NUMBER "a.
The Doll Woman.

The doll proper is simple structure of
wax or wood, its knees and elbows glued
together;" and the human doll is a complex
machine of flesh and blood But, saving such
structural differences, these women are as as
sentially dclls as those in the bazar which
open and shut their eyes at the word of COM
mand, enforced by wire, and squeak when you
pinch them in the middle. There are women
who seem born into the world only as the play
things and make-belieres of human life. As
impassiye as the waxen creatures in the nursery,
no rcmolstrance tosehea tkam and no experience
teaches them. Theft final cause seems to be to
look pretty, to be always in perfect drawing
room order, and to be the occasions by which
their friends and companions are taught patience
and selfdenial. And they perfectly fulfil their
destiny, which may be so much carried to their
credit A doll woman is hopelessly useless, and
can do nothing with her brains or her hands.
IN distress sickness she can only sit by you,
and look as sorrowful her round, smooth face
will permit, but she has not helping sugges-
tion to make, not fraction Of practical power
to put forth. When man has married doll
wife he has assigned himself to absolute loneli-
ness or double burden. He cannot live with
bis pretty toy in any more reality Of sympathy
than does child with her puppet. He can tell
her nothing CT his affairs, nothing of his
troubles Or his thoughts, because she can impGrt
no new idea even from the woman's point of
of brains to understand anothers life. Is she
not doll? and does not the very essence of her
dolhood lie in this want of perccptive faculty at
all times, both for things and feelings? What
the hot flashes of passion, the bitter tears of
grief, the frenzy of despair, TO her? She sees
them, and she wonders that people can be so
silly as to make themselves and her uncomfort-
able but Of the depth of the anguish they ex-
press she knows more than does her waxen
image when little missy sobs over it in her arms,
and confdes her sorrows to its deaf ears. What
ever anxieties oppress her husband he must
keep them religiously to himself-he cannot
share them with her and the last shred of his
credit like the last effort OF his strength, must
be employed ip maintaing his toy wife in the
| fools paradise where alone she can make her
habitation. Many mans back has broken
under the strain of such burden, and many
ruined fortune might have been held together,
and repaired when damaged, had it not been for
the eLigencies and necessities of the living DOLL
who had to be spared all want or inconvenience
at the cost Of everything else. How many men
are grooming in spirit at this moment over the
infataation that made them sacrifice the whole
worth of life for the sake of pretty face and
plasic manner.-LOndoa Saturday Review.

The STRAIGHT OF Ir.-A lad, narrating street
fight in which he had been engaged said "Ill
tell you how it was. You see, Bill and me went
down to the wharf to fish and ] felt in nv
pocket and found my knife. ard it was gone and
said, Bill, you stole my knife; and he said J
was another; and said &c there yourself; and
he said it was no such thing and l said he was
a liar, and could whip him if was bigger r
him; and be said he'd rock ne to sleep, mother
and said he 'vas bigger one; and he said !
never had the measles; aud l said fer him to
fork over that knife, or I'd fix him for tomb
stone at Laurel Hill and he said my grand
mother vas no gentleman; and said be dursn t
take it up but he did, Jon bet; you never
well, you never die; then got up again. and
he tried, but be didn't; and I grabbed hir, and
throwed him down on the top of RE, like several
bricks and tell you it beat alI--and so he did
and my little dog got behind Bill and bit him,
and Bill kicked at the dog and tie dog ran, and
ran after the dog to fetch him back, and l
didn t catch him till got clear home and I'll
whip him more yet. Is my eye very black ?'

WE Pass FOR WHAT WE Area man passes
for what he is worth Very idle is ali curiosity
concerning other peoples estimate of us, and all
fear for remaining unknown is not less SO. If a
man knows that he can do anything-knows
that he can do it better than anybody else-he
has tie pledge of acknowledgment of that fact
by all persons. The world is full of Judgment
days, and into every engagement that man en-
ters; into every action that he attempts, he is
gauged and stamped. !E every troop of boys
that hoop and run in each yard and square, a
new conner is well and accurately weighed in the

trial of his speed and temper. ! stranger comes

FaithIess.

