were on the sofa together. lie
took out his handkerchief, and find
iu'' a dry section, wiped his nose.
This reminded her ol a duty sue
owed 1ier3elf, and she attended to
it at once. He heid one of her
hands in one of his, and his hand
kerchief in the other. Then he
spoke:

him to his feet. Sho wiped her
eyes and then her nose, and made
an honest endeavor to look langu

condition of the farmer, and the
fiery glow of the latter, she appear
ed to an unhappy advantage. Hut
he did not notice it. 7e felt of his
proboscis tenderly for a moment,
and then returned to her side.

tears ran down his cheeks.

She took advantage of the lull to
unobtrusively apply he handker

ing her hand with fervor, and
clutching his handkerchief with
equal earnestness, 'whadidlibe wid

He mopped the perspiration from
his troubled countenance, and then
waited until she reappeared from
behind her handkerchief, when he
resumed:
'I ask aaid, darlig, cad you lub

The young girl dropped her head
upon his breast, put her arm around
his neck, and was just about to
speak the glad answer, when a sud

went on into a series ot sneezes
which fairly endangered the safety
of her fair neck.

She fell into his arms again, per

He drew her to him with all his
strength slipped the ring upon her
trembling finger; and there they
stood together, their reddened and
half-closed eyes blinking in sweet,
holy ccstacy upon each other, while
their exhausted nostrils shone with
a dim refulgence.

Hon. llobt. P. Dick, Judge of
the United States District Court,
has, wo are informed, it) pursuance
of power in him vested by the Gen
eral Rules and Orders in Bankrupt
cy, Rule XXXII, made the fol
lowing rule for the guidance of as
signees in bankruptcy.
4tRule. Assiguees in bankrupt
cy, whenever they have claim to
collect belonging to the estate of
the bankrupt, above the amount of
$200, and shall deem it advisable
to brinr suit in the United States
Court for the collection of the same,
shall, before commencing suit, ap
ply to the Court for a special order
regulating the return of process
ani for appearance and pleading in
the same. Rogisters in bankruptcy
will notify assignees in bankruptcy
of this rule."
Und- this rule, assignees may
su-3per.s-.ns indepted to bankrupt
estates, and hive a special order by
which tho complaint may be served
with the summons, and an answer
required thereto within twenty cr
thirty Oays. Where issue is joined,
the case will be set for trial at the
next ensuing term of the Court.
Where no answer or other pleading
is filed, the Clerk will be ordered to
enter up judgment by default, and
place an execution in tho hands of
the marshal. This will greatly ex
pedite the settlement of bankrupt
estates.
Some recent decisions made by
Judge Dick are of special interest
to persons indepted to the Bank of
Mecklenburg and amoug them are :
- -First, That certified checks are
provable against the Bank.
Second, That no certificate of de
posit, certified check, or other evi-
dence of debt purchased after the
filing of t!.e petition in bankruptcy,
ag.tiust the Rank of Mecklenburg,

First. It

not improve

Second. There is no way of im

couraging good merchants, good
schools and good people to settle

Third, bpend your money at
home, because that s where yoi

Fourth. Spead your mcney at

when it is necessary

orally to get it, and tuey wait tor

have the cash ;n hand, spend it at

Fifth. Spend your mcney at home
It will make better merchants o

keep better assortments, aad seil a
j lower rates than if the only business
thov can do is what is credited out

Sixth. SDend vour money at

best merchants in the city: it is a

The New York correspondent of

him walking briskly along Broad

red face beaming with a half-cnquU
ring smile, and three or four brown
ringlets poking out from under his
silk hat. He is sixty-four years
old, and looks like a healthy big
baby. When he is in New lork,
he goes everywhere ; walks fast,
dodges into- newspaper offices and
out again ; and evidently tries to
keep himself before the public. At
east he is sure that newspaper men
6hall nst forget him. The father
of Hen'ry Wilson, was a man named

others, and as a New Hampshire
man named Wilson had become
quite a local 'ion by entertaining
Andrew Jackson, Colbath became
lenry Wilson. If you carefully
watched the acts of the legislatures
of many of the states you would be
urpnsed at the number of people
who, for various reasons, have their
names changed every year ; some
because the names are suggestive
of indelicate subjects; som for good
and sufficient reasons. I have heard
that August Belmont formerly was
inown as bchonberg ; but I have
no reason lor believing the story.

They have, however, one dangerous
power, which they will probably
use. Ihey may impeach uovernor
Chamberlain, and having done so,
however uniust or untrue, may be
the articles of impeachment, they
have the effect by the laws of that
State of suspending the Governor
from office until after the judge

is little less than a war of barbarism
against what remains of civilization

How Scholars are Made-
Costly apparatus and splendid
cabinets have no magical power to
make scholars. In all circumstan
ces, as a man is, under God, the
master of his own fortune, so he is
master of his own mind. The Cre
ator has so constituted the human
intellect that it can only grow by its
own action and free will it will
certainl and necessarily trrow.
Everr man must, therefore, educate
himself. Wis book and teacher are
but helps : tho work is his. A man
is not educated until he has the
ability to summon in an emergency
all his mental powers
exercise to effect his proposed ob
ject. It is not the man who has seen
most, or read most, who can do this;
such a one is in danger of being
borne down like a beast of iburden,
by an over-loaded mass of other
men's thoughts. Nor is it the man
who can boast of native vigor and
capacity. The greatest of all war
riors in the siege of Troy had the
pre-eminence because self-discipline
had taught him how to usa hi3 bow.
