HERSELF TIIE "COURSE OF LOVE:" IN MISSOURI • Out in the old Lehomme road, not a hun dred miles from this city, lives Mrs. Over plus Ilempbale, a very worthy and very wealthy lady. made a widow by the careless shooting of some Federal soldier, who drop ped the worthy Overplus Noronhale while he was manfully striving, for his rights in company with old Pap Price. Mrs Hempbale has a daughter Laura, a fair young girl of some 19 summers, and pas sessed of a wartu,susceptible, but true heart, and who. much to her aristocratic mother's disgust, lately conceived a violent passion f..r a young house carpenter in this city, la• militirly known as Jack Plaine Now Jack is a gay, dashing young fellow, working like a steam engine when he does work, and sprecing equally as hearty when he is "on it," very likely to catch the fancy of a warm hearted, and blooming young girl like Lau ra, but not calculated to suit an old lady's idea for a hu'band. So Jack, after the first visit was peremptorily forbid the house The aspect of "our domestic relation" did not meet with approval from 'either of the two young folks, and a rebellion, to be pros ecuted covertly, was agreed upon instanter Sundry clandestine meetings had been ar mnged at a "friend's" house in this c ity, Which seemed to work pretty well, but at last the old lady got wind'of the matter, and utterly forbid Miss Latin from leaving the house. A month or - two slipped by, ~ --tend mother supposing the foolish attachment had . worn off, relaxed her vigilence, or seei.- ed to, yet all the while keeping a prcty t i.. sharp eye on Laura. After a while she d tested certain movements and praccedin that led her to suspect that Laura was in, communication with Jack, and she resolved to resort. to a ruse of some kind to ascertain what shape things were taking,.; but before she had quite determined what manner of/ proceedings to adopt, she was informed by a neighbor 'that Jack and Laura had arran,g, ed a plan of elopement. Her mind was quickly Marie up. She annnuneed to Laura_ the next morning that. she Was going to Bell vile on a visit, to be gone three days, and that she most be a good girl and not tear the house down while Are was gone. That night Jack knew 'of it,and as he read the nioe,little note that had bade him •icome over early and stay until mother coineS hack, and what a splendid time we will have," he smiled, kneeked the ashes off from his cigar, and resolved "of course be would " Jack went over, but there, is no earthly use in our attempting to describe the delec table things he eujoyed; it was sugar season on that plantatina aura.

Go into the kitchen and see about the b fist !" Then preasautly; "Jack, 1s ay Jack !" Jack came forth with a very "son ic-law lookish" air, and answered, "Well, madam, what is it ?" "Jack, do you know anything abeut . a farm ?" "Not to speak of, marm." "You can read and write and cypher, I suppose ?" • , \ "Nothing to brag of., marm." "Well, at any rate, Jack, I think that af• ter breakfast you and Laura may as well go down co the city and get married, for \ I'm tited of watching you, that's a fact." The Railroad Engineer One of our raiiro4d enkinoers, sonic years since, was running ao express train of ten well filled ears. It was in the night and a very dark night too. His train was behind time, and he wasipltLil,gttLee_tagin.c---1 , • u most, Epee o which it was capable, in or der to reach a certain point at the proper hour. He was running on a straight and level track, and at this unusual velocity, when a conviction struck him that he must stop. 'A something seemed to tell me, said he, 'that to go ahead was dangerous, and that I must stop if Iwould save life. • 1 looked beck at my train and it was all right. I strained my eyes and peered into the darkness, and could see no signal of dan• ger, nor anything betoken danger, and there in the d.iytimc I could have seen five miles. I listened in the working of my engine, tried the water, looked at the scales, 'and. all was right I tried to laugh myself 'out of what I then 'considered, a foolish fear; but like Banquo's ghost, it would not go down at any bidding, but grew stronger in its hold upon me, I thought of the ridicule I would have heaped upon me if I did stop; but it was all of no avail. The conviction—for by this time it had ri pened into a conviction—that I must stop grew stronger, and 1 resolved to stop. I shut off, hiew the whistle for brakes accordingly, I come to a dead halt, got off and went a head a little without saying anything to any body v hat was the matter. I had a lamp in my hand, and had gone about sixty feet, when I saw what convinced me that premonitions are sometimes possible I dropped the lan tern from my terveless grasp, and satdown on the track utterly'unatile to stand.'

