After we had looked over the books Miss Blake suddenly arose and left the room, saying that she wanted to speak with Aunt Betsy about some food for Mrs. Belong; she would be back presently. When she was gone an awkward silence ensued. I scarcely knew what to say. Thoughts of Miss Hamilton's note kept thrusting themselves upon my mind. Hattie was unusually silent too. I wondered what could be the cause of it. She was not unwell, her face looked to rosy bright and happy for that. rimanded for passing entire nights over the history of the "Seven Years' War" and the study of the plans of battle adopted by that illustrious Captain. At the outbreak of the first war of Schleswig-IIolstein, in 184S, he was assigned to the staff of the Commander-in-Chief of the Prussian forces, Gen. von Wrangle, when, at the battle of Schleswig, his impetuosity and his entire disregard of all danger, while imperilling his life at every instant, did not fail to encourage the troops, and materially aided in securing the victory to the Prussian eagle. Buring the campaign iu Baden in 1849 he likewise distinguished himself 011 various occasions. Fifteen years of peace now followed, during which the Prince resumed his theoretical studies of the science of war, made himself familiar with all branches of the army, and showed conclusively his superior talent for the organization as well as for the skillful disposition of largearmies. I hate dist rust and suspicion, and should be the last to engender sueh a feeling in anybody toward mankind. But I also hate to see girls die broken-hearted, or their lives blasted by tire rascality of some heartless, unprincipled, villain, when all the evil might have been averted by mere womanly, sensible prudence. A man, whether honorable or dishonorable, admires a girl all the more for the cxercise of discretion and care in regard to her associations. It is an established fact that a man may seem to be all that is worthy and desirable, and yet in reality not be fit to step across the outer threshold of an honest man's house, much less permitted to open his abominable lips in courtly speech to an innocent, unsuspecting girl.

Suddenly the thought struck me that I would take Hattie completely into my confidence. Perhaps her womanly instinct could point out to me the proper course to pursue. Instantly I walked to the divan, upon which she was seated, sat down beside her and took her hand in mine. Having done this a feeling of intolerable bashfulness came over me. I became sensible of the awkwardness of my position. How could I make her understand the case witho&t alluding to that miserable mishap of the night when we danced together. How, indeed, could I tell her anything about it? It seemed to me it would be indelicate, though such a thought had not before entered my mind. Hattie looked up into my face, blushing and smiling faintly, but oh! very sweetly, as though she expected me to speak. WILKES-BARRE, PA. Office on Main St., above Z. Bennett's Store.

Oh, my heart grows weak at a woman's. And the fountains of feeling will flow, When I think of the paths steep and stony, Where the feet of the dear ones must go; Of the mountains of sin hanging o'er them, Of the tempest of Fate blowing wild; Oh 1 there is nothing on earth half so holy As the innocent heart of a child! Now that the summer has come, and tourists and city-bred fellows are straggling around through the country, let the girls bear this sad story in mind. Be civil and courteous, but don't open the door of your heart to everybody who happens to dress well, and can turn compliments more graciously than the honest and perhaps awkward country boys of your own neighborhood. Be too proud to become a prey to these gormandizers of human hearts, who give, gratuitous love-lessons during the summer, and laugh all through the autumn at your wonderful aptness. It is hard and ugly to be so particular, I know, but it pays in the end ; and haven't you read, time and again, that all that glitters is not gold? —"Why is that waiter so slow ?" said an irritable customer to the proprietor of a famous Parisian restaurant.

