Women's Influence o Social Life.

Men, as a rule, are easily attracted to a.
beautiful face, but still it is an interna
beauty of character by which woman can
exert the greatest amount of influence.
A true minded man, though at first en-
amored 10y the glare of personal beauty,
will soon feel the hollowness of it's charms
when he discovers the lack of beauty in
the mind. lnestimably great is the influ-
ence sweet minded woman may WELD
over those around her. It is to her that
her friends would come in seasons of sor
row or sickness for help and suppolt-one
soothing touch Of her kindly hand would
work wonders on the feverish child, a few
words let fall from her lips in the ear OF
sorrowing sister would do much to raise
the LOAD of grief which is bowling its vic
tim down to the dust in anguish. The
husband comes home worn out with the
pressure of business, and feeling irritable
with the world in general, but when he
enters the cosy sitting and sees the
blaze of the bright fire, his slippers placed
by loving hands in readiness, and meets his
wife's smiling face, hesuccumbs in mo-
ment to the soothing influences which act
as the balm of Gilead on his wounded
spirits that are wearied with combating
with the stern realities Of life. The rough
SCHOOL, boy flies in a rage from the taunts
of his companions to find solaee in his mo-
theirs smile; the little one. full of grief
with its own large trouble. finds haven
of rest on its own mothers breast, and so
one might 60 on with instances which the
influence of sweet-minded woman has in
social life with which she is Connected

CHILDHoOD.--Lett those talk of the mis-
cries Of childhood that will. never knew
misery in mine; and woe to him that makes
the glad heart of infancy sad! He sears
the future bud of promise, he is making
that woeful which God intended to be
glad as the angels in heaven.-The wisest
and the best of men, let them have grown
great, and learned, and honorable as they
might, have always looked back to the
shining days of their early youth, ere care
had made it's nest in the heart, and said
with sigh, ''Oh, that I were boy once
more!" Man IS being that must be pur-
suing some object; the boy in the country
has a thousand objects of beauty and GU
riosity to call forth his attention and ar
dent spirit, and he is happy as the day is
long, at the same time that he is laying up
stores of strength and health for years of
care and grave duties as he grows up. All!
those were the timesl After years we may
be successful and glorious; we may con-
quer difficulties, and dispense good and
achieve genuine honors; we may grasp
power and dwell in the very lap of riches,
but there will never come flowers like those
then gathered; pleasures so pure and ex-
quisite as those then enjoyed; never such
sunshine, never such beauties in air and
earth, in thicket, and wood, and water
never anything SO like Heaven-till Hea-
ven Itself is reached.-Wm. Hoaoitt.

AFTERNOON MEN.-There is a proyerb
which says ':What can be done at any time
is never done." and applies especially to
class who have become slaves to the habit
of procrastination, and the habitual post
poning OF everything that they are not
compelled by necessity to do Immediately.
Now delays are not dangerous to present
prospects, but they are destructive to ul-
innate success. A dilatory man is not to
be depended upon. The slightest pretext
is sufficient for him to disappoint you. If
an employee, the sooner he is discharged
the greater the advantage to the employer.
There are those who may properly be
called afternoon men," They are always
busy getting ready to 60 to work. In the
morning they walk around. carefully in
spect their duties and say: PLENTY to do
to-day. I must go to WORK this afternoonl''
About three O'Clock they survey what they
haven't done, and exclaim: zone thing
and another has prevented me from making
any Roadway to-day. Ill quit, and begin
bright and early in the morning." One day
with them, is simply the the reflection of
another. There Is nothing accomplished in
whole life; and their western sun over
takes them, and finds no preparation for
the wants and infirmities Of age. There
is nothing to look back upon but sauandered
time. One hours exercise in the morning
loosens the muscles of the limbs, sets the
blood dancing in the veins, and fits man
physically and mentally for the days ac-
tivity; while one hours sloth after break
fast produces torpor from which it is al
most impossible to rally.

THE OARD-TABLE.

