WoMAN,S SCEPTRE,.

i There is something extremely pleas
ant, and even touching,-at least to
every sweet, soft and winning effect
in this popularity of ofneedle-work, dis
tinguishing women from men. Men
are incapable of any such by-play
aside from the main business of life
but women, be of what earthly rank
they may, however gifted with intel
lect or genius, or endowed with much
beauty--have always some little hand
icraft ready to fill the tiny gap of every
vacant moment. A needle'is familiar
to the fingers of them all. A queen,
doubtless, plies it on occasions the
woman poet can use it adroitly as her
pen thetWoman's eye, that has dis
covered "a new star, turns from its
glory to send the polished little instru-
1hent cleaning along the hem of her
kerchief, or to darn a casual fray in
her dress. And they have greatly the
advantage ofmen in this respect. The
slender thread of silk or cotton keeps
them united with the small, familiar,
gentle interests of life, the continually
operating influences of which do so
much for the health of the character,
and carry off what would otherwise be
dangerous accumulation of morbid
sensibility. A vast deal of human
sympathy runs along this electric line.

MEN WANTED.

The following truthful paragraph
contains a vast amount that should be
remembered by everybody: The
great want of this age is men. Men
who are not for sale Men who are
honest, sound from center to circum-
ference, true TO the hearts core. Men
who will condemn wrong in friend
OF foe, in themselves as well as others.
Men=whose leensciences are as steady
as the needle to the pole. Men who
will stand for the right if the heavens
totter and the earth reels. Men who
can tell the truth and lock the werid
and the devil right in the eye. Men
that neither brag nor run. Men that
neither flag nor finch. Men who can
have courage without whistling for it,
and joy without shouting to bring it.
Men in whom the current of everlast-
ing life runs still anddeep and strong.
Men too large for sectarian hands,
Men who do not strive, nor cry, nor
cause their. voices to be, heard i'll the
streets, but will not fail norsbe dis
couraged until Judgment be set in the
earth. Men who know their message
and tell it. Men who know their
place and fill it. Men who mind their
own business. Men who will not lie.
Men who are not too lazy to work /;
nor toe, proud to be poor. Men who
are willing to eat what they
have earned, and wear what they have
paid fer..,..r. bn.. L.r..- ..-a.E -.

origin of words and Phrases.

WinafdU.-The origin of this term
is said to be the following: Some of
the nobility OF, England, by the tenure
of. their estates, were forbidden selling
any of the trees upon them, the tim
Der being reserved for the use of the
royal navy. Such trees as fell with
ont cutting were the property of the
occupants. A tornado, therefore, was
perfect God-send in every sense of
the term, to those who had occupancy
of the extensive forest, and the ariad-
faH was sometimes of very great val
ne. :.
.-Robbtng Peter to pay Paul.-In the
time of Edward VI, much of the lands
of ST. Peter, at Westminster, were
seized by his Majesty's ministers and
coHrtiers, but in order to reconcile the
peopleto that robbery. they always
allowed a portion of the lands to be
appropriated toward the repairs of St.
Paups church. Hence the phrase,
'Robbing Peter tie pay Paul.
He's canght a Tdrtdr.-In some bat
tie between the Tartars and Russians,
who are wild sort of people in the
north of Asia. a private soldier called
out Captain, halloo there, I've
caught a Tartar Fetch him along:
then,' said the Captain. 'Ay, but he
won't let me, said the man. The fact
was, that the Tartar had caught him.
So when a man thinks to get another
in, and gets bit himself, they say, Hes
caught a Tartart
BdnkrUpt.-Few words have so re-
markable history as the familiar
word bankrupt. The money changers
of Italy had, it is said, benches OF
stalls in their courts of exchange, in
former times, and at these they con-
Quoted their ordinary business, When
any of them fell back in the world
and became insolyent, his bench was
broken, and the name broken bench
pencorratto, was given to him. When
the word was adopted into English, il
was nearer the Italian than it now is
being bankrout instead of bankrupt
HE, Bette -Hd1'tin.-Many of OH
most popular vulgarisms have theiI
origin in some whimsical perversion
of language OF fact, st. Martin is one
of the worthiest of the Roman Calen-
dar, and form of prayer commences
with the words, 90 1nihi beatty Mar
tin, and still further to 'Hiei Betty
Martini
Roland for an Olirer.-Although
no phrase is in more common use, yei
few are acquainted with its origin
The expression signifies the giving Of
an equivalent. Roland and Oliver
were two knights famous in romance
The wonderful achievements of the
one can only be equaled by those Of
the other. Hence the phrase, Roland
for Oliver
Mind your P's and Q's.-The orgiI
of this phrase is said to have been g
call of attention; in the old Englisl
| ale-hOuses, pints and quarts being
scored down to the unconscious OF
reckless beer-bidder.

rrI,o condit1nn Haiti


The condition of this most beautiful
island, daily growing worse, is attract
ing the attention of the world. The
New York Mercantile Journal, non
political paper, says that, of all unhap-
py scenes of purgatorial torment OH
this earth, we take the Republic
Kingdom, Empire, which is it ?-of
Hayti to be the most completely wretch
ed. For months past, and we may
say, with slight intermissions, for long
years, there has been but one long,
dreary, bloody succession of revolts,
butcherings and pillagings, as though
the furies themselves had taken pos
session of a people doomed by the
gods to utter desolation.
To attempt to find any coherent reaE
son, any connected purpose in all
these disturbances, is utterly futile.
As well might we try to analize the
raids and forays of the, wild animals
of the forest. Lust for power and pelf
transforms the man, especially of trop-
ic blood, into q ferocious beast utterly
inaccessible to reason, and to be check
ed only by relentless force 10 this
condition of existince the ''Lizards, +"
or adherents of the Dictator Salnave,
and the Cacos," his opponents, seem
to have declined. The. former are the
black men who stood by Solouque and
to whom Salnave is now an equal
demigod. The latter are the mulat-
toes of the old Geffrard party, a much
more intelligent and reasonable race.
But the atrocities that have madethe
civil war now waging abhorrent to
humanity, have alienated all outside
sympathy from both parties. IN the
eyes oftotheri nations they aresimply
seen to be rending their country. to
pieces, and destroying the last vestiges
of her once superb prosperity.
What fate has been that of Hayti |!
Once by far the most productive and
beautiful of all the West India Islands,
and now compelled to import neces-
saries of life, which then it yielded for
the use of other countries, in unlimited
abundance. In many districts even
the magnificent coffee plantations that
were formerly the pride and wealth
of heavy population living in Orien-
tai affiuence, have been neglected and
allowed to relapse into wild growth
from which the equally declining in
habitants draw what nature, for yet
little while longer, spontaneeaslys
gives.
Civilized nations should not permit
SO fine a region to be lost to industry
and commerce. They all are injured, !,
not merely by the direct withdrawal
of so much material from the common.
stock, but also by the evil example of
such unrestrained confusion. There
is an international police which should
be extended to cases where any race
or fragment of a race presumes to set
up disorderly house i'll the midst of
the neighborhood of nations.

AN AFFECTIoNATE WIsH.-The son
of fond father, when going to war,
promised to bring home the head of
the enemy. His parent replied-'I
