spoke hlunderlngly to pretty shop

red temporarily from the glove de-
partment, where he was long accus-
toned, to the hosiery stock, with
which he was not familiar; and, be-
sides, the loneliness of the customer
bewildered him a little.
This is a superior article" he said,
as he stretched a stocking in the man

in showing them; "the material is the
best, and for durability it can't be
beaten in the market. The model is

At that point the girl fled, leaving

SO worthless in the hosiery trade.

The Manners of Boys.
Peoples Family Paper.


Boys at certain age are apt to be
awkward.
Outdoor exercise and sports do
much to make them strong and
straight; yet is very common among
those who are growing fast-especial-
~ If they read or study good deal
to fad the head thrust forward, the
shoulders stopping, and an ungraceful
carriage.
Until these things are corrected, no
boy can be thoroughly strong and
vignorous.
Biting the nails is one of the most
annoying habits, and yet one which
almost any boy will fall into unless
his mother 'nips II in the bud"
Not only is it almost uncomfortable
for q nervous person to sit IN the room
with one of these nail biting boys, but
the young mans hands are injured in
appearance, and, If The habit be car
ried to excess, they will become almost
deforned.
A habit of snufing or of scraping
the throat, of tapping the floor with
the foot, or the table with the knuck-
les comes on gradually, but once
fixed, is exceedingly difficult to over
come.
Eternal vigilance" should be 8
mothers watchword, for the true Sc
cret of curing bad habits is in never
allowing them to be formed
''The ounce of prevention" is worth
more than the "poupd of cure"
! I would not take away ANYTHING OF
boyishness Or naturalness.
But do not see why boys should
not be as graceful and well hammered
as their sisters; why they cannot sit
down at table without hitting it AND
Earring the dishes as well as the tenn
pers of the whole family; why they
cannot eat slowly and noiselessly
why they cannot cross a room with.

Origin of the Word Texas.

In g. recent article published IN the
North American Review, Governor
Ireland Of Texas, assers that the word
Texas means welcome" and that on
the landing of the first white men on
the coast of Texas, the Indians greet
ed them with the exclamation Of
''Texas" or welcome" This theory,
according to a correspondent in the
Texas Voerwaerts. is not correct. In
the ancient Spanish archives, stored
away in the land office at Austin, il
appears that certain lands were situat-
ed en- Ell pals DIES los Tejas, or in the
country of the Texas or TEXAS Indians
K and j being pronounced alike. 1t
is well known that the Texas or TEXAS
Indians were tribe of indians were
tribe of Indians living in the valley
Of the Rio Grande, who were exter-
minated or driven off by more saw
age tribe. The word Texas or TEXAS
is the root of the names of all the In
dian tribes In Texas and Mexico. The
prefix indicated the locality of the
tribe. The As-Tejas, or Astecs, dwell
on high lands of Anahuac. The Toll
T. As, Or Toltecs, lived as far South as
Yucatan. The Huas TEXAS lived on
the Gulf coast, between Matamoras

Plantation Philosophy.
The Century.

If we expect to be happy we must be
busy; it is better TO hunt up hornets
next ana fight than to &c out of a
job; no idle man ever was happy,
and but few idle men are innocent
long.
It was never intended that man
should be perfect on earth; the great
thing is, never to miss the bull's-eye,
but to get a little nearer to it every
time.
Those who mould and move most
the minds and actions of men are
seldom seen. They never head the
procession.
My dear youth, when you must
talk about yourself, pray don't men
ton your good luck; the world doesn't
care to listen to such things.
You may put the world down as a
mob OF fools, but don't forget this
1t takes smart man to beat them.
No man ever did a polite thing yet
without feeling little prouder for it.
Justice ought to be as cheap as the
dew, but half the time it costs more
to get it than it is worth.

HUMAN MUSCLES.
The Theory Advanced That They
Have the Power of Memory.
Pittsburgh Telegraph


Did it ever occur to you,' said a
well-known local pianist, who spends
considerable time in though, "that
human muscles have a memory of
their own, and that they perform their
fun ctions without special orders from
the MIND at times?"
swell, yes" replied the writer, as
he sat down at the piano and uncon-
sciously began exercising his muscles
on the keys. st don't suppose Hun
garian working IN de itch gives his
arms special orders how to manipulate
spade when he cuts out lump Of
terra frma."
That's very primitive illustra-
tion," resumed the other, at the same
time closing the piano, locking it, and
putting the key Ia his pocket, land if
you had trained your mind to pick
out examples supporting arguments
in a discussion you would have
dropped upon much better one. For
I assume that you are capable of un-
derstanding that when you follow
your calling you would make dis
NAL failure if you had to interrupt the
working of your mind each moment
to tell your fingers how to make let

that all you have to do in writing an
article is to allow your thoughts full
scope, and your fingers will put down
the words, spelling and all correct,
without instructions from the brain.

