A SINGULAR TAsTE.-There is nothing
romantic about the Indian squaw of real
life, however she may shine in romance
and poetry. They eat great deal of
food, II they can get it, and are not fas-
udtous. Some time since, while at Win
ona, | was lcisurely walking down street
to pass away the time, when my attention
wa. attracted 10y an Indian squaw
ana her pappoose. Prompted by curiosi-
NY, watched her movements, and AS she
entered store, followed. Imagine my
surprise TO see her purchase half a pound
OF rancid butter, and forthwith proceed
to feast upon 1t, ca,ingit clear, and using
her fingers In lieu OF knife or spoon
Now aud then she would give dainty
handful to the "pappsosibus," who ate il
mos. grecdily. Indeed, they seemed to
relish II rs heartily as an Esquimsux
would his whale blubber.

HARMLESS RIVALS. - Few men ever
forget their old loves, even after they are
comfortably married to and settled with
the new love. Women vary, even in
matter supposed to be so common to them
all as jealousy; but sensible woman
will regard her husbands old loves as the
least dangerous portion of his acquain-
lance. 1t has been said, that no one ever
loves twice. That may be doubted. But
il is pretty certain that no one ever loves
the same person twice. Ashes Weld no
flame; new fuel must be added TO pro-
duce that result. Old loves cannot be
new ones, since the heart never travels
over precisely the same ground second
time. A man may cherish tender SEN
timent tor an old love for good many
years. or even through life, provided
either that he continues TO see her ever
and anon, or never see her again at all.
We must confess that it is rather irving
to the maintenance of tender feeling, for
an old love, after quitting her in the mid
summer OF her charms, TO meet her again,
Tor the first time, after many years, in
the plump autumn of her decay, bristling
IN artificial corn flower, and much at
tached TO her treasure of a cook, whom
she would not part with for worlds. The
shock is too sudden and disastrous TO
sentiment. 1t is wise, therefore, to keep
seeing ones old loves periodically, if one
does not want to experience painful
contrast, which may, possibly, excite the
suspicion in our mind, that we are as
much changed to our old loves, as our
old loves are to us.

Train up a Child in the Way He
Should Go.

There were many ideas entertained by
the Puritan settlers of New England that
happily were not bequeathed to those who
came after them, but in fixing proper re-
lations between parents'and children, and
in parental government generally,it would
have been better to have preserved some
of the inflexibility of discipline that dis
tinguished them. The youth of the pres
ent have their own ways too much. No
obedience or respect is exacted from them
by father or mother in many instances,
and they grow up selfish, over bearing and
sometimes dangerous.
The case of the boy in Maine who a
year or 50 ago killed his father because
he was angry with him is probably ia
miliar to all. The other day father in
New York was obliged to complain Of
his son on account of the boys repeated
theits. When the youth had been SEN
fenced he turned to his father and told him
that as soon as he got out of Jail he would
elbow the top of his head off" a few
days since young man in high station
in Brooklyn tried to murder his wife.
He was neither intoxicated nor insane.
The only trouble was that he had always
been permitted to have his own way, and
the groove of selfshness and petty tyran-
nv to which he had been allowed to shape
himself led but in one direction, and he
considered any means-even shot-guns
and Observation-Disclosures in reveng
ing himself upon those who opposed in
the slightest his wishes or course of life.
Children need checks, direction and
good influences. A well-governed child
is in the grand majority of cases sure to
grow into respectable man or woman,
but the noblest natures may be blighted
unless the weeds of unframed propensity
are kept down.

