Colonel II. A. Smalley, of New. York,
q son ofJndge Smalley, Of Vermont, a
leading Democrat of that State, has
written d letter to General Stannard, in
which he says that he had intended to
.support the Democratic nominees. He
now says he is satified that .'the inter
ests sffheeountry require the election
Of General Grant, and in accordance
with this opinion shall support hilu. !"
Col. Smslley proceeds to say:
"In addition to my opinion of the
superior fitness and qualifications of
Gen. Grant for the Presidency in the
present crisis, / am constrained to the
course I have adopted by my belief that
Grant win have greater power to heal
the wounds inflicted during our late
Struggle than his opponent, if elected,
and that, with as kind and generous
feelings toward the South as Governor
Seymour, can entertain, from the great

Shur, Anectation.

There is nothing more beautiful in the
young than simplicity of character. 1t
is honest, frank, and attractive. How
different is affectation? The simple
Minded are always natural. They are at
the same time origal. The affected are
never natural. AS for originality, il
they ever had it, they have crushed it
out, and buriedft from sight, utterly
Be yourself, then, young friend! To at
tempt to be anybody else is worse than
folly. 1t is an impossibility to attain it.
1t is contemplate to try! But suppose
you could succeed in initiating the great
est man that ever figured in history
would that make you any better? By
no means. You would always suffer in
comps rison with the initiated one, and
be thought of only as shadow of sub
stance-the echo of a real sonud--the
counterfeit of a pure coin! DR.. Johnson
aptly compared the heartless imitator-
for such is he who affects the character
of another-to the Empress OF Russia,
when she did the freakish thing of
erecting palaceuf ice. 1t was splendid
and conspicuous while it lasted. But
the sun sOon .nlri; ed it, and caused its
attractions to dissolve into common wat
ter, while the humber stone cottages of
her subjects stood firm and unmarredi-
Let the fabric of your character, though
ever so humble, be at least real. Avoid
affecting the character of another, how
ever great. Build up your own. Be what
God intended you to be-yourself, and
not somebody else. Shun affectation.

A New York correspondent Of the
Sacramento Union has given full des-
cription of the female complaint known
as the "Grecian Bend, which We re-
produce for the benefit of any poor crea-
ture hereabout who may be afflicted
with this spreading malady:
when first your correspondent heard
of the Grecian Bend, in the inocency of
his heart and the antiquity of his ideas,
he thought it referred to archery prac-
tice, including the drawing of the long
bow by the newspaper correspondents at
these watering places. Then it occurred
to him that it might mean that graceful
action by which a man in tight fitting
habiliments gets at his pocket book-a
gentle stoop to prepare the pocket for the
insertion of the digitals. As this is the
most frequent action at our watering
places, it seemed proper that it should
possess studied grace. But this is not
the Grecian Bend. Not to keep your
readers longer in suspense, here is what
the newest accomplishment of our belle
and beauties really is. You must know
in the first place that the very extreme
of the present Paris toilette prevails at
Saratoga, Newport and the other FASH
ionable summer resorts this season. The
most striking features are the chignon,
worn on the top of the head, from which
two long switches of loose hair depend,
hanging fron. each side of the center
down the back.
The "pannier" is worn at the top of
the hoop, and around upon it are gather
ed five or six " rds Of material, forming
what is called "blanchisseuse," or wash
woman's style. A band encircles the
wearer's hips, just below this monstrous
hump, and the dres below falls straight
to the feet. To releave this straightness
and give effect TO the hump aforesaid,
the bellies assumed what is called the
Grecian Bend. This is performed says
fashion critic, by pulling the lower
hips up to point even with the lower
ribs, drawing the stomach in and throw
ing the sholders forward, with the hanns
dropping from the appraised elbows, like
the paws OF dancing bear, or, to use a
polite simile, like the shaking quakers
in a dance When the whole affair is
carried out in a dance, says a cores
pondent, by gay and luxurant youth,
with his hair parted in the middle, plac-
ing his right arm under the left of the
ladys, with fingers extended asin aspasm
between the shoulder blades, while with
the thumb and second finger of the
other hand he holds her wrist, leaving
the hand to hang lifelessly pendent, we
have an exhibition of snobbishness and
cockneyism which must put all sensible
Americans to the blush, ~

