Aacient Courtship.
Lovers, in the classical age, went after
dinner to the Tcstibnlea or doors of their
mistress, and whistled or couched in
order to be heard. When this did not
succeed they sung amorous dhtics, or
wrote them on the door, or fixed upon it
tablets on which they wrote. If the girls
were inflexible, they supplicated the gate,
poured libations on it, perfumed it,
kissed it amorously, and if unsuccessful,
broke that, the windows, Ac. There
also occurred serenades, weeping at the
door, lyin there all night, hanging
crowns on it, especially those which they
had worn on festivals; throwing upon the
threshold the torches lit for their return
from supper, and threatening to burn the
house; even scribbling libelous and
indecent verses on the door. The omens
of success were drawn from a leaf if it
cracked upon the hand; from striking the
room with apple kernels; and thecottabua,
a simple mode of vaticination by the fall
of liquor.
How courtship was conducted in the
days of chivalry is known to everybody;
as wearing the sleeve of a lady, leading
her horse ly the bridle; making ridicu
lous vows, such as wearing a black patch
over the eye, mentioned in Froissart, all
which, as to matrimonial concerns, were
more romantic than real; for in all great
families they arc affianced at seven or
eight years of age, and married at the age
of puberty, to prevent improper attach
ments. In the reign of Elizibcth the
following practices prevailed: Playing
with the little finger in amorous dalliance; j
sitting or lying at the feet or their mis
tresses in ball rooms, gazing closely in
each other's eyes, so as to tee the figures
represented in them. They also exhib
ited their passion publicly. A pendant
lock of hair, plaited and tied with a rib
bon, and hanging to the ear, was fashion
able in the age of Shakspeare, and after
wards that of Charles 1-, and many of
lus courtiers wore them. This lock was
worn on the left side and hung down by
the shoulder, considerably longer than
the ret of the hair, sometimes even to
the girdle. It was supposed to have the
effect of causing violent love, and was
originally a French custom. Wigs were
made to imitate it. Carton adds tn the
love-lock a flower worn in the ear. Kiss-t
ing the eyes was a mark of extraordinary ;
tenderness. In the fore part of the stays I
was anciently a pocket, where women not
only carried love letters and tokens, but
even money and materials for needle
work. When prominent stays were worn,
lovers dropped their literary favors into
them. If a woman puts a love letter in
to the bosom pocket, it was a token of
her affection. Willow garlands were
worn by persons disappointed in love,
supposed from the tree promoting chas
tity,or the famous passage in the Psalms.
The liberties allowed to lovers, and even
to intimate acquaintances, in the titles of
Elizabeth and James, were very indeco
rous. These were to handle them rough- j
ly, put their hands on their necks, kiss
them by surprise, fcc; indeed, when court
ship ensued in inferior rank, it was con
ducted in the coarsest manner Saturday
Evening GatttU,
A Brave Woman and a Poltroon.
A thrilling incident occurred oa the
stage route between Ellcaville, Ulster
county, and Suxnmitville, on the 2ew
York and Oswego Midland Railway, on
Friday afternoon last, when the courage
and extraordinary nerve of a woman
saved the lives of herself and ber two
children. Ju&t this side of Ellenviile
there is a long and steep declivity in this
road, known as Budd's IlilL Tbe Sum
mitville stage bad just began the descent
of the bill, when the pole of the stage
slipped through tbe neckyoke, and let
vehicle, with considerable force, against
tbe horses. They began plunging and
running, and the driver, a strong fellow
named Lord, instead of patting on tbe
brake and stopping tbe stage, as he might
have done, became frightened, threw
down tbe reins and jumped from his seat
to the ground, and was thrown violently
several feet down an embankment. An
other man who sat on tbe seat with him
jumped also, and was thrown down tbe
bank. The other passengers in tbe stage
were Mrs. HollingswortE and her two
small children. As soon as the horses
were free from tbe restraint of a driver
they dashed furiously down tbe hill,
threatening momentary death to the in
mates of tbe coach. Mrs. Hollingsworth
saw that they must meet with certain
destruction at a sharp carve there was in
tbe bill some distance ahead, unless tbc
horses could be checked in some way
Her children were clinging to ber and
screamingin terror, bat she hastily tore
herself away from them and clambered
over the three seats that were between
ber and tbe driver's. On reaching that
seat she saw with horror that tbe reins
were trailing in the road, oatof her reach.
Her extraordinary presence of mind
and courage never forsook ber, however,
for she climbed over tbe dash-board to
tbe wbiffle-trees, and thence walked aloDg
tbe pole of the stage, between tbe plung
ing horse, until she could reach the
reins as they lay on their backs. Secur
ing them, she made ber way bick.to the
driver's seat,asd put fortbydl her strength
in attempting to get some control over
tbe team. She sacceeded far enough to
prevent tbe capsizing of tbe coach at the
carve. A hundred yards or so beyond
tbe carve tbe high bank at the lawn side
eased off in a gentler slope. Here Mrs.
Hollingsworth sacceeded in turning tbe
borses, and ran them into a fence They
could not get another start, and several
men who bad seen tbe runaway were soon
on the spot and secured tbem. The chil
dren ana their coarageoas mother were
taken to & bosse Bear by, where tbey all
soon recovered. Mrs. Hollingsworth was
able to proceed on ber journey in a short
. time. Tbe driver and his companion in
cowardice were both badly hurt, Tbey
were received with shouts of derision and
great indignation when they were found,
however, and received sympathy in so
quarter. Lord is an experienced driver,
and Ms codardly action on this occasion
is inexplicable-If. T. Timet.
Devoted "Wojces. It is stated that a
great number of Russian ladies ia St. Pe
tersburg nave pledged tries selves mutu
ally neither to wear silk nor satin nor
costly ornaments, nor to give balls, nor
to indulge in other luxuries during -tnc
present war; but to devote tbe mosey
which tbey would otherwise have spent
upon such objects, to the nursing of the
sick and wounded of their country. This
is just what a good many women did in
this country daring our war, aad what
women nave dose in all countries under
similar conditions.

