'Tis well to woo, *tis well to wed. For so the world hath done Since myrtles grew, and roses blew, And morning brought the suu. But have a care ye young and fair, Be sure you pledge with truth ; Be certain that your love will wear Beyond the days of youth I For if ye give not heart for heart, As weli as hand for hand, You'll find you've played the unwise part, And "built upon the sand." 'Tis well to save, 'tis well to have, A goodly store of gold, And hold enough of shining stuff, For charity is cold. But place not all your hope aud trust In what the deep mine brings ; We cannot live on yellow dust Unmixed with purer things ; And he who piles up wealth aloue Will often have to stand Beside his coffer chest, and own 'Tis "built upon the sand." 'Tis good to speak in kindly guise, And soothe where'er we can ; Fair speech should bind the human niiud, And love link man to man. But stay not at the gentle words ; Let deeds with language dwell; The one who pities starving birds, Should scatter crumbs as well. The mercy that is warm and true Must lend a helping hand, For those who talk, yet fail to do, But "build upon the sand." OLD TIMES. There's a beautiful song on the slumbrous air. That drifts through the valley of dreams; It comes from a clime where the roses were, And a tuneful heart and bright brown hair That waved in the morning beams. Soft eyes of azure and eyes of brown, And suow white foreheads are there ; A glimmering Cross and a glittering Crown, A thorny bed and couch of down, Lost hopes and leaflets of prayer. A rosy wreath in a dimpled hand, A ring and a slighted vow- Three golden links of a broken baud, A tiny track on the snow-white sand, A tear and a sinless brow. There's a tincture of grief in the beautiful Rong That sobs on the slumbrous air, And loneliness felt in the festive throng, Sinks down in the soul as it trembles along From a clime where the roses were. We heard it first at the dawn of day, And it mingled with matjn chimes, But years have distanced the beautiful lay, And its melody floweth from far away, And we call it, now. Old Times. t 'h i'-'ij" Jon. nal. E. OVERPOWERED, NOT CONQUREO. The I'est takes accept inn to the declara tion of Mr. Schenek, of Ohio, the pres ent political campaign is but a continuation of the war. We can see no reason for qual ifying or disclaiming this self-evident fact. The war of ideas which preceded the war of soldiers is not yet ended ; because, wheu Lee surrendered his forces, he had neither the power nor desire to surrender his creed. Nor do we expect such submission from the masses of the southern people, until the campaign of ideas has swept in triumph through the physically conquered region. The leaders of the old South have been affor ded opportunities almost dangerous from their unparalleled generosity,—more liberal to them than safe to the nation,—to resume their former position in the political govern ment of the country which they sought with all the means in their power to destroy. The Post asserts that the "treaty between lice and Grant, "the proclamation of peace by the President, "the pes feet submission of the South to the "general government and laws, are all ignored" by the representative men of the republican party. "There is no resistance," it says ; "the radical war is one entirleyofaggression. ' \\ e believe that we heard this statement more than once before the close of hostilities. If we remember rightly- Mr. Davis declared that our soldiers were the "ruthless invaders" of the confed eracy, and that all that the rebels wanted was to be "let alone." Yet the "war "of aggression" continuud until the nation was saved; and so, we predict, will be the pres ent campaign. No praise is due to any act unless it is an act of free will. Lee is entitled to no thanks for a surrender which he did not dare to re fnse. The proclamation of peace by the President was simply an official announce ment of the submission by the southern leaders to an irresist_ble force. It indicated oo change of theories, no love for the Un ion, no desire to make a political and social peace with the defenders of the nation. It : was the record, simply, as subsequent events | have shown, wherever rebel leaders have been clothed with power, of a sullen, reluct ant and compulsory obedience. It is due to the masses of the southern people to say that while they yielded unwillingly, they showed at that time a readiness to submit to whatever policy or punishments the conquer ing people should inflict on them. A Vir ginia general declared that they would have cheerfully submitted to negro suffrage, and it is well known that they expected to incur | the peneaity of a sweeping coufi cation. ; Hut wheruthev found or believed that they j could regain t heir former power through the ' influence of Mr Johnson, they showed at once, from the Potomac to the llio Grande, that, to use