ILLUMINATED.-The young ladies of the Female
Institute of Santa Clara, asked the Principal of
the establishment for permission to illuminate
the building on the receipt of the news of Lin
coins election. 1t was granted. The San Jose
Mercury says:
Consent being giving, they entered into the
project with spirit, furnishing funds for the lights
and making the arrangements with their own
hands, all being done so quietly that the town
was taken by surprise when the brilliant tapers
In the many windows Of the college attracted
public attention. The young men of the village
and some students in the University, gathered in
front of the Institute, lighted bonfires, cheered
and swung their hats in token of sympathy, until
they had time TO procure the attendance of the
Santa Clara Band, when cheers and hurrahs gave
place to the inspiring strain of music, and the
rejoicing was kept up several hours much to the
qualification of all concerned"

SPuNKY FEMALE.-A truly romantic duel was
lately fought in the environs of the not very
romantic capital of Prussia. A young lady, it is
stated, of good family, having accidently come
into possession OF Il challenge addressed to her
lover, resolved upon Withholding the letter and
fighting herself Incredible as it may appear
this intention she carried out. Dressed in manly
hablliments she met the challenger in the Jung
fern Haide, a forest in the neighborhood Of the
capital, and her opponent having but once seen
and that imperlecty at night, the man who had
offended him, unconscionsly accepted the new
conner as his legitimate foe. Distances were
measured seconds placed, pistols fred when the
lady came of scatheless, after wounding her
antagonist in the shoulder. The name of the
lighting fair is unknown, but judicial inquiry
having been set on foot concerning the crime of
" intentional mansaughter," the details of the
afair will probably soon crafty the curiosity OF
the public.

The Angel Of the House.

Adeightful picture of the Household Angelo
is given In a recent number Of the British Work
qnan. The writer remarks;
"Tbere is an angel in the house. No matter
how fallen the inmates, how depressed the
circumstances, there is an angel there to pity or
TO cheer 1t may be in the presence of a little
child, or it may be inclosed in a STOPPING and
wrinkled body, treadng the downward path to
the grave. Or, perhaps in q cheerful spirit,
looking upon the ills Of life as so many steps
toward heaven, if only bravely overcome and
mounted with sinless feet. We knew such an
angel once, and it was drunkard's child. On
every side, wherever she moved she saw only
misery and degradation, and yet she did not fall
her father brutal and her mother discouraged
and her home thoroughly uncomfortable. But
she struggled along with angel endurance, bear
ing with an almost sanity patience the infrmi
ties of him who gave her existence, and then
hourly embittered it,
"Night after night, at the hours of ten, twelve,
and one, barefoot, ragged, shawlless and bonnet
less, has she been to the den of the drunkard,
and gone staggering home, with her arm around
her father. Many time has her flesh been blue
with the mark Of his hand, when she has stepped
in between her helpless mother and violence.
Many time has she sat upon the cold curbstone,
with his head in her lap many time known
how bitter it was to cry for hunger, when the
money which should have bought bread was
spent for gin. And the patience that the angel
wrought with, made her face shine so that,
though never acknowledged in the courts of this
world, in the kingdom of heaven she was waited
for by assembled hosts Of spirits, and the crown
of martyrdom lay ready waiting for her Young
brow. And she was martyr. Her gentle spirit
went up from couch of anguish anguish
brought on by i'll usage and neglect And never
till then did the father recognize the angel in the
child never till then did his manhood arise from
the dust Of its dishonor From her humble grave
he went away to steep his resolves in bitter tears
and he will tell you to-day how the memory Of
her much-enduring life keeps him from the bowl
how he goes sometimes, and stands where her
patient hands have led him, while her cheek
crimsoned at the sneer of those who scoff at the
drunkard's child. Search for the angels in your
households, and cherish them while they are
among you. 1t may be that all unconsciously
you fr0wn upon them, when smile would lead
you to Il knowledge Of their exceeding worth
They may be among the least cared for, most
despSed but when they are gone with their
silent influence, then you will mourn for them us
for jewel Of great worth"
