Happy Woman.

A happy woman Is not. shs { he very
sparkle and sunshine of lifel A woman
wEo is happy because she can't help it,
whose smiles even the coolest sprinkling of
misfortune cannot dampen. Men make
terrible mistake when they marry for beau
ty, for talent, or for style the sweetest
wives are those who possess the magic Sc
cret OF being coniented under any circum.
stances. Rich or poor, high or low, it
makes no difference bright little fountains
OF JOY bubbles up just as musicalIy in their
hearts Do they live in a log cabin, the
fre-light that leaps up on its humble hearth
becomes brighter than the gilded chande.
liers in an Aladdin palace Do they eat
brown bread or drink cold water from the
well, il affords them more solid satisfaction
than the millionaire's gale de tois gras and
iced champagne. Nothing ever goes wrong
with them; no trouble is so serious for
them, no calamity so dark and deep, that
the sunlight of their smiles will not "make
the best of it.n Was ever the stream &C
life so dark and unpropiiious that the sun
bid tide would not awaken an answering
gleam? Why, these joyous tempered peo.
pie don't know hall the good they do. No
matter how cross and Grabbed you feel, Mr..
Grumbler-no matter if your brain is pack
ed full of meditations on 'Fafflicting 1ispen-
sations," and your stomach with medicines,
pills and tonics. inst set one of these cherry
little women talking TO you, and we are not
afraid 10 wager anything that she can cure
you. The long drawn lines about the
mouth will relax, the cloud of settled gloom
will vanish nobody knows when, and the
first you know you will be laughing. Why!
That is another thing; we can not tell you
why you smile Involuntary TO listen to the
first bIue-brd Of the season among the ma
pie blossoms: or 10 meet a lot of yellow
| eyed dandelions in the crack of city paw
ing stone We only know that ii is so.
Oh, these happy women how often
their slender shoulders bear the weight of
burdens that would smite men to the ground!
How often their little hands guide The pom.
| derous machinery of life with an almost in
visible touch How we look forward thro'
the weary day to their freside smiles -
How often their cheerful eyes see coleur de
rose where we only behold charged clouds
No one knows, none ever will know until
the day of judgment, how much we owe to
these helpful, hopeful accomplishing wo-

Pen Portrait OF our Savior.

Found in an ancient manuscript sent by
Publius Lntulus. President OF Judea, TO the
Senate of Rome.
There lives al this time in Judea, a man
of singular character, whose name is Jesus
Christ. The barbarians esteem him proph-
ei, but his followers adore him as the i'm
mediate offspring of the Immortal God. He
is endowed with such unparalleled virtue
as to call back the dead from their graves,
and TO heal every kind of disease with
word or touch. His person is tall and ele-
gantly shaped-his aspect amiable, rever-
end. His hair falls in those beautiful shades
which no united colors can match, falling
into graceful curIs below his ears, agreea-
bly, couching on his shoulders, and parting
on the crown Of his head, like the sect of
the NaZarites His forehead is smooth and
large, his cheeks without spot, save that of
a lovely red his nose and mouth are form
ed with exquisite symmetry, his beard is
thick and suitable 10 the hair of his head,
reaching a little above his chin, and part
ing in the middle like fork, his eyes are
bright, clear and serene. He rebukes with
majesty, counsels with midness. and in.
vites with The most tender and persuasive
language. His whole address, whether in
word or deed, being elegant, grave, and
strictly characteristic of so exhaIted being.
No man hath seen him laugh but the
whole world behold him weep frequently /;
and so persuasive are his tears that none
can refrain from joining in sympathy with
him. He is very moderate, temperate ard
wise. In short, whatever the phenomenon
may turn out in the end, he seems at pres
ent man for excellent beauty and divine
perfections, every way SURPRISING the chill
dren oil men.

American Young Men.

