UNHIAISRIED LADIES.
INTERESTING ITEMS or ADVICE TO SINGLE
YOUNG LADIES.

The following items of advice TO la
dies remaining in state OF single bless
edness are extracted from the manu-
scripl OF an old dowager:
Ii you have blue eyes, languish.
II black eyes, affect spirit.
If you have pretty feet, wear short
pe;tIcoats.
If you are the least doubtful as TO
that point, wear them long.
If you have good teeth, don't forget
10 laugh now and then.
If you have bad ones you must only
simper.
While you are young, sit with your
face to tho light.
When you are advanced, sit with
your back TO the window.
II you have bad voice, always speak
in low tone.
If it is acknowledged that you have
q fine voice, never speak in a high tone.
If you dance well, dance seldom.
If you dance i'll, never dance at all.
II you sing well, make no puerile e1-
cuses
If you sing indiiierently, hesitate not
a moment when you are asked Tor few
persons are competent of judges Of sing
ing, but every one is sensible oi de
sire to Please.
If in conversation ION think person
wrong, rather hint difference OF opin.
ion, than offer contradiction.
1t is always in your power TO make a
friend by smiles; what folly 10 make eu-
emics by frowns
When you have an opportunity 10
praise, do it with all your heart.
When you are forced TO blame, do II
with reluctance.
If you are cuyions Of another woman.
never show il, but by allowing her eve.
ry good quality and perfection except
those which she really possesses.
If you wish 10 let the world know
that you are in love with particular
man, treat him with iormality, and cyu.
ry one else with ease and freedom.
If you are disposed to be pettish and
insolent, it is better TO exercise your i'll
humor Oh your dog or cat
If you would preserve beauty, Use
early.
If you would preserve esteem, bc
gentle.
If you would obtain power, bc con
descending.
If you would be happy, promote tho
happiness Of others.

in New York Tuesday, involving the
destruction Of the extensive depot and
stables of the Eighth avenue. passenger
railway, and with them about one hun

rescued in all, 100 perisbing in the

beyond appeal. Another cause
Which has intensified this ahena.
ton is the want ofproper wisdom
ana reserve among a conspicuous
body OF democratic statesmen re.
spec'ed, many of them, for their
private qualities, aud popularity
known as the confederate bripa-
dlers. If there is anything that
Is conclusiveIy settled in the
mind OF this people, it is that the
issues OF the civil War shall not
again be put at stake, even in a
parliamentary sense. This deter
lnlnatlon these gentlemen have
not always sufficiently respected,
and the party with which thew
have identified themselves has
consequently, had to suffer in the
public esteem and in the public
apprehensious.
Moreover, the democracy is pe-
cullarly ilnperilled by the mutual
anlmosity OF various factions.
These appear in every political
organization, but they are uncom
monty lively and mischievous in
the democratic party as now con-
stltuted. Hence there ia no
hearty unity in it, while it is al.
most destitute of that political
wisdom which lis gained from ex.
perlence i'll administration. Un.
familiar with power aud long &C.
cnstolned to defeat, it has no
leader whom it follows with en-
thnsiasm, no sage able to give it
peace and concentration, no. can.
dldate to whose nomination q
year hence it looks confidently
forward. Weakened by intestine
quarrels and distracted by intri.
CUES, it tOrgets alike its successes
IN the recent past and its aspira-
tlOns for the future. Where it
ought to be full of courage and
hope, 1t trembles with grouudlesa
alarms, and hesitates aud draws
back as if some dreaded disaster
were close 1T hand. What it
means to do it knows not. Hav
ing recently entered upon a cOn-
t1ict with the executive in defence
ofprinciples essential to any kind
Of a republican government. it
now seems probable that its rep
resentatives will at an early day
fOrswear these principles and
abandon the contest through
sheer imbecllity and pusillani.

| Snch is the situation of each of
these two historical parties. One
of them is desperate; the other

Sarah's Young Men.

Sarah Blake was neither very
Young nor very beautiful, but
her father owned the best and
biggest farm in HoIley, and be-
ing an only child she WAS accOun-
ted an eligible match in thrifty
circles.
Dick Sanders and Ted Brant
were rival SuitOrs for her hand.
She had but to say the word
which OF them she wOuld have;
but it Was just that that made
her heSitate--thtre was so little
choice between them.
Such delays are always danger
ons. While Sarah wavered, un,
certain which to hold and which
to let go, both at once her cap
tives slipped the leash.
They might have have pleaded
that they had done no worse than
others. For, when Jenny Aliens
father came with his beautiful
daughter to dwell in Horley,
there was a general t1ocki,.g OF
| the Swains about the Shrine of the
! idol, and Ted and Dick only fol-
lowed the rest.
Bnt Sarah Blake WAS not the
woman to view lovers detection
| lightly. Nor did 1T weaken heI
resentment to divide it between
two. She had quite enough tol
both; and it being uncertain
which of them she would have
chosen, in melting ont her anger
she gave each the disadvantage
of the doubt.
Jenny Allen was civil and po
lite to all without showing "A pre-
terence to any. Dick Sander:
and Ted Brant were fOremOs
among her admirers. Indeed
the others stood good deal il
! awe of them and hung back, fo
they were a pair of churlish

themselves the question Of whic

triumph for Senator Thurman,

finding that they could not snc>

and gave him the necessary vote.
MIR. Ewing has been especially
prominent as an advocate of the
greenback and imitation policy {;
aud his speeches in Congress on
that subject have not been such
as to commend him to the East

The platform that was adopted is
an expression of thu views Of Mr..

taken as the candidate Of the
Greenback party, which also held
its Convention yesterday in Co.
