Hunter & Co'b. 113 ,f> tf ^1 T A LETTER FROM AUNT MAUNDY. My Dk.vr NicckI've been thinkin about you nl! this blessed livelong Jay. I heard thin niornin (hat you was goin to marry soon, and I sposc that's the reason that I've been thinkin about you so much to-day. Well, a few minutes ago, says 1 to myself; "I've lived a long, long time, and had lots of ups and downs, and have seen heaps ot trouble, and likewise a smart chance of pleasure in these low-lands of sorrow ; and if I can do my Fally any good by tellin of my experience to her and advisiu her, I sliapt regret tho ups and downs I've seen, but will be mighty inppy if I can be of any use to her." It's a inightie solemn thing to git married?a I mighty solemn thing, my dear. None but them that has tried it knows how ^>lemn it is. But solemn as it is to git married its a thousan 1 times solemner not to git married. To go pokin through this world a tattlin, snarlin, envi ous, cross grained old maid, is almost one of the awfulest, saddest and most solemn thiugs that can possibly happen to a poor onfortunate lemale in these low-lands of sorrow. All old maids, however, arc not the wicked, ugly, snnrlin critters ftborc referred to. Lots of 'cm as the world calls old maids are sweet and pure, and kind and lovely, and society couldn't do without 'em no way it could be fixed. The world would be ruined and have to close up business and go into mouruin if they all would take a notion and git married right away. Hut I'm not much oncasy on tlint pint, for all of 'cm is not a goin to git married for some tune to come ? not for a month or two at any rate. Hut lots and cords of 'em belong to thosnarlin, crossgrained gang and I'm afraid you would be one of that kind; your chin, and nose and eyes, nnd in fact your whole face has tho exact expression of a cross old maid. It's a solemn tiling not to git married. There's Jane Handy, for instance' as sour as vinegar, as cross as a scttin hen, and & regular kill-joy in the neighborhood. I can remember when she was thought to be one of.tiie best and sweetest gals iu the village ; but now she is never satisfied; if people do well she envies 'cm and tries to break 'em down, and if they are onfortunatc she docs all in her powar to increase their misfortunes. Nobody would once have thought that she would have turned out sich a crooked stick. Jim Varner and her was mighty taken with one onothcr ; they was engaged to be married, and the weddin day was s t and every tiling was fixed, nnd all seemed to be goin on as smooth and as calm as a May mornin, when all of a suddent Jim packed up and went off to furin parts, nud nobody ever knowed why for. Jim has never been soen or heard of in these parts from that day to this. Jane she took on mirrhtilv anil wn ?...! out of her uiiud Tor a long lime, au" evcryou ty thought she'd die, but she didn't, she got well, but she was a changed critter and never ha< been like herself since. I think all the love, and good* ness, and sweetness, and milk of human kindness was driv out of tier heart when Jitn Vnr. ner wont off and left her and disappinted her in sicli a cruel manner, and I often says to myself, says I, "June Handy would doubtless have been a very different woman from what she is, if Jim Vnrner and her ha 1' married." I never see Jaue hut I says, "It s an awful solemn thing to be an old tnaid." Well, Sallie, my dear, I am glad, monstrous glad, that you're goiu to git married, but I want you to be sure and begin right, and keep right. Don't have too fine a weddin. Let your weddin be equal to your means. A dwarf may imagine he is a giant, and try to make other peoplo think so too, but he can't do it, for no matter how grandly he struts about every body will know he is only a poor little dwarf, and he wil' be the only oue that is fooled nft2r all. The other birds know'd the Jack-daw though he was dressed in the peacock's feathers. You arc poor, and the fellow you're goin to marry is not nun, nun cvvryuouy Knows ir, Ho you needii t try to make people think you're Letter oflf than you are, by bavin a fine weddin, for you can't do it. They'll come and eat your fine fixing, and Irink your wine, and laugh and joke, and be mighty perlite, but they'll be laughin in their ilceves at you all the time ; and as soon as your [jack is turned they'll call you a fool for tryin to Fool thcrn by goiu