SIX LOYE LETTERS. "Are there any more of these letters?" When her father risked this question in an awfal tone, LncilU Richmond cnald not j "No," and dared not say "Yes," but as -an intermediate course, burst into tears, mnd sobbed behind her h indkerchicf. "Bring them to me, Lucilla," said her father, as if she had answered him, as, in deed, the had; and the girl, trembling and weeping, arose to obey him. Then Mrs. Richmond, her daughter's very K grown older, came behind her huaband's chair, and patted him on the shoulder. "Please don't be hard with her, my dear," be said, oaxingly. "He's a tvee young nan, and it is our fault, after all, as much as hers, and you won't break her young heart, I'm sure." "Perhapsyoa approve of tbe whole n flair, ma'am," said Mr. Richmond. "I no that is, I only" gasped the lit tle woman; and, hearing Lucilla coming, alia sank into a chair, blaming herself dread tally for not haring been present nt all of her daughter's music lesions during tho past year. For all this disturbance arose from a HTOiic teachrr who had been gWing lessons to .Mist Lucilla for twelve months, and who Had taken the liberty to fall in love with bar, knowing well that she was the diugh ter of one of tbe richest men in Yorkshire. "It was inexcusable in a poor music ttaeber, who should have known his p'.nce," Mr. Richmond declared; and he clutched the little perfumed billet which bid fallen iat Us hands as he might a scorpion, and watted for the ethers, with a look upon hit ftte"4raieh tali of no ooftening. Tbey m at !at, tix littli white envelopes, tied together with bine ribbon, and were laid at Bt Jbo.w by bis despairing daughter. "Loeftheie up until I return homo this trrentnr," he tald to his wife. "I will read them then. Meanwhile, Lucilla U not to drte the.sausic matter on any pretense." Aad then Miss LucilU went down uponher aatsV Ob, dear papa ! she cried, "dear tMt papa, pleae don't sat I mut nevrr a-e kia kgtia. I couldn't 'bear it. Indeed I ttoald not. He poor, I know, hut he's a gentlest; aad I I like him so mu-h, papa," "N wore of thin absurdity, my dear," aid Mr. Richmond; "he haa been artful enough to mnke you think him perfection, t suppose. Your parents know what i best for your happiness. A music teacher it Ota match for Miss Richmond." With which remarks, Mr. Richmond put OB hit hat and overcoat, and departed. Then Lucilla and her mother took the Opportunity of falling into each other't rat. "It's to ninrbtv of you," said Mrs. Rich toad. "" "Bat, oh, dear, I can't blame you. It.waa. exactly to witn me. 1 ran away itb your papa, yoa know, and my parents objected because of hit poverty. I feel the CttttMi sympathy for you, and Frederick UMtaakilae eyes, and it to pleasing. I with I could toftenyour papa." "ffaea aeaaaeen tbe letters there'll be bo hope, Vm Terr much afraid," sobbed MiM tneilla. "Fred is to romantic, and papa-hat romance." "Ha tued to be Terr romaatic, in those M ay," taid Mrs. Richmond. "Such lttiiw aa he wrote me. I bare them in my sMkel. He taid he should die if I re- "Sqoaa-lred," said XucLHa. "Aadtaat lifo would ba,wortUesi with oaimt; aad about my tieing "beautiful, (he thought so, yoa know). I'm sure be ought to sympathize a little," taid Mrs. Richmond. But she dared not promise that be would. Sht coaxed her darling to ttop crying, and made her lie down; then went op' into her own room to put tbe letters into her desk; and at tbe placed them into one pigeon-hole, the taw in another a bundle, tied exactly as those were, and drew tbem out. These letters were to a Lucilla also. One who had received them twenty veart before and she wat now a matron old enough to have a daughter wbo had neart troubles unfolded them one by one, wondering how it came to past tbatlovera were all to much aiice. Half a dozen just the tame, and more romantic than those tbe music matter bad written to her Lucilla. A strange idea came into Mrs. Richmond'! mind. She dared not oppose her husband ; by a look or word she had never attempted such a. thing. Bat she was very fond of her daughter. When she left the desk, she looked guilty nnd frightened, and something in her pock et rustled as she moved. But she said nothing on the subject until the dinner ar rived, and with it came her husband, more angry and determined than ever. The meal was passed in silence; then, having ad journed to ths parlor, Mr. Richmond teated bimteil in a great arm-cnair, ana demand ed: "The letters!" in a voice of thunder. Mrs. Richmond