Halt in?"duty I ??an do
With but little labor;
For with al?iny heart and soul
I do lovo my neighbor.
Nighty uUle credit that,
To my soli-denial ;
'Kot to love her, though, might be
Something of a trial.
"Why, the rosy light that peeps
Through the glass above her
Lingers round her lips; you see
E'enthe sunbeams love her
So, to make my credit more,
I'll go beyond the letter;
Lovo my neighbor as myself?
Yes, and ten times better.
For sho*s sweeter than the breath
Of the spring that passes
Through the fragrant, budding woods
O're the meadow grasses.
And Fve preached the word, I know,
For it was icy duty
To convert the stubborn heart
Of the little beauty.
Once again success has crowned
Missionar3r labor,
For her sweet eyes own that sho
Also loves her neighbor.
ABOUT FLIES.
House Flics, Sand Flies. Time Flies,
and Other Flies.
As the season of final examinations
and graduation exercises is in full blast,
many of our readers may be interested
in the following composition which has
been handed us by one of our education?
al friends. It is credited to a spirited
young lady of a Georgia High School,
and was read before a large audience,
with marked effect. Although the sub?
ject is rather uninviting at first glance,
the youthful writer, who was remarkable
for her naivete, was rapturously applaud?
ed, and her effort considered the most
popular of the day, in spite of being
somewhat entomological. Here it is:
What horrid things flies are ! Every?
body hates them because they always
give us so much annoyance just when
we are most anxious not to be annoyed.
They seem to be intended specially to
worry us in this life and make us more
ready for an exchange to somethiug bet?
ter when the time comes for us to leave
it.
The Bible does not tell us that there
are any flies in Heaveu, but speaks of it
as a place of perfect happiness; and this
could not possibly be true if any flies are
to be found there. It tells us, though,
that when the people of Egypt were vis?
ited with ten plagues as a punishment
for their wickedness, one of these was the
Elague of flies. They had flies in their
ouses and temples, flies at the tops of the
Pyramids and in the bottom of the wells,
ies in their hair, and ears, and eyes, and
faces, and uudersleeves, and hats, and
bonnets, and chignons; flies buzzing
around and biting them by day and by
night; they could scarcely sec anything
but flies, until at last some were blinded
by them,'and thus partly comforted by
not seeing them any more. They would
dream about flies as long as it was possi?
ble to sleep at all; on waking, the first
sound was the music of ten million flies,
steady and noisy as the chatter of a class
of girls just before the tapping of the
bell. Whenever two Egyptian girls
wanted to kiss each other a fly was sure
to come in the way. Whenever a flirta?
tion was carried on, and the young man
was about to say something very sweet,
a fly brushed past and took it off the end
of his tongue. Oh, what unhappiness!
It makes one sigh to think of it. \
We are more blessed than those an?
cient Egyptians, but we see enough of
flies to know the tortures that must have
been suffered from them. Who has not
been waked at sunrise by a fly that want?
ed to make friends with him, crawling
delicately over his hands and face and
neck, gazing into his ear, as if it were a
picture gallery or a set of Madame Jar
ley's wax figures, then suddenly buzzing
off to alight upon his nose ? The sleeper
awakes, but the suulight has no beauty
for him just then, and he tosses his head
to the other side to enjoy the rest of the
happy dreams which had been so rudely
interrupted. But. under a mistaken idea
of devotion, the active fly "sticketh closer
than a brother," and crawleth to the sec?
ond picture gallery, with the intention
of buzzing again to the guileless nose;
then flirts off in time to escape the cor?
dial slap that followed. Again the sleep?
er awakes, but his dream is gone; and
he cannot say his morning prayers, be?
cause his frame of mind is too revengeful.
Opening his Bible, he reads of "the wick?
ed flea whom no man pursueth," and
wonders why it was not written "the
wicked fl>/' instead of the wicked flea.
There are many different kinds of flies.
Cross-eyed people, who love to study
about strange things and dciight in hard
words, give them a host of names that
we girls cannot remember; names that
make us think about the Greek alphabet,
and the shorter catechism, and the Egyp?
tian hieroglyphics, because we do not
understand them very well. Common
names have been given to some kinds
though, for we all know of house-flies,
blue-bottle flies, sand-flies, horse-flies,
yellow-flies, shoo-flics and time-flies.
