How to Tell a Lady.

Ten women shall get into an omnibus,
and though we never saw one of them
before, we shall select you the true lady.
She does not litter when a gentleman.

or pitches il away over his nose; nor does
she receive her "change," after this Ito
himl inconyenient act of gallantry in grim
silence. She wears no lowered brocade
to be trodden under foot, nor rose tinted
gloves, but the lace frill round her face
is scrupulously fresh, and the strings
under her chin evidently been handled
only by dainty fingers She makes no
parade of a watch, if she wears one; nor
does she draw off her dark, neatly-ftting
glove to display ostentatious rings.
Still we notice, nesting in the straw
beneath us, such trig little boot, not
paper soled, but of an anti-consumption

of plain straw, simply trimmed, for your

an omnibus. She is quite s..civil to the
poorest as the richest person who sit be-
hind her. and equally regardful of the
rights. If she attracts attention, it is by
the unconscious grace of her person and
manner. not by the Ostentation of her
dress. We are quite sorry when she pulls
the trap and disappears; if we were bach
elor. we should go home to our solitary
den. with resolution to become better

Ohio Prisoners Mnrdarad.

In his speech at Bryan Hall, Chicago.
Gen. PrHRtiss went largely into the cir
cumstances of maltreatment which he
and his fellow prisoners suffered at the
hands of the internal heather of the South.
among whom they so unfortunately fell.
He gave the following account of the bru-
tai hanging of some Ohio prisoners:
At Atlanta, confined in court house,
was perceived large procession coming
up the street, two or three wagons and a
great concourse of men, women and chill
dren following. When they were opposite
to US we beheld some men rise in the wag-
ons and raise their caps to us. We coun-
ted them. They were United States sol
diers from the State of Ohio. and were
taken out and hung within two hundred
yards of our prison, The rope broke with
two of them. They were compelled to
stand and behold the struggles of the
other FIVE until they were dead. Then
they were strung up too, and paid the
penalty for doing-what For indeavor-

rious death. They died for the govern

PRoSAIC TRAYELERs.-Let people travel,
not for show and reputation, but for en-
joyment. Let them cease to identify
travel with the French travail. The eye
knows the food that agrees with 1t as well
as the palate. and forcing on it what it
does mot seek, produces aesthetic diges-
ton. If a man has no eye for art, let
him confess it to himself af least, if he do
not spread it abroad TO the world; and
let him select the pursuit that will give
him the most enjoyment. instead of wear
ing out his eyesight, his patience and his
legs, by rushing through long stretches of
picture and statue galleries. If he can
only enjoy a good field of beans, and
meadow with prize OK in it, why should
he render himself miserable among cata-
racts and precipices? A man of no small
celebrity, whose chosen field of inquiry
and delight was among animals, when he
arrived at Rome, went forthwith to the

Celehrata l Authors.

Steele wrote excellently on temperance
when sober. SalluSt, who declamed 50
eloquently against the hcentiousness OF
the age, was himself habitual debauch-
er. JohnsOns essay on politeness Is all
mirable, but he was himself a perfect
boor. The gloomy verses OF Young give
one the blues, but he was brisk lively
man.
The comforts of Human Life, by b.
Herson was written in prison, under the
most distressing circumstance. The
Miseries of Human Life by Beresford,
was, on the contrary composed IN u
drawing room, where the author was sur
rounded with every luxury. All the
friends of Sterne know him TO be a sell
fzh man; yet as writer, he excelled IN
pathos and charity, at one time beating
his wife. at another wasting his sympathies
over dead monkey. So Seneca wrote
in praise ofpoverty on a table formed OF
solid gold, with millions let out at
uSury.

Looking Ahead.

We once fell in with business man.
and he was a person Of wide experience,
too. who said that. whatever might hap
pen to him. he always looked sixty days
ahead. rather than sixty days behind.
This was sensible, and there was profound
philosophy in it, For the habit of look
ing on the dark side of matters soon be
gets respondent feeling in the heart,
and disinclines man to make any exer
ton at all. To look forward to better
DAYS, however, and TO a turn of fortune
for better times, IS naturally calculated to
inspire one with enthusiasm, to stipulate
one with the new wine of hope. /. makes
all imaginable difference whether man
desponds or hopes. Hence, when a blast
of trouble, the true way is 10 turn your
back upon it. 10 refuse to have anything
to do with it, 20 forswear all connection
with its threats or promises. Look ahead,
and look up. What is gone; is gone; there
is no help for it, Work for better fortune,
and the bad will desert you in absolute
disgust at your impressibility.

