fleet that a sound mind and body are the most
ccssary requisites to promote connubial happl
ss. Indeed w ithout these, the journey through
e lKcomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect
mi'iy darkens to the view ; the uilnd becomes
adowed w ith despair and tilled with themelau
,o'.y reflection, that the haipinesa of another
coines blighted with ourown.
A CEF.TAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
ensure finds that he has Imbibed the seeds of
is painful disease, it too often hapjieiis that an
-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
ters him from applying to those who, from
ueation and respectability, can alone befriend
iu, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ot
is horrid disease make their apiearance, such
ulcerated sore throat, diseased uo-e, uoctural
ins iu the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
nfness, nodes on the shin bones and arms,
jtchesonthe head, face and extremities, pro
essing with friehtful rapidity, till at last the
late of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall
, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
j.eriod to his dreadful suflering, by sending
in to " that Undiscovered Country from w hence
traveller returns." j
It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE i
timstothis terrible disease, through falling
0 the hands of Ignorant or unskillful l'KE- j
ANDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi- 1
n, Mercury, Vc, destroy the coufctitution, and
apable of curing, keep the unhappy sufferer j
itith aft-r month taking their noxious or in- ,
rious compounds, and instead of lH-ing restored
a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, in dc-- ,
ir leave him with ruined Health to siirh over !
galling disappointment. ;
1 o snch, therefore, Dr. John-ton pledges him- :
f to preserve the most Inviolable (v-rrccv, and
mi his extensive practice and observations in i
; great Hospitals of Europe, ana me tirst ir.
s country, ir. : England, France, Philadelphia
d elsewhere, is enabled to ofter the ino-t eer

Our Loved Oues iu Heaven.
I-T S. 4I1NSIE LF.HCH.
Why do we mourn o"r pitrted friends ?
That dwell iu Heaven above,
'Tis but the voice of Him who sends.
To call them to nis home.
They bloom and fade like summer flowers,
Amidst the bloom of June;
But e're there comes another shower,
They drop into the tomb.
No more they'll join onr youthful band ;
No more with u to weep :
They reign in endless summer land,
Their eyes shall know no sleep.
Our friends are robed in garments white
And crowns of gold they wear,
They sing their songs with pure delight.
And know no sorrow there.
O ! how we loTed to meet them here,
Our happy angels fair,
To mingle with our songs aud tears.
May we but meet there.
There endless springs of life do flow,
O'er plains of peace and love,
Aud balmy zephyrs gentle blow,
?cr flowers that bloom above.
When all the hosts have passed away,
And mourning be no more,
They still continue praise above
On that Immortal shore.
These weeping willows silent bend
Their branches o'er the tomb,
These stoues proclaim that they have went.
To brighter Worlds unknown.
hen shall we meet our friends again ?
That w e so dearly loved,
When snail we sing with those that sung
A thousand years ago ?
Eiulting, bright immortal throug,
That meet around the throne,
Saints ol all ages, kindreds, tongue,
Continue praise above.
Praise God for blessings here bestowed,
Thank Him for answering prayers,
We'll praise Him when we're done below.
And dwell forever there.
They dwell in beauty side by side,
On that Immortal shore,
There roam in glory with delight.
And know no weeping there.
May we forget to shed our tears,
For those ang-illc ones,
And turn our hearts In future years,
To Him who dries our tears.
When we are numbered with the dead.
And slumbered 'neath the clay,
We too shall join with those that rest,
Iu one eternity.
THE SABBATH BELLS.
The old man sits in his easy-chair,
And his ear has caught the ringing
Of many a church-bell far and near,
Their own sweet music singing.
And his head sinks low on the aged breasl,
While his thoughts far back are reaching
To the Sabbath morns of his boyish days,
Aud a mother's sacred teaching.
A few years later, and lo ! the bells
A merrier strain were pealing,
And heavenward bore the marriage vows
Which his manhood's joy were scaling.
But the old man's eyes are dimming now,
As memory holds before him
The sad, sad picture of Liter years,
When the tide of grief rolled o'er him.
Wheu the hells were tolling for loved ones gone!
For the wife, for the sons aud daughters.
Who, one by one, from his home went ont,
And down into death's dark waters.
But the aged heart has still one joy,
Which his old life daily blesses,
And his eyes grow bright and his pulses warm
'Neath a grandchild's sweet caresses.
But the old man wakes from his reverie,
And his dear old face Is smiling,
While the child with her serious eyes reads on,
The Sabbath hours beguiling.
Ah ! bells, ouce more ye will ring for him,
When the heavenly hand shall sever
The cord of life, and his freed soul flies
To dwell with his own forever.