their own favorite phrase, they i were "overpowered but not conquered," The massacre of New Orleans was an ep ; ituinc of the state of the whole South. Al though the reports of the agents of the Freed man's Buu au were suppressed,enough ' eamc to light to show that the assassination of loyalists had oceured in almost every ! county of the South; that northern un-n | everywhere were either socially ostratixed, I threatened, or obliged to fly; and the flames ] of burning schoolhouses and churches show ' ed that the malignant spirit which had once A LOCAL AND GENKHAE NBWBPAPER, DEVOTED TO POLITICS, EDUCATION, LITERATURE ANI) MORALS inspired the atrocities of Libby Prison and Andcrsonviile was as active and relentless as before the close of the war. The "submis sion" which the Post praises found a voice in the new labor code of South Carolina, — a series of enactments as arbitrary and obnox ious to the loyalists as the former " black "laws" of the slave States, with the single exception of the old power of sale. It ex hibited its hostile feelings in the speeches of Governor Perry and Governor Humphreys of Mississippi; in the defiant and vindictive tone of the southern press; in the prompt rejection of terms of union with the north ern churches; in the election of prominent rebel generals to positions of power and trust; in the absolute refusal of the entire white popnUtion to attend the meeting cal led to express the national sorrow at the as sassination of Mr. Lincoln; in the conduct of southern women, in the spirit of south eru literature, in the treatment of Union officers and soldiers, and in the homage paid, in season and out of season, to the heroes, living and dead, of the confederate army. All these things may be excused and pal liated from a philosophic point of view; it is but natural, indeed, that a people who suf fered so severely for a "lost caui-e" should mourn for it and honor its champions: but when we come to deal with practical affairs we must remember these facts, not to an alyze them or forgive them but to act upon them. Common sense dictates that after a crime has been committed and the criminal is in our hands, even if we find causes for declining to punish him for his former of fence, wo must take every security against him for the future, and before we trust him again with the power that he has abused, must make sure that he has repented and renounced the theories which led him to do the deeds that we were forced to repel. Now "the South"—using the term, as the Post does, to mean the ruling class —have neither repented of their crimes against the nation nor renounced their old ideas. I! util, therefore, we can create a new element in the "conquered territory," whose loyalty and intelligence we can confidently trust, we are not only authorized but compelled to keep it in its present powerless condition. It is not charity hut folly to run the risk of being twice deceived—especially when the price of the first error is a vast national debt and a grand army of heroes slain. — Boston Advertiser. THE DUTY or USEFULNESS—A lIUSINESS FOR EVERY .'WAN. There can be no surer evidence of the de cay of a people than disinclination to useful labor and supercilious contempt of the labor. That this disposition is growing among us is sufficiently evident from the efforts of our thinking men in their affirmations of the "dignity ol labor," their protests against luxury, and their denunciations of the inde cent haste to get rich, shown in the mania for speculation, which makes the needs of a nation and the food of the poor, objects of its unholy lust. But it is not our intention to write a homily, but simply to speak a few words in truth and soberness on a subject that in timately corioernsevery young man for him self, and every citizen for his country. Ks. Copt in a state of society where the produ cers are serfs, thralls, helots, or slaves it cannot be degrading to work. That citizens of a democratic republic should look upon labor as unworthy a man, is as certain a sign of the hollowness of our democratic preten sions as is the eagerness with which we ac cept the senseless decorations and titles be stowed by crowned heads. Industry is a virtue and not less a duty. The lazy mau who could if he would do a share of the la bor which is necessary to comfort and luxury and refuses because he has enough of the products of labor to live without producing, is an abortion not fitted for this working world. For him there should he a paradise of enforced idleness where he might vegetate iri fuugous luxuriance, undisturbed by the ,-pade or hoe of active life. If the examples of some of the most cele brated men are of any value whatever, their lives would show that the knowledge and practice of a useful profession did not detract from their fame. Take for in-tance the life of the apostle Paul. The ouiy liberally, educated