking to his ensign,
who stood near him, at the same time
leaping upotr the capstan.
Every olie was Startled by a %rill
blast froth I the warder's trumpet.. A
hundred Templars' swords leaped from
their - seabbards at the blast.'
"Attention ! Sir Knights,? . ? shouted
the young Commander. "The next
ceremony in the programme, is for the
Sir Knights, ladies and gentlemen on
this boat to make a visit to our friends
on board the Lady Gay. As thesteam
ers are rapidly approaching each other,
and cannot' be kept but 'a minute or
two together, this movement must be a
rapid one. You will form in procession
at once, and as the boats come together
pass lover the gangway. and under
arch 'of steel, to the lower deck of the
Lady Gay. Forward, Sir Knights, to
the 1 gangway. Music in frOnt. The
band will play Ihe 'Knight Templars'
Quickstep.' " ,
In obedience to these oiders, the
Knights formed a• double line to the
gangway, facing around, with swords
crossed above the heads of those form
ing.9lo. procession.
In less than eight minutes the whole
precious cargo of human life had passed
from the Mississippi to the Lady Gay,
even to the colored cosh, except the two
tiles of Templars, when the young com
mander said :
" From the rear right and left, in
ward wheel. March I" And, Sling
Inward, the Tefnplars rapidly passed
over the gangway 'to the Lady Gay, the
young Commander being the last to
leave. One minute more, and the Mis
sissippi steamer sank to the bottom.
The Curse of Divorce. •
. Ilusba4 and wife, for some twenty
years, lived Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Bar
rows; children born to them, and• un
der their protecting care, grew up ; Lou
ise, to the age of 17; Inez, to the age
of 16 ; Eliza, to the more tender age of
9. , For a long time, for what we or the
dull world knew to the contrary, the
union was happiness—the household,
peace. Latterly, however, things went
awry ; and after a series of connubial
1 0,
infelicities, t e origin or duration of
which we kno not, resulted in a di
vorce being g anted the wife, by the
district court of May last. - Without
discussing the causes , bearings, or mo
ral deflections of this case, suffice it to
say, certain prOpe4y belonging to the
family homestead was adjudged to the
wife, and the care and protection of the
children to the husba.nd. Possession
of the children had not been obtaineld
by him at the opening of the Novem
ber term of the same court this week.
Yesterday Judge Richman issued a 1
mandato requiring the mother to deliv
er up the children, their clothing, their
books, &c., to the father, without hin
e„,,,
dranc -, nd place it in the hands of the
Sheriir. Deputy Field, the father, and
one or t o others, went to 'the family
residen e last evening about 4 o'clock
and ma e the pleasant demand. The ,
object o the mission was explained.—
The mrer, dumb-stricken wi!la
of the law, smothered• her deep glan
guish, a d yielding to the ,supr m c
e\
a breaking heart; theArau li
ters, refusing to be taken from t c he s
ternal bosom; gave vent to the• wildest
and most passionate grief, protesting
their abhorrence of the proceedings.—
But law,,which sees no tears and heeds
no agoniZing cries, must be vindicated.
The officer, sad at heart, performed his
_duty ; the ties of human life andnaa
ternal communion were snapped; mo
ther and daughters,agonized beyond the
Tower of pen te depict, were separated ;
the latter takenaway, perhaps, forever.
The youngest was not to be found. The
father and the two eldest left ',,the city
last night by boat; the daughters, un
willing prisoners, bowed down' with
blighting grief, to go among strangers,
out into the world.—crod.knows where 1
It may have been for the best. The

"Cousin Lucy," said Minnie May,
"I do wish I could be in your class."
"Why, Minnie, you have a very dear
teacher. I am surprised that you
would want to leave her even for me."
"My teacher never talks to us)" said
Minnie, lifting her eyes to her cbuein's
sweetface, "She hears our lessons and
explains to us what they mean, 4 but it,
seems as if it were all about somebody
very far away, and, we didn't have
anything to do c'ith it. Then she uses_

"I'm really afraid,.dear, that you and
Lena are naughty girls, and don't try

what your idea of talking, is ?"
"Why—why--4I can hardly explain,

around you when you begin, and they

they cry, and you keep telling them so

Well, I can tell you two things you
might do. Next Sunday, suppose you
all talk to your teacher, not about her
self, but about the dear Saviour, and in
the meantime you might all pray as
earnestly as possible that. God may
bring a change into your glass, And,
Minnie, if he don't Ige e zn. to hear you
right away, keep on praying."
Minnie's observation set me to think

remember having heard of a teacher
who used to draw a long breath when
her daily school duties were over, say
ing; "Now I can let myself down,"
implying that she had been painfully
standing on a pedestal all day. This
is the way, alas! with some really con
scientious teachers iu the Sunday.

I rememeber thapparent painful
condition of a soldier whose right leg
was draWn up at an , angle from the
knee—the result of rheumatism, he in
sisted. He was known-tOe a skulker,
and several ' surgeons hlexamined the
limb and fpund no appea ance of con

efforts to put it into shape were useless.
Some of them becoming convinced by
the stubbdruness of the member, in
sisted that[lt could not be fixed, and
advised the man's discharge.
"I understand perfectly well the na
ture of your difficulty, my man," said
the doctor. "It is a species of sciatica,
and I can cure it by cauterization.','
"What's that," the victim asked in
distrustful wonder.
"Cauterization ? I Oh l , that'S- merely

"I don't want to," the shirk stam

the doctor's irons and his teeth chat

a bit of good."
"Mount that table, of I'll have you

and the poor wretch' obeyed with
groans, not yet quite certain that this
extreme was really to lie resorted to.
"Strip off that -leg! hitewaru, bring

JOLY ELOPEMENT.—The wife of a
farmer residing near Buffalo recently,
became so much enamored of a cow ,
doctor, who went to attend to her hus- i , .
baud's cattle, that she proposed to elope
with him to a distant State. He in
fornied the husband about the matter,
and,'very much to his surprise, the lat
ter told him to gratify her little whim.
It was 'then arranged that he should
meet her

When you rise in the morning, form
a resolution to make the day a happy
one to some fellow creature. It is easi
ly done : a left-off garment to the man
who needs it; a kind word to the sor
rowful; au encouraging expression to
the striving ; trifles, in themselves light
as air will do it, at least for the twenty
four hours ;
and if you are young, de
pend upon it, it will tell when you are
old`:—rest assured it Will send you gent
ly and happily down the stream of hu
man time to eternity.
By the same simple arithmetic, look
at the result: You send one, person,
only one, happily through the day—
that is three hundred and sixty-five in
the -course of a year; and supposl4
you live forty years only, after you
commence that course of m•dicine, You
