Snowman Eloquence.

The following is the latest
piece of Snowman eloquence:
Gentlemen, this is the cele-
brated boa constructor, the fin
est, largest, strongest, and
prettiest animal Of its species
on exhibition in this country.
He was caught in South Africa
(as he lay torpid after swallow
ing two oxen and q drove of
sheep in a wire net, his capture
affording a beautiful illustra-
tion of successful wire pulling.
1t was supposed that the sand
where he was found was hot
enough to boil eggs, and that
his skin was atleast well done
there is proved by it's highly
finished appearance. His color
is supposed to combine all the
hues of all snakes that ever
hissed or bit, from the 'old ser
pent' to a coDger eel. His size
is variable, as, like most other
objects Of nature he expands
with heat and contracts with
cold. For every rise of five de-
grees in the thermometer he
uets a foot in longitude. In
his native sands he is a hun
dred and fifty feet long. The
warm season of our own coun-
try stretches him twenty-five
feet. Last January, when the
thermometer fell to sixteen
degrees, he shrunk into such
trifing dimensions as to be in
visible through a microscope.
His present length you can see
for yourselves. His temper
ance principles are of the
Goughist kind. He is a dozen
cold water societies rolled into
one. His drink.at his present
dimensions is three gallons of
water per week, his food three
more gallons. He has great
natural talents for politics,
which he shows by changing
his coat four times a year.

of the most important and gen

and the honest desire of one to

mother of your children, the
sharer ofyourjoys and sorrows,
the one confidant in whom you
repose all your wishes, hopes
and desires; for one who can
meet you at your return at

give you all confidence, love,
trusting hope and wealth of
her pure, young heart; one who
studies in all Wonan's loving
ways to add to your love, trust
and confidence in her; who
knows no enjoyment but with
you, to you and for you, and
whose dream of bliss is to fill
your heart with all the rich,

When making your choice,

you be, to study well the temper
of the female you wish to unite
yourself with. Women with
high uncomfortable tempers sell

frivulous, maudlin and sleepy
ones, much worse.
The girl who thinks of but
little, save fine dress, balls,
promenades and lovers, can
scarcely fill the requisite Of a
truly domestic home. A girl
who is not respectful to old age;
who derides the misfortunes of
others; who is selfish and will
not forego enjoyment to see
others happy, is not the woman
you want.
The girl who is considered
the belle; who passes the round
of manageable men and re-
ceives their attention and fat
teries, has had the finer sensi-
bilities blunted. She who is
not obedient to her parents,

Lake Tahoe.

The editor of the Sacramen-
to Record, who has been doing
Californian Summer Resorts,
thus describes this magnificent
sheet of water:
standing in front of the
Tahoe House, on a summer
morning, the scene is beautiful
beyond conception. The broad
lake, placid as a mirror, stretch
es far away into the dim dis
tance, where the snow clad
mountains rise, clearly and
sharply defined against the
deep blue sky, their rough sides
scanned and Scared with a
thousand wrinkles. To right
and left a heavy growth of tim
Der covers the sides of the lofty
hills that hem in the lake, and
descends to the verge of the
water. The outlines of the
mountains are reflected upon
the calm surface of the lake
with such distinctness that the
unasSisted eye seeks in vain to
distinguish the point where the
distant shore line marks the
cessasion of shadow, and the
beginning of substance. In the
foreground a dozen boats dot
the lake, lying as quietly on it's
clear bosom as though it were
a sheet of glass, and they i'm
bedded in its crystal surface.
Scarcely a ripple on the pebbly
beach below breaks the deep
silence, and the only sounds
heard are the calls of the boat
men to each other, as they busy
themselves about their tackle
on the shore, and the occasional
hoarse croak of a dyspeptic
frog complaining of the warmth
OF the morning sun. The lake
is thirty-five miles in length.
by about fifteen in breadth.
The water is so clear that OBJ
jects on the bottom may be
seen distinctly at a depth of
from sixty to a hundred feet.
The greatest depth has never
yet been ascertained, but the
late Surveyor-General Hough-
ton, when employed in settling
the State line, took soundings
to the depth of 1,716 feet, and,
we believe, without finding
bottom at that great depth.
The lake never freezes, the wa
ter being kept constantly in
motion by numerous springs
which rise from the bottom.
But the visitor must go on the
water to realize the greatest
charms of this beautiful place,
and if he takes a trolling line
with him the pleasure of his
trip will be enhanced"
Thackery, on his first visit
to New York, was introduced
to a very fashionably dressed
young lady, the daughter of a
publisher noted for his piracy
of the works of British authors.

1t is not always the smiling
face, radiant with beauty, that
will smile on when sickness,
sorrow and misfortune enter
your little home. 1t is not the
finest form, whose every motion
is studied and graceful one,
that contains a heart the warm
est. Beautiful women, if they
have seen much company, have
discovered in some not very
mysterious way, that they are
fairer than others of the daugh-
ters of Eve. A poet has very
truthfully said:
"That thou art beautiful young lady,
Ineed not tell thee this;
For few have borne unconsciously
Their spell of loveliness."
The girl you want, young
man, to travel down the path
way of life, side by side,
hearts in unison, hopes and as
pirations one-is she who is
modest, retiring, affectionate,
unassuming, truthful, kind,
generous faithful, enduring, in
telligent, moral, forgiving and
trusting. You needawife who
has spirit to resent insult, and
industry to keep domestic life
a pleasant one for the husband.
1t matters not whether the
possessor of these has a pretty
face, foot or form-these live
on when beauty has paled by
age, sickness or unusual hours
in the ball room, novel reading
or accident. These gems form
the casket of heavens choicest
gifts, live on the breast of her
who possesses them, be the
face plain and the body not a
amodel ofsymmetry. 1t is not
the exterior alone that indicates
the worth within; and here is
where many young men wreck
the happiness Of their lives
they marry the pretty face, the
graceful form and witching.
manner, and find at last that
paradise is a long way off. All
beautiful women are not vain;
there are some noble, true and
faithful hearts that flattery can
not destroy, or vanity invade.
Above all, young man, do
not marry a bold, forward fe-
male woman who has exalted
notions of her rights, or who be-
lieves in affinities among men
and women; they will give you
a long, dreary, stormy life.

FORCE OF HABIT.-Habit is
everything. We have all
heard the story of the man who
slept above q bakers oven for
twenty years, then changed his
lodgings, but had to go back
to the oven before he could go
to sleep. A case illustrating
the same principle occurred in
Ohio. A city, man accustomed
to lodge on one of the noisiest
streets, visited a country friend.
Too much quiet destroyed his
rest at night. His friend felt
for his distress, and said he
would try and relieve it. Ac-
cordingly he went to a neigh
boris and.borrowed a bass drum
which he beat under the fell
lows bedroom window, and
his boy run a squaking wheel
barrow up and down on the
porch, while his wife played on
the piano. and his servant
pounded on the chamber door
with tongs. In this manner
the sufferer was enabled to get
two or three hours of quite re
freshing sleep, though it was
heavy on the family.