Main St., Pittston, near Store of L. Ackley A Co. June 23,1870-ly The disregard of treaties by Denmark, resulting in a declaration of war against that Power by Austria and Prussia; the second campaign of Schleswig-Holstein was soon entered upon, and although Gen. von Wrangle was at first appointed Commander-in-Chief of the combined armies, the command of the Prussian division was intrusted to Prince Frederick Charles, December 15, 1863. He at once recognized the fortified place of Diippel to be one of the greatest Danish strongholds, and a formidable barrier to the advance of the German armies hito Danish territory. He therefore decided upon a regular siege and investment of the position. The severity of the Winter in these Northern latitudes interfered considerably with his operations, and it was not until April, 1804, that he thought safe to order first the bombardment and then the storming of the fortifications. Twice the assault was repulsed with serious slaughter, until at bust the intrepid commander grasped the flag of the regiment of Royal Guards and, personally leading his troops to a third attack, drove the enemy out of his stronghold and gained a decided victory, the Danes losing over 5,000 men and 118 pieces of artillery. Being defeated in several other important engagements, the Danes saw the impossibility of further resistance, and a treaty of peace was signed on October 30, 1864. At the outbreak of hostilities between Prussia and Austria in 1866, Prince Fred' erick Charles was called to the command of the First Division of the Prussian army, immediately marched his troops to the frontier, which he crossed on June 23, and in ordering the attack upon the forces of the enemy, addressed his men with the words: "May your hearts beat toward God and your fists upon the enemy." A succession of splendid victories at Licbenau, Turnau, Podol, Miincliengratz and Gitschin, having forced the enemy into the interior of Bohemia, Prince Frederick Charles, who knew the Austrians to have occupied a formidable position 011 the bights, beyond the Bistritz, requested the Crown Prince Frederick William to come to his assistance with the Second Division of the army, but attacked the enemy 011 the morning of July 3, without awaiting his arrival. The Prussians fought desperately, but the position of the enemy was so well chosen, and their artillery so favorably placed, that the Prince could not gain a decided advantage over them, and it was not until the arrival of the Second Division under the Crown Prince, that the enemy lost ground, retreated under the deadly fire of the Prussians, and was finally completely routed, running in all directions, and in the wildest confusion. This ended the celebrated battle of Sadowa. The enemy was pursued from the 5tli to the 12th. Brunn was taken, and the Prussian troops found themselves near the Capital of Austria, ready, at a moment's notice, to march upon Vienna. The interference of France, resulted in the treaty of Prague, this ever memorable campaign was at an end, Austrift humiliated, and her former military prestige lost forever. As might be anticipated from a man who had taken such a conspicuous part in the brilliant achievements of the Prussian army, our hero, although proud of his troops, and willingly admitting their superiority over any European army which could then be marshaled against them, had nevertheless become aware of some serious drawbacks and errors hitherto [overlooked in the organization of the Prussian army, and at once concluded to advocate such reforms as his experience had convinced him to be absolutely necessary. Meeting with opposition in high quarters, he is said to have resolved to submit his opinions to the approval of the highest military authorities, and it is generally believed he is the author of an anonymous pamphlet published in Frankfort, which has attracted the greatest attention from the Government, and has been the cause of the recent important reforms in the Prussian army.—Ar.

WE TRY TO PLEASE ALL. June 30,1870-ly —Patrick saw a bull pawing in a field, and thought what fun it would be to jump over, catch him by the horns, and rub his nose in the dirt. The idea was so funny that he laid down and laughed to think of it. The more he thought of it the funnier it seemed, and he determined to do it. Bovus quickly tossed him over the fence again, somewhat bruised. Pat leisurely picked himself up, with the consolatory reflection: May 16th, '67, My wife is sitting by me as I write, and, as I look upon her beautiful face, certain recollections come up which I will note down even though they be but transcripts of former letters to you.

" I have for my neighbor, in the country, a man who was recently seized with congestion of the brain. His old servant became alarmed, and had scarcely time to scream for help when she fainted.

My neighbor's life was saved. The workman returned to his task. I said to my neighbor. ' But for Norman you would have been a dead man. I hope you intend to reward him liberally?' ' Yes, indeed, I intend to give him forty francs.' I met my neighbor a few days afterwards, and said to him. ' Well, have you rewarded Norman ?' ' No, not yet, but he will lose nothing by waiting I said I would give him ten francs, and when I say a thing it is as good as done.' A week passed away. 'Have you seen Norman?' 'Norman—ah,Norman ! NO, I haven't met him yet; but I am fattening a rabit—a first-rate rabbit. Oh, I'm not a man to forget a service.' A fortnight passed away. 'Well, is your rabbit fat? 'As fat as a patridge.

She desired a private conference with me, and, for that purpose, asked that I would call at the Mansion on the afternoon of the succeeding day. She added by way of a post script that she was " a lone, unprotected weak woman," and I was expected to make such reparation for the irremediable injury I had done her as the circumstances of her position required.

The girls, as they looked at the plate, seemed astonished and amused ; and the young man, taking a glance at the plate, found that, instead of a nickle five-cent piece, he had a conversation lozenge, with the words "Will you marry me?" in red letters, staring everybody right in the, face.

