Precious Girls.

An oid-fashioned notion that the SIM
plest plan is to bring all the young peopla
together, and let them amuse themselves.
turns out TO be q complete failure. This
IS not ut all what is expected, and even
their parents are disappointed with the
hasco. That an elaborate toilet should end
IN Dlindnan's butts intolerable; and so a
children party only differs from full
dress ball in the height of the dancers.
The little lady starts for her nights dis
sipation when she ought to be in bed, and
has the cares of maturity early upon her
mind, lest her card should not be filled
up IN the evening. She reproduces the
talk OF her mothers boudoir in the ball
room, and can criticise the dress of her

between the dreamy pleasures of q waltz
and the more athletic enjoyment of a
"supper ret" and can firt with an air of
ingenious simplicity which might suggest
very valuable hints to her elder sister.
She has a poor opinion of square dances,
knows that her dress may get torn in the
last figures of the lanciers, and finds one
OF E" the bores OF dancing quadrille is
that the figures are always changing.
With sedulous care. she is quite up to
the method by which an undesirable
partner may be courteously avoided, and
is careful to see how the gentleman
dances before she permits his autograph
on her card. When the evening is over,
she knows she has utilized her time, and
has engaged herself three or -four deep
for the next children's ball at some
nelghbors house. A dance in January is
not forgotten in the ensuing month. and
her correspondence on the I4th of Febru-
airy has reference to some remembered
events in the nights entertainment. She

4 New Innustry for Woman.


New York Graphic.
The most destructive foe of the burglar
appears to be the American woman.
Scarcely day passes without the an
nouncement of an encounter Of this kind,
in which the deteriorating professional
comes out second best. Sometimes he is
caught with his hand under window, as
in the Pennsylvania case, and held there
till the distant and somnolent policeman
is reused and brought to the scene of
action; sometimes he has his head knock
ed oifon the spot, as in the case of a well
greaved spinster of Elgin, who knew how
TO WELD the deadly fiat-iron; sometimes
he is put toignominious flight, as in AS
toria; sometimes he Is enticed into
rough-and- tumble scrimmage, side hold,
best three in five, and laid out breathless
on the floor and taken into custody, as
recently by Mrs. Kydd, in this city;
sometimes he is tied neck and heels to
bed post, as in Coyington; sometimes ne
is merely dragged supinely around the
house and kicked off the front steps by
the contemptuous matron, as in one of
the Berkshire towns last week and some
times he is chased up and down stairs
and shot in various portions of his an
aiomy, like the chap in Rochester by Mrs
Hopkins.
We may be mistaken but it seems 10
us that this suggests new employment
for women. Her sphere has been some
what too circumscribed, hitherto on ac-
count of the willingness of able bodied
males to take all the lat offices and ac-
cept all the high salaries; but there seems
to be development of generosity on the
part of men ia conceding to women the
privilege of quelling the burglar. Hus-
bands and fathers magnanimously stand
back and give the woman chance. 1t is
creditable to the alleged sterner sex. 1t
adds one more to the Lucrative vocations"
which Mrs. Livermore shows are opening
to women. 1t indicates relaxation of
masculine jealousy and greed. Perhaps
the captures thus tar made have not been
poor; but it is obvious that wealthy burg
lars with their clothes full OF money and
jewelry will be occasionally caught by
the industrious sentnels in ghostly
and the brave sisters will then
receive their reward.

A Russian GirPs Revenge.

The recent dismissal by the Emperor
of Russia of his sanguinary Chief of
Police Trepoff, recalls the unds he
received last winter from i;.s pistol of
the young girl, Vera Zasouliteh, who

amid frantic applause in the court. Last
June TEepoff visited the prison for polit-
ical prisoners in st. Petersburg, and in
spected the inmates, who, according to

he. Al this moment two iailors seized
him, laid him upon bench, took off
his garments, tied him, and administer

left the unfortunate man 1utileted, in

Jim Lanes Last Message.

You see.that Jim Lane of the Office
Had the keeping at Panamar Creek;
As fine and as noble a fellow
As ever translated the "cliek."
We were chums in the army together
His signal knew like book,
And his nervous crisp manner OF working
A message could not be mistook.

When we laid him away in the clay
Toe boys the whole length of the line here
Made a purse for the widow an S"chiek,
Bat we missed Jimmy Lane and his signal,
And the sharp nervous way of his click.
Wen, one midnight or near 1t last season,
was timing the mail from the West,
Sweeping on through the long narrow val
Like thunderbolt doing its best, 50
TIL the signal came from the last station,
And ! knew in ten minutes the mail
Would be past me and climbing the grad

Between here aud Cumberland vale
When quick on the heels of the message
Came a signal with sharp, nervous click;

Where found that some wretch had been

And a spike driven in the timber
To render my efforts in vain.

Ever worked as did that night
believe other hands were helping,

But that spike was pulled out in some man

And the switch-lever swung to its place
Just as past swept the frain on her metal,

In the last flying coach of the train

Looking out through bright-lighted
