do not know until you VI
widen your sphere that there were anye
bars there At all. Do not, then, in IN
moment Of your awakening 10 your
actual condition, beat against them.
Study them patiently; learn Of whose
make they are; who Is responsible for
them; why they are hedged about you
and for what reason they are forged so
tightly.
There is one thing needfUl to sever
them, aud unless you have this do not
put yourselves against them. A firm
determination, coupled with a patient
resolve will gradually release you. The
exercise Of w%ill-pOwer means growth,
and in growing out OF their reach you
lose sight Of their existence.
The hardest trial 20 a woman OF nerv-
Gus energy, and ambition is the daily de.
mand made upon her time by her ac-
quaintances OF the day. Women she
may have met with accidentally, and
been thrown with for an hour or an
evening, who call upon her, ask favors
Of her, try her sadly, aud then depart
to come again, seemingly with the in
tent to get the benefit Of her diligence
and effort. Men who in business deal
ings have learned TO know her, call 20.
settle some triling point, and then
come again because it is agreeable 70
them to do so-never stopping to con-
slider that they are a tax, and often
times a bore, and never so necessary 10
her existence thatthey need stay an hour
to transact a matter that is Of no import
ance to any one but themselves.
A woman should early learn to avoid
f%avors; they cost too dear. A bouquet
of flowers, al evening at the opera, or
an unnecessary kindness, often is paid
for by hours of hard service at entertain
ing, or else by attentions that are unde-
sirable to a woman who, TO grow in
strength, must grow apart, and who, to
succeed, must not be embarrassed by
so-called friends. Learn early the value
Of personal independence; strive to live
above society and aspire to that culture
aud grace which render it unnecessary.
Rejoice in your single heartedness; de-
light in being magnanimous, for a
woman, to be really Independent, mus
be lofty of soul and above the masses In
every moral attribute. Rid yourself of
women who hamper you; avoid as you
would a pestilence, ONE Of vulgar
instincts and ordinary attainments.
Poor society is worse than Solitude to
even less earnest women than yourself.

Going up Stairs.

Young people and elder ones of SUI
perabundant vitality enjoy running up
stairs one, two. three and four steps at
a time. But there are not a few to
whom a long flight of stairs is a terror,
which, when overcome, leaves them
breathless and for the time exhausted.
Such will find that if they go up stairs
slowly, Strengthening each limb before
the other is raised upon a higher step,
very much of the painting at the top
stair will be spared. 1t is as foolish
for a weak person to run up stairs as it
would be to run up a hill of the same
steepness as the stairs. One eason why
women suffer more than men from this
exercise is because they are weighted
down with clothes suspended from the
hips. When the muscles of a woman
are free, unconstrained, and in tone, a
flight of stairs is no serious matter, yet
if her work lies on two or three floors,
she must not calculate to get through
with it as quickly or as easily as can
she who lives on a ground floor, and
not, so to speak, on a side-hill. The
system of fflats' has very much to re-
commend it to housekeepers in this re-
gard, that all the apartments are upon
one level.

A Valuable work

The well-knOwn advertising agents,
Messrs. s. NJ. Pettengill Il Co., OF this
city, have just issued in a handsome
form their Newspaper Directory and
Advertisers Hand Book" for 1877. 1t
is without doubt the most valuable and
trustworthy compilation Of its kind
published in this country, and a work
which no advertiser or newspaper pub
Usher should be without. No fewer
than 1874 newspapers or periodicals
are described, showing the day and
place of publication, character, pub
Usher, circulation in short, all that an
advertiser requires to know regarding
any medium published. Besides the
general list there is q list OF periodicals
by counties, which must be valuable to
those who desire to reach any particu-
lar section of the Continent, and tables
Of daily aud weekly newspapers having
a circulation Of 5000 copies or over, re-
ligious, agricultural, and other class
organs, Two or three striking portraits
of prominent editors are scattered
throughout the volume, which, alto
gether, gives us a capital idea Of the
wealth and variety of American journal
ism, and proves the immense connection
and great business facilities which its
publishers and compilers must have at
their command. - NJ. Y. Scotish-Aner.

Bob NhIts

A correspondent OF the Forest and
Stream says a good word for Bob White,
whose CHEEKY calls upon his namesake
are sometimes interpreted into assur
ance OF More Wet" and when il is
particularly rainy he gives his whistle
another note, which is a promise Of
NO More Wet" Bob Is sometimes
called a quail, but the writer says that
he is no such bird as Brothers HapgoOd
& Evarts have recently imported from
the shores of the Mediterranean. He
adds:
There is physically a wide differ
ence between the two birds, and that
greatly to the advantage of our native
Bob White. The quail proper is not as
large by half as our own bird, nor is
his plumage half so beautiful; his flesh
is dark; and, having no tail TO speak Of,
he compares with u V~irginian part
ridge as would a dung-hill fowl with
one Of Van Wrinkles or Perry Baldwin's
game-cocks. The quail proper is an
immoral little cuss, after the manner of
the Mormons or Mohammedans, taking
as many wives as he can get; and,
worse than the human %polygamist, he
disdains the cares and responsibilities
of paternity. What a noble moral con-
trast does our bird present! He has
but one wife, and all the affections of
his faithful little heart are bestowed
upon the gentle mate won at the risk of
his life in many a hard-fought battle.
And what a model husband Bob White
makes when alive, and what a succu-
lent pie when dead! What grand sport
he affords to the sportsman and what
gustatory delight to the epicure. But
there are other differences between the
birds. The quail proper is as strictly
migratory as the swallow. lie changes
his climate twice a year on wings which
bear him across the broad Mediterra-
mean Sea. on both shores Of which he
is found in great m%ultitudes, whereas
our PerdriS ~rirgiRidNHs is a demonstrating
domestic bird, assoeiating for the
greater part OF the year with his own
family only, the wife of his bosom and
the pledges Of his mutuallOve. Perdrir
does travel from one district 10 another
in search of food or better cover, but
his powers of flight are not equal to
migration across seas and continents,
for he cannot ross over large rivers.
The above are some of the eason for
my reluctance to depart from the South
ern nomenclature and degrade gallant
Bob White into a quail"