IX A COKLEK'S SHOP.
! 'Well, he's come at Iat ! and Alice
j Devlin tossed her hat on one chair and
j dropped herself upon another.
'Who's come ?' asked her sister Mattie
I lazily over her book.
'Who? As if you didu't know ! Why,
j that wonderful Clarence Crane, of course ;
' of whom the Winslows have been Lilkiug;
for the last mouth. I met Ella Winslow
crossing the ark. She told me the news,
and likewise said that we were all to go
there this evening to drink lea on the lawn,
aud have a dance afterwards ; aud my
gracious !' she suddenly cried, startled out
f propriety by the frightfuluess of the
thought, 'my dancing boots have lost a
heel, and Anu has gone out. How in the
world will I get it mended ?'
'Send it to the cobbler's of course,' said
Mattie.
I 'As if I didn't know that. Uut did you
i hear me say that Anu was out. And you
, know it's not probable that she will return
! iu time to take it. What shall I do ?'
Mattie shrugged her shoulders, serenely
I indifferent in the possession of sound shoes;
but a voice which attracted atteutiou to a
i window seat, where a trim little figure was
j seen, said ;
1 'Don't look so disconsolate, Alice ; I'll
i take your shoe to the cobbler's.
j J
'You !' exclaimed Alice ; and even lan
! guid Mattie looked astonished,
i 'Yes, I, 'continued the voice, which be
! longed to Janet, the middle sister of the
j two, who, unlike the others, was not a
beauty ; nor was she particularly clever ;
but as is often the case under such circum
stances, she was exceedingly goodnatured,
aud rather indejieudeut in her speech aud
! conduct. 'Yes, I will go I Why do you
stare so ? Is the undertaking so very diffi
cult that you consider it beyond nty abili
ty V
'No, of course not, how absurd It But
will you really walk through the heat and
dust to the villiage, and wait in the dirty
little cobbler's shop till he mends my
shoes V
'Certainly. I confess the walk will be
rather fatigueing, but I won't mind it ; and
as to sitting in the dirty shop, I don't think
even that would injuro me beyond the
reach of soap and water; but I need not
tisk it, for I have business in the village
that will occupy me while the shoe is being
mended. Come, get your boot, Alice.
Think bow terrible it would 1)6 if I should
get there loo late.'
'Well, if you will, I suppose you will,
said Alice. I consider it ungrateful to
turn from blessings offered ; but I wrO
you, and wash my hands of results.'
She left the room for the shoe, and in a
short time Janet was bearing it to the Tillage.
Alice had not overrated the toil and pain
of the way. The sun was hot, and the
dust thick. Janet felt herself sorely in need
of the revivifying influence of 6oap and
water, even before she had braved the uugy
depths of the proscribed shop ; but she did
not mind it a whit, and wiped her plump
face, with vigor, and good nature, as she
paused a moment before entering to exe
cute bcr commission.
The cobbler was very busy, as cobbWrs
always are ; but to oblige the young lady,
he would try to have the boot fixed in an
hour. Janet thanked him for his condes
cension, and telling him she would return
in that time, left the shop. Her business
occupied her longer than she expected, and
the time was passed by fifteen miuutes
when she again, a good deal hotter and not
quite so good natured, stood before the
cobbler, who was serenely stitching away
on an embossed strap. Was the shoe
done? Of course not. Did a cobbler ever
keep his word ? Never, and this one was
no exception to the rule. He was very
sorry, but a gentleman had offered to pay
him well if he would mend that strap right
off. He was a poor man and the young
lady wouldn't be bard on him. Just wait
a few seconds, and the shoe would be done
in a twinkle. Janet felt still less good na
tured at this ; in truth she was downright
cross, and could have Bcolded the cobbler
soundly. But that would have only made
her warmer, without helping things, and
she refrained. The cobbler offered her a
rickety stool. She eyed it suspiciously and
turned to the door ; but the scorched street
and blazing sun were even leas attractive ;
and accepting the stool as the lesser evil,
she placed it against the opposite side of
the shop, and gathered up her skirts, seat
ed herself to philosophize and steal the
cobbler's trade, while he fixed the shoe".
Alice had not maligned the place in her
description. It was both dirty and hot,
and the smell of the old leather that pre
vaded it was far from refreshing.and Janet
was just debating whether it wns making
her sick or sleepy, when a small earthquake
suddenly agitated her stool, and the next
instant she was striving to arise in an
ocean of old boots, shoes, lasts and lap
stones. The attempt was a failure ; but
before sh had discovered it, a pair of
strong arms lifted her to her feet, and she
found herself face to fare with six feet of
masculine humanity, bronzed and bearded
in the most approved style, who exclaimed
eagerly.
