Something that happened to me last night

Their dresses for masquerading in.
The ball was lovely, the costumes fine,
And either dancing or iced champagne
Can't say which, but expect the wine
Just little confused my brain.

On the piazza alone with me

Mady worshipped the ground she trod,
Vowed it by all below, above,
Did she return it,-a word, nod,
The fair head dropped in assent, and
Suatchei oil the mask-With rapture kissed
her;

By JOve, old boy, it WAS my sister.

To GIW.s.-NeyeS marry man who
has only bis love for you 10 recommend
him. 1t is very fascinating, bat it does
not make the man. If he is not other
wise what he should be, YOU will never
be happy. The most perfect man who
did not love you should never be your
husband. Bat though marriage without
love is terrible, love only will not do. If
the man is dishonorable to other men, or
mean, or given to any vice, the time will
come when you will either loathe him or
sink to his level. 1t is hard to remember
amidst kisses and praises, there is any
thing else in the world to be done or
thought of but love making; but the
days of life are many, and the husband
must be a guide to be trusted-a COM
panion, a friend as we'll as lover. Many
a girl has married a man whom she knew
to be anything but good, "becalse he
loved her So" And the flame has died
out on the hearthstOne of home before
long, and beside it she has been sitting
one that she could never hope would lead
her heavenward-or who, if she followed
him as a wife should, would guide her
steps to perdton. Marriage is a solemn
thing-a choice for life; be careful in the
choosing.

MAKING BUTTER IN Brazil. - There
are four native modes of making butter in
the Empire of Brazil. The first is by put
ting the milk in commoa bowl and
beating it with spoon, AS you would an
egg. The second by pouring the milk in
a bottle and shaking it until the butter
appears, when it is removed by breaking
off the top of the bottle. The third,
where the dairy is more extensive, is per
formed by filling a hide with the milk,
which is Justify shaken by an athletic
native at each end until butter is pro-
duced. The fourth, which is considered
to indicate vast progress over any Of the
preceding methods, consists in dragging
the hide or leather vessel, filled with
milk, on the ground after n galloping
horse, until it is supposed the butter is
formed. The milk is never strained aud
the butter never washed.-Noo York

BY All Means Be an Editor.

An editor is the happiest being on
earth. He has little or nothing to do,
and his pay is all that heart could wish.
His sanctum, with its Persian rugs and
Turkish carpets, its costly rosewood fur
nture, its magnificent mirrors, Its beau
tiiul pictures, its complete library of
splcndidly- bound books, its silver bell to
summon an attendant, and, in short, with
its everything that human ingenuity can
devise for his comfort and pleasure is a
perfect little paradise, where lie sits or
lounges and reigns young lord, with the
world Of fashion and pleasure at his
feet. And then anybody can be an edi-
tor-no study, no preparation, no brains,
nothing but little money TO start with,
and once started the money pourS in upon
you in steady stream, and the Ch!ct Ia
Dor of your wife is to spend it. As for
the labor of editing Il newspaper, that is
mere moonshinc. \ mere glance AZ the
columns of a newspaper is enough to CON
vince you that it requires NJ labor to edit
it, and less brains. II is certainly Il glo-
rious life, that of an editor;a life of luXu-
riOus case and of elegant leisure life
filed, like that of the young lover in his
first dream OF requlted love, with flutes
and rose leaves and moOnbeams. That
all men are not editors is one of the
straugest things beneath the stars. True,
there must be doctors and lawyers and
merchants and shoemakers and peanut
dealers and the like, and all these callings
must be filled by somebody, but there
are enough to fill them, and why they
don't become editors and lead the life of
opulent princes is thing that staggers us.
But after all it may be mere matter of
taste. 1t may be repugnant to some ma
lures to become editors. The life of ease
and elegance and luxury, and the eXemp-
ton from all care and tolls and debts and
duns, would soon become a bore to him,
and he would spend his nights in dream
ing of ploughs and ptchforks and reap
ing machines, and squander his days in
devising some plan for swapping places
with backsmith's apprentice or astreet-
car drivcr.-LOuisciNe Courier-Journdl.
