sOCIABILITY.

Ills often said OF persons, in a compli-
mentary way. that they are friendly and
laxative; but it depends somewhat on the
character OF a persons speech, as well as its
quantity, whether his acquaintance is desir-
aole or not. People may be ever so well
meaning, but If their conversation is only of
the prevailing sickness or the last horrible
murder in the papers, unless you incline
particularly to that sort of entertainment,
'hey will be very likely to prove dull com
pahlons in the end. Or if an acquaintance

ADVICE TO GIRLS ABOUT DRESS.

Dress as plainly as your parents will al
low you; but in bright colors (if they be-
come you) and in the best materials-that
is to say, in those which Will wear the long
est. When you are ready in want ola new
dress, buy it Tor make it, in the fashion. but
never quit an old one merely because it has
become questionable. And if the fashion
be costly, you must not follow it. You may
wear broad stripes or narrow, bright colors
or dark, short petticoats or long lin moder-
atom, as the public wish you but you
must not buy yards of useless stuff to make
a knot or flounce of, nor drag them behind
you OF the ground, and your walking dress
must never touch the ground at all.
/ have lost much of the faith I once hadin
the common sense, and even in the person
al delicacy, of the present race of average
English woman, by seeing how they will
allow their dresses to sweep the streets it it
is the fashion to be s~cavengers. Learn dress
making yourself, with pains and time, and
use a part Of every day in needle-work,
making as pretty dresses as you can for
poor people who lave not the time or taste
to make them nicely for themselves You
are to show then in your own wearing what
is most right and graceful, and help then to
choose what will be prettiest and most be-
coming in their own station.-Ruskin.

IL is indeed beautiful! In many portions
OF Italy travellers select the sunset hour for
enjoying the prospect of the surrounding
country. This is especially the case with
the Cathedral at Milan, from whose dome
the widest and l~oveliest view in Italy is Of

But to the sunset. Could we see the
beauties of our W country portrayed as
gloriously as those in foreign lands, and
have our judgment uninfluenced by bias, |
venture the opinion we would see as gor-
geous sunsets at particular seasons of the
year as they have in Italy. For instance,
sailing up the Hudson, or taking the trains
from New York to Philadelphia On a clear
autumn afternoon, when the naples are
dressed in their crimson robes, together with
the %variegated hues of the different forest
trees, a cloudless sky and the western hori-
ION all aglow, the radient sun almost burst
ing with its fullness of beauty, it's face ting
ed more deeply by the cool autumn wind,
and the moon advancing as a page to light
the sun to its slumbering couch. Here l
desist; it needs a painters brush to give the
glowing tints.
Again, in the valley of the Hudson, on
the Catskills or White mountains, or on the
line of the Erie railroad-Starncea Vale for
instance-We have as lovely sights as are
dreamed of out of Paradise. We will grant
that the Italian sunset is beautiful, but be-
hold the magnificence Of natures penciling
in our. own land. In the Connecticut valley
and along the Susquehanna, in Pennsylvania
the Juniata, and in the Alleghany's, gems
of sunsets will repay a visit from the lovers
of italian skies.

to be sacrificed. Its laflHences last as long

A HAPPY COUPLE.

A man should always be a little older, q
little Drawer, and a little stronger, and a lit
tie wiser, and a little more in love with her
than she is with him. A woman should al
ways be a little younger, and a little pref
tier and a little more considerable than her
husband. He should bestow upon herall his
worldly goods, and she should take good
care OF them. He may 1--WE her every care
and tenderness that affection can prompt:
but pecuniary indebtedness to her will be-
come a burden. Better live on a crust that
he earns than on d fortune that she has,
brought him.
Neither must be Jealous, nor give the 9TH
er cause for jealousy. Neither must encour-
age sentimental friendships with the OPP
posite sex. Perfect confidence in each 9TH
er, and reticence regarding their mutual af--
fairs, evento members Of their own families.
is a first necessity. j
A wife should dress herself becominglv
whenever she expects to meet her husbands
eye. The man should not grow slovenly
even at home nor, fault-finding. Long ar
gsuments, or seedlings, may end the happi-
ness that begins in kisses and lope-making.
Sisters andbrothers may quarrel and 6 make
up. !" Lovers are lovers no longer after dis
turbances occur and married people who
are not lovers, are bound by red hot chains.
If a man admires his wife most in striped
calico, she is silly not to wear it.-E1.

WHO is A GENTLEMAN

A gentleman is a person not merely &C
quainted with certain forms and etiquette of
life, easy and self-possessed in society, able
to speak and act and move in the world
without awkardness, and free from habits
which are vulgar and in bad taste. A gen
tleman is something beyond this-that
which lies at the root of every Christian vir-
tue. He is constantly thinking, not, indeed,
how he may give pleasure to others for the
mere sense Of pleasing, but now he may
avoid hurting their feelings. When he is in
society, he scrouplously ascertains the posi-
ton aud relations of every II with whom
he comes in contact, that he may give to
each his due honor, his proper position. He
studies how he may avoid touching in con-
versation on any subject which may call up
a disagreeable or offensive association. A
gentleman never alludes to, never even APP
pears conscious of, any defect, bodily de-
formity. inferiority Of talent, of rank, of rep
utation in the person in whose society he is
.placed-never makes a display of his own
power or rank, Or advantage-such as is inn
piled in habits, or tricks, or inclinations,
which may be offensive to others.

enjoying one of the rarest pleasures of social
intercourse. Such need not be counted
among the vanishing pleasures, for the rec
objection of them will be agreeable to both
ever after.

GROWING oLD.-How strange our ideas Of
growing old change as we get OF in life!
10 the girl in her teens the ripper maiden Of
twenty-five seems quite aged. Twenty-Five
thinks t~hirty-five an old thing, Thirty
five breads forty, but congratulates herself
that there still may remain some ground to
be possessed in the fifteen years before
the half century shall be obtained. But
fifty does not by any means give mp the
battle of life. It feels mddle-aged and vig-
orou,s and thinks old age is a long way In
the future. Sixty remembers those who
have done great things at threescore , and
one doubts if Parr, when he was married at
one hundred had at all begun to feel HIM
self an old man. 1t is the desire OF lite In
us which makes us feel young SO long.
