PRETTY WOMEN AND PoLITENEss.

A talented lady who writes for the papers,
speaks thus Of city railway cars : The seats
of the car were all occupied-crowded--yet
the conductor stopped for me. Not wishing
to disturb those who were seated, was ln-
tending to stand, when gentleman at the
far end arose and insisted upon me taking his
seat. Being very tired thanked him and
obeyed. Presently lady much younger and
much prettier and much better dressed than
myself, entered the car. No less than four
gentlemen arose instantly, offering her seat
She smiled sweetly and unaiiectedly, and
thanking the gentleman who urged the near
est seat to her, she seated herself with pecu-
liar grace of manner. She had one OF those
faces Raphael was always painting-touch-
ingly sweet and expressive. \ little after
this young beauty had taken her seat, poor
woman looking very thin and pale, with that
care-worn, haggard look that poverty and sor-
row, and hard labor always gave came in.-
She might have been one Of those poor seam
stresses who work like slaves, and starve for
their labor. She was meanly and thinly clad
and seemed weak and exhausted. She had
evidently. no sixpence to throw away ant
came into the car not to stand, but rest Will,
she was helped on her journey While sh'
was meekly standing for the moment none o
the gentemen() offering to rise, Raphael]
angel, with sweet, reproving eyes, looked ol
those who had so ofliciously offered her seat
and seeing none of them attempt to move
and Just as myself was rising to give tn
poor old lady "a seat, she arose and insiste
upon the woman taking her seat. 1t was al
the work of but a moment; and the look c
grateful surprise the old woman gave hei
and the glance Of sweet pity the beautiful gii
bestowed on the woman as she yielded he
seat. and evident CONSERVATION Of the broad
cloth individuals, who were maniiesty put t
shame-all were to me irresistaby interesting
and instructive. One of these same broad
cloth wearers, apparently overpowered wit
confusion, got up and left the car, and Ra
phaels angel took his vacant seat.

"a Boy WITH HoRxs."-The Caddo (La.)
Gazette is informed that there is negro BOY
in that neighborhood, about eighteen months
old, who, about a month and half since had
a pair of horns to make their appearance on
the front part of the head, precisely IN ap-
pearance like those of young deer; they are
now about one and half month old and are
fnll six inches long, well covered with VeiVet'
and on one of them two spikes making thelr
appearance, and are still growing remarkably
fast. When the foregoing is sifted, we ap-
prehend the only horns in the case will be
found to have been in the neighborhood OF
the mouth of the informant Of the Gazette.

A SNAKE IN HEN's EGG.-There are at
least some things in heaven and cath that
have scarcely been dreamed OF in mans phil
osophy. and are certainly beyond mis- capaci-
ty satisfactorily to account for We have an
instance in point. A hens egg was shown
to us, at Luray few days ago, which has the
perfect representation of snake raised on
the shell, in full coil, on the smaller end. No
artist could have produced more exact rep
resentation of serpent The forked tongue
the eye, and symmetrical proportions are as,
fully developed as in real snake. Uniortu-
nately, the she'll of the egg was broken, when
it was discovered that the indenture, on the
inside, contained what appeared to be bona
fide snake. 1t was as perfect in every re-
spect, as the representation referred to on
the shell. 1t was carefully taken out. and
put in glass vial in spirits, and may be seen
at the hotel of A. j. Mckay, in Luray.
This eg5 presents to the mind OF the phil
osophic inquirer curious question for solu-
tion. Various opinions are entertained rela-
tive to this singular freak of nature. Some
suppose that it is real snake, but are most
! provokingly puzzled to know how it got into
the egg. Others solve the mystery in the
same manner that other unnatural deyelope-
ments in the animal kingdom, that are wit
messed daily, are solved. The human form,
for instance. is frequently dis6gured by repre-
sentations of fruit, vegetables and even ami
mals-that were desired, dreaded or greatly
feared, so intensely as 10 make the most vivid
impressions upon the mind The snake had
no connection with the vital principle of &c rm
| of the egg, but was formed between the me n.
branous covering and she'll, and was entire,y
independent of both. This is curious ques,
tion and we submit the facts, as above stated
for the consideration Of those who take an in-
terest in such matters.

ANTICIPATION OF THE FUTURE.

1t is an elevating and spiritualizing exer-
else of the mind. 1t tends to carry the soul
q little way towards its proper region. 1t
tends to lessen the false Importance of the
things of this world, and to slacken their hold.
1t contributes to obviate that unnatural and
pernicious estrangement and dissertation be-
tween our present and future state. 1t tends
