How the Americans are Spelling tn
Carnival at Rome.

How the Americans are Spelling the
Carnival at Rome.
Mr.. Bigelow, of the New York Evening
Post, writing from Rome, says:
But of late, and this year in particular,
Rome has become so thronged with strangers
from England and America, and their equip
ages in the carnival occupied so large pro-
portion of the Corso, that so near as 1 can
learn, the festival has undergone some changes
which have rendered it not only less interest.
ing in itself, but what is more to be deplored,
less characteristic of the institutions of civii-
zation in which it had its origin. Formerly
confectionery and flowers used to be thrown
from one carriage to another, but for the most
part in complimentary spirit, and deriving
piauancy from the fact that the parties were
unknown to each other, and in this way were
holding an allowable intercourse, which on
any other day would be regarded as too fami-
liar.
But the Anglo-Saxon race do not seem to
have the faculty of enjoying this kind of sport
legitimately. They take the advantage of the
privileged character of the day to annoy those
they meet, and make them ridiculous. They
throw confetti with violence if they see a
black hat in the street, or anything that will
be discolored by their artillery, they will take
the utmost pains to soil it as much as possible
have even seen them go so far as to bend
forward and deliberately throw a whole hand
full of confetti violently in the face of ladies
casually crossing the street, and taking no par
whatever in the sports of the occasion. Sucf
ill-breeding is rarely, don't know but may
say never, traceable to the Italians. 1t is
feature which the .torestieri have introduced
here, am told, and which will soon efface thu
last trace of one of the oldest and most inter
esting institutions extant.

The Art of Putting Things.

Don't you know, my reader not unversed in
the ways of life, that it depends entirely on how
the story is told, how the thing is represented
or misrepresented, whether your conduct on
any gwen occasion shall appear heroic or RI
diculous, reasonable or absurd, natural or af-
fected, modest or impudent And don't you
know, too, what vast number of ill-set peo-
pie are always ready to give the story an un-
favorable turn, to put the matter in a bad
light; and how many malicious intention, are
prompted by their love of fun, in relating any
act of any acquaintance, to try to set it in a
ridiculous light? Your domestic establish
ment is shabby or pretending, elegant or taw-
dry, just as the fancy of the moment may
lead your neighbor to put the thing. Your
equipage is neat little turn out, or shabby
attempt, your house is quiet or dull, yourself
genius or blockhead, just as it may strike
your friend on the instant to put the thing
And don't we all know some people-not bad
people in the main-who never by any chance
put the thing except in the unfavorable way
Some people have happy knack for putting in
a pleasant way everything that concerns
themselves. Mr.. AS son gets poor place
as bank clerk his father goes about saying
that the lad has found a fine opening in bust
ness. The young man is ordained, and gets
curacy on Salisbury plain his father re-
joices that there, never seeing human face,
he has abundant leisure for study, and for
improving his mind. Or, the curacy is in the
most crowded part of Manchester or Bethnal-
green the father now rejoices that his son
has opportunities of acquiring clerical expe-
rience, and of visiting the homes of the poor
Such mans house is in well-wooded coun-
try the situation is delightfully."- Sheltered
He removes to bare district, without tree;
ah there he has beautiful pure air, and ex-
tensive views. 1t is well for human beings
when they have the pleasant art of putting
things; for many, we all know, have the art
Of putting things in just the opposite way
They look at all things through jaundiced
eyes; and as things appear to themselves, so
they put them to others. You remember,
reader, how, once upon a time, David Hume,
the historian, kindly sent Rosseau present
of a dish of beefsteaks. Rosseau fired at this ,
he discerned in it deep laid insult he put it
that Hume, by sending the steaks meant to
insinuate that he (Rosseau) could not afford to
buy proper food for himself All have
known various Rosseaus. They had not the
genius, indeed, but they had all the wrong
headedness.

her desire of taking passage down the river
Immediately the "duds'' were under way,
and fast coming on deck, when a man plow-
ing in an adjacent field was seen to drop the
reins, mount his horse, and come charging
and yelling towards the boat. The captain

To Unmarried Ladies.

