LOVING AND HATJNG.-1f you
love, love more. If you hate, hate
less Life is too short to spend
in hating any one. Why war
against q mortal who is going the
same road with US? Why not ex-
pand the flower Of life and happi-
ness by learning to love, by teach
ingthosc who are near and dear the
beautiful lesson Your hands may
be hard, but yonr heart need not
be. Your form may be bent or
ugly but do you not know that
the most beautiful flowers grow in
the most rugged, unsheltered
places ? The palace for care, the cot
tage for love. Not that there is no
love in a mansion but somehow,
if we are not very careful, business
will crowd all there is Of beauty out
ofthe heart. This is why God has
given US the Sabbaths and Satur,
day nights, that We may leave
business and have a heart-clean.

THE MoTHER's DUTY.-The mo-
ther must reflect that education,
in it's true sense is not mere me-
chanical task; nor does it consist
IN q series Of admonitions and cor
rections, Of rewards and punish
mcnts, Of imprecations and direc-
tions, strung together without
unity Of purpose or dignity Of ex-
ecution. The mothers great en-
deavor must be to build up hu-
manity; the passions, appetites,
intellectual power, mental energy,
come under her attention in this
work. 1t is for her to strip the
grosser husk from passion, and to
develop the germ Of enthusiasm,
which lies concealed within it, to
purposes Of good; not so much to
repress the appetite, as to FIX its
impulses upon pure and whole
some food.

Ruth Edwards and Her lovers
BY MARY KYLE DALLAS.

Clifford Hull, the grocer's son,
standing behind the counter OF
bis fathers store, tying up sugar
in pound parcels, saw q girl come
ioto the store, brightly lighted al
ready, though it was only half
past FIVE. for the winter afternoon
had been dark and rainy, and 60
ing up to the counter on which
some !oavcs of bread were piled,
look at them with eyeo .hat seem
ed already to dcvour them, and
say to his father, "Havo you any
five-cent loavcs, sir ?"
The grocer answered promptly
s:No, we haven't, and what's more:
young woman, you'll find it hard
to find one in New York tonight
reckon"
"How much are these, sir?" ask
ed the girl.
"Reg'lsr price," said the gro
Ger, "ten cents"
"Have you any stale loaves?
asked the girl.
No" said the grocer very
shortly. But his son. looking
asks4nce at the girl who was a:
pretty and as fair and as fragile
as 8 white lily, who ought h'
thought, have worn silk and vel
vet instead ofthose rags, and have
ridden in her carriage instead o
walking in those de sperately shah
by shoes, saw her take the end o
a black ribbon that hung about
her throat from her bosom, ant

SELF-MADE MEN.-We do not
wonder that great men have been
born mechanics for those who
have been brought up exclusively
in drawing rooms, intelligence is a
game, q recreation; for those who
have held the sword and the helm,
who have driven the plow workcd
with the cLisel, elligencebecomes
a passion, a force, a beauty, q wor-
ship, and a love divine. 1t is from
the stall, the shop, the work-room,
that the most powerful minds have
issued. Molicre from the uphol-
stcrcr's, Burns from the farmers,
Shakspere from the hosier's shop,
Rousseau from tho heelwrights
long engaged in q struggle with
physical nature, they all took re-
fuge in the free domain Of thought.
Even an inferior mind would soon
become tempered to strength in
these mechanical apprenticeship;
and if ever the spirit Of reform
which has seized on the world
should extend to the act of crea-
ting citizens, we doubt not that
but good sense will gain a victory
over custom, and that one of the
most important parts of every edu-
cation will be henceforth the due
admixture of the development of
the mind and it's action on nature.

