THE DISTINCTION.
It is an established fact, in I Lis pro i
gressive age. that a fashionably . ttir- j
'ed woman will always have attention i
shown her. If she travels alone,
willing hands are always ready to as j
sist her. .Mark with what care slut is ;
helped on or from the steamboat or,
railroad car. Dot let one of her hum- j
bier sisters come see the distinction.
ller apparel is poor, and she is at once j
set down as no lady ; all hough, in the j
t rue sense of the word, she. may be the j
1 superior, for line clothes often times
cover black and corrupted hearts. I j
have seen gentlemen they would be
highly insulted if ih'-y were not sty-j
led f.s such willingly give up their j
seats in the railroad car to a wed j
dressed woman, who would take it
without even a pleasant thank you, j
sir that was beneath her dignity
while the same gentlemen would let
.mr riiirti'ltr r.luil ut mill !n Ii.mii- f.r.i
they would oiler their seats, thoiiuh I
she was just as respectable, ami paid !
the same faro as her mine fortunate '.
sister. I
As an illustration of what I have ;
said, i will relate a liltl- incident;
which I saw rnvself. I was riding on
the cars between W , and '
New York. Soon alter 1 had taken J
my seat a young woman entered. On
one nrm she bore a beautiful sleeping i
infant on tlie other a heavv basket.!
..... I
ller clothes were old anil laueU, but
Ktill neat.
As I gazed into her face, it was ea
sy to sec that she had once been very
beautiful, (or there wi re si ill some
lingering traces, though her cheeks
and eyes wen; sunken, and around her
small mouth were many lines of care.
She had evidently seen better days,
and I could not help picturing to my
mind a clandestine marriage, a purse
proud father in his rage forbidding Inu
tile shelter of her childhood's : ome,
and now she had gone forth with Un
loved one, and, ere long, be had died
and left her to struggle alone in an
unfeeling world, with nothing to love
on earth but. her helpless babe.
Hut my reverie was soon broken by
the object of my thoughts rising and
wearily tottering to the door. Just
as she was attempting to go through
it a dashing young lady, robed in the
heightli of fashion, cime up the steps,
followed by a small biped in imitation
of a man. Never can I forget the
tone of the conductor's voice, as he
fiaiif
"Come, hurry yourself out of the
way, woman, so that this lady can get
jnl"
Engraven on my memory yet is tlie
Jookof pain that swept over the poor
Woman's pallid face, as the would-be
fady drew herself up haughtily as she
jcamc in contact with her poor sister,
and the sneer on her lips said as plain
ly as word ."I wish such miserable
jcreatures knew their place better!"
Ah! how I wanted to repeat to that
young lady those beautiful lines by C.
Jillson :
"Oh jre wliodmell initalely halls,
Where wraith and latiio aro known ;
Rimembor you may yet be poor,
Neglected aud aluue."
When thoso who have dwelt in afc
fluence feel the gaunt, icy fingers of
poverty grasp them, then, and only
until then, can they feel what distinc
tion is used; for friends whom they
thought true will forsake them. They
Bought them because of their wealth,
not for their true worth. How many
people there are who seem to forget"
that the same God gave us all exis
tence, and that we are formed of dust,
and unto dust we must surely return.

Squire Markhain, who was one of

as it comes, mused more und more on
ibis idea, struck out by chance as il

worth something. I

comfortable it would be to have a
pretty wife to welcome mo home, and
do tho honors of my table, and to help
me ti keep that rascal Charles in or
der. Egad! I've half a mind to do it."
Squire Murkham took two more
wdi ill's, and exclaimed:
"I vow I'll do ill"
What this mysterious it was, we
will leave tho reader to infer from his
very movement. Hinging tho bell, he
inquired of tho servant ;
"Is Charles at home?"
No sir," was tho reply, "Iio went
out this morning, and will be gone all
day."

the rascal intends running away next

laughing heartily, "that, isn't bad; es- j

So saving, he sealed it up and sent i
it over by a little Irish boy in his em- j
ploymcnt, having first marked "pri-1
vale" ill the corner.
"He careful, Mike, to cive it. to Miss'
lleiison, and don't let any else see it,"