beyond your means a fixin up x fine weddin. When Hill Sikes and Ann Jones got married i was there, llill is a carpenter and Ann is the darter of a poor farmer, but, from the way they was rigged out and from the fine fixius they had an the table, you would have thought lie was a Turin priuco and she was the favorite darter of John Jacob Stewart, or A- T. Vanderbuilt. l'eopla all laughed at 'em and callod 'cm fools, and the pour foolish oritters had to scrimp mighty hard to pay for it all, and ore no happier and no more respected thau if they had been quietly married at churoh, and gone quietly home and used the money that they spent or, the tine weddin in startin to housekeepin. I've knowed lots and cords of people who had more friends on their weddinday than they ever had agin. They wore finer clothes and had better things to eai than they ever did afterwards, mm incjr tvin iiiijijiitT uii umiuny iiiiiuiiiuy ever was in all (heir lives again. Hut some people seem to think that they wouldn't really he married unless they had a big weddin.? They begin life by overdoin ihe thing and, ten to one, they'll keep on in the same foolish way until they lose their friends, their oredit, their character, and everything else, but poverty and want, and a house full of children. Uegiu right, my dear, and keep right, and you'll be sure to end right, no doubt about that ?none in the world. 1 know ihatyuur friend and soboolinatc, Fanny Frey, had a grand time when she got marriedShe had a tine dress all puckered up in the ucwcst fashin, and she was ablaxe with gold, and jewels, and dimopds, and other fine things' and she had her weddin supper cooked in the city, and the tablo fairly groaned beneath the ponderous weight of good Ihiugs. O ! 'twas a grand affair. Hut her father is a inillonyer, and <jan afford to give her all Ihe fine things she I warts ; but you can't afford it, and your pa can't .. juu nxciupk iu mtve aicn a nne wcddin us Fanny had you'll suffer for it, mark j my words, somewhere nlong the linn of your married life you'll suffer for it. The money spent in tryin to equal Fanny will go a long ways towards givin you a start in life. Take my" advice, my deat, and don't try to git ahead of your means at the start?tlflic enough for that bye and bye. There's old uncle Eli, when ho married, him nml aunt Betsy was both mighty poor, but they kuowed it and acted like sensible folks. They knowed that poor folks couldn't do like rich folks and hold out at it very long, so they didn't try, but tlicy started at the foot of the ladder and worked their way up. They didn't have a big wcddin and spend all they had in ntakin a fino show, but tlicy was quietly married and went home and went to work. Uncle Eli was ablacksmith, and he work, ed early and lato, and auut Betsy was n mighty workin woman too. She d card and spin all day , and till as late at night as she could hear the bellows roar and the anvil ring. Well, they gradually riz in the world until tin>v <r.,? ?>? J mighty well to Jo. They started right, and kept right, and canic out all right at last. I know some of their offspring that didn't do that way. They begun by havin big weddins and grand , houses, ntid fine things, and livin ahead of their i means; and they've ended by comin out at the little etui of the horn. llcgin right, my dear. Live within your means ^ and keep out of debt. You may not have fine j things like your neighbors, but you can look the world square in the face and say, I'm my own mistress, I'm out of dent. ^ j lie workin, he savin, keep your home, though ( | it be an humble one, bright and cheerful, nnd keep out of debt, llegin right and you'll likely keep right; and if you are poor you'll be happy, ^ happier may-be than some who hold their heads mighty high and put on lots of airs. I Your lovin Aunt. MAUNDY IIUNTKR. ? " " r A Plucky A.mkuican (Jiul.?I recent- j ly heard ol an action on the part of a young American girl toward a French woman insuiter which has filled my soul with admi- 1 ration aud delight. The young lady in question, who is a refined, modest and highi bred young girl, is staying with some uiern u bers of her family at one of the prominent A hotels ou the Avenue do 'Opera. As her dress aud maimers are alike uuobtrusivo, she has never hesitated to go out alone J] whenever business or inclination impelled . her to do so.

