Throwing her priceless soul away,

valuable, not convenient, simply, but lovely

let her opinion be asked, her approval sought,
and her judgment respected in matters Of which
she is c6gnizant; in short, let her only be low

FEMALE INFLUENCE. The character of the
young men of community depends much on
that of the young women. If the latter are pi-
ously cultivated Intelligent and accomplished,
the young men viii feel the requirement that
they themselves should be upright, gentlemanly
and refined; but if their female friends are vain,
frivolous and silly, the young men will be found
to be dssipated and worthless. But remember,
always, a sister is the best guardian ofa broth
er's integrity. She is the surest incubator of a
faith in woman's purity. As a daughter she is
the pure light of the home. The joy of the faith
er is oftenest centered on his daughter. She
should therefore, be the sum ami substance oi

A SHORT HoNEYNOoN.-The Grass Valley Ma

love: Some time since knight of the ribbons
was united in the holy bonds of wedlock with a
high-toned young lady whose occupation con-
sisted in Singing beer. The union proved to be
an ,nauspicious one. The gods smiled not up
unusually short one. The bride bad considera.
bic money; the bridegroom was affected by a cor
responding impecunIosiy. He seemed to think
that the order of things should be reversed, and
that be, as her ''lord and master, Z" should carry
the cash. Acting on this idea he induced her to
give it to him. Things went on swmmngly for
day or two, when she repented having given
him the money. His actions toward her led her
to believe that he had married her for money
only, and that he intended to run away from
her. She determined to get her money back.
She kissed him, she caressed him, she soothed
his aching brow, she impressed him with the
idea that she loved him. and with this happy
thought uppermost in his mind, he betook him

her tune. She asked him for her money he re-

THREE years. ago, Mr.. John Hill, tailor, of Dull

AT FIVE o'clock each morning, bell is rung
for the bathers to. repair to the bath, and then
comes one of the Ersst whimsical scenes that
can be imagined. The baths are great covered
reservoirs, capable of holding from twenty to
fifty persons, and into these the patients plunge
up to their necks in seething water, where they
remain 20 less than four hours at time; and
many of them twice a-day. Men and women
enter the same tanks, swimming about at will,
or fixing themselves behind floating tables, on
which they take breakfast or read books, or play
games of dominoes and chess. 1t is necessary
to relieve the tedium of so long an ablution, to
do something for amusements sake, and the
songs, the speeches. the repartees, the chorusses,
the roars oflaughter, the shouts ofapplause that
follow each other are endless All the resources
of French vivacity are brought to play to pas s
the time; and the effect of a half hundred heads,
which is all you can see ofthe persons thus va
rjously engaged, is to the last degree droll. Why
they are required to be kept so long in the water,
the doctors must tell you but you can easily
conceive that four hours immersion fer twenty
Eve days together, must be completely sfheaeiou'
to either kill or cure the sufferer But as no one
has been known to be killed, and many are re-
ported to have been cured, the logical suPposi
tiGn is ,'the bathing does gOcd. !" Suit

months, and to me, poor me, it seems like a huns

beloved Henry, will kill, yes, kill your fond, con-

would, to me, be mole than cool spring to the
parched traveller of the desert more than the

beefsteak to hungry dog, more than glass of

than A. johnson loves his toddy; yes, more than

Easy NE-HoD OF SHARPENING EDGE Tools
The simplest method OF sharpening a razor or
other edge tool, is to place the blade for about
half an hour in water containing one-twenIleth
of its weight of sulphuric or muriatic acid.
Upon taking the razor out, wipe 1t on hghtiy
on piece of soft rag and in few nours al
forwards ''set" it on strop. The acid suP>
plies the place of a milestone, by corroding the
entire surface uniformly, SO that nothing but
good polish is afterwards needed This process
never Injuries good razors, whilst poor ones are
often improved BY it.-Erchdnge. ..r

A LADY at Lexington, No., purchased "6zzle.

to bed, she hung her head>gear on the post at
the foot of her bed. Being awakened at some
unusual noise during the night she raised her
self ~ in bed, and seeing the unusual sight she
imagined a curly>headed negro was peering over
the foot board. Obeyiug very natural impulse
she sprang from her bed, and in her alarm and
inability to escape, she siezed the supposed in
truder by the head, and with a terrific scream
fell fainting to the floor. The noise awoxe the
mother of the lady, who Immediately struck a
light and proceeded to the scene of alarm. There
lay the daughter pale and motionless on the floor,
with the imaginary head of cuffy held at arm 5
length in a deadly grasp. Restoratives and a
momentary survey of the scene soon un-avelled
the mystery. Butthe ludicrousness ofthe whole
affair was too good to be kept. The Caucasian,

BAYARD TAYLOR, while recently camping out
in the Rocky Mountains, Colorado, experienced
three distinct electric shocks; probably, he says,
from the fact that he was insulated by the India
rubber cloth upon which he was lying, aud then
touched the earth with his hand. Ga the snowy
ranges persous are sometimes so charged, that
there are spUrks and cracking sounds at every
movement of their bodies. Men unac quaipted
with the phenomenon imagine that bees bave
gotten into their hair, and that rattlssuakes
are at their heels. Many strange stories are
told of the effect of the fluid, which seems to
manifest itself in an eccentric but not danger

PREACHER on FIRE.-The New York cor
respondent of the Boston Journal sends the fol-
lowing In one Of the Presbyterian churches,
the other Sunday morning, minister was off,
ciatig with all due decorum aud solemnitT. All
at once he began at once to cut up queer antics,
and shortly disappeared from public view, to
the no small astonishment of his auditors. The
pulpit being close one, boxed up on all sides
and the door shut, the people could rot tell
what was going on but smoke rising from the
pull it gave assurance that there Was fire some
where and the excited congre CATION learnt, af-
ter a while, that the minister was on fire. 1t
seems that lie had carried in his pockets lot of
loose lucifer matches, and they ignlted and set
him on ire. Assistance came aud the minister
(fre) was put out. The service was continued,
but the solemnity of the audience was not so
marked as on some other occasions. ..gs
