In a crowded thoroughfare there is great
Inconvenience produced 10y even the stop
page Of single person. II is, notwithstand-
ing, frequent occurrence for whole groups
to take their stand in the midst Of q current
Of people, and obstruct oi perplcX its flow.
Nothing can be more unseemly and ill-hrcd
than for few idle persons, with no more
important object than TO pass word per-
haps TO each other on the state Of the
weather TO delay large portion Of the en-.
tire population, TO most OF whom moment
OF time is Of Importance.
The monopoly Of the whole width Of the
sidewalk by close phalanX OF slow.moying
pedestrians is not AN unfrequent street an
uoyance. An entire family, paicrtdmRids,
maieJ,Daiids, and a progeny Of half dozen
or 80, all cliugiug to each other with the
strongest ties OF domestic affection, will thus
often form an impossible barricade from
house to curbstonc. All numerous parties
should divide themselves and walk in sue
cessiyc pairs, for our narrow streets seldom
allow, without more or less bustling, q greater
number than the four abreast which the two
couples will make on meeting.
There is general modesty Of mien which
Is beconiu. in the public street rs elsewhere.
and depends especially upon a decent reserve

Good taste proscrbes all personal display
in the streets which has for its object to at
tract the especial attention of the public, or
acquire notoriety. Enough has been already
said in denunciation of the practice of max
ing the most frequented thoroughfares OF a
large city places of promenade, for the exhi-
bition to the vulgar eye of either masculine
or feminine personality, made undny obvi.
Gus by excess of dress, coquetry of manner,
or by frequency OF presence. Eccentricity
of costume and conduct is indecorous aud
troublesome anywhere, but doubly unbecom-
ing and ineonyenient in the street.
There are certain regulations to be OBJ
served in walking the streets, which though
apparently of slight moment in themselves,
are Of essential importance in preserving the
general order of crowded town, and adj
ministering to the comfort of its inhabitants
Every street passenger should take care 10
keep strictly to his side of the walk, which
is conventionaly agreed in all countries, we
believe, to be that on his right hand. Two
passengers in meeting should thus pass on
the right Of each other but when overtakes
another the former should go TO the left of
the latter disregard of these rules is sure
TO lead TO the embarrassing situation in
which Sterne confesses to have been placed
and may not always result as happily. "Thc
Marquisina de F. was coming in sort
of hurry She was almost upon me-" he
says, before ! saw herr so gave a spring
to one side to let her pass. She had done
the same and on the same side, too so we
ran our heads together She instantly got
to the other side. | was just as unfortunate
as she had been for had sprung that side
aud opposed her passage again. We both
flew together to the other side, and then
back, and 50 on. IL was ridiculous We
both blushed intolerably so did at last the
thing | should have done before-I stood
stock-still, and the marquisina had no more
difficulty"

Make your Heaven Here.

There is no royal road or short cut to
heaven. Ii you want a heaven for yourself
in the world to come, prepare it for yourself
in the life that now is. You have no reason
TO think you will enter upon the next life in
any wise changed in character from what
YOU are when you leave this " He that is
holy, let him be holy still. He that is un-
holy, let him be unholy still" Aud the
character with which you leave this world
will be the slow and natural growth of the
years Of your whole earthly life, and cannot
be the result Of anything else, the teaching
of any theology or man to the contrary. The
true conception of human existence doubt
less is as one in this world and in the next
this the rill. that the river this the dawn,
that the day this the bud, that the flower (;
this the blade, that the full corn in the ear.
Heaven is not something to be won or got or
bought, either by ourselves or somebody else
for us but it is something to be grown into.
In the next world you are simply your own
old self, only moved on and moysd up.
Swedenborg somewhere gives US representa-
ton OF persons who had died, and did not for a
considerable time even know they We're dead.
Their old thoughts and feelings and loves
and desires of the earthly life remained, and
the world which they had entered did not
at first seem different from the one they had
left, only it was spiritual instead of physical.
Hence they went on with their old employ
ments and ran the rounds of their old pleas
ures. Only by degrees did they perceive
their change of state-and that as they them
selves became, by natural processes of growth
and development, capable of deeper seeing
and higher knowledge Rep. j. r. Sander

WOrsted.

