A WIDon's VIcrIM.-There appeared,
on certain day in each of the daily pa
pers an advertisement setting forth that
a ''young widow lady of refinement, edn-
cation, beauty and wealth, intends to make
the tour of the Continent, and wishes to
engage as companion and protector, a
young gentleman of cultivation and re-
finemcnt who will receive liberal sala-
rv and have all his expenses paid" That
brings n crowd of the prettiest young
men in town to the Office Of the Employ
mont Bureau man, who acts as her agent.
Each take him aside and says, quite con.
fdentially, "My dear fellow, if you get this
engagement for me, I'll give you,"- -.(twen-
ty.fve or fifty dollars, as the case may be)
Then tho agent says, "My dear sir, l don't
think l ought to do it, but still l like
your looks and think the lady will yes,
I am sure she will, and 1 have influence
with her; so just take a note from me,
sec her and come back" Each understands
that "come back" 1t means "come down"
after the engagements obtained. Each
and all see her in turn, in magnificent
brown stone mansion, and they find her
very pretty, very smart; and whom she
seems to take great fancy to each one
in his order, and engages him as her COM
panion at splendid salary, each pronoun-
ces her an exceedingly charming woman,
and himself one of the luckiest men alive.
She engages them all, and they all return
and pay the agent his handsome fee. The
next day the ofico is closed, the rent was
about due, and this was tho grand coup of
the agents art to close in blaze of pro-
fessional glory, "bribing" even the land
lord and the man from whom he hired
his furniture. AS for the beautiful young
widow, the places which knew her know
her no more. She only engaged board for
q week in the brown stone mansion, and
left before the week was up.-Chicago

HARD TIMEs-Under this head, the
Suffolk Sun gives several severe hits to
the hard times grumblers:
The cry of hard times, scarcity of mon
ey, and such expressions, has become to
us rather sickenng. We do not believe
half that people say in reference to the
times. Every body is busy, and yet all
the timo complaining. Our people dress
rs we'll as they ever did. Thcir tables, as
n general thing, are loaded with plenty
Meats, vegetables, fruits and pastries in
abundance. Why such constant complain
ing? Tho times are always hard to somo
people. And in the most prosperous sea-
sons in the history of our country, there
have been some unfortunate poor persons
in every community with whom the times
were always hard. This will always be
so. But the truth is, the constant cry of
hard times, is, with most people, a simple
cloak to cover up their covetousness. We
arc sick of it.

PpopoRr1oNs OF A BEAUTIFUL BODY

Proportions OF A BEAUTIFUL BODY
Tho height should be exactly equal TO tho
distance between tho tips of the middle
fingers of either hand when the arms are
fully extended. Ten times the length of
the hand or seven and half times the
length of the foot, or five times the diam
eter of the chest from one armpit to tho
other. should also each give the height Of
the whole body. The distance from the
junction of the thighs to the ground
should bo the same as from that point to
the crown of the head; The knee should
be precisely midway betwoon the same
point at the bottom of the heel. The
distance from the elbow to the tip OF the
middle finger, should DO the same as from
the elbow to the middle line of the breast.
From the top. of the head to the level of

The Drunkard.

Very few persons would be willing to
marry an habitual drunkard: but it is
not generally known what great risk is
run in marrying the son or daughter OF a
habitual drunkard, although they them
selves are strictly temperate from nigh
and moral principles; indeed, it is not an
uncommon thing to find the children OF
beastly drunkards the very models OF
temperance, from having had before their
own eyes, for years in succession, the ter
rible evils of habitual inebriation.
1t is one. of the indisputable facts in
physiology. and the observations of in
telligent men confirm the truth, that Ger.
tain diseases and taints of body, and
traits of mind, are transmitted from faith
er to son. So we'll and firmly is this i'm
preston fixed on the minds of men, that
when man becomes insane. one of the
very first efforts is to endcavor to ascer-
tain if it is not in the family.
Another important fact is, that heredi-
tary traits and taints sometimes overleap
q generation; arising most probably from
the fact that one parent has extraordinary
good health. sufficiently vigorous to stave
off the malady in the immediate descend.
ant for all that, and to the extent, that if
the grandchild marries one who has a
similar taint, the offspring developes the
characteristic of the grand parent.
Drunkenness is transmissible malady,
because anatomical investigations demon
strate that the brain of drunkard after
q comparative few indulgences, becomes
organically impaired, and when that is
the case, it is just as impossible to repair
the injury as to have new finger grown
in the place of one which has been re-
moved. Surely no stronger appeal can
be made to mans intelligence, to his
honor, and to his humanity, to practice
temperance in the use of all Intoxicating
drinks.
AS ga proof of the argument made, it may
be sufficient to say in general terms, that
observation shows, that in any number
of drunkards about one third become so
through social influences. More than
hall of the first class are reclaimed, but
to recover men from Incorporate habits,
who have become so from hereditary in
fuences, is almost impossible, even al
though they may have. had Christian
education and the early instilment of
strictly temperance principles.
Let the reader who can, thank God
that he has not had the curse of an in
temperate parent, and lot him pray, daily,
with consistent action, that he may never
be permitted to fall into SO great crime
as that of being an intemperate parent
himself Nor ought man who has been
drunkard, to allow himself to marry
and become the father of children, for
they are very certain either to inherit his
vice or to have implanted in their consti'
tutions the seeds of insidious diseases.
To be safe from these calamities. and
crimes there is Only one safe plan, never
taste drop of the accursed thing.

