Ia it bnt your Joyous nature Making all around you bright, i-ff Free to all who court its favor Beaming from your heart so light? Do von lore me? Are the glances That I cherish from those eyes, Granted freely to all come) a. Or that I alone may prize? Kike the planets that kindly favor All that are beneath their ray. Or a beacon-light bright burning.

But to guide ma on my way? Do you lore me? Ia there deeper Meaning in each word and tone, r5Tin it falls upon my hearing, That is meant for me alone? Or ao sort and ao enchanting Does it fall on every ear? Waking every heart to gladness Tell me darling still my fear? Do you love roe? Is the pressure Of the hand, that sends a thrill To my heart, whene'er I clasp it. Given without thought cr will? Ia its meaning naught but friendship? Naught but kindnets on your pari? -Tell me this, er tell me, darling, May I claim your hand and heart? Dexter and Pocahontas. One of the raw, windy days of the past week Mr. Robert Bonner drove over to pocket Eleven buckshot were found in Pollard's body. Immediately after the shooting, James Grant, a brother of the young woman, was discovered locked in an upper room of a building opposite, from a window of which the shot had evidently been fired.

A double-barrelled shot gun, with one barrel discharged and the other loaded with- buckshot, was found in the room. When arrested Grant was cheered by a large crowd of persons, that -hid assembled in the vicinity of the-murder. Grant does not admit, any of the An inquest was held 'on 'the body of Mr. Pollard yesterday, and the Coroner's jury rendered their verdict that the deceased came to his death at the bands of some persons 'unknown. A preliminary examination of young Grant will be had to-morrow.

Although the circumstantial evidence against him is so strong, hia friends are confident that he will not be convicted of murder. i 3 UAJUC TWAIN Eg LOW "ZEBO," 1- The Elmira (New York) Advertiser, of the 21th narrates the following pathetic incident "A distinguished author and lecturer, now on a brief visit to Elmira, (we prefer not to mention his name,) previous to taking a walk "down town, yesterday, examined a thermometer hanging just outside the door, to see how the weather was. The mercury indicating a degree of frigidity considerably below zero, he returned indoors and proceeded to put on various extra garments proper for such an extremely cold day. Among the appropriate articles of clothing thus appropriated to guard against the inclemency of the weather, were two heavy California over-coats, one bear-skin cap, another cap made of hare to cover the bear-skin, one rwoolen muffler, one pair of buckskin nether garments, two pairs of knitted over-socks, one pair of double-soied boots, one pair cloth over-shoes, and one pair of snow shoes. Taking on his arm another overcoat and a blanket shawl he sallied out.

A brief hurried walk brought him to the office of the friend whom he is visiting, in a condition of much perspiration, and as full of wonderment as Jim Smiley when' David refused to jump. The removal of the extra garments and the vigorous application of a full-sized palm leaf fan having restored the gentlsman to hia ordinary state of coolness, his astonishment was also disposed of by a remark from the gentlemrn who is the for ALaif Haa. The lazy man is nearly always good natnred. He never flies into a passion. He might crawl into one, if that were possible, but the idea of his flying into anything is preposterous.

Whoever heard of a lazy man breaking into a bank, where a crowbar had to be used, "or drilling into a safe? Nobody. Not that he might not covet his neighbor's goods therein contained, but his horror of handling crowbars and drills, would always deter him from actually committing burglary. He never runs away with hia neighbor's wife, simply on account of the horror he has of running. If he is ever known to run it is run to S66le He Tarely lies about his neighbors, for it would be too much exertion, but he can lie about a bar-room all day. He is of inestimable service to a billiard saloon, keeping the chairs warm and watching the game, for few would care to play were there no spectators.

