Hints the dulled dross with its own sign. SUBJECTS FOB THOUGHT. .There is nothing that so refines the face nd mind as the presence of good thoughts. What I admire in Columbus, is not his having discovered a world, hut his having gone to search for it on the faith of an opinion. Turgot. ... v . The secret laws of human relations are like those of chemistry, an instant of time is enough for blending where the affinity is true; .an eternity is not enough if the affinity does not exist. ,, ; Suffer this advice, friend: If you are leaning on anvbodv, stop it. Start vourself in business, and don't wait to be started. Look up a job of work for yourself if you are out ot employment, and don t wait tor mends to find it for you. If o work, however menial, can make an honest poor man lose his self-respect. Do whatever you can set to do, and do it so well that your employer will see that you are fit for something better, and the time is not far on when you will begin to rise.' Always say a kind word if you can, if only that it mav come in, perhaps, with a singu lar opportuneness, entering some mournful . man's darkened room like beautiful fire fly whose happy circumvolutions he can not but watch, forgetting his many troubles. Let everv man do his best to discounten ance the abominable habit of swearing, and shun it as ah accursed sin in everv wav. No respectable person will ailow nimself to be guilty of it. Business men who make a habit of swearing will find themselves avoided by their best customers, for it is known that some persons can suffer no men tal punishment equal to profane language. Besides, every man known as a profane swearer will not be credited by those whose good opinion is worth having, even when he may be telling the truth. Tour enemy is it your feet, and it is in your power to crush him! Don't do it! Better is an ounce of forgiveness than thousand tons of vengeance! If a hardness and bitterness still linger ia vour heart if actual and deep wrongs have been inflicted upon you go and look at the nearest grave you will not have to go far and see what is the end of yourenemv and for you. Go and think for a moment beside the nearest grave stone how little worthy it is tor an immortal soul to be cherishing the passions of a wolf or a tiger, and then torgive your enemy as you need to be torgiven. There come times to us when we hardly know which way to turn or in which direc tion to look for aid. io man or woman fives to middle life without going through some hard places. Bitter experiences come to the heart. Dear ones are taken away. Eiches are dissipated. The trusted prove unworthy of confidence, and the soul is like a ship beaten off the wind and tossed, But there is always one way to look. Look up! There, far above the black clouds, forever shines the blue. There, somewhere out of sight, but inexpressibly near to the frail one who seeks His help, is the Friend who is ver waiting to be gracious.- I .. There is a very touching little story told of a poor woman with two children, who has not a bed for them to lie upon, and scarcely any cover for them. In the depth of winter they were nearly frozen, and the mother took the door of a cellar off the hinges, and set it up before the corner where they were crouched down to sleep, that some of the draft and cold might be kept from them. One of the chil dren whispered to her, when she complained of how badly off they were, "Mother, what do those dear children do who have no cellar door to put in front of them?" Even there, ' the little heart found cause for thankfulness. 4- . We smile at the ignorance of the savage who cuts down the tree in order to reach its fruits; but the fact is that a blunder of this description is made by every person who is over-eager and impatient in the pursuit of pleasure. To such the present moment is everything, and the future is nothing; he borrows, therefore, from the future at a most usurious and ruinous interest; and the consequence is that he finds the tone of his feel ings impaired, his seit-respect diminished his health of mind and body destroyed and life reduced to its very dreg; at a time when humanly speaking, the greatest portion of its comforts should be still before him. That boy was a true philosopher, who, when he lost his kite, thought he would cry about it, but immediately after concluded not to, and went home whistling. When asked if he wasn't sorry to lose his treasure he replied xes; but l can t tool awav much time in being sorry; I'm just going to make another one, and 1 guess a better one. A great many full grown men haven't learned that lesson yet. When they have spilt their milk on the ground they sit down close to the wet spot and dilute the lost lacteal fluid with their, briny tears. If, instead of this repining they would oaly skurry around they weuld soon find another and a bigger cow to be milked. Don't sulk, because it won't pay, Getting Over Yellow