"I'icasc, ma'am," said he, holditi

The air of mystery conveyed in this
eharaeiei istic address, aroused Mrs.
Heiison's euriositv, especially when
she observed I hat it was addressed to j
her dam-liter, ami not to hei-sell" .-.s she '
first supposed. She returned to the
parlor not to read Harper's Maga
zine, thiti had lost i s attractions.
"What in the world can it, be," she
though!, "that, they should be so secret t
iiboiti it? Can Florence be carrying

may be something that 1 ought to
Know.
Stimulated by her feminine curiosity
Mrs. Henson speedily concluded that
she w ould be false to the responsibili
ties of a parent if she did not. unravel
ibe mystery.
"1 think," said she, "I will open it,
anil if it shouldn't be anything partic
ular, 1 can easily re sea I it, and Flor
ence will still be none the wiser."
This she accordingly did. What
was h'-r ustonishinent when the plan
of elopement was discovered tohcr!

ed.iissoon its she could recover breath.
"So Florence was going to run away
and gel married to that. Charles Mark
ham, without so much as hinting a
word lo me.
She leaned her head upon her hand
and began to consider. She wnsnat-
could not help heaving it sigh at the
recollection.
"Am 1 always to remain thus soli
tary?" she thought. "I've half a mind
not to show lliis letter to Florence,
but to run away with Charley to-morrow
night on my own account. It's
odd if I can't persuade him that the
mother is as good as the daughter," and
she glanced complacently at the still
attractive face and form reflected
from the mirror.
Just then she heard the door open,
and Florence entered. Sho quickly
crumpled up the letter and thrust it in
to her pocket.
Florence and Charles did not meet
during the succeeding day; chielly in
pursuanco of the plan they had
agreed to, in order to avoid suspicion.
Squire Markham acted in an ex
ceedingly .strange manner, to his son's
thinking. Occasionally he would
burst into a hearty laugh, which he
would endeavor to represK, and pace
up nnd down the room, as if to walk
oil' some ol'his superabundant hilnrity.
-What's in the wind?" thought
Charles to himself. "It can't be the
governor's getting crazy!" Something
was the matter beyond a doubt. Out
what it really was, ho had not tho
faintest conjecture.
At tho hour specified, tho Squire
had his carriage drawn up at the up
pointed rendezvous. Ho began to
peer anxiously in tho dark, for Flor
ence. At length a female lorm, well
mttllled up, made its appearance.
Thanking her in a very low whisper,
lest it might be suspected that be was
the wrong person, he helped her into
the carriage and drove oil". Their (Ins
tillation was tlie house of the justice
of the. Fence, residing at. the distance
of some eight miles.
During the first part of the journey
nothing was said. Itolh parties were
desirous of concealing their identity.
(K. discovery must be made before
-
the marriage, decided to reveal him-
self, ami then urge his own suit as
well as he might.
"My dear Florence," he continued
in his natural voice.
'Why!' shrieked the lady. '1 thoutjht
it was Charles!'
"Aud I;" said Sipiire Markliani,
recognizing Mrs. Benson's voice with
ustonishinent, 'I thought it was Flor
ence!' 'Was it you, sir, w ho was arrange-
'''ope with my daughter!'
'M I'Ut 1 conclude it was you
ma'am w ho was meaning to elope
wil1' 'nyon.'
'Indeed! Sipiire Markhain, you arc
wrong; the nllair coming incidental-
to my
knowledge, 1 concluded to
secret ly, in order tu
frustrate her plans.'

ADVICE TO PAUKNTS.
Many an unwise parent labors hard
and lives sparingly all his life, for
the purpose of leaving enough to give
his children a fair start in the world,
ns it is called. Setting a young man
afloat with money left hint by his rel
atives is like tying bladders under the
arms of one who can't swim; ten
l . t ...mi i l:- Ll-.l
couocea o one ne win lose um uw-i
dcrs and go to tho bottom. TcacbJ
him to swim, uud he will never need
tho bladders. Give your child a
sound education, and a good trade
and you have done enough for him.
See that his morals are pure, his mind
cultivated, and his whole nature made
subservient to the laws which govern
men, and you have given what will ho
of more value than the wealth of tho
Indies, To bo thrown upon one's re
sources, is to be cast into the very
lap of fortune, lor our faculties then
undergo a development nnd display
an energy, of which they were previ
ously unsusceptible.
TO
Thou art my only treasured guest,
Of nil the world tho dearest, best
Eel rouriiers fawn on royalty,
Well pleased a look lo get,
I'd rather win n smile from theo
Thau wear a coronet.
With thee lihVsdarkest hour is bright,
Depiived ol thee, life has no light,
My heafi thy llirono is day and uigjit,
My gems iliine eyes of jet.

