NICE.
If yoe stood on tho sunny seashore
With a girl of the modern school,
As the waves were* dancing lightly,
With the breezes soft and cool,
And you- asked her if the picture
Was not worth viewing twice.
She'd tell you, without reflection,
She certainly thought it was nice?
If you met by chance of an evening,
And talked of the-concert or play,
And ventured to hint in a careless
And lightly indifferent way,
That Lucca was at least surpassing.
That M Divorce" was a clever device.
She'd tell you with perfect composure,
She certainly thought they were nice.
If von happened in conversation
To touch upon Trollope or Reade, .
OT Tyndall, or Darwin, or Spencer
If o matt?* what the creed
And you asked if for leisure moments
These authors would not suffice,
She'd tell you .in words of the wisest,
She certainly thought they were ni?e.
If you sat in a vast cathedral,
While voices rich and rare,
In sweet, melodious accents,
Chanted the evening prayer,
And you asked if It didn't impress her,
Her um wer would be concise,
She'd tell you in accents oharmlng,
She certainly thought it was nice.
If art was one of your hobbies
That gave you the greatest delight ;
If you were a lover of beautv
Believed in lesthet i cal might ;
If from bei concerning these topics
Her opinion von tried to en ti ^e,
She'diell you fn syllables sweetest,
Ehe certainly thought they wore nice.
So it's nice to read novels and dance,
It's nice to be good-in Lent ;
It's nice to have plenty of money, . ?
It's nice not to care how it's spent ;
1 t's nice to play Sunday senor? teacher.
It's nice to dabble with vice.
In short, with the girl of the period,
It's certain that everything's nioe.
Why I am an Old Maid.
I'm an old maid, snd what is worse,
I expect always to be one. Till one
year ago to-night I lived in hope of
being delivered from this terrible
state ; but now I have given up all
hope, and settled down into a condi
tion bordering on despair. As soon
as I gashed into young ladyhood, I
made a resolve to get married while
I was. young, and handsome, and
stood a good chance ; but I utterly
failed, and now, like the man who
was cured of a disease by a remedy
that he discovered, and then offered
it gratis to others, I am going to tell
my story as a receipt for old maid i sm.
Those who wish to follow in my foot
steps may go and do likewise;" and
vice versa.
Well, to begin, I always made it a
point to be at all the parties.
If I didn't get an invitation I in
vited myself. I always contrived to
get money enough (father was a lit
tle parsimonious and held on pretty
tight to his purse strings), by cajol
ing the dear old gent into the beliel
that he was a paragon of goodness
and magnanimity. So Twas always
furbelowed and frizzled and the queen,
in my own estimation at least, of all
fashionable circles. My mother and
my younger sisters stayed at home
and worked, while I flitted from store
to store in search of the latest novel
ties : coquetted at balls and parties ;
rode, sailed and reveled in all sorts.
of pleasures. I'm not sure that they
didn't practice some selfdenials in or
der-that I might enjoy these privi
leges. I never took the trouble to
investigate. I was the flower of the
family, and of course wa3 entitled to
the best of everything.. And then
my superior talent, elevated tone of
mind and rare personal charms, de
manded for me a wider range of ac
tion and a diiferent mode of life from
theirs.
Well, I found it would be best not
to be too precipitate in making an en
gagement. I ought to see life in its
varied phases, study characters in
different lights, for a while at least.
The fact is, I liked to flirt, and I did
so to my heart's Content, though I
fully intended to make a life choice
before it was too late. I liked to lure
on the sighing swains to a confession
of undying love and eternal fidelity
and so forth, and then demurely teil
them that I never dreamed of such
an end to what was only a harmless
flirtation ; that I was sorry for the
pain inflicted ; but I nwist decline
their proposa s ; and to give emphasis
to my words, I would let fall a re
pentant tear or two. I really de
spised every one of these idiots, 'ard
was provoked that they should aspire
to my hand. I looked much higher:
but for some unaccountable reason
those whom I admired and was dying
to bring to n*y feet kept aloof. I
used all my arts, but to no purpose.
They would flutter around me awhile,
and then fly off.
Things went on this way for years.
I do not know how many suicides I
was the cause of. I only know that
life was one gay holiday. At last
there began to be a falling off of ad
miren, and I became alarmed. I re
sorted oftener to rouge and cosmetics,
dressed more and became gayer than,
ever. Sut forall that, old maidism
stared me threateningly in the face.
One night after I had retired to
my room, I was standing before my
mirror, rearranging my hair for the
night, my sharp eye detected some
thing glistening like a thread of sil
ver in-the ebon locks that hung around
my shoulders. I looked closer, and
nttttred a sharp exclamation. A grey
hair ! Horror of Horrors ! The hair
I was so proud of actually fuming
grey 1 Girls, I pray you may not be
call ed to behold the first . grey hair
while in a single state. May you
never suffer euch ? tempest of morti
fication, anger and sorrow, HS swept
over my soul,that night! I raved as
in a delirium. I upset a pitcher of
hot water,' and nearly scalded my
fe?t, which made me as savage as a
bear. I pricked my fingere, and
acratched my face with the provoking
pins, that seemed possessed with ob
stinacy, and wonld bend and prick
and scratch. I actually tore my hair,
ia the insane wish, I suppose, of pull
ing it Out by th? roots, and saving it
