The CoMPlExIoN.-Th best way of
securing good complexion is to lay in
stock of good health and good temper,
and take care to keep up the supply
You car never have good complexion
without clear skin, and you can never
have clear skin while the blood is diseas-
ed; and the blood will always be diseased,
if the temper be diseased. To say, 1the
blood is up" and "the temper is up,' are
convertible terms, commonly used 70 mean
the same thing. If, then, lady would
retain her good looks, she must give '.the
go-by" to the dumps, and mind to be al
ways cheerful, gay and good-natured.-
We know Of no cosmetic equal to the sun
ny smiles. 1t gives the grace of beauty
to the swarthy hue, and makes even frec-
kles and pockmarks passable.

THE ARABIAN STEED.
BY THOMAS HAYNES BAYLY.

Ada was the daughter of a powerful IA.
.jah, who, in the reign Of the emperor Ak
bar, dwelt in a superb palace on the banks
of the Jumna.
The rajah was proud of his beautiful
child, and loved her, as far as his stern
nature was susceptible of such a passion
But the duties of his situation, and his war
like pursuits, called him from her:-and
much ofthe dark-eyed Hindoo's time was
spent in dreary solitude amid the gardens
of her fathers palace. ss NJ.
Beautiful as those gardens were, spark
ling with gilded pavilions, the air cooled
with silver fountains, and rendered frag-
rant by the odours of every rare plant, still
this perpetual solitude wearied her, the So
ciety of her female attendants failed to in
terest her, and as she reclined beneath the
pendant branches of date tree, she felt
more like prisoner in cage, than a
princess in the pleasure-garden of her
palace.
She had dismissed her attendant, and
lay thoughtfully leaning her head upon her
hand, when a rusting amid the branches
of an orange tree, attracted her attention,
and she started to her feet in an instant,
with an exclamation of alarm and surprise,
as she distinctly saw among the clustering
leaves and blossoms, the bright eyes and
dark glowing features of man.
The branches hastily parted, and a
young Mahomedan rushing forward, knelt
before her.
"Who art thou?" she exclaimed; ''mer-
cy, mercy, am defenceless; spare me!'
"Mercyr' replied the Moor; ''ts who
must crave mercy of you-l am Defence

your power"
"What brought you here!" she replied.
"Know you not the danger?"

heed it for an instant now"
t "Often what mean you?"
"Daily at this hour, the hour of your
solitary ramble, entered the garden, daily
have lurked behind the shrubs that sur
round your favorite bower-daily have
gazed on unseen."

who never injured human being?'

"Death to whom, then?"

"Why--what brought you here?"

the first time; need | say why, daily, after
had once beheld you, came again?,'
.Oh, if you are seen," cried Ada, 'snoth-
ing can save you from my fathers rage;
y.S YOU know the barrier, the awful, impassi-
ble barrier that divides your race from
mine: madman, begone!"
The young Moor, whose face and form
were such as might have been chosen by
q q sculptor who wished to representa- the per-
lection of eastern beauty, spoke not, NOV
ed not; he continued kneeling before the
agitated girl, while his dark brilliant eyes
fxed upon her colntenance, seemed to
read its varying expression, that memory
might have a store Of sweet thoughts to
live upon, when the reality should no
longer stand before him.
Ada could not bear the earnest gaze OIL
those fond eyes; where was her anger, herl

"but please to remember, my hearers, that

he$Motherless,


God help and shield the motherless,
The stricken, bleeding dove
For whom there gushes no rich font
Of fdeep and deathless love!
The saddest title grief confers-
For who so lone as they,
Upon whose path mothers love
Sheds not its holy ray!
No gentle form above them bends
To soothe the couch of pain
No voice so fond as hers, essays
TO calm the feverish brain.
o, other tongues may whisper love,
In accents soft and mild;
But none on earth so pure as that
A mother bears her child!
Judge kindly of the motherless--
A weary lot is theirs;
And oft the heart the gayest seems,
A load of sorrow bears.
No faithful voice directs their steps,
And bids them onward press,
"And if they gang a kennin' wrang,"
God help the motherless!
And when the sinful and the frail,
The tempted and the tried,
Unspotted one! shall cross thy path,
0, spurn them not aside.
Thou knowest not what thou hadst been
With trials even less
And when thy lips would vent reproach,
Think, they aoere motherless!
A blessing on the motherless,
Where'er they dwell on earth,
Within the home of childhood,
Or at the strangers hearth!
Blue be the sky above their heads,
And bright the sun within,
o, God, protect the motherless,
And keep them free from sin!

