If she fancies a young man, she makes what is technically called the first banter. This is done by slyly squeezing the hand, or gentiy touching his foot at the camp fire. Ifaman should venture upon auy cf these little prelimirarics, without be'ng sure of a reciprocal par- tially, the indignant maid would imme- diately assail him with a stick, and this would be the signal for a general assault by all the squaws around on the presum- ing lover, who, unless ho fled, would he beaten without mercy. Thus, even in this rude shape, does woman play the coquette. The young squaw who screams the loudst and shows the most resent- ment at these unwarrantable liberties of an ardent lover, is set down as the Diana of her tribe,” / oe a SS SSS sss Sess sss nes ct ns nn SE | cavght in those waters.

An intimate friend of lis, who highly admired those virtues which he oe ge impossible to imitate. one day asked the bishop if he could — his secret of being always easy Yes,” replied the old man, “TI caa teach my secret with great facility ; it consists of nothing more than a t use of my eyes.” friend begged him to explain him- self. ** Most willingly,”"returned the Bishop; “in whatever state [ am, I first of all look up to heaven, and remember that my principal bnsiness is to get there. I then look down on thgearth, and call to mind how small a°space I shall occupy in it when I come to be interred. I then look abroad on the world, and observe what multitudes there are in all respects more unhappy than myseif. Thus learn where true happiness is placed, where all our cares must end, and how very little reason I have to repine or complain. A Cumio’s Srwpatny.—a child's eyes, those clear wells of undefiled thought— what on earth can be more beautiful! Fall of hope, love, and curiosity, they mect yourown. In praycr how earnest, in joy how sparkling. in sympathy how tender! The man who never tried the —— of a little child, has care- tessly passed by one of the greatest plea- sures of li one passes a rare flower without plucking it or knowing its value. A child cannot understand you, you think ; speak to it of the holy things of religion, of your grief for the loss of a friend, of your love for someone you fear will not love in return ; it will take, it is true, no measure or soundings of thought: it will not judge how much you should believe, whether your gricf is rational in proportion to ycur loss, whether you are worthy or fit to attract the love you seek; but its whole soul will incline to yours, and ingraft itscif, as it were, on the f ing which is your feeling for the hour.— Hon. Mrs. Norton. Apvice to Parents —Be ever gentle to the children God has given to you; watch them constantly, reprove them earnestly, but not in anger. In the forcible language of Scripture, “ Be not itter against them.” * Yes, they are good boys,”’ I once heard a kind father say, “‘L taik to them pretiy much, but I io not like to beat my children—the world wil beat them.” It was a beau- tiful thoupht, theugh not elegantly ex- prassed. Yes, thereis not one chi'd in the circle round the table, healthy and happy as theydock xow,on whose head, if long spared, the sidvm will not beat. Adver- sity may wither them, sickmess fade, a cold worid frown on them; but amid all, ict memory carry them back to a home where 2 law of kindness reigaed, where the mother’s reproving eye was moistened with a tear, and the father frowned “more in sorrow than in anger.” is frequently the icrous ‘ations, in conse- nee of his Honor's reputation for her- culean powers in the re‘ormation of abusss. Some instance, of yesterday may serve as an illustration. One man complained that he ** coulun’t collect a debt.” Another, that his neighbor shook earpets in his yard; another, that his neighbor emptied ashs in his yard. So the mayor was expected to evn tinquent debtor, s' the cffensive car- pet-sbaker, and provide some cumbusti- dle to relieve the discoifi-ed neighbor from the sight of « dious ashes. Most of the aj ts, however, seem sfied with the willing ear ot the mayor, who listens to each tale with the resignation ofa martyr.—N. Y. Sun. s sat > Doesticks thus describes the bash- falman: ‘First call—bell rings, enter bashful young man, evidently Lis first at- tempt at a fashionable visit, came in with his hat inhis hand, put it behind io make his bow, dropped it, tried to pick it up, stepped in it, put his foot through it, fell over it, and ia his frantic strugglo to recover hi f, burst his coat, frac- tured his pavtaloons, untied his cravat, deinolished his shirt collar, and was final- ly borne away to the hall, by his sympa. thizing friend, minus his patent mous- tache, one halfof which was a t-rwarcg found in Laura Matilda's scrap-vook, and the rest discovered in the coal seuttle.’* tr Father Greechi, of at Rome, s the elec the observatory uzgests calling in the aid of sraph in the observation g stars. For instance, a macteor being seen at one observatory, ins formation cf the fact can instantancousiy be flashed to the next beyond, and soon, and then by subseqacnt comparison and calealation, to discover whether they ali saw it at the same instant, and in the same part«fthe sky. ‘ihese and some other points being ascertained, it will be possible to clear up certain doubte that now confuse the question of shooting stars.
