BOABDINO MADAME NILSSON. SITTING UP WITH HEB. J3u0inf00 (Saris. Business €arbs. ESTATE OFFICE OF C. B. THOMPSON, A New York letter to the Boston Saturday Gazette says: Mme. Nilsson Itouzeaud has changed her auarters from the Clarendon to the Windsor hotel. She suddenly took the notion into her head, without as much as "by your leave" to Mr. Strakosch, who foots the hotel bills, and might therefore be supposed to take some interest. Nilsson is a willful creaturo, and extravagant, too with other people's money. Mr. Strakoscli's contract with tier Is that he shall pay all her expenses. That includes hotel bill for self, husband, man servant, and niaiu servant, horse and carriage, amounting to $.'{00 a week. She has always boarded at the Clarendon until this freak for living at tiie Windsor took possession of her. It was Mr. StrakoBch's bargain to pay her expenses at a "first-class" hotel; and no one can deny but that the Clarendon meets every requirement in that respect. You would scarcely believe the items that Mme. Nilsson has on her bill for Mr. Strakosch to pay: there is washing, newspapers and postage stamps, all charged to him. Whether Nilsson acknowledges any personal expenses at all is the question. She has already received for this year $04,000 in gold, so one would suppose that she might keep herself in postage stamps. During a recent visit to Philadelphia, the orchestra of the troupe thought they would give their prima donna a serenade; it would be a good advertisement and let theppople know that Mme. Nilsson had really arrived in town. They came and played under her window at the Continental, and were invited in to champagne by the fair cantatrice, and they drank and were merry. The next day Strakosch received a bill of $80 for champagne. While out in Chicago, Nilsson wanted to attend the theatre; so she took a box and a carraige and invited her frieuds, and sent the bill to Mr. Strakosch. No wonder that she has made money and Strakosch had lost. His expenses have been three hundred thousand dollars, and her's nothing. That he is poorer to-day by ten thousand than the day he opened last fall, is not surprising to those who know the ins and outs of the business. Mme. Nilsson has nothing to do with her money but to bank it or speculate with it. When her friends have expostulated with Mr. Strakoscli for paying Nilsson's ridiculous demands, lie would reply that it was only a lew dollars and he would rather pay it than have the row that would ensue if he should refuse. It is unfortunate that an artist with Nilsson's reputation should have such smallness. It may be that having been elevated from want to luxury, she has not even gotten quite used to the easy way she can make money, which makes her as careful of the pennies as she should be of the pounds.

TUBEftOSES She expected him Sunday night; the parlor curtains were down, the old folks noticed that it was healthy to go to bed at eight o'clock, and Johnny was bribed with a cent to permit himself to be tucked away at sundown. He sneaked up the path, one eye on the dog, the other watching for the "old man," who didn't like him any to well, gave a faint knock at the door, and it was opened, and ho was escorted into the parlor. He said he couldn't stay but a minute, though he didn't mean to go home for hours. She wanted to know how his mother was; if his father had returned from York State ; if his brother Kill's rheumatism was any better; and ho went over and sat down on the sofa so as not to strain his voice. Then conversation flagged, and he played with his hat and she nibbled at the sofa tidy.— He finally said that it was a beautiful evening, and she replied that her grandfather predicted a snow storm. He said he guessed it wouldn't snow, as the moon wasn't crooked enough to hang a- powder horn on the end, and she said she didn't believe it would either. The mutual understanding seemed to give them courasre, aud he wanted, to know if she had seen Hill Jones lately. She hadn't she said and she didn't want to. Then they went to talking about the donation visit which was to be given to Elder Berrv, and he carelessly dropped his hand on hers—his right hand, while his left hand sneaked under the sofa to get behind her shoulders. She pretended not to notice it, and he looked down at his boots, aud wanted to know if she thought mutton tallow rotted out boots faster than lard and lampblack. She couldn't say, but she had an idea that it did. He had just commenced to look fingers with her, when she discovered that something ailed the lamp. She rose up, and turned the light down a little, making the room look dim. It took him five minutes to get hold of her fingers again, and she pretended to waut to draw her hand away all the time. After a long pause he lowered Ills voice to a whisper, and said he didn't seo what made folks love each other. She bit her handkerchief and admitted her ignorance. He said he could name a dozen young men who were going to get married right away, and his left arm fell down and gave her a hug. Then he went over and looked out of the window to make sure that it was or was not going to snow, and, coming back, he turned the light down a little more, and then sat down and wanted to know if she didn't want to rest herself by leaning her head on his shoulder.

