WOMAN'S HAND.

There in scarcely in the whole scope of our enjoyment—it is a bold, bold asser tion, but «h, how truo!—a sensation more dellmhtful than that arising from the warm tou?h of a woman's hand. Its very delicacy and weakness, as it glides into a strong and manlv grasp, Is a fit emblem of the just confidence the heart Is so desirous to bestow upon its destined protector. And while the nerves thrill ov»-r the soft lingers and the electricity of passion is firing every vein—whilst a spirit richer and more retinod than tnougbt itself, flutters in the bosomhow the heart seems striving to expand Itself into that unutterable ecstacy of being, so seldom felt—so impossible to bedes'-ribed. Reader, invoke, we pray thee, the aid of memory, and let hor recall, in moonlight fitful noss, the scenes of thyoourtshlp the April mornings ef hope and fear of love, joy and passion. Let those visions of bliss again rise in shadowy review, like the springing afresh of a rainbow fountain—thou wilt ewn that whothor amid the luxuries of art, screened by a friendly shade from the too strict scrutiny of the brilliant chandelier, or In the solitude of nature's untimed magnificence—If thou couldst but win the confidence of her thou lov est, so soemingly unconscious it had eeoaped h«r in Idenly keeping she would trust her timid hand in thine, thy thoughts were fiooded with delight—thy very bosom glowed with a genernos rapture. Oh! how you then swore to thy heart or hearts more holy, more pure, than that of the altar) to protect, to comfort her—to minister to her joys to le herruard, her guide, herall In all" If thou didst not, thou want no lover Perchance with the sort reminiscence of stolen tclatices (the first of unpledged love), timid spoeclus and ardent vows, conies the withering thought of faith broken, estranged, and vows for

A RIB.

In a letter from Switzerland, Grace Greenwood describes a motley group of different nationalities, gathered on mountain top, to view a satirise, In the following charmingly piquant anecdote When we reached the highest point thoro was a goodly crowd there, and before 5 o'clock it numbered seven hundred or eight hundred, all struggling for the best places, and nearly all uncomfortably bundled up In anticipation of wind and cold. It was a strange gathering almost all peoples and tongues. The Belvldere was a small Tower of Babel. Many looked pallid and ill frbtn the effects of the heat or loss of leep, sad two ladles fainted outright—one falling prone on the ground, but springing up again like a femalo AnUcns. The orb ol day seemed an unconscionable time coining, and the crowd grow visibly Impatient, till I half expected stamp Ins and rat calls. One fair young Eng Ush lady, evidently a bride, aald to her husband, with pretty pettlshness. "Why don't he come up? I'm getting quite nsrvons. Do you know, Alfred, I never saw the ann rise in my life!" Only think the sight was to be aa new to her aa to Eve on that first morning of her voting taP grown life! We can imagine tbs aw mo me delight of the primeval lady when she behold the "greater light," which she had seon the night before drop away in the gorgeous west, kaivlng all dim and dusky the solemn aisles of the garden in which the angels walked, reappear in the east, touching the purple hills wi splendor, and reddening the bine Euphrates. Woman has been woman from the first, and man baa been man, and we can imagine Eve at the sunrise, longing for sympathy in her wonuer and delight, and waking up Adam and we can imagine Adam, already blaae of such thinga, yawning, and saving loftily, "Ah, yea, it Is very fine bat child, I nave seen it long ago, when you were a rib and really, my dear, there's nothing in it."

A MODEL CRITICISM.

Just now the oritics ami their critiques are the subject of criticism aa well as the acting of the' actor*. Style, they say, la •varything, and now comes one of the moat esnaorious of the whole number, a oriUo who blushes for the Indecency of the opera bouffe, and, In writing of "Bab*" st Nibio's, thus refers to Mrs. Ellas Weathersby: "We are bound to acknowledge that a emit deal of this lady**

has the exact length onmmei surate with j.h«l of the lower limb, and possessing the same gradual swell. It is a pltv to* think thxt such beautiful legs but fade away and serve aa food for worms Just as would those of the most bandy and knock-kneed of that fearful ballet crowd Miss Jennie Weather-by does well to conceal her legs in Turkish trousers, as they cannot hold a caodlo to her sister's."

