A WoMAN's OPINION OF WoMEN's RIGHrs.-At
one of the recent meetings of working women in
New York, lady who had listened long and
patiently to the differing views of the speakers,
until patience ceased to be virtue, rose and
said:
"She had waited in vain to hear some prac-
ica suggestions for the relief of her toiling sis
ters The ballot would feed no starving women,
or save no trembling sister from a life of shame.
The wholesale denunciation of man, was dis
courteous and unwomanly. God had made no
mistake in making two genders, and for every
mean man that the female slanderers will bring
her. she would find his match in a woman"

DrDs'T WANT TO BE PERsoSAL.-Four gentlemen
on Treasure bill were recently engaged at little
game of draw. One of the number unfortu-
nately had but one eye, but this did not dis
qualify him from playing roots" During the
course of the play there were some little advan-
tages taken, when, at last, one of the party who
vas looser, thought the thing had gone about
far enough so, drawing himself up, he said ;
81 don't wan. to be personal, and would not
willingly cast insinuations but if see any
more cheating going on, I'll knock some son OF
b-h's other eve out"

Gems OF Thought.

Nevery marry without love, nor love without
reason.
He who pets every barking dog must pick up
great many stones.
Laziness is a good deal like money the more
man has of it the more he wants.
Experience is one of the oldest and best of
| teachers, but her prices ruinously high.
You may gather rich harvest of knowledge
by reading, but thought is the winnowing ma
chine
To get money without earning it is chase
that leads few to afiuence, but many to the
penitenliary.
Never wait for thing to turn up. Go and
turn it up yourself. 1t takes less time, and is
sure to be done.
That alone can be called true refinement which
elevates the soul of man, purifying his manners
by improving the intellect
Vanity is the fruit of ignorance. It thrives
most in subterranean places, never reached by
the air of heaven and the light of the sun.
There is certain softness of manners in
which, either man or woman, adds a charm that
almost entirely compensates for lack of beauty.
Looking to others for our standard of happi-
ness is the sure way to be miserable. Our bus
mess is with our own hearts and our own mo-
tives.
The water that flows from a spring does not
CONCEAL in winter, and those sentiments of
friendship which flow from the heart cannot be
frozen by adversely.
Truth and manliness are two qualities that
will carry you through the world much better
than policy, tact or expediency, any other
would that was devised to conceal or mystify
deviations from the straight line.
The habit of reading confers positive strength
and elevation of character. The wel-read man
is usually the well-informed man.. Reading is
the great stimulus of thinking The instances
are rare of great writer and thinker who was
not himself great reader.
pretty woman is of the institutions of
this country-an angel in muslin and glory.
She makes sunshine, blue sky and happiness
wherever she goes. Her path is one of delicious
roses, perfume and beauty. She is a sweet
poem, written in rare colors and choice silks,
and good principles. Men stand up before her
as so many admiration points. Her words float
around the ear like music, birds of paradise, or
perfumes of the Sabbath bells. Without her,
society would lose its truest attraction, the
church its 6rmest reliance.

PURE WATER.-We wonder that travellers do
not carry with them a little bottle of perman-
ganate of potash-a few drops Of which would
speedily purify any water. A friend OF ours,
who had just returned from India, tells us that
be has derived the greatest benefit from its en-
ployment. In cases where the water was tur-
bid, and tasting and smelling of decaying or
ganc matter the addition of few drops Of the
solution of the permanganate made it in a few
minutes, as clear and fresh as spring water

FoR RSMoKERs.-Smokers of the royal weed are
recommended to place in the bow els of their
pipes little powered tanuin, or a sponge satu-
rated with tannin. The smoke will thus be de-
prived of its characteristic aroma and all the va
porized nicotine, which is the Intoxicating
principle At first the smoke will be entirely
Tree from all taste and smell of tobacco, but as
the sponge becomes charged with the nicotine
the odor will reaper. By charging the sponge
frequently the smoker may indulge in his habit
as immoderately as he pleases without injurious
effect

In Quiet Days.

The dying year grows strangely mild:
Now in the hnzy autumn weather
NY heart is like q happy child,
And life and /, friends reconciled
TO over the hills together.
My peaceful days run sweet and still
AsYafess sltpping over sand.
SEEKING the stsdows Of free will
To gather tenderei lights than fill
Days over-lavish hand
The summer wood with music rings.
The singers is a troubled breast;
am no more the bird that sings.
But that which broods with folded vines
Upon its quiet nest
Oh, fairest mouth Of all the yeari
,,, oh, sweetest days in life they melt:
Mithin, without, is autumn cheer,
September there, September here,
So tranquil and so sweet
UT have l watched all night with grief
All night with joy, and which is best.
An, Doth were sharp, and both were brief
My heart was like wind-blovn leaf
give them both for rest.
Fair Quiet, close to Joy allied,
But loving shadier walks to keep,
By day is ever at my side;
And all night long with me abide
Peace and her sister Sleep.

