to the root OF the trouble. What oir
girls lack is not knowledge Of any kind
lit is health. The great trouble with
most OF them is that they know too
much-e except of one or two things that
would be of the most value to them.
There is nothing in the newspapers
more distressing to thoughtful lover of
his race than the accounts Of the
" graduating exercises at girls schools.
The girls commonly graduate at
about the age when their brothers are
beginning their serious studies at col
lege, and into the few years during
which they need the tenderest care they
have had crowded an amount of work
that would appall a vigorous adult.
The result is that those of them who are
not killed outright enter upon life with
no other endowment than the backacle.
A well-known physician has lately said
that whom young woman comes to COM
suit him he always asks whether she
stood high in her class, so constant a
correspondence has he found between
the graduating average and the poor
girls feeble health. And this is easy to
understand. A boy might stand the
amount of application and of excitement
to which girl is subjected in her school
years, if any boy could be found to SUBJ
NIT to it +; but no parent would expect of
boy what is expected of his daughters
at this early age. And yet nothing is
more certain than the period of life dur
ing which our girls are having their
heads crammed with all sorts of possible
and impossible learning and accomplish
ments, their minds upset with publ c
exhibitions and their bodies wearied with
perpetual unrest is just the period that
determines whether they shall grow up
healthy women or helpless invalids.
There may be some girls who pass
through this ordeal unframed, but il is
mystery how they do it. And the
worst of it is that it is upon the women
of humble means, who cannot afford the
luxury of invalidism, that the curse of
this pernicious system falls. Well-to-de
people Usually take better care of their
girls nowadays. They encourage them
in outdoor exercise and give both body
and mind reasonable chance for devel-
opment. But the girls who, if they have
not health, will have no dowry wha ever
are those who are ground down to this
terrible servitude in the schools, in the
vain delusion that their "education .
will be of value to them. II could never
be of much value in any case, because
system that Grams all the study of life
time into four or five years is fraud on
the face of it, but being almost inevita-
bly, purchased at a cost of permanent
ill-health it is very much worse than
useless. IF women can wait and take
the learning leisurely it may do them no
harm as it is their school life is to
four ffths of them an enduring curse.

Charley Charley! p called Ella to
her younger. brother; "don't go among

"Ho stay in the garden who wants

Charley, with great contempt. 81

That's motif, Charley, but you know
we both have on our good clothes, and
we must be ready to run quick when
we hear the carriage drive up to the
gate with Aunt May and Cousin Harry

said Charley, pushing his way through
the hedge as he spoke. "Girls aren't
good for anything but to sit and sew.

Ella felt like giving some angry an
swer, but she checked herself and went
on with her sewing as she sat under the
big tree, and wondering what had made
Charley break off his sentence so sud-
denly.
celia, Ella r. cried pitiful voice at
last, "come help me! I'm getting all
torn. Ooh |"
Sure enough, Charley was getting all
torn; some big thorns had caught his
new trousers, and the harder he strug-
gled the worse matters became.
"Hold still, DEAR" said Ella, 81

Charley, clapping his hand to his
trousers, knew well enough what Elias
"Ohl" meant. 1t meant a great big
tear in his new clothes, two cousins
coming to spend the day, and poor
little boy sobbing in the nursery until
the nurse would stop scolding and make
him fit to go down and see the COM
pany. The very thought of all this mis-
cry made him cry.
"Oh they'll be here in a minute
hoo-hoo !" he sobbed; "what shall I
do?"
"Why, stand still, that's all, said
Ella, hastily threading her needle with a
long, black thread; stand just so,
dear, till I mend it. .
"Mend it /" cried Master Charles, de-

Certainly I will, she answered very
gently. at the same time beginning to

Practical Arts in Women.

In Mrs. Pitman's European Breezes"
she says: There are no ladies in the
world SO capable of doing many things,
and doing them well, as the Austrian
ladies. I refer to those of high birth.
An Austrian lady that cannot swim, or
does not know how to ride horse well,
is an exception. Needle-work of every
kind, even to the making of lace, is a
part of every girls education. Her pc
destrian accomplishments put us quite
to shame. Her efforts of memory are
another source of wonder to us. As
linguists they are famous. 1t is only
among the nobility and higher classes
that one finds these accomplishments.
The burghers' daughters will not conde-
scend to the learning Of dressmaking and
cooking, which the titled lady can do
without thought of its rejecting on her
social position. Thehigher the position
abroad the more simple the attire in
public. The Austrian lady of station
who does not know how to cook 1 may
almost say does not exist A story is
told by Viennese ladies of another who,
having neglected this branch of her ed
ucation, allowed, at great dinner party
which she gave, two dishes of the same
color to be served in succession, q fault
for which she was hardly to be forgiven.
The Processes of the royal household
attend a course of lectures from chef
entirely upon the order of serving"