man of the first apostles, having lieeo brought up at the feet of' Gamaliel, and the son of a Pharisee, himself a Pharisee of the "most straitcst sect," which corresponds to the L. L. D. andl). I), of our style,yet he was not ashamed to work at his trade as a tent maker. lias a man lived since his day who has exerted more influence on the progress of' the race? Probably not; and yet while we dc not claim that his occupation and trade as a lent maker made him what he was, we do claim that neither his knowl edge nor practice of his craft militated against his success as a reformer. But apart from the low considerations of present profit and the higher ones of future notoriety, there is a duty which every hu man being is hound to respect. If labor is not the normal condition of the race it is im perative on us now. Allowing thai we are iua transition from idleness (or rather lazi ness), through the ordeal of labor to the Utopia where all we need shall come fully | prepared to our hands, this transition state | demands action. But the normal and the proper condition of the huuiau rice is one of work, and it wuuld not he difficult to prove that this con dition of labor, a.-, a price for enjoyment, is the divine law as well as the most effectual means of human happiness. There can be no more saddening sightthan that of a man without an object in life except to compass his own persoua! enjoyment. No nisui purely selfish can be happy. The grand element of* happiness is the consciousness that wo arc contributing to the comfort of others. He who lives for himself alone, : from the contributions of others, misses some | tif the most exquisite enjoyments of life. | This is riot mere talk but God's eternal \ truth. In a country like ours, where nature prc | sents to us thousands of opportunities, it is * worse than neglectful to refuse to contribute ! our share in their improvement. The fath- I er who refuses or neglects to give his son a i personal independence by furnishing him I with.a practical kuowledge of a useful oc ' c-upation, condemns him to a life of depen ! denee and trouble thau which death itself ! would be preferable. It is not necessary in ' all eases that he should he a farmer or a i mechanic; the labor of the brain is as useful i as that of the muscle, but the young man should be taught to labor either with mus j cle or brain. That brain labor is more hon i orable than that of the hands is a nonsensi ' oal notion, uuworthy such a race as that which has for its mission the subjugatiou of i a continent. The farmer and the mechanic I —if they perform well their part- -are not ; only as useful but fully as honorable as the ; minister, the lawyer, physician, or editor, lu every case labor is the price of success and the load to power, and in all cases that ; labor is a benefit to the world we live in.— i Scientific American. fete" Wisdom is the olive which springs from the heart, blooms on the tongue, and bears fruit from the action. BEDFOIiD. P;v.. FIiIDAY. AUGUST 33. 1867. THE FACE A RECORD OF LIFE The record of a man'smora! and intellec tual life is written in his lice, in such indeli ble and striking lines that anybody tolerably well skilled in the scion* of physiognomy can quickly and accurately measure subtle, unseen, character. There is an old maxim that "blood tells," and it does reveal its gentle or boorish, its virlpous or vicious na ture in physical tuovemects of the body and modes of expression, and also in prevailing and related ideas. So, likewise, character is perpetually struggling against the bonds of restraint, and pushing on into the broad daylight of actual recogriitjuTi. By a careful retisence at the right taac, and a sort of negative habit of life, combined with a shrewd management, a un may pass cur rent for altogether more Ihan his actual val ue. But sooner or later; the muscles of the face and the speaking eye Vst out the secret of the interior life. It is a great study, these human faces looking up from the audieice room, the so cial circle, the street, the tar, beaming out an effulgence of sympathy uid goodness, or frowning under the rigors ofdisappointment, or flashing out defiance and contempt for the sources of their di.