THE MANAGING WOMAN.

To be good housekceper is one of the
most essential and useful accomplishments,
and the man who secures for his wife one
whose education in this respect has not
been neglected, combined with mild con
fding and loving disposition, has a most
valuable treasure; and if his home is not
agreeable and pleasant, he may be assured
that the fault is with himself, and that he
does not possess the manly and gentle
manly attributes necessary for sueh part
ner for life. We commend the following
Just and truthful remarks to the attention
oi our readers: r...f .--.r.
The managing woman is pearl among
women. She is one of the prizes in the
great lottery of life, and .the man who
draws her may rejoice for the rest of his
days Better than riches, she is fortune
within herself-a gold mine never failing
in its yield-a spring of pleasant waters,
whose banks are finged with moss aud
flowers, when all around is b!rached white
with sterile sand The managing woman
can do anything; and She does everything
well. Perceptive and executive, Of quick
sight and steady band, she always knows
exactly what is wanting, and supplies the
deficiency with tact and cleveruess pc
culiar to herself. She knows the capabili-
ties of persons as well as things, for She
has an intuitive knowledge of character -
The managing woman, if not always pa
tient, is always energetic, and can never
be disappointed into inacrion, Though
she has to teach the same thing over and
over again, though she finds heads as dense
a. box wood, and hands as inefficient. as
fishes fins, still she is never weary OF her
vocation of arranging and ordering, and
never less than hopeful Of a favorable re-
suit"

The Absurdity of Drinking.

r 1t has become sort of fpopular-almost
uatioual-tai;h that it Is not possible to be
truly happy unless you drink. Among GER
tain classcs-aDd they are by no means ex7
clnsivcIy the lowest drink is the beginning
and end of everything. The very name of
liquor is held to be synonymous with en-
jnyment, and the dearer the liquor the more
it is piiz,d aud coveted. Yet every man
at Is nota downright drunkard is well aware
that the pleasures Of drinking are beyond
a certain point, mockery, delusion, and
a snare. put it to any one who has stood
half the night at bar or sat halfthe night
in a club room, drinking, smoking, and
bandying reckless tax, if the enjoyment of
such an evening has been anything like that
of few quiet hours spent at home with a
book or newspaper The evil influence
of tavern pleasure on the health is too OBJ
vious to be denied by any one, and the
iIlusory nature of the pleasures themselves
would be undeniable also if the persons
who indulge in them did not deceive them
selves ard put the truth out ofsight.
No one ever brought any good out of
drinkiog bout yet 1t is short, feverish
spssm of animal enjoyment, which leaves
nothing behind but moroseness, regret, bad
temper. self reproach, and headache, l
should like to ask you, sir if you say your
pray ers when YOU come home in that state?
No-you don't. You are ashamed to say
thrm. lcu postpone them until you have
purged Yourself your mind, and your lips
he mora sober and rational behavior NEXT
night, when yon pass the hours quietly at
home with book OF friend. you feel that
you have had real enjoyment, and that the
time has passed pleasantly, that you have
learned something, and that vou have not
injnred your health. You are not asham
eJ to say your prayers, and You get up next
morning with a clear head, a good appetite,
and an increased faculty for work aud en-
joyment of life. -AU tie Year Round.

How to Judge Character by the Hair.

Coarse black hair and dark skin signify
great power of character, with a tenaency
to senspality. Fine hair and dark skin in.
dicate strength of character along with
purity and goodness. Stiff, black hair and
beard indicate a coarse, strong, rigid,
straightforward character. Fine dark
brown hair signifies the combination of
exquisite sensibtlities with great strength
Of character Harsh, upright hair is the
sigL OF rcticent and sour spirit. stub
born and harsh character. Coarse red hair
and whlskers Indicate powerful animal pas
sions together withia corresponding strength
of character. Auburn hair with ford
countenance denotes the highest order of
sentiment and intensity of feeling, purity
Of character. With the highest capacity for
enjoyment or suffering. Straight, even
smooth glossy hair denotes strength, har-
mony, and eyenness of character, hearty
affections, clear head and superior talents
Fine, silk, supple hair Is the mark Of
delicate aud sensitive Temperament, and
speaks in favor Of the mind and character
of the owner. Crisp curly har indicates
hasty, somewhat impetuous, and rash char
acter. White hair denotes a lymphatic
aud indolent constitution: and we may add
that besides all these qualities there are
chemical properties residing in the coloring
matter Of the hair tube which undoubtedly
have some effect upon the disposition
Thus, red hair people are notoriously pas
siouate. Now red hair is proved by an
alysis to contain a large amount of sulpher
whilst every black hair is COLOR d with
almost pure carbon. The presence Of these
matters in the blood points TO peculiarities
OF temperament and feeling which are
almost universally associated with them
The very way 10 which the hair flows is
strongly indicative of the ruling passions
and inclinations, and perhaps clever
person could give a shrewd guess at the
manner of a man or womah's disposition
by only seeing the backs of their heads.

THE BLIND GIRL.

Together through the fOusryshelds,
Que pleasant summers day,
With cautious steps two children trod
The smooth Yet uresome way
The elder was a lovely boy,
Of meek aud heavenly mind,
The little girl was lovely too,
But she, alas is bhud.
He'd tell her how the sun by day,
And little stars by night,
Peeped through soft clouds, to gid the earth
With beams Of brilliant light.
And then he'd Gull wild flowers, and weave
A chaplet for her hair.
And strive TO make her understand
How beautiful they we're.
Soon as her feeble limbs were tired,
He led her from the glade
And strewed with moss, an easy seat
Beneath the green trees shade.
Then side by side they sat them down,
And happy seemed to be
And listened to the song birds strain
0fjOyous melody.
"Tell me, dear brother tell me if
Yon happy bird that sings.
Is beautiful ;-say, is he plumsd
With gold or azure wings :"
"Yes, dearest, he seems beautiful,
And plumed with hues, most rare;
And proudly perch'd upon yon bough,
He's swinging in the air."
But, as be spoke, her bosom heav'd:
He marked the deep drawn sigh
And saw the tear drop on the cheek,
Fall from the sightless eye.
The truth with all its glaring force,
Had crossed her troubled mind,
And words came trembling from her lips,
"Shall be always blind !
know can feel and hear,
As you and mother say,
And many things enjoy, but shall
/ ne'r behold the day
You tell me o: the little birds. ~
And green leaves on the tree
And skies serene and beautiful,
But shall ! never see r.
She clasped her arms around his neck,
And kiss'd him o'er and DER,
And said, could but see thy face,
/ would not sorrow more"
He tried to sooih With loving words,
And bade her never mind.
That he and mother loved as we'll
As il she were Lot blind.
He told her of brighter world,
Up in the soft blue arr;
And mother said, if they were good,
They'd see each other their.
Soon after this, the little girl
Grew sick, and pale and weak;
Her brother still kept by her side,
Still kissed her tender cheek.
He'd kneel beside her little bed,
And earnest pray to heaven,
That if SO pure a soul had sins.
That they might be forgiven.
She whispered these last loving words,
''Oh do not weep for me-
I'm hing to that brighter world,
soon, ] soon shall sce
