^musing grafting. : A LESSON FOR SUICIDAL LOVERS, j, Richard Gould is a journeyman harness I maker of this city, says the Cincinnati Ga- j lette, of Wednesday, aod was himself harnessed by Cupid, and driven up to the very gates of desperation. His enslaver is a lady na- , med Charlotte Matthews whose mother keeps a boarding house on Elm street, aod who j appears to have made up her mind to sorao more brilliant alliance than that offered by Mr. Gould. But as Richard has a very good opinion of his own merits and qualifications, be judged that Charlotte's coolness was mere coquetry, believing that when it came to the scratch she would cave in at a moment's warnHe resolved to meet at once the soul of i the artful nymph, and to surprise her into I - - n if _ I aa avowal of her real feelings, f or tms | purpose, he proceeded about twenty min- j utos past five o'clock yesterday afternoon, to the dwelling of Mrs. Mathews, and stretched himself out upon the front door steps, holding in his hand an empty phial, npon which he had pasted a label, upon which "strichnine" was printed. "Now, there will be an affecting sceoe when my captivating Catherine comes out;" soliloquised Mr. Gould, as ho closed his eyes and composed bis features to a corpse- j like immobility. "" Presently Miss Matthews appeared at the door, with a broom in her hand for the purpose of sweeping the steps. On seeing the recumbent Richard, she utterred an exclamation of surprise, and tried to stir him up with the broom-stick; but finding that he did not move, she called out, "M >thcr, mother! here is Dick Gould coiled up on our steps, and I don't know what ails him." "Dead drunk, I guess," said Mrs. Matthews, as she also come to the front door.? "Now, I do declare if he hasn't kicked the bucket in reality," said Miss Charlotte, spying the bottle, and taking it out of Richard Gould's hand. "See, the fool has been taking strychnine!" "Poor soul!" sighed the benevolent old lady* "bow natural he looks!" "He looks about as well as he did wheu he was alive," observed Charlotte, "and that's not saying much of his beauty. He never could'hold a candle to Jimmy Hickman, at any time." This Mr. Hickman is 1 a spruce young clerk who boards with Mrs. Matthews, and who happened to come home at the very juncture. When he saw the supposed corpse, James offered to go for the coroner, to hold an in- ' quest over "the poor devil," as he called Mr. Gould. "Well, I don't like the notion ' of having coroner and jury over a fellow ( here" said Mrs. Matthews. 1 "No," added Charlotte, "just drag the nasty creaturo on the cellar door of the next ! house, snd then wash your hands and come into supper." 1 Mr. Hickman took the corpse by the feet, to do as he was directed, when Gould dealt ' him a kick which doubled him up like a jack-knifo. The ladies shrieked, and Mr.. 1 Gould, starting up, was beginning to upbraid Charlotte for hardness of heart, when the j arrival of a policeman interrupted his oratory, J and he walked away, "a sadder and a wiser ' man." IMII f GOOD JOKE ON TOOMBS. < A correspondent of one of the New York 1 papers says that Senator Toombs made a speech last summer to a large crowd of his ' constituents, which he wound off in the fol- * lowing ridiculously boastful style : t "Now, fellow citizens, I have responded to your call. I have fully and clearly ex- ' plained to you my opinions on this subject, t and if there is a man in this vast assembly s who disputes my conclusions or denies my i promises, I should like to see him. Let him rise up and object to anything I have said if . he can! I defy opposition ! I challenge . debate!" *' Having thus challenged the whole world j and the rest of mankind to a forensic encoun tcr, he took his seat with an air of triumph ^ that Napoleon never manifested and probably never felt. He was for ? moment loud- ' ly applauded, but as the applause died away, a rough-looking eountryman, full six feet high, iD his shirt sleeves, in the outskirts of the crowd stretched himself at full length j j and said: . "Colonel Toombs?J am no orator, and I'm not a gwine to try to make a speech a- *' gin a great man like you. You remind me j'. of a young mule I was trying to break ye3terday moroin'. "It was a long time before we could get ' him out'n the stable. Just