He came in at the door after a gentle
mock brought no 'iavitation, and stood
inder the mellow light of the argand burler.
He said, "Good erening, Msjah,"
md paused on the brink of the conversational
Rubicon. He was the typical "Jour.
Printer." He was the representative of
i class soon to become extinct?a nomadic
-eminiscence, soon to be embalmed in history
and printing office tradition. 'His
ihabby coat was buttoned close to his
jriatling chin, a paper collar of Stanly
jattern eked out a shirt of doubtful texure;
his cap glistened with accumulated
lirt and the friction of time, and a pair

rorktd on ths Enquirtr twenty years ago;
is had published papers in every town
ind hamlet in the Sooth and West, and
'struck type"'in every office in the coun.
ry. He had met with misfortune and
res here sick and friendless. Cooli we
w
Mist him ? There wm no response. Then
te talked of his connection with the "Lost
Jauae" and expatiated on the glorious
access of the Ohio l>emoeraey. This
wrought a contribution, but it was only a
[uarter. He walked to the door, and,
[rawing himself up with the dramatic air
f Robert Macaire, said, "Your Ohio Da*
aocracy it a d?d fraud- I will erosa the
iver to Kentucky, where gentleaMO live,
'm sorry I evsr put my foot in your d?d
Itate." We assnred him that we woolc
ot object to his imtoadistd withdrawal <
rom ths soil of Ohio, and that in?much I

elf eviction would produce regret withie
base boundariea. He went away.
Neat night he came in witbtiie Mine

?okod sad, indeed. His face was as
(athery as if he had lain in the crypts of '
Igypt. But the cheek* and nose wore J
nged with a coloring eubataace more

liced him, and he had turned back. In
'ovington he found Judge Arthur. The '
andsome, big aoulcd Congreaaman had '
newn him and his family in their better 1
ays, and had donated ten dollars. "Ah,
ou don't know me," he said with a wist- '
al air, "you don't know who I am." We j
nggeeted that if a knowledge of hi* aneesry
and his personal history was likely to
oat ten dollars, we wore quite well off in
be bonds of ignoranee. He had lost the
?lk of Judge Arthur's douceur, be coniaued,
at "shoat cards." The amount

attled away:
"There waa a lime when money, my toy,

A Ha i? ketrnn.?In the serenade <
given to Mr ?umner, in Washington, a ,
few night* ago, by his oolorud friends, in (
honor of his oivil rights efforts, it appears, ,
that several articles of property belonging
t? the philantbropicul public functionary
were appropriated by some of those who
assembled to do him honor. Such a pro- I i
ceeding would seem to be neither civil
nor right. In Washington, the population
of all colors see ins to he gqrunvhat
nii*ei W>?h Mr. Sumner, however,
Washington is s favorite field for civil as
well as other experiments, and a somewhat
heterogenous class of the new citis$ns
seems to have gathered there, possibly
the view of baion experimented upon.
Whether the Massachusetts .Senator likes
to be experimented upon in the appreciation
exhibited during tho Into serenade of
his valuables hi well as himself, is not
quite so oertain. Our Washington correspondent
represents him ns very much
exercised over the ingratitude of some of
his admirers. It is an ungrateful world.
A son of Erin once accosted a reverend
disciple of Swedcnborg thus : "Mr. ,
you say that we are to follow the same
huainpss >? Heaven that wo do in this
world?" "Yea, that ie in perfect accord

