BoARDING VERSUS HousEKEEPING.-Th The
newly married are universally falling
back on the old idea Of boarding. II
is, they say, the easiest, and undoubt-
edly the most economical there is nc
furniture to buy, no expensive stock OF
household linen to purchase and make
up, no coal and flour to lay in, nc
frightful rent days, and no servants
wages TO pay, or servants board to
find. This is true to a certain extent,
but not all true, and it need not be
half SO true as it is. As an offset, it
must be remembered that board is very
high, and constantly growing higher
and getting poorer that in little
while complications may be expected
in the shape of children, and that M
the meantime, instead of enjoying free
dom and domestic comfort, the young
husband and wife have to submit to all
sorts Of tiresome restraints, to diet
which generally excludes everything
that they have particular liking for,
and to the absence of the great charm
of newly welded life, the feeling of
Joint proprietorship in their own home.
Moreover boarding, where it is not a
necessity, is wicked-its tendency is to
immortality. In large boarding houses
it is considered absurd for man to pay
the attention of husband and q gen
tleman to his own wife, Especially if
he be recently married, he is made
the target of a senseless crowd of young
men and women, who aim their silly
shafts at him until he is shamed out of
his manhood, and becomes either a
frivolous male firt, or leaves his wife
alone while be seeks the solace of neigh
boring billiard saloons. But, say the
young ladies, what are we to do2 You
acknowledge that at present prices, it is
impossible for some Of us to go to
housekeeping, and yet discourage
boarding. What else can we do !?
Not at all; we never said it was inn
possible to go to housekeeping, only
impossible to purchase Brussels carpets
and expensive furniture but these
are not necessary to the most delight
full kind of housekeeping Do? Why
go to work as your mother on your
grandmother did before YOU Furnish
two rooms, if you cannot a whole house,
and with such plain, simple articles as
you can afford. A little taste and
little industry will soon make them at
tractive; sensible people will prefer
them to marvellous exhibitions of
French upholstery and, most impor-
tant of all, as you will discover some
time, you will have your husband to

Hints on Etiquette.

In all associations, keep cons antly
in view the aduge, too much freedom
breeds contempt" '.3HffN
Never be guilty of practical jokes.
If you accustom yourself to them, it is
probable you will become SO habituatod
as to commit them upon persons who
will not allow of such liberties, / have
known duel arise from slap on the
back.
II there be another chair in The
room, do not offer lady that from
which you have Just arisen.
Away suspect the advances of any
person who may wish for your acquain-
lance, and who has had no introduce
ton. Circumstances may qualify this
remark, but, as general principle,
acquaintance made in public room
or place Of amusement are not desir-
able.
Never converse while a person is
singing. 1t is an insult not only to the
singer, but to the company.
The essential part of good breeding
is the practical desire to afford pleas
ure, and to avoid giving pain. Any
man possessing this desire requires on
ly opportunity and observation to make
him gentleman.
If, in public promenade, you pass
and repass persons of your acquain-
lance, it is only necessary to salute
them ON the first occasion.
Do not affect singularity of dress by
wearing anything that is so conspic-
nous as to demand attention, and
particularly avoid what / must call the
ruffian style.
Never lose your temper at games,
and particularly avoid the exhibition
of anxiety or vexation at want of sue
cess.
Let presents 10 lady be character
lied by taste, not remarkable for in
trinsic value.
Except under very decided circum-
stances, it is both ungentlemanly and
dangerous to cut person If you
wish to rid yourself Of any ones socie-
ty, a cold bow in the street, and par
tcular ceremony in the circles of your
mutual acquaintance, is the best mode
of conduct to adopt.
Never introduce your own affairs for
the amusement Of a company--it
shows sad want of mental cultivation
or excessive weakness of intellect

then all your discomfort will easily b,
dispersed; do not pore upon your losses
but ponder upon your mercios. What
wouldst thou have no cross at all /
Why should one man think TO have all
good things, when he himself is good
but in part9 Wouldst thou have nc
evil about thee, who hast so much evil
in thee? Thou art not fully sanctifed
in this life, how then thinkest thou to
be fully satisfied? Never look for per
lection Of contentment till there be
perfection of grace. - Hlatson

A FASHIONABLE PARLoR.-Mrs. Har-
riet Beecher Stowe, in her blouse and
Home Papers in the atlantic Monthly,
speaks thus of this peculiar American
institution;
"How many people do we call on
from year, and know no more of their
feelings, habits, tastes, family ideas,
and ways than if they lived in Rants
chatka I? And why? Because the
room they call a front parlor is made
expressly so that you never shall know.
They sit in a back room-work, talk,
read, perhaps. After servant has let
you in and opened crack in the shut
tiers, and while you sit waiting for
them to change their dress and come
in, you speculate as to what they may
be doing. From some distant region
the laugh Of child, the song of a ca
nary bird reaches you, and then
door claps hastily to. Do they love
plants? Do they write letters. sew.
embroider, crochet? Do they romp
and frolic? What books do they read
Do they sketch or paint OF all these
possibilities mute and muiiled room
says nothing. A sofa, six chairs, two
ottomans fresh from the upholsters,
Brussels carpet a comfortable with
four gilt books of beauty ON it, man
Textbook from Paris, two bronze vases
-all these tell you only in frigid tones,
This is the best room" only that
and nothing more-and soon she trips
in in her best clothes and apologises
for keeping you waiting, asks you how
your mother is, and you remark that
it is apleasant day--and thus the ac-
quaintance progresses from year to
year One hour in the little back

No MIDDLE-AGED PEOPLE IN FRANcE-
There are two things no nation of the
Continent possesses, spring, and mid
dle-aged people. You may be young
for good long spell--some have been
known, by the judicious appliances of
art to keep on for sixty years or so !;
but when you do pass the limit, there
is no neutral territory-no mezZo ter
mine. Fall out of the young guard,
and you must serve as veteran. The
successive changes of temperament and
taste which we mark at home have no
correlatives abroad. The foreigner in
habits at sixty the same sort of world
he did at six-andtwenty +; he does not
dance so much, but he fingers in the
ballroom. and he is just as keenly alive
to all the little naughty talk hat
amused him forty years ago, and fully
as much interested to hear that the
world is just as false and rs wicked as
it used to be when he was better able
to contribute to its frailty and wicked
ness. Bldck1Uood. sa

FEMALE ENGLISH CoLLIERs. Some few
months since, happening to be in Wi
gan, my attention was directed to
the, unwonted spectacle of one OF
those female golfers returning home
wards from her daily labor. 1t was
difficult to believe that the unwomanly
looking being who passed before me
was actually female yet such was
the case. Clad in coarse, greasy, and
patched fustian unmentionables and
jacket thick canvas shirt, great heavy
hob-nailed boots, her features com
pletely begrimmed with coal dust, her
hard horny hands carrying the spade,
pick, drinking-tin, sieve, and other par
aphernalia of her occupation, her not
irregular features wearing bold, def
ant expression, and with nothing wo-
manly about her except two or three
laten evidences of feminine weakness
in the shape of coral necklace, pair
of gittering earrings, and a bonnet
which, as regards shape, size and color
strongly resembled the fantail hat of
London eoalheayer she proceeded
mabashed through the crowded street,

grading spectacle as being anything

Growing Rich.

Your nephew, Felix Graham, is
growing rich, hear, said my neigh
Dor Jones, as he carried me to the de-
pot, whence | was to start for visit
to my sisters son.
Perhaps so, was my brief reply; 4
do not know the state of his finances.
There is no doubt of it, 1 should
think, he rejoined. My brother met
him last winter at the city savings
bank, and saw him deposit thousand
dollars as the net gains of his farming
the past year. hear he is driving a
great business this summer, and he
will probably have another pile for in
vestment when January comes round
again. But you are going there, and
will see for yourself; so, good by

my intention to go there by the early
morning train,I was little disappoint-

dwelling, and about two miles distant, }
not to see the horse and chaise which
had always been sent to meet me.
However there was decent convey
ance called the Grahamville Express,
which would take me almost to my
nephew's door; and so / went along.
The driver knew me, for the village
had been my home before my mar
riage and removal to the city; and he,
too, spoke of Felix Graham as a man
to be envied for his steady and grow
ing prosperity.

SOMEBODY'S DARLING.

ic,o ward Of the whitewasbed halls,
Where the dead and dying lay,
Wounded by bayonets, shells, and balls,
somebody's darling was borne one day
Somebody's darling, SO young and go brave,
Wearing yet on his pale sweet face,
Soon to 30 hid by the Kat o. the grave,
The lingering light Of his boyhood's face.
Matted and damp are the curls Of gold,
Kissing the snow Of that fair young brow;
Pale are the lips Of a delicate mould
Somebody's darling il dying now,
Rack from his beautiful blue-voined brow,
Brush all the wandering waves of gold;
Cross his hands on his bosom now,
Somebody's darling is still and cold.
Kiss him once for somebody's sake,
Murmur prayer soft and low;
One bright curl from it's fair mates take,
They we're somebody's pride, you know;
Somebody's hand hath rested there,
Was it mothers, soft and white ?
And have the lips Of sister fair
Been baptized in the waves Of light7
God knows best he was somebody's love;
Somebody's heart enshrined him there;
Somebody waited his name above,
Night and morn on the wings Of prayer.
Somebody wept when he marched away.
Looking SO handsome, brave and grand;
Somebody's kiss on his forehead lay,
Somebody chung to his parting hand.
Somebody's waiting and watching for him
Yeafning TO hold him again to her heart;
And there he lies, with his blue eyes dim,
And the smiling, childlike lips apart.
Tonderly bury the fair young dead,
Pausing to drop in his grave tear;
Carve on the wooden slab at his head,
Somebody's darling SAUNDERS here"