'Good Heavens, Miss, I hope you are not
hurt ! How could you be so careless os to
sit before the door ?'
Xow Janet wasn't in a state of mind to
receive meekly the most gentle reproof,
smarting as she was from her bruises and
a sense of injury ; and these unfortunate
words fired her as a hot coal does gun
powder. 'Careless ; indeed 1' You had better
take that to yourself, you great clumsy ele
phant, and a little civil too, in the bargain.
The idea ! As if it weren't bad enough to
be pitched into a pile of dirty old boots and
shoes, without being told it was tine's own
fault, for uot knowing such a blockhead
was around. I never heard of such impu
dence ! Is that shoii done V and seizing
it raoro quickly than politely, she flounced
out of the shop, before the astonished man
could offer either apology or explanation.
She reached home at a temperature con
siderable above a hundred. She threw the
shoe at Alice, and declining the invitation
for the evening, and refusing to answer any
questions on her disarranged attire, retired
to her room.
Alice and Mattie attended the tea party
and the next day they were enthusiastic in
their admiration of the hero, Clarence
Crano. 'So handsome ; so intellectual, and
distinguished, and, oh, Jauet ! you should
have met him, for he is au artist, and
paints such beautiful pictures. He has
given each of the Winslow girls one, and
they are exquisite.'
Janet shrugged her shoulders contemptu
ously, and said :
tWorueii, I suppose in elegant silk dress
es, with plenty of jewelry and impossible
complexions ; or, jierhaps, children with
crimped hair, standing over flowers, war
ranted genuine French. Thank you ; my
concience haunts me for the canvas I spoil,
and I don't care to harrass my soul farther
by beholdiHg the sins of others.'
Janet, you are incorrigible ; but never
mind. I told him you painted, and he will
soou call to see you.'
'I am exceedingly sorry, for he will only
get his trouble for his pains. I positively
declino lo know him ;" and Janet saunter
ed out on the lawn, where she stood a few
moments, and then walked slowly back to
the house, and up to a little room she called
her studio. We said Janet was not parti
cularly lovely, nor was she in the general
acceptance of the term ; but the good Fa
ther had given her, as he has every one of
His children, one gift iu which she could
excel and find happiness ; this was paint
ing. Her whole soul was wedded to it
She reveled in all that was beautiful in na
ture, and saw beauty in everything. To
her eyes, rich colors aud delicate tints were
what the deep, full harmouy chorus aire to
the ear of the musician. As she closed the
door of this sanctuary behind her, the pet
ulant look faded from her face, and a
bright, soft radiance spread over it. She
went to her easel ; a bright, unfinished
landscape lay on it. She picked up a brush
and added a few strokes ; but they did not
seem to please her, and, throwing the brush
aside, she took a piece of paper and began
to sketch carelessly. But as she worked
she grew more interested, till she became
completely absorbed ; and had any one
been there to look over her shoulder, he
would have seen, growing under her hand ;
the face of the roan who had brought her to
grief iu the the cobbler's shop. She worked
on it about an hour and then springing up,
Bhe took her landscape from the easel, and,
replaced it with a smaller canvas, she
transferred her sketch to it ; and then, as
though ashamed of what she had done, she
turned the face downward and left the room,
locking the door behind her.
Mr. Crane called that day, but Janet had
gone to visit a neighbor. In a few days he
called again, but Janet was locked up with
her picture and would not appear. And
so time passed by ; Mr. Crane talked with
Alice and Mattie in the parlor, and Janet
leoking into a pair of brown eyes in her
Btudio, till one day, just as the last touch
had been given, the door flew open and
May, her twelve year old sister, entered,
Baying:
Janet, Mr. Crane is here, and she
topped short, looked at the picture and
New Series, Vol. 6, .o. 27.
Old Series, Vol. 35, No. 27.
then cried : 'Why, Mr. Crane's likeness !
How splendid. I'll Lake it down and show
him ;' and before Janet could interfere, she
had snatched the picture from the easel
and ran from the room.
Janet followed at the top of her speed ;
but May distanced her, and she reached
the parlor iu time to see her picture held up
before the astonished eyes of its original
her enemy of the cobbler's shop.
Janet lived through the scene that fol
lowed as people always do aud a week
later she laughed at what she thought was
so distressing, and before the summer was
over she had formed such a high opiuion
of Mr. Crane, both as an artist and a man,
that she promised to go to Home with him
the next spring to see the grand old pic
tures there. And he says there is not one
whose glory would not pale, if she would
only do a little piece to be called
'In a Cobbler's Shon.'

Going to Funerals. Mrs. Harkins
stopped in yesterday as she was on bcr
way home from the funeral. She said the
corpso didn't look a bit natural, and she
was almost sorry she went. Mrs. Harkins
makes it a business to attend funerals, aud
what she says can be relied on. As soon
as she hears any one is likely to die, she
pays a visit; and if death ensues and she
can get a chance to 'sit up with the corpse,'
she is there on time, and she never leaves
until she sees the grave filled up.
And Mrs. High is another. She doesn't
take the least interest in the spring styles
or neighborhood scandals, but let any one
die, aud she is all attention. She wants
to know what they died of ; whether they
were prepared ; whether they mentioned
anything about her as they went off; whe
ther they kicked around or died quietly ;
and if they requested to be buried in white
or black. Then she visits the house of
mourning. Aff she enters by the back way
she commences to get her mourning look on,
and by the time she gets through to the
front room one would think she had lost
five children at once. "How very natu
ral I seems as if she was sleeping," she
whispers, as she bends over the dead. Then
she takes off her bonnet, and takes charge
of the house, sending word to her family
that they must get along without her as
best they can, until she has done her duty.
And Mrs. Jobkins is another. If any
one dies without her having heard that
they were likely to go, she can't forgive
herself for a month. On the day of the fu
neral she sends her children away, has
Jobkins take his dinuer to the shop, and
she puts on black and attends. She com
mences to shed tears when she leaves home,
aud only ends when she returns. She al
ways secures the best seat in the best hack,
is the first one at the grave, remembers all
about the sermon, and in five years from
that day she can tell who cried and who
didu't ; whether the corpse looked natural
or otherwise ; how many carriages were
out, and iu fact, ali about it.
Ouce when I was down with fever the
old ghoul heard that I was going to die.
She came over on the gallop, and as she sat
by the bed she said to my wife : "Of course
you'll have a black velvet coffin, trimmed
with silver nails, and real lace around the
inside." Theu she wanted to know if I
was prepared ; if I wanted to request my
wife not to marry again ; if I had ever
cheated anybody, and wanted to nsk their
forgiveness, and she promised me one of
the largest funeral processions of the sea
sou ; she was awfully disappointed when I
began to mend, and she said to one of her
friends :
"It's another o' them cases where he was
ho wicked he couldn't die." Jtf. Quad.
The Duty or a Woman to be a lady.
Wildness is a thing which girls cannot af
ford. Delicacy is a thing which cannot be
lost and found. No art can restore to the
grape its bloom. Familiarity without love,
without confidence, without regard, is de
structive to all that makes women exalting
aud ennobling :
"The world is wide, things are ainall ;
They may tie nothing, but they are all."
Nothing ? It is the first duty of a wo
man to be a lady. Good breeding is good
sense. Bad manners iu women is immor
ality. Awkwardness may be ineradicable.
Bashfulness is constitutional. Ignorauce
of etiquette is the result of circumstances.
AU can be coudoued, and lo not banish
man or woman from the amenities of their
kind. But self-possessed, unshrinking and
aggressive coarseness of demeanor may be
reckoned as a State prisou offense, and cer
tainly merits the mild form of restraint
called imprisonment for life. It is a shame
for women to be lectured on their manners.
It is a bitter shame that they need it. Wo
men are the umpires of society. It is they
to whom all mooted points should be re
ferred. To be a lady is more than t. be a
prince. A lady is always in her right in
alienably worthy of respect. To a lady,
prince aud peasaut alike bow. IV) not be
restrained. Do not have the impulses that
need restraiut. Do not wish to dance with
the prince unsought. P'eel differently. Be
such that you confer honor. Carry your
self so loftily that men shall look up to you
for reward, not at you for rebuke. The
natural sentiment of man toward woman
is reverence. He loses a large means of
grace, when he is obliged to account her
a being to be trained into propriety. A
man's ideal is not wounded wheu a woman
fails in worldy wisdom, but if in grace, in
fact, in sentimeut, in delicacy, in kindness,
she should be found wanting, he receives
an inward hurt. Gail Hamilton.
Compulsory Kissing. Everybody iu
Faraguay smokes, aud every female above
the age of thirteen chews. I am wrong.