Fever. Chanter' Journal. L , an army doctor, noted for his voracious annetite. was Quartered in Kingston. Jamaica, and there got yellow fever. Bleed ing, calomel, blisters, and the other stereoiyped remedies of the day, failed to kill him, as they were killing scores around; he pulled through, physicians notwithstanding. , Une morning, during early convalesence, the highest medico-military authority of the isl and came to see him. "1 m awfully hungry, says the sick man. . "I'd like a first-rate din ner to-day some pepper-pot, mountain mul let, ducks and green peas, a black crab or two, and a jorum of sangaree. , The Inspector--General is dumb-struck at the nature and extent of his subordinate 8 menu. He shakes his head. "Gad, sir, it would kill you' cer tainly kill you. Take some chicken-broth little panada, and one glass no more of Maderia. Ducks and green peas! Black crabs! Black death, sir;" ana he goes his ways. But L 6ends for hii cook; and although that functionary ean not get all the delicacies his master orders, docs manage to secure the birds and the vegetables, which L eats to the last fragment, washes down with a full allowance of sangaree, sleeps and wakes in the morning like giant refreshed, Then comes the chief for his customary visit, feels his patient's pulse, makes the usual pro fessional inquiries, and is quite satisfied with his condition. "Ah!" he says, "better; d-e-normal. Now, my dear fellow, 1 if you had eaten those things you wanted, and more especially ducks and green peas; we would .have been, as I told you, measuring you for

yoyr coffin this morning, .and playing the

uend Jiarcn in baul at your funeral at sundown this evening. Good day r you'll be at your duty soon." And he was. ; But having told the story, and raised the laugh against the P. M. 0 (principal medical " officer,) that administrator sent him td vegetate at one of the most remote and out-of-the way stations in the. command, where even ofdinary beef and yams were scanty and ducks and green peas impossible, , r . A Stranger's Nose. Detroit Free Pre. Some ot those chaps who wear their elbows down thin leaning on saloon counters, have an artificial fly with a hne thread attached to the back, and sometimes these toys can be handled to the amusement of a small crowd. When an unknown- man yesterday fell asleep in a saloon on Michigan avenue the young man with an artificial fly was , there. He took a position behind his victim, who was lying back on his chair, and presently the flv lighted on the stranger's nose, walked up the bridge and down, and settled for a moment on the tip end. The sleeper never moved a finger. The fly went over the old route, down into the corner of the lett eye, galloped over to the right, and came down to the grand stand on a dead , run, but the sleeper slept on. It began to appear that he was used to flies, and so the game was changed. By sticking a pin through one of these toys you can make quite a bee of it, the pin being the stinger.; V hen the "bee decended on the strang ers nose every body expected to see' a sudden start, but it did not come. After a jab at the tip end the "bee" crawled along up, waiting for developments and getting in an occasional sting, but not even a sigh escaped the sleeper. The young man with the insect was getting tired, when the stranger lazily opened his eyes, slowly rose up from his chair, and coolly remarked: "Sow, then, if you have got done fooling with my nose, I'll fool with yours for awhile!" It isn't likelv that particular young man will ever dangle artificial flies any more. He was doubled up, straightened out, choked mopped, and slammed so thoroughly that his appetite will run to chicken broth and arnica for some days to come. When the cyclone had passed the stranger called for gin, drank it, and said to the . white-faced crowd on the bench. Gentlemen, if any more of vou see any thing particular about my nose, please call around at let me Know. Women's Growing Independence of Hen Boston Transcript. Perhaps it is because of the growing scarcity of available men, perhaps it is because of the increasing independence of the fair sex whatever the reason, it is a fact patent to all who frequent places of amuse ment in the evening without male escorts far more frequently than they did 11) years ago, and it is greatly to the credit of our city that they can do so with impunity. A lady would hardly go out alone ot an evening, but if ac compainied bv another of her sex, especially it one of the pair be tolerablv along in years it is not necessary to give exact Bges both feel comparatively safe. The result is that young men are not quite so much of a ne cessity as they ono were, and are made to feel that they are r.o longer indispensable, Time was when a young man, simply because he was a man, was permitted to feel that he was a very important creature, but now that a male escort can with propriety be dispensed with, he has been made to descend from his high horse. He was wont to impose his cheap "horse talk and slang on his lady friends, and was permitted to parade his conceit and ignorance simply because he was a necessary evil; but times have changed all that, and he now often finds that unless he can command respect by his knowledge, his character or his gentlemanly deportment, his room is consid ered more desirable than his company. All of which is having an excellent effect upon the average young man ot the period. , Stiange Causes of Death. 