GENTLEMAN.-Show me the man
who can quit the brilliant society OF
the young to listen to the kindly
voice ofage-who can hold cheerful
conversation with one whom years
has deprived Of all charms; show me
the man who is willing to help the
deformed, who would stand in need
of help, if the blush of Helen man
tied on his cheek; show me the man
who would not sooner look rudely
at the poor girl in the village, than
at the well-dressed lady in the saloon
show me the man who treats I'M
protected maidenhood as he would
the heiress, surrounded by the pow
erful protection Of rank, riches and
family; show me him who avoids the
libertine's side-who shun him as the
blasphemer and traducer ofhis moth
er's sex-who scorns as he would
the coward, the ridiculer of a wo-
mans reputation; show me the man
who never forgets for an instant the
delicacy and respect that is due to
woman, in any condition or class,
and you show me true gentleman.

WOMAN, BEAUTIFY YOUR
HOME

Many a woman lives in a bare
unadorned, beautiless home, which a
little earnest effort and Importantly,
on her part, would greatly improve.
We do not refer 10 the inside, but
the outside arrangements. The
time will soon come to transplant
trees, flowers, shrubs, vines, &c.
Let the woman of each household
see to it that their favorite trees and
Towering shrubs and vines, are put
where they would Ike to see them
growing. Let the door way or porch
or window have a beautiful Towering
vine clambering over it; let the yard
have some shade trees growing in it;
let the walks and corners have lovely
shrubs adoring them; let the garden
have rows of currant, gooseb@rrv and
raspberry bushes, growing for beau
ty and comfort; let the fences and
walks be well arranged and the grass
plats and flower beds and edges be
got ready, and then how much
pleasanter and happier will be our
f! farmer homes. See to these things,
good women of the country. Your
husbands will forget them unless you
properly remind them Of what their
homes need for beauty. Do not let
the season pass without having some
thing done worthy of the good far
mer's nome. If there is no other
way, let the women go out them
selves, aud with men to do the hard
work and superintend the work
themselves and see that it is done,
and well done and done in season.
Do not put off the work.-Procra-
stination is dangerous. Come what
will beautily your homes.

A PLAGUE IN THE BARBARY STATES. The
London Times has letters dated Tripoli, july
81, giving an account of the dreadful rayages
of the plague among the Arabs. We quote
"For many years past the States OF Barbary
have been free from the visitation of the
plague, and when it was first reported, about
three months ago, that several deaths had oc-
Cured in the district of Bengazi, attended
by symptoms similar to those of the plague
people were unwilling to believe it could be
that fearful malady, and they were confirmed
in this disbelief by the opinion of the medi-
cal officer of the Santa at Bengszi who de.
elared it to be typhus, and not an epidemic.
The disease first broke out among a tribe.
about six hours distant from Bengazi, and a
report of the dreadful ravages it was making
reached that city on the 25th of last April.
The British Vice Consul, Mr.. Grove, beng
convinced, by all he heard of the nature and
rapid progress of the disease, that it was &C.
tually the plague, strongly urged the Bey, the
governor OF the province, to take measures for
the preservation of the public health, recon-
mending that a military Gordon should be
placed at proper distance from the city, to
prevent communication with the infected
tribe. But the Bey, either Influenced by
Mohammedan fatalism or natural Incidence,
would do nothing. The fatal conseq uences
of his neglect OF the Vice Consul's suggestion
soon appeared.
The disease soon found its way into the un-
guarded city, and its first victims were the
women and children of the poor. But II soon
spread with fearful rapidity, attacking with
fearful virulence rich aud poor alike. Entire
families perished miserably. Then ensued
general panic, aud Of population of 5000
souls more than half abaqdoned their homes
aud fled to the desert. OF those that remain.
ed 40 or 80 died daily, sometimes more.
Night and day the bodies Of the dead were
cast hastily into their shallow graves, and the
cries a the Moorish women, the bowling of
the jews, and the dismal toling of the bells
of the Catholic Chapel were dreadful to hear.

The rain was very powerful in Boston and
vicinity on Saturday afternoon; the streets
and railroad tracks in many places were sub
merged, cellars in Faneuil Hall Square, in
Water Street, and at the North and South
ends, were filed with water, but no very
heavy damage was done.
A boat while off Crow Point, near Hing
ham, was upset by the squall. 1t contained
Charles H. Hersey, aged eighteen, and a
younger brother, both sons of Major Joshua
Hersey of bingham. The former, we regret
to say, was drowned, while the younger broth
ei swan to the shore.
Another sad and even more fatal accident
occurred off Hog Island, which resulted in
the death of one gentleman and lady. The
boat Spit6re was in the harbor, having on
board Mr.. George F. Spear. wife, and Miss
Jane NJ. Hool, niece of Mr.. Spear, all of
Quincy. The sudden squall struck her, and
Mr.. Spear and his niece were drowned, but
Mrs. Spear was saved, and landed at Hull bv
boatmen from that place.

next. The convention will be composed of dele.
gates from all evangelical Sabbath schools of the

other information that can give interest. The

cellar, and was contained in two casks of about
forty gallons each.
young Irishman, about Is years of age, by

ing liquor with intent to sell. McKinn pleaded
guilty. and was sent to the House of Correction

RoBBER CAUGHT.-Early on Monday NOR
ming, when the wife of Mr.. Greenhow, silver
smith, Chelmsford, England, came down
stairs, she perceived that about eighty watches
were missing from the shop window. 1t
immediately occurred to her to go to the sta.
ton and inquire if any one had gone off by
an early train. A porter then informed her
that man who appeared impatient to get
away had been eDquiring about the next
train, and had left with him bag which was
very heavy. Mrs. Greenhow felt the bag,
and was convinced that it contained the stolen
property. On the man making his appear
ance he was given into custody, and the bag
opened and found to contain the watches,
which were worth nearly $4,000. 1t is sup
posed that he got into the shop when the
shutters were being put up, and lay concealed
till the inmates of the house were in bed.

A NEST oF LoAFERs AND RowDIEs BROKEN
UP.-There has been company of not very re-
spectacle men assembled every Sunday for some
weeks past in a wood lot between this village and
South Milford. Their employment has been to
have chowder, gamble, and get drunk pretty
generally. Last Sunday the nest was stirred up
pretty efectually by Sheriff Hayward The sight
last Sunday humiliating to behold There
was the father of sixty, with the son of twenty
or twenty-five in the drunken revelry, and the
roulette, with other gambling apparatus in full
operation. There were quite number of hard
ened old sinners in the company, but there were
so many young men who we can hardly think
will be caught in such company again, that we
forbear giving any names at present from the list
we have We trust that such an exhibition of
gross and disgusting vice 1t will not be our duty
to notice again,-Milford Journal.

SINGULAR MANsLAUeHTER.-A negro is in
Tolland county Jail, CT, for killing John
Keeney, charcoal dealer, of Hebron, who
employed him, under the following circum-
stances, as related by himself. Keeney came
to the negro's bedside, and pulled him out by
his hair, and commenced kicking him brutal
ly, because he had oversight himself The
negro seized a knife that was sticking in the
wall, and struck Keeney three times in the
abdomen, who ran out into the yard, falling
two or three times. The negro followed him
and asked him if he was much hurt. Keeney
replied that he was not, and almost immedi-
ately fell dead.
