PROMISING TO MARRY THE GIRL. . We yesterday heard rather a good story on one of onr city ministers. During last winter a revival was in progress in one of our country churches near the city. Among the regular attendants on the meeting was a beautiful and estimable, but rather unsophisticated young lady, whose friends were very anxious to have her unite with the church. She seemed, however, reluctant to do so, and the minister in question was requested to 'talk to her.' This he did several times, on one occasion saying, in a jocular manQQ TLf if it/mi urill Irtin "v*? ""Bu *** ? " J V? J-.? Church, I'U marry you," meaning he would perform the ceremony. . The girl seemed pleased with the proposition, and a few evenings after walked np to the altar and united with the church. Several weeks after this the minister preached at the church, and, after services met the young lady. - "Brother?said she, "you know you promised to parry me if I'd loin the church. Are you going to do so: I don't want to wait any longer." The minister saw his dilemma and attempted to explain. "I meant I would perform the ceremony," he said, "that's all. I can't marry you myself, for. I am already married, and love my wife too much to desire to swap her off for any other." The young lady became indignant, declared that she'd leave the church; that she "never did have much faith in those town preachers." Our ministerial friend declares that he will never again use any other than jdain sqriptqral argument to induce a young lady to join the church.?N. Albany Commercial. ' '' * >' - M t Sensible to the Last.?It has long been observed by medical writers, that death is preceded by insanity?a fact which had occasioned the remark that when folks got madder, they were about to die. This reminds us of a case which occurred many years ago in a Philadelphia court, wherein a pretty young widow was in danger of losing two-thircis of her husband's estate? his relatives grounding their claim on the alkged insanity of the defunct. It may be as well to premise that the presiding judge was not only convivial, but also very gallant. "What were your husband's last words ?" inauired the attorney. The pretty widow blushed, and looking down, replied: "I'd rather not tell." "But, indeed, you must, ma'am. Your plaim mav bp ripridpri hv it." j^till Mushing, the widow declined to tell. At last, a direct appeal from the. bench elicited the information." He said, "Kiss me, Polly, and open that other bottle of champagne." We know not whether it was admiration for the deceased husband of the living wife that inspired the judge at this instant, but he at once cried, with all the enthusiasm of conviction: "Sensible to the last!" tfg- A lady correspondent of the Milwaukee Sentinel, writing under a nom de plume, who had attracted considerable atten 1 ? - * ? iion, received a note trom a gentleman admirer recently, in which the writer said that a lady who could put such beautiful thoughts on paper must be equally gifted in person, etc., and wanted to meet her by moonlight alone, to which she wrote a consent. She came to the rendezvous veiled; they walked, he talked, he made love; finally she consented to take a little kiss, the veil raised for the purpose, and the stricken gentleman gazea upon the comely features of his own wife! "My son," said the elder Spriggles to his junior, thinking to en ighten the boy on the propagation of the hen species? * "My son, do you know that chickens come out of eggs?"

