SHARP YouNa LADY.-A clerical friend,
while visiting us few days since, related
the following anecdote Of Rev. Jedediah
Burchard, revival preacher, which is ''too
good to be lost" Burchard was hammer
ing away At the sinners in the town of Or
well, in Vermont, and, as usual, made more
converts than he did Christians. A certain
young lady was regular attendant upon
his ministrations, bnt stoutly resisted his
most seductive eloquence. Meeting her one
morning in the hotel, he approached her
with the situation #S
.sGood morning, thou child Of the devil"
sGood morning, father" she replied.
tits needless to say that the by ISLANDERS
relished the retort. Burchard took it in
good part, and laughed long and heartily.

THE TWO CRADLES.
"Wont you make my doll . cradleP'
Said little girl Of six;
''My cousin Tommy made me one,
But 1t II out offx,
And want to have nice one,
Made Of little willow sticks"
No mechanics heart e'er nuttered
With more exulting throb
Than mine did at this order,
And time can never rob
My heart Of its strange ecstacy
On taking home the job.
That "cousin Tom"-I know not why
never could abide
felt strange uneasiness
To see him by her side
And to win her undivided SMILES
Unremittingly tried.
Since then dozen howry springs,
In Times unceasing roll,
Have laid their hands on Mary's brow
Their impress on her soul;
And I've another cradle made,
But tits not for her doll.
I cannot tell you how il WAS
I'm sure never tho ought,
When but boy of ten years old
That first rude job wrought,
That we should want another one,
But SO 1t has turned out.
OF the two cradles, and she
Have oftentilnes conversed,
And she declares the last one made
Is clumsiest and worst,
But believe she likes It better
Than she did the first.

@"L Let women remember, while putt
ting on their profilse and expensive attire,
how narrow are the gates of Paradise"
Ezchan0s.
There are two reasons why the preceding
oracular sentence, which is now going the
| -e>au.<a. ee the papers, will fall short of con-
veying any very solemn impression to
women generally-one is that they do not
expect to carry their attire with them to Par-
adise andthe other, that we do not certain
~ know, in 4 material sense, how wide or
how narrow the gates of Paradise are
Such an effort to give a figure of speech the
significance of fact, destroys its force al
together, and makes it lose the importance
it would otherwise have. The popular idea
that well dressed people are necessarily
wicked, worldly, and given over to evil and
selfshness, is very absurd. We have seen
quite as much pride, arrogance, se1f-wil1,
envy, jealousy, hatred, and all uncharita-
bleness, beneath "poke" bonnet and plain
calico dress, as was ever concentrated in the
gayest founces, and most expensive crino-
line. 1t is very well known that people who
adopt plain and scant attire as sort Of
uniform, pride themselves quite as much OH
that, as fashionable lady on having OBJ
tanned the "latest style" ahead of any Of
her friends. A Quaker lady will search all
day, as we have witnessed, through piles of
silks and satins for the desired shade of
drab, or brown, and when it is found, if the
texture is not the finest, the gloss the soft
est and smoothest, it is thrown aside with
disdain, and the search commenced over
again. Did no one ever witness the proud
humility, the self-congratulatory smile with
which "cottage' bonnet, trimmed only
with plain green or brown ribbon, looks
askance at little mass of lace, feathers and
flowers, which is supposed to bar its wearcr
from participation in all future bliss. And
yet, perhaps, the heart which Eeats beneath
the silken stomacher is quite as loving and
womanly as any, and instead of throbbing
with pride, trembles alta consciousness of its
own unworthinsss.
We cannot see why, at proper times, and
when it can be afforded without injury to
others, taste in dress should not beindulged
just IS much As taste in horses, in gardens,
in pictures, in houses, in anything which
gratifies our love for what is beautiful, and
Symmetrical. The instinct of beauty and
love of variety is natural and universal, and
it is only when he supersedes other and
higher obligations and duties, that it be-
comes wrong. We are sick of seeing this =
constant harping on women and their dress,
while men waste, spend, and speculate away
hundred dollars to woman's one while
they smoke, and chew, and drink and swag-
ger, and wear steeple hats, and padded coats,
and starch enough tn render all the angels
in heaven perpendicular as pieces of whale
bone. What should we think Of seraph
dressed in straight back coat, stiff collar,
tall beaver, and cravat starched to the last
degree Of impenetrability. Is that a CO.'S :
tune in which any man expects to ascend
to Paradise ?--Reckt ford Ne,cs. se

nails-of pieces Of bone-of slate pencils
and even of tobacco pipe; yet he obtained
some really wonderful results, curing some
very bad cases Of disease. DR.. Anderson
employed sham Tractors made Of wood, and
produced such effects upon Ave patients
that they publicly rendered thanks at
church for their cures. One Anne Hill suf-
fered for months with pain in the right arm
and shoulder. Wooden Tractors were en-
ployed, and in the space Of five minutes,
she expressed herself relieved in the fol-
lowing apostrophe: "Bless me! Why,
who would have thought it, that one Of
them little things could have pulled the
pain from one! Well, to be sure, the long
er one lives, the moro one sees. All, DEAR"
Thus, after Royalty had been duped, States
men confoundcd, men of science 00twitted,
and pious clergymen made to believe lie,
by . little investigation the fog was cleared
away, and all that Was LEFT Of Tractoration
was host of metslcities. Yet, this fog
appears again from time to time, in our med
ical atmosphere. but in 30 many forms that
but few recognize it. Galvanic Belts, Mag
netic Ointment, Magic Fluid, Sarsaparilla,
and Pain Extractors, are all delusions, and
could the host Of Clergymen, Congressmen,
and other prominent men that sign recon-
mendations, but know the component parts
Of the nOstrwms they puff, the blush would
come to their faces, and the patent medicine
man would find few less customers among
those who pass for sensible men.
