LOVE rHE WOMEN.

her at once; so all his true children take
to calico as readily as an lrisbman to
pick or a duck to water
But take little good advice. Mind
now--the creation Of the mlIIlner s shop

up of dry goods and whaIebone' and has
more cotton than heart in her bosom: TO
love such a specimen is a real calamity;

one of them. Nav, the girl that behaves

the house than in the street, and never
carry their wealth, like snail, on their
backs. They never leave their own work
undone at home TO pry into other people S
business. They do not withhold Inc
sympathies Of our common humanity
from an erring sister, and at the same
time pet the he-devil who caused her 10
err. They do not despise that labor
which is the foundation of wealth and
honor. They respect the aged, and nev'

ANCIENT INHABlTANTs OF NEBRASKA
On the Upper Missouri there exists tract
Of land known by the name Of the Mau-

probaiy the bottom Of an immense lake,
in which perished thousands of animals
having now no representative on earth. 1t
appears that the waters Of this pond were
removed in some convusons of nature,
and the sediment at its bottom became
indurated. The portion of the surface
thus excavated forms valley of go miles
in length, by 80 in breadth. The re-
mains OF animals, which lived and breath
ed long before the advent of man upon
the earth, are here found in such abun.

are preserved in various degrees Of in

and others broken.
Two remarkable species of Rhinoce-
ros, the first ever found in America, were
discovered here, and also sort Of Pan

and likewise lumber of strange animals

"a ROLLING STONE GATHERS No MOSS"
Well, what of thatl Who wants to be
messy old stone, away in some damp
corner OF a pasture, where sunshine and
fresh air never come, for the COWS TO rub
themselves against, for snals and bugs
TO crawl over, and for toads to squat under
among the poisonous weeds? It is far
better 10 be smooth polished stone roll
ling along in the brawling stream of life,
wearing off the rough corners, bringing
out the firm crystalline structure of the
granite, or the veins of the agate or chal-
cedony. 1t is this perpetual chating and
rubbing in the whirling current thst shows
what sort Of grit a man is made OF. and
what use he is good for. The sandstone
and soapstone are ground down to sand
and mud, but the firm rock is selected
for the towering fortress, and the dia'
mond is cut and polished for the mon'
arch's crown.

ExCESSIyELY LITERARY,

How young aday endeavored to a.
dapt her style of conversation to the char
acter of her guests, is narrated in an
Ohio paper. Tom Corwin and Tom Ew-
ing being on a political tour through the
State, stopped at the house oi promi-
nent politician at night, but found no one
at home but young niece who presided
at the supper table. She had never seen
great men, and supposed they were ele-
phantine altogether, and all talking
in great language: 'Mr. Ewing, will
you take condiments in your tea, sir?'
inquired the young lady. Yes, Miss, if
you please replied the quondam Salt
Boiler. Corwin's eyes twinkled. Here
was fun for him. Gratifed at the appa-
rent success OF her first trial al talking 10
big men, the young lady addressed Mr..
Corwin in the same manner. 'Will you
take condiments in your tea, sirF 'Pep-
per and salt, but no mustard was the
prompt reply of the facetious Tom. OF
course nature must out, and Ewing and
the entertainer roared in spite of them
selves. Corwin ESSAY ed to mend the
matter, and was voluble in anecdote,
wit, and compliment. But the wound
was immedicabe. The young lady. to
this day. declares that Tom Corwin is q
coarse, vulgar, disagreeable man.