Chpife Misfellany.
AMY wife saved 1t for Me.v

One hot summer afternoon, when the
air scorched the lungs as it was breathed
in, and no business was stirring to keep
the brain from going to sleep, lay and
dozed quietly and shadily in my room,
which overlooked the street. Presently
there came voices. Two men appeared
! confnb Oh my door step. The window
was wide OPEN, but the shutters were
closed, their voices came up to me in
great clearness, so that / had no choice
but TO hear.
The tenor of their conversation was
curious. One, il seemed, had found life
CHEEKY and pleasant, and Fortunes
wheel had revoled with a touch of his
/ finger, turning all to gold. The other
was at the bottom of the hill, and grey
headed, as afterwards discovered. Both
were men past middle-age. Both were,
to all appearance, hearty and lived long
/ ed stock. Each had gone his way through
life, and chance meeting had led them
both to sit down on my doorstep and
cool off in the shade, and they fell into
an earnest talk. Evidently school mates
once, of late years they had seen little of
each other. 1t was a favorable opportu-
nifty. this of my doorstep, to compare
notes.
Tell me, John" said the more poorly
clad of the two, how you have come to
get along so well and make money till
you have got rich :" Johns voice fell
into tender tone, as ne answered, I'll
tell you; il Was my wife who did it"'-
Your wife, John-how" why, SIM
ply in this way,", replied John. "One
day when i had been in business four or
five years. ! wanted money badly, and
didn't know where to raise a hundred
dollars that needed to pay a note fall
ing due next day. told my wife that
night.
She made no reply, but rose and went
to the closet, handy, and came back held
out stocking well filled. Handing it
to me, .sThere, John, are one hundred
and twenty dollars, which / have saved
up in sixpenses and shillings; take them
and do what you please with them. y
hadn't awQrd to say, but that taught
me lesson. / resolved to be careful OF
the small out,oes after that, Peter, and
Twas; and now, after ten years, l am
worth enough to keep me and mine
above water.
1 found that the way to make money
was to be careful of the small things-a
sixpence here and a shilling there. And,
tabove all, that an economical and loving
vile may make man instead of break
ing him. My wife put a new notion into
my head, and have never forgotten it.
She has made me what never should
have made of myself.
L heard Peter heave sigh, as he ac-
;knowledged that hiswife did not consult
his interest, but always spent up to her
income And then 1 could not help
thinking that if women would only re-
lalize the power they have of making a
mans home happy, by adapting them
selves to circumstances, how many more
genial, steady husbands and fathers
there would be, and how much more
good it would do every man to say. as
John said: My wife saved it for me-
She has made me what am-comforta-
BILE, happy and contented." =

City and Country Life.

from the Atl2ntlc Almanac Tor lo6S.
!, The country youth who thinks oftying
his fortune in the city would do well to
study the vital statistics of boards OF
health and life insurance companies.
He would there learn that rural Occu-
pations stand highest in the list of long
evity that the probabilities of vigor-
Gus health, long life and a cheerful age
are decidedly in favor of the farmer-
Now, though the success of a life is not
always in the ratio of its duration, but
he lives to the best purpose, yet no man
is warranted in throwing away his
chances of long life upon visionary at
tempts to make up for brevity by more
brilliant career Nor does any such
motives commonly inspire the youthful
emigrant from country to city; he is
more likely to be quite needless of the
question of health under the allurements
of pleasure or gain. But one should
consider whether a gain which is acquir-
ed by an expenditure of vital force that
greatly reduces the time or ability for
enjoying it is really worth what it costs;
whether a fortune won by the sacrifice
of health is so good thing as a modest
competence with health wherewith to
enjoy it, whether, seeing that one can
20 over the course ofiife but once, it may
not be better to amble along pleasantly,
taking the comfort of the way, than to
rush for the goal, there to pant and die.
City life is life at high pressure. The
young clerk, manufacturer, merchant,
Lawyer, editor, in the arduous struggle
to establish himself, or, if established.
to keepo down competition, works as
hard as the farmer, and, taking the year
through, works more hours upon an
average for the day. And while the
farmers work is in its nature and sur
roundings healthful and invigorating,
that of the citizen is toilsome and ener-
waiting, often performed in a vitiated,
atmosphere, and with little relaxation.
The pressure of necessity or of competi-
ton makes a constant draft upon the
vital forces of the system, which shows
itselfin the alarming frequency of brain
disease among business men.
