GIRLS DO YOU HEAR THAr!-A Contemporary

Hear hint
LADIES AT WoRK.-Young ladies miss a
figure when they blush and make dozen
apologies TO their male acquaintance, who
happen to find them at the tub with check
apron on, and sleeves up. Goblet fell in
love with his wife when in this interesting
condition: and no woman was Of more service
to man. Real men-men of sterling principle
ARE always pleased to see their female ac-
quaintances at work. Then never blush, new.
er apologize, if found 10 your home-spnn at
tie, stirring coffee, washing the hearth, or
ringing the clothes. 1t should be your pride
and glory to labor, for industrious habits ar
certainly the best recommendation you can
bring to worthy young men who are seeking
wives. Those who would sheer at these hab-
its, you may depend upon it, will make poor
companions, for they are miserable fools and
consummate blockheads.

WEALTH NOT HAPPlNEEs.-Go into the
country behold the farmer at his plough. ev-
cry thing is snug and comfortable around him.
He has not wealth, and is consequently free
from its perplexities; he is not poor and is con-
sequently independent. His family thrive a.
round him, and blessed with health and con-
tentment he enjoys as great share Of happi-
ness as ever falls to the lot of mortals. Great
wealth is too often useless or misdirscted-ex-
IRENE poverty is fatal to the most laudsble Of.
forts. A state Of independent competence,
between the two is the most likely to preserve
our principles untarnished-to keep our h..
man sympathies refreshed, and to render US
truly happy.

JEwETT's IMPROVED PATENT
CAREY PLOUGH

CAREY PLOU G. III !.
THE subscribers have the pleasure of announ-
cling to their numerous friends and customers, that
they have now on hand large supply of the above
ploughs Of this years manufacture, which, owing to
the change of times we are enabedto offer at great
ly reduced prices.
From the liberal encouragement extended to US
last year by the sale of over 1000 of these ploughs
and the universal satisfaction they gave, we were
induced to spair pains in selecting the very best
Of materials, and employing the best mechanical
skill in their construction. The consequence has
been that we have produced results that are highly
satisfactory to ourselves, and must be 10 those who
purchase of US. We have now plough which is
so well adapted to our SOIL that it sets all COMPETE
ton at defiance. For the information of thouse I'M
acquainted with its construction, we will offer this
brief explanation: The whole surface of the plough
is ground smooth. The moud-board is made of
wrought iron. The shear of steel, (Which is at
tached to the moul-board by three small bolts) SO
that it is easily taken off by means of the clevispin,
to be repaired or replaced by new one. The shape
of the mould-board is constructed on strictly scen-
tfc principles that it scours perfectly bright in
the most loose and loamy SOIL which is in truth the
great dissderatum in this section of the country; as
it thereby enables team to accomplish at least one.
third more work in day, with far greater case, and
in much better manner, than with one that will
not scour, This every practical man knows With
in the part year have received the warmest testi
monials in regard to them from hundreds Of our
practical men who have them in use; and at the st.
Louis County Agricultural society's Fair, held in
October last, we were on trial and awarded the pre-
MUM. Also diploma at the Fair of the Mechan-
les Institute held in this city in November last. But
the best evidence Of their superiority to all others
now in use. is the fact that no farmer who has used
them will, for any consideration, make nse of any
other. We have reduced the price at retail for cash
in hand to SO rs for the two horse ploughs, wiz
iron strap forthe BEAM and 81 rs for the one hcrs
ploughs. A liberal discount made to those wi o
purchase by the dozen. BRIDGE Il HALE,

