BndVp The False Education of our Daughters. The English nobleman who sends to Paris for his daughter's dresses is reasonably certain that he, and his daughter’s husband after him, can continue sending, and tint in the training ofhis child he is foster ing no habit which can not he tigiit fuily indulged in. The Ameiican knows, it he knows anything, that the habits of luxury in which Ins child is reared unfit her for the du ties of the life to which she will in all likelihood be called—that he can not hope that his family wealth can long survive him, any more lhn that His daughter will love a man to whom that wealth will be unimpor tant. Experience and observation alike tell him that wealth, in this country, rarely continues in a family three generations, aud that at any time he may find himself u poor man again. Yet he regulates Ins life and that of his children as if his wealth and theirs were assured forever, and as though his habits of a 1 fetime were to he broken like wisps of straw. His daughters are not (it to marry any but the rich men they ex perience so much difficulty in find ing, and a man of moderate means is careful to avoid asking them to change their habits of life. There are few sadder pietutes than the one we see when some such woman of braver heart than most of bet sex chooses the portion of a poor man’s love and vainly seeks to adapt her self to a life of which she has lii'her -10 known nothing. The habits of her girlhood bind her like strong fetters, her ignorance of domestic duties weighs Iter to the earth, the loss of social position or the fevered efforts she makes to support it wear out her life in bitter repinings, until her health gives way and she dies, leaving her faults to vex the world in her children, nnd her virtues un discovered save by her husband, who hides from himself all else of memory.— Lijqnncott's Magazine. Useful Amusements, Assuming the necessity of both the social Hnd secular elements, in any attempt to attract and guide the young in the right way for innocent and beneficial diversions and amuse ments, it is obvious to remark that one of the purest and simplest ways of interesting and leading forward the young aright, in this matter, is that of private social parties, in which the old and young, parents and children, girls and boys of suit able age for receiving the common benefit, mingle together for the sole purpose ol friendly intercourse and mutual pleasure and improvement, by conversation, music and such other things, with or without refresh ments, as may be appropriate to a Christian home and lo Christian peo ple. To some excellent persons, the time, labor and expense, slight as each may be, may seem of little im portance, if not a positively culpable waste, but we are persuaded they err in their judgment of the effect of them upon the young, and their use fulness to all. In agricultural dis tricts where the villages are small and the population comparatively sparse, social gatherings as a means of strengthening the ties of home and its virtues, and of filling the young mind with wholesome food for its cravings and the young heart with increasing love of the pure and good can hardly be exaggerated. The time passed in these home “socia bles,” in which friends and neigh- Dora mutually greet and enliven each other, is well spent. In many in- stances it returns an hundred fold in advantages to the growing char acter of the young, and in fresh courage and good cheer to those who are bearing the heavy burdens of the day.-—Ft. Chronicle. A Story cf John Bunyan. j One wet night in August there rode up to the house of Deacon Strudwick, on Snow Hill, a mart of some fifty-nine j'ears, whose clothes were soaking with wet. The greet ing between the two men proved they were old acquaintances, and that a bond of more than ordinary friendship existed between them.— The stranger’s face was that of a man of undaunted resolution, yet there was a dreaminess about the expression of the eye that betoken ed a religious er.thusiust. His hair was iron gray, and there was a cer tain yielding of the ftatne, as of a man who had long passed the prime ofbia days. Since this man did du ty as a soldier at the siege of Lei cester be had passed twelve years ia prison, and the chief product of that imprisonment was the “Pil- f rim's Progress.” It was John lynyan who was the guest of John fctrodwiok. Tbe grral Baptist No. 34 9 preacher was at horn* with the in* dependent deacon. O; the visit on- Ij' one fact is known; everything • else is conjecture. The lifference ;in their religious princip e 8 w jjj hardly occasion surprise who, Bun* van's famous expression is rooem, bered—“l know no sect. 1 au a Christian.” In all probability several dajb elapsed before Bunyan showed symptoms of illness. During that interval he sent a sermon upon a broken heart to be printed at the Hand and Bible, on London Bridge, and irvised a few of the proof sheets himself. But before the whole of the sermon was in type he was laid up with a fever, caught through ri j ding in the rain on the day of his ar | rival in London. The deep concern | which must have beset Strudwick's I household at the illness of their ! guest may be imagined. The dia* j lance from Ilcdcross street was not great, and the first person consulted would probably be George Cokayn. Taken ill at the house of one of Co kayn’s deacons, it is not unreasona ble to snpppose that he was one of the earliest to visit the sick pilgrim, and render what help he coula on sucli an emergency. For ten days Bunyan lingered, waiting “for th* good hour,” when the post should “come from the celestial city." Dur ing this time he conversed with his host and the friends who visited him, upon “sin,” “affliction,” “repent ance and coming to Christ,” “pray* t r,” and kindred topics. Fragments of this conversation were committed to writing by Strudwick, and after ward published. One Hundred Team Ago. One hundred and ten years ago there was not a single white man in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois.— Then what is now the most flourish ing part of America, was as little known as the country around the mysterious mountains of the moora. It was not until 17G7 that Boone left his home in North Carolina to be* come the first settler in Kentucky. The first pioneers of Ohio did not settle until twenty years after this time. A hundred years ago Cana da belonged to France, and the pop ulation did not exceed a million and a half of people. A hundred years ago the great Frederick of Prussia' was performing those grand exploits which have made hitn immortal in military annals, and with hia little monarchy was sustaining a tingle* handed contest with Russia, Austria and France, the three great powers of Europe combined. Washington was a modest Virginia colonel, and the great events in history of the two worlds in which these great but 4ia similar men took leading parts were then scarcely foreshadowed. A hun dred years ago the United States were the most loyal part of the Brit ish Empire, and on the political hor izon no speck indicated the struggle which within a score of years there* after established the great republic of the world. A hundred years ago there were but four newspapers la America! Steam engines bad not been imagined, and railroads and telegraphs had not entered into the remotest conception of men. When we come to look back at it through the vista of history we find that to the century just passed has been al lotted more important events io their bearing upon the happiness of the world than almost any other which has elapsed since the creation.— SanFranciac e Bulletin. Suppress thb Ban.—A lady wri ter prefaces a biographical notice of one of her friends with these perti nent and suggestive remarks: “Would not this world be a bet ter world if the press gave more space to the record of virtue, end less to that of vice? If, instead of police reports, the sayings and do ings of the vicious and depraved, our papers broogbt us accounts of good deedß done, good words spoken, good lives lived, and good hopes of better words ami deeds and lives in the great future, would they not fur nish a better aliment to the soul, while the body is refreshed by die morning and evening meals l I think the answer ‘yes,’ and that we might as w'ell hope to form healthy badws by eating decayed food as healthy souls by feeding on the garbage of crime.” R. W. Durham, a rich Cali krai an, died joking. He begwathad one hundred thousand dollars in the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Asylum-of San Francisco, adding that bo en joyed the consoling reflection that his beneficiaries could not talk about him after death.