The following items of advice to the ladies'
remaining is singleblessedness, are extracted
from the manuscript of an old dowager
eff you have blue eyes, languish
If black, affect spirit.
If you have pretty feet wear short petit
coats.
If you are the least doubtful as to the point
wear them long.
If you have good teeth, laugh once in a
while.
If you have bad ones only simper.
While you are young sit with. your face to
the light.
When advanced, sitwith your back towards
the window.
If you have bad voice always speak in a
low tone.
If you have fine voice, always speak in a
loud tone.
If you dance well, dance seldom.
If you dance i'll, dance often.
If you sing well, make no puerile excus-
es."
When you pass young man whom you
take fancy to, stare him out of countenance
with smile
When introduced to a young gentleman,
present him your hand.

Good Night have to say Good Night

Good night to graceful rounded arms,
Good night to fond delicious eyes
Good night to chestnut braids of hair,
Good night unto that perfect mouth
And all the sweetness nestled there
The snowy hand retains me, then

But there will come time, my love,
When, if read our stars Alright,

With my adieus. Till then, good night!
You wish the time were near? And l.

A Woman on the Sickles Case.

Ihe North Iowa Times contains letter
from lady-a sister of Lydia H. Sigourney
commenting upon an editorial in that pa
per IN relation to the killing of Key, in which
it was said that Sickles could not have lived
had he not have taken vengeance on the willy
scoundrel who had robbed him of his position
and disgraced his name" His correspondent
had supposed that mans virtue was in
herent, part of his nature, and not simply a
reflection of the virtue of his wife," But she
infers from the editorial alluded to, that "when
Mr.. Sickles went to Congress, his position, his
honor, depended upon the chaste behavior of
Mrs. Sickles, his wife, and she an Italian at
that The beautiful woman was captivated
by the graces of a handsomer man than her
husband, sins, is discovered, and exposed
and Mr.. Sickles, the only innocent person in
the affair, shoots Mr.. Key, not for betraying
his wife, but for dishonoring him!" This
she pronounces "egregious selfshaess," and
continues as follows:
ut is strange how differently our sexes are
constituted. Women survive these disagree.
able developments every day. IfMr. Sickles
had hired this assgnation house, and met
Mrs. Swizzles, do you think Mrs. Sickles
would have gone out to shoot the faithless
crinoline who had stolen her husband? No,
sir! Women do no such foolish things; and
why? Because, if we are virtuous we have
confidence in our virtue, and we feel that no
dereliction of the husband can or ought to
affect the virtue of the wife. But suppose on
some fine Sabbath morning all the women in
Washington who suspect their truant lords
should sally out, swords and pistols by their
Sides to chastise the dear creatures who had
stolen their affections, would not this mark an
interesting epoch in history9"
The following shows what woman thinks
of mans courage:
"And yet, this man, who could not meet
| the hollow shells of humanity that formed his
society at Washington until he had vindica-
ted his honor, must now meet the multitudes
at his trial-hear the coarse jeerings of un-
principled libertines- confront this wife whom
he magnanimously promised "not to injure +"
hear again and again, with exaggeration and
minutie, the whole history of his misery re-
vived-meet the wondering looks of his little
one turning from father to mother for an ex-
planation of this mystery, and in after years
be tortured by her recurrence to the first
chapter of her life's reality! If he can do all
this and dare to meet his maker at last with
the brand of murderer on his soul, and vet
could not meet the tallow-faced, mustached
puppies of his club-room, tell me, in Gods
name, in what consists the superior courage
of manhood?"

INVOCATION TO SPRING.
BY EMILE c. L. Chiffon.

