strictly logical discourse entertaining.

ers.
FROM THE JOURNAL AND COURIER, NEW
HAVEN, CONN.
The night was stormy, but those who
ventured to go to Brewster Hall on
Monday evening. TO hear DR.. Jewett,
the old veteran IN the temperance cause,
were amply paid. One of the first ply
sicians, a medical professor in this city,
remarked at the close, sit WAS one of the
ablPsv and most practical lectures l ever
heard on the su uhirct." We are glad 10
learn that the D. ,ctOr is to speak in this

Educated men and men uneducated,
who hear him once will go again, He
IS master of the subject. Tue needs of
This city require the efforts of just such
a man.

THE TRUE MoMAN.-Who shall lynn
for US the picture of true, good woman
the pride and paragon of her sex, and the
admiration Of the other; Of the woman,
young, beautiful, healthful, well informed,
but not pedantic; who can talk well, sing
well, play well, walk well, and dress we'll;
who IS neither a hirt nor prude; who
knows neither too much nor too little ;
whose lips are innocent Of slang; whose
heart is pure from evil thought; who is
polished in manners, and afectionate in
disposition; beloved of the old, the dar-
ling Of the young; shy, modest, retiring;
and commanding all the worlds homage,
without demanding the homage of any
body! 1t must not be considered that the
youthtulness Of such a woman is absolute
lY necessary to her loneliness. Youth is
a great blessing and a great charm; but
age is also q blessing, do we not all wish
to grow old and a great adornment if it
be combined with goodness. The beauty
Of the mind grows with the revolving
wears, and makes a woman of seventy,
with mind and manners and innate gen
tleness. more beautiful than sweet seven
teen can be. if the mind and the manners
are wanting, andthe tenderness that should
be in every womanly heart, is displaced
by a masculine tone of thought, behavior
or conversation.

And we have been ~re-created to new

is for to-dsy,s work we have been en-.

Many young men are continually
wishing for a chance 10 become brake
men. but there is no life IL the world,
NOT excepting that of a soidier, that u
so exposed to dangers and hardsnlPs'
as is that ola brakeman on a freight
train, and especially in b winter
time. Clambefing down between Ice
covered cars, with the wind blowing a
perfect gale, ard perhaps in inky dark
ness. is more hazardous than charging
an enemy on the battlefield, as the
many lives lost by the former class,
taking into consideration the number
engaged in it, viii show. But still the
matter is soon forgotten; as in war
times il used to be repeated, "only a
private gone" so now it IS, 'only a
brakeman gone" "a chance for anoth-
er man." and the parents who parted
with their son a short time since full
of hope and pride for their offspring,
have their cup Of Joy turned to sorrow
by the short telegram that "your son
was killed to day." which is soon fol.
lowed by all that is left to them of
their darling, and they are left alone
to mourn over another victim out of
the large number of those unknown
and unnoticed brave, generous men
and boys that are the life of the great
railroad enterprises of the present day.
Only g brakeman gone, readers; but
still he might have been the pet Of the
household, OF a kind husband, whose
happy wife keeps a warm supper wait
ing for him, who but a short time
since was full of life and happiness,
little thinking of the sorrow in store
for her, and when the train is past due,
and she hears a strange step upon the
walk, and q knock at the door, how
her heart sinks as some strange fore
boding of the coming evil creeps over
her, and at the sight of the kind-heart'
ed conductor who has taken upon him
self, to him, bitter task of telling her
the sad story, it is nj wonder that her
strength deserts her and she swoons
away, recovering only to find herself
alone in the world, another sufferer by
one of mans greatest blessings, the
railroad. These are not mere pictures
of our fancy, but the bitter facts, which
we ourselves have been cognizant with
during the many years which we have
been connected with the railroad
service.-BTan9on Times.

lAa~t pity that young man who with q
little recklessness of manner, with his coarse
passions all d-aguerreotyped upon his face,
goes whooplng through the street, driving
an animal much nOble- than himself, or
staggering into some haunts of show and
calls it enjoying life. He thinks he is as
tonishIug the world ; and he is astonishing
the thinking part Of 1t, who are astonished
that he Is not astonished at himself. For
look at that compound of flesh and impu,
dence, and say if on all thus earth Is any
thing of the true joy Of life? As well
say that the beauty and immensely of the
universe were all enclosed in the field

How FRANKLIN OBTAINED a SITUA-
TIoN.-When gate a youth, Franklin
went to London, entered a printing Office,
and inquired if he could get employment
as q printer.
"Where are you FROM" inquired the
foreman.
"Americs," was the reply.
"Ah!" said the foreman, "from Amer
ieRi q lad from America seeking employ
ment as a printer Well, do you really
understand the art of printing? Can you
set type?"
Franklin stepped to one of the cases,
and in a very brief space set up the fol-
lowing passage from the first chspter of
the Gospel by St John:
Nathaniel saith unto him, Can n
good thing come out of Nazareth Phil
ip saith unto him. Come and see"
It was done so quickly, so accurately,
and contained delicate reproof so appro-
pirate and powerful, that it at onee gave
him character and standing with all IN the
I Office.
