WOMAELY MoDEsTY.-Man loves the mys
terious. a clOudless sky, the full blown rose,
leave him unmoved, but the violet which
hides its blushing beauties behind the bush
and the moon when she emerges from beneath
a cloud, are to him sources of inspiration and
of pleasurec, Modesty is to merit what shade
is to figures in paintiug-it gives it boIdness
and prominence. Nothing adds more TO
female beauty than modesty; it sheds around
the countenance halo of light, which is
borrowed from virtue. Botanists have given
to the rosy hue which tinges the cup Of the
white rose the name of "maiden bIush.'-
This pure and delicate hue is the only paint
Christian virgins should use ; it is the richest
ornament A woman without modesty is like
a faded flower, which difuses an unwhole-
some odor, and which the prudent gardener
will throw from him. Her destiny is mel
ancholy, for it terminates in shame and re-
pentance. Beauty passes like the flowers of
the alboAwhich blooms and dies in few hours;
but modesty gives the female character charms
which supply the place of the transitory fresh
ness of youth.

New Use for Paper.

A new branch of industry has just been in
troduced. We have for some time been ia
miliar with various novel applications OF paper.
But now the uses of paper are very much ex-
tended by Iatent process by NJ. Pavy. The
paper made by this process is of peculiar
kind. 1t very much resembles that used BY
the Japanese for pocket handkercbiefs, aud il
susceptible of the same application. The
patentee calls it "felted," and to a certain ex-
tent the term is appropriate, Both animal
aud vegetable materials are employed in lis
production. Among the vegetables We find
some hitherto much employed in the manu>
facture of paper-New Zealand tax, jute,
plants of the mallow, and the ordinary 6bres,
fax, hemp and cotton. The animal matters
used are wool, silk, skins, and other materials,
which is certainly a novelty in paper making.
These various matters are reduced to pulp
aud bleached, and then "felted" in appropriate
machinery. which is, no doubt, the same as is
used in ordinary paper making. Il will be
easily understood that the mixture of such
materials as we have named gives paper of
extraordinary pliancy, fexibility, and strength.
1t can, indeed, be sewn together with much
ease, and makes rs strong seam as the woven
fabrics it is intended to replace. The uses
to which this paper can be put are inuumer>
able. We may mention few of the articles
We have seen. First, pettIcoatS, which NO
girl of the period could resist. These may be
printed exactly like the skirts now so fashion
able, or they may be white, aud have open
work stamped out in patterns which scarcely
any amount of labor with scissors and needle
could initiate. The marvel is, that they can
be sold retail for sixpence each. We have
next, bed furniture, OF imitation cretonnes
and chintzes. These are printed with pat
terms of great beauty-and set of curtains
will only cost five shillings. We have alsc
quilts which besides being nonconductors Of
heat have a very genteel appearance. White
day-covers for beds are made with embossed
patterns aud equally cheap. White tables
cloths, stamped with patterns with remarkable
good taste, WILL we are sure, soon ornament
many a dinner table, and serve to light the
fires the day after the party, unless the host
be of an economical turn aud resell them TO
the paper maker But the material is also
applied to articles of substantial character.
Very good imitation leather is formed OF it,
and furniture covering, and even shoes, may
be made. The last can be made impermea-
bic to wet by the introduction of oils and in-
dia rubber. We have said enough to show
that material is produced which will proba-
bly, have considerable influence on some of
our staple industries. Paper collars, it may
well be supposed, have already had n sensible
influence on the linnen trade, and the further
extensive substitution of paper for woven fab.
ricks must produce still greater changes.

We FADE.-We extract the following
beautiful aud truthful illustration from an
exchange: As the trials OF life thcken, and
the dreams of other days fade, one by one in
the deep vista of disappointed hope the heart
grows weary of the struggle, aud we begin to
realize our insignifcance. Those who have
climbed to the pinnacle of fame, or revel in
luxury and wealth, go to the grave at last with
the poor mendicaut who begs by the wayside,
and like him are soon forgotten. Generation
after generation, says an eloquent writer, have
felt as we feel, and their fellows were as active
in life rs ours are now They passed away as
a vapor, while nature wore the same aspect of
beauty as when the Creator commanded her
to be. And SO shall it be when we are gone.
The heavens will be as bright over our grave
as they are now around our path the world
will have the same attraction for offsprings yet
unborn that she had once for ourselves, and
that she has now for our children.

The great natural curiosity knowE as
Sunkcn Lake is situated in the Cascade Noun
tains, about seventy-fve miles north east of
jacksonville, Oregon. The walls are two
thousand feet high, and almost perpendicular,
running down to the water and having no
beach. The depth is unknown, the surface is
smooth and unrufled, and lies SO far below
the surface of the mountains that the air cur.
rents do not affect it. Its length is estimated
at twelve miles and its breadth at ten. No
living person has, it is said, ever reached the
waters edge. The Lake lies ''silent, still and
mysterious in the bosom of the everlasting
hills, Ike huge we'll scooped out by the
hands of geuii."

