John Brown, the Modern Telema- MEM The following lines were written by a lady of Columbia, in December, 18.19. In Pagan Rome a monster wrong had grown So old, that, even when the pure, white light Of Christian truth had fall'n upon its head, It found that head serhoary, that the sons Of men, who'd cherished it so long, saw not Its hideousness ; and the courageous few; Who dared rebuke the evil, were denounced As blind lanai les—meddlers In anatirs Of others. " If the Gladiator choose To mate his prowess with the brutes, and leave Perhaps ,his mangled, bleeding corpse within The amphitheatre; though it be wrong, You have no right to interfere," said some, "Besides, it Is an institution which Did not originate with us; It came Front our forefathers, and it is not now .Expedient that we abolish it, Bedause the people are not now prepared For sltch a change—whit every sophistry With Which defenders or established wrong Oppose reform. ' But In that hated band oragltators, there was one great soul. Whose conscience would not slumber while re mained Untried one deed to cast the Idol down. And when his earnest pleading was all vain, However eloquent, however armed With truth self-evident; and the huge wrong Was still sustained by what was called a taw, Telemachus knew none which did conflict With aces with the calm resolve of one Who has reflected on his duty well, With heart so faithful to eternal truth That but to know the right was to pursue, lie waited for the brutal strife; and then, Dashed into the arena, and essayed, With his own arm to part the combatants; And though that arm was powerless—though he fell, When, in mtOnlalnuent and rage, all rushed Upon him, In his blood to quench their wrath Oh !Gixl-111:e sacrifice!—thou want not.inade In Vail). All hearts must reverence and love The man coNh holds a principle so dear That he can die for it. Teleinachus, Victorious in the grave, won, with his cause, A. nation's gratitude, a deathless name. A name so deathless, that one year ago, I heard one of the brightest stars that grace Our galaxy of statesmen, questioning 'Whether for present wrongs in our own land, That ancient martyr had a kindred soul. The God of Truth and Right is now as near As he has ever been, and has In store For every time of need, a spirit meet ; And In that bravo old man, who gave his life To freedom's cause, sublimely meeting death As conscious of the approval of his God, Far Slavery a Telemachus found. The felon's death can tarnish not his name, For 'twas to him the martyr's glorious crown. So rice a sacrifice has not been made for naught. JOLT N BROWN, with nerveless arm and puiseless heart, Will yet crerthrow the Moloch of our loud ! Lord Lovell nod ills Velocipede Lord Lovell be stood by the garden gate. With his shining velocipede, And whispered farewell to his Lady Bell, Who wished for his Lordship good speed. "When will you be back, Lord Lovell"" she said, .11022c-4'rere to her questit.o nc,heed— ' Placed his feet In his stirrup:and galloped away On his famous velocipede. Thou Lady 801 l cried, In frantic alarni, What a monster my lord Is, Indeed, To ride thus away from his loving young wife, On that horrid velocipede!" Lord Lovell returned, broken hearted and sore, Broken armed, and alas! broken kneed For he struck on a post, nearly gave up the ghost, And smashed his velocipede! MEE Remember the fate Lord Lovell has met. Let this be your warning and creed ; Stay at home with ybur wife for the rest of life, And beware of the Velocipede. jU tcltnucotts cuUng. Girls should learn to Keep nouse. No young lady can be too well instructed in anything which will affect the comfort of a family. Whatever position in society she occupies, she needs a practical knowl edge of household duties. She may be placed In such circumstances that it will not bonecessary lbr her to perform much domestic labor; but on this account she needs no lees knowledge than if she was obliged to preside personally over the cook ing stove and pantry. Indeed, I have thought that it is more difficult to direct others, and requires more experience than to do the same work with our own hands. Mothers are frequently so particular that they do not like to give up any part of the care to their children. This is a great mis take in their management, for they are often burdened with labor and need relief. Children should be taught to make them selves useful; to assist their parents every way in their power, and to consider it a privilege to do so. 'Young people cannot realise the impor tance of at thorough knowledge of house wifery ; but those who have suffered the inconvenience and mortification of ignor ance, can well appreciate it. Children I should be early indulged in their disposi tion to bake and experiment, in various Way!, It k often but a troublesome help they give, still it is a great advantage to them. I know a little girl who ut nine years old made a loaf of bread every week during the winter. ller mother taught her how much yeast, salt and flour to use, and she became quite an expert baker. When ever she is disposed to try her skill in making simple cakes and pies, she is per mitted to do so: She is thus, while amus ing herself, learning an important lesson. Her mother calls her her little housekeeper, and often permits her to get what is neces sary for the ruble. She hangs the keys by her side, and very musical is the jingling to her ears. I think before she is out of her teens, upon which she has not yet en tered, that she will have some idea how to cook. Some mothers give their daughters the care of housekeeping, each week by turns. It seems to we a good arrangement, and a most useful part or their education. Do mestic labor is by no means incompatible with the highest degree of refinement and mental culture. Many of the most elegant, accomplished women I have known, have looked well to their household duties, and have honored themselves and their hus bands by so doing. Economy, taste in cooking, and neatness of the kitchen, have a great deal to do in making lire happy and prosperous. The charm of good housekeeping is in order, economy in taste, disylayed in attention to little things; and these things have a won derful influence. A dirty kitchen and bad cooking have driven many a one from home to seek comfort and happiness somewhere else. None of our excellent girls are fit to bo married until they are thoroughly edu cated in the deep and profound mysteries of the kitchen. J. B. TttE: London Telegraph calls the exhibi tion of the Siamese twins a "cold-blooded contempt of all that is reverent, all that is pitiful, all that is ordinarily human," and wants tho authorities to forbid it: Unpleasant Reflections. Not a thousand miles from Little York, Pa., lived a family who had in their em ploy a daughter of Erin. The lady having cause to doubt her honesty had a mirror hung in the sitting room, so that while idling away her time in her boudoir, she could watch the movements of the unsus pected Biddy in the kitchen. One day while watching her make away with a large quantity of choice preserves, she rushed into the presence of the astonished girl. "How dare you eat all my nice preserves in this way ?" Although she still held the jar and spoon, she replied, "Sure misses, you must be mistaken, I've not tasted the first blessed mouthful ; I was only lixin them for the tay." "Oh, Biddy ! bow can you deny it when I saw you from my room? Look;" and she pointed to the glass that reflected the center of her cozy boudoir, "in that glass I can see all you are doing in this room, and I saw you eat my preserves. If this occurs again I shall discharge you." Biddy stood in amazement, staring at the glass a few minutes, then rubbing her hand over her forehead as though trying to comprehend the extent of the magical glass, cried out, "Oth, and sure! 'tis myself that has been watching (in the same glass), and I've may opinion that if the master was to see how you welcome that same gentleman partner of his, in your own private parlor, 'twould be yourself that would be discharg ed." It is not necessary to add that the glass was removed, and Biddy kept at an increased salary. Quips, Quirps, and Quadlibels.

