A Young Printer Eloprs with a
Washington Belle. A Washington
(D. C.) correspondent writes :
"We had n little excitement the other
day in an elopement case. A young
journeyman printer in the printing-office
of Thomas Buell 6c B'anchard, ran off
with the daughter of our Judge of the Or
phans' Court, two or three days since.
Tho printer was poor, but perfectly hon
est and respectable, and very intelligent.
The girl moved in the highest circles of
life and was but sixteen. The Judge
and his son came to the printor's work
ing office with pistols and raw hide,
say some and were very indignant ;
but, upon learning (hat the couple had
gone through the ceremonies correctly
gelling a license and being married ac
cording to law, they were pacified and
both doubllss concluded to make the best
of it.
A witness who was called to the aland
to give his testimony, very earnestly
made the inquiry, "Say stranger, which
side am I oa?"
Why is it easy to break into an old
man's house? Because his gait is broken,
and his locks are few.
It is said to be tha intention of the
British government to lay another cable
between Ireland snd Newfoundland next
year, in the event of their being unable
to work; through the present line.

Oh ! I feel sometimes so sad,
So almost tired of life
Why not find, to make megltid.
Some thing with pleasure rife!
Friends are few the world seems cold,
And does not interest
Alas that I'm not found smong
The happy nd the blest. .
A)l J do seems but to bring
Regret end pain at last,
And ever does my mem'ry sting
With thoughts all JOY lo blast.
No one seems to know the caro
I try in yain to heal,
And thus in silence do I boar
Tho bitterness I fool.
Oh I for one friend lo bring relief
To this sad heart of mine,
To sweeten evory cup oT grief
With fond affection's wine;
For wildly have J yearn'd in vain
To find a resting ploco,'
Whore happiness will ever reign
Until 1 "run my raco."
Want or an Architect. There w
a story on record of on architect repudi
ating any connection with iho building
fraternity, in the cose of the lato eminent
and talented Mr. Alexander, the prchi
nf Nnchestar Bridse. and several
otho, fino buildings in the county of
Kent. Ho was under cross examination,
in especial Jury case at Maidstone, by
Seargent afterwards Boron Garrow,
who wished to detract from the weight of
his testimony, and who, afteraskine what
was his name, proceeded thus?"
"You aro o builder, 1 believe?"
"PsTo, sir, I am am not a builder I am
an architect."
"Ah, well! Architoct or builder,
builder or architect, they are much ihe
same, I suppose?"
"1 beg your portion, sir 1 cannot ad
mit that; I consider them to be totally
different."
"Oh, indeed! perhaps you will slate
wherein this great difference consists?"
"An architoct, sir, prepares the plans,
conceives the design, draws out a specifi
cationin shoit, supplies the mind. The
builder is merely the bricklayer or the
carpenter; the builder, in fact, is tho mo
di no tho architect the power that puts
ibu machine together, and sets it going."
"Oh, vcrry well, Mr. Architect thai
will do. And now, after your very ingo
nious distinction without a difference,
perhaps you could inform Iho Court who
was tho architect of iho Tower of Babel."
And now mark tho reply which, for
promptness and wit, is perhaps not to bo
rivaled in the wholo history of rejoinder:
"There was no architect, sir, and
hence iho conlusion ! "

The Caoss Crrv. This is the sig
nificant title of a new paper, which
has just been started at Corinth, Miss,
under the editorial managmcnt of W.
B. Gihson. We have received the
first two numbers, and must say that
it is a decidedly neat and handsome
sheet. Its Salutatory breaths out the
the principles of Democracy, and
shows much ability. The general
reading matter of the paper is choice
and well-selected, and the paper is a
fine looking sheet. Success to tho
enterprise.
Wo notice that two or three papers,
not a thousand miles from here, are
in the habit of copying poetry from
the Home Journal without giving us
credit. We notice one piece by 0. D.

one by "Simplex," headed "Oh, give
me an honest heart," all copied and
the authors' names, besides the name
of tho paper in which they originally
appeared, left blank.

would do well to pure lase this spot. The ;
beautiful views of the mountain ami the lite
of the University of the South, are highly at
tractive ant afford a happy relief to the eye.
There are four excellent springs on the land,
and in viow of the fact that the University of
the South the greatest contemplated insti
tution of learning now known has been lo
cated at Sewanee, only fmfr miles distant,
it is evident that in a tew years the land I
propose to sell will be
Immensely increased in value.
No man who has capital to invest should neg- ,
lect this chance to inako a good bargain no
man with keen foresight will.. Lying si this,--land

transportation is offered for all that may be
raised on it, and in s few years it eoeld l)
sold in lots for private residences, at price,
sufficient to enlist the consideration of every
