To be the thing we seem :
To do the thing we deem
Enjoined by duty ;
To walk in faith, nor dream
Os questioning God’s scheme
Os truth and beauty ;
Casting self-love aside,
Discarding human pride,
Our hearts to measure :
In humble hope to bide
Each change in fortune’s tide,
At God’s good pleasure ;
To trust although deceived ;
Tell truth, though not believed ;
Falsehood disdaining,
Patient of ills received,
To pardon when aggrieved ;
Passion restraining ;
Witlflove no wrong can chill,
To rave, unwearied still,
The weak from falling ;
This is to do God’s will
On earth—and to fulltill
Our heavenly calling.
[Longman’s Horae Poetieae.
Trullis for Wives.
In domestic happiness, the Avife’s
influence is much greater than her
1 husband’s; for the one’the first cause j
: —mutual love and confidence —being
j granted, the whole comfort of the
[ household depends upon trifles
; more immediately under her juris
diction. By her management of
| small sums, her husband’s respecta-!
biiity and credit arc created or des
troyed. No fortune can stand the
j constant leakages of extraganees and j
mismanagement; and more is spent |
in trifles, than woman would easily j
believe. The one great expense, i
whatever it may he, is turned over
a.id carefully reflected on ere incur- 1
red ; the income is prepared to meet !
it; but it is pennies imperceptibly
sliding away which do the mischief: j
and this the wife alone can stop, for
; she does not come within a man’s 1
province. There is often an unsus
pected trifle to be saved in every |
household. It is not in economy j
| alone that the wife’s attention is so i
necessary, hut in those niceties
which make a well regulated house.
An unfurnished cruetstarul, a miss
ing key, a buttonles shirt, a soiled |
table-cloth a i>.n xx-itK i
old contents sticking hard and brown
about, are severally nothings; but!
each can raise an angry word or
cause discomfort. Depend on it;
there’s a great deal of domestic hap
piness in well-dressed mutton-chop
,or a tidy breakfast-table. Men grow
! sated of beauty, tired of music, are
often too wearied for confersatiou,
(however intellectual;) but they can j
always appreciate a well swept |
hearth and smiling comfort. A wo
man may love her husband devoted
ly —may sacrifice fortune, friends, |
family, country for him—she may
have the genius of a Sappho, the en-:
chanted beauties of an Armida; but
melancholy fact—if with these she ;
fail to make his home comfortable,
his heart will inevitably escape her.
And woman live so entirely in the
affections that without love their
existence is a void. Better submit,
then, to household tasks, however
repugnant they may he to your
tastes, than doom yourself to a love
less home. Woman of a higher or
der of mind will not run this risk;
they know that their feminine, their
domestic, are their first duties.
Auotticr Dead Sea.
A writer in tho Union (Cal.) Dem
ocrat gives a very interesting de
scription of Mono liiiUc, w’hicli has
recently engrossed public attention,
from the fact of the discovery of de
posits of gold in the neighborhood.
He says :
Mono Lake is more literally a
“dead sea” than the sea of Sodom. —
According to Dr. Clarke, that “ sea
swarms wit li tishes, and shells abound
on its shores.” Mono Lake has
neither. The extreme length and
breadth of the Dead Sea, according
i to Merit!, are 75 by 16 miles, giving
1 u superficial area of GUO square miles,
whereas, Mono Lake contains 075
square miles. The river Jordan and
Arnon, and tho brook Kedron, be
sides many rivulets, empty into the
Dead sea.’ Into Mono Lake, Mc
-1 Dane’s River falls from the North,
and Crosby’s lliver from the South,
and three large brooks or creeks fall
into it from the West, besides numer
ous rivulets and springs all around
its borders. But this lake not only
responds to the Greek epithet monos
as being “alone, solitary, deserted,
forsaken,” hut it also answers to the
: same adjective as explained in the
j Spanish as being “pretty, nice, neat.’
The lake takes as many shapes as
! the points differ from which you
view it. From the West side, about
I t cn miles from its Northern limit, it
j appears like a beautiful crescent, its
horns curving delicately around you
on the right and left. From the
North it appears to he nearly circu
lar, like the full moon the islands in
its ’ waters strikingly representing
the clouded spots on that planet. —
From the East it appears to have no
particular shape, hut it stretches off
irregularly among the mountains.
