LADIES, BEWARE I - The Kentucky Court of Appeals has just made a deci? sion which, although quite fair, will Erove very alarming to fair flirts. It as declared that the mutuality of an engagement may be proved against a young lady "by showing that she de? meaned herself as if she concurred in or approved of the young man's promises or offer. It is not neoessary that there should be an express promise on either side." This has been long the case so far as the "brute man" is oonoerned, but now pining and jilted baohelors may get solace from a fat verdict against the false one. Io Maine, it is reported, there is a tract of land 454 rods long and 200 rods wide, and containing fifteen farm-houses, whioh does not belong to any town, and the inhabitants of whioh do not pay any taxes and cannot vote. When tho lines of the adjoining towns were ran, several poor families lived ou this gore of laud, and the authorities, not wishing to add to their paupers, excluded tho tract from tho surveys.

How TO GET ON IN THE WORLD.-A working man, some time ago, published his own biography, one of the most in? teresting little volumes that has appear? ed during the present century. It is as follows: "It may to some appear like vanity in me to write thnt I now do, but I should not give my life truly if I omitted it. When filling u curt with earth on a farm, I never stopped work because my sido c! the cart might be heaped up before the other side, at whioh was another workman. I pushed over what I had heaped up, to help him; so doubtless he did to me, wheo he was first and I was last. When I have filled my column or columns of a uowspaper with matter for which I was to be paid, I never stopped if I thought the subject required more explanation, because there was no contract for more payment, or no possibility of obtaining more. When I have lived in a barrack, I have stopped work, and taken a baby from a soldier's wife, when shu had to work, and nursed it for her, or gone for water for her, or cleaned auother man's accoutrements, though it was no purt of my duty to do so. "When I had been engaged in politi? cal literature and traveling for a news? paper, I have gone many milos out of my road to ascertain a local fact, or to pursue a subject to its minutest details, if it appeared that the public were un? acquainted with tho facts of the case; and this, when I had work, WUB tho most pleasant and profitable. When I havo wantad work, I have accepted it at any wages I could got, at a plow, in farm draining, stone-quarrying, breaking stones, at wood-outtiug, in a saw-pit, as a civilian, or a soldier. In Loudon, I havo groomed a cabman's horse and cleaned oat a stable for sixpence. I have since tried literature, and have done as muoh writing for ton shillings ns I have readily obtained-both sought for aod offered-ten guineas for. "But if I had not been con ton ted to begin at the beginning, and accept ten shillings, I should not have arisen to guineas. I have lost nothing by work? ing, whatever I have been doing, with spade or pea- -I have been my own help? er. Are you prepared to imitate? Hu? mility is always the attendant of sense, folly alone was prond. A wise divine, when preaching to the youths of his 1 congregation, was wont to say: 'Boware of hoing golden apprentices, silver jour rrymon und copper masters.' Tho only cure for pride is soase; sad the only path i to promotion is condescension. What multitudes have been ruined by tho pride of their hearts!" Hero is testimony worth treasuring in mind by everybody. Olive Logan married nnd lectured thu same night. Her sister died, und shu lectured as usual. Now she is danger? ously sick herself, sud will find it neces? sary to skip u night or two. Catching the Train. The following Btory is told by the Rev. J. Hyatt Smith: We stopped at Syracuse, N. Y., for dinner. Yon remember the railroad de? pot, centrally situated, with its Eastern and Western entrances exactly alike-as much so as the ends of a car. After we bad dined, tho depot-master informed mo that we bad seventeen minutes to spare before the departure- of the East? ern train. This, thought I, will give me au opportunity to see tbe city and n glo? rious chunco for a smoke, providod a clergyman could be tempted into sucb a wasteful and worldly amusement.- I sauntered forth, And after an absence of exactly thirteeu minutes, baviug enjoyed a delightful and soothing stroll, I was leisurely returning, watch in hand, when, to my midden astouismeut, I beheld the train ?lowly gliding out of the other end of the depot and incroasiug its speed at. every puff of the gigantic loco? motive. Hore, indeed, WBR a "call" which ad mi: led neither correspondence nor de? lay; there was no timo for "taking into consideration." So, without conferring with flesh and blood, I put like a sky-rocket with dou? ble fuse. For a momeut I thought I wus gaining grouud, although I knew I wus losing wind. I waa encouraged in tho nice by sundry helpful fellows who kept crying out ns I passed, "Go it, gaiters!" "Plucky boy 1" "He ain't left, ob, no!" and well-meaning and benig? nant exhortations. Though they in? tended, perhaps, to help me over thc course, I found thut the moro they shouted tho less I was inclined to run, and more deuidedly did the locomotive make ita terrible way against me. To give up the chase, to submit to th< chagrin of being loft, to loee my part j and my pussngo, moot with disappoint meut und not to meet, my friends-al this