THE NATURAL HISTORY OF ' COURTERS." Courters are as varied in their views and aspects ae members of Congress on the taniff question, but not 4 whit more abused. " The" bashful courier 1s generally some callow youth, who has thought it necessary 10 make love Because it is a custom of the male sex, and not on account of any ardent desire that he is inspired with, He seems half afraid of the courtee, seats himeelfin a distant corner, and fidgets nervously when shie comes ton near him, He will olten ye- main dumb lor an hour at a time, while the courtee has to ammuse herseit m the best way she can. Callgrs come and go, rivals pop in and out, the fleeting hours of even- ing pass, mater-famw/ias flits into the room tosee if her daughter has company, B. C. sits, uninteresting and uninterested, a sort of wooden Cupid, impressive from its very impassibility and dead weight. When at last approaching midnight warns the B. C. thatitis time he shonld go home to his mother, he mutters to the yawning courtee that Lie thinks it is getting late, rearches for hig hat that he has secreted on his entrance in some out-of-the-way place, and: glides like the ghost of Love past the courtee, who holds the door open for him. Itis then only that he finds conrnge 10 pass a compliment ou the conrtee, who is so mach startled by the unexpected event that she has been known immediately on his departure to ask her ma what the B. C. could possibly mean. The B. C. is quite an enigma to most young ladies. They do not nuderstand him, he appears so odd and out of place. Con- sequently, their curiosity is exciled, and as a natural Lonsequepce, their, interest., To the astonishment of men who would have thonght themselves disgraced in being con- sidered his rivals, the B. C. i found to have won the belle of a circle; though how the thing was done is one of those mysteries that society and old women can never fully account for in gossiping dis- cussions ; but they are, perhaps, no more astonished than the B. C. himself, who is quite aware that he is a stick, and finds himself married he does not know how--= though, perhaps,the courtee's mamma could enlighten him on the subject. After mariage, the B. C. suddenly be- comes cheeky. The veil of mystery that enveloped the fair sex has been lifted, he has ceased to be awed, and become the most gallant man of his circle. The Conceited Courter is the langhing- = them immense amusement, and bis self-importance they delight, after increasing, to suddenly anhi- hilate with a blasting ¢ No!"

Cour- tees of low inatincts often pretend to be at tached to the E. C., that they may receive his favors. He is generally a youth of lintle discretion, though he is an old bachelor, where long repressed loxu- riousness is having 1s natural revenge. The E. C. is a most unfortunate individual, He 18 impelled to ruin himself financially and morally by his insane desire to bind the courtee to him with gifts. For this purpose he often robs his employer's till, and has been known to pawn his own watch to buy a diamond ring for the courtee. His efforts at presentagiving areviewed with suspicion. calls her daughter fool, goose, stupid, and other sweet endearing terms and there isa weeping-and wailing anil flirting of eKits, Mater rushes up stairs to disturb patér's peace, aud vent her burnsng mdiguation on his night-capped head, He phisophically, though sleepily, asserts that it isn't as bad as it might be. This adds fuel to the fire of Mater's wrath, and she nfakes up her mind that there shall be no sleep that night. Meantime a willowy figure has been slober- ing and blubbering, and, after wildly re- solving to commit suicide, run away, and work for a living, becomes more quiet, and sternly determines to stick to Charlie at all hazards--then mildly goes to bed. Next morning revives the maternal lecture j there is excitementin the Louse ; entreaties,tears, and sensible courtees a1e apt to hesitate be- fore committing themselves with the E. C. though mercenary girls look at him as a harvest, indeeil. Large cities are Hy infested with E. sl ing of doors, scold , Every one --the children impudent, brcther Tom, even Biddy--knows that Lucy has made a long engagement. Mer sisters jeer at her, and her brothers leer at her; worse, the servants C.'s, and employers should oftener inquire into the style ot their employees' court- offer her simpathy. However, Luoy is firm. She will wait for Charlie, though 1t were-a hand ships, than 'as to their religious or pol opinions. Certainly there is more pecon- 1ary interests in the inquiry--for, as clerks say, ¢ It ia the boss who pays for the wagon' when the E. C. goes a riding with his Mary Ann, There is a vulgar idea that half of the young swells who delight their couriees { years, He comes every night. The other ladies of the family meet him. He ie in the way. Hes always in the par- lor. There is, no privacy in the house. They cannot feel ai liberty with their com- pany, for he is alwaws looking on. How- ever, they are marries, have children ; with Sunday riding, have no stockings un- der their boots, and that an hour before the ride, the C, E. 1s in distress trying to bor- row a shirt, as bis own lave been seized by an exasperated unpaid washerwoman, in consequence of the boss looking "10 sharp" after the cash-box. Be that as it may, the C. E. often stands at the bar of Justice 1n- stead of the aliar of Ilymen. The Shortest" Courter is the gentleman who enlightens Lis courtee on the business sransactions of the day. He never thakes makes love direcily. By asserting that rice. or sugar has advanced, and that he has a large stock on hand, he thinks he conveys to the .mind of his courtee that he is soon hikely to be in a position to marry, and of course he is knowing enough to discover who is the fortanate bride eleet, TheS. C. isa great nuisance to the fair sex. Few ladies care to hear dissertations on the stock market; and the intricacies of the last trial case of the constitutionality of a law bewild- by a handsome young lawyer; but when a dry-goods merchant amorously informs his courtee that silks are rising, she must feel disgusted ; or when a putty dealer fond. ly hopes that his courtee must sympathise with him 'in the fall of oil, paint, and putty, it must be that Love will rush out of the room for a scent bottle. 5 | The Jealous Courter is an ill-conditioned dog who keeps a growling and barking to the disgust of all who have anything to do with him. How the courtee never consents to wed him is at first sight a misery. That many-springled eliptic, the female mind, has peeuhar and startling methods of action revealing its secret only when pressed against, and when une xeited, appearing fat and uninteresting. A courtee, when she and numerous soothsayers were forielling all sorts of rongh things for the future. if she lover; it showed that he was on the watch, and felt interested ; she would not have one of those tame men who did not care wheth- er or no she flirted, for then there was no pleasure in coquetting ; but to have a jolly row and a quarrel, and a slamming of the door, and looks of defi on ing, and chr g Idings ; deaths fol- low births ja new generation is sprouting up-- and poor Lucy, seeing marks of pro- gress all around her, feels old and deserted, though she is still haunted by her 8. Y. C. Nobody teases her now ; she is severely let alone. The meekest of virging can eadure it no longer ; she informs the S. Y. €. that he has worn out all the chairs in the house, and her mother cant afford to buy new ones for hit. He considers the remark an insult; quarrells, leaves, vowing never lo return. But the force of habit brings him back next night, when he sees mamma, who arranged that he will become a Bendict in a month from date--or after seven years of courtship. Months of courtship may be very sweety bu years of linked sweetness long drawn out become like stale sausages, nauseous and should be abolished by the Board of Health. One Month Courter, in these fast days, when there is no lime for lagging or wast- ing on preliminaries, is the beau ideal of courters. In courtship, as in everything else, there is ouly just so much happiness. Long courtships are like weak tea, too much diluted to be agreeable ; while short court- Let us remember, first, that this word " infidel," is but the, puppet of geography, and that wq who use itn stich a case do but expose our own servitude to a local nafrow- ness.

