“I am from Virginia sir,” politely an-!

“Yes sir, old Virginia,’' was the reply.
“You are poo y high up in the pic

“I don’t know what you mean by that
remark, Hir.”
“Oh nnthin,” says the sucker, "but
that you are desperate rich, and have

“If the information will gratify yon,
in any way," says the gent, patronizing- J

"Oh, in course ” answered the sucker, :
“Well strung! r, bcin as you belong to

Why Oi-aiM.iN Woukv Maks Good:
Wives.—Tli • culiiia v irt forms a part
of the edneal i"tt of women in Germany.
The well to do tradesman like the me
chanic takes pride iu seeing bis daugh
ters good house keepers. To effect this
object, the girl on leaving sell- oi which
she does vviu-n about fourteen years of
age goes through the ceri-n of con
tinuation and then is placed by her pa
rents with a country gentleman or in a
huge family when- she remains one or
iwo years tilling wlial may aim ist be
|t' l- ii'-d the post of a sc- vast and doing
*h work of one. This is .nuked upon as
; »'• ‘iiprhinieeshi i t- and ee nniuy.
' She itw,.,. s a servant however in
tics she iives no wages, on the con
j trary her often nay for the care
' tak'-u of h"|-, as w , u as hi ■ «l,tilling.
This is the first step in her edueation
as a House-keeper. She next passes, on
the same Conditions into the kitchen of a
rich private family or into that of a hotel
of good repute. There she has control
ot the expenditures and of the servants
employed in it. and assists personally m
the cooking- but is always addressed as
“fraulieu,” or Miss and iu treated by the
family with deference and consideration.
Many daughters of rich families receive
the same training with this and fference,
howuvhever, that they receive it in a
princely mansion or a royal residence,
There is a reigning Queen in German
! at the present raiment who was trained
;in this way. Consequently the women
in Germany are perfect mod’ Is us ccono
j my.
Accommodating Himself to Circumstan
ces.—The Ric'limond correspondent of
the Danville Register tells the following
about General “Alleghany” Johnston, on
the march to Bristoe Station, in the fall
of |B"3 The General was riding along
the road, and perceiving one of his men
up a persimmon tree, halloed out t him:
“I say, there, what are you doing up
there? Why ain’t you with your rigi
ment?”
“I’m gettin’ simone, I am,” replied the
soldier.
“Persimmons, thunder! They are not
ripe yet. They are not fit to eat ”
‘Y s, tmt General,” persisted the Con
fed., I'm trying to draw my stomach up
to stfitthe size o the rations. It it stays
like it is now I shall starve”
The General had nothing further t<>
say, but Code on.

Should she he called out of it, to organize

Spoony llutler made a speech at New-
I urypnrt, Muss., on Monday night last in
wliieil h reiterated his charges against
the President, and ridiculed the idea that
the impeachment mid trial of the Presi
dent would produce anarchy and civil
war. The Senate he remarked could call

would In' promptly answered. -Vo nr re
disturbance wmiid he created than would
arise from the trial of a drunken tailor
by a police judge, lie charged the I’res
de.it with a design to usurp kingly pow
er and pointed to his denunciation of
Congress as an example of what is al
ways the precursor of such usurpation.
Alluding to the Constitutional Amend

speedily to avoid the imposition ot ranch I
harder terms.

\ capital story Is oH **f a young fid
low who on Sunday strolled into a vil
lage church, and during the service was
electrified and gratified by the sparkling
' eyes wd.icli were rivitefl upon his fare.
After the service, he saw the p, ssnssor
■of the shining orlis leave the church
alone, and emboldened by her glances,
I lie ventured to follow her, his heart ach
ing with rapture, lie saw her look be
hind, and fineicd she evinced Home emo
tion at recognizing him. He then quick
ened his pace, and she actually slacken
ed hers, as if to let him come up with
her—lint we will let Hie young gentle-
man to tell the rest in Ids own way:
"Noble young creature!” thought I.
"her artless and warm heart is superior
to the bond <>l custom.’
I had ;cached within a stone’s throw
„f her. She sudd nly halted and turned
her face toward me. My heart swelled
to bursting. 1 readied the spot where
she slooj; she began to speak, and I took
otfmy hat as if doing reverence to an
tinge'.
"Are von a peddler?”
"No, lay uo.tr g rl; that is not m.V ou
cupatnm.
“Well. 1 don’t know,” continued Khc. j
not very bashfully, ml eyeing mu vurv
sternly: "I thought when 1 saw yon in j
the meetin house that you looked like a
peddlar who passed off a pewter half;
dollar on me i hree weeks ago, and so lj
determined to keep an eye on yon. Broth-i

Pride. —Well tempered pride is the
best teeiing of our nature. It is as tar
, from vanity as the antipodes. The one
conccntr tes our powers and collects us
in ul]r n/ii strength like a colossus, the
; other dissipates itself in catching the
: gaze of others, and throws out its seduc-
ing tricks like the flimsy threads of the,
venomous spiders. A truly proud man I
i never will he mean. A vain man is es- 1
; seutially mean. A proud man moves
| through life erect in his own worth, lie 1
j is like a stately ship, Fitting its broad
; sails before a fair wind, and steadily
plough'll! ; its way to its destined haven,
or stemming unwreeked and unbroken
the adverse tempest. The vain man
j creeps and flatlets—now a cartcrpiliar
; in the dirt, and then a painted niotli
I humming arotinJ. the light to show otfits
own pi'ettmess, burning himself in a
I flame too intense for nis puny being, and
! finally dying in the steuc i of ins own
| worthlessness.