We swung at anchor, where the wave
Showed great sea-baLners far below;
The waters rippled up to lave
Her hand. that with its bracelets glow
Hung toying with the trembling tide
That joyed to kiss go fair Il wrist
In the dim distance waste and wide
The white sails glimmer'd through the mist
There was silence on the sea-
silence that i would not break;
So sweet that eve it seemed to me
To float and for my lady's sake
To my fancies into rhyme,
That she would praise some happy day;
For then no fateful after-tme
Had come to sweep my dreams away,
'Twere well it had been but a dream,
And yet | trusted in her truth;
Her soft eyes had evil CLEAN
That slew me. and she knew no ruth,
And still the white sails pass the shore,
And melt into the purple air;
But she will watch them never more,
As faithless as her face was fair.

which contained 5000 mistakes. lie gives the
following example of the difficulty of getting out
perfect book. Some professors of the Univer-
sity at Edinburg resolved to publish a book
which should be model of Typographical accu-

ter it was thought to be perfect, the sheets were
pasted up in the hall of the University, ana re,

LORD MAcAULEY.-,As talker, his powers
were perhaps unrivalled. 1t was there that he
showed what he could do without the prepara-
ton which might, if it did not, insure the splen-
dor of his essays and his oratory. At the din
ner-table he poured out his marvellous eloquence
with rapidity equalled only by that of his
friend Ha!lam S utterarce. He talked much if
at all, and thus it was found that it did not an
swer very well to invite him with Jeffrey and
Sydney Smith. Jeffrey could sit silent for
moderate time with serenity. Sydney Smith
could not without annoyance. Both had three
years of fall lberty-tor they dii not interfere
with each otner-during Macaulay's absence;
but he eclisped both on his return. After some
years, when his expectations began to merge in
consciousness Of failure, he sometimes sat quiet
on such occasions, listening lost in thought,
as might happen. 1t then that Sydney
Smith uttered his celebrated saying about his
conversational rival % Macaulcy is improved
Yes, Maucauley is improved | have observed
in him of late hashes-of silence" - Harriet

WHITE PINE PGTs.-For q student of natural
history, this portion of Nevada offers opportun-
ties that cannot be had elsewhere. Fork tailed
lizards, toads with horns, spiders as long as ter
capns, and scorpions resembling Holsters in
size--these are some of the natural wonders.
There are, besides, centipedes as long eels, an
ant with sting in his tail like that of hornet ;
big black bugs that stand on their hind legs and
snap, litsle bugs that snap most internally, with
out standing on their hind legs, grasshoppers
whom it is idle to attempt to terrify, great fat
crlekets, big as young Shanghaes. The sono-
rous cricketS crawl out OF their dens and placing
themselves in defiant attitude before the aston
ished traveller, suddenly set the crank Of their
clatter-mill in motion, tearing the atmosphere
fer numerous rods about into threads.

PUTTING IN HER OAR AT THE WRcNG PLACE
An American minister of fine descriptive power
was on one occasion preaching about Heaven;
and to show the absurdity OF Emanuel Sweden
borg on the subject, drew graphic picture OF
the Swedenborgan heaven, with its beautiful
fields, fire horses, COWS, and pretty women and,
in the midst of his glowing description, good
old sister, carried away with the scene went
into -antnres and exclaimed: " Glory glory

TIE JEALOUSY OF GIRLs.-Girls are awcully

introduced, when they first meet at ball or
croquet party; see how coldly critical they look
at each other, how nsolently their eyes rove
upon every portion of their rivals dress read in
their faces the outspoken scorn as the result of
their scrutiny. g You think you have done it
very WELL but you have made fright of your
self, and an much better than you !" Watch
their disdain of the more admired among them :
and how excessively naughty Ada CT Amy is
about whom the young men cluster. How bold
she is how affected she is and, oh =! how 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 s-a clever feint that
does not answer 1t is quite study to watch
the wa il which girls shake hands to ge.her or
take hands in dances. The limp cool mpertinent

their arms fall as if paralyzed, tells volume to