-comicrt. The young man who aspires to nothing higher than the character of a universal "bruiser," may for get that his coarse passions arc all photo graphed upon his face in such a manner that all discerning people can read him through at almost the first glanca We cannot "see ourselves as others see us," and that ex plains away very much of the impudence and swagger of the multitude, which pass for genuine energy and life. If'you would know more of an acquaintance than age,occupation, capacity and temper — if you would inspect the secret sources where he draws supplies of impulse and of comfort along life's toil some and dusty pathway, look iuto his face and read the whole elaborate story of bis strivings, his loves and aversions, his triumphs and failures. It is all there, lock ed up in fleshy cliaraeters, in the folds and furrows made by the plough share of time aud toil, or the exhausting stimulants of li cense and prodigality. We literally turn ourselves inside out through thl? face. The love, the composure, the passion, the unrest, ti.e hatred and revenges, the strength and the weakness, the angel and the beast of our natures, all collect and conic to a focus in the face, and make disclosures which no magical arts can conceal. And it seems to us that when the great Apostle said "some men's sins aie open beforehand, going before to judgment," he must have been looking into the hypocritical faces of the old Scribes and Pharisees. Throughout all her wonder ful array of diversity and magnificence, Na ture abhors concealment and this accounts for, and magnifies, too, the revelations of character shining through the human face divine. CONVERSATION. This is an art in which the French ladies excel; they are always light, agreeable, gay, witty, and entertaining; without wishing that American ladies possessed altogether llto quatitiet of Kronoh Winictl, no til ay etc sire for them a little more of the French faculties of making themselves agreeable. Too many of them, when called upon to entertain strangers, sit crid, dull and stupid, unable to start a topic of conversation or an swer a question except it monosylables. Remember, the art of conversation can be cultivated, and that it is one of the duties of women to cultivate it, ie order to give the proper tone to society and enliven the do mestic circle. In -electing a subject fur conversation choose that will interest your companion. There is nothing more illbread than to talk much of yourself, your own plaus and projects and above all, of matters which tend to exait your own importance. Listen well; that is to say, interestedly to whatever is said to you; a good listener is as valuable as a good talker, and never inter rupt persons wlu-n speaking or commence repeating something calculated to distract the attention from what he or she is saying. Avoid subjects in society such as politics or religon. upon which persons are most likely to differ. It is bad taste to assert one's opinion against that of another per son, and the yielding of it through polite ness mi it lit be misconstrued. It is illbrcd to use foreign terms in your conversation as it is to whisper to one person when there are others present. lie careful how you encourage a reputa tion for saying smart, sharp, or sarcastic things; it will make you both uncharitable and unpopular. If you venture on a story in company, be sure that it i- sharp and to the point. Be careful to listen instead of talking when you meet persons who know more than you do yourself. Never talk upon subjects with which you are only slightly acquainted, such as art and artists for instance. It is easy to betray a great deal ofiguorancc without knowing it. Make yourself acquainted with current events, current literature, and the topics of the day, in order to converse understand ingly about them. - Tut; Legend or the Thud Degree. — The legend, as it is calltd, of the Master Mason, is one of the most touching and beautiful in the dratna of life. Founded, as it is, upon the mysteries and ceremonies of the ancient Egyptians, it has come down to us as the very embodiment and substance of Masonry. It is the impressive exem plification of the birth, the life, the death, and the resurrection of man. It stamps upon the intelligent Ma.-on the sublime doc trine of the immortality of the soul; and it was a wise provision of all Brand Lodges that this, degree should never be given in part only, but should be completed at every undertaking. To omit this legend is to omit the degree itself. This legend is the grand landmark, the unfailing beacon of Masonic centuries. It i- ne ver changed; it will admit of no re moval, for it is the true point of the univer sal Brother. It conveys thought and fur nishes food for the reflective mind down to the grave, and as a simple drama stands unequalled besides any of the productions of genius. No Mason ever participated in and forgot it; be felt its moral upon his .soul, as though it. were a touch of Divinity, and when properly understood it inspires a sol emnity second oniv to the scene of death. LOYK IS A MYSTKRY. —Its origin is a mystery; its essence is a mystery; every pul sation of its being is mysteries; and it is aware that it cannot break the shell and penetrate the mysteries withont destroying both itself and the object. For the cloud, which is so beautiful in the distance when the sunbeams are sleeping on its pillow, if you go too near and enter it is only dank and dun; you find nothing, you learn nothiug except that you have been tricked. Often