1t happened the other day on tue Lehigh
Valley Railroad The train had Just left
Eastern, Pennsylvania, and the conductor
was making his first round. when he OBJ
served a small white dog, with bushy tail
and bright black eyes, sitting costly on the
seat beside a young lady so handsome that
it made his heart roll over like lop-sided
pumpkin. But duty was duty, and he re-
marked in his most deprecatory manner;
I'm very sorry, madame, but its against
the rules TO have dogs in the passenger cars"
"Oh my, is that so ?" and she turned
up two lovely brown eyes at him beseech-
ingly. "What in the world will doy |
cant throw him away. He's Christmas
present from my aunt"
BY no means, Hiss. Wen put him in
baggage car, and he'll be just as happy as a
robin in spring"
What put my nice white dog in nasty,
stufy, dusty baggage car "
"Im awfully sorry, Miss, do assure you,
but the rules of this company are as inflexi-
BILE as the laws Of the Aiedes and other fel-
lows, you know. lie shall have my over
coat to lie on, and the brakeman shall give
him grub and water every time he opens his
mouth"
al just think it's awful, so do and |
know somebody will steal it, SO they will.
And she showed half a notion to cry, that
nearly broke the conductors heart. But he
was firm, and sang out to the brakeman who
was playing a solo on the stove Here,
Andy, take this dog over into the baggage
car, and tell them to take just the best kind
Of care of him."
The young lady poutcd, but the brakeman
reached over aud picked the canine up as
tenderly rs though it was n two weeks old
baby, but AS he did SO, a strange expression
came over his face, like wave OF cramp
collie aud he said hastily to the conductor
Here, you Just hold on minute till | put
this poker away" aud he trotted out at the
car door and held on to the brake wheel,
shaking like man with ague. The con-
ductor 10 sooner had his hands on the dog
than he looked around for hole to fall
through
Wh.wh-why this is q worsted dog"
Yes, sir" said the little Miss, demurely,
Didn't you know that ?"
No I'm most awful sorry to say did
not know that And he laid the Christmas
dog down in the owners lap, and walked
out on the platform, where he stood half an
hour in the cold, trying to think of hymn
tune to suit the worst sold man on the I.e-
/ high Valley road

The Beauty Of the House.

So much Of womans life is passed ia
her own room, that IL is OF rather more i'm
portance ia her eyes than any other in the
house 1t is often her fayorite sittingroom,
the place where she sews it is her study,
where she reads aud writes her letters and
her oratory, where she retires for prayer aud
seclusion from the world girls room is
the spot sacred from intrusion, in which her
heart finds space to grow, putting forth its
innocent fancies as a flower its petals
Beds, Of whatever sort they may be, to be
clean, healthful, and restful need thorough
and daily airing. Nobody should sleep, sum
mer or winter, in a chamber hermetically
sealed from the fresh air. II is not desir-
able indeed that you should sleep in a
draught, with arctic breezes straylug play
fully over your pillow. But some arrange
ment for ventilation you should have, SO that
your lungs will not breathe over and over
the same exhausted atmosphere. In the
morning. on leaving the room, its occupant
should open the windows and taking the
bed-clothing off, each piece separately, throw
mattresses, pillows and bolster up apart
from each other, that the morning air may
thoroughly penetrate every part. Aud do
not be in too great haste about making the
beds and getting the rooms in order. Several
hours airing every nay Will insure luu
sweeter sleep at night than a parenthetical
fifteen minutes ventilation while you break
fast. If you sit in the room much during
the day, always air it well before retiring.
Some people have dreadful terror Of night
air- But, as Florence Nightingale very SEN
sibly said: " II is the only air to be had at
night, and it is thousand times healthier
than air which has been yitiated by promis-
cuous breathing"
All sorts of pretty things are in order for
the bedroom. Vases, brackets book-,helyes,
pictures, are lovingly brought to adorn it.
A child's room should be made pretty and
tasteful, with delicate discrimination be-
cause it has a constant educating influence
on the child. Let my little daughters eye
rest, morning after morning, on lovely face
when she wakens, smiling down on her like
an angel let my boy see beautiful land
scape constantly, and both will absorb re-
fined culture from the association. IL is not
fair as is the custom in some houses, to put
all the pretty choice things in the guest
chamber. Four walls and a roof, table, a
bed and a chair may furnish forth the spare
room well enough, if you can do no more
but in the rooms where your boys and girls
are growing into men aud women assemble
all the tender and softening influences that
a loving art can compass. If possible, let
the laws of ownership in room be rigidly
respected. So far as you prize individuality
in your children's characters, you viii regard
their rights in everything, and give them
some opportunity for solitude when they wish
for it.-Ndrgdret Z. Sangsier.