put her hand into her pocket, and pulled it out t join with a fright ened look. Mr. Richmond again repeated, ttill more tternly : "Those absurd letters, if you please, ma'm." And then the little woman faltered: "I that is I believe yes, dear I be lieve I have them;" and gave him a pile of whito envelopes, encircled with blue ribbon, with a hand that trembled liko an aspen leaf. . As for Lucilla, the beagan to weep ns though the end of all things bad come at lust, nnd felt sure that if papa should prove cruel, she thould die. "Six letters six shameful pieces of de ception, Lucilla;" said the indignant parent. "I am shocked that a child of mine should Sractico such depravity. Hem! letmesce. umber one, I believe. Juue, and this is December. Half a year you have deceived us, then, Lncilla. Let me sec ah! From tbe first moment ho adored you, eh? Non sense. People don't fall in love in that absurd manner. It takes years of Ac quittance nnd respect nnd attachment. With your smiles for his goal, he would win both f.imo nnd fortune, poor as he is!" Fiddlesticks, Lucilla' A man who has common sense would always wait until he has a fair start before be proposed to "any girl. 'Praise of your beauty.' 'Thelovelicst creature he ever saw!' Exaggeration, my dear. You are not plain, but such flattery is absurd. 'Mut heir from you, or die!' Dear, dear how absurd!" And then Mr Richmond dropped tho first letter, nnd took up another. "The same stuEF," he commented. "I hope you don't believe a word he says. A plain, earnest, upright sort of a man would never go into such rhapsodies, I am sure. Ah! now, in number three be calls you an 'angel !' He is romantio, upon my word. And what is nil this? Those, who would forbid mo to seo you, can find no fault with me but my poverty. I nm earnest in my efforts. I am by birth a gentleuan, cnl I lore ynu frnm mv soul. Do not let them sell you for gold, Lucilla." "Great heavens! what impertinenco to your parents!" "I don't remember Fred's saying anything of tho kind," said poor Lucilla. "He never knew ynu would object." MrRichmond shook his head, frowned, nd read on in silence until, the lsst sheet lay under bis hand. Then, with an ejacu lation of rage, he started to bis feet. "Infamous!" be cried ;"I'l go to him this institnt I'll horsewhip him ! I'll I'll murder him ! As foryou, by Jove, I'll send you to a convent. I'm ashamed to call you my diughter. Where's my bat? Give me my boots. Here, John, call a cab! I " But here Lucilla caught one arm, and Mrs. Richmond the other. "Oh, papa, ore you crazy?" said Lucilla. "Frederick never proposed such a thing. L't mi see the letter. Oh, pippa, this not Fred's upon my word it is not. Do look, pipa; it is dated twenty years back, and Frederick's name is aot Charles! Papa, these are yourtoveUttersto mamma written long ago. Hsr name is Lucilla, vou know?" Mr. Richmond sat down inais arm chair in siionee, very red in the face. "How did this occur?" he said sternly; and little Mrs. Richmond, retreating into a corner, with a handkerchief to her eyes, sobbed: "did it on purpose f and panted at though she expected a second judgment. But, hearing nothing, the dared at last to rise and creep up to her husband timidly. "Yon know, Charles," the said, "it's to long ago since, and I thought you might not exactly remember howyoa fell in love with me at first sight, how papa and mama objected; at last we ran away together; and it seemed tt me that if we could bring it all back plainly to you as it was then, we might let Lucilla marry the man she likes, who is good if he is not rich. I did not need it to be brought back any plainer my self; women have more time to remember, yoa know. And we have been very happy have we not?" And certainly Mr. Richmond could not deny that. So Lucilla, feeling that her in terests might safely be left in her mother's keeping, slipped out of tbe room, and beard the result of the little .ruse next morning. It was favorable to tbe young teach ir, who bad really only been sentimental, and not gone half so far as an elopement , and in due course of time, the two wero married with all the pomp and grandeur befitting the nuptials of a wealthy merchant's daugh ter, with the approbation of Lucilla't mam ma, who justly believed that her little ruse had brought about all her daughter's happiness. i Wncjt Uora-e Greeley started ths -New Yorker in New York, years ago, he endeav ored to create a sensation by offering prises for tbe best pseau and stories.