A STORY THAT TELLS IT'S OWN MORAL
Lydia Dearborn sat alone in her little
sitting room, and her countenance was sad
and responding. She was not over six
and-twenty, and though her face was pale
and wan, yet she was beautiful. A cheer
full fire burned in the CRATE, for it was
winter, and the lamp upon the comfortable
was lighted. for it was evening. She sat
thus, trying to read, when the door was
opened and stranger entered. She star
ted up with fear of thus seeing strange
man enter her apartment unbldden.
''Lydia,,' said the stranger. "don't you
know me?" +.
The young woman started at the sound
of the voice, and the blood rushed to her
brow and temples. She took step for
ward and gazed more sharply into the in
truder's face.
s'James?': she murmured, interrogative-
ly.
'sYes. my sister," he replied. Didn't
you know me?"
Instead of answering in words, Lydia
rushed forward, sank upon her brothers
bosom, and wept for joy.
'And you didn't know me?' said her
brother, with smile, after he had taken
a seat.
"Why, no, James," she replied. "Five
years have altered you wonderfully. But
then that beard all over your face makes a
good deal of difference"
sAn the difference in the world, sister,
said James. 1.-TWO years ago, while my
ship lay at Canton, had my beard all
shaved off, and when / came aboard some
of my own men did not know me at first. .
''Then wish you'd shave it off now."
said his sister, ''for you look more like a
bear than you do like James Barrows.
The brother laughed, and then the con-
versation ran for awhile upon various top
les suggested by the return of the loved
one. James Barrows was now thirty-two
years of age, and had been absent for five
years, during which time he had command
of a fine ship.
'By the way" said the brother, at the
end Of half an hour. II stopped in --
street on my way here, and l saw Kate
Waldron. She told me she heard you say
you wished your husband had never known
me. Did you eyer say SUCH thing as
that ?''
Lydla's eyes filed with tears in a mo-
ment, and deep sob broke from her lips.
Her brother was startled. He moved to
her side, and put his arm about her neck.
.What is it, my sister 7" he asked, anx-
lously.
ALAS, James, I will tell you" she re-
piled ''But first let me assure you that
I did not mean exactly what SAID TO Kate,
You remember about FIVE years ago, when
you used to tell me such stories about the
gambling scenes, that Ambrose asked you
to teach him to play 'picqust, as you called
it. You taught him the game, ana for
one or two evenings you went win MIN 20
some social card parties
"Yes, yes-I remember all that" said
James,

MILK RoLLs.--This is Miss Dodds' re-
cipe: To make milk rolls 1 require one
pound of flour, one ounce of butter, one
ounce of sugar, one teaspoonful of yeast
powder. a pinch Of salt and nearly pint
of milk. First put the flour in large
basin. add pinch Of salt, half an ounce Of
sugar, an ounce of butter, and mix well
together, and add as nearly pint of milk
as will make a dry dough, the dryer the
better it rises, turn quickly. out on the
board and knead as quickly as possible, for
the yeast powder must be brought under
the action of che fire as soon as possible. or
it will not act properly. After the dough
is kneaded cut it into six or eight pieces.
and draw each piece into long shape and
cut it twice across the top; get this into a
very hot oven at once in a slightly Toured
baking tin; bake for fifteen minutes; then
take out and brush with beaten whites Of
egg OF milk; dust over them half an ounce
Of sugar and return to the oven for one
minute. Milk rolls are best served hot.

EXHAUSTION OF TALK.-How long the
lamp of conversation holds out to burn be-
tween two persons only is curiousIy set
down in the following passage frOm Count
Gutallonier's account of his imprison-
ment:
II am an old man now; yet by fifteen
years my soul is younger than my body!
Fifteen years 1 existed, for did not live
it was not life-in the selfsame dungeon.
ten feet square. During six years had a
companions; during nine I was alone. I
never could rightly distinguish the face of
him who shared my captivity in the eter-
nal twilight of our cell. The first year we
talked necessarily together; we related
our past lives, our joys forever gone, over
and over again. The next year we COM
municated our thoughts and ideas on all
subjects. The third year we had no ideas
to communicates; we were beginning to
lose the power of reflection. The fourth,
at the interval of month or so, we would
open our lips to ask each other if it were
indeed possible that the world went on as
gay and busting as when we formed a
portion of mankind. The fifth we were
silent. The sixth, he was taken away, /
never knew whether to execution or to
liberty; but was glad when he was gone
even solitude was better than the dim
vision of that pale, vacant face. After
that was alone; only one event broke in
upon nine years. vacancy. One day, it
must have been a year or two after my
companion left me, the dungeon door was
opened and voice-whence proceeding I
knew not-uttered these words: by Or
der of his Imperial Majesty I intimate to
you that your wifesaied year ago. Then
the door was shut and heard no more;
they had flung this great agony in upon
me, and left me alone with 1t again.

THE KNOT OF BLUE AND GRAY.
Upon my bosom lies
A knot of blue and gray;
You ask me why? Tears fill my eyes
AS low to you say:
had two brothers once
Warm hearted, bold and gay;
They left my side-one wore the blue,
The other wore the gray.
One rode with Stonewa1l and his men
And joiHed his fate with Lee
The other followed Sherman's march
Triumphant to the sea.
Both fought for what they deemed the right;
And died with sword in hand,
One sleeps amid Virginias hills
And one in Georgia's sand.
The same sun shines upon their graves,
My love unchanged must stay;
And so upon my bosom lies
The knot Of blue and gray,
