Domestic Faults.

A writer thus speaks Of the fatal influence
of small faults on the peace Of households:
Homes are more often darkened by the
continual recurrence of small faults than by
the actual presence Of any decided vice.
These efils are apparently of very dissimilar
magnitude yet it is easier to Grapple with
one than the other. The Eastern traveller
can combine his forces. and hunt down the
tiger that prowls upon his path-but he can
scarcely escape the mosquitoes that infest tho
air he breathes, or the Aeas that swarm in the
sand he treads. The drunkard has been
known to rcnounce his darling vice the
slave to dress and extra,agance. her bcsetting
sin-but the waspish temper, the irritating
tone, rude, dogmatic manners, and the hun
dred namelcss negligcncics that spoil the
beauty of association have rarely done other
than proceed till the action of disgust and
gradual alienation has turned all the currents
of affection from their course leaving nothing
but a barren track over which the mere skel-
cton Of companionship stalks alone.

Sensible Talk.

That never'll do, young man! No
use to stare on the sidewalk and whine
about hard luck, and say that everything
goes against you. You are not half the
consequence that yourtalk would lead US
to believe.--you are like all the rest OF
us-a mere speck upon the earth's sur
face. Were you this III oment TO 90 down
in the living tide, but bubble would lin
ger for a moment upon the surface; and
even that wou!d vanish uDnoticed. The
heart is full Of hope and ambition but is
not missed when it ceases to beat. One
such as you would not leave ripple.
You are coward-a coward-in the
battle. There's no fight in you. You
have surrendered without a struggle,
aud now whine because beaten You
are not yet worthy of triumph, for you
have not yet earned it In garret, put,
and dripping cellar, are ten thousand he
roes who would put you to shame. They
must toll ur starve. The strife is des-
perate one with them for they wrestlc
with want, while ragged and despairing
ones watch at the lone hearth the contest
Strong men look death in the eye when
their sinews are strung by the wall of
hungry childhood.
Shame on you! In the full vigor of
health and manhood, no mouth but your
own to fill, and no back but your own to
cover, and yet crouching under the first
scourging of adverse fortune. You know
nothing of the storm, for you have seen
but the summer. One cloud has frigh-
tened you and you think you are hardly
delt by. You will be lucky if you find
no darker shadows acrost your path.
Stand up, young sir, pull your hands
from your pockets, throw off your coat,
and take fortune by the throat. You may
be thrown again, but hang on. Put away
the nonsense that the world is against
you. --'Taint so. Your destiny is in

Nice Girls.

.Thtre is nothing 'half SO sweet in life,"
half so beautiful or delightful or lovable, as
mice girl" Not a pretty, or dashing or
an elegant girl, but nice girl; one of those
lovely, lively, good tempered, good hearted,
sweet faced, amiable neat, natty domestic
creatures met within the sphere of "home,"
tluence of her goodness, like the essence of
sweet fl ,wers.
a nice young girl is not the langushing

last novel or opera; no the girale-like crea-
tures sweeping majestically through draw

is not given to 'sensation;" she is too busy.
| Al. the opera, she is in front, showing her bare
shoulders but sits quiet and unobtrusive-
at the back of the box most likely
In fact, it is not often in such scenes that we
discover her. Home is her place.
Who rises betimcs and superiniends the
morning eals? Who makes the toast, and
the tea, and buttons the boys shirts, and wat
ers the flowers, and feeds the chickens. and
brightens up the parlor and sitting room
Is it the languisher, or the giraffe, or the ec-
gante Not a bit OF it; it is the nice girl
Her unaided toilet is made in the shortest
possible time, yet how charmingly it is done
and how elegant her neat dress and plain
collar. What hearty kisses she distributes
among the family no presenting Of cheek or
brow like the fine, but an audible smack
which says plainly, love you ever so
much" If ever coveted anything, it is one
of the nice girls kisses.
Breakfast over, down into the kitchen to

tended by such fair hands.
One of the most strongly marked charac-

ciated in my mind with high frock, plain

with the most modest little brooch in the

or who wore. low dresses, or splended bon

half so beautiful, half so ntrinsically good as
'nice gri." She is the sweetest flower in
the path of life. There arc others far more

merely admire as we 90 by. 1t is where the
daisy grows that we lie down to rest.
