BOYS AND GIRLS
BOOKS arc hard to get, for want of money. But
the boys and girls must have something to rend, and
they ought to have fresh supplies of reading every
week. Now, there nre plenty of monthly papers for
them: but their old friend—and who does not re
member hint and bis “Children'* Guide” in war
times—their old friend, J. W. BURKE, proposes
giyc I hem the
Handsomest Weekly Paper
his Fhoonix Printing House can bring out. To do
this lie must have HUNDHED80FSUBSCR1BKR8!
Aud lie appeals to the young folks to help him.—
lie wants to know how many will vote for tho pa
per by agreeing to take it. Let them send in their
long lists of names that lie may sec how the vote
stands, and whether it will warrant him inoommen
fling it. Nevermind the money just now. If he
finds the vote all right, he will begin the publica
tion, and call for the money; for then he will hold
that all who have voted for It by sending up their
names, will be under obligations to. subscribe for
the paper. Who says “Hurrah for a Weekly Paper
for Ihe Boys and OirlsP’ and what boy or girl will
soonest send iu the longest list of subscribers!
We shall, in Ihe first number, begiu Ihe publica
tion of a
Sequel to the Young Marooners.”
Nearly all tho boys anil girls in Hie United States

Au Incident In the Cars.
On the whole, pleasant trails mul iuci
■lontsaro not common in tho ears, I think.
This opinion I expressed to my friend Su-
murs the other day. I n reply to my re
marks lie related a little adventure, which,
ns it is npprnpns, mid moreover, involves a
little love aud sentiment, I give it without
apology, mul in his own words. It iippenrs
that in tlio most unlikely plnccs, love and
sentiment may hu discovered.
“I was escorting homo the lovely Char
lotte It- -, to whom I was nt the time
unite devoted. Charlotte could scarcely
find room to spread her crinoline and nr-
■align her vnliiiniiioiis flounces. I stood up
near her, iliero being uo vncanl seat.
“After a few minutes, came in a poor wo
man, who dc|iosiled a basket of clothes on
tlie platform, and held in her arms n small
child, while a littlo girl hung to her dress.
Slio looked tired mid weary, but there was
no vacant scat; to besuro Charlotte might
linve condensed her flouuccs, but bIio did not,
beside hor, however, sat a very loveiy am
elegant young woman, who Manned trying,
by moving down closer to others, to make
space enough for the stranger between her
self mid Miss D . At Inst sho suc
ceeded nud with tlio sweetest lilush I ever
saw she invited tlio poor female to lai seat
ed. Charlotte; I) drew her drapery
around tier and blushed too, but it was not
a pretty blush nt all, and she looked annoy
ed nt tlio proximity of tho newcomer, who
was, however, clean and decently, though
thinly clad.
“The unknown lady drew tho little girl
upon her lap, and wrapped her velvet man
tle around the small half-clad form, and put
her mutt'over the half franco littlo bine
bands.
So great was tlio crowd that I alone seem
ed to observe. The child shivered—the
keen wind from the door blew upon hor mi-
protected neck. I saw tlio young lady qui-
etly draw from under her "shawl a little
crimson woolen shawl, which she softly put
on the shoulders of the littlo one, the niotlior
looking on with confused wonder. Alter a
.short timo she arose to leave tho cars, and
would have removed tho shawl, but the
uuknown gently whispered, “No, keep __
for her.” The woman did not answer, the
conductor hurried her out, but hew eyes
swain witli ters. I noticed her as sho do-
accuded to a basement, and I hastily re
marked the honse.
“Soon after my unknown also aroso to de
part. I waa in despair, for I wanted tb fol
low and discover her residence, but I could
not leave Alisa D-
“How glad, then, I waa to sen her bow*
mg, ns sho passed out, to a mutual acquaint
ance who stood in thu door-way. From him,
ere many minutes, I bad learned her name
and address.
“To shorten the story at much as possible,
that lady ia now my wife. In the amall in
cident whioh introdueed her to mo she
ahowed her real character. A fow days af
ter oar marriage I ahowed her tha blissed
crimson shawl, which I had redeemed from
its ownsr, and shall always keep aa a me
mento. There nre sometimes pleasant things
to he Canud in unexpected places; certainly
I may have said to have picked out my wile
in tire cars.
TIIB nVLE OF HONOR.
Honor (says the London Chronicle) Is n
kind of Justice, liul neither lounded on the
same principle, nor tilling tlio same sphere,
ns justice itself. It is, like justice, virtue re
duced to till intellectual standard, right ar-
cording to u man’s desert. Hut it (too* not
estimate light hy the rule of virtue only. It
obliges a man to not consistently, not with
the whole rule of virtue, Imt with that por
tion id it which in* publicly professes, or is
held to prntess. It is, then, a ghost of virtue,
ns t'ldei idge says, because it is not absolute
virtue founded on a divine law, hut only a
relative one. Its aim is not virtue, but con
sistency. It torpids a man llrst to make
imselfanswerable by ncting nn » low rule
if morality, and then to avoid the cons.-
res nt his deeds hy professing a high
li le of conduct. Ii requires consistency and '
ongruity, not completeness. Ileneo there
may lie great crimes to which honor is in-
iiflerent. Ildnes not approve them, lmt it
oes not. stump a man as dislnmornhlu pre-
isely for eomnfttting them. This nlono de
stroys its community witli virtue. Virtue
requires completeness, and holds the offend
er against one point to bo guilty of all.—
Honor, too, requires it complete fulfillment
?! Us own code, and stamps with dishonor
him who oHonda against one point of honor.
Hilt the faw of honor is not coextensive witli
•ho law of virtue. It is only a residuum of
tin* rule ol right, a conventional law of so-
vial conduct, seeking virtue, indeed, but not
insisting on virtue, which it would lie vain
In look for in a MpBlety as it exists. Such a
society must, however, insist on the virtues
winch nre ol prime necessity for Its own ex
istence. Ill t Ids wav tho code of honor conies
to iuolude tilings wliinll nro not virtues at nil,
aud to forbid tilings which nro not iiceessn*
nly contrary to virtue. Thus it may forbid
mesalliance in marriage. Yet probably this
elnss ol things is sninll, and in forbiding
them, the code of honor might find a con"
llftaparallel in tho code of virtue. Tlio
'hristinii law lias its tables of kindred nud
nfliuily within which it forbid* marriage.—
Some 01 tlicso degreess nre defined by na
ture, others nro moroly tlio “hedge of tlio
Iny,” conventional and precautionary safe
guard*, forbidding nllianco not naturally
wrong, hut tending to habituate tho man
ners to others that nro so. The law of hon
or in the snmc way may have its forbidden
degrees, not ofnffiuity, bur of distance, and
may repudiate nllinnocstlintnro not so un
equal ns to endanger tho social balance—
marriages with women of inferior race, or
somle condition, nrrudomind, or degraded
character. .
Honor, nlso, as Wadsworth snys,ia a fine