There is little or no echo around
this lake, and indeed it is difficult to
understand a person talking at a lit
tle distance. A dreamy spell-like
spirit seems to pervade’the atmos
phere. The smooth, glassy surface
of the waters; the upheaved, dis
rupted, volcanic mountains surroun
ding the lake, looking down, as it
were, into this abyss of their ejec
tion ; the illusion of vision, and the
1 whitened shores, ‘thickly columned
in many places with vesicular lava,
which looks like monuments erected
to the “mighty dead,” all conspire
to impress the mind with the idea of
a fictitious scene portrayed by the
pencil of an omnipotent hand.
Taking Ahr Popk at nia Word.—A
good story of Montesquieu has been
disinterred for the especial benefit of M.
de Montalembert and his friends. It is
said that when the author of the “Espirt
des Lois” visited Rome, Pope Benedict
XIV wished to mark the fact by some
souvenir, and said to him “I give you
permission to eat meat all life
time, and l extend the same indulgence
to all your family.” Montesquieu was,
of course, intensely obliged at being re
leased from the fasting orders of the
Church, and bade adieu to Ilis Holi
ness with feelings of gratitude. Shortly
afterwards the dispensation was sent to
him, and he was presented with a little

Eastern paper tells a good
anecdote of an opulent widow lady, who
once afforded a queer illustration of that
cold-compound of incompatible3 called
“human nature.” It was a Christmas
Eve of one of those old fashioned winters
which were so cold. The old lady put
on an extra shawl, and as she hugged her
shivering frame, she said to her faithful
negro servant: “It’s a terrible cold
night, Scip. lam afraid my poor neigh
bor, Widow Green, must be suffering.
Take the wheelbarrow, Scip, fill it full
of wood, pile on a good load, and tell
the old woman to keep herself comfort
able. But before you go, Scip, put
some more wood on the fire, and make
me a nice cup of flip.” These last
orders were duly obeyed, and the old
lady was thoroughly warmed, both in
side and out. And now the trusty Scip
was about to depart on his errand of
mercy, when his considerate mistress i
interposed again : “Stop, Scip; you
need not go now. The weather has mod
erated.
Our Sons si net Daughters.

shipwreck of their hopes, when their
sisters become useful, virtuous and re
spected ? There is Mr. , all his
boys are profligates, while his daughters
are patterns of propriety and goodness.”
This remark touches an important sub
ject. Let us reply to the interrogative.
The answer is not very difficult. It is a
clear case.
Sons are early brought into contact
with the world. In their youth they
form companionships in the streets, and
engage in pursuits which bring them into
intimate relation to wicked men. They
meet temptations of society everywhere.
All the vices of men appear from time
to time, and all the coarser pleasures of
life, to lure and destroy them. To these
they yield and go to ruin.
It is not so with daughters. They
are within doors at home most of the
time. A different class of employments
occupies their time and thoughts, and
they live under a mother’s watchful eye
from year to year. Among the large
number of girls who are cast houseless
into the streets of our populous cities, a,
few, only, come out of the severe ordeal
as gold tried in the fire. It is doubt
ful if there would be more sons than
daughters ruined, if both were equally
exposed to the temptations of ‘the
world.
Here, then, is the difference. The
watchful care and blessed influence of
home saves the girls, while many hoys i
are destroyed. The fact should deeply
impress our hearts with two truths :
First, there is great power in the allure- j
ments of the world. llow many bright,
intelligent, beloved young men are ruin- j
every year by these appeals to their
social nature! Second, the restraints
and influence of home are indispensable
to preserve the characters of the young
unsullied. Home—home—there is noth
ing like it, if it he a home of the right
stamp, to make sons and daughters what
they ought to be—happy home.

manner in which she would improvise
her prosaics into poetry —sometimes for
five, then ten, and one time for fifteen
minutes she discoursed in rhymes that
would have done credit to Dante or

An Overruling; Pro vidence.
Father Beauregard* had just preached in
one of the churches of the capital his beauti
ful sermon upon Providence, which, like
all his other sermons, had drawn together a
considerable crowd of auditors. Upon re
turning borne, he had just disrobed himself
in order to rest after his extreme fatigue,
when a slranfljor was announced, desirous to
see him. Taking time only to change his
dress, he at once presented himself to the
unknown visitor, whose manners and ap
pearance denoted him to he an artisan.
“ What do you wish, sir f” said the vener
able preacher.
“To>speak with you a moment,” replied
the stranger in a manner so agitated as at
once to arrest the attention of Father Beaure
gard.
“Most willingly,” said the preacher. “I
am ready to listen. Sit down.”
“I havejust heard your sermon,” said the
artisan.
“Wei, lam glad of it, for I have said
some things which should not be lost UDon
either of us.”
