ually. A year Of real life does not work
a revolution IN him; nor do two, northree
nor four. A certain lapse Of time, how.
ever, brings him 10 that Interesting stage
in his career where he stands on fl,e
threshols between youth and real manhood
His second collegiate course has been no
longer perhaps than the first, but bis
teachers have been the sterncst he ever
knew. Though time has tutorcd him
severely, there is good deal Of the origin
JOY in him yet; you can giill detect the
senior, and possibly, with little scratch
ing, the freshman. Here are al dc
weaknesses Of the collegian. He is in the
ministry, and expresses decorous surprise
at your ignorance Of the fact TINT he was
in charge Of a whole church and two Sun
day schools, to say nothing Of consiaera-
bic family, and secretly wonders whether
you are as well-informed as you used to
be. Or being sprig of the law, he is
mortally wounded at finding you unaware

ing honor-men have been known to do.

country town aud lives on the aroma Of
his valedictory now grown faint with time.
Possible ho is the young man about town,
who does nothing and talks about every
thing, whose club is the one With the
window most becoming to his peculiar
style Of beauty, and whose controlling am.
bition is to wear the longest oyercoat on

college, he mourns over the sad deeenera-

BELLS AND AGE.-A fiddle improves
by age and use; piano does not, neither
does bell. There is, perhaps, slight
improvement for the first few years, but
afterwards the quality deteriorates. Ne.
tai, we know, is altered, by repeated and
long continued hammering. Tbump a
piece Of iron, aud you change the quality
Of its magnetism; the shock of the waves

The first two or three strokes are distinct

THE sNow.sToRM.

Last night. when the lights Of the village
Flrs, twinkled along the hill.
And teams that were late with their meal -grIsts
Came toiling up from the mill
Slowly drifting and falling.
Like dust from the miliers fan,
On the fields, and the roads, and the fences,
The winters storm began.
The boy looked out from the window
Away DER the dusky plain
It suows,r he cried TO his sister,
Come listen. against the pane"
Drifting II fell, and whirlIng
Like foam where the mill-wheel goes;
And the boy went OF with his sister,
And shouted, at SHOWS, Il SnoWsp
Out through the halfopened doorway
They peered forth into the night;
II dashes Its breath in their faces,
And darkened the pickering light;
In the dusk they shonted. Oh, mother
The valley Is white below,
And teams that go by from the milleTs
We scarcely can sec for the snow"
Then the voice oftheir gray haired grand-dame
Was heard through the whispering gloom,
While the dancing fame Of the fire.llght
Flecked shadows along the room;
Come hither," she spake, my darlings.
The ire at our hearth Is warm:
Let us think while the SHOWS are drifting
ofthe shelteriess lambs in the Storm"
All night long on the house-top falling
The sofi fakes 1uttered down,
And the churchsbell's voice grew husky,
From the weight OF is frosty crown;
But when the Hrst CLEAN Of daylight
Through darkness began to steal,
lie shook il down from his forehead
And shouted a gladsomc peal.
But the hosts OF the mail-clad storm-king
Had triumphed throughout the night,
And the banners and blades Of autumn
We're crushed in the bitter fight
But when the red glory ofsunrise
Was unfurled in the east again,
There was smoke on the edge ofthe hilltop.
And glimmer Of spears on the plain.
And the children. the merry children.
Who saw :he lights on the hill,
When teams that were late with their meal-grists
Came tolling up from the mill
When the winter SHOWS are falling,
And the fire on the hearth Is warm,
May they think ofthe prayer Of their grand-dame
"For the shelterless lambs in the Storm"

And walks beside thee in is dreams.

To GIRLs.-My pretty little dcsrs, you
are no more ft for matrimony than a pull
let is to look after family of fourteen
chickens. The truth is, my dears, gener-
orally speaking, you need more liberty and
less fashionable restraint; moro kitchen
and less parlor; more exercise and less
sofa; more ffankness and less modesty;
like a buxom, bright-eyed, rosy checked
lass--oue who can darn stockings, make
her own fIocks, mead trousers, command
regiment Of pots and shoot wild duck
as well as the Dutchess of Marlboro. or
The Queen Of Spain, and be lady withal
in the drawing room. But, as for your
piuing, moping, screwed-up, wasp-wasted,
putty faced, e-murdering, novel de-
souring daughters Of fashion and idlencss,
with your consumption soIed shoes and
silk stockings, you won't do for wives aud
mothers.
