Then the azure eyes grewdithmer, Lower sank the curly head, With a smile that was angelic, And (he budding rose was dead. Gossip. One-half of the evil-speaking of the world arises, not from nut/ice jirepens?; hut from mere want of amusement. And we may even grant that in the oilier halt", constituted small of mind or selfish in disposition, it is seldom worse than the natural falling back from largo abstract interests, which they cannot under.-land, upon those which they can?alas! only tho nar row, commonplace, and personal. Yet they mean no harm; are ofteu undo;- the delusion that they bath mean and do apical deal ol good, take a benevolent watch over their fellow creatures, ami so forth. They would not say an untrue word, or do tin unkind action?not they! The most barefaced slanderer always tells her story with a good motive, or thin'/.S- the docs; begins with u harm less "bit of gossip," just to pass the time away? :lie time which hangs so heavy ! ami ends by becoming the most arrant ami mischievous tale bearer under the sun. Men, whose habits of ihchght and action arc at once more selfish ami less personal than women's, are very seldom given to gossiping. They will sake a vast interest in the inisgovcrn mcht of the country, or tho ill cook ing of their own dinners; but, any topic b twixt these two?sueh as the mismanagement of their neighbor's house, or the extravagance of their partner's; wi e?is a matter of very minor ^importance. They ' cauna he fashed" with trifles that don't im mediately concern themselves. It is the women?always the women?who poke about with undefended farthing candles in t he choke-damp passages of this dangerous world; who put their feeble, ignorant hands to the Archi medean lever that, slight as it seems, can shake society to its lowest founda tions. i Mm lie willfully, deliberately, on principle, as it were; hut women quite involuntarily*. Nay, they would start with horror from the hare thought of suuli a thing. They love truth in their hearts, and yet?and yet?they are constantly giving to things u slight coloring east, by their own' individuality; twisting facts a little, a very little, according as their tastes, a flections, or convenience indicate; never, perhaps, telling a dir ect lie, but merely a deformed or prcv ?i icateil truth. And this makes the fatal danger of gossip. If all people spoke the absolute lruth about their neighbors, or held their tongues, which is always a possible alternative, it would not so much matter. At the worst, there would be a few periodical social thunderstorms, ami then the air would bo clear. J3ut the generality of people do not speak the truth. They speak what they sec, or think, or be lieve, or wish. Few ohiurvant char acters can have lived long in the [world without learning to receive every fact communicated scond hand with reservation*?reservations that do not necessarily stamp the communi cator as a liar, but merely make al lowance for certain inevitable vuria tions, like the variations of tho com pass, which every circumnavigator must calculate upon as a natural necessity. ? mm? > urn ?

A Fisherman's Wedding; Along a certain portion of tho coast of Scotland,., when a young couple agree to get married, the nearest rela tions of both parties meet to i'aiify the contract. This is an occurrence of great rejoicing. Tho women ap pear in full toilet, and a sort of least is-Uropa red. The marriage ceremony is usually performed by the clergy man of the dieltict at the residence of the, bride. After the religious rites arc concluded, a contract is signed by both parties amidst a cloud of wit nesses. Tlio bridegroom wears his Sunday suit, and the lady is adorned with the conventional veil. The marriages of these people lake place, almost without exception, on [ Kriday, and the celebrations att end ing the event continue until the dawn of the Sabbath puts an end to further I hilarity. On the first night of tho dancing the women are attired in white musUn gowns, with their necks I and arms exposed, the latter adorned with any quantity of glass beads and I ornaments. Tue nun are in their shirt sleeves, with gorgeous blue waists, ornamented with brass buttons, and wearing every qtiriofy of hat and cap. Their throats arc mufiled with enormous neck-handkerchiefs, which they persist in wearing in spite of the heat. Who the entire night lias been passed in dancing, ami daylight ap pears, a rush is made through the town to the future home of the newly married couple. The musician, tirnied with I.is fiddle or bagpipe, as the case ma)' be, leads the procession, the bride and groom come next, ami the rest of the party follow on behind. Scni'and abound.-; in singular mar riage customs. (>ne of the most re markablcis called '?creeling the bride groom." In some counties on the day after the wedding, while the marriage feast still continues, the bridegroom had a breol, or basket, filled with stones firmly fastened upon Iiis back. With this iiicumbranco he was com pelled to run about the neighborhood followed by hw friends, who would not allow him to remove it until his wi e came after him mid either kissfcu him or u?fastened the creel. It some limes happened that, as relief depend ed upon her, he bad not to run very far; hilt if the lady was either very bashful or very sportive he had to carry his load a considerable distance. The custom was very strictly enforced, for the friends who was last creeled hail charge of the ceremony, and he was mil in all)-* anxious that the new bridegroom should not escape. It Was He. A man forty yours old, and us long as a rail, went into one of the hanks of Detroit to get the cash on a thirteeh-dollar cheek, drawn by u panty living in Nankin township. "You will have to be identified,'' said the cashier, as he looked at the check. "Tin the man," was the tcply. "Jlnt 1 don't know who you are." "UuL 1 do." "You must bring .some one here who knows you." "Don't 1 know myself?" exclaimed the check tenderer; ?