Cupid on Horseback.
Death plays some fantastic tricks
at times, but, compared with tho
other universal conqueror, Love, ho
is tamed indeed. On Thursday
afternoon, in the crowded marts of
this city, under tho clear sun-light,
Cupid vaulted into the saddle of tho
Pale Horse, gave him tho rein, and
.with the . spirit of the wind flew to
Love's Elysium..
Less than a year ago, there came
from Virginia to reside in St. Josejjh,
a highly respectablo widow, whom
the misfortunes of war hud compelled
to emigrate. With her came her two
daughters, one twelve and tho other
nearly eighteen years of age. Annie,
the eldest, was blessed with more
than the usual amount of beauty and
intelligence, and had received an
education suitable to tho affluence
and social standing of her parents
ere war made its inroads. Since ;
April last, the widow has resided on
Third street, and her pleasant family 1
cirole has often been enlarged and
enlivened by the presence of Lewis
Dix, a young man of twenty-four
who married her niece, with whom,
and the three chubby littie ones that
have blessed their uion, he has been
residing, some fifty miles from St.
Joseph. As Dix had formerly lived
in Virginia, and hud always boon on
terms of intimacy with the family,
his visits were looked forward to
with pleasure by all, and not a sus?
picion ever crossed tho mind of the
mother that ho was other than he
seemed-a true friend.
Thus matters stood at the begin?
ning of tho present week, when Dix
arrived iu tho city in a wagon, drawn
by a span of gray horses, ostensibly
for the purpose of purchasing somo
articles for farm use. Ho called at
the widow's as usual, and as usual
was hospitably entertained. On
Thursday Annie carried to her
washer-woman a number of articles,
and about 4 o'clock iu tho afternoon
of the same day, left home with the
excuse that she was going after thom.
5, 6 nnd 7 o'clock came, but not so
Annie. Then it was that the horrible
suspicion flashed upon tho mother
that her daughter had been made a
victim to the wiles of the man whom
they all had esteemed. Inquiry soon
confirmed her worst fears, lt was
ascertained that Dix had procurod
saddles, deserted his wagon, and,
mounting Annie on one horse and
taking the other himself, had hur?
riedly left the city by the Savannah
road, in company with his victim.
Up to present writing nothing has
been heard of tho fugitives.
Tho mother is almost distracted
over this terrible affair, yet she firmly
declares that the wayward daughter
shall never again cross her threshold.
The poor child's infatuation will be
of Bhort duration. She will soon
learn by sad experience that ho who
has been falso to one woman is false
to all. If Annie docs not knock for
admittance under the parental roof in
less than a month, and Dix does not
humbly trudge back to the city and
hitch to his deserted wagon before
the first snow, notwithstanding the
faot that he had $1,200 in his pocket,
just received from his father in Vir?
ginia, then we aro no prophet, nor
the son of a prophet.

lions,_On Going to Church*
I know n good deni about church,
for I go there every Sunday. It is
good to go to church. Good things
uro often very stupid. Tommy
Slabsides is a good boy, nud ho likes
to rend Sunday-school books, and
don't know how to BU im, or to row,
and is afraid of a game of base ball,
and never played hooky in his life.
I am a good boy sometimes; but I
wish it was good to be bad. Thou I
could go birds-nesting, and sit up
lato at night, and not hear sermons.
Sermons are mostly preached iu
church. Yet pa sometimes gives mo
a sermon at home, it is always after I
have been bad. So I suppose people
who go to church are always very
bad, aud go there to get punished.
It's always very hot in church. I
never get so fidgety anywhere else as
I do at church. I'm never fidgety
when I go ont playing, or when I go
to the circus. But Aunt Jorusha says if
I was a real good boy, it wouldu't be
,?o. Sometimes I fall asleep in church.
I used to think this was very bad,
but last Snuday I saw both pa and
ma and Mr. Lougfnce, who passes
round the plate, all fast asleep, too.
Mr. Longfaco snored the loudest.
I sometimes think church would be
a good placo to play hide-and-go
seek in. You can get away under
the pews so nico, and nobody'd ever
think of looking iu the pulpit.
I liko to blow the bellows for the
man who plays tho organ. Charley
Puffer does so now, und gets heap of
money for it-at least half a dollar a
Sunday. Ho lets mo blow some?
times. Don't he have tho chi ney
agates, though! It's hard work to
blow the organ, too, but it's easier
than keeping awake during the ser?
mon.
There was once a boy who was
locked up all night in church with
tho ghosts and ghostesses. He went
to school with me. Ho said he'd had
enough of church to last him all his
life. Sometimes I think I've had
enough too, though I never saw a
ghostess. When 1 get to bo good.
Aunt Jorusha says, I'll love to hear
sermons three times a Sunday, lo
say nothing of weekly meetings.
Sometimes it don't seem to me as if
[ ever could be good. I ain't yet;
I'm only

and produces sleep. No other tonic so
quickly revives tho exhausted physical
energies, restores tho appetite and re?
moves tho gloom and depression which
alwavs accompanies weakness of thc
bodily powers. It purges from the sys?
tem tho morbid humors which retard its
natural functions, and which bring palo?
nee? to thc cheek and Buffering to tho

and necessarily proves a valuable adjunct

NEWS, POLITICS, LITERATURE.
An excellent Paper for Country Reading.
ITS POLITICS DEMOCRATIC
IN THE GREAT FIOHT
AO A1XST RADICAL USURPATION.
TO TUE r EOF LE OF TUE SOUTH.
THE WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to
the rehabilitation of the South in its former
prosperity-is offered to subscribers at tho
low rate of $1.50 for six months.
Tho annals of the American Republic
show no political campaign comparable in
tint magnitude of ita issues and tho mo?
mentousness of its results to that for the
Presidency, now pending. Indeed, the
very life of free government is on trial,
and it will he a sad commentary on thc
capacity nf the people for tho exercise of
that high truel if they, the jurors ?ho are
to try the isaac, pronounce a verdict of
self-condemnation. If the South has any
hope it is in the success of the Democratic
party in the coming Presidential election;
and every citizen is vitally interested in
the progress of the hattie, and cannot
afford to Lo without a hound and reliable
newspaper.
As an organ, not only of sound Demo?
cratic pri.iciplcs, but as a vehicle of ge?
neral nowa, tho GLEANER is confidently
jommended to Southern support. A largo
oight-pago paper, of forty-eight columns,
tilled with tho contributions of able cor?
respondents, tho daily wealth of tele?
graphic communication and rcadablo edi?
torials. Especially will it ho valuable as
in organ to disahneo tho Northern mind
if the falsehoods in relation to Southern
thought and actions, with which it is the
nduutrious vocation of certain parties to
poison tho springs of Northern feeling on
Southern subjects. In this view of tho
matter, no more valuable aid to the true
reconstruction of the country and restora?
tion of just sentiment at tho North toward
tho South can bo rendered than by sub
jcribing to the WEEKLY GLEANER and
tending it to acquaintances and friends in
;ho Northern States.
We ask the aid of such of our political
