"After all that may be said or sang about it,
beauty is an undenable fact, and its endowment
not to be disparaged. Sydney Smith gives
some good advice on thesubject "Never teach
fulsome morality. How exquisitely absurd to
teach girl that beauty is Of no value, dress Of
no use Beauty is of yaluc-her whole pros
poets and happiness in life may often depend
upon new gown or becoming bonnet; if she
has five grains Of common sense, she will find
this out. The great thing is to teach her their
| Just value, and there must be something better
under the bonnet than aispretty face, for real
happiness. But never sacrifice truth."-&lad

Bonx TO Coop LUcK.--The St. Louis Leader
tells the following story.
Not over dozen years ago, merchant Of
this city, well known and highly respected, failed
in business, and after settling up Lis affairs, gave
to his principal creditor q decd of trust OIL ccr-
tain real estate to secure the payment of $l2,-
| 600. At the time the property was barely val
ued at that, so the creditor put the deed in his
safe, and there, so far as; he was concerned, the
matter ended The merchant broken down,
disappointed, poor but yet enterpriSng, went
Souiil, visited CALIFORNIA; Mexico and South
| America, speculatcd, made halra dozen fortunes
and lost them again. Afew weeks since he re-
turned to the city, sick, travel worn, needy and
dshcartcned. BY chance he met his old law
yer, gentleman high bis profession, and who
| is descrvcdly respected. .SAfter the first greet
ing. the lawyer remarked, 81 am glad to see
YOU back, and as you seem to be in want Of
! funds, the sale will be Just in timc."
The merchant looked hard at his friend and
finally said, "Sale what sale I've got nothing
! to sell"
aNonsensc, my dear dellow, you are richer
than you imagine. Dona You remember the
deed of trust l drew upfor you some twelve
years ago?"
81 do, what of it?" y
.Wel, at that time ths property would not
/ have realized that sum- so it was let lie, but 1t
is now in the market. and | expect to close a
contract for its sale this week."

awe asked $4,000 and shall get 1t too.

easily imagined than described" as tic penny

ten years at least. q
Reader what we haveshere related Is simple
fact, and more, the occuiasnce is not yet week
old.
Women AT HoME-Heaven did not intend
women to bc the inmates Of boarding houses.
They are out of their elements IN all such abb
ding places There a:c erratic exceptions to
the general rule hut the true sphere OF Il really
womanly woman, is her own hone-her true
mission to make her husband and her children
! lmupy. Her heart more than her head, "nar-
slals her the way she should 60" Her alice
tons, her wifely and mother love, instruct her
intellect. sharpen her perception, and give iorce
energy, and precision To her plans anal purposes.
Such Il women prayeth not for her ScE's rights
-mourncth not over its wrongs. She attends
no conventions. cuvrts not the dOublc-barrcllcd
, garment, demands not Il scat on tile bench;
post in the Slate, or vote through the ballot
box. Content with the position assigned to all
women by the Almighty at the creation, ami
which the prophets, lAtrarchS. apostles, and the
Savior himself, have declared to be the most
meet and Sccmly for tic weaker vessel. the good
wife never attempts to ovcrstcp the limits Oi
her appropriate sphere, but makes that sphere
charmed circle within which the husband and
father is lisburthenrd Of his business cares and
enjoys tulness of placid happiness which tic
outside world can neither give nol take away.
Fortunate is he who hath such Il woinan to
wife; for she shall not only smooth the rough
ness OF his earthly journey, hut lea,l linn gent
ly by the hand toward Heaven.

TIE SrSrlowrR AGAINST MrAsMA.-A long
communication from Lieut.. Maury is published
in the National lntelligencer, giving the details
Of an experiment which he made last season in
planting sunfowers between the observatory
grounds. in Washington, and the Potomac, as
a bulwark against the miasma, from which the
dwcllers at the Observatory have hitherto suf-
fc1cd severely. The experiment was most sue
cesslul, the residents of that station escaping for
the first time the regular fall visitation Of fever
and aguc, whilst in unprotected situations the
shaking went on with its usual energy. SINH
lar experiments with the sunilower culture in
France has been attended with like results.