like it was a long time before wc could git you to speak. Af-1' tor working with him an hour or two, we ! slipped a rope around hi3 neck, and after a | *( whilo another one. I put two negro fellows to hold the ropes, and I opened the stable j ! door, and out he comes a raring and a nitch- 1 . II ing. lie rared'and pitched, and tore around j with the niggers a holding of him for a while. ! Presently he began to kick and to squeal, and ; ^ he kicked aod he squealed, and he squealed j aDd he kicked, until everything was blue ; 11 and his eyes looked like they'd pop out. and j , to save my life, Colonel, 1 couldn't tell wheth- j er he was kicking at his squeals, or squealing at his kicks! Your speech, Colonel, reminds me of that mule?" |' COUSINING. Wo think it about time to again put the ! i following good story in citculation : j < A country gentleman, several years ago, ,< visited Bostoo, and immediately repaired to i the house of a relative, a lady, who had mar- I ried a merchant. The parties were glad to j i eec him and invited him to make their house J < his home (as he had declared his intention 1 cf remaining in the city but a day or two.) J ] The husband of the la^iy, anxious to show attention to a relative and friend of his wife, ; took the gentleman's horse to a livery stable l in the neighborhood Finally, his visit be- i came a visitation, and the merchant, after i the lapse of eleven days, found, besides lodg- ! iug and boarding the gentleman, a pretty < considerable bill had run up at the livery 11 stable. Accordingly he went to the man who i kept the stable, and told him when the gentleman took the horse he should pay his bill." 'Very good,' said the stable keeper; 'I understand you.' (1 Accordingly in a short time, the country j gentleman went to the stable and ordered 1 his horse to be got ready The bill of course < was presented. '0,' said the gentlemaD, 'Mr. , my I relative, will pay this.' ] 'Very good, sir,'said the stable-keeper; i 'please to get an order from Mr. ; it i will be the same as money.' i Tbo horse was put up agaio, and down t went the country gentleman to Long Wharf, j? on which the merchant kept. 'Well, said he, 'I am going now.' 'Are you ?' said the merchant. Well, j' good bye ' ' Well, about my hor.se; the man says the bill must be paid for his keeping ' Well, I suppose this is all right, sir.' i Yes.?well, but you know I'm your wife's < cousin.' _ i Yes,' said the merchant, 'I knowyou are, i but your horse is not!' j ? i MUSK IN A MICHIGAN" TAVER^. , A short time since a gentleman and lady j were traveling in Michigan, and having miss- < ed the stage, were compelled to take a pri- i vate conveyance from the town of Scuderi ! to Thomastown. The lady had with her j a beautiful little lap-dog, which she carried j on her lap on an embroidered mat. During the ride the husband discovered that he had ; on f h o1 !i n r l o n t. h i m h ers. uu iiaiiunoivinvi f?nv?? ???v ? , , which was fashionably scegtcd with musk. J About half way between the two towns the j carriage broke down in the midst of a hard j rain, and they were obliged to take refuge , in the half-way house?a "one hocse" log tavern, consisting of two roorrs?a bar-room < and a lodging room. The lady laid her lap- [ dog on its mat before the Ore, and herself and husband took seats. It. a short time the gentleman had an occasion to nse his hand- ( kerchief, and took it out, leaving it lying on j his knee when he got through with it. In | a few moments the landlord opened the ( door, put his head in, looked around and went out, came in gazed at the dog?his nostrils all the while upturned in intense < disgust. lie finally appeared satisfied, went ( to the outside door, opened it, came back , with a bound, seized the lap dog by thotafh, and hurled hint howling through the door i full ten rods into the forest. The wife fainted ; the husband rose to his feet, terribly < enraged, and wanted to know what he did i that for. "That's my dog," continued he, | furiously- "Don't care a cuss whose dog it is," said the man, gruffly and impetuously; "I ain't going to have no such blasted smel- i ling varmint around ray tavern." The husband and wife evacuated tho house instantly, < and proceeded on their way in the ruin. ? i A Distinction and a Difference.? A magistrate in Southward, Philadelphia, , was greatly puzzled a short time since with , the following item in a bill, on which he j was about issuing a summons: 4 To stealing one axe 87 cents.' . 