%v&ixm f itMltpcer. An Editor at a Fancy Sail. Tbe editor of the Vicksburg Times re? cently attonded a fancy ball, and thus - narrates his experience in learning to waltz : On account perhaps of the manifold duties always pressing upon us, wo have nover learned to waltz?we have never placed our arm around a fragile, fairy, fleecy, fluctuating form, and wbirligigged '?round loose, but at the grand masque ' rade and fancy dress ball on last Tuesday Bight, we happened to express our re? grets at this deficiency in our education to a young, plump, fresh, and olosely dominoed Injun girl, while we were prom onading the vast hall with the luscious hurapsy-dumpsy. She sweetly intimated that tho hubbub iof. such an occasion, when a faux-pas wonl'l scarcely be noticed, was tho very best timo in the world to learn. We would not acknowledge our name, if wo bad backed out from such an offer, and as a matter of course, we very shyly re? quested her to afford the sublimely per? pendicular pleasure of a small lesson, merely for the purposo of gotting ac? quainted with each other, and giving us & relish for our victuals at supper. Sweet and gorgoous aborigine?without swear? ing ane'd ne'er consent?she consented? dry so. Gently, delicately, fastidiously, and timidly we placed our arm around her plain waist?and almost wasted away. Her long, raven locks tickled our elbow. Thousands of spotted beads vibrated and tinkled about her fairy form as her bosom rose and fell to give them melody, like an iBolean harp upon the heaving sea. Her hand was in ours?as soft as a pussy cat's back, as she silently watches a mouse hole at tho calm and witching hour of twilight. Her left foot was against our right boot. The gaudy feath? ers upon her moccasins tickled our man? ly knees. Our eyes met. Two soft and melting glances shot out of the two holes in her domino, and two soft and melting fiances shot out of the two holes in our omino?and coming together in tho mid? dle emitted sparks like the R. E. Lee rounding to at "William's wharfboat on a dark night in the latter part of Decem? ber. Music aroso with its voluptuous swell and drew nearer unto us, and we arose with our voluptuour, swell and drew nearer unto the female red man. Her Warm breath was upon our cheek. Her spotted beads tickled our flngors, and her long raven hair went flippy-ty flop over our shoulder. "We had not yet waltzed an inch, and wo didn't care a Confederate bond if we never moved from that spot, till tho editor of the Vicksburg Scrald joined the Sons of Teraperanco. We shook back our yellow locks, and immediately tho air was laden with tho balmy odor of Martha Wash? ington Hair Restorative, for eale by Har daway & Co., and all respectable drug? gists. We bowed low our editorial head, and whispered in a voice whose dulcet and mellifluous notes would have melted I the heart of a deputy constable: "Gor? geous child of the forests, whose ances? tors discovered Columbus, would we were a glove upon that hand, that we might touch that check?would we were a pair of moccasins upon those foet, that we might caress thy corns?would we were a hank of yarn, strung with spotted beads, that we might encircle that form? would we were a large, long bunch of raven hair that we might flop around that neck?-would we were an open barrol of golden syx*up, that thou might dip thy linger in us, and lick it?would we woro a coronot,-that we might rest upon that brow?would wo were a roll of green? backs, that we might stay in thy pocket, would we were a brindlo dog, that we might guard thy wig-warn?would that we wero a big black rooster's tail, that we might dangle near thy face?would we were an Indian Chief." . Thus far we . spaketh, and she sighed. Her ruby lips did part, and she spokoth, "If you are done 'moulding up,' wo'd better let in, for the music is wasting away." Wo let in, and we wasted away. Our two hearts beat with such responsive throbs, that a freased case knife could not have entored etween the throbs. It seemed as if ton "thousand caterpil? lars were emigrating up our back, and little turtle doves were picking meal bran out of. our ears. Huge sighs of tho size of a rutabaga turnip escaped our lips; wo hoard murmuring brooks arid whispering boughs, and warbling birds, and tinkling cow bells, and we fioatod away on a fleecy cloud of one hundred dollar greenback bills. The mu? sic ceased, but the Washington Hall kept on waltzing. The Indian maiden sought her native forests, and we wero carried by our friends to the Times office, with cramp in tho bottom of our feet, and our eyes turned wrong side outwards. -? Josh. Billings' Prayer.?From too many friends, and from things at loose ends, good Lord deliver us. From a wife who don't love us, and frX>na children who don't look like us, good Lord deliver us. From snakes in the grass, from snakes in our boots, from torchlight processions, and from new rum, good Lord deliver us. From pack peddlers, from young folks in love, from old aunts without money, and kolera morbus, good Lord deliver us. From wealth without charity, from praise without sense, from pedigrees worn out, from poor relations, good Lord do liver us. From newspaper sells, from pills that aint physic, from females that paint, and from men that flatter, good Lord deliver us.. From, gals that chaw gum and wears dirty petticoats, and from men who don't love babies, good Lord deliver us. \ From virtue without flagrance, from butter that smells, from nigger camp meetings, from cats that are courting, good Lord deliver us. Trom politicians who pray, and from saints who tipple, and all grass widows, good Lord deliver us. From too many loafers in a print kig office, and subscribers that don't pay, good Lord deliver us. .-O-;-* ? The man who "couldn't stand it aoy longer," has taken a seat, and now ieeJa quite comfortable. "Attempt to Assassinate a Northern Man at Lynchburg."