have we been told that love pulls after frui tion; and this is the reason. When it has plucked off its leathers for the sake of star ing at them, it can never sew them on again. YOUNG MAN SAVE YOUIL MONEY, j Every young man believes that in some stage of his future life he will enjoy a com- j potency. With this belief he rears a fanci- i nil superstructure, and then patiently awaits the time when he shall take possession. But how large a proportion pass through the years until they find themselves old men, standing on the verge of the grave, with the dreams ol' youth unrealized. And why is it? The New Nork Sun says: In this coun try of boundless resources there is no good reason why every man of ordinary capacity may not lay up a competency for his declin ing years. Look at the men of wealth in this city and elsewhere who have been the architects of their own fortunes. They had no bi'tter opportunities for acquiring wealth, no stronger incentive to industry, no more favorable personal qualities than many men generally have. The foundation of their success consisted in this fact; Tliey appre ciated the importance saving money. They realized the force of the old maxim "that a penny saved is two pence earned." They differed from the majority of young men in this respect. The latter are impressed with the desirability of saving money, but thc-y connot commence to do it now. Their wa ges or salaries are too small. They are only able to get along decently with all their pres ent means, but as soon as their incomes are increased tliey will begin to lay up some mone.y. _ The yotiug man who acts in accor dance with this idea will never occupy his airy castle of wealth. Ask A. T. Stcwert how he did in this respect, when a young man, and we venture to say he will reply that he regularly saved a small portion of his wages, even when they were a mere trifle when compared with the incomes of many young men who arc now waiting for a more favorable time to save their earnings. Now, we would not have any young man to be mi serly or niggardly. We would not have him stint himself in anything that is really necessary to his comfort. What we advise is this: That every young man shall make it a practice to save a portion of his earnings - no matter how suiail—aud place theui in his savings' bank. It is not the value of the money that would thu-- accumulate in a giv en time from which the chief benefit of this plan would flow. Its value consists more of the moral influence exerted upon the char acter of the person—moulding it into habits of economy and frugality. Every young man who has an income at all should have an account in the saving banks. That in stitution does more good in the formation of industrial and useful men, and in keep ing the susceptible away from the allure ments of viee,|tban almost any other agency. It tends to stimulate a man's energies, to promote thriftv habits, and to start him out upon an honorable and prosperous career. Therefore, young man, remember that the road to fortune lies through the saving's bank. SING AWAY YOUR GRIEF. Wc can sing away our cares easier than wo can reason them away. Sing in the morn ing. The birds are the earliest to sing, the birds are more without care than anything else I know of. Sing in the evening. Singing is the last thing that robins do. When they have done their daily work; when thc-y have down their last flight and picked up their last morse! of food, and cleansed their bill on a napkin of a bough, then on a topmost twig, they sing one song of praise. I know they sleep sweeter for it. They dream music; for sometimes in the night they break forth in singing, and stop suddenly after the first note, startled by their own voice. O, that we might sing evening and morning, and let song touch song all the way through. As I was returning from the country the other evening, between six and seven o'cloek bearing a basket of flowers, I met a man that was an] arently the tender of a mason. He looked brick and mortar all over! He had worked the entire day, and he had the appearance of a man that would not be afraid of work. He was walking with a lith step and singing to himself as he passed down the street, though he had been work ing the whole day, and nearly the week. Were it not that my good thoughts always come too late, I should have given him a large allotment of my floweis. If he had not been out of sight when the idea occur red to me, I should Lave hailed him and said, "Have you worked all day?" "Of course I have," he would have said, "Arc you singing?" "Of course I am." "Then take the flowers home and give them to your wife, and tell her what a blessing she has iu you" O that we could put songs under our burdcus. O, that we could extract the sense of sorrow by song!