American history presents many remark
able instance OF young meE taking promi-
nent and commanding stations at an age
which would be thought very young in
other countries. We snbjoin few striking
examples from the list OF those who have
passed off the stage of human action.
AT the age of twenty-nine, Mr.. Jefferson
was an influential member of the Legisla-
ture of Virginia. AT thirty he was a men,
Der of the Virginia Convention; at thirty-two
a member of the Continental Congress, and
at thirty-three he wrote the Declaration of
Independence.
Alexander Hamilton was only twenty
years of age when he was appointed a
Leulenant.Colone in the army of The Rev.
olution, and aid de camp 10 Washington
At twenty-five he was a member of the
Continental Congress, at thirty he was one
of the ablest members of The Convention
which framed the Constitution of the United
States al thirty-two he was Secretary of
the Treasury, and organized that branch of
Government, upon SO complete and COM
prehensive plan that no great change oil
improvement has since been made upon it.
John Jay, al twenty nine years old. was
a member of the Continental Congress, and
wrote ar address 10 the people of Great
Britain which was justly regarded as one
of the most eloquent productions Of the
times. AT thirty he prepared the Constitu-
nF RI in he
was appointed Chief Justice of the State.
Washington was twenty-seven years Of
age when he covered the retreat to the Brit
ish troops at Braddock's defeat, and was
honored by an appointment as Commander
in-Chief of the Virginia forces.
Joseph Warren was twenty-nine years Of
age, when he delivered the memorial ad-
dress on the 5th of March, which reused
the spirit OF patriotism and liberty in his
section of the country; and at thirty four
he gloriously fell in the cause OF freedom
on Bunker Hill.
Fisher Ames, at the age of twenty seven,
had excited public attention by the ability
he displayed in the discussion of questions
of public interest At the age of thirty, his
mastery speeches in defence OF The Consti-
tuition of the U nited States had excited great
influence, so that the youthful orator of
thiry-one was elected 10 Congress from the
Suffolk district over the Revolutionary hero,
Samuel Adams.
De Witt Clinton entered public life at
twenty-eight; Henry Clay at Iwenty-six.
The most youthful signer of the Declara-
ton of Inde pendence was William Hooper,
of North Carolina, whose age was but
twenty four.

SUMNER DAYS.

In Summer when the days were long,
We walked together in the wood;
Our heart was light, our step was strong
Sweet fiatierine were there in our blood,
IN summer when the days were long.
We stayed from morn till evening came;
"A. gathered flowers and wove US crowns;
We walked mid poppies red as flame,
Or sat upon tie yellow down;
And always wished our lives the same.
In Summer, when the days were long,
We leaped the hedgerow ,cross'd the brook;
And still her voice flowed iorth in song,
Or else she read some graceful book,
In summer, when the days were long.
And then we sat beneath the trees,
With shadows lessening in the noon
And, iI the sunlight and the breeze,
We feasied, many gorgeous June,
While larks were singing Ger the leas.
In Summer when the days were long,
On dainty chicken, snow-white bread,
We feasted, with no grace but song,
We plucked wild strawberries, ripe and red,
In Summer when the days were long.
We loved, and yet we knew it not
For loving seemed like breathing then
We found heaven in every spot;
Saw angels, too, in all good men;
And dreamed of God in grove and gro:.
In summer, when the days were long,
Alone | wander, music alone;
see her not: but that old song
Under the fragrant wind is blown,
in summer, when the days we're long.
Alone wander in the wood
But one fair spirit hears my sighs;
And half see, so glad and good,
The honest daylight of her eyes,
That charmed me under earlier skies.
In Summer, when the days are long,
love her as We loved of old
My heart is light, my step is strong
For love brings back those hours of good,
In Summer, wheC the days are long.

EVIL CoMPAET.-Sophronius,a wise teach
er of the people, did not allow his daugh-
ters, even when they were grown up, TO as
sociate with persons whose lives were not
moral and pure.
"Father," said the gentle Eulalia one day
when he had refused to permit her 10 60, iI
company with her brother, 10 visit The fri
volous Lucinda, "lather, you must think
that we are very weak and childish, since
you are afraid it would be dangerous to US
in visiting Lucinda"
Without saying word, the father took a
coal from the hearth, and handed it 10 his
daughter. alt will not burn you, my child, ("
said he "only take it !"
Eualia took the coal, and beheld her ten
der white hand black and without thinking,
she touched her white dress, and il was also
bIackened. "See, said Eulalia, somewhat
dispIeased as she looked at her hands and
dress, Zone can not be too careful when
handling Goals"
"Yes, truly" said her father; "you see,
my child, that the coal, even though it did
not bum you, has nevertheless biaekeIaed you
So is The company of immoral persons"

THE RESCUE.

