Its origin was not unlike that of the various orders of knighthood which are so intimately associated with its his tory. Some brave men of gentle blood,-united themselves for the purpsse of protecting the weak, devoting their swords to the work. One of their chiefvirtues was cour age, for without it their uidertak. ing would have been childish. Chastity Was enjoined, for it is the .sentiment of noble minds to re spect woman, and she stood in pe culiar danger in an age of brute force.-Of all the weak, she ap pealed most strongly to the chival rous adventurer, and this senti -mont produced that devotion to the sex which was the supreme manifestation of chivalry. The knightly character, consequently, was exalted to an almost incredi. ble pitch, and the dominion of wo man became unbounded. The knight who had no lady-lovo was :regarded as a tree without fruit or leaves, or a body without a soul. An old writer of medimval times quaintly observes: "lie who loy ally serves his ladye, will not only be blessed to the height of man's felidity in this life, but will never fall into'those sins which will pro tent his happiness hereafter. Pride will be entirely effaced from the heart of him who endearors by humility and~courtesy to win the grace of aladye. T he0 true faith Q(a lover will defend him from the other deadly sins of anger, ohVy; sloth, and gluttony; and his <ievotigh' to his mistress renders the th'ought-impossible of his con duet 6War beng stained wi'th the vice of-incontinence." In those days the education of ;the \Woman corresponded to that of the man. She was taught to dress uiihply, to bear herselt be 40ingln~y, and to be courteous to all. Sh e had some knowledge of medicine, and was skilled to heal the wounds which had been in tlie(od in her behalf. She did not rom:ble amnidst dangers, or faint at the sight of blood, but was thoroughly imbued with the spirit Mt the times. It 18 possible t'herec ,May be some exaggeration in wvha is said of the position of woman in the age of chivalry, butt still it was ja high one; the effect was good then, and has been productive of good until now, the lofty consid. oration in which the sex is held in all civilized counties being one of' tl#e'conseqden.es of this institu tion. -TwiUklinlgkom the tr Weak whiskey and strong butter ruin nany a grocer.

Death is the great an tagonist of life, ;and the cold thought of the tomb iis the hkelo ton of all feasts. We do not want, to go through tho:dark valley, al ithough its pasi'alus -may lead to pd;adiso;-and; *ith CharlesLamb, we do not want to lie down in- the muddy grave, even with kings and princesses'for our bed-follows. But the flat-of nature is inexo. rable. There is no appeal of re liof from the great -law Which dooms us to dust. We flourish ;and we fade-as the leaves of the forests,-and the flower that blowns and withers in a- day has not a frailer 'hold upon life than the mightost monarch that ever shook the earth with his footsteps. G en. orations of men appear and vanish as the grass, and the countless multitude that throngs the world to-day. will, to-morrow, di8appear as the footsteps on the shore. In the beautiful drama of Ion, the insect of immortality, so elo quently uttered by the death-de voted Greek, finds a deep response in every thoughtful soul, When about to yield his young existence as a sacrifice to fate, his beloved Clemanthe asks if they shall not meet again, to which lie replies : "I have asked that dreadful ques. tion of the hills that look eternal -of the clear streams that flow forever-of the stars among whose fields of azure my raised, spirit hath walked in gloryU All were dumb. But while I gaze upon thy living face, I teel that there is something in the love that man tiCes through its beauty that can not wholly perish. We shall meet again, Clemanthe." TH1E DEAD CIILD.-The child is dead. All night long we have listened to its dying moans, and just as the day dawned its clear eyes closed in death, and its pure spirit wont back to the God that gave it. It is ours no more on earth; its voice is silent in our household, and the powers of its little feot make music around our hearthstone no longer. A hI it is hard to feel that our little darlinay is gone from home and hearts folr ever-gone to the grave, with its hands folded on its icy bosom, and its face covered up from the balmy air and the warm sunshine itloved so mueb; but I will not wool). It is the Lord's; lie has taken it home to live with Him. As the mother takes her youngest child the pet and darling of the household, and carries it in her arms to her up per' room, anid lays it down to slo.:p with kisses and blessings; so God has taken our little darling, carried it to his is everlbi~ing arms lip to His own home to live. And it is our child still, Though we cannot 8s00 its dear face now, or listen to its playful prattle, it is still our Owvn. And when this life is over, we will find the pre. cious one again, and fold it to our hearts forever, in that better and brighter home " hr the beautiful fades net away." GIVING THE: HEARtT.-"Mother," said a little boy, wvho had only numbered threoe summers, "what does it moan to give your heart to God ?" The mother put down her sow ing, and looking at her boy, said: "Ch arlie, do you lovo any body ?" With a look of stirprise, the child answereod, "I love you ;I love my father, my alfer and Henry." "Then you giveoyour heart to your father, to H-enr~y, to yotir Sister, and to me; and you show that love by doing all you can for us, and obeying our cornmnands."

