Now nought but a little biue mountain divides her From him whose fast-coming she wishes afraid. Her heart, like a virgin coquette’s, gently chides her sioners in so saying. The truth of the matter is this. Of about three hundred and twenty phar- macists to be registered it was necessarily to be expected that some would be strangers to the commissioners. Tobe just to all, it was resolved by the commissioners that every one, young or old, great or small, should be required to sub- scribe to an oath in answer to questions pro- pounded to them as to their claims for registra- tion. To relieve all from the expense of going before a “notary public,” the secretary, Mr. Becker, was, at the solicitation of the commis- sioners of pharmacy, appointed a “notary pub- lic,” and administered to all presenting them- selves. when necessary, the requisite oath with- oui absolutely unrelieved by any felicity of phrase or striking thought, and it seemed as if con- sclousness of the character of his discourse made him more majestic than ever. His port was magnificent. The greatest of orators plead- ing sublimely for his country in the very crisis of her fate could not have had the air of saying momentous and solemn truths more completely than Webster upon this occasion, when he was saying nothing in particular.

Dr. Henshall does not discriminate between them, and we incline to think that the meritsof the big brother with the opencountenance have been underated.

A MYSTERIOS JUNK MAN. ‘There is one eccentric individual who lives in Bouth Washington and has the reputation of building is a little frame structure which looks very insignificant by the side of its more preten- tious neighbor. The building, however, does not rest its claim for distinction upon its looks, and like a great many people—who are born ugly—disdains any such appeals for considera- tion, and relies, with much proud humility, on its achievements. To be perfectly exact in the language of buildings and other such inanimate objects, to achieve is to contain; but it is per- fectly easy to see what this building contains, for it is a long, low structure, with one end opening as a door, and when that i8 flung wide open, as i 8 is during the hot weather, the wayfaring man, though a stranger, can see right through it. As he looks he must wonder, if*he hasn't exhausted himself in wondering about the numerous wonderful things in this capital city, why the authorities should be so them to do so. I would like to see the law en- forced in ali details, but do not feel it my duty to demand its strict enforcement. I beg leave to say that this is neither written nor inspired by a commissioner of pharmacy. A Member or Nat’L COLLEGE OF PHARMACY. oS eS Kentucky Philosophy.

The sun-burned nose Is different in its charac- ter as well as its origin from the nose of the tip- pler or the victim of tight-lacing. Whatever may be its demerits as an object of beauty, it is honestly acquired in the cause of health and good living. It comes from exposure to the fresh air and sunshine, frum rowing boats, sail- ing yachts, catching crabs and bathing in the surf. It tells of expanded chests, joints lim- bered by hearty exercise, and muscles brought into heaithy action by judicious use. It showsa girl not so much devoted to the fascinations of the ball-room as to the delights of active amuse- ment in the open sunlight; not led by blind ad- herence to fashion so much as by a real love for the life which quickens dull circulation into sprightly activity, and which calls forth into vig- orous development the latent power of every muscle. There are women who, when they go to bathe in the surf, cover their faces with queer-looking process of some difficulty. Lay the fern face down upon paper; rub a bit of yellow beeswax over the face of a flat-irun just warm enough to melt it; pass this very quickly over the fern. Of course the wax must be made to cover it. If the iron is too hot, or if the movement is not sufficiently rapid, the fern will adhere to the iron. ——————— . Charles Reade’s True Woman. ‘Walter Besant in The Gentleman's Magazine. Reade, in fact, invented the True Woman. That is to say, he was the first who tound her. There have been plenty of sweet and charming women in stories—the patient, loving Amelia; the bouncing country girl, Sophy Western; the graceful and gracieuses ladies of Scott; the pretty dummies of Dickens; the insipid sweetness of Thackeray; the proper middle class (or upper- class) girl of Trollope; the conventional girl of the better lady novelists. There have also been disagreeable girls, especially the bad-stylo, detestable girl ‘of the ‘worser” lady novelists: but Reade—the trowéere—has found the real woman.

They would almost as soon have their blessed countenances varnished black as bronzed with the sunshine, which brings health and vigor and newness of life. They go to the seaside or mountain and pay majestic hotel bills, but come home at the end of the season looking as pale as snowdrops and as lifeless as hard-boiled eggs. With wide-brimmed straw or palm-leaf hat, the woman who is not afraid of a little sun-burn goes out to row, to swim, to walk the beach, or to climb the mountain. Sensibly dressed and substantially shod, she is not afraid of the wearl- ness which comes from a five-mile walk or an hour’s hearty handling of the oars. She asks not to lounge all day in the shade,for she knows the benefit of the sunlignt. Her holiday is queenly. Her return home is a triumphal pro- cession. Her summer is sunshine. Her au- tumn is good cheer. Her winter is joy. Her whole life is a benediction, such as nothing short of sunshine can bestow. ——-e-___ Prentice Work at a Barber Shop. A Vineland exchange says:—A farmer's son took the place of one of our barber’s apprentices while the latter was on his vacation recently, and as he was green at the business, the head barber only allowed him to rub customers’ heads and comb hair, besides brushing hats and clothes occasionally. A customer with a wig was turned over to the young man to put the finishing touches on, and not at the absolutely best—thing the world has to give; that we are all. born for love—man and woman alike; that to lack this consummate and su- reme blessing is to ‘lose the best part of life. Bince she desires above all things to be wooed, and is forbiddea to woo on her own account, she conceals her own thoughts, yet, from her own experience in hiding, she is quick at read- ing the thoughts of others. She is satisfied with nothing less than’ what she herself gives, which is all heraelf. Her reserve leads her, in the lower natures, to'deceit and falsehood. Her devotion, which is fart of her nature, leads’ this city, who had the misfortune to have one ot his legs shorter than the other. He would never carry a crutch, and his friends often wondered how he could get along se well without one.

Reat- ing on his short leg, be ordered his drink, and while it was being prepared shifted the weight of his body to the long one, thus increasing the height several inches.
