And she Said ahe woubl try it. il 1 would, I thought a ininute, un i then I said if we could get some place to dress before and afttr the ceremony, I'd go iu And ahe said we could dress down in the store after it was shut up, and go up with Joe- and come dowu nvain and re-dies." . So alter talking the matter over it was ngreed that Joe should hav us proposed as two young, friends of his from the East, Eastern dry goods Drummers, you know some of lhui don't louk much like men. Well,- we were proposed and elected, and Joe came down into the store wh re we were and told us,"80 we hurried through with the dressingi an J went up to the ante-chamber aud sat down all in a row. We hadn't sat there ioiig before two men came out to us, from the in side room, all muffled up in gowns and having a kind of tin bat on their heads which covtrcd their face. They asked us for $5, each; and Joe banded over the money for us and himself, as we had given him nearly our amounts and promised him the rent soon." "Then there came two more men like the other two who formed us in.o & line, (ihcy call it single, file,) and told us to walk right along. They had swords and one of them walked be lure Joo who was iu frout, while the other wv!ktd behind me, who was beLii.d.

I was pretty bad scared -before we enme to that, but then I am not one of your timid people Tv as reared to ride colts, shoot piatola, kate aud swim.

I looked about for Mrs. Smith and Joe, but they had gone as soon a they heard the noise made to initiating me. I asked one of the men if Mr. Curtis was in the lodge. The man said he was. I said I woald like to see him a mioate. The man went into the lodge-room, and presently out comes my beautiful husband, all muQed up.

The wedding wa over, the guests had departed, and the happy pair had retired to their chamber, and were snugly ensconced . in bed. when Jack.in the. course; of a quiet conversation with his wife, unwittingly alluded to his favorite subject, by casually spesking of himself as a Republican. : : V . 4 What ! exclaimed his "wife, turning sharply and suddenly towards him, 1 are you a JtepuUi' cant1 - . . : ' Yes, replied Jack, delighted with the idea of finding a patient listener to his leng restrained oratory.

I was removed froaa that berth on the charge of daring to ym path ire with the poor operative who were then out of the mill on a strike for justice and living wages. But the inclosed resolution, wrhich the spinners, in a body, passed, without a tingle dissenting voice, explain their feelings much better tbao I can at the present time. " The poor slaves were not successful in their strike,. They were told if they would not submit to their, present wages and situation, the own era would stop the whole mill, as they could not afford to pay any mote for their later. By this threat the most of the operatives were dritea to submit: bat a few of the most useful never returned to work, and still remain alive as witnesses of the tyranny and abuse of the masters placed over them. - I now see it stated in the papers that this Pem-berton corporation haa been doieg a very sue cessful business the past year, (which include the time the poor operative struck for tiving va The above speaks fcr itself, and need . not 16 be commented on by me. That the labor cost the owners less than the same amount of slave labor would at the South, is without a doubt in my mind. Your statement that the northern operatives experienced not the commonest feelings of humanity from their masters, I fully endoree.-And to prove it here. I will relate an instance that actually occurred in the Pemberlon Mills less than lour months ago. " A woman went to her matter, and told- him that she wished to be relieved from work, as ahe was sick. The master replied, "Go to your work; a woman can play sick at any time." The next moruiog that woman gave birth to a child. HIRAM O.GOVE. 2fi(crnrii gliscfllang. UaiaascDs. ' Damascus is the oldest city in the world.

An OMo General Defeated by a Kentucky Lady- - - A good story is told of Adjutant General Car- ringtoo. who was lately appointed to that position by Gov. Deonisoo. The General, who, by the way, is a very vain man, as are all military chieftains, and wish ing to distinguish himself, appointed himself, a committee of owe, to meet the Legislators of Kentucky and Tennessee at Xenia, last week, and escort them to Columbus. On the arrival of the train at Xenta, the General boarded the rear car, and commenced introducing himself as 44 General Carrington, of Ohio!" After passing from car to car he finally found himself in the car containing the ladies from Kentucky and Tennessee, and with great promptness the Gen. remarked : ' .

CST" Dr. Rice's second sermon on the slavery question was delivered in Chicago to a large audience Sunday evening. The Doctor recapitulated ed the usage of the Presbyterian Church, old school on the subject of slavery. It inculcated upon master the duty of teaching their slaves ; of avoiding the separation of families; of encouraging marriage and family worship, among the slaves, etc. In the opinion of the speaker, there was as much religion among slaveholders as a-mong any other class of men j they are convicted of sin in thr same manner, and by the aatne grace which penetrates the hearts of men in the North. They . experience the same - w - S V 1 J joy and peace in oeiieving, as non aiavenoiaers do. the speaker wss himselr converted, it converted at all, in answer to prayers offered np by slaveholders. The Coloeiz'ition Society was the noblest iostkntion of the country. The Church recommended emancipation when convenient, but the Church did not command impossibilities. The Northern abolitionists would do til to reform tha abasee which existed in their own homes, ere they attempt , to enre- the evils of Southern society. Let the Abolitionists reform their own code of black laws, which disgraces their statute hooks, and which are in themselves one great obstacle to emancipation, ere they meddle with the affairs of their Southern brethren. Slavery was forced upon the American colonies by the power of Great Britain. The speaker did not wish to dioparage Abolitionists as individuals but only as a class. As a class, their action has resulted perniciously, and only so. Counted Noses. . The Virginia penchant for seeing blooded hor ses in motin. is well illustrated by an anecdote told at Petersburgh. Mr. Roswell, Sheriff of Hamilton county, seeing old Lark in White, an ex-member of the Jocky CInb, butnow a member of the Baptist Church, on the quarter stretch during the recent races at Ashland, Va-, jocosely remarked to him: , ' 7 . . , ' : "Why, Col. White, they'll tarn yon out of church for being here." - 1 Mf they do." said Larkin, "they'll turn out Tiasley, yonder, from the Methodist church.' 11 go aod see him. " .