The fact that he does this without pay, day in and day out, shows the unselfishness of his nature. What, an industrious man, who considers his time worth something, would want pay for, the lazy man generally does for nothing, showing a freedom from mercenary motives that should go far to his credit. The lazy man never gets up revolutions, insurrections or other popular excitements, and don't make a nuisance of himself by tramping around the country making incendiary speeches to promote public discontent. In his own neighborhood he is never a busy body in other people's affairs, for the very idea of being a tusy-body at anything would drive him out of his head. By the way, if he ever got out of his head, you would have to drive him out, for be wouldn't have the energy to go out of his own accord.

No lazy man ever ran mad. If he went crazy it was because he couldn't go anywhere else without walking. Lazy men don't disturb the quiet of peaceful neighbors by putting up factories, furnaces and such abominations. Finally, lazy men don't get up baseball clubs, which, if nothing else could be said in their favor, ought, in these days of base-bawling, to entitle them to pubho gratitude. Caurd SUqaette.

The Home Journal says: Visiting cards will be, for this season, rather larger than formerly, and ot the finest unglazed Bristol board. The hew sises will tend rather to the square than otherwise. The shape cf the card may be varied according to taste, the proper adaptation to the size of the lettering being maintained. Among the various texts in use, nothing will supersede the English script and these inimitable styles of Old English text the most novel being with dropped capitals, and the extremely neat extra shaded.

ForBMrry otihm What Cheer Cloth Ina; atore. cvpuatte las Wjsa vaeea curese, ajaaranini anM-lm ftllli New Yobk, November 26, 1868. TEX WASHBCBN XCPDLaV The whole batch of the correspondence be tween Mr. waahDurn and ue Paraguayan Minister of Foreign Affairs, has come to hand. It occupies sixty-three columns in the i-nciisn journal ox tsuenos Ayres, and a lair.

unprejudiced examination of the entire case not only jusnnes tee conclusion that wasn-burn was uttolv incompetent to maintain his official position with dignity and honor, bnt it also seems to settle tne point tbat ne was one of the chiefs of the conspiracy to over throw tne Paraguayan uovernment. in ins haste to denounce president lxpez as a nend in human shape. Washburn is betrayed into admitting facts which are his own worst demnation. He says is made fu rious with disappointment and conscious that his cause is lost, and as his career has been but a series of infamies, he now seems intent on destroying the witnesses and blotting out the record. He is the (creates cow ard ever known, and it was only through fear tnat ne let me go.

When uaptain mruand of the Wasp, in response to his threat that he intended to hold me, told him that if he, dared to touch me our Government would have his head if it had to hunt him through all Christendom, he then concluded to let me de part. assumes that the Government of the United States puts an extraordinary value on his life above the lives of other citizens. It did not occur to him. evidently. that threats of retribution in the case of Messrs.

and Bliss might prove as efficient for their release. There is, indeed, not the shadow of an excuse yet given for his abandonment of American citizsns and officers of his own legation to the mercies of a person whom he stigmatizes as a cruel monster, and who, be shows, was frightened into allowing him (Washburn) to leave the country by threats that our Government would have his (Lopez's) head in case he (Wash-bum) suffered any annoyance at the hands of the Paraguayan ruffian. The conduct of Washburn finds a parallel in that of the captain of a ship in peril who should abandon hia passengers and crew to perish and he is entitled to the same measure of contempt and execration. Mr. Washburn has displayed great industry in presenting his version of the affair, but he has not succeeded in removing the impression on the public mind that he has shamefully failed in his duty has disgraced himself irretrievably, and permitted his country's flag to be dishonored.

public will demand a thorough investigation of Washburn's whole career iu Paraguay. If he has received large sums of money, as alleged in the testimony, in the way of bribes and black mail, it should be Known, so that by his punishment an example and warning may be given. The fact that Hon. James Watson Webb, our Minister of Finance to Brazil, sustains and defends Mr. Washburn, will not go for much until Mr.

Webb relieves himself from the charge that he also was concerned in the conspiracy against Lopez. It is indeed unfortnnate that Mr. Seward did not withdraw Mr. Washburn two rears ago, when the allies furnished to our State Department ample proofs of our Paraguayan Minister's abase of his official position. As for Washburn's distress concerning the fate- in store for Messrs.

