tS- At one of our churches, Sunday,
while the organ was playing vocifer-
ously, good lady whispering to her
ne!lghbor in the pew, had to raise her
voice quite high in order to be heard.
Suddenly the organ changed from loud
to soft, when the lady not taking note
OF the organ, was heard to say to her
trend, " We fry ours in butter" Per-
hnps the congregation didn't snicker,

~" Thirty-two cents" echoed a
woman yesterday, when her grocer
charged her that sum for pound Of
butter. Yes, 'um," he replied with a
bland smile. You see the grocers
cant carry much OF reserve, and we
can't turn our collaterals at a sacrifice.
If the Government calls III the bonds
due in 1874, and the imports of bullion
tend to ease the money market little,
butter must find it's level with every
thing else. Butter is very panicy just
now, but think the worst is over"
She paid the money without further
growing.

SMALL BEGINNINGS. Mr. H. O. Hough-
ton, of the prosperous Riverside Press,
tells how, nearly fifty years ago, n little
pale-faced man came into the Vermont
printing Office where he was learning
his trade, and handing him print ed
slip, said: My lad, when you use
these words spell them as here: thcater,
center, etc. 1t was Noah Webster trav-
cling on foot and visiting country print
ing offices to persuade people to spell
rs he did. The apprentice little thought
at that time that he should ever be at
the head of the establishment which
would manufacture Il thousand tons of
Webster dictionaries.

A WORD TO THE GIRLS,

Do our vouny women know what it
is that strikes one who has been away
from the country for Il time the mos;
unpleaSlntly on his return? 1t is not
their faces, assureliY, which for le-rl-
lari:v of outline, and deiicacv and frosh-
ness or tint. are unsurpassed. indeed
are not elullel, by anything one sees
abroad, save in the fines. pictures.
Nor is it their forms, which are 1.-the,
supple and graceful, with a spring in
the sep and freedom OF carriage that
are always deli ght to the eyes. Nor
can it be said 10 be their dress; for tho
they dress too much, in co!ols too posi-
tive and decided, and are in this re
spec. far behind the French women,
they are vet in advance of all Others
En- ;lish, French or Italian. Bat it is
the voice, and The mana cement of the
Voice. After looking at our American
girls, i, is almost always d!sappoint-
mcnt to hear them spea,. What they
Say is perhaps we'll enough. but the tone
and mode in which they say it Is not
we'll enough. Their voices are common
~ TOO ihin AMI >iril., and wien they
are no.. are pitched IN too high IL key.
Some iuuci they come through the nose
II great deal more than il desirable
They have II metallic ring, or at least a
recdy quality. Ike the 'voX huurna
of the organs, and no; iile soft, low and
gentle quality, which Shakespeare pro,
claimed SO excellent in woman.
Climate has no doubt good deal to do
with this result, for the fault is most
percep.ihle at the North and East, and
least percep;ible at the South; but care
lessness has quite as much to do with it.
Oar mothers and teachers, we suspect
do not take much pains to train their
children and pupils into good habits of
enunciation. They are carefully taught
to sing, but they are not carefully taught
to read and to speak. Yet more than
half the charm of social intercoure de-
pends upon the agreeable and disagree
BILE use of the voice. How repulsive,
when one has been lost in admiration
of II pretty face and noble figure, to
hear the mouth open like the grating of
n hinge. or the squawk' of II guinea
fowl. How deiccte when it opens with
the sweet trill of the flute. or with the
warble of the birds, or with that rich
deep, mellow, and sympathetic liquidi-
ty, which no other instrument but the
human throat ever attains!-Pui,am' S
Magazine.

was safe. The bursting Of few bubbles on
Wall street ought not to interfere with the
laws of supply and demand, and could never
do so if the substantial money .depOsitors Of
the country kept clear Of the bubbles. He
fully comprehended the spirit of speculation
and or pecuation that seemed to have per-
meated the most trusted corporations. but
he believed the great mass Of banks, backed
rs they are 'directly by Government funds.

proper administration by frequent Govern
ment Investigations, won'd be able to with
stand any storm that might threaten them.
THE BEAR CLIQUE JUDILASr.
The bear clique are juhilant, and consider
this their victory. Moses Taylor, Wander
.hilt, Drew, Jay Gould, and others in that in
terest, have taken advantage of the market
and have bought largely of certain stocks
to-day which touched the lowest figures, and
will buy more tomorrow. The general
opinion seems to be that Gould has eDgi-
neered the present bear movement, and that
he is largely influenced by a desire to put up
gold, Of which he is still large holder, not
wtlistanding the break in the corner of
which he was the chief two weeks ago. If
this is true he certainly has his revenge now.
1t is estimated that the shrinkages in values
in the Stock Exchange since yesterday morn.
iugare equal TO between forty and fifty mil
lions Of dollars.

WALL STREET ON THURSDAY.

TIE DESCENT OF THE STORM-LOssES OF
MlLLIuNs-nEMoSlAC SCENES AT THE
STOCK EXCHANGE
New York IIerald's report, 10th.
A stolm burst Yesterday over our financial
centre which threatened TO conYulSe and dis
tort all existing values. In Wall street every
comparison starts from the great gold panic
known rs Black Friday; and yesterday, for
the first time in four years, people were
willing to own that they were witnessing
something which approached very closely
that dire day in the annals Of financial men.
The CONSERVATION was almost as great: the
fear was quite as general. Men who, the day
before, supposed they could control their
millions OF dollars, rushed about, their
cheeks blanched with excitement and doubt
full if, as things stood. they could command,
on the moment, rs many thousand cents.
And what was all this about-the failure OF
one house and the bankruptcy OF railroad?
When men went down TO their business yes.
terday morning, confident and happy, they
heard that Jay Cooke & Co. had suspended,
and that the Northern Pacific railroad was
"burst." Immediately rumor ran through
the street, and men felt as If
