A Swimming Lesson In Venice.

II the way is warm we shall see
plenty Of Venetian boys swimming in
the canals wearing nothing but pair
of light trousers, and they care 30
little for our approach that we are
afraid our gondolas will run over them.
The urchins are very quick and act
i've, however, and we might as well
try TO touch fish as one OF them.
Ionco q Venetian girl about sixteen
years old, who was sitting upon the
steps of house teaching her young
brother to swim. The little fellow
was very small and she had tied a
cord around his waist, one end Of
which she held in her hand. She
would let the child get into the water
and paddle away rs well as he could,
When he seemed tired, or when he had
gone far enough, she pulled him in.
She looked very much rs if she was
fishing, with small boy for bait

Mrs. Minnie Scott:
DEAR MADAM-Your letter portray
ing condition which greatly excites
nv sympathy is received. I have
many such, and find it utterly impos-
siblo TO comply with the requests for
aid which they contain in a great
many cases.
I am so well convinced of your
truthfulness and good faith that L am
constrained to send you small sum,
which hope will add to your com.
fort and that of the young triplets. l

cused from the attempt to give nam es

Miss Cleveland Gets q Letter.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton has writ,
ten from TenablS New Jersey, an
open letter 10 Miss Cleveland, desir.
ing her, in view Of her exalted posi-.
ton M first lady OF the land, 10 load
a movement 10 check tho present ten
denoy OF women to dress immodest-
w. Mrs. Stanton submits three
propositions: l Who starts new
fashionsi 2 What is their relation
10 health, comfort convenience and
beauty 3 What is their elect on
the morals OF the individual and
society," Considering tho question
of health as related to low corsage
she thinks that il the ladies cannot
reconcile themselves TO such strin-
gent measures as draping ali the
the display of the lower
limbs would be less injurious, as
none OF the vital organs arc located
in that part of the human frame. She
asserts that our fashions come main
ly from courtesaps Of France, whose
chief study is to play on the passions
of men, and all dressing Is with that
view. sour innocent girls, she says,
stake tho example OF these kind OF
women without understanding the
philosophy on which their fashions
are based" Mrs. Stanton appeals
to Miss Cleveland to give to her
countrywomen an exhaustive essay
on the subject.
We suppose the following "execu-
tive order" may be considered a
to the above. Both arc
moves in the right direc'
ton:

Good Rules.

The following rules wero adopted
by Elizabeth Fry, the distinguished
English Quakeress, minister, writ
or and missionary:
]. Never lose any time. ] do not
think that lost which is spent in
amusement or recreation every day;
but always be in the habit of being
employed.
2. Never err the least in truth.
3. Never say an i'll thing of per-
son when thou canst say good thing
of him. Not only speak charitably,
but feel so.
4. Never be irritable or unkind to
anybody.
s. Never indulge in Injuries that
are not neceeary.
6. Do all things with considera-
ton, and when thy path TO act right
is most difficult, put confidence in
that power alone whice is able to as
sist thee, and exert thine own pow
ers as far us they go.
