WoMAN's INFLENCE.-Like the olive
tree-said to fertilize the surrounding
soil-there are some few ministering an
gels in female guise among us all, and
about our paths, who sweetly serve to
cheer and adorn life. Our amusements
are insipid unless they contribute to
them; our efforts of noblest ambition
feeble unless they applaud, its reward
valueless unless they share them. There
are, too, some rude spirits in the world
whose bolder nature female influence ad-
mirably serves to refine and temper; and
perhaps it is au extreme eulogism of the
poet, that without that influence many a
man had been brute indeed /" The
concurrence of both sexes is as necessary
to the perfection of our being as to the
existence of it. Man may make fine
melody, but women are also required to
make up harmony.

A Shirt that Opened Behind.

A man N Greenfield, whom we will
call William, got up the other morning
and proceeded to put on shirt which
his vile had just made for him after
new pattern. AS she stood at the mirror
curling her hair, she heard a suppressed
sound, half way between groan and
an oath, and turning round said, laugh
ing, Why, my dear?" "Shut up I"
he CALCULATED "you are born fool.
Never let woman attempt to fit shirt,
she cant do it il is one of the imposs-
bilities." "But, William, "depreciating-
ly. Don't you talk-let me talk. Do

His wife dared not speak, but, bringing
a good-sized mirror from the next room,
she held it up behind him for moment;
and perceiving by his chop-fallen ex-
preston that he saw the point, and the
front, she ran down to settle the coffee
and see that Bridget had set the table
AS William walked
down to his Office that morning, he said
to the first friend that he met, Il tell
you, Tom, that little wife of mine is a
born genius. Look at this shirt now;
she cut and made it all herself; no con-
founded button-holes to bother fellow
Just send your wife up for the pattern"
And it was by the way of Toms wife
that Lizzie first knew that William was
pleased with his shirts

A Strange story Confirmed.

The particulars connected with the
strange death of a saloon keeper named
Simpson, of East Douglass, who WIS
taken suddenly i'll during the visit of a
praying band at his saloon and died a
few hours after, were given in letter
from Mrs. Luther Hills, leader of the
band, and read at the peoples prayer
meeting in Worcester yesterday morn
ing. The Worcester Gazette contains
the following extract from the letter.
"We went into Mr.. Simpsons saloon
i shook hands with him and introduc-
ed the ladies, and spoke of our coming
in love and kindness to talk with him
about his business. After some CONVEX
sation he was asked if he would not re-
frain from selling liquor he said, Il can
not promise to then being asked if he
thought it was right, he replied, Just as
right as to sell groceries then said,
let Us see what the word of the Lord
says opening to 1st Cor. 6 10, read !:
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunk
ards, nor revilers, nor extortioners shall
inherit the kingdom of God He re-
piled, Il knew it before, but that does
not include me- The reply was we did
not expect to bring anything new, only
to call to remembrance. You said it
was right to sell, but this shuts all who
use it out of the kingdom of heaven, and
you don't want to be shut out, Mr.. S.
Then turning to Heb. 2:15: Woe to
him that giveth his neighbor drink, that
puttest the bottle to him and makest him
drunken also. Then to Deut. 80 10: /
shall have peace, though | walk in the
Imagination of mine heart, to add drunk
enness to thirst; the Lord will not spare
him, but then the anger of the Lord and
his jealousy shall smite against that man
and all the curses that are written in
this book shall lie upon him, and the
Lord shall blot out his name from under
heaven.
On looking up his eyes wer4 riveted
on mine, and he was very much agitsted,
trembling exceedingly. No further
words were given us to say we were all
spell-bound for what seemed long time.
AT length one of the ladies said to his
partner, think something is the mat
ter with him. No movement was made
until urged the second time. He was
then removed from the counter by which
he was supporting himself, when his
tongue seemed to be loosed and he cried
out twice, % God have mercy on my
SOUL
He was then taken to a room back !;
we were about to retire when another
cry for mercy arrested our attention,
those who were with him begging us to
stay and talk with him, both saying it
was the Holy Spirit said it was the
word of the Lord, sharper than any
two-edged sword Comforting words
quieted his agitation. His mind was
clear, but he could not talk. He was
soon taken home, and died about eleven
hours after"

A papa in Greenville, Kentucky, has
a daughter Kate, aud Kate has a lover
distasteful to papa. On the lovers birth
day Kate bought nice, gilt-edged box
of perfumery for gift, and put into it,
" The contents are as delicate and inno-

the box before it was sent, and changed
the contents for bottle of soothing syr-

True Worth.

A really modest and meritorious per-
son will never make pretensions of any
kind. His manner and expressions will
always have tendency to underrate his
ability, not because he will pretend to be
less capable than he really is, but be-
cause SO many men have become preten-
tious in their manners and expressions,
he fears he may be considered as such.
We are, in consequence, too apt to con-
slider the extent of the capacity Of those
whom we meet little below the stand
ard indicated by their acts and expires.
sions. Therefore true merit is seldom
appreciated, and its cultivation ia never
greatly encouraged. On the contrary,
pretence is almost always successful. He
who is pretentious affects the interest of
society in the same manner as the swim
Gler. He induces men to doubt the ca
pacity of others, and often to refuse aid
and employment, because they measure
the merits of all by those of the preten
tious fop and conceited ignoramus.
Many an honest and skillful man, and
many valuable improvement, has been
refused support and adoption because the
pretentious swindler has previously
misled the people, and imposed upon
them outrageously. Pretentions of every
kind are the true indications of weak
mind or would be swindler.

American Love of Titles.

Some American families who have
been thrown upon the shores of plenty
by petrolian wave, or reached afiiuence
through successful venture in Wall
street, on coming to Paris endeavor to
establish social status as expeditiously
as they have attained to fortune. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that such an ef-
fort is not attended with success. They
seem to abandon their home guides in
making friends. They do not ask if the
people they gather round them are hon.
est and worthy of their confidence. Have
they a title? is the question which as
sumes the Importance of Shakespeares
"To be or not to be- They do not
know, and apparently will never learn,
that title in France signifies absolutely
nothing unless there is something behind
it--wealth, character or talent. This is
especially the case with the feminine
portion of the family, and such is their
daily influence ON the head of the group,
that in the end he is apt to fall into their
views. To have in their drawlng-room
count is delight; a marquis, joy
forever.
As there are number of these who
are sadly off for the comforts of life,
they are to be had on easy terms-Bo-
hemians of the lazy kind who live from
hand to mouth, and who are ready on
all occasions to eat a good dinner without
possessing the necessary funds to pay for
it, There is also the prospect of a rich
marriage with one of the young repub-
lcan women who are infatuated with
titles. These are sufficient inducements
to the mobiles who exist an .joatr te Jour,
and they become assiduous CONFINES at
the American board, and ardent gallants
of the daughters of the household.
Their treatment of Frenchmen brings a
smile to the lips of the man of
the world. Count de Nigaud, whose
operations on this globe are restricted to
those of consumer, is surrounded with
attention, and Mr.. Lefort worker and
consequentlya useful member of society,
is neglected which is the reverse of what
takes place in the French house, or in
deed any other in which the inmates
have not lost their judgment.
1t is worthy of remark that all the
foreign women who come to the French
capital, none are so fond of titles as the
American women. Ii has reached such
a point that one is tempted to believe
that there is a radical defect in the edu-
cation of our daughters. They look on
this glittering nomenclature as Eve
gazed on the apple GALAXY for Nay.
