The Boston Young lady.
she comf.s, sef.h and conquer eli
PEBiiite.
The Boston young lady has arrived at
Saratoga. I mean the real literary 3'ouug
lady?the Siege of Troy girl She grew
up in Bostnu and graduated at Yussar
College last year. She wears eye glasses,
and full of wisdom. She scans Homer,
rattlvs the verb ' lipo" like the multi
plication table sings Anacrcon to the
old melodies, and pu't up her hair after
the statue of tho Venus of Milo. There
is no end to her knowledge of the ciassi
cal dictionary and when it comes to
Charles Lamb or Sydsey Smith?South
erns of litcraturc-thojjfc'jho never wiote,
but got the credit of every good joke in
Kugland?she can say their jokes as a
Catholic says his heads, If you ask her
how she likes babies, she answer:
-'How ?' Well, as Charles Lamb re
marked, 'I like 'em b?b?boiled."
A>k her anything, and she will always
lug in a quota?inn fro*a some pcdiotic
olJ fool like Dr. Johnson or Swift ot
Jack Bunsby, just to show you that she
is up in literature, and that you arc?
green. Not a single original idea, but
one constant 'as Socrates said,' or 'as
Pluto remarked,' or 'as Diogenes obser
ved.' Yesterday, some sharp, shrowd.
original New York young ladies got hold
of the pedantic business, aud iutrodueed
a funny paraphose 90 Miss Boston's
laaguage.
'Do you love music, Sallie ?'
?Well, 'yes,' as tho poet observed.'
'How many glasses did you drink this
morning T'?
"Six,' as Mr. L all pathetically re
marked in his arithmetic'
"Dunce the round dances ?'
"No,' as the Lord Mayor of London
quietly observed as John Kuskin asked
him for the loan of 4S.'
The Boston girl is so well posted that
she wins triumphs over you by a sort
of literary "bluff" game. She attributes
sharp quotations to distinguished men,
and, conscious that you dare not question
their authenticity, of course she " bluff's''
you right down. When you go to your
room, and read up, and find she has real
ly "bluffed' you of course you arc tt?o gentle
to mention it, and so this Boston girl goes
on plumming herself at the expenses of
New Ycrk gnllautry.
Yesterday the Boston girl was at it
again. Somebody asked her who was
.the oldest, Mcthuscla or Dcutcrouo
my ?
"Why, Barns, tho commentator says
'Deuteronomy came before Numbers'?
of course Iio'b too old to be computed.
Now, I know she lied, but still I had
a doubt about it. I didn't want to break
out and say Deuteronomy came after
Nombers, and then have thoso miscrablo
Boston fellows say with that terriblo
upward inflection, llow are you, Eli
Perkins ! O ! no. But when 1 did go
up to my room I sent out to a gcntlcmau
iu Saratoga who has stverel bible* to
lend, and got the Pentateuch?and suro
enough, just my luck, that miserable,
pedantic, spectacled Boston girl was
right.
If you sit down by this Boston girl
and don't behave like u miuister she
don't get mad and pout. U ! no. She
says. Mr. Toinpkins, shall I repeat a few
hops from Soribucr's .' and tbeu she goes
1 o??-~
Why can't ^ou bo sensible Harry?
I doiit like men's arms on my chair.
Be still ! if you don't stop this nonsense.
I'll get up and leave you?so there 1
And when you tako out a solitaire
ring, or try to "seal the vow,' or some
thing of that sort, as New York fellows
always try to do with almost every Bos
ton girl who comes here she looks up
blushingly, and in the lang-age of
Swinburne poetically remarks;
There! somebody's coming?don't look so?
Oet up on your own chair ngain?
t'nn't you seemed as nothing hud happened ?
I never saw such geese as yon men !
Oh The Shoemaker's Ponies.
BY EDWARD F.OOnF.STON.
Tho Germans have a periphrase for
walking?they "ride on the shoemaker's
ponies." In the early West it by no
means followed that a man who had feet
had shoes so that the Iloosicr equivalent
for traveling afoot is ''riding on shank's
marcs." Now these circumlocutions
have an air of slighting the feet as means
of locomotion, as if one would affect to
have ridden when he had walked. It
is like the device of the negro dandy
wfio used to buckcl a spur upon each
heel, taking a riding whip iu hand to
walk to. meeting.
We have no more legs. There is now
going on nn atrophy of tho lower extre
nii ics. I once heard a witty lady,
mock ing at popular mock modesty spools
of her pedestals. We nro all comim; to
this. There wi 11 soon be nothing but
pedestals, and those of the slenderest
sort, to bother the next stage will see
us developed into legless ?Oeings is a
speculation more curious thau practical,
perhaps.
There is no exercise so fine as walking
if one knows bow to take it. When a dis
ease in one part of the body becomes in
curable a physician will sometimes at
tack it by revulsion"?that is, attacking
some other part, and thus diverting the
sickness from its stronghold. So a man
uses his head until the brain is weary,
needs to tire his legs.
You complain that you cannot walk.
Because you do do not observe the
rules. Walk easily. Take time. Do
not hurry yourself intocxhaustiou. Be
gin by walking as you can bear it.

Glimpses of Com mini; Prosperity.
Newspaper correspondents who are
making tours of tho Southern States re
ports that new manufacturing schemes
of nil sorts are much talked of, and that
there is a fair prospect of a rovival of
industry. Revival is hardly tho word,
however. It is a rather a creation.
Tho district which before the war woro
destitute of the slightest trace of manu- j
facturiug enterprise are those which are <
now indicated as the Lowells aud Man
chcEtcrs of tho fu'.ure, and the only
drawback to the accomplishment of the
desired results is tho want of capital.
Yet the statistics of the experiments
already made show that tho promise of
a good return for investments is not.
I without foundation. One correspondent
writes that "the past fivo years hava
witnessed a great revival of the old year
ning after machinery, that the laud ia
half secretly overrun with surveyors and
spcoulatora in mill property, who are
prospecting for advantageous situations
' for future faotonoa, and that those mills
which nre ready at work, cotton mills
especially, pay dividends which are
almost beyond belief. Dividends of
twenty five per cent, per annum are Baid
to be common among the few mills now
in operation, and in one instances profit
of fifty percent has been obtained. The
same correspondent dwells upon tho ad
vantages of Southern mills over those of
the North, arising from the facts that
they use the cotton frewh from the field,
before its staple has been sudjectcd to the
pressure of baling, that the cost of bag
ging and hooping and transportation is
saved and that tho doveNpnicnt of the
new coal field of the South will make
fuel cheap and so reduce the outlay for
motive power. These strong points aud
if thoughtful and sensible "Southerners
can be brought to see that the use of
their owu resource.1 aud tho application
of their own hard laboi are the real pro
cesses through which wholcsomo reha
bilitation must come, the next census
will axhibit a strikiag contrast to that

The Squire's Visitors
HOW RURAL RELATIVES AWE TREATED
IN PEORIA.
Squire Blinks, a retired old gentle
man, lives away dowu on Seventh street
The other morning three old ladies from
Macon county came to his house on n
visit. They used to know his wife be
fore she was msrried. The Squire wel
comed them to his mansion, and then
went out to the barn and swore for half an
hour. While he was soothing himself
thus his wife called him into the house.
Sho handed him an umbrelal to keep off
the sun, aud said the ladies had walked
up from the depot and' left some things
there for him to bring up. So he
brought them up, making two round
trips for tho bassets, baud boxes, and
two black oil cloth? t?s*e*mgt?g8, allot
which the Squire discourteously called
?infernal old traps.'
As he Fat in the back kitchen wiping
his brovi, his wife brought out the mar
ket basket and said thorc was not a bit
of sugar or tea iu the house, nud she re
marked that while he was going dowu
tow., he might as well get the molasses
jug filled. The Squire akaed her how
long those old migratory pelicans were
going to stay. And she askud him ir
he thought she would be so rude as to
ask them. Then the Squire went down
nud laid iu the groceries. When he
got back his wife said she h id forgotten
something aud thought of it just when
it was too late. She must have- some
corn-starch. The Squire asked her if
any of the old scarce-crows had dropped
the least hint as to tho duration of their
visit. She said not. The Squire looked
sad and disconted.
When he had the paper of corn-starch
on the table, his wife said they must
have a cod fish for dinner. One of the
ladies said in the course of conversation,
that she was fond of codfish. The
Squire asked if the old buzxards bed yet
committed themselves on the extent of
their present roost. Sbe said he ought
to be ashamed of himself
When he slapped the cod fish down
ou the table with a whang his wife got
him to bring in some water and wood:
said Mr. Spoorfeug-?r said she never
dine 1 without nlo, and the Squire was
asked if he would go down anl bring
up a bottle. He asked if ho shouldn't
go into the parlor and get thoso old
cormorunts to make out a list of what
they did liko, and furthermore asked if
they were yet silcut as to when they
thought they could go away
He ?,ot tho ale, aud for fear ho would
have to trot down town again, he hired
an express wagon aud loaded it with all
sorts of garden truck, a bottle of whis
key, a box of sardines, a pound of snuff,
some cove oysters, dried apples, beaus,
smoked tongue, cut and dried tobacco,
, pickled walnuts, cauned corn, maokcral,
split peas, etc.
She next day the Squire was sent
down town only eight times.
Early the next morning he started out
into the country to see a. man. When
he got home he asked his wife if sny
time had been set for tho departure. On
the evening of the following Monday
ono of the ladies said she thought they
ought to start on the next Friday, so as
to reach home before Sunday. -Mrs.
Biuks said they oughtn't to be in a hnr
ry. The Squire groaoed and said they
ought to stay and make their visit out.
On Friday morning the Squire "had an
express wagon before the door. But the
wife said the ladies had concluded to
stay until after the Fourth. Then the
Squire went out to saw wood and eon
verse with himself.
How Hans Got Even.
Once on a time there lived a jovial
Dutchman, whose name was Hans Von
Sbrimpetifiel. He had a wife. He had
a little grocery, where beer and such
personal property were sold. He gare
credit to a parcel of day customers, and
kept bis book with a piece of whita
chalk on the head-board of the bedstead.
One day Mrs. Sbrimpetifiel, during a
neat fit, took uvon herself to clean the
house and things. So she did, and she
cleanod the head bond, and with soap
aud water settled the old man's accounts
by wiping away every chalk mark.
Pretty soon, before long, the old ten
der of things oame into his house and
saw what a ruin his frau had wrougl t.
Then he said : . .
"Mein Gott, Frau Sbrimpetifiel, what
for you make a ruined man of roe ? I
guess not ? You make wipe away all
dem names and figures what I owe them
feller's what's goin^ to pay before they
get ready, and I loose mores xwte hand*
red dollars!"
His frau left the room in fear and
disgust. When she returned he had
recovered the bead-board with chalk
marks. Then she said :
"Hans, you havo make them all right,
don't it?"
"Well, mein tearer frau, I make tho
figures all right, but I put down some
petter names as dem old fellers rot yon
viped oot, ven you rubed do head-heard
off dc names."
Tun Deacon's Doo.?It was a great '
tnsny years ago, at a camp meeting, that
Brothor Iliggins, a good man bnt
nasrionatel v fond of dogs, came in one
day accompanied by a black and tan
hound. Somebody naked him to addrees
the congregation, and he mounted tho
stand for the purpose, while his dog sat
down upon his haunches immediately in.
front, looking at hia mas'er. lathe
midst of the discourse, which entertain
ed us much, another dog came up, and
after a few social whiffs at Brother Hig
gins' dog, began to examine the hind
leg of the latter with his teeth, apparent
ly for the purpose of ascertaining if it
was tender. An animated contest en
sued, andoneofthecongregation camefor
ward for the purpose of separating the
animals. His efforts were not wholly
successful. He would snatch at the leg
of Iliggins' dog, but before his hand got
thcro the yellow dog would be on that
side, and would probably take an in
cideutal and cursory bite at the deacon's
hand. Brother Higgins paused in hia
discourse and watched the deacon. Then
he exclaimed, "Spit in his eye, Brother
Thompson, spit in tho hound's eye!"
Brother Thompson did, and the fight
ended. "But I just want to say," eon
tinned Mr. Iliggins, "that outside of the
sanctuary that dog of mine can eat up
any salmon colored animal in the State,
and then chaw up the bones of its anees
tors for four generations, without turn
ing a hair! You understand me?"
Then the services proceeded.
A Sad Situation.?A ahort time
since a gentleman with long, fair
whiskors, and dressed in the height of
fashion, entered a hosiers in Vienna,
nnd requested the shop-woman, who
happened to be alone, to show him some
colored shirts. Every variety was
brought out,, when he made his choice,
and requested that a parcel might be
made for him. This being done, "what
an idiot I am," said he j "1 have not
seen how the shirts look when on.
Would you oblige me, mademoiselle, by
putting on one over your dress ?" The
shop-woman having complied with his
request, "be so good," he continued, "as
to button the collar and wristbands, that,
I may get a thoroughly good idea of
tho effect And now," he added, taking
up his parcel, "allow me to wish yon a
very good morning I" and in an instant
be was outside the door and had disap
peared, the unbappy girl apparently
stupificd, not daring to follow him into
the street on account of her singular
eoetume.
