SO Nice 10 br Engaged.

Every one must have noticed the
great dilicfys ,r,H~ = general thing, be-
tween the cOudu.t Of the bstrOthed
man and the young betr0thed woman.
He, the braveT and stOngsT Of the two,
is utterly confused and bashful, and
seeks to make a secret Of the fact.
She, in the contrary tries to parade il,
is proud of it, assumes q certain air OF
prOprietOrship over him, and offers
to her friends little delicate conf
dences as to how nice il is - be Ell
gagged, and how dreadfully Jealous he
is if she looks at any one else. The
cause Of this is jnst one thing-the
man Is in love, the girl is not. have
studied human nature, have looked
into the hearts: I have made man
aud woman the study Of my life, and
J av-: tIst TIE girl in love is rarer
thau u DiackrOse- She simply has
for her lover the same feeling that
the young mother has for her baby.
She is an anxious desire to see t. him
for life, to make sure that he IS COM
Portable, that his buttons are all right,
and that his food is what it ought to
be. She understands that he IS in
love with her, and reJOicss IN the
knowledge. The idea of losing his
love Is madness to her, bat of herself
she does not understand it. a We
man who is not selfish and greedy,
and mean, who dare not smile on any
one who can give her fine clothes
aud grand establishments, OverflOws
with the mothers feeling al her life.
She expends it on her dolls in child
hood, on her poodle, on her kitten,
on her canary aflerward, and when
the time comes, on her lover. Many
a man would lose a great deal Of his
cOnceit and vanity if he knew Just
how the girl whom he supposed to be
IN love with him really felt. She al
50, would be surprised to hear that
she was not in love at all, but only
delighted to have some one in love
with her.

Tho g0T Mo Stuck 10 FaFmlng

When I was boy, says a dIstiE-
guished man, my fist saving of ten
cent pieces, earned by Saturday after
noon wOrk-fOr school kept half day
on Saturday then-were expended in
buying a heifer-calf. Then I worked
on, and paid my father a certain sum
each month for keeping. When the
calf was one year old ] traded it for
two steer-calves, and now mad to put
in good and strong to pay i,r their
keeping; but I occupied all my spare
moments in teaching these ealvts to
work In tho yoke, and at one year
old they would gee and haw a. vel
as old oxen, and my father paid me
for their use in leading the team Tor
breaking his two and three Old5.
Again, L had piece Of ground each
year, after was fourteen, thai could
plant and work on shares and, il I
wanted help, why had to give two
days of my time to the hired mans
one day.
I grew inst what my fancy and
reading dictated, and from the pro-
ceeds ] dressed as well Is any of the
boys at the present time. I always
had some time to play, and to read,
and look back, with love and pleas
ant thoughts, to the old farm and the
hand who taught me 20 use tools and
whipped me when I neglected to
drive the team out straight at the end
of the furrOw in blowing. The re-
membrance Of my bOyhood days has
always induced me to favor ali items
of Encouragement at home on the
farm; and believe, if it were more
generally practiced, we should have
more good farmers, and less broken
down merchants or loafing, hanging
on, time-servingc clerks, ready for any
thing except honorable labor and use
fulueSs.

Rend OF Break.

/ was on q visit to a friend in the
country. His house stood beside q
little stream, on both sides of which
were trees growing. At the back was
a range of hills, down which at times
the wind swept with great power.
One of the days of my visit, the
night set in with signs of stoIm.
And astcrmy night twas. The wind
rOared, and whistled, and the sound
was the louder as it rushed through
the trees and swept them to and fro.
When morning came, we found
that though the storm had ceased it
had let evidences of its violence.
Flowers and shrubs, where much eX-
posed, were torn, and in some cases
battered to the earth. Leaves were
hurled together into corners, branch
es were torn from the trees, and in
one case q large elm was broken
down.
One of the ladies of the family had
gone into the garden to look how it
had Jared with her flowers. As SHIT
did so, two little girls passed. Tne
younger of the two had seen the tree,
and had told her neighbOr about it,
and they were discussing its fate.
How had the tree been broken and
blown down was the question, while
the others around had stood? 90" an
swered the elder, "When the wind
came and blew harder ard harder,
the tree ssid I won't bend" and so,
as it wouldn't bend, the wiui broke
it and tore it up; but the Others said,
Tll bend;' and as they bent they
were not broken or blown down"
When informed OF this on the ladies'
return, [ thought, there's a good les
son for some of my little friends, and
'I must tell the story TO them.
1thad been better for some boys
know if they had said in their heart,
"Pn band,D when their parents
sought to train them right; but they
would not yield, and now they are
broken, o, how sadly And some
at school wouldn't bend but rebelled,
and were punished and expelled, and
they are broken now. And some,
when affiiction came upon them,
would not yield their hearts to God,
as He wished, but hardened their
necks; and they have been broken.
And some, who were servants to
others, would not bend 10 the will OF
their masters, though it was right;
and they are now as useless as the
broken tree.
a proud and rebellious spirit is not
a good one. It is sure to bring him
who cherishes it to wreck and ruin.
s'Pride gOeth before destruction, and
2 naughty spirit before a fall" Bet
ter Weld obedience than be stubborn.
Better "Obsy your parents in the Lord;
for this Is right" Better do your duty
to those you have engaged 70 serve,
as the Bible bids. And il is better
far not to "despise the Christening OF
the Lord" Yield your will to Him.
This will keep ycu from bending
when you ought not; and save you
from being broken and ruined when
YOU should have bent and been pre-
served.-Edriy Dd5s.

