Girls, don't look toward the city VI itI

rosy freshness of your cheeks, stay in
the country air and SUM-
Don't persuade your fa thers to sell
their farms, and go to town to deal in
''dry goods" if you do they will proba-
bly, lose farm, goods and all
Don't ape village customs by wearing
cloth gaiters when you walk,-they are
not suited to rough country roads, OF
by inviting an evening party of your
friends to meet at nine o'clock, for that
there is bedtime.
When you would adopt custom, ask
if it is suited to country liie-not if it
is fashionable in the city. 81,
Don't stand in awe of a young lady,
'.just from the city" We would rather
look for wife where there is less starch
and carmine-among farmers daugh-
ters who have the glow of health in the
cheek and the sparkle of intelligene in
the eye.
Rest satisfied to be farmers daugh-
ters; you know not what you would sac
rifce were you to change places with
the cnvied city girls. Go to work, and
mako yourselves and your homes as at
tractive and lovely as you can.
Read and study, a nd use all the means
within your reach to cultivate your minds.
Select from your associates of both sex
es those who are equally aspiring with
yourselves, and meet il social gather
ings to improve your conversational
talents, and perfectly easy, unembar-
rassed manners. r...ft

HEATS.
Hearts are of different kinds, and Of
widely different natures.

Hearts are of different kinds, and o1
widely different natures.
First, there are walled-up hearts; and
these are of two kinds; about one kind
the wall is high and strong; and to sur
round it is a work of extreme difficulty
but if you can get inside, you have en-
tered Eden. Fragrant, and sweet, and
fair, as the visions seen in dreams, is
that enclosed garden; and it is worth
hard labor to gain admittance there.
The other has a wall as high and
strong, and full ls llRrd.te getoHer; and
when at last, with torn flesh, and dislo-
Gated joints, you have scaled it, you
wish you hadn't for there is nothing in =.
side but rocks and cold water.
The trouble with these two descrip-
tions of heart is that it is impossible to
distinguish one from the other until you
have almost worn yourself out in mount
ing the walls.
Another kind of heart is that which,
having nothing to fence it in lies open
to the passage of all men and cattle; a
waste, unfruitful field, of no use to any
one, and less to the owner.
But there is another kind of heart
a rare creation but a real one-whose
wall is low, and almost hid by flowers.
The birds make their nests in it; and
sing as they swing upon its swaying
twigs, and festooning vines. Beyond
the wall, itself thing of fragrance, beau
ty, and joy, lies the enchanting garden.
Delightful flowers invite the way-worn
traveller to enter and repose. Spirits of
ove and beauty beckon the sad and
lonely ones to the feast of souls; and
charmed light and glory hover in the
whole joyous air. This is the true type
IF heart.

A Coop REPoRT.-Hon. Alex. FL
Stephens, of Georgia, was once running
for Congress with an opponent of un-
usually large stature, and on the stump
one day the discussion became exceed
ingly warm. Whercupon the large man
said to Stephens, who is small and
delicate:
"Why, sir, [ could button your ears
back and swallow you whole!"
To which rude remark, Stephens re-
tortcd:
"And if you did, you would then have
more brains in your stomach than you
ever had in your head!'

ally dissipatcd the ill humor which was
gaining ground

the truth is, the last time we loaned it

fectually that we have never used it

"She is at rest" said the village pas
tor, as we stood around the shrouded e
gure of the dead. How sweet, how con
solatory, these words seemed when ap-
piled to her who lay in dreamless slum-
Der before usl The form whose dim
outline could be seen through the white
of cercments of the grave, was wasted to
a mere shadow of It's former symmetry
and the cold hands folded over the si-
94eRt heart were SO thin and SO traaspa-
rent that you coula as-ttago4aaehs blue
vein.
There was nary silver thread in the
dark hair, gathered back from the broad
forehead; many deep furrow on the
pale and rigid face. Care and sorrow
had swept the bloom from the check,
and cast glo oomy shadow over the spi-
rit which had now taken its fight haav-
onward.
She had learned bitter lessons in hu-
man suffering; her home had been dark
ened by death, and her husband and
child had long been tenants of the
tomb. The rosy visions of childhood
had thus melted away like the tints of
the rainbow; the bright passion dreams
If youth had fed; the hopes and plans
of mature years had been grasped by
the iron hand of adversely. Friends
had deserted her and love had grown
cold. Her existence was a perpetual
struggle, yet amid every trial, every mis-
fortune, she kept her faith undimmed.
The silver cord was broken now; she
was free from toll and grief, she was at
rest. Like the temptcst-tost mariner
she made the perilous voyage of life
with her gaze fixed on the day star
of Eternity; and in that peaceful heav-
en- beyond the river of Death her sweet
reposc is endless. What can be more
soothing than the thought of eternal
rcs'2
1t comes to US with its calm and holy
influences, when the young pass away
from earth, and even in our lamentations
for them; it is cheering to know that
they have escaped the snare of the world
that they will never mingle in the
wild strife for wealth and distinction;
and never feel the blighting breath of
anguish. When the poor die in peace
we rejoice in the belief that they have
found repose in the better land. There
no storms ONE. and no clouds of sor
row lower, but the weary are at rest.

Some Lying.

Davidson College, North Carolina,
contributes good story of a man with
very bad habit. As it is all about lying,
the reader may believe it or not, as he
likes; .,..r
In the old North State lives a certain
John Long, who draws a long bow when
ever he has anything to tell, and his
character for truth and veracity, has
been below zero for many years. Cap
tain johnson had been so taken in by
one of Johns outrageous stories, that
he had said to him in pet:
'If you make me believe one of your
lies again for a month, I'll give you if
ty dollars" III
John pretended to be quite hurt by
the offer and went off A few days af-
terward he was riding by the captains
post haste, on horseback, when the cap
tain called to him:
Il sayl hello! Long! stop and tell US
lie or two this morning!"
John rode on, but cried out most dole
fully:
No time for lying now, brother jim
my has just been killed in the machin
and I'm going for the old folks"
On he went.
Captain johnson ordered his horse,
and rode over to see the dead man and
offer his services, but found him alive
and well, ginning cotton, and in no dan
ger of the machine.
Just then John rode up and deman-
ded the fifty dollars. The Captain de-
clared it was rascally trick, but he
would have had to pay the money if
John had not let him off.

had at abont one O. clock, become pref

ing with her. She replied she was en-
gagged.

She said she was
Can I dance with you the next

\ few moments afterwards. Bill is ac-
costed by the brother of the young la
dy, charged with insulting his sister,
Bill denies, but processes himself will

and accordingly steps up to the lady,
when the following eonversat ton en-
sued:-
