IANTT.

There is a class. of people whom we meet
occasionally, as We travel along life's path,
who are by nature 80 much ''smarter" and
"nicer' than ordinary common folks, that
their nose has a decidedly uubeautiful ris-
ing, as though there were q continuous
odium in that organ. Perhaps there is. If
this msgnanimous clase, who are 30 eleva-
ted above ordinary people as to always
look down upon them, only knew the &C.
tuRl amount of common sense which come
OF those vulgar ones possess, to say nothing
of their good sense and positive learning,
we think they might, without manifesting
q weakness of mind on their part, descend
to common footing of their "inferiors."
Indeed, their coming down little would
add to :hem higher tone of respect and
take the unbGcoming wrinkles out of their
noae.
What sin has a person committed in hay-
ing been born poor Whose respect has
he forfeited in commencing early in life by
hard work I Thousands of our most hon
ored and wealthy citizens began life thus ;
and they look back on their early life with
proper pride. Laziness and ignorance are
engSnde.ed by luxury, not by poverty.
The yoUag man who begins life humbly,
bat who, by diligent application to work.
and to books in his leisure moments, rises
TO standard of deserved respectability.
should not be held aloof as the same boy
VINO started IN lite so poor, but should be
admitted in refined society to the place
which lie has earned by exemplary acts.
We are acquainted with respected
young man who began frs in life by driv-
ing a meat cart. Not there only in the bean
tiful sunny days, but faithful when the wind
howled and the binding sleet was dashed in
TO his face; nor did the dreuchinC rain storms
make him shrink from his duty. Never
unfaithial to his calling, which has in it
more dignity, when honestly pursued, than
the fastidica3 part Of humanity can deigu
TO admit, he had his own ideas of learning,
which he gratifed by nocturnal application
co instructive books. Soon, therefore, our
hero was raised to higher and more re
munerative position, and finally gained
high honors in the commercial world,
Young men, you who are now in the he
ginning of life's struggles, don't be put GU,
of couutenance, or discouraged by those
who affect TO despise you for toiling for
by.and-by, as you grow older, and your
Judgment keener, you will find that elias,
- easy to fathom as tissue paper is t,
pierce, and you will smile at your real su
periority to them.-EEckdRg

HOW PRINCESS Won IN EMPEROR

The Empress of Austria is the youngest
daughter of Duke Macmillan Joseph of
Bavaria, and sister of the ex Queen Sophia
of Naples. Francis Joseph was to have been
affianced to the Princess Sophia, to make
acquaintance with whom be went on
visit to his uncle's castle of Possenhoffen,
where his four young lady cousins had
been born and brought up. The Princess
Elizabeth, then in her sixteenth year, and
remarkably beautiful, was not to have
been allowed to see the young Emperor
both because on account of her youth-she
was not supposed to be "out"-and also
because, being much handsomer than her
sisters, the willy duke desired to secure his
imperial nephew for his eldest daughter
before the former should have been allow
ed to catch sight of his youngest, as he felt
very sure that the hand of such a beauty
as she promised to be would be sought far
and wide when it should be in the matri-
monial market. So the young lady was
told that she was to stay with her COVER
ness, and not to presume to show herself
in the drawing room during the visit of the
Austrian cousin. But being lively, spirited,
and brimful of curiosity to see tEeyouthful
Emperor who had so suddenly succeeded
to the troubled but brilliant crown of Aus
tra, the Prime ess Elizabeth contrived to
give her attendants the slip, and to hide
herself in corridor, along which the impe-
rial guest, who had arrived an hour be-
fore, aud was then dressing for dinner in
the rooms set apart foc his reception,
would have to pass in going to the ban
quoting hall. AS the young sovereign
passed along the corridor, the princess, who
was Watching him, sprang out of her hi
ding place, laughing at the success of her
mar ouvre, and crying galy, "Cousin
Franz Cousin Franz wanted to see You,
but they wouldn't let me and SO hid my
self here to see you go by" Itappears that
Cupia's bow, SO innocently shot off by the
merry girl, who had no thought beyond the
| qualification of her curiosity to see the
grand young cousin, whose quality as EN-
peror had excited her imagination, went
straight to the mark. What passed be-
tween the two young people has never
| transptred but few minutes later, the
Imperial guest entered the drawing room
to rejoin his relatives and courtiers, who
t-were awaiting his appearance, and intro
duced the Princess as "the Empress of
Austria, my engaged wife," The anger of
the elder sisters is said to have been quite
appalling, as was, perhaps, quite natural
| under the circumstances, The young
Princess dined that day in the bsnquetipg
hall, seated beside the "Cousin Franz" so
suddenly metamorphosed into her "Impe-
rial spouse )" and the Duke, though vexed
for the disappointment of his eldest
| daughter, had at least the satisfaction of
having this splendid match secured for his
youngest. The marriage took place when
the Princess had reached the mature age
of sixteen, and all her husbands subjects
were enchanted with her youthful beauty
and her remarkable grace aud kindness.

FACIAL NEURALGIA.
A physician of London hospital writes
% the RrifisA Medical Record

A physician of London hospital writes
to the British Medical Record:
"There is no recognized reason why OF
late years neuralgia of the face and scalp
should have increased SO much in the fe
male sex as compared with our own.
There is no doubt that it is one of the most
common of female naladies-one Ofthe most
painful and difficult of treatment. lt Is
also a cause of much mental depression,
and leads more often to habits of intempe-
rance than any other. This growing pre-
yalence of neuralgia may to some extent
be referred to the fleets of cold upon the
terminal branches of the nerves distributed
to the skin aud the reason why men are
less subject to il than women may, to
great extent, / think be explained by the
much greater protection afforded by the
mode in which the former cover their
heads when they are in the open air. 1t
may be observed that the surface OF the
head which is actually covered in man Is
at least three times that which fashion al
lows to woman: indeed, the points OF
contact between the hat or bonnet and tue
head of the latter are go irregular as prac-
tically to destroy any protection which
might otherwise be afforded. II were to
report to the Journal case of facial neu-
raIeia cured on the principle of protecting
the lateral and frontal surface of the face,
a. we'll as the superior part of the scalp, 1t
might excite Certain amount of ridlcule.
can assure you, however, that my patient
considers that her case ought to be report
ed for she says that if we cannot do much
for neuralgia with our prescriptions, we
ought to oppose fashion when we find it
prejudicial to health and productive of suf-
fering.

4 STORY OF CURRAN.-It is related of
Currau the famous Irish orator and wit,
that he was, one evening, sitting in a box
at the French opera, between an Irish
noblewoman, whom he had accompanied
there, and a very young French lady.
The ladies soon manifested strong desire
to converse, but neither of them knew a
word of the others language. Curran, of
course, volunteered to interpret, or in his
own words, "to be the carrier of their
thoughts, and accountable for their safe
delivery" They went at it at once, with
all the ardor aud zest of the Irish and
French nature ombined but their inter-
prefer took the liberty of substituting his
own thoughts for theirs, and instead of re-
marks upon the dresses and play, he intre-
duced 80 many finely-turned compliments
that the two ladies soon became completely
fascinated with each other. At last their
enthusiasm becoming sufficiently great,
the willy interpreter, in conveying some
very innocent questions from his coun ry-
woman, asked the French lady. "if she
would favor her with kiss" Instantly
springing across the orator, she imprinted
kiss on each cheek of the Irish lady, who
was amazed at her sudden attack, and
often afterwards asked Mr.. Curran, " What
in the world could that French girl have
meant by such conduct in such place y
He never revealed the secret, and the Irish
lady always thought French girls were
very ardent and sudden in their attach
ments.