Ia his remarks, on the occasion O.,
the farewell dinner given 70 him by
citizens Of New York, Prot. Tyndal
briefly referred to his early persOnaI
history, his subsequent labors ia
working out the results in science
among the most eminent men Of the
age. After mentioning, for the bene-
nj OF other young men, in like ciIcum-
stances, his limited means as a stu
dent, the Professor said:
ought not, for their sake, To omit
one additional motive by which [ was
upheld at the time here referred to
mar r4S 70 sense NJ dafU Every
young man Of high aims must. T
thlnk, have a spice of this principle
within him. There are sure 70 he
hours in his life when his outlook
Will be dark, his work difficult. and
his intellectual future uncertain. Over
such periods, when the stimulus of
success is absent, he must be carried
by his sense Of duty. Ii may not be
so quick an incentive as glory. but
1t IS a nObler one, aud gives a tone
to character which glory cannot i'm
part. The unflinching devotion to
work, without which no real emf.
nence IN science is now attainable,
implies the writing at certain times
OF the stern resolves upon the students
character: L work, not because I like
to work, but because l OWghf To yr0rE.f -
a nObler sentiment never inspired
human action, and If Prof. Tyndall
should accomplish nothing more, in
ms example or his lab0rs, than the in
culcatiOn among even a few young
men, Of such n principle, his lie will
be a success. Thoroughly imo1ei
with that, no man. Woman child
would be drOne; but all would con-
tribute their full shares to the COM
mon stock Of human effort
But there Is one class whose a.teu-
ton should be especially called 10 tnfs
subject. We refer to the large num-
Der who undertake to excuse them
selves from work because they
think they already have reasonable
assurance of the means Of comfort.
We are satisfied that a great many
people are acting upon this selfish pol
icy-as II, with their animal existence
assured, thCy had nothing more tn
care for. Is il possible for human i'll
telIect and physical capacities to re
more entirely prostituici to unworthy
ends: Is it consistent with the ma
ture and design Of the ''lprl Of the
CREATION to be content to exist and
die, leaving no better record than that
Of the useless dr0ne, which encumbars
the hive Of Its busy associates d? 7
Wealth and position, instead Of excus-
ing from work. rather add to the
obligation thereto in the greater
aeans for Elective "work" thereby
Bat Prof Tynda!rs sentiment is
good for all, and should be made the /
basis Of all human action.

Passing through the great door, the
visitor finds himself in large unpav-
ed yard, with buildings all around it.
On one side are perhaps six or eight
guest . rs, little boxes about twelve
feet sqG4Ir, With paper in place Of
glass f.T windows, doors which do not
fit, and through the openings OF which
wind and dust find their way. \ very
rickety old chair and an equally de-
crepit table are the only furniture, the
bed being simply brick or mud plat
form, filling nearly half the room, and
raised about two feet from the floor.
Underneath il is fur. into which, IN
cold weather, Try grass or other fuel IS
pushed and fired, the heat or smoke
passing a zigzag line just under the
surface of the couch, and finally e.
Gaping up a vent I'm the wall. Other
fireplace there is none and if, a.
often happens, the chimney should be
foul, the warmed bed l. but a poor
compensation for smarting eyes and
partial sutfOcatiOn. There are other
rooms sometimes at the top Of the
yard, and it is always an object to Sc
cure them, as they are tTiills larger
and cleaner, and possibly in better re-
pair. The charges are moderate
from ten 10 two hundred cents per
night, with extras for food. On rn-
tering the inn. your cart is backed up
close 10 the door Of your room. the
mules are Embarrassed, and enjoy
their roll in the dust and the host
appears, with the inevitable teapot, to
receive your orders for food. The
meal dispatched, the weary guest rolls
himself up in his cOverlet TO sleep till
daybreak, if he can but rats and les
ser vermil often disturb his rest.

