The Boston young lady has arrived at Saratoga. I mean the,real literary young lady?the Siege of Ttpy girl She grew np in Boston and graduated at Vassar College last year. She" wears eye glasses, and full of wisdom. vBhe scans Homer, rattles tho verb ' lipo'' like the mult; plication table sings Anacreon to the uid melodies, and puff up her hair after the statue of the Venns of Milo. There is no end to her knowledge of Iheclaasi eal dictionary and when it comes to Charles Lamb or Sydney Smith?South eiPA&iJilej^ur^thos^jhn never wrote but got the credit of every good joke in England?she can say their jokes as a TJatholic says his beads, If you ask her how she likes babies, she answer: "How ?' Well, as Charles Limb re marked, 'I like 'em b?b?boiled." A*k her anything, and she will always lug in a quotabinn fro'u sotno pcdinlic old fool like Dr. Johnson or Swift or. Jack Buosby, just to show you that she is up in iife, -iuru, and that you arc? green. Not a single original idea, but one constant 'as Socrates said,' or 'as Pinto remarked,' or 'as Diogenes obser ved.' Yesterday, some sharp, shrewd, original New York young ladies got hold of the pedantio business, and iutrodueed a funny paraphase on Miss Boston's language. 'Do you love musio, Sallie ?' 'Well, 'yes,' as tho poot observed.' 'How many glasses did you drink th is moruing V. "Six/ as Mr. Daball pathetically re marked in his arithmetic' "Dance the round dances ?' "No,' as the Lord Mayor of London quietly observed as John lluskin asked him for tho loan of 48/ 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 "bluffs" you right down. When you go to your room, and read up, and fiud she has real ly "bluffed* you of courseyouarcti>o gentle to mention it, and so this Boston girl goes on plumming herself at the expenses of New Yerk gallantry. Yesterday the Boston girl was at it again. Somebody asked hor who was .the oldest, Mcthuscla or Dcutcrono my 7 "Why, Barns, tho ooinnentator says Deuteronomy came bofore Numbers'? of course ho 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 those miserable Boston fellows say with that terrible upward inflection, How aro you, Eli Perkins ! 01 no. But when I did go up to my room I sent out to a gentleman in Saratoga who hss severel bibles to lend, and got the Pentateuch?and sure enough, just my luck, that miserable, pedantio, spectacled Boston gir' was right. If you sit down by this. Boston girl and don't behave like a miuister she don't get mad and pout. O ! no. She says, Mr. Tompkins, shall I repeat a feat Uops from Surtboer's 1 and thou she goes ' OR? Why can't ?/ou be sensible Harry! I doat like man's arms on my chair. Be still! if you don't stop this nonsense. I'll get up and leave you?so there ! And when you take oat 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 lookti up blushiugly, sod in the language of Swinburne poetically remarks; There! somebody's coming?don't lnok so? ?et up on your own chair again? Can't you seemed as nothing hud happened T I never aaw such geese as you aca ! On The Shoemaker's Ponies. BY EDWARD EOOLESTON. The Germans have a periphr&se for walking?they "ride on the shoemaker's ponies." In the early West it by no means followed that a maxi 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 slightiug the feet as means of locomotion, as if one would affect to have ridden when ho had walked. It is like the device of the negro dandy wflo used to buekcl a spur upen each heel, taking a riding whip in hand to walk to. meeting. We have no more legs. There is now going on an atrophy of tho lower extrc mi ies. I once heard a witty lady, mocking at popular mock modesty apeaks of her pedestals. We aro all coming to this. There will soon be nothing but pedestals, and those of the slenderest sort. Vi hether the next stage will see us developed into legless ebeings is a speculation more curious than practical, perhaps. There is no exercise so fine as walking if one knows how to take it. When a dis ease in one part of tho body 'becomes in curable & physician will sometimes nt tack it by revulsion"?that is, attacking some other part, and thas diverting the sickucss from its stronghold. So a man uses his head until the brain is weary, needs to tire his lego. You complain that you cannot walk. Because you do do not observe the rules. Walk easily. Take time. Do not hurry yoursdf in- o exhaustion, lie gin by walking as you can bear it. Every now and thcu I backslide, get nervous, think the sun hurts me aud take to riding in street cars. Threo months ago a mile wearied me. The circulation tended to the brain. Sleep was difficult. I determined to seek ro lief as before in walking. By'walking at first two milcss. and afterward iocrcu ?ing the distance, I was soon able to trudge