Beauty aud Goodness,

Nab a correspondent of the Vermont
Farmer, says: eve think every
woman should be fond of dress in
measure it is all right and natural that
every one should want to look, well and
wear. what is becoming and pretty
for we believe God created woman to
be beautiful for does he not clothe
earth with beauty? Does he not give.
the rose its color and sweetness? Does
he not paint the sunset with gorgeous
dies? Does he not create many things
not for use only, but simply to be beau
titul But God did not create woman
simply to be beautiful. He ment her
to be useful also. He meant. her to
have a place in the world, and one OF
Importance too. ), He gave her intellect.
He meant her to keep pace with man
in intelligence and knowledge The
progress of the age has opened many
doors to woman-let her enter in; let
her choose what suits her taste. but
adorn herself with modesty let her
ever dress simple as an adornment and
,not an end let her remember that the
cultivation of her mind is of far more
Importance than the dressing of. her
body, and an upright heart and good
name are worth moro than the world
can bestow. . f

A man out!in Montana, short time
ago, squatted on another persons land
and built small frame shanty. When
requested to move he positively refused
to do so; so, one night squad of men
came around after the squatter and he
and his wife were asleep, and lifted the
whole concern, shanty and all, with de
liberate care carried it to the river and
set it on a small raft. Then they push
ed the raft out Into the stream and let
her go. When the squatter got up to
go in the morning, he was sur
prised to find himself about sixty miles
down stream, and making good time
in nine knot current This is all we
shall say about that man. 1t would be
extremely improper to report his re-
marks in full in this paper.

THREE DREADFUL BOILER EXPLOSIONS. 1t
is seldom we have such series of horrors at
one time as is presented in our columns else
where to-day. At Pittsburg battery of four
boilers exploded, in one of the largest iron
mills Of the West causing the death of seven
employees and the wounding and burning Of
thirty others. The force of this explosion
must have been terrific, destroying the build
ings, burying the unfortunate workmen and
causing death and destruction on every hand.
Eight hundred workmen were engaged in the
works at the time. At Conshohocken. some
thirteen miles from Philadelphia, about one
hundred men were engaged in an extensive
iron foundry, when the main boiler burst.

ing thirteen in addition, several of the latter
not being expected to recover. At Syracuse
also we have to record casualty similar in
character to the two above mentioned though
somewhat less severe. In each case the victims
were horribly mutilated, being almost beyond
identification. 1t is stated that few moments
before the disasters the general indications of
the boiler attachments were that there was no
danger of the catastrophes that followed

another Waterloo. 1t made him comfortable.
So he paid England the price of being, in
everything concerning Che Queen, practically
tributary power.
If the alliance with England was one in
which France gave all and received nothing,
what shall we say of Napoleon's course towards
Germany and Austria and Italy Since the
time of Frederick the Great nothing has been
more certain than German unity. The Ger
man heart yearned for it. and there was no
more reason why Germany should not be
united than that France and England should
not be united. Napoleon, by an alliance with
Prussia, could have founded.his dynasty. II
he did not seek the alliance and preferred TO
found his throne on an independent basis,
then. certainly, his natural alliance was
Austria. But he severed Austria himself, and
then stood by while Prussia deprived her OF
ready she struck France, and completed the
unity of Germany by overthrowing Napoleon.
Even Italy, which he served and whose armies
he commanded to victory in 1859, was held
from his aid. His policy, so bright and golden,
and astonishing the world with its radiance,
fell to ashes, like the apples of Hesperides,
when touched by the rude hands of Bis
marck. 1t certainly seems that if Napoleon
had taken half as much pains to be friendly
towards Austria or even Italy as he did tow
ards England-if he had even recognized the
national wish of the German heart and re-
spected tiff he had admitted, for instance
upon "Napoleonic ideas" that German unity
was as righteous and inevitable as the unity of
France-his empire would have outlived his
own time and he would have died in the palace
in which he was born.
AS it is, he goes to his grave in an humble
village Of Kent, mourned by English trades
men, followed by the adventurous statesmen
who served his hazardous fortunes and loved
him for his amiable, pleasing, generous quail
ties; regretted by English statesmen, who
fear that France will not always be ready with
money and men to aid their schemes; pitied
by Germany, who would rather have
seen him her friend than her foe; his
house in exile and divided; his name q

To us he seems what NJ Guizot described
him to correspondent of the HERALD in
Paris-a mind filled with commonplace. Do
him all the honor that should be paid to an
amiable gentleman, and ws see him man
who walked with feeble, enceltain steps the
path made by others, and, when he was at last
confronted by danger and duty of unusual
character, he fell. His fall left nothing be-
hind him. He was not great enough for the
system bequeathed to him in his name and
BIRTH and we, who believe in France and wish
her we'll in all things, are profoundly con-
WINGED that France is too great for the Napo-
leonic Imperial system, or, in fact, for any
system which proposes to put upon the necks

Tartar rulers have enclosed the necks of the
patient, unresisting, inefficient, docile tribes
of China.
