SHORT HA1R.-The style of hair cut
ting, yariously known as Fighting"
"hospitaI" and penitentiary" style, has
been somewhat in vogue again this sum
mer. 1t is fashion which requires some
pluck in the wearer, and subjects him to
an infinite number Of practical jokes
The only instance we have known when
the joke was on the other side, happened
q few weeks since. A short-haired friend
of ours went with a friend to q neighbor-
ing village, and met some friends in the
bar-room of the hotel A bet was pro-
posed. 7. wore his hat well over his head,
and a wager was made that a stout gen
tleman from the rural district, then and
there present, could not lift him from the
floor By the hair Of THE head. The wa
ger was put up--or rather went down.
7. took his seat on the floor, and the ru-
raj gentleman prepared for his task
Imagine lis surprise on removing his hat
to find that he might as well attempt to
lift cannon ball by the whiskers. After
some "cussing and discussing" about such
swindlee, Rural paid the little bill.-Buf.

The EVIL OF A BAD TEMPER.-A bad
temper is curse to the possessor, and
its influence is most deadly..wherever it is
found. 1t is allied to martyrdom to be
obliged to live with one of a complaining
temper. To hear one eternal round of
complaint and murmuring, to have every
pleasant thought scared away by this evil
spirit, is sore trial. It is like the sting
of a scolpion-a perpetual nettle, destroy
ing your peace, rendering life a burden.
Its influence is deadly; and the purest
and sweetest atmosphere is contaminated
into deadly miasma wherever this evil
genius prevails. 1t has been said truly,
that while we ought not to let the bad
temper of others influence us, it would be
as unreasonable to spread blister upon
the skin, and not expect it to draw, as to
think of a family not suffering because Of
the bad temper of its inmates. One
string out of tune will destroy the music
of an instrument otherwise perfect; so if
all the members Of church, neighbor-
hood, and fsmily, do not cultivate kind
and affectionate temper, there will be
discord and every evil work. Steele.

A GLOOMY PICTURE.

No very inviting picture is drawn by
a correspondent Of the Washington In
teligencer, who writes from Cuba:
A few hours in HAVANA when the
vomito reigns, would efectually cure one
of all fillibustering to obtain residence
there. Certes no man in his right mind
would accept it as a bonus on condition of
remaining for the year throughout
Winter may diminish but cannot divest
the city of its summer grief"
AS | left the harbor this morning an
officer of the British ship said, "and that
ship you see by itself there, its sails all
hanging loose, was this morning towed
from the wharf aud moored there BY the
authorities-all having died. The poi
son was never more discernable than now,
no one can forget its smell, nor the stink
ing fog which, as the sun rises, shoots
up and disappears from the hot harbor
like steam from the locomotive, without
whistle; for, though all are upon the
track, Death gives no warning.
More than half the sailors have died,
and as no fresh ones come it must cease.
Like stricken victims, a few vessels may
be seen leaving the harbor by the first
breeze; these few have enough left to sail
away, but not enough to manage the en-
PITY ship. The truth can only be learned
by visiting, at the hotels, sea captains,
making acquaintance, and becoming in
terested in what they tell you. The de-
tails would not be credited. The cause
is apparent to me. Think of 100000
people, two thirds fed and clothed, sleep
ing in the open air mostly; of high walls
and streets fourteen feet wide, pavements
twenty inches, and sewers and drains on
each side of some of those streets Zone
three miles long-that to Cerro)about
three feet deep, two wide and six inches
deep is a green mire, exhaling stencil
too disgusting for even poison, since the
filth from all the houses enter them and
remains til frost kills lis poison, for rain
only increases their depth.

KISSING.

Sweet Minnie May and l one eve
Across the meadows s.ray'd,
Then wandering down the little lane
To where the streamlet play'd,
We passed beneath the linden'S shade,
Within a fowery dell }''t.
I asked a kiss; she signing, said,
''Yes, if you'll never tell"
All! do you think, sweet Minnie May,
That could traitor beG
One kiss, and will pledge for aye
Ny secrecy to thee.
Her fringed lips yelled modestly
The mirrors of her soul,
To neck and brow all suddenly
The tell-tale bushes stole.
Her round white arms my neck entwin'd,
All then the height of bliss
Her rosy lips were pressed to mine
In one sweet lingering kiss:
"Epst-wisp'tse' it sounded thro' the lane,
Twas waited by the breeze,
Until repeated DER again
By echo mid the trees.

The Girl's Silly Dispensafson.

n nv Wills foA&Ay DAekvCAsSsAAOASs
DR.. HOLLAND divides every young
woman's first twenty years into three dis
pensations, which he denoulinatcs the
chaotic, the transitional, ard the crystal
llne the chaotic usually terminating with
the adoption Of the long skirt.
Here is Timothy Titcoub's' capita!
picture, whose accuracy almost every GUS
can verify from actual observation:
"Thcn commences the transitional dis
pcnsation, involving the process Of crys-
Utilization.
"The silly dispcnsation Or stage Of q
young woman's life is marked by many
curious symptoms, some of them indics-
tive, of disease. As the cutting Of tho
natural teeth is usually accompanied by
various disorders, so tho cutting Of tho
spiritual teeth in women is very apt to
exhibit its results in abnormal manifesto
tons. They sometimes est slate pencils