Any great movement for good in So
cial life begins at home. 1t begins with
fathers and mothers. The first and
highest duty is to make home cheerful
and attractive. Husband and wife must
do this for each other. Without this,
their mutual affection will dry up. If
they have children, 1t is their duty to
make home sweet and precious to them.
Children with good homes seldom go to
the bad. Girls who have learned to
trust their mothers, in their whole
round of thought, seldom get talked
about. Boys who are made to feel the
strength of a fathers and the tender
ness of = mothers love, seldom run
wild. Their natural love Of fun and
mischief does not bind them over to the
DEVILS service. Pleasant, cheerful,
bright homes, then, are the great de-
mand. They may be poor, but they
can still be pleasant and attractive and
good. The heart and spirit are more
than furniture and dwelling.

Water in Food.

Water is not only an important con-
stituent of food but is the carrier of food
into and through the system Of human
beings and animals. 1t forms more
than two-thirds of the whole animal
body, and'is contained in All kinds of
solid foods rs well as In the beverages.
The following items Of the vegetable
food contain for every one hundred
pounds of substances, water in weights
as follows: Fresh Dat meal, five pounds
Indian meal, fourteen pounds; wheaton

A BOYS CoMPOsITTON on BABts.-
The are four or i've different kinds Of
babies. There i the big baby, the little
baby, the white baby and the poodle
dog, and there T. the baby elephant.
Most Of these babies was born In a
boarding house, 'cept the baby elephant;
/ think he was born on a railroad train,
cause he al!us carries his trunk with
him.
A white baby Is potter nor a ele-
plant baby, but he can't eat so much
hay.
All the babies what | have ever seen
were born very young, specially the
gal babies, and they can't none OF them
talk the United States language.
My father had mean my mother
had a baby once. IL was not an elephant
baby; it was a little white baby; it
coined one day when there was nobody
home; 1t was a funny looking fellow,
just like a lobster.
| asked my father was il q boy or a
girl, and he say he don't know whether
he was a father or a mother.
This little baby has got WI legs, just
like a monkey.
His name il Mariah.
He don't look like my father nor my
mother, but he looks just like my Uncle
Tom cause the little baby amt got no
hair on his head.
One day | asked my Uncle Tom what
was the reason he amt got no hair and
the little baby 'aint got no hair. He
says he don't know, 'cept that the little
baby was born so, and he was a married
man.
One day | pulled a feather out Of the
old ROSTERS tail and | stuck il up the
baby's nose and it Iickled him 30, he al
most died. 1t was only a little bit of a
feather, and didn't see what he wanted
10 make such a fuss about il for. NV
mother said | ought'er be ashamed Of
myself and | didn't get no bread on my
butter for morn a week:
One day the Sheriff come In the house
for to collect a bill Of nine dollars for
crockery. My father says he ''cant pay
the BILL" and the Sheriff, he say, "then
/ take something" and he look around
the room an he seed the little baby
and he say, "Ah, ha! l take this" an
he picked up the little baby, and he
wrap him up In a newspaper and he
take him away to the station house.
Then my mother she commenced to
cry, an my father say, "Hush, Mary
Ann, tha at was all right. Don't you
see how we fooled that fellow? Don't
you see the bill for crockery was for
nine dollars, and the little baby was
only worth two and a half"
1 think I'd rather be a girl not a boy,
cause when a girl gets a whipping she
gets it On her fingers, but when a boy
gets a licking he gets it all over.
L don't like babies very much any,
how, cause they make so much noise.
| lever knew but one quiet little baby,
and he died.-Troy Budget.

1t is n of the most difficult things
in the world to persuade ourselves that
any n can love those whom we our
selves dislike.
We cannot explain the operation of that
sentiment, which creates around the
one object of our life, a halo of life and
beauty, which extends to all animate
and lnanimate nature, and of that other
sentiment, which when we cease to
love, strips the object of our late pas
sion of all its adyentitious charms and
reduces it the ordinary level.
No character will please long which
is uniform. To be always jocose is buff
foonery; always pathetic, silly; al
ways wise, sententious, and always
grave, tiresome.
There as but three ways for a man to
revenge himself Of the censure of the
world; to despise it, to return the like,
or endeavor to live so as to avoid 1t.
The first of these is universally pre-
tended, the last is almost impossible,
and the universal practice is the second.
However many friends you have, do
not neglect yourself. Though you have
a thousand not one Of them loves you
as much as you ought to love yourself.
The only way of not being bored in
company is to say witty things your
self, or sit still and listen to the witty
things of other people.
The wisest of men Is he who has the
the most civility for others.
Words are for women-action for
men.