4IIow is this, sir,' said 4old frizzle wig' ] with indignation, 'd'ye charge a man three j levys for stealing his axe ?' j I do that sir, said the plaintiff, submissive- ( [y, 'and very reasonable it. is.' s 'Reasonable ! you villian, don't you know | it will take you to the State prison V s 'Bless my soul !' exclaimed the alarmed suitor, 'do you call that jest?' ( 'No, I call it earnest; and so you'll find , it unless you <:ive Mr. Robinson his axe again. | Why, I was done with it, and guv it to ( him two weeks ago.' f 'Then you may thank your stars he did aot prosecute you!' ] 'Prosecute me! I outrht to have sued j .lira before; lie was werry provoking when ] [ ax'd him for the money, and wanted to , 'ub me off with a quarter and fip.' ' Put him out,' said the justice to a cun- ( -table, he's the most, barefaced rascal that I ( ;ver met with. Stetd a man's axe, and f xants to be paid for it!' s 'The constable hinted that his honor had , nistaken the case. It wu3 for stceliny the ( ixc, that is putting steel on the edge of it, a hat the charge was made. 2 'Oh, ay sure enough', said the squire: t see what it is to want education. Never , nake out another bill Mr. Bellows, without j t dictionary at your elbow. It may get you L nto prison before you know it.' , A friend of mino has a negro?Jack s the name he bears?who, not long sirwe, 1 oined the Methodist church. Well, Jack ^ eemed to be very devout; he would often ^ cave his work in the day time, and, stepping Ir >ft in a good shady place, would there pray | * o his heart's content. And with all his ' jrayinp, he never seemed to think his pray- * irs would avail him much unless lie closed r hem with amen. J There was rather a mischievous bull in \ he neighborhood that seemed to delight in ' laving every person nfraid of him, and ma- j ^ cine them heel it whenever he met them.? j' Tack, one owning, went out to pray by the ! s iido of an old clay roof, and there he was go j ng on at a great rate, and making great mo- ' " tons with his hands and head, as negroes 1 graying are wont to do. Old Spot came ' tearly upon Jack bef>re he saw him, and r Jack having his eyes closed of course could j int. see his horned enemy. Old Spot, seeing * Jack's motions, concluded Jack was for a ^ ight, and ho commenced likewise; he was r pawing the ground considerably, and when : v ie brought out the first bellow, you may well i r magine Jack did not stay long in his bend- |r ;d po-ition, but jumping up before he had ; ime to say amen, went for a high fence not j'* far distant [Some go a great ways to get a j ^ lor//, but he heeled it to avoid a couple of j' wtrns.] After jumping the fence and seeing f liin-f lf all right and safe, he turned round ,'J :o old Spot, who was pawing at a terrible 1 rate, ami very indignantly says Jack : "Now. you Gaul dam oI<l spotted old var- i * aiint,all dat prar habfo be prayed oberagain.' j * Arkansas Eloquence.?An individual,! rery appropriately named "Leipcr," lias re-'/ gently delivered an address, before a female ' seminary, likewise very appropriately loea-'t :ed at "Tulip."

THE MODERATE DRINKER. BY ANNIE. J( One of the most deadly blights which rest ! upon our fair country is the practice of mod- r ?rate drinking. It is more deadly i'i its [ influence thau the fatal cholera, which ! j spreads terror and desolation wherever it joes. It robs manhood of all that is manly . . . 5 and noble, brings him who indulges in it, to an untimely and often to a terrible end. Mr. Perry was a young man of much jf promise. His countenance was one which'at- I tracted the admiration of tho-'e with whom j < he mingled. In address, easy and graceful, I ? Kty. Ih I, in conversation, pieasant aim ii^ruciun., ma . ( presence was ever welcome in the circle in | which he moved. Many were the friends which' he possessed. But, as the most beau tiful flower, may sonictinles have a worm concealed among its petals, which, unless j removed, will destroy its beauty, and bring ' it prematurely to the ground", so he had one 1 fatal error in his character, which was destined to bring him to an untimely grave ? 