ures for which they have not the least
taste, only because they are called by
that name. They often mistake so to-
tally as to imagine that debauchery. is
pleasure. You must allow that drunk
enness, which is equally destructive to
body and mind, Is a fine pleasure. Gam
ing, that draws you into thousand
scrapes, leaves yon penniless aud gives
you the airs and manners Of an outra-
geous mailman, Is most exquisite pleas
ure; Is 1t not? AS to the running after
women, the consequences Of that vice
are only the loss Of ones nose, the total
destruction of health, and not unfre-
quently, the being run through the
body. M
II. The true pleasures of a gentle
man are those Of the table, but within
the bounds of moderation; good compa-
ny, that Is, people Of merit; moderate
play, which amuses, without an inter-
ested interview; and sprightly, gallant
conversations with women of fashion
and sense.
IS. Virtue and learning, like gold,
have their intrinsic value; but If they
are not polished they certainly loose II
great deal Of their lustre and even pol
ished brass will pass upon more people
than rough gold.
10. Those who deserve good char
aeter, ought TO have the satisfaction of
knowing that they have it, both as re-
ward and an encouragement.
20. have often said, and do think,
that Frenchman, who, with a fund of
virtue, learning and good sense, has the
manners and good breeding of his coun-
try, is the perfection of human nature.
81. The knowledge to be acquired
should not be confined to books; but
should comprehend the great knowl-
edge of the world, still more necessary
than that of books; in truth, they assist
one another reciprocally; and no man
has either perfectly, who has not both.
The knowledge of the world is only to
be acquired in the world and not in a
closet. Books alone will never teach il
to you; but they will suggest many
things to your observation, which might
otherwise escape you; and your own OBJ
servations upon mankind, when COM
pared with those which you will find in
books, will help you to fix the true
point.
~. Almost all people are born viii
all the passions, to certain degree
but almost every man has one prevail
ing one, to which the others are subor
dinate. Search every one for that pas
sion; pry into the recesses Of his heart
and observe the different workings o
the same passion in different people
and when you have found out the pre-
vailing passion Of any man, remembe
never to trust him where tina
passion is concerned. Work upon hin
by it, if you please; but be upon you
guard against 1t, whatever prof ession
!, he may make you.

The Boston Post prints a bright
picture, as follows: "The facto-
ries are generally resuming or making
ready to resume work, and If the foreign
market could be still more rapidly ex-
tended by intelligent legislation their
prospects would improve at more
speedy pace. But 1t Is all certain to
come right in time. Even real estate,
which is the last to rally, feels the effect
Of the revlving trade impulses and
improves its figures and pre-
tententions together. We have reached
stage, in fact, at which further move
ment Is possible in but one direction.
Everything must now 60 forward. The
country is evidently about to enter on a
career Of prosperity whose splendor'
have hardly yet been imagined"

Arrangement OF Rooms.

Give your apartments expression
character, Rooms which mean moth
ing are cherries indeed. Study light
and shade, the combination and ar
rangement Of drapery, furniture and
pictures. Allow nothing to look iSo-
late, but let everything present have
an air to sociability. Observe a room,
Immediately after a number Of per-
sons have LEFT it, and then as you ar.
range the furniture, disturb as little
as possible the relative positions Of
chairs, ottomans and sofas. Place
two or three chairs in conversation
al attitude in some CHEEKY corner, an
ottoman within an easy distance of a
sofa, chair near your stand Of stero-
scopic views Of engravings, and one
where good light will fall on the
book you may reach from the table.
Make little studies Of effect which
shall repay the more than usual OBJ
server, and do not leave il possible
for one to make the criticism which
applies to so many homes even OF
wealth and elegance--"6ne carpets,
handsome furniture, few pictures,
and elegant nothings--but how drea
y." The chilling atmosphere is felt
at once, and we cannot divest our
selves of the idea that we must main
tain a stiff and severe demeanor to
accord with the spirit Of the place. =
Make your homes, then, so cosy and
cheerful that IL we visit you may be
joyous aud unrestrained, and not feel
ourselves out Of harmony with our
surroundings.

The Violet.

The Violet.
Prom the German OF Goethe.
Lonely and sweet violet grew
The meadow woods among.
One morn a rosy shepherd maid,
With careless heart and idle tread,
Came by,
Came by,
The meadow lands and sung.
"Ah," said the violet, "would were
Some stately garden flower!
That might gathered be and pressed
One little hour to her sweet breast.
All, me!
All, me!
Only one little hour!"
On came the rosy shepherd lass,
With heart that idly beat,
And crushed the violet In the grass.
: 1t only said, "How sweet
How sweet ~ 1t said, with fainting moal
"If / must die, TO die alone
For her,
For her
To die at her dear feet"

A Disguised Official.

Bart Derham is disguised and
threatens TO resign his Office of Dep
uty Constable. A week ago last
Sunday evening he received a tele-
gram from Aurora advising him to
keep a sharp lookout for Bill pearce,
who had just broke Jail. Bart stayed
up all that night, hoping that the
fellow might come this way, but as
he did not Bart had sleepless night
for his pains. Ever since, though he
has been on the watch, every night,
from dark until or 9 o'clock, moi
daring to leave the main street,
he has not run against anybody who
even looks like Pearce, and he says
that this thing is getting monoto.
nous as well as dangerous, and mas
much as there wouldn't be any mon.
ey for him in Pearce's capture he is
not going to run the risk of freezing
to death for nothing. In future he
will turn in early.

Mrs. WOstell in Oregon.

Mrs. Thomas Wostell, of Sutro,
has been heard from. She is in Port
land, Oregon. Her husband, it will
be remembered, died of pneumonia
few weeks ago, leaving his four
children without means of support,
and no relatives to look after and
provide for them. Hon. Levi Lamb,
one of the Assemblymen-elect, has
since taken care Of them; but his
means do not warrant him in assum-
ing the responsibility of raising and
educating them. He therefore wrote
the facts to Mrs. Wostell, who will
probably come after her children.
