BEAUTY OF BINCCBITY.
Right principles, right thoughts, and
right actions are the sum of hun.au life,
and are always the best passport into
good society. Those devoid of the
grace of sincerity, or those who assume
a character to which they are strangers,
are universally looked upon with dis
trust and suspicion. Thereforo it is
that a standard of conduct at once the
most exalted, true to nature, truth, and
sincerity should be considered as the
best recommendation for every man or
woman and child. The existence of
such principles gives power, a' beauty
of speech and action, that gain the good
will of all, so true it is that the heart
instinctively clings to that which it be
lieves sincere, aud where no murky
poison of deceit drugs its cup of sweets.
Thus it is that eacli action should be
the impulse of an innate love and good
will towards those with whom we asso
ciate and not the result of a task im
posed by the usages of polite society.—
To cultivate such motives of action is
surely tho duty of every one. Individ
uals may study the rules of gentility,
may add accomplish
ment, to appear in society to advantage,
but if they lack the charm of sincerity
the most winning address, the most ex
quisite manners, and the most attractive
exterior will hut serve to exhibit the
deformity, tho ugliness that actuates
their every thought aud act. Then be
sincere in all you do and say, if you
would merit respect aud esteem. But,
alas! there are few that observe this
rule. Beauty withiu itself controls all
the chief power of nature when it is
connected with sincerity. Sincerity is
the main standard oY a solemn promise
or obligation, aud when you loose all of
your sincerity of truth, then you are
lost in the estimation of the most intel
lectual portion ot the civilized world.
We cannot expect the ignorant class to
make a siucero promise, because they
do not know the first meaning of the
word sincerity or beauty, or the Beauty
of Sincerity.-- A. S. If.
Gotueu Scheruku's Lira, n Jokk.—
There is an anecdote of Gotlieh Bchce
rer, who, twejve years ago, was an ac
tive Philadelphia, politician, and Vice-
President Dallas, which is hero first
given in print. Some thirty years ago
Mr. Dallas was counsel in a case in
Philadelphia, and Mr. Scheorcr was
called in as a witness. The following j
questions were put by Mr. Dallas:
“Mr. Schcercr, were you in Harris
burg last Jaue
“Last June, did you shy, Mr. Dallas?”
“Yes, last June; don’t repeat my
question, but answer it.”
After some moments of study the ;
answer came: “No, Mr. Dallas, I*Xvas
notin Harrisburg last June.”
“Were you in Harrisburg last July ?”
“He reflected again, and slowly said,
“No, Mr. Dallas, I was not in Harris
burg iu July.”
“Were you there in August, Mr.
Schecrer ?”
Tho witness again mediated, and
said, “No, Mr. Dallas, I was not there j
in August.”
“Were you there in September ?”
Here Mr. Sohcorer reflected longer
than before, aud replied : “No, Mr. I
Dallas, I was not in Harrisburg in Sep- j
tember.”
Mr. Dallas became tired of his barren
result, aud raising his voice, said :
“Mr. Schcercr, will you tell the court
when you were in Harrisburg ?”
“Mr. Dallas,” said Sclioerer, “I never
was in Harrisburg in my life.”
The court, tho audience, and Gotlieh
Schcercr enjoyed the joke, but Mr. Dal
| las did not heartily partake of the tucr
| riment created.

How A Patient was f.o*t--A ease
of Amaurosis.
A foreign scientific periodical relates
this suggestive story :
Home time since a lady called upon a
celebrated oculist in order to consult
him on account ot her eyes, complain
ing that their power of vision had of
late considerably diminished. At a
glance the doctor saw that sne was a
lady of rank and wealth. He looked
at her eyes, shook his head, and thought
the treatment would require much more
time, as there was reason to fear amau
rosis in her ease. He must adviso.bei,
first of all, that as she had informed
him she was residing a considerable
distance iu the country, she must move
into the city at once, and thus enable
him to see her frequently; if possible,
daily. .