4 - Strange mischances with fatal results i daily happening here and there. A Boston butcher ran against a knife that lay on a block, severed an artery and bled to death. r - A Denver woman caught her foot in a rail road frog, and could not get loose before train ran over her. "A Vermont farmersneczed with a straw in Lis mouth drew it into his lungs and died choking. ... . . . A horse kicked a Michigan boy into a deep well, where he was drowned. .- The shoe flew off the foot of a kicking mule in Nashville, and fractured the skull of a baby. An Oregon girl swallowed her engagement ring, and lived only a week afterward. While standing on his head on the top of a high fence post, an Iowa boy lost his bal ance, tell into a tuhot water and was futauy scalded. .- ,., ... : ... A stone thrown by a . playfellow, broke glass from which a St. Louis boy was drink ing, driving some of the pieces down his throat; and he died a few days afterward in great agony. ' 1 iiooking up to watch the flight of an arrow, a Nashville woman did not see it descending directly over her head, and the sharp metal point penetrated her brain through one of her eyes, killing her instantly. A Serious Error. So many people rush unthinkingly into matrimony! Marriage is so often the result of circumstances which throw two people to gether ot a consideration ot the fitness things of momentary impulses, or of cool deliberation that which should be the hap piest state of things is often the unbappiest. And people speak of a wedding as they would a lottery, where there are more blanks than prizes. The only true matches are made by love, and when two people have really loved really loved from the depths of their very hearts -nothing can ever quite part them again. We do not say this of those who have only been called, or called themselves, lovers. A couple may be engaged, or, it mav be. even married, and yet that wonderful tie of great love may never- have existed 'between them. W hen it does exist, all the waters can not quench it, nor the seas cover it. Forever and forever at least, in the forever of life those two are more than any two who have not loved can be. Sometimes happy fate actually unites two who love thus, and they live a longj happy life together. - Learning to Sew. : Sunday Afternoon for Angnit. , I shall never forget my own childish tears and sulks over my sewing. My mother was a perfect rairy at her needle, and her rule was relentless, every long stitch was picked out and done over again, and neither tears nor entreaties availed to rid me of my task till it was properly done; every corner of a hem turned bv a thread: stitchin? measured by two threads to a stitch; felling of absolutely regular width, and patching done invisibly; while fine' darning was a sort, of embroidery.' I hated it then, but I. have lived to bless - that mother patient persistence and J am prouder to-day of the six patches in my small girl's school-dress which cannot be seen without searching than of any other handiwork except perhaps my bread!

ABOUT PRETTY WOMEN.

A Beautiful nod Sorrowful Polish Maiden. - ; ' , FornsT'a Progress. ,;i One of the most charming pictures .to be seen fn the shop windows of Munich and Dresden, is that of a beautiful young face with great lustrous eyes, perfect features, a mass' of chestnut hair, and an expression sweet almost beyond imagination. , The pictare is ottenest seen on porcelain. , It is of the bust, only, and shows the fair girl in an amber-colored "bodice, cut square and ex tremely low, exposing a neck and breast of most perfect beauty. ,. Of the many travelers who purchase copies of the picture, tew are acquainted with the history of the original. Indeed the shopkeepers, themselves, seldom know anything further than the name, to which they usually add some little improvised narrative of their own, to the effect that the countess Potocky was a very beauti ful, and a very sorrowful Polish maiden. Of course this narrative varies to suit the supposed temperaments aiid desires of the different purchasers. Near the town of Jultchin, in the Polish: province of Polodien, there is a beautiful park, with a wonderful fairy castle in the middle. Near the,, castle stands an obelisk, bearing the inscription "To the love of Sophia Potocky. J. his is the lady whose pictures every traveler buys. She was a Greek, and the picture is in the