The Montgomery Picayune contains an ' interesting account of Lee's surrender from which we take the following: "Every now and then we see in our exchanges erroneous descriptions of the surrender at Appomattox, and how General Lee stood and surrendered under an apple tree?how General Grant admired General Lee's beautiful sword, and returned it, remarking that Lee was too brave a man to be without a weapon, &c. Gehtle reader, none of these things hapa /"I T 1*1 . AT 1 .1 . penea. tren. Jjee aia not oner nis swora to Grant. Grant did not admire the weapon and return it. If our readers will bear with*la,%? will give the surrender as we saw it. General Lee, reviewing the hopeless conflict from a distance, dispatched a flag of truce to Gen. Grant, the struggle ends, and the hostile lines are drawn back. While this correspondence was going on, and while Gen. Lee was waiting the arrival of Gen. GranV-Ee took shelter from the sun under an apple tree in McLane's orchard, under which Colonel Talcott, of the engineer corps, had placed some rails for a seat, and fully half a mile from Appomattox. Gen. Grant's arrival on the outskirts of the army was soon announced. Lee, in a full suit of gray, with his English sword girded to his side, rode forward on his way to meet Grant?he was a warrior to whom history itself might stoop to gaze. The interview between the opposing chieftains was severely simple, but few attendants present. It took place between the pickets of the two Armies And lasted onlv a few minutes.? Grant apologized for not having his sword, which was behind in the wagon. The terms were agreed upon, and Lee rode baok to his army. Commissioners on either side were appointed to arrange details. The surrender became known; and then, to us, for two days a blank. Lists of our names were made out, and two days afterwards, with heavy hearts, we filed by, a brigade at a time, before a line of captors, and deposited our banners and arms. General Lee rode homeward on the third day and all was over." How to Find Speech.?Mr. L affronted his wife, who, to punish him, resolved to act dumb whenever, he was present, and so well did she maintain her resolution, that nearly a week passed away, during which not a word did she utter in his presence. She performed her household duties as usual, hut speak she would not. He tried to coax her out of her whim, but in vain. At last he tried the following plan [ to overcome her resolution, by working on ,her cariosity?the most ungovernable of female propensities. Returning one evenI?? r L:_ 1 . u:? lug iruui uib ewpiuyuieut, uis mujr dm there as usual, mute. He immediately commenced a vigorous search throughout the room. The closet was examined, the bedroom, drawers, boxes, shelvesj every thing that could be thought of was overhauled. His wife was struck with astonishment at his unaccountable behavior, and as he proceeded in his search, she became nervously anxious to find out what he was looking for. What could it be ? She looked in his face to glean, if possible, from his , expression, the object of his search; but no no, he was sober as a judge. He lifted the , edge of the carpet, looked under the table cover, and finally approached her chair? looked under it, and even went so far as to brush her dress partially aside, as if what \\a Kn tKnra SKn AAillrl Bf.fl.nf] lie ov/u6u. v~w v. ? it no longer. She burst out: "Bob, what are you looking for?" He smiled, and answered, "Your tongue, and I have it." 1 . ? ? AN EXPERT DRUMMER. A correspondent writes : "A very curi- 1 oua performance presented for the amusement of the people of Berlin, Prussia, is 1 the drum concert of the celebrated drum- . mer, Mr. Julius Weiffenbach, on sixteen drums, with forty eight drum-sticks. Sixteen drums are placed on iron supporters, in two rows. Those at both ends are placed a little higher, so that the double row of drums form an arch. The artist shows first his skill on a single dram, and I never suspected so much music in that single instrument. The orchestra commenced then to accompany Mr. Weiffenbach's play on the sixteen drums. To describe it is quite impossible. The artist seems almost frantic, and his movements would honor an acrobat. Without interrupting the tune for a single moment, he throws his drumsticks about in all directions, catching them ' again. In the same manner he catches ' those thrown to him by his attendant.? Having concluded this wonderful athletic musical performance, the artist again shows his skill on a single drum, which he places i on the back of a chair, catching drum-sticks with still greater dexterity than before. In fact, the sticks are continually flying in the air, so that you get quite dizzy with looking at them." Origin of Mahogany Furniture.?A West Indian captain about the begining of the eighteenth century, had brought some logs of it as ballast for his ship, and gave them to his brother, Dr. Gibbons, an eminent physician, who was then building a house. The wood was thrown aside as too hard for the workman's tools. Some time afterward his wife wanted a candle-box. The doctor thought of the West Indian wood, and out of that the box was made. Its color and polish tempted the doctor to have a bureau made of the same material, and this was thought so beautiful that it was shown to all 0 _ _ - _ his friends. The Duchess of Buckingham, who came to look at it, begged wood enough to make another bureau for herself. Then the demand arose for more, and Honduras mahogany became a common article of trade.?Dickens All the Tear Round. Seeing is Deceiving.?Here is a row of ordinary capital letters and figures: SSSSS XXXX ZZZZ 3 33 3 8 8 8 8 They are such as are made up of two parts of equal shapes. Look carefully at these and and you will perceive that the upper halves of the characters are a very little smaller than the lower halves?so little that an ordinary eye will declare them to be of equal size. Now turn the page upside down, and without any careful looking, you will see that this difference in size is very much exaggerated?that the real ; top half of the letter is very much smaller i than the bottom half. It will be seen from i this that there is a tendency in the eye to enlarge the upper part of any object upon i which it looks. We might draw two cir- j cles of unequal sizes, and so place them that i they should appear equal. MtfU* j EXPELLED FROM SCHOOL. George Somers had too much principle for falsehood, and thought it not best to a tell the whole truth, and was, therefbnej r dismissed from school in disgrace. Hitherto his character had been beyond reproach, ti but now a dark stain rested upon it which u he either could not, or would not wipe away.

That very evening tu there was a sound of steps on the gravel . walk, and the good man entered the c<ft- th tage. George grasped his proffered hand p] in silence. s re "Did-you get that blacfc eye, George in pi, trying to defend my property ?" th "I did?I did indeed, sir," sobbed the boy. tei "I believe you," was the kind reply, dr and now, my lad, you must follow my di- pli rections. I have been all day prying into th this matter. A boy was seen to enter the be school-room, and twenty minutes later to to emerge from a back window.

From time immemorial the princii gency by which the earth has been cul ated has been by horses and oxen. Until within the past few years no pri teal efforts hare been made to perform t ork by steam power.