Spring! thy work of wax ming ended,
Vanished winters gloom;
Why in climates less befriended,
Break st thou not the tomb?
Surely winter, cold and cherries,
Long hast played the King;
Call to life the gems that cheer US,
Lazy footed Spring!
Why beside the flowing waters
Liest thou III sleep?
Earth hath many sons and daughters
Who their tryst must keep
Waiting for the May-time roses
And their bridal ring;
While in Incidence reposes
Lazy-footed Spring.
Shades of long neglected duty
Wake those azure eyes,
Time il is their dreamy beauty
Gladden'd other skies,
Teach those fairy feet to wander
With the joys they bring;
There are no more hours to squander,
Lazy-footed Spring!
Thou hast checked these Southern bowers
With their summer screen
Woven garlands of sweet flowers
Spread thy carpet green
Waken'd chirp, and note OF sweetness
From each living thing;
Why 50 loath art thou to leave US,
Lazy footed Spring!
True, thy breezes soft perfuming
Thro' my window come
But no roses yet are blooming
Round my childhood's home
They are waiting for thy coming,
And the life thou'lt bring:
Cease, pray, this idle roaming,
Lazy footed Spring.

THE DRIFTING BOAT.
By FRANCES BROWN.

By FRANCES BROWN.
1t foated away rom beach and bay,
Out of sight of tower and town,
An empty and a battered boat;
But the boat would not 60 down.
The morning rose ON the waters wide,
And the night fell cold and dark,
Yet ever on with the wind and tide,
Drifted that shattered bark.
The sail had passed from its broken mast,
And its painted pride was dim,
The salt sea-weed clung round its bow
Which had been so sharp and trim.
Where were the merry mates and free
Who had gone with it atloat
We never learned; but the worlds wide Sc,
Hath lives like that drifting boat.
Lives that in early storms have lost
Anchor, and sail and oar,
And never, except on Lcthe's shore,
Can come to moorings more;
Out of whose loveless, truthless days
The hope and heart have gone;
Good ships go down in the stormy seas,
But those empty barks drift on!

: Great Lawyers.

The London Illustrated Neos thus begins
the biographical sketch of Lord Lynd-
hurst
at is fact to be remarked that all our
greatest lawyers are long-lived. On exami-
nation it will, however, be found that there is
nothing extraordinary in the matter. In order
to enable man to 60 through the amount of
work which alone can constitute a successful
barrister, you must presume physical con-
stitution of iron, capability of adapting his
habits to the requirements Of his calling, and
an organization in which the nervous system
is not to predominant. The demands in one
who undertakes to reach the woolsack or the
bench are perfectly understood, and have
been reduced topithy phrases, such as Lord
Eldons, "that a barrister must live like a
hermit and work like horse ;" or the cynical
aphorisln, that to be great lawyer or good
Judge you must have bad heart and good
digestion. There are few instances in which
successful advocates at the English bar have
for period triumphed by the mere force of
energy and will over deficiencies of bodily or
ganization but it has been almost invariably
found in these cases that one day they un-
expectedly broke down and never recover

"For had rather in the woods
Work hard at chopping logs,
Or take Western farm ON shares,
And live by raising hogs.
"For as wish to see and smell,
Icould not feel to prize
A chance to go to Washington,
And lose my nose and eyes"
"What!" said the crowd, "you're jolly green
Or else perfect fiat;
Who ever went to Washington,
And made a loss like that?"

Gymnastfcs.

The "fever" of the young men in Boston
now days is gymnastics. A Boston letter
writer says:
Gymnastic are just now the chief physical
recreation of Young Boston. They supply
the place which billiards seem to monopolize
in New York. There are half dozen or more
gymnasia on or near Washington street, which
are we'll filled at all hours of the day and eve-
ming. A large gymnasium for the use of the
college students soon to be erected at Cam
bridge, on the Delta, now so famous for foot
ball contests. Probably the atlantic Monthly
is somewhat responsible for the gymnasium
fever, which is not wholly without fatalities,
some unfortunate and daring gymnast being,
every little while, subjected to the painful ne
cessity of mending broken leg or so.
