Bertha Davis, of Rochester,
writes to declare that American wo-
men as a rule, don't know how to
wriggle their behind bunch with
grace. She made further fault as
follows:
"Your parasOl, my dear, what are
doing with it? The sun is directly
in your back, and you are holding
that dainty article at angle of forty
five degrees over your nose. Bless
me, what a figure you cut-a per-
feet leaning tower, with an erup-
ton on the back. If you could on
" see yourself, my dear; but then
YOU can't, so there's no use in talk
ing; youll always persist in carry
ing your parasol in that ungraceful
way, making yourself look ridicu-
lOus. Now, here comes a woman
who walks, not waddles; just watch
her; there's no jerking or twisting,
but a smooth, billo ~y motion; she
puts her foot down firmly, squarely,
taking a step twice the length of
yours, which to her full drapery
gives an unculating motion, re-

waves on the moonlit sea-a woman
among a thousand, who, though
plain featured, would attract atten-
tion anywhere by her graceful car
riagc, her 1.-THE, billOwy form, Civ
ing to her that air of qHeenliless
you are at loss to explain in one
who has no pretentions to beauty.
She holds her parasOl in such a
way that it seems really part of
herself; it is neither jerked on one
side nor pitched over her face, nor
is she nervOusly jabbing every pass
erby with it; she holds it firmly.
That woman doesn't make an aWk-
ward appearance with her parasOl
coming up the street, as does my
modern bell, just in advance of her;
yet, my dear, you are gotten up in
faultless style-a perfect marvel of
dress-makers' art; and catching a
glimpse of yonr fair form in the
plate-glass windows, you smile COM
placently, thinking you are doing
the dip superbly, when, if you did
but know it, you are Outragins
every sense Of beauty and every line
of motion, making angles where
there should be curves, sharp, jerky
movements that set your drapery in
a fiutter, giving you the appearance
of a ruffied hen, where there should
be only a ripple of motion"

Keep out of Debt.

Half the Perplexity, ANNOYANCE and
trouble that men have in this world
Is IN consequence OF getting In debt.
IL seems TO be natural for some DeO-
pie to buy and incur obligations
without measure, so long as they
can avoid paving the ready cash.
Give one ofthis sort chance to buv
on credit, and the questions of pay
ments are matters that he cares but
little about. But what a crop OF
trouble springs up from the seed OF
dept. How many gray hairs il
brings, and how often il shortens
life; sometimes leading men TO COM
init suicide or murder. And vet
how easy il is to keep clear or this
terrible monster. Every Young
man should form a fixed and uBal-
terable determination, before com
mencing his active business career.
not TO incur one penny Of indebted
ness, under any circumstances
Never buy anything unless you have
the money 20 pay for it at once
Pay no attention TO splendid op-
portunities, ''rare chances, - bar
gains" and the like. Such are only
traps set 70 catch victims. II you
see anything vOu would ike TO ex-
cept, look first 40 your money pile.
and make the answer depend upon
that. Always pay as YOU go. If
you are short OF money, guage your
demands accordingly.

POIiteness.

The practice of politeness, like
that of every other virtue, is its own
reward. Ii, by word Of kindness,
or simple act OF benevolenee, you
can bring the smile Of Joy TO the face
that is worn with care or shaded BY
sorrow, YOU have not Ouly done
good to others, but the reflex infu-
ence OF your act will open a new
fountain of happiness in your own
heart. A whole life spent in t&kiag
careful necu of the rights and feel
ings of others-wnich means polite
noss-and always carrying smiles in
stead of frOwns into the daily inter-
course with society, will stamp the
living virtues IN the face, and make
even an ugly man handsome. Right
here is TO be found the first, and at
the same time, the cheapest eosmet-
ic that was ever used to restore or
perpetuate the lines of female beau
ty. If young ladies would come TO
understand how they can mar their
beauty, not for an hour or a day,
but for lifetime, by superciliOus
manners, fits Of pouting, anger, or
thOughtless, unfeeling, or selfish
words or acts toward their assO-
ciates, there would be many more
beautiful women than there are at
present. If they could be convinced
how many fresh touches of spiritu-
al beauty would be added to their
charms by the constant use of this
cheap cosmetic-which is warranted
not TO wash off-hOw very few real
~ ugly women there would be in
the wOrld.-Er.

