Saerodness Of Tear1.

There is q sacredness in tears.
They are not the mark Of weakness,
bat Of power. They speak more
eaoquentlys than ten thousand
tongues. They are the messengers
of overwhelming grief, Of deep con-
triton and Of unspeakable love.
Oh, speak not harshly Of the stricken
one-weeping in silence Break not
the deep solemnity by rude laughter
or intrusive footsteps. Scot not, Il
the stern heart of manhood IL
sometimes melted BY sympathy;
they are what help to elevate him
above the brute. We love to SEQ
tears Of affection. They are pain
full tokens, but still most holy.
Whatever meg, in their shot-sghted
philosophy, may say to the contra
~, sorrow is one Of the chief puri-
.fers Of the human heart. All the.
other emotions draw us closer to the
objects Of this world. Love, JOY,
envy, revenge by turns away. the
heart Of man, and bind him with
golden cords Of affection, or with
iron bands Of malice % the objsots'

GIRLS OF THE PERIoD.-A French la
dy writes thus OF the girls of the period
81 was at a reunion the other evening,
where | saw young American girl, not
more than sixteen years old, who had
just arrived in Paris. She had come all
the way from San Francisco, accompanied
only by brother two years younger than
herself, and seemed quite incapable of
understanding the astonishment OF tho
ladies who questioned her regarding her
journey.
What you travelled six thousand
miles alone with your little brother p
Yes, madam
And were you not afraid 2
Afraid Of what p
And there was that in her manner that
showed she was already quite capable OF
taking care of herself.
Where is the Parisienne who would
venture to go from Paris to st. Cloud
alone
Englishwomen have the same temper
ament and the same education as the
American. 1t is not rare to see English
girls who have been alone to the Indies
and back. | once met in England Il
young girl, who, when | asked her what
she went to the Indies for, replied, with
the greatest n0iUete:
Il went TO find a husband, and did not
succeed
These young girls are much better armed
against danger from lbertines than are
ours. While still quite young, they arc
taught TO protect themselves. British
manners allow young girls to have re-
course to a thousand little insinuating
WAYS to win hus band but they know
full well that, to attain their ends, they
must make themselves respected which
they find it easy TO do by continuing their
innocent rOHeries within the limits pre-
scribed by true feminine modesty.
But once married, good-by to stolen
glances, to gentle but expressive pressures
Of the hand, and all the rest. All their
arrows are Immediately quivered, never
again to be withdrawn {; the ilirt of yester-
day is to- day a staid matron. Her period
of romance is passed. She immures her
self within her own interior, rs in a fort
ress, Just at the time when Frenehwomen
begin to throw off restraint, and to feel
that they are their own mistresses. In
England, coquetry eeases at the time
when it begins in France. which accounts
for its being donble the age on one side
of the Channel that it is on the other. -

armed, they strobe forth spiritedly to
bring in their horses, which had grown
fat and vigorous upon the bountiful past
ure.
"The cabin stood near the stream, in
the edege of the wood, and when they
had approached to within forty yards of
it, suddenly a score of rifles crashed upon
them from the bank, followed by the ter
rible war-cry of the Shastas.
"Henry, who it happened was in front
of James, leading two of the horses, sank
with deadly groan, his horses rearing
and falling at the same time. The In
dams burst from their cover and sprang
forward with all the echoes of pandemo-
mum. James emptied his rifle with fa-
tai aim among them, and drew his re-
volver. The Indians knew the kind of
music they had to face, and, having neg
lected to reload, dashed back to the cover
of the bank. The resolute miner saw his
salvation in this movement, and, hastily
tossing noose-halter over the head of
the only horse that remained uninjured,
leaped upon his back, and was out of
immediate danger in an instant-career-
ing down the valley with the scsttering
shots of the enemy singing over his head.
The war-party being atoot, he was not
followed, and finally reached the from
tier settlements, after journey Of in
credible hardship.
"As the Indian war continued without
abatement, he took passage for San Fran
cisco, in order to obtain medical advice
in regard to his health, which exposure
and privation had badly broken. Then
it was that he began the correspondence
with me. l was in Chicago at the time.
'sUnexpectedly receiving news of his
death, in the Fall of 1859, FASTENED to
San Francisco, and received from the
hands of the landlord little bundle OF
papers, among which found this. Read
