Variety.-Ihe woman who marries
for. money is not overstocked with
delicacy.
There are two kind of geniuses-the
clever and the too clever.
Nothing ever, touched the heart of a
!. reader that did not come from the heart
eaof writer.
There is an alchemy in high heart
which transmutes other things to its
own quality.
To some men it is Indispensable to
be worth money, for without it they
would be worth. nothing.
Those beings only are fit for solitude
who like nobody, are like nobody, and
are liked by nobody.
Genius lights its own fire, but it is
constantly collecting materials with
which to keep alive the flame.
The sweet light of friendship is like
the light of phosphorus, seen plainly
when all around is dark.
Be not affronted at jest. If one
throw salt at thee thou wilt receive no
harm, unless thou hast sore places.
Little. drops of rain brighton the
meadows; and little acts Of kindness
brighten the world.
Mirth should be the embroidery of
the conversation, not the web; and with
the ornament of the mind not the furn-
iture.
Men are frequently like tea-the real
strength and goodness are not properly
drawn out until they have been short
time in hot water.
A young man stated, that at one pc
Rod of his life he had been nearly be-
trayed into the principles of infdelity;
but he added, there is one argument
in favor Of Christianity which [ could
never refute-the consistent conduct of
my own father
We should consider integrity as of
more weight than oaths; or observe the
purport of what thou promised more
strictly than an oath.
They who respect themselves will be
honored; but they who do not care
about their character, will be despised

Valuable Little Hints-A short nee
die makes the most expedition in plain
sowing.
Put your ball or reels of cotton into
little bags, leaving the ends out.
One flannel petticoat will wear nearly
as long as two, if turned hind part be-
fore when the front begins to wear
thin.
Dirty windows are very reliable tell
tales; they give the character of the
lady of the house with great correct
ness.
A leather strap, with buckle at ono
end and tongue holes at the other, is
useful in the house.
There is not anything gained in
economy by having very young and in
experienced servants at low wages.
They break, waste, and destroy moro
than an equivalent for higher wages,
setting aside comfort and respectable
Sty.

Epitaphs.-Some are curious, some
are quaint, some are good, some are
foolish, some are true, some are false;
indeed there are all sorts, kinds and
descriptions. The attempts ut poetry
in some of Thorn are perfectly excru-
teiating, as for instance:
''Here lies my wife horo lies she,
Hatieujah, Haitotujcc."
Here is one very touching, found in

to see:

Who on the twenty ninth of May
Began to hold her tongue.
Some are very descriptive, showing
up most graphically the kind of death
by which the respected deceased came

The Observation-Disclosures and servants
of the Embassy luxuriate in ildeness.-
Photography absorbed them for q while.
but having now all seer themselves duly
put upon paper, this excitement has
passed. Trihing purchases take up n
portion Of each day. The japanese are
gaining wisdom in the matter of sole
leather. T~sokahara Jongoro gives good
example by appearing in CATERS of
Washington manufacture, of astonish-
ing size. The first day after his arrival
here, he had two cases of shoes brought
into his room, every pair of which he
carefully inspected before deciding up
on his purchase. Several sets that fitted
him exactly, and gave his little foot the
neatest possible appearance, were
thrown aside in favor of a couple of huge
objects which, he honestly declared,
were better suited to his untutored toes
Since that time, many of the subordinate
officers have adopted CATERS, invariably
selecting the largest available sizes, ac-
cording tothe example of their comfort
loving leader; and often, in their igno-
of our American price, and their
indifference to matters of money, paying
for them sums quite proportionatc to-
their dimensions.

How CONGRESS- ELECTS THE PRESIDENT
AM VICE PREsIDENT.-It may be useful
Just about this time to reproduce the
statement the approach of a Presidential
election makes opportune every four
years. 1t is thus succinctly given by a
writer in the New York Times;
The House Of Representatives has
nothing whatever to do with the election
of a Vice President, nor the Senate with
election Of a President. The powers
Of each body are distinct and entirely
independent of the other.
If no President be chosen by the cleo
tors. the House of Representatives may
choose the President, their choice being
restricted to the persons having the
highest numbers, not exceeding three
III the list of those voted for as Prcsi-
dent.
Ii no Vice President be chosen by the
electors, the Senate shall choose the
Vice President from the two highest
numbers on the list Of those voted for
Vice President.
If the House fails to elect a Presi-
dent before the 4th of March next fol-
lowing. then the Vice President
whether elected by the electors or by
the Senate-shall act as President.
The rule or manner of voting under
which the Senate chooses a Vice Presi-
dent is exactly the reverse Of that
which governs the House in choosing a
Pre>ident-each being the reverse of
the general principle or basis upon
which the respective bodies are organ
lied. The House, representing the peo-
pie, and ordinarily voting per capita, vote
for President by States, the representa-
ton from each State having one vote,
and a majority of all the States being
necessary to a choice. The Senate, re-
presenting the States-in theory, at
least, and in the manne of. electing
Senators-votes for President pr capita.

Spirit of the Times we learn that a ccI-

take a great deal of interest in a cock

The combatants on the occasion will be
