grope in lonely space and man, as he

for some human company in which he may

The Yankee and the Dandy,

aDandy sat opposite each other at
tho table. After the captain had said
grace, the dandy threw him self back
on his dignity, and called out in a
pompous tone to a waiter: aa3
"You wsitah bwing me the sup
portah of ayoung female hen, a fwesh
hegg, and rub the bottom of my plate
with a specimen of fruit vulgarly
called an onion, which will give me

out: '4A'@A4 81 ''..a~'

Men ceased to think of masticating,
while on uproaring yell fairly shook

was seen stretching out of the door
with his fingers in each ear.

SANDER.


Slander! What a dreadful thing
this is. How many have had their
good names sacrificed at the throne
Of this base monarch. His breath
causes the cheek to blanch, and the
heart to tremble within the bosom Of
the timid, whilst the impetuous per-
son allows the crimson flush ofindig-
nation to creep forth at its approach,
dyeing the cheek but to leave it paler
in consequence of the storm that has
passed over it.
( The perpetrators of slander, can
they be aware how much misery they
are sowing for their victims to reap?
Have they no hearts, no souls, that
they thus parley with the name, the
fair fame, all perhaps, that makes
life joyous to others. ltis well enough
to talk and pirate of raising up, supe-
rior to SANDER, but it is not for all to
perform. Many have not the power,
even had they the will, and there are
but few that have not the will to do so.
We think word should be spoken to
these same mischief makers.
Would itnot be much better, more
worthier of human beings, if in
stead of scandalizing, they treat all
with leriency, throw the mantle Of
charity ever the failings and faults of
others, instead ofexaggerating them?
Try and let people see, by dropping
this retail and wholesale dealing in
the scandal business, that you can find
other employment than this. The
world will not seem half 80 bad, and
it is bad enough to your excited ina
gination if you will but look inward
ly, wedding the evil roots from your
own heart, instead of allowing the
garden of your mind to become over
run, while you are, most to generous
ly, tending to those ofyour ncighborsY

School Aneodote.

Joe Downs was adult boy at school,
always behindhand with his lessons,
and always at the narrative end ofhis
class. Every Saturday we were
obliged to commit large number Of
words from the dictionary, spell them
and give the definition. AT the end
Of recitation any scholar could ask
a word and its meaning, the question
erto answer if none OF the rest could,
and 90 above all who missed. JOe'S
turn to "pop the question" came and
he put out the word Aceph, 1t was
spelled but the meaning could not

from head to foot till it came down
to Joe, who triumphantly spelled and
defined it--"A-c.e-p-h, a louise with
out q head !" The roar Of laughter
did not disconccrt him in the least,
but when the smoke cleared away he
appealed to the dictionary, and point

EyThe love of ornament creeps
slowly but surely, into the female
heart. The girl who twireS the lily
in her tresses. and looks at herself in
the clear stream, will soon wish that
the lily were fadeless, and the stream
a mirror. We say, let the young
girl seek to adorn her beauty, if she
be taught also to adorn her mind and
heart, that she may have wisdom to
direct her love of ornament in due
moderation.