The AIM OF LIFE.-The great controlIip

THE AIM OF LIFE.-The great controlling
purpose of life is the true test of its value.
Men who have low and unworthy aims, who
are content to groyel in sensual pursuits, never
rise above the level of their lowest desires
This is what degrades or elevates life-its
aim. This is law.
This influence is not always perceptible.-
1t is frequently so subtle to evade detec-
tion in full aud sometimes it assumes n shape
SO as to deceive both the perception and the
judgment. But it is always there 1t controls.
Its voice, though unheeded, commands the
whole army Of rational powers, and summons
each and all to the mighty task. Choose
wisely, therefore, your aim.

Thomas Jefferson as a Temperance
Man,

a correspondent Of the Titusville (Pa)
Herald writes from Washington:
Il have heard my father tell repeatedly
the following anecdote of Mr.. Jefferson =
A gentleman was recommended to Mr.. JEFF
ierson for a considerable Office with great
earucstness. There was competition for the
office, but the recommendations of the friends
ofthis gentleman were more earnest and some
what more numerous than those Of his com
petitors. They urged that he was man of
integrity, a decided friend of Mr. Jefferson,
and fully capable Of discharging its duties
Mr.. Jefferson was about to give him the Office,
when friend of his, well known to him to be
such, called upon him, having had informa>
ton of Mr. Jefersons intention in the case
H broached the subject, and said plainly
that he hoped that appointment would not be
made. why o?' said Mr.. Jefferson he
is recommended to me as strong political
friend, man of integrity and capacity All
that, SIR said the gentleman, SIS true, but lie
is Incorporate; he uses Intoxicating liquors
too freely Mr.. Jefferson replied, Il am g lad
YOU have given me this information the ap-
pointment shall not be made. l have long
since made up my mind never, knowingly, to
appoint any man to office who uses intOxi-
eating liquors freely And the appointment
was not made"

MIND YoUR OwN BUsINEss.-To tell
man to his face to mind his own business,
would be considered about equal to knocking
him down. And yet it is one of the simplest
rules of right conduct, and the most useful
that mankind can adopt in their intercourse
with each other There is great deal Of the
Paul Pry spirit in the human heart, or won
derful inquistiveucss in regard to the personal
and private affairs of friends and neighbors.
This spirit makes more mischief in the com,
munity than almost any other cause, and
creates more malice, envy, and jealousy, than
can be overcome in a century. Let every
man mind his own business, and there will
not be half the trouble in the world that there
is at present.

you till the skin comes off,"
"Why, Angelina; Angelina, dear, what do
you mean? Where did you learn such talk 2"
exclaimed the mortified mother, who stood
talking with a friend. Angelina's childish
reply was good commentary upon this man
ner of speaking to children
why, mother, you see we were playing,
and he's my little boy, and I'm scolding him
just as you did me this morning, that's all"

How TO MANAGB KEROSENE LAMPs.-
As the oil burns down in the lamp, highly
iufammable gas gathers over its surface. and
as the oil decreases the gas increases. When
the oil is nearly consumed, slight Jar will
often infame the gas, and an explosion Is sure
to follow, dealing death and destruction. a
bomb-sheIl is not more to be dreaded Now,
if the lamp is not allowed to burn more than
half way down, such accidents are Impossible.
Always ill your lamps every morning.

THE HEART OF BURGLAR Touched
The Pontiac (Mich) Gazette has this item
a poor young widow in Berlin, coming home
the other night, found on her table note ad-
dressed to her reading as follows: "Madame-
l came here with the intention of robbiDg
you, but the sight of this respectable and
peaceful attic room, decorated with pious
souvenirs, and, above all your two little chill
dreD, who were quietly sleeping in their little
beds and smiling in their dreams, have
touched my heart, and instead of depriying
you of the little money found in the drawer,
take the liberty of leaving here fifty dollars,
hoping that yOu will accept them as a tribute
of respect and admiration. True the money
has been stolen; but perhaps in the course of
every day life you have taken money from a
worse man than your Obedicnt Servant"

- Mrs Irwin, sister of Mrs Stonewall
Jackson, has secured patent for an improve
meut in the construction of houses, which, il
is claimed, will create new era in architec-
ture Mrs. Irwin proposes six-waled or hex
a,onal apartments, which are not only much
handsomcr, but really cheaper than the quad
rapoular form. a wall of so feet built in
the hexagonal form incloses third more
space than the same space of wall built in the
square form. and as these hexagonal rooms fit
ipto each other without loss Of space, the gain
to whole building is very great. The Patcntee
also claims that this mode of building gives
a greater degree of strength than any other,
and that this mode of building, in the hands
of a good architect, is capable of assuming
greater artistic beauty than the square or quad
rangular form. The octngonal building at
tracted a good deal of attention some years
ago, but the hczagonal is claimed to be some
thing entirely new.
