Liberal Interpretation of Five
Per Cent.

A somewhat verdant looking indi-
vidual called on a jeweler in Montreal,
and stated that he had managed to
accumulate, by hard labor for the past
few years, some seyenty-fve dollars,
that he wished to invest in something,
whereby he might make money a little
faster; and he bad concluded to take
some of his stock and peddle it out.
The jeweler selected what he thought
would sell readily, and the new peddler
started on bis 6rst trip. He was gone
but a few days when be returned,
bought as much again as before, and
started on his second trip. Again he
returned. and greatly increased bis
stock He succeeded so we'll, and ac-
cumulated so fast, that the jeweler one
day asked what profit he obtained on
what he sold Well, put on bout
five per cent. The jeweler thought
that very small profit, and expressed.

" / don't know as / exactly understand
about your per cent, but an article

Sweetllearts and Wives.


1ou are all apt to complain (writes
a lady, addressing her own sex) that
lovers, when they become husbands,
cannot mite the two characters Yon
lay this mostly TO the mems charge. -
Do you think it is their fault entirely {?

you why Before marriage yon take
the greatest pains to elevate your
selves into goddessee, and desire to be
worshiped accordingly Men, espe-
cially those possessing superior intel
lectnal qualities and refinement OF
nature favor these views, and treat
yon as something nearer 10 heaven
than themselves; and 10 no sooner
has the honeymoon passed than your
husbands discover, BY imperceptable
but sure degrees, that you are Of the
"earth, earthly Happy the woman

her married life, the same halo shall
surround her in her husbands eyes
that existed before their unioni The
thing, in the intimacy of commonplace
every day life, may be difficult, put is
by no means immossible to achieve.
Your own neglect of all those cares
and arts by which you won the lover,
causes commonly the early estrange-
ment of the husband.
How frequent is the spectacle OF
neat, scrnpnlous maidens, who, when
they become wives, neglect their per-
sonal appearance and who, if asked
why they do so, would answer: 10, Pm

their care and trimness formed no part
of their natures but was cage, a
trap, spread for the lure and destruc-
ton Of men. Pretty Mrs. SIP der

Look out for the Women.

Young man keep your eyes open
when you are after the women. IF
you bite at the naked hook, you are
green. If a pretty dress or form so
attractive or pretty face even p
Flounces, boy, are of no sort of con-
sequence. A pretty face will grow
old Paint will wash out. The
sweet smile Of the flirt will give way
to the seowl Of the termagant. A far
different being will take the place Of
the lovely goddess who smiles and
cats your sugar candy The coqnette
will shine in the kitchen corner, and
with the once sparkling eve and BEAM

boy, when You are after the women.
If the dear is cross and scolds at her
mother in the back room, Won may be
sure yon will get particular fits all
over the house. IF she bushes when
found at domestic duties, be sure she
is Of the disbrag aristocracy-lit
breeding and great deal less sense.
If you marry girl who knows moth

Hints to Young Ladies.

e.s
Mrs. George Washington WHY'S,
in Life Illustrated. offers the following
good hints to young ladies':
Don't sit down to your crotchet
work or embroidery unless You have
first mcnded that hole in your stock
ing. No use crowding it under the
heel.of your shoe--rags like murder,
will out and they speak with terrible
loud voices sometimes.
Don't undertake to write skim milk
poetry when yon feel little disposed
towards enthusiasm. Go and do
Ia kind action or speak an encouraging
word to somebody, ifthe feeling must
have vent Depend upon it. you'll
be better satisfied afterwards
Don't pretend to be angry because
gentlemen hare the audacity to look
ut you when yon promenade Broad
way IN yonr best bonnet What do
yon go there for, if not Co be seen /?
The more yon affect Indignation the
more the offending wretches won t be-
lieve il.
Don't pay thirty or forty dollars for
the aforesaid bonner, and then complain
that Pa" is in such narrow circum4
stances you can't afford to give TWEEN