HOW TO BEGIN. -j

Girls, yon can learn how to be thoroughly nest and clean by atteudlng properly to your own rooms, if your sphere of usefulness 'is confined to small place. Keep everything in perfect order, in the first place neatress is one great principle of beauty. Cherish your instincts of taste and fitness in every little thing that yeu have about you Let it grow impossible to you t^ put down so much as a pin-box where it will dlstrrb the orderly and pleasant grouping upon your dressing-table, or to stick vour pins in your cushion even at all sorts of tipsy and uncomfortable Inclinations. Take upon yourself grad uallv—tor the sake of getting them in hand in like manner. If for no other need—all the cares that belong to your own small territory at home. Get to gether tilings for use in theso ca^es, Have your little wash cloths and your sponges for bits of cleaning your furniture brush and your tea her duster, and your light little' broom and your whisk and pan your Ivttleof sweet oil and spirits of turpentine, and a pieco of flannel to preserve the polish or to restore the gloss where dark wood grows dint or gets spotted. Find out, by following your surely growing sense of thorough ness and i.iceness, the best and readiest ways of keeping all fresh about you. If you are of an inventive turn of mind processes will readily comn to you When vou have made yourseif wholly mistress of what you -*n learn and do in your own apartment, so that it easier and more natural for you to do it than to let it alone, taking a renl inter est in all yoursmall improvements, then you have learned enough to keep a whole hoift-e in order.

NEVER COQ ULTTE.

Never coquette. The heart that needs coquetting with to be kept true is not worth having, and it is very cruel to pain one that is real and true.

After a man has told you that he loves you—not before, of course—if you lovo him. let him know it frankly and if sncli a course makes him colder to you

{overwould

rou be mad to mary him. whose only joy is in winning, and who does not care to have a neart, would make a cruel husband. And such a feeling is proof that he has no affection, but simply a fleeting passion felt for every face and form that pleas es hi

HI—which

promises none of that

tenderness which is the only part of love worth having. To coquette is to do injustice to your womanhood, and to lose the esteem of any man worth having.

When Miss Landoa wrote: nd If you would not suffer, He the one to give the pain," she premised that the other one was a very heartless little wretch, indeed, not worth the trouble of "paining," that is with any view of "not suffering" youi self. Fancy a noble minded man being made to love a girl better by ill treatment fancy his loving her less because she honestly loves hiui! What an ides! What true, pure people desire to stand honestly on the same level, each only striving to make the other bappy. For this love which you so soil and fpatter with coarse flirtation and mean coquetry, Is the purest dove that ever nestled in the human heart when Heiven first sends it here.

Make hitn know your value! make him fear to lose you, do ou say? He values vou more than you deserve, and he dare not even think of losing you. if he loves at all.

Never coquette.

rRETTY OR NOT.

[frank Leslie's Lady's Journrl.] To be pretty is the great object of al most every living woHian, even of those who lecture upon the impropriety of doing so.

Beautiful women spend a great deal of thought upon the own charms, and homely women grow homelier through fretting because they are not handsomo.

Men, at least while they are young, are very like women In this respect, though they

ide their feelings better

There is one comfort to the homely ones, however. After you come to know people very intimately, you do not know whether they are pretty or not.

Their "ways" make an Impression on you, but not their noses and ears, their eyes and mouths.

In time, the soul expresses itself to you, and it is that which you see. A man who has been married twenty ears scarcely knows what his wife looks like.

He may declare he does, snd tell you that she is a bewithlng little blonde, with soft blue eyes, len sfler she Is fat, and red, snd forty: because the image of his early love Is in his besrt, snd he doesn't see her as she is to-day, but as she was when he courted her.

Or, being an indiflerent husband, he may not know she is the fine woman that other people think her.

You have known men who have married tbs plainest women, and think them beauties and you know beauties who are quite thrown away on men who value a wife for her success as a cook.

Aa far as one's effect on strangers is to betaken Into consideration, beauty is valuable, and very valuable.

