AVERY SLIGHT D1FFERENcE.-How one
of our gay young brokers was recently
furnished with new wrinkle, is told by
his friends on the street, as thus:
Fellow come. riding fair-enough look
ing horse, to the front of the office at which
Joseph does the needful trimming for
his fellow citizens, and hollooed:
"Say, understand you want to buy a
hoss here, at this shop!"
Banker Termed against the side of the
door, halfopened his eyes, shut 'em again,
gazed sleepily at the bipedal and then at
the quadrupedal animal; and at lass
"How much 90
GA hundred and fifty dollars" was the
reply.
"Can't give it, my friend. You're a
good fellow, I don't doubt, but can't give
that price. Some judge of horse-fesh,
myself!"
"Well, say what you soM give!' ex-
claimed the horse-merchant; want to
SELL"
"Tell what!'' dravled Joe; very sleepi-
ly;" /" Tell what-I'll give you tacenty. .tivt
dollars for that horse"
"He's wuth more," said the Jockey,
tossing his leg over the saddle and sliding
slowly to the ground; ''but Inever soos the
man to let a hundred and Twenty-Five dollar.

Banker took the horse and has him yet,
having utterly failed in dozen of efforts
to give hina aaoay. His last trial was to be-
stow him on Prof Snow, Veterinarian, tc
be used as a living illustation of all the
diseases to which the horse is subject in
this climate. But the professor steadily
objects, on the ground that several of the
beasts ailments may possibly be contag-
ious.

Times Changes.

The lapse of fifty years has worked a
wonderful change between Great Britain
and the family of the Bonarartes. About
half a century ago, the British. Govern
mentutterly refused toreeognize Napoleon
I, as invested with imperial rank-waged
war against him as usurper and person
dangerous to the well being of Europe,
and never desisted from hostilities till his
power was completely crushed. Nowmark
the change that time has wrought. Some
six weeks ago, at an entertainment given
in London by Count Walewski, the French
Ambassador, the Queen of Great Britain
made the circuit of the rooms leaning on
the arm of the Count, and, ON retiring,
saluted the Countess on the cheek. Count.
Walewski is anillegitimate son of the great
Napoleon by British Countess!

those who have neglected, for the sake of
money making, the true grace and glory
of life
Just as we believe that improvement OF
tools, machines, and working arrange
ments, will add to that leisure which the
worker is enabled to employ in cultivating
this true grace and glory, SO do we expect
that better plans.and maxims of business
will by and by allow the middle classes
to follow their industrial pursuits, with the
same results. The unsatisfactory char
acter of a life wholly given to the materi-
alities in which they deal must be seen and
acknowledged. They will find, that what
they follow as the substance, is apt to
prove but the shadow, while that, they
used to neglect as the shadow, is the
true substance. Already, we are told, the
progress of a. conviction to this effect is
beginning to be observed in some of our
principal seats of industry. Streaks ,of
rational, graceful, philanthropically So
cial life are beginning to checker the one
jincessant round of business cares and du-
ties. We begin to.fnd men getting above
considering things merely by their pros
pect of paying;a mean word, which should
be banished from all decent society,"
This is a great reform, and we sincerely
trust will go on till one shall have the face
to sport Mamfnon's maxims as other than
the partial and temporary truths, which
they are, but all will take pride in pro
noting by their precept and example the
true grace and glory of life.
1t would go some way to advance thi,
great cause, could we convince all tha
life is thing capable of being made as
beautiful as we have asserted. We fee
it were equally out of place and needless
for us to use arguments on the subject
We merely would wish those who com.
within our influence to observe what {
work Man is, in his powers and suscepti.
bilities, and how many fine things sur
round and stand in relation to him! Tc
employ his powers on these things, so as
to bring their benefits to bear upon hi
susceptibilities, is, in word, the secular
destiny Of man. If walking humbly Will
the Giver, and not forgetful of an ultimate
and higher destiny he could fulfil thi
perfectly, he would come as near to hap
piness as being of indefinite desires
ever can. Seeing what admirable thing:
these powers and susceptibilities are, and
what a beautiful relation it is in which
they stand to exterternal things, how sac
to see so many men misusing them, max
ing life, consequently, mere series o
biunders, alternating with sufferings, til
the designs of creative Providence itsel
come to be called in question! Not ont
of us but might do better with this fn'
thing called life, if we only believed i
possible, and were to make resolut
endeavor.

EXCELLENCE OF LABOR.
BY NJ. S. B. sHINpLER.

Oh laborcr bending DER thy toll,
With earnest heart and moistened brow
Thy work is holy; life's turmoil
Is full Of meaning, even now.
Grieve not that tits thy fate to earn
BY labor hard thy daily bread;
All, when will man thy lesson learn,
On natures every page outspread-
That all must labor, all must bow
To Heavens stern, yet wise decree,
And earn each joy with moistened brow,
For idleness is misery.
Say, is the rich man happy, who,
Though gratifying every sense,
To natures holest law untrue,
Spends all his life in incidence;
Go, gaze on his care worn face,
And catch his eye so cold and dim;
Each discontented feature there,
And tell me if you envy him!
Nol no. theJ ohiy S"u DS oASSe
Who faithfully, while here they stay,
Fulfilling Heavens high hehest,
Toll patiently from day to day.
Then labor on, thou child of toll!
Work with thy hands-thy head-thy heart
Mans glorious destiny fulfil,
Its purest zcst to life impart.
And when each evening hour shall come,
Oh! with what unalloyed delight
Mayest thou enjoy thy peaceful home,
And soundly sleep the livelong night.
Yes, honest labor gives a rest
What neither wealth nor power can give
The conscience pure, the quiet breast,
Tired natures best restorative.
All to him who understands
And does the work he finds to do;
But woe to those who fold their hands
To God and to themselves untrue!