The undersigned has lately purchased the Hotel property known as the Swan Hotel, in the borough of Pitl.ton, and is now prepared to meet the demand. of the public for a fr.Ucla.. TO BUILDERS Jobbers of Years ago I was an earnest advocate ofsliort courtships; but since then, having seen more of the world, have changed my opinion, and now think that, in the majority ot cases, the longer the courtship the more happiness will fall to the parties concerned. It is a singular fact that a man g3nerally requires very different qualities In a wife from those he admires in a sweetheart. Wbilea lover he expected to see his future wife neatly and stylishly dressed whenever he chose to call, either morning or evening ; and the girl'busied her little brain all day in efforts to please his taate. If he left for a few days, he sent letters full of sweet nothings that filled her soul with joy. Then came delighful rambiings in the moonlight, and hours in charming tete-a-tetcs after the family have retired, when the two souls saw no one but each other in thsir world of love. Alas, that such bliss must ever be dispelled! Time brought preparations for the approaching wedding,for this devoted couple imagined that their happiness could never be complete until the hymenial knot was tied. 80 the wedding and honeymoon were soon over, and the parties settled into the matter-of-fact of life. The bride knows nothing of housekeeping. Since her school-days she spent her time in studying the tastes of her lover, which certainly seemed to incline toward dress and sentimentality. Now, alas ! she discovers that his stomach demands food of the best quality, and because she knows not how to cater to his palate his love seems to be waning. While he is vainly trying to appease hunger with sour steak, little does he appreciate the sweet nonsense aud honeyed words which used to be satisfying to his sentimental nature. Ah, men are so unreasonable ! They expect to find every quality of excellence in the women they marry ; and what have they to give in return ? It seems impossible that those delicate attentions which characterize the lover should be so withdrawn by the husband. The other day, when I heard a neighbor demanding his dinner in not the most pleasant tone. I thought, "Can it be possible that he ever played the ardent lover to that pale, dejected woman whom he calls his wife ?" The lover who could scarcely tear himself away from his sweetheart at miduight is the same man who now leaves his wife to spend her evenings as best she may, while he passes his hours In doubtful enjoyment. Ah, how soon men forget the solemn vow to love and cherish till death I And how many women regret that the charming delusions of courtship were ever exchanged for the unpleasant realities of marriage ! PRODUCE & POVISIONS, STONE QUAItKY A Farm in Wyoming Co. 9 miles from Pittston. Two Vacant Lots on Luzerne Avenue, West Pittston. A story is told of Gov. Chittenden, who was one of the early Governors of Vermont. He was quite an extensive farmer, and in those days to be Governor did not greatly interfere with the incumbent's ordinary vocation, as the Legislature was rarely in session longer than thirty days, and the Governor only resided at the capital during the session. Gov. C. had two sons. One of them was a boy of bright intellect, and the ether decidedly dull. The old gentleman thought that nature had done enough for the younger, and that he would make his way in the world with a common school education, but that the elder one would need all the aid of a liberal education to make up the natural deficiency, and ho was accordingly sent to college while his brother was kept on a farm. It happened one spring that among the fruits of the Governor's herds was a very stupid calf; it would not suck or drink, and no amount of effort on tbe'part of the father, son, or "hired man," could induce him to take his sustenance. After repeated trials the good man's patience gave out and he said to his son: "Freeman, what on earth shall we do with that stupid fool?" "I don't know, father," was the ready response, "unless we send him to college with Martin." The undersigned hereby gives notice that he is operating a very excellent Mtone (Quarry in the Borough of Pitteton, and that he Is prepared to furnish Building Stone of all kind., and to take contracts for Wall* and Excavations,and warrant* to do all bta work in a flr.t class manner.

This virtue gave it attraction, and there are few of our elders who have not been thrilled by the ditl'usive burning harangue of the stump; but to our ears the wild cry of the bird of freedom has become a disagreeable squawk. After a while its voice got into ttie throats of demagogues oftener than those of true men, and thus it went out of fashion. Now, when a man begins to talk about this great and glorious country; and her manifest destiny, we suspect him of a scheme to obtain land grants or subventions for steamboat lines—to extend the area of freedom. When he speaks of the sutleriugs of his community through the want of internal improvements, we suspect him of a desire to get his hand into the mail-oag ; and when he says he is ready to lay down his life on the altar of liberty, our suspicions grow almost to convictions. If, in addition to this, he invokes the name of his Maker as to tne purity and patriotism of his motives, our nund is made up. MRS- MAHY J.

"That Is the sweetest bell, in the city" said Finner, as the vibrations reached his ear from a church tpwer. A pretty girl was passing and acknowledged the compliment with a blush and languishiug smile, while she murmured to herself, "He is very bold in his compliments for a stranger, but its nice to be appreciated."

PHILADELPHIA A Brook field man who came to Pittston for a fortnight's visit, and was obliged to leave at the end of the first week, told his host that lie would take the balance in money. M*r27--'7J Foolish spending la the father of poverty. Do not be ashamed of work. Work for the beet salary or wages you can get, but work for half price rather than be Idle. Be your own master, and do not let society and fashion swallow up your Individuality. Compel the selfish body to spare something for profits saved. Be stingy to your own appetite, but merciful to others' necessities. Help others, and ask not help for yourself. See that you are proud, but let your pride be of the right kind. Be too proud to be lazy ; too proud to give up without conquering every difficulty ; too proud to wear a coat you cannot buy; too proud to be in company you cannot keep up with in expenses; too proud to lie, or steal or cheat; too proud to be stingy. gOLTON'S HOTEL, QTL !