—-Then these things would not poison so much. Sing in the house. Teach your children to sing. When troubles come, go at theiu with songs. When griefs arise, sing them down. Lift the voice of praise against cares, Praise God by singinc; that will lift you above_ trials of every sort. Attempt it. They sing in heaven; and among God's people upon earth, song is the appropriate language of (,'hristian feeling. Bcccher. llovv A GRUMBLER WAS SERVED.— A husband was continually finding fault with his wife for her want of neatness —that his house was not. always kept like a bandbox, nor his tables polished like mirrors. This was one day very warmly expressed, and comparisons wore instituted lietwecn her management and that of a neighboring qua kcress, whom the husband had seen on that day. The wife promised compliance with his wishes; ami on the husband leaving the house, she put everything in the most ex act and neat order, not an odious particle of dust being suffered to appear. The hus band returned rather later than usual, with ,-i friend whom he had invited to dine with bini. To his surprise he found the front door of his house was looked —he knocked loudly, and with great vehemence demanded immediate admittance, when an upper win dow was raised, aud out popped the head of his beloved spouse:—"Thee cannot come in at the front door —the must go around by the gate to the kitchen." The husband sheepishly complied, and ever after suffered his wife to manage her household affairs as she saw fit. To-Mot'. HO-,V may never come to us.

VOLUME 10; .NO. 33 (JUEEN VICTORIA A liondon correspondent of the Botstan .Journal tells some curious stories of the man ner in which Queen Victoria has conducted herself siuce the death of Prince Albert. She will not live in the palace at London. On her husband's death, she had Bucking ham Palace dir mantled, and so it remains to this day, ail except the private rooms. The Queen will not drive through the royal gate way of the palace, nor has she since her husband died. She will not ride through the royal entrance to the House of Lords, but gooH in through the Peers' entrance. She will not wear the royal robes, and when she opens Parliament in person, the robes are thrown over the back of the throne, which is a gilded chair, surmounted with a gilt crown, and sits on them. She comes to London when duty calls, seldom passes a night in her capital, ae , hospio-edhss than a dozen in four years. She remains in quiet at Windsor or Osltorn. She has no compa ny but, what her official position imposes on her. The state apartments in Windsor are all dismantled. The room in which the Prince Consort breathed his last, is kept with scrupulous care just as the Prince left it. The ladies say that each night the dres sing gown and slippers are put in them ac customed plaee. The Queen's confidential attendant is a Highlander by the name of Brown, lie takes aM the orders from the Queen —and bare-legged messengers come from the Queen's Apartments at Windsor when her Majesty is to be served. This Brown has been the occasion of a world of talk. He is about fifty—tall and spare— with great assurance, and attends the Queen to and from London. Croat attempt* have been made to dislodge him, but all in vain. The Queen has a will of her own. Brown was the prince Consort's Highland servant, and was held by him in all honoi. While V ictoria rules England, Brown will rule the royal household. Refusing to play the Queen her Majesty has never forgot to play the woman. Her visit to Balmoral ami Osborne is a benedic tion to the poor. She will allow no unseem "ly honors. She drives her pony wagon. Daily she goes her round with her carriage filled with little gifts for the sick, the infirm, the poor. These she distributes with her own hand. By the bedside of the aged and neglected the Queen kneels and pravs to the Sovereign of a!!. To one she daily reads, to another she presents some needed com fort ; and she is especially tender to little ones who are in sorrow or want. All through the highlands she is regarded as an angel of mercy. lIOW'TO MAKE HOME HAPPY. Do not jest with your wife upon a subject in tvhich there is danger of wounding her feelings. Remember that she treasures every word you utter, though you never think of it again. Do not speak of some virtue in another uiaa's wife to remind your own of a fault. Do not reproach your wife with personal defect: if she has sensibility, you inflict a wound difficult to heal. Do not treat your wife with inattention in company. Do not upbraid her in the presence of a third person, nor entertain lier with prais ing the beauty and accomplishments of other women. If you would have a pleasant home arid a cheerlul wife, pass your even tings under your own roof. Do not be stern and silent in your ownbou.