Value of a Blonde RingIet.

There seems to be one thing, after all
that is of more value for not having COS
anything! The following incident, which
we find in French paper illustrates the
truth of this apparent impossibility
At a charity fair, lately gotten up by the
benevolent fashonables Of Paris, the Princess
P had counter, covered with elegant
trifes. One of her gay acquaintances Count
de R, approaching the stall, and, look
ing at the articles, was quietly walking away.
The lovely shop woman, upon this called out
to know if he was going to be so uncourteous
as to pass without buying something from
her
81 would" he said, with significant look
"if you will sell me what | want"
"Wel!, what is it?"
"That lock of golden hair which falls SO
beautifully on your shoulder" -..
:" You shall have it" replied the Princess
cry promptly: and seizing pair Of scissors,
he clipped it close to the temple. 1t was
then duly wrapped in piece OF paper and
handed across the counter.
"Five hundred francs,' said the Princess.
The count as promptly drew check from
his wallet, and filled it up for the amount,
secretly thinking it was very dear; but pock-
citing it with rather chivalrc grace.
The next day the count telling the story
with some triumph to his sistcr-n-law who
happened to be an intimate friend Of the
Princess, was surprised to fLd it received
with burst Of hearty laughter.
"The Princess made good bargain of
OF you" said his sister, " for as ! chance to
know, the five hundred francs which she
charged you for that single curl is three or
four times as much as she paid the hair
dresser for the whole wigl'

ALWAYS ROOM UP STAIRS. A young
man who was thinking of studying law
said to Daniel Webster.
Mr.. Webster l understand the pro-
fession of law is quite full, and that there
are more lawyers than are needed; do you
think there is any chance for meF"
There is always room up stairs, was
the reply-and as true as it was ingeni-
Gus. Only few persons reach the high
places, and these are always in great
demand" there is room enough up
stairs" --4-
First class farmers and mechanics, as
we'll as physicians; lawyers, &C., always
find plenty of room, plenty of work, and
good pay. Whatever calling you choose,
and it matters little, if it be an honest
one, resolve to 60 into an upper story;
but don't try to jump there by single
leap or you may fall disabled. Rather
begin at the bottom of tho ladder, and pa
ticntly step upon each round.

OVERRIDING,

Some men-young men especially
are proud of great feats of strength and
endurance. They are not satisfied with
ordinary labor faithfully performed; they
must be doing some wonderful thing to
excite attention and secure praise
Such men may be useful in their way,
but are not generally the most useful in
society. For all ordinary purposes, they
are apt to be lazy, and vain, and unsta-
bic.
In the playfulness of youth, or the vigor
of early manhood, it is natural for one
to love to try his strength or his agility
just for the fun of it. Ordinarily nc
harm comes from such performances; yel
we must be allowed to say, be careful in
your gymnastics. Not a few young far
mers and mechanics have, by the excess
of a single day, laid the foundation Of
disease or infirmity for a whole life.
In the present season of haying and har-
vesting, word of caution here may be
timely. Young men don't be ambitious
to do great days work. At all sea-
sons of the year, more will be accom-
plished by doing regularly fixed and
moderate amount of work, than by over
taxing yourself at any period. The
work will be better doue, and you will
be likely to live longer to enjoy its fruits.

A Strange Story.

4 sad event, unfortunately not unique in
the annals of science, has just occurred here.
Some time ago, lady of superior talent as
governess in private families, had confided to
her care, a little Russian boy, born deaf and
dumb. The child was of gentle temper and
eudeaiing manners and the poor govcrness
bent tic whole of her int, lligence to the pos
sibility Of instructing him to keep pace with
her other pupils. Soon, at sight of his quick
comprehension of the various methods she
invented for his instruction, she began to grow
more ambitious still, aud to be devoured with
the desire to endow him with the faculty
which Nature herself had denied. For this
purpose it appears that Mademoiscllo Cleret
spent whole nights in study, and lavishod her
slender means in experiments. AT length
light broke in upon her. She remained per-
fcctly convinced that in sulphufic Hther must
reside the taiiafnah powerful enotfgh to re-
store tho deaf to a sense Of hearing She
began by pouring into the ear few drops
only at time, gradually increasing the
quantity until it reached ten drops. The
cure was complete. The child heard and
understood in short time. The articula-
ton was still imperfect for little while
longer, but that, it seems, has since yielded
to surgical treatment The fame of the cure
spread far and near. The remedy was tried
upon numbcross individuals in all stages Of
deafness, and in every case succeeded. A
commission was named to pronounce upon
the discovery made by Malemoiselle Ceret.
The decision was made wholly in its favor,
the Montyon prize was awarded to the fortu-
nate lady, and various testimonials of favor
were conveyed to her, both from public bod
les and private individuals. But the end Of
this sacrifice and devotion to the cause of hu-
manity is sad to tell Poor Mademoiselle
Clerit, unable to resist the change from a
position of dependenceoand privation to one
of fame and comparative opulence, has sunk
beneath the weight Of the unexpected hunors
thus conferred upon her. Her mind, worn
out with study and anxiety, worn out with
labor and with watching, has given way, and
she has just been conveyed hopeless maniac

Useful Receipts.

DamssH-P PreseTred. the long, small
damsons, pick off the stalks, prick them with
a pin, then put them into deep pot, with
half their weight Of pounded loaf sugar. and
set them in a moderate oven until they be-
come soft. Then take them out Of the oven
give the syrup Eoil, and pour it upon the
damsons Repeat this two or three times;
then take them carefully out, put them into
the jars you intend to keep them in, and pour
over them rendered mutton suet Tie blad-
der over them, and keep them in a very cool
place.
Ginger-C -Candied. Beat two pounds Of fine
loaf sugar put into pan, with as much wa
ter as will dissolve it, and an ounce Of race
ginger, grated fine. Stir them well together
over very slow fire till the sugar begins to
boil; then stir in the remaining pound Of su-
gar and keep stirringit until it becomes thick;
II en- take it off from the fire, and drop it in
cakes upon earthen dishes. Set them in
warm place to dry, and they will look white,
and be very hard and brittle.
Damsons-D Dried Procure your damsons
when they are fully ripe, spread them on d
coarse cloth, set them in very cool oven,
and let them stand day or two. If they
are not then rs dry as a fresh prune put them
into another cool oven for day or two lon
ger, till they are pretty dry; then take then,
out, and lay them in dry place. They will
eat like fresh plums in the winter.
Damsons-B Bottled. d.--Procure your dam
sons when they have just turned color, and
put them into wide-mouthed bottles; cork
them loosely, and let them stand fortnight:
Then look them over, and if you sec any OF
them mould or spot take them out, and corr
the rest close down; set tho bottles in sand,
and they will keep till spring, and be as good
as fresh ones " 4f
Picked I7uss-Have ready seven pounds
of plums. Put into pint of vinegar, half
an ounce of stick cinnamon, and half an oance
of cloves, and three pounds of sugar; boil
these ingredients together, and pour them on
the plums for three days in succession. The
third day put the pluns in also, and boil all
together. .
Housefies es--These troublesome little insects
may be eilectually destroyed, without the use
of poison: Take half a teaspoonful of pow
dered black pepper, one teaspoonful Of brown
sugar, and one tablespoonful of cream; mix
them well together, and place the mixture in,
your room. or where the flies are most troub-
lesoine, an 'hHv will soon disappear.

Ifsubscribers move to other places without