was bad enough; but tho thought o encountering, all the way back to thi depot, that line of interested individual who, with their cheering exclamations had BO feelingly encouraged me on nr outward journey, this was the bitteres pill in thu unexpected dose. Bat it must be done. So. taperiug ol gradually, I gave np the** contest am turned back to meet my fate, and, if could find bim, the depot-master, whoa blundering statements were the cause o all my trouble. Without search that in dividual advanced to moot me with th bland recognition of a fuot that nobod could well deny. "Well, you got left, did youl" I replied only with tho resentment c a "silencing eye." If I looked aa I trie to look, my photograph taken at that it ?tant would hardly be chosen to grac an album gallery of "eminent divines. Several by-stunders, seeking iuformi tiou, asked, with a show of contldentii interest in my case, in what wi so tl thing had happened; and others, wisl ing to poiut a moral, advised me to L on band a little earlier next time. With returning breath, relief ac words carno together, and I square! charged the railroad o Him ul with all tl blame. I spoke of his incompetency i no measurable terms, recalling hoi after 1 had placed my party in tho cu he bad assured me that there were fi seventeen miuutes to spare before tl train went out, "while here," said with a triumphant exhibition of tx watch, "the sevuuteen minutes ure ovi now barely up, aud yet the train is gol out ot sight." After uo bot shul east back aud furl with the usual variations and iiual pet rations of "you did," and "yon didn't "you're another," etc, I asked him wi: ther I would bo riskiug another chan of hoing left if I depeuded on bim give me the exact hour of the departu of the noxt Eastern train. "Eastern!" exclaimed bo. "Yes, Eastern," I replied, with a t cidedly upward und sarcastic iuflectioi "Why," quoth ho, "tho traiu you' just beeu chasing with such good lu wasn't the Eastern train, but tho We ern ExpresB." With such interesting confusion u excitement, I etauiinerod out, "Tin where in Jobba, is tho Eastern traiu?' "Why, thoro it is," replied he, "j getting under way, ut tho other und tho depot; leg it, or you'll loso that." If evor I n?tido Doxter time, I mad? then. I passed right through tho de; like the wind. I felt as if I was all le Ono glauco, however, at thu rear dooi the last car as I was uoaring it came n being too much for me. I discovc the group of my long-lost friends, wb forms aud faces seemed bursting w poorly-supproBiod and ill-timed mirth As I reached safely tho platform fire that opened upon mo could only equalled, fur its merciless effect, by Are in tho rear, from which I bad pri doutially Hod. I heard jibes, jokes i jeers. I heard tho hoarse luughte full-chested men, and tho hysterical forte of mirth-exhausting women. T bud all witnessed my chase after wrong traiu; now foarfal lest I she overtake) it, and then rejoicing at evident lack of what jockeys cull "1 tom," us my speed began to slacken my chances with the locomotive grow "small by degrees and beautif less." They hud witnessed the "bl iug-up" administered by the de master, the strange proorastiuatioi starting for tho right train until at lei it bad actually started, and I had out? upon a second "stern obase." 1 they feared that I was left again, as I looked with breathless interest at thu equal contest of legs versus locomol They had witnessed my tiuul triun but bow grateful I was welcomed, \ with what toolings I received their p liar congratulations, I loavo my her to imagine. St. Petersburg gossip states that Emperor of Russia intends to w next spring, owing to tho oufoeblei of his constitution, mid that ho will the remainder of his life in the Crin WHY WOMAN WEDS.-Some oloae ob? server of oar Booie! relations having looked about among bis married female aoquaincanoes, ventares to give tbs fel? lowing list, with an attempt to indicate the real reasons which influence too many to marry:' Number one has married for a home. She got tired of working in n factory or teaching sobool. She thought married life on earth was but mooulight walkB, buggy rides, new bonnets and nothing to do. Well, nbc has got ber borne; whether or not she is tired of tho incam brance, this deponent saith not, inas? much as thia deponent does not possibly know. Nomber two married because ?ho bad seven young Bisters and a papa with a uarrow income. She consulted their in? terests by taking in light washing, or by going out by the day to work. Number three married because Mrs. sounded so much better than Miss. She was twenty-nine years and eleven mouths old, and another month would have transformed her into a regular old maid. Think how awful that would have buen! Number four married because she wanted somebody to pay her bills. Her husband married for precisely the same reason, BO they are both repenting at leisure. Number five married because Fanny White had a nice new husband, and she wasn't going to bo left behind. Pity if she couldn't get married as well as other folks. Number six murried because sho was poor and wanted richea. She never c muted on all tho other things that were inseparable from those coveted riches. Number seven marriod because she thought she weald like to travel. But Mr. Number Seven chauged his mind afterward, and all tho traveling she has done bas been between the well aud thu back kitchen door. Number eight married out of spite, because ber first lore had