CHANG, the Chinese giant recently brought to
this country, is probably the tallest man in the
world. He stands eight feet eight inches in his
stockings, and is about twenty-five years of age.
He is good looking and quite intelligent, speaks
English fuently, and is quite gallant in his way
His pet extravaganza is dress. He devotes all
his energy and the most o: bis business time to
the decoration of his csmbrous body with store
clothes. Chang's father was taller than be. and
sister Is said to overtop him by few inches.

CURE FOR Low SPIRrs.-EXerese for the
body, occupation for the mind, are the grand
constituents of health and happiness. Motion
is a great preserving principle of nature, to
which even inanimate things are subject; for
the winds, waves, and the earth itself, are rest
less and the waving of trees, shrubs and flowers
is known to be essential part of their econ
omy. A fixed rule of taking several hours ex-
ercise every day, if possible, in the open air. if
not under cover, will! be almost certain to Sc
cure one exemption from disease, as we'll as from

AVERAGING ExpENsEs.-lt is very seldom that
any business can be counted upon as sure to
yield large and constant income. There are
many chances and casualties in trade and busi-
ness which cannot be fOreseen. He is fortu.
nate man indeed whatever his calling, who
does not find himself, sooner or later, going
q" out of fashion" The newcomer, or more
dashing, ingenious willy competitor will
sometimes distance an old public favorite Or
successful man may be spoiled by success, and
spoil bis own business by neglect or over conf
dence in his reputation. For these and many
other reasons it should be the effort of every
man to become independent of his business.
We mean that he should place part, however
small of his earnings in some description of in
vestment, which shall be secure from the
chances which affect his regular calling. To do
this he should tax, not his business means, but
his personal vanity, and be content to creep, as
the phrase goes, before he attempts to walk
and to walk before he essays to run. There is
many a man who looks back on the careless ex-
penditures of past years with regret, and who
might be assisted by the interest of his
prosperous acquisitions, if he had funded, in
stead of spending his money for temporary graf
ifcation. Working men, while in the prime of
their strength and manhood, and in the receipt
of liberal wages, might secure themselves not
only against the distant day of old age but also
against much of the Inconvenience of dull times
of sickness of forced inactivity from any other
cause. Whoever will make firm rule, and
abide by it, always to live within his income, is
on the safe road to competence, if not to wealth.

CAT CONVENTIONS. Those whose lives are
made burdensomc by midnight cat conventions
should read the following:
elf cat doth meet cat, oh need they both
to squall? Every Tommy has his Tabby wait
ing on the wall, and yet she welcomes his ap-
proach with an unearthy yawl. If q kit doth
wish to court cat upon the WALL why don't
she sweeuy sit and smile, and not stand up and
bawl; and lift his precious back up high, and
show his teeth and moan-as if 'twere collie
more than love that made the fellow groan.
Among the twain there is a swain, his voice is
known full well but what's his name or whence
he came the dexee alone can tell. He's sweet
upon the other sex, his amorous passions rise,
he cannot resist the tender glance of their Sc
ductive eyes-and so, with groans and horrid
these midnight caterwauls' impossible to bear"

on the evening before the general
| departure that we five, sitting togeth-
er under our favorite trees, entered iu-
to a solemn agreement to meet, flood
permitted, that day thirty years, at
the same spot ct midnight, with the
purpose of declaring how Providence
had hitherto dealt with US in our sew
eral ways of life, and comparing our
actual experience with the brilliant
hopes of boyhood.
80 far asUnder have our duties
separated Us / myself for some years
presided over a colonial see, and my
friend, Colonel SpuTrier, has sew
ed in India that for the wholep eriod
of thirty years no two Of US haEe-ever
met together, and indeed so far as |
am aware, held communication of
any sort. It was a doubt with me
whether every member Of the party
had not long since forgotten this boy
ish compact. There were also the
difficulties that might have arisen if
remembered, IN keeping it. But the
sOlemnity with which it was made
had left upon my MUD, as It did uFon
others, an abiding impression. My
pledge had been given and never
withdrawn. [ thought of the posi-
bility of one Of US at least, faithful to
his word, groping his way hither ia
the faint hope of grasplDg an old
friends hand, and finding only dark
ness and a void l was altogether
wrong aud mistrustful; here we are,
all five, grateful for many mercies,
cordially rejoicing to have met again:
and, if our Vocations in life have been
widely diverse, L may, / think, say
with truth, thai we have wrought in
them with honesty and singleness Of
purpose, without wrong to any, in
thought, Ia word or deed You are
satisfied, my friends?'
The officer bowed and aDolOIizing
for their interference, prepared to
move on.
Not a word" said the bishop"
you have only done your duty. Good
night, and may you meet with no less
loyal and peaeeable mea than you
have surprised here.
Here are two mere watchers
to be forgiven, said a voice familiar
to the bishop, as two figures, male
and female, suddenly decended into
the road, and Mrs Horslall, bathed
in tears, threw herself into the arms Of
her astolisbed husband, while Mr
Lilcham, 10 a few words explained
the anxiety which had prompted
their pursuit. Anger was out Of the
question; a general laugh announced
that all was forgiven. Only the
bishop attempted 10 frown. aud that
ives a failure.