LIGHT WoRps.-This is often said o~be
wcrld of cold neglect and scorn-and so it is.
But. reader, while you have called il so, have
you ever thought that you are one Of such a
world that from your mouth are often heard
words so cold, unkind, that like the torpedo,
they bennmb all within their reach? Perhaps
you did not mean to wound the feelings of
friend, or make this life TO him more lonely.
Then you should have withheld that last
light word.
ITS over soon, the cause: net soon
The sad effects pass By"
Have you never seen gay, lively spirit,
and light heart turned to sadness and deem
melancholy! 1t might have been but the ef.
feet Of light word. Have you seen the tear
OF the mouIner starting afresh! 1t was a light
word that so windy recalled the past. Have
you never seen the poor of this world made TO
feel more keenly than overland heaven
knaws il is sharp enough at any ,ime--the
sense of their des.itu,ion! 1t was only a
light word. Be mindful, then;
"Yet little know what misery
From idle words may spring."
Yet what are idle words! We watch The
lips of the wise and ignorant, of the thought.
fnl and glddy, and we hear the audible ex.
presslons OF careless hearts, but certainly these
cannot be light words. for all have their ef.
fec's, deep, serious, and lasting. Light
words! the very name is mockery-a burden
10 the heart; for however lightly they fall from
s;essip, heavily, but too heavily do thew rest
il''eS the spirit.

A R1or At JrRusALEM.-Prlvate letters
from Beyrout of the Sd ult., says late NUM-
Der Of the London News, state that M. de
Lentivy, the newly appointed French Consul
at Jerusalem, having imprudently hoisted the
,n.colored flag at the consulate on the 9th
July, in commemora,lon of the revolution in
1880, the people became Infatuated at the pro-
ceeding hitherto without example in holy
city of the Moslems. and threatened if the Of
fensive emblem was not instantly taken down,
to sound the signat Of the ghuggy,' or exter-
mina,ion Of the infdels. M. de Lentivy refu-
sed to comply with this injunction, the mob
attacked the consulate, shots were exchanged,
and several persons wounded, and the tumu't
only ceased when the flag was removed
Reschid Pasha has given full satisfaction for
the i'll treatment suffered by DR.. MCGOWAN,
from Turkish officer. The latter was to be
publickly degraded, and his man bastinadoed,
as demanded by the British consul !; but owing
to tire excitement occasioned by the affair Of
the French flag, Mr.. Young had deemed it ex-
pedient to defer the infection of the penalty for
some days.

The GotDES MARRlAeE.-There is many
gem of purest ray serene in The Neighbours
by Frederika Bremen. Take this one as an
examp|e-and do buy the book:
IF you wish 10 learn the true value of mar.
rage, if you wish TO see what this union NAV
be for two human hearts for life, then observe
not the welded ones in their honey moon, nor
by the cradle of their first child nor at time
when novelty and hope yet throw morning
glory over the young and newborn world Of
home: but survey them rather in the remote
years of manhood, when they conquered many
an error and many temptation, in order to be-
come only the more united to each, when la
oors and cares as theirs, when, under the bur
den of the day, as well as in hours of repose,
they support one another, and find that they
are sufficient for each other. Or, survey them
still farther in life; see them arrive at that pe-
Rod when the world, with all its changes and
aglta'lons, rolls far away from them because
ever DINNER to them; when their house is
still, when they are solitary, but yet stand
there hand in hand, and each reads in the 9TH
er's eyes only love; when they with the same
memories, and the same hopes, stand on the
boundaries of another life into which they are
prepared TO enter; Of all the desires of this be-
ing retained only the one, that they may die on
the same day-yes, then behold them!'
A MOTHERS PREcePrs.-Give US such bows
as have been blessed with the instructions Of
plous mother. This is qualification for
which no substitute can be found on earth.-
Never would we despair of the child who has
been used, in his infancy, to hear the precepts
OF heavenly truth inculcated ia the accents Of
maternal love. Truths thus distilled. live
forever 10 the memory. They are the fortress of
the conscience, not impregnable, it is true, but
'ndistructible. They furnish the mind with
chords which, in later life, seldom fail to vi
o or to the touch Of faithful expostulation.--
Iney are as inextinguishable sparks, which
oelng seemingly smothered under heap of
corruption, may be famed by the breath of
irlendly and spiritual counsel, into the nure
and genial fame Of piety.