So, if you have It, rejoice bot if you have it not, be content. Take care of your heart, your soul, your mind, and your manners, and you will make for yourself thst beauty which will render you lovely to those who are nesrest and dearest to you.

WHAT ONE OLD WOMA S If AS DONS FOR POSTERITY. {Holla(Mo.) Heraid.1

A WOMAN'S WORK. .. [from the ltoclxster ITnldn t, To see a woman drive a tack is something worth observing. She will first procted to All her mouth with material, then take one, stick it in the offending carpet, and firmly clutching the hammer In her right hand, prepare to oomo down on the innocent tack. But— alau for female calculation !—she misses It and pounds her finger Instead. The hammer is dropped and the injured memoer is instantly thrust into the feminine mouth. Tho offspring, who is upsetting the tacks, is slupued, and other means are found 1 relieve the feelings, when business is procoeded with again and the tack again stuck in its

ace This lime the hammer hits it, knocks it on one side, a bkw being givon sideways to straighten It, which knocks the pointdear ofi. Auotherone is tried, and after a succession of thumps sometimes 011 tho finger, sometimes on the floor, and occasionally on tiio tack—it is finally driven iu. At.d tho operation is repeated til the carpet is down, and dishevelled ferna with red lingers, red faco, and inflamed torn per stands looking at her work^ niul congratulate! herself on having liuishod at last.

GIHI*S WHO SOLD THEIR HAIR 10 GET HOME. [From the Heading Eagle."!

Two belles of this city lately come homo from Philadelphia shorn of their wealth of raven tresses. After they had taken in all tho points of the big show and hnd made many purchases before tbey knew it they had spent al their moivy, and what

110 W LECTURERS ARE PAID. Some figures about lecturers' fees have got into print, which may very likely exaggerate In some cases, but are probably tolerably near the truth on the whole. The first In importance as a sensation is, of course, Mr. Beecher. Red path makes Mr. Beecher's engagements, and it is stated that he has the famous preacher down this season for 80 lectures st fnOO each, but this is not wholly credited, especially as t« the |500 per lecture. Persons who have the means of knowing say the amount Is 9300 instead of #500. which would bring the gross figures down to 924,000. Deduct 94,000 for expenses, and II. W. B. will have 920,000 for lecturing as well as 1120,000 for preaching—a tolerably snug ncome. Beecher took the field some weeks ago. Tllton has also "Inaugurated" his season, and was on bis way home from a lecture in Vermont when he got into that scrape in a sleeping car. He lectured eight months last year, and cleared 90,000. His terms average 9150 per night. Dr. K. H. Chapin and Wendell Phillips get 9150 a night, but neither of them will oonsent to go more than a lay's journey from home. Dr. Holland gets 9125 a night, and George William iJurtls the same, though the latter is out the field this season. The lively (tough "takes" better than other men on the lecture liat except Beecher, and can get from 9200 to $250 each for all the lectures hi can deliver. Frederick Douglass averages about forty nights in the season, ana bis price Is 9100. lie Is not so much in demand as he was a few years ago. De Cordova, who carries on business as a tea merchant in New York, lectures for 9100 and expenses. Robert Collyer easily gets 9123, and Dr. I/ird the same. Ladies who succeed on the platform command almost as high figures as the men. Grace Greenwood could get fifty engagements at 9100 each. Mrs. Abby Sage Richardson asks the same amount. Mrs. Waller, the successor of Charlotte Cusbman as reader, is {good for 9125 to 9160 every night. Anna

Dickinson topped them all, but she has abandoned the platform for the stage.