off ten miles in an afternoon without regard to heat. Sunstroke I It is not people who live right and oxer eise frcoly that suffer from the sun. Did you ever sit in a Turkish bath? The first throe minutes you were ready to fuiut, to burst, to die, to blow up with the intolerable dry heat. But when onco tho petspi ration had started and all tho little safety valves were open you were able to take with pleasure thirty or forty degrees moce of heat than yon had when an explosion seemed imcci nent. To when you are nervous about walking, aud the heat seems daogorous, you havo only to start off in a steady, easy gait. At the eud of a mile walking is delightful. You wouldn't ride if you could.?Hearth and Home. Glimpses of Comnilng Prosperity. Newspaper correspondents who are making tours of the Southern States re ports that new manufacturing schemes of all sorts are much talked of, and that there is a fair prospect of a revival of industry. Revival is hardly tho word, however. It is a rather a creation. The district which before the war wore destitute of the slightest trace of tm.nu. factoring enterprise are those which are now indicated as the Lowe'Is sod Mao chcetersof the future, and the only drawback to the accomplishment of the desired results is the waut of capital. Yet the statistics of the experiments slready made show that tho promise of a good return for investments U not without foundation. One correspondent writes thai "the past fivo years have witnessed a great revival of the old year* ning after maohinery, that the land is half secretly overrun with surveyors and speculators in mill property, who are prospecting /or 'advantageous situations for future factories, and that those mills which are ready at work, cotton twills I especially, pay dividends which are 1 almost beyond belief. Dividends of twenty five per cent, per annum aro said to be common among the few mills now in operation, and in one Instance a profit of fifty per cent has been obtained. The same correspondent dwells upon the ad vantages of Southern mills over those of the North, arising from the facts that th^y use the cotton fresh from the field, before its staple has been sudjected to the pressure of baling, that the cost of bag ging and hooping and transportation is saved and that tho development of the new coal field of the South will make luel cheap and so reduce the outlay for motivo power. These strong points and if thoughtful and sensiblo Southerners can be brought to see that the use of their own resources and the application of their own hard labor are thereal pro cesses through which wholesome reha bilitation must come, tho next census will axhibit a striking contrast to that of 1870.?N.

Squire Blinks, a retired old gentle man, lives away down on Seventh street. 1'he other morning three old ladies from Macon county came to his house on a visit. They used to know his wife be fore she was married. The Squire wel comed them to his mansion, and then went eut to the barn and swore for half an hour. While he wr? soothing himself thus his wifo called him into the house. Shu handed him an umbrelai to keep off the sun, and said the ladies had walked up from the depot and* left some things there for him to bring np. So he brought them up, making two round trips for tho basfets, band boxes, and uo black oil cl^frtra^rttatjbags, allot which the Squire discourteously sailed 'infernal old trops.' As he sat in the back kitchen wiping his brow, his wife brought out the mar ket basket and said tbore was not a bit of sugar or tea iu the house, and sho re marked that while he was going down tow.i he might as well get the molasscs jug filled. The Squire aksed her how long thoso old migratory pelicans were going to stay. And she asked him if he thought she would be so rude as to ask them. Then the Squire wont down and laid in the groceries. When he got back his wife said she hid forgotten something and thought of it just when it was too lato? She must have- some corn-starch. The Squire asked her if any of the old scarce-crows had dropped the least hint as to the 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 sho wss fond of codfish. The Squire asked if the old buzzards hed yet committed themselves on the extent of thoir present roost. She said he ought to be ashamod of himself When he slapped the cod fish down on the table with a whang his wife got him to bring in some water and wood: said Mr. SpooStugjr said she never -dine 1 without ale, and tho Squire was asked if he would go down and bring up a bottle. He asked if be shouldn't go into the parlor and get thoso old cormorants to make out a list of what they did like, and furthermore asked if they were yet silent as to when they thought they could go away He tot the ale, and