THE perfect human character as
sketched by poets, novelists, and fine
writer's in general, if universally imita-
ted, would wind up the race in two days
the supplies of life produced by imper-
feet characters were exhausted Were
all women to initiate the beautifM speci-
men of feminine perfection held up to
admiration, no shirt would be washed,
no cabbage cooked, and the world would
starve and rot in filth. The truth is,
there is work to be done. Dust on the
hands! Big muscular fingers! Sum
Drowned face! Kitchen smut and
smoke! Some one must work! Many
must toll. There is plenty for ALL to
do, and no one has right to live with
out doing something. And yet all the
perfect q models are but brilliant do
nothings. Away with all your moon.
shine which is reflected from another
body! And as man has both body and
mind, with powers and faculties, the
true man is he who uses both for some
beneficial purpose, By SO doing alone
can he develop faithful human charac-
ter, and grow up into genuine model of
Life, Truth, Beauty, Wisdom and Hap
piness Thus alone can he be healthy
in body and send his blood down
through healthy veins. Thus alone can
he elevate his spiritual nature to true
conception Of the Infinite Worker that
constructed the universe and is still
building.

KSow1Na Hrs MEs.-The sailors of tho
filibuster schooner Susan deserted before the
vessel got out of the bay. There were none
but landsmen on board, except the captain,
and it is traditional at sea that it is not easy
TO convert a landsman into sailor at short
notice. The sea dogs have phrases of their
own. which arc Greek to the others. To OBJ
viate this defect Captain Maury took novel
and ingenious expedient. Every man on
board, we suppose. knew how to play cards.
and the captain, taking advantage OF this
skill, tied card to each of the ropes OF the
vessel. The orders then ran somewhat in
this fashion; "Haul in the ace of hearts,,
"Let 60 the king of diamonds!" "Belay on
the deuce of spades!' &C. BY these means.
the extemporsed soon got the hang of the
fopes. and affairs went on pretty smoothly.

the ancient Hindoos tipped his arrows
with flowers; and orange buds are the
bridal crown with us, a nation Of yester-
day. Flowers garlanded the Grecian
altar; and they hang in votive wreaths
before the Christian shrine. All these
are appropriate uses. Flowers should
deck the brow of the youthful bride, for
they are in themselves a lovely type Of
marriage. They should twine around
the tomb, for their perpetaally renewed

They should festoon the altar, for their