Tho Opposition of Mars.
Astronomers are now waiting with
great interot for a phenomenon which is
to occur in a few weeks, and is to be ob
served with the utmost care and assidui
ty, and with all the appliances at the
disposat of science. On Sopt ember 5 the
planet Mars will be in opposition"
that is, he will then bo at that jxiiut of
the sky which is just opixwlte tho sun, so
thst lie will risa at sunset, and come to
the meridian at midnight. Since both
the planet and the earth sweep in orbits
around the sun, it follows also that at
that time they make their neatest ap
proach to each other, and the planet is
then most favorably situated for observa
tion and examination. In the early au
tumn Mars will be by far the most con
spicuous object in the eastern sky, blaz
ing with a red fire hardly inferior to the
brightness of Venus, which by that time
will begin to adorn the western twilight,
and quit outshining Jupiter. Saturn,
close by Mars, will seem comparatively
of no accouut.
Oppositions of Mars are not specially
rare. Thev occur once in about two years
3 - r. - . . i i ? . r .1 .
and fiftv davs, and if the orbits of this
planet and the earth were perfect circles
the circun.-tanct of all oppositions
would be essentially alike, and no -cnliar
interest would attach to one rather
than another. But this is by no means
the case; the orbits are not quite circu
lar. The earth, about the 1st of July, b
nearly three million miles from the sun
than at Xew Year's; and in the case of
Mars the difference between its greatest
and least distance from the sun is larger
yet, amounting to almost twenty-eight
millions of miles. Tit attragt distance
between Mars and the earth at the mo
ment of opposition is about forty-nine
millions of miles; if, however, the oppo
sition happens when the planet is as far
from the sua as possible and the earth as
near the sun as it can be, they will be
kcparated by a space of sixty-four million
miles; and if, on the contrary, the event
occurs when the conditions are reversed,
the distance between them will be only
thirty-four million, and the opportunity
tor observation will be exceptionally fa
though some of tlie interniL-Jiatc oppoti-1
t"" "j i" . "
seventeen years, are not very greatly tn-j
f trior. The opposition of next Septem-.
ber will be on of the best possible, both
Tirtb and planet being nearly in their
most favorable positions, and the distance
between thm less than at any time since
tbe summer of 1703. Tbe observations
to be made are of two classes one in
tended to determine tbe distance, posi
tion and motions of tbe planet; the other
relating to its magnitude, farm, rotation,
surface-markings, and physical constitu
tion. One subject which deserves, and will
probably receive special attention during
tbe coming opposition, is that of tbe plan
et's form. According to some of tCe best
observer, notably Dawes and Beu-eL, the
planet is not sensibly flattened at Its
poles; aocoiUing to others, and decidedly
tbe numerical majority of observers, it is
flattened very considerably, its polar di
ameter being nearly 100 miles less than
its equatorial. If, as our text-books gen
erally assume, this latter result is correct,
it presents a mechanical difficulty of the
gravest character. It is quite impossible
to explain bow a plane t so much smaller
than the caith and with a longer day than
ours, can hive such a form. It is hardly
too much to say that ion this assump
tion) theory and fact are hopelessly at
odds.
Probabl v tbe measures to be made dur
ing the coming months will explain the
matter; and most likely by showing that
a result obtained by one or two observ
ers of tbe first quality is worth more than
that of tbe multitude. 3. T. Ttrut.
How She Fixed Him.
"Will you do something to oblige met"
shyly asked a beautiful young woman of
a timid young gentleman whose acquaint
ance she had just made at a small social
gathering.
"Anything that I can in honor, miss,"
be replied, blushing.
"Well," said she, "come into tbe back
parlor, where it is dark, and sit on the
sofa with me. and let me rest my bead
on your shoulder, and you pretend to
whisper in my car only don't blow, be
cause that tickles, and I cant laugh, for
this new dress is venr tight and when
anybody looks you can draw your arm
away I forgot to say I wanted you to
put it round my waist and 111 pretend
to blush."
"But, my gracious, honored miss,"
stammered tbe young man, after hastily
dividing four into 1&T7 and finding that
it wasn't leap year; "my goodness, Before
all these people and I am already en
gaged and your father must weigh "
"iiush, I Know what I'm up to7 re
plied the artless girl. "I'm engaged, too,
to that young man talking to the waxen-
faced thing with somebody's hair over
there. I want to stir him up bring
i i . i - .. -
aim aown iu uausctt maxe mm come
up to bis milk, that's all."
Tbe young man said that a load had
been lifted from his bosom, and aided
ber to the best of bis ability, so well, in
deed, that in three-quarters of an hour
tbe true betrothed got bis girl into the
library, demanded an explanation of ber
shameless conduct, was sol ten ed by her
tears, called himself a brute, asked if she
could ever forgive him, and promised to
behave better in luture. And now did
the vonng girl reward the yoUBg man
who bad helped ber to this happinctsT
n by, she never said a word, to him all
the evening, in fact, never mentioned
him, except to say to ber reconciled
lover, "Alonzo, could you have been so
stupid as to think I could sec anything

