Concerning Gift-Taking.
TRoStOn Gloha I

A few things that q young lady may moi
do might be suggested. She should, if pos
sible, endeavor to avoid all pecuniary obi
cations to gentlemen. Young men often
think it a necessary piece Of politeness to pay
| for ladies when they can i'll afford it, there
| fore, it is safest to make rule, subject, per"
haps, to an exception now and then, never tc
receive such favOrs from young men.
Accepting presents from a gentleman, IN
less engaged to him, is a dangerous thing.
Some men conclude from your taking one
gift from them that you will accept another,
and think themselves encouraged by it tC
offer their hearts to you; but even where no
misapDrellension of this kind follows it is bet
ter to avoid all such obligations, and if you
make it a general rule never to accept a
present from a gentleman you will avoid
hurting any ones feelings, and save yourself
from soma perplexity.
Of all the votiye offerings made to young
gill, flowers are the most beautiful and unex
| ceptionable. When it is the fashion fol
gentlemen to present bouquets to theil
friends, SO many are given that it seems
more tribute to the sex than a mark OF
particular regard, and their perishable
nature releases them from the ban put upon
more enduring memorials. You can accept
and wear flowers, and to refuse them would
be unnecessary rigor.
In a general statement it may be as well to
say that etiquette would prevent a young
lady from receiving gifts from gentleman,
except flowers and bonbonnieres. It is not
considered proper for her to accept jewelry
from any one but relative or her fiancee
just before marriage. If it is unsafe to re-
ceive presents it is doubly so to make them
to gentlemen, and this never should be done
except in very unusual instances. Each one
can best decide this matter for herself
| Where a doubt exists the wisest course is to
give ones self the benefit, by making nc
presents to gentlemen.

THE BO.. WHO WOULD NOT GOEO
BED,

[Sophio L. Eastman i'll independents
You may think him a Ounce,
But he begged that for once
lie might sit up all night, or as long as ne
pleased;
The nurse was in tears,
With her murmured "My dears|
But only the louder and faster he leased.
Overhearing the din,
His father came in:
"Wish to sit up all night, johns" he thought
fully cried:
"You shall have your request
Till you've learned we know best.
Nurse can go. l will stay at this naughty
boys side"
When two hours had passed,
John grew sleepy at last
And so tired that he feared he would tali
from his chair;
But, attempting to go,
Heard his fathers stern "No!
Keep your seat at the table. Your place. slr'
is there" ...
Oh! how slow ticks the clock,
With its dickory dock
For his father insists he should keep VIDE
Till quite humbly he said:
MAY please so to beds
I've found you were right, and made mis-
take"
His father said yes;
And now you can guess
If ever that boy did the same thing again.
No sermon could preach
No punishment teach,
A lesson more clearly than he learned it then.
Now, boys, when you're told,
That it's bed time don't scold,
And say that you feel just like keeping
awake;
Sitting up all the night
Isn't such q delight.
just try it for once, and you'll own your

Bone in Varnisk and Esronxee

["Pipsey Potts" in Arthurs Magazino.l
Very handsome ornaments can be made
out of common things by the aid of varnish
and bronze. Any plaster -of-Paris figure can
be rendered into something pretty and not
common. Old picture-frames can be reno
waited with no trouble at all. The frames of
broken mirrors can be made new and a
furniture dealer can put in another glass for
half the price of a new mirror.
Get at the drug store cents worth of
common varnish, to which have been added
a few drops of Japan varnish. With this
preparation varnish your frame, OF whatever
you may wish to bronze. Then get about
scents worth of gold bronzing and dip lit
tie bit of velvet into it and rub lightly over
every part of the frame OF figure or vase.
Continue this until every part is well bronzed
Then you may rub it down very smooth, or
leave it as it first appears-just as your taste
may approve. The little, insipid white fig
ures that the wandering Italian peddles can
be made into real statuettes, and they will
seem rare and interesting. A humble little
vase or jar can be made to pass for good
deal more than a vase or jar, when seen from
a bracket holding spray of red berries or
painted grasses, or as the base of an artificial
vine

COwardfce in Women.


Another cause of unhappiness in women
mean those fighting with real misfortunes-
is their cowardice. Brought up to consider
not merely right and wrong, but many Sec
ondary things-the opinion of the world, Of
their friends and relations-and, as one Of
your writers truly observes, weighed down
by their own morbid consciences, they submit
tamely to evils from which firm and per-
sistent will would soon have freed them
Many an act which looks like self-sacriice
is, at the core, mere weakness, fear of
the world, Of the anger or annoyance
of those who have no right to be either angry
OF annoyed; in truth, that Clear of man
which bringeth snare" I think the first
lesson to be taught our girls, like our boys,
is to be afraid of nothing except doing wrong.
Then, though we women may be sorely tried
in our ardent, turbulent girlhood, our hard
worked matronhood, our solitary and often
dreary Old age, we none of us need tie 'ua-
happy" women; and we shall be saved at
least from that greatest curse of all-that of
making other people unhappy.

The Social Law of Like.
(t.4,- rTNs,o,oo, I


When one is taxed to the utmost to enter
tain guest whose nature is thoroughly I'M
congenial and unresponsive, then the law of
social obligation is wrong if it compels you
to entertain him or her again. Like draws
like, and one should not be required to 6ex-
pend ones self and obtain no mental benefit
in return. There should exist no such thing
as effort in entertaining. When it appears,
the mystic charm is snapped. company
should always be selected for the harmoni
GUS blendings of the different natures, as
far as possible.
Society would reach an ideal point if the
law of like could receive some consideration.
There are some occasions which seem the re-
suit of such a law or a happy chance when
one spirit seems to animate the whole. All
ones best thoughts rise to the surface, new
and better ideas come with incredible swift
ness, and one is at ones best in this happy
union of minds. There are other occasions,
recalled with a shudder. Witless, talkless,
idealess, spasmodic efforts to be gay, fol-
lowed by dull and complete failure. 1t is
positively mental injury to remain five
minutes in such an assemblage, and if every
one would act on this principle, cheerful
ness might be impaired to the occasion that
otherwise it would never possess
