The charm of Woman.--There are many
defects in tie character but beauty and gen.
tie manners in the great estimate of women,
GO far toward supplying their want of energy,
and even their want of heart.
1t is as wife that these defects appear and
grow upon the disappointed husband, like
frightful figures exhibited by magic lantern,
increasing in hideousness as they increase in
magnitude and distinctness. 1t is when the
doating lover begins TO suspect that the silent
ness, is in reality the silence of the soul-the
calm of imperturable stagnation, when he dis
covers that he has devoted his first and best
affections TO beautiful but marble statute;--
when he returns to his home, which ought to
be IAN ever sunny place. and finds nothing
but the yawning vacancy OF cold and cheer
less void; when he pourS his fresh warm feel
ings that burst in unstudied language from his
burning lips, upon the stony surface of an IN.
sensible heart--and tina heart woman'Sl-
1t is then that he thinks back repealed and
blasted, as if the blooming charms he once ador.
ed were exchanged for deformity and hor.
! ror.
| Oh! is it by the secret fountain of never
changing Iove-the well of inexhaustible re.
| freshment in the desert--the rose that blooms
| forever beneath the sunshine OF one beloved
eye-the voice that rises in continued strain o
melody above all the discord of the world-the
bird of beauty, whose faithful wing is never
folded save in its own sheltered neSt-tht
pure unsullied stream, offering sweetness anC
balm in every bosom it meets, but reservine
the full tide of its gadness for one-it is by
such mystical symbols as these that we would
describe the natural, the distinctive, the holy
charm of woman-not by her perfect form
her ruby lips her sparkling eyes, or her silkeI
tresses, whether they fall in raven messe
over marble brow, or glitter in the sunbeam
! like threads of waving gold.

Energy Of Character.--Energy OF character
is the philosophers stone OF this lie, ana
should be engraved upon every heart; 1t is that
which has peopled the temple OF fame, that
which filled the historic world; that which
has brought race from barbarlsm, drawn the
veil from science, and developed the wondrous
powers of nature, it makes men great ana
makes men rich. First or last 1t brings sue
cess. Without it Webst erwould have been
new Hampshire lawyer, Thomas Ewing
buckeye salt boiler, Franklin journeyman
printer Without it DemostheneS would have
s,ammered on to the grave, and Cnclnnatus
died common soldier, Shakespeare would
have been shot for poachng, Pope died selling
tape. Roscoe lived selling beer, and Napoleon
gone out of the world CorScin bully. Witn
i each one has not only done much Tor MS
dav and generation, but muc for the world IN
the past, the present and the future.
Energy OF character will do the same thing
for any man in small way that 1t has done Tor
these. Give the lawyer ENERGY of character
and he will succeed at the bar without talent
It is the secret by which the merchant, the ar
fist the scholar and mechanic, arrive at dlstlnc'
ton and wealth If they fall once, they try
AGAIN; no contrary winds beat them down, Oh
; If down, they will not stay down. The mar
who has energy of character will rise in spite
t of fortune and In spite of opposition. GIVE
man energy and he is made man put min
where YOU will. 1t is this fact that gives u
: confidence that the American people will rls
from their present depresSions soon as IN

Der which her auburn locks were stray1hg'

Would shame the brightest spheres of heaven,
That walk the chambers of the skies,
Upon moonless summer even.

And that her cheek had stole their dye,
From wild rose and magnolia blossom.

That should She on its homage frown,

And then gazed upon her form, :,
And pressed her small white hand win lerVor

There are always two parties in the case o.
bargains The gamer and the loser. And

When Grahamites fatten and beef-eaters dW1ndle,

When mint drops shall flow up the broad MISSISSIPPI l.