"Beau Htokman." Hanging about the front of the Metropolitan every day, and some. timqfs pooring in the doorway, for notice has been gerved upon him to keep out of the hotel, -is a gray. haired, broken-down old man, bobbling Pailfully along with a cane, for .he has the gout, besidoB several kinds of rheumatism, who has been as well known Washirg ington for thirty yeas past as the most distinguished statesman in the land. This is the famous "Beau Hickman," or what there is left of him. His -eccontricities have furnished columns or para graphs for nowapapers all over the country, though to see him now one would naturally wonder how he ever came to got a nation -al notoriety. Ho couldn't have done it anywhere but in Washing toin. Take him anywhoro olse in the world and he would simply be considered a common nuisance, and treated accordingly. He be longs to some rare old Virginia family (tradition says), and gained the title of "Beau" some thirty years ago, when he had money, by the style he used to affect at the Virginia springs and other places of public resort. Ie boasts ofhaving been on ternms of easy ft miliarity with Clay, Calhoun, Ben ton and the rest, who figured at the capital when the Beau was in hia prime, and no doubt they (lid tolerate and patronize him. If lie had any wit in those days, or was in the least manner enter taining, there is not the slightest indication of it remaining. He wears a seedy half-military cloalk over his shoulders all the time; liis hat is of a defunct style, but neatly brushed always, and an eyo-glass dangles in front of him from a ribbon. There are several little points about him that show the dilapidated dandy. His custom fbi y'ars was to collect a dollar a piece from all Congressmen and those who had sOcuiled Governmont positions in Washington, on their first arrival at the capital. He only asks for a quarter now, and is ready to take anything that is offered, even a three-coit piece. He mourns over the degenerated re public-says there are no men of brains at Washington any more. le leans against a pillar of the hotel and smiles scornfully on our great American statesmen as they pass, Eggleston, Strader and the rest, and mutters words of gloom and -bitterness.

