hyou are q member Of that myste-
rious circle called Society" there
will be some painful evenings spent
in doing your duty, standing in a
crowd with white kid gloves on your
hands and weariness in your heart.
We call this enjoying ourselves.
You know all about it. Your shoe
pinches you, but you cannot sit
down. Your companions bore YOU,
but you must listen and smile,
and smile and listen. If you
try to move abut, you tread on thir-
teen hideous dress-trains that drag
themselves like half-dead beacon
strictors at the heels OF their fair
possessors. You eat cake end drink
coffee, though you know it viii give
you a headache In the morning.
You tell your hostess that you had
s splendid time" though you are
conscious that you are telling a lie,
for which your conscience, if you
have any, viii reproach you severely.
This Sinking and smiling, and "
ing ourselves into the belief that the
torture of a dress party is pleasure,
is civilizations greatest triumph.

ceipts of the entire establishment
are $4,000, and have been known
to reach SS7, 200. To do all this
business requires an army of en-
ployees. There is one general su-
perintendent and nineteen superin-
tendents Of departments, nine cash
iers, twenty-five book-keepers, thir-
ty ushers, fffty-fve porters, two hun

twenty clerks, of whom a small por-

ther, it is sufficient to state that,
with the extra help often required,
twenty-five hundred persons are
usually needed to discharge the du-
ties of the establishment. Such
figures were never known in the

Things We Like To See.

We like to see young ladies who
ere bitter enemies, kiss each other
very afectionately when they meet;
it reminds US of a msn named Judas
who lived several years ago! We
like to see a fashionably dressed la
dy promenading the streets wearing
blue silk dress, trailing a yard long
behind her in the mud-it cleans the
streets so nicely?-We like to see a
young man very polite and obligiDg
other young ladies, who is scarcely
civil to his sisters at home--it proves
that the lords of creation are void of
deception. We like to see little
boys come to church in the evening,
and aInuse themselves by sticking
pins in their sleepy neighbors-it
shows that they are not burying
their talents in earth! We like to
see a man invariably throw his hat
and boots in the middle of the floor,
for his tired wife to pick up-it is ev-
idence that he remembers his prom
ise to "cherish her" We like to see
the choir spend the time during di-
vine service in whispering. and tel
ling stories-it helps US appreciate
the sermon, and convinces US that
they are capable of singing "with
the spirit and the understanding al
sor' We like 10 see young ladies
keep their jaws in constant motion
endeavoring to masticate huge ball
of chewing gum-it looks so lady
like! We like to see a man sport
ing fast horses, while he owes the
printer, and gives nothing to the
preaeher-it looks so ''honoraher' -
There are other things We ike to see
but we forbear.

WOmanIy MOdesty.

Man loves the mysterious. a
cloudIess sky, the full blown rose,
leave him uninoved, but the violet
which hides its blushing beauties
behind the bush, and the moon when
she emerges from beneath a cloud,
are to him sources of inspiration
and pleasure. NIodesty is to merit
what shade is to figures in painting
it gives boldness and prominence.
Nothing adds more to female beau
tip than modesty; it sheds around
the countenance halo Of light
which is borrowed from virtue
Botanists have given to the rosy
hue which tinges the cup of the
white rose the name Of the '.maiden
blush. This pure and delicate hue
is the only paint Christian virgins
should use; it is the richest orna-
ment. A woman without modesty
is like faded flower, which diffuses
an unwholesome odor, and which
the prudent gardener viii throw
from him. Her destiny is melan-
choly, for it terminates in shame
and repentance. Beauty pas8es
like the flower of the albo,
which blooms and dies in a few
hours, but modesty gives the female
character charms which supply the
place ofsthis transitory freshness of
youth.

I shadows crept over her placid face,
but no sound issued from the pale
lips.
Janet bent her head. There was
a faint futter-no more-and she
clasped her hands. Wopld grand
ma die there before her eyes and
never speak 2 word?
She caught tbe cold hand in her
own and cried alcud--
~Grandmai speak to nc! speak
TO your little Janet! Don't you
hear me, grandmaY'
But grandma heard nothing
The chiIlness of death had settled
down, and even as she lznelf there
her breath fed and Janet Vas alone.
She understood it all when she
arose, and she sank back half faint
ing in the armchair, near the bed.
Janet, my poor darling?'
She lifted her head. Austin Bos-
worth was leaning over her.
'.My little girl. why did you not
send word to NE tonight and let me
share your sorrow?"
"You, Austin2''
"Yes, have Inot-Ah, forgive me
This is no time nor place. Imissed
you, as have always missed you,
but thought it was your own pleas
ure to remain at home. When your
father came in with a white, fright
ened face, and whispered TO DR..
Berne, 1 kncwyo we're ia trouble.
I came at once, and, jamie, I shall
not again leave you.'
She knew his meaning, and did
not put him away when he held her
close in his arms and drew her into
the parlor.
Margaret and Lettie, coming in
with their faces horror-stricken,
saw him holding her in his arms,
her tired head resting wearily npon
his shoulder, and the proud Lettie
said
',Mr. Bosworth, I am surprisedf' p
you need not be. This is my
privilege, now and forever"
Three days after they gathered in
that same parlor to hear grandma's
last will and testament read. After
some little directions, it said
"And to my beloved grand
daughter, Janet Leeds, I bequeath
the Holmes estate, together with
my entire stock of furniture and
money, amounting to ten thousand
dollars"
Janet's father smiled upon his as
tonished and crest-fallen daughters.
''It was mothers whim! She
never desired it to be known
Therefore you were ignorant of the
fact that she had dollar beyond
the annuity I held for her"
When, six months later, Austin
and Janet were married, her elder
sisters dared4o say that he married
her for her money. He knew bet
ter, and 50 did I.

