^rawing gfaitiitg. j. !< COING HOME WITH A GIRL. 'Jeems,' the local editor of the Baldwins- , ville Gazette, is something of a wag. In a i recent number of that paper he gives an ac- j, count of "the first time he ever went home with a girl,' which is certainly the richest j thing we have ever seen. As he thought proper to chronicle it for the edification of the public, we give it the benefit of our cir- , culation: We were between sixteen and seventeen , years of age when the event about to be re- , lated transpired and as a description of our , personal appearance at that time is absolute- ( jy essential 10 me puiui ui uui aiuij, *c mu ; give it as concisely as the subject will allow. , In reference, then to that period, to say that ( we were green in the usual acceptation of that term, would give the reader but a poor idea of the figure we displayed. Rather . imagine a tall, lean, cadaverous, swarthy looking chap, with legs like a pair of tongs, , a countenance about as expressive as a plate ] of Dutch cheese, a mouth that came very near making an island of all the head above it, a face, covered with a furze that looked , very much like the down on a newly hatched j goslin, with a gait that would lead the beholder to conclude that we designed to travel down both sides of the street at the same time, and you have a correct daguerreotype of <Jeems' in the seventeenth year of his age. One dark gloomy night in the month of December, we chanced to be at a 'spelling sohool' not a thousand miles from Baldwinsville, where our eyes fell on a 'fairy form' that immediately set our susceptible heart in a blaze. She was sixteen, or thereabouts, with bright eyes, red cheeks and cherry lips, onKnrn rinnlats olnafprpri in a I VTUAftW VUV; "UWUiU wealth of profusion around her beautiful head, and her person to our ravished imagination, was more perfect in form and outline, than the most faultless statue ever chisseled by the sculptor's art. As we gazed, our feelings, which never before had aspired girlward, were fully aroused, and we determined to go home with her that nit/ht or perish in ihe attempt. As soon, therefore, as school was dismissed, and our 'lady love' suitably bonnetted and oloaked, we approaahed to offer our services as contempl ted, and we then learned an important lesson, viz : the difference between resolving and doing. As we neared her we were seized with a partial blindness?red, green, blue, and yellow lights dashed upon our vision and appeared and disappeared like witches in a phantasmagoria? our knees smote together like Belshazzer's when he discovered the handwriting on the wall, while our heart thumped with apparently as much force as if it were driving ten- < penny nails into our ribs. We, in the mean time, managed to mumble over something s which is perhaps known to the Recording Angel, but certainly is not to us, at the same time polking out our elbow as nearly at right i angles with our body as our physical confor- I mation would admit. i The night air blew keenly which served i in some sort to revive us, and as our senses i returned, what were our emotions on finding i the cherished object of our first love, cling- < . It .1 . . 1 1 ing to our arm witn an tne tenacity a arown- i ing man is said to clutch at a straw! Talk 1 of elysian, or sliding down greased rainbows, < or feeding on German flutes, what are sich 1 'phelinks' in comparison to those mighty s ones that swelled our bosom nigh unto the I bursting of our waistcoat buttons; Our ! happiness was sublime, sublimity, sublimity, sublimated, and every person who has ever felt the divine throbbing of a fledged love 1 principle, fully understands the world of bliss coached in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh words at the commencement of this sentence. Well, we passed on pleasantly towards our ' Sally's home, talking of dove and dove, and dart and part,' until, so courageous had we become, that we actually proposed 'to go in and sit awhile,' to which our Dulcinaj very graciously assented. Alas, for us! how soon were we to be reminded that the 'course of true love never did run smooth.' Sally had a brother of some ten summers ; who accompanied us along the way, and who was in wonderful high spirits at the idea of his sister's having a beau, and he would walk aronnd us frequently, giggling in the 1 height of his glee, and eyeing us as closely 1 as if ourself and Sally were the world re- , nowned Siamese twins, and he was taking his first look. Bill, by the way, was a stubbed, ohuokle-headed boy, whose habiliments would have made the fortune of any two dealers in mop-rags. At length we reached the bars, and while we were letting them down, Bill shot past us, and tore for the house as if pursued by a thousand bulls of Basham. He flung open the door with a bang, and exclaimed at the top of his voice? 'Mother! Mother! Jim Clark is cumin' hum with Sail!' 'Is he ?' screamed the old woman, in reply, (ical I declare! I didn't think the saphead knew enough!' How to get rid of rats.?There is o rvnmi/t VimiQP on ho Sf .Tohn no llo,I Ttot ? |/UWi?V UWUUV VM V U V K/V? WUU VUilVVt XVUV Tavern. The name originated thus: An American was travelling up the river during a thaw in winter, when snow and water were very nearly knee deep. Late in the afternoon he came to this tavern, cold, wet and hungry, and called for dinner. He was told rather roughly by the landlord that the dinner hour had passed, and he must wait till tea. He then asked for a cold lunch, as he was fast and hungry. After some grumbling, this was brought od. The stranger ate and asked for his bill 'Fifty cent,' was the reply, in a growling tone. 'Dinner is a quarter, but lunch is out of season, and you must pay fifty cents.' The traveller paid the bill and sat down to dry himself. Soon a cheese was brought in by the maid, very much mutilated by the rats. The whole race of rats received a volley of abuse from the enraged landlord. "And why do you keep rats ?" said the Yankee. "I can giveyou a receipt that I can warrant you will keep every rat* away." "Ah! and how much will you charge?' '0, about fifty cents ' The landlord, somjwhat complacent, returned the half dollar; 'and now,' said he, 'for the receipt.' 