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.

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. One Aould faucy that ou that

would be perfectly Bafe from annoyauce or ^
molestation of any kind; such was not the ^
case.
For a few weeks past, whenever she ventured
out aloue, she was followed and accoS*

forty-five years old, wearing the rod ribbon ^
of the Legion of Honor in his button-holo.

fulsome, complimentary stylo, would thrust ^
his face under her bonnet, would go a few

the young lady. Iler tormentor never made ^
hi? appearance when her brother was with &
her, or when there was a policeman within

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- ^

As ho stooped to pick it up she followed up
her advantage, raining blow after blow up- Q

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. The girl has been dead
oiiio six mouths but still his grief remains

A SAD COURT SCENE.
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

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. Davis was a
grocer hut had sold his stuck and was
about to go to Chicago.

Thomas Guard was pastor at the time of
his death. 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

hitches, and ut one poiut the pastor was
obliged to ask the congregation to rise to
contiuue the service. Dr. Fulton spoke of
the objection to the ritual which hud been
made by some, and said that if, after a fair
