A Difficult Question Answered.

Can any one tell why. when Eve was
manufactured from one of Adams ribs, a
hired girl was not made at the same time
to wait on her? We can, easy! Because
Adam never came whining to Eve with a
ragged stocking to be darned, collar
string to be sewed on, or a glove to mend,
right away, quick, now ~ Because he
never read the newspapers until the sun
got down behind the palm-tr and then
stretching himself, yawned out, '.Ain't sup
per most ready, my dear?" Not he he
made the fire, and hung the tea-kettle
over it himself, we'll venture and pulled
the radishcs, peeled the bananas and did
everything else he ought to. He MIXED
the cows, fed the chickens, and looked af-
ter the pigs himself. He never brought
half dozen friends to dinner, when Eve
hadn't any fresh pomegranates, and the
mango season was over? He never stayed
out till eleven o'clock to s'ward meeting
hurrahing for an out-and-out candidate,
and then scolded because poor Eve was
sitting up and crying inside the gates He
never played billiards, and drove fast
horses, nor chokcd Eve with cigar smoke.
He never loafed around corner groceries,
willie solitary Eve was rocking little Gains
cradle at home In short, he did not think
she was especially created for the purpose
of waiting on him. and wasn't under the
impression that it disgraced man to light
en- his wife's cares a little That's the
reason that Eve did not need hired girl,
and we wish it was the reason that none
of her fair descendants did.-Ldfe Itusfd-

story run faster than in Arabia.
just as the wounded were leaving the
encampment, a tumult of many voices
reached us, and at the same time, notwith-
standing the bright moonlight, the air light
ened with bright glow, like that of some
great confagration-fo the people of the
town were coming toward US with shouts
of ioy, in a great torchlight procession, the
Nagib and his chief men at their head.
..Hadii," said the Nagib, advancing to-
wards me, Il thank you for the care YOU
have bestowed on this child, who is rel
ative of mine and one tendcrly loved by
her family.
Then, calling to him the young Arab who
had saved her, he asked him what lie was.
Il am nothing but poor rakka,'' was
the reply.
Good !" continued the Nagib eyou
have just claim upon my gratitude. |
here constitute you one of my chiefs, nor
will fail to furnish you with the means of
figuring creditably among them and fur
thcr you are from this moment the af1ianc-
ed husband of her whom you have snatched
from death, who shall be your wife if it
should please Allah to spare her until she
comes of age"
''Allah be praised and preserve our
Nagib!" said the young man.
Allah be praised and preserve our
Nagib - repeated the people
And then a band of music, consisting of
all the amateurs of the town, made tie air
vibrate with the sound of their instru-
ments.
-Four or five litters were constructed On
the spot, upon one of which the young girl
was placed, and her deliverer on another.
They made me get upon one also and on
the others which followed in our train, they
drew along the dead panthers and their
cubs, the latter contributing their squall
to the loud cries of the popuaee. Thus
we moved forward in triumphant process
ion :; the music first, the Nagib and his
chief following it and then the litters, for
the honor of bearing which on their shoul-
ders the crowd fought and struggled The
people brought up the rear, uttering shouts
of joy, blessing Allah, and praising the
courage of the young man. and the good
ness of the Nagib, who had so nobly re-
warded him.
In this order we proceeded from the en-
campment towards the town, lighted by
about as many torches as there were peo-
pie, for nearly every one of our followers
carried one in each hand. The procession
took its way through all the streets of
March, and the night was far advanced
when all this improvised festival was brought
to a close. ...

A few days since three girls about six
teen years of age. were arrested for rob
bing a man at saloon in the vicinity of
Merrimac street The leader of this par
ty, N intelligent and very pretty girl, ask
ed that good lawyer be sent for, saying
she had plenty of money to pay the best
of counsel The names Of several legal
gentlemen were mentioned, and among
others that of an eminent criminal lawyer,
who resides in another county, but has
an Office in Boston. She at once said she
did not want him, as she krew him.
This attracted the curiosity of the officer
to whom she had made the request, and
he instituted inquiries about her, and learn
ed that the girl was an orphan, and the
lawyer whom she did not want to see, her
guardian, having charge of considerable
property in another city. She ran away
few weeks ago, and her whereabouts up
to that time was not known She came di.
rect to the city. and has frequented haunts
of vice at the West end. She was taken
before the Police Court, convicted of the
robbery. and sentenced to the House ot
Correction ior six months Subsequently
upon learning something of her history,
the Court revised her sentence, and the
case was continuedi in order that plans may
be adopted with 4 view of rescuing hel

EDUCATION OF THE SExEs.-Girls are toe
frequently early taught deceit, and they
never forget the lesson. Boys are more
outspoken. This is because boys are in
structed to be manly and generous
while their sisters are perpetually admon
ished that "this is not pretty" or 'stbat i
not becoming until they have learned tc
control their natural impulses, and to reg
ulate their conduct by preeepts and exam
pie. The result of ali this is, that while
men retain much of their natural disposi
tions, but too many woman have made-uI
characters.

Mr. LincoIn's Foresight.

One of Mr. Lincoln's biographers relates
an interesting instance of his political sa-
gacity. He had triumphantly answered
that set of interrogatories which Douglas
had calculated would crush him, and had
made up his r1ind that bis antagonist
should be presented with a collection
His plan was to compel him by public
interrogation to repudiate either the bred
Scott decision or the doctrine Of unfricrdfy
legislation in the territories. Before the
discussion commenced at Freeport, Mr.
Lincoln informed his friends of his intcn-
ton. They unanimously counseled him to
abandon his purpose, s'for,' said they, eff
you put that question to him he viii per-
ceive that an answer giving practical force
and decision to the Dred Scott decision in
the territories inevitably loses him the bat
tie, and he will therefore reply by affirm
ing the decision as an abstract principle
but by denying its practical application. !"
But" said MIR. Lincoln, ''if he does that
he can never be President" His friends
replied "that is not your look out, you are
after the Senatorship." No, gentlemen, )"
said he. Il am after larger game. The
battle of 1860 is worth hundred of
this!'' From the day Mr.. Douglas promul-
gated his doctrine Of 'unfriendly lcgisla-
tion'' to save himself in Illinois, he was
doomed man in all the South, and the
''battlc in 1860" was won for the Repub-
licans, though Mr.. Lincoln of course could
not know that he was to be their gallant
leader.