Bliss and Master man, his fears do not seem to be well grounded those gentlemen were alive at the date of the last mail from Buenos Ayres. Washburn evidently has not bad time yet to recover from the scare he got when Bliss and Masterman were captured and he supposed that himself the Washburn was in "danger of being "coralled." Mr. Washburn may find consolation in the reflection that he is not the only representative of the great American nation, under Radical rule, destined to retire from political life un wept, unhonored and ushoo. PAXAGISO TESTIMONY AGAINST WASHBURN. Perhaps when the whole story is told, Lopez will appear not nearly so black as he has been painted by Washburn.

The British and French authorities, at least, take a view of the case somewhat different from that presented by "our late Minister to Paragaay," as will be seen by the following dispatch from Washington this morning: "Several unofficial letters have been received in this city relative to the Paraguayan difficulty. It has been stated that the English and French governments had each sent a man-of-war to Paraguay. These vessels appear to have returned, as will be seen by the following extract of a private letter from Bear-Admiral Davis. The information re ceived from their officers differs somewhat from the previously imblished accounts. Bear-Admiral Davis' letter is dated at Bio de Janeiro, October 26th: 'Bear-Admiral Fis quet, commanding the reach naval divi sion on this station, with whom I am on terms of intimate intercourse, came yesterday to furnish me some information, re cently received from the captain of the gun- boat uecidie, in regard to bis recent visit to Lopez.

His report agrees entirely with the views expressed by Lieutenant-Commander Eirkland in his official letter and contradicts the extravagant stories which have been busily circulated charging Lopez with various crimes against humanity, and particularly with the assassination of certain foreign consuls, as, for example, the French Consul and and the Portuguese Vice-Consul The French Consul left Paraguay in the Decidie. lie has been under no apprehension of nis life or safety. The expression of Admiral Fisquet yesterday was: 'H n'a jamais ete Bear-Admiral George Ramsay, commanding H. B. M.

naval forces on this station, with whom my relations have always been very cordial, has just come on board to give me similar information from Lieuten ant Bush, commanding U. B. M. gun boa Linnet, now lying at Montevideo, but re cently returned from Paraguay. His intercourse with Lopez was entirely satisfactory in ail respects, in snort, several oi tne most important particulars touching the character, conduct, and situation of President Lopez, the reports of a month ago, undergoing modification from time to time, are now wholly contradicted.

My conclusion is, 1 cannot expect to ootain penecuy reiiavDiti grounds of action until approacn more closely to the scene of war. There has been at one time an ettort made to condemn Jjopez by exclamatory denunciations which are now gradually dying CALIFORNIA STEAMSHIP AFFAIRS. Mr. William H. Webb, President of the Nicaragua Transit Company has been elected a Director of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company.

The significance of this tact may be regarded as of a good deal of importance in connection with certain rumors of a proposed transfer of the business of the Pacific Mail Company from the Icthmus of Panama to Nicaragua. The route via Nicaragua is nine hundred miles shorter than by Panama, and it is estimated tbat a saving of fuliy twenty-five per cent in the carriage of freight will be made by taking the shorter route. It is believed by some persons here that the change will be effected immediately upon the conclusion of negotiations now pending between tee Steamship Company and the Niearaguan Government, which negotiations are said to be progressing tavoraDiy. un tne other hand, it is suggested that Mr. Webb received his place in the Board of Directors of the P.

M. 8. 8. Co. as a part of the consideration for which he sold out the North American Steamship Company and the Nica-aragua Transit Company to the Mail Steamship Company.

