We need something to build society, a literary society could be or ganized and wonld be benificial as means of pleasure and instruction.

Young men might be induced to spend evenings in such a society that wonld otherwise be pent at tables and at the bar. We unexpectedly become familiar with tho clandestine proceedings on Brush Creek. We claim that the young lady did wave her handkerchief first, and who could hesitate for a moment to respond to one so' beautiful and young. Hewever we can not deem it proper to pass so very many ironical comments on the good looks of a young gentleman when he has not given her the slightest consideration in any way whatever. D.

Stewart is teaching the colored schools. It does seem strange that a. young man cannot tell how he got so many long hai on his coat when he is out so late on Sunday night. We do not know of a single individual who has made any preparitory arrangements for Thanksgiving, It comes once in a year and we think each one should devote some time and attention to the du ties that are required.
