The " Tom Boy"

Some persons seem still to entertain the no.
ton that young girls need no training except
that OF the mental faculties; that their forms
are of less consequence than their dresses; and
that development of physical strength would
impair their delcacy, and tend to make them
masculine. By restricting their physical edu-
cation and limiting their sphere OF activity, they
are condemned for life to enfeebled health, and
an amless, idle existence. Let such parents
ponder the truth embodied in the following re.
mark, which we cut from the HOme Journal :
" The "Tom boy" is an eager, earnest, i'm
pulsive, bri9ht-eyed, glad-hearted, kind souled
specimen of the genus .(eminOe. If her laugh
is little too frequent, and her tone tri1e too
emphatic, we are willing to overlook these for
the sake Of the true life aud exuling vitality to
which they are the " escape pe-valves;" nd in
deed we rather like the high pressure nature
which must close off its superfuous "steam ;"
in such ebulIitiOns. The glancing eye, the
glowing cheek, the fresh, balmy breath, the
1.-the and graceful play OF the limbs, tell a tale
of healthy and vigorous physical development
which is natures best beauty. The soul and
the mind will be developed also in due time,
and we shall have before us a woman, in the
highest sense of the term.
When the "Tom. boy" has sprung up to
heaIthful and vigorous womanhood she will be
ready to take hold of the duties of life, 10 be.
come a worker in the great system of humani-
ty She will not sit down TO sigh over the
q work given for her to do,' to simper nonsense,
langush in ennui, or fall sick at heart-but she
y i'll ever be able TO take up her burden of duty.
In her track there will be sound philosophy -
In her thoughts bnldncss and originality, in her
heart heavens own purity, and the "world
will be better that she has lived in it, To her
allotted task, she will bring health, vigor, en-
ergy, and spirits, and those will give her both
the power and The endurance, without which
her life must be, in SUMO respects at least,
failure.

PrOvidential Deliyorances

A lady had very studious son, who was in
the habit OF sitting up for hours TO read, after
hls family had retired to rest to this, as he sat
IN the drawing room, not practising the da niger.
Gus custom of reading in bed, his mothers did
not particularly object. The young man, too,
was careful, and up to a certai in period she had
no apprehension for the safety of the house
One night, however, her spirits became much
depressed-a strong conviction possessed her
mind that her son had gone TO bed, leaving the
candles burning on the drawing room tatle !:
and though she had long retired to her cham
Der, something irresstby impelled her to 90
down stairs and see; and she had no sooner
opened the drawIng-room door, than she behcld,
TO her utmost horror and alarm, a great body Of
fire occupying the centre of the room! She
summoned assistance; and, thus detected in its
earliest stage, the confagration was happily ex-
tinguished ere much mischief had been done
but it had indeed arisen from the young student
having left the candles lighted, whose long,
blazing and talow-saturated ed wicks had dropped
down the sides of the candlestick, and fired the
books and papers which lay on the table. The
house must have been burnt down, had not the
threatened danger been discovered IN time but
who, we ask. prompted the lady to do that this
night, which, cOutiding in her sons carefulness,
she had never done before "A young lady lay
down in her bed one night, leaving Fer candle

coming to extinguish it; she fell asleep

The Severe Shock Of Earthquake in
California,

1t is mentioned that severe shock of an
earthquake was felt al San Francisco, and in
other sections of California, on the morning OF
the 26th of November. The San Francisco
Herald thus describes it:
AT twenty seven minutes before one O'Clock
yesterday morning. our city was visited by one
OF the most violent shocks of earthquake that
mas been experienced since California came in
TO American possession. 1t was preceded By
deep rumbhng noise coming from the north.
east, which sounded al if heavily loaded teams
OF wagons were being driven furiousy through
our streets. This was Immediately succeeded
by prcmOnitOry shock, instantly followed by n
sill heavier one, which lasted bout ten or
twelve seconds. An intermission of some five
or SIX seconds ensued when q third shock, much
heavier and more prolonged than the second
succeeded, raising the fears Of0ur citizens to a
painful degree. The motion was undulating,
and from northeast to southwest, and the solid
earth moved as if suddenly converted into
ocean waves. The alarm was universal. and
anxiety was depicted on every face, TO know
whether nature would continue in convulslon or
sink back to her usual rest
The effect on the tenants of our la reee hotels
and tall brick buildings was electrical Ladies
and gentlemen hurrlcdly rushed from their beds,
and, without waiting for ineXprcsSbes or cri.
Moline, ran tranticaly into the entries and pas
sage ways, crowding the different modes of
egress. Dogs barked with fear, and even The
horses in the stables exhibited upmisla bile
symptoms OF dread In most residences the
bells were violently rung, while the crockery
and glasses kept up a lively gathering clocks
suddenly stood still, and articles of furniture
seemed as if inspired by Terpsichore. After a
careful inquiry we have been unable to learn
of any serious damage, except that occasioned
through excessive tear. A considerable por-
tlon of the cornice and plaster in the United
States District Court room was thrown down,
and many other buildings suffered in the same
way. The City Hall was violently sha KEN and
some OF the plaster knocked down. Cracks and
rents of considerable size have made their ap-
pearance III number of our large brick build
Ings, but, beyond these incidents, we learn of
no serious disaster. The repeated vsitat,ons
of this kind to which we are subject, would
seem to Indicate a more prudent method OF
building than that which has been pGrsued-
Brick houses should not exceed two stories in
height and should have broad foundations aud
thick, well cemented walls.
The shock was also very sensibly felt at
Sacramento, Stockton and Petalumr.

