TYEs AND No.'-~A young lady has pub.
lished poem entitled, 'Have courage to say
No 1t is not, it may be said, addressed to
her own sex, who need no such advice. But
NO is more formidable word, and though
there are proper times when it should be
used, as in cases that the lady enumerates in
her poem-wheneve tempted by the syren
to enter billiard rooms, to take wine, or to
visit gambling bells. But the No. when
injudciously uttered, is very often the seed
of trouble. The No is too often spoken by
parents from their own inappreciation of a
thing that their children desire and the
children refuse, without very nice discrim-
ination in the premises, and feeling there is
no harm 10 what they ask, impute the refus-
al 10 tyranny, aud as resistance to tyrants is
obedience to God, they covet more strongly
the boon denied, and if possible, secure it in
defiance of mandate. The word 'No' never
should be uttered hastily, and never without
reason for it, which reason, if sound, will
be admitted But sulleu, absolute, unreas-
enable No. produces ills that the parent
more than the child is answerable for. We
have known house made miserable for q
month by parental refusal of some indus
gence that had no harm in it beyond the
fancy of the parent, and bent brows and
sulky looks hardly compensated the affection
that mistakingly prompted the denial De-
pend upon it, there is often more danger In
saying No than yes

A DESERTED WOMAN ArrEMp,

ADEsERTED WOMAN ATTEMPTS SUIo1pE.
On Wednesday last, a woman attempted
to commit suicide at lodging house on Clay
street, near the Plaza, by swallowing four
ounces of laudanum. The fact that she had
swallowed the lethal drug soon became
known, and physician being timely suns
moned, she was saved from death. In reply
to question why she had made the attempt
upon her life, she stated that she had been
deserted by the man she considered her hus-
band, and, therefore, had no longer a wish
to live. We will give her story as given to
us by one who had it from her own lips.
Twelve years ago she met man engaged in
business in this city, who paid court to her,
and after years acquaintance, they conn
menced living together as man and wife
without having been legally married, although
her friends supposed that the marriage cere-
mony had been performed, because the man
always introduced her into society as his wife
aud she bore his name. For ten years thew
lived together, and during all that time not
single cloud cast shadow upon their
domestic life -Four children were born to
them and they grew up respected and admir-
ed by all The mother dotted upon her
children, and the father appeared to be very
fond of them until year ago, when he abaud.
oned them and the woman who had so lone
been regarded as bis wife. She freauentlv
went to his place of business and eutreated
him to return to her, but always met with
scornful rebuffs After be had been separat
ed from her for three or four months he was
taken sick and became very low. He sent
for his cast>of mistress, and she went and
nursed him through long and tedious i'll
ness. Many and many a night she sat by
his bedside, bathing his burning brow and
rendering him those delicate attentions which
only loving heart can render. At length
the bloom of health returned to his cheek
and strength was again given to his limbs,
but be had no. sooner become able to take
care of himself than he drove the devoted
creature from his presence with opprobriouc
epithets and curses He, however, endeavored
to compromise with his conscience by allow
ing her ten dollars per week to defray the
expenses Of herself and four children. All
her efforts to induce him to return to hel
we're unavailing, and laboring under the
impression that if she were dead he would
take care of his children, she proceeded to
his room on Wednesday, and there swallowed
the poison as above stated. The case has
many parallels in this city, and is only an
other instance of mans fckleness.-S. f.

TIE RESULT OF APPLIcATIoN.-Seek to
acquire the power of continuous application,
without which you cannot expect success.
II you do this. you will soon be able to per-
ceive the distance which it creates between
you and those who have not such habits.
You will not count yourself, nor will they
count you, as one Of them. Thus you will
find yourself emerging into the higher regions
of Intellectual aud earnest men-men who
are capable of making place for themselves,
instead Of standing idly gaping, desiring q
place without the power to command it.
Keep on striving to accomplish more and
more every day, and thus enlarge constantly
the range Of your Intellectual ability. If you
learn to do as much work in one day as you
used to do'in two or three days, you are as
good as two or three such men as you for.
merly were, boiled down to one.
