The UNTIDY GIRL.-Tbe untidy
girl leaves her things scattered about
her room. She never has a place for
anything or il she has she does not
keep anything in its place. She leaves
a thing where she happens to be using
it. Her room Of course is all confusion.
If she wants anything she never knows
where it is, bat must hunt until she finds
it; and thus much precious time is
wasted. If she goes into smother room,
what ever article she lays her hands
upon is misplaced. She never thinks of
putting it where she found it; but eth
er throws it carelessly down, or puts il
in the wrong place. II she goes into
the library and takes down book, she
either puts it up in different places,
and thus disarranges the shelves, or she
lays it down OIL the shelf in front of the
other books, for her father or mother to
arrange; Or il she puts it in the right
pace, it is turned the wrong end, or the
back is put inward Her school books
a Q torb aud dirty disfgured with pen
Gil marks, blots of ink, grease spots,
finger prints and dogs ears and if she
borrows book from the library, or of Il
friend, it is returned with some Of these
marks upon it.
Ii she goes into the kitchen, she will
be sure to put the tidy house keeper in
to passion; for whatever she lays her
hand upon is out Of place Nor doe:
her person appear to any better advan.
,agc. Her dress is adjusted in bad taste
1t seems to hang cut Of shape. Yor
would say that her garments were flung
upon her, and you feel an inv"lunta'
anxiety les. they should fall IF You
do not perceive precisely what is Tho
matter, but there is an evident want o
ncatness and taste. Her hair wears tho
same air of negligence; her face offer
discovers tie lack Of soap; and her fin
ger nails and teeth want attention
These are only few of the effects Of
untidy habits The habit ence formed
will run through everything. And th'
untidy girl will make an untidy woman
| the un'idy woman will make an untidy
house aHd an untidy house will spoil
poor husband. A man of taste canuo
enjoy himself where everything is out o
order, and he will seek that pleasure
abroad which be fuds not at homo.

THE PULpIT.-Strikc out the pulpit
from society, and leave the other prom
!nent structures related to human ideas
passions and tastes, and see not only il
one element is not missed, but if the
crowuing glory Of civilization is not rent
away. You leave this state house whore
laws arc made but lhe idea OF God, the
Great Ruler is goue, and men eau take
no cath that binds them TO reflect in
their statues tic equity Of His perfect
law. You leave the court room but
no sentiment looks up from It's sancity
to Him who guards the right, rovenges
trampied Innocence, punishes the per-
jurer, aud will dispense perfect justice
yet to every son Of Adam. The unl
versty is left; but truth cannot be
taught there as the expression OF an in-
finite intellect, or as subeG dinatc to a
consecrated will ; for human thought
has risen above the dream Of God, and
there is nothing higher than ones self
which our nature can revere. The con-
cert room may remain but all penitent
and prayerful plaiutiveness of melody,
and the surging joy of religious graft
tuln and triumph, the accent of sacred
hope and the praises of holy love,-all
that makes the glory of music in orato
rio, anthem and symphony,-would be
lie for man would be fnlte crea-
ture, and have no right to the emotions,
the rapture and the praise which gusl'
towards the Infinite, and with which
now the highest music swells. All that
is graded in human nature, and in cv'
ery line of crcativencss acknowledges
the church and the pulpit as its crown
ing sanction and clearest Interpreter.

WATER CuRE.-Tbe Hartford Timesl

WATER CURE.-Tbe Hartford Times
gives an amusing account of a case Of
Water cure in Saybrook. Mr.. Dash
and Mr.. Brace were neighbors. Mr..
Brace called very often afterN Dash,
and they have been seen to 60 home
very weak about the knees. Mrs Dash
protested against such conduct, aud ex-
pressed her opinion that if Mr.. Brace
would keep away, Mr.. Dash would re-
main at home about his own business
Mr.. Brace was, therefore, politely re-
qucsted to stay away, but refused, and
continued TO entice Mr.. Dash from home
as often as twice week, and matters
continued an descending scale. Flu
ally when Mr.. Brace appeared with his
pocket pistol, charged 10 the cok with
liquid powder. Mrs Dash, aud her
daughter Miss Dash, made dash AT him
with the broom handle. After a sufii
cient pummclipg with this feminine
cudgcl, Mrs. Dash brou ght in three full
buckets of cold water, and soused him
from head to heel, while Miss Dash held
him in her tiger grip. Full half bar
rel was bus caused to trickle down his
c,rcass, until he made a sudden spring
aud goi away. lie showed more strength
aud sprightllnrss than be ever exhibited
when the spirit moved him. Miss
Dash followed him giving him ablow a
every bound, till he cleared II high fence
Both he and his friend Dash have sine,

have signed the Temperance pledge! !

presence Of Mr.. McLeod's murderer,

ed through my mind like lightning, and
| Immediately Mvined that this Julia
Leroy was no other than Helen Morris,
aud after she bad written her name, |
was certain that such was the case. Why
such an idea should have entered my
head, l know not, it appears to be. in

That same night Julia Leroy made a
confession. 1t appeared when she was
a girl. Mr.. Mcleod had become ac.
quaiuted with her and by his willy arts
effected her ruin. She lived with him
some timo, and then he deserted her,
and it was then she wrote the letter |

time she lived only to accomplish her
purpose, and after lapse Of some years
obtained IN introduction into his family
She waited for twenty years until a ia
vorable opportunity occurred to put her
scheme into execution. At length the
time seemed come. She obtained eup'
ply of cbloroiorm, and first rendered
Harvey Johnston insens bic by it's inAu.
ence, and before Mr.. Mcleod bad time
to give the alarm she too his life 10 the
manner before referred to by means of
bowie. knife, which had fallen from
Johuston's pocket, as he fell. She
used the latter weapon in preference to
the one with which she had provided
herself, as being more likely to fix sus
picion Oh the young map.

and only save herself from an ignomin-
ious death by taking poison.
About three months after the events

A STORY OF JACK KNIFE The
Boston Ledger tells the following: In
1856 youth, then residing in NJ Inc,
owned jack knif,, which, he, leng Of
somewhat trading disposition, sold for
a gallon Of Yves, India rum. This he
, eIailcd, and with the proceeds purchas-
ed two gallons, aud eventually barrel,
Which was followed in due time with a
large stock. In word he got rich, :,
and became the Squire Of the district
through the possession and sale Of the
lack knife and an indomitable trading
industry. lie died worth property III
real estate aud money value for $780,
600. This was divided by testament
among four chidreu-ihree boys and a
Girl. Luck which seemed to have been
the guardian angel of the father, deser,
ted the children every folly and ex-
,ravagancc they could engage in seem
ing to occupy their exclusive attention
aud cultivation. The daughter married
unfortunately and her patrimony was
soon thrown away by her spen thrift OF
husband. The sous were no NOR,
fortunate, and two of them died OF dlssi'
patton and in poverty. The daughter
also died The lat Of the family iol
many years past, has lived on the kind
ness Of those who knew him in the days
of prosperity, as pride would not ALLOW
him to 90 to the poor farm. A few days
ago he died suddenly and unattended
IN barn where he had laid himself dowt
to take a drunken sleep. On his pock
cts being being examined all that wa
found in them was piece of string an'
jack.knilc So the fortune that be
gan with the implement of that kind let
its simple duplicpte. We leave the NOR
al to be drawn in whatever fashion
may suggest itself to the reuder, slmpI
stating that The story is true one, au
all the facts well knswn to many WHOM
this relation will doubtless reach.