Height of WdueS.-So awful is the spec
tacle of storm at sea, that it is generally
viewed through medium which bases the
Judgment; and, lofty as the waves really are,
Imagination pictures them loftier still: Now,
no wave rises more than ten feet above the
ordinary sea-level, which, with the ten feet
that its surface afterwards descends below this,
give twenty feet for the whole height, from
the bottom of any water valley 10 an adjoln-
ing summit. This proposition is easily verified
by person who tries at what height, upon
"a ships mast the horizon remains always IN
sight over the top of the waves, allowance be-
ing made for accidental inclinations OF the
vessel, and for her sinking in the water so much
below her water line, at the time when she
reaches the bottom of the hollow between two
waves. The spray of the sea, driven along by
the violence of the wind, is, of course, much
higher than the summit of the liquid waVe
and wave coming against an obstacle may
dash to a great elevation above it. At the
Eddystone Lighthouse, when surge breaks
which has been growing under storm all the
wav across the Atlantic. it dashes even over
The lantern at the summit.-Arnott's Elements

Nev England.-The following eloquent tri-
butte to the men and mountains of New Eng
land is from lecture delivered lately in New
York by the Hon. Isaac Hill of New Hamp-
shire. The subject of which the speaker trea-
ted was the "mountains of New England"
The mountain Homes of New England
there is halo of happiness around them
they are haIlowed in their every association
The mountains What virtue is there found
on earth that dwells not there. A sweet poe.
tess Of another land has sung their praise in
that fine chant--the refrain TO which IS
"For the strength of the hills we bless thee,
Our God, Fathers God!
Thou hast made thy children mighty,
By the strength of the mountain sod
For the strong pines of the forest,
That by thy breath is stirred
Fer the deep gorge of the mountain
Where thy still voice is heard:
For the storm whose free pinions
Thy spirit walks abroad,
For the Strength of the hills we bless thee,
Our God our Fathers God!"
The spirit ofliberty dwells in the mountains
It was with the Scots that bled with Wallace
1t was in Switzerland, on the hills of the Vau
dois, sustaining the Waldenses against thei'
ruthless prosecutors; it was with William Tell
when he fought for the freedom of his native
llandI 1t was with the TyroleSe, on the greer
hills of Tyrol, the song of freedom sounded
1t is now with the brave CircasSans, on TIN
hills of Caucasus, assisting them TO crush thu
lhordes of the Russian tyrant! Look at home
lat our mountain homes-Where will yol
meet with men of more true chivalry of char
,, acter! where will you meet with race OF mel
superior to those that came from the rock boun'
soil of New England Rogers and Stark wit
their snow-shoes, leading single company c
rangers, could do more towards checking an
destroying savage foe, than Lord Howe wit
: thousands irregular troops.

MooNsHrxE AND MEIoDY.-A select number
of love-struck, moon-struck and music-Struck,
Young gentlemen supplied with the necessary
quantity of lutes, flutes and guitars, took 1t In
to their heads on Thursday evening to seren-
ade a young lady, or rather an old house IN
St. Charles Street, in which they believed
Young LADY to be, but in which there was no
lady, either young or old.
They tuned their instruments, attuned their
voices, and performed away for some thirty
or forty minutes. making night hideous with
songs and airs, breathing sublimated sentiment;
when negro wench, with mouth like a.
ivory KEYED accordion, raised the window anil
addressed the vocal and instrumental amateurs
underneath:
"Look hea, gemmen, faint no use to be 1901

What horrible place New York must be

What horrible place New York must be?
One of the papers of that city says
"a lady cannot leave home, even by day
light, to walk half dozen blocks, without run
ming the risk of being followed, annoyed, her
face stared into, impudent looks and gestures
directed towards her, and other insults, by
moustached foreigners in cloaks, titled and un-
titled roues, young lawyers without briefs
naryenue lterati, and oafers of all descriptions,
who hang about the fashionable stores Of
Broadway, and the steps of all the hotels
But we now caution them that their days are
numbered. A party of modest young men
whose sisters and friends have been subject te
these insults, have resolved to watch and MARI
the scoundrels, pick them off the steps Of thu
Astor and ether houses, or whenever they car
catch them, and either cowhide, duck, or Ia
and feather them"
Such samples of 'nice young men" woult
catch it in this city. They would hardly b
let off with ducking, cowhiding, or tar
ring and feathering.-Pic.
