BEST SOCIETY.

Nothing is worse than good society
except the "best society" This self
constituted social freemasonry is the
supernal essence of selfshness, the idola-
try of ones conceit of ones self fol-
which tlc,c is a furnace hotter thar
Nebuchadnezzar's kept burning in the
other world. VIII you believe there are
people at Newport who would think it no
credit to entertain General Sheridan,
though he is the camp guest of King,
and who verify would go back on the
King, because he was not born in Bos-
ton Folks there are, under whose
finger nails dirt will grow, in whose cof-
fee cups grounds will settle, and on whose
collins the worms have their eyes, who
have come to the conclusion that their
set is full So am told. The report Of
this sort of character is not inviting, and
have not gagged it. There is a book
by N. P. Willis, who threw his life away
among the chest society,"" called Faul
Fame, relating the adventures of an ar
fist who made it the point of his life to
conquer "fuIf" set like this, and he
was only able to do it by making a young
woman of that set "slop over" She
crept into his room when she thought
he was asleep and kissed him. Then
she went and married man in the "full
set true to the last 1t was so affect
ing story that | ordered tripe and on
ions that day for dinner to assure my
self that | was in no danger of joining
"a full set" 1t is not probable that any
town but Boston could raise up "first
society" of this kinda dogmatic circle
of respectable automatons upon whom
talent, wealth, courage, nor good nature
can make any impression. How will
the world ever be cured of its propensity
to be an ass TO think Shakespeare
wrote, and Luther preached, and the
Pharisee prayed in the temple. and
Balaam's animal took the text, and
Bonaparte arose, and Horace Greeley

DUTIES OF A MOTHER.

She should be firm gentle, kind, al
ways ready to attend to her child.
She should never laugh at him. al
what he does that is cunning, never al
low him to think of his looks, except to
be neat and clean in all his habits.
She should teach him to obey look,
to respect those older than hin.self.--
She should never make q command
without seeing that it is performed in
the right manner.
Never speak ola child's faults or fol-
bles, or lemarks before him; it is a sure
way to spoil child.
Never rcprovc child while excited,
nor let your voice be raised when cor
recting him. Strive to inspire love, not
dread; respect, not fear. Remember
you are training and educating a soul
for eternity.
Teach your child to wait upon himself,
to put away a thing when done with it.
But do not forget that you we're once a
child. The griefs of little ones are too
often neglected; they are great for
them. Bear patiently with them, and
never in any way rouse their anger, if it
can be avoided.
Teach child TO be useful whenever
opportunity may offer.

A CHILD's TRAINING-In one word,
there is nothing but competent lnstruc-
ton in early life which will give every
child the opportunity ofmaking the most
of himself Therefore, let the inquisi-
tive mind of child be properly instruct
ed and established in physical, intellec-
tnal and moral truth; let him thus UNI
derstand himself, what he is, why he is
here. where he is going, and it is not hui
man nature to deny that that youth will
be better able to begin life's duties. TO
meet its trials, to enjoy its sweets, and
to bear its ills, than children who are de-
MED these natural and friendly helps.

LIFE A DREAM.

If we dreamed every night the same
thing, it would affect us as much as
the objects that we see every day; and
if an artisan were sure of dreaming
every night during twelve hours. that he
is king, believe he would be almost as
happy as king who should dream
every night, during twelve hours that
he is an artisan. If we dreamed every
night that we were pursued by enemies,
and were agitated by painful fancies
and were our days passed in differen
occupation, as on a journey we should
suffer almost as much as if this was true
and we should apprchend sleep as w
fear to enter upon such misfortuncs ir
reality. And, in fact. it would produce
nearly the same ills as the reality. But
inasmuch as dreams are different, and
the same dream is varied, what wo SEE
in them affects us less than what we see
waking. on account Of the continuity,
which, nevertheless, is not so continuous
and equal that it does not also change,
but less abruptly, except rarely, as when
we are jonrneying, and then one says, ii
seems to me | am dreaming, for life is q
somewhat less incoustant drcam.-PaS

ENGLISH PERSEVERANCE Criminals
in England seldom escape discovery and
punishment No sooner is crime COM
mit,ed than the officers of the law are
placed upon the track oe the offender,
and though years may elapsc in the end
they almost invariably secure theic
game. Seven years ago London Bank;
was robbed of eleven thousand pounds
by a fellow named Jones, and so well
had lie laid his plans that he made good
his escape with his booty. But the POI
lice Of London never forgot his crime
the robbers family was placed under
surveillance, and when, trusting that
time had effaccd the recollection Of the
robbery from the public mind, they ven-'
tared, two weeks since, to sail to Cana
da to meet the guilty husband and faith
er from rhom they had been so long sep
arated, the sleuth hounds of Justice ae-
compani3d them. On Thursday there
was happy family meeting in Toronto
tho sorrows of seven years separation
were swept away in the blissful reunion
when the tender scene was rudely in-
terrupted by several unpoetical police
men, who took the crastfallen. Jones into
custody to answer for his apparently
forgotten crime. a3siAf 3A

ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

One of our exchanges says: ''Don't
marry dimples, nor nose, nor ankles, nor
eyes, nor mouths, nor necks, nor chins,
nor shippers, nor other things. Those
bits and scraps of fcmininity are mighty
poor things to tie to. Marry the pure,
true thing. Look after congcniality,
kindred sympathies, disposition dluca-
ton, and il they be joined with social
position, don't let them stand in your
way. Get woman-not one of those
parIor lay fgures-not one of those par
lOr automatons that sit down just so,
thump piano and dote on whlsker.-
Living statues are poor things to call IN
to consultation. Tbs poor little miss
that can scarcely fathom the DEPTH Of u
dress trimming, can't be helpmatc Of
any account. Don't throw away your
time upon such triHing creatures"

A VIVID WAR PICTURE.

/ n correspondent Oh tue arts JVuTu1s
has the following: SAT Givonne saw
a vast trench more than half mile long,
and six feet deep. In it French and
Prussians lay side by side; no longer
enemies, but brave men united in death.
On a mound of earth was General and
an aid-de-camp, | approached; and
found that it was DeFailIy. He was an
incapable officer; but he died, like a
soldier. The grape shot had torn open
his breast to show that he had heart.
Fragments of shell had fractured his
left shoulder, entered the abdomen, shat
tered the thighs and plowed into the
forehead. lie was so disfgured that,
had | not been told that it was he, |
should never have recognized him. His
aid de- camp quite a young man, had re-
ceived bullet through the head.
The interest of the following story is
enhanced by the fact that it occurs in
the last letter written by Colonel Penn
berton, the military journalist, whose
death is reported:
'Soon we came upon the 'Kranken-
TRACER carrying back their CHASTITY loads;
and each of the various little wasps Of
blue, which were coilcd up in every de-
scribable shape and form, represented
what a few minutes previously had been
one Gods of creatures, but which was

Schlacht dcs l6. One poor boy struck
me; he was about seventeen, and what
is called 'Fahnrich' before they get
their commission as lieutenant, which is
his grade in the military profession. He
was lying with his sword in his right
hand, pointing toward tho enemy, hav-
ing fallen on his right side, and mast
have died instantly, as the left hand
grasping his side told too plainly where
the fatal bullet had struck him. He
had his gloves on, which first had at
tracted my attention, and his face, which
was turned upward, betrayed none of
the emotion that it must have exhibited
as the bullet struck him, for he looked
wrapped in the sweetest slunber. II

thoroughly appreciate that admirable

positions in the field which had pre-
viously imagined overdone on his can
vass. was during part of the action
near some hussars who were in reserve.
The sun was pouring its rays upon US,
and around us on every side lay the
wounded. One poor fellow cried to them
for water! 'Comradc, for Gods sake
give me water, one little drop, | an on
fire am on fire ! for Gods sake give
me but one drop; only wet my lips?
and another near him could only hold his
hands up in prayer and point to his lips.
A good natured hussar, touched by the
appeal, get off his horse and ran to them
with his water bottle he was in the act
of raising the mans head when a shell
fell within a yard, and bursting blew
the whole three to atoms.
Whatever that poor hussar's faults in
this world may have been, surely his
last kind action must atone for them in
some way. The regiment moved off
and his horse followed in the ranks"

MARSHAL MCMAHON.

The following picture of Mcmahon is
drawn by correspondent of the Moni-
tear writing from Nancy: "On Sunday,
Aug. 7, special train brought to Nancy
part of the wounded of the day before.
They were accompanied by Marshal Nc
Mahon, who came in haste to seek for
provisions for his corps d'armee; his SOL
diers had not eaten anything for twenty
four hours. The Marshal went on foot
to the Cafe Boillot, the usual rendezvous
of officers; he was scarcely to be recog-
nized, being covered with thick mud from
head to foot, his hands being quite black;
shot had carried off one of his epau-
lettes; the skirts of his tunic were drilled
through with balls; only half of his tele-
scope remained, the other having been
struck by bullet; he wore high, loose
boots, with enormous spurs; all persons
took off their hats as he PASSED; his
physiognomy expressed the most violent
excitement. On arriving at the cafe he
hastily ordered some cold meat, having
been himself fasting for day and a
night, and while eating he wrote letter
in few lines. He was then Joined by
an officer, Gen. de Fsilly; they shut them
selves up in an adjoining room, and after
a short conference the Marshal returned
to the station to regain the troops with
his provisions. A person of Nancy asked
him for news of a regiment of cuirassiers.