"FAT CONRIUBBTOR'S" INTER VIEW WITH GRANT. Grant Gives Some Opinion on Celeb-' ritie, Ifecer Before; Published. Ws"icto Jinuary 16, 1869. I hare just hjd an interticw vitb Gen. Grant, and obtained some of his ideas of public men, not givi-n in the opinions pub lished in the Niw York World, which I herewith aend you. Ben. Franklin is unquestionably a rapid type-sticker, nnd bis enterprise in collect ing the latest news renders him invaluable to an almanac, but be is visionary. His theory about lightning-rods protecting hou ses and barns during a thunder-storm, is one or ttie most absurd things 1 ever neard of. Old Parr is a young man of brilliant tal ents and ambitions, hut he ought to take better ctre of himself. I fear that he is ha-tening to an early crave. Wasnington is an efficient Ueneral of Mi litia, and one of our mot civil engineers. Many h ive censured him for that little af fair with his fther's cherry tree, but I tbink it is time for us to bunj the hatchet. 1 have ..ever seen Webster yet, though 1 have read his Dictionary. It is not surpri sing to mo that a man of so many words wouldn't he President. I consider Col. Crockett to be our great est American humorist, next to Tuppcr. His telling the coon not to rhoot, he would come down out of thi tree, is equal to any thing l hivo rrail in the ulnbe. Georg Francis Train is one of our most noble women. His appeals in behalf of her sex are both powerful and convincing. No one can read her speeches, withonl Deinjr convinced be ought to vote. lirick Pomeroy is tbe modern Alexander the Great, weeping because- thcte are no more Worlds to conquer. What prnfiteth it a man though be cain the whole World nnd lose both his daily and weekly circula tion? I bare nothing ngainst Jeff. Davis in par ticular, that I know of, although be kept me away from my business nt Galena until it was nearly ruined bad to sell out nt a sacrifice. But, no matter for tbat now. Let'us have peace. I have no idea of removing "Nasby" from the post-office. He must be a sub stantial addition to tbe revenue cf the De partment, for his "letters" pass through every post-omce in the united states. Napoleon Bonaparte will orobablr never mingle in public affairs again, so I will tay little noout nim it, However, ns had been elected President of the United States, and attempted to read alLthe petitions and ap plications for office that came, he would nave bsen sent to the Lunatio Asylum in stead of St. Helena. He had a little luck in that particular, at least. Brigbam Young it a multitudinous hut band and a numtrout father, who hat cer tainly done a great deal for Utah. How far ho it going to be allowed to "do" the Unite-! States, remains to bt oeen. ' "J. N." it not to crazy as he might be. I am not tore but he would make a good Secretary of the Treasury. He it in favor of deeding all the land back to the Indiana, and let the Indians tssume the national debt. This would cerainly be an easy and rapid solution of 'our financial difficulties. Peabody is a well meaning man. of much principle upon which ho has realized a great deal of interest, nis princely gift to the uoDutm poor, i jear, is woraing narm. Men who were in comfortable circumstan ces before that donation was made, reduced themselves to abject becgary for the pur pose of getting n portion of the legacy, thereby setting a very bad example indeed. Dan Rice wanted to be President, -nd be may be vet. If he w.is, he would tell out the pubfic buildings, devoting tbe proceeds toward laying tbe National debt, and carry on the government under a canvas, to the music of a band. 1 tt bard to eo back on the habits of a life-time. I should be more contented if there was a tan-vard back of the White House. Fisk it a well-meaning man toward Fisk. He has great versatility of talent, and can run a biz railroad, an onera house. and the Springfield Republican, all at once. He it not a temperance man exactly, but he' don't take hit botch so much as he did. There it a great deal of useless talk about Morriseey's bavins; been in the "ring." A member of JCongress who isn't in tome sort of a4'ring" now-a-dyt it very rare, indeed; aad there are few of those brings" as TV tpectable as tbe prize-ring. Kg men have helped Morrusey to ortune.

