SoMETME.-It is a sweet, sweet

are over, then there is the peace and
the rest appointed of God. Oh, home

shadow of even clouds, across whose
threshold the voice of sorrow is never
heard; built upon the eternal hills, and
standing with thy spires and pinnacles

palm trees of the city on high, those

Mrs. Stephens, in her monthly mag

like of whom are seen in every COM
murity, the benefit of her opinion, as
| follows: .r -f,., $3.50 es.as; -a.,se


Our own private opinion on the
'lady's man is, that he is thoroughly
cOntemptible--a sort of life hardly
worth thinking about-a nutshell with
the kernel withered up-a handful ot
foam drifting over the wine, of life


something not altogether unpleasant to
the fancy, but of no earthly use, A wo-
man of sense would as soon be put to
sea in man-of7war made of shingles,
or take up residence in card house, as
dream of attaching herself to a lady
lover. ......i... .-.,..l !.
Women worth the. name are seldom
deceived into thinking our lady's man
the choicest specimen of his sex. What
ever their ignorance may be, womanly
intuition must tell them that the men
who live for a great object, and whose
spirits are so firmly knit that they are
able to encounter the storms of life
men whose depth and warmth of Feeling
resemble the powerful current of a
mighty river, and not the bubbles on
its surface-who, if they love are never
smitten by mere beauty of form and


features-these men are more worthy
even of occupying their thoughts in idle
moments than the fops and men about
town with whose attentions they amuse
themselves, If we were to tell him
this he would only laugh; he has no
pride about him, although full of vsni-
ty, and it matters not to him what we
may broadly affirm or quietly insinuate e.


Soft and delicate though he be, he
is as impervious ito ridicule as a hod
carrier, and as regardless of honest con-
tempt as city alderman. Were you
to hand him this article, he would take
it to some social party and read it aloud,


in the most mellifuous voice, as an
homage to his own attractions. isis

The North Carolina, Wilmington and
Manchester railroad company have
placed a novel sort of loan upon She
London market The novelty of the
proposition consists in the fact that the
company Offers to take a certain portion
of the loan in Confederate cotton bonds,
at twenty-five cents on, the dollar. As
these bonds are nearly all held in Eng
land, where they have been quoted as low
as four to five per cent, it is not sur
prising that the agents of the loan have
already received hundreds of letters
asking for particular information, and
the Confederate cotton bondholders will

TIE BoDY OF AN INFANT FOUND IN A WELL.
On Tuesday last package was seen floating
on the water in public well near the house
of John E. Henry, Esq, in Davenport, which,
on getting it out was found to contain the
body of a newly born male child. The child
had evidently been born alive and had been
sewed up in white muslin skirt, and thrown
into the well, which is some forty feet in
depth. The package apparently had been
done up in haste. 1t was sewed with black
thread and in bungling manner. The body
was delivered to the coroner, and the police
notified. Efforts are being made to dis
cover the murderer of the child.

In this beautiful world of ours, which
God so kindly suited to the wants, both
moral and physical, of man, and in which
order and beauty is harmoniously and
skillfully arranged on land, ocean, and
in the skies, we find one thing which
always makes us sad. 1t is death. Every.
thing around US is subject to decay, and
we too, poor creatures of q span, will
soon pass from earth like music from a
harp.


But there are some things which never
die. If we keep our thoughts pure, they
will be like fragrance Of the rose or by.
acnth-they will shed a benign influence
over us, and speak in our gentle man
ners. As the hyacinth yields its sweet
est perfumes to those who trample on it,
so we should ever be ready to forgive
those who injure US.


Kind actions never die. If we are
kind to those by whom we are surrounded
they will be irresistibly impelled to love
us whether we possess wealth and beauty
or not; and when we leave this earthly
habitation, it will be with the sweet as
surance that we will not be forgotten by
those whom we have loved. Kind ac-
tions, like most takers and merit are to
large extent, the subject of voluntary
culture; the performance of kind deeds
should be looked upon by us as duty
which we owe alike to ourselves and to
society. An act Of kindness often leaves
an impression of happiness on hearths
which were before corroding with malice,
or sinking into despair. One who
smothers all his feelings and never does
his fellow man favor, would be sup
prised to know how much ones disposl-
ton and moods are under ones control,
and how much the lustre of the outward
scene may be effected by the light within
his bosom. .r.s rt..-... fH


