EDUcATIoN FOR PRETTY GIRLS
Pretty girls, unless they have wise
mothers, are more educated by the
opposite sex than their own. Pu'
them where you will, there is al
wavs some man busying himself III
their instruction; and the burden OF
masculine teaching is generally
about the same, and might be ste
rco;vped as follows:
"You don't need to he or do any
thing. Your business in life is tc
look pretty, and amuse us. You
don't need to study; You know all by
nature that a woman need know
The only sense you need IS lovel!
nonsense. You are, by virtue OF
being a pretty woman, superior tt
ANYTHING we can teach you; and We
wouldn't for the world have. yor
anything but what you are. ."-H"1

How Some Good Massachusetts, Men
Undertook to Fail Md Coa41s.'..

From the Boston Traveller.
A good story is told of the two
old merchants, in Essex county, who
once attempted to fail. They were
brothers; and by honest industry
had acquired handsome indepe,,-
dence, and were spending. the eve
, ming Of their days in quiet, con-
Portable way, keeping store which,
they both diligently tended rather
for the comfort and convenience OF
having place of daily and regular
resort, than for any great profit in
their business. Well, being easy.
good-natured sort of men, they had
'just as matter OF form" put their
names to the paper of a son Of one Of
them, in business in Il neighborihg
town. Matters went on as usual
for some time after the old men had
adopted this bad habit q vndar,in.
this young mans paper. But at
! length this son and nephew discov-
cred that he could not ! ay his hon
esu debt, and SO informed his rati-
er and uncle The cd gentlemen
sat down in their leather bottom
chairs to look over tbs mattor and
decide what they should do. "Well'
said Cap A., SIT L. has failed, L
suppose we have, too, haven't we
broiher?'' "Hhy yes said Capt. L.
81 don't see but We have; and I, lsc
have failed, we must take down oar
sign, and not pretend to be doing
business in the ordinary way"
These points settled, the Old gentle
men proceeded to dismantle thcir
store # its weatl.er-stained old sign,
and then sat themselves down to
wait for creditors to come in and at
tach their goods and chattels. but
to their surprise, nobody came near
them, and they went through the
forenoon as usual. At dinner they
made their way with seriousness to
their respective homes, and as Capt.
E. reached his fine old mansion on
Il strccd, he looked cautiously
around, expecting to see sfran.e IA
ces in his apartments, bnt seeing
none, he turns to his Oldest daught-
er, and in 4 solemn voice inquiries:
"Is there nobody here but the tami
", my daughter:" "Nobody,
father" "Has there not besn
strangers here this torenoon:' NO
one. Why, did you expect any one,
father?' "Whv, YES, have failed,
my daughter; at least suppose
have: for +. has; and | expected
the sheriff here and keepers.
But no sheriff came, and no cred
itors troubled the old men. Every
body knew that they would pay ,nc.r
| honest debts. and meet all their en-
gagcments if it was III their power
so to do; and that it was useless
| and Senseiess to resort to the usual
methods of collecting deb.s ofthen..
SO in spite OF all the brothers coula
do to fail, and have their property
attached, nobody seemed inclined
to disturb them; AMI so they utterly
failed to fail, to the great amnse-
ment of their Younger ncighbors in
trade, some Of whom, though now
old themselves, continue To laugh
over Capt. E. & Cos. lttempt 20

A ROMANCE OF LIFE Tho Elective
Afhnities" of Goethe have been revived
IN real lie near Troy "A woman eloped,
some time since, with a railway con-
ductor, each leaving connubial partner

serted husband fell heir to fortune OF

his good luck, returned to aid him in It's
enjoyment. He would not have her, and
obtained divorce. About the same
time, the wife OF the conductor obtained
a divorce from her recreant lord, and the
common suffering of the deserted couple
brought them into sympathy, wedlook,

The elopers have also obtained divorces,
