A New Invention of tue Enemy.

This brings me to speak Ct this new
sty lie of promenading with the gentle
man hangirg on the lady's arm. This
cast out of all goo society as evil.
One may say, 81 can't zee any differ
ence which has hold of the others
arm." Possession, in law, is considered
half, and why not so in other things?
A woman's safeguard is to keep a mans
hands off Of her. If you need his as
sistance in walking, take his arm in
stead of his taking yours. Just tell
him in plain English to Glands of.
He may not like it at the time, but he
will like you tenfold more. Men will
be, and DO. just what the women allow
them to. Men will not do to trust.
Give a man your atm and you will
find him very confidential and he will
take great many privileges he would
not take, if he was not permitted to do
50. He will give your arm many affec-
Tomato squeezes and sly twists that he
could have no opportunity of doing,
and the opportunity is just what he is
after. A few words more of advice,
and I close. Keep your girls off the
square only when they have business.
Teach them that it is unnecessary to go
to the postoffice every time they go out.
Your girls can walk alone just as well
as your boys. Don't allow your girls,
if they have a beau, to go with boys
much older than themselves. If pos
sible, instill into their very natures that
they are safer in their own hands than
they ere in the hands of any man

and forever, she did not heed the light
footsteps of time till some far off clock
tolled out the hour, and as it ceased,
two other voices-was it the echo of
their own-took up the strain ; two
voices, strangely familiar to jock,
standing there in the shadow of the
lindens, whose tones gave him a great
thrill of enlightenment, as Pitania and
Starveling, tired of dance and mask,
paced up and down the sweet secluded
tryst and opened their hearts. ts12
Emilia" Starveling was saying,
whom Jack had recognized earlier as
the handsome cousin of his fancee,
"are you still bent on feeding your
pride and starving your heart? Isn't
love better than noble birth, older than
the oldest families. sa -rF5r~.
"I doa't know" answered Amelia,
lightly. owe know what life is like,
YOU and /, Franz but the trouble is
we can't climb this family tree of ours
far without coming upon a hornet s
nest. If our great-grandfather had
traded in the Indies and lost every cent,
instead of sitting on his bench and
pegging shoes and laying by treasures,
why, in that case, my dear Franz. l

passed on through the treacherous
shadows. The hand that Jack was
about to relinquish was pressed closer
as the tuuefUl voice died away in whis-
pers the farewell he had been about to
utter tainted on his lips; there was nc
reason under heavens why he should
marry Emilia, since she did not love
him. He drew Dawn toward his h art;
the adagio Of flutes and violias drifted
down to them as if blown from some
other world.
"Puck has been playing pranks with
all of us but the spell is broken, .
said he. " We belong to each other. y
And so the midsummer night ended.

sleep.

A physician says that the cry for rest
has always been louder than the cry for
food; not that it is often harder to OBJ
tain. The rest comes from sound sleer.
OF two men or women, otherwise equal,
the one who sleeps the best will be the
most moral, healthy and efficient.
Sleep will do much to cure irritability
of temper, peevishness and uneasiness.
1t will restore to vigor an overworked
brain. twill build up and make strong
a weary body. 1t will cura headache.
1t will cure broken spirit It will
cure sorrow. Indeed, we might make
long list of nervous and other mala-
dies that sleep will cure. The cure of
sleeplessness requires a clear con-
science, and avoidance Of stimulants
and narcotics. For those who are over.
worked, haggard, nervous, who pass
sleepless nights, We commend the adop-
ton of such habits as shall secure
sleep: otherwise, life will be short, and
what there is of it sadly imperfect.

