ADVICE OF AN OLD LADY" Now, John,
listen to me, for l am older than you, or
could not be your mother. Never do you
marry young woman, John, before you
have contrived to happen at the house
where she lives at least four or five times
before breakfast. You should know how
late she lies in bed in the morning. You
should take note whether her complexion
is the same in the morning as it is in the
evening, or whether the wash and towel
have robbed her of her morning bloom.
You should take care to surprise her, so
that you can see her morning dress, and
see how her hair looks when she is not ex
pecting you. If possible, you should be
where you can hear the morning conversa-
tion between she and her mother. If she
is ill-natured and snappish TO her mother,
so she will be to you, depend upon it. But
if you find her up and dressed neatly in the
morning, with the same countenance, the
same smile, the neatly combed hair, the
same ready and pleasant answer to her
mother which characterized her deport.
ment in the evening, and particularly il
she is lending hand to help get the break
fast ready in good season, she is treasure
John, and the sooner you secure her tC
yourself the better.

His Looks Deceived Him.

He did not look like joker. One to sit
and study his face would have said that his
soul was so lost in melancholy that he
didn't care two cents whether the sun set
at noon or staid up until o'clock. He en-
tered the ladies' sitting room at the Cata-
wissa depot, walked up to a woman whose
husband had left the room about ten min
utes previously, and calmly inquired:
MADAM, your husband went out to see
the river, didn't he?'
Yes-why ?" she asked, turning pale in
an instant
"He was a tall man, wasn't he?'
"He was" she replied, rising up and
turning still paler."

He had-oh what has happened?'

" Let me see him-let me see him." she
cried.
"Come this way madam, but do not get
excited. There, is that your husband
across the street at that peanut stand?'
"Why, yes, that's him; that's my hus

you said he was drowned"

She CURED HIM.-At last she completely
cured him. For many months she had
patiently endured the pangs so many
thousands of young wives are compelled to
suffer. Almost every morning at breakfast
the heartless husband expressed the hope
that he might live to see the day when he
should get such coffee as he used to have
at home or such cornbread as his mother
was won't to make and bake. At dinner
the meat was oyer-baked in the range; to
be sure, his mother used to roast the meat
in an old-fashioned Dutch oven, and the
piece was always done to turn-the last
turn of the revolving spit. Those days
were forever gone, but he might and ought
to get such a green-apple pie with new
cheese as his mother used to give him. At
length the long-suffering wife arose in her
wrath, upset the table, sending all the
dishes and their contents crashing TO the
carpet, strobe over to her astonished hus-
band, gave him box on the car which
knocked him off his chair, and remarked
"There's q cHp.o,.r tar head for you, such
as your nol... 4-ya 10 give you when you
was boy. goldern yer" Thereafter there
was domestic peace and quiet in that house,
with mover an allusion to the maternal
cookery and comforts Of the by-gone days

THE IRIsHMANs PLEDGE.-Gough tells
this story about an Irishman to whom a
physician said, "Tim, this won't do; you
must take warning from the fate of your
friend, OShaughnessy. Only three nights
ago he came home much soberer than you
are, but, in attempting to blow out a
candle, his breath took fire, and he ex-
ploded-blew up-so that his friends in
three days have not been able TO scrape
enough of him together to hold a wake
over" And do you none to tell me that
he bust up?" said Tim. Indeed do,
upon my honor" Tim said he would take
the pledge at once, and did so in the fol-
lowing form: " / swear never to blow out
candle while I'm drunk again."

OaymPian Sculptures.

The whole of the great Temple of Zeus, at Olympia, is now cleared from soil. and important additions are being made every week to the museums of sculpture and inscriptions. A cores pendent of the Academy describes these Olympian sculptures as possessing neither the grace nor the careful finish of the Parthenon statues. "It is easy to point out faults in them, and in many respects they give 8 shock to the notions of art which we have formed from the works of the sculptOrs who represent the orthodox line of descent. But the originality and boldness of ex
 ecutiOn produce first surprise and next delight, and finally feeling that Greek art is a wider thing than we had sup posed." The fragments of the Eastern and Western pediments ore described in detail. All these sculptures, the works of the contemporaries Phidias, were elabOrately sketched by Pausan- ias. He made one mistake. In de- scribing the sculptured group on the Eastern pediment, he puts a helmet on the head of Gnomaus, one of the prin- cipal figures in the chariot race. The German diggers have, discovered that itwas Pelops who who had the helmet and that GnOmaus wore band around his head. Pausanias seems to have been, on the whole, 8 tolerably accu- rate reporter as we'll as an intelligent traveller. and this little slip was prob ably an instance of heterophemy.

IAN, CONN.,, FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 1877.

that no piece of old Worcester has been found crazed; fault arising either, as in Chelsea sometimes, from excessive thickness of the glaze, or, as in Derby, from defect in the body.
 The gliding of porcelain has always been one of the most important features in it's decoration; and the preparation of the Worcester gold was remarkable, rivaling some of the best continental work. Vienna and Sevres surpass it; not so much, perhaps, on account of finer metal or better preparation, but from the more artistic and richer treat ment. The principal colors of old Wor- cester are fine cobalt blue, ruby, opaque green. and turquoise; and the cobalt blue has. always been an especial favo- rite. The maroon specimens are scarce.
 Without mentioning less noted places where porcelain has been made in Eng land we must be content to add that manufactures were established in Wales, at Nantagru or Nantagarrow and at Swansea in Glamorganshire. The wares once produced at these places were perhaps equal in quality to any china hitherto made in this coun- try. No expense was spared in procur- ing workmen and materials, and the want of success must be attributed solely to the deficiency of public patro- mage. Since the discontinuance of these establishments the excellence of the ware has been more justly estimated, and prices are readily given by collec- tors much greater than those originally demanded d.-Crockery and Glass JourndI
