Aunlyersal CompIaInt.

The merry, merry maiden who finds il
difficult to restrain her giggling until
she reaches the outside of the church is,
fortunately, rarer than the lounger who
stares at her from the sidewalk; but she
exists, and more's the pity. Without
her the lounger would fade away Of slow
decline, and cease to annoy religious
and sensible people with his fixed and
idiotic stare- The groups of girls who
meet outside the church talking frivo-
lous nonsense with much ehusion and
gesture, stamp themselves at once as ut
terly lacking in those qualities that make
woman worthy of respect. To bow
down contrite and devout, and then,
within the same hour, to laugh and talk
foolishly within view of the tabernacle,
is unworthy of any woman not lost te
all sense of propriety and religion. Il
would be untrue to imply that these un
womanly young woman are numerous
! for they are not. Catholic teaching il
nowhere so apparent In its effects as il
the modesty and recollection of deport
ment that it produces in women. 1
hedges around womanhood with O pro
lection which, like the moss on a rose
bud, only adds to her beauty. A littl
thought ought to convince any Catholi
young woman, no matter how frivolou
her companions are, that the glances c
men who pose on the sidewalk after mas
ought to bring blush to the cheeks c
q modest girl. Catholic RerieW.

An AerOnaut's Escape.

Carlotta, the lady aeronaut, who made
a balloon ascension from the Chonango
county IN. Y fair grounds at a recent
fair, found herself in rather an unpleas-
ant situation before she reached the end
of her ride. She first landed on the
farm of Simon Turner in Preston, some
five miles from Norwich, after trip of
about half an hour, during which she
reached an elevation of about two miles.
Encountering a cloud of rain, she threw
out ballast and every thing in the bas-
ket, but the balloon became heavy with
rain, and, descending, dragged upon the
tops of forest trees, finally lodging on
the top of a Eastwood tree eighty feet
high. A party of men who were out hunt
ing discovered her perilous situation,
and proceeded to the rescue, which was
no slight task. A long ladder was pro-
cured, and upon ascending the tree it
was found necessary to cut limbs from
it, and the lady was with difficulty res
cued, after remaining in the tree top for
an hour anda half in drenching storm.

In attempting new piece, first play it

with a firm touch. Be careful to de-
cipher the notes correctly; fix upon the

gain correct idea of the time. Then
divide it into sections, practicing each in
proportion TO its difficulty not neglect
ing, however, to frequently play the
whole piece through, lest you should af-

made by parents of pupils. The
best instruction is useless if not applied

Do not fall into the habit of giving up

Your progress will be far more rapid if
you continue to practice your old pieces.
Piano students, for the most part, seldom
play decently more than two or three
pieces; and this, too, when they are cap
able of playing dozen or more well.
