A Middle Sized Boys Composition
on Girls.

Girls are the most unaccountable
things in the world-except women
Like the wicked flea, when you have
them they amt there. l can cipher
clear over to improper fractions, and
the teacher says l do it firstrate but
| can't cipher out a girl, proper or
improper, and you can't either. The
only rule in arithmetic that hits their
case is the double rule of two. They
are as full Of Old Nick as their skins
can hold, and they would die if they
couldn't torment somebody. When
they try to be mean they are as mean
as pussley, though they amt as mean
as they let on, except sometimes, and
then they are a good deal meaner.
the only way to get along with a girl
when she comes at you with her non
sense is 10 give her tit for tat, and that
will fummux her, and when you get
her hummuxed she is as nice as pin.
A girl can SOW more wild oats in a
day than a boy can in year, but girls
get their wild oats sowed after while,
which boys never do, and then they
settle down as calm and placid as a
mud puddle. But l like girls first
rate, and guess the boys all do. ]
don't care how many tricks they play
on me-and they don't care either.
The hoity-toities girls in the world
can't always boil over like glass Of
soda. BY and by they will get into
the traces with somebody they like
and pull as steady as an old stage
horse. So let them wave, / say; they
will pay for it some day, sewing on
buttons and trying to make a decent
man of the fellow they have spliced OF
to, and ten chances to one if they
don't get the worst Of it.

powerful and vigorously gro wing State,

obtained entertainment for a man and

come home at last, and filled with
deathless remorse, go daily to the
sweet cemetery and strew flowers on
her grave, and teach his children to
lisp her name. Not at all. That is
the way Mrs. +. ID. E. N. Southworth
would have done it, but she wasn't
round. Bill was a butcher who wore
white shirt and a shiny hat, and he
stayed at home and killed beef and
sold it at big price, and stuck to
Mary, and she kept healthy and wasn't
much on the pine, or the fade, while
if any fellows got to lurking around,
William went right out and batted
them in the eye, he did.
And then, at last, when all was over,
Mary didn't sit in the room while they
dressed her in white, and mixed
orange blossoms in her waterfall, and
then go gently down stairs with six
bridesmaids at her heels, ard stand
up with her William, and weep gently
while she was being married by the
minister, and then get lost ofpresents
and then go to her new house and live
through all the happy years with Billy
and never know sorrow or trouble any
more. Why of course, she didn't fol
it wasn't her style, you see.
She just rushed up stairs and put on
her pink muslin and her SUP bonnet
and had nary bridesmaid, and went tc
the magistrates and never wept a
particle, and got no presents but fif
teen cents from the old man to pay hel
car fare home, and when she got tc
the magistrates she just rose off the
bench and told Bill she didn't sec
much use in splicing, and that she
didn't like him; any how; and so she
went home, and Bill he went with her
and told her he wasn't sorry, as he
didn't want her and he guessed she
was hard on her clothes, any how, anG
so they never got married, and the
whole thing turned out wrong; but
couldn't help it, for l amt going tC

it amt bit like any novel that

something strange about this fellow
and Mollie that / never could find out

During the New York draft riot of
1868, a howitzer, trebly shotted, was
planted on the Tribune stairway, and
men stationed beside it, ready to fire
it off upon the first attempt of the mob
to storm the building. What a for
tunate thing that the attempt was not
made 1t is fearful to contemplate
what large number of Greeley votes
might have gone down before that
howitzer
"How do you like the looks of the
varmint ?" asked an Arkansas fellow
of a down. easter, who was gazing with
distended eyes at an alligator, which
was lying with open jaws on the banks
of the Mississippi. "Wa'al," respond
ed the Yankee, recovering his mental
equipoise, she amt what we'd call a
handsome critter, but he has deal of
opennesss when he smiles"
An excellent old deacon, who hav-
ing won an old turkey at a charity
rattle, did not like to tell his severe
orthodox wife how he came by il.
quietly remarked as he handed her
the fowl, that the Shakers gave it to
him.
The difference in nature was well
illustrated at the depot this morning.
Two sisters met. 80, my dear sister"
said one, exhausted, as they embraced.
"You've been eating onions" said the
other, calmly and fearlessly.