The photograph, which opens up an
entirely new vista in the field of science,
is now an established success, and al
ready multitudinous means of applica-
ton to the practical uses of life are be-
ing suggested. Prof. Arnold, of the
University of the City Of New York, in
his lecture at Chickering Hall last week,
gave a description of the celebrated talk
ing machine constructed by Prof. Faber,
of Vienna, which was simply repro
duction of the natural organs-the ma
chine having throat, an india-rubber
tongue and lips, which had to be changed
to suit different classes of sounds, and
all the vocal organs as near as possible.
The phonograph is constructed upon en-
tirely different principles, and is far sim
pier and more available. One of its
singularities is that the speed with which
the apparatus is turned determines the
pitch of the voice. If turned very slow
ly a soprano voice becomes a deep bass;
if very fast the bass vibrations are printed
very near together and, reproduced, gives
US a piping treble. Therefore, to obtain
a uniformity of speed the employment of
clock work has been suggested. What
an invention for lovers! Now the un-
consciously prophetic words, "Thou art
so near and yet SO far may be practical
ly verified Would it not be well, also,
for married lovers to record their court
ship and honeymoon prattle for future
referencel No need of being any longer
afraid of burglars; one may fire off a
gun at the photograph, and in the dead
hour of night that useful machine would
fire off, at the burglars. Also it intro
duces new material for intrigue, more
striking and available than forgery or
ventriloquism or any of the threadbare
agents used 10y novelists heretofore

The Earl of Derby.

He is described as always busy. In the
intervals of the greatest cares OF State,
he plunges into local business with the
eagerness of a man whose capacity for
getting through work is, earnestness ex-
cepted, his most remarkable characteristic:
As he rises from his writing table, and
stands between the visitor and the light,
the traits of the Stanley race are thrown
into strong relief-the intellectual fore
head, the apparently sunken eyes, the
firm, heavy jaw, and the large, flexible
mouth. His greeting is brief but courte-
Gus, and rather in the ceremonious tone
of the last generation than the off-hand
style of the present. At his magnificent
country-seat of Knowsley his life is
scarcely less laborious than in London.
Except when walking in the park-more
for exercise than pleasure - or when
indulging in the rare relaxation OF days
shooting, he is perpetually at work.
Buried in books and papers, he but rarely
lifts his eyes to the beautiful prospect of
wood and water, flow beds and shrub
berries, spread before the window of his
snug retreat. Endowed with mental fac
ulties of high order, and with an excel
lent speaking voice, Lord Derby has,
throughout his career, never quite sue
ceeded in shaking off nervous diffidence
which at times approaches the gravity of
disease. When suffering from severe
attack of this constitutional malady, he
finds enunciation difficult, and pronounces
his words with obvious effort, the effect
being that-to use ahomely expression
of "a tongue too large for his mouth"

mcrcifuI Providence, coAes with
his report bearing words more con

Two months ago last Saturday the
fever first appeared. A stampede
followed, and the pine lands were
sought for refuge. a week and all
looked promising, and Il few OF the
refugees returned to join the small
band of brave hearts that knew
not ~falter; but, alas, twas not thus
to end, for the stern monster again
began his work of death, and many
strong and young hearts upon the
altar of the sacrifice bled-mother
and babe, father and child.
The disease was at first confined
to the unacclimated, but as ma
terial exhausted the spre; d began
among the citizens, but of u milder
type, and our own dead are few,
but the graveyard holds the dead
of others not here to shed the tear
over the resting place Of the stran-
ger.
Brave hearts and tender hands
have sought and alleyiated the
wants of the needy. Drawer hearts
never palpitated, as was truly and
heroically displayed during the
past two months; ready and will
ing should suffering humanity need
their assistance. IT'S not tor us,
yet, to write their names in verses.
To the east stood the forts of a
rigid quarantine, to the west
stretched "A space OF affection, to

health bearing breath among us to
drive away the terrible disease
which has carried off such a multi
tude all over our Southern land, the
spirits Of our people will be revived,
and all will feel more hopeful and
start again to business with renew

While it is a fact that we have
had in this latitude two frosts,
we do not think the cold has been
sufficient to effectualIy kill out the
disease, yet it will, to u great ex-
tent, check the progress of the

few more days the cold may be
sufficient to entirely wipe Bronze

In the latitude north of Vicksburg

to believe the fever will not spread
any more, yet there will be a few
more cases for a fortnight to come,

to create any great alarm. We
might safely assert that with the
opening of November the disease