deceptions of which the confessional would
make little account. It is again an imper
fect and bastard Virtue, ns Coleridge says
heeanse, while virtue is one and tho same!
for all rnlionnl agents, honor varies with a
man’s social station and profession. It has
different codes for servants nud schoolboys,
for tndcsincn mid gentlemen. There is oven

uiieville says, insists on tho virtues useful to
tlio ulass that frames tlio code. And Its first
utility is to exert nn infiuenoo, which forces
tlio man who has abandoned nil the princi
ples of virtue to adhere to somo of its prac
tices. Whether tho cirolc ol virtuo which a

However false ho may bo to tho world or to
ns own conscience, honor would liavo him
keep true to the inner oirclo to winch ho ban
bound himself. If he is true thorcln, ho is
honorable in his own sphere. Virtuo admits
no Huoli distinctions. Hhe has no graduated
scale which imposes only one set of virtues
on one class and another on another. Sho
ims but one nll-comprehonsivo circle, and
reeoguir.es no smaller private circles which
comprehend a few virtues, and reject the
rest ns surplusage. Hut benoath this circle
comes honor, spread like a not beneath a
tree, to catch the climber who falls. When
a man lias fallen from virtue, honor may
keep him from baseness, as the polioo may
koop him from orimo.
Hut tho utility of honor goes further. Let
us suppose n society organized upon tho ono
rule ol virtue, and innkmg light of tho rulo
of honor. Yet into such a society tho divi
sions into distinct circles must find a way.
And thcro will bo those who profess to ad
mire it from its practical Jsidc. These will
bo at last branded by tlio others as mere
heathen moralists, and they will retort with
tlio chargo of a puritanism which depreciates
the virtues whoso fruits are manifest, in
comparison with tho hidden virtues whose
manifestations, being merely formal, may,
therefore, bo counterfeited and practised in
hypooracy. Tho society that abjures the
code of honor gains nothing thereby. In it
also there are wheels within wheels, eiroles
within eiroles. Hut these eiroles are intol
erant with each other, and aggressive in
their nstnre. Tho code of honor is tolerant.