IVASBVa Mr. Nbr and New York An Item in the Newspapers betides Him Against Goins to that. Citvt which Decision a Little Arithmetic Reverses. Post Orris, CostsdwtJC Roads, ) (Wich is in the Stoit uv Keaturky,) Febooary 20, 1869. ) I notist in the public prints, (wich con fooshen seeze,) a item to tbe efieck that the leedin Dimocrisy (wich is the men uv welth, wich hcvin stole therselres rich, are ankshus to keep tber welth and be blnatid nriito krats) hev determined to no longer perfect the theeves, bond-robbers, garroters, bur- ?;lers, and sich, who are makin that city ively for thai class, and that when sich are toktn, they must taie ther chances, tha same ez tho tbey lived in other cities. How much it cost em to git the courts for em I don't know; but that our f rends aro to hev a hard time uv it hereafter, is certin. One uv em, a brite and shinin lite, wbo wnx ac cused uv a burglery, complicatid with a murder or two, wuz not only arrestid and tried, but wuz convictid, nnd aentenst to Sing Sing for forty yeers, and another for twenty. At first site, this tettlsd the question uv my goin to Noo York adversely. I tbot to myself, ef thete infatooatid men persist in ther determinashen to hang and imprizen all uv these men onto wich tbey kin git ther hands onto, the Dimokratlc majority in Noo York will fade out like frost under a May tun, and the Republikint will carry it, jilt ez tocn ex the courts git thru with ther woric. How long it will take to kill offtbeDim okratic majority in the city, by law, it very easily atsertaned. Tber is sutbin like twen ty criminal courtt in the city, and I spoz3, ef the Judges push things, etch court kin average one convicksbec a day. We hev a real majority in the city uv 30.000. W bev given ez high ez 70.000, but 40,000 uv tnose wuz repeeters. uw, tf the courts bang and Jmpriznn 20 per day, and bold sesbens six days in tbe week, it wfll take five yeers or theraboutt to wipe out our majority entirely, and throw the city into the bunds uv ourm-.cbrel enemies. Probably it wood ba dun sooner, for the minit they begin hsngin in earnest, pertik clerly ef they commence on our leedin men, the smaller fry will take frito and scatter. It is safe to say that by the next Presidcn shel clcckshun, the majority in the city will oe so rot) o on ez to make tbe State sboor for tbe Rndikles. I bed made up my mind to abandon the ijee uv locatin in Noo York, but a nfter thot changed mv purpose. I thel co to Noo Yo'k. A ordinary State's Prizen will hold fifteen hundred convix. The three or four prizens the State hez is all full, nnd nit one in n thnus md is sent to em who ought to be. T.t u matter uv coarse, new prizens will Iter to be bilt, nnd to accom modate our m ijurity, twenty naw ones will be required. Now, the Court House in Noo York hez nlreddy made the forchoons uv twelve contracktcrs, wieb bev nil retireJ independently rich, and experenced calki Inters hev figgered that twenty more will make ther pile out uv it, afore it 1s finisht. A State's Prizen kin he made to cost ez much ez tho Court House, for uv coarse they will be finisht with all the modern im provements for tbo convix, incloodin gas nnd hot and cold water. Tbe onfortnit men ought to live in the same stile ez nfore ther incarserashen. It wood be crooel to deprive a Alderman or member uv tbe Common Council, or member uv tbe Board uy Eddy ensbun, uv the black walnut furnitoor they hev bin accustomed to. Under our present management, at least 32 men kin be made independent out uv each prizen. 20 times 32 is 640, wich is the precise number uv Dimokratic leeders wbo kin bo made comfortable out uv this misforchoon to the party. Ther is no grate loss, without sum smill gain. While we are redoosin our majority by imprizenin our voters, a pershen U7 us will make our calling sboor, by bildin the prizens to hold em. Who knows but cf I git my grosery startid in time, I kin git into the ring wich bilds one uv them initooshens? And ef one uv em shood be finisht nfore the con trole uv em passes out uv our hands, who knows but I mite perchance be warden uv one uv em? Oh, wat happinis that wood be! Ther, in the conjeenyel sosiety uv Dimokrats, I cood happily 'pass my days. With theprizners I cood hold sweet con verse. We wood fite our politikle battles o'er agin we wood talk uy our carapanes, and compare notes et to wat we bed respec tively dun for Dimocrisy. Tbe rrpeetcrs wood tell how menny times tbey votid at this eleckshun, and how menny at tbat they wood narrate tbe paritkeiert uv tner excurshens to Connecticut, Noo Jersey and Filadelfy; and to the time wood pass chee rily. I can't imajin a more happy posishen for a man uv my tastes, than sich a posishen in StaU'a Prizen in Noo York. Wetbood hev ther a ensiety all uv one kind. Ther wood be no jarrin elemence, no distenshens, (or our ranks wood alius be recrootid from one source. Ther wood be no unplesant relashuns. Ez the Dimocrisy wood hev tbe appintin uv tbe omscrs, tbo ted omsers wood, ef thev continyoo the practis now in vogue in Noo York, be taken from the same class ez tbe convix under em, so that ther wood bft no jellusy or hartburnins. How sweetly time wood glide on! Ez I content plate tbe p'eesin pikter, I do not regret the moovement at all. My haven uy rest, may after nil be a berth in a JNoo York prizen Let it cum. PETROLEUM V.

