A writer in the Atlantic Monthly
says: | have found the worst feminine
qualities almost invariably allied TO the
blonde style; not the green or gray
eyed blondes, with straight abundant
hair and fresh coloring, but the swallow
or pallid being, with light blue eyes
and limp waiving harlan innocent
looking creature, with feline manners,
pate de UeIOurS, and such clawsi These
are the women who delude and destroy
men: who never forgive an injury or
forget a slight; who smile and talk
sweetly, and put on airs OF meek plety
or high art and refinement but under
all are scheming, unprincipled, false to
the core. Did not Lucrecia Borgla
have golden hair? Was not Lady
Macbeth a Scottish woman, presumably
with lint-white locks? Two OF the
worst and most brilliant women L ever
knew had this style of complexion, and
the lovely being whose picture was my
childish alteration, who sat simpering
over the library shelf in dear old Uncle
W's house, robed in satin and sables,
her gold hair curling like a child's, her
sapphire eyes as inscrutable as deep
spring, her rosebud lips soft and fresh
as u baby's, and her taper white fingers
crossed in her lap, was virago, a
drunkard, woman without symptom
OF fprinciple-the mystery and the curse
OF the old and honorable family she mar
ried into. Black-haired and dark-eyed
women are quick-tempered, electric,
generous, jealous probab bly,, but full ol
relenting, and capable of being coaxed
into or out of anything. Weak as IL
their affections, snappy as to their tenn
per; warm of heart and hot OF head
they are never very bad or very good
and are the delightful torment Of every
man who loves them and whom they dc
not love too much; but love makes tools
OF them, and they are ridiculously con-
slant.

About Editors,

Every editor loves TO have friends,
and particularly his readers, call on
him. They belong to the saEIe family
as it were. But when you call TO see
the editor don't stay too long. If you
have any suggestion to make or news
20 communicate, state il in as few
words as possible. Don't offer any eX-
cuses, on indulge in a long preface
to what you have to say. BluTt 1t right
out; tell the editor you wish him well,
and bid him good day. Editors dote on
such men as that; they love to receive
calls from them. Don't argue with
them; don't try to do it; he has no time
for argument while at his work.
When you write to an editor for publl-
cation. make it short-'FBoil it down.
Pitch right into the middle of your sub
iect, and be sure to stop writing when
YOU are through. Editors always like
something fresh and original in the
way of communications, and are espe-
cially fond of news. But the editor
must always be the judge of what is
worthy of publication. OfcouIse every
writer thinks his own production the
best, just as every mother thinks her
baby the prettiest that was ever born.
But the editor may be so stupid as to
have different opinion. If so, it can't
be helped. Don't try to argue him on
this notion. If he is too stupid to ap-
preciate good thing, you can't expect
to remedy his dullness. You may think
you are a good deal smarter than the
editor, and that may be true, but the ed
itor may be responsible and you are
not. There is no class of men so anX-
ious to please a majority of the people
as editors are. There is no class of peo-
pie so covetOus of the good opinion OF
others. 1t is well to remember these
facts.

Kaen the Life Pura.

Once upon time an ArabianPrincess
was presented by her teacher with an
ivory casket, exquisitely wrought, with
the instruction not to open 1t until 3
year had rolled round. Many were the
speculations as to what it contained, and
tune impatiently waited for when the
ieweled key should disclose the myste-
rious contents. 1t came at last, and the
maiden went away alone and with
trembling haste unlocked the treasure
and 10. reposing on delicate satin lin
ings, lay nothing but a shToud of rust
the form OF something beautiful could
be discerned, but the beauty had gone
forever. Tearful with disappointment
she did not at first see a slip of parch-
ment containing these words:
"DEAR PUPIL: May you learn from
this a lesson for your life. This trinket
when inclosed, bad upon il a single spot
of rust; by neglect 10 has become the
useless thing you now behold, only q
blot on its pure surroundings. So lit
tie stain on your character will, by in
attention and neglect, mar the bright
and useful life, and in time will leave
only the dark record of what might
have been. II you now place within 9
Jewel of gold, and after many years
seek the result, you will find it still az
sparkling as ever. So with yourself
treasure up only sthe pure, the good
and you will ever be an ornament Il
society and a source of true pleasure q
yourself and your friends"

AT COLUMBIA.
With the sunshine falling over

With the sunshine falling over
Thou art seen remotely looming,
Up against yon sunny ,sky;
Like to clouds that gently hover,
And in summers solemn cleaning,
On tn horizon dormant lie.
And like dreams that in my sleeping
Come with their sweet inhu'nce healing
Every care known in the day;
As / watch thee, there is creeping
Through my soul that restful feeling,
Driving aching thoughts away
Dreaming Yes, Pm dreaming fondly
OF the beauty thou ert screening,
OF the scenes Hove beyond;
OfmY boyish haunts beside thee;
And though thou art intervening
Bright the seene to mem'ry fond.
All. distinctly, oh so clearly,
Like a picture set before me
Lies the landscape to my view;
Lies the village loved so dearly,
Bound around with untold glory,
Glory that my childhood knew
Blessed Lynnville, of thy mountains,
OF each verdant field ard meadow,
Of each CLASSY winding stream;
Ofthe valleys and the fountains,
Blossoms blown in sun or shadow,
'Tis of them ! fondly dreErn.
And forever and forever
/ could dream of all the glory
OF the blessed scene below;
Till my life on Times smooth river
Should, with sunshine falling DER me
Drift beyond all earthly woe.
Oil the lesson in the vision,-
On the road that leads to heaven,
There are mountains steep and tall,
Barring US from folds elysian,
But if time and will be given
We can overcome them all.

When a child begins TO read 1t be-
comes delighted with a newspaper be-
cause It reads of names and things
which are familiar, and it will progress
accordingly. A newspaper in one year
is worth quarters schooling to child,
Every father must consider that infor-
nation is not connected with advance
ment. The mother of q family being
one of its heads, and having a more i'm
mediate charge OF children, should her
self be instructed. A mind occupied
becomes fortified against the Ills of life,
and Is braced for an emergency. Chill
dren amused by reading or study are
of course more considerate and more
easily managed.

A New York clergyman, in a lecture
on "Modern Courtship," told his audi
ence that "young ladies and gentlemen
should be entirely frank in their court
ship-they should describe to each 9th

forts to bring her out of the comatose