?On Wednesday night a gentleman of cerulean abdominal parts put up at the Washington Hotel, and registered as "Gr. E. Noble, Westfield, Massachusetts." A gentleman from tho same State, at present residing in the city as a banker, and boarding at tho same house, observing his name on tho register, thought that out of courtesy, though a stranger, he would call on him and show him some attention. Accor? dingly ho requested Mr. Davis, the ac? commodating clerk, to go up to the room of the stranger and announce him. Mr. Davis did so; but was met by a positive refusal on the part of the occupant of the room to open the door. Mr. Davis ex? plained, but it was no use ; the gentleman from tho North was resolute; he had no idea of surrendering the advantage he possessed; no bloody rebel was to get admittance into that stronghold except at tho end of a battering ram. Foiled and ropnlsed, the clerk with? drew and reported to the gentleman in waiting below. The latter then deter? mined to try his strategy. He ascended to the bolted Coor, hailed tho vigilant watcher within, and asked for an inter? view. But the new arrival could not bo caught in any such trap as that; he was too old a bird to be fooled with chaff? and the door remained unopened. Tho residenter explained that he was his friond; was from the same State, and only wanted to have a little friendly con? versation with him. But it was no go; that was a vory nice scheme, but it would not avail with him. And the gentleman intent on deeds of hospitality waB, like his predecessor, forced to abandon his undertaking, retire and leave tho stranger alone in hiB castle. No doubt his slum? bers that night were disturbed by visions of bowie-knives and revolvers. What an awful idea they have of the sanguinary rebels up North! The stranger took his departure by the early train the next morning, rejoicing greatly, no doubt, at his hair-breadth es capo from murder, and probably ere now has written for the Tribune a highly col? ored description of "an attempted assas? sination of a Northern man at Lynchburg, Virginia."?Lynchburg Virginian. -c A Beautiful Tribute to a Wife.?I was guided in my choice only by tho blind affections of my youth. I found an intel? ligent companion and a tender friend, a prudent monitress, tho most faithful of wives, and a mother astender as children evor bad tho misfortune to lose. I met a woman who, by tender management of my weaknesses, gradually corrected the most pertinacious of them. She became prudent from affection; and though of the most generous nature, she was taught frugality and economy by her love for me. During the most critical period of my life she rolieved me. She gently re? claimed me from dissipation; propped my weak and irresolute nature; she urged my indolence to all the exertions that have been useful and creditable to me, and sho was perfectly at hand to admon? ish my heodlessrtess or improvidence. To hor I owe whatever I am; to her what? ever I shall be. In her Bolicitudo for my iuterest sho novor for a moment forgot my feelings or character. Even in her occasional resentment, for which I but too often gave her cause, (would to God I could recall those moments!) she had no sullcnness or acrimony. Her feelings were warm, nay impetuous; but she was placable, tender and constant. Such was sho whom I have lost, when her excellent natural sense was rapidly improving, af? ter eight years struggle and distress had boundus fast together, and moulded our tempers to each othor; when a knowl? edge of her worth had refined my youth? ful love into friendship, and before ago had deprivod it of much of its original ardor. I lost her, alas ! the choice of my youth, the partner of ray misfortune, at a moment when I had tho prospect of her sharing my better days.?Sir James Mack? intosh. "The Blessings of Freedom."?The following somewhat overdrawn picture is copied from the New Haven (Conn.) i Register?we say overdrawn, because while Northern men who undertake to ; run cotton plantations may fail in indu? cing the freedmen to remain in their em? ploy, a good many Southern planters aro more successful with the late chattels. But hero is what tho Connecticut paper says : A friend, (and a decided Republican,) who fought through the war, and is now trying to run a plantation "down in Dixie," complains of "the uncertainty of procuring labor,"?that he had hired sev? en different gangs sinco ho took tho plan? tation, "and could not induce any of them to remain long;" that the last ones ho "agreed to pay in advance, week to week, as long as they would remain?which was exactly six days, and the laBt he saw of them, they were marching (Indian filo,) down the road, singing, 'We'll hang Jeff. Davis on a sour apple tree/ " in the full enjoyment of "lifo, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." "We imagine tho feelings of our Republican friend, as be leaned over the palings, and sawhissablo friends "on their winding way," to have been akin to those of Pharoah, when the children of Israel "took to the water," and we don't recollect, at this moment, any one whose faith in "negro equality" deserved a moro convincing shock than his. Ho is now looking for Northern white laborers, satisfied that tho "freed? men" will not bo ready to go to work du? ring the present century. ? The Nashville Union & Dispatch says: The wisdom of the makers of the Constitution is strongly illustrated at the present time. They divided the great powers of government into three depart? ments. Thoy foresaw that one might err wilfully or nnwilfully, and provided that two, with different but equal authority in their sepcrate spheres, should bo left to check the mischief that might follow. Tho President and the Supreme Court stand between the country and danger from congressional usurpation. They will sustain the government, if there bo public virtue enough left to sustain thom. -o ? "I do declare, Sal, you look good enough to eat." "Well, Solomon, ain't I eating as fast as I can ?" replied Sal, with heir mouth ruli THEY AEE NOT MISSED. "They are not missed!" 