Engaging Manners.

There are thousand pretty, on

son may put on, without running the
risk Of being deemed either affected
or foppish. The sweet smile, the
quiet, cordial bow, the earnest moye-
mcnt in addressing friend, or more
especially n stranger, whom one may
recommend to our good regards, the
inquiring glance, the graceful atten-
tion which is SO captivating when
united with self.possession--lhese
will insure us the good regard Of even

tain softncss Of manner which should

almost entirely compensates for lack

Friends.

People who have warm friends are
healthier and happier than those who
have none. A single real friend is O
treasure worth more than gold or pro-
cious stone. Money can buy many
things good and evil. All the wealth
in the world could not buy friend
or pay you for the loss of one. 81

me happy, ,"Haslitt writes, "but want
ing that, have wanted everything,
and again, my heart shut up in a pri-
son Of rude clay, has never found,
nor will it find, heart TO speak to-"
We are the weakest of spepdthrits If
we let one push away another or if
we hold aloof from one for petty
jealousy or Needless slight or rough
ness. Would you throw away a dia-
mond because it provoked you? One
good friend is not to be weighed
against the jewels of the earth.

a Georgia Girls Love.

A romantic marriage took place at
Marietta, Ga, recently. Mr.. Hunt
ley, of Lagrange, and Miss Richdrd.
son, of Marietta, had been betrothed
for long time, Through the opposi-
ton of her parents, it is said, she
broke their engagement and engaged
herself to Marietta gentleman.
She was to have married that night,
the trosscau and all being ready.
Huntley, hearing Of the approachins {
wedding went TO Marietta and plead
ed his old cause. She would not
yield, and he had gone to the depot
to leave, when note was handed
him. This stated that she had re-
Tented and would marry him. He
remained over, eloped with her to
Atlanta and married there. All the
parties stand high in society. The
affair created much excitement.

An lndian's Grit.

A short time ago a young Chlppe-
wa hunter was shooting squirrels in
the woods that border Lake Huron
near Penetanguischene, Ont, when
by some means large blighted pine
fell upon him, knocking him down
and crushing his leg, which was frac-
tui cd in two places. He could not
rise-he could not remove the tree
which was lying across his broken
leg. He was far from the probability
Of passing aid, and to lie there and
starye TO death in agony seemed all
that was left TO him. In his dilemma
with all the fortitude and promptness
of romance, he took out his knife, cut
off his own leg, bonpd it mp with his
sash, dragged himself along the
ground to his canoe, and padded
himself home to his wigwam on dis
tant island. There the care Of his
wounds was completed, and the man
is still alive.

At Port Huron, Mich, terrible
accident occurred, the victim being
Mrs. Adam Hclmcr, who, with her
husband, resides at Union and Tenth
Streets. At eleven o'clock in the
night AIRS Hell was awaken by
the noise Of burglars in the house.
MIR. Hclmcr told his wife to keep
quiet. He then seized an army mus.
ket lying in the BEDROOM and went to
another part of the house on search
for the iptrpders. Meanwhile, his
wife arose and went to q different
part of the house. When the hus-
band returned lie thought he saw an
intruder in the closet and fred, but to
his most sorrowiul surprise found the
intruder to lie bis wife. The whole
charge from the musket entered Mrs.
llelmer's right side, causing fatal
wound. When AIr. IIclmer discover

Hints on Matrimony.

No woman will he likely to dispute
with us, when We assert that marriage
is her destiny. a man may possibly
fill up some sort Of an existence with
out loving; but woman with moth
ing 10 love, Cherish, care for, apd
minister to, is an anomaly in. the
universe, an cXistance without an OBJ
ject. II is rs natural for woman to
haye some one TO look to for protcc-
lion, some one to look to for advice
aud assistance, as 10 breathe, With
out it no woman was or eyer can be
happy. 1t is the want of bcr nature,
apd nothing can satisfy her heart
with such void untitled. Now, with
the exception of some occasional ir-
rcgularitics in the relative proportions
Of the scxcs, produced hy circum-
stances, such as the settlement Of
new countries, there is no rcason why
every man should not have wife,
and every womah u husband and
this would easily he brought about by
the exercise Of more common sense
and less ambition. Each sex is look
ing up for something above it's own
sphere. The son Of an industrious
and successful mechanic must he q
professional man or IL merchant, inr
stead Of following in his fathers foot
steps; and this is folly the first.
When lie looks for n wife, the ncat,
industrious daughter Of mechanic,
like his father, is not good enough for
him lie must make love to some fine
lady who is one age in advance, that
is, Dor grandfather was mechanic
instead Of her father, very aristo-
cratic distinction. On the other hand,
the girl who works for her living,
earning it by her honest labors, would
not dcign TO encourage the addresses
of laboring man she would set her
cap for Il gentleman, forsooth. The
mechanics daughter, educated on her
fntlcr's earnings to be fine lady, en-.
cohsagcs tho attentions of set of
tops and danglers, who drive honest
men away from her in disgust, and she
becomes the victim OF some sorry Or
| -, : u IL
shallow; fool, Now thisiis all wrong
deplorably, WretclledlY wrong. Girls
should Know That men, superior to
themselves in education and position,
do no. always associate with them
for good. hIen should know that by
marrying girls educated in habits of
life above their fortunes, they are not
likely to have good wives. A little
SOUND sense will enable any man to
sec that it is better TO have wife
grateful for more than she expected
than grumbling at less. 1t is delight
ful going up tle hill Of fortune but
horrible, jolting, aggrayating work
to come down.

The Wife,

1t is not unfrequcntly that a wife
mOurns over the alicuated affection
of her husband, when she has made
no effort herself to strengthen and
increase his attachment. She thinks
because he once loved her he ought
always to love her, and she ncglects
those attentions which first engaged
his heart. Many wife is thus the
cause of her own neglect and sorrow.