Professor PRATTs method of tam
ing horses is not so popular at Spring
Mill as it was. Mr. Fisher of that
place took lessons from the professor /;
and having perceived how, with a
piece of rope, he subdued the widest
animals, and even opened umbrellas
suddenly in their faces without soaring
them, Mr.. Fisher felt certain that he
could tame the most fiery steed in
Montgomery Co. There was canal
boat man il Spring Mill who owned
an implacable mule, and Fisher felt
that it was his destiny to conquer that
mule or perish. They led the mule
out upon the towpath one morning,
and Fisher followed with a bit Of
clothesline and an umbrella. He tied
the mules leg with the rope, as Pro-
fessor Pratt had done, and threw it
down three or four times until he
thought it was time. Then tying the
rope around his own waist, while the
other end of the cord held the leg of
the mule, he asked the crowd to watch
how that submissive animal would not
finch when the umbrella was opened
suddenly in its face. Fisher then flung
the umbrella open. Only a moment
or two later a certain subdued mule
might have been observed to plunge
wildly from the towpath into the river
and to swim down stream at the rate
Of nine knots ar hour, while a misan-
thropic and humilitated victim of
Prof. Pratt's method with animals
towed behind, and made fresh dive
under the water every time the mule
jerked its hind leg forward. When
he was rescued and resuscitated he
said it must have been the wrong kind
Of an umbrella; but he has discontinue
ed animal tanning as business now,
and whenever he hears of the approach
of anybody named Pratt be scowls,
and gloomily says he wishes he had
brought his shotgun with him.

What spectacle more pleasing does
the earth afford than happy woman,
contented in her sphere, ready at all
times to benefit her little world by her
exertions, and Transforming the briars
and thorns Of life into roses of Para
disc by the magic Of her touch? There
are those who are thus happy because
they cannot help it; no misfortuues
dampen their sweet smiles, and they
dliiuse cheerful glow around them,
as they pursue the even tenor Of their
way. They have the secret of content
meut, whose value is above the philcs.
opher's stone; for without seeking the
baser exchange of gold which buys
some sort of pleasure, they convert
everything they touch into joy. What
their condition is makes no difference.
They may be rich or poor high, or
low, admired or forsaken by the tickle
world; but the sparkling fountain
bubbles up in their hearts and makes
them radiantly beautiful. Though
they live in log cabin, they make it
shine with lustre that kings and
queens may covet, and they make
wealth fountain Of blessings to the
children Of poverty.
A Clergyman Of Saratoga springs
has constructed system Of national
time, for the convenience of RAILWAYS,
as well as Of the travelling public,
simple in its elementary principle, vet
eyincive Of much study and research
in its details. lie proposes to make
Washington time the national time
standard, and then to divide the coun-
try longitudinally into four sections,
the extremes of which, being fifteen
degrees apart, differ from each other
just one hour in time. Those hour Sec
tions of fifteen degrees are subdivided
by The various railway stations which
they contain; and by Il sytem of in
dexes at each station, the traveller,
having the local time of each station,
can readily determine its relation to
the national time standard at any
point between the Atlantic and the
Pacific. The New England Railway
Association, having submitted the sys-
TEN to a committee for consideration,
has unanimously adopted the report of
the committee approving it and rec
ommending it TO all the railroad com.
panies in the United States.

The stock market was dull and heavy, with, in
the afternoon, weak feeling and decline Of u a
Y per cent Tie mfavorable bank statement OF
Saturday and the acknowledged poverty OF most OF
the city banks check the outside speculative sent-
ment and doubtless viii continue to do so until
the bank reserves show to better advantage.
Moreover the triumph OF the clique In
getting the legal tenders for their certified
checks from the Bank Of Commerce by the surren-
der of that institution dampened the spirits OF the

other believers in stringent money market the rest
OF the Fall 1t was feared also that revenge
for the revival OF the Erie "cornero would stimu-
late fresh locking-up movement, and that the
immediate future would witness re-enactment Of
the extraordinary doings OF last week. The Erie
corner" was closer than ever, the cash stock be-
ing worth at one time per cent more than the
stock deliverable the regular way. The lowest
price was sos, from which there was an advance
to SAX cash. The active leader in to-day's
corner" was Daniel Drew, who called in
the stock 80 generally that the "shOrts' were I'M
able to make their deliveries. When quarter
past two O'Clock arrived he had the stock bought in
'under the rule" for the account Of the defaulting
brokers' and about 600 shares were bought in Tor
cash during the remainder Of the interval to the
close Of banking hours. A great deal of confusion
prevailed as to the Interpretation OF the rule that
parties interested in such transactions shall not be
allowed to buy sell directly or indirectly. The
point was next raised and settled that
no "cash" transactions 'under the rule"
could be made after three O'Clock.
The price Of Erie hereupon dropped to 81, but Mr..
Drew's brokers came in suddenly and ran it up to
53a, with the very evident design Of preventing
the "shorts" getting stock which they could turn
over to their colleagues tomorrow, and thereby
satisfy the ''cash" contracts Of this afternoon.
Uncle Daniel was quick to see this little ''geem" OF
"the boys ana he stopped 1t as soon as possible.
