Ga the steamer which recently passed
up to Montana, was young girl of
scarce eighteen, who goes to the distant
land of gold to meet her. aflianced.-
Four years ago she met and loved a
young student in German University.
Their trysting place might not have
been at Bipgen on the Rhine" but it
was a. Just such a romantic spot not
many leagues distant Her attach ment
was reciprccatcd, and :roth was plighted.
Three years since the bridegroom came
to America, and sought his fortune
among the placers of Montana, shortly
securing lucrative position as superin-
tendent of a successful mining company.
A few weeks ago brief message dartod
across two continents, aud three thous-
aud miles of ocean in day, and found
this beautiful unsophisticated girl, sur4
rounded by all the endearments of a
home of wealth and refinement. 1t
told her that near the far off shores of
the Pacific some one waited her coming.
A few days later she was rocking upon
the bosom of the broad Atlantic, and
later still she disembarked in strange
land, the language and customs of whose
people were new to her. She is now
slowly and happily ascending the Mis-
souri,, confident that her bridegroom is
expecting her, having travelled alone
from the banks of the Baltic to meet
him, Suppose he should have died

Female Taste In Dress.

Taste in dress can scarcely lead is
posscssor cstroy, and is indeed, n
moral guide. II is full of reminders
aud admonitions; nor can II woman
dress herself in perfect taste without
distinct knowledge of her personal
defects. A hundred fashions are
pretty and charming in themselves /;
but she knows they are not for her,
and rcsists them. They are forbid
den by something in figure, complcc-
tion, station, age or character, which,
though not hattering TO her vanity,
she does not permit herself to forget.
Passion for dress is profuse and cx-
travagant; taste in dress is full Of
wise, philosophical economies, know
ing that the merit OF decoration is
not in its elaborate richness or ex-
pcnsc, but in its adaptation. Taste
in dress is essentially moderate and
sclfcollected never forgetting that
the object of dress is not to exhibit
itself but its wearer; that all that
the most splendid toilet has to do is
to set of a noble, graceful, and win
ming presence, and itself to be lost in
pleasing or effective, or, it may be,
dazzling general impression. Pas
sion for dress is always intent on
what others will think-or taking
some new eye by storm; taste has
self-respect, and before all thing
must satisfy its own notions of pro
priety and grace.

Gems OF Thought.

A prodigal course is like the suns;
but not like his recoverable. = y
Civil dissension is a viperous worm,
that gnaws the bowels of the com
monwealth. Mems lives should
be like the day, more beautiful in the
evening; or, like the summer, aglow
with promise, and the autumn, rich
with the golden sheayes, where good
works and deeds have ripened on the
field. = = The woman that has
not touched the heart Of a man be-
fore he leads her to the altar, has
scarcely time TO charm it when
possession and security turn their
powerful arms against her. y y A
more glorious victory can not be
gained ouer another man than this.
That when the injury began on hi.
part, the kindness should begin on
ours. II both the ways were equally
in our power, yet it is much NOR,
desirable conquest TO overcome evi
with good, than with evil. BY thii
we can only conquer our enemy, anC
may perhaps fail in that; but by th'
other we certainly conquer ourselves
and perhaps our enemy too; over
coming him in the noblest manner
and leading him gently till he b
cool, and without force effectuall,
subduing him to be our friend.
One is much less sensible Of cold ol
bright day than on a cloudy ono
thus the sunshine Of cheerfulness an
hope will tighten every trouble.
The man lives most perfectly who's
constant happiness is found in th
consciousness that in doing the be'
that he can for himself, he is ais
doing the best he can for every bein
that is capable of having good don
to It. The misery of huma
life is made up of large masses, eac
separated from the other by certai
intervaIs-one year, the death Of
child; year after, a failure in trade
after another longer or shorter int
val, daughter may have marri'
unhappily. In all but the singular

