THE END.

The Two sExEs.--There is nearly
always something of natures own genti-
lity in young women, Except, indeed,
when they get together and fall a giggling
1t shames us men to see how much SOON
er they are polished into conventional
shape than our rough masculine angles.
A vulgar boy requires, heaven knows
what assiduity, to move three steps, | do
not say like gentleman, but like boy
with a soul in him; but give the least ad-
vantage of society or tuition to peasant
girl, and hundred to one but she will
glide into refinement before the boy can
make bow without upsetting the table.
There is sentiment 10 all women, and
that gives delicacy to thought and taste
to manner; with men it is generally &C
CURED, an offspring of the intellectual
quality, not as with the other sex, of the
moral.-[Bulwer Lytton.
The day book. [volume] (Norfolk, Va.) 1857-1867, 1860-03-26

YOUNG MEN AND TREE FROGS. The
following quaint comparison is forcible
and true. 1t would be we'll if our young
men would note the moral OF the terse
passage we quote below:
"Ihe tree frog acquires the color of
whatever it adheres to for short time
lift be found on oak it is brown color;
on the sycamore or cedar he is of whiteish
brown color; but when found on the
growing corn he is sure to be green. Just
SO it is with young men. Their compan-
ions tell us what their characters are; if
they associate with the vulgar, the licen-
tious, and the profane, then their hearts
are already stained with their guilt and
shame, and they will themselves become
alike vicious. The study of bad books,
or the love of wicked companions is the
broadcast and most certain road to ruin
that young mon can travel, and few
and well-directed lessons in either will
lead him on, step by step, to the gate of
destruction. Our moral and physical
laws show how important it is to have
proper associations of every kind, es-
pecially in youth. How dangerous it is
10 gaze on picture or scene that pollutes
Inc imagination or blunts the moral per-
ceptionsl'

SOUTHERN AID FOR THE NoTHERN
STRIKERs.-The New Orleans papers are
warmly advocating a flank movement
against Black Republicanism at the
North. One writer in the Delta says
''Let steps be taken to furnish these
northern mechanics with the necessary
means to escape with their families from
the slavery Of Abolitionism, to the free
dom and dignity of white men of the
South. Again say this would be a
practical REPUTATION of the Seward SIAN
der. By this prompt and generous act
on the part of the South, we would Gre
ate an important political diversion
among the people of the North against
the iree-negro policy Of England, estab-
lish direct sympathy between the
Southerners and the Nothern masses, and
by inducing the mechanics of the North
to settle at the South, supply ourselves
with skilled labor, and build up home
industry. Keep up the cry! Southern
aid for the northern workingmen! Keep
the ball in motion !"
The day book. [volume] (Norfolk, Va.) 1857-1867, 1860-03-26

The last number of the London Punch
has two short pieces of advice, the first
being to bachelors, as follows:
Eat cold pudding to settle your love,
but don't do anything which will induce
you to settle your money!
And the second is sslike unto it."
"Friend! initiate the example of the
locomotive. He runs along, whistles
over his work, and yet never takes any,
thing but water when he wants to wet
his whistle
We know one or two engineers who in
following such an example would con-
tribute in no small degree to their COM
fort. but of course they don't know this.

Brief and Thrilling Romance.

In beautiful log cabin in the noun
tains of Old Virginia our tale opens.
Around Natures loneliness was sublime
The loftiest trees hung out their green
leaves in perfection, and tho high ROCKS
caught the gray mists of the morning and
pressed them to their rough bosoms, I'M
til they melted in tears Against their sides
A lovely maiden vas sitting by table,

a manly form enters the door, and steal

CHAPTER II.
"Ah, John!" exclaimed the lovelyh cir
ress of that beautiful cabin and the ex-
tensive potato patch behind it, "you
oughtn't to do that way"
LAY it all on my love, gal !"
'Lovel There is no such thing among
folks!"
The turtle dove
Only knows love;''
AS the poet singsv'
sThen you don't love me?"
"No!" ... .
"Nol Jane, call back that wordl''
'''Nol oh, mol Come back herel 'Twon't

"Then I'm gone, tool" And the impas-
stoned youth rushed from thelovely cabin
like q maniac.
CHAPTER III.
Sadly did the young man run along
the road, while the girl, firm and submits
sive in the discharge of her duty, procee-
ded to fry some onions for dinner. Mean
while the youth rushed madly on; the
burning fever of his heart maddened in
his brain, and he thought of self-destruc-
ton. Jerking his pocket-comb from his
vest pocket, vainly did he attempt to cut
his throat, however, who had blessed him
with tough hide, proved too strong for
him-he rushed to wagon rut, where
there was water at least two inches deep,
and he flung himself into Or rather upon

when Henry Cleft, the father of the gal,
passed by.
CHAPTER ~.
He soon unfolded his sad tale to his
friend, and finally consented to live if
Henry would give him chew of tobacco
He returned to the house, and in bis
haggard countenance, Jane saw his IN

though. About twenty years after, he

DARK HoURs.-There are dark hours
that makes the history of the brightest
years. For not whole month in many of
the millions of the past, perhaps, has the
sun shone brilliantly all athe time. sThere
have been cold and stormy days every
year. And yet the mist and shadows of
the darkest hours disappeared and fled
heedlessly. The most cruel ice-tetters
have been broken and dissolved, and the
most furious storm looses its power to
harm: And what parable is this hu-
man life-of our inside world, where the
heart works at its shadowing of the dark
hour, and many cold blast chills the
heart to the core. But what matters it?
man is born hero, and it is only in the
darkness and storms that heroism gains
its greatest and its best development, and
the storm bears it on more rapidly to its
destiny. Dispair not then. Neither give
up; while one good power is yours, useit.
Disappointment will not be realized -
Notifying failure may attend this effort
and that one-but only be honest and
struggle on, and it will work well.

Mrs. Partiugton?' said the squire, as he
looked atthe old lady over the top of his
gold-bowed specs, on the boat, elbow do
you like the ferry?" She smiled upon the
Squire, and replied, Il should like the
ferry good deal better, if it didn't go by
water" She was here attracted by the
battery at the Navy Yard, and asked if
those guns were tropics ofthe revolution.
