The Duty ofa Woman to be Lady.

Wildness is thing which girls cannot
afford. Delicacy is thing which cannot
be lost and found. No art can restore to the
grape its bloom. Familiarity without love.
without confidence, without regard, is des.
tIuctive to all that makes woman ennobl-
ing.

An Officers Situation.

When the Michigan cavalry brigade was
sent West to wallop the Indians after the
close OF the war, one Of the companies in
the Sixth was commanded by lieutenant
who was hated by every man in his com.
mand. He realized this fact, and lost no
opportunity to make it warm for the boys
One evening when the regiment went into
camp on the banks Of the Platte, far be-
yond Omaha, the lieutenant r:gged up n
fish line and slipped of down the stream
to try his luck Rattle-snakes were plenty
ont there then, aud II was well known that
the officer had horror Of them. He was
fishing away, getting nibble now and
then. when one OF the boys stole forward
to within ten feet OF him ana noarseiy
whispered:
"For Heavens sake. Lieutenant don't
move hand or footl There is big rattle
in tho grass behind you"
The officer was man OF nerve, aud
though he heard every word he made no
move, He realized the situation. and af-
ter moment replied:
"Can't you kill it2"
"No-he's too near you! I'll go to camp
for gun and come up on the Aankr'
The officer heard the man crawl away,
and he sat like statute. The fish began
to bite, and he dared not move his arms.
He saw the sun go down, and the dark.
ness found him as rigid as post. When
he had been in that situation for forty
minutes he could not stand il no longer.
Gathering his breath and muscle, he
made leap into the water, and after
swimming and wading thirty rods, he
climbed out and struck for camp, as wet
as a rat and loaded down with mud. The
story had gone around the camp and al
| least 400 men were out 10 greet his return
and questioned him regarding the length
OF the reptile. The officer took solemn
vow to make somebody sweaf for that
trick. but he fell before an Indian pniei
beforo he mad secured his revenge.

When Professor Park. OF Andoyer was
Younger man than he is now, be visited
the Walhalla, at Nuremberg. As he was
standing near the magnificent temple, lost
in admiration, German professor APP
preached, and. after passing the compli.
ments OF the day, remarked; Il perceive.
SIR, that you are an Englishman. Pro.
fessor Park SMILED and made no reply. A
moment later he inquired: "Do you know
the cost Of this tuildingf" The German
at once exclaimed: 81 perceive, sir. that
you're an American. | do verify believe
that, when an American comes to stand
before the great white throne, his first
words will be: How much did it cost2 !"
Late in the Autumn Of 1888 number OF
literary gentlemen met in New York City
and in the course of the evening discussed
the meteoric shower which had occurred
a few nights previous, one suggesting one
solution Of the phenomenon and another
another; and, at length one OF the gentle
men turned TO Professor Bush and said;
"Well, Professor, you have not given us
your opinion. Whot do you think is the
true explanation OF the shower2'
The Professor replied, II don't know
as can assign the real cause; but when l
saw it. my first thought was that DR.. Cox's
head had exploded"
The brilliant orator, then at the height
of his fame, well deserved the compliment.
Per contra, one evening during the
Doctors pastorate in Brooklyn, the lights
in the church suddenly went out in the
midst OF the sermon, and several minutes
passed before the mishap was remedied
and the service resumed. An editor Of
one OF the New York dailies reported the
fact in his next issue, and expressed his
''surprise that the gas should fail so long
as DIR. Cox was in the pulpit. ~ T., In

A. W. Cary OF Florida presents some OF
the advantages in a communication to tho
Pensacola Advance Gasotic as follows:
How a newspaper pays will be at once
seen II you twill give .the matter little
thought Supposeyou take apaper that
is only issued once week; you get ffty
two eopiesa year, each containing the gen
eral current news OF tho times.
The educational advantages TO the fami.
ly derived from only weekly paper are
cheaper and more impressive, useful and
thorough, after the children have learned
to read than the teaching in the ordinary
schools. 1t is u potable fact. and many
eminent examples might be referred to
that families who are never without news
papers become more intelligent and more
influential than those who go through the
ordinary scholastic studies without the
habit OF reading newspapers. After read
ing, writing and arithmetic are taught to
a child, il choice is to be made between
school books aud newspapers, it would be
much moro beneficial TO the child to give
it two or three well selected newspapers to
read than to confne it TO the text book OF
the school. Newspaper education is poly
technic and universal, and is indispensa'
bio to proper qualification for true Amer
lean citizenship.
A good newspaper saves money III al
business matters. II you want to sell OF
buy anything you will likely see the cur
rent price in newspaper. You will also
see what you might want advertised; and
don't have to take heresay, and thus suffer
from mistakes and delays; you just turn
to your paper, and know all you wish to
find out. You will then save the subscrip.
ton cost Of your paper by one single or
der for ten or twenty dollars worth oi
goods. You will often find chances for
good bargains advertised that cannot be
found in any other way. A few months
since merchat in Pensacola advertised Ia
sell staple article OF provisions very
cheap; there was quite large lot of it,
and the consignee ordered it sold at once.
sent an order, and when several OF my
neighbors in the country saw what l had

yle transaction. Indeed, it would be i'm
possible to enumerate the amount OF PEE
cuniary benefits received from newspaper
advertisement alone, to say nothing OF the
information of vital importance contained
in them.
Journalism in all its departments is
business that requires more self.sacrlfice,
more indefatigable labor, more patience,
endurance and nice discrimination thar
any other profession. There is no class o.
men who furnish SO cheaply the indispen
sable intelligence. wisdom and virtue, fol
the support Of the government and thu
welfare Of the people as the well trained
aud efficient journalist. Every good citi
zen should take and pay for a good paper
he owes it to his country, his family, ant
his own self respect and interest