Man ea make money, but God alone can make health and peace; and without these, the richest are only the most miserable. _ A. Frenchman of immense wealth fitted up a most gorgeous palace in Paris. A gen tleman who obtained leave to visit it, re lates that upon entering the dining room he found a table magnificently laid out. " Your master," he obi•erved to the mai tre d'hotel, " makes wonder fully good cheer." " Alas ! sir, my master never sits down to a regular dinner,—a single plate of vege tables it prepared for him." " Here, at least, is food for the eye," said the visitor, pointing to the pictures. "Alas! sir, my master is nearly blind!" " Well," resumed the visitor, on entering another room, "he compensates himself by listening to good music." " Alas ! sir, my master has never heard the nillAC which is played here; he goes to bed early in the hope of snatching a few minutes sleep." "But, at all events, he enjoys the pleas ure of walking in that magnificent garden." 'Alas! sir, he cannot walk." In a word, for all the purposes Of enjoy ment, the millionaire was the poorest of the poor, in other words, a poor rich man ! Safety Lamps. Extracts from newspapers and advertise ments relating to so-called "safety lamps," for burning cheap kerosene or benzine have been frequently sent to us, with the request that we would express an opinion regarding them. We remark, in brief that no lamp can be constructed in which these highly flammabl e liquids may be used with safe ty. The " escape-valves" and " sidetubes" usually employed are of no service what ever in connection with lamps. They do not is the slightest degree insure safety. Benzine is dangerous lo harbor in familial. More deaths are caused by breaking lamps than by explosions. - Very few lamps really explode. Men, women, and children are burned to death by spilling the Ikprid upon the clothing, upsetting lamps or cans ; and most of the explosions reported] are road dents of this nature. Exemption hum danger is secured only by preventing in flammable liquids from entering the dwell ing—not by the use of "safety lamps': or vessels for,holding the liquids. Have noth ing to do with these devices. Purchase and use 'only good kerosene oil, of legal stand ard, and you are safe.—Boslon Journal of About the Bridge at Leavenworth City, KiIIINUS.