Healthfnlness of Apples.

There Is scarcely an article of vegetable
food, say Halls Journal of Health, more
widely useful and universally loved, than
the apple Why every farmer in the ma
ton has not an apple orchard where trees
will grow at all, is one of the mysteries
Let every family lay in from two 10 ten
or more barrels, and it will be to them the
most economical investment III the whole
range of culinaries. \ raw, mellow apple
is digested in an hour and half. while
boiled cabbage requires five hours. The
most healthy desert which can be placed
on a table is baked apple. If taken
at breakfast, with coarse bread and butter,
without meat or flesh of any kind, it has
an admirable effect on the general system,
often removes constipation, correcting ac-
idities and cooling off febrile conditions
more effectually than the most approved
medicines. If families could be induced
to substitute the apple-sound, ripe and
luscious-for the pies, cakes. candies and
sweetmeats with which their children are
too often indiscreetly stuffed, there would
be diminution in the sum total of doc
tors bills in a single year, sufficient to
lay in a stock of the delicious fruit for a
whole seasons use.

rhe First Lesson in Gambling.

Wherever there are great collections OF
people, there are always bad and foolish
people among them. 1t was so at Bridge
mort. where the State Fair was held recent
| ". Outside the grounds, behind or with
in tents or booths, were many who gam
bled and led others TO do so. Now, 1t Is
a very simple thing to gamble; so simple
and often appears so fair, that many boy
is led 10 take the first step before he
knows il.
There was behind one of the oyster
stands a circle of men and boys; on the
ground sat a poor degraded, disslpated
man, poorly clothed, and looking sick and
weak. He held IN his hand several IRON
rings. before him was board with nails
driven in it, which stood upright. A clear
faced bright eyed, handsome little fellow
stepped up to him. He was just such a
boy as is prompt at day school, and always
has his lesson at Sabbath school. he
showed this in his face as he stepped up
to a man and said:
What's that for?'
Give me a cent and you may pitch one
of these rings, and if it catches over a nail.
I'll give you six cents
That seemed fair enough; so the boy
handed him cent and took the ring
He stepped back to a stake, tossed the
ring. and it caught one Of the nails.
.'Will you take six rings to pitch again
or six cents?"
six cents" was the answer; and two
three-cent pieces were put into his hand,
and ne stepped off well satisfied with what
he had done, and probably not having an
idea that he had done wrong.
Agentleman standing near had watched
him, and now, before he had time TO look
about and rejoin his companions. laid his
hand on his shoulder

back and ask him for yopr penny, and

He had hung his head down, but raised
it quickly, and his bright, open look, as he
said "PiI do it." will not be forgotten.
He ran back and soon emerged from the
ring. looking happier than ever. He
touched his cap and bowed pleasantly, as
he ran away to Join his comrades.
That was an honest boy.-Sketeh Book,

THE SUNSET LAM.

o, dimly through the mist of years
That roll their dreary waves between,
The gorgeous Sunset Land appears
Arrayed in hues of fadeless green.
And from that far-otf suany cline
Old half-forgotton songs arise;
And stealing Ger the waves of Time
The sweetly lingering mnsic dies.
As some bright island Of the sea.
Forever blooming fair;
Though cold, darskE kEIhiilloss round il be,
Eterna. sunshine hovers there
Thus Ger the silent sea of years
Our eager, longing looks are cast,
Where robed in fs,deless Spring appears
The sunlit Eden of the Past.
There Memory weaves her garlands green
Beside the loved, hUpe-haunted shore:
And musing mid the Arcadian scene
Twines flowers that bloom fer us no more.
Oh! hallow i climel blest Land of Lowell
S~ eet Paradise OF early dreams
Still thro thy wales may fancy rove,
Still bask beneath thine evening beams.
And there they dwell-1hose cherished ones
With snow-white brows and waving hair,
see them new-I hear their tones
OF sweetness sigh along the air.
Harkl how their slivery voices ring
In cadence with the wind 8 low sigh;
Not sweeter is the wind-harp's string
That wakes at eve its melody.
They call US! seel they wave their hands
As by the mirage lifted high
That cline in all its beauty stands
Against the forehead of the sky.
With wreathed brows-with laugh and song
With tender looks-hand clasped in hand
They move along-that love-linked throng--
Within the haunted Sunset-Land.
