When a Aippant Miss Of sixteen pouts be-
meath the wholesome advice of her "old
maid" sister, ,so-called), she does a very
foolish thing, forunmarried ladies, as a class
are wise indeed, wise with experience and
the workings Of clear unbiased minds.
Neither does it follow that the old maid
sister is any less beautiful than the maidens
who pout at her. The girls who are just
budding into maturity are very lovely, as
halEblown roses are, and their bright eyes,
changeful bloom, and unaffected merriment
are a delight TO all beholders. They have
the swift, eager enthusiastic Of youth, and
their world wears the gladness Of morning.
But they are not, necessarily, more winning
than the women who have left girlhood be-
hind them, and who in going on, have
gathered heart wealth and accumulated
brain power, have been disciplined by trial,
taught by experience, and wrought upon by
different vicissitudes Of life. The cheek
may have lost some Of its rounding contour,
and the lips may not smile so frequently,
but to use an expressive colloquialism,there
is more TO the older woman than the young
er. If she be a matron, nobody thinks Of
disputng this; but II, whether from choice
or because nobody asked her, which is the
unspoken assumption on the part of her
critics, size wtars her maiden name, she is
voted nsipid and liresome, old-fashioned or
absufd, by little chits who cannot compare
with her in real worth. Whence arises this
feeling on their part--a feeling which only
those Of their own class share? Few gentle
men deny the unmarried ladies Of their ac-
quaintance a place in their esteem, aud
they consider au elegant, intellectual wom-
an as beautiful in her iortieth as she was in
her twentieth year. You make great mis-
take girls, when you allude to "A woman five,
ten, or fifteen years your senior, as Passee.
Age is much as you look at it. The mirror
in which you gaze makes all the difference.
Then, though with real wumanlg reticence,
she never tells it to her nearest and dearest
friend; there is hurdiy an "old mad" any
where who has not been coGrted and sought,
and admired by gentlemen who are now
staid and comfortable fathers Of families,
and who still bow to her with stately admi-
ration, and in their secret souls, once in a
while, wonder why she refused tberl.
Ton.

OUB CREDIT ABRoBD. The London
Times of yesterday, in It's financial arti-
Gle says: "The finances Of the United
States may excite the envy not only OF
England, but of Europe. The unprece-
dented rate of redemption is having its
natural effect, raising the credit of the
United States to a level with the most
staid and best-paying communities OF
the Old World. In reaching that level,
the United States will only attain the
rightful position country which is so
faithful to its engagements, whose re-
sources are so limilless and whose popu-
lation increases with such remarkable
rapidity, ought to enjoy-the best credit
accorded to any. In all probability,
should conditions remain favorable,
Secretary Sherman will accomplish his
refunding operations at rate nearer 8
than per cent. The very rapidity with
which he is able to pay off the debt must
aid him most materially by reducing the
supply Of stock. This, acting pari
pGssW with the augmenting demand for
sound investments, will give him an in
ealculable advantage in his operations.

THn FAILURE OF COFFEE spEcu

TIE FAILURE OF COFFEE SPECU'
LAToRs.-A NY firm failed on Tuesday
for two millions Of dollars. The firm
had been for several years buying up
all the coffee that it could carry, and dis
posing of 1t gradually at high rate.
1t is pretty well settled that the con-
sumption of coffee reaches about 200,-
900 bags a month. This year the firm
bought heavily as usual and had on
hand very large amount.
Many Of the smaller dealers this year
commenced TO do their own importing,
and the coffee In the hands of Arnold
& Co., became too great load to carry
and coald not be got rid of at lower
rates even until their notes came due
and went to protest. Coffee and lea and
sugar have all been kept up in price by
just snch syndicate movements, and the
consumer will be glad to find the day
for success In such movements has
passed.

A SAD EVICTION.
DUBLIN, Dec. s, 1881

0QDA4A4HI A(N~s - NN~NH
A sad and dramatic eviction took
place in county Wicklow to-day. An
old man named Arthur Kavanagh, in
feeble health, who had cabin on the
property of Earl Fitzwilliam, had fallen
behind In his rent. A decree OF eject
ment was obtained by the Earl at the
last Wicklow Sessions. His gamekeeper,
with two bailifis, went to execute the
decree this Afternoon. They had to
carry Kavanagh out of the house, and as
he was crossing the threshold Of his cab
in the poor old man gave one gasp and
died in the gamekeeper's arms. His body
was laid by the roadside. Over it for
hours sat his only mourner, a grand
daughter. Kayanagh was formerly in a
good position. Kayanagh had been
previously carrier between Dublin
aud Wicklow. He has been unable TO
work for two years, and was bedridden
for some time.

dollar just as the debt Jf Is64-5.6 did.
At the same time we do not see why
Mr.. Sherman might not pay of hum
dred millions Of dollars of the debt and
thus reduce the surplus coin in the
treasury.
The people are now getting rid Of
debt and reducing the interest by the
refsnding process very rapidly; and
there appears to be prospect of being
able to negotiate 3 per cent. loan
which will reduce the Interest still
more
