Of taking up an elderly lady and a sickly look
ing little girl. In the car we're ten females, |
FIVE on a side, and the seats will carry nine. |
Every inch Of room seemed occupied, for the |
of the car were fashionably dressed, |
and their skirts expanded like peacock's tails. |
No one offered the old lady q seat, or made
room for her, or seemed to care whether she
was tired or rested. For a moment the old
lady scanned the faces Of those before her, and
then she smiled grimly at the want Of cour-
tesy which characterizes females Of the present
age.
"I say, you," tho old lady exclaimed, nudg-
ing the knee Of the nearest female and point
ing to the little girl.
"Did you speak to me ," demanded tho
astonished female, on her dignity immedi-
ately.
"Why, yesl 1 want to knowif you would be-
lieve this little girl jist come out Of the ship
fever hospital at Deer Island"
Ten hands, delicately gloved, were raised to-
ward the bell-strap, and ten voices were shrilly
raised for the car to stop, and in less than one
minute the old lady and the girl had the vehicle
to themselves.
"Wall, Declare" exclaimed the old lady,
"I forgot TO tell 'em that there warn't any pa
tients there sick with the fever. However, I'll
let 'em know 1t the next time we meet. Take
a seat, dear, and make yourself at home"
The conductor was somewhat astonished on
that trip.
DEIRYINa THE FEMALE SEx.-Rev. DIR. AL
exander, in his recent volume of Sermons, ut
ters the following solemn warning:
What horrid fraud Satan is practicing on
the Church in regard to the daughters of the
covenant In fashionable circles--dare name
them Christians-the years whore girlhood
merges into maturity are frequently sold to the
| aHvaraary Tho Amarioan IL
taught to deem herself a goddess. If there be
wealth, If there be accomplishments, if there
| be beauty, almost a miracle seems necessary to
prevent the loss Of the soul. Behold her pass
from the pedestal to the altar. The charming
victim is decked for sacrifice. Every breath
that comes to her is incense. Her very studies
are to fit her for admiration. Day and night
the gay, butwretohed maiden, is taught to think
of self and selfish pleasures. Till some Lenter
fashion of solemnity interrupt the whirl, thu
season is too short for the engagements. Grav,
parents shake their heads at magnificent appa
rel, costly gems, night turned into day, dance
at which the Romans would have blushed, pal
cheeks, bending frames, threatened decay; an'
yet they allow and submit. And thus that sex
which ought to show the sweet, unsel6sh limo
cency of holy youth, is carried to the over
heated temples of pleasure. Thus the so-calle
J Christian verifes the Apostles maxim: ash
, that liveth in pleasure, is dead while sh
liveth."
THE FEMALE TEMPER.-No trait Of charaC
ter is more valuable in q female than the po!
session of sweet temper. Home can nevt
be made happy without it; it is like the flower
, that spring up in our pathways, reviving an
cheering us. Let a man go home, wearied an
= worn out by the tolls Of the day, and no
soothing is word dictated by good dispos
ton 1t is sunshine falling upon the hear
He is happy, and the cares of life are forgo
ten. A sweet temper has q soothing inhuent
over the minds of tho whole family. When
is found in the wife and mother, you obser,
kindness and love predominatiDg over the ma
ural feeling of bad heart. Smiles, kir
n words and looks characterize the children, al
= peace and love have their dwelling theI
a Study, then, to acquire sweet temper. 1t
: more valuable than gold, and captivates mo
than beauty, and to the close of life retains
d its power.
COURT FLATTERY.-The celebrated astron
b mer and natural philosopher, DR.. Augu
: writes to the Vossiche Zeitung of the birth
. the Prince, since whose advent Queen Victor
is o grandmother:
4 "While the jubilant voice of thanksgivi
! was ascending to Heaven, the constellati
:, known to astronomers under the name
= Frederick's Honor and baptized so in I
y memory of old Fritz, of Prussia, stood in I
" zenith of Berlin. This extraordinary coin
i denoe of the heavens took place at the ext
- moment of the birth of the young Prin,
:. Half an hour later, another constellation, t
~ Stars in Crown and Sword eliminated, t,

n worth groat, this infant must, at least,

" RECIPE FOR MATRIMONIAL HAPPINEsS.-P
a. serve the privacies of your house, marrit
D. state and heart, from father, mother, aunt o
~ ~ all the world. You two, with Gods help, bu
IN up your own quiet world. Every third
IN fourth one whom you draw into it with
IT. will form a party and stand between you t.
OF That should never be. Promise this to ei
na other. Renew the vow at each temptati
~ You will find your account in it. Your SO
no will grow, as it were, together, and at
they will become as one. If many yor
pair had on their wedding day known this
" cret, how many marriages were happier Il
they are!