'Well, sir,' said the Yankee, 'whenever a rat comes to your house cold, wet and hungry, give him a cold lunch and charge him half a dollar, and I'll be bound he'll not come again.'?Eastern Star. . ( A Domistio Revolution.?'Matrimo- i ny,' said a modern Benedict, the other day, 1 'produces remarkable revolutions; here am 1 I, for instance, in ten short months, changed ; from a sighing lover to a loving sire/ f; A Good 'Un.?Wo heard the other day a capital anecdote of a witty clergyman of thia city, who it i9 said, never comes off second best in a jocular encounter. As one day he was passing down one of the streets of a large village in this State, where he was settled, he was observed by 3ome waggish hangers on at a public house which he was approaching. One of these fellows, knowing that the Rev. gentleman was a 'hard case' at a joke, said that he would bet the drinks for all hands that he could head Mr. H . 'Done,' was the response from a number. As Mr. H. came opposite to the merry group, the proposer of the bet called to him. Mr. H halted md drew near, whereupon the confident chap thus addressed him: Mr. H , we have a dispute here of some importance which we have agreed to leave to you as one competent to give a correct decision.' < Ah, what is it ?' 'It is in relation to the age of the devil ?will you tell us how old he is ?' ' Gentlemen,' said the imperturbable minister, 'how could you presume me to be acquainted with a matter of that sort, you must keep your oxen family records.' The minister went about his business, and the vanquished gentleman went in and bled freely.?Nashua Oasis. Tricks of Trade.?There's an awful nigger in the Montgomery water-melon trade! Its horrible, the way he contrives to get his finger into the eyes of his cullud bredrea! Mow, for example, about some weeks ago, when musk-melons were in season, this black green-grocer one morning was negotiating a sale to rather a smart darkey wno was trying desperately in the transaction. Said the seller? 'Now, de way I sells dem mush-million to everybody else is two for fifteen cents, but since it's you,' and here the black scamp assumed a most confidential and insinuating tone, 'I'll let you hab thre ob'um for a quarter.' This very particular friend bit, a transfer of the property at once took place, and the purchaser walked off, but had not gone half a square when something appeared to have worked through his wool, for back he came to the wagon? 'Look here! How dat ? Tree for a quarter ! dat more dan two for dime an' half! Gib me back my money!' 'Nebber corrects mistakes, sar!' said the trader, as a crescent shaped eruption of ivory traversed his sable mug from ear to ear.?Montgomery Messenger. Very Touching.?Here is a touching description of a moonlight scene: After whirling some time in the elastic mazes of a waltz, Cornelia and myself stepped out unobserved, on the balcony, to eojoy a few of those moments so precious to lovers. It was a glorious night?the air was cool and refreshing. As I gazed on the beautiful being by my side, I thought I never saw her look so lovely; the full moon cast its rays over her whole person, giving her a most angelic appearance, and imparting to her curls a still more golden hue. One of her soft hands resting in mine, and ever and anon she met my ardent gaze with one of her pure confiding looks. Suddenly a change came over ber soft features, her full red lips trembled with suppressed emotion, a tear drop rested 5D her long drooping lashes, the muscles around her faultless mouth became convulsed, she gasped for breath, and snatching her bands from the warm pressure of ray owu, she turned suddenly away and?sneezed ! 5*2?" A dry old crust of a fellow, who was unhappy with his preacher because the 'dry vine,' as Carlyle would call him, could not penetrate the thick ligament that covered the crusty man's soul, signified to the minister his desire to have a pew nearer the pulpit. 'Can't you hear?' asked the good man. 'Yes,' was the reply. 'Can't you see?' 'Yes.' Then why do you change ?' 'Because,' said the obdurate one, 'I am so far off, that when your words get to me they are as fiat as dishwater.' J5?- A friend of the late Dr. Maginn, dining with him, was praising the fine flavor of his wine, and begged to be informed of the merchant's name. '0, I get it from the London Tavern, a house close by, just as I happen to want it,' replied the host. 'Indeed,' said the other, 'a capital cellar unquestionably ; but have you not to pay a rather extravagant price for it?' <1 don't know?I don't know,' returned the doctor; 'I believe they put down something in a book.' A Self-Sacrificing Friend.?Two blackmen were drinking porter out of the same pot. The first drank a little, and smacking his lips, cried, 'hum, 'tis berry good;'the second drank to the dregs before he cried 'hum.' This astonished the first drinker, vwVirw fin/)mrv flin v\r\f omntn obIta/5 V*t*o Lie n uu uumii^ vug j/uu aoagu iuuo vi uio companion, 'Why de debil you no cry hum before dis ?'?'Oh/ said the second, 'I hab heard dere is poison at the bottom of the cup, so I drink him off for fear him hurt my friend.' I?* Unsophisticated boy?'Mamma, papa is getting very rich, isn't he ?' Mamma?' I don't know; why, child ?' Unsophisticated boy?'Cause he gives me so much money. Almost every morning after breakfast, when Sally is sweeping the parlor, he gives me a sixpence to go out and play.' Sally received short notice to quit SGF' An editor got shaved in a barber shop lately, and offered the darkey a dime, which was refused, because, said he, "I understand you is an editor?' 'Well, what of that?' 'We never charge editors nuffin !' 'But such liberality will ruin you.' 'Oh, nebber miod, we makes it up off de gemmtn !' J6?*The following is too good to be lost.? A lady, formerly a resident of Georgia, very much discontented with Mississippi life, and longing to return to her native land, was shouting at a camp meeting last year, and becoming so exclusively happy, that she exclaimed, 'Glory to God ! I feel like I was in Georgy!' 'Hans,' said a Dutchman to his urchin son whom he had just been thrashing for swearing at his mother, 'vat's dat you're Linking so vicked apout in de corner dare V 'I aint tink not'n.'
