Be Young winnie You Can.
[spripgfield Republican

When girls midway in their teens throw
off their natural, girlish habits and attire,
don long skirts, shoot up their hair, affect the
airs and dress of young women, they would
often be surprised to know what their elders
really think Of the improvements. One such
miss went to the depot recently to meet an
aged friend of the family, and was surprised
to find herself not recognized upon greeting
the pon ysts she me- t spaps from w the
isn't Maria, is it7" Certainly; don't you
think look better than / did last summer
when you were here?" "No," replied the
honest soul, looking the girl over, ito tell the
truth, don't. Go home and let down your
hair and be young while you can, for it will
not be many years before you win be glad to
have people take you for = girl"

other, shere is cast of Colonel Burr" "And
what Of that2" was the; reply. .Ahl my
DEAR" said the old lady in an Undesirable
tone, ssyou never knew Colonel Burr. met
him often in society, and am sure he was
the most lovable man ever met"
Some assertions in an article on the death
of Colonel Burr, which appeared in the New
York Times during last summer, are
prejudiced and untrue. The article speaks of
his terrible outbursts of profanity while on
his DEATH bed, and asserts that he died de-
serted by his friends and bereft of human
sympathy. Now happen to know that the
reverse of this is true. Colonel Burr died,
as you know, at the Continental Hotel, Port
Richmond, Staten Island. His disease was
paralysis, comparatively painless malady.
Judge Ogden Edwards and wife, own cousins
of Colonel Burr, were then living in the old
Dougan Manor House, on the island (which,
by the way, has history and devoted them
selves assiduously to the care of their aged
relative, and his friends in New York were
unremitting in their attentions.
During these last days Burr lay every day
in a sort of stupor until about o'clock in the
afternoon, when he would awaken active and
vivacious, attend to his business affairs, read
the newspapers, and receive such visitors as
might call. Many did call, and among them
! Rev. DR.. Vanpelt, of the Dutch Reformed
church on the island, who was frequently at
his bedside. Colonel Burr treased his visitor
with the respect and courtesy due his calling,
and the doctor was much pleased with him.
They conversed freely on religious topics,
and Colonel Burr expressed his entire belief
in the essential doctrines of Christianity At
the end he died as TRANQUILITY as child sinks
into slnmber
In conclusion, allow me to notice a very
pleasant and mysterious story told by Mr..
Parton in his Life of Aaron Burr" concern
ing the erection of Colonel Burr's tombstone
in the Princeton College churchyard. Mr..
Parton says that this stone was not erected
until some time after the colonel's death, and
then under cover of darkness, and that no
one knows to this day whose was the hand
that performed the friendly act. But this
story is untrue. The facts of the case are
these: When Colonel Bur-'s estate came to
be settled there was found a large number of
bad debts, and some of these, after the estate
had passed out eff the executors hands, were
paid, and the executors came to Judge Ed
wards to know what should be done with the
money. He advised them to use it in the
purchase of suitable monument to Colonel
Burr's memory, and the stone was erected
without any pretense at secrecy.

MY Childhood Home.
Exchanged

The house. only two-stories high, was
placed back from the road, and surrounded
by beautiful trees. The house was built for
comfort more than elegance, and occupied a
large space of ground. There was no place
amidst the pretentious dwellings that had
sprung up around more beautiful than those
about the secluded white cottage. The lands
were terraced and planted with vines both
useful and ornamental; here arose little
arbor from a mound of flowers; there the
stream from the mountains meandered on its
course to the great waters in the valley. The
rude, pleasant kitchen, with its many win
dows and its sunshine; the large sitting-room,
with homely wellpolished furniture, made
for use; the parlor fitted-up with some pre-
tensions to elegance, with good pictures on
the walls; the little rooms for other purposes
one hardly knew what-except some were
pleasantest for winter use. others for summer;
then the airy chambers looking out upon the
beautiful meadow and forest. Birds were
singing in the leafy branches, and fragrant
blossoms adorned the turf. How dim1y do
they come to me now through the distance.
Bright, happy faces gathered around the
Preside at night; happy schooldays came and
went; what bright picture there was before
me. But alas, what change! 1t was not
in the springtime when the springing grass
and purple violets trembled beneath weight
of dewy gems. but in the bright summer I
became motherless The shroud was folded
over the still bosom; the eyes closed in the
last dreamless slumber; she was lowered into
the dark grave. Oh, how drearyl how desc
late was that homei Sisters and brothers met
around the family altar. But there was ever
vacant chair; the light of the family circle
had departed. Long. weary months rolled
by, then another came to ill the vacant
place; but how different from the one that
had left usl Where was the calm, sweet face,
which ever reproved with love? Years
fraught with much grief and little joy have
passed away since then; my daily life was
marked with life's severest trials and disap-
pointments. do not often think of it. but
this evening it comes SO wildly to my mind
it makes my heart ache and my hand trem-

When Thackeray came to Boston to de-
liver his lectures he had made an agreement
with friend, Bostonian whom he met in
Germany, to go and hear Theodore Parker,
but was advised by his newer acquaintance
here not to do 80, as it would not be thought
the proper thing, and might possibly hurt his
lectures.

The Friday night Company, as Cor
mans is best known here, must have
experienced considerable pleasure upon
contrasting their large and cultured
audience Of last evening with the al
most unbroken array Of empty benches
visible on their first appearance here.
The audience must have felt almost as
much satisfaction at the excellence of
their performance which far out shines
any similar production which We have
seen either here or elsewhere. With
the solitary exception Of the company
at present performing in Boston, they
have the honor of standing head and
shoulders above any company in the
country who have undertaken to rem
der Gilberts burlesque. They are ex-
celled by the Boston Company only in
acting. Their singing is equal to any.
Mr.. Louis Delange is Sir Joceph is ex-
tremely enjoyable, we have heard bet
ter singing in the role but his acting
has never been surpassed. Mr. Palmer
makes very good captain and Mr..
Stur-es q most excellent Rackstraw
Mr.. Knorr as Dick Deadeye is a splen-
did base singer and his dust with the
captain was heartily encored. But to
Miss Henry belongs the highest praise.
She is the best Josephine on the stage,
splendid singer and a clever and ma
tural actor. Her solo in the part just
before the elopenlent was the best thing
of tie evening, and was encored. Miss
Rutherford as Buttercup is also remark.
