11111, DIM. ON TIIK SAND.
BY KI.IZA COOK.
'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.

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.—

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.

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

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.'

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.

HONESTY TOE BEST POLICY.— Ilegiage
was a celebrated Arabian warrior, but fero
cious and cruel. 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.