'MS? husband never spends his even ings at hove,' it is natural 'to inquire within one's Self' why. it is that Mr. Purple finds oth er resorts eeimuoh more attractive than the household altar ! -1 1 - d&ft - ste - wlry-he-nara-be_a doriiestio,' says ,11rs.'Purple. Well,' why is it • There is a reason for everything in the :wnrld,- says philosophers, and , ' there , must be a reason for this. ':ln•tbe first place, Mrs. Purple is one of those unfortunate housekeepers whose work is never - done: . There is always something dragging—a room to be swept , lamps to be trimmed--fretful-babies-to be put—to ,sleepi while one eye is on the broilingliaeat and the other on .the muddy footprint unwittingly left by -Mr. Purple on the doorstep. 'There Purple, I knew just bow it ;would be. I. wonder if you know the use of a scraper or a' door mat. I should -think-. l after. all the time I've spent in cleaning up—' . And 'Mrs. Purple goes off into a monoton• ons recapitulation ofber• troubles and trials that has the effect of a lullabY upon the ba 'by, however trying it may be to the feelings of the baby's father. Moreover, Mrs. priple, with all her celeati- I ing up,' does not understand ,The elementary principles of keeping a home neat. Things are alwaysi 'round in the way;' table-covers put on awry; dust ashes / under , the grate; curtains torn away from their fastenings and pinned up until Mrs: Purple can 'find time' to readjust them . Somehow it looks forlorn, and desolate, and.unhomdilike when the mas ter of the house comes in at night. Mr. Purple, man-like, can't t 11 where the defee li.on lies—he don't analyze the chill that comes over his heart as he crosses the thresh hold—he oriii , knows that 'things don't look ship-shape !' And so he takes his hat when his wife's back is turned and sneaks igno-• miniously off, glad to get away from the dead-alive fire, the dusty room, and Mrs Purple's tongue. Who can blame the man ? Mr. Purple may be 'lazy, and 'careless,' and, 'selfish,' very likely he is---rnost men have a tendency that "way—but nevertheless h e don't like to be told of it aver and over a- ;vim-in - that persistentTi*.W sort of may that reminds you of an old hen running froM side to side in her coop, and poking her head through the bars in the same place every sev en seconds ! Mr. Purple naturally wonders why his Wife don't occasionally allude to the good qualities he happens to possess ; Mr Purple has every inclination to be happy at home, if his better half would only give him a chance. Of all the sweet-tinted pictures of domes tic happiness that we find in the pages of I[oly Writ, there is none that suggests more comfort than Abraham sitting in his tent door 'in tha heat of the day' under the shad ow of the pam trees of .Mature. Depend up on it, the good old patriarch never spent his evenings away from home. He didn't be lieve in 'just going across the plains to Lot's house,' or 'running over to Sodom to hear the news.' No, Abraham liked to sit quiet ly by his tent door, and very likely Mrs. Sarah would come and lean over his shoul der and chat with him after the Oriental fashion 1 We have the very best of testimo ny for knowing that she was very aimiable under the ordeal of 'unexpected company,' when 'the calf tender and good' was dressed, and the 'three measures of fine meal' baked on the hearth !

If you want to surround a young men with the best possible safeguards, don't ovorwhe!m them with maxims and clin ilies as to what he is and is not to do, but make his home happy in the evenings.

As Abraham pitch ed h:s tent in Bethel, so does an Arab sheikh now set up his camp; as David built his pal ace on Mount Zion, so would a Turkish pasha now arrange his house; in. every street may be seen the hairly children of Esau,siquating on the ground, devouring a mess of lentils like that for which the rough hunter sold his birth-right; along every road plod the sons of Renhab, whose fathers, one thousand years ago, bound themselves and theirs to drink no wine, plant no tree, enter within no door, and their children have kept the oath; at every khan young men sit around the pan of parched corn, dipping their worrel into the dish; Job's plow. is still used, and the seed is still trodden into the ground by asses and kine olives are shaken from the bough as directed by Isaiah; and the grafting of trees is unchanged since the days of Saul.—', The Syrian house is still, as formerly, only a stone tent, as a temple was but a marble tent What iveen now iu Bethany may be taken is the ezNA likeness of the house of Laza rus. where Mary listened and Martin toiled,/ or as the.house of Simon, the leper, whorl the precious hoa of ointment was broken, and whence Judas set out to betray his Muster bieleente Al! the Year Round. A mon in Cincinnati adopted an ox•igiUal way of reducing household expenses. One morning, when he knew•his wife would/ see him, he kissed the servent girl.

