ADVICE TO MAIDENS.
ny N. N. NOAH


That classical song which COM
mences with 20, take your time, Miss
Lucy" has proved very disastrous to
Young ladies who have been control
led by it. Every thing is done in a
hurry in this world, therefore get
married as quickly as possible. Hus-
bands are like birds, if you don't bring
them down at once they are off.
Love is an idea; beef is a reality
The idea you can get along without;
The beef you must have. DO not then
allow any refined sentimcntalism to
interfere with what judicious and cal
culating parents call an advantageous
IS ttlcment.
Young girls will have twinges ofihc
heart-strings, we know, but these are
like other complaints incidental to
youth, they so away suddenly without
any bad effects. Dyspepsia often pro-
duces melancholy which is attributed
to disappointed affection, but bran
bread and apple sauce will speedily
remove this complaint.
Some girls have imaginations so ter
der that they believe themselves in
love with every man who says a civil
word to them. These unfortunate
creatures should take the shower bath
every morning, and take frequent ex-
,crcisc on horseback.
Romance should be confined 10
circulating libraries and boarding
schools; it is well enough in these
places, but out of them it is sadly out
of the way. 1t is very apt to take
bread and butter out of ones mouth,
and 1t is curious fact in sphysic,"
that though love causes the heart ia
swell, it never fills an empty stomoch.
! If man falls in love with you, in
stead OF asccrtaining the color of his
eyes, find out the length Of his
purse; instead of asking his age. get =
list of his effects. If these make a
goodly appearance, never mind his looks
but conclude the bargain at once
You will learn to love him when you
feel the necessity Of such passion
In the mean time, endure him.
There used to be many Alonzocs
ard Mclissas in the world, and there
was much misery in consequence
Nowadays, people are more sensible.
They have an eye to the real; they
are matter Of fact, and see more sub
stantial comfort in well furnished
home than dozen sonncts, more beau
ty in bountiiully supplied table than "a
score of love letters. All this bctravs
a good deal Of sound sense, which
maidens would do well to profit by.

FAULTS ON BOTH SIDES.
BY Lamar RICHARDSON.

'Faults on both sidcs," is verdict
delivered sixty million times in every
second from the jury-box ofsocicty.
So say they, too in your case, 1.y ddie
Erie-aven this and no more What
note takes mankind of tragedies, if they
happen to be real
Lyddic Eric's sacrifices commenced
in childhood. They were all joyfully
ma lie for brothcr-her fellow orphan
and sole comprehension, as long
as she could remember, she idolizcj ;
and who, even in those giddy boyish
days, when the heart is mostly happy
and generous, was, ungrateful, selfish,
and tyranical. She was bright-minded
as well as affcctionate, and though two
years younger than himself, learned
Latin it was said, for the delight of do
his exercises forhim, when he happen
cl to bcidlc or in scrape. With the
management that belongs to maturer
years, she cxtricated him from all diff
culties, things which he had a wonder
fil faculty to get cntangled; gave him
the best of advice, which he did not
take, and the prcttiest watches and
purses with gold coins in them, which
he did set every bit Of his bad con-
duct right with his inquisitive frieuds,
and, as he said. sail straight" without
any crooked dealing at all.
She was the star of his life, re-
decming spirit, a slccpless angel, snatch
ing him from all harm But go wrong
he would. However, when minor sac
riices were at an end, larger ones were
ready. The debts he had contracted
she provided for, out of her scanty por-
tion-a third of what his had been ;
and when he returned to her in wild
passion, the money spent, and the debts
not paid, she wept indeed for his sake,
piteously, but gave the full sum again,
without sigh for her own name.
A beggar, with character while yet
so young, not entirely unblotted, his
safety required sacrifices, costIier far
than gold. Tears aud sleepless nights
would not purify and save him but
though energy and well directed inHu-
ence might, and with a head like sage
man, but with an angels heart, she de-
voted herself to the task. Warm al
lection and firm soul, did the work Of
sagacity, and experience approved
what the mere girl suggested. The
enterprise BY which her brother was TO
be advanced to independence, would
need but part--not all-of herremain-
lagstore of money. It was to exercise
tor her own support, her skill in Ian
g1eges and in music, if necessary !. it

LANCASTER SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2

yes, one thing morc-.why so easy to
hold her tongue Why was it impos-
sible!
And weeks after. when the brother
was voyaging through the deep water,
in a hideous felon ship, and Lyddie
Erie's grave was being turfed and bor-
dcred with spring violets, those that
decorated her green dwelling, and
who, it was thought, knew her well,
aud her too, could not help preach
ing over it the old world sermon, the
solemnity which familiarity makes ri
diculous.
"Bcautiiul she was, never proud
but always kind TO the poor; but she
might have spoken up for her brother
in the time of need. He was wild, but
devoted to his sister: Both had griev.
Gus troubles, and both were to blame.

