When thy downy cheeks were in bloom
Now stand alone mid the flowers
While they mngle their perfumes DER thy

curious circumstance happened to me.
huntsman | saw through the thorny brake
Ride to and fro by the woodland lake.
The deer came bounding across the spot
But what did the huntsman? He shot them not
He blew his horn by the forest green,-
Now tell me, good people, what could that mean
AS strolled onward along the shore,
A curious circumstance happened once more.
A fsher-maid in boat on the lake
Rowed to and fro near the thOrny brake
Twas sundown, the fishes around her shot.
But what did tue maiden? She caught them not
She sang a song by the forest green
Now tell me, good people, what could that mean ?
Retracing my steps at evenings fall,
The most curious circumstance happened of all
A riderlcss horse stood in the brake,
An empty skif reposed on the lake
And passing the grove Of alders there,
What heard | therein? a whispering pair
The moon shone brightly, the night was serene,--

A SmLE.-Who can tell the value of a
smile 1t costs the giyer nothing, but is be-
yond price to the erring and relenting, the
sad and cherries, the lost and forsaken. 1t
dlsarms malice subdues temper, turns hatred
to love, revenge to kindness, and paves the
darkest path with gems of sunlight. A smile
on the brow betrays kind heart, a pleasant
friend, an affectonate brother, dutiful son,
a happy husband 1t adds charm to beau

ABOUT Women The Germans have some
curious sayings, among which are the follow
ing Women have lopg hair and short wits.
There is only one bad wife in the world, but
every one thinks that he has her. A woman
spills more with her thimble than man can
draw with bucket. A woman always keeps
secret what she does not know. Rich wives
make poor children. There are only two
good women in the world the one is dead,
and the other is not to be found.
Amador weekly ledger., 1858-06-19

A celebrated writer says: "No woman can
be lady who can wound or mortify another.
No matter how beautiful, how refined, how
cultivated she may be, she is, in reality coarse,
and the innate vulgarity of her nature mani
tests itself here. Uniformly kind, courteous
and polite treatment of all persons, is one
mark OF true woman.
