BILL JINKINS’ TROUBLES ON THE FIRST NIGHT) OF HIS MARRIAGE.

Bill Jenkins was a very modest man, and although he! had mingled with the world at barbacues, shooting matches, bar rooms, and many et cetra places where men may occasionally be found—yet he was modest, very—| whenever placed inthe company of ladies. He trembled when a pretty girl would -speak to him, and felt like a culprit at the stand when he was called upon to see Miss So-and-Sohome. Bill could never explain or account for this singular timidity. He would sing, frolic, and be as wild as a Rover, among men, but a petticoat would unnerve him instantly. ‘

Lucy Ann Liggons, a young widow had “set her cap” for Bill, and she was determined to “head him or die. Bill, to tell the truth, loved Lucy, and was as miserable out of ler company as he was timid in it—but as to popping the question, that was impossible. Lucy knitted purses, | hemmed hankerchiefs, worked shirt bosoms, and gave ther to Bill as well as several gold rings, but-still Buil “would not propose.” Lucy declared to him repeatedly that she loved him, and was miserable when ke was absent from her, and her happiness in life depended upon her being his wife—but Bill was dumb. At last Lucy was determined that he should “hear thunder,” and when after some preliminary soft talk on her part, she very affectionately said,“ Billy, my dear, when are you going to ask me to marry you? for1 wantto get my dress ready.”

Bill fainted on the spot, and hartshorn and water were applied for halfan hour before he was finally res- tored.

“Oh, nothing much; you fainted when you were about to ask me to marry you—but I told you yes—and | oh, how happy we will be when we are married !—I| will love youso dearly: and as you said next Tuesday, why I am willing the wedding should be then—my dear| Billy, how I do love you. |

“fam wiiling, Miss Lacy,” was all that Jinkins’ could articulate, while Lucy almost kissed him into fits. | What a glorious victory!

Here we ought to stop, but justice to our narrative requires that we should proceed to the finale.

A DESPERATE LOVER. Here is a lover ina most awful condition, and all ow- ing to a vixen of a girl saying she would’nt: I know ’tis a sin, too-- But I’m bent on the notlon— I'l] throw myself into The deep briny ocean, Where mud eels and catfish On my body shall riot, And flounders and flat fish Select me for diet; There soundly I’}) slumber Beneath the rough billow, And crabs without number Shall crawl o’er my pillow; But my spirit shall wander through gay coral bowers, And frisk with the mermaids—it shall, by the powers.

MESMERISING ON THE GALLOWS.

There isa curious story going the rounds of the Ame- rican press that a murderer, named Reidel, who it was supposed had committed suicide, is stili alive, having

saved himself by a most ingenious deception :

‘The story goes, that Reidel’s counsel is a man who! is capable of exercising a powerful magnetic influence) over any person upon whom he chooses to exercise it; that during his intercourse with Reidel, he had avcuient- ly discovered that he was highly susceptible to the, mesmeric influence. The idea struck him that by this, means he might escape. Arrangements were made| accordingly. A quantity of blood was conveyed to) Reidel inthe cell, which he was directed to throw over| the floor. A strong dose of Jaudanum was left for him to) take exactly as the town clock tolled a certain hour, immediately afier taking which, he was to cut his arm to keep up appearances, and to place himself with a blanket rope around his neck. ‘The powerful influence) of the magnetizer was then brought to bear upon the person of the prisoner, and by this means, together with the laudanum which he had taken, he was thrown into a) state resembling death, and remained in this condition |