The lady then rented au elegant
mansion, moved into the city, and the
physician was punctual in his attend
ance. He prescribed this and that, and
thus days ran into w’ceks and weeks into
months. The cure, however, was still
coming ; the physician tried to console
her.
One day the patient hit upon a curi
ous scheme, and she waited not long to
carry it into effect. She procured for
herself a very old aud poor attire, put a
hood of tremendous size upon her head,
took an old umbrella and a market
basket in her hand, and in these habili
ments she visited her physician, select
ing for the purpose a very rainy day.—
She had so well succeeded in distorting
and disguising herself that (lie eye even
of a lover could scarcely have recogniz
ed her. She was compelled to wait h
long time in the ante-room of her phy
sician, with many others who, like her
self, were seeking relief. At last her
turn came.
“Well, my good woman, what have
you to complain of?”
“Very had eyes, doctor.”
He took her to the light and looked
into her eyes, hut failed io recognize
his patient. Shrugging his shoulders,
lie said:
“Your eyes arc well onough.”
“Well!” she said.
“Y T os; 1 know what I am saying.”
“Hut I have been told that 1 was
getting —a —a —a —l forget how it i>
called.”
“Amaurosis ?”
“Yes; that is it, doctor.”
“Don’t you let them make you be
lieve any such nonsense. Your eyes
arc a little weak, hut that is all. Your
physiciafo is an ;fts !’’
/ ‘An 1”
“Yes; an ass! Tell him boldly that
I say so.”
The lady now arose, and iu her cus
tomary voice said: “Sir, you are my
physician ; do you not know me f
The face the sage counsellor made is
easier to imagine than describe.
“Gracious madam !” he commenced
to stammer an apology; hut tho lady
would not listen to him, and indignant
ly left him. She never saw the gentle
man any more.
Beast Butler, besides keeping poor
Massachusetts in hot water about his
own • gubernatorial aspirations, is said
to be meditating a political canvass of
Mississippi for the purpose of re-elect
ing his carpct-bag-son-in-law Ames to

the wane among the negroes of that
State, and old Ben wants to give them

A EEAFFKOJI THE PAST.
Mrs. Robert E. Leo when Young—Tho
Changes made by Age aud Trouble.
Ex-Senator Foote is contributing to
the Washington Chronicle some very
readable reminiscences of his senatorial
days. From one of his recent articles
wc extract the following reference to
one of Virginia’s greatest and most be
loved matrons —Mrs. Robert E. Lee.
After speaking of Senator Berrien’s
first speech, alluding to the occupants
of the galleries, he says :
‘ Seated near these ladies was one
whom 1 am tempted more particularly
to describe. I allude to the only
daughter of Mrs. Custis, the present
Mrs. Lee. She was then about sixteen
years of age, and was indeed tho ob
served of all observers, lltr personal
charms were such ns must inevitably
have commanded admiration and sym
pathy, independent of the adventitious
advantages which so richly clustered
about her. No one, l am confident,
lias ever behold a more placid and win
ning f.ico than that which was now pre
sented by her gaze. She was richly
and plainly attired, as was her mother,
and there was a modet and reserved
dignity about both of them that signifi
cantly bespoke their rank and bringing
up.
Miss Oust is was described to me by
those wlio knew her best as a young
lady of sound and vigorous intellect,
with judgment and discrimination de
cidedly predominated. Her education
had been iu all respects such as was
best calculated to make her happy her
self, and the source of abundant utility
ntid happiness to others. Those who
had beheld her venerated ancestress,
the wife of Washington, often pointed
out the striking resemblance which they,
supposed themselves to have discerned
between the noblest of American women
and the youthful representative of her
virtues and her blood. Miss Oustis
was the heiress expectant of two of the
largest estates that Virginia could then
boast of, and it is rather a curious and
interesting fact that her uncle, Wni. JI.
Fitzhugh, already spoken of, was one of
the first largo owners of slaves in Vir
ginia who provided for their emancipa
tion by will, and provided liberally for
their future education and support.
