To judge your purpose by your speed, It must be something great indeed ; : Tis surely not a rash surmise ■ That life-etemal is your prize : No meaner aim. methinks, eouh 1 you With ardor such as this pursue. And yet alas ! if truth were told, The most of you are after gold ! [From tlie Sunny South ?] BEAUTY? BY HOUSTOXIA. A group of girls were gathered on the long flight of stairs leading into the college building. Among them and restingjuxuriously in the arms of the fairest, was a child of five years, whose artless prattle was their present enter tainment. ■ “Youare so pretty —so pretty!” he said, with charming candor, touchiug softly the rosy cheek bent over him, and gazing into her merry, dark eyes with ail expression that emphasized his words. “I had rather be pretty than anything.” “Rather be pretty than good and in telligent ?” she asked, blushing with pleasure. “Oh! yes; if you arc pretty you needn't be good. You can make every one love you.” “Do you hear that Carrie ?” called saucily out from the lowest step a bright little brunette, with the air of one throw ing down tlie gauntlet. “Jamie says beauty4§ better than genius, intelli gence, goodness—everything 1” The girl addressed sat above above the others and apart. Iler slender fig ure rested against a column of the porch, her eyes were fixed dreamily on tlie west where the sun was sinking in to a sea of flame. “Well, what does it signify,”- she an swered quietly, “if Jamie is wrong?” “Nay, what it does signify is that Jamie is right!” retorted the other with emphasis. “At least that is the world’s judgement—-against you.” “How declared?” “In society, in polite literature, in His tory'.” “Let history witness”for it tlien. Whnt does it say?” “That the makers and andmarrers of the destinies of na-j tions, the rulers of the world and its rulers, have ever been beautiful wo men.” ‘Merely ‘beautiful women?’ There is a beauty—to me the only true beau ty—whibli is the physical expression of every mental and moral grace. ’ This. I grant you, is the masterpiece of crea tion ; and when the world finds this rare gem, it gives it a golden setting in history or song—a priceless heir-ioom. But who are they whose merely physic al charms have made them immortal?” “What say you to these names, —Hel- en, Cleopatra, Anne Bolcyn, Mary Stuart?” This, —Hellen was a child of the gods aud worthy of her race and line age,- . Mark the audacity with which she planned and the address with which she accomplished, in. Ilium, communica tions with the besieging Greeks, their joint stratagem and the reconciliation with Menelaus.. Mark, too with what dignity and regal grace the ancient po ets delight to invest her; as- latter she dispenses to wandering heroes the rites of hospitality in her royal home at Ar gos, a very queen to the end. And Cleopatra!' She is subtle Greek genius and versatility incarnate ; the wittiest, boldest spirit of her day, fitted to cope with Romes best and greatest. She read human nature as the musician reads mu sic, and fingered at ease the chords of the heart, dj awing tliecc whatever tones she would, i ler resources of mood and conversation were varied and exhaust less , she herself was always fresh, al ways a delightful, many-sided revela tion. Anne lioleyn, educated and ac complishd in every grace the French court could supply, was a thoughtful and brave women, the friend of Eras mus, and the protectress of the English Revolution. Alary Stuart had genius. Refore the storm broke over iter amb while the sunny skias of France yet sheltered her, no sweeter poetess nor truer musician improvised to her lute for the charmed few who may lie found even in the court chicles by the touch stone of genius. “Think you, Kate, that the world held no women whose mere physique was not comparable to theirs? That if the fine spirit that animated and invest every feature with grace and passion and lustre had been withdrawn that the cold body could have found no rival?” | The girl asked this with kindling] eyes and flushing cheeks while her i voice took a clear, melodious’ flute-1 ike I ring. ‘ Paulino, sister of the first Napoleon, was a living model o the artist's ideal, yet what did she, wit i all the added op portunities of rank ad power, in histo ry or in society? II rname will be lost in oblivion long ere t s waves close over those of her earlier ivals. Mesdamcs Sallien. Sevigne, MaUtenon, Kecamier. or further on still, Asiasia and Cornelia. Pallas Athena sits higier on Olympus than Aphrodite, Katejiot alone as mgis bearer and thunder-wfeldei ii the coun cils of the gods, but the azure-eyed,’ white-armed goddess! of power, who well-nigh wins away (torn Aphrodite’s self the golden award ef. beauty.” : “Ah ! when ‘Greek meets Greek,’ 1 withdraw from the field,” _cried Kate, retreating but still flying her colors.