Let Us Rest u Spell.

What is the need for this everlasting
this fret, and fume, and worry? Itwas not
so in the oldcn time, When times were
worse they were better, and now that they
are better they are worse. 1t was dull busi-
eating curd and potatoes, sitting long, lazy
afternoons under the trees, or at the village
tavern, and discoursing horse philosophy.
Bat then that low plane of life had as many
Pisgahs as the higher one which we make
slaves Of ourselves to maintain-just as
many. The higlbtable lands ure quite as
fiat and monotonous as the river yalies, and
they are II dea! stormier. The sun is bright
or but hotter, the winds more active, but
more keen in winter and sultry in summer.
Love, the sweetest cup given to mortal
lips, was purer in the sinpler life than now.
1t did not smell Of ,arni4h,sit M,d not the
glamour of silver. and plate glass. Love is
wine that nce1eth no bush, no sugar nor
spice. When rustic beauty sent young
blood flying through rustic lovers veins, he
did not have that skeleton. an establishment,
to glare out of sepu.c.lral eyes at him, and
convert the thrill Of pleasure into sullen
pain. lie could throw out a brawny fist and
arm, ard say. There is Jcnny's defense
and support-she wants no more, and Jane
dreamed sweet surprises for john, of pump
kin pics, immaculate bread and tidy house
wilery. ..,. ..-,ta...- .rsff.4gs
Love and marriage, once as free as noun
tain air and merry rs Il mountain stream, is
now one Of the soemncst events Of human
life. And 50 Of every ,joy--aH' now at
heavy expense of care and toll. The minis
tcr-we remember well the ,lay-preachcd
us comfortably to sleep, and he went home
and We went home, happy and content,
Now, the preacher breaks his intellectual
back at mining for ore, smelling designing,
carving, polishing. His discourse must
have fibre, grace and glitter. 1t must have
as many conyolutions as his deliberately or
nate pulpit, as many colors and shades as
the stained glass windows, Is wide a range
ofitone and harmony as the $40 900 uryan
in the gallery, which reaches from bird
note to muttering thunder.

4 New Game.

story is related Of IL jolly sugar planter
who, in the days Of specie and slavery,
foand himself in New Orleans with the pro-
cee'!S of his crop in his pockets, anxious to
invest them in the pursuit Of happiness.
Having daily primcd himself at the St.
Charles, he WAS wandering along the streets
in search of y faro bank, when his attention
was attracted by an Italian who was turning
the crank of his hand-organ, ON the top Of
which moved and danced ii number of pap
pets, one Of which had place for contribu-
tions. Taking this for novel game OF
chance, the Planter, wholly mSophiSticatcl
and more than hail inebi'iatrd, resolved to
buck the tiger, and placed Il l;yc-dollar piece
ON the pate. The Italian ground on, the
figure dcxicrousIy tilted the money into a
basket. and the Italian so!emnly placed it in
his pocket.
''llere goes to get cycn,' said the planter,
as he llanIlrd Il ten, which Shared the same
fate. "Filteen out here's twenty."
The impcrtur}nb!c Italian pockctcd the
twenty. and sill turnad the crank. The
disgustcl planter departed with the re-
mark
"WcIl, | never was lucky, but blamed
if ever see Il game before where all the
percentage WAS in favor Of the dealer!'

HAIR.

Viewed naturally, the hair is as great an
index Of temperament and disposition as the
features. Coarse black hair and dark skin
signify great power of character. Fine
black hair and dark skin indicate strength
of character along with purity and good
ness. Stiff, straight black hair indicates a
coarse, strong, rigid, straightforward char
acter. Fine dark brown hair signifies the
combination of exquisite scnsibility with
great strength Of character. Flat, Singing,
straight hair, a melancholy, but extremely
constant character. Coarse red hair indi-
Gates powerful passions, together with a
corresponding strength of character Au-
burn hair, with horid countcnance, denotes
the highest order of sentiment, intensity Of
feeling, and purity of character, with the
highest capacity for enjoyment or suffering.
Straight, even, smooth and glossy hair de-
notes strength, harmony, an evcnness of
character, hearty affections, clear head,
and superior talents. Fine, silky, supple
hair is a mark of delicate and sensitive
temperament, and speaks in favor of the
mind and character. White hair denotes
Emphatic and indolent constitution. And
we may. add that, besides all these qualities,
there are chemical properties residing in the
coloring matter which undoubtedly have
some effect upon the disposition. Thus,
rcd-haired people are notoriously passionate.
Now, red hair is proved by analysis to con-
tain large amount of sulphur, while very
black hair is coorcd with almost pure car
bon. The presence Of these matters in the
blood points to qualities Of temperament
and feeling which are almost universally as
sociated with them. The very way in which
the hair flows is strongly indicative Of the
ruling passions and inclinations, and, per-
hapS, clever person could give 4 shrewd
guess at the manner of Il man or woman's
disposition by only seeing the back of their
hair.