costume of her country in the beginning of the present century. Her history is a won- ; derful piece of romance. It must have been about a dozen years bctore the breaking out of the revolution of 1792, that the ambas sador of France, at Constantinople, in one of his walks through the less known streets of that great city, noticed, playing among other children, a young girl of exceeding beauty. TT. . n. 1 i . V - J ; 1 xi e caueu ner to nun, aau, on questioning uei; learned that she was the child of a Greek baker, living m one of the neighboring streets, lhe ambassador was not more enchanted with the beauty than with thenaivedemeanor : the little 12 year old, who evidently had been born in poverty, and whose playhouse was the gutter. lie arranged that the child should meet him the next day, with her mother, at the French legation. His mind was made up to endeavor to purchase the little damsel, and to take her away with him to Franca. At the appointed hour the mother and ch'ld appeared, and the ambassador, who was evidently experienced in the bus iness he proposed to himself, met the baker s ife with a direct offer for tho sale of her daughter. The good woman pretends to be greatly shocked at a proposal of such a charactor, and wept much. On considering, however, that the sale of a child was not such an unusual thing, after all, in Stamboul, and on glancing a second time at the 1,500 gold piasters which the gentleman had temptingly spread out before her, she dried her tears, and with a groan pocketed the money, and parted from her child . lorevcr. r or three years the ambassador snared neither money nor pains to secure to his little Greek protege that perfect cultivation of mind and manners which should fit her to reign as a queen among the aristocratic circles ol Tuns. Music-masters, governess, dancing-master, teachers of langunges, all were brought from France for her, and her industry and growing talent rewarded him a hundred-fold. Her beauty increased with her accomplishments. The ambassador was overioved at the ex ceeding great result of his speculation with the baker's wife. He was, in short, in love with his pretty foster-child, and, to prevent some younger wooer gaining the prize he had been so long in securing, he determined to marry her.' But, as bad fortune would have it, he was shortly recalled irom lus post, and bade to appear immediately in Paris. He set out at once, and, in company with his Greek affianced, journeyed through European Turkey and into Poland, Parisward. : As he ncared the fortified town of Podolien, the commander of the district, Count dp Witt, sent him ' a most pressing invitation to stop over for a few days, and enjoy the pleasures of the hunt. The ambassador was a passion ate friend of the chase, and promptly accepted the count's hospitality. To say that all went merry as a marriage bell, in the castle of the count, would be to express very mildly: the good times which the Frenchman, his beau tiful companion and the count himself were enjoying. .fcycryDoay admired, not only me sweet face, but the mild character and lovely manners of the little Greek. . If there were a party, she was sure to be the honored guest. Were there a hunt, she rode the fleetest horse. A ball, she was the queen. That Count de Witt proposed being anything but a hospitable entertainer toward the travelers never entered the ambassador's mind. In fact, he considered all the courtesies of the occasion as being so many honors intended for himself. The maiden, however, had not been so slow to observo that Do Witt was deeply impressed with her charms, and she remarked, besides, that the question of years was very much against the ambassador as compared with his secret rival. The count was so very handsome, too, and so gallant. Still there was only silence and glances, which any but a conceited old Trench ambassabor, blind in love, would have discovered as the portents of a storm. One day the am. bassador started out with his followers ort his usual hunt; Count de Witt, being a trifle ,in disposed, stopping in the castle. - jNo sooner was the old gentleman well into the woods, than the most unusual preparations were noticed going ' on within, the fortress. Flowers were festooned about the doorway of the fair stranger's lodgings, and bright mosses and green leaves arched the pathway to the fortress chapel.' Soon the count, who had recovered most unexpectedly from, the morning's illness, appeared, accompanied by the proper number ot groomsmen, and priest of thp Greek church. It was but the work of a moment. The prayer was said, the blessing granted, and the lovely affianced of the French ambassador had become the Countess de Witt. A follower of the ambassador, who had not joined in the chase that day, and" who, from the strange arrange ments he had witnessed, and Irom the merry ringing of the fortress bells, which he now heard, suspected that : something