Of all these kinds, the last is the one
about which we hear most. The name
that the cross-eyed people give it is
"Tempus fugit;" I know this name, be?
cause I heard ray teacher say it, and then
call out "Time-flies." I looked around
to see where they were ; but as I did not
see them, they must be very small, and
very swift when they are passing. Even
their buzzing cannot be heard, and they
do not bite ; yet they seem to be the very
worst of all flies, or at least the grown
people think so, if the girls do not.
Whenever we want to sleep late on Sun?
day morning our mothers wake us just at
the wrong moment, talk about time-flies,
and say the church-bell is ringing.?
Whenever we arc drawing pictures upon
?ur slates, the teacher scowls at us, talks
about time-flies, and asks if we know the
arithmetic lesson. Whenever our older
sisters have young gentlemen in the par?
lor with them, they speak in a great hur?
ry about time-flies, and tell us to go to
bed ; but they never say a word about
suck insects to the young gentlemen.
Our fathers always seem uneasy, and
5ook at their watches, and whisper about
time-flies during the sermon at church.
Somehow they never do so at the dinner
table, it is always the house-flies, or the
shoo-flies, that they want to drive away
then.
I bare never known school girls to talk
about time-flies, yet they do talk about a
great many odd things. It is always the ,
grown people who seem to be troubled j
about these insect creatures, while we |
ourselves cannot perceive them. There-1
fore, time-flics must be like getting mar- j
ried ; one must be grown up before it is >.
proper Lo think about such tilings.

The Stockings of the Period.?The
Paris shops are full of the most fanciful
designs in this one detail of feminine at?
tire. They-are made in cream color,
lemon color, orange yellow, straw color,
pink, pale blue, pale green, lilac, light
brown, dark brown, crimson, scarlet,
purple?in short, in every shade of every
color. But the precise tint is only half
the question; the designs worked upon
the stockings are by far the most impor?
tant part of it, as regards fashion, and
these are of the most varied description.
One pair of stockings which excited
much admiration from the passers of a
certain well-known shop in Paris was in
lemon color, and the instep of each foot
was covered with bunches of black cur?
rants, with their twigs and leaves, most
delicately embroidered in the colored
silks.
Another example of ornamentation lay
close at hand, in the form of a black silk
stocking, round the leg of which a garter
of pink rosebuds and leaves winding up?
ward from the ankle was exquisitely em?
broidered. This last fashion is very
popular just now. Stockings so embroid?
ered are, of course, enormously dear.
Few women can afford to buy many such
expensive articles of dress as these gar?
landed stockings; therefore it becomes a
matter of eager competition among the
leaders of fashion to secure as many
specimens of the latest rage as their
purses will allow. The mania is instill?
ed, and henceforth the woman of the
world takes rank according to her stock?
ings. Garlauds of flowers do not hold
the field alone, it must be observed. In
some cases inscriptions and devices are
embroidered round the legs of the mo?
dern stockings, and rows and patterns
are worked in colored silk stars or spots.
The ground, however, of all this work
must, on no account, be white.?Home

Hotel Life in the City of Mexico.
?Everything in the way of living is
cheap in Mexico. Of course prices range
higher in the capital than elsewhere, but
even there the hotels, for instance, fur?
nish excellent rooms at from $20 to $50
per month. At the Hotel Iturbide the
rooms are very large, aud usually divided
by curtains, so as to make a parlor and a
bedroom. For ?.30 a mouth you can pro?
cure one of these apartments, handsome?
ly furnished and efficiently attended.
The scheme of the hotel extends no
further. Your bath and your meals are
outside affairs. On the ground floor of
the Hotel Iturbide is an excellent French
restaurant aud a very good bath house.
These are separate establishments. The
price of the bath is two reals (twenty
five cents), and at the restaurant two
persons can contract for meals at $7.50
each per week. The Gran Tivoli is ar?
ranged as a park, with lovely grounds,
fountains, streams, and flowers in profu?
sion. The dining places are scattered
about here and there; Chinese pagodas,
Swiss cottages, French chalets in minia?
ture?you choose the retreat which
pleases you the most. It is here that you
find the great tree, on one of whose
branches is a pretty little cabin, to which
you ascend by a spiral stairway, if you
prefer dining so far from mother earth.
