A FEW MAxIMs FOR YOUNG GIRLS.

Never make your appearance in the
morning without having first bathed, if only
with a sponge and a quart ofwater, brushed
aud arranged your hair, dressed yourself
neatly and completely
Keep your clothing, especially your un-
der-clothiug, in perfect order Never let
pins do duty as buttons, CT strings take the
place Of proper bands
Examine every garment when It comes
from the wash, and, if necessary, mend il
with ncatness and precision. Do not sew
up the holes in your stockings, as we have
seen some careless, untidy girls do, but take
iu a broad margin around the hole, be it
small or large, with a fine darning needls
and darning cotton, and cover the fracture
with an interlaoed stitch, so close as to be as
strong as the body Of the stocking, and fine
enough to be ornamental
Stockings mcnded in this way need darn
ing but a very few times in the course Of
their existence.
Never carry coarse embroidered or laced
haudkerchiefs. Fine plain ones are much
more Iady-lke.
Avoid open-worked stockings and very
fancy slippers Fine plain white hose, and
black kid slippers. with only a strap or
rosette in front, are more becoming,
Train yourself to useful occupation. Re
member it is wicked to waste time, and
nothing gives such an impression of vanity
and absolute Stiffness as habit Of idling and
never having anything to do.
If you are in your fathers house take
some department of household labor upon
yourself, and a part of the sewing, and make
it your business to attend to it, Do not let
a call from this idle girl, or visit from that,
or an invitation from the other interfere
with the performance ofyour duty.
Let your pleasures come in as a recreation
not as the business of your life,
Ifyou want to marry do not court or try
to attract the attention Of a young gentle
man. A little wholesome Indifference, real
or assumed, will be much more likely to ac7
comphsh the object Consider, moreover,
that it is better to be woman than wife,
and do not degrade your sex by making your
whole existence turn on the pivot Of mat
trimoDy
IF you can, cultivate some art by which
you can gain an independent livelihood. Do
it whether there is necessity for it or not
Do it quietly if you will, but do it. There
is no telling when or under what circum-
stances you may need it-Denlorest

LESSONS OF SORROW. Sorrow sobers US
and makes the mind genial And in oar
sorrow we love and trust our friends more
tenderly, and the dead become dearer to
US. And just as the stars shine out in the
nights, so there are blessed faces that look
at US in our grief, though their features
we're fading from our recollection. Suffer-
ing Let no man dread it too much, because
it is better for him, and it will help to make
him sure of being immortal. 1t is not in the
bright days, but only in the solemn night,
that other worlds are to be seen shining in
the long, long distances. And it is in sor-
row-the night of the soul-that we see the
farthest, and know ourselves natives of in
fnity and sons and daughters of the Most
High

SUN-BATHs cost nothing, and are the most
refreshing, life giving baths that one can
take, whether sick or well. Every house
keeper knows the necessity of giving her
woolens the benefit of the sun from time to
time, and especially after long rainy sea

will think of the injury their clothes are la
bic TO from dampness, who viii never re-
feet that an occasional exposure of their
own bodies to the sunlight is equally neces-
sary to their own health The sun baths
cost nothing, and that is misfortune for,
people are still deludei with the idea that
those things only can be good or useful
which cost money. Let it not be forgotten
that three of God $ most benefcent gifts to
man-three things the most necessary TO
GOOD health-sunlight, fresh air and water,
are free to all; you can have them in abund-
ance, without money and without price, if
you will. Ifyou would enjoy good health,
then see to it that you are supplied with
pure air to breathe all the time that you
bathe for an hour or so in the sunlight and
that you quench your thirst with no other
fluid than water.--Journal Of Health.

And would rest a little while;
Let your kind looks be my blessing,
And your last 'Good night a smile.
We have journeyed up together
Through the pleasant daytime flown
Now my feet have pressed Efe's summit
And my pathway lies alone.
And, my dear ones, do not call me
Should you haply be awake
When across the eastern hiIl-tops
Presently the day shall break.
For, while yet the stars are lying
In the gray lap ofJhe dawn,
On my long and solemn journey

Far from mortal pain aud sorrow,
And from passions stormy swell,
Knocking at the golden gateway
OF the eternal citadel.
Therefore, dear ones, let me slumber;
Faded is the day aud gone,
And with mornings early splendor

THERE is as much connection between the
words and the thoughts as there is between
the thoughts and the actions. The latter
are not only the expression of the former,
bu. they have a power to react upon the
soul and leave the stain of corruption there
A young man who allows himself TO use one
vulgar or profane word, has not only shown
that there is a foul spot upon bis mind, but
By the utterance Of that word he extends
that spot and infames it, till, by indulgence,

Watch her kindly, stars
From the sweet protecting skies
Follow her with tender eyes;
Look so lovingly that she
Cannot but think of me;
Watch her kindly, stars
soothe her sweetly, night
On her eyes, o o'erwearied, press
The tired lids with light caress
Let that shadow hand of thine
Ever in her dreams seem mine;
Sooth her sweetly, night
Wake her gently, morn
Let the notes of early birds
Seem like loves melodious words
Every pleasant sound, my dear,
When the stars from sleep should hear
Wake her gently, morn
Kiss her softly, winds
Softly, that she may not miss
Any sweet, accustomed bliss;
On her lips, her eyes, her face,
Till come to take your place;
Kiss and kiss her winds

Be KIND IN LITTLE THINGs.-The sun
shine of life is made up of very little beams,
that are bright all the time. In the nurse
ry, on the playground, and in the school
room, there is room all the time for little
acts of kindness, that cost nothing, but are
worth more than gold or silver. To give
up something, where giving up viii prevent
unhappiness-to yield, when persisting will
chafe and fret others-to go little round,
rather than come against another-to take
an i'll word or cross look, rather than resent
or return it; these are the ways in which
clouds and storms are kept off, and pleas
ant smiling sunshine secured even in the
humble home, among very poor people, as
in families in higher stations Much that
we term the miseries of life would be avoid
ed BY adopting this rule of conduct.

THE HOME OF TASTE. How easy it is to
be neat to be clean How easy to arrange
the room with the most graceful propriety
How easy it is to invest our houses with the
truest elegance Elegance resides not with
the upholsterer or the draper-it is not put
Up with the hangings and curtains-it is not
in the mosaies, the carpetings, the rosewood,
the mahogany, the candelabra, or the mar
BILE ornaments; it exists in the spirit presi-
ding over the chambers of the dwelling.
Contentment must always be most graceful;
it sheds serenity over the scenes of its abode,
it transforms waste into garden. The
home hghtened by these intimations of
nobler and brighter life may be wanting in
much which the discontented desire; but to
its inhabitants it will be palace, far outvy-
ing the Oriental in brilliancy and glory.