FREEDOM OF THE I'll ESS.
Around bar waist I put my arm
ll felt its soft as cuke,
"Oh dear," said she, "what liberty
You printer hoys do lake !''
"Why yes, tu y Mol, my charming gul,
(1 sipieezed lier some I guess,)
Can you say aught, my chick, against
The free. loin ol' llie press.'"
1 kissed her some I did by gum
She colored like a beet,
L'pon my living soul she looked
A I most too good lo eat;
I gave i.iioibe r buss and then,
Says In-, "I do con less,
I rather kinder, sorter like
The freedom of the press!"'
HOME LIFE.
Here are some very judicious re
marks on ii much needed reform in
this country :
The homes of America will not be

be w hole of human life? Then il is
these every day. They crowd into
cities. They crowd into villages.
They swarm into all places where
life is clowned wiih higher signifi
cance; and the old shell ol Inline is
deserted by every bird as soon as il
can lly. Ancestral homesteads and
patrimonial acres have no sacredness,
and when Ihe inoiher dies, the stran
ger's presence obliterates associations

of itll things.
I would have you build up for your
selves and for your children a home
which will never be lightly purled
with ii home which shall lie to all
whose lives have been associated with
it, the most interesting and precious
spot upon earth. I would have, that
home the :il mi Ii nf dignity, propriety,,
beauty, grace, love, genial fellowships j
and happy as-ocialions. (tut. from;
such a home I would have good in- ;
lllleliees llow into neighborhoods ami .
communities. In such a home 1 would
see noble ambition taking root, and re- .
ceiving all generous culture. And
then 1 would see you, young husband
and young w ife, happy, Do mil de
prive yourselves of such inllueiices
us w ill come to yoii through an insti
tution like this. No money can pay
j you lor such a iicpi ivaiion. An cir
j cunistii. ices but those of uller poverty
can jilstily you in denying these inllu
eiices to your children.
In order lo love mankind except but
i little from them; tu order to view their
I f-tuls without bitterness- WC IlltlSt ac-
custom ourselves to pardon Ihem, and
to perceive that indulgence is a jus

to demand from wisdom. The wisest
men have always been the most in
diligent. I'.WtlAVKI.J,.

The. best light to light a man thro'
tho world is a pair of gentlo, bright
eyes, in a loving companion. Ex.
Yes, but when they go to Bleep, a
fellow has to take a caudlo in prefer
ence. A good man's heaven commence
here. The same may bo said of a
wicked man's hell.
There is more sunshine in one good

Keep out of bad company, for the

Many a true heart, that would have

A poetical genius returning from a
fashionable party, laboring under the
inlliii iiee of champagne and low

When dressed for a parly, iho girls now-a-davi.
Scarce ao atom of dress on them leave,
And they're right for, oh! what's on ev

A paper out West has for its motto:
" Hood will to all men who pay

Why is a man eating soup with a

Heart ?
Do you give it up'
J5eeau.se it takes so long to get
enough of it.
A philosopher being asked what
w;is the first thing necessary to will

A young lady fainted at the dinner-

The best cough mixture that has

thick boots mixed w ith plenty of air
and plenly of exercise, l'cople that
hug the stove pipe and grow lean
will please notice.
(ireat poets are like, great moun
tains, they have a great many echoes.
liiisiness men run to one idea, and
that is business.
The presence of those whom wo
love is ii double life.
People are all the summer learn

winter learning to close it.
A Il ia I! ti iua.oii. " M r. Jones,

"Certainly, my dear main; anything

your only chance, if you love her well
enough to try it.
