A LOUD GALL FOR GIRLS

Some Of the miserable, unmated-miserable
because unmated-bachelors out West are get
ting quite desperate. Their cry for relief is
melancholically distressing. Who will volun-
teer to relieve them from the horrors Of single
blessedness We are of opinion that, if mar
red very soon, they could be worked into pretty
good husbands. But delays are dangerous
The editor of the Sioux (Iowa) Eagle thus i'm
plores:
"We will promise husbands to five hundred
women during the next year, if they will onlv
come forward and say they want them. We
think the population of our town averages about
five males to each female, and by the last GEN.
sus it appears that there are $4,000 more males
than females in Iowa. Take pity, ladies, and
come to our relief"
Don't be prudish, girls. If you want hus-
bands, say so, md let your actions correspond
with your words. This talking "oDish" when
everybody knows you mean on, is all nonsense.
Bachelors are proverbially shy. They always
feel sort o sheepish, because they expect that
everybody will suspect they have tried to get
married and couldn't; and the older they grow
the more timid they become on this very ac-
count. Go to them, good, sensible Yankee
girls, toke them gently by the hand, encourage
their laudable desires, and lead them into the
silken bonds of matrimonial felicity We mean,
you do the courting.-Lifs Illustrated.

THE Coon EFFECT OF CLIMBING MOUNTAINS
Climbing lofty mountains brings our minds and
bodies together nearer heaven than any other
human enterprise, and we admire those who
make it their summer occupation. They are
never sniVeling people. The act of ascending
deveopes the superior energies; the nerves
are braeed the ideas gather purity from the
SHOWS around; and the mind liberalty from the
vast scale of the mountains, and calm from their
soltude while the receding earth, with its
sinking adjuncts, is type of how tiny things
assume their proper proportions and places
when contemplated from an elevated point of
view. But the arrival at the summit is the
eliminating moment-then all those sensations
mingle together, perhaps bewildering at first,
but with delightful force; we feel a touch OF
superiority run through our nature, and we de-
fy any one who has been raised 10000 feet in
the vault of heaven to descend and talk scan
dal, or do any other pettitogging meanness for
u day or twO.--Aihgneum.

The Doc DAYs.-TLat much nbuscd stellar
lumlnary, the dog star, is IN the ascendant, or
as it is more vulgarly expressed is now ra-
glng." We are in the 25rh day Of has reign
which commenced on the 25th of July and ends
on the 20th of August Popular superstition
dreams now that it is hotter and that the pes
tilential heat not only affects the sky, but sets
the dogs mad, and makes men mad, and showers
upon the earth tevers and pestllence in divers
forms. We beg leave TO suggest, however,
that over exposure to the sun, over excl emcnt
and over indulgence in the unrpe fruits Of the
season, do much more to affect the public
health than any influence eXerted by the dog
star.
The dog star is supposed 10 be thirty times
as big as our sun, and some say it is sixty mil
lion miles from us, notwithstanding ii is SO
bright. We state the figures, but OF course It's
lie and distance SO vast that we do not al
all comprehend them. 1t is an old king star
that has been watched ever since history be-
gan. The old Thebans measured their year
by it; the Egyptians thought it ioretOld the
fruitful and untruitiui seasons; and the Eo-
mans said it had great influence over their
llocks and herds, and used to sacrifice do@ to
it.. This was certainly good custom, and ii
every owner Of a canine would sacrifice his AMI
NAL, we should rejoice most heartily.

When all was glad and none did grieve

10 dwell,-and naught but radiance beam
The zephyr told its pleasant tale
Oer every hill, through every vale;
The lowering sun was soon to kiss
The western hills-a kiss of bliss
And yet his radiant beams shone DER
The wide, wide earth frem shore to shore.
And eve so pleasant to my mind
Entlced me forth, place to find
More beauteous than the one in view,-
Which proved to be not hard 10 do,-
by thought led on, and not by will,
Was borne beyond sylvan hill,
Into a vale, which e'er before
Had met my eye; roamed it o'er;
Transported with the rapturous place,

And glanclng at, on every side,

Beneath the branches of tree,

Intent to note what might hear
From one so troubled as she was;
That might comprehend the cause.
These are the words that caught my ear,
klnd reader, read, and you will hear:
This evening everything is glad;
But alone am here and sad,
And nothing can my spirit cheer
But o99e, my love, and he's not here.
o could only just behold
His lovely form-tar more than gold
Yes, there is not a rapturous scene
On all the earth that have seen,
That could half compare with him,
Unless my sight were growing dim.
How oft we've trod this quiet vale,
The evening balmy air to inhale,
And view the rural portraits fair;
For everything was pleasant here!
But now, alas-alas How drear!
For he's not here the scene to cheer.
y, how his gentle flowing words
More cheering than the song of birds,
Or sweeter far than music's voice,
Have often made my heart rejoice!
But for some cause could meier make known
That this poor heart was all his own,
Although his manners had charm,
And told Of much affection warm;
They told Of such heart as |,
With all my spirit, could rely
Upon. And his to me has been

My trembling hand in his he prest,
When suddenly, by Fate he said,

O, has he left me to repine =
His parting words | can't define.
From tears never shall refrain
Unless get my heart again.
And then she rose, and sadly left,
Ponderng if she was berett
of one whom, either soon or late,
She knew would slrely fix her fate.
Now-lest you guess and be mistaken
Know, i'll word, she was forsaken.

Oft may the spirit Of the dead descend
To watch the silent slumbers of friend;
To hover round his evening walk unseen,
And hold sweet converse on the dusky green;
Tohail the spot where once their friendship grew,
And Heaven and Nature opened to their view!

A smiling circle emulous to please;

A MOTHERS COUNsEL.-Forty years ago a
mother stood on the green hills of Vermont,
holding by the right hand a son, sixteen years
old, mad with love of the sea. And, as she
stood by the garden gate, that sunny morning,
she said "Edwin, they tell me-for | never
saw the ocean-that the great temptation of
the seamen's life is drink. Promise me before
you quit your mothers hand, that you will
never drink" gave the promise, and went
over the globe-Calcutta, the Mediterranean.
San Francisco, the Cape of good Hope, the
North Pole and the South-I saw them all in
forty years. and never saw glass filled with
sparkling liquor that my mothers form by the
garden gate, on the green hill side of Vermont,
did not rise before mo; and to-day, at sixty, my
lips are innocent of the taste of liquor.