“Oh ! sir, you had certainly spoken beau
tifully. Nobody could have done better.—
You have extolled the benefits of an over
ruling Providence. But, sir, I do not be
lieve in Providence. There is no f’roviden
ce for me. Wait a minute, and judge for
yourself. I am a carpenter by trade. I
have a wife and three childred. We are
honest working people who never wronged
any one. Inquire about me in my neigh
borhood, and everybody will tell you that N.
is an honest man, getting his living by the
sweat of his brow; that he pays his d%hts ;
that he does not drink; that he does not
play; and that he takes good care of his
family.
“I can easily believe all this, my friend,
interrupted Father Beauregard,” much
touched by the heartfelt words of his visitor,
“but to what does all this lead, and what
connection is there between these details
and your unbelief in Providence?”
“You shall hear ; you see before you a
man resolved to throw himself into the
river.”
“Good heavens!” cried Father Beaure
gard, justly alarmed at this acknowledge
ment. “God preserve your fato from such
a fatal step? You not only kill the body,
hut you peril the salvation of your soul.
What has given rise to such a dreadful
thought.
“Bir, I havejust mot with a heavy loss by
the failure of a debtor. I have liabilities
| which become due on the 30th of this month,
and I cannot meet them. It will be the first
time my signature has been dishonored, and
1 cannot hear the idea of this disgrace. It
is after having in vain solicited assistance
from my friends, who would be glad to help
me if they could, that I determined to drown
myself.”
“But, my friend, what will become of
j your wife, who loves you, your children who
| need you, if you drown yourself?” The
poor man's tears answered to these interro
puuse. “When lam dead the world will
take pity on them ; I cannot live to sec them
dishonored, to sec them bear the burden of
my shame.” •
j “How was it, with such a frightful plan
as this in contemplation, you came to hear
me preach ?”
“It was only by chance, sir; I had no in
tention of doing so. I was in the neighbor
hood of the church and noticed the crowd
entering; mechanically, as it were, I went
in with the rest; I asked who was going to
preach ; they told me a celebrated priest. 1
[ remained, and heard you through; all you
! said was very good, very fine, but I was
still in the dark. 1 could see no providence
! for me.”
“What, to hear my sermon, to come and
! see me, to confine in me, and yet in all
this you do not recognize a providence ?”
For a moment the man was silent, and
then replied: “It is strange, sir, very
strange, still I sec no way for me to pay my
debts.”
During this interview, the heart ol the
! good priest was deeply moved ; ha hud heard
j the unhappy man’s story, whose manners
■ a nd language sufficiently attested its vera
i city. Without further investigation, he
resolved at once to act in his behalf.
“Listen, my friend,” said he to him. “I
believe you to be an honest man, unfortun
ate through the agency of others, and I wish
to help you out of your trouble. How much
money will cover your debts ? 1 am not
rich, still 1 can contribute something to
wards making up the sum.”
“Oh ! sir, you are too good! Less than
three thousand francs will suffice me.”
Father Beauregard rose, opened his secre-
tary, and taking therefrom a hundred louis,
returned to the poor artisan, and said : “My
friend, here are a hundred louis. I should
not have been able to have done this myself,
but a few days since the princess Clotilde,
after having heard me preach on Charity,
sent me a large sum of money, begging me
to use it for the benefit of the unfortunate,
and to distribute it to any, whom I should
judge worthy of assistance. It has already
done much good, softened the ills of many;
but. my frieud, your visit here, at this critical
juncture of affairs, is, in my view, a stream
1 of light, upon the ways of God to man.— ■
Take this money, nay your debts, and believe
in an overruling Providence.”
Full of surprise, and overwhelming grati
tude, the poor carpenter fell ou his knees,
at the feet of the good father ; he could not
speak a word, but raising his streaming eyes
to heaven in a language more powerful than
words, expressed the joy of his deliverance.

Why a Livonia School-Teacherlosther
Situation.
HABITUAL APPARATION OF A LIVING PERSON
There existed, in the year 1845, and
is still continued, in the Livonia, about
thirty-six miles from Riga, and a mile
and a half from the small town of Wol
mar, an institution of high repute for
the education of young ladies, entitled
the Pensionant of Neuwelcke. It is un
der the superintendence of Moravian di
rectors, of whom the principal, at the
time of the occurrence about to be re
lated, was named Bunch.
There were, in that year, forty-two
young ladies residing there as hoarders,
chiefly daughters of noble Livonian fam
ilies; among them, Middle Julie, second
daughter of the Baron de Gaildenstubbe,
then thirteen years of age.