But, whatever may be the result of any negotiation pending Detween the Government of Nicaragua and the P. M. von mav be certain of the fact that all the property in Nicaragua of the Transit Company has been sold under execution and by that sale the Company forfeited its franchise or charter granted by Nicaragua. There ia not the shadow of a reason to hope that there will ever be another steamship line to California in opposition to the Pacific Mail Company. But perhaps that will be of but little consequence to Pacific Coast in terests after the completion or tne itaiiroaa.

as the latter will certainly be able to carry emigrants as cheaply as a Steamship Com pany could anora to ao it. THE ASSASSINATION OF RIVES POLLARD. I enclose the article in the Southern Opin ion, of Richmond, which led to the assassination of its editor; H. Rives Pollard, on the 24th instant also a communication from A. Pollard, a brother of the deceased.

to the New York Tribune. That the assassi nation of Mr. Pollard was deliberately plan ned and executed in cold blood no one doubts bnt as yet no positive testimony has been obtained to fix the crime on the person suspected. The article referred to was published on the 21st. It pretends to give an account ot tne elopement oi a young woman, daughter of Mr.

Wm. II- Grant, a wealthy tobacconist, of Richmond, and asserts that she was secretly married some months before in Philadelphia. The lady is slightingly spoken of, and it is insinuated that there are circumstances connected with the affair unfit for publication. The citizens'of Richmond ap prehended a serious dimouity in consequence of the publication, and some persons openly expressed the hope that Miss Grant's broth-, era would shoot Pollard on sight. As Pollard alighted from his carriage he was shot dead by some conceded person, jut.

nmna, the associate edi tvr of, the Opinion, and who is the reDuted author of the article, was within a few paces of Pollard at the time of the shooting, and a policeman wno was near at hand, supposed, at first, that Hanna had fired the shot but Hanna produced his pistols, and pointed to the fact that they were loaded. Hanna supposed that one of Pol lard's pistols' naa expioaea acciaenuy ma the Fashion Course with the intention of giving Dexter a mile triaL When he arrived at Doble's stables he fonnd the horse in splendid condition, bat the wind was blowing so fiercely across the track that it was plainly apparent that no animal could show to good advantage. Doble argued that the raw wind would make a difference of many seconds in a horse's time, and he deemed it madness to start Dexter with the anticipation of excelling all previous performances. Mr. Bonner, however, had gone to the Fashion with the intention of seeing Dexter move, and he decided, wind or no wind, to let him go a half mile.

He calculated that he could trot the distance in about 1 :12, but deemed it doubtful if he could reduce the time a second less. The marvel was harnessed, and when gently driven round the track so as to relax the muscles, he was started under the watch. He was struck by several strong gusts of wind, and yet passed the half mile pole in 1 .06. Several watches were on him, and all told the same story. Everybody was Bur-prised, and all agreed with Doble, taking the day into consideration, it was Dexter's best half mile performance, and, consequently, the most wonderful half mile trial on record.

Had the day been favorable, the same power and action would have carried Dexter to the half mile pole in at least, or at the rate of 2:08 to the mile. The day followingthis performance Mr. David Bonner was speeding Pocahontas on the Dubois track. She passed the stand like a shadow chased by sunshine, and a turf connoisseur, who was present, turned to Mr. Robert Bonner with the remark: "You say, Mr.

Bonner, that you will never buy another horse until you find one that can beat Dexter. Allow me to say that Dexter, in my opinion, is not the fastest animal in your stable. When the bay mare passed the stand just now she was moving at a rate that would have taken the King off his feet the best day he aver saw. I will stake my reputation that Focahontas can beat the white legged gelding to-morrow. Mr.

Bonner quietly smiled, but said nothing committal. It is evident, however, that he regards the mare very fast She will be given a trial some day, and perhaps Dexter will measure strides with her. a grand race would the bay and brown make! Think of it, Dexter and Pocahontas! Turf, Field and Farm, Nov. 6. Women In Men's Attire.

