these girls, and cut it short at each end,
he may stand chance to pass pleasant
evening, but let him not flatter himself
that all the trials of the evening are over.
There comes the breaking up. The dear
girls don their hoods, and put on their
shawls, and look so saucy and mischiev-
Gus, and unimpressible as if they did not
wish any one to 60 home with them
Then comes the pinch, and the boy who
has the most pluck makes up to the pref
tiest girl, his heart in throat, and his
tongue clinging to the roof of his mouth,
and crooking his elbow, stammers out
the words, Shall see you home r'--
She touches her fingers to his arm, and
they walk home about foot apart, feel
ing as awkward as couple of young
goslings. As soon as she is safely inside
her own doors, he struts home, and
thinks he has really been and gone and
done it. Sleep comes to him at last,
with dreams of crinoline and calico, and
he wakes in the morning and finds the
doors of life open to him-and the pig
squealing for breakfast.
CONCLUDING REFLECTIONS.
We have passed over churning and
learning the catechism, because we are
fearful of making this article too long,
although we. might have talked of butter
that wonld not be persuaded to come, and
perplexities of literary turn of mind,
and head that measured seven and a
quarter when asked what the chief end
of man was. Boyhood is a green pas
sage in mans experience in more senses
than one. 1t is pleasant thing to think
over and laugh about now, though it was
serious enough then. Many Of our pres
ent trials are as ridiculous as those which
now touch the risibler In the reccollec-
tion, and when We got to the other world
and look upon this, and upon the infancy
of the soul through which We passed
here, we have no doubt that We shall
grin over the trials which we experience
ed when we lost our fortunes, when our
wills were swept away or burned, and
when We didn't get elected to the Legis-
lature. Men are but boys of large

We love to see the blooming rose,
In all its beauty dress'd;
We love to hear our friends disclose
Emotions of their breast.

We love to see a happy wife

We love all these, yet far abuyc

We love what every Printer loves

A marriage founded upon this mutual
understanding has little change Of being
wretched; both parties ever finding the
self-same beauty they once admired, and
constantly deriving from each other the

exalted Maria Marie-the latter French,

course, have the same meaning. Martha
signifies bitterness. Anna, Anna, Han

same source, and signify kind and ,gra-
cious. Ellen was principally Eefen-
Helena in Latin, and Helen in French,

meaning of alluring, but others define ID
as one who pities. Jane, now generally
familiarized into Jenny, signifies, like
Anna, kind and gracious. For Sarah OF

cess and the morning star. Susan signi-
fies lilly, and is fitting name for atall

From the Cincinnati Gazette
PARAGRAPHS FOR THE LADIES.
WASHING FINE wooLEN ANDMUsLIN ARTICLES

The gall of oxen and cows has been
used from time immortal for removing
grease and dirt from fine woolen goods
of delicate colors. Its action is the same
as soap in removing the grease, while it
is almost inert in regarding the colors.-
In the hands of skillful persons, however,
soap is jut as safe, and is more pleasant
to use, because the gall has an offensive
odor To use gall, it should be mixed
with just as much rain water as will al
low the woolen article to be squeezed
and handled freely. 1t requires consid-
cradle handling Of the article in the Ii
quid before the gall acts throughly. AT.
ter the dirt and grease are removed, the
dress, shawl, or whatever it may be that
is washed in it, should be thoroughly
rinsed in clean soft water. 1t will take
three or four fresh supplies of water to
remove all traces of the gall from the
goods, and none must be left in on ac-
count of its offensive smell. This is a
very safe process of washing fine woolen
articles of light green, blue, and various
other delicate colors.
Another plan, and a better one, for
washing fine articles of dress, is to dis
solve some fine soap in hot water, and al
low it to become quite cold, then wash
the article in this, taking care not to rub
it violently. The soapsuds should be
quite strong, or the soap will be decom-
posed by the grease in the article to be
washed. The suds must be thoroughly
rinsed out of the articles in cold soft wa
ter. Scented soap is the best to use for
such delicate operations, because it i'm
parts an agreeable perfume to the artic-
les of dress washed.
For washing muslins or delicate col.
ors, q simple process is to take some
wheat bran-about two quarts for la
dy's dress-and boil it for half an hour
in some soft water, then allow it to cool,
strain the liquor, and use it as substi-
tute for soapsuds. 1t removes dirt like
soap, is inert regarding the colors, and
requires to be rinsed out only in one
clean water; starching is unnecessary
Thisis considered the best method of
washing fine muslns and calicoes.-
Warm suds should never be used.
WORD ON MARRIAGE.
Marriage should be emblematic Of the
union Of mind to mind, and heart to heart.
1t is we'll to build matrimonial happiness
on physical sympathy-better still on
the sympathy of heart responding to
heart But the mental adoption, and
similarity Of views relative to the grand
principles of action and the event Of So
ciaty, should also be taken in considera-
tion, for the bodily perfections must fade,
the ardor of objection may cool or be di- |