The Fitness of Things.

The middle-aged lady who adorns herself
with diamonds on full-dresS occasions does
what is perfectly right and proper; but
good taste is outraged at the sight of a girl
of fifteen wearing these jewels. 1t is no un-
common thing to see schoolgirls, from the
ages of ten to eighteen, wearing diamonds
on their fingers and in their ears. A young
girl does not think her toilet complete with
out diamond earrings and at least one dia-
mond ring. Then, a. she gets richer, come
hair ornaments, crosses and lockcts made Of
the precious stones In European countries
it is not until woman has attained to years
of maturity that she wears diamonds, and
even then not unless she is very rich. In
this country no one is too young to wear
them, and scarcely too poor, for many
women who live in small houses up back
streets, appear at church or the opera gilt
tcring in diamonds. One lady, who is not
able to afford servant, when she gets up in
the morning puts on calico wrapper, but
that docs not prevent her arraying herself in
diamond earrings, brcast-pin and finger
rings, with which adornmcnt she performs
her household tasks. Bad taste Of this sort
is positively vulgar. ff r

The feminine Toilet.

The other day, says a lady writer, heard
best men do not understand all the mysteries
of the feminine toilet A gentleman, who
devotes much OF his time to the society OF
ladies' and who believes himself c0nn0iS
scur in all that pertains to them, was much
annoyed BY observing that IA fair friend of
his, f;ivor;,bly known for her sty lie of elegant
dressing, would Insist, when the weather
would ALLOW it, upon wearing an old-looking
shawl, devoid of any claim on beauty or
good taste.
The gallant endHred this for long while
He drove in the park with his friend, and
often looked at the odioas Shawl in a way
that he thought would convince her of its
unftncss for 50 elegant ii woman as herself.
She did not take the hint however, but con-
tinued to display it on every possible occa-
sion. He lost all patience at last, and said
to her, one day. "Nlny | be permitted to in
quire why you viii wear THAI miserable
Shawl SO often? 1t SPOTS your dress. You
look so exQui>tcly otherwise. that cannot
comprehend why You will deturn yourself
with sutl faded rag as that 1t has moth

slicve if you We're to throw it off into the
Street nobody would pick it up"

strange cxresIioH fell across the pretty

Theological Students.

The London "Freeman" has something to
say privately 10 young men studying for the
ministry on the subject matrimonial 1t
notices the fact that theological students are
frequently engaged before they have decided
upon their profession, and that the young
lady in question may perhaps not have con-
templatcd becoming pastor wife, though
she is loyal enough not to object. Says the
'sFrecman, "We know how delicate Il mat
ter it is to speak ON this subject; but we do
not, therefore, hesitate to express our opinion
that the candidate for admission into any
one of our colleges, who is thus circum-
stanced, ought in justice to himself, in love
to the object of his choice, and in honor to
his work, to set the matter plainly before
the woman whom he desires for wife, and
to allow her, in face Of this changed aspect
of his whole plans for life, to make her de-
cision again. a false sense Of honor, and
an ignorance Of the importance Of the issue
at this .juncture, have too often caused that
little rift within the lutte which has marred,
if it has not silenced, the music of two
lives There are tive or three thousand
young men studying theology in this coun-
try, but then the above paragraph may not

Chimes of st. Michael's, Frostburg, Md.
BY NJ. S.

Those chimes of St. Mchacls, those beauti-
fIl chimes,
That call our attention and wake us be-
times,
That lift up our thoughts to heaven from
earth,
That we may praise God with our every
breath,
To whom alteration and praise are due
From all of his creatures-a worship that's
true;
From whom every blessing and every good
flows
To assuagc all our sorrows and heal all
our woes.
God, it is true filleth up every space;
BY His Omniprescncc is in every place,
But especially dwells in the house of his
love,
Where he deigns to come down from His
mansions above,
To nourish our souls with the liie-giying
Yea, of truth, with his body and blood!
Whose eatcth thereof shall not see the
dcatn,
God raising him up when cndeth this

King of Kings!
Who to men of good will peace and quiet
ness brings;
Who redeemed us TO God at the price OF
His blood,
And tie powers of Satan in triumph with

Ring out, blessed chimes, to our patron
saint,
To aid us to conquer and nc'er become
faint,
But valiantly fight, as he did ofyorc,
Till our foes are all vanquishcd, to trouble
no more.
Ring out, blessed chimes, to that Dear
Chosen One,
Who was honorcd as Mother of Gods
Only Son,
Whom the angels saluted as the bright
Queen of Heaven,
Who never was tainted with sins corrupt
leavcn!
Oh Mother immaculate pray for us ALL
And with thy assistance wen rise should
we fall;
Thine Adorable Son will give ear to each
Offered up for Thy children everywhere;
Aided by Thee we shall triumph DER sin;
A bright crown of glory we hope then to
Win;
Be admitted at last to abodes of the blcst-
