ideal exiStanoe. The real girl, who has
Just returned from the country, and i
occupying herself with preparations for
the approaching winter, Is not at all
difficult to describe, She IL girl OF
immence energy, and but little physi-
cal strength. She has, II can be judged
by what she accomplishes, anOble diges-
ton T; or perhaps, to be more accurate,
she has nobly triumphed over her diges-
ton, and reduced tito complete submis-
sion. She Is not highly educated, nor
docs she speak all foreign languages
with smoOthneSs and correct idiOm ;
Indeed, she has been known to play
strange tricks with her own tongue.
She Is lively, bnt not witty; she Is fond
Of laughing, without caring very much
at what she laughs; she Is noisy and
loud when she dares to be. As a gen.
eral rule she knows little or nothing of
those matters which used to be cOnsid-
cred essential parts of woman's educ;I-
tiOn, and intends, II she is rich, to have
housekeeping, when once she is mar
ried, dolie for herby some one else and
ifshe Is poor she does not think about
any more than she can help. Her no
tions about marriage itselfare a curious
mixture Of ideas derived from novels,
poems, and such acquaintance with the
world as girls get from the conversation
of young men who dance the German
with them through the winter, and
walk on the cliffs at Newport with
them through the.summer. Her life, if
she Is rich, Is in general one oil thought
less pleasure; ii she Is poor, her hOri-
zon Is filed with the mirage OF what
she might be If she were only rich.
She has IN her mind al. ideal husband,
whom usually she does not marry.
But the American girl-we will not
profane the memory Of the happy age
when all the world believed in her ex-
istenoe, by cynical comparisons, Gal
axy.
A SOCIAL SAvAGE.-This Is from the
Evansville (Ind.) Journal This Is the
season for social parties, and kissing
games are raging. In a family up
town, where dancing Is not allowed,
there was a bussing bee the other night,
and among those in attendance was a
young lady who bad recently recovered
from severe illness. When the pawns
were sold, and 1t came her turn to be
kissed, she eyineed more muscular
strength by her resistance than was
expected OF one as weak as she was
supposed to be. The young lazy and
gentleman skirmished up and down the
room a couple Of TIMES, and he seemed
in a fair way to get the dulce Osculorum.
when, by some sudden movement, the
poor girls head was completely denu-
ded, and she appeared before that com
pany with a pate as bald as a druggist's
globe, while her tresses hung gracefully
from a button on the young mans coat.
Some of the girls yelled, and others tit
terred. but the poor girl thus shoru
grabbed ut her wig, and slid precipi
lately OUT ofthe room. Her hair hayino
come out during her illness, she had Il
made into a wig, and so artistically
was the job performed and the wis
adjusted, that no one knew the differ
ence. II Is couple of weeks since TIL
occurred, and the young man felt 81
bad about it that he made the onl,
amends In his power by Offering hi
hand tc replace the wig.
The sexton ofa New York church
having to be away from his duties on,
day, got substitute who was not ae
quaihted with the congregation, am
became much excited when he saw al
old man come into one Of the pews an,
raise a peculiarly shaped ear trumpe
to his face. Springing to his side h,
said something IN low voice, where
upon the gentleman eildeavOred to rails,
the trumpet to his ear, but was preven
ted by the sexton seizing ms hand
With increasing voice aud excitement
he said: A'You mustn't, sir. YOI
Sn't blow that horn In here. II yOl
do shall be obliged to put you out y
And the good old man, pOcketing hi,
bugle, heard nothing OF service or ser.
mon.
In. France jute stalks have been sue.
cesSfHlly used for misunderstanding paper.
And in England newspapers have been
printed on jute paper. Jute seems
adapted for all but the finer kinds oil
paper.
Send disappointment 70 the Winds
take life as 1t is, and with strong will
make it as near what it should be as
possible.
The human heart is made for love,
as the household hearth for fire; and
for truth as the household lamp for
light.
Take away ambition and vanity and
where will be your heroes and patriots.
Trust in Providence will not keep
your note from protest.
Prosperity is poor sale to weigh
our friends in.
Plenty consists in the power to curb
yOurwants.
Long life is the result of temperance