The word Of GOD.

He would win victories for Christ
must have the "sword OF Spirit,
which il the Word of God" Es-
pecially is this the case with those
who labor in foreign lands. The
churches, then, need TO contribute
the means, not only for the equip
ment and support OF the missionary,
but also TO furnish him with the
Scriptures in the language of the
people among whom he labors.
Said Mr.. Thomas, as he longed for
the completion of the translation Of
the Bible, upon which his co-labOr-
er, Mr.. Carey, was engaged, 81
would give a million pounds strel-
ing, IL had IL, to see a Bengalee
Bible. o, most merciful God, what
an inestimable blessing will IL be to
these millions The angels of heav-
en- will look down upon il TO ill
their mouths with new praises and
alteration. Mothinks all heaven and
hell will be moved at a Bibles eu-
tering such a country as this. q
Lord, send forth thy light and
truth"
This was the missionary's esti-
mate Of the value of Gods Word TO
the heather, who, in his blindness,
knows not the true God. Who will
say that the estimate is an extravs-
CANT one?
A teacher OF the Scriptures in Ja-
pan says, at is a great pleasure to
be able TO teach those who listen TO
the gospel with an earnestncss
which is almost enthusiastic, and
who catch at every new thought Of
divine truth with the zeal Of those
who feel that they are laying hold
upon eternal life"
Says the Psalmist, "Thy word il
n lamp unto my feet, and guide
unto my path" And thus will
Gods word be 10 the benighted
heather. Ind now,
"Shsil we. whose souls are lighted
With wisdom trem on high;
Shall we. 10 souls benighted,
Inc lamp Of life deny"

An Awkward Compliment.

The Empress Marie Louise hal
never been popular in Paris, as Jose
phine was to the last, nor had she
the fine instincts which so especially
distinguished the first consort of
Napoleon, who was, indeed, his bet
ter angel. For example: one day
Napoleon, having been provoked by
her father, the Emperor of Austria,
declared Marie Louise that he was
"'an old gdHdche" (blOckhead). Her
majesty asked one OF her ladies-in-
waiting-as she said the emperor
had called her father by that name
the meaning of the word gGUGche,
and the lady, not knowing what to
say in reference 10 the empress's
own father, answered that it meant
ga venerable old man." Marie
Louise believed this; and afterw ard,
when Cambaceres came TO pay his
respects to her, she, wishing TO be
complimentary to him, said, "Sir l

The LouisviIIe HOG Market.

The Courier-J Ournal of Monday
says of the hog market:
The extreme range OF prices paid
by packers has been uniform at S4(G
81 40, but the average price varied
somewhat, principally on account
OF differences in the average daily
offerings. The bulk Of sales have
been at about Si,25Cd4,S 50 for choice,
and as high as 81 40 for extra heavy
Some lots OF the latter class were
held at 81, 80, but we heard Of no
sales. Common and fair stuff has
gone at $4(G4,15. At the close OF
the week there is 10 substantial
concession TO report, though some
profess to see indications OF an cas-
Ing down in prices, a conclusion
which the consumption OF nearly
the entire receipts at steady prices
would seem to refute.

Good Advice.