Honesty and Dishonesty. A few months ago
John NJ. spear became bail for prisoner in the
Municipal Court in this city. The prisoner did
not appear at the time appointed ard Mr. Spear
delaulted. Al subsequent term OF the said
Court, it was decided that the bail, amounting 10
one hundred sna fifty dollars. must be paid, but
by some mistake only one hundred dollars was
claimed in the execution issued. Mr.. Spear inn
mediately corrected the mistake. So exceeding
y pleased was Mr. Parker, the prosecuting At
torney, when he heard of the error and its prompt
CORE ction, that be said he would relieve The
payment Of the $50 il he were able, remarking
at the same time, that he thought if the Judge,
who was then in Salem, knew the circumstances
he would not exact the balance ofthe bail. Mr.
Parker Immediately communicated the facts to the
Judge, and. suffice it TO say, the $50 dollars was
not required. and Mr Spear was left to pay only
the 500. He informs US that this is the first
instance where he has had to pay bail among
the many he has been security for. Now for
the other side.
A few days ago young man was confined in
Leverett Street Jail for reasons which we will
briefly relate. He had been employed by one OF
the Railroad corporations. They owed him a
sum OF money. He went to the treasurer and
solicited his pay. The amount due was handed
him, which he put in his pocket without count
ing l., and went home. He there examined his
money and discovered that he had been overpaid.
He mentioned the circumstance to an acquaint-
ance who advised him 'sto keep the money and
cay nothing about it, He did So The next
morning the error was discovered by the treasurer
and the young man was arrested and imprisoned.
Misguided youth he followed bad advice, aud
perhaps this one false step has ruined him forever
These two facts require no comment other than
the expression of hope that the benevolent men
OF Boston and elsewhere, will not allow MIR.
Spear to lose the one hundred dollars which his
benevoence caused him to forfeit.

BUTTER MAKING.

Mr.. Hawley of Binghampton, who has been
for many years engaged in the purchase and
shipping Of butter for foreign markets, saws, in
speaking of the Orange County butter, which
owes its celebrity mainly TO the manufacture -
"Ihe perfect neatness and cleanliness of every
thing about the dairy; the churning OF milk in.

and quantity OF the salt are the principal peculi.

INTERESTING FAcrs RESPECTING CHoL.
ERA. During late discussion OF the Cholera
question by the Ohio Medical Society, DR.. Mus.
sey, name well known and respected in New
England, deprecated the prevailing notion that il
is either less mild in its character, or that physi.
clans have acquired more skill in treating it,
He regards it as the same mysterious, deadly
disease, that it was when it first visited this con-
tnent, and says but little progress has been made
in its treatment since 1921, when was published
the treatise Of DR.. Orten, an English physician at
Malras. With reference to the use of brandy.
as prophyIdctse, DR. Mussey makes the follow.
ing remarks:
'sUpon boats on the river, the increase Of bran.
dy drinking, consequent upon the approach Of
the cholera, has been frightul, and the mortal.
ity on board those vessels has been terrible and
unprecedented. One boat lost 43, another AZ.
and third SO of its passengers and crew, Spirit
Is not prophylactic in any case. To the tenn.
perate. it is an active, exciting cause To
the drinker, il is not advisable to drop OF the use
suddenly; but the quantity should be diminished
rather than increased.

$4,000 inhabitants, 800 were members of the
temperance societies, OF whom only two died.
With these facts in view, who can doubt the dan
ger OF spirit drinking"
With reference to the spread of Cholera, DR..
Mussey said be could not help believing that the
disease may be propsgated by some emanaions
from one person to another That it has an at
mospherc movement, he thought there could be
no doubt.