0! say not so, 'Mid many a festive measure, Where mirth and music sweetly flow, And wealth displays its treasure. 'Round many a firesido's ruddy blaze, In cot or mansion burning, They greet no more our earnest gaze, Nor heed affection's yearning. "They aro not missed I" 01 say not so, A dreary void is aching In the sad hearts we wear below, They sundered in forsaking? A void that never can be filled, And rents reclosing never, Until those broken hearts aro stilled By death's cold hand forever. Their bones may still unburied lie, Nor we their places knowing, And rain and snow may nurture high The grass above them growing; But not by things we can control, Our thanks and love arc measured? There is a tomb in every soul, Where every relic's treasured. -o Two Styles of Baptism.?Poor people have a hard time in this world of ours.? Even in tho matters of religion there is a vast difference between Lazarus aud Di? ves, as tho following anecdote, copied from an exchange, will illustrate : Old Billy G-had attended a great revival, and, in common with many oth? ers, he was "convicted" aud baptized.? Not many weeks after, one of his friends met him reeling home from tho court ground, with a considerable "brick" in is hat. "Hello, Uncle Billy," said his friond, "I thought you had joined the church I" "So I did," answered Billy, making a desperate effort to stand still. "So I did, Jeeins, and would a bin a good Baptist if they hadn't treated me so everlastin' mean at tho wator. Didn't you hear about it, Jeems?" "No, I never did." "Then I'll tell you 'bout it. You see, when we eomc to the baptizin' place, there was old Jinks, the rich old sqUire, who was to be dipped at the same time. Well, the minister took the squire in first, but I didn't mind that much, as I thought 'twould bo just a3 good when I cum; so he led him in mighty keerful, and wiped his face and led him out. Well, then cum ray turn, aud instead of liftiu' me out as he did tho squire, he gave me one slosh, and loft me crawlin' around on the bot? tom like a mud turtle?that's so, Jeems." I -*- j Good Sense.?It will preservo us from ! consonipusness; it will lead us to distin? guish circumstances; will keep ua from looking after visionary perfection, and make us see things in their proper light. It will lead us to study dispositions, pecu? liarities, accommodations; to weigh con? sequences, to determine what to observe, and what to pass by; when to yield. It will produco good manners, keep us from taking freedoms and handling things roughly; will never agitato claims of su? periority, but teaches us to submit our? selves one to another. Good sense will lead persons to regard their own duties, rather than to recommend those of others. -o- I ?"Well." said an old gentleman tho oth? er day, "I have been forty-seven years in business, and can say what very few men can, after such an experience; in all that timo I never disappointed but one single creditor." "Bless me, what an ex? ample for our young mercantile commu? nity !" replied the person addressed; "what a pity that one time occurred. How was it?" "Why," responded tho old gentleman, "I paid tho debt when it became duo, and I never in all my life saw a man bo astonished as that creditor was." ? A fond father, the other day, wish? ing to form an alliance between his stupid lubberly sou and a fine young lady of his acquaintance, sent him to her with the following note: Dear Madam?Allow me to present my Bill for your acceptance. Tho young lady sent the spooney back to his father with the following reply: Dear Sir?Your Bill is vetoed. ? A western local lately lost his sweet? heart, but he says he has all that made her lovely. lie has her curls, her frizzle, her waterfall! He has her spiral palpi tators, her store teeth, and her calves. He has put all things in their order?has them hung on wires?and intends to put up something in tho fixings and have an? other Miranda. ? Editing a newspapor is a good deal like making a firo. Everybody supposes he can do it a little better than anybody else. We have seen people doubt their fitnoss for applo peddling, ox driving and counting laths; but in all our experience we never met with that individual who did not think he could double the circula? tion of any paper in two months. ? An Irishman, who found on the street a bill of fare of a recent dinner at the Kirk wood House, Washington, dis? covered therein the information of "oys? ters cookod in champagno" as one of the dishes served. "Bedad," says Pat, draw? ing his sleeve across his thirsty nlouth, "I wish I was an oyster." ?"Pap," observed a young urchin of tender years to his fond parent, "does the Lord know everything ?" "Yes, my Bon," replied tho hopeful sire; "but why do you ask that queston ?" "Because our preacher, when he prays, is so long tell? ing tho Lord everything, I thought he wasn't posted." The parent reflected. ? A young man out West waB entrus? ted with money to bring his father home a good family sewing machine. He car? ried off a neighbor's daughter to Chicago, married her and brought her home, de? claring sho was tho best family sewing machine he could procure. ? Two persons of satiric turn met a neighbor, and said, "Friend, wo have been disputing whether you are most knave or fool." The man took each of the querists by the arm, so that he was in the middle. "Truth," said he, "I believe I am between both." ? "None but tho brava deserve the fair." No, and none'but the brayo can! live with 'em. Blank Deeds for Sale.
