This fault often sfcows Itsell In childhood, and has Its origin In the activity of the imagination, joined to an imperfect knowledge of languuge whei it is not early corrected, It grows with tho growth, strengthens with the strength, «nd becomes ouo of the most, incurable maladies of tho mind.

that are everyday presented to \ur view. Extravagant expressions 'Are sometimes resorted to, In ordor to ftono for deficiencies of memory and ^observation but Ihey will never hide such detects and an habitual use of them lowers the tone of the mind, and leads to other deviations from tho aimpllcltv of truth and nature.

Another way of falsifying narrative Is by taking for granted what you do not know, and spoaklug of it if vou did. Tills jumping at conclusions Is fruitful »ourooot false reports, and does groat mischief in the world. Let no otic imagine that she walking conscientiously, woo Is not In tho habit of discriminating niwiy between what she knows to be fact, and what she onlv supposes lo b® such. Somo girls without anv wish to exaggerate, contract a habit of using certain forcible expressions on all occasions, great and small, and consequently tnako som® vcrv absunl speeches.

The frequent us® of some favoriw ml or phrase is a common defoct in Jnversatlon. and can only be guanlfsl *-^alnst by asking your friends to point

A young lady otnv attempted to do* scribe a picnic party to us, in the following terms:

I almost Rilled 1 myselt with laughing, and we broke half the thing*. But th*- ride boine was the most splendid of,all we arrivat at th® top of the hill jast in time to see the most glorious sunset I ever beheld."

In this short account, the word "glorious" is used five times, and in all out the last it is grossly misapplied the same as is the case with the term "splendid," except that it is not one® used properly. "EIeg»nt," too, is equally inapplicable to norses and cold provisions. Yet this style of conversation is so oomrnon, that it hardly arrests the attention of many who, nevertheless, would condemn it at once if they thought at all about it.

Talking ironically is sometimes indulged in to such an excess jWPto become very tiresome to the hearers. A little dash of pleasant irony enlivens conversation but some girls have such a habit of it, that on all occasions, to persons of all ages, all degrees of intimacy and, acquaintance, on all subjects, whether grave or gay, they will answer you in that strain. All reverence for age and superior wisdom, and all sense of propriety, are sacrificed to the indulgence of this propensity, while they are Unconscious ot its being in excess." To make the whole •train of conversation ironical is like serving up dinner composed wholly of gravies, sauces, and condiments, without one substantial dish. In like manner, all jesting, bantering, and quizzing should bo sparingly indulged lu, ana with constant reference to the teel-* ings #f otbtere, or you niay inflict a wound before you are aware of it.

Our Old friend Ledltfe supposed the property had pMmed away, from him forever. Tho rtcoiiect ion of the action had passed from his memory. On yesterd .y he was summoned to a settlement by his creditor, who stated to him he had sold the property upon which the loan was made that he had calculated theinterrst hn the lo in, and had added the expenses, and that a balance of $4,500 romaincd, which in justice belonged to him. A bystander then made the remark that the transaction was honorable, but that it was not "the way of the world. The answer of that ofd mail was: "Tho way of the world is not tho way to Heaven. iV lew of our prominent citizens, whose names appear below, hearing ol the transaction, joined in addressing the following letter of admiration and respect for the conduct of Mr. Baldwin:

THE CODE.

High ton is declining even in Louisiana. A man cau refuse to fight in that State, and If he does it neatly and cleverlv, his noighbors still continue to recognize him. Gov. Warmouth has just passed with flying colors through this Ordeal. Ho stated a month ago that Mr. Walsh offered him $0,000 to sign the Nioolson Pavement bill. Mr. NValsh promptly replied that tho Governor had asked $7^,000 and a share of tho stock. Tho Governor said this was false. issuo was made up and the

a very pretty one. Sir Lucius

'Walsh then concluded to fight, and sent Warmouth a challenge in duo form, asking him to name "iwo friends" In the usual euphemistic form. Warmouthjwith a touching affectation ot innoeenco, accepted this cartel as an invitation to submit to arbitration the ques--tlon of veracity between them whereupon Walsh, thoroughly disgusted with such trilling on so reverend a subjoct, said, brusquely, "I do not want arbitration. I want to fight." Gov. Warmouth then responded, with a dignity befitting the occasion, that he would not fight him, giving as his reasons that the Governor of th® State has no right to give or recelvo a challenge that the circumstances of this caso did not warrant Mr. Walsh in sending him one that Walsh, in admitting, that he offered the Governor a bribe, confessed to a wrongful act, that puts him out of the pale of that aoctal position which entities him to the privileges of the code. He who seeks to vindicate insulted honor must show that honor without a blemish the cod® recognises the rteht of no one to assume it* protection in revenge of a defeated criminal purpose. The Governor also tells Mr. Walsh that the latter knew when he challenged him that he could not accept, and had elicited from Inquiry amoug the Governor's personal friends toe fact that he would not. It is doubttti! if even in that sunny clime Governor Warmouth could have gained more credit by cutting the throat of Walsh than bv writing this direct and cmelly candid letter. —*V. Y. Tritotm.

