ABOUT WOMEN are a few Of
the things that men have said for and
against women. Hipponax, the Greek,
says: IA woman gives her husband
two days Of happiness-that on which
be marries her, and that on which be
buries her - Codrus, a Latin writer,
says: There are fewer stars in heaven
than trickeries in woman's heart. J"
Chanfort, the French satiriSt, says ::
Marriage follows love, like smoke after
fre." Alpbonso Karr writes 1.-The
friendship of two women is never more
than plot against a third" Madame
de Girardin says: The rarest thing
in France, next to stupid woman, is
generous one" Shakespeare says: "a
woman's fitness comes by fits" Pope's
familiar line reads: Every woman is
at heart rake" Emerson says: "Wo-
men see through Claude Lorraines
.Rochefoucauld, declares Women can
less easily surmount their coquetry than
their passions Let US take from the
mouth the bitter taste left BY the FORE
going aloes by few more polite quo
tations: i" There are but two fine things
in the world" says Malherbe, "women
and roses" Lessing exclaims: '.Wo-
man is the masterpiece ofthe universe.
Bourbon says: The pearl is the image
of purity, but woman is purer than the
pearl" Thackery writes: "A good
woman is the loveliest flower that blooms
under heaven" Balzac says: Even
the errors Of woman spring from her
faith in the good" Voltaire declares
''All the reasonings of men are not
worth one sentiment of women" Lam
artine asserts that Women have more
heart and moro imagination than men"
Otway exclaims 20 woman J lovely
woman! Nature made thee to temper
man; we had been brutes without you"
To which Mark Twain adds, "But for
you we should be nothing, for we should
not be here "

SPRING HAS COME.

Now Spring proclaims the skies her own
A Vernal robe o'er earth is thrown;
The sun, all beaming, smiles o'erhead,
And brooks rejoice that Winters fed;
The violets, on forest edges,
Salute the hawthorn in the hedges;
And faithful swallow, on feet wing,
Herald the advent Of the Spring
The Easter daisies nod their heads;
The bees emerge from waxen beds
Blue-birds and cuckoos, on sweet gales,
" I'm choral songs aWHKe TTt watts
The tortoise thaws, and butterflies
Air their fine wings aeath April skies
The reign Of Winter has gone by
Spring dons her rich embroidery
Now maidens pluck wild pasture roses;
Now children gather roadside posies
The sparrow, robin, finch and wren,
With warblings fill each lane and glen;
The murmuring streams, like fairy bells,
Dance tinkling through the wooded dells I;
And blithesome insects and glad beasts,
Keep not the Lenten fasts, but feasts
0, breath Of Spring from Ger the lea
Thou bringest newer life to me
Thou whispereth low, sweet tales Of bliss,
And soft as fragrance is thy kiss
We welcome thee, bright floral Queen
Rich thy attire and glad thy mien -
Bright messenger from courts above
rhe home of Spring, and deathless love

THEY were returning from a moon
light excursion to Rockaway. The sea
was quite rough and the little steamer
rose and fell, with every pulsation of
the great deep, like the hustle of a
stormy woman After studying the
sky and ocean for about an hour in
silence, he turned to her and said =
Dear Georgana, you will be mine :?
You will give me your band and heart?"
"Oh, Alfred" she answered, turning
deadly pale, "I'd rather give you my

ONE THOUSAND BOYS WANTED -
Men are wanted. So they are. Bul
boys are wanted-honest, manly, no.
BILE boys. Such boys will make the de-
sired men. Some one has declared
and truly. that these boys should pos
sess ten points, which are thus given
1. Honest. 2 Intelligent. 8 Active.
4, Industrious. s. Obedieut. 6. Steady
Z. Obliging 8 Polite. 9. Neat 10
Truthful. One thousand first rate
places are open for one thousand boys
who come up to the standard. Each
boy can suit his taste as to the kind Of
business he would prefer. The places
arc ready in every kind of occupation
Many of them are already filed by boys
who lack some most important points,
but they will soon be vacant, because
the boys have been poisoned by read
ing bad books, such as they would not
dare show their fathers, and would be
ashamed to have their mothers see. The
impure thoughts suggested by these
books will lead to vicious acts, the boys
will be ruined, and their places must be
filled. Who. will be ready for one of
these vacancies? Distinguished law
ysrs, useful ministers, skillful physi-
clans, successful merchants, must all
soon leave their places for somebody
else to gil Que by one they are re-
moved by death. Mind your ten points,
boys; they will prepare you to step into
vacancies in the front rank. Every man
who is worthy to employ boy is look
ing for you if you have the points. Do
not fear that you will be overlooked.
A young person having these qualities
will shine as plainly as a star at night.

train the eye to see all the bright places

also train the eye to rest on the gloomy

the better education. Life is too short