not idle, and why should his creaturea

A Remarkable Courtship.
A correspondent of the Indianapolis
Herald tails the following anecdote of
Professor Foster, who filled, with much
ability, one the chain of the Faculty of
the College in Knoxville, Tenneoee :
Professor Foster was educated in the
seiences usually taught in college, hut bis
ignorance of the common affairs of life
rendered him a remarkable man, furnish*
ing a rare subject for the study of human
nature in one of its multiform phases.?
Being advised by some of his friends to
get married, he. with child-like fkUh and
simplicity, accepted their advice, and pro*
mitcd to do so If he could find a young
Udv villinw to hava him. That referred
bin to a number of the be* young ladies
in town, any one of whom, they hail no
doubt, would be willing to accept bin band ,
and make him happy. He wae one of the j
moat kind-hearted men, void of guile and ,
offense, and an entire stranger to the forms
and ceremonies of modern courtship. He (
couldn't see the necessity of oonsuming a ,
year or two in popping tho question? ,
uSalIy. will you havo me V* So be went ,
that eery day to tha residence of the nearMt
young lady who had boon eommended, |
and being welcomed and seated in the ,
family circle, as he always was, wherever j
known, he at-oece made known the object t
of his visit by saying, in a cletjr, *qd dis* t
linct voiee i }
"Well, Miss Sarah, my friands bars ad- j
riaed me to get married, recommend you |
ind a number of other young ladies to j
m as suitable persons, and I h?T0 oalled ,
to see if you ara willing to marry ma." 8
Had an earthquake violently shaken g
lbs premises, the household could not c
lave been more astonished- Wke a fright- ?
tned rot, Sarah started to run, whan hur f
uother caught her and said: t
"Why, child, doq't ba frifhtsnsd j the b
Professor won't hurt you." j
Being seated again, a deep blush sue- 0
ceded the palauaaa wbioh had beau caused 0
>y the startling announcamant, she rsl- _
iad aqough to bt able to any to ths pro- t
enor that as his was so entirely unezpect-1 ^
natter. This be granted, bat said : jj
"As 1 am aaiioas, in case of your re* a
nsal, to see th? other joqng ladies UMlay, e
can wait only one hoar for your answer." i
Knowing the worthiness, sincerity and
implicit/ of the professor, the matron
ook her blushing daughter up stairs for 1
consultation, while the father was left to a
ntertain his proposed son-in-law as best q
is could under the novel circumstances, t!
)f course, the discussion of the sudden
iropositiau between Sarah and her mothor o
sea private, and cannot be given in fall, ii
rhe moat essential parte of it, however, t
vere told afterward. It was readily ad- I
nitted that he waa entirely worth; of Sa- t
qh's hand and heart.
"But, mamma," said Sarah, "how would s
t look to other people for me to have to t
five an apswer in one short hour, only i
lixty minutes, jump at a hasty chance? 1
ind to think how my young friends would t
ie?r and laugh at ma. Wouldn't they a
ease me to death ? No, ma, I can never f
hce that music." t
""But stop, my child, sod listen to me. <
There is not a young lady in the oity that 1
irould not jump at the offer made you.? 1
Let them laugh. Girls must hare some. <
thing to laqgh at, but it won't hurt you. 1
Tell him yos, emphatically. If he were a j <
itranger, whose antecedenta were unknown j'
to us, however prepossessing in person 1
snd manners, or profuse iu his professions <
of love, 1 would withhold my consent.?
But we have long known him; his moral <
character is without reproach, he is amis, i
Lie, kind-hearted and sincere, a fine scholar, \
with an honorable position in the college, i
and hi makes no fhlse pretences. You i
know just what he is. What more do you i
want?" * i
"But, mamma, T don't know that k? I

At the expiration of the flfty-nith min- 1

than before. Then, with a firmness that
astonished herself as well as her parents,
she extended ber band to the professor,
and said: 1
"Yes, sir, if papa consents."
He gate his consent without any hesitancy,
and it was readily agreed by all
that the wedding should take place a week
from that time. Then Professor Foster,

Buistiko or a Boo?Mr. W. L.
'rench, writing to the London Timet to
ppeal to the oheritable for aid for some

he remains of the village of Visp, in the
Ihone Valley, Switserland, after its desruction
by flood some years ago.
' The scene to which I refer is the reult
of the bursting of a bog, situated about
bree miles eabt of the town of DnnaMre,
n the northern part of Qalway eonnty,
Heretofore this bog was connected with
he Dunmore River, at Dunmore. by a
wall stream called the Corrabel River,
lowing through a continaation of pasture
md tillage lands in its course. The level
>f the apper surface of the hog Was former*
y 260 feet above the sea, and that of the
rater at Dunmore 190 feet, shoving a fkll
>f 70 feet. Up to a fortnight ago this bog
presented the usual appearanoe of most of
>ur undrained Irish boga, i. e., its skirts,
idjoiniogth# arable land, consisting of
^igh turf banks, being exoeedingly wet
tnd spongy.
"On the first of October the farmer occupying
a farm on the Corrabel stream,
near the bog, vaa digging bit potatoes,
ghsn he suddenly observed a browa maes
ilowly approaching him. He left his
ipsds in the ground and went for the
asighbors; on his retur * the mass (which
vu the moving bog) had half covered his
potato fidld; and completely hidden from
light his field of corn, with the exoeption
jf a few 'stooks' situated on a knoll; they
still remain an island in the middle of a
icene of desolation. This was but ths
? - t
commencement; since then tn? Dog nai
continued to advance in a rolling mass,
continuing its coarse right down the valley
to Dunmore, burying on iti w?y three
farm houses, and cowing at least one
hundred and eighty aoree of pasture and
arable laud to a depth, in some plaow#, of
tlx feet. Tho unfortunate occupiers of
the three farms hare been turned, by this
visitation of Provideuee, farmlcse and
homeless, with their families, on the
world.
"At Dunmore a small bridge has been
removed, near the junction of the Corrahel
stream with the Dunmore River, to afford
relief to the lands up the valley, and a
bog-laden torrent ia being discharged into
the latter river. The worst may he said
to be over, but the discharging powers of
that river will be materially affected by