The BENFFICIARIEs OF DIVORCE LAws-The
Chicago Tribune thus classities those unhappy
persons who seek Indiana from abroad for the
purpose of finding relief under the divorce laws
OF this State:
NraSs widows, with whom husbands would

woman could live; strong minded men, who

ard desk, gave them up to the robbers who
stood at the door. The old man slept peace
fully and calmly, thus guarded by his child, who
softly shut the door, and demanded if the rob.
bers were yet satisfied.
The leader replied that they should be when
they had got the show of plate spread out be-
! low, but that they couldn't let her out of sight,
and that she must go with them. In compll-
ancc with this mandate, she followed them down
stars to the dlnlng-rOOm, where a splendid
wedding breakfast had been laid, TO save time
ond hurry on the morrow. To her surprise, the
feilOws-eight in number when assembled
seated themselves and prepared to Ike good
meal. They ordered her to get them out wine,
and cut her own wedding cake for them; and
then, seated at the head of the table, she was
compelled to preside at th!s extraordinary
revcl.
They ate and drank, laughed and jokcd and
Adelaide, quick OF ear and eye, had thus time
10 study, III her quiet way, the figures and
voices of the whole set.
When the repast was ended, and the plate
was transferred to a sack, they prepared to de-
part, Whispering together, and glancing at the
young lady. For the first time AdeIaiIe's
courage gave way, and she trembled; but it
was not a consultation against her they told
her that they did not wish to harm hcr-that
she was "'J"ly wench, reg lar game," and
they wouldn't hurt her, but lh2t she must swear
not to give an alarm till 9 or 10 next day,
when they should be off all safe. To this she
was, of course, obliged to assent, and then they
all insisted on shaking hands with her. The
noticed, during this parting ceremony, that one
of the rnians had ouly three fingers on his
left hand.
Alone in the dispoled room, Adelaide, ainl
and exhausted, awaited the first CLEAN Of day.
tight; then, as the robbers did not return, she
stole up TO her room, undresscd and fell into
disturbed slumber. The CONSERVATION of the
family next morning might be imagined; and
Adelade's story was stIll more astounding than
The fact Of the robbery itself Police W re sent
for from London, and they, guided by Adelaide's
lucid description of her midnight guests, actu-
ally succeeded in capturing every one of the
gang, whom the young lady had no difficulty in
identifying and swearing to, the three finger
ed Jack" being the guiding clew to the dis.
coyery. The stolen property was nearly all
recovered, and the old rector always declared,
and with truth, that be owed his life to the
,elf-P"ssession and judgment Of his eldest
daughter.

Wind, well worked!

/
Wind, well worked
| EVERYBODY knows the Latin proverb common
y used to express utter unproftabeness-UOr
et Preterea nihiL--(voice and nothing else)-
ana, as an instance of how truth may become
falslhed, let us see how this ancient axiom
agrees with the market for voices in more mod
ern days. "MaIibran receives in London, for
every performance ut Drury Lane, seven hum
dred and fifty dollars. Lublachc, for sinrinp
twice, seven hundred and fifty dollars and for
single lesson TO Queen Victoria, two hundred
ana ninety dollars. At a SOiree in London Gris
received twelve hundred dollars Paganini
charged four hundred dollars lesson. Hum
mel left fortune of seventy-five thousand dol
lars' and twenty-six diamond rings, thirty four
snuil-boxes, and one hundred and fourteen
watches, which had been presented to him at
various times. In modern days musicians are
quite as extravaganty paid. Alboni and Mario
get four hundred dollars every night they sing;
Tamberllk every time he sings a certain high
note demands five hundred dollars Madame
Gazzaniga was paid five hundred dollars night
recently IN Philadelphia. Herr and Thalberg
each made about sixty thousand dollars in this
country. Lagrange at Rio Janeiro, is now re-
ceivng princely salary; and Piccolomin
costs her manager over five thousand dollars
month. AT the Italian Opera in Paris, for the
present season, NJ. Calzado, the manager, pays
as follows: To Tamberlik, for seventeen re.
presentations, eight thousand dollars; Alboni,
two thousand two hundred, for seven represen-
tatlons; Mario, fifteen thousand dollars for a
season OF five G.onthS; Grisi, five thousand for
two months; Madame Pence, fourteen thousand
for the season; the Grlziani Brothers, fifteen
thousand four hundred Corsi, baritone, four
thousand; Galvani, three thousand six hundred; |
four thousand Zccchini, three
thousand six hundred; Mile de Puda, three
thousand four hundred. The chorus and or.
chestra cost, for the season, seventeen thousand
six hundred.
