TIE ssSILyER RULE."-You all know
the Golden Rule, do unto others as you
would wish them to do unto YOU" Here
is a rule which is almost a part Of the
Golden Rule, because of its value; call it
the ssSiIver Rule. ''-''Think and say all
you can of the good qualities of others;
forget and keep silent concerning their bad
qualities You cannot conceive how
much such course will tighten your own
happiness, and raise you in the esteem of
your companions. Did you ever think any
more of boy or girl because he or she
found fault with others Never call your
schoolmates or playmates ugly or cross to
their faces nor behind their backs. If
they are ugly, or stingy, Or cross, it does
not make them better for you to talk or
think about it, while it makes you to love
to dwell upon the faults of others, and
causes your own soul to grow smaller, and
to become like the foul bird that prefers
carrion for food. Rather tell all the good
you can, and try to think of some good
quality of your mates.

The SOCIETY OF OMEN.-It is better,
wrote Thackeray, for you to pass an even
ing once or twice week in lady's draw
ing room, even though the conversation is
slow, and you know the girls songs by
heart, than in club or tavern, or pit of
a theatre. All amusements of youth to
which virtuous women are not admitted
rely on it, are deleterious in their nature.
All men who avoid female society have
dull perceptions, and are stupid, or have
gross tastes, and revolt against what is
pure. Your club swaggerers. who are suck
ing the butt Of billiard cues all night call
female society insipid. Poetry is uninspir-
ing tc a jockey beauty has no charms for
a blind man; music does not please poor
beast who does not know one tune from
another; but, as pure epicure is scarcely
ever tired of water sauces and brown bread
and butter, protest can sit for a whole
night talking with well regulated, kind
ly woman about her girl Fanny, or her boy
Frank, and like the evenings entertain
ment. One of the great benefits man
may derive from a woman s society, is that
he is bound to be respectful to her. The
habit is of great good to your moral men
depend upon it. Our education makes US
the most eminently selfish men in the
world.

MRS. LOFTY AND I.

Mrs. Lofty keeps a carriage,
So dol;
She has dapple grays to draw it,
None have I;
She'sno prOuder with her coachman
Than ami,
With my blue-eyed laughing baby,
Trundling by.
hide his face less she should see
The cherub boy and envy me.
Her fine husband has white fingers,
Mine has not;
He could give his bride a palace
Mine a cot.
Hers comes home beneath the starlight
No caresses, she;
Mine comes in the purple twilight,
Kisses me-.
And prays that He who turns life's sands
Will hold his loved ones in his hands.
Mrs. Lofty has her jewels,
So have L;
She wears hers upon her bosom,
Inside 1;
She will leave hers at deaths portal,
By and by;
shall bear my treasure with me
When die,
For have love and she has gold
She counts her wealth-mine can't be told.
She has those who love her-station,
None have L;
But have one true heart beside me
Glad ami;
I'd not change it for kingdom,
No not 1;
God will weigh it in His balance,

And then the difference He'll define

fearless Madness.

One of the most curious facts connected
with madness is the utter absence of tears
among the insane. Whatever the form Of
madness; tears are conspicuous by their
absence, as much in the depression OF mel
ancholia or the excitement Of mania as in
the utter apathy of dementia. Inpatient
in lunatic asylum be discovered in tears,
it will be found that it is either patient
commencing to recover, or an emotional
outbreak in an epileptic, who is scarcely
truly insane, while actually insane patients
appear to have lost the power OF weeping;
it is only returning reason which can once
more unloose the fountains of their tears.
Even when lunatic is telling one in fer
vid language how she has been deprived
of her children, or the outrages that have
been perpetrated on herself, her eye is
never even moist. The ready gush of
tears which accompanies the plant of the
sane woman contrasts with the dry-eyed
appeal Of the lunatic. 1t would, indeed,
seem that tears give relief to feeling which,
when pent up, lead to madnes. 1t is one
of the privileges of reason to be able to
weep. Amidst all the misery Of the in
sane, they can find no relief in tears.
