Something for the Ladies to Observes
The following laws for the ladies arc
laid down by aSouthern Journal:
lst. Before you bow to lady in the
street permit her TO decide whether you
may do so or not, by Mt leas, look OF
recognition.
2. When yoHr compaiSns bow ID lady
you should do the same. When a gen.
tleman bows to lady in your company.
always bow 10 him in return.
In giving them publicity, the Albany
Atlas and Argus makes the following
time y and truthful comments:
Nothing is so i'll understood in Ameri.
ca, as those conventional laws Of society,
so we'll understood and practiced in Eu.
rope. Ladies complain that gentlemen
pass them in the street unnoticed, when,
in fact, the fault arises from their own
breach Of politeness. 1t is their duty 10
do the amiable first, for it is a privilege
which ladies enjo Of choosing their own
associates or acquaintances. No gentle.
man likes TO risk the cut in the streets
by lady through premature salute.-
loo many ladies, it would seem, "don't
know their trade" Of polteness. Meet.
ing ladies in the street, whom one has
causually met in company, they seldom
bow unless he bows first, and, when
gentleman ever departs from the rule Of
good breeding, except, occasionally, by
way of experiment, his acquaintance do
not multiply, but he stands probably
charged with rudeness. The rule is plain.
A lady must be civil to gentleman in
whose company she is casually brought;
but a gentleman is not, upon this, to pre-.
sumo upon acquantanceship the frs,
time he afterwards meets her in the street.
If, it be her will, she gives some token of
recognition, when the gentleman bows;
otherwise ne mast pass on, and consider
himself stranger No lady need hesi.
tate to bow to gentleman, for he will
promptly and politely answer, even if ho
has forgotten his fair saluter; none buta
brute can do otherwise; should he pass
on rudely, his character is declared, and
there is cheap riddance. Politeness or
good breeding is like law-"the reason Of
things"

Douglas complains bitterly that the friends
of the abolition of slavery are falling
away from the cause, some for ono rea.

them to treat the colored man as On equal

And now, Warren, after making all

Of you, which is this; understand you

SPOTS ON THE SUN.

Several spots OH tho disc of the sun.
says the Washington Union, are now
visible, three Of which are Of very large
size. They may be seen by means of a
telescope of moderate power in the fol.
lowing manner: direct the telescope 10
the sun, and instead Of applying the eye
to the aperture let the image of the sun
fall upon sheet Of white paper held
few inches from the eye piece. Then by
pulling out the eye piece slightly, until
the image becomes distinct, the surface Of
the sun is as plainly visible as that of
the full moon on fair evening. The
image may be made larger or smaller,
as the paper is held further from, or
nearer to, the telescope. Spots have
been seen upon the solar disc ofupwards
OF twenty thousand miles in diameter. or
nearly three times the diameter Of tho
earth; and the smallest that can be dis.
cerned by good telescopes cannot bs
much less than five or six hundred miles
in diameter. Spots on the sun are regsr.
ded by many, and particularly by tho
superstitous, as indications of some ter.

able enemy has started in the path before
him, and straightway the concentrated
malice Of his heart is poured out upon
the successful competitor. Professional
Jealousies exist everywhere, men are apt
to look upon competition IS positive op.
position, and act accordingly. We have
known such, know them now, and could,
were we disposed to do so, place our fin.
ger upon the individuals, who are half
crazed with this feeling. Here, for in.

be it brass or gold. Vixen he has reach.
ed point in his career, from which he
can look back upon his own former in.

thought that no one can reach him now,
no one can rival his success. Anon, an.

popularity, and with progress remarka.

with renewed efforts. By hints, mean.

LOVE AND FAME.
J. G. C.SHAPARD,

Give me the honor Of love!
ask no m)re for fame;
Far better one unpurchased hear,
Than glory's proudest name.
Why wake fever in the blood,
Or damp the spirit now,
10 gain wreath whose leaves shall way
Above a wthered brow!
Give me the boon of love!
Ambitions need is vain;
Dearer affections earnest smile
Than honor's richest train:
Ia rather lean upon breast
Responsive to my own,
Than sit pavlIIion'd gorgeously
Upon kngly throne.
Like the Chaldean sage,
Famc's worshlppers adore
The brilliant orbs that scatter light
Ger Heavens azure floor;
But, III their very hearts enshrined,
The vOtares of love
Keep e'er the holy flame, which once
lllumcd the courts above,
Give me the boon of love!
Renown is but breath,
Whose loudest echo ever floats
From out the halls of death.
A lovely eye beguiles me more
Than fumes embazoned seal.
And one sweet note of tenderness
Than triumph's widest peal.
Give me the boon of love!
The path of fame is drcar,
And glory's arch doth ever span
A hillside cold and sere.
One wild flower from the path of love,
All lowly though it lie.
Is dearer than the wreath that waves
10 stern ambitions eye.
Give me the boon of love
The lamp of fame shines far.
But loves soft light lows near and warm
A pure and household star
One tender glance can fill the soul
With perennial fire;
But glory's flame burns titfully-
A lone funeral pyre.
Give me the boon of love.
Fane's trumpet-strains depart;
But loves sweet lutte breathes melody
That fingers in the heart.
And the scroll of fame will burn
When sea and earth consume,
But the rose Of love in happier sphere,
VIII live in deathless bloom,