BE NATURAL.-One Of the fash.
ionable tollies ofthe day is the af:
fection Of GOODNESS. 1t is consid-
cred vulgar to be demonstrative.
You meet an old friend; it is
a blessing to your eyes to behold
him o..ce more. Your heart leaps
up at the sight of him. Your im-
pulse IS TO grasp him warmly by
the hand. You feel almost like
embracing him in your joy.
You must do nothing of the
kind. No ripple must be permit
ted to rufie the smooth equili-
brium and Indifference Of your feel
ings. You must greet him polite
ly, but without emotion. So the
false etiquette of which we speak
teaches.
Sclf:possession is strong quail.
ity, but we 90 not believe in this
kind Of selEposscssion. And the
people. who school themselves in
this arc not apt to have the other
and the better kind. They are not
apt to manifest self-possession on
such occasions as really call for it
occasions Of difficulty and dan
ger, and of great trials. Touch
their self-loVe, make any unusual
demand upon them for self'denial,
and their assumed and superficial
selfpossession vanishes in an in
stant.
For ourselves, we like natural
ness Of manner. Seem as you feel.
Let the heart speak, or what is
the use Of . heart.
There are crops that grow only
on light soils, and the school Of
philosophy-niscalled philosophy
of which We speak, must have
originated in shallow brains.

IN ANCIENT TIMES.

In the wardrobe of an Hebrew
lady, the most splendid article of
clothing was turban, for those
who could afford it. The poor
people had to be satisfied with
winding Il piece Of cloth round
their head and fixing it as we'll
as they could. The turbans
were Of various colors, and wound
in different ways; some Of them
were like high tower. Shoes
and stockings were unknown, but
soies OF lea! hrr were fastened with
two la;cheS. The ladies, who car

present DAY, to be far more indif.

rather sandals, and their latchcts,
made Of coIorod leather: dark
blue, violet and purple were "a
voritc colors. The ankles were
decorated with bracelets Of gold
and dainty silver chains and rings.
with tiny silver bells. Hair-nets
and head bands were in great re-
quest. The latter were made of
gold or silver, and wcrn under the
net extending from one ear TO the
other. Ear rings were much
thought Of; we are tod Of some
that weighed 4 thousand and sew
en- hundred shekcls Of gold and
were so large that man could
easily put his hand through them.
Some of the women wore several
rings with little bells attached to
them. They were generally made
of horn or silver. But tue most
popular ring was the nosc-riuy.-
The left nostriI was pierced for
the purpose, and . ring made Of
ivory or metal was put through it.

and were generally worn on the
right arm. Some Of them were
exceedingly large, so that they
reached Rp to the elbow. Rings
on the fingers were worn; chains
Of fine gold, or strings Of pearls
with little silver balls or small
tlnkling bells worn round the neck,
1t was customary to attach orna-
mentsto these chains, ,cither with no

WASTED PAINT.

Lucy II. Hopper, writing to the
Philadelphia Press from Paris, says,
in describing an exhibition of
paintings made by the "Anony-
nous Society Of Painters and
Sculplors :" There was one paint
ing which showed a background
# very dim houses and trees, in
front Of which two broad strips,
.'nc pale buff and the other dark
ray, sIantrd wildly up into mid

with my imagination in order
. discover the subject Of this pic
ture, but, failing in the attempt,
[ had recourse to the catalogue,
and found that the artist had in
tended to paint a view Of the Bou-
iovard des Capucincs, the gray
stripe being the asphaltum pave
ment,and the buff one the carriage
road, and the parti.colorcd daubs
being intended to represent the
promcnadcrs on the sidewalk
Then there was Il dreadful picture
called Break fast where a wooden

against the window.sill, stiff and
rigid as . wooden image, and fat
as a tea-tray. The landscapes,
however, were the most ludicrous
things, as they resembled nothing
in the heavens above nor the earth
beneath, and were alike guiltless
Of perspective or Of natural color
ing. Yet after my first impulse
to laugh had passed, | looked
around and feeling of sadness
crept YER me. What wasted
hours, what false illusions, what
bIighted hopes did not these daub-
ed canvasscs represent! Men that
dreamed that they were painters
had done these things, and seeing
them not as we see them, but with
tlc glamour Of tho;r inward "on-
victions over theory, had sent
them out to challenge the verdict
Of a critical world. And here
they were, representing the toll
