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. Every now nnd then 1 backslide, get nervous, think the sun hurts me and take to riding in street cars. Three months ago a ruilo wearied rao. The circulation tended to the brain. Sleep was difficult. I determined to seek rc lief as before in walking. By walking at first two ruiless. and afterward incrcn siug the distance. I was soon nhle to trudge off ten miles in an afternoon without regard to heat. Sunstroke 1 It is not people who live right and excr eise freely that suffer from the huo. Did you ever sit in a Turkish bath 7 The first three minutes you were ready to faiut, to burst, to die, to blow up with the intolerable dry heat. But when oucc tho perspiration had started nnd all the little safety valves were open you were able to take with pleasure thirty or forty degrees moce of heat than you had when an explosiou seemed imtni nent. To when you ure nervous about walking, and the heat seems dangorous, you have only to sturt off in a steady, ensy gait. At the eud of a mile walking is delightful. You wouldn't ride if you could.?Hearth and JIon%c. 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 of 1S70.?N. Y. Com. Advrrthcr. 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. anaajH If the pious old maid, who sits in her piaise, these hot eight*, and sings from f'Greenland's icy mountains," dont choose some lees aggravating melody, she will be indicted as a nuisance,*