The Village Postmaster,

A village postmaster wrote to the
postmaster general: ga mans wife
dropped letter in this Office addressed
to another man. The husband suspects
something wrong. Shall deliver the
letter to him2" The postmaster general
answered that the husband could not
get the letter in that way.
Nowhere is vigilance so eternal as in
the village postofice. The postmaster
carries the epistolary affairs of his
contituency in his head. He scents
clandestine correspondence as readily
as a rat scents roast cheese. He knows
exactly who drops every letter in the
box and when woman sends one cad
dressed TO another man" in the interest
of morality he does something, Practice
and concentration of mind enable him
to keep posted not only as to who writes
the letters which pass through his hands,
but what they write about. He excels
any mind-reader or clairvoyant in the
remarkable art of reading letter with
out breaking the seal. The size, style,
weight and general appearance of
missjve help him to determine its con-
tents. He maFes study of his patrons
faces when they receive and deposit
letters, and goes about pulled up like a.
balloon with secret knowledge of his
neighbors' affairs. A chirography he
is unfamiliar with is asubiect of specula-
ton and sometimes of uneasiness to the
village postmaster. He feels injured
when a stranger sends a letter through
his Office. He enjoys the embarrass-
ment of the lovers whose precious ex-
change of endearments pass through his
hands. When he meets one of them he
throws into his eyes look of knowing
all things and telling nothing, so long
as he is treated with proper respect. He
is the marplot who illustrates many an
elopement by dropping significant
word into the ear Of the girls father.
He precipitates many a scandal by init
mating that there are things which had
better not be told; and when it comes
to wisdom in cardiac affairs the record
ing angels book can hardly keep pace
with him. He Is always on the side OF
high morality. When it comes to
question of mans wife writing to
'fanother man" the postmaster shirks
nothing which will bring the guilty
parties to grief and incite fuss. He
will telegraph the postmaster general,
detain the letter, or do anything except
keep still and send the letter on its way.
In his observing eye individual rights
are of no consequence and public mora
lily everything. He is feature of
individual life both terrible and indis-
pensable.

Tact.

An orators purpose is to persuade. He
must therefore create the magnetism of
goodwill between himself and his audi
ence. Edmund Burke may properly be
called great thinker, or great states
man, or great essayist, but he is not a
great orator. For instead of conciliating
his hearers he invited their hostility.
"Mr. Speaker" he said on one occa.
sion, in the house of commons, ST rise
under some embarrassment, occasioned
by feeling OF delicacy toward .one-half
of the house and of sovereign contempt
for the other half"
Prof. Phelps, of Andover, tells an an
ecdote of a humble Massachusetts,
chaplain, who showed himself much the
superior in oratorical tact of the great
Englishman. He was once ordered dur.
ing the war, to preach to wealthy con-
gregation of outspoken sympathizers
with the south in Norfolk, Virginia.
''My friends" said the chaplain. in
beginning his discourse, 81 am here by
no choice of NINE. / came to your CITY
as a chaplain, to look after tie souls Of
my neighbors who are here, as am. IN
der military rule. 1 stand in the place
OF your honored pastor by command of
my military superior; but I am a
preacher of the same Christ whom you
reverence, and I ask you to hear me for
His sake"
Of course they heard the man who
had the tact thus to disarm their preiu-
dices; and they heard him willingly for
the next three months.
The oculist is savage who gouges
out an eye in order to examine it. The
more indamed it is, the more gentle
must be bis touch.

THE LITTLE FOLKS


naughty little city boy was taken to farm.
To spend the summer holidays away from heat and
harm;
Where he could roll upon the grass, or chase tbs
little chicks,
Or tease the pigges in the pen BY poking them with
sticks
To pull the peacocs feathers out to him was lots of
fun;
The geese stretched out their neeks and hissei and
made him urn and run:
He didn't dare to plague the dog, Cor fear that he
would bite;
Bat he VS. in al sorts of scrapes, from morning
until night
One day lie climbed cherry-tree that in the garden
grew,
BesauFe It was the very thing he'd been tod not
to do
he cherries they were red and rip,, and tasted
very sweet
That naughty boy he swallowed them as fast as he
Bat when he d eaten all he could; and scrambled
down again,
lie ST upon the ground, and soon began to scream
with pain:
Aud whea at last The doctor came he very grimly
said,
Give him dose Of ca t,r-oil, and put him right
to bed
: 1t isu't nice, said mis- mamma to lie in bed all
day;
h pc twill be lesson, Tom, and teach You 10
obey"
rom promised soemniy no more that cherry tree
to climb;
And bis mamma was very sure he meant tat the
time.

GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES.
The Symptoms,

First notice if he sits alone.
And meditates or writes a lot,
Or talks in an distracted tone,
Or walks about at night lot.
Observe if he delights to wade
Through multitudes of ssspooney verse
And if he hints a certain maid
Is peerless in the universe.
And also note if he awaits
The p0stInan's coming eagerly,
And if be often vows the fates
Are smiling on him meageflys
Observe if he appears TO pine,
As though affairs are grieying him,
And Ii he's dIsinclined 10 dine.
And appetite seems leaving him.
If ever and anon he groans
With sobs and sighs mysterious,
And nutters in distracted tones,
Be sure his state is serious.
And If he raves Of some sweet dore,n
And gazes on a carte at times,
You'll know he's suffering from love,
Which much affects the heart at times.
Your treatment must at first be mild
Don't rashiy mar his s mooninesz,"
a mans as helpless as child
When suffering from spooniness."
Loves patients ne'er like being chaffed,
Although they show inaniy.
Just give him wedlock, that's the draught
To bring him back to sanity,
