No Good From Passion.

"Will putting ones self in a passion mend
the matter ?" said an old man to boy who WI
had picked up stone to throw at dog. The
dog only barked at him in play.
ayes. it will mend the nlatter," said the pas
sionate boy, and quickly dashed tie stone at the
dog
The animal, thus outraged, sprang at the boy
and bit his leg, while the stone bounded against
shop window and broke pane of glass.
Out ran the shopkeeper, and seized the boy,
and made him pay for the broken pane.
He had mended the matter finely indeed!
Take my word for it, it never did, and never
will mend the matter to get into passion about
it. If the thing is hard to bear when your are
calm, it will be harder when you are in anger:
If YOU have met with a loss, you will only
increase it by losing your temper.
There is something which is very little-mind-
ed and silly in giving way to sudden passion
Do set yourself against it with all your heart.
Try, then, to be calm especially in trIiilng
troubles; end when greater ones come, try and
bear them bravely.

Different Views of Getting Married.

DR.. Thompson, in his Letters from Europe,
handsomely hints off the different views which
he obtain among different classes and differ
ent communities respecting marriage:
One says
Il wish to take advice about serious mat
ter that weighs heavily upon my mind"
"What is it?'
"Getting married. Is it best"
"Well, whom have you in view? If she is
young, handsome, and virtuous, the sooner you
get her the better. Who is she2"
"Oh, nobody in particular; it is marrying
in the abstract that l am thinking about
That is Young Germany.
"Zounds love her and will have her, If !
have to swim the river for her." Young Amer
lea.
"No use to deny me or run from me. Where
you go / will go, where you stop | will stop,
where you live | will live, where you die will
die, and where you are buried there will | be
buried" That is Young Ireland
She is worth three thousand one hundred
and twenty-seven pounds, six shillings and
four pence half penny, which, under the cir
cumstances, is not quite sufficient" Young

DEFERRED ARTICLES.
Negro Suffrage.

The Lancaster tO.) Gazette, in publishing the
Republican Platform, as set forth by the late
State Convention, says:
"Persons wishing to know the position Of the
Union party in this State upon the question
of reconstruction and negro suffrage, will find
it declared in the Platform adopted by the Un-
ion State Convention. President Johnson's
policy of reconstruction, as announced in his
proclamation for restoring North Carolina to
her former relations to the Government, Is en-
dorsed. This leaves the question ofnegro suff-
rage to be settled by the voters of the States
1t is clearly question for the States to settle
In some States the blacks will no doubt be enc
franchzed Immediately in others, perhaps not
at all. There are very few men in Ohio who
are in favor of changing the Constitution Of tho
State, which must be done before colored men
can VOTE"

A CoLoRED DIvISE.-A negro preacher
who like some other preachers, was IN the
habit of using big words, but did not always
succeed in getting hold Of thc right one, made
funny mistake oncei His text was, Broad
is the road that leadeth to death, and many
there be who go there; but narrow is the way
that leadeth to life, and few there be who take
it." aBeloved brudders, thar be two roads
ebbery body goes in one or udder ob'em; thar's
one road and dat am de broad road, and dat
leads right down to d---tion, and q great
many goes in it; but dar ain anudder road,
and dat am de narrer road dat leads straight
up to perdition." "If dat's de case" said an
excited colored brother in the congregation,
"dis nigga cuts for de woods"

Some of the young ladies in the village, who
had treated Sophia during her disastrous hours
with coldness and scorn, now began to call on
her with excuses and congratulations. Butshe
had learned to appreciate such friendship, and
had the frmness to tell them SO. Perhaps it
was imprudent; but she could not dissemble.
She could not "carry smiles and sunshine in
her face" when sense of the insults which she
had received from them "sat heavy on her
heart"
The consequence was united determination
among them to defeat the hopes of Sophia, by
destroying the confidence Of Mr. jackson in
her virtue.
The plans which they concerted for this pur-
pose, will be disclosed in the next chapter.
TO BE CONTINUED.

LADIES RIDING SIDEwAYs.-The lntroduc-
ton of this style of riding on horseback is at
tributed to Annie of Bohemia, consort OF hich-
ard II. She it was according to Stow, } who
originally showed the women Of England how
gracefully and conveniently they might ride on
horseback, sideways Another old historian,
epumerating the fashion of Richard IFS reign,
observes: eLikewise noble ladies then used
high heads, and corsets, and robes with long
trains. and seats on sidesaddIes on their horses,
by the example of the respectable Queen Annie
daughter of the King of Bavaria, who first III
troduced the custom into the kingdom; for oe-
fore, women of every kind rode as men.

The Basnful Man.
