A SECRET OF YOUTH. There are wo-
men who cannot grow old-women who
without any special effort, remain always
young and always attractive. The number
is smaller than it should be, but there is still
a sufficient number to mark the wide differ
ence between this class and the other. The
secret of this perpetual youth lies not in
beauty, for some women possess it who are
not at all handsome, nor in dress, for they
are frequently careless in that respect, so far
as the mere arbitrary dictates of fashion are
concerned; nor in having nothing to do, for
these ever young women are always as busy
as bees, and it is very well known that idle.
ness will fret people into old age and ugli-
ness faster than overWork. The charm. we
imagine, lies, in a sunny temper; neither
more nor less-the blessed gift of always
looking on the bright side Of life, and of
stretching the mantle of charity ovOr every.
body's faults and faihngs 1t is not much Of
secret; but it is all we have been able to
discover, and we have watched such with
great interest, and determination to report
truahtully for the benefit of the rest of the
sex. It's very provoking that it is some.
thing which cannot be corked up and sold
for fifty cents bottle bat as this is impos.
slble, why the most of us will have to keep
on growing as ugly and disagreeable as pos.
sible.

THE Proud MANA proud man is a
fool in fermentation, that swells and boils
over like pOrridge- pot He sets ont his
feathers like an owl, to swell and seem big
ger than he is. He is troubled with tumor
and inflammation fselEconceit, that renders
every part Of him stiff and uneasy. He has
given himself sympathetic love powder, that
works upon him to dotage, and has trans
formed him into his own mistress he makes
most passionate addresses to his own dear
perfections. He is his own favorite, and
advances himself not only above his merit,
but all mankind. He gives place to no man
but himself, and that with very great dis
tance to all others, whom he esteems not
worthy to approach him. He believes what
ever he has received to bave a value in be-
ing his; as a horse in a nobeman's stable
will bear greater price than in a common
market. He is as hard to be acquainted with
himself as with others, for he is very apt to
forget who he is, and knows himself only su-
Perhcially. He strives to look bigger than
himself, as well as others, and is no better
than his own parasite and fatterer.

ESSAY ON DoGs-Josh Billings favors
the world with a brief essay on dogs. "Dogs
in the lump" says Josh, "are useful, but
they are uOt always profitable. The Nufoud-
lin dog is useful to save children from
drowning; bat you have got to have pond
Of water, and children running about kare.
less, or else the dog aint profitable. There
amt nothing made boarding a Nufoundlin
dog. Rat terriers are useful to ketch rats;
but the rats aint profitable after you have
ketched them. The shepherd is useful to
drive sheep; but if you have to 60 and buy a
flock Ofsheep; and pay more than tha are
wuth, jest to keep the dog bizzy, the dog
amt proftable-not much. Lap dogs are
very useful; but if you don't hold them in
your lap awl the time they aint profitable at
all. The coach dog is one of the most useful
ov dogs l know ov; but you have got to have
coach (and that aint always pleasant) or
you can't realize from the dog. Thus we
see that, while dogs are generally useful,
there are times when they amt generally
profitable"

A Fix FOR A YOUNG GENTLEMAN
A very nice young gentleman, whose name
we dOnot deem it necessary to ventilate, re-.
Gently invested small sum in chickens
which he undertook to take home on the
Dauphin street cars After proceeding a
short distance, the attention of all the pas
sengers, large proportion of whom were la
dies, was called to him by one of his pur-
chases raising loud and continued cackle.
In vain he tried to quiet the bird The la
dies "tittered" and pulled down their wells;
the gentlemen on board shaw .hawed," and
our young friend in his ignorance of "the
situation,,' blushed. Growing somewhat
restless at being the cynosure of all eyes, he
cast look into his lap, and behold-there
was an egg! He Immediately quit the car
and pursued his way homeward on foot. In

crate in the second story by some detect
in the hearth to the joists and laths'
and had made considerable progress be-

mates Of the house not occupying the

SLOWLY progressed for some time before 1t

tanned will be considerable, rs the great
er portion of the joists, boards and plas-
tering of the second floor OF the room in
which it occurred was destroyed, and the
furniture was necessarily injured in eN'
tinguishiug the flames and in its hasty
removal.
