Education in Russia,

According to the testimony Of q Rus
sian gentleman now visiting this coun-
try, educated men and women ii Rus
STA do not always find it easy to gain :
livelihood. Trade is looked upon as
altogether distinct from education. An
educated man is obliged to be q teach.
or, clerk, or government officer, and If
he cannot be one of these he is disap-
pointed and his mind is ripe to receive
Nihilistic ideas, if he has not character
enough to fight the battle of life. The
position of woman is still worse. A
girl whose parents are able to give her
a good education is in many cases left
without any means of support, unless
she makes good marriage. It is with
in a short time that women have been
admitted as clerks of railway and tele-
graph companies. But in consequence
Of the common prejudice girl of re-
spectacle parentage, who Is without
means, is thrown on the charity of re-
lations, who would in no case acknowl-
edge girl who worked for q living,
and would rather see her dependent on
aims. The only means of livelihood
considered by society as honest and re-
spectacle for girl. is teaching in pri-
vate families. The teachers in schools
are mostly male. In any Russian
newspaper there are numberless adver-
tisements for situations wanted by we'll
educated young ladies, teaching four
languages and music, for their board
simply. The only trades existing for
women are millinery and dressmaking.

Unhappy PEOPLE,

You can destroy every possibility of
happiness or peace of mind by taking
it for granted that every mans hand IS
against you. Be. constantly afraid lest
some one should encroach on your
rights; be watchful against it, and if
any ono comes near your possession
recent it fierccly. Contend earnestly
for everything, that is your own, al
though it may not be worth q pin.
Never yield q point. Be very sensitive,
and take everything that is said to you
in the most serious manner. Be jeal-
Gus of your friends lest they should
think enough of you; and if at any
time they should seem to neglect you,
put the worst construction on their
conduct Make no allowance for their
private woes or perplexities, which
may divert their thoughts from your
important self; act on the belief that
though their hearts are breaking they
should be smiling and courteous to
you, and Immediately be ION your dig
nifty" it they seem grave and pre-oo-
cupied. BY this means you will be
sure to lose their friendship finally,
and thus add another to your many
reasons for being unhappy.

How Johann Strauss Writes His Waltses.
y Strauss and his wife were enjoying
quiet walk in tho park at Schonau re-.
Gently, when suddenly the composer.
exclaimed: = My dear, I have q waltz
in my head; quick. give me the inside
of letter or an envelope to write It
down before forget it, Alas! after
m,,cl, rum,naying Of pockets it was dis
covered that neither of them had q let
tor about them ~ not even = tradesman's
account. Johann Strauss music is
considered light, but it weighs as heavy
as lead on his brain until he can trans
fer it to paper. His despair was heart
rending: At last a happy thought
struck Frau Strauss. She held out :
snowy linen cuff, and Johann smiled.
In two minutes it was MS. Then it's
mate shared the same fate, then Frau
Strauss collar. then not another scrap
of starched linen on which to conclude
the composition. His own linen was
limp colored calico-no hope there.
Johann became frantic. He was much
worse for having been allowed to write
:three-quarters of the waltz. He was
just on the point of dashing home like
"a mailman. when another happy
thought struck Frau Strauss. She
plunged her hand into q capacious
pocket, fished out purse, and dis
played. to his delight q, new hundred
gu!den note. Hurrah! The entire
finale was written on the bank note,
and then Johann Strauss relapsed into
his usual tranquility.

Kissed for LAFAYETTE.