quency or quantity. If they are mere
stimulants, and taken thus IN moderation
with uniformity, they would in time be-
come inert, or the system would become
so habituated to their employment as to
remain in the same relative position to
them, as if they had never been used
and consequently as to themselves they
had better mover been used, as they are
so liable to abuses. But science and fact
unite IN declaring them to be nutritious
as we'll as stimulant; hence they will do
a new good to the system every day, to
the end of life, just as bread and fruits /;
hence we never get tired of either. But
the use of bread and fruit is daily abused
by mutitudes, and dyspepsia and cholera
morbus result; yet, we ought not to fore
go their employment on that account,
nor should we forego the use of tea and
coffee because their inordinate use gives
neuraIgias and other ailments.
But the habitual uses of tea and coffee
at the last aud first meals of the day, has
another high advantage-it is productive
of incalculable good in the way of avert
ing evils.
We will drink at our meals, and if we
do not drink these, we will drink what is
worse-cold water, milk or alcoholic mix
lures. The regular use of these last will

the system, in raising said water to the
temperature of the body-about one hun
dred degrees-that the process of diges-
tion is arrested in the meanwhile, giving
rise to deatt6g sickness of the stomach,
to twisting pains, to vomitings, purgings,
and even to cramps, to fearful contor-
tions and sudden deaths; which things
would have been avcrted had even the
same amount OF liquid, in the shape of
hot water, been used.
But who, knowing these things, and
being prejudiced against the use of tea
and coffee, would subject himself to be

A D1sGRAcErUL BUSINESS piece Q

A DIsGRAcEFUL BUsINEss.-A piece OF
petty trickery has just been brought to
our notice which deserves exposure. Mr..
George Long, the English classical schol-
ar and editor Of several classics, transla-
ted into English the "Thoughts of the
Emperor Marcus Aurclius." An American
publisher proceeded to pirate this work,
as there was no law to prevent his doing,
and took the extraordinary liberty of pre-
fixing a dedication to Ralph Waldo
Emerson. This, readers wero naturally
led to infer, was votive tribute from the
translator, instead of nero intcrpola-
ton of the piratical publisher. There.
upon Mr.. Long, preixed 10 the second
English edition note, from which this is
an extract:
81 have been informed that the Ameri-
can publishers have dedicated this trans
lation to an American. l havo no objec-
tion to the book being dedicated to an
American, but in doing this without my
consent, the publisher has transgressed
the bounds Of decency. l have never
dedicated book to any man, and it l
dedicated this, 1 should choose tho man
whose name seemed to me the most wor-
thy to be joined to that OF the Roman
soldier and philosopher If l dcd-
icated thislittle book to any man, l should
dedicate it to him who led the Confeder-
ate armies against the powerful invader,
and retired from an unequal contest de-
teatcd, but not dishonored to the noble
Virginian soldier whose talents and viz
tues place him by the side of the best and
wisest man who sat on the throne of the
Imperial Caesars"
A Baltimorean, who had heard of this
tribute 10 General Lee, ordered the book,
for the sake Of it, through bookseller of
Baltimore. When it arrived from New
York, he found that the note had been
cut out, although it was the same edition
from which the note had been quoted.
Another Baltimore bookseller, who had a
commission to get copy of the book in
New York, with the note, reports that it
cannot be had in New York. The con-
clusion is inevitable that British books
are expurgated in New York to suit the
sentiments of American booksellers. The
morality of such q performance needs no
comment. The correspondent to whom
we owe these facts exculpates Messrs.
Pott & Amory, through whom this ex-
purgated copy of the book was obtained,
from the meanness of mntilating it, and
concludes that it must have been done be-
fore it came into their hands. The book
itself, in the original edition, is in ono of
Bohn's series, and it behooves the Amcri-
can agents Of those libraries to investigate
the outrage committed upon their prnci
pals and American bookbuyers.-Neao

that she was the daughter of once re-.
