The Art of net Hearing.
The art of not hearing is fully ns
important to domestic happiness us n
cultivated car, for whicn so much time
and money ure expended. There nre
so many things which are so painful
o hear, many of which, if heard, will
disturb the temper and detract from
coiitoutnieut and happiness, thut every
one 'hould be oducuted to take in or
shut out sounds at will. If a man
falls into a violent pussimi and culls
me nil manner of numts, the first
word shuts my ears, and I hoar no
more. If in my quiet voyage of life 1
am caught iu one ol those domestic
whirlwinds ot scolding, I shut up nit
eurs, us a suitor would furl his sail
and, making nil tight, scud before the
iralo. If a !i"t and restless man ho-
gins to it. flame mY feelings, I consider
what mischief these sparks miy-lit do
iu the magazine: below, where my tern,
per is kept, und instai.tly close the
door. Di es a gadding, mischief-making
fellow hegi:i to inlbrni me what
people are saying about me, down
drops the portcullis of mv our, and he
cannot get in at y l'nvt her. Some peo
ple feel so very anxious to hear every
thing that will vex and annoy them,
they sot about searching uud finding it
nt. If all the petty things said of
one by the heedless or ill-natured
uliers were to be brought home to hi in,
he would become a mere walkii.g pin
cushion, 81 Hi-k full of sharp remarks.
I should as soon thank u man for
emptying on my head a bushel of net
ties, or selling loose a swarm of uios
ipiitois in my chamber, or raising a
pui'gi tit in my house generally, as lo
in li g upon iiiu all the tut tie of spite-
If.il people. If you would be huppv,
when among good men, open your
curs; whcij uiuniig bud, shut tin m. It
is tint worth whi o to hear what your
si rviiuts any when they have slammed
the door; what a hoe gar says whose
petition you huvo rejected ; what your
neighbors say about your children;
hat your rivals shv about yt.ur busi
lie.-s i' dress. 1 have noticed that a

"Mad am," said a cross tempered
physician to il patient, "if Women were
udmitled to Paradise, their tongues
would make it purgatory." "And
some physicians if allowed to practice
there," replied the lady, would make

li i in there.
All truly fashionable members of
good society carry two haiiduerch els

meekly asked a lady I lie ol her evening
why this was thus, uud she replied,

Fish Story.
The last fish story comes from Jfew
Jersy. Lately in tlio interior of thnt
State a mild I okinir countrymen en
tered a railway car, bearing a hand
kerchief, which he placed under the
seat at one end of the car. Afier
traveling along for about half an hour,
a lady sitting in front of the country
jian was observed to niovo Uneasily
on her seat, and to cast savage glances
at a seemingly respectable man sitting
hy her side. In a few, minutes another
lady, still further to the iront, "became
uneasy, and at last, rising in her seat,
requested some gentleman to protect
her from an elderly looking gentinan
by her side; uud who, she stated, hud
insulted her. A dozen persons ollered
their assistance, and before the accused
could speak in his own defence his hat
was jammed down over his eyes, and
he was dragged to the rear of the car.
While there, and carrying on with the
avengers a war of words as to what
the indignity meant, still another laity
rose, and so seated further up the car,
and 'accused a gentleman silting' be
hind her with improper conduct.' A
rush wui inaiie jbr insuiter" number
two, hut that gentleman vigorously
defended himself wiili a large walking
stick he happened to have (and wliit.li,
by the way, was one cause of the last
troubles, his necusor stating thut he
had indecorously bten nipping her
ankles under the seat with the sumo)
and while the struggle to get at him
'.vas still iu progress, somebody iu the
fro'."' of, the car shouted, "There's u
siin!;e mi Ihe floor!" A scene then en
sued. The todies the car clamber

seats. Une elderly maiden manage

The Girl who Win.
The time has passed away when wo
men must be pale und delicate to be
called interesting when she must bo

she must know nothing of the current
political news tf the day. or he called

It is not a sign of high birth or re

Iu these days an active, rosy-faced
girl, with brain quick aud clear, warm,
light heart, a temper quickly heated
at intended insult or injury, and just
as quick to forgive; whose feet can run
as fust as her tongue and not put her
out of breath ; who is not afraid of
freckles, or to breathe the pure air of
heaven, unrestrained by the ('rawn
curtains of a close carriage; and above
all, who can speak her mind und give
her opinion on important topics which
interest intelligent people, is the true
girl who will m-ke a good woman.
This is the girl who wins iu these
days. Even fops and dandies like a
woman who can taik well, even if she
is tint handsome. They weary of the
most beautiful creature if she is not
smart. They say, "Aw, y-e-s, she is a
beauty, am! mi mistake, but she won't
do for me lack of brains" of which
commodity, it would ioem, she could
have little use in her association with
him ; however, to please even an einp-ty-hended
fop, a woman must know
something.
