BOY LOVE:

One Of the queerest and funniest things
to think of, in after life, is boy love. No
sooner does boy acquire tOlerable stat4
ur3 than he begins to imagine himself
man, and to ape manisE ways. Ee casts
side gIanoes at all the tall girls he may
meet, becomes = regular attendant at
church or meetirg, carries a cane, holds
his head erect, and st-uts little in his
walk. Presently, and very sOORy he falls
in love yes, falls is the proper word, be-
cause it best indicates his happy, deliriOus,
self-abasement. He lives now in a fairy
region, sOmeEhat collateral 20 the FOrlay
aud yet blended somehow iis2tTicahlE
with it. He perfumes his hair with fra
grant oils, scatters essences over his handt
kerchief, and desperately slaves and am
noints for beard. He quotes poetry ID
which love and dove heart and dart
peculiarly prsdominate, and be plunses
deeper in the delicious labyrinth, .faneies
himself filled with divine afiatus, and sud-
denly breaks into q scarlet Tash-Of FhyHie..
lie feeds upon the looks Of his Beloved
is raised to the seventh heaven if she
speaks q pleasant word; IS betrayed into
the most astonishing ecstacies by a smile;
and is plunged into the gloomiest region
Of missnthrOphy by a froWn- He Believes
himself the most devoted lover in
the world. There never was such another.
There never Will be. He is the one great
idolator! Wealth. he despises the groyel-
ing thought. Poverty, with the adorable
beloved, he rapturOusly apostrophises as
the first ofall earthly blessings aqd" love
in the cottage, with water and crust, IS
his beau-idedl of a paradise Of dainty de-
lights. He declares to himself, with the
most solemn emphasis, that he would 60
through fire and water ). undertake pill.
grimage to China or Kanlschatka; swim
storm-tosse1 oceans; scale impossible
mount ains, and face l6gioRs Of bayonets,
for but one sweet smile from her lips. He
dJtes upon a flower she has cast away.
He cherishes her glove-a little worn IN
the fingers next to his heart. He signs
like a locomotive letting of steam. He
scraWls her dear name over quires of
fooIscap-a fitting medium for his insani-
ty. He scornfuily depreciates the atten-
ton of other boys of his age; cuts Pc
ter Tlbbts dead because be. said thatthead-
orable Angelina had carroty hair; and
passes Harry Bell contemptously for dar-
ing to compare " that gaEky Mary Jane"
with his incompatible Angelina. Happy!

The Effect CT Marriage.

Doubtless you have remarked, with sat
isfaction, how the little oddities Of men
who marry rather late in life are pruned
away speedily after their marriage. You
have foand man who used to be shabbily
and carelessly dressed, with q huge shirt
collar frayei at the edges, and 9 glaring
yellow silk pOcket-handerchief, broken Of
these things, and become aPattern Of neat
ness. You have seen a man whose hair
and Whiskers were ridicu1ously cut, speed
ily become like other human beings. You
have seen a man who used to sing ridicu-
lous continental songs, leave them of
You, have seen a man who took snuff
ccPiously, and who generally had his
breast covered with snuff, abandon the
vile habit. A wife is the grand wieller
Of the moral pruning knife.
If Johnson's wife had lived, there
would have been no boarding up Of bits
of orange peel; nc touching all the posts
in walking along the street; no eating
and drinking with disgusted veracity
If Oliver Goldsmith had married, he
would never have worn that mem orabie
and ridiculous coat. Whenever you find
man whom you know little about, odd
ly dressed, or talking ridiculously, or ex-
hibiting eceentricity Of manner, you may
be sure that he Is not a married man. For
the little corners are rounded of, the lit
tie shoots are pruned away, in married
men The Vife's cares are the ballast that
keeps the ship steady. They are Ike
the wholesome, though painful, shears,
nipping off the little growths Of self-cOn-
ceit and folly.-Frease1'S Maga=ile.

& Secret of Youth,

There are women who cannot grow old
women who, without any special effort,
remain always young and always attTac-
tive. The number is smaller than 1t
should be, but still there is a sufficient
number to mark the wide difference be-
tween this class and the other. The secret
of this perpetual youth lies not in beauty,
for some women possess who are not at all
handsome; nor in dress, for they are fire.
quently -cafeless in that respect, so far as
the mere arbitray 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 idleness will fret people iuto old age
faster than over>work. The charm, we
imagine, lies in a sunny temper-uelihcr
more nor less, the blessed gilt of always
looking on the bright side of life, and OF
stretching the mantle or charity over
everybody faults and filings. 1t isnot
much of a secret, but it Is all that we
have been able to discover, and We have
watched such interest, and determi-
nation to report truthfully for the beue-
fit of the rest Of the sex. 1t Is very pro-
voking that it is something which cannot
be corded up and sold for Fifty cents a
bottle; but as this is impossible, Why the
most of us will keep on growing old, ugly,
and disagreeable as usual.-JeRHy JaHc.