— “1 am not familiar with those ancient dames as you are, Carrie. Most me on modern ground. llow is it ijt life to day?” ‘‘Answer yourself, Kate. Are we of to- day coarser iu our generation than were those old heathens in theirs? Is the divine light of beauty that invests humanity merely the silken sheen of the mask, or is it the shining through the vail of the glory within when we de scend from from the mount ef com munion with Deity? Who arc the beautiful, Ido not say pretty, women you know here in the college and in so ciety without? 'Then say who exert most influence through - character, for good.” “For shame, Carrie!” cried Kate, mockingly; “you know very.well that you are the Athena of the little Panthe on behind us. Yon are most intellect ual ” “And most beautiful! Look !” said Grace, in a low voice, laying her hand on Kate’s arm. Kate looked up, and the persiflage died out of her tape and manner in view of the soft enthusiasm that suffused the girl’s face with rose that shone from her eloquent eyes and that touched with new grace and diguity her form every fea ture: She was “most beautiful.” A SUBMARINE MONSTER. A Victim of the Schiller Disaster found in the Clutches of a Cuttle Fish. The story is a brief one. Mr. Franz Hauser, whose body was buried at Pen zance, near Land's End, was a native of Luxomburg. His mother and two sis ters were on the Schiller, intending a visit to their old home, while he remain ed in lowa. On tlie nows of tin; wreck of the vessel he became so deeply af fected that lie fell into a raging fever. When he became convalescent lie made inquiries whether tlie bodies of his rela tives had been found. He obtained 110 satisfactory information in the States, and resolved to make 'a personal effort on the spot. He came across the ocean, and at once went to Penzance, where at last he ganied.the certainty that neither of the three corpses had been recovered. Thereupon lie employed the services of ■two- experienced: divers, purchased a complete diving armor, and submitted to a course of training under tlie in structions of the two men he had em ployed. As soon as ha was able to move about under the water, and accustomed to the heavy suit, he determined to de scend into the sea where the Schiller had gone down and search for his moth er and- sisters. Several descents were made without success; though tlie re mains of the vessel were seen, yet 110 body could be observed. But one day as the three men were silently moving along about among some sharp-pointed crags and reefs, and being a considera ble distance away from the wreck itself, Frans Hauser was startled by tlie sight of what appeared to be the bead of a fe male form.- It seemed to hang from a reef some ten feet High. He directed the attention of the otiicrs ly pointing towards it- Slowly the three stepped forward in the direction of the reel'.— Nearing the spot, a pitiful and hcart : rending scene presented itself. What was supposed to be a female head was such in reality, yet little of the body to which it belonged could be seen. The corpse was firmly held iu the clutches of a •, GIGANTIC CUTTLE-FISH with, its enefrmous arms and extended suckers, clung to it and to tlie sides of the rock like a wild beast •foasting < on its prey. The sight, say tlie two sur viving divers, was shocking;, yet awe in spiring. They describe tiie 'cuttle-fish as having a circular central body that counts not less than four l'cet in diame ter, of a grflenish black blue with alter nating bright and dark spots and a sli my surface. It was rounded like a dome, and it seemed as if a portion of the human body had been absorbed in to it by the .tremendous power of suction this monsteris believed to possess. Its arms—tlie divers counted eiglit—were apparently of much strength, being over twelve feet long, and judged not to be loss than a foot in diameter where they joined the body. Some of these arms clung to the unfortunate victim, others hold fast to the protuberance of the rocks, and several were swinging through the waters like the trunk of an elephant, but twice the size. Such was the view the three divers had as they approached this reef, amt Franz Houser made a sudden spring forward toward it; but he was held back, llis associates knew that by going any nearer they would expose themselves to attack from the monster, for which they were unprepared, They gave the signal to the boat, and all throe were immediately hoisted up. Having the coverin'’' rctnoVed from his head, Franz Houser declare 1 that he had recognized in the female face one of his sisters, and he was determined to descend again to rescue her body from being devoured by the submarine monster. II is wish was not gratified, however, he