A WoMAN's IDEA OF NENUs.-On the
piazza OF Long Branch hotel, the other
evening, the following conversation be-
tween a pretty young woman and her
chevalier was heard:
She-Why have the newspapers been
making such fuss about the transit of
Venus? Who cares anything about il ?
He-It is a matter of great interest to
science; but then you women neither
know nor want to know anything of
science. Your sex would not make a
voyage to the South Sea, except to find
out how Venus might be dressed.
Shelf l remember my mythology
aright, Venus didn't wear anything in
particular; and now understand why
the mon have gone so far to look at her
Utmost any man would go several
thousand miles to see n woman who had
neglected to put on her clothes.
ne was silent, having manifestly re-
celved new light on the subject, aud in
"ardiy wishing lie had gone, too.

BOYS, READ AND HEED THIs.-Char-
acter grows; it is not something to put
on, ready made with womanhOOd or
manhood; but, day by day, here little,
and there a little, grows with the growth
and Strengthens with the strength.
Look at n man of business-prompt,
reliable, conscientious, yet clear-headed
and energetic. When do you suppose
he developed all these admirable quail
ties? When he was boy. Let us see
the way i'm which boy of ten years gets
up in the morning, works, plays,
studies, and we will tell you what kind
of man he will make. The boy who is
late at breakfast and late at school,
stands n poor chance to be q prompt
man. The boy who negleets his duties,
/ be they ever so small, aud then excuses
himself by saying: 81 forgot, / didn't
think ~ will never be q reliable man.
And the boy who finds pleasure in the
suffering of weaker things, will never
be noble, generous, kindly mana
gentleman in the same way.

Prince Bismarck as Dummy"

A Saxon military band gave a private
performance before Prince Bismarck a
few weeks ago in Berlin, just prior to
his departure for Kissengen, and one of
its members has furnished a Dresden
paper with an account of their recep.
ton by him. The Prince showed them
over his house, and pointing to a desk
in the Princess room told them his wife.

He had from the beginning entrusted
her with the charge of his money affairs,
while he attended to politics. aud he
would advise every married man to do
the same, taking no more than his wife
gave him. Drawing a table out of a
corner he said: At this table NJ. Theirs.

at whist. That dummy was won partly
owing to you Saxons, for if all had not
been so brave l should have held no
trumps in my hand. When we began
to negotiate, the gentlemen would not
understand my French because |
demanded too much. Thereupon |
spoke German to them, and that they
would not at first properly understand; |
but at last we agreed. They conceded |
everything, and when they had signed |
their names to it again spoke French |
with them. Had we beer united two
hundred years ago we need not have been
tyrannized over by the French; but now,
hank God, we are united, and hope we
shall remain so. If they once more
,,eqgire it we shall again give them a

Prince said he had always respected the
