The JEALOUSY Of Girls.

Girls, too, are awfully jealous of each
other. | should call this the girls dstinc-
tive fault. See them when they are intro
duced, or when they first meet al ball or
croquet party see bow coIdly critical they
look at each other, how insolenily their eyes
rove over every portion Of their rivals dress
read in their faces the outspoken seorn as the
result of their scrutiny.
"You think you have done it very well,
but you have made fright Of ourself. and
| am much better than you!" Watch their
disdain of the more admired among them:
and how excessively naughty for attracting
so much attention they think that Ada or
Amy are, about whom the young men clus-
ter. How bold she is i-how overdressed
she is!-how affected she island, oh hoxr
ugly she is
Sometimes, if they are deep, they will
overpraise her enthusiastically; but the ruse
is generally too transparent to deceive any
one, and simply counts for what it is-a
clever feint that doesn't answer. 1t is quite
a study 10 watch the way in which girls
shake hands together, or take hands in the
dances. The limp, cool, impertinent way
in which they just touch palms, then let
their arms fall as il paralyzed, tells q volume
to those able to read the lettering.-Eserx

A Good Yarn.

In the VILLAGE of-liyed man who
had once been Judge ofIhe county, and well
know ali over it by the name Of Judge R.
He kept store and saw mill and was always
sure to have the best of the bargain on his
side, by which he had gained ample fortune;
and some did not hesitate to call him tho
biggest rascal in the world. He was very
concelted withal, and used to brag of his
business capacity whenever any one was
near TO listen. One rainy day quite a num-
Der were seated round the stove, he began
as usual to tell of his great bargains, and at
last wound up with the expression
"Nobody has cheated me, nor they can't
neither"
Judge" said an old man of the company.
"Ive cheated you more than you ever did
me'
"How o!'' said the Judge.
"If you'll promise you won't 60 to law
about it, nor do anything, I'll tell you. or
else | won't; you are too much of a law
character for me-"
Lets hear" cried half dozen voices at
once.
"I'll promise" said the Judge, "and treat
in the bargain you have"
"Well, do you remember the wagon you
robbed me of?'
81 never robbed you of wagon; | only
got the best of the bargain said the Judge.
"Well, made up my mind to sv it
back, and"
"You never did," interrupted the cuse
Judge
"Yes did, and interest too"
! sHow so !'' Numbered the now enraged
Judge.
"WelI, you see, judge 7 sold you one day
a very nice pine log, and bargained with you
| for lot more Well that log stole of
your pile down at the MILL the night before
and the next day sold it to you. The next
night drew it back home, and sold it to
you the next day, and so kept on until you
had bought your own log of me twenty-sev-
en- times"
That's lieI" exclaimed the infuriatsd
Judge, running to his book and examining
the log account: "you never sold me twenty =
seven logs of the same mea surement"
81 know it." said the vender in logs, "by
drawing it back and forth the end wore OF
and as it wore | kept cutting the end of
until it was only ten feet long-just four
teen feet shorter than it was the first time
brought it-and when il got so short drew
it home and worked it up into shingles, and
the next week you bought the shingles, ana
l concluded had got the worth Of my wag~
on back, and slowed away in my pocket
book"
The exclamation of the Judge was drown
ed by the shout of the by-standers, and the
log drawer found the door without the
promised treat.

A Washington correspondent, who has
been overhauling the records of the State
Department, finds that the number OF treaties
and conventions concluded by the different
Administrations of the Government is 305,
namely: Prior 10 Washington's administra-
ton, l2; during Washington's Administra-
tion, 4; John Adams Administration, 3; Jef-
ferson's 6; Madison's 6; Monroe's Z; j. @.

lor's, 3; FIllmore's, 9; Pierce's, 10; Buchan-
ans, lS; Lincoln's, 26; Johnson's, %. 1t
will thus be seen that Secretary Seward has
negotiated forty-nine, or nearly one-fourlh of
all the treaties and conventions that our
Government has entered into.

A joyial artist was painting some divine.
who felt it incumbent on him TO give the
painter moral lesson during one of his sit
tings Somewhat in awe of the artist, he
began more nervouly; but as the
knight of the brush painted away without
any sign of annoyance, he gathered courage
as he proceeded, and finally administered
pretty good sermon. He pausel for reply,
and confessed afterwards that he never felt
so Insignificant in his life as when the artist,
with the urbane but positive authorh of his
profession. merely said. "Turn your head
little to the right, and shut your mouth"

MY Mothers Hands.
Such beautiful. beautiful hands

Such beautiful, beautiful hands;
They are neither white nor small;
And you, l know, would scarcely think
That they were fair at all.
I've looked on hands whose form and hue
A sculptor's dream might be;
Yet are these aged, wrinkled hands
Most beautiful to me.
Such beautiful, beautiful handsl
Though heart were weary and sad,
These patient hands kept toiling on,
That the children might be glad.
/ almost weep, as looking back
To childhood's distant day,
think how these hands rested not,
When mine were at their play.

How to Cure a Cold.

The moment man is satisfiedhe has taken
cold, let him do three things: First, eat moth.
ing; second GO TO bed in warm room and
cover up; third drink as much cold water a.
he can; and in three cases out of four, he
will be well in thirty-six hours. To neglect
a cold for forty eight hours after the cough
commences, is to place himself beyound
cure, until The cold has run its course, of a
bout fortnight. Warmth keeps the pores
of the skin open, and relieves it Of the sur
plus which oppresses it, while abstinence
cuts off the supply of material for phlegm
which would otherwise be Coughei up.

The TEXAS TRADE.-In an arti-
clio under this head, urging Kansas
City to hasten railroad connection
with Texas, the Times Of that city
says:
In tho year 1868 fire hundrcd
thousand fat beef cattle from Texas
crossed Red River ut various fords
coming North. At Old Warren, in
Fannin county, one hundred and
twenty-five thousand head crossed,
and this town of Old Warren is but
fifteen miles below Preston, where
it is anticipated the Gulf Railroad
will cross Red River. Tho ages of
all these bullocks ranged from five
to ghtycars and they were bought
at prices ranging from five to eight
dollars per head. AS to condition,
they wcro superb. No grass is
moro nutritious than Texas grass,
and TO State in the Union has such
an immense area of this grass as
Texas. But where did all these cat.
tic go? How many camo to Kan
sas City, tho nearest and best point
for concentration for those vast
drovos? What proportion was
slaughtered here, or shipped from
this point to tho East and South?
Alas not one in five hundred. Fool
ish legislative onactments had been
passed, and indiscriminatc laws had
boon framed, which built up wall
of fire between Texas and Missouri
as far as the cattle trade went. TO
save a few whcezy milk COWS from
premature Spanish fcver' and to
prolong the lives of q score or two
Of rheumatic oxen, five hundred
thousand fat bcevcs were diverted
from their natural channel through
tho State and forced to seek outlets
to n market through tho Territories,
and as high up as Omaha and No
braska City.