But In this asc no execution could
have been properly issued, even upon
notice by scire facids, against the
real estate of the dccedcnt in the
possession of his heirs nj law. No
Judgment was obtained against the
ancestor in his lifetime, aud consc-
qucntly lien existed.
The judgment against he admin
istrdtor of the dccedent, could only
be operative as a lien upon the prop
erty in the hands Of the Administrator,
to be administered.
The real estate of the ancestor does
not vest in the administrator, nor is
il primarily liable at all, to the pay
ment of debts. The administrator
as such has no interest in, or power
over the real estate of the dcccdent.
But it vests Immediately on the death

Evils Of Gossip.

| have known q country society to
xi,bcr away all to nothing under the
lry rot of gossip only. Friendships
oncc as 6rm as granite dissolved to
ielly, and then run away to water,
only because of this; love, that prom
ised future as enduring as heaven
Ind as stable as truth, cvaporatcd
into morning mist, turned to a
day's long tears only because of this;
/ father and son were set foot to foot
with the fiery breath of anger that
would never cool again between them,
pnlv because of this, and husband
Ind his young wife, each straining at
the fated lash, which in the begin
ming had been the golden bondage of
a God-blesscd love, sat mourniully
by the side of the grave where all
their love and joy lay buried, and
only because Of this. ] have seen
faith transformed to mean d0uht,
hope to give place to grim despair,
and charity take on itself the features
Of black malevolence, all because OF
the spell words of scandal, and the
magic mutterings Of gossip.
Great crimes work great wrongs,
nnd the deeper tragedies OF human
life spring from its larger passions
but woful and most melancholy are
the uncatalogued tragedies that issue
from gossip and detraction; most
mournful the shipwreck often made
of noble natures and lovely lives, by
the bitter winds of SANDER. So easy
10 say, yet so hard to disprove--
throwing on the innocent, and pun
ehing them as guilty il unable e
luck out the stings they never see
md to silence words they never hear

brother's hurt.-AH the Year Round

A correspondent of the New Or
leans Crescent has visited Mr.. Davis.
Among other things the correspon-
dent says:
Mr.. Davis seemed always glad to
converse about his friends and advis-
ers during the late war, and his re-
marks were tinged with deep and bit
ter feeling. He referred in glowing
terms to Wade Hampton, aud dwelt
with sympathy on the recollection Of
his favorite son. He described the
scene on the battlefield where the
father saw his two sons struck down
but, stopping only for a moments re-
gret, rode on into the thickest of the
fight. OF General Preston, of Ken
lucky, he also spoke in the kindest
manner. II was astonishing TO find
how many persons with whom he
had only slight acquaintance were
distinctly remembered. All the Mis-
sissippians seemed TO have a promin-
ent place in his memory, and nearly
every Confederate official Of any dis
tinction was recalled by name or re.
putation.

The Source OF Waterfalls.

We are not surprised, says an ex-
change, that an industrious antiquary
has found out that the WATERFALL
was formerly a masculine appendage.
IL was so long ago-eight centuries
that a thing easy TO affirm will
will be found difficult to deny. II is
always hard TO prove negative; and
if il be asserted that-cight hundred
years ago-some men affected "water-
falls" Il will be scarcely as easy to
disprove as to affirm il.
The case was this: II was in
Francc-did ever a fashion originate
any where else9-in the eleventh
century, that Ia risdge en- cascade first
saw the light. Thanks to French
masculine invention, Il was an elabo-
rate affair, TO which there were three
parties--hair, moustache and beard.
The waterfall had three stories, and
thereby hangs a tale, or rather hung
three tails. First, there was the
upper fall, formed by cutting the hair
evenly all round the head. This was
most available fall, visible alike
from all points Of view. The second
fall was formed by the moustachio'
which were worn very heavy and
fashioned in a dropping, not to say
dripping manner. Beneath thes'
low deeps, came the lower depth
formed by the beard, long, pointed
wavy, flowing.
We said that thereby hangs a tale
When Count of Chalons, conquere,