take kindly to broken bits Of plastering.
Others take a literary tnrn, and not con-
tent with any number of cpistles from
lady acquaintance, send in contributions
to the press, which the friendly and ap-
preciative editor kindly and carefully re-
turns, or as kindly and carefully loses, or
fails to receive. Others still take to shop
ping and dawdling with clerks who have
dawnine boards, red cheeks, and frock
coats with wide side pockets, from which
protrude white handkerchief tips. Still
others yoke themselves In pains, drawn
together by sympathetic attraction, and
by community of mental exercise on the
subject of beaux. You shall see them
walking through the streets locked arm
in arm, plunginy into the most charming
condolences: orif you happen to sleep in
the house with chem, you shall hear them
talking in their chambers until, at mid
night, the monotonous hum of their voices
has soothed you to sleep; and the same
voices, with the same unbroken hum,
shall greet your ears in the morning.
Others take to solitude and long earls.
They walk with their eyes down, mns-
muring to themselves with the impression
that everybody is looking at them.
"If a young woman can he safely car.

step of life will have been gained. This
is the era of hasty marriages, deathless
attachments which last until they are su-
perseded, and deliberately formed deter
limitations to live maiden life, whicls
endure until the reception Of an offer Of
marriage. If: during this period, young
woman be at home, engaged more or less
in the duties Of the household, or, if she
be engaged in study, with the bealthfnl
and Stimulus of society about
her, it is very we'll for her. But if she
be among her mates constantly, with no.
hing to do, or if she be shut up in 3
boarding school conducted on the high
pressure principle, where Imagination is
by restraints and disobedience

ness, it is indeed very bad for her,"

WOMAN,S RIGHTS.

When the Woman's Rights meeting
was held in New York two months ago.
there was derisiye outcry raised at tho
magnanimity of the law, in allowing st
widow some tea pot;" but the petticoated
sponters who turned up their noses at
widows tea-pots, Knew not what they
were talking abont.-Al5aay Argus.
That's SO. The women Of this country
possess more rights than any other people
in the Republic. They escape jury duty,
general training, and " shoveling snow in
the winter" They neither saw wood,
chop wood, or carry in the wood. They
can join canal boat and pole through
the canal. but they never do it. They
can raft timber and carry hods, but they
won't do it. They can lay brick, catch
shad, and dive for oysters, but they won't
do it. All this hard and dirty work they
leave to be performed by "those brutes,
the men," .
The women have the inside track.--
They live in clover and work leinon-col-
ored lions with exasperated tails in Berliu
wool. They par.ake Of ice-erearns and
cotillions, bat always leave 'those brutes,
the men," to foot the bill. When the
thermometer is ninety-fyc in the shade,
they take seat in the parlof of Kanes

men, are wedding onions or getting in
the hay crop, with the sun hot enough to
draw blisters on a brickbat.--Enicker-

BoYIsH VAN1TY.-My neighbor B.
had social party at his house few eve
nings since, and the "dear boy" Charles,
a fve-year old, was favored with permits
sion to be seen in the parlor "Pa" was
somewhat proud of his boy, and Charles
was, of course, elaborately got up for SO
great an occasion. Among other extras,
the little fellows hair was treated to a
liberal supply of "eau de Cologne" to
his huge qualification. As he entered
the parlor and made his bow to the ladies
and gentlemen, "Look here" said he
proudly, eff any of you smells a smell,
that's me-" The effect was decided, and
Charles, having thus in one brief sentence
delivered an illustrative essay on human
vanity, was the hero of the evening
Every one could call to mind some boy
of larger growth, whose dissatisfaction,
though not perhaps so audibly announced
was vet equally evident, and not better
founded.

After you went away to the store Ma

After you went away to the store Ma
~ got into one of her perverse humors.
She didn't want to go to school to begin
with; then she couldn't find her slate !;
and then her shoe pinched her. l felt
very much annoyed; but recalling my
good resolution, | met her irritation with
calmness; her wilfulness with gentle re-
buke; and so conquered. She kissed
me and started for school with cheerful
countenance, her slate in her satchel and
pinching shoe UNDECIDED. And SO | had
my reward.
But my trials were not over. Some
extra washing was needed, So called
Ellen, and told her that Mary would re
quire frock and two pain of drawers to
be washed out, and the baby some slips
and you some Observation-Disclosures
A saucy refusal leaped from the girls
quick tongue, and indignant words to me
Patience, patience whispered still,
small voice. Istifled, with an effort my
feelings, restrained my speech, and con-
trolled my countenance. Very calmly
as to all exterior signs, did look into Ell
lens face, until she dropped her eyes to
the floor in confusion.
You have forgotten YOURSELF said /
with some dignity Of manner, yet without
a sign of irritation. She was humbled
at once; confessed the wrong, and hum
bly, begged my pardon. I forgave her,
after reproof and she went back to the
kitchen, something wiser, l think, than
when | summoned her. The washing
required has been done, and we'll done,
and the girl has seemed all day as if she
were endeavoring to atone, by kindness
and service, for that hasty speech. fl
mistake not we were both improved by
the discipline through which we have
passed.
Other trials | have had through the
day, some Of them quite as severe as the
few | have mentioned; but the armor of
patience was whole when the sun went
down. Twas able to possess my soul in
peace, and the conquest Of self has made
me happier. This is my good days work

eyes,"
Mr.. Barlow did not look or speak as
the voice Of his wife grew silent. She
waited almost a minute for his response,
Then he bent forward suddenly and kiss
ed her, saying as he did so:
