AITS OF CHARACTER AS DEvELl
IN SHAKING HANDS.

The most agreeable shake of the
hand is that meaning, welcoming grasp,
warm but not painful in pressure,
which stands guarantee to the sympa-
thetic look and kindly spoken word.
The most abominRble hand-shaking is
that lazy, listless Offering, giving no
pressure, and averSe to receiving any.
We have shaken hands with such per
sons, and the memory of it has annoy
ed us TOR an hour afterward. It was
like touching wet dishclOth, or cold,
quivering frog. An embarrassing
shake of the hand is, when the party
greets you hastily, yet silently, as II he
fell guilty of boldneSs, or was not quite
sure that he had not been misIed by a
resemblance. 1t is as awkward as a
pause in conversation.
Perhaps, to young lovers, the quiet,
hRlE-nnfntentional contact of hands is

None have yet come home to me,
But. are sailing to and fro.

Plunging through the shoreless deep,
With tattered sails and battered hulls,
While around them screamed the gulls
Flying low, flying low.
have wondered why they strayed
From me, sailing round the world;
And I've said, 'T'm half afraid
That their sails will ne'er be furled."
Great the treasures that they hold,
Silks, and plumes, and bars Of gold;
While the spices that they bear,
Fill with fragrance all the air.
AS they sail, as they sail.
All each sailor in the port
Knows that have ships at sea.
Ofthe waves and winds the sport,
And the sailors pity me.
Oft they come and with me walk,
Cheering me with hopeful talk,
Till put my fears aside,
And, contented watch the tide
Rise and fall, rise and fall.

Gazing for them down the bay,
Days and nights for many years,
Till turned heart sick away.
But the pilots, when they land,
Stop, and take me by the hand,
Saying, "You will live to see
Your proud vessels come from sea,
One and all, one and ALL"
So never quite despair,
Nor let hope or courage fail;
And some day, wheE skies are fair,
Up the bay my ships will sail.

Prints TO look at, books to read.
Horses, wines and works of art,
Everything except heart,
That is lost, that is lost.
Once when l was pure and young,
Richer, too. than l am now,
Ere cloud was DER me flung,
Or wrinkle crossed my brow,
There was one whose heart was mine,
But she's something now divine.
And though come my ships from sea,
They can bring no heart to me

Secretary Harlan's letter to the
serenaders, reminds the Detroit Post
of two boys who once dug for wood
chuck, without knowing the animal
was at home. After digging away
without achieving any result, one of
the lads thrust his arm down the hole,
when the woodchuck seized his finger
and bit it to the bone, elciting yell,
that would have done honor to an
Indian warrior. "What's the matter,
Joe 2" said Jim. Thunder and light
ningp returned Joe, fourishing his
mutilated member vigorously, "he's

The EDITORIAL TREADMILL.-The
Home Journal thus describes the edi-
torial burdens:
at is one of the hardships of our
profession that its working wheels
brain and heart-are not allowed to
lag for sickness or stop for calamity
of sorrow. The judge may adjourn
his court, the school and workshop
may close its shutters, the mourner
may veil his features, and turn friend
and stranger from his door, journalists
must forget before tomorrow the sor-
rows of to-day. must write gaily and
freshly as newsmonger, on the trife
of an hour, whatever has been laid
upon that same hour by Providence
or his brains as man. 1t sometimes
tries and mocks as the world that
mocks never dreams of. The public
look upon the EDITORS labor, as the
Indian did upon the man who was
cutting hay. He finally gave the
opinion that it was "niee to see the
white man mow."

Women Judged by the Color of their
Pefficnnfs.

The following is from married man,
who knows whereof he speaks: 1.-THE
way to judge of wOman's character
at first sight is to ascertain the color OF
her petticoat. A black petticOat indi-
Gates low spirits, hatred of wash-tubS
and activity, and taste for dyspeptic
literature and Quietude. A lady who
wears black petticoat could no more
read and understand this paragraph
than she could suck up the Atlantic
with a three cent syringe. A white
pettieoat shows character just oppo-
site-an unsullied mind, and taste FOL
romance. Awoman who takes naturally
10 white petticoats, and never wears
any other, is an institution to which
young gentlemen of connubial proclivi.
ties should lose no time in paying due
attention. The red petticoat, however,
is something of which mankind should
beware; it is the insignia of Xantippe,
n style of females who cut their toe
nails with their husbands raz0rs.' II
NAV all be true, rs the fellow says, but
the petticOat is something we never
heard of before, and consequently we
plead ignorance Of the whole matter.

FoRNEY THREATENS TEXAS. : The
Washington Chronicle of yesterday thus
foreshadows what is to be done with
Texas by the Radicals. 1t says: '.i
The people Of Texas, in refusing to
ratify the constitutional amendment,
have rendered themselves liable to the
imposition of harsher terms. Probably
the best thing for them would be a d.
vision of the State and the establish
ment of universal suffrage. The latter,
it is well known, has been proposed by
leading Radicals in, case the, Southern
States refuse the terms ofrestoration al
ready offered by Congress. ..

Behavior mt Church.

Nothing furnishes surer index of a
young gentleman's or lady's character
than his or her behavior at church. II
you see a young man walk into church
and take his seat and pay proper atten-
ton to the religious exercises, you may
be assured that young man has self-re-
spect and good moral character. The
same may be said of a young lady who
acts in like manner. But, on the con-
trary, if you see the smile of scorn rising
to the lips of a young man as he wit
nesses some portion of the services, you
may set that chap down as brainless
chap, having neither sense, manners,
nor morals. fla young lady, set her
down as q frivolous and be sure never
to select her as wife. She will cause
YOU sorrow if you do. If You are a pre-
testant and attend Catholic worship,
conform as far as your conscience will
permit you to the mode of worship
practiced by that church, and let your
demeanor be sober and dignified, and
rice rersd if you are Catholic.

Introduction 10 Society.
An English writer remarks that at O
dinner party under ordinary circum-
stances, there is always sort of friend
less between the guests, although we
cannot deny that there are some awful
dinner-tables where very faint buzz OF
conversation is frequently broken by
gaps of primeval silence. Under ordi-
nary circumstances, again, unless we
have been peculiarly unfortunate in the
choice of guests, a dancing party must
20 off tolerably well. But at a large
evening party, with nothing to amuse
the people, what chance of liyeliness is
left 1t is not uncommon to see all the
ladies sitting in circle round the room,
With a dense and timid covey of men
lowering on the doorway; one or two,
holder than the rest, sometimes ventur-
ing to cross the room into the charmed
circle. What is the remedy for this
state of things! Naturally one answers,
introduce the guests to one another, and
so force them to be sOciable. And here
all the tact of the lady of the house
must come out. 1t is grand mistake
to come to q gentleman in q sort OF
pleading way, and say, "Now, do let me
Introduce you to some one there are all
those young ladies on the sofa, and no
one to speak to them~ Human nature
generally rebels against this, probably
because it seems to imply that a little
resistance will spare you the infiietion.
What we find the unvarying triumph
is when the hostess assumes, as only Ia
dies can, that general imperiousness
which neither knows nor could accept
denial. NOW you must come across
tie room with me am going to in
troducc you to friend of mine" Alas
brethren, we have no guns to silence
this battery-we follow the captor
dropping and resistless. 1t is exactly
as this point, that the grand difficulty
comes in which is the bugbear, that
haunts every form of introduction.
When, the procession, consisting of
your hostess and yourself, halts in front
of y young lady, You are conscious OF a
few muttered syllables, a slight infiec-
ton Of the vcrtebre, and Your hostess
has vanished while you are left to your
fate. The name of your young friend
You fail TO catch; she is equally at a
loss Us to yours, and the natural per
plexity that presents itself to both OF
YOU is what to begin to talk about. 1t
is positively awful to ordinary men, but
to man with factor a woman VITA WIT,
there is no difficulty whatever.

AEeu Words ON squeezing.

While we are growing very sensible
indeed in the matter of dress. as far rs
boots, Balmoral skirts, warm stockings
and high necks, We are degenerating in
some other matters quite as important.
The corset is now necessary part of q
woman's wardrobe; and, alas! when Il
woman does begin to wear corScts, she
will wear them to small. and will tug
ut the laces until her breath becomes
short, and she feels it necessary to re-
frain from anything like a comfortable
meal. We say nothing against we'll
shaped corset worn loose, but there lies
the difficulty. A loose corset injuries
the appearance of the figure, instead OF
improving ii, and people wear corsets
that they may have small waists. All
We can say is, don't squeeze, whatever
you do; YOU may have small waists,
but you are exposing yourself to Il
dozen misfortunes which are as bad rs
large waist. First, you'll surely have
dyspepsia, and grow yellow. and cross,
and unhappy; secondly, your hands
will grow red; thirdly, You nose
fourthly, you will be unable to walk a
mile at once !. filthy, dinner will be a
misery; sixthly, your shoulder blades
will increase in size and altitude
seventhly, your eyes will grow weak
eighthly, you will break down at thirty
or thereabouts, and be a sickly old wo-
man from that time forth. If these
truths do not Brighten women from tight
corsets, perhaps the information that
gentlemen generally do not admire
what dressmakers call q pretty fig
ure" so much as n natural one. may
have some influence.