It is considered an accomplishment for a lady or gentleman to know how to carve well, at his or -her own table. It is not proper to stand in carving. The carving knife should be sharp and thin. To carve fowls (which should alwhyt be laid with their breast uppermost), plsce the tore in tbe breast, and take on tbe wings and legs without tumiog the fowl; then cut the "merry out," cut slices from the breast, take out tho collar bone, cut off the tide pieces, and tben cut tbe carcass in two. Divide the joints in tbe legs of a turkey. In carving a sarloin, cut thin slices from the side next to you ; it must be put on the dish with the tenderloin underneath: then turn it and cut from the tenderloin. Serve the guests to both kinds. In carving a leg of mutton or ham, begin by cutting across tbe middle of the bone. Cot a tongue across and not lengthwise, and serve from the middle part. Carve a fore quarter of lamb by separat ing the shoulder from the ribs, and then divide the ribs. Serve each to piece of kid ney nnd its fat. Carve pork and mutton tbe same way. To carte a fillet of veal, begin at the top and heln to stuffing with each slice. In a breast of veal separate the breast and bris ket, and then cut them up, asking which part it preferred. In carvinz a pie it is customary to divide it, and take off the head before it comes to tbe table, as, to many persons, the head is revolting. Cut off the limbs and divide the ribs. In carvlne venison, make a deep incision down to the bones to let out the juice, then turn the broad end toward you, cutting deep in thin slices. For a saddle of venison cut from the tail toward the other end, on each side, in thin slices. Warm pktes are very necessary with venison and mutton, and in winter aro desirable for all meals. Nosb Bleed. There are two little nrter. ics wbich supply the whole face with blood, one on each side; these branch off from the main arteries on each side of the windpipe and running upward toward the eyes, pass over the outside of the jawbone, about two thirds of tbe w.av back from the chin to tbe angle of the jaw, under the ear. Each of these arteries, of course, supplies one-half the face, the nose beinir the dividing line. ihe left nostrils is supplied by the left nr- :ery, anu sue rignt nostril by the right artery. Now, supposing your nose bleeds from the right nostril with the er.d of the right fore fineer feel alons tbe outer edse of the i w until you feel tbo beating of the artery di rectly uw&er your finger, the same as the pulic in your wrist, then press tho finger upon it, thus getting tbe little fellow in a tight place between your finger and the jawbone; tbe result will be that not a drop or blood goes into tbat side ot your iacel while tbe pressure continues; hence tbe nose instantly stops bleeding for want of I.Iood to flow; continue the pressure for five or ten minutes, and tha rnpturcd ves sels in the nose will probably contract so tbat when you let tbe blood into them they will not leak. Bleeding from a cut or wound anywhere about the face may be stopped in the same way. The Creator, probably, placed these arteries as they are that th-y might be controlled. Those to the back of the head, arms and legs are all arranged very conveniently for being con trolled in like manner. An editor in Illinois recently saw a pat ent clothes-washer. It was in the shape of n wheelbarrow. The revolutions of the wheel put in motion n crank that moved n plunger that pounded the clothes. The body of tbo box was mounted where tbe load is in n wheelbarrow. On the top of the box was a wringer. A lady can put her clothes in tbejmachine, pick it up and go out calling; tbe longer her list of friends, the further she will have to nbe I her bur den, nnd the better her c'otbes will be wash ed. Calling will then be of some use, and an eternal gad-a-bout will become a first rate washer-woman. Tns Law or Storks.

All tbe ocean steamers have had long passages, and been baffled by wtnd and wave beyond any former experience. What connection it there between tho tranquil continent ana tne stormy ocean? Tns flannel worn during tbe day should be taken off before going to bed at night. The secretion from the skin during the sleep is very abundant, and it it not wholesome to wear continuously a garment impreg nated with it. Many persons find it best not to wear flannel at all when asleep. There are others, however, wbo deem it necessary.
