Girls AnaIyticaliy Considered

Girls are of few days and full of mis-
chief, and whatsoever is deceived there
by is not wise.
When the fair young girl cheweth her
gum in greater haste, and stampeth her
pretty foot, do thou then look out.
She cometh forth in the evening in
low neck and short sleeves; but morn
ing she lieth in bed while her mother
hustleth.
When the sleigh bell tinkleth she
standeth at the window and yearneth
for beau, and when he cometh she
doeth up his purse. He wrappeth the
buffalo robe about her and huggeth her
and stayeth out beyond his time, and
the livery man addeth four good dollars
to his bill
In the evening he hieth himself away
to her fathers mansion. He goeth in
and stitch by the fire, and ere he
leaveth he poppeth the question and she
jumpeth at the chance
When the cock croweth he taketh his
departure, and when he remembereth
the smallness of his salary, he kicketh
himself aud compareth himself to the
donkey; yea; verify.

Pearls Of ThOughf.

A bad way to read other peoples
hearts is to try to conceal your own.
Honesty sometimes keeps a man
from becoming rich, ciyility from
being witty.
Nothing can occur beyond the
strength Of faith to sustain or tran
descending the resource of religion
to relieve.
AS the sword of the best-tempered
metal is most flexible, so the truly
generous are most plant and cour-
teous in their behavior.
If you have built castles in the air
your work need not be lost. That
is where they should be; but put
foundations under them.
There are a good many realmiscr-
les in life that we cannot help smil-
ING at, but they are the smiles that
make wrinkles but not dimples.
1t is the way with half the truth
amidst which I'VE live, that it only
haunts us and makes dull pulsations
that are never born into sound.
Persons extremely reserved are
like old enameled watches, which had
painted covers that hindered your
seeing what o'clock it was.
Happiness is not outside, but in
side. A good heart and clear con-
science bring happiness, which no
riches and no circumstances alone
ever do
''The greatest folly" said Sancho,
'sthat q man can commit in the world
is to give himself up to death with
out any good cause for it, but only
from melancholy"
Have your courage to show your
respect for honesty, in whatever
guise it appears; and your contempt
for dishonest duplicity, by whomso-
ever exhibited.
We all find the hardest and most
hopeless work of our lives the effort
to keep our highest ideas and our
commonest occupations in constant
and healthy contact with each other.
Blessed is the man who has found
his work; let him ask no other bless
edness. Know your work and do it,
and work at it like Hercules. One
monster there is in the world-the
idle man.
The difficulties of education lie
deeper down than the criticism. 1t
is not so much finding out what to
teach that is needful; the all-import-
ant thing is how to develop the men,
tai and moral energies.

A Wonderful Clock.

Probably the most wonderful time
piece ever heard of, is clock described
by Hindoo Rajah as belonging to a
native Princess of Upper India. In
front of the clocks disk was gong.
swung upon poles. and near it was
pile of artificial limbs. The pile was
made up of the full number of parts
for twelve perfect bodies, but all lay
heaped together in seeming confusion.
Whenever the hands of the clock in
dicate the hour of l, out from the pile
crawled just the number of parts to
form the frame of one man, part join
ing itself to part with quick metallic
click, and when completed the figure
sprang up. seized small mallet, and
walking up to the gong struck one, the
first hour. When o'clock came, two
men rose up and did likewise; and so
through all the hours of the day, the
number of figures being the same as
the number of the hour, till at noon
and midnight the entire heap sprang
up, and marching to the gong struck
one after another each his blow, MAX
ing twelve in all, and then fell to
pieces again.

A Remarkable Disease.

The roller skate craze that has seized
body and soul upon the people OF this
country has spread rapidly within the
past few months. In 1881, while
travelling in the West a ID on the Pacific
coast, says a writer in the Pittsburgh
Dispatch, l visited many towns that
contained flourishing rinks, and learned
that the pastime had taken quite a
hold on the young people of both sexes.
Returning to the east, found that the
epidemic had obtained good foothold
here, which has spread with amazing
rapidity this winter, until now its
ravages are viewed with alarm and
dismay by pulpit and PRESS. In look
ing over a volume the other day that
contained accounts of different manias
that have taken hold of nations in past
years, | came across the following.

In the month of February, 1868, the
Europeans resident at Antananarivo,
the capital of Madagascar, began to
hear rumors of new disease, which it
was said had appeared in the west or
southwest. The name given to it by
the natives was 'imanenjana,' and the
dancers were called 'ramanjana,
which probably comes from a root
signifying to make tense. The name
did not convey any idea of its nature,
and the accounts given of it were SO
vague as to mystify rather than en-
tighten. After a time, however. it
reached the capital. and in the month
of March began to be common. AT

other attendants, dancing in the public

A Luckless Lover.

In his last book, Society of Vienna"
Count Paul Vasili gives novel expla-
nation of the remarkably retired life Of
King Louis of Bavaria. 1t appears
that his Majesty has long been suffer-
ing from the effects of love, and here
is what the cruel Count says Of him:
king Louis was wildly in love.
With whom will not say. One day
as he was bringing to his lady, Just as
common, unregal lovers do, a magnii-
Gems bouquet, he happened by accident
to pass unnoticed into her little salon,
where he found himself alone I'M
mediately he began to arrange the
flowers in vase Having finished
this delicate operation, he started to
leave, but just then saw his beloved
one coming home in company with a
young man. So he concealed himself
behind curtain in order to enjoy the
surpise and delight, as he thought Of
the young lady at the sight of the
flowers brought to her by her royal ad-
mirer Well she came into the room
but not alone. Her cavalier was with
her. Heaven! she exclaimed, another
bouquet from that fool of a King
whom detest! Then turning to her
friend, she invited him to kiss away
the annoying impression. The invita-.
tion was vigorously accepted, and his
concealed Majesty, although half blind
ed with the tears in his eyes, managed
to crawl out unobserved. Then he
cursed the 'unfaithful one, and swore
that he would never again love and
never marry. He kept his oath; and
since that time, if the unfortunate
sovereign has lived in solitude and has
become the dreamer that he is known
to be, it is because he has long been
convinced that reveries can some
times give as much happiness as reali-
ties, and that they are less liable to be
deceptive.
