Worcestershire sauce, pungcnt aromatic,
Initiating, delectable compound for the table,
of which the above house are the sole agents
for this country. Ten years ago it was hard

discovered that it ''makes what's homely sa-

limitations which abound, it is a standard at

Two boys have just been arrested for rob-
bling their employers of $4,000 worth OF
jewelry. One pretended to have been gagged
and tied by the other, and was found in that
condition; but the officers suspected the truth,
and tracing the matter up, discovered not only
the young rascals, but the whole amount of
the property stolen. Their locality will pro
badly be settled for some time to come.
With the sharp weather of the week past,
winter and winter sports may be said to have
fairly commenced. Shaking by both sexes has
become more fashionable than ever before, and
the most extensive arrangements have been
made at the Central Park, on the new forty
acre pOnd for their accommodation A pond
for ladies has been provided, to afford them
on opportunity for learning to skate without
being subjected to the gaze of the crowd; huts
are erected and warmed so that children can
enjoy the scene; a system of signals, observ-
able from all parts of the city, showing when
pond is good order, has been arranged, and
other conveniences, adopted to make the Park
what it was intended to be great public
servant. A new style of skate, invented by
Mr.. E. Wirths, one Of our importers, will be
much used this year, and supplies an import
ant desideratum, the improvement consisting
of sort of leather shoe firmly fastened to the
Skate, whereby the feet are kept perfectly
warm. By means of a simple mechanical con-
trivance, the shoe is fitted to the foot before
leaving home, so that, arriving on the ice, it
can be instantly adjusted, and the fair skater
in few seconds is equipped for race. The
same improvement is to be applied to gentle
mems skates

WEAKNESS AND DEBILrTY.--All who suffer from
weakness debility, where there is want of

Mountain Herb Pills. They Immediately purify
the blood and act upon the handspring of life, Civ

TAKEN AT HIS woRD.-A few years ago
says the Schenectady Star, when it was the
custom for large girls and larger boys to
attend district schools, an incident took
place in neighboring town which is worth
One of the fairest and plumposl
girls happened to violate one of the teachers
rules. The master, prompt, energetic fel,
low of twenty FIVE, summoned her into the
middle of the floor. After interrogatug
her few moments. the master thundercd
out, "WilI you give me Jour handY' YES,
sir and my heart too" promptly replied the
girl, at the same time stretching forth her
hand to the master, and eyeing him with a
cunning look. A deathlike silence reigned
for moment in the school; tear was seen
to glisten in the masters eye; the ruler
was laid upon the desk, and the blushing
girl was requested to take her seat, but to
remain after the school was dismissed. In
three weeks after the school finished, the
teacher and the girl were married.

BOY LOVE,

bO1 LIVE,
Somehow, despite all that poets and 70,
mancers have said upon the subject, I don't
believe such thing as boy love really
exists almost doubt that it ever existed
There are no class of persons so utterly des
Cltute Of all romance and sentiment as those
youths just too big for jackets and altogether
too small for long-tail coats. At sixteen,
the brother of family is generally a sort Of
domestic bear, whom it is utterly impossi
Bile to coerce into anything like politeness
lie won't hand the cake or pass the tea, hc
wouldn't turn the music for Miss Smith if
you were to reward him with the Presiden
cy. He was never known to hand chair,
or make bow, Or utter remark to any
young female; he will do nothing, in fact
but sulk in corner behind the door, or
wish audiby in the next room that those
women folks would clear out"
That distant admiration, silent homage,
and hidden alteration, which is attributed by
so many misguided writers to the boy, isn't
in him and never could have been. He as
sociates all worAanbood outside of bis own
family with his last school teacher, an an
cient maiden and strict disciplinariau, ard
detests it accordingly. To boy, women
are perfect tigers; and yet, in every other
book you read you will fud young gen,
tleman of tender years introduced, who
contrary to all common sense or nature
nourishes an ardent passion for some young
lady whose years exceed his own, who
soliloquises by moonlight, indites sentimen
tai poetry, and makes himself generally mis-
cradle in the choicest possible language.
Don't believe in him, dear reader; tn,
boy from whom that character was drawn i
a myth. He is the child of Imagination
no boy of flesh and bones. Men never re
ally fall in love until they are twenty fou
or FIVE Girls brought up on sponge cak
and weak tea, do commit the absurdity con-
stantly, but boys are made of sterner stuff
and prefer marbles to courtship, and gam,
of ball to sentiment.

You " told him his lesson" but he laughet