are members of the Methodist
Church at Hinesburg. When was
sixteen years of age I left my hap
py home and went to visit sister
in Stowe. When [ returned I was
bound to leave home, but my pa
rents wished me to stay at home
and 60 to school. Iwould not mind
them, but went to Boston. I got
good situation, but fell into bad
company, going to a billiard hall,
and learning also the use of liquor,
which I used to excess. When in
liquor I was induced to try my hand
at 'seven up, At first I refused,
but being unchecked by home in
fuences, and exposed to all the de
sires ofmy corrupt heart, I gambled
and plunged into all sorts of wick
edness. The story of my trangres-
sions and sins would fill a large vol
ume. Finally, after one Of my
times I went to Hinesburg the 1st
of October, 1868; but, my friends,
if I had listened to my mother S
pleading voice, what a happy young
man I should have been to-day;
and oh! my friends, how many
heart-rending, earnest prayers has
my kind mother offered to the
Throne of Grace and Mercy for me.
She never upbraided me, but strove
to reclaim me by kindness, urging
me to abstain from the sins 1 was
committing daily. This was Thurs
day my mother gave this advice,
and I went from her arms with a
kiss on my lips, plunging into all
sorts of crimes and sins, and on Sat
urday of the same week I commit
ted the crime, so great that it viii

and when committed broke the heart
of my mother and hung mill-stones
to the hearts of my friends, and
robbed them of all Joy and comfort
on earth. And only think, I, Hen
ry Welcome, at the age of nineteen
years, placed in this horrible situa-
ton! Tomorrow I must suffer the
sentence of death. I think, my
friends this is a hard lot for a young
man to be sent into the presence of
his Maker on the gallows, but am
to give my life for the life have ia

saying so much TO you. Ny heart

To Marriageahla Girls.

If a man wipes his feet on the
door-mat before coming into the
house, you may be sure he will make
a good domestic husband. Ifa man,
in snuffing the candle, puts it out,
you may be sure he will make a stu
pid husband. Ifa man puts hand
kerchief on his knees while taking
tea, you may be sure he will make a
prudent husband. In the same way
always mistrust the man who will
not take the last piece Of toast but
prefers waiting for the next warm
batch it is very likely that he will
make a greedy and very selfish hus-
band, with whom you viii enjoy no
'broEFn" at dinner, no crust at tea,
no peace whatever at home. The
man my dears, who wears goloshes,
and is careful about wrapping him
self up before venturing into the
night air, not uufrequently makes a
good invalid husband, that mostly
stops at home and is easily comfort
ed with slops. The man who wat
ches the kettle and prevents it boil
ing over, viii not fail, my dears, in
his married state, to exercise the
same care in always keeping the pot
boiling. The man who does not
take tea, maltreats cats, takes snuff,
stands with his back to the fire, is q
brute whom I would not advise you
my dears, to marry for any consid-
Grafton, either for love or money;
but most decidedly not for love.
But the man who, when tea is over
is discovered to have had none, is
sure to make a good husband. My
dears, when you meet such a man,
do your utmost to marry him. in
the severest winter he would not
mind going to bed first.

The Ricbest Bow In America.

The papers are telling about a
boy in New England, now fourteen
years of age, who is supposed to be
the richest boy in the United States
because he has 3 great deal of mon
ev. To our mind the richest boy in
America is the one who is good
hearted, honest, intelligent, ambi-
tious willing to do right. He is the
one who loves his mother, and al
ways has a kind word for her; who
loves his sister and tries to help her
with true affection. He is the boy
who does not call his father "the old
man" but who loves him, speaks
kindly TO and of him, and tries to
help him as the signs of old age
gather fast upon his brow. This
boy we like, we would be glad to
see, would like to take him by the
hand and wish him success.
We are likely to hear that peace
has baen declared In Eur0na soon.