Ay Indian mound was discovered in Bcott county the other day, and among other things found by excavation was a ballot-box with a false bottom. This wove* the truth of the assertion that the ioocratlc party had poswminn of this

EM A RKABLE SILVER ,STOR Y. I -rom tho Port!and,Oregon,Bee.] Rumors are rife 011 the streets concern Ing a most remarkable discovery of silver in Wasce county. Tho stories floating about tell of nothing less than acres of uoiling springs which, instead of water, flow steams of chloride of silver. Ship loads of precious metal are represented to b& in sight, in the soapy gray substance, somewhat resembling quick silver. The molten masses bubble and boil with escaping gases. The substance Is so heavy that a stone will not sink in it, hut a stick or crowbar may bo forced down into the pools of wealth severa1 feet, when the immense gravity of the mass will throw it back into the air like an arrow shot from an Indian's bow. At least a hundred and sixty acres is covered with these springs, ranging from a r«w feet to a hundred yards arros-. Each one is surrounded with a rim of cryst^lizad silver. The depth has not yei been imagined, but the va?t wealth in sight is euough to make every man in Oiegon a bonanaa king. All you have to do Is to back a cart up to tno edge of your spring and load it with money. Some people mav think we are drawing on our imagination for these statements, but such is not the case. We mere tell what we hear. Some of the silver amalgam, said to be from these fabulous springs, has positively been assayed by a gentleman in this city and pronounced to be precipitated chloride of silver, worth ?D,000 per ton. If this should be true, the Comstock lode would not be worth working. Nevada would be deserted, and the silver springs of Oregon become the wonder of the world. The original discoveries are said to have been in the city purchasing supplies, and to have departed by the Dalles boat, this morning, while a rival party has been fitted out by others, who claim to know the whereabouts of the find,' who go by pony express by the way of Albany and the Minto Pass, to get in ahead of the others."

BR1GGS iv». JOHNSON.

While Judge Cop ey Mas sitting In his ofllco the oth* day, looking over some law papers th« door opened and man hobbled In upon crutchrs. Proceeding to a. chair, snd making a cushion of some newspapers, hesst down cry gingerly, placed a bandaged leg upon another chair, and said:

Judge, tny name Is Briggs,

called

In, judge, to get your opinion nb»ut a little point of.law. Mr. Judpo, s'posln' you 1 ved up tho pike here half a mile, next door to a man named Johnson, and a'pooln' you and Johnson was to get into an argument about the human intellect, and yr.n was to pay to Johnson llist splcmlid illustration of tho superiority of the human intellect was to be found in the power of Ihe human eye to re sir tin tho ferocity of a wild animal And s'posln' Johnson was to remark that was all bosb, because nobody could hold a wild animal with the human eye and 0:1should declare that you oould hold'tho savasest beast that was ever born if you could only fix your eyes on him? "Well, then, s'posln' Johnson was to say ho'd bet a hundred dollars he could bring a tame animal that youcouldn' hold with your eye, ar you was to take him upon It, and Johnson was to ask you to come down to his place to settle the bet. You'd go, we'll say, and Johnson'd wander round to the back of the house and pretty soon come front acain with a dog bfgcer'n any four decent dogs ought tobr. And B,p°8in,J°^n8on let _o of that dog and sick him on you, and he'd come a' you like a sixteen inch hliell of a howitzer, and you'd get skeery about it and try to hold the dog with your eye and couldn't. And s'posln you'd suddenly conclude that may be your kind of an eve wasn't calculated to hold tlmt kind of a dog. ou'd conclude to break tor a plum-tree, in order to have a chance to collect your thoughts, and try to reflect what sort of an eye would be best calculated to mollify that sort of adoir? You ketch my idea, of course

Very we'l, then, s'posin' you'd tat your eve off of that dog Johnson, mind you, all tho time sicking him 011 and iaughing and you'd turn and leg it for A

Ireo, and begin to swarm up as lust

Miu could. Well, sir, s'posin' just as vou got three feet from tho ground JohnM-it's dog would urab you oy the leg and hold on like a vise, shaking y. until you a iy lost your lold And s'posin' JohiiMiti'was to staud there and holler, 'Fix your eye on him, Briggs. Why dou't you manifest the power of He human intellect?' and soon—going off with ironical words like these ami s'posin' he ke{ that dog on the leg until he made you swear 10 pay the bet, and then, at last, hid to prjr oil tho do^ with a hot poker, bringing away at the samo time half a pound of your moat in the dog's mouth, so that you had to be carried home 011 a stretcher, and hire tour doctors to keep you from dung with lockjaw.

S'jxis 11' this, what I want to know is couldn't you sue Johnson for damages and make him pay heavily for what that dog did? get at."

ThatV what I want to

The Judge thought for a minute aud then «aid: Well, Mr. Briegs, I don't think could. If 1 agrei 10 let Johnson set the dog at me I should be a party to the transaction, and I could not recover."

Do you mean to say that tho law won't make that infernal stoundrel Johnson, suffer lor letting his dog eat me up?"

I think not, if you state the case properly." "It "won't, hey?'' exclaimed Mr Briggs, hysterically. "Oh, very well very well! It is a beautiful govern ment, this is! Beautiful! ain't it? I s'poseif thedop had chawtd ine up and spit mo out, it'd've been all the same to this constit itional republic. Blame me if I don't have satisfaction. I'll kill Johnson, poison his dog, and emigrate to some country where the rights of citizens are protected. If I don't, you may bu'st me open

Then Mr. Briggs got on his crutches and hobbled out. He is still a citizen and will vote at the next election. [Phil. Evening Bulletin.

KINKS.

I have examined these rich men. and I find that the happiest time of their life is when they are making their money after tbey get rich and set down to enjoy it, trouble begins.

Most people are anxious to get the news. I want my news about four days old, then I think"!stand some chance to hear the truth.

Men who originate ideas are .seldom tho ones who execute them. Without trials and temptations man would be nothing more than a fungus.

Things that must happen are a great deal easier to get along with than things that may happen.

Misers are strange critters—they seem to enjoy only those things they ain't got. T. ere is no greater tyranny than fear.

The most pleasant prospect from the top of a high mountain is to look back and seethe ragged way we have come.

I have tried all the most approved plans, and I find that the cheapest way to manage a woman is to let her have her own way.

Most of the miserable would be comparatively happy if they would only compare their condition with those be neatu instead of those above tbem.

Truth never is in a hurry, but a lie is always on the jump. There is great art in carrying your points without seeming at all anxious to do it.

It casts lees to agree with a fool than to differ with blm. Obstinacy might be excusable in a wise man, but wise men are never obstinate.

Common sense Is like salt—the cheapest thing according to Its actual value, of any thing in market.

All men owe much more to chance than they are willing to admit. Justice ought to be cheap, 1 ut next to bread it is the hardest thing to get.

Men of real ability are the first to recognises it in others, and the last to recognise It in themselves.

All human nature lovas to take the chances, there Is great fun In seeing bow near you can go to a mule's heels without getting hoisted.

Men who love tho least to make money love the most to spend it. Silence Is the most powerful answer thst any man can give to abuse.

There Is nothing that God loves more, and that makes us all feel better, than thankfulness.

It is a grest deal easier to call a man a fool than It Is to prove It. There is no msn more thsn half so cunning as he thinks he is.

Politeness is the only thing that can add any charm to honesty. I guess that the miseries of life are about equally divided, one person Is chilly for the want of a shirt, and another pines for a box at the opera, and both of them think Ufe is a hardship.— [Joah Billings, in N. Y. Weekly.

THE FLA VOR HE LIKED. The proprietor of a Broadway soda fountain has bad, up to a wrek *110, a malicious minded yonng man in his employ. A month ago, WLen a msn with a white necktie and a solemn look entered and said he would tske pine-apple syrup in his, the young man substituted brandy, Instead, and was rewarded by hearing the good man say: "Keep that pine apple up to that standard and I'll come over from Jersey at least ouco a day to patronize yon."

He came again and again, and every time he came be wiped off his chin with a tender motion ana benign expression, and whispered that Jersey City soda fountains were over forty miles behind the times on pine-apple syrup. But when bo dropped in again yesterday, lie found a new man at the fountain, lie wiped his heated brow and called for his old favorite, but, after a sip or two at the frothy beverage, he sot the glaa« down and inquired If he didn't order pineipplo syrup.

You did, and you got It," was the reply. 1 it can't be—can't be, young man. I have had soda water here for the last

The good man looked at him a long time, a shade of sadness gradually stealing over his face, atid as he put down his nickel and went out he said

The other young man is on tho high road to degradation, snd yet I wonder why they can't make pine-apple syrup with something of that upper faucet flavor to it."
