TAKING THE WHITE VEIL.-"The
imposing ceremony of taking the white
VEIL was performed last week at the
catholic convent about three miles be-
low the city. A very large number
of ladies and gentleman were present,
and the proceedings from first to last
were of most solemn and interesting
nature. The noviciates, three in num-
Der, were girls Of great beauty, and a.
bout eighteen TO twenty years OF age.
They were robed precisely as if for the
bridal, with long sweeping, airy white
dresses and splendid wells, and with
orange blossoms and iaponica flowers
decorating their clouding hair. When
the appropriate religious ceremonies
were over, they kneeled at the holy al
Tar, where their rich locks fell victims
to their intent to forsake this outer,
busy, scandalous world, and devote
themselves to the service of Christ;
with whom this taking of the white
veil is emblematic of bridal. Al ter
that they proceeded about the oratory-
kissed all the ladies present-bade them
and the world farewell, and retired to
the solemn shades of the cloister. There
for the space of one year, they will de-
vote themselves TO holy study and d.
vine meditations, and next April they
win either return to the world, or take
the sblack veil. On. o. Ores City.

RESULT OF INDUsTRY---The Goddard estate
was recently sold at auction for ninety-two
thousand dollars, to a citizen of Boston who
commenced business as a tailor, and who for a
long time kept what is called "slop shop
in Ann Street. He was asked after the sale
if he would like part of the amount mentioned
TO remain on bond and mortgage; he answered
in the negative. and in his rough off-hand man.
ner, inquired whether he should give a check
for the ninety-two thousand or the bills. As
in this perilous times the bills were deemed
to be quite as good as the tailor's check. they
were preferred, aud the tailor Immediately pro-
coed TO state Street, presented his check fol
the ninety-two thousand, received ninety two
bills of the denomination OF one thousand each
and trudged back to pay the amount for the
Goddard estate, which is now his property.
Such is sometimes the result of industry.

How RUSSIANS MATE.

According to an ancient Petersburg,
and a still more ancient Russian custom,
all the tradesmen's grown-up cons and
daughters meethere on that day, lhe for
mer to gaze, the latter to be gazet at.
The girls, pranked out in their finest
clothes, are drawnu up in row along the
parterres. Their mothers are stationed
behind them.-They have rummaged
their own, and their grandmether's
wardrobes for every thing snowy and
brilliant, to bedizen their daughter, at
taching il to the hair. ears, and arms,
round neck and waist, to fingers and
feet, wherever there is possibility of
fastening it; and many are, in fact so
covered with gold and jewels, that lit
tie, if any thing, oftheir natural charms
is visible. 1t is related that on one occa-
sion mother, not knowing what more
to add 10 the decoration of her daughter
fastened six dozen gilt teaspoons to a
gold chain, and hung them in double
row about her neck, in addition, to the
pearl necklaces, and that she surround
ed her waist in like manner with three
dozen table spoons and two large punch
ladies' placed crosswise before and be-
hind. The young men, with their ia
Tiers, in long kaltans Of fine cloths,
and their boards smartly curled, walk
along the file of blushing silent dam
sells, who, at the same time, are desi-
rous enough to please; and Cupid, who
is sure to attend, points out to them the
children of the graces, but it is pru-
dent enough, before he speeds his ar
row, to ascertain the genuineness ct
the gold and precious stones. The
young men and the mothers and fathers
here try to get up a conversation, IN
the course of which glances and sentl-
ments are nterchanged. Eight days at
ter their exhibition, a second meeting
takes place, in which the affair is more
pointedly discussed, and. by the aid of
officious relatives and female go-be-
tweens all the prelminaries are settled;
on which the company return home
coupled and mated. Similar customs
at marriges prevail among all the scla-
vonc tribes. But it is extraordinary
that, in gorgeous Petersburgh, where
numerous portion of the public never
fails TO ridicule the practice, such
singularity should maintain it's ground
to he present day. 1t is only Of late
years tina, the custom has gradually de-
cIined; and if, on Whit Monday, many
pretty girls and yong men meet
in the garden, and many a
match is begun there, sill the whole
proceeding is notso formal, stiff and old
fashioned as it was ten years ago.

ADMINISTRATION may judges
of a mans character by the cut of his
coat, his manners and conversation, or
from the condition in which he is
placed. a person well dressed is sup
posed to possess a good mind and a
virtuous heart, while man with
threadbare jacket passes for simple
ton or villain Portland Tribune.
The above is truth. every word it.
At this age ofour "enlightened world"
man isiudged by his clothing. The
man who parades the streets in broad
cloth and silk is looked upon as "per-
feet gentleman" when perhaps his
heart is rotten and depraved to the very
core He talks a great deal about the
manners and customs of the day, wan
ders why sIch an one does not dress
better, for he cannot see how the "more
refined class of community" can soon
descend" so slow" as to associate with
those who wear The homespun clothing.
So it is with the opposite sex-they
too must stock the streets, loaded down
with silks and thousend other ''fine-
ries," or they will not attract attten-
ton. If they should chance to meet
one of their sex dressed in calico, land
who, the way, could discriminate be-
tween plainness and irritation, they are
thrown into spasms. But we find, on
examination, that those who swell so
largely in fine clothing, when robbed
of their ornaments, are mere pufs;
while those VINO are more plain in
their dress, and sociable with all, are
possessed of good heat, clear con-
science, and whole soul.

On the subject Of estimates for the cur,
rent year, the Report says;
"The amount of expenditure for the
current Fiscal yenr, for the service of this
Department, may be stated by way Of es-
innate, in round numbers, at S4, sG0, 900.
This estimate does not include The prob
able expense of the new routes established

which have yet been put in opcration.-
The probable cost Of these routes per year
will he Sl30,000, making the whole cst-
mated expense at S4, 100000.
Any estimate OF the income from postage
during the present year, must of course be
altogether coujectural, founded upon the a
mounts received for the year ending June,
1912.
The amount received the quarter ending
30th September last. is less than the a.

Those who have pertls,j the letters ahove re-

and better state of heBltb than was experienced
previous TO being afflicted with disease; and III
AL OF acute suffering, great relief is obtained
in ew hours, and 4 cure is generally Effected IN
two or three days
In cases of FEVER of every description, and
all bilious affections, it is unnecessary TOR me to
say aught, as / believe the LIFE MEDICINES
are now universally admitted 10 be the mos
speedy and cfectual cure extant Ia all diseases o.
that class.
The LIFE MEDICINES are also most ex
celleu, relief in affections of the Liver and Bowels
as has been proved in hundreds of cases where
patients have come forward and requested that
their experience in iaking them might be publish.
cd for tie benefit of others. In thei, operation IN
such cases, they restore the tone of the Stomach,
strengthen the digestive organs, and Invgorate the
general functions of the whole body, and thus be-
come to both sexes TOR ,hoy are perfectly adapted
TO each) nm invaluable means Of preventing dis.
ease and restoring health.
In affections Of The head, whether accompanied
with pain and giddiHess or marked by the grievous
calamity OF impaired mental energy; in palpita.
ton Of The heart, fdtuienee loss Of appetite and
strength, and the multiplied symptoms OF 1lsordered
digestion, the LIFE MEDICINES will be found
10 posses the most saulary efficacy.
Constitutions relaxed weak, OF decayed, in men
or women, are under the immediate influence Of

affect the weak, the sedontary, aud the delicate
will in short time be succeeded by cheortulness
and every presage of health.
For weakness, deficiency of natural strength
and relaxation Of the vessels, by too frequent in