being nervous and his strength too much exhausted, and it was agreed to make an attempt the next day tr the ■ day after. But, iu the morning, young j Hauser was delirious, and he lingered 1 on in a paroxysmal condition for some days till death closed his eyes. The two survivors of his expedition under the sea have made sworn statements of the t ruth of these facts, and it is believ ed that, sdine presentation has been sent to the British authorities of the Admi | rality for complete and thorough scieii j tide searches of the entire vicinity of j the Beterrier Ledges to ascertain wlietfe jor these tremendous creatures do .feed I on human victims of shipwreck. A TREMENDOUS BATTLE. Old McStinger was going to bed a little wavy the other night, and not wishing to disturb Mrs. McStinger, who ! has a tongue like a rat-tail file, ho 1 thought it just as well not to turn on the gas. lie got on very well until he reached the door of the chamber where his patient wife lay sleeping. Hare he paused a moment balancing on his heels ; like a pole on a juggler's nose Then ho made a bee-line across the floor. Mrs. McStinger, with her usual exem plary fortitude, had placed the rocking chair with such gifted skill that n > man could come into the room without run ning over it; so the first thing he knew,. Mr. McStinger stubbed his toe-nail against the rocker, which knocked the seat against the crazy bone of his knee, and made one of the long arms prod him in the stomach. .Simultaneously he fell over the chair crosswise, and it kicked him behind his back before lie could get up from tlie floor, as he stood on all fours. The engagement was now fully opened. When a man begins fall ing over rocking chairs in a dark room, lie ought always to have three days ra tions arid 40 round l \\ hen McStinger could get tip straight .his knee came down on one of the lone’ j rockers behind, and (lie back of the chair came down on his head with a \ whack that laid, him out flat, on the floor, . and before lie entil'd move, the chair j kicked him three times in the tendevest ' part of his ribs with the sharp en 1 of the rocker. This made him perfectly furi | oiis, and ho scrambled up and made a j blind rush at the chair, determined to | blow up the enemy’s works. He ran j square against the back, and it rocked I forward with him, turning a complete somersault over the handles, throwing McStinger half way across the room landing on top ofliim, digging into his abdomen like a bull's horns, as lie lay spread out on the under side. It would have been a good thing for McStinger if he had lain still then and let the rock ing chair have its own way. It lay flat on its back, with the long point of the rockers embracing his ab domen, and didn’t seem to want to do anything active just then. But MoStin ger couldn’t make up his mind 40 give it up yet. He rolled over sideways and Upset the-chair.. It fell with a.crash mi its side, giving him a furious dig in the Hv.crwhieh made him straighten, out his logs spasmodically, barking one shin from the instep to the knee on the rock er which hung in the air, an 1 getting the chair on its l'cet again, where it stood rocking backward and forward at him, like a wary old ram making feints of bucking.his adversary, in order to throw him off his guard. The blow in the side nearly finished McStinger, and while lying there rubbing Ins wind back again, lie was just beginning to reflect whether honor required him to proceed any further in the affair, when- Mrs. Me Stinger suddenly began screaming all the llamas in the crimes act, under the impression that the Charley Boss ab ductors were trying to commit a burg lary, bigamy, robbery and everything else on her. Up to this time site had been speech less with terror, and had lain there trem bling, shedding perspirati m, and accu mulating shrieking power, until she had gained the screaming capacity of a. camel back engine. Site had just readi ed iter third xforzainlo J'ovtissivio o.cccl enutrfo, when old MeStinger succeeded in getting to his feet once inure and be came dimly visible to Mrs. MeStinger. With one last wild*parting shriek she sprang from the bed and ma lea dash for the door, near which stood the risk ing chair menacing tho whole universe with a butting motion. Mrs.. McStinger hnd no time for investigation just then, aud she pitched into and over the rock ing chair, and clear An down stairs, the chair after her turning over and over, and kicking Mrs. MeStinger every bump, until they botli landed in the hall belrVw, where tho clmir broke all to atoms. Tills ended the fight. If wivo3wil learn from this sa l story not to leave rocking chairs standing around the middle of the room for their poor husbands to failover, we shall not have written in vain.