DIAMONDS.—Diamonds havo been known In Europo only about three hundred years. They were first brought to Europo from the East, when the mines of Goleonda were discovered in 1531. The Brazilian mines were discovered in 1728. From these last, a diamond weighing fourteen ounces, was sent to Portugal, and was valued at more than a thousand millions of dollars, and variously estimated by others down to two millions, which is about its real worth, as it proved not to be a brilliant. The great Russian diamond was bought by Count Orloff for more than half a million of dollars. He presented it to the Empress Catherine on her birthday. It is now in thesccptro of Russia. The Koh-i-noor, or Mountain of Light, was found in the mines of Goleonda in liwO, and was brought to England in 18o0, just three centuries afterwards itsoriginal weight j$ht hundred 1c

was nearly eight hundred Karats, but was reduced by unskilful cutting to

two hundred and seventy-nine.

PHYSICAL LAZINESS.—Physical lasiness is one of the most destructive vices of the nge. It causes weak, flabby, spongy bodies, which are always getting oiit of sorts, and are so weak that strong mind is completely thrown away upon one. In fact, a strong mind in a weak bodv, is like a superior knife blade in a weak and miserable handle. Its workmanship may be ever so finished, its temper ever so true, its edge ever so keen, nut for want of means to wield it properly it will not cut to much purpose. Ambitious youths who intend to carve out fame and a fortune with their sharp intel!ects,should think of this simile, and see to it that their bodies—handles by which they are to manage that wonderful weaoon, the human mind—are kept in sound jointed, firmly riveted, perfectly cleansed condition.

[From the Golden Age.]

AN ANECDOTE OF BARON ESS BVRDETT COUTTS.

BY MRS. T-ATRA COHTIS BULLARD.

Miss Burdelt Coutta, upon whom Queen Victoria recently conferred the rank and title ot Baroness, is a tall, gaunt, angular woman who more nearly resembles the traditional and popular type of the strong-minded female, than anv one of the prominent members of the woman's rights party whom I have ever met. A tolerably .wide acquaintance with the leaders of this movement on both sides of the Atlantic hes convinced me that scragginess is not a characteristic of the genuine "woman's rights woman." But injustice to Miss Coutts, I must hasten to say that her personal reseinblunolf to the typical strong-minded female docs not result from any sympathy with the sisterhood. On the contrary, she cherishes for the class the most wholesome aversion, and has taken pains publicly to disavow all participation in their sentiments, alms, and purposes.

Miss Coutts is no longer young, but she hiUMi fancy that juvenile bonnets oeconie her—which, it is scarcely ne-ct-sAy to say, is a mistake on her part. In short, neither in person nor in dress is she the attractive woman she would be, if nobility of soul, largeness of h$%rt and puritj&of character revealed themselves in^Miysical beauty or were accompanied by an instinctive knowledge of the sources of good taste, which unfortunately is not olten the case.

But where Miss Coutts is known no pn£ would ever give a thought to the iiiihor and external defects of this truly noble-souled and generous hearted woman, the fame of whose large liberality ,is as wide spread as the iact that .she'isthe Wealthiest commoner in England.

Of course, she is a well-known and most welcome customer at.all the fashionable shops in Louden, but she is uofrso familiar a habituee ol the shops of Paris. During a visit to this latter city, not verv long since, she learned th? death ot- a distant relaUve, and she weofc fp tj*e shop, the Trois Quartiers, 4 largo rtryjIQQuZ establishment someiiW, eompare great yw'n«s sniail,"our own ^t*wart,'s»

She askfed'Tor" mourning dress go6u and wasshowii-by one ol the attentive shopmen to thfe proper department "Please show this lady mourning stuffn," he said, "two-ten."

Miss Coutts made her selection and then asked for mourning collars the? clerk who had waited on her U( vump.v* nied her to tlfe proper ^ountir. "Please show this lady mourning pollarlP^-iwo-ten," said he, and left h! From this department s)ie we*i£ to leok for mourn ing pocket. hanltRt'rcliiefs, escorted by theclerk, who passed her over to successor with the request, "suow this lady pocket handkerchiefs—two-ten.'

As she had still other articles to buy, she was oscorted from counter to coun ter, department to department, and everywhere these cabalistic words, "two ten," were repeated by one clerk to an other.

Struck by tho peculiarity ot this refrain, she usked tho proprietor as she left the establishment, "Pray what does 'twe-tqii' mean I noticed each clerlfesaiii i.t tfVtho other in your shop.' "Oh, it is nothing," he replied "merely a password that thc^ are in the habit of exchanging."

But Miss Coutts was not satisfied with this explanation. Her woman's

curiosity was piqued, and she resolved to unravel the riddle So In the evening, when- the ptirteiy a young^ b»yj brought homelier purchases, afte ing her bill, she said, "My boy wotild you like to earn five frAncs?"

Ol course he had no objection to do so* and only wanted to know in what way he could do it. "Tell me," said the lady, "what does 'two-ten' mean. I will give you five francs." "Why, don't you know, ma'am?" said he* evidently amazed at her ignorance "It moans keep your two eyes on her t«n fingers."

The mystery was solved at last. All tho clerks of tho Trois Quartiers had taken the riehest woman in Great Britain for a shoplifter!