1 Fie loved the social glass, in other words he ' was a moderate drinker. Ilia friends saw his danger and often remonstrated with him, j but in vain, he could ?ce no harm in his oc- ( casionally taking a drink, and he would have resented it as an insult, had any one told him that he was in dajpger of becoming a drunkard. ~ * IIis gentlemanly deportment procured Tor him entrance into the society of the wealthy 1 and refined, nod there he won the affections ' of a young lady, of superior intellectual en dowment8, and many personal attractions, i whose family were wealthy and aristocratic, ' some of them occupying important stations in life, and she was an idolized child and sister They were married. For a' tfirte i their lives flowed smoothly and happily along. Her prospects for future wealth and ( happiness were good, anc no one-thought of , predicting aught but eminence and prosperi ty for him. ^ A few years have passed ! the prattle of children is heard in his dwelling! but the ' worm has been at work. The anxious look of his wife tells truly that nil is not right ? 1 Ah, she has discovered that her hpsband, he 1 for whom she left'houiCand friends, he who vowed to love and cherish her through lite, is a moderate drinlccr. In vaiu she pleads with him t.? renounce the wine-cup forever, she tells of the danper which he is in, but lie only lauphs at her fears. Like the pay party in their pleasure boat, who were drawing near the fearful maelstrom which would ;npulf "forever, he sees nodunper. ancMauphs it the fears of those who would win him from the fearful vortex which he. is sj fast lpproacoinp. A few more years have rolled away with heir precious opportunities, pone, never iiorc to return. Oh, who shall tell of the jitter disappointment of the hopes deferred, )f the weipht of anpuish which hearts may suffer in the space of a few short years. Apain we will enter the home of Mr. Perry, preat has been tli? chanpes which lave taken place in his once happy home.? Death has been there and taken l?i*? cViil-" Iron, am] only one now remains. The little Nettie. God in hi?, tender mercv spared her 0 "hidden the heart of her sorrewinp molhir. Nettie seemed too fuir for earth, none law her without remarkinp ber bcajftv. and ;he was possessed of a depreeof inteffipence. arely, I had almost said, tievcr seen in one if her ape. Amonp her playmates she was 1 favorite Nettie's step was the most lipht. ind joyous, yet her blue eyes would fill with ears of sympathy wlieD she saw those who vere sad and sorrowinp. Such was the remainnp child of Mr. Perry. His wife seemed rreatly chanped since we last saw her. sadiess rested upon her brow, deep sorrow had mtered her heart, alas, she knows now too ruly that she is the wife of n drunkard.? Sut the preatcst ehanpe is to be seen in Mr Perry himself. Ilis countenance has lost f nuch of its manly beauty, his friends seem o repose no confidence in him, lie can no t oncer properly oe caiieu a moderateurunrcr. > dueh of his time is now spent, in the bar- <S com, while his home, which shrrnld be the ( nost sacred place on earth, is neglected.? vind friends would have gladly taken to o heir'liomcs his'unhappy wife, but she re- k uses to leave him, nothing can wring from 1 icr one word of reproach against him whom t he promised to love through life. 'Tis evening, she sits awaiting his rufurn. t nd her thoughts wander back to the happy v lays of her youth, in fancy she is again a iuppy child. She is aroused from her revc- ^ ie by Nettie's voice saying sadly, "Mamma, am so sleepy, I do wish Pappy would come. ^ damma, what makes him stay a way so long? iVhy don't he come home and talk to us and mt leave us alone ? he did not use to stay a- C ray so. don't he love you and me any more ^ nammu?" The agonized mother could not eply. But I will not longer dwell upon these c cenos. in vain are all the efforts to win him '' rom the dangerous path which he is in, he ? leeds not the entreaties of his. friends, and a hose who ?trove to bring him to the feet of 0 Fesns, were received with scorn and concmpt. o One evening after having partaken freely t vith some of his boon companions, he turns ti 0 leave them, but receives a fall down a t1 light of steps, i" taken to his home, aod in r 1 few day? he is a corpse.