their functions independently of the
mind" he continued after pause,
scientists call the action instinct.
Whether that is proper or not, | cam
say, but it gives us reason to believe
that man has more than one advant-
age above animals. Philosophers
hold that the only advantage is the
reasoning power, but here we see q
faculty of acquiring instinct which
no animal possesses.
But even writing is rot an illus
tration of the highest order in appli-

Love and Notwithstanding.

An article in the Philadelphia
Times on Notwithstanding Rear AID
miral J. J. Almy, y. S. N, relates
the following incident:
Love and matrimony once came in
SIS incidents ia the course of this block
AIDE service. Ports and towns may be
blockaded, but loving hearts can
never be, although hard hearted pa
rents sometimes attempt it.
When the Grey hound was captured
vessel and cargo adjudged by the
prize courts to be worth half million
dollars-among the passengers on
board was the noted Belle Boyd, who
had been prisoner before IN the war
in the hands of General Butler, and
who had been made somewhat famous
by her general department, her
speeches, and her pertness. The
Grey hound was taken to Boston, was
adjudged a lawful prize, and was con-
demned. Belle Boyd and the other
passengers and officers and crew were
released and permitted to go wherever
they pleased. From Boston they all
went to Halifax and from thence to
England.
The prizG-master of the Greyhound
was young volunteer officer with
the rank of Acting Master in the
United States navy, and rather a
good looking fellow. 1t seems that
while on board the Grey hound he
and Belle Boyd became greatly inter
ested in each other and their feelings
ripened into affectionate friendship.
After they separated at Boston a fer
dent correspondence was commenced
and continued between them and they
became engaged. He resigned from
the Federal navy and proceeded to
England and they were married in
Liverpool. Subsequently she wrote
an interesting book about her life and
adventures, in which she gives a
graphic account of her courtship and
marriage. with ali attending incidents.
Her career was certainly full of the
most eventful, heroic and romantic
features-a career softened and varied
at the same time, and which showed
that hearts could be captured as well
as blockade runners.
It may not be generally known, or
may have been forgotten by the pub
lie, that Belle Boyd was the daughter
of Gen. Boyd, of the confederate
army, who died while a prisoner to
the federal forces. He possessed vast
estates in Virginia, early embraced
the cause of southern independence,
and was soon nltrusted with a gener-
ais command. His daughter Belle
enthusiastically embraced the same
cause, followed her father to the field.
and accompanied him throughout his
campaigns. On two occasions, like a
modern Joan of Arc, she heroically
led on the troops to battle. She was,
however. captured in skirmish, and
was prisoner for thirteen months, as
previously mentioned. Then she was
exchanged for General Cochrane, who
had been made prisoner by the con-

They Took Seats.
Detroit Free Press.

Two young Detroiters, who are &C
quainted with a country schoolmaster
having a school about twelve miles
from the city, were invited out to a
spelling-school a few nights since,
and they took a horse and buggy and
drove out. There was large gather
ing of farmers and an exciting contest
was looked for. Just previous to the
beginning of the exercises a young fell
low whose head would have bumped
a six-foot mark and whose weight was
100 pounds, called one of tae De
troiters aside and asked:
care you two fellers going to spell q

"You do, eh9 Now, you look a-here
I've come here tonight to spell this

They stood up with him until all
the others went down, and then at a
look full of deepest meaning both
missed and left him vicior. When he
had carried of the honors he came
around and said:
"Much obleeged, and hope you
don't feel hurt. Shouldn't have cared
about it, but Susan had her heart sot
on it, and Susan's got eighty acres of
land and drove of sheep"

There are no new fashions to talk of

brown velvet dress for lady of that
city, on which have placed 90, 900
francs worth of furs I furnish every
thing, and it will be worth nearly
$50, 600 when finished. As to shapes,
it is rather too early to speak. but the
idea is 10 make wafty and bright
things, such as could be worn in Bal

part, shall be glad when we get back

have brought in steels again. They
make a good adjustment. Of course
there are many Paris ladies who do
dress well at home, and who wear
pretty robes, pretty slippers, and all
that. This is because they sensibly
change their costumes when they
come from the street, their carriage or
the park.