-e. and remember to be sociable elsewhere. Remember that your wife has as much need of recreation as yourself, and devote a portion at least of your leasure hours to such society and ; amusements as she may join. By so doing : you will secure her smiles and increase af fection. Do not, by being too exact in pe cuniary matters, make your wife feel her de pendence upon your bounty. It tends to lessen her dignity of character, and does not increase her esteem for you; if she is a sensible woman, she should be acquainted with your business and know your income, that she may regulate her household expen ses accordingly. Do not withold this knowl edge, in order to cover your own extrava gance. Women have a keen perception— Be sure she wili discover your selfishness— and though no word is spoken, from that moment her respect is lessened, and her con fidence derninished, pride wounded, and a thousand, perhaps, unjust suspicions crea ted. From that moment is your domestic comfort on the wane. There can be no one ness where there is no_ confidence- — Wo men's Thoughts about Women. CULRCII ETIQUETTE—IN MEMOEIAM.— It used to puzzle us, before wc understood the origin of the custom, to account for the peculiarly American idea of church etiquette which compels a gentleman to step into the aisle, allow a lady to pass in before him, and reseat himself in th" most comfortable place in the JA W. The European certainly must be at a loss to account lor the custom on the principle that the laws of etiquette are founded on the general rule of making oth ers as comfortable and happy as possible. But wc cannot join with the many who wish this custom, troublesome though it may sometimes be, abolished. It is a relie of the olden time in America when men went to church with their muskets, and had their children and wives take the inside of the pew, so that they might rush into the aisle at the first signal from the watchman that hostile Indians were near. The custom comes to us with the sacred memories of the trials and courage and hardships of our forefathers. It tells of hard-earned home steads in the Western wilderness; of men and women who laid the foundations of a great nation among scenes which called for nerve, and energy, and bravery. Surely the preservation of this custom as a token of respect to their memory is not too great a burden for their fashionable sons and daugh ters of to-day, who owe them so much of their present prosperity and wealth. The people of England undergo every form of inconvenience rather than give up time honored customs, and we laugh at them for it. We care too little for these things. The American motto is "Let tbe dead post bury the dead." A better motto is the golden ruie, 'Do unto others as you would that others do un to voir" how will it be when we are dead.' —AV-io York Gazette. PARIS BELLES. —The gay and fashiona ble belles of Paris work harder than the men at the galleys. Think of a young mar ried lady, with a rapidly filling nursery, go ing out night after night, coming home on Monday, say at one o'clock, on Tuesday at four, on Wednesday at midnight, on Thurs day at three, on Friday at four, winding up the week's work on Saturday, by coming home at broad daylight at seven o'clock, and commencing the new week with an afternoon concert, a dinner, and a soiree . Some women have successfully cultivated the habit of sleeping in the afternoon, or taking an extra dinner at four or five o clock, then go straight to bed after it, sleeping till half-past eight or nine o'clock, when they are awakened by their maid, and proceed to the business of dressing.

Among a number of pris oners whom he had condemned to death, was one who, having obtained a moment's audience, said: ' \ ou ought, sir, to pardon me, because when Abdarrahman was cursing you, I rep resented to him that he was wrong, and ever since that time I have lost his friend ship." Hcgiuge asked him if he had any witness of his having done this, and the soldier mentioned another prisoner who was like wire about to suffer death. The prisoner was called and interrogated, and. having confirmed the fact, Hcgiagc granted the first his nardon. He then asked tbe wit ness if he had likewise taken his part against Abdarrahuiau. But he, still respecting the truth, answered that he had not, because he believed it was not his dutv to do so. He giage, notwithstanding his ferocity, was struck with the prisoner's greatness of spirit. "Well," said be, after a moment's pause, "suppose I were to grant you life and liber ty, should you still be my enemy?" "No," said the prisoner. "That's enough," said Hcgiagc, "your bare word is sufficient; you have given us undoubted proof of your love for truth. Go, preserve the life that is less dear to you than honor and sincerity; your liberty is the jut reward of your virtue." WHAT ARE roc LIVING FOR?