Foolish Virgins.

| "a In olden times there were "fpe foolisj
virgins. 1--WE are afraid that there are full
ly as many as that number at this prcsen
day. Some Of them were tboin foolish
some Of them were made foolish by th'
examples of their weak minded mothers
and some Of them have made themselves
foolish. t.
See that dashing belle. founced from
her heels to her arm.pits, and bedzenet
with jewelry, pearls, gems, and precious
stones. Her mother thinks her an angel
and she thinks herself an angel; but sht
is ''foolish vilgin"-that is all she is.--
he who made her endowed her with ar
immortal soul, and pointing her to. ar
eternal hereafter, said to her, "Let mol
your adorning be outward, the adornins
Of plating the hair, Of wearing gold, OF
Of putting on apparel, bullet it be the hid
den man Of the heart, even the ornament
Of a meek nd quiet spirit, which is in the
sight of God ofgreat price" But all the
adorning that this foolish virgin has is
outward. She has no solid education mo
mental culture, and no noble and gener-
Gus heart She is not qualified Tor any
usefulness in this world useless except
as a frame on which to exhibit dry goods
and the dressmaker's skill. ...
And when she shall appear before her
Maker, stripped Ct her outward adorn-
ing" and without that precious "orna-
ment of the heart" what miserable fig
ure that foolish virgin will cut. 1t is
awful to think Of the future Of these mere
butterflies Of fashion. What is she good
for? She knows not how to earn an hon.
est livelihood. She could not make loaf
Of bread, nor roast a turkey, nor bake a
pudding. She could not knit tidy,
though she often knits her brow, She
could not darn stocking, though she
could darn everything else. The most
simple article Of dress that adorns her
useless body she could not make. "Sbe
tolls not, neither does she spin, yet Solo
mon, in all his glory, was not arrayed
like her." She has very little mind
Her head Is well nigh as hollow as a yell.
low pumpkin. She can only talk ofthea.
tres, balls, fashion and beaux. Her NOR.
al nature is wholly uncultivated.
She spends more time in examining
fashion plates, than in examining her
poor little heart; moe time in reading
love stories than in reading the blessed
Bible. What on earth is she good for ?
She is bill Of useless expense to her fa-
ther, and a barren fig tree in the great
moral vineyard. The world would be
better of if this foolish virgin no longer
numbered the ground. And one Of these
days the scytbe ofTime will cut her down,
and the miserable flirt will 60 to her ac-
count. Girls, young women, consider
your ways. Have high and worthy
purpose. Make yourselves blessing to
this world. Abhor to be Flora M'Flm-
sey, as you would abhor TO be any other
fool. Be useful, be modest. be good, be
"wise virgins" and when the great BRIDE
groom shall come you shall go with him
to the marriage.

Her shnre ofthe Letters.

There is new town out in the North
west called Barton contraction Of Bear.
town., At this point post Office has
been established; the route extends some
distance beyond, and there are several off,
ces farther: on. Soon after the establish
mcnt Of the Office as Barton, the postmas-
ters beyond began to be troubled by
strange irregularity in the mails. This
week, one thing would be. missing; the
next some other package would be non est;
and quite often letters from B. would have
to be sent back. This state Of affairs..be-
came uncomfortable; and Agent Hall was
sent on TO investigate the matter. He
went straight to Barton, where he found
the post-office in the back-room ola little
grocery. 1t was about the time for the
mail to arrive, and he took seatin the
grocery, where plump andgood natured
woman well in years, and possessed Of q
"rich brogue," !" attended behind the coun-
ter, dealing out small quantities Of beer.
cheese, cakes, peanuts, etc, to compa-
ny ofloungers, who seemed to wait for
some event.
Hall bought quantity orpeanuts, and
treated the crowd to beer, bywhich course
be succeeded in removing all suspicious
which his decent garb had created against
him. Soon the stage drove up. the mail
bag was thrown out; the lady picked it
up, and retreated TO the back room, fol.
lowed by the crowd including Hall. who
blocked up the door, 4.
After opening the bag, and turning its
contents on the floor, the postmistress pro.
duced box and deliberately proceeded
to meature out a peck Of miscellaneous
matter from the pile on the floor. Hay-
ing done this, she commenced returning
the rest when Hall found his tongue.
"Why, what are you doing there?" he
contrived to stammer out. 'H'"' ''fa'
"Indade. !" said the nostmis,ress looL.
ing up, ''it's changing che mail that I
am.
"But how DO you know that you get
the right matter? Why don't you look
it over and select your own?"

A SONG.
ny ANNA MARIA wELBY.


Through the twilighrs purple glory,
have come back, Mary dear,eosl
Where was whispered first that story
OF my young love in thine ea';
Meath the hedgerows all in blossom;
SO well remember still,
Where clasped thee to my bosom
Ere we parted by the mill.
Oh, the same soft light was streaming
Through the clear sky's crystal bars,
But we needed not its cleaning. r..
For thine eyes outshonc the stars; .H
And thy checks and lip love.lighted,
Tomine own were pressed at will, i ~
Whore the troth wilhmine was plighted,
Ere we parted by the mill q o' llit.
HgeTslA W 10y .s..t rhus
Yet another twilight, Mary,
And the burning tale was told, '''
That the heart that could not vary .t
From mine own away was sold;
And the hands that should have pressed thee
In thine own lay pale and chill.
AS my lips tnc lasI time Diest tnee,
Ere we parted by the mill.
Yet they could not make me shun thee,
For saw thee dropping stand,
Where the strangers gold had won thee
From thy fathers sordld hand;
And thine eyes last look tho given
Through the tears thou could st not drill.
Hath been all I've known of heaven
Sincewe parted by the mill.
From my boyhood's scene rover,
/ have wandered far since then,
And with smiles my face masked over
In mine intercourse with men; ,'i.l "
For thy voice my slumbers filling T"
Asno living voice may fill,
Hath been angel pulses thrilling, i"'Ne
Stree we parted by the mill.
To the green grave where they've laid thee,
With the hedgcrow's bloom above,
l have come not to upbraid thee,
No, my first and only.love!
But my spirit hath sure token,
That thine own will meet me still,
Where thy gentle heart was broken,
Ere We parted by the mill. ial
