But suddenly every mngic' tongue was hushed: a universal stroke’of pal sy seemed to have fallen on the group ns, look-1 ing up. they perceived the very lady about whom they were conversing so eagerly, stand ing in the doorway. ‘Good afternoon, ladles,’ sftld she in her us ual quiet way: ‘Jam glad to see so large and ; happy a gathering.

Tho possession oi wealth is, there fore, no certain criterion oi worth.

A community in which virtue is the standard, is always hnppy and prosperous. A nation where riches are ail in aii, has begun al ready to decay. When Rome was proud of the frugaljife of her citizens, when she could point to a Cincinnatus leaving his plow to become dic tator, sho was still full of youth and energy, she was still master of her owudesfiny. But when vast estates, troops of slaves, licentiate ban quets, and the possession of millions became the ambition of all men, then Romo was rotten to tbe core, because profligacy laughed down honest worth, because men hud censed to be heroic, and had become utterly selfish and sen sual. Ami as it was with Rome, so it lias been with every other nation which lias fallen of its own fault. Few, too, have been the people who have perished without fault. The more «• what is ho worth I" becomes the test, the worse tor a country. Let it be ashed rather “in what is ho worthy ?*’— fhila. Ledger. A Low Voice in Woman. Tea, wo agree with that old poet who said a low, soft voice was an excellent thing in woman. Indeed, wp feel inclined to go further than ho has on the subject, and call it one of her crown ing charms. No matter, what other attractions she may hare j site may bo as fair ns the Trojan Helen, and.as learned as the famous Hypatia of ancient times; slip may havoall the accomplish ments consideredtugnislte at the present day, and every Advantage that wealth can procure, and yet if she-lick a low, swofct voloo, sho can never be really fascinating. How often the' spell of bdouty Is rudely bro ken by coarse, loud talking! How often you aro Irresistibly drawn to a plain, unassuming woman, whoso soft, silvery tones render her positively attractive. Besides, wo fancy wo can Judge of tho character by the voice. Tbo bland, smooth, fawning tone seems to us to be token deceit and hypocrisy as Invariably as the musical, subdued voice ladicatesficauinorcllno- Jn tho social pleasant it Is to hear a Wfcnan talk in that low key which character izes tho true lady) Jn tho sanctaary of homo, how such a voice .soothes tho fretful child and chbors tho woory husband] How sweetly such cadcpcos float through the sick chamber; and around tho dying bed. with what solemn melody do thojrbrcatho a prayer for a departing soul!

To tho majority of mankind, the thing is but a vibratory machine of thin.wood, furnished with tightened strings for tho pro duction of inimical sounds ; and tho non-fid dling portion of the community are apt to en tertain a derogatory nolioq both of fiddles and of fiddlers, as though there were something unaccordant with the dignity of human nature In tho production of melody by shaking the elbow and twiddling tho fingers. Not that they by any means object to tho result pro duced, or refuse to listen to tho harmonious combination of sounds which horse-hair and , rosin Icict, or refrain at all tiroes from respon ding to the invitation by tripping through the maxes of tho delightful dance; but they would not be seen to operate llietnsclves;' they could not submit to bo themselves - tho fiddlers.

With them, the terms to “ploy the fiddle” and “to ploy the fool,” arc synonymous ; tho notes of a fiddle-string sound irreligiously in their cars, ami look on fiddlers as persons in a high ly equivical, not to say dangerous position.

'Tlml'Su Question ot Vonr own Asking, A knot of rustic worthies convened round thfrin n bar-room of an American village tav ern; Tho blacksmith and barber, and consta ble and sclrooliiinslcrs. all were there. ACler they had guzzled and smoked to Ihdr heart’s content, and when ah the current to pics of the day have been oxausted, the school master proposed a new kind of gaine to relieve the monotony of the evening. Each One was to propound a puzzle to his neighbors, anil - whoever should ask a question that Iw hilnself could not solve, was to pay the reckoning for the whole. The idea pleased, and the schoolmaster, by virtue of slnlioncnllcdon Dick Doltwhom most folks thought a fool, and a a few a knave, to put the first question. ‘Neighbors.’ said Dick, brawling and look ing incfiablc stupid ‘you’ve seen where squir rels dig their holes. Can yon tell the reason wh}' they never throw out dirt 7 ’ Tjjjs was a poser, and after a long cogita tion even the ‘master’was obliged to give it up. It now devolved on Dick to explain. ‘The reason is.’ said Dick, ‘that they begin at the bottom of the bole.’ ‘Stop! slop!’ cried the pedagogue, started out of all prudence and propriety by so mon strous an assertion; ‘pray how docs the squir rel get there?’ ‘Ah. master,' cried Dick, delighted, grin ning, 'that’s a question of your own asking; your in for the liquor.* Sad Children. There is one thing which strikes me ns very affecting in the condition of any child. Tt is when that condition is necessarily ft melancholy one —when the circumstances which hem it n round cast over the surface of that young life an abiding gloom. A melancholy child!— Wlml an anomely among the harmonies of tho universe; something as incongruous as a bird hrooping in a cage, or a flower in ft sepulchre. The musical laugh muffled and broken: Aho spontaneous simlo transformed to a sad suspi cion, and tho austerities of mature life, the fearful speculation, and forecast of evil, fixed and frozen on a boy’s face! And then tho sor row ofa child is so ntaortumr —for ho lives on ly in tho present. In the afflictions which fall upon him. man has the aid of reason and faith —ho looks beyond the present issues,, ho de tects the significance of his calamity, and strengthened thus a brave heart can vanquish any sorrow. But as Richter beautifully says —‘the little cradle or bed canopy of tho child, is easier darkened than tho starry heaven of man.’ Surely, then. It is a blessed thing to contribute aught that will lighten this gloom, and place tho child in natural conditions. | Humanity in the City:.

A gentleman is not inertly a person arqnnin-, ted with certain forms of etiquette of hie, easy > , and sclf-posessed in society, able to speak and j act. and move in the world without awkward -1 ocrs, and free from babils which are Vulgar! and in bad taste. A'gcplleman is something * j beyond this : that which'lies at the root of all i j ease and refinement/ and tact, and power of I pleasing, is the same spirit which lies ,01 the root of every virtue. It is tha tjiopgblful de sire of doing, in every mstanccivlo others as he would that others should do rfnto him. He is constantly thinking, not indeed bOw ho may giro pleasure to others for the'-rn'Cto of pleasure, but liow he can show rcspccl/ior-oth ers—how he may avoid hurling their*.feelings. Wtym he is in society he scrupulously.^ascer tains the position and relations of every one with whom he may be brought in contact that ho may give to each his duo honor, Ills proper position. He studies now ho may. \ Avoid touching in conversation any subject which, may needlessly hwk Jhejt* how he may abstain from any allusions whTcIT may call up a disagreeable or offensive associa tion. A gentleman never alludes to, never ap pears conscious of any personal defect, bodily deformity, inferiority of-.talent or rank, of rep utation in the persons in whose society he is placed. Ho never assumes any superiority to himself—never ridicules, never sneers, never boasts, never makes a display of his own pow er, or rank, or advantage—such ns he never indulges in habit, or tricks, or inclinations which may be offensive to others. llion Piucbs Amosg tuk Ancikst M.uuk tß3.—Tiie following yam. winch was related 1 by an old friend, about ihc pmclnities of an cient manners in the cny of New Bedford In draw on their imaginations, is good ; A dozen old captains were sealed round old Undo, Johnny CnggshnU’s grocery store one winter's day.