An English paper says: "Lately several women in male costume have been seen in public places. A correspondent writes: 'When dining at The London, three persons entered, dressed fashionably in men's attire. They seated themselves at a table iu the room appropriated to gentlemen, but their appearance and manners at once showed that two- if not all of them, were women. The attention which they soon attracted became to hot for them, and they left after being in the room for about ten minutes. Two foreigners were dining at the same table with myself, and one of them, who appeared to have traveled in various countries, expressed his great disgust at the proceeding, and innocently inquire! if it was usual for ladies to dress in men's clothes in this country, for he had only known them to do so at low casinos in New York, and at the Mabille, and simi-: lar establishments in Paris Another correspondent writes: I was at the Royal Theatre the other night, and was very much astonished by the entrance of a young nobleman, very well known among the upper ten, accompanied by a woman dressed up in man's clothes.

Her entrance caused a great deal of sensation in the theatre, as the disguise was palpable, even to the casual observer. I have heard since that the same young nobleman has been to the Holborn, and several other theatres, with sometimes two or three women disguised as men. As this act renders the perpetrator liable to heavy penalties, and at the same time intensely disgusts the spectators, I trust we shall see no more of it for the future." "Why Don't Tom Lean a Trade This question was propounded in our hearing, a few -days- a young I man who had been for several months un- Kuccessfuly seeking employment as a clerk or salesman in some of our leading houses. Complaining of his ill luck, one of his friends who knew he had mechanical talent, but doubted whether he could make himself useful either as a clerk or salesman, put the interrogatory to him which we have placed as the caption of this article. The reply was, that a trade was not so respectable as a mercantile occupation.

Under this delusive idea, our stores are crowded with young men who have no capacity for business, and who, because of the fancied respectability of doing nothing, waste away their minority upon salaries which cannot possibly liqui date tneir expenditures. Late, too late ia life, they discover their error, and, before they reach the age of thirty, many or tnem look wun envy upon the thrifty mechanic, whom, in the days of their boyhood, they were accustomed to deride. The false views of respectability which prevail in the sot disant fashionable society of the present day, have ruined thousands of young men, and will ruin Lnousands more. Naked Truths.

Johji X. Otic. Womeau Nervous, enthusiastic and talkative women are the foam and sparkle quiet women, the wine of life. The senses ache and grow weary of the perpetual glare andbrilliancyof the former, but turn with a sense of security and repose to the mild, mellow glow irradiating the sphere of the latter. we associate ail ideas oi rest witn quiet women.

They are soul divinities reverently guarding their secret truth in the Court of Silence. The duiet woman moves in an at mosphere of benignant grace. Appealing, strong, compelling, ner pure me is a petition or a prayer. When she speaks, her words are aptly chosen, and fitly spoken. She is wise and thoughtful, but loving and meek The still waters run deep," but not in the world applied sense babbling rills do not wear their channels deep, but streams of calmest flow have hidden depths undreamed of, unsuspected.

The touch of a quiet woman's hand is charmed indeed. It recalls, by its magic, all the precious memories wmcn time nas Plotted from life's calendar of years, and restores the beautiful lost visions of childhood, when the rainbow of a mother's smile spanned the rosy horizon, and the young heart thrilled to the music or ner lullaby as sue roc sea us in dreams upon her pure bosom. We confide in auiet women. Truth encir cles them as with a halo, and they give us constancy in return for our faith. Id sorrow, adversity or illness, tee quiet woman is nurse, counselor, and friend.

She soothes, comforts and caresses, and is the unlalteting guiae oi the weak and erring instincts. Into her steady and skillful hands the physician trusts tne spara, weu Knowing tnai uie iaitmui sentinel will not tire in watch, nor sleep upon her poet. She moves silently and orderly. ana does not irritate wun -questions, out surprises and pleases by her unobtrusive anticipations. She rarely speaks, but when she does her tones are firm, and sweet, and low, and linger upon the sick and drowsy ear like the musical vibrations of murmuring waves.

