A Little More Heart.

A little more heart in the things we do,
And the sun will shine softer, the skies
will be blue;
4 little more heart in the words We say,
And the lives Will be sweeter we i've by
the way,
a little more heart in the help that we
lend
And tie claim Will be stronger That binds
friend to friend:
a little more heart in the toll mat we
take.
a little more striving for only love y
sake,
\ little r,ore heart in life's song and its
prayer,
And the roses will hide every ache and
each care!

Jenny WASHINGTON.

Philip Vickers Fithian, a tutor at
Nomini Hall, Virginia, in 1774, gives
this description of Washington's niece,
Miss Jenny Washington. Evidently
she was personable young lady,
with all the graces Of her! time.
Miss Washington is about seven
teen. She has not handsome Face,
but is neat in her Dress, of an agree
able Size & we'll proportional and has
an easy winning Behaviour; She is
not forward to begin conversation,
yet when spoken to she is extremely
affable, without assuming any Girlish
affectatiOn Or pretending to be over
charg'd with Wit; She plays well on
the Harpsichord & Spinet; under
stands the principles of Musick, C
therefore performs her Tunes in Ier-
feet time, a Neglect of which always
makes mlsick intolerable, but it is
fault almost universal among young
Ladies in the practice; she sings like
wise to her instrument, has strong
full voice and well-judging Ear; but
most of the Virginia Girls think it La
bour quite sufficient to thump the
KEEPS of a Harpsichord into the air
of a time mechanically, & think it
would be Slavery to submit to the
Orudgery of acquiring Vocal Musick."

A Royal Judge.

The Prince of Montenegro, on cer-
tain days, sits under the Judgment
tree outside his palace at Cettinje to
hear complaints and try offenders,
The parties conduct their own cases
and the Prince gives decisions in the
combined character of sovereign and
Judge. Trivial disputes are settled
by the local kneezes, who generally
act as peacemakers. The supreme
court Of Cettinje is called the Veliki
Sud. 1t has jurisdiction, both appel
late and concurrent, over the whole
principality, and from its decision in
civil matters there is no appeal. In
criminal cases, however, the Prince
may pardon or may mitigate sen
fences. Crime in general is rare.

Stimulate the Blood.

Brandreth's Pills are the great blood
purifier. They are laxative and blood
tonic, they act equally on the bowels, the
kidneys and the skin, thus cleansing the
system by the natural outlet of the body.
They stimulate the blood so as to enable
pure state of the blood. One or two taken
every night will prove invaluable.
Each pill contains one grain of solid ex.
tract of sarsaparilla, which, with other
valuable vegetable products, make it q
blood purifier of excellent character.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use for
over century and are sold in every drug
and medicine store, plain or sugar-coated.