depot, because oats will follow corn
with no cost but the seed and harvest
ing, both of which can be paid for
every winter in the mutton that can be
fatted on the growing crops; it is
cheaper to raise all the pork the farm
er's family can consume annually than to
buy bacon at ten cents per pound it is
cheaper to grow pound of wool, up to
certain number of pounds, than the
same number of pounds of cotton and
1t is cheaper to grow anything that can
possibly be grown upon the farm than
to buy 1t on credit. .sa.G = u
Few farmers understand properly
what is meant by "buyirg on credit. !"
They know they get the article and pay
more for 1t than if they paid the cash !;
but they never once calculate the pre-
MUM and percentage they are paying
for this privilege of getting time or
credit. Let me illustrate. The aver
age farmer may raise meat enough to
do him till the LIST of April. By TINT
time he has to buy; but having no
cash, though good credit, he goes to
the store and buys bacon at Is cents
per pound, payable LIST of November
following. He learns the cash price is
l23 cents per pound, but necessity COM
pels him to buy on credit. He thus
pays 2! cents per pound ssfor the priv
lege of buying on credit, on one-sixth
the price to be paid, which 10 simply
163 per cent. per annum for the use of
money, But he buys in April, and has
to pay first November, only eight
months credit, and thus pays twenty
five per cent. per annum for the use of
money. What farmer can afford to do
this and live 4? What is applicable to
bacon is equally so to corn, hay, -four,
! implements, mules, and every article
| the farmer buys on credit.
1t is estimated that the average in
crease of the agricultural wealth of the
| United States is about four per cent.
per annum The average increase of
agricultural wealth in any southern
state annually since the war has not
been one per cent. Indeed, some of the
states have travelled the other road, and
are now lost in the wilderness of debt
and there is no more potent cause for
This condition of things than that of
| buying on credit the necessaries of
life to enable them to grow cotton, and
this, too, very frequently at cost that
exceeds IFS market value. There is an
| infatuatiOn about this cultivation of
cotton that amounts to an hallucination-

What is a 8. Gentleman 90

-
By What is gentleman ?'' is ques-
ton almost useless to ask in society, for
il is practically insolnble, and leads to
endless discussions as to birth, moral
worth, mental accomplishments, and
conventional manners. But the lawyers
have got hold of il now, and last week
four of cur best judges--Coleridge,
Heating, Grove, and Denman ebated
heartily the pros and cons of the dis
iputed point. The case arose through
the description in legal document of
retired lawyers clerk, who acted occa-
sionally in the capacity of a writer of
IS gentleman. ~ No doubt, accuracy of
description is extremely useful, and
may be essential in matters of law. so
the four judges granted rule" on
the aorinaa .facie ground that the word
so applied was inaccurate, insufficient
or wrong" One counsel contended
that he ought to have been called let
ter writer or debt collector, while
Judge pointed out that if indicted for
any offense he would be called a :" la
borer." 1t appeared in evidence that
at the time he was employed in what is
called winding up an estate, but
"estate winder" is rot calling IN any
directory we know. In one quoted case
the Judges held that government clerk
ought not to be described as a "gentle-
man." a decision that may dismay some
of the young patricians who take tie
queens pay IN W,st End Offices, and
would especially shock Thackeray's
Rawlins Rawlins, Esq of the foreign
office, who was such an " ass and re-
spectacle" At the previous hearing of
the case Mr.. Talfourd asserted that
sthe term would include anybody who
had nothing to do and was out of the
work house" This, we humbly think,
is going a little too far, for it comprises
habitual thieves, mendicants and per-
sons in the receipt of outdoor relief.
Some of the judges inclined to the be-
lief that this handy man who worked at
all kinds of odd jobs ought to have
been described as of "nO occupation, !"
because he attached himself permanent
" TO none. The awkwardness of the
whole question arises from two causes
the desire of some persons with dem
ocratic occupations to pass in society
for persons of higher standing, or to
conceal their connections with new call
ings that as yet have no recognized
status. The best final solution might
be to reject the legal status of the word.
The means of livelihood generally sup
ply the best indications men are land
owners, farmers, fundholders, share
holders, etc, and few cases cannot be
covered by titles of this kind. In truth,
gentleman" ought to be, not a legal
style, but title of honor given by So
ciety, and therefore affixed according to
the varying standards of place, circum-
stances or time. Its retention in law
papers when the proper use of the term
is SO perplexed is apt to be snare
