PRESENCE OF MIND.

Presence of mind is the popular term
to express mental equilibrium. The
question has been frequently discussed in
social circles, whether men or women are
most prone TO lose their presence OF mind.
Lucy, just seventeen, says: Oh, men, 10
be sure. Why, selt-possession is an al
tribute almost peculiar to women; Il
young girl entering society is quite at her
ease, while young man is sure to be
awkward and nervous. Sec how we get
out of q scrapc; never at loss for an
answer. A man would stulter and NUT
ter, and get deeper into the nire."
"Ycs, but" says Tom, who just home
from school, and not much troubled with
nerves-'.jus, look at you girls how you
scream; if your life depended on silence
you'd betray yourselves by a scream
Then the ladies reply: ooh, VIC don't
pretend to be rs brave rs men," And SO
the question remains unsettled. Lucy,
no doubt. is correct, nor is Tom less so.
Perhaps the 9airest arrangement would
be TO grant the weaker sex pre-. eminonee
in the absence of physical danger; and
vet, on the other hand, instances of calm
thought and deliberate action Of woman
under trying circumstances arc SO

Effect of Occupation on Health.

Il has oitcntimes been asserted that
those exposed to severe labor in the open
atmosphere, were the least subject TO sick
ness This has been proven iallacy.
OF persons engaged At heavy labor in out
door exposure, the percentage OF SICK
ness in the year is 2S.05. OF those en-
gagged at heavy labor indoors, such a'
blacksmithS, etc, the percentage OF sick
ness is 2G .54-not much TO be sure but
of those engaged at light occupations in
doors and out. tn percentage OF sickness
is only 20 S0--2l58. For every three
cases of sickness in those engaged IN
light labor, there are four cases among
whose lot is heavy labor. The mortality
however, is greater among those engaS-
ed in light toll, and indoor labor Is less
favorable to longevity, than laborlng IN
the open atmosphere. 1t is established
Clearly that the quanium OF sickness an
nually falling TO the lot oi man Is IN di-
rect proportion 10 demands on MS hiuscu'
lar power.
How true this makes the assertion,-
Every inventor who abridecs labor'anu
relieves man, from the drudgcry OF severe
toll, is bcnefactor OF his race" There
were many who Iookedupo labor saving
machines as great evils, because they
supplanted the hand toll of many opera
,ives. We have helped to cure the labor
ing and toiling classes OF such absurd no.
tions. A more enlightened spirit is now
abroad, for all experience proves that Ia

NUMBER "a.

and murderer had lett no trace by which
he could be captured. and in spite OF the
most diligent search escaped. Three
years after Caroline was engaged in
similar capacity by a lady who took her
TO Paris. She had almost forgotten the
murder, and, if she thought of it, twas
not with any hope of discovering the
criminal.
1t happenen that she was walking in
one Of the public promcnades one after
noon, when, us she passed group of
men, she heard these words:
There's n leg for stocking, and
there's foot for shoe" In moment
the events Of the evening before her mis-
tress was murdered, flashed on her men,
ory. And now for her marvellous pres
ence of mind, pretending not to have
hea anything, she glanced sideways at
the group of men. She saw there were
three, but she could not tell which of
them had spoken. She walked slowly
past them, then she stopped in an un-
decided manner, and finally turned back.
and, walking up to them, she asked 20 be
directed to certain street. AS she eN-
pccted, all Of them had word for her,
and amongst the voices she easily recog.
nizcd the one that had just spoken
Their language and looks were both very
free, but she only told them that they
were very impcrtincnt, and that sho
wuold get the information she wanted
| from the first gendarme. She thus avert
ed suspicion il'they watched her speaking
TO policeman. The next difficulty was
how to inform n gendame what she
wanted: she had been only fortnight in
France, and knew scarcely word OF
French. She, however, carried pocket
dictionary with her to assist her in max
ing purchases, and as means OF acquir-
ing little French. Going over 10
bench, she sat down, and, searching thro'
the dictionary, found the words she want
ed. and she then wrote them with PEN
ell in The fly leaf Of the dictionary. The
words ran thus: GendayDle, je drotr be-
soia ,.0as arreter a1t meurtTter. The
grammar was not very corrcct,a as dictlon-
aries do not teach syntax. but the gen
darme understood il, and in another min
ute held the murderer in his grasp. lie
was afterwards convicted. and hung on
the girls testimony.
In this example we observe kind OF
presence of mind not usual in the female
sex. First, there was the natural impulse
to express astonishment, subdued the mo-
ment il was lclt. and then the rapid con-
cen,ration of thought in conceiving
stratagcm. In such q case IS that oil

SpEcIALrIEs IN BUSINESS. Withpatience,
success in the retail business devoted to
a single article is almost certain in large
city. Thus, let man sell nothing but
dolls heads, keeping his prices well
down, and although, perhaps, for long
while unnoticed. and strongly tempted 10
expand his business into toy shop or q
variety store, if persistent in the one idea'
he will eventually attract an exclusive
trade. and draw customers for dolls heads
from distant quarters; for it is like the
observation of buyers and sellers that the
best place to buy an article is that where
only that article is dealt in. But II the
dealer in the case supposed were to in-
clude the bodies, the garments and inc
iurnilure of dolls, he might procure

THO WOMEN.

Kate sat folding her yellow hair,
Where the summer winds swept by,
While Blanche tossed out her cbOn locks,
With many n blush and Sigh.
For both were fair, and the world was wide,
Where they sought TO reap and win
4 harvest ofjoys, with golden sheaves,
With many heart within.
Kate, like queen, would conquer and reign,
With \ Kingdom of men at her feet,
But Blanche, like lily, would bend and sway
Where the waters flove should meet
And each had the wish her thought had made;
But their paths were wide apart,
For one ruled a host OF fools at her beck,
And the other rulod only-a telrt.
And time the toiler, when feeting by,
Found Blanche as bright and fair
As in the days ofthe summer winds
That waved kate's yellow hair.
Bu, the yellow hair was thin and gray,
And the heart OF Kate grown Old;
For the hearts of women must love or die,
And they never thrive on gold.

FreedmensBuying Lands

FreedmenaBuying Lands.
We receiye Information from |
nearly all of the parishes west OF
the Ouachita that. the freedmen
have purchased, or are purchasing
lands, and propose to start farms
of their own. The low price OF
lands, combined with the hand
some profits realized upon laso
years labor, makes the purchase
of homes an easy matter for the
freedmen. But, whether it VIII
prove profitable to them is a dill
facant. nuestion and one not so
easily disposed of f;lvorably, as
they will find when they under
take farming at the present high
rate of taxes, high prices for meat
stock, implements, &c. Very few
of them, probably, have counted
/ the cost Of stocking, fitting out
and keeping up even small NIL
place; and the result will be that
lin a short time they will be forced
to subsist. upon scanta fare and
stint their crops, or adopt the
plan of living from hand to mouth,
l or quietly submit to the seizure
land sale Of their lands, to go back
themselves to the position OF hired
!, 1,horers. but less efficient than
they ever were. -
i The result of this action on the
part of the freedmen will affect
, disastrously the material resources