In this institution one of the female
teachers at that time was Mademoiselle
Emelie Sagee, a French lady from Dijon.
She was of the Northern type — a blonde
with very fair complexion, light blue
eyes, chesnut hair, slightly above the
middle size, and of slender figure. In
character she was amiable, and good
tempered, not at all given to anger or
impatience, but of an anxious disposition,
and, as to her physical temperament,
somewhat nervously exciteable. Her
health was usually good, and during the
year and a half that she lived as & teach
er at Neuwelcke, she had but one or two
slight indispositions. She was intelli
gent and accomplished, and the directors
during the entire period of her stay,
were perfectly satisfied with her con
duct, her industry, and her acquaintance.
She was at that time thirty-two years of
age.
A few weeks after Mademoiselle
Sagee first arrived, singular reports be
gan to circulate among the pupils. When
some casual inquiry happened to be
made as to where she was, one young la
dy would reply, that she had seen her in
such or such a room ; whereupon anoth
er would say, “ Oh, no ! she can’t be
tliere; for I have just met her on the
stairway, or perhaps in some distant cor
ridor.” At first they would naturally
S’lDDOse it mere
they began to think it very odd, and fin
ally spoke to the other governesses about
it. Whether the teachers at that time
could have furnished an explanation or
not, they gave none ; they merely told
the young ladies it was all fancy and
nonsense, and bade them pay no atten
tion to it.
But, after a time, things much more
extraordinary, and which could not be
set down to imagination or mistake, be
gan to occur. One day the governess
was giving a lesson to a class of thirteen
of whom Madesmoiselle de Guldenstub
be was one, and was demonstrating,
with eagerness,some proposition, to il
lustrate which she had occasion to write
with chalk on a blackboard. While
she was doing so, and the young ladies
were looking at her, to their consterna
tion they suddenly saw two Mademois
elle Sagees, the one by the side of the
other. They were exactly alike; and
they used the same gestures only that
the real person held a bit of chalk in her
hand, and did actually write, while the
doubtful had no chalk v and only imitated
the motion.
This incident naturally caused a great
sensation in the establishment. It was
ascertained on inquiry, that every one
of the thirteen young ladies in the class
had seen the second figure, and that they
all agreed in their description of its ap-
pearance and of its motions.
Soon after, one of the pupils, a Made
moiselle Antiona de Wrangel, having
obtained permission, with some others,
to attend a fete champetre in the neigh
borhood, and being engaged in complet
ing her toilet, Mademoiselle Sagee had
good naturedly volunteered her aid, and
was hooking her dress behind. The
young lady happening to turn round and
to look into an adjacent mirror, perceiv
ed two Mademoiselle Sagees hooking her
dress. The sudden apparitiou produced
so much effect on her that she fainted.
Months passed by, and similar phe
nomena were still repeated. Some
times, at diruier, the double appeared
standing benind the teacher's chair and
imitating her motions as she ate—only
that its hands held no knife and fork,
! and that there was no appearance of
food ; the figure alone was repeated. All
the pupils and the servants waiting on
the table witnessed this.
It was only occasionally, however,
that the double appeared to imitate the
motions of the real persons. Sometimes,
when the latter rose from a chair, the
figure would appear seated on it. On
one occasion, Mademoiselle Sagee being
confined to bed with an attack of influ
enza, the young lady already mentioned,
Mademoiselle de Wrangel, was sitting
by her bedside, reading to her. Sud
denly the governess became stiff and
pale, and seeming as if about to faint,
the young lady, alarmed, asked if she
was worse. She replied that she was
not, but in a very feeble and languid
voice. A few seconds afterwards, Mad
emoiselle de Wrangel, happening to
look round, saw, quite distinctly, the
figure of the governess walking up and
down the apartment. This time the
young lady had sufticent self control to
remain quiet, and even to make no re
mark to the patient. Soon afterward
she came down stairs, looking very pale,
and related what she had witnessed.
But the most remarkable example of
this seeming independent action, of the
two figures happened in this wise.
One day all the young ladies of the
institution, to the number of forty>-two,
were assembled in the same room, en
gaged in embroidery. It was a spacious
hall on the first floor of the principal
NUMBER 43*
building, and had four large windows,
or rather glass doors, (for they opened
to the floor,) giving entrance to a gar
den of some extent in front cf the house.
There was a long table in the centre of
the room; and here it was that various
classes were wont to unite for needle
work or similar occupation.
