MoDEsTY AND PRuDERY. Women that
are the least bashful, are not unfrequently
the most modest; and we are never more
deceived than when we would infer any
laxity of principle from the freedom of de-
meanor which often arises from total ig-
noraoce of vice. Prudery, on the contra
ry, is often assumed, rather to keep off the
suspicion Of criminality, than criminality
itself, and is resorted to, to defend the fair
wearer, not from the whispers Of the other
sex but her own it is cumbersome pan
oply and, like heavy armor, is seldom
worn, except by those who attire them
selves for the combat, or who have receiv.
ed O wound.

LOST

I'm thinking tonight Of the beautiful girl
lost so long ago
Loot In the SplendOr Of Fashions mad whirl,
Lost, lost in simmer Of d diamOnds and pearls,
And laeeS aud SatinS Of snow.
Once she was only the beautiful flower
That grew In my hearts deep core
Now Bhs iS welded to fashion and power,
Aye, welded for life for an old nan's dover,
For life and forever more
Oh l can not forget the smile and the glance
That made my heart throb with Joy,
As floating along. like q star, In the dance
A touch OF her hand pierced my heart like .
The heart other lOver.bOy.
30 innocent, artleSS aud ehildlike, 90 fair!
A star In the brow Of night
Her white shoulders Veiled In laee-WoTk oi
hair,
And snowy robes aOating around her Ike air,
Flsecy and DOiseleSS and light.
She 10 bsautiful still, but naughty and prOHd
She tossed her queenly head,
AZ che AutteTS along with the dcating crowd
Her jewels and ve.vetS are only shroud
To hide heart that 10 dead
I'm thinking to night Of the beautiful girl
loved so deep and wild
Lost, lost In the SplendOr Of faShion's mao
whiTl,
Lost, lost in the simmer Of opal and pearl,
Lost, the sweet innocent child
II may have been rest. but I'm dreary to- night
With thoughts I can not control;
The old, old love that 1 quenehed burncth
bright,
And her face, like star in halo Of light,
10 shining within my soul.

PRIN PEoPLE.-There Is a set of people
whem can not bear-the pinks Of fash
ionable propriety-whose every move
ment is unexceptionable; but who, though
well versed in all the categories of polite
behavior, have not a particle of soul or cor
diality about them. We allow that their
manners may be abundantly correct.
There may be elegance in every gesture,
and gracefulness in every position, not n
smile out of place, and not step that
would not bear the measurement Of the
closest scrutiny. This is all very fine; but
what l want is the heart in the gaity of
social iDtercoursc-the frankneSs that
spreads ease and animation-the eye that
speaks affability to all, that chases timid-
ity from every bosom, and tells evey man
in the company to be confident and hap
py. This is what conceive to be the vir-
tue Of the text, and not the sickening form,
ality Of those who walk by rule, and would
reduce the whole Of human life to wire.
bound system of misery and constraint.-

"DAT VOs NIx."-Not long since an

before one of our magistrates, and made
complaint against gay LothariO for com.
pensatory damages for stealing his wife's
clothing. The lady occupied the interior
of the clothing at the time of the theft, but
this fact seemed to be ignored by the com
plainant. The dispenser of justice sug-
gested that instead Of trying to recover
the value Of the dry goods, suit be instl.

ASKING FOR A PAss.-The Buffalo Cou

inent railroad gentleman, who is equally
renowned for his ability to make and
take joke. A Rirood employe, whose
home is in Avon, Game on Saturday nigh
to ask a pass down to visit his family:
"You are in employ of the railroad p
inquired the gentleman alluded to.
"Yes."
You receive your pay regularly !"
Yes"
"Well. Now suppose you were work.
ing for q farmer instead Of a railroad
would you expect your employer to hitch
up his team every Saturday night and
carry you home ?"

wouldn't expect that; but If the farmer
had his team hitchcd up, and was going
my way, should call him a darned mean

Mr.. employe came out three minutes
afterwards with pass, good for twelve

SU'ruING PERMANENT The Knicker-
booker Magazine is responsible for the
following: One pleasant Sunday, in Glas.
gov, . stalwart Highlandman entered O
Drug Store, or apothecary shop, and said.
Have ye any spirits or alcohol The
shops are closed and Gamma get quagih
O. Glenlival or Islap. I'm thirsty. Can.
na ye 81 me wee drap O. somethin' warm
ing
It really seemed q hard case; and the
good hearted apothecary helped him to
what he supposed to be an uncommOnly
stiff horn Of pure spirits of alcohol.
The man, who drank it of, gave one
wild look, then spread his two bands sud-
denly over the abdominal portions of his
person, and Immediately vacated the
premises.
The apothecary was startled. What
was the matter He took down the YES
sci from which he had poured the devour.
ing fluid, and found that be had given the
man 10 mistake bumper of aquafortis /!
He was half frightened to death. The
man had left his hat behind him, and the
apOthecary, bareheaded, rushed out with
it 10 his hand, his hair flying in the wind,
aud made hot pursuit after the fugitive.
But he was hopelessly gone.
What . life the poor fellow lived for
three months! He was afraid to open the
daily newspapers lest. he should see re.
corded the mysterious and melancholy
death OF his victim in the public streets
At length however his fears died away
Nothing was heard Of the missing suffer
er until about six months from the event
when one Sunday morning, who should
walk In but the individual himself!
Have you got, said he to the astonished
apothecary, any more of that liquor you
soldme the last time was here If you
have, give me horn. never tasted any
thing like it. It went right to the spot
Why 1t lasted . fortnight! No reduction
about that fluidI
But the apothecary contented himsel
this time, by giving his returned customer
glass of pure spirits, and bis old hat b.
had left the time before.
