American Girls

A good many of the pictures are by
women, who are becoming more and
more prominent in domestic lotteries.
BY the way, what feature of big city
life in America the student girl is come
to bel In Europe she existeth. but her
wings ere clipped. She goeth not abroad
except the shadow of the chaperone ac-
companieth her, which is WEAKNESS to
flesh. But in Roland which our fathers
have given to us. there is none to make
her afraid
She cometh from afar, from the east
and from the west, from. the land OF the
fire eater and from the Country OF the
wooden nutmeg. and she seeketh after
knowledge.
She forsaketh the foolish virgins OF her
set, and she departeth into far city and
taketh up her abode in the house called
boarding house, and it is apt to be that
the house swarmth with her, SO that the
irreverent hackman or the sacreligious
postman often. calleth it the "Place Of
Ornamental Knowledge, or the House OF
Sixty Virgins. or other things, descrip.
tive, and some of her are learneth to
play upon instruments, and the sound
thereof as che strummeth is not joyful,
and some of her hath voice, and all the
nelghborhood learneth thereof, and they
listen and know not her ways, imagine
that mystery has come upon her, rs they
know it hath upon them
Again she painteth or draweth or mod
eleth, but whatsoever she doeth she
doeth it under the best master in the
city, and no other, for it cometh about
that the best master is q humorous per-
son.
She delighteth to clothe herself in the
straight skirt, she escheweth the hair
that is bought, and the heel that is high,
and the trail that draggeth down, and
if she be pretty she doeth very well.
But she careth not for these things.
She goeth her way and payeth attention
to no man, wherein she differeth much
from the boarding school girl.
She prideth herself in discretion, and
she considereth herself discreet enough
to do most anything.
She pervadeth the reading rooms, and
the picture dealer knoweth her we'll at
the sight of her, that she looketh much
and buyeth little.
She gathereth herself together in Q
body and goeth forth to the elevating
concert or to the informing lecture, and
no one openeth his mouth to say to her
nay.
But when she goeth home in the sum-
mer she says nothing OF these things lest
the Philistines should fall upon her, but
she pondered them in her heart and
laughs in her sleeve.-N. Y. Corr. Cour-
ier-Journal.

Brother Talmage was very severe on
the pool sellers and book makers, but
not more so than Brother Buford, and he
showed q familiarity with the different
forms of betting which caused some of
his hearers to open their eyes. In clos
ing his sermon he demanded that the au-
thorities of Brooklyn and New York
should put q stop to gambling On the
race course. The sermon has been
widely read since 1t was delivered, and
the suggestion has been made that
Brother Buford and Brother Talmage
strike hands and together stump the
country. 1t would be a sort of cross
match, jolly fat and very lean, but for
all that very strong team. Should any
thing arise during the lecture tour to ex-
cite virtuous Indignation and call for
honest swearing. we are confident that
Brother Buford would be equal to the
occasion, because his education in that
line has not been neglected. And should
Brother Buford grow lukewarm in the
cause, and feel like falling from grace,
Brother Talmage could speedily avert
the calamity by hammering into him
some of his own surplus faith and enthu-
siasm.
A few days ago. in one of the down
town restaurants, = breezy-faced man
called in cheerful tones from one table to
another:
Robert Bonner, you are very mean
man, q very mean man."
s'How SOP" exclaimed the gentleman
addressed, looking up from his tender
Ioin steak with an expression of SUR
prise.
Because" said the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, "you have never invited me up
to your farm to look at your stud of fine
horses"
"But have never asked my own pas
tor, DIR. John Hall, to go there"
"Well, what of that? DR.. Hall knows
nothing about the horse, except what he
has read in the Bible, while do claim
to have some knowledge of the points Of
we'll bred and fast trotter."
Brother Beecher is more eloquent than
either Brother Talmage or Brother Bu.
ford, but he is not more ardent in the
cause. With three such distinguished
men laboring to the same end, why
should not the turf be reformed? -l Turf,
Field and Farm.

order and neatness. An old, dilapidated
house, with distortedj gables, and shat
tered panes, is good enough for them,
only provided they can manage it to keep
out the rain and cold. They will live as
long if there be no flowers in the garden,
no trees in the yard, no paint on doors
and shutters, as if all was dainty with
neatness.
They live to make money. Their
homes are their offices, where they trans
act business for gain. Their sheep,
cattle. horses and swine, must be COM
fortably housed; but as for them and
their children they can live in anything
In nothing do they indicate that they
have souls to culture, minds to refine,
affections to sweeten. and an image OF
God to bring to view and brighten up by
the bountiful means He has placed at
their disposal.
In the Cumberland valley, of Pennsyl-
vania, it used to be said the barns were
invariably better than the houses, and
that hence the aristocracy of the neigh
borhood was among the horses and cattle.
The criticism was too severe, yet it con-
tanned som truth. To get good barn
was, with certain class of the farmers,
the main ambition. By this their thrift
was determined. This gave them agri-
cultural standing; whereas, q fine house.
with it's convenience and comforts. was
regarded as sign of effeminacy and
proAigate luxury.
Now it ought to be the effort of men
and women to provide for themselves,
when they have means, such dwelling
places as will help culture them and their
children, and exert q good influence on
the taste, manners, and morals of the
neighborhood. God has made home q
sacred place. He has erected affairs in it,
where the occupants are to worship, and
where He will come and accept their sac
rifce. He has invested it with the rarest
felicities, and made it more or less typi-
cal of the place of everlasting rest. Upon
the home of the saint descends his
hottest benedictions, and around it stand
the angels of His providence with their
loads Of Benefits Christian Instructor.