For a few weeks past, whenever she ventured out aloue, she was followed and accoS* Q ted by a stylishly dressed individual, about forty-five years old, wearing the rod ribbon ^ of the Legion of Honor in his button-holo. Vt This persouage would not only follow her, ( hut would address her, in language of the fulsome, complimentary stylo, would thrust ^ his face under her bonnet, would go a few steps in front of her, and would thcu ^ look back, and leer at her, and, in fact, he conducted himself in the manner that a well bred Parisian gentleman usually q considers proper to assume when he meets ^ an jnprotccted young girl.

Iler tormentor never made ^ hi? appearance when her brother was with & her, or when there was a policeman within .... . 01 hailing distance?on these occasions he jc kept discreetly out of the tvay. Finally, the other day, the affair cauic to j! a climax. The young lady was returning to her hotel about 3 o'clock iu the afternoon , ' 81 when her persecutor made his appearance and began tormenting her as usual. The hunted girl, worrieJ, wearied and ezasperated, was at lust wrought up to the highest p pitch of indignation and nervous excitement. Chancing to pass a cab stand, by a sudden j impulse she snatched one of the drivers w whips from its socket, and turning on her tormentor she cut him sharnlv anrmw the .. face with the lash. Heing taking by sur- ^ prtso he started back aud let fall his hat.? p As ho stooped to pick it up she followed up her advantage, raining blow after blow up- Q on his head aud shoulders, so stunning and bewildering him that he was sonic time in j discovering bis lost headgear, every moment ^ of which she employed to the best advautugc.

A Father's Love.?Hartford Conn., ipril ID.?.V case of peculiar interest has ist become known in this city, and its Irunge features illustrate what the morbid nd Slrs7%Jgar Brewer, of East Hartford, ist a belovkd daughter who was then about G years of ago. Si terrible was the fathr's grief that he could not bear the thought i muing away mo rom iins or ins lovely hild in the cold earth, and therefore he roenr^d the services of a Hartford undertkor, who prepared the body so that it rould koep, and it was then placed in tateio the parlor of Mr Brewer's rcsidenco. ivcry few days the undertaker calls at the ou.se, iuspects the remains and sees that II is right for their preservation before ho ikes his leave. Perhaps the strangest part of this pecuar case yet remains to be told, for every ight, after the hour of midnight has tolled. Ir. Brewer rises from his bed, dresses imself and proceeds to the parlor below, hero lor the remainder of the night he olds vigil with tiie embalmed body. lie Jdrcsscs the inanimate form with all tho ndeuring expressions that can come from a iving hourl aud with the teuderuess and . . allies of one who is addressing the beloved ving. As the rays of early dawn beg n to reep into the room through the closed auttcrs, the grief stricken father leaves the )oui to seek his. bed and repose, i Those uightly vigils have boeu kept up incoasingly siuce the death of the daughter. Ivery attempt uiado by neighbors and icuds to induce Mr. Brewer to bury his aughter have proved uuavailling. aud his ife, who has suffered greatly by his strange, juduet, has used every persuasion possible i .i?l . i* .. ...... ut he declared that lie will never bury < is darling daughter, and that he will forver keep her by hint, where he can see her 1 ightly. Hut, tiuatly, persuasiou prevailed and he as consented to inter the body, but will uild in it is yard a vault which will couiluuioatu with the house, so that caeli night e can watch by and talk to his daughter. It seems that wheu 011 her dying bed he girl expressed a dread of being placed a the earth uud her father told Iter that he should not be so buried. When the ault is built the reuiaius will be placed here aud thus the girl's dying wish kept acred. lh# oonditct ol Mr !,rower is woudcr? ally strange.