How IlE WAS OuIwirTED.-The story is
told of an old Quaker who lived with wo-
man as his wife, but refused 10 be bound by
any form OF marriage. Their relationship
was known TO be a perfect marriage in all
but the form, and his friends, while acknowl-
edgng the purity of the mans ideas, were
grieved at the scandal created by his action,
as he was known to be a good man. He was,
however, deaf to all remonstrances, although
his friends presented the matter in every
possible light. At length some of the oldest
and gravest among his friends determined
that the matter ought to be settled, with or
without his sanction. They therefore called
on him, and, in the presence OF his wife IN
all but the name, they renewed their argu-
ments. In the course of the conversation
they artfully managed to draw from her the
remark that she considered him as her hus-
band. Immediately afterward they spoke
to him in such q way that he, not suspect
ing their intention, replied "Why con
slider her as my wife" "Then pronounce
YOU man and wife, Those whom God hath
Joined together, let no man put asunder,'
said the Oldest man in the party. The out
witted Quaker was furiously angry, but he
had been caught beyond question.

From those times when Cleopatra drank
pearls, and Nero perfumed his feasts with
showers of rare leaves upon the guests, the
the art of dining has been made prominent
and worthy the attention Of the most culti-
vated people. To keep beautiful as well
as a hospitable board, is the duty of every
woman so fortunate as to have a home.
When the family gathered together at the
table, to partake of food and brief period
of harmonious and agreeable companionship,
the pleasure of the meal cannot but be con
siderably heightened, ii it be served with
neatness, and some attempt at art. To in-
troduce into this little family party, which
meets three times day, an air of comfort
and tastefulness, is to give to each member
q sense Of his position in the world as a gen.
tleman and lady, and their manners, dress
and conversation will take a corresponding
refined tone. When the food is dished
on to the table in any bit of crockery that
comes handy; when there is no regular place
for the meat and vegetables when the desert
aud the soup are brought on together, and
no change of plates is habitual when nap
kins are only taken out for company, and
YOU can see cold meat and cheese on the
same platter the wonder is that decency OF
behavior is preserved. The present low
prices at which stone-ware and china may be
obtained the graceful designs aud delicate
tIacery in glassware the bright colors intro
duced into linens; the durability OF plated
silyer-ware, make pleasing and irreproech
able method of dining, possible and prac
ticable. Good matron, see that your table
is attractive and orderly, as well as spread
with well cooked viands. Insist upon the
little delicaeies of courtesy nt meals be

A WonD ABouT MARRIAGE.-A physi
clan writes the following sensible advice
MY profession has thown me among women
of all classes, and my experience teaches me
that God never gave man greater proof OF
his love than to place woman here with him
My advice is Go, propose 10 the most
sensible girl you Know. If she says yes
tell her how much your income is, from what
source derived, and tell her you will divide
the last shilling with her, and love her with
all your heart in the bargain. Aud then keep
your promise. My word for it, she will live
within your income, and to your last hour
you win regret that you didn't marry sooner
Gentleman, don't worry about feminine ex
trayagance and feminine untruth. Just
you be true to her, love her sincerely, and
threw IL up TO her frequently, and a more
fond, faithful, foolish slave you will never
meet anywhere. You won't deserve her,
know, but she will never see it. Now throw
aside pride and selfishness, and see what will
come Of it,"

How LOVE KILLS FRIENDsmp-At the
best, love is fatal to friendship; the most
that friendship can do.is to listen to loves
talk of itself and be the confident of its rap
turous Joys, its transports of despair. The
lover fancies himself all the fonder of his
friend because Of his passion for his mis-
tress, but in reality he has no longer any
need of the old comrade. They cannot talk
sanely and frankly together amy more there
is something now that they cannot share
even ii the lover desired to maintain the old
aifectionate relation, the mistress could not
suffer it. The spectre of friendship is some
times invited TO haunt the home of the lovers
after marriage but when their happiness is
Haunted in rs face, when It has been shown
the new house. the new china, the new car
pets, the new garden, it is tacitly exercised,
and is not always called back again, except
to be shown the new baby. The young
spouses are willing TO have the poor ghost
remain; the wife learns whether it takes
two or three Jumps of sugar in its tea; the
husband bids il smoke anywhere il likes, and
the wife smiles a menacing acquiescence
but all the same they turn it out Of doors
They praise it when IL is gone, and they
feel so much more comfortable 10 be alone