A humorous variation to the song
':Let me kiss himsfor his mother Is
here suggested by historic incident,
which, however, seems to have been
left somewhat in dispute. '.About the
year 1845," writes Josiah Quincy in
the Independent, Gin going from Bos-
ton to New York. I fell in with bridal
party. The gentleman introduced him.
self and then presented me to his wife
and to her very pretty sister, who was
travelling in their company. After
some chat upon different subjects, the
bride turned to me, with an air of we'll
assumed seriousness, and said:
8. II may as we'll tell you, Mr.. Quincy,
that l have long desired to make your
acquaintance, and determined to do so
when found you were upon this boat.
There is an event with which you
were connected which has caused
much unhappiness by answering q
single question. Did you ever kiss my
sisterp'''
amazed at this singular inquiry, I
could only say that, without betraying
the past. I should be glad, with the
young lady's permission. to qualify my
self to answer the question in the affir-
native from that time forward.
That would not improve things
said the bride, roguishly; for the fact
is. that this pert young thing has al
ways given herself airs because, when
she was four months old, and you were
driving through our town with Lafay-
cite, she was lifted up into the carriage,
and, she says, kissed by the general.
Now the old people who remember the
time, tell us that this notion of hers is
q great mistake, for they are certain
that, while Lafayette was shaking
hands with the men on one side of the
borouche, he detailed you to kiss the
babies on the other.'"

T. W. Higginson on the Health Of Wo-

With tho influx into cities has me
an increasing habit If spending a third
or a quarter Of n. year in tho country,
this .heing tho time when country life
is most available, and perhaps the only
lime when tits essential There is q
lgreat deal to enjoy in the country in
winter; but on the whole, for physical
training, the city offers better oppor-
tunity in winter. 1t has miles of side
walk for walking, at the same time
when our rural villages are half buried
in snow; and in all gymnastic advant-
ages there is no comparison. The
finest physical types in New England
are ordinarily to be found, not among
the farmers daughters, but among the
well-to-do families in our cities and SUI
burbs families who spend as a matter
of course, their summer vacations on
the seashore or among the mountains.
All improved habits as to diet. bathing,
ventilation are carried with the sum-
mer boarders into the country. Don't
you think l know said resolute
landlady in Vermont, .'what kind OF
folks are willing to sleep on feather,
bedsP'' and she added, :'We have few
er and fewer of 'em every year. =
Middle-aged people can RECALL the inn
mense increase Of physical freedom
given to young girls, first in the cities,
then in the country, by the introduce
ton of rubber boots and waterproof
cloaks. OF course the country is,the
place for long free walks and for climb
ing, but who takes the walk? AS a rule,
the city boarders. is.
So in regard to healthy outdoor
games that are doing so much for the
young girls. Croquet was first known
in cities and then in the suburbs it
now sets up it's wickets in every farm
house yard. It is the same with archery
and lawn-tennis. These exercises pro-
coed from the city outward, not from
the country inward. ) When they have
ceased, like croquet, to be fashionable,
they may turn out like that to have
established firm hold in regions where
people do not care whether thing is
fashionable or rot. s1 lg.
1t is not the experience of our public
schools that the children of emigrant
parents are healthier, on the whole,
than the more comfortable of our native
born. Consumption has been regarded
as the special scourge of New England,
but physician told me lately that no
class among us seemed to have so little
stamina to resist it as the young girls
of foreign parentage. A worthy poor
Irish widow living near me has lost one
of four grown-up daughters BY this dis
ease, and two more are rapidly sinking
under it, leaving her but one. In the
presence of such facts doubt whether
even the tonic influence of poverty can
counterbalance the good effects of care
and nursing and the ordinary comforts
of life. il% .s=..4,,:

Exciting Runaway.

The quietness of the town was stirred by
an exciting runaway last Tuesday evening
Two wagons, with one horse attached to
each, were on the square. The wagons
were loaded with guano. We do not know
what pushed the animals to accelerated mo
ton, unless it was the git up and git in
the guano. At any rate, the foremost horse
started off and was followed by the second.
They struck for the sidewalk on the south
side of the square, passing between the park
fence and the well. At the corner the fore
most wagon knocked down two panels of
the park fence, and whirled over on its side,
falling half way into the park, the horse was
thereby detached from the wagon. The
second horse telescoped the first wagon and
was thrown to the ground, and was unable
to get up, until assisted by some persons
who speedily came to his rescue, A large
crowd soon gathered around the scene to
extend their sympathies and horse pitality
due the occasion. Otherwise no damage,
and the entertainment closed.
