A Good Word for American Girls.

American girls are apt to hear,
with good deal of irritation, any
criticism on their habits and man.
ners from foreigners, bnt they will
publicly listen with patience to the
Impressions of one Of their own
countrymcn on tbs subject, on his
return home after prolonged alb
sence of years in Europe. He is a
man we'll known IN the scientific
world, and gave his impressions to
a reporter of the Albany Express.

The daughters of many of the
American mechanics have aristo-
cratic features, which would become
the princesses of the houses Of
IIapsbnrg and Guelph better than
do their own. The claims Of long
descent have often resulted in
heavy, sullen sensual traits-the
results OF high living and inactivity;
while the daughter of our workmen
frequently has the fine, sensitive
features which are supposed to in.
dictate generations Of gentle blood
and thorough breeding.
The American girl is more keen
witted and better informed than
her English sister; her sympathles
are finer. She has taste in dress
and fact of manner wholly want
ing to the other. Her gown or her
words are never offensive. She is
brilliant, virtuous, fricn'lly-but she
is not womanly. Men like to pro.
tect a woman, and the chief aim OF
American girlsis to show that they
need no protection. Hence the

women lack

The fruit of success ripens slowly.
The luxury Of luxuries is that OF

The greatest of faults is to be

The path of life is beset with
thorns, and they who are not afraid

Useful knowledge can have no

it cherishes youth, delights the

Postage Stamps---How Prepared.

clear starch, or rather IFS dextrine,
which is acted upon chemically and
then boiled, forminga clear smooth,

Of stamps is taken separately,
placed upon a fat board, and it's
edges covered with a light metal
frame. Then the paste is smeared
on with a large whitewash brush,
and the sheet is laid between two
wire racks and placed on q pile
with Others to dry. Great care is
taken in the manufacture of this
paste, WHICH is perfectly harmless.
This gratifying fact has been con

Mrs. Major Fontenel shook a
clond sof fragrance from the satin
folds of her fan, and moved her
head little disdaiutully.
Flattering as these brotherly con-
hdences might be, their spirit was Is;
not exactly in unison with the still
tender relations which she would
have preferred. She had been a
widow for ten years now, and IN

And she enacted her part so
perfectly that Florian, in spite
of his own senses, was almost con,
yinced that she had never cared
for him at all. But to her French
maid, Jeanne, she said angrIly;
when at last she returned home and
flung her elegant wrapp'n%s reck'
lessly on the sofa:
"There bursts the brightest buh,

Florian smiled to himself. "She

thought he.
And the nextmorning he walked
over the old stone bridge, and out
across the fields to the old house
which Leonidas Mandeville had
died in. The upper blinds were
all AS carefully closed and bolted as
if the old mans corpse still lay in
the echoing rooms; but the base
mept windows were thrown open to
admit the fresh October air, and a
round dark face, brilliant as that
of a Spanish senorlta, appeared AT
the door to answer his knock.

ed, wrinkles betoken an anxious
spirit, the smile fades from his lips.
Absorbing care has fastened upon
him, and, though he imagines he is
free, he is in fact, and for the time,
a slave.
Or he has entered political life,
with high hopes and bright pros
spects. He counts much upon his
friends, he undertakes large enter
prises, and binds himself by many
promises. Presently complications
arise; obstacles impede his path;
friends grow cold aud enemies
spring up; his aims seem to recede
from him, even his motives become
clouded; care overshadows him, and
he can no longer controlit; his free
dom is gone. One is extravagant-
and yielding to his inclination or
vanity, he spends first upSo his III

incurs liabilities which he cannot

supremacy over him that he can i'll
no way throw off. Another gives
way to some temptation, and
wrecks bis own life and the happi-
ness of all that are dear to him,
and the care that guilt brings sits
forever at his board. One is i'm
rnersed in details and takes the
cares that properly belong to many
others upon his own shoulders, un
til they weigh him to the earth;
another, by neglecting to hold the
threads of life in an orderly way,
becomes entangled in a web of
care, from Which he struggles in
vain to extricate himself. Thus,
in numerous ways, do men give up
The liberty they profess to prize;

that has writhed under such a

it with glllness, even at the loss
of much that he holds dear9 Yet,
like all tyranny, it must cost q rev.