must be wrong, secretly rode from the castle in search of his master. He soon found him, and the two hurried back to the castlo gale, only to find it barred. An adjutant of Count de Witt apppeared. and read the marriage con . tract to the ambassador, handed him his bag gage and and traveling effects, and invited him to be off. His exequatur was recalled, so to speak. , For three years the command ant of the fortress of Kamientz boasted of possessing the handsomest wife in Poland. He was a happy man. One thing only dis turbed tha perfect serenity which a than married to a great beauty, may demand. He was poor. Beautiful birds like fine feathers, and, if they are Grecian female birds, like golden cages to live in. Still tho handsome countess never intimated discontent. She had, however, placed no obstacles in the way of beinc admired occasional! v bv a neigh boring rand-proprietor, bearing the name of Count Totocky. lie was the richest man in that part of Poland. He owned 10 towns, 90 villages - and 80,000 slaves. One day be met Commandant De Witt, and frankly enough said to him: "Count, I must be plain with you. I can't live without your wife, and you are aware that you are in uo sense suited to each other.. , I have come to buy her. Here are two million guilders, if w--ii aiiin aaina ipiuu i-. iiutii Fan i aatn sainaa en ' divorce." . This wag what,, in a later dav,

would be called astuaning proposition. Stifl the count considered and to consider ah evil is to adopt it. Divorce were easily obtained in Poland, then. ' The count was in debt, the

countess was willing. Why hot? The bar gain was, without any unseemly delay, concluded, and the Countess de Witt became the Countess Potocky. She made him a good wife, the narrators tell, and for 15 years the happy couple managed together his immense estates. - They-lourneyed yearly .to Berlin, to Vienna and other German cities, where the wealth of one, and the extreme beauty of .the other, made them welcome visitors at court. , Jt was during these happy years that the count struck upon the novel and charming idea of honoring his wife, by dedicating to her the fairy gardens and castle of Fultchin. - For 10 years the most' celeo rated architects, sculptors, gardeners and painters were busy, under the count's instruc tion, at this beautiful design. -There were waterfalls and lakes and babbling brooks, iairy grottoes and tropical plants. It was the most enchanting retreat in Poland. r. When all was done ho named it after his wife Sophioka. ' He died in 1805, and left his im mense fortune and estates to his widow, who controlled them with consumate skill for 18 years. She died just before the breaking out of the Polish revolution of 1830. Her heirs nearly all joined in the revolution against the czar, and, as a consequence, the enormous estates, including the wonderful gardens, were confiscated by the crown, and the name of Sophioka was changed to that of "the gardens of the empress. The Drink Difficulty. Sir Wilfrid Lawson la the Nineteenth Century. Drink has always been a difficulty. In all ages individuals have made great mis takes as to the quantity of intoxicating liquor which it was beneficial for them to consume. intoxication is a species of poisoning, in as much as alcohol is a brain poison; and at first sight it seems Strang that any one should wish, even temporarily, to damage that thinking power which is the sole distinction between the human animal and the beasts which perish. But there are some obvious explanations of this, apparent anomaly. First of all, alcoholic drinks are to many very delicious beverages, A uuaker was once sitting in a public-house, when' a man camyn, blowing his fingers, and said, "Give me lass of brandy I am so cold;"'. one speedily followed who had been running bard, and he called out, "Bring me a glass of brandy I am so hot!" Then said the Ouuker quietly from his corner, "Bring me a glass of brandy because I like it." He spoke the truth. Would not the great bulk of those who talk about health, fashion, e to ssy the same thing if they spoke from their hearts? Then there is so much misery in the world that it is easy enough to under stand Uyron s lines: . "Mao U a reasonable being. Therefore be geta drunk." But the poets have much of responsibility in this matter; "!iowl rhymes with "soul. Many of our most beautiful songs are drink ing songs, and somehow or other it has come to pass that although drunkenness is now pretty generally condemned "from the teeth outward," as Carlyle has it, yet drinking is still looked upon as a delightful and honora ble exercise tor rational beings. Jiut "no excess." O no. No one favors excess, but though no one favors excess, it is admitted on all hands that, as a nation, we do exceed, and that 140,000,000 per annum is far too much to be spent on a brain poison by the people ot the United Kingdom. If drink were merely a harmless luxury, the above