"Atno other time does gentleman
appear to such advantage as when presid-

the more fascinating gentlemen one meets
in society are men of family. The man
who reserves his sour moods for home
who boards up the spleen which he dared
not wreak on strangers, for the domestic
circle who slams the front door till the
whole house quivers--who snatches off his
beaver, and tearsoff bis coat with agrowl,
and bounces into the room with a sharp
snarl--who tosses poor pussy off her
comfortable cushions for sheer spite, and
kicks Ponto tillhe fairly yells with pain,
but, oh! especially the man who never

singular ornaimne,,n.
A brooch worm by tho Count

A brooch worm by tho Countess Of
& has recently been the subject Of
conversation among the eminent company
OF Polish nobility who are now exile in
Paris. Encircled by twenty brilliants
upon dark blue ground Of lapis lazuli
and protected by glass in front may be
: seen--What? A portrait? A lock Of
hair? No neither the one or the other,
but only four bent pins wrought together
in the form Of q star, The history Of
this singular ornament is contained in the
following communication: The Count
K was, some years ago, in his own
country suspected Of being TOO much in
clirfed to politics, and WIS conseq quently
one night without examination or further
inquiry, torn from the bosom Of his fam
lily by Iolice officers. conveyed TO for
tress in distant part Of the county. and
thrown into damp, dark dungeon. days
weeks, months passed away, without his
being brought to trial. f'- =
20 The unhappy man saw himself robbed
Of every succor. In the stiffness Of death
and the darkness Of tie grave, be left not
only his strength failing him, but also his
mind wandering An unspeaking anguish
took holdupon him. He, who feard not
to appear before bis judges now trembled
before himself. Conscious Of his danger,
he endeavored to find something to relieve
himself from the double misery ofidleness
and loneliness, and thus preserve him
from terrible insanity. Four pins,
which accidentally happenedto be in bis
coatbad fortunately escaped the notice c!
his goaler.e Those were 10 berthe means
Of deliverance to lIis spirit. He threw
the pins upon the earth which alone was
the floor Of his gloomy dungeon-and
then employed himself in seeking for
them in the darkness. When, after
tiresome search, he succeeded in finding
them he threw them down; and SO, again
did he renew his voluntary task.

Intentionally Scattered. This fearful yet
beneficial recreation continued for six
years. Then at last, great political
event opened suddenly the doors Of his
prison. The count had just scattered
his pins, but he would not leave his cell
without taking with him the little instru.

madness. He foundEthem, for now

AS the Count related this said story to

relics; and now .setin frame Of brilliants

The Way to spoil Girls.

spoil daughters, II can be easily and readi-
ly given. and can be proved by Il e expe:

cacious. la e@ YNt'flhHtf
l. Be always telling her, from her earl
lest childhood, what beautiful creature
she is. 1t is a capital way Of initiating the
vanity Of little girl to be constantly ex-
claiming show pretty' Children UNDER
stand such Aattery, even when in the
nurses arms, and tho evil is done the
character in its earliest formation.
2. Begin as soon as she can toddle
around to rig her up in fashionable
clothes and rich dresses. Put hoop on
her at once, with artificial adornmcnts Of
founces and feathers, and flowers, and
curls. Fondness for dress will thus be-
come prominent characteristic, and will
usurp the whole attention Of the youth
immortal and be a long step toward spoil
ing her. s.. ......t tt..
! 8. Let her visit so much that she finds
no happiness at home, and therefore will
not be apt to stay there and learn home
duties. II is capital thing for a spoiled
daughter to seek all her happiness in Wis
iting, and change Of place and associates.
She will thus grow as useles as modern
fashionable parents delight that their
daughters should be.
a. Let her reading consist Of novels Of
the nauseating sentimental kind. Shewill
be spoiled sooner than if she pursued his
tory or science. Her heart will be occu-
pied by fictitious scenes and feeling, her
mind filled with unrcaities; and her aims
placed on fashion, and dress, and romantic
attachments. tdE'lf
ai5 Becareful that her education gives
her a smattering Of all the accomplish
ments. without the slightest knowledge Of
the things really useful in life. Your
daughter won't be spoiled SO long as she
has a real desire to be useful in the world,
and aims at its accomplishment. If her
mind and time are occupied in modern ac-
omplishments, there will be mo thought
of the necessity and virtue ofrbeing of
some real use to somebody prevailing her
heart, and she will be coon ready as a
spoilsd daughter. at ii
Asa consequence, keep her in profound
ignorance Of all the useful arts Of house
keeping, impressing upon her mind that
it is vulgar to do anything for yourself or
to learn how anything is done in the
house. A spoiled daughter never should
be taught the mysteries Of the kitchen
such things lady always leaves to the
servants. Itwould be vulgar for her to
know how to dress trout or sbad, to bake,
to wash, TO iron, to sweep, to ring the
neck Of live chicken, pluck itand pre-
pare it for breakfast, or do anything that
servants are hired to do. AS a mistress
of house, it is her duty to sit on a vel
vet sofa all dav, In the midst Of pyra-
mid of silks and flounces. reading the last
flesh novel, while her domestics are per.
forming the labors Of the house.
10 complete the happiness Of ycur
spoiled daughter, marry her 10 a. bearded
youth with soft hands, who knows as lit
lie how to earn money as she does to save
it. Her happiness will be finished for her
lifetime. --Harttord Courant. 81

BINGEN ON THE RHINE.

There was lack of woman's nursing
There was dearth of woman's tears,
But comrade stood beside him,
While his life-blood ebbed away,
And bent with pitying glances, 0
To hear what he might say;
The dying soldier faltered,

And he said, "l never more shall see
NY own, my native land
Take message and token I'D ".
To some distant friend of mine,

AG Bingen on the Rhine. 4t
Tell my brothers and companions,
When they meet and crowd around,
To hear my mournful story,
In the pleasant vineyard ground,
That we fought the battle bravely- -.5
And that when the day was done,
Full many a corpse lay CHASTITY pale 2.
Beneath the setting sun; .,r
And midst the dead and dying,
Were some grown old in wars
The death wounds on their gallant breasts,
The last Of many scars;
But some were young, and suddenly
Bcheld life's NON decline, l, t..
And one had come from Bingen-
From Bingen on the Rhine.

My heart leaped forth to hear him tell,
Of stLggles fierce and wild; sr..
And when he died and left US,
To divide his scanty board,
! let them take what'er they would
But kept my fathers sword;
And with boyish love hung it
Where the bright light used to shine,
On the cottage walls at Bingen--
Calm Bingen on the Rhine.
Tell my sister not to weep for me,
And sob with dropping head
When the troops come marching home again,
With glad and gallant tread
But to look upon them proudly,
With calm and steadfast eye, @s
For her brother was soldier, too. q

And if comrade seek her love, 1881

Without regret or shame; Hn
And to hang the old sword in its place,
My fathers sword and mine,
For the honor of old Bingen-
Dear Bingen on the Rhine.
There's another-not sister
In happy days gone by,
You'd have known her by the merriment
That sparkled in her eyes;
Too innocent Tor coquetry-
Too fond for idle scorning;
Oh, friends, fear the lightest heart
Makes, sometimes, heaviest mourning,
Tell her the last night of my life !
(For ere this moon be risen,
My body will be out of pain,
My soul be out of prison,)

The yellow sunlight shine
On the vine.clad hills of Bingen--

The German songs we used to sing,
In chorus sweet and clear;
And down the pleasant river,
And up the slanting hill,
The echoing chorus sounded,
Through the evening calm and still;
And her glad blue eyes were on me,
AS we passed with friendly talk, rsa
Down many path beloved Of yore,
And well-remembered walk;

A CANDID OPINION.

The following brief but forcible sentences,
give most vivid description of the virtues of
the great party which has rested like an iucu-
bus upen our country for some years past Some
of these Southern fire. eating papers have so
mucb of the actual cantiug in them, that they
do not care to mince matters even when speak
ing OF their friends. 1t is from the Charleston
Mercury, and ought to be esteemed as good au,
thority.
"We have seen nothing in National Demoe-
racy of late years which challenges our admi-
ration, to say nothing of our allegiance.
1t has THRILLED with constitutional proyis-
ions, DISREGARDED constitutional restric-
lions, and set at nought positive constitutional
iDjuctious.
1t has AIDED in the passage of unjust and
unequal laws.
1t has SQUANpERED the public money,
ROBBED the common Treasury, and to FOR
ElGN PAUPERS given the public lands.
It's PROMISES have been BROKEN,
Its PLEDGES disregarded, and
Its professions FALSIFIED.
To conclude the whole matter, National De-
mocracy is CORRUPT, vacillating, and
FALSE; it wears the garb of sauctity that its
hldeous deformities may be concealed; it goos
but to ruin, and wins but to DECEIVE.'

AUDITOR GENERAL.

Mr.. EEIToR: time will soon arrive
when the selection of two candidates for State
offices, to be voted for the coming October, ac-
cording to usage must be made; several gen
tlemen of the opposition party being aspirants
for the responsible position, and whilst donot
desire to offer any objection to either of the
worthy candidates, my object is simply to call
the attention of the public and members Of the
approaching Convention to the claims of Bed
ford County in the person of her late aud most
excellent Senator, Hon. Fr. Jordan, for the Of
fee of Auditor General. Mr.. Jordan, as Sem
ator, was found to possess great business quail
ifcations, sound Judgment and spotless honesty;
in my opinion be is fully competent to dis
charge all the duties of the Office with credit to
himself aud benefit to the State, and whose
good qualities enttle him to as much couside-
ration as any other gentleman brought to the
notice of the Convention, aud would greatly
please his many friends in this section of the
State. JUSTICE.
The above is from gentleman who is init
mately acquainted with most of the leading
public men of the State. He proposed new
name, but gentleman of marked ability and
integrity.

Extraordinary Circumstance.

A NAN DYING TWICE "A man died in the Seven
teenth Ward day or two ago, who might be said
to have died once before, and been recalled to life
by singular circumstance. He had suffered for a
long time from consumption, and grown weaker
aud weaker, and more and more attenuated, until
he could not stand or speak. lie felt that ho had
but few days to live and made every preparation
for approaching dissolution. His wife watched
beside him, and one morning he beckoned to her TO
put her head to his lips, when he whispered, Il am
going, Jane,' and took her hand.
A slight spasm passed through his frame; dead
ly paor oyerspread his face his eyes rolled up
ward, and the rattle of death was heard in his
throat. AT that moment his wife screamed, and he
started up with new vigor, and asked family; sWhy
did you do that Why did you not let me die ia
peace?
From that moment he began to recover and grow
stronger, and in a month was enabled to leave bis
bod and work at his trade. He lived tor nearly two
ears after that strange event. but finally was at
tackled with return Of his old complaint and died
after an illness of three months.
This is very singular instance, but entirely
true, and would seem to show that the soul of the
dying man was called back by the voice of a living
heart, fingered fol while longer ere it left kindred
nature to battle with the world alone.-Cfncinaati
Enquirer.
