The Dangerous Girl.
Out now, at last, let us condo to the
tea " dangerous girl !"-the girl who
poems by some fine fitness to walk into
the empty room in a man's heart which
Nis never been opened to another wo-
olen, and take up her abode there.
▪ She is just as high as my heart," or -
undo says of Rosalind, and there can
be no more accurate measurement for
lover's delight m his sweetheart. She
fis him, she suits him. She may not
peaty, she -need not be clever; she
leisy be both of these things in a re-
enirkable degree, and a ball -room belle
beside, and a chefd'atuvre of milliner's
art in the bargain. But she has a gift
oyer and beyond all these which ren-
ders all others subordinate. She has a
of listening which makes the most
eraY
eserwed man eloquent, and her little
epeecheS, never audacious and rarely
brilhant, have yet something tenaci-
we about them, and cling to his mem-
ory when he sits over his fire by night
or goes about his daily work.
Then her face, her dietinct and vivid
personality, pursues him; it is the gid
herself, not her bangles nor her flounces,
that he remembers. It seems natural
to him that he is thus taken possession
of and held captive. No matter how
cold he may have been heretofore, he
now -becomes ardent, warm-hearted tiaad
ruJi. He may have admired a pretty,
girl with her furbelows and flounces,
and her nice perception of the most be-
coming ; he may have been a little
hoavy-laearted over the stimptnous
beauty of the belle, and have enjoyed
the society of the clever gid who saved
him the trouble of doing all the talking,
being able to do it hersaf so much more
brilliantly. But this hankering after
Private felicity, this fervid belief in at.
tainable happiness, this large faith in
the future which marriage may assure
to him, only followed hie acquaintance
with the "dangerous girl" who upset
his boasted ideas of independent enjoy-
ment, overturned all his preconceived
notions of bachelorhood, and set him
longing to be enga.ged. Until he saw
her, he said with the Benedict : " One
woman is fair, yet I am well; another
is wise, yet I am well; another virtuous,
yet I am well; but till all graces come
into one woman, one woman shall not
come into ray graee."
Indoor Conveniences.
In this warra weather all indoor
work should. be lightened as much as
possible by the aid of all modern ma-
chinery which tends to save manual la-
bor. Every well-managed farm has its
improved implements and machinery;
its barn planned for ease of work as
well as comfort of . stock. The era of
improved implements for cooking, etc.,
is not yet fully reached. It willcome
in time, however, and meanwhile much
can be done to lighten household toil.
Have the stove in an outsidekitcheu,
and have plenty of air blowing about,
with blinds as curtains to keep out the
san's fierce rays; there should be water
plenty, and near by; have the best
washing machines and churns. Dry
wood. should be at hand when needed.
A little lift for any heavy work from a
strong man is only the . woman's right.
Mutual thoughtfulness and kiuduess
will keep their ends even, and thus hus-
band and wife can bear one another's
burthens.
The celebrated Dr..Miller tells us in
his lectures that woman has a finer and
more susceptible organization than
man; that in one the nerves preponder-
ate, in the other the coarser muscles.
Under the impulse of this nerve force
woman can do things which surprises
herself ; but the reaction is severe and
trying, prostrating the tenergies in a
way that surprises and even vexes men
who do not understand this. Buoyed
eap by wifely and motherly love, won-
drous indeed is woman's endurance; but
it is well to remember that ceaselesa
watches at night, and. constant duties
by day, are too much to be long,- sus-
tained.
So far, then, as means likely allo w,
have kitchen appendages to keep pace
in conveniences with hay mo* and nice
stabley and patent reapers. That's fair,
and. tfair play is a jewel." With all
these outward helps, and with a spirit
of thoughtful affection on all sides, ev-
erything will go along smoothly.
There is a good. deal of busy and. try-
ing housework in a farm house; but, at
the same time there are many pleasant
compensations. In the long summer
afternoons, with work done until night
comes, the quiet rooms and pure air,
fragrant with the sweet breath of roses,
how pleasant the rest! No din and dirt
of city streets, but the green grass, pleas-
ant and grateful shade trees, broad fields
and plenty of blue sky.