June 30, '70—ly Frince Frederick Charles of Frussia, "^7"AGON MAKING This very highly distinguished Prince, present Commander-in-Chief of the Prussian army on the Rhine, son of Prince Prederick, was born March 20, 1828. He is the beloved Charles Alexander, and nephew of the King, chief of his army and a man of such extraordinary militatary talents, that we might safely pronounce him a military genius. The eyes of the entire German people are now turned upon him in unlimited trust and confidence. It would be interesting as well as instructive to follow step by step the formation and development of this extraordinary character, but, even if our space did not forbid entering into minute details, the reluctance of the Prince to all publicity, and hia stern refusal to furnish his biographers any information beyond what has already become historical concerning him, would preclude all idea of such an undertaking. Like all Prussian Princes, Frederick Charles had to enter the Prussian army when scarcely ten years old, it being considered necessary that every descendent of the house of Hohenzollern, no matter what his individual inclination may be, should become fully acquainted with the military service of his country, and that whatever career lie may ultimately follow, he may be called upon at any moment to draw his sword for the defence of Fatherland in times of danger. With Frederick Charles, however, there was no need of compulsion. The warlike spirit of his ancestors animated him even in his earliest youth, and induced him to devote himself with enthusiasm to his military studies. The result of this innate love of everything connected with the army, soon became apparent in the rapid progress he made in the military school of instruction. The study of the life and glorious deeds of Frederick the Great filled his leisure hours, and it is said that he was on several occasions severely rep- M. W. DEIGN AN, June 2,1870- N . J .

I had began to flatter myself that I was getting along bravely in the work of conquering my bafthfulnesa, but I found out, upon the reception of this letter, that I had overrated my advancement, for I was thrown into a state of intolerable embarrassment, as I read it and pondered upon its contents. I knew not what to do. Miss Hamilton had, then, returned to the Mansion and was determined further to torture me with demands for reparation for an imaginary injury. "What should I do? It was like being in torment to attempt to decide th is question. I had not the slightest idea of what she required at my hands. DINING SALOON A Word to Young Women. AND RESTAURANT.

"Well, they may get up evor so many rostrums for beautifying the complexion, but, depend upon it, the lftw people have to do with bottles for it, the better.

The readiness with which American girls accept the attention of comparative strangers is forever a matter of astonishment to foreigners. It would be as much a matter of astonishment to ourselves if we once stopped to think about it. A gentleman is easily introduced, a lively conversation follows, calls are made next day and for a week to come, rides, flirtations, and love-making entered upon, and oftentimes, after no more than a fortnight's acquaintance, confidences given that not less' than half a year's acquaintance should warrant.

And shortly afterward we see him again in this cnamber, a youg Senator of the Unitdd States; soon afterward to be at the head of the combined hosts of freedom, leading them to a mighty presidential contest, penetrating the desert and snowy mountains of our politics in order to make a pathway there. If he failed it was only because we all failed, because the Republic at that time failed. The good time had not come when the great cause could triumph ; but Fremont was our leader. As rebellion assumed the part of war, he was again at the post of duty ; and here I otter my homage to that great act of jDolitical wisdohi and humanity, which was more than a.battlc, by which he declared emancipation at the head of his army.

Meantime I had got to feeling very strangely when in the presence ofHattie. I was perfectly free from bashfulness, and yet there would come over me a certain feeling of reverential restraint. This however, served only to heighten my enjoyment of the time spent in her presence. Nor did it prevent me from making her my confidante as I have never made any one else, save yourself. The Strong Steam Mill, A case of this sort of eager intimacy occurred in a pretty inland town not more than three hundred miles- from New, York, which resulted disastrously. A young, man stopping temporarily in the town, saw and fancied a young lady upon the street, ascertained her name, etc., forged a letter of introduction, presented it, with himself, and was most cordially received by the young lady and her parents. Walks, rides, and excursions ensued, and in less than a month the two were married. Almost immediately, the true character of the "handsome, agreeable, and intelligent young man," came to light. He was a roue, a gambler, and had a wife in a distant State. He was arrested, tried for bigamy, and sentenced to Auburn State Prison for five years. The girl died of a broken heart, and her mother, overwhelmed with grief, soon j followed her to the grave. —The Providence Journal says: Of old Dr. Ciay, of Hingham, a very good story is told. Riding into Boston one day over tlieNeck, where the public gallows stood, a young clergyman, who was in the vehicle with him said : " Dr. Gay, if the gallows had its due, where would you be?" " Riding into Boston alone," was the reply. The Boston Transcript adds : The locality of this anecdote reminds us of another in -which " correspondents " may find a hint. Further down on the South Shore were two clergymen—one remarkable for his dry humor; and the other for his prolixity. The former, meeting the latter, asked him to preach for him at his "Preparatory Lecture." The latter replied that he could not, as he was busy writing a sermon on the " Golden Calf." "That's just the thing," was the rejoinder; "come and give us a forequarter of it," MCDOUGALL'S CENTRAL BOOK AND MUSIC STORE, Opposite Cooper's Hall, Keeps constantly on hand a good assortment ol Books, Music, and Stationery of all kinds.