When Hon Philip ]{. Thompson, o Kentucky, killed the seducer of his wife ht surrendered himself to the court in liar rodsLurg, and in doing so made the follow ing touching statement : "May it please your Honor, I know it is not customary on occasions of this kind for the person appearing before the court to make any statements of the facts, but I deem it duo to myself, the position I occupy, the community in which I have lived so long, and who have so ofteu honored uie that I should say something in reference to this unfortunate affair. I need not point to my long life aud unblemished character for honor before thin poopla ?? a juat.iCUiaj.iou of what I do, but I do feel that they should kuow from uie, or hear fr.mi me, a portiou at least of the his story of the caso. Last December, being called to Washington by the duties growing out of my position, I was accompanied by my wife to Cincin" nati, and being anxious to get to Washington as soon as possible, I left the city on Monday the same day of uiy arrival there, and left her with friends. The next day Mr. Davis, the deceased, came to Ciucinuati, and having mot her unon the street tcrcd himself at a hutel, and learning from her and the lady who accompanied her that she was stopping at the St. Clair Hotel, he f. Mowed her there, where he registered himself again under an assumed name, and took a room. He then took her out, and, having pli-d her wbh drink against the protest of her frieuds, until she was utterly besotted, well knowing her iufirmity in that reg rd, continued his application until ho carried her to his roam, debauched her, uiado her the victim, in her uufortunatc condition, of his degraded lust, then turned her out to wander where she would until picked up by the night watchman and carried to her friends. Having accomplish cd uiy dishonor, ho left the house before breakfast. While L had been inf rmcd before of some of the facts rcluting to her intoxication, aud that he was the cause of her public exposure nn 1 degradation at the b tel, I did not know the extent of the wrong uulil on Tuesday night last, as I {SKSjJfW.'cn l?t?A%iar#PWi8f my family. I do uot believe that I will receive the ceusurc of this people, vfcut whatever is the will of the euurt I will bow to aud bear with, as becomes a good citizen. This has broken up and destroyed my home relations, my peace mid happiness. My daughter, dearer to me than all else on earth, is iiu exile from home, an outcast from soci cty. She hassobbed herself to sleep on my bosom uudcr this great calamity, put if which she only kuew. This blood is but a foeblc atonement for her tears, and if l.e had a hundred lives all of theui would uot r.i ?i. i.v-- ?-- ?-- * ..wuw ?vi v....7 ^i?ui. wtwug. rur me lira* time, thin morning I mot him, ami I fool that I diJ what every man who lias u homo which he loves, and a daughter dear to him, would do if lie has the courage to defend thorn from wrong. In this I expect and feel that I will receive the sympathy of the good and virtuous, and now submit to the action of tho court." There was a profound aileron in court and few dry eyes while Mr Thompson was speaking. Judge C A Hardin said : '"It is perhaps improper in me, occupying the position of Judge, to express to Mr. Thompson the sympathy I feel for him as a man. Under my official duty I am compelled to hold hiui to answer any charge the graud jury may God. I will allow liiui to give bail in the sum of $5,000." Bail was immediately given. There is intense sympathy for Mr Thompson, though Davis was very popular. Davis has a wife rwwl ntiUran U ~ 1.. ? >?! old, and Mrs Thompson is 40. He was prou.iueutly connected. His widow is stepdaughter of < lov Robeson, of Georgetown, Ky. The case went to the grand jory to-day. Mr Thompson is a native of Hurrodshurg, and is 38 years of age. lie is by profession a lawyer. He was elected to the Fortysixth Congress and was re-elected to tho Forty-seveutli Congress as a Democrat, receiving 14.249 votes, against 12.004 votes for Fry, Republican.

The llev. I)r. Fulton, formerly of St. Louis, is his successor, and he has led the new movement, which has resulted in the iutroJuctiou of a ritual somewhat i on the Episcopalian order.

Each separate homo has been likened to a central sun, around which revolves a happy and united baud of warm, loving hearts, acting, th inking, rejoicing, and som wing together, Which member of the family group can say, "I have no influence ?" What sorrow or what happiness lies in the power of each! "A lighted lamp," writes M'Cheyne "is a very small It)wig, ami it liurns calmly ami * ' . M| arc within the house. And so there is quiet influence which, like the 11 nuu of a scented lauip, fills many a home with light and Ira. granee. Such an influence has been beauli. fully compared to a carpet, soft and deep, which, while it diffuses a look of ample comfort, deadens many a creaking sound. It is the curtain which from many a beloved form wards off at once the Summer's glow and the Winter's wind. It is the pillow on | which sickness lays its head and forgets > half its misery. This iofluenco falls as the refreshing dew, tho invigorating sunbeam, the fertilizing shower, shining on all with the mild lustre of moonlight, and harmonizing in one soft tint many of the diaoordant hues of a family picture."