The dinner was brought and devoured, and the eater called the landlord aside and thus addressed him : ' You mire the landlord?' Yes.' ' You do a good business here?' ' Yes,' (in astonishment.)

' I cannot, pay my bills with such promi ses,' blustered the landlord ; and Ido not keep a poor-house. You should address the proper authorities. Leave me something for security.' 'I have nothing.'

Well, I solemnly aver that one week front now I will pay you.' ' I will take your coat.' The coat was left, and a week afterward redeemed. Seven years after that a wealthy Man en tered the political arena, and was - presented to a caucus as an applicant for Cong,ressional nomination. The chairman of the caucus held his peace. Ile heard the mune and his tory of the applicant, who was a member of the church and one of the most respected citizens. The Vote was a tie and he cast a negative, thereby defeating the wealthvatp plicaat, 'whom he met an hour afterward, and to whom he said: ' You don't remember me V No.' I once ate dinner in your hotel, and al - I told you I was furnishing, and pledged my word and honor to pay you in a week, you took my coat and saw me go ont in the inclement air, at the risk of my life without it.' ' Well, sir. «•hat then?' ' Not much. You call yourself a Chris tian. To-night you were a candidate for nomination, and but for me you would have been elected to Congress.' Three years after the Christian hot el-kcep er became bankrupt. The dinnerless wretch that was, is now a high functionary. The ways of Providence are indeed wonderful, and the world's mutations almost beyond conception and belief. Sounding the Wheels'. Often as I travel on the railroad, I per ceive that onr train never passes a certain station without stopping . four or five Mill a LOS, during which we hear loud ringing of hammers upon the wheels. A couple of men go from one end of the train to the other, one on each side, and with a large hammer strike' eyeiS , wheel, to learn by the sound whether it is in perfect order or not. For this reason the .sound is not an un pleasant one, for it tells us that the compa ny is giving proper attention to the safety of its passengers. Our life is like a railroad track, and here and there should be stations, not too far apart, where we may stop a little while and sound the wheels. And what are the wheels? Habits. Life's journey is chiefly made in the way of habit; human action tends to run in grooves.

We say,', then, to our young friends, sound the wheels, sound the wheels ! Keep yourselves in good running order. T:xlking too Much. Most young ladies have a dreadful pen chant lhr talking a great deal more than is necessary fur their own good or the good of their friends. Young girls cannot be too careful in their conversation with gentle men, to avoid these retu:u•ks which, though harmless in themselves, sound very badly When repeated to a third party. It is a melancholy fact that there is fre quently a pride among young men—young men, too, WllO pass in society as gentlemen, which lead, them to repeat conversations, shooing that tht•y are on terms of intimacy ith certain ladies. Conscieac, is some times so directed to technicalities that if the word s repeated arc• really the words of the lady, a fusing man is willing to have them misinterpreted. Such conduct merits the contempt of any true gentleman, nor is a downright liar, W/10 tells a story with un blushing atfrontery, half its contemptible as a person who lulls the truth in such a way that it means a lie. There are very many occasions in which a lady finds herself conversing on subjects fordidden by the usual laws which regulate the social relations of the sexes. The cir cumstances under which she does this ren ders it entirely harmless, and she violates no rule of propriety. She reposes in the gentleman, however, a dangerous confi dence. liar most innocent words sound very differently repeated. to a third party, and may SCHOUsIy injure her reputation. Chinese Barbering.