I had the honor of forming Mrs.
Lee's personal acquaintance in 1825,
and the various accidents of a vexed
and tumultuous life withheld me from
the enjoyment of a blessing which I
should always have so highly prized un
til the lapse of thirty-seven years had
proved to hotli of us how time steals
on us and steals from us; snatching fire
from the mind and vigor from the limb.
When I met her by accident in Rich
mond one morning in the year 1802, I
found her pale, attenuated, and hob
bling on crutches. She was then the
u
mother of a numerous and worthy off
spring, and the dutiful and loving wife
of one of the most renowned military
commanders of the ago. How tuy heart
sorrowed over the troubles and suffer
ings which I was told she had been com
pelled to enduro as the result of a most
calamitous and wasting war, i:i tho
bringing on of which, perhaps, no two
persons on this broad continent had less
participancy than her noble husband
and herself.”
Hoys and girls, if you wish to aston
ish any member of the family, or any
coming guests, by some day allowing
them to discover their initials neatly
printed on a pear, peach or apple as it
hangs on its branch, this is the way to
carry out your pi au : Just before the
fruit ripens cut the desired letters from
a sheet of thin, tough poper ; then paste
them on the side cf the fruit most ex
posed to the sun, and when in course of
’ time vou remove the paper from the
j rjpe surface you will find the letters
! ritutieetlv parked upon It.
TIC HE MUTE** IA LIFE.
Success in life is not one chance, but
a thousand. The special end toiled for
may not be attained. The steps taken
toward that end will prove of farg-oat
cr consequence. You are a business
man, perhaps, and your ventures have
miscarried one after*nnother, and now
you look sadly back through a long
vista of disappointments and defeat.
But meanwhile you are known to be a
good man and tiue —a kind husband
and father, a loyal citizen and a faith
ful friend—and many a man who has
passed yon in the race for wealth and
fame may look with envy upon tho love
and respect you have gained by your
personal character and service-). Yonr
want of success in business life may he
due to some lack in yourself, or may
result from something adverse in your
surroundings; but remember that, while
your undertakings may fail over again,
you yourself may he a glorious success.
And here we touch upon the true solu
tion of the whole difficulty. We are
miserable and sad over our failures in
life, because we mistakenly identify our
selves with the special object we have
in view. But this is a great mistake.
It is because wc cherish this superficial
philosophy of life which makes this end
supreme and count for nothing the steps
taken toward the end, that wo produce
such shallow and dishonest types of
character at the present day —these
shoddy contractors, flash-in-tbe-pan gen
erals, sensational preachers, and clap
trap politicians.
No. wc have a right to count effort as
well as effect. Not the* result of a
course of conduct, hut the motive and
nature of it, arc the all-important mat
ter. You cannot command success,
whether the means employed he fair
or foul, but it ntHkcs a great deal of
difference to your personal character
and to your fcllowmen what kind of
methods you employ. The consequen
ces of your actious are a great deal
more important than the particular end
they are intended to subserve. A good
end cannot justify had means, for these
have already reacted upon your charac
ter, and by force ot example dctnorilized
others also. But if you fail in manli
ness, courage, and integrity, then all
outward success amounts to nothing.
The man himself is the true end, and so
far as wc fall short of that ideal, wo fail.
Outward plans depend upon a thousand
contingencies, but this inuer triumph
the world can never deprive you of, be
cause tho world never gave it to you. Let
us hear uo more sneers, then, at any
want of temporal success ; no deprecia
tion of patient pains-taking, or laborious
effort. No man fails who docs his duty.
If you are conscious of a rightcouspur
pose and tho use of honest methods, you
have succeeded already, whatever may
bo the result.— Exchange.
A Singllar Case. —On the 15th
day of August, 1860, the dwelling-house
of Geo. Worcester, in the town of Har
vard, was burned, and a man named
Clark Fairbanks, who resided in the
town, and had some difficulty with Mr.