taken to him? self a second love! This piece of retali? ation might have done her good at the time, but, in the long run, number eight found it did not pay. Number nine married because she had road novels aud "wanted sympathy." Sympathy is a fine thing, but it cools down at a rapid rate if the domestio ket? tle is not kept boiling, and tho domestic turkey is undoue. Novels and house? keeping don't tun very well together in harness, to use a sporting term; and number nine's supply of sympathy didn't hold out very long. Number teu married because abe loved ber husband with all ber heart and soul. And she loves him still, and will proba? bly continue to lovo bim, and is tho hap? piest wife in the world-so she says. We have all tho right motive at last ouu which, when sanctified by a desire aud resolution to improve and olevate ouch other, and to live true nud holy lives before God, caunot fail to call dowu tho blessings of Hcaveu. But sad is the fate of those who marry from wrong motives, to escapo thoir sharo of life's work, or to get something for which they have nothiug to givu in return. Thero is to bo a meeting of colored people, this eveniug, to ask Cougress to pass au additional "civil rights bill" for thoir benefit. What moro rights the oolorod people can have given to thom by any law, wo are at a losa to imagine. They now have all the rights of "white folks," and more. Judge Allison lately deoided that if a negro said he thought bo was in danger in au election riot "in the election Im fore the last," he might appear even on the witness stand of a court of justice, armed with deadly wea? pons!

'Aud herc,' ho added, ns bo grasped my hand in parting, 'here is your Biblo. I may as well return it to you, for I hope I shall never want it again.' " PnEPAitiNO FOI: DEATH.-Tho Atlanta (Gn.)

Ho was uearly seventy years of ago at tho time of his death. Hu was an oddity in his way.

GENEBAL BANKS ON THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN EUROPE,-Thursday even? ing, General Banks delivered an address in Waltham, Massachusetts, in which he stated the impressions he had received on his European tour in regard to the political aspects of Europe. He Baid: The causo of the destruction of France wus what bas brought on the ruin of every government which ever existed, the spirit of senseless, remorseless, soul? less und godless faotion. At the end of the war of '68, it was proposed that the Freuoh army should be inoreaeed from 300,000 to 1,200,000 or 1,400,000. The warnings of Marshal Neil were unheeded by tho French Chambers. They de? manded liberty of the presa, the right to meet and discuss public questions, and to bear arms; io faot, all the rights which Republicans enjoy. lu face of this opposition, not only was the army not increased, but it was diminished by some 70,000 mon. The men who had recommended this measure were raised to power, and the first act of the French Republic was to restrict all those privi? leges for which it had before so strongly contended. The interference of Europe in the Gorman-French war was made impossible, because a great power in the North Baid to every nation: "You must not be a party to this war." Thus all were held in check, and the war went on. It seemed Btronge that snoh should bo the case, but the wisdom of Russie was the greatest political aot of the cen tnry. Her situation, with Asia upot ono side aud Europe on the other, botl of which she hoped to control, with i population of nearly 100,000.000, witl an ur my of 2,250,000 coady for the field her people eutirely devoted to thei country, BIIO was able to bold all tb States in balance. Germany must go ii the way she has started. The scheme of development opened by Frederick th Great bas been followed out, ant Prussia aims for the Baltio and Blaol Sea. Her war with Denmark wa? t< gain the former, and that, with Austria to gain tba latter. Russia oan reach th Northern Ocean only through the Gul of Finland, where navigation ie slow an dangerous, and where Prussia can corr mand. It is impossible that Russia wi submit to this, and the contest will com between ber and those who stand io he way. With America, Russia ia unite by oommuuity of interest. Both need t reach tho sea, and are prevented b other powers. The United States hav no control over any one of their gree rivers or lakes, and Russia is in a simile condition. This is the secret of Russia friendship for this country. Russia i waiting (or tho opportunity to bogie When that will be, no one knows, but is certainly coming, and will complet the destinies of nations began in tl war of 1870. Wo may assume tht nothing is settled. Germany is nt autocratic nor F rance destroyed. A soon as any difference occurs betweti States, Kassia's opportunity will hov oome, and tho sympathies of the oivi ized world will be on her side, if si aims to check tho expansion of Pr ns s i France has in some respects bet strengthened and purified by her mi fortuno, und she, too, is waiting to r gain the position sba has lost. The i terest of tho United States is that tl States of Europe should be preservi distinct, according to their natioua ties; for tho nationality is like a famil and tho family is the work of Go Whenever Europe is united nnder oi dynasty, then will come an attack upi the United States. So long as eaoh b its own, wo have nothing to fear; but any ons becomes preponderant, : power must be exercised somewbei and wo ahull be the only object left attack.