man receive a flagrant injury, and then
reply calmly! This is a man spiritually
stroeg. Or did we ever sec a man in an-

as if assuring himself ? Or one bearing
a hopeless dairy trial remain silent, and
never tell the worid what cankered his
home peace! That is strength. We too
often mistake strong feelings for strong
character. A man who bears all before

ble, aad whose bursts of fury make the
children of tbe household quake became
he has his war in all things, we call him
a strong man. The truth it, that he is a

Literary Ambition.
Stage-struck young men and women
are well-understood incidents of modern
fociety. They are impressible young
people who have acquired a fiiodnoa fjr

that they resemble some popular act.ir.

pectauy since he has been wearing Lit
hair shorter. Or perhaps the slaxe-niam
ac is tho product of private theatricals,
or of the ucclamttion class, or of the de
bating society. These amiable youths
sometimes hire a hall or a piorincial the
ater, and come out as Hamlet, for one
night ouly. Sometimes they go on the
regular stage in a subordinate capacity,
and soon became dUilluioniz!, as it is
called.
The staga-ktruck youth is more caaily
1 cured of his folly than tho youth who is,
as you may say, stage-struck for titer
I ture or for painting. I wonder whether
1 leading actors are not more frank with
amateur aspirants for theatrical honors
. t. I .1. : I.
than leading authors are with amateur
aspirants for literary honors. Thit may
partly arise from the fact thst so many
notable mistakes have been made in the
case of budding authors. Nobody wants
to go down to hittory, as the man told
young Longfellow he would never make
a poet. Young poojile, who desire to be
" literary,'1 are moreover easily deceived
as to their abilities by foe rase with
which a certain sort of notoriety may be
obtained. In the case of yoang painter,
the fact that a boy is called an "artist"
the moment he takes a brush tn his hand
is itself enough to turn onc head.
The youth sUge-stiuck or paint-struck
or pen-struck is sometimes a ridicaloas,
sometimes a pathetic, sometimes a tragic
object; be is generally amiable, always
interesting, and occasionally it transpires
that he is tn the first phases of a genuine
artistic career. As before remarked, the
imitative Booth is apt to find his level be
fore a great while. Tae youtn who has
