observes:
You know no man until you have heard

humors-when a man with whom we have
been long familiar, will quite startle us by
breaking out into laugh, which comes mani
fesiiy right from the heart, and yet which we
had never heard before. Even the fair ladies
with whom We have been much pleased, we
have remarked the same thing. And in many

BE A WOMAN

Oft I've heard gentle mother,
As the twilight hours began,
Pleading with a son, of duty,
Urging him to be a man.
But unto her blue-eyed daughter,
Though with loves words quite as ready
Points she out this other duty,
s'strive, my dear, to be lady"
What's lady! l. it something
Made ofhoops, and silks. and airs,
Uscd to decorate the parlor,
Like the fancy rugs and chairs
Is it one who wastes on novels
Every feeling tina. il human,
II tits this TO be a lady,
IT'S not this to be a woman.
Mother, then, unto your daughter,
Speak of something higher, far,
Than to be mere fashions lady
woman" is the brightest star.
Ifye are in strong affection,
Urge your son to be a true man,
Urge your daughter no less strongly
To arise and be woman.
Yes, q woman--brightest model
or that high and perfect beauty,
Where the min l, and soul, and body, ...
Blend to work out life's great duty
Be woman--nought is higher
On the gilded list Of fame;
On a catalogue ofvirtue
There's no brighter, holier name.
Be woman-on to duty
Raise the world from all that's low,
Place high in the social heaven
Virtues fair and radiant Tow,
Lend thy influence to each effort,
That shall raise our natures human
Be not fashions gilded lady,
Be Observation-Disclosures woman.

Romance in Real Life.

The Bucyrus (Ohio) Journal says that man
living near there, lost his wife some years ago
in Homer, N. Y, that they had a little girl,
who he gave to a friend and left the country
He was gone 10y years, and returned but could
find no trace Of his child. She had two marks
by which he might know her, one toe was gone
and she had scar on her arm. The man gave
herup as lost to him and finally settled near
Bucyrus and married. The rest we give from
that paper.
About six weeks ago, he happened TO pass
by the room in his house occupied by SER
Want girl who had resided with him nearly two
years, at time wheo she was about to retire,
and the door being open he saw her foot. He
merely glanced at it, and happened to notice
that the little toe Of the right foot ,ras missing.
He thought nothing of it at the time, but af-
ter retiring the idea struck him, that it might
be the daughter he had searched for so long
AT first he dismissed the thought as improha-
BILE, but still forced itself upon him, until finally
he requested his wife to go to the room and as.
certain whether there was or not, marks of a
scald upon her right arm. She went, and to
his Immense delight reported that the marks
were there. The poor man was so positive of
her identity, that the girl was awakened, and
in the middle OF the night was questioned as
TO her origin.
She could only tell them that she did not
know her parents. her earliest recollections
were that she lived somewhere in the east with
family naming the family she
had been left with by the woman originally en-
trusted with herr and at their death she WIS
taken charge of by the overseors Of the POOR,
PLACE provided for her, and she had come to
Bucyrus with family, and had supported her.
self by doing Homework since.
This tailed 80 nearly with the already ascer-
tanned facts in the case that the next day the
father started east with her, and visiting the
different points she had named, ascertained to
his great joy, that she was in truth his daugh.
ter.
She is an extremely beautiful girl, of great
natural intelligence. and though totally uned
ucated, is still interesting.
She is now at Granville, O.. receiving an ed
ucation to fit her for the new station she has
assumed in life.