To abuse therie men is the test of the loyalty Mr.—Johnson—pre— scribes They are both men of ability and unblemished private character.

We must all' I be radicals or reconstructed Rebels. I pre fer to side with the former class. On the negro suffrage question, I have on ly to say that, for the Tresent, I am willing to be content with the privilege given them to testify in the courts. I differ from Pres ident Johnson on this subject. II says he is in favor of allowing negroes to vote who can road, who are worth 8250, who: babe been in the army; and of gradually extending the right of suffrage to all. It was through his influence that we succeeded - in passing the negro testimony bill through our Tennessee Legislature. He wrote, letters, sent tele grams, asking members to support the bill. It was through his help the bill became a law. Ho went further than I ever did. I want them to be qualified first;-it willcome in time. They voted in Tennessee prior to 1832 I have some secrets to tell of the freed men's bureau bill.

This is a secret, hut true, I;arn iu favor of the test oath, and don't wantlit repealed. and it won't be, thank God! There are crippled rebels in 'Washington who want to govern this country, nod I am opposed to letting them in They wouldn't help govern the country. President Jo son can't carry a single State south of Ma son's line but Kentucky, and I wish he would carry that State to "hell." They had forty papers in Tennessee, and but seven of them are loyal.

Ragusa - of the - Deep Four hundred years ago there . flourished a city on the shores of the Adriatic, num bering many thousands, filled with churches and abounding in wealth, but remarkable for the wickedness and cruelty of her people.— They excelled the world in burning heretics,, and persecuting miginaters of new ideas.— Sudienly an earthquake sunk nine-tenths of their city more than a hundred feet below the level of the sea. The waves of the A driatic closed over the spires, palaces and prison houses, and nothing was left of RA GUSA but a wretched scattering of suburbs Peasants even to this day have a marvelous legend, They say it went down so etraight that scarcely a wall was broken or a steeple prostrated; that the wicked inhabitants had charmed lives, and are still under the do minion of Neptune, following old pursuits all unconscious of the world about them.— As the Dal matian fisherman sails his shall op over the quiet sea at eventide, looking down into the still blue depths, he is startled by. the hum of strange voices rising from the streets of this city of old—strange, voices Shrieking, imploring, cursing, in a dead lan guage, but refusing to be hushed, even in 3eath. In this upper world twelve genera iitions have passed away, kingdom and dy nasties have risen nod fallen, the musket and bayonet have supplanted the spear and bat tle axe, the cannon, the battering-ram,knowl edge has triumphed over force, and the fires of bigotry are extinguished. Italy is free. But dawn in the magic streets of the subma rine city, all the habits and customs of the middle ages are yet maintained.

This disguise unloosed the latch strings to their secret thoughts; and there after he heard not one loyal word, except when, in pursuance of his duty, ho was with our own officers. The most malignant dis loyalty, the most vindictive hatred, the fier cest., though suppressed, ,determination to hide their time, yet wreak revenge, was everywhere made visible to the man whose color and assumed relation made them con fident of sympathy'. While Gen Grant was making his trip to Montreal, it was currently reported at 'Alan , I chaster, N. IL that he would pass through that city, over the Concord railroad. So the waggish ticket-master at that station inform ed a few friends one morning that Gen. Grant was expected on the afternoon train.

Trees are usually grafted in April or May, but they should not be pruned at that time. There are two or three sound reasons for this. 1. The Sap is thin, and will run outovhieli injured the tree. 2.

'Can you, ah, tell me, doctah, how far they have succeeded in extinguishing the confla gration of the, ah, unfortunate yeoman's barn.'