Worcester, was suspected so strongly
of haviti" set the fire that ho was arrest
ed, tried and convicted of arson, being
sentenced October 21, 18G1, to inipris
onment for life in the State Prison. He
was pardoned April 29, 1871, on con
dition that if again convicted of any
crime his first sentence should hold good
against him. In May last, while in
liquor, he quarrelled with a man in
Fitchburg, was prosecuted, convicted
for assult and battery, and sentenced for
one month iu the House of Correction.
At the expiration of the thirty days,
Warden Chamberlyn called for him,
and uuleis again pardoned he will have
to serve a life sentence. Boston Pont.

Norn ino to Do. — We havo heard 1
hundreds complain, within the laif
twelve months, of having “nothing to'
do.” So long as our corn, oats, flour,
bacon, hay, potatoes, onions, fruits,
clothing, farming and other implements,
household comforts—nearly every thing
wo eat, wear or enjoy, is brought from'
a distance, it appears to us there M
much to do.
We wanted a wheelbarrow the other
day and could not find otic for sale, and
yet we found wagons here all the way
from Michigan? We wanted a broom
—it was from Ohio—and yet broom
corn grows as well in Georgia as any
where! Wc wanted a bucket—that
was from the “big Not rid 1 ’ or. enter
prising West ! This country is full of
water power and excelent timber, and
numbers of people complain that they
have “nothing to do.”
•These same parties talk loudly about
“developing our resources,” hut attempt
to do it by becoming agent for a life
insurance company, or something of the
kind ! If they wish to develop our re
sources let them locate astern of a mule
and between substantial plow handles,
or establish shops or manufactories for
the production of the thousand and one*'
articles wc arc forced to import from
abroad. So long as nmnbers of people
are idle and we import every thing we
use, we cannot expect to prosper as wo
should. —A them Watchman.
Jlokkiulk Ml’kdcr. —The Progreu
de Nord, of Belgium, tells a story of
murder so horrible as to seem almost
incredible. It omits to give the name
of the village in Belgium where the af
fair occuired. It appears that a young
girl in service at Brussels had saved a
little fortune of 1,800 francs. Hearing
her mother was ill and required her
care, she left for home by rail, and had
to alight about a leaguo distaut there
from. To reach her destination she
would have had to pass a wood, and
fearing the dangers of the way she re
solved to pass the night at the bouse of
an uncle who lived near by. She
cordingly roused her relatives, and hav
ing told her story and her fears, was
put'into tho room of her female cousin,
who was out at work. While lying
awake she overheard a conversation
which filled her with horror. Her
hosts were planning to murder her for
the money she carried. Thereupon she
leaped from the window and fled, half
naked, until, utterly exhausted, she en
countered two gendarmes. After she
had told them what had happened, they
led her back to the uncle’s house, where
a light was observed in a distant part
of tho garden. The gendarmes ap
proached the spot silently, and iound
that both the uncle and aunt were en
gaged burying a body enwrapt in a
blood-stained cloth. The cloth was
suddenly snatched away, and the jjur-
dorers uttered a common cry of terror.
The victim was tbeir daughter, who,
having conic home late, bad crept up
stairs quietly so as not to alarm her
parents, and had been killed in mistake
for her cousin. The aunt went mad
forthwith, and the uncle stabbed him
self from remorse and dread of the con
sequences of his crime.
There have been a good many vigor-'
ous denunciations of the back-pay swin
dle, but a convention of farmers in Kan
sas has improved ou any of the forms
heretofore noticed. In a concise pre
amble they characterize the swiudle as
“one of the most outrageous steals known*
to the civilized world.”
A ridiculous instance of the way in
which the use of a thing is lost sight of
in the ornament with which it ia over
laid, is exhibited at Washington. In a
! cemetery there, the rules require the
' corpse to be left in.a chapel, and not
deposited in the grave till the funeral,
procession has withdrawn, for fear the
mourners may tread down the grass sod
flowers 1
