Silent Inf uleAceS.

Silent influences are continually about
us on every side, and they are quietly per-
forming their mystic work. Unnoted, in
secret the dilligent task goes on, till the
gigantic result in all the finished COM
pleteness Of master hand tha. never errs,
startles US into the belief that miracle
is wrought. Noiselessly, with untiring
vigilance, secret agents toll in natures
vast laboratory, and their grand and
mighty achievements awskeD our admi-
ration and awe. Stealthily. silently has
the mighty water changed it's course. and
where first but glimpse Of the silvery
sheet could be caught, the foaming bill
lows now roll and dance in their wild
sports: and terra fIma has arisen on the
other side far beyond, where but little
time ago, and the sheeny wave danced at
our very feet. The workings of power
unseen spreads from the tiny acorn to the
majestic oak. Atom by atom, grain by
grain, rock against rock, pile the lofty
mountains, whose cloud-curtained sum-
mits, clouded ir eternal SHOWS, pierce far
heavenward, "where the eagle builds not
his eyre, and the startled chamois fears
to climb" Within us, around us, on ell
ther hand silent influences toll on their
mystic mission, unvelling the destinies
of nations, solving the problems of worlds.
Separated from chldhood's hours and
friends, far out on the swelling tide, in
stern conflict with raging storms, that ever
assail the mariner on ''life's tempestuous
sea-" the silent influences Of gently
spoken precept in by-gone years comes to
US to soothe and calm the troubled spirit,
and TO incite higher, and nobler aspira-
tons. Yelling up perennial from the
record of departed years, a word. q look,
comes to us, when the lips that uttered,
the eye that gave, are closed and still, and
the freed spirit beyond E so ,5f5'e 'a

the welcome beacon, cheer the dark way,

Neatmess lin Dress.

The neglect Of the outward appearance.
indicates either a little mind, or a disre
gard to the opinion of our neighbors.-
One should always be neat and clean ii
person and dress, because this is an evi
dence of responsibility. No lady who hai
any regard for herself, or any respect fol
the society in which she moves, will be
slovenly in her appearance, or careless in
her attire. 1t is true, there is DANCE,
in being too particular, but every lady is
entitled TO follow her own taste as to dress,
provided she dresses suitably-that is, &C.
cording to her aye and circumstances.
The young of either sex, but parlicu.
larly the female, ought to regard their ex.
ternal department and appearance as, to a
certain extent, essential 10 character.
10 dress simply, and without ostenta-
ton, is mark of modesty; but, in endeav-
oring to avoid everything like display,
young ladies', especially, should be careful
not to fall into the opposite extreme-thal
Of prudery. There is more sincerity, il
there be less nicely, in the conduct Of a
realy, ,virtuous woman, than there is in that
Of a prude; and some degree of freedom,
SO far from being incompatible with the
strictest virtue, is one Of its principal priv
ileges. II a lady is obliged to receive
company en- dishabiHe it is a sign Of good
breeding if she appears perfectly at ease,
and makes little or no apology for her
appearance. 't'.'

Women in the Gartsem.

Much in these days is said about the
sphere of woman. On the vexed question
We have nothing to say. The culture o.
the soil, the body and the soul are oul
themes. Rich soils. healthy bodies, pure,
cultivated souls, those are what we are
aiming at. And 10 this end we recon
mead that every country woman have A
garden that she keep and dress with ber
own hands, or that she supervise and
manage. The culture of strawberries,
aspberries, blackberries, gooseberries,
currants and garden produce is as delight
ful and profitable as anything which wo-
man can engage in. She may sprinkle
her garden we'll with flowers. All the
better for that. A ow-bsll in this cor
ner rose in that, dahlia bed here, and a
moss border there will not be out Of place
Only let the substantial and useful consti-
tute the chief part. A touch Of the orn-
ale, like a ribbon on good bonnet, is not
the least Objectionable. In all the schools
the giIls study botany. In all families the
women ought to practice botany. 1t is
healthful, pleasing and useful. The prin-
cipies of horticulture are the principles Of
botany put into practice. Farmers study
agriculture, why should not their wives
and daughters study horticulture? Ifany
employment is feminine, it would seem
that this is. IT any is healthy, this must
be. If any is pleasurable, none can be
more 80 than this. A rich he'd of straw
berries, bush oil black berries or currants,
border of flowers produced by ones own
hand, what can well afford more rational
satisfaction? We say to all our country
sisters, have garden, if only small one,
and do your best with it. Plant it with
what you think best, with good variety,
and see what you can do with it. What
woman cannot raise beets, tomatoes, mel
ons, onions, lettuce, and furnish her own
table with them? What woman cannot
plant a raspberry bush, or currant, Or
gooseberry, and tend it well? Come,
good women, study your health, your
usefulness and happiness, and your chill

got INTO a quarrel yesterday, in conse-

snatched up brick, apd needless Of con.

The unfortunate individual who received
this salute toppled over and rolled off the

curiosity induced him to slide down TO the
