HNDoos NOT GENTLEMEN.-A Temple
story, says the London orchestra, has been
in circulation during the past few days, which
is too good to be lost. Our readers may know
that number of young Indian gentlemen are
pursuing the study of the law within that
venerable inclosure. DR.. Vaughan invited
them to spend an evening at his house, and
provided such delicacies as he deemed likely
to be most enjoyed by them. The time fixed
for the interesting party arrived, but nobody
came When half an hour had been thus
spent in fruitless waiting, the doctors lady
rang for the maid "a fresh one, not yet quite
accustomed to all the ways of the house,
whose duty it was to open the hall door. She
entered with an air and aspect which gave
token that more than the heat of the weather
had been exciting her. "Have none of the
gentlemen arrived? p mo, please, mum, no
gentlemen has come; but lot of impudent
Christry Minstrels has been ringing at the
bell, and 1 have been driving em away,
num-.

help noticing one of the unfragile fair who
had passion for dancing with small men.
The way she drew crimson in the face, pal
pitated like a blacksmiths bellows, and
whirled her diminutive partners about the
room, as if she were trying to brush the flies
from the ceiling with their legs was curious
and ridiculous spectacle. When she finally
let them go, with generally disheveled and
detected air, indicating that they had men
tally made their wills and given themselves
up for lost, they made precipitate retreat
with bewildered look of gratitude and sal
vation in their perspiring faces. The small
man who dances with q very stout woman is
either simpleton or a hero, for he exposes
himself to satirical shafts that will pierce
through suits of Milan steel
The fat woman in the water is funnier than
she is on land. She is like the hippopotamus,
without its capacity to SWIM and furnishes
innumerable sub jects for a comic artist, if he
should ever have wit enough to sketch from
nature. 1t is rare sport to watch the corpu-
lent bathers on the beach. They go into the
sea as an elephant would undertake the
cachuca, and founder about in the sea, gasp
ing, putting, and snorting in the drollest
manner. l have seen them venture out under
masculine convoy to point where they had to
be supported, and the style in which their
heads went down and their feet up, and their
ample proportions rolled over and under in
the surf, revealing a dripping red face one
moment, and much and varied color in
globular form in another is not to be depicted
in plain prose. Porpoises struggling to ac-
complish minuet are not circumstance to
them. Old ocean himself seems to laugh at
them sometimes, for they are absurd in the
sea and ridiculous on shore But they are to
be pitied, these mountains of materialism If
they could help their feshiness 1 presume
they would. Fortunately, however, they are
not sensitive, for flesh does not go with SEN
sibility.

Rail Road investigation.

The Committee appointed by the Legislature
to investigate Railroad matters have been in
session in this city for some days. We have
never seen the resolution under which they
derive their authority for this investigation,
but are informed that it is broad and comprehen-
sive Their proceedings have not been referred
to by our neighbors ofthe Wing or Press and
Herald, probably for the reason that they sup
pose the public are not interested in the matter
We take different view of the case, however,
and look forward to their report with great in
terest. They are here ON public expense, and
upon mission ofyery deep importance to eve
ry honest man in the State. So far we I'M
derstand the feelings of the people, it is that
this investigation shall be thorough, impartial
and fearless There has been great deal said
publicly and privately about railroad corrup-
ton, and the Conservative Press have laid
much of it to our party. They have now a
Committee of their own choosing, and we of
course expect that their work will be very
thorough If there his. been corruption, gen.
tlemen of the Committee, let US know who are
the guilty parties. The people are watching
you and expect to hear from you in due time

How TO Take Life.

Take life just a. though 1t was, as it is, an
earnest, vital, essential affair. Take it just
a. though you personally we're born to the
task of performing merry part in it, as
though the world had waited for your
coming. Take it as il it was grand OPP
portunity to do and achieve; to carry for
ward great and good schemes; to help and
cheer q suffering, weary, 1t may be heart
broken brother.
The fact il, life is undervalued by great
majority of mankind. 1t is not made half
as much Of ~ should be the case. Where
is the man or woman who accomplishes
one tithe Of what might be done? Who
cannot look back upon opportunities lost,
plans unachieved, thoughts crushed, aspi-
rations unfulfllled, and all caused by the
lack Of the necessary and possible effort
III we knew better how to take and make
the most Of life, it would be far greater
than IL Is. Now and then man stands
aside from the crowd, labors earnestly,
steadfastly, confidently, and straightway
becomes famous for greatness of some sort.
The world wonders, admires, idolizes yet
1t only illustrates what each may do II he
takes hold Of life with q purpose. liza man
but says he ioiH, and follows it up, he may
expect to accomplish anything reasonable.