BLooMEs-TH.E WOMAN I N PANTALOONS. -A i in b or o f "blooics," calling themselves tle ".National Dress Reform and Equal Rightm Association," met in Wanshi ngton on Wednesday night to discuss the great question of pants and petticoats. The asso ciation seemedl to be composed of two women in br'ooches, to wit: D)octi'ess Mary Walker., of' Wash ington, and Dloctress LJydia Sayer' Hlasbrouck, Syracuse, N. Y. The audience was mostly composed of young seamIps w ho caime for' amuse ment, and( n ho kept up the most boisterous decmonstr'ations durin r the pr'oceedlings. Doctress Wa 1 ker pride(Id, and opeoned the speaking with a stirrinig address, which brought down the house, and sent the boys into ecstacies. Doctreoss Hasbroucek, wAho says she is an editor, followed at con siderable length, coniclud(ing with a regular attack upon Piresident Grant for his contempt of women in breoches. She said that she hadl come to Washington to be chief of the modiste department, which she inferred, fi'om the Pros ident's course,' ho intended to set up. She thoughlt she could r'egu late the panta loon business, and the boys urged her on with cries of "Go it, old gal, go it-and bully for you," &c. She was p)artieular ly severe upon the Pr'oaident be cause of his alleged refusal to see Dir. Mary Walkor' until she wore the usuaj oostumn of' her' sex. A t the conchuijon Mr's. Dr'. Walker announced that Miss Hlasbrouok had her promnises all wrong. Pres idenf Grant had never said it, but Pro.ident Lincooln had remarked that he wAs afraid to seo.a woman whb wot'e'pants. A p.tent has beenD.-obtained for the mhfheturo of water-proof' paper. 1t would be no mupommon thing, by anri'b~Yto carry a quart 6f milk hbti1sw $i e b ag. Mrs. Dr. Mary Walker in an Awkward "Fix." The recent accounts of' the fail tire of this lady t9 ol4t.ain an in torview with General. Grant be 0auso she wore panloOns, have revived the following 'necdote: "While with the imy of the Potomac, in the sam or of 1863, Dr. Walker viaited'tho'head-quar ters of Col. (afteraids General) Samuel Carroll of the decond army corps. Failing in all her efforts to obtain bor regular commission as surgeon inl the army, and hav ing only permission to remain with tile troops in the capacity of nurse, the 'doctor' was frequently obli god to accept the hospitality of olicers. On the occasion reflar red to, she plainly stated to Col. Carroll her intention of tarrying at his head-quarters a fow days for the laudable purpose of look ing after the siok. Of course the General consented and being as gallant as ho is brave,,offered her the sole use of his tent, which she accepted. So fatr so good. Early on the morning after her arrival, a field. offlcer of the 7th West Vir ginia regiment, of Carroll' brigade -ai bluff, honest, brave, devil-may care back-woodsman--took a wailik over to brigade headquarters, and noticing the flies of Carroll's tent werestill tied, thoughtit wassomile wihat strange that his command ing officor, generally-an early ri serl, should remain in bed at so late an hour. 'I have it,' said he, thinkinga moment; and approach ing the tent, ho quietly untied tile canvass doors, winking at the same time to several staff officers who were near by, attempting to control their risibilities. The face of the sleeper was hidden by the bed covering, and the officer, quietly lifting at the foot of the couch, and encircling 'two warm ankles Wth his rawny paws, while h~ijiThid'he head of 'th bed intently to soo if the sleeper awoke, slhouted at the top of his lungs as he dragged the body completely out of the bed to the floor: 'Carroll, you lazy cuss, get up here I It's 8 d'e-' The rest of the sentence was lost in a piereling scream, such as only a fleinalo in distress can furinish at, short notice, and the jolly officer, abashed and dunmffinded, bound ed from the tent like a stag struck by a three-ounce bullet. The joke was too good to keep, and the re suit was that every soldier in the second corps knew the story about Col. - of the Seventh Vir ginia pulling Dr. Mary Walker out of bcd."

Among the reg ular attendants on the meeting wats a bcautifil and estimable, but rather unsophisticated young lady, wlhose friends were ver-y anxious to have her unite with the c-hurch. She seemed, hxowever-, reluctant to do so, and the minister in ques tion wa's requestecd "to t alk to her.-" This lhe did several times, on one occassion, saying in a jocular m)annler-"Miss M if you will join the ohurich, I'll marr-y youl,'' me'aning he would per-form the cermony.

For kissing.a homely one, two dollars-tlio extra amount being added probably for the man's fo I I't I or ladios kissing one another, two dollars. The tax is piaced at this ratein order to break up th custom altogether-it boing ro. garded by our M. C.'s, as a piece of inexcusable absurdity. For every flirtation, ten cents. Every younis man who hlas more than one girl, is taxed five dol lars. For courting in the kitchen, twenty-five cents. Courting in the parlor, one dol . r. Courting inl a romantio place, five dollars and fifty cents there after. Seeing a lady home from church, twenty-fivo celits. Going from church without ac companying t lady, five dollars.

Iacli pr.etty lady is to be taxed TrNifi twenty-five -conts- to-twenty five dollars ; she is to fix the esii imate of' her own beauty.