The Martyrdom of Pope St. Ciomsut

Among the legendary paintings recent
Iy discovered in the ancient Bnsilica Of
St. Clement, in Rome, is one illustrating
the poetic legenl of the martyrdom Of
Pope St. Clement, on the coast Of Cher
son, or the Crimea. After working as a
slave with other Christian victims, in the
stone qua7ries, be was drowned in the
Euxiue Sea, but his body was miracu-
lously Or, s.rved in a splendid temple built
under the water by angelic hands And
every year, on the ann. .Versary Of his death,
the waves retreated, leaving a passage
of dry ground for the faithful to visit and
worship ct that mysterious shrine. Once
according to the .fable) it happened that
a mother brought her young child with
her on this solemn occasion, and, return
inq, left the boy in the temple, imagining
he had followed with other children
brought by parents to join in the same
devotion. To her agony she found the
sea had flowed back, subpergipg, before
she could rerace her steps to that martyrs
shrine. On the next anniversary she re-
turned, with other worshipers;and' thereto
her unspeakable joy and establishments lay
herlost sou asleep before the tomb IN
scathed and unconscious; till be aWoke in
he armsl This story isrepresented in three
distinct pictures.

Beauty of the Turkish Women.

As to the beauty of mere dress and
ease Of attitude, nothing that / have seen
in life or in pictures can give the slight
est idea of the wonderful grace the ex~
trsms del;caty, and bird-of paradise ike
usefulness of the Turkish belle. WO~
men Of rank look like hOt-hOuse flowers,
and are really cultivated to the highest
perfection Of physical beauty, having no
other employment but to make their skins
as saow-white and their eyebrows as jet
black as possible. When young their
skin is literally as white as their wells,
with the faintest tings Of pink on the
check, like that in the inside Of shell,
which blends exquisitely with the tender
appIe-leaf green and soft violet cOlors, OF
which they are so fond. The reverse Of
the picture Is, that after the first bloom Of
Youth is past the skin becomes yellow
and sicklv.lcoking, aud you long to give
the yash-mak a pull and allow the fresh
breeze to brigten up the fqe features. A,
belle, and a beauty, too, the TURKISH
woman must be; for nothing can be mare
wrstcLed than to see the peOF thing at
tempting to walk, or to make herself at
all useful. She shufEes along the grSund'
exactly like an embarrassed patequet,
looking as if her loose gar.neutsssasFi1t-
eyitably sutter off at tie next step. TIE
drapcry which falls so gracefully and cas-
lily about her in d carriage, or while re-
clining on Cushions, seems untidy and
awkward when she is moving about. In
fact, II sheis not beauty, and is not the
Property OFFS rich man, she is the most
miserablc-iooSiDg creature possibly

Rank in America.

Secretary Fessonden, on leaving the
Trcae-ry Department, addressed the
Chiefs Of the different bureaus Of the
Department, and in the course Of lis
speech uttered the following words, which
are worthy to be engraven and become
household words in every American FAM
lily; q can only say that in my opinion,
however we may be placed relatively,
either in department or elsewhere, no
man in this country is above the rank Of
a gentleman, and every man who consci-
eptiously performs his duty is entitled to
Ue treated as such. Acting in this belief,

gentleman. He had some time before
been unjustly treated, as he thought, by
another person in 2 negotiation and was
accordingly, though Of happy tempera-

offended him; and he said 50. Mark
how the flint carried fire. About a month
afterwards, friend acquainted with the
circumstance, received a note from him,
recommending the person who had done
the wrong to'a lucrative situation IN the
bank where he was one of the directors.
The friend was much surprised, Of course;
and a day or two afterwards, meeting Mr..
A., inquired chow he came to be exert

TH ~ WORLD.

Tor the Plain Deaer.) -
TH ~ WORLD.
We speak of the world and we call it cold;
We talk of its heartless crew:
OF its myriads Of people everywhere,
So cold, SO proud, SO untrue;
And forget that the names of all are stamp
ed on its scroll,
And ave are fractional parts of the whole.
Though the surface is dark, and frowning
and cold,
Yet, down in the worlds deep sea,
There are sparkling currents and warm
gulf streams,
That we often fail to sce .....
The bitter waters on the surface flow
And the sweet are oftencst found below.
We as Oft misudge others, as we are misjud
ged,
We always pass decree,
Simply from what we hear others say,
Or, merely from what wo see;
Though the face is dull aid the speech is slow
There may be fountain Of wit below.
There's heart beneath with thousand
chords,
And the face is only its screen;
And we often judge, yes, harshly Judge,
What we have never seen,
The face may be an expressionless scroll,
but it's net the mirror of the SOUL
We love to look on blooming face,
An eye undimmed by care;
We love the bright oh elk md snowy brow.
And the waves Of ripping har;
The silvery pearl when the red lip part,
Yet, It's but the wall Of breaking heart.
Even the friends we meet with most
We seldom read light,
There is something beneath the placid look,
That is yelled from human sight;
They are pleased, yet grieved, and we know
not why
There's smile on the lip, but tear il
the eye.
Thus, the form may DO graceful, the fact
may be fair
The voice like silver chime,
Tie brow uudimmed by tho lapse of years
Unfurrowed by care or time
But deep in the soul is an aching smart,
There's smile on the lip, but pain in th,
heart.