for fear ho would have to trot down tejsn again, ho hirod an express wagon and Ibaded it with all sorts of garden truok, a bottle of whis key, a box of sardines, a pound of snuff, some eove oysters, dried apples, beans, smoked tongue, out and dried tobacco, ..pickled walnuts, caunod corn, mack oral, split peas-, eto. She next day the Squire was sent down town only oight times. Early the next morning ho started out into the country to see a. man. When he got home he asked his wife if any time had qeen set for the departure. On the evening of the following Monday one of the ladies said she thought they ought to start on the next Friday, so as to reach home before Sunday. -Mr*. Biuks said they oughtn't to bo in a hnx ry. The Squire groaned and said they ought to stay and make thoir visit out. On. Friday morning the Squire 'had an express wagon before the doof. Bus the wife said the ladies had concluded to stay until after the Fourth. Then sat Squire went out to saw wood and eon verso with himself. How Hans Got Even. Once on a time there lived a jovial Dutchman, whose name was Hans Von Shrimpetifiel. He had a wife. He had a little grocery, where beer and such personal property were sold. He gave credit to a parcel of day customers, andk kept his book with a piece of white chalk on the head-board of the bedstead. One day Mrs. Shrimpetifiel, during a neat fit, took uyoo herself to olean the house aud things. So she did, and she cleaned tho head boad, and with soap aud water settled the old man's accounts by wiping away every ohalk mark. Pretty soon, before long, the old Ten? der of things came into his house and saw what a ruin bis frau had wrought* Then ho said : . . "Meio Gott, Fran Shrimpetifiel, what for you make a ruined man of me 7 I guess not ? You make wipe away all dem names and figures what I ova them feller's what's goin^ to pay before the* get ready, and I loose mores zwio hund red dollars!" His frau left the room in fear sb4 disgust. When she returned he had recovered the head-board with chalk marks. Then she said: "Hans, you have make them all right, don't it?" "Well, mein tearer frau, 1 make the figures all right, but I put downsaome petter names as dem old fellers rot yon viped oat, ven you rubed Jo head-Ward off do names/' - in ? in i ? Tai Deacon's Doo.?tt wo* a greet * many years ago, at a camp meeting, that Brother Higgins, a good man but nnssionatelv fond cf dogs, earns in one day necompanicd by a black aad tea hound. Somebody asked him to addreaa the congregation, and he mounted the stand for the purpose, while his dog sat down upon his haunches immediately im front, looking at his mas'er. -lathe midst of the discourse, which entertain ed us much, another dog came up, and after a few social whiffs at Brother Hlg gins' dog, began to examine the hind leg of the latter rrith his teeth k apparent ly for the purpose of asccrtaiaing if it was tender. An animated. coeu)fjl?jeA sued, and one of the congregation came for ward for the purpose of separating the animals. His efforts were not wholly successful. He would snatch at the' leg of Higgins' dog, but before his hand got thero the yellow dog would be on that side, and would probably take an in cidental and cursory bite at the deacon's hand. Brother Higgles paused In his discourse and watched the deacon. Then he exclaimed, "Spit in his eye, Brother Thompson, spit in the hound's eye H* Brother Thompson did, and the fight ended. "But I just want to say," eon tinued Mr. Higgins, "that outside of the sanctuary that dog of mine can cat up any salmon colored animal in the State, and then ehaw up the bones of its aneea tors for four generali?.ns, without turn ing a hair! You understand me?" Then the services proceeded. A Sad Situation*.?A short tisae since a gentleman with long, fair whiskers, and dressed in the height of fashion, entered a hosiers in Vienna, and requested the shop-woman, who happened to be alone, to show him some colored shitts. Every variety waa brought out,, when ho made his choice, and requested that a parcel might be made for him. This being done, "what an idiot I am/' said he; "1 have not seen how tho shirts look when on. Would you oblige me, mademoiselle, by putting en one over your dress V 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 the effect And now," he added, taking up his parcel, "allow me to wish you a very good morning I" and in an instant he was outside the door and had disap peared, the unhappy girl appansatly stupified, not daring to follow him into the street on account ofbersing iar cost a me. > ? If the pious old maid, who alts in her piaua, these hot nights, and sings' from 1 Gra^uland'a icy ? mountains," dont choose some hiss aggravating melody, she will be iudieted as a nuisance.*