Mr.. Robert Bruce, originally descended
from some branch of the ancient Scottish
family of that name, was born in humble
century, at Torbay, in the South OF Eng
land, and there bred up 10 a seafarIng life.
When about thirty years of age, 10 wit, in
the year 1928, he was FL st mate on barque
trading between Liverpool and St. Johns,
New Brunswick.
On one of her voyages bound westward ,
being then some FIVE or six weeks out, and
having neared the eastern portion of the
Banks of Newfoundland, the captain and
mate had been on deck at noon, taking an
bolE descended 10 calculate their days
work.
The cabin, small one, was immediate
" at the stern of the vessel, and the stair
way descended 10 it ran alhwar:-ships. I'm
mediaiely opposite this stairway. just beyond
a small square landing, there were two
doors close TO each other, the one opening
aft into the cabin, the other, fronting the
stairway into the state-room was in the for
ward part of it, close to the door, so that
any one sitting at it, and looking over his
shoulder, could see into the cabin.
The mate, absorbed in his calculation,
which did not result as he expected, vary.
ing considerably from the dead reckoning,
had not noticed the captains motions =
When be had completed his calculations
he called out, with looking round, 81 make
our latitude and longitude so and SO. Can
that be right! How is yours p'
Receiving no reply, he repeated his ques-
ton, glancing ever his shoulder, and per-
ceiving, as he thought, the captain busy
writing on his slate. Still no. answer
Thereupon he rose, and, as he fronied the
cabin door, the figure he had mistaken for
the captain, raised It's Lead, and disclosed
to the astonished mate the features of an
entire stranger.
Bruce was nc coward but, as he met the
fixed gaze looking directly at him in grave
silence, and became assured that he was no
one whom he had ever seen before, it was
too much for him and, instead of stopping
to question the seeming intruder, he rushed
upon deck in such evident alarm, that il in .
stantly attracted the captains attention.

Tired Of FARMING.

few months ago man who had been
farme, from his early life, came 10 the
city 10 buy stoves TO sell again. Said he to
The stove dealer "the weevil begins to infest
the wheat, and all things considered, am
tired of farming; and SO I have sold my
farm" The stove dealer remarked that he
thought within himself that just as like as
not the farmer would find a weeyil in the
heart of the new business-snd SO il prov
ed, for when the day arrived on which the
note was matured given for the stoves, the
old farmer now turned tradesman, confessed
that he had been unable 10 sell his Stoves
that he had most of them on hand.
'sTired of farming," the most independ-
ent business man can engage in, because
forsooth there are dsappointments, and
perplexities, and trials, and vexations, at
tending it. Remenber, you who are tillers
of the soil, that your cares and troubles and
anxieties are few and far between, compar-
ed with those suffered by commercial men.
II your chances 10 become rich are not
so inviting and profitable as those Of trades
nneu, UcdE III tudl tu6 QdnrcIS OF De-
coming very poor and destitute are far less.
Famine and ahject poverty seldom overtake
The farmer, or haunt him in their ghoslly
visits. He lives or the high table-land of
promise, rising far above the murky region
of want and destitulion. His children say
there is bread enough 10 spare to the hungry
Of other less fortunate callings.
Tired Of farming J" Supposing you are ?
What is TO be done in such case Do you
expect TO find employment without trials
and perplexities If so, you are doomed 10
disappointment. There is no vocation in
the world that will exempt those who do
engage therein from cares and fears and
vexations. So if you are tired of farming,
the best way is to get rested as soon as you
can, and prosecute anew the business for
which you are early trained, and which i:
diligently followed, will yield good supply
of all the necessaries OF life together with
opportunities for moral and mental culture.

The SEA SERPENT AcMs.-A party of gentle.
men who returned from a weeks's boating
excursion last night, and who, it may not
be improper 10 state, are all temperance
men, report having seen what they believed
to be sea serpent, off Cape Cod last Sum
day afternoon. The statement made by two
of the number is substantially as follows:
Just before seven O'Clock, as they were lying
to in calm off the mouth of Barnstable
Bay, and some fifteen miles from Province
town, they saw monster. about four hun
dred feet from the boat, passing slowly
along in advance of them. They describe
the creature as being black, about one hun
dred feet long, with head almost the size
of a Kossuth hat, and the body as large
round as a tar bucket. When first seen the
head was some eighteen inches above the
water, and at times a large portion of the
body could be seer. They examined il
through glass, and could see no signs Of
any fins, and it went along with a move
ment much like that OF an ell. Several of
the gentlemen have been voyages at sea,
and are familiar with the movement of por-
poises and other fish, but this creature diff
cred from anything ever seen by them be-
lore. 1t moved along slowly on the top of
the tide, and suddenly disappeared in about
ten minutes at the distance of quarter Of
a mile. 1t was afterwards seen further off
with the aid OF glass.-BO,iOn Trarsla,