Some White Honse Memories.

Martin Van Buren, stepped from the
vice-presidency into the presidential
chair. He was a peculiarly dignifed
man, able and accomplished. His sense
of decorum was one of his most striking
characteristics, and he was far from sym
pathiz ng in Jackson's democratic ideas.
Mrs. Eaton, the beautiful wife of Jack
sons favorite cabinet oficer, tells witty
story at the expense Of Van Buren,. Her
husband, General Eaton, was as frank.
gruff and unpublished rs Jackson himself.
He invited, formally, one evening, jack
son, Van Buren,, the French minister,
General Cass, and several other gentle
mon, to come around and assist him
in disposing OF barrel of oysters just
from Norfolk. A few moments after the
arrival Of the distinguished party the
butler announced the oysters ready for
consumption. Mrs. Eaton led the way,
escorted by Mr.. Van Buren,, and as he
approached the kitchen door, he ex-
claimed:
GOOD HEAVIER 3! madam, where are
you gong to take us?"
Unto the kitchen, of course" replied
Mrs. Eaton, cheerfully. Mrs. Eaton Was
. model housewife in her day, taking 40
much pride in her kitchen as in her par
lor, and ~ she threw open the door

was as white e. soap and water could
make it, and covered with fine white
sand. The tables looked like box-wOod.
and they were - bright as mirrors.

The recent change in the law relat-
ing to Landlord and Tenant suggests
the question whether the representa-
tives of the people in the Legislator
are privileged to enact new laws or
effect radical alterations in old ones,
whose enforcement comes close to or
overlars the hearthstone itself. VI
course, there is a certain amount OF
routine legislation affecting the State
as a whole, and of local work applica-
BILE to the counties, which may be
safely left 10 the representative dis
erection. But when it comes to the
institution of laws of vital import
ance, involving Issues which were
nowhere tested by the popular vote
which elected the representatives, the
right or propriety of interference
Herewith becomes matter Of grave
doubt. We know it is done in every
Legislature, but custom, however
commanding, is not law, and tho ono
to which we refer is no less dangerous
because no great harm seems to have
ensued from its observance. The en-
actment of laws one after another in
successive Legislatures, without noise
or display, has been the means of
stripping the people ofpOwer ard con-
ferring it upon the corporations,
whereas had the issues involved been
tested by the popular vote, it is GER
tain many existing laws would be yet
unborn. Tried before the people of
Maryland, it may be doubted whether
the coal and iron police law would be
an entity to-day, and with more as
surance we may aver the same with
regard TO the late change Of ejectment
process. In Difference to some inter-
ested and influential solicitation both
laws were passed, and the great spec
tacle is apparent that the State ia
placed in the attitude of hostility to a
large class of its citizens. In the first
place, its force ia used to compel indi-
rectly large body of its people to
work at terms considered oppr essive
in the next, at the bidding Of, say a
dozen landlords, to use its constabu-
larry to unhouse perhaps hundreds OF
families. 1t is safe to say that no
member Of either House voting for
this bill contemplated any Wholesale
operation of its provisions, and his
constituents, unaware Of its terms,
could not advise him. But the effect
is the same. The State, the tradition
al patron of popular contentment, is
brought to the work of desroiling its
people Of the inherent privileges up
on which its own are founded, and Of
starting many upon the public roads
as houseless wanderers. That it's at
titude may not be misunderstood the
papers report that its present force is
to be supplemented and emphasized
by the military arm, # necessary.
Let us return. 1t ought TO be the
duty hereafter of every representative
of the people in every county to vote
for no radical amendment of existing
law unless as an issue before the peo-
pie it has been passed upon and ap.
proved. And if the people desire to
retain intact the few rights they have
left they will see to it that these are
not handicapped and destroyed with
out their concurrence.

Aiterp rotacted suspense, the President
has at last succeeded in filing the yacan-
ces in the tariff commission. We notice
that the compromise party, whose cry is
free trade on raw materials and moderate
protection on manufactured goods, is
pretty strongly represented. We expect
to hear them clamor for free ceal before
the expiration of the next three months

would come so soon. But people
who believe so sturdily in "free