MIR. Willis ON Ladies' Shirt Collars.

In the Home Journal, of the last week.
Mr.. Willis discourses as follows:
Well-we had always thought gentle.
mems shirt bosoms 10 be a fascinatln
monopoly of Establishment, which it was
a wonder the ladies did not dispute with
us. The shield of soptless linen on the
breast, with the studs of turquiss and an
affectionate button and button hole at the
roud arch of the neck and these tipped
with shirt collar, elastic in its starch,
which sustained the head like carcesing
vase there was becomingness in this
becomingness abstract, chronic, intrin-
sic, undiminishable by change of fashion
or age in the wearer-which it was mir
aculous should continue from year to year
as an enchantment of male irrestlbleness.
BUTT has gone over! Broadway beholds,
at present, shirt bosoms with peticoat con
tinuations and shirt collars looking up
wards to curls and bonnets. The dress
of colored silk, parts at the waist, and
lays off low aronnd the shoulder to the
back, presenting the snowy but rounded
and glittering in the sun--a conspicuous
ness of display by the way, as to quantity
of linen, with which gentlemen can only
compete by going without their waistcoats.
But, how charmingly ladies wear (not
our breeches, but our shirt, after all!
How much more neatly they button them,
and how much more ftly to the proper
tions of head and neck are adapted the
small and modest lilycups of collars
Really, those pearly edges Of Rosy cheeks
rise away from the collar much more
gracefully than our bearded jaw bones
and chimes Of peltry Suppose We turr
it over to women as her charming mon.
opoly. Male magnanimity, which has
been found to be unequal to the sharing
with woman the 'sforked wear above
mentioned, might redeem itself by giving
up the shirt collar to her lovelier chin al
together. While nothing could well be
more unstatuesque, and artistically in
harmonious than collar with a beard
nothing could be more embellishing than {
collar to throat and chin without one
It most have been because we were shay
ed to look like women, that this article O.
dress, SO becoming only to effeminate bare
ness of the face, could have been obsti
nately worn by US.

MONEY, like beauty, is greatly disparag-
ed and eagerly sought, while poverty is
highly praised and carefully avoided. 1t
is like case which often happens in society
that OF eulogizing people whom we
wouldn't associate with, and sneering at
others whom we don't care to "eut."

's COMING EVENTS CYST THEIR SHADOW

COMING EVENTS CYST THEIR SHADOWS
BEFORE. "A little girl, about ten years
old daughter of Mr.. Oberland, resident
of the Eighth Ward, as the clock was
striking l2 on Saturday noon, exclaimed
mournfully to her mother, tomorrow at
this hour I shall be in Heaven There
There was something SO sad and plaintive
in the tone in which she uttered this, that
in spite of the parent not being of su-
persticious nature, it made an impression
upon her mind, which she found it impos-
sible to throw off, At dinner she told her
husband of the circumstance, and he en-
deavored to rally the child, but with a
sweet and sad smile in which, however,
no fears was manifested at the coming
prospect, she repeated her conviction OF
her speedy dissolution. 1t was now the
fathers turn to feel depression of spir-
its, which overshadowed him the whole
day, so much SO, that in the evening
meeting officer Young, watchman of that
Ward, he told him of the child's singular
prognostication.
Up to this time, the little girl had en-
joyed exceedingly good health, but du
ring the night the parents were aroused
by her complaining bitterly of pains in
her back and head. As early as possible
a physician was called in, who pronounc-
ed her in high state of bilious fever.
Notwithstanding all that human aid could
effect, she expired at noon. Her fatal
prophecy was fulfilled.-Csn Enq.

NAPoLEoN's RESPECT FOR THE APOSTLES
Napoleon having entered one of the cities
of Italy, the churchwardens recommended
to him the reliques of their church. "sire,
will you deign TO take our apostles under
your protection ?" "Your Apostles: are
they Of wood ?' "No, Sire" "Of what
are they, theH?, "Ofsilver, Sire, of solid
silver. Solid silver !" replied Napoleon,
quickly; eyes, ! shall help them to fulfil
their mission; it has been ordained that
they should go throughout the world, and
they shall" Having said SO, the Emper-
or sent twelve Apostles to the mint at

American Character.

Fredrika Bremen, in her Homes OF the
New World" says:
The ideal of the man of America seems
to me to be, purity of intention, decision in
will, energyin action, simplicity and gentle
nessin manner and demcanor. Hence it is
that there is something tender and chival-
ric in his behavior to woman which is in.
fnitely becoming to him. In every woman
he respects his own mother.
The American ideal of happiness seems
to me to be, marriage and home, combined
with public activity. To have wife, his
own house and home, his own piece Of land
to take care of these, and to beautify them
at the same time doing some good to the
State or to the city-this seems to ME to be
the object of human lif. with most men; a
journey to Europe to see perfected cities,
and ruins, belonging to it as desirable
episode.
Of the American home l have seen
enough and heard enough for me to be able
to say that the women have, in general,
all the rule there which they wish to have.
Woman is the centre and the lawgiyer in
the homes of the New World, and the
American man loves that it should be so
He wishes that his wife should have hel
own will at home, and he loves TO obey it
In proof of this, I have heard the words
of a young man quoted" l hope tina
my wife will hayeher own will in the hous,
. and if she has not, L II make her have it!'
I must however say, that in the happy
, homes in which lived, I saw the wifi,
, equally careful to guide herself by th'
, wishes of her husband as he was to in
dulge her. Affection and sound reason
make all things equal.