No other step approaches so breezy and life-giving. such a glory ot repose surrounds her, and her kisses rarely bestowed are lute benedictions. The love of auiet women is imperishable I It has no butterfly birth like the creature of fancy, retaining its gorgeous hues only while the skies are sunny and the flowers blossom, leaving in the eager grasp, when storm-clouds darken, a faded, dead moth, with all the brilliant dust brushed from its broken wings bnt it is an amaranthine flower, fadeless and fragrant forever whose germ is immortality, whose native soil is Heaven a love all sacrifice and devotion. Bcautiu of Mormon Polysraoajr. A Gentile woman in Utah lately gave a correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial this little, but telling, sketch of the practical workings of the Mormon system: Now.

there's Enh. Roberts over there." pointing to a stone house near the mountain; he brought a real young and delicate wife from New York, now goin' over sixteen years ago, and she worked hard, 1 tell you; why I've knewn ber to do all her own work when Eph. had three hands and the thrasbin' machine at bis house, and sometimes she worked out in the field, bound wheat and raked hay, which, vou know is awful oa a delicate New York woman 'taint as if she'd been raised to it, like we folks and after all, just last year, Eph. went and married another woman, a real young one, not over twenty; and, don't you think, this spring she knocked Maria that's his first wife down with a churn-dasher and scalded her. Eph.

stood by and just said: Go in Luce; kill her if you It all started about a churn, too. Both wanted to use it at onee. Maria had it, and her butter was a little slow oomin', and they eot mad. and Luce struck her. and then snatched the kettle right off the stove and poured hot water on her feet; so she fell down when she tried to run out.

And what was the result finally? Well, Maria left him; of course, she bad to or be killed. It' ver? nice, though, for the men. I had dozen chances to marry old Mormons, but. lawl I wouldn't give that for all of 'em. Why, just torn things around, and- let a wo man have two or three men, and see how they'd like that.

There wouldn't be no mur dering done in these pares oh. nol And I reckon a woman has as fine feelin as a man I tell you, if my husband ever joins 'em or tries to get another wife, that day 111 hunt another Uentile. jset your lue on that."

The word on the right band corner, felicitation, will be used for visits of congratulation on some happy event, as, for instance, a marriage, or a birth; on the left lower corner, the word Conge, used for a visit previous to leaving town; the other corner is to be marked Condolence. Cards sent to friends before leaving for a long journey, are issued with the addition of P.

Invitations to ceremonious weddings consist of square note sheet, embellished with a large monogram in relief, entwining the combined initials of the bride and groom. The individuals cards of both a bride and groom must be also enclosed, united with a neat white satin tie: and. in some cases, another card, with reception days for the following month.

A verv neat style of card has the custom ary "at home" on a note sheet, a ceremony card (at fixed hour), and the united cards of bride and groom, all enclosed in splendid envelops, of the very finest texture, with an elaborate monogram or ornamental initial. Ante-Mobtex Obituaries A writer, de scribing the internal economy of the New York Tribune, has this about the "Biograph ical Bureau" of tbat newspaper: In the bottom drawers of this cabinet we find a series of carefully written obituaries of distinguished live men, all arranged al- and in charge of Dr. Wood, hev are curiosities in their way. Here is a bulky one, as thick and as long as your arm. It is marked "Peter Cooper." Here is a second a Lilliputian roll small enough to go into a needle case.

We find this labeled "The Life of Walt. Whitman." These obituaries are found valuable when news of a celebrated person's death is received at an early hour in the morning. Thaddeus Stevens died at Washington, at midnight, yet a fonr column sketch of his life appeared in the Tribune of that morning. It had been put in tvnn and was "standing" when the news of his death was received. This was the ease with Buchanan and Martin Van Uuren, the latter cheated the office so long that the tvpe was distributed, and the old man, with singular perverseness, died within two days thereafter.

This Diograpuicai uureau is, indeed, a rare feature. No under in Rod. At a parish meeting in one nf the towns in the interior of Penn sylvania, where a new meeting house had just been erected, the question was agitated witn respect to navmg a ugnming ruu put up.
