The Nework Courier, in pleasant edi-
torial discourse on the ''Sorrows ofthe Sane
tum, tells some new anecdotes oftypograph-
ical errors. 1t wrote day or two ago that
Mr.. Atwater had introduced bill into the
Legislature, for the preservation of life and
health which the printers made " life and
leath."
A writer in the Trenton State Gazette,
last Summer, in descanting upon the eight
hour question, spoke of the length of
days toll, and was put in frame of mind
better imagined than described, to find it in
print, the length of dogs TAIL Nor
was this more provoking than an error of
the same nature which a number of years
ago appeared in the Boston Advertiser
Hon. Alexander H. Everett, brother of
the great Edward, had sent long letter up
on international affairs to that journal, which
closed with these words: ~ have thrown
together these few hasty remarks" etc.
Contemplate the establishment of the readers
of that venerable old daily when they saw,
the next morning, over the respectable sig
nature of Mr.. Everett--"I have thrown to-
gether these few nasty remarks" etc.

A Druukard yleuarcrte,

The most foolish predicament man can
get into is to get drunk. In drunkenness
every man blows his strongest and most ar
dent passion. An exchange divides drunk
ards into six classes, and says that in any
drinking saloon where there are dozen men
under the influence of liquor, six different
kinds of animals will be found. In order
that those who indulge to excess in intoxicat-
ing drinks--if there are such among our
readers-may see themselves as others see
them, we give these classifications
l. The ape-drunk. He leaps, and sings,
and yells and dances, making all sorts Of
grimaces, and cutting up all sorts of monkey
shines to excite the Laughter of his fellows
o, terribly silly is the drunkard clown.
2. The tiger-drunk. He breaks the bot
ties, breaks the chairs, breaks the heads OF
fellow carousers, and is full of blood and
thunder. His eyes are full of vengeance, and
his soul raves with murderous fury. OF this
sort are those who abuse their families
8. The hog-drunk. He rolls in the dirt
on the floor, slobbers and grunts, and going
into the street makes his bed in the first ditch
| or filthy corner he may fall into. He is heavy,
lumpish and sleepy, and cries in grunting
way for little more to drink.
4. The puppy-drunk. He will weep for
kindness, and whine his love and hug you
in his arms, and kiss you with his slobber-
| ing lips, and proclaim how much he loves
you. You are the best man he ever saw,
and will lay down his money or life for you.
3. The owl-drunk. He is wise in his own
conceit. No man must differ with him, for
his word is law. He is true in politics, and
in all matters he must be taken as authority.
His arm is the strongest, his horse the fieetest,
his turnps the largest, his voice the sweetest.
and his town the finest in all the land
6. The sixth and last animal of our nens.
geric, is the fox-drunk. He is crafty-rcady
to trade horses, and cheat if he can. Keer
to strike bargain, leering around with low
cunning, peeping through cracks, listening
under the caves, watching for some SUSPECT
Gus things, sly us fox, sneaking as wolf
he is the meanest drunkard Of them all.

We are sadly afraid that the popular taste
for the drama is becoming depraved, and
that the loose sensational plays Of the French
school are replacing the legitimate drama
upon our stage. 1t is well-known fact
that the most enterprising and successful
managers no longer rely upon classic rendi-
tions of Shakespeare, or admirable represen-
their houses. Spectacular pieces in which,
amid gorgeous scenery, some finely-outlined
female is introduced, are found to pay much
better, and to give more satisfaction to the
atre-goers. II some woman can be procured
who is willing to unsex herself, and assume
the dress of male, or worse than all, attire
herself in so scanty fashion that even
a man would hcsltite 10 initiate her,
the fortune OF the manager is made.

The Methodist Church is the Christian

A late Paris letter describes the dresses al
the court ball ut the palace of the Tuileries
The dresses are almost straight in front, with
very long trains. The skirts are cut biassed.
The waist on the shoulders is cut high, and
trimmings are placed not ON the upper part
of the sleeve but just above on the shoulder,
giving the expression of an epaulette. The
under sleeve is tight, and large outer sleeve
is coming in vogue, open from the top and
lined with some pretty colored silk, similar
to the color of the trimmings. For evening
dresses, velvets and satins are much worn.
For finish TO the waist pcptun, is Otter

from the waist, which separation highly

A Parisian Sensation.

