In these latter days of wisdom, when oew books appear faster than snowflakes fa a New England storm, and new authors, roore numerous than stars in an autumn evening, arise in the literary firmament, it has been playfully affirmed that the only distinction consists in being un distinguish °d* If this assertion is true in the world of letters, it jg doubly true in the world of scholars. So common a process has ‘grad uati|"’ rareM become, the that of a college youth who has seen inside would be morewf an anomaly than he who compia* contlwhang* up on wa ]j hi 8 framed re* cord o» virtues and accomplishments, the existent of which might possiUu never have Iren iuspeoted were they not ei bodiedi sible form and disj !othc gaze V ^ ne term foul anted may comprehend much ; or it mxy be “ only great in that strange spell a value.” It may represent months and yearsot earnest labor; inwo¬ ven with pure purposes and noble aims; freighted with high hopes and ever P refl oit ait , in the opting fnlurc. i It may mean — not that the graduate is merely the professor cf certain Ustorical, mathemati cal or scientific facts—it may mean that he is educ :ted. Not eiucatcd in that full sense of the term whiA a life time is in* sufficient to complete, and which can nev* er be perfected but uni«r the tuition of the Great Teacher, but it may mean that the elements of knowledge *re fully mas tered; that habits of vigorous* independent thought have been cultirated; and better than all, it may mean /hat he has attained that moral strength enabling him to take tho highest and purest motives and carry them out to their highest results. Tfc"r<ijs no real antagonism between the terms eUu«at e d and g^duated, although they arc come u be very far from synony mous. The difference ia only like the supposed hostVitj| between England and France, or between England and slavery. No one can atfovjd to rank among the lion ored list of college graduates until he is really, truly educate!; and rarely will any amount of outside*kfowiodge iu Belf-edu- r cated men full; sup/ly the place of thoro college traiuiug.

Old Squire Tompkins was a perfect pic¬ ture of meekness and simplicity, and his stuttering seemed the effect of bashfulness rather than an inherent physical defect. One day a neighbor came to buy a yoke of oxen of him. The price was named and the animals made a satisfactory ap¬ pearance. “ Arc they breaeby ?” asked the buyer. “N-n never troubled me,” was the re* PjXtV***" immmt The other paid the price and took the yoke. In a day or two he came back in a towering passion. “ Confound these critters, ’Squire— there ain’t no jencc that will keep'em! They will break through a stone wall or jump over the moon. What the dickens made you tell me they wasn’t breachy ?” “ I didn’t say no such thing.” “Yes, you did; you said they never troubled you. « Oh, well, neighbor,” said the ’Squire, « I don’t let such a thing as that trouble me » The buyer sloped. *------------- More Truth than.

A Tatl& with the Girls about Blouse-keeping. My dear girls will you listen to a little advice on housekeeping, evenjf it is given by an old woman ? May be you don’t have as many odd thoughts about such things as I had when a child, [t seemed to me there was a great mystory about it, that a knowledge of it was gradually im¬ parted to us as we grew older, without any effort on the part of tho receiver; and, as my childish memory was so poor, I often wondered how it was that our dear mother should always keep a supply of bread just as we wanted it, (and such good bread too!), how she could think to fill the cake jar that we emptied so often, besides mak* iug a great variety of preserves, and other good things that suited our appetites so well. It seemed to argue so much fore thought and knowledge on her part that we often wondered how it would seem to be grown, keep house, and have so much to do, plan out, and think about. I have had to learn life’s lessons step by step, and to wade through its cares and troubles. I advise you to learn as much as possible while you are still under a mother’s eye, so that when you assume the care of a house, it may bc with a perfect knowledge of all its requirements. In these days of personal independence, it is so very difficult to get servants who are really help, that it is very important for the mistress of the houso to know how all its work should be done. In nine ca~ ses out of teu > shc must do herse l f if she wants it properly done. These re sponsibilitics fall with a crushing weight 0 n an iuexpefienced head, while one who h as been accustomed always to attend to such things regards them only in the light 0 f pleasant duties. You will prpbaWy all be housekeepers if you live, audyou must be«iu now, and see how tho plain every day work is done. It all seems very sim* pl e> while your mother, or may be Brid* S et > is doin « k > bat take llold and sCe how you can do it yourself. All the fine theo ries in the world will not perfect you with out practice. You will find tl*u there arc many things that you thiuk y<M know all about, but when yJm try to do them, you will have to ask “ dear mother.” I think there is a two-fold blessing that attends our eai^ efforts to learn, amU^dp others. In ' hc first place lighten the burdens a ] ^* r 9 B *T^crl ia p8 overtasked, and, we acquire knowledge that will b a bene in al. aiier-lii’o.