Kind words never die When We
sleep, they live in the hearts of those
who have listened to their music; they
are felt by all who are in the circle OF
their influence, and they charm the bitter
darkness of grief and leave a spell of
content. Kind words refresh the heart
and make it healthy, they blunt arrows,
round the edge of the sharp sword and
procure refreshing slumber. The gloom
and shadows which pass over the mind,
make us wretched and miserable, but The
influences of kind words are waited over
it like pleasant summer breezes, they
throw a charm over all the acts of
life, and spread their genial rays
over the heart, amid the trials and diff
eulties of the world. When oppressed
by care and weighed down by misery,
we should have little encouragement to


.l., IL. ...A kxr
misfortune we're it not for the words OF
kind friends. Who has not felt, when
desolate and bereaved, the influence of
kindness strike as with the prophets
rod, the rock of his wounded feelings,
and make the waters of sympathy once
more gush forth who has not felt the
power of kind words ooursing like an
electric fuid from one compass OF his
being to another, retaining their serenity
through the storms and trails of life.

A physician says he was going down

steamer (engines were upon the deck),
and he sauntered in that direction to see
the working Of the machinery. Near by
stood man apparently bent on the same
object. In few moments squeaklns
noise was heard on the opposite side of
the engine. Seizing the oil-can, a gi-
gantic one by the way, the engineer
sought out the dry spot, and to prevent
further noise of the kind, literally ap-
piled the contents of his can to every
Joint. All went on well for awhile, when
the squeaking was heard in another di-
rection. The oiling process was repeated
and quiet restored but as the engineer
was coming quietly around toward the
spot occupied by the doctor and the
stranger, he heard another squeak. This
time he detected the true cause of the
difficulty. The stranger was ventrllo-

The record of a mans moral and in
tcllectuaI life is written in his face, in
such indelible and striking lines that
anybody tolerably well skilled in the
science of physiognomy can quickly
and accurately measure subtle, unseen,
character. There is an old maxim that
"blood tells" and it does reveal its
gentle Or boorish, its virtuous or vici-
Gus nature in physical movements of
the body and modes of expression, and
also in prevailing and related ideas.
So, likewise, character is perpetually
struggling against the bonds of re-
straint, and pushing out into the broad
daylight of actual recognition. BY
carful rcticencc at the right time, and
a sort of negative habit Of life, combin-
ed with shrewd management, man
may pass current for altogether more
than his actual value. But sooner or
later, the muscles of the face and the
speaking eye let out the secret of the
interior life.


1t is great study, these human
faces looking up from the audience
room, the social circle, the street, the
the car, beaming out an effulgence of
sympathy and goodness, or frowning
under the rigors Of disappointment, Or
flashing out defiance and contempt for
the sources of their discomfort. The
young man who aspires to nothing
higher than the character of univer-
sal "bruiser," may forget that his
coarse passions are all photographed
upon his face in such a manner that all
discerning people can read him through
at almost the first glance. We cannot
"see ourselves as Others see us" and
that explains away very much of the
impudence and swagger of the multi
tude, which pass for genuine energy
and life. Ifyou would know more of
an acquaintance than age, occupation,
capacity and temper--if you would in
spect the secret sources where he draws
supplies of impulse and of comfort
along life's toilsome and dusty path
way, look into his face and read the
whole elaborate story Of his strivings,
his loves and aversions, his triumphs
and failures. It's all there, locked up
in feshy characters, in the folds and
furrows made by the plough-share Of
time and toll, or the exhausting stimu-
lants of license and prodigality. We
literally turn ourselves inside out
through the face. The love, the COM
posure, the passion, the unrest, the
hatred and revenges, the strength and
the weakness, the angel and the beast
of our natures, all collect and come to
a focus in the face, and make disclos-
ures which no magical arts can conceal.
And it seems to us that when the
great Apostle said "scm, mems sins
are open beforehand, going before the
Judgment" he must have been looking
into the hypocritical faces Of the old
Scribes and Pharisees. Throughout
all her wonderful array Of diversity
and magnifcence, Nature abhors con-
cealment, and this accounts for, and
magnifes, too, the revelations of char
acter shining through the human face
divine.