Sentinel tells a strange story about a man-beast, lately discovered wthe vicinity of Oak Creek, Wisconsin. For some months thie farmers of that neigh- borhood have been annoyed: by the disap- pearance of their fowls. Doors were open- ed and roosts were robbed in the most sum- mary and mysterious manner, and some- times even lambs disappeared. That these were not stolen by some human hands was thonght to be evident from the marks around of the fowls being ealen on the spot. One farmer deterfiined to solve the mystery, and so rifle wo hand he watched his premises. At about 11 o'clock he discovered an ani- mal of some kind approaching his hen-hovee with stealiey step, sometifes going on all fours and sometimes erect. - He fired, and a piercing shriek, like that of a human being showed that the creature had been hit. Iu nevertheless made off for the woods, where it was seen the subsequent day, having the thé face and hands of a human being, and the bairy body of a beast, But though wounded, it made ils escape, and though subsequently seen again, had not been cap- tured at last accounts. ships are highly-condenseyl sips of pl -- little in quantity, it is true, but what there is of them is the double distilled essence.

Netiher the courtee or her mamma are the least startled when he makes an offer after the short term of one month's allentivns, any more than they would be surprised to lear that a locomo- motive travelled as far in an hour as a wagon in a day.

A young woman, not of the lowest class of population, was to be beheaded for grauty- sons. ana marnied another girl. Tho deserted mistress, to revenge herssit, set fire to the house and several persons perished in the flames. She was arrested, convicted, and jast at tbe moment when the executioner bared her neck and was about to fasten her fied the doumbiounded officers to take her. They rushed upon her, and finally, after she had slightly wounded some of them in the scuffle she was knocked down and handenffed. She uttered wild, ternble screams all the while, and the executioner and his men tried to dispatch hgr as quickly an possible. They tore her dress from her shoulders, tied her feet and dragged her to the block: Alhough sne still screamed and resisted to the best of her power the leather stap on the block by which the head of the victim is drawn forward, was soon slipped over it, und the executioner seized the axe. Unfortunately the dreadful scene: had made him quite nervous, and, on striking her, he missed her neek, and cut deeply into her shoulder and back. The blood rushed from the fearful wound, and the screams of the unfortunate woman grew heartrending be- yond description. A second blow, dealt her a few seconds afterward, finally put a stop to her sufferings.