I believe it will be conceded by all who
have partaken of the menu of the Gran
Tivoli that a better cooked, better served,
and more elegantly appointed dinner
could hardly be found anywhere in the
world. The cooks are of the finest Paris?
ian schools, the wines genuine, and the
accessories fascinating.?New Orleans
Picayune.
Elevate the Mind.?Raise the mind
to a higher standard, aud to a certain ex?
tent the features are compelled to go
with it. How different are the faces of
even the most stupid under the influence
of pleasurable excitement, or a just and
generous indignation or wrong! you can
scarcely recognize them as the same peo?
ple. Elevation of mind imparts grace
and dignity to form and features ; but of
all sentiments, benevolence to our fellow
men, is one of the best. We defy any
woman to relieve a starving family in
person, or administer sympathy and con?
solation to affliction, and look altogether
ugly. Observe enthusiastic people in
their moments of inspiration?even ar?
dent lovers ol science in their description
of a new discovery, or conjectures regar?
ding a new system, and then turn to some
inanimate regular beauty, who listens to
them as unmoved as a statue, and ask
yourself candidly which is the real
essence of beauty, the form or the expres?
sion.
? Rowell's Newspaper Directory shows
the failure of one thousand newspapers
in this country during the past year, the
loss to publishers, subscribers and adver?
tisers amounting to over eight million j
dollars. Among those who went into the
newspaper business and lost heavily
thereby were 275 merchants and adven?
turers, 315 school teachers, 57 lawyers, 4
blacksmiths, 33 plasterers, 10 farmers,
200 fanatics of various classes aillicted
with literary leanings, 100 ambitious, but
visionary men, who drew upon their fa?
thers and thus suddenly exhausted large
margins of the paternal capital, and 6
lottery men.
? The oMier day a gentleman was
asked if the "Yankees were sincere in
their centennial sentiments?" His re?
ply was: "Just as sincere as the South?
ern people are." Ahem!
MlND and Health.?The mental
condition has far more influence npo>?
?' . - ? : tin icss
rut : .... sorrowful and disagreeable
emotions produce disease in persons who,
uninfluenced by them, would be in sound
health ; or. if disease is not produced,
the functions are disordered. Not even
physicians always consider the impor?
tance of this fact. Agreeable emotions
always set in motion nervous currents
which stimulate blood, brain, and every
part of the system into healthful activi?
ty; while grief, disappointment of feel?
ing, and brooding over present sorrows
or past mistakes depress all the vital
forces. To be physically well one must
in general, be happy. The reverse is not
always true; one may be happy and
cheerful, and yet be a constant sufferer
in body.
? The Boston Herald tells this : "The
day following our centennial festivities,
the following incident occurred in a
South end saloon : A friend had invited
one of the South Carolina soldiers into
the saloon to put another turf on the
hatchet. While standing at the bar, a
stranger came in. The Carolinian sudJJ
denly dropped his glass and closely eyed
the stranger. His gaze was so steady
and peculiar, that the friend began to be
alarmed and to fear that the hatchet was
about to be dug up again. Directly the
Carolinian asked the stranger if he knew
him. There was no recognition ; where?
upon the Carolinian asked him if he was
not in the late war. "Yes," was the re?
ply. "Aud you were onced stationed at
such a place?" "Yes." "And took
part in such a skirmish?" "Yes."?
"Well, I thought so," replied the Caroli?
nian, and raising his hat showed a large
scar on his forehead, saying, "There's
your sabre mark, my boy; come up aud
take a drink."
? The Washington correspondent of |
the Baltimore Sun writes: "It is very
gratifying to record that for the first time
in the long period of the ten years which
have elapsed since the close of the war
those who sit in high places exhibit no
disposition to stir up political feeling
against the South. This is the first Sum?
mer since 1865 that this city has not been
made the headquarters for the dissemina?
tion all over the country of the most
malign slanders upon the Southern peo?
ple. It seems safe to say that this unhap?
py business is at last at an end. The
Southern people must have some feeling
of this kind, for all the intelligence
which comes here from that section re?
presents the aspect of business affairs as
most hopeful."
? It is stated that Barnwell County
has a genuine case of Siamese Twins.
We are informed that a woman in that
county recently gave birth to two chil?
dren who are joined together by a liga?
ture very closely resembling that which
united tho bodies of Chang and Eng.
At last accounts, the twins were alive
and doing "as well as could be expected."
? Why is a pig the most provident of
animals? Because*ho always carries a
spare-rib or two about him.