from its impending fat?-a foretaste
of which was before me. I can't tell
what I didn't do!
.When it was over ? eat down and I
jafiSSI *n<* than and there I Brade
I
a ?tern resolution to gat married im
mediately. This resolution had a
soothing effect, and I slept. I never
let anything keep me awakes I
could sleep 12 hours on the'stretch
any time I was well f for my nerves
were in such a state ! They needed
quieting.
The next evening, as if the fates
were on my side. I met my destiny,
in the'persan bf a cadaverous looking
individual who called himself Jede
?criah Peters. T always admired high
sounding names, and this one, espe
cially-it was so euphonious, and. sa
voured so mnch of antiquity. I ad
mired the man, too, not for his hand
some face (he was plain, and no mis
take.) but for his regal carriage, (he
was full six feet six, and carried him
self with the air of a king,) and for
Lis dainty white hands, and taper
fingers, that were always decked with
three or four costly rings. Then he
wore such an elegant watch and chain
i (I dote on jewelry), and such a love
of a cane. Oh, yes, I would certain
ly become Madame Peters. I en
couraged him, for he was rather diiB
dent and needed help, and soon I had
him in my power. The fateful even
ing arrived. I knew by certain un
mistakable signs that he intended to
propose, and I was ready for it. I
should accept, of. course, for I had set
my heart on him and his fifty thous
and a year (and, girls, I remembered
the grey hair) ; but I did want to go
through <jpe more act in the role of
the coquette, that I had learned so
well, before ? lost my freedom forever.
I found that I had not lost my relish
I for such scenes. I did so to my. sor
I row. Jedediah came, and, as I had
j anticipated, proposed.
"Abigail," said he, "you know I
! dote on you*. Will you be my wife ?"
" Your wife, Jedediah Petem? How
dare .yon ?" I exclaimed. At the same
j time I was dying to fall npon his
shirt bosom, and say, " Here I am
take me."
"Abigail," he whimpered, "I
thought you loved me. Have you
been deceiving me all this time ? If
you have, I'll shoot myself."
He didn't look much like it. It
would require more timely moral
courage than he possessed, I thought.
"Love you!" I echoed, "do you
expect me to love a snob ?-ono whose
highest ambition is to wear a gold
chain, and flirt about a cane?'*
I was even then secretly admiring
the cane, and flashing envious glances,
upon, the chain.
Well, the weak man actually be
came ghastly. What was the use of
taking it so hard? I steeled my heart,
however, thinking that I would soon
heal the wound with kisses and hon
eyed words. 4
He spoke again, in terribly harsh
tones, I thonght.
" Do you mean to BZJ, Abigail
Skinner, ?hat yon refuse my offer?"
" Certainly, sir. Do you doubt it?*'
He. muttered something about
" heartless coquette," M unparalleled
audacity," and, before I had time to
utter a word he marched out of the
house. " Then I burst into a loud peal
of laughter, which he must have
heard, for he turned partially round,
and then quickened his step onward.
To-morrow he would come again, I
thought, and perhaps to-night. I had
provoked him, but he loved ce and
would soon get over it, and then I
would make it all right. He would
enjoy the joke in the end, tho' it was
death now.
To-morrow came, but not Jedediah
Peters. I felt a little uneasy ? "but
then, i thought hi.s anger hadn't cool
ed. He will come to-morrow. He
wasa coxcomb, anyhow, and wouldn't
be much of a loss, if I was sweet H?X
teen or thereabouts. Do you think,
girls, that, I would have deigned to
look at him had it not been for that
grey hair? Not I. But when a wo
man sees her youth departing, and
lovers forsaking her, also, it is no
time to be fastidious.
Weil, a day or two passed. The
third day I- hnd a headache and fear
ful forebodings. The fourth day a
gossipping neighbor came in*. Almost
the first words she uttered were :
" Have you heard the news? Jede
diah Peters has married Sally Good
rich, and they sailed for Europe to
day."
I seemed af. once to become petri
fied, and lay a lifeless lump upon the
floor. When I came to myself, I had
time to think, and my thoughts were
anything but pleasant. My hopes
were crushed entirely. My troubles
wore upon me, and very soon I be
came old ana wrinkled and grey, and
spiritless and soar. I am snubbed
because I am an old maid, and alto
gether lead a miserable life; and all
on account of my propensity to flirt.
to DEVELOP TALENT.-Place a
young man in a position that will
fearfully tax him and try-hi m ; a po
sition that will often bring a blush on
.his cheek and the sweat to his brow,
a position that will overmaster him
at times, and cause him to rack his
brain for resource. Place him in a
position like this. But every time he
trips go to his rescue; go. not with
words of blame or censure. But go
with manful words of encouragement;
look him boldly in the eye, and speak
them with soul and emphasis. This
is the way to make a man of a boy.
And ci giant of a man. If a man has
pluck and talent, no matter whether"
he ever filled a given position or not-,,
put him in it, if worthy, and he vail
soon not only fill it, bat outgrow it.
Pat ope in a position with a faint
heart. This is the way to kill him.
Put him in grandly with most unmis
takable confidence. Drop no caveats,
but boldly point the way and then
stand by with a will and countenance
of a true friend. -Thoa try twenty
men, such as.haye been named, and

The Glory: of the Farmer?
The benefit, conferred upon i
kind by the farmer, and the plea
which attaches to his vocation,
cliarmingly portrayed by Ralph \

follows :
"The glory of the farmer is t

solitude in case they do. not succ