would be a startling National expendi ture; but when we reflect that the consump tion of this drink is, by the almost unani mous testimony of our judges, police, prison, and poor-law authorities, and all those in a position to know tho habits cf the people, pronounced to be the main cause of crime and pauperism, it becomes truly alarming. ' Boswell. Temple Bar. James Boswell possessed in perfection tho minute observation of persons, places, dress, and character - which most clever women nossesa . ' It is. thanks to his exercise of this faculty, that Johnson is now known to us as no other man who has ever lived is known Johnson's coat, wig, shoe-buckles; his manner of speaking and of entertaining his guests in Gough-square or Bolt-court; his whims, his tempers, his weaknesses, are all wordphotographed by Boswell for us. There was, too, a rare diplomatic talent in Boswell for the possession of which be has hitherto, so far as we have been able to perceive, obtain ed but small credit at the hands either of his critics or of the public. Moreover, to repre sent Uoswell, as is so frequently done, as being blindly idolatrous of Johnson, is to go ludicrously wide of the mark. So far from Boswell having believed Johnson to . be almost infallible, he was particularly well acquainted with the weak points in Johnson's character and intellect. AVe venture to assert, indeed, that in many and various ways Boswell was vastly Johnson's superior; and in this connection it is certainly noteworthy that whenever Johnson and Boswell differed in opinion, time has shown that Boswell was nearly always right and Johnson' wrong. Boswell's feeling toward Johnson was very like that which many a clever woman enter tains toward her husband, i. e she ia by no means blind to his faults or unaware of his weak points; when she differs from him in opinion, her Tudgmcnt is often sounder than his; she is intensely proud of any ditainction which in the eye of the world he enjoys, and she delights to be associated with him in it; finally, she to an extent to which he is himself often quite unconscious flatters him and "manages him while, all the while, she loves him from the bottom of her heart. . Garrison. Wendell Philips, la North Americsn Bariew.l ; After Mr. Lewis Tappan and Garrison had been engaged an hour in earnest debate with a slaveholder who did not know them, the Southerner said to Garrison: "If all North erner were at fair, courteous, and reasonable as yourself, we should not complain. It is madmen like Garrison that offend us." Another fierce opponent, accidentally in Garri son campany an hour, after his departure, asked a bystander the flame of the man he had been disputing with, and, on learning it, sat down in tearful shame that he had so Ion and bitterly abused such a man.'- I once saw him in a mixed company, when a cleriryman had made a labored excuse for non-interest in the slave question and dissent from his views, ay his hand respectfully on the critic s arm and his rebuke. "Sir. it is not licht von need. but a heart." though apostolic in frankness, was so courteously spoken that the listeners of both sides assented, and the critic himself took no offense. The time will ' come when men will name strength, courage, discretion, marvelous sagacity, inexhaustible patience, and a whole-souled devotion to justice and humanity, which never counted the cost, as his foremost qualities. Then the church, in stead of jealously gathering her skirts about her when he is mentioned, will bind his name proudly on her brow, claiming him not only as hers, but as her ripest fruit in' this genera tion the best, almost the only evidence of. her essential Christianity and value. If a grand purpose one oft lncalcuable - worth, and so difficult as to' be almost impossible; unselfish and tireless devotion to it; rare sagauity in discovering the means to efiect it;

commanding influence- in compelling aid from reluctant Sources; and complete success, wrung from universal and bitter onnoeition

without compromising principle, or stooping i arcept uisuouurauie aiu ii an this be any evidence of greatness, then surely Mr. Gar rison was one oi our greatest men. ' lie will ever be recognized," says one well versed in our times, "as the central and supreme figure ui mat group oi giants wnicn the civil war produced. ' Of course he had faults. But I was honored to stand so near him for 40 years that some I could not see, and others I have forgotten. As Bolinghroke said of one of juariborougn s detects, "tie was so great a man that I forgot he had that weakness." ' A Portrait of Marie Antoinette. 1 - Memoir of time. Vlgea Le Bran. ' It was in the year , of 1779. mv dear friend, that I took the queen's portrait for the first time. She was then in all the bril liancy of her youth and beauty. Marie Antoinette was tall and admirably proportioned, her arms were lovely,. her hands small and beautifully formed, and ber feet charming. one waixea netter man any woman in France: carrying her head with a which denoted the sovereign in the midst of ... i . s . j ner court witnout detracting in the least from the sweetness and grace of her whole aspect. 