It is no Marvel that so much of the
noblest womanhood comes from the
hirm houses, for there is w ork, self-help,
simple tastes tinged. with nature's del-
icate hues, and for some quiet
thought and the healthful growth of the
soul.
Decorative Wives.
There are and have been a number of
!rinds of wives from the earliest period
of which there are any accounts. 'Thera
for instance was Job's wife, and Abra-
ham's wife, and. Lot's wife, and the
wives of Ulysses, and of Menelaus,
which have each been placed at the
head of categories of their own, but we
have now a new kind, named " The
Decorative Wives," which the New
York Times has taken up and thus de -
Scribes:
This is an era of superabundance
grown necessary, of luxury, of number-
less artificial wants. We need, �r
rather we wish, for the showy more
than the substautial,-for that which -
We concei‘-e to be elegant in preference
to the merely. comfortable. Therefore
it is that decorative wives are in such
request, and have their proper place in
every home pretending to be in any way
fashionable. Men of means and tastes
often want hoines where they can create
social reputation's by exercising boun-
teous hospitality, and., as home without
a wife is inismemed, they require a wife
in order to execute their purpose fitly.
They are neither Arcadians nor senti-
mentalists. Spirtual need, hunger of
the heart, passion for companionship, is
not theirs. They do not know what
those fine terms mean. All they lack
ill au imposing piece of animated furni-
ture that wilr be in keeping with its en-
compassments,-a woman, in short,
who can do the honors of a well -arrang-
ed household, and. reflect lustre on her
husband. She is quietly, though dili-
gently, sought until found, and duly re-
moved, after an ostentatious wedding,
to -the elegant establishment she is ex-
pected to adorn. Nor does she general
ly defeat expectation. She cornpre
hands fully ber new position, and prove
herself adequate to it. She has bee
elected to be decorative, and decorativ
she resolves to be.
What a number of decorative wive
there are in society, especially in tha
which assumes to be our best, -and i
is all the best! Cheap satirists rail a
them ; they are treated in epigrams
they are lectured, impersonally, for
their worldliness. But why should
they be? They please their husbands,
-they perform their part of the con-
tract; they are the radiant centre to
which all their surroundings lead and
are toned -up. No one can say that
they do no harmonize admirably with
the Turkish rugs, Venetian mirrors,
.frescoed.ceilings, delicately -tinted walls
rosewood tables, handsome pictuenS,
beautiful vases, and the curious bric-a-
bracethey are environed by. To all their
husband's guests they are most cour-
teous and gracious. They never speak
a werd too much ; they never do a su-
perfluous thing ; their moods and -man-
ners are matrimonally exact. They
may not move or delight, but they
never offend; and the many who meet
and associate with them are ,quick to
say that they are charming women, -a
eocial phrase which denotes that their
own self-love respects the self love of
others. Every part of their decorative
duty they discharge; they are social
artists, .and are perfectly aware where
light is needed and shadow is most ef-
fective, what shades of color will blend,
and when boldness of handling is re-
quired.
A G-ood Word. for the Mule.
We have been told that the best
horse on the farm is the mule.- To this
doctrine we subscribe in full. There
never wag a worse misrepresented or
more abuse& animal than the mule.
Barring some ecccentricities that nature
seems to have endowed him with,
when you get down to business -hard,
unremitting, never-ending work; when
you have got heavy loads to pull,
through sticky mud, where it is neces-
sary that pullers should stretch them-
selves against a dead load. -pull the very
life out of themselves, even if the load.
never stirs, no jumping or rearing,
no plunging or nervous action, but
just an honest, hard effort to do all that
is in him -commend us to the humble
mule.
There is nothing deceitful about this
long-eared gentleman. He is in favor
of fair play -no flank movements on
him. His rear is sacred soil, and he
allows no trespasses in that direction;
depressing the banners on his head
in fair warning before he strikes.
It is true that, if abused, he will get
even if he has to wait through long
patient years to get a good. square kick
at you. This you should have known
at first.
How is it with the horses? Put two
of them to the wagon and drive afield
for a load of corn. Load up until the
wheels settle in the mud, and how are
you going to get out? First. a tolerably
fair pull is made at it ; then begins that
see -sawing, first one and theu the other
at- the traces, ending in rearing and
plunging, accompanied by showers of
profanity and a general breaking up itll
around.
Put mules in that wagon, and some-
thing has got to come. If the first pull
does not bring it, give them a little rest
to gather up their energies and. look out
for a steady pull thee will make things
crack. A mule's teeiper is adapted . to
this kind of work. He is slow, stub-
• born and deternaiiie I, so that whou he
does make up his mind to do a thing
he is sure to do it. He is not only a
good puller but a good stopper. When
he is tired he is going to rest, and you
might as well let him de it. Turn 'him
out and let him have a good roll, and
he is as fresh as ever. His body
rarely tires -he only wants a little men-
tal diversion. He is liable to scare on
the road, and sometimes makes up
his mind to run way. Then look out
for he is sure to make a first-class job
of it.

The Bernhardt Fever.
"Hello, Sara!" remarked the Duke
of Edinburgh to Madame Bernhardt,
in the free and easy manner for which
he is so distinguished; "what have you
done with the h belonging to the first
half of your name?"
"Sere," replied the actress, a shade
of annoyance crossing her classic pun.-
tenance, "I have -dropped heem. I ob-
serve, sere, Zat your countrymen have
great needof heem. Ze soopply of dat
leetle lettere is varee leeneited in , zis
coontry.. I geeve heem oop to you,
sare."
"Oh, very well," said the Duke, blush-
ing with surprise; "but you needn't
make such a deuced fuss about it. I
don't care much about it, anyhow."
The Prince of Wales Was equally un-
fortunate in a recent passage of words
with the great actress.
"Well, my dear," he said familiarly,
"and how are we now ?"
"Your b-b-r-revet Majestee," replied.
the lady, at a loss for ' the proper title
by which to address the Prince, "is too
keind. I zink you eenvite me to
have vot you call contempt for mine-
-self."
"Not at all, not at all," -said the
Prince warmly. "You're just as good
as I am, you know. Don't lower your-
self, I beg of you. It's all right." .
eBut, sare," replied the radiant crea-
ture, snapping her eyes, "you mistake.
I zink you eenvite contempt for yourself,
too. I allude to zat farailiaritee which
breed sooch dings."
"Oh !" said the Prince, whistling soft-
ly to himself. "By Jove! I must go out
and see somebody."
The lady is really as aggressiVe as a
snapping turtle. Lord Beaconafield ad-
vanced to her, hat in hand and with a
sweet smile on his countenance, "I re-
joice to see you here," he said patroniz-
ingly. "The English people are ;always
glad. to recognize genius, no matter in
what shape or from what quarter it
may come. Accept their . homage,
my dear Madame -accept their hom-
age."
"Vat you know of ze English peo-
ples ?" enquired Madame Bernhardt,
sharply.
" H'm 1" replied his Lordship with a
deep blush. "1 may say, perhaps, that
I represent them to a certain extent.
They are mine, as one might say; by
adoption. But come, come, Madame!
Let us not have words. Be amiable,

Catching a W e on the Fly.
M. C. Shakespear, , a farmer residing
in the northwestern part of Michigan,
and possibly a dista t relative of the
renowned bard of t at name, called on
the Rev. J. H. Ric ey, in Detroit, at
two o'clock one a ternoon lately, and
stidi.
arson, do you now all the ladies
"
in the Waco ?"
"No," replied Mr. Richey, "I don't
know half of them."
1"Do you know a widow lady named
Mrs. Ward, who is employed in the
family of Dr. McGregor ?"
i"I have not," said Mr. Richey, "the
hdnor of her acquaintance; but why do
y8u ask?"
. "Well," said Mr. Shakespeare, "I
don't know her either; never saw her
in my life; but thinking he maybe you
knew all about her, I thought I'd
cdrae mid ask you. I'm thinking about
marrying her." .
111 should think," remarked Mr.
Richey, "that you would refer that mat-
ter to the lady herself."
"I will, so I will," said. Mr. S., "but
not till I have first seen Dr. McGreg-
or," and so saying, he turned and walk-
ed away.
About three-quarters_ of an. hour
later in the day Mr. Shakespeare
again stood in the 'presence of Mr.
Richey.
"I've seen Dr. McGregor," said he,