A A EURO BAT NESS IN A GEOR-' GIA LAWSUIT. f* was a peace warrant case, between a couple of colored gentlemen, before n Georgia justice of the peace. I saun tered into the court-room just in t iin ■ to hear Uncle Zip, the grizzle-hen led ol 1 darkey who was prosecuting, give in his tcflimoLv from the witness si an i. Iu response to a question from the Court, old Zip gave his trousers an ex tra hitch and turned loose. ‘\or see.’ saiti he, ‘I war a-seltill' wid Tilda, and she war n-settin’ will me: an’. ef de trujr nvtsbe tutu, we uns war bofo uv us a-settin’ terged lor-’ ‘Go 011,’ said the Court. ‘Yasser, - replie I Zip. ‘Well.

Confine yourself to the question.’ ‘Yasser. Weil, efyer inns' hab it, I war a-settin' between mu'— ‘Between who?’ interrupted tlie Court. ‘Between wlio? Oh ! vassor;’ contin ued the exasperating witness. *J got 'ini now.

Tell 1110 at once how many of you were at this woman's house.’ tDat's jys" what I'm a coinin' at," said old Zip. very calmly ‘Yer see, in dp fils' place, dur war Tilda* — ‘Good?’ remarked iemarkel the Court,. ‘An’ Tilda, yer see. war a—T mean she war in do do'. An’dar war me ilex’. 1 war a—l war in de do’, an’ we war hole'— ‘Dry up !’ said the Court ‘Now tell us where the defendant was.’ ‘Danao whar he war,’ said Zip, scratch ing his head, doubtfully. ‘.Spec’ ’ — ‘Do you mean to say.’ asked the Court, with a rising inflection, -that tlie defendant was not present?’ ‘Sartinly” replied Zip. ‘Ain’t got to dat pint yit awhile I’se takin' yer back ter de beginnin’, more' two yeah ago ; au as I war a-tel!iu' yer, we wav a-settin’, an' a.scttin'— •Mr. Bailiff, adjourn this Court!’ His Honor shouted, purple with indignation. ‘And make these parties settle their dif*. Acuity out in tlie back yard.’ Tlie investigation came to an abrupt close, and the last I saw of old Zip lie was complaining loudly because lie was not allowed to tell the entirehistory, of his case. “S WEET SIXTEEN.'’ “Sixteen, to-day! sixteen to-day?’’ was the burden of the song' ihat broke as sol’tly on the slumberous air as though it had drifted oji through the valley of dreams,, and the young girl whose tune ful heart ran over with melody, sprang lightly from her couch, threw up the sash, and looked out on the early morn ing. A breath of summer from the breezy woods, and sweat wafts of per fume from the quivering [lines swept across her brow as she leaned for out of the window, and glanced with anew strange light in her roving eye over the quiet landscape. Everything was the same as it had been throughout her brief life ; the birds sang the self-same matin, the trees hummed their old, soothing monotone, but in her heart tliere was a quickened pulse and throb that invested each familiar scene and sound with new and living interest, for with this day, to liar, came, the dawn of her early woman boo 1. Fiuisr.n v.—Never forsake a friend. When enemies gather around, when sick ness falls upon the heart, when all the world is dark a id chcerles.s, is the time to try true friendship. The heart that has been ton.fue l with true gold will re double its efforts when the friend is sad and in trouble. Adversity tries true friendship.—They who run from the scenes of distress betray their hypocrisy and prove that interest only moves them. If you have a friend that loves you, who has studied your interest and happiness, be sure to sustain him in ad versity. I.et him feel that his former kindness is appreciated, and that his love was not thrown away.—lleal fi lel ity may be rare, but it exists in the heart, Who lias not seen and felt its [lower? They who deny its worth and power have never loved a friend or nev er labored to make a IVien 1 happy. The good an 1 the kind, the affectionate and the virtuous, see an 1 led the heavenly principle. They would sacrifice wealth and all hut honor to promote the happi ness of others, and' in their turn they would he re war le, 1 for their love by sym pathizing hearts an 1 doubled favors when thoy have been brought low by disease or a.lversi! v.
