Susceptible Girls.

There is an essential difference between
a romantic and susceptible woman. A
susceptible woman is one who possesses
what are called the finer feelings of our
nature in the highest state Of irritation.
She generally has brains, which the ro-
mantle woman has not She cultivates her
special taste with the utmost assiduity.
She never allows It to rust for want of en-
ployment, or to sicken for want of care.
She preserves the vitality of her emotions
by constantly exercising them. Nor is the
susceptible lady particular in her choice Of
objects. Although she will, as girl, fix
on man in preference to cat or a parrot,
still sooner than want subject, she will
even love one of her own sex. With her,
love means a simple fetish worship of the
present idol. Although she changes them
constantly for the time they have no cause
to complain of her devotion
Susceptible girls are generous. They are
generous even beyond the generosity
which arises from their abnormal softness.
Giving with them is pure satisfaction.
They are constantly imagining the effects
of their bounty upon the recipient, and in
the enjoyment received they feel they are
more than justified in the outlay Love is
a difficult and almost inaccessible sentiment
to them. They will have favorites rather
than lovers. The growth of passion is
constantly checked and crossed by other
capriees Of susceptibility. Besides, the sus-
ceptible girl has generally rather refined
nature. She lives in fancies, and prefers
to dream and to go into reveries over fifty
splendid creatures with violet eyes, droop-
ing mustaches, and heavy dragon proper
tons, to believing in the homage Of an or
binary or an ugly parsonage, who can scar
cely be idealized sufficiently in the cruci-
bic of her Imagination. She suffers of
course from emotion waste ssHer affairs Of
the heart are duplicated. She is as miser-
able at the GOODNESS Of her darling Clanche
or Emily as she would be at the sudden
GOODNESS of man who had been sanguine
enough to think he could enter the lists a.
gainst every attractive male and female
who might come in the path Of the suscep-
tible lady.
Susceptible women, if they can be caught
and broken in by kindness. make the best
wives and mothers but unless cured be-
fore marriage they are never healthy after
ward. A married susceptible woman,
who brings to her husbands house the
friends of her youth without consulting
his views, is in bad way for him and for
herself.

A SINGULAR COMMUNITY -Four miles
from Oneida, New York, class calling
themselves Christian Perfectionists, TWEEN
ty years ago organized community 1t
numbers about $50 +; twenty-five are under
IA years of age. Property and persons are
held in common. No one Of himself owns
anything They commenced poor, now
they are ricn. The location is the most
beautiful in the land embracing 500 acres
in the chico Oneida Valley. The grounds
are finely laid out. The principal residence
is brick, three stories high. Besides the
central mansion there are FIVE large build
ings. One is used for a general dining
hall, and others for canning fruit and vari-
GUS industries. They have invented much
valuable machinery. All eat in one large
hall, at many tables. They provide Meth
er tea nor coffee, and seldom meat Veget-
ables, fruits, butter, cheese, cakes, pud-
dings and pies are abundant They have a
a fine library and take the newspapers.
Their religious faith is peculiar They
claim to be the successors Of the apostles.
to whom was promised the speedy second
advent of Christ. They say that Christ did
reappear after the destruction of Jerusalem,
when there was a judgement in the spiritu-
al world, and the final kingdom in the
Heavens began. They believe that they
are in direct communication with Christ
and the Resurrected Church in the angelic
world. These things they. say in literal,
not in aigurative sense. The marriage re-
lation in this community is wholly unknown.
Instead, there is a complete marriage.
Each man is the husband of every woman
each woman the wife of every man.
Husband and wife have no meaning. There
are no weddings. Nor are young persons
mates. A young man must mate with a
woman older and more experienced than
he; young woman with man older and
more experienced than she Love attach
ments for individuals are contrary to their
principles. Only twenty -four children have
been born in ten years. The woman wear
boomers and short hair and enjoy equal
privileges with the men.

READ AN HoUR DAY.-There was
lad who, at fourteen, was apprenticed to
soap-boiler. One Of his resolutions was to
read an hour a day, OF at least at that rate,
and he had an old silver watch, left him
by his uncle, which he timed his reading
by. He stayed seven years with his master,
and said when he was twenty-one he knew
as much as the young squire did, Now,
let US see how much time he had to read in
seven years at the rate ofan hour each day.
Il would be 2,555 hours, which, at the rate
Of eight reading hours per day, would be
equal to three hundred and nineteen DAYS
equal to forty-five weeks, equal to eleven
months; nearly a years reading. That
time spent in treasuring up useful knowl-
edge would pile up very large store. I
am sure it is worth trying for. Try what
you can. Begin now In after years you
will look back upon the task as the most
pleasant and profitable you ever perform

One Of the best stories we remember.
referring to stolen watch, comes from a
French scarce. In the pit of the old
French opera, one of the audience sudden
ly discovered that his watch was gone
The evenings entertainment had not com
menced. and the owner of the property
mounted a bench, stated the loss, which
could not have occurred above two or three
minutes and begged those around him to
remain perfectly quiet as his watch struck
the hours like a clock, and, it then being
on the stroke of seven, the watch would
speedily indicate into whose possession ii
had fallen. There was dead silence but
the eye of the proprietor detected an indi-
yldual who was trying to edge away from
the vicinity, and he Immediately denoun-
ced the skulker as the thief. The latter
was seized, and the watch was found upon
him and as the owner quietly put it into
his pocket, he remarked, 1.-The watch does
not strike the hours, but thought nv as
sertion that it did, would enable me to
strike the thief"

as he listened to the audacious proposal.
He stormed and swore furiously, and de-

and insolent upstart

unhappy passion. He subdued it; but, al
though he afterwards married woman

and who was worthy of his love, he was
never wholly dead to his first love.
The time passed on, and the young man
began to reap the reward of his labors.-
He had never been 20 the house of Mr.

his name soon became familiar in every

SQUANDERED LIVES.

The fisherman wades.in the surges
The sailor sails over the seas;
The soldier steps bravely to battle;
The woodman lays the AK to the trees
They are each of the breed of the heroes,
The manhood attempted in strife /;
Strong hands, that 60 lightly to labor,
True hearts that take comfort in life.
In each is the seal to replendish
The world with the vigor it needs--s
3 The center of honest affections,
The impulse to generous deeds.
But the shark drinks the blood of the fisher,
The sailor is dropped in the sea
The soldier is cold by his cannon;
The woodman is crushed by his tree.
Each prodigal life that is wasted
In many achievements unseen,
But lengthen the day of the coward,
And strengthens the crafty and mean.
The blood ofthe noble is lavished
That the selfish profit may find
God sees the lives that are squandered,
And we to His wisdom are blind.