Don't eat blue and yellow candies

at a pine apple cheese, and then la
ment because you havn't any appetite
for dinner.
Don't keep gentleman waiting a
half an hour, when he calls, while you
put on lace and ribbons, and arrange
curls; he isn't fool, whatever You
think ON the subject, and will probably
form his own ideas upon your original
appearance.
Don't run and hide, like frightened
rabbit, when gentleman puts his
head into the room when you are
sweeping or busting. If there's any
thing to be ashamed of in the business,
why do you do it?
Don't proclaim to the world that
you can't do without six Paris bonneta
in year, and that life would be q
burden without an opera box and dia-
monds, and then wonder that the
young men sheer off -
And above all, when some one does
propose, don't say no, when You mean
yes He may take you at your word.
If you follow all these precepts, you
may one day succeed in getting mar
ried, aad that, you know, is the sum
nit of ambition.

A Ian dlord Outwitted.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press, relates the following anecdote
of one of the citizens of Lock Haven,
Pa. Ben. w Morrison is the person
spoken of, and is said to be one of
those free and easy, good natured, hui
morous fellows, that are always ready
to crack a joke or perpetrate a sell. y
Some fifteen years ago Ben was
travelling in Butler County on profes.
aloral business The roads were toll
erably bad, and, worst Of all, the
stage driver and the landlord Of a GER
tain hotel, where they stopped for din
ner, had an understanding with each
other something like this: the passen-
gers were to be taken into dinner, and
when cleverly seated, the coach would
fnriously dash up TO the door, and the
driver wonld call for his passengers,
stating that he could not delay a mo-
ment on account of making his time
They would rush ont, leaving their
meals half finished, for fear OF being
left For the half finished meal they
were charged half . dollar. The Wet
ualS were kept for the next load Of
passengers, when the SHINING process
was repeated
Ben had heard Of this place, and
when they arrived at the hotel he sat
his wits to work tos.se if he could
get full value Of his money. The bell
rang for dinner, and the crowd rushed
in. They had hardly got comfortably
seated when the stage refined up at the
door, and the driver voeiferonsly
shouted
/" Passengers all aboard Can't wait
but FIVE minntean
A general rush was made, but Ben
sat STILL and ate his dinner very COM
posedly. The stage drove off and left
him, but he seemed 10 care very little
about it.
Having disposed of his dinner he
was enjoying thelngnry OF along nine,

Flowers.
The season Of flowers il at hand.

The season of flowers is at hand. -
Already the buttercup and the dande-
line begin to peep from their grassy
couches in the meadow, and the hya-
cinth begins to struggle with the fro
zen clods of the garden. These. are
but the forerunners of the roses, and
the other heralds of springs enthrone-
ment upon the ruins of winter, and
signalizers Of her nndisputed sway
This is the beautiful season of which
q poet has sung
'.Ths voice Of spring and blushing flowers
Lean trembling from their seats,
Wooing from sunbeams and from flowers
A free exchange of sweetsn
The love Of flowers always indicates
q hopeful spirit, as they themselves,
semblemize hope. To urge their cHl-
tivation, is the special purpose we have
in view Anybody can have flowers,
if he has a spot where the sunlight
and the breeze can pay their visits.
If there is no garden spot, there may
be window sill on which to place the
potted plant, or SOW the seed from
which it springs. And so, even where
art has so sadly crowded out nature,
as in our great cities, she cannot al
ways deny the boon Of flowers to the
poorest of the poor.
When we observe flowers in dwell
ing places, no matter how humble--no
matter how uninviting the locality or
how dilapidated the house, I'VE ex-
pect to find cleanliness and and gen.
eral domestic care. IF there be chill
dren also, we expect to find them
clean, though clothed in patched gar
ments. Flowers and filth are seldom
foundin company If vicious habits
have dwelling there, we expect TO
discover some redeening traits. Utter
degradation, no more than utter filth,
claims the sweet companionship of
/ flowers

Proportions Of the Human
Figure.