They do not chew, but put tobacco in their
mouths, keep it there constantly, except
when eating, and instead of chewing it,roll
it about and suck it. Only imagine your
self about to salute the red lips of a magni
ficent little Hebe, arrayed in satin and
flashing with diamouds, as she puts you
back with oue delicate hand, while with the
other she draws forth from her mouth a
brownish black roll of tobacco, quite two
inches long, looking like a monBtcr grub,
and depositing the savory lozenge on the
brim of her sombrero, puts up her face.and
is ready for salute. I have sometimes
seen an over-delicate foreigner turn away
with a shudder of loathing under such cir
cumstances, and get the epithet of the sa
vage applied to him by the offended beauty
for his sensitive squeamishness. However,
one soon gets used to this in Taragnay,
where you are, pet- fmre of custom, abliged

Fity the Fooit Frintek. A writer in
Our Monthly lias evidently been inside a
composing room, if he has not 'dug a living
out of a case.' He thus sums up the re
sult of his experience : 'Working for forty
editors and scoies of authors, every one of
whom is as sensitive as a sore thumb, and
as lively and interesting as a hornet, no
wonder that printers take to drink, or die
young, and only pachydermatous, grizzly,
mulish specimens get their share of life.
We wish we could offer ourself as an awful
example of the perils that environ the man
who meddles with cold type. A thorough
ly trained printer should have had a step
mother ; and then a step-father, and then
have been bound out to a tanner, and then
have married a scolding wife and lived in
a smoky house, and have had a family of
babies who were afflicted with the colic
lie should have added to all this discipline
a thorough knowledge of science, art, law,
languages, theology, history aud biogra
phy. If, in addition, he has a wicked look
ing couutenance and an amiable disposi
tion, he may stand some chance with those
authors and editors ; but the probabilities
are, after all, that they will worry him to
an early death.'
The precise date when the canary
was introduced iuto Europe is disputed.
One authority,- that of the sixteenth centu
ry, has it that a vessel which had been
cruising among the isbmds off the west
coast of Africa, was returning to Leghorn
with a miscellaneous cargo, among which
were a number of these birds, when off the
coast of Elba the vessel was wrecked, and
the birds being freed made for land. Their
exquisite singing attracted the natives of
the island, who soon had them all snared.
No difficulty was found in finding purcha
sers, and in a short time they were scatter
ed all over Europe.
Ikon Dip.ectly from Ore. A process
for the manufacture of iron direct from ore,
the use of the blast furnace being dispensed
with, has been invented by F. W. Gerhard.
Instead of pig iron this process employs a
compound called 'iron coke,' which con
sists ofa mixture of ore (or any substance
containing iron,) the necessary fluxes, and
the equivalent of carbon. A lump of this
compound is put into this furnace, and by
the signal process known as 'balling,' a
'heat' may be obtained in considerably less
time, aud with considerably less labor than
under the old method, the process of 'melt- .
ing' and 'boiling' being entirely dispensed
with. The most important feature of the
invention is the great saving which it effects
in fuel.
A True Lady. Beauty and style are
not the surest passports to respectability.
Some of the noblest specimens of woman
hood that the world has ever seen, have
presented the plainest and most unprepos
sessing appearance. A woman's worth is
to be estimated by the real gooduess of her
heart, the greatness of her soul, and the
purity and sweetness of her character ; and
a woman with a kindly disposition, and
well balanced temper, is both lovely and
attractive, be her face ever so plain and
her figure ever so homely ; she makes the
best of wives, and the truest of mothers.
She has a higher purpose in living than the
beautiful yet vain and supercilious woman,
who has no higher ambition than to flaunt
her finery on the street, or to gratify her
inordinate vanity by extracting flattery and
praise from society whose compliments are
as hollow as they are insincere.
Nothing Like Trust. Spurgeon says:
There is nothing iu the world that im
presses a man so much as trust Some
years ao I was mastered by a dog in that
way. I own, in fact, that I was beaten
hollow, and he was conqueror over me.
He came iuto my garden, and he had no
bttsiuess there. Thinking that he would
uot improve my tlovver-bed, I walked along
quietly and threw my stick at him, and
thus advised him t go somewhere else.
What did that dog do ? He stopped, pick
ed up the stick, wagged his tail, and came
runniug to me with it, and laid the stick
down at my feet. I felt ashamed of having
thrown my sjiek, and the dog was told he
might come round the garden when he
liked. (Laughter.) How could 1 do other
wise ?
A Brave Girl. Everybody will have
a feeling of respect for the brave Rhode
Island girl, who, being about to graduate
at a seminary, refused to accept the ap
pointment of valedictorian because she
couldn't stand the expense of such a dress
as she would be expected to wear. Her
reply to the remonstrance was : "I can
not afford to dress ; I shall, in all pro
bability, never hive occasion to wear it
after I leave school ; I need books and
other helps to father culture, and I must
choose between the Ixwiks and the dress.
I choose the books." And so some other
girl of less scholastic merits delivered the
valendictory.