What we ''are coming to" may~be Judged
by the following gossip from Paris -
Since my last letter, society in Paris has
been in great excitement. They ceased to
talk of the projected reforms, and NJ. Pou-
sard's new play, Gallee, and the tricks that
the censorship might play upon it, of the
Thousand and one brilliant salons of Paris,
of the quarrels of editors, ETC.; because every
tongue was busy discussing the news that
the Boufes- Porisions was to bring out
the play Oyphee ouT Enters will new
Culiol0n soon the excitement increased to
an intense degree when it was announced
that Miss Cora Pearl was to appear as Gu
pid, No one unacquainted with some
prominent features of Paris life could I'M
dersand why such an announcement stirred
Ia hoote socicto to its centre.
Read Edmond About's .Muoeloa, the sad
dssi book ever read in my life, and you
will see why Pere Hyacinthe recently
preached so violently against the deni-
monde. Mile. Cora Pearl, woman about
twenty-six. who dissolves money as Cleo
patr did her pearls, is known in Paris by
her fearless horsemanship, her exquisite
equipage, handsome horses and her Madelon
life. In her apartment, hung with rich
crimson velvet and furnished with eight OF
ten servants, she had given to some intimate
friends rehearsals Of Cupid, appearing before
them with how and arrow, and robed or dis.
roled as an Amour of Louis XIV.
For fifteen days then Paris waited il
breathless excitement to see this celebrated
character of the dcml-monde appear in a thir
transparent flesh -colored stuff, with pretty
blue velvet mantle ornamented with flower
and a gold fringe draping her shoulders
sporting hlue wings with white and gold
feathers. and sandals that yellow straps al
tached to her ankles. Artificial hair, In
which curls were interspcrscd, rested on the
top of her head and around her neck, whicl

YOUR MISSION.


IT you can not on the ocean
Siil among the swiitest fleet,
Rocking on the highest billows.
Laughing at the storms you meet,
Yon can stand among the sailors,
Anchored yet within the bay;
You can lend hand to help them.
As they launch their boat away.
II You are too weak to journey
Up the mountain, steep and high,
You can stand within the valley
While the multitudcs go by;
You can chant In happy measure,
As they slowly pass along
Though they may forget the singer,
They will not forget the song.
H. you have not gold and silver
Ever ready to command.
Iryou can not toward the needy
Reach an ever open hand;
You can visit the afflicted,
Ger the erring you can weep;
You can bea true disciple
Sitting at the Savior's feet.
IT you can not in the harvest
Garner up the richest sheaves,
Many grain, both ripe and golden,
VIII the careless reapers leave;
10 and CLEAN among the bricrs,
Growing rank against the wall,
For 1t may be that their shadow
Hides the heaviest wheat of all.
lfyou can not in the conflict
Prove yourself soldier true,
II, where fire and smoke are thiclSest,
There's no work for you to do;
When the battlefield is silent,
You can go with careful tread,
You can bear away The wounded,
You canrover up the &c ID.
DO not then, stand idly waiting
For some greater work to do;
Fortune Is Il lazy goddess
She will never come to you.
10 and toll in any vineyard,
Do not fear to do Or dare.
II you want a field of labor.
You can find 1t any where.

THE YOUNG WIDOW.


She il cunning sometimes witty.
Free and easy, but not bold,
Like an apple, ripe and mellow,
Not too Young, and not too old;
Half inviting, halfyepcllant,
Now advancing and now shy:
There Is mischief in her laughter.
There l. danger in her eye.
She ln,s studied human nature;
She Is schooled In every art;
She has taken her diploma,
As the mistress Of the heart
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh and when to smile
oh a maid is sometimes charming,
But a widow all the while!
Are you sad oh .hen how serious
VIII her pretty face become
You are angry; SHE Is wretched.
Saddened, frlcndless, fearful, dumb.
Are you mirthful? how her laua hter,
Silver sounding, will ring out
She can lure, and catch. and play you
As IN angler does trout
Ali "old fossils" nearly fifty,
Who are plotliag, deep and wise;
Ye "Adoniscs" of twenty,
With the love-light in your eyes,
You may practice all the lessons
Taught by Cupid since the fall;
But know little widow