*lint I must know you. You may be Tom Jones for all that 1 know." "You must be a consumed find to think I'm some one else ?" growled the I man in response. "You in list be identified," observed the cashier. "That's my name, I tell ye, and this is me, and if this bank gels me riled I'll lick the whole crowd of you over behind the railing !" The cluishicr wouldn't pay, and the man couldn't find any one w ho knew him, and at noon he was waiting "for the Idler who sas.xd him to come out." How much butler it is to always pay your bills promptly, Tradesmen do not like to call "for that little account" any more than their custom ers like to be dunned, and it is far I better to pay them without the necessity of a hint from them. Modest Ways. ji ? Nothing bcctfme? a young girl so well na modest \vnys. It is so.tiiortily ing to mothers to know that their daughter? net rude!}' when away from home. They wonder at it. 'J'Iioy uro iuuiilly good enough and lady-like at home; hut the moment they are out of their sight, on* the street or on the way to elturch, and perhaps in church, even, loud laughing and tulkiiigjic comc the ride. Docs it ever occur to those mothers -to give their girls a gentle warning? on leaving the par ental root',' as ? to their manners and \va ys v Hiiys one : ''I do not like to be al ways .scoldingi I talk to my daugh ters once in a while, and I expect that to suffice*' But mother, if you had a choice plant, o ypbng trco that you wished to bring to perfection, would you expect it to become perfect with only an ^occasional trimming? No?you would be apt to watch it with great care, trimming it a little, every week oj- every day, to see that ii o unruly branches put fut'lli to intu its beaaty. So it is with youth ; little by little is the character formed that, is to govern tl)c after life. I do not believe in a rough-and ready scolding. .Scolding, as u rule, has not much force. If one has to irivo a stern rebuke, let it be in as few words as possible. Yet I think, if parents take ssccond thought, that a mild reproof in most cases would ans wi-t best. Young people just coming to maturity have naturally free and impulsive, ways. One can excuse rudeness in boys, for it seems a natur al prerogative'- of their nature, but a wild, romping or bold girl is a con ti nun] source., of anxiety to a mother and genor.?lf-#distasteful to society; hence, mothers cannot be too careful of the manners of their daughters. Just Wait.?"Young ladies have the privilege of saying anything they please during leap year," she said, eye ing hi in out of the corner of her eye with a sweet look. His heart gave a great bound, nnd w hile he wondered if she was going to ask the question he bad so long desr ed and feared to do, answered : "Yes." "And the young nien must not re fuse," said site. "No, no. How could they?" sighed he. "Well, then," said she, "will you*'? lie fell on his knees, and said "Anything you ask, darling." "Wait till I get through. Will you take a walk, sind not conic here so much ?" Iilncss prevented Miss Adelaide Xcilsou from appearing at a London theater the other evening, and with much fear ami trembling the manager permitted a young American girl, just finishing her studies for the stage, to take her part* .She did it so well that the Londoners like her nearly ns well as Ncilson. An old lady living in Saugerltes, N. Y., while suffering from a severe headache, fell asleep with a bot tie of | smelling salts in her baud. In the morning she awoke with a blister on her thumb, which hail covered the mouth of the bottle. In a .short time inflammation arose, gangrene set in, and death followed. A safe deposit vault just completed in London is deemed invulnerable. It. is sunk forty-six feet in the ground, with walls of brick ami concrete six feet thick. Inside this structure is the safe, three feet thick, made of ftr0 brick and undrillublo iron. The metal doors weigh four tons each, und are swung by hydraulic powor. A Western paper announces tho illness of its editor, piously adding. "All good paying subscribers arc requested to mention him in their prayers.

Mr. Jones.? Very well, indeed. What have you got to-day that's good ? Butcher.?I've got some turkeys, sir, but they're only middling, and if you'll wait till Saturday I can gel you something real nice, and at a low figure. Mr. Jones.?"What are you asking for steaks and roasts to-day? Butcher.?Steaks, twenty-five cents; roasts, twenty-two cents. Mr. Jones.?All right; send me the same as last Saturday?ten pounds. (Takes out his poekctbook and pays the money, having thus saved not less than one-fourth of Smith's money.) ? - -- mm ??? A well known Paris dentist, resid ing in the fashionable quarter, Has been arres cd, and is in Mazas prison, accused of having for years past, while drawing and cleaning teeth, introduced slow poison into rich patients' mouths at the instigation o! their heirs, and thus committed many murders. Two hundred witnesses are said to be subpoenaed. The foreign missionary work by Protest a lit Christians issummcrixed us follows: Therea roll ,559 stations, 2,132 missionaries, and 1,537,07-1 native converts. The annual expense is over $5,500.000. Great Britain is doing more than half the work, the United States about a quarter, Ger many stands next, and other countries are accredited with very little. In Philadelphia seven schools have enrolled nearly two thousand boys in .societies for the protection of animals. They have badges and banners, are trained to march to the sound of military music, and have annual meetings at the music hall. We've suspected lor some time past that measures would have to be taken to check the alarmingly rapid growth of the Smith family.