Pay your debts as soon as you get
the money in your pocket. Do
without what you don't need
Speak your mind when necessary
Hold your tongue when prudent
Speak to a friend in q seedy coat
II YOU can't lend a friend money,
tell him why? if you don't want
to, do the same. Cut acquaintances
who lack principle. Bear with in
firmities, but not vices. Respect
honesty, despise duplicity. Wear
your old clothes till you can pay for
new ones. Aim at comfort and pro-
priety, not fashion. Acknowledge
your ignorance, and don't pretend
knowledge you haven't got. Enter
tain your friend~. but never beyond
your meaus.

so large, 50 pure and womanly F!
When you see il you wonder If
those snowy things outside were
really women. II you gain her love
your two thousand are q million.
She'll not ask you for a carriage or
q tirSt-class house. She'll wear sim
pie dresses, and turn them when
necessary, with no vulgar md0nf-
Jtc0t to frOwn upon her economy.
She'll keep everything neat and nice
In your sky parlor, and give YOU
such a welcome when YOU come
home that you'll think your parlor
higher than ever. She'll entertain
true friends on dollar, and aston
ish you with the new thought how
very little happiness depends on
money. She'll make you love home,
Gf you don't you're brute,) and
teach you how to pity, while YOU
scorn, a poor fashionable society
that thinks itself rich, and vainlv
tries to think itself happy.
Now do not, pray YOU, saw any
more, II can't afford TO marry"
Go find the true woman, and YOU
can. Throw away that cigar. burn
up that switch cane, be sensible
yourself, and seek your wife in

wonIdn,t reII Lie.

Two boys were in a school-room
alone together, when some fire.
works, contrary to the masters pro-
hibition, exploded. The one boy
denied it, the other, Bonnie Chris
tie, would neither admit or deny il,
and was severely fiogged for his OBJ
stinacy. When the boys got alone
again
"Why didn't you deny it?" asked
the real delinquent.
Because there were only we two,
and one of US must have lied" said
Bonnie.
"Then why not say that did lt?''
because you said you didn't, and
| would share the lie"
The BOYS heart melted, Bonnie's 5
moral gallantry subdued him.
When school resumed, the young
rogue marched up to the master's 5
desk snd said:
"Please, sir, can't bear to be a
liar-I let OF the sguibs," aud burst
into tears.

1t j. a weIl-kEown fact in surgery,
that when air gets into the tissues
in consequence of = perforation of a
lung by a punctured rib, it does not
excite putrefaction OF suppuration,

expelled from the lungs by a forced
expiration contains no floating par

these facts afford a complete demon

Best rlnle for Painting Houses.

The best time for painting the ex-
terror of buildings is late in Au-
tumn or during the Winter. Paint
then applied will endure twice as
long as when applied in carly Sum-
mer or hot weather. In the former
it dries slowly and becomes hard,
like a glazed surface, not easily af-
fected by the weather, or worn off
by the beating Of the storms. But
in very hot weather the oil in the
paint soaks into the wood at once,
as into 4 sponge, leaving the lead
nearly dry and nearly ready TO
crumble of. This last difficulty,
however, might in a measure be
guarded against, though at an in
creased expense, by first going over
the surface with raw oil. By paint
ing in cold weather one annoyance
might certainly be escaped, namely,
the collection of small flies on the
fresh paint.

DEATH.-Death is the antagonist

tomb is the skeleton of all feasts.-
We do not want to 60 through the
dark valley, although its dark pas
sages may lead to paradise; we do
not want to lay down in the damp
grave, even with princes as bed-fel-
lows. In the beautiful drama OF
Ion, the hope of Immortality, so ell
egantly uttered by the death-devo-
ted Greek, finds deep repose in eve-
~ thoughtful soul. When about
to yield his young existence as a
sacrifice to fate, his Clemantha asks
If they should meet again, TO which
he replies: 81 have asked that dread
ful question of the hills that look
eterRal-of the clear streams that
flow forever-of the stars among
whose fields of azure my raised spir-
it has walked in glory. All were
dumb; but as l gazed upon thy liv-
ing face, feel that there is some
thing in the love that mantles thro'
its beauty that cannot wholly per-
ish. We shall meet again, Cleman-
tha."