'In short, it is very difficult to give an idea to those who have not seen the queen, of so much grace and dignity combined. iier features were not regular: she inherited from her family the long oval-shaped face peculiar to the Austrian nation; her eves, which were nearly blue, were not large, but their expression was at once lively and soft; ner nose was small and well formed, and her mouth was not large although her lips were rather thick. 15ut the most remarkable thing about her was the brilliancy of her complexion. I never saw anything like it, and brilliant is the only word to express what it was; her skin was so transparent that it allowed of no shadow. I never could obtain tho effect I desired; paint could not repre sent the iresnness, the delicate tints ot that charming face, which I never beheld in any other woman. At the first sitting the queen s imposing air began by intimidating me ex tremely, but her majesty spoke to me with so much goodness that her "kind manner soon dissipated this impression. It was then that 1 made the portrait which represents ber with a large hoop, dressed in white satin and holding a rose in . her hand. This picture was destined for her brother, the emaeror Joseph ll.,and the queen ordered two copies of it one fur the empress of Russia, and the other for her apartments at V ersailles or at r ontainebleau. So Bad The last act of an old but too constantly repeated drama has been seen this week at one of our New York hotels, the curtain has been rung down and the earthly record finished in misery and shame of a once happy and beautiful girl. Only two or three weeks ago a seemingly deeply attached pair.arrived here from England. There were 10 or 12 days of apparent accord and content in each other's society and the then supposed husband a man of fashionable exterior and polished manners went away. His story was that he was going to Philadelphia and that be would soon return. He failed, howr, to return, and in a day or two his com panion became pale and bowed like a blight ed lily. A week passed and the unfortunate woman saw and felt that she was abandoned. So sho laid down and never lifted up her head again .4 The wretched truth came out at last. She had fled from her husband in England at the solicitation of the scoundrel who had now abandoned her. Captain Conyers, as he called himself it turned out had actually sailed for England again, leaving his victim, who had sacrificed all for him, ill and penniless in a strange land.. It was to be expected, of course, but equally, of course, this poor creature did not expect it; and so she died in bitter grief and remorse. It is said that she prayed when dying that her husbanc might fall in with her betrayer in England. Strange but pitiful hands smooth ed her wretched pillow and supplied her needs till the hist, and yesterday she was laid to rest in Greenwood, it mav be wrong to echo Tuinr Marv Hartley's allecred dvinir prayer, but it is hard to repress in reading of her wretcnea late a nope mat punisnmeni in some just form should fall upon the villain who destroyed her. . . The Prime of Life. Between the ages of 45 and 60 man who has properly regulated nimsen may be considered in the prime ot life, llis matured strength ot constitution renders him almost impervious to an attack of dis ease, and experience has given soundness to his ludement. rlis mind is resolute, firm and eaual; all his functions are in the highest order: he assumes mastery over his busi ness; builds up a competence on the founda tion he has laid in early manhood, ana passes through a period of life attended by many grauucatiuiis. jiaviug gime a jwr or two 1 over he arrives at a stand still. But athwart this is the viaduct called the turn of lifo, which,- if crossed safety, leads to the valley of "old ago," round which the river winds, and then beyond. without boat or causeway, to effect his pas sage- The bridge is, however, constructed of franile material, and it depends now it is trodden , whether it bend or break.

The hps are thin and shrunken, but those are the lips which have kissed many a hot tear from the childish cheeks, and they are the sweetest lips in all the world. The eye is cum, yet it glows with the soft radiance of holy love which can never fade. Ah, yes, she is a dear old mother. The sands of life are nearly run out, but feeble as she is, she will go further and reach down lower lor you tnan any other upon earth. You can not walk into a midnight where sne can not see you; you can not enter a prison wnose oars win keep her out; you can never mount a scaffold too high for her to reach tnat sne may kiss and bless vou in evidence of her dehthless love.