for the sight made hiw dizzy. and mr.
ged on his horse. But now the animal
refused to stir. With his forc-legs
planted firmly before it, its nostrils dis.
tended, and its ears pressed back, it
seemed under the influence of panic.
and its head only obeycd the raised
bridle--the animal would not bulge.
The thick crowdiug clouds, at that mo-
ment came over the moon again, and
the drifting snow began to fly across
the hills.
Gerald stuck his spurs 10 the horse.
The animal slightly swerycd, and the
rider by sudden movement, only pre-
vented them from plunging down the
precipice. The ledge here was not
two feet wide.
The horse became rcsti C, and at.
tempted to turn. Maddcned by thi.
new danger, Gerald spurrcd the animal
again. The horse reared, and when
the startled rider, bending forward
slackencd the bride, the animal again
attempted to turn. Its hind feet slipped
on the icy path, and lis launches seem
ed sinking but suddenly rcgaining
its footing, the young man tried to urge
it on by gentle means; but the terrified
horse reared more violently ever
than before. A desperate blow be
tween the ears from the riders heavy
whip, alone prevented the animal from
falling over the cliff but its panic in
creased, and Gerald, as the last chance
for his life, now attempted to throw
himself from the saddle. The horse
swervcd suddenly and lost his footing
the rider fell forward, and grasping tn,
ice and snow. saved himself from fall
ing over the cliff. Not so the horse
for moment or two, it clung with it
forc-fcet to the ledge, paved wild to re
gain a footing, and rolled down the
prccipice.

Hurry Us. DEsrArcH.-No two
things differ more than hurry and
dcspafch. Hurry is the mark Of n
weak mind, despatch of strong one.
A weak man 10 Office, like a squirrel in
a cage, is laboring ctornaIly, but to no
purpose-and is in constant motion
without getting on a jot; like a turn
stilc, he is in every body's way, but
stops nobody; he talks a great deal.

are hot; or should one OF them be hot
with that he only burns his fingers.

A FAT LADY AT SEA.-Wc sec the
following laughable account of the
trials and tribulations Of fat lady al
sea going the rounds. It's credited to
the New Mirror, the editor Of which
says that il is an amusing triile, and he,
therefore, lets il pass. The account is
given in the lady's own words:
sour cabin has two boxes in il,
called berths, though ccifins would be
nearer the thing, for you think more OF
your latter end at sea Il great deal
One OF these is situate over the other
like two shelves, and these together
make what they call n statc-room,-
What would you think of having no
drcssing.room nor nothingl-but you
shall hear all. My berth is the upper
most one, and | have 10 climb up TO it,
putting one foot on the lower one, and
the other away out on the wash-stand,
which is great stretch, and make II
very straiping-then ] lift one knee
on the berth, and roll into it sideways.
This is very inconvcnient to- woman
of my size, and very dangerous. Last
night put my foot on Mrs. Browns
face, as she laid asleep close at the
edge Of the lower one, and nearly put
out her eye; and ! have nearly torn
the skin ofi'my KEGS, and then | have a
large black spot where | have been
burnt, and my head is swcllcd. To
dismount is another feat Of horscman-
ship, only fit for sailor. You can't
sit up, for the floor overhead; so you
have to turn round and roll your legs
out first, and then hold on till you
touch bottom somewhere, and then let
yourself down upright. 1t is dreadful
work, and not very decent for a deli.
cate female, if the steward happens to
come in when you are in the act Of this
way. | don't know which is the
hardest, to get in or out of berth
both arc the most difficult things in the
world, and shall be glad when am
done whit. am obliged to dress in
bed before leave it, and nobody who
hasn't tried to put on their clothes ly-
ing down can possibly tell what a
task it is. Lacing stays behind your
back, and you on your face nearly
smothered with the bcdclothes, and
feeling for the cyclct-hole with one
hand and trying to put the tag in with
the other, while you are rolling about
from SIDE, to side. is no laughing matter.
Yesterday fastcnded on the pillow
to my hustle by mistake in the hurry.
and never knew it till the people
laughed. and said the sea agreed with
me, | had grown so fat. But putting
on stockings is the worst, for there
aint room 70 stoop forward; so you
have to bring your fool to you, and
stretching out on your back, lift up
your leg till you can reach it and then
drag it on. Corpulent people can't
always do this so easy, | can tell you.
You will pity me if you could conceive;
but you can't-no, nobody but wo-
