WOMAN's lNFLUENCE.-Hisory and OBJ
servalion both testify that wherever woman
Is degraded, deprived Of the educating in
fiuence, either by her own ignorance or tho
policy of rulers, the moral character of the
people is low, and their improvement nearly
impossible. Men are not fitted by nature
to be the teachers Of the young. Even
boys are more usually taught by their pre-
cepIor how 10 detect evil in others than how
to correct it in themselves. Men govern
children, by fear, women rule by love The
difference in this process alone would have
m aln osl transforming effect on many minds.
Fear, like frost, Kills ths buds Of promise
because they arc tender, thus leaving moro
room for the uprising weeds of sin while
love, like the soft sunshine of spring, calls
out the early flowers, and tins overshodows
and stiles the latent seeds of evil in the dis
position. Every good man bears testimony
TO the worth Of femala influence and teach
ing in forming his character.

WmTING.-Among all the productions
and inventions of human wit, none is moro
admirable aud usefulihan writing by means
whereof, a man may copy oui his very
thoughts, utter his mind without opening
his mouth, and signify his pleasure at

help of twenty-lour letters, by various join

words that are atlainable and imaginable
may be framed and the several ways Of
joining, Offering, and transPOsing those let

Jesuit, to 1886, ,736, ,497, ,66I 900 ways

nay The policy Of drawing public rev
enue from the private vices Of drinking and
of gaming, is as pur-blind as it is pernicious /;
for temperate men drink the most, because
they drink the longest and gamester con-
tributes much less to the revenue lban the
industrious, because he is much sooner ru-
ined. When Vaudeville maintained that
private vices were public benefits, he did
not calculate the widely destructive inhu-
ence Of bad example. To affirm that a vi
cious man is only his Orn enemy, is about
as wise as to affirm that viTtHOus man is
only his OtrR friend.

MoDEsTY.--Nolhing is more amiable
than true modesty, and nothing more con-
temtible than that which is false : the one
guards virtue, the other betrays it. True
moGesty is ashamed 10 do anything that is
repugnant to right reason false mOdesiy is
ashamed 10 do anything that is opposite TO
the humor Of those with whom the party
converses. True modesty avoids everything
that is criminal false modesly, everything
that is Questionable the latter is only a
general, undetermined instinct-the lormor
is that instinct limited and circumscribed
by the rules of prudence and religion.

FAREwELLs AND SALUTATioNs.----The
every day phrases OF life bear the impress
of peoples habits and modes of thought.
Thus, the salutatioh Of the ever restless
Yankee is, How do you do 90 that is, act
the maralime Hollander accosts you with,
" How do you sail :" the stately Spaniard
asks, a" How do you stand ?" while the live
ly Frenchman inquiries, " How do you car
ry yourself I"
In Rome, in bidding person goodbye,
they say Adieu " in Naples, d" Fare-you-
well y; in Tuscany, Rivederlu," word
which signifies, " l hope to have the pleasure
of seeing you again y; and in Venicr they
say, "Your servant" We Yankees say
" Goodbye" by being used in the sense oI
passing, going, the phrase thus signifying a
good going, a prosperous passage. ...

The Dignity Of Labor.

II is sometimes amusing TO witness the
airs many shallow Drained mortals assume
because they are arrayed in fine clothes
imagining that it is dress makes the man,
This class of persons look with scorn upon
the Mechanic, in his rough suit, and with
admiration upon a Jeremy Diddler, il his
coat is fine. They wonder what pleasure
the Mechanic can derive from gazing al the
various pieces of machinery on exhibition at
our fairs, and that his senses are so dumb
as not 10 be awed into nothingness at their
foppish dignity. This class look upon the
labor of Merchants Clerk as respectable
for the reason that the Clerk dresses we'll,
and with indignation upon the Mechanic
and Farmer for the simple reason that they
are clad in coarse clothes, and their whole
appearance at once stamps them as the Sons
of Toll.
Many of our young Mechanics and
Farmers we regret 10 say, have a false
pride in regard to the dignity Of labor, and
to them we heartily commend the following
from Hunts Merchants Magazine
"The young man who leaves the farm
field for the merchants desk, or the law
yer's, or the doctors office, thinking 10 dig
nifty or ennoble his toll, makes a sad mistake.
He passes, by that step, from independence
10 yassalage. He barIers a natural for an
artificial pursuit, and he must be the slave
OF the caprice of customers, and the Chi
cano of trade, either TO support himself or
acquire fortune The more artificial a
mans pursuit, the more debasing it is NOR
ally and physically. 10 test it, contrast the
merchants clerk and the plow-boy. The
former may have the most exterior polish /;
but the latter, under his rough outside, pos
sesses the truer stamina. He is the ireer,
fraker, happier nobler man. Would that
young men might judge of the dignity Of la
Dor by lis usefulness and manliness, rather
than by the superficial CLOSES il wears
Therefore we see no mans nobility in his
kid gloves, and toilet adornments, but in
that sinewy arm, whose outlines, Drowned
by the sun, bctokcn hardy, honest tOiler,
under whose farmers or mechanics vest
the truest heart may beat"
