terly meeting Of this society was held few even
ings since, and an election of officers took place,
which resulted in the choice Of young men who
are well qualified to fill their several stations.
In mentioning this, We would call the attention

to inspire the heart of every one with that love for
his native lan6, which should ever live within 1t.

Of the hearts Of our foreGthers is here kept alive
burning with steady and unvaryng splendor.
Here the seed sown by our mothers is caused to

At Lafayette, a we'll dressed man accompa-
MED by an interesting looking lady, evidently
his wife, and two sweet children entered the
ears. He was of short stature with turned up
nose, a thick lip, small eyes, imperceptible eye
brows. The younger child appeared sick, and
tossed fretfully on his wearied knee.
The other soon became tired of the irksome-
ness of the car, and became fretful and impa-
tient. The man (for canuot call him gentle
man, lay lazily reading paper. lounging on
whole seat he monopolized to himself, though
other passengers were standing. At length the
lady perfectly unable to attend to the two little
ones, in tone of gentleness, that had some
thing ike fear it, besought him to attend to the
wants of the elder. She was answered in loud
abrupt tone that attracted everybody's atten-
ton, Don't bother me!" Her eyes dropped,
a look Of mingled sorrow and shame came over
her face but she said not a word. A moment
afterwards, the conductor Mr. Pauls came along.
and the man inquired Of him the distance to
Michigan City. With tone modelled to the
life after that previously used by his interroga-
tor, Paul Kissed out, don't bother met The
mans eyes glared with fury as he demanded
the reason for such an insult and threatened to
avenge it unless a proper apology was offered.
II shall offer no apology for my language" said
the noble hearted conductor. neither will you
resent it: for man who deems himself injured
by having applied to him the same language he
has disgraced himself in applying to lady, is
too little of gentleman to be apologized too,
and too much of coward to resent it !"

ANOTHER HELEN.-It appears that the difficult
ty between Persia and England has been caus-
ed by the English Ambassador, Mr. Murray
who persisted in keeping in his house a beautl-
full Persian lady, the sister of the Shah; after
having provided for her husband by giving him
an appointment in the British consolidating
Shah, it seems, not being willing to leave his
relative any longer in such position.

A Low VOICE IN " OMkM.-Yes, we agree with
the old poet who said that low soft voice was
an excellent thing in woman. Indeed we feel
inclined to 90 much farther than he has on the
subject and call it one Of her browning charms.
No matter what other attractions she may still
have she may be as fair as the Trojan Helen,
and as learned as the famous Hypetia of ancient
times; she may have the accomplishments con-
sidered requisite at the present day, and, every
advantage that wealth can procure, and yet, if
she lack a low, sweet voice, she can never be
really fascinating
How often the spell of beauty is rudely bro
ken by coarse, loud talking! How often you
are irresistibly drawn to a plain unassuming
woman, whose soft silvery tones render her pos
itively attractive. Besides, we fancy we can
iudge of the character by the voice the bland
smooth, fawning tone seems to us to betoken
deceit and hypocrisy as invariably as the must
cal. subdued voice indicates genuine refine
ment.
In the social circle, how pleasant it is to hear
a woman talk in that low key which always
characterzes the true lady In the sanctuary Of
home, how such a voice soothes the fretful child
and cheers the weary husband! How sweet
such cadences floats through the sick chamber;
and about the dying bed, with what solemn
melody do they breathe prayer for depart
ing soul? All, yes low, soft voice is certainly
s.an excellent thing in woman"

If she chides, l will seal her lips with kiss,

She gathered from door TO door;

Who had vowed to win a laurel wreath,
And iInmortalze his name;
But stranger he died on a foreign shore

I Love the Night

By GEO. p. MORRIS
love the night when the moon streams brigl
On flowers that drink the dew
When cascades shot as tie stars peep out,
From boundless fields OF blue;
But dearer far than moon or star,
Or flowers Of gaudy hue,
Or merry thrills OF mountain rills,
love, love, love-you
/ love to stray at the close Of day,
Through groves Of linden-trees
When music floats, in warbled notes,
And incense loads the breeze.

When hearts beat warm and true