Mr.. T.. J.Mavro siriasD writ, tn Lee
London Times: The Greek n-wsp4-
pers state that a committee of influ-
ential and eminent men has been
formed at Athens TO erecta new grand
monument at MissOlOnghi in Temem-
brance of Byron. That a public ex-
preston of gratitude should manifest
itself at the capital Of Greece Is not to
be wondered at, and if this step was
not taken earlier, it is not to be as
cribed to Indifference, for every Greek
cheTIshes as intensely as ever an atfsc-
tiOnate remembrance for that noble
galaxy Of magnanimOus and humSne
men who are comprehended within
the popular name of Philhellenes II
name cOnsecTated by mum beFiess
"reminiscences Of sacrifices, Of devH-
ton, and OF enthusiastic en.!eavlTs
which are never thought of hy the
Greeks without a melting heart.
What, however, strikes one very fore
IDLY when reading tAis Intelligence is
the fact tnat subscriptions have been
solicited and generally responded to
by the various mOnasteries through
out Greece. But how is it possible?
The rigid representatives of the
Church to honor Byron! And yet it
is a fact. The Greeks, it appears,
know now to discriminate between
religious and secular virtues, nor do
they exact diametrieally opposed
qualifications from the same man.
They hold that genius must be adj
mired-nay, that it must be hOnOred
and so they 40 not hesitate 60 give
a verdict in favor of him. The quss-
tiOn put TO the occupants of the mon
asteries was not whether Byron was
fit, before repentance, to be one of
their number, but whether Byron, the
great bard-Byron, who when Greece
was on the very brink Of the abyss,
was mOuTning-Byron, who was strik-
ing his inspiriting chords when
Greece was in despair, who encour-
aged her, who breathed his last on her
soil, still hoping, aspiring, exerting
himself to the utmost on her behalf
merited to be held in public aud nG-
tiOnal veneraUiOn.

How They Pit Gut Fires in EunIch.
Bavaria.

+ From s private letter TO a st. Loui.
physician We are permitted to extract
TIE following particulars Of a fire in
Munich, Bavaria, witnessed by the
writer. In comparing the system
there practjced with the prompt and
generally successful method en1piOyed
IN this country, the reader cannot but
note the wonderful advantage we en-
Joy over our Bavariau brethren in
this regard:
This evening / head an alarm OF
fire, and seeing q crowd. plunged in
and got there before their engines did.
The fire had the appearance of being
nothing more than that OF 4 chimney
burning, and I turned to go away: but
hearing a shout, looked back ana saw
the Old Dutch machine coming
down like the wolf on the fOld,' pulI-
ed by four heavy horses. The engine
was very deXtrOusly brought 70 a
standstili by the driver running into a
wagon standing near by, knocking
down two Of the horses and nearly uI-
setting the whole business. The blaze
on the roof was slowly mounting
higher, and fifteen minutes after the
engine was on the ground a ladder
was hOisted TO the roof. Down the
streets came = huge form accOmpa-
MED by heavy Tumbling sound, as
of thunder, and as every one was
waiting for the earth to swallow him
up their fears were allayed by peFceiy-
ing that the indistinct mass before
mentioned was only a huge cask of
water on four wheels drawn by horses
and men. The fire was still making
strong headWay. Asmall head-pump
also appeared on the scane, pushed
and dragged by q parcel of boys and
men with brass pots on their heads,
which are intended to represent caps,
and also add to the magnificencs and
splendOr of the scene by the bright
reflection they cast on the admiring
crowd. Fifteen minutes more and
the hose is brought. \ man ventures
up the lad Ter with a hatehet and is
followed by several others who bring
the hose. Rut things are not yet fit
ted to suit TeutOnic ideas Of prOpriety.
Another cask of water is hailed with
delight! Another sound of trumpets!
The military appear and station
guards along the hOse-which is about
as large as a pipe stem-and the rest
push the crowd away about four
blocks. Taking a farewell glance |
had the satisfaction ofat least seeing
a very slender stream Of water play
ing on the fire, which now covered
three houses, just three-quarters of an
hour after the engine arrived. There
is really no need of a fire department
here, land I suppose that is WHY they
have none,) as the walls of the houses /
are all about two or three feet thick |
and of stone and brick, so that uDless
the fire is very large it does not COM }