On this occasion the young ladies
were all seated at the table in question,
when they could readily see what pass
ed in the garden ; and while engaged at
their work, they had noticed Made
moiselle Sagee there, not far from
the house, gathering flowers, of which
she was very fond. At the head of the
table, seated in an arm-chair, (of green
morocco, my informant says, she still
distinctly recollects that it was,) sat an
other teacher, in charge of the pupils.—
After a time this lady had occasion to
leave the room, and the arm-chair was
left vacant; It remained so, however,
for a short time only; for of a sudden
there appeared seated in it the figure of
Mademoiselle Sagee. The young ladies
immediately looked into the garden, and
she still was, engaged as before ; only
they remarked that she moved very slow
ly and languidly, as a drowsy or ex*
hausted person might.
Again they looked at the arm-chair,
and there she sat, silent, and without
motion, but to the sight so palpably real
that, had they not seen her outside in
the garden, and had they not known
that she appeared in the chair without
having walked into the room, they would
all have supposed that it was the lady
herself. As it was, being quite certain
that it wa3 not a real person, and having
become, to a certain extent, familiar
with this strange phenomenon, two of
the boldest approached and tried to
touch the figure. They averred that
they did feel a slight resistance, which
they likened to that which a fabric of
fine muslin or crash would offer to the
touch. One of the two then passed close
in front of the arm-chair, and actually
through a portion of the figure. The ap
pearance, however, remained, after she
had done so, for some time longer, still
seated, as before. At last it gradually
disappeared, and then it was observed
that Mademoiselle Sagee resumed, with
all her usual activity, her task of flower
gathering. Every one of forty-two pu
pils saw the same figure in the same
j way. .
j asked Mademoiselle oagee u mere was
anything peculiar in her feeling on this
occasion. She replied that she recollect
ed this only ; that, happening look
up, and perceiving the teacher’s arm
chair to be vacant, she had thought; to
herself,, “1 wish she had not gone away;
these girls will be sure to be idling their
time and getting into some mischief.”
This phenomenon continued, under
various modifications, throughout the
whole time that Mademoiselle Sagee re
tained her situation at Neuwelcke ; that
is throughout a portion of the year 1845
1846; and, in all, for about a year and
a half; at intervals, however,'sometimes
intermitting for a week, sometimes for
several weeks at a time. It seemed chief
ly to present itself on occasions when
the lady was very earnest or eager in
what she was about. It was uniformly
remarked that the more distinct and ma
terial to the sight the double was, the
more stiff and languid was the living
person ; and in proportion as the dou
ble faded did the real individual resume
her powers.
She herself, however, was totally un
conscious of the phenomenon : she had
first become aware of it only from the
report of others; and she usually detect
ed it by the looks of the persons pres
ent. She never, herself, saw the ap
pearance, nor seemed to notice the spe-
cies of rigid apathy which crept over her
at the time it was seen by others..
During the eighteen months through
out which my informant had an oppor
tunity of witnessing this phenomenon,
and of hearing of it through others, no
example came to her knowledge of the
appearance of the figure at any conskk
erable distance—as of several miles—
from the real person. Sometimes it ap
peared, but not far off, during their
walks in the neighborhood; more fre
quently, however, within doors. Every
servant in the house had seen it. It was
appearently, perceptible to all persona,
without distinction of age or sex.
It will be readily supposed that so ex
traordinary a phenomenon could not
continue to show itself for more than a
year, in such an institution, without
injury to its prosperity. In point of fact,
as soon as it was completely proved, by
the double appearance of Mademoiselle
Sagee before the class, and afterward
before the whole school, and there was
no imagination in the case, the matter
began to reach the ears of the parents.
Some of the more timid among the
girls also became much excited,and evinc
ed great alarm whenever they happened
to witness so strange and explicable a
thing. The natural result that their par- •
ents began to scruple about leaving them
under such an influence. One after an
other, as they went home for the holi
days, failed to return ; and though the
true reason was not assigned to the di
rectors, they knew it well. Being strict
ly upright and conscientious men, how
ever, and very unwilling that a well con
ducted, diligent and competent teacher
should lose her position on account of a
peculiarity that was entirely beyond her
control—a misfortune, not a fault —they
persevered in retaining her, until, at the
end of eighteen months, the number of
pupils had decreased from forty-two to
tw’elve. It then became apparent that
either the teacher or the institute must
be sacrificed; and, with much reluctance
and many expressions of regret on the
part of those to whom her amiable qual
ities had endeared her, Mademoiselle Sa
gee was dismissed.
The poor girl was in despair. “ Ah,”
Mademoiselle de Guldenstubbe heard
her exclaim, soon after the decision