—A pas tor waiting out recently, met a little girl be longing to his flock. And they walked on together, he spoke to her of her studies, and was pleased to find her manifesting an interest amounting almost to enthusiasm in the cultivation of her mind. "But why, Ellie," asked the pastor, are you so anxious to succeed in your studies? What do you mean to do with your educa tion after you get it?" "Oh sir," said the girl, "I want to learn that I may do some good in the world. I don't want to tell the Lord in the day of judgment that I have lived so long in tbe world without having dene any good in it." Noble purpose! who of our young friends are studying and living to so good an end? who of us are making an every; day impress for good on the hearts and lives of those among whom wc move. THE POWER OF WOMAN. — Whatever be the cu.-toms and laws of a country, the women of it decide the morals. They reign because they hold possession of our affec tions. But their influence is more or less salutary, according to the degree of esteem which is granted them. Whether they arc our idols or companions, the reaction is complete, and they make us such as they are themselves. It seems as if nature con nected our intelligence with their dignity, as we connect our morality with their virtue. This, therefore, is a law of eternal justice; man cannot degrade woman without himself falling into degradation; he cannot raise tlicm without himself becoming better. Let us cast our eyes over the globe, and observe two great divisions of tbe human race, the east and the west. One half of the ancient world remain without progress or thought, and under the load of a barbarous cultiva tion; women are serfs. The other half ad vance toward freedom and light; the women are loved and honored. SATS the New York Gazette: "Tilton resides in Brooklyn, near Beecher, owning a very' comfortable and pleasant house ou Livingston street, which is said to contain more and finer engravings, mostly artists' proofs, than any other in that city. Hi 3 dwelling and its contents cost him about $25,000, and as his salary on the Indepen dent is $o,OOO, and his income from lectures and oilier sources considerably more than that, he may be considered beyond supine peril. Mrs. Tilton is a very plain, pleasant faced little lady, not so young looking as her husband, and esteeming him as the greatest man of the age—which is as it should be. Anna, his sister, is a tall, good looking girl, just out of boarding school, said to be possessed of very fine talents, and sharing Mrs. Tiltwn's faith as regards Theodore —which is also as it should be. They arc a very happy, lively, intellectual family, always full of joyous little enterprise of one kind or other, and very popular so cially." A CENTRE SHOT. -Henry Ward Beech er, in a sermon delivered in Plymoulh Church recently, produced the following picture: Men seem ashamed of labor, and often you will find men who have made themselves respected by labor, have built up a business and amassed a fortune, who turn to their sons and say: "You shall never do as I did; you shall lead a different life; you shall be spared all this." Ob, these rich men's sons. They aim to lead a life of emasculated idle ness. Like the polyp that floats useless and nasty upon tbe sea; all jelly, all flabby, no muscle, no bone —it shuts and opens, and opens and shuts, and sucks in and squirts out again, of no earthly account, in fluence or use. Such are these poor fools. Their parents toiled and grew strong, and built up their forms of iron and bone; but denying this to their sons, thev turn them upon the world boneless, musclelcss, simple gristle, and soft at that." LIVE FOR OTHERS —God has written upon the flower that sweetens the air, upon the lirocze that rocks the flower upon its stein, npou the rain drops that swell the mighty river, upon the dewdrop that re freshes the smallest sprig of moss that rears its head in the desert, upon the ocean that rocks every swimmer in its channel, upon every pencilled shell that sleeps in the cav erns of the deep, as well as upon the migh ty sun which warms and cheers the millions of creatures that live in its light—upon all has he written, "None of us liveth to him self. '' WISE COUNSEL. —It is an evidence of true wisdom not to be precipitate in our notions, nor inflexible in our opinions; and it is a part of true wisdom not to give hasty credit to every word that is spoken, nor immedi ately to communicate to others what we believe. In cases of perplexity and doubt, consult a prudent and religious man, and choose rather to be guided by the counsel of one better than thyself, than to fol.ow the suggestion of thy own blind will. WOMEN often fancy themselvesin love when they arc not. The love of being lov ed. fondness of flattery, the pleasure of giving pain to a rival, passion for novelty and excitement, are frequently mis taken for something far better and holier, till marriage disenchants the fair-self-decejv er and leaves her astonished at her own in dffferoncc and the evaporation of her ro mantic fancies.
