Two Orators.
Temple Bar.


No man was so skilltul rs Pitt to
answer the question of his adversarics
without imparting the smallest infor-
nation. He was never taken off his
guard. If Pitt ever appeared in some
eyes to grow warm rs he proceeded,
it was with 4 measured warmth; there
were no starts and sallics, and sudden
emanations of the soul; he seemed to
be as much under the minutest regu-
lation in the most vehement swcllings
and apostrophes of his speech as in
his coolest calculations. Fox, as an
orator, appeared to come Immediately
from the forming hand of nature
He spoke well, because he felt strong
ly and earnestly. His oratory was
impetuous as the current of the river
Rhone; nothing could arrest its
course. His voice would insenslbly
rise to too high key; he would run
himself out of breath. Everything
showed how little artifice there was
IN his eloquence. Though on all
great occasions he was throughout
energetic, yet it was by sudden flashes
and emanations that he electrified the
heart, and shot through the blood of
his hearcr. l have seen his counte-
nance lighted up with more than
mortal ardor and goodness; l have
been present when his voice has be-
come suffocated with the sudden
bursting forth of a torrent of tears.

grumble, dare to rear their daughters
with as vigilant an eye to their capa-
bilities and individuality as clear a
provision Of the contingencies of the
future, as they show in the education
of their sons! The age Is weary, and
with reason, of the simlle of the oak
and IVY, and the human illustrations
of the choking climber and the ham
pered, but never assimilated, monarch
of the forest, who is oftener than not
at last squeezed to death by the pref
ty vine. 1t is time we cast it aside,
as dishonoring to the true man and
the true woman, whom God created
alike in His own image. Time we
looked for juster analogies in the
Book written for all ages and circum-
stances, where sons and daughters
are described as olive-plants about
the table; twin trees, alike shapely,
strong, and rich in promise.
What, therefore, in nature and in
opportunity God hath joined together,
let not the superstition of custom or
the fear of the worlds Judgment put
asunder.

Romance of the Rebellion.

Sixteen years ago q wealthy In
dianapolis gentleman had daughter
who was the pet of the household
and y society belle. a young man,
son of another prominent citizen,
wooed the daughter, and, failing to
find favor in the eyes of her father,
projected and carried to successful
issue an clopcment. The young
couple were married and located in
Texas. At the breaking out of the
war the young husband enlisted in 4
confederate regiment, and the wife,
disguised in male attire, enlisted in
the same regiment, and followed her
husband to the field. During one of
the engagements in which the regi-
ment participated the wife was
wounded by a minnie bullet, and the
husband, still ignorant of her dis
guise, helped to carry her from the
field. In dressing the wound the sex
of the dashing trooper was discov-
cred and she was discharged from
the regiment and came north. The
husband was killed in succeeding
engagement. Her relatives never
forgave the marriage, and refused to
recognize the wife when she returned.
The father still lives in neighbor-
ing county, and is counted one of the
wealthiest citizens, while the woman,
now poor and broken IN health, lives
in miserable little house in an un-
frequented alley of this city.

in this style:

Who Should Bow First.
Appleton's journal.

Who has not heard ladies express
mild surprise because some man who
had been presented to them had not
bowed to them on meeting them on
the street, at the theatre, or in the
drawing-room? If you ask them,
" Did you recognize him?" they will
be apt to reply, "Oh, no; of course
not. He should have spoken first"
Being reminded of the well-defined
etiquette bearing on the subject, they
are likely to add: "I know that
very well; but no woman wants to
take the initiative. Men should do
that; it is their business. 1t doesn't
belong to us. No one expects US to
make ourselves so bold" The truth
is, the majority Of women are natu-
rally SO accustomed to man paying
court to them, to his making the first
advance in everything, that they can't
find it in their sexual sensiti- eness,
in their severely conventional selves,
to obey a mandate they originally
issued and still persist in perpetual
ing. Not one woman in ten thous-
and has any fault to find with the
rule; in fact, we have never known a
woman to object to it. Nevertheless,
she seldom follows it in her own
case. Sometimes woman says, as
sort of selfiustlfcation, "Suppose
l should speak to man, on meeting
him after an introduction, and he
should not remember me? How
awkward should appear; how over
whelmed I should be with shame to
observe that he did not recognize me.
| can't afford to place myself in a
position to seem to be cut off by any
man." If any number of ladies feel
thus, the point of etiquette should be
changed in order to save their sensi-
blllties. In truth, however, the OBJ
lection is not we'll made. There is
not the smallest danger that any man,
presuming him, of necessity, to be a
gentleman, at least in respect to his
observing the ordinary forms of cour-
tesy, would refuse or hesitate to re-
turn the acknowledgment of a wo-
man, even though he might not have
the remotest recollection of ever
having seen her before, OF though he
were convinced she had confounded
llim with somebody else. And the
fact that he had been recognized by
a woman would be the strongest pre-
sumptlye evidence that he had been
presented to her. Men are not likely
either to forget their feminine ac-
quintances or to mistake Mrs. Thomp-
son for Mrs. Robinson, or Miss Blank
for Miss Dash.

PAY AS YOU GO.
BY JOSEPHINE POLLARD.

A word of good counsel we ne'er should forget,
Is that which forewarns us to keep out OF debt;
For half of life's burdens that man overthrows
Who starts out determined to pay as he goes.
"Tis folly to listen to those who assert
That a system of credit does good and not hurt;
For many have squandered their incomes away,
And hearts have been wrecked by promise to pay.
man to be honest, as merchant or friend
In order to have must be willing to spend.
Is it love- or affection or faith they bestow?
Return their full value, and pay as you go.
He loses the sweetness that life can impart,
Who locks up treasure of wealth in his heart,
To reap a rich harvest of pain and regret,
When too late he discovers how great was his debt.
No loss like the losing that comes OF delay
In binding the wounds that are bleeding day!
For where is the comfort of tears that are shed
On the face Of the dying the grave OF the dead?
A word of good counsel we ne'er should forget;
And to keep out of danger is to keep out of debt
If peace. contentment, and joy you would know,
Don't live upon credit, but pay as You so.

that afforded in theatres, and con-
cludes that it is far better to go