The proportions of the human fg-
nre are strictly mathematical. The
whole figure is six times the length of
the foot. Whether the form be slen-
der or plump this rule holds good
Any deviation from it is a departure
from the highest beauty Of proportion
The Greeks make ali their statues ac-
cording to this rule The face from
the highest point Of the forehead where
the hair begins, to the end of the
chin, is one-tenth of the whole stature.
The hand, from the wrist to the end
of the middle finger, is the same
The chest is fourth, and from the
nipples to the top of the head is the
same, From the top of the chest to
the highest point of the forehead, is a
seventh. If the length Of the face,
from the roots Of the hair to the chin,
be divided into three equal parts, the
first division deterInins where the eye
browS meet, and the second the place
of the nostrils The naval is the Gen.
trail point Of the human body, and if q
man should lie on his back with his
arms extended, the periphery Of the
circle which might bs described around
him, with the naval for its centre,
would touch the extremities of his
hands and feet. The height from the
feet to the top of the head is the same
as the distance from Que extremity to
the other when the arms are extended.
These are the general measures Of the
species

CURIOUS HISTORICAL FACT. Dur
ing the troubles in the reign of Charles
/, country girl came to London in
search of place as servant maid
but not succeeding, she hired herself
to carry beer from a brewhouse, and
was one of those called tub women -
The brewer observing q good looking
woman in the low occupation, took
her into his family as a servant, and,
after short time married her; but he
died while she was a young woman,
and left her the bulk of his fortune. -
The business Of the brewery was drop
ped, and to the young woman was
recommended Mr.. Hyde, as skillful
lawyer, to arrange her husbands af-
fairs Hyde, who afterwards the
great Earl of Clarendon, finding the
widows fortune very considerable,
married her. OF this marriage there
was no other issue than a daughter,
who was afterwards the wife of James
IT,, and mother Of Mary and Anne,
queens of England.

Ventilation.

Suffocation in rooms for want of air,
is a kind of asphyxia which slowly
kills many thousands in the country
and city. Rarely does so rapid and
direct a calamity ensue as that which

ertson CATER. on the Hamilton and
Strathayen Railway Himself, wife,

PA. Whag furnishes that paper with
the particulars of the following incl

It occurred few weeks ago, on the
line Of great internal improvements in
that State
At the point on this side Of the
mountain, where occurred the tranship.
ment of passengers from the West was
moored canal boat, waiting the ar
rival of the train before starting on
their way through to the East. The
captain of the boat---a tall, sunbrown-
ed rough, and sometimes .profane. man
stood on his craft experimenting
the labors of his men, when the cars
came in, and dozen minutes after, a
party of half a dozen gentlemen came
along and deliberately walked mp TO
the captain and thus addressed him :
Sir, We wish to ge East, but onr
progress to-day depends upon you. =
In the cars We have just left. there is
a sick man whose presence is disagree
able. We have been appointed a
committee by the passengers, To ask
that yon will deny this man passage

rather slow delivery, which was the
occasion of an amusing scene in the
Lunatic Asylum. He was preaching

of a man condemned to be hung, and
reprieved under the gallows He
went on to describe the gathering of
the crowd, the bringing out of the
prisoner, his remarks under the gal

preparation to let fall the platform,
and just then the appearance in the
distance of the dust recovered courier,
the jaded horse, the waving handker-

Disappointment.

Passing through life We find its dis
appointments about as detachable as
the fogging which the bad boy re-
ceives, and which is designed to pre-.
vent future naughtiness The6ogging
we condemn; it depfaves, making the
moral sense callous. But the dissp-
pointment Of our hopes is of greet
service to us.
When just about to realise ths hopes
on which we have fed for months, per.
haps years, to find them false. leaving
the heart empty, as if the earth sank
beneath US, and if Heaven retreat at
the same time, our condition Is indeed
pitiable.
He who in disappointment sets down
beneath it, aggravates the misery ten
fold.
Disappointment can be 30 net as 60
promote our welfare more than would
have been done by the fnlfllment Of
our hopes. The most valuable lessons
of practical life are drawn from it's
disappointments. If with quiet spirit
we receive teachings as they unfold
themselves to US, new aspects Of life
are shown, and latent joys spring into
activity, of the existence Of which we
never dreamed.
Disappointment multiply our re-
sources and enrich our hearts. Our
lives would be sterile without them.
They come from the benifcence Of
God. Life illustrated.
