Most Of our fair readers have decided

the other day, the only occupants Of the stage

strings down to tho neatly fitting gloves, and
delicate gaiter boots. If we had been an old
bachelor, or young one either, we would
have certainly fallen in love with that girl,
particularly after we had discovered she was
as Industrious as pretty. And how do you
suppose we found It outl The handkerchief
that lay in her lap told us SO. The neat lit
tie darn, elaborately executed, in It's corner,
with its small whito stitches and skillful
handiwork, had tongue quito audible to
our ears. Time and patience and wise COM
pany had been there. The gentleman sit
ting opposite saw the little token also; We
noticed his eye turning from the handker-
chief to the blooming face and back, and
back to the handkerchief again, and we
knew perfectly well what he was thinking
of-the good wife the young lady would
make, and how neat the husbands crayats
and stockings would be. Poor fellow, the
edges Of his shirt bosom were little frayed,
and one or two buttons were missing, whose
detection the most skillful arrangement Of
his cravat-ends could not conceal. Perhaps
he had wife who didn't believe in mendng
and darning-perhaps he had none at ALL
However that may have been, his admiring
eyes appreciated the darn on the handker-
chief more than II II had been the richest
and most sightdestroying acknowledgement
for what It was but for what II bctokcned.

Paroled Prisoners.


For the information Of paroled prisoners
of war, also sick and disabled soldiers, we
copy the following from Col. Fennos Au-
gusta correspondence Of the Bangor Wing !:
Augusta, June 10th.
"a great many paroled prisoners belong
ing to the different regiments from this State
have lately returned, having been furnished
with passes. but without directions - 10
what to do alter they reach their homes
For the information Of such, would say
that they should Immediately report them
selves to Major j. W. T. Gardiner at Augus-
Ia, stating name, residence, post office I'D.
dress, regiment, company, when and where
taken prisoner, when and where released,
place OF imprisonment, and other essential
particulars. On the receipt Of such infor.
nation, Major Gardiner will take charge Of
the case, and sec that the soldier has bis
rights, as It regards pay, &c. Unless such
notice is given, the Government can have no
knowledge Of the men, and consequently can
have no care over them.
As at present advised, Major Gardiner can.
not assume the expense OF taking care Of the
sick ut their homes, but will on proper APP
plication, furnish passes by which sick and
disabled soldiers can be taken to the hospital
at Portland or Augusta. Clothing will be
furnished at either Of these places.

Home Courtesies.


In each home intercourse Il should bc TO
membered that each one has his place and
his part. A happy and pleasant home is an
impossibility where any one slights his duty.
Home is not place where you are to cosset
your own fancies, or be entertained by the
rest. You have no right to sit down, lissless
and dull, and say, "Come, amuse me and see
how pleasant you can make home" You
have no right to complain that home Is un.
genial, till you are sure you have tried your
best to make 1t genial. The men who COM
plain Of homo are mostly those Of whom
homes complain, men whose dignity is offend
ed at the bare suggestion that they have
something TO do toward making It pleasant.
Home Is not mere place Of entertainment
o sort Of tavern, and he who turns to It fol
entertainment merely deserves to be disap
pointed. Hast thou nothing to do, o man
but to throw thyself upon sofa, or monop
lie the easiest chair, and, holding back al
thine own information, demand that wife ant
children amuse thee? or wilt thou 60 moodily
out to club or store, declaring that thou vii,
not stay where 80 little is done for thee?-
And shall the young man say. "My sisters dc
nothing to make home pleasant to me. when
he has done nothing to make home pleasant
to them7 do not think the different mem
bers of homo realize how much the pleas
ant, profitable intercourse Of home depends
on each. or how hard It is when one and an
other hang back for tho rest to supply the
defciency.-Rep. J. F. w. Ware.

GRAY HAIRs.-Hon. Frederick Smyth,
American Commissioner at the Worlds Fair
in London, writes:
Old buildings are rarely torn down or
painted, the people have veneration for CIV.
erything old. Hair dye is not used here,
but gray hair is preferred, and thousands Of
youngish men powder their hair to make It
appear gray. Ladies' with gray and white
hair take especial pains to display it. I.see
hundreds OF ladies wear white and gray hair
curled and elaboratcly dressed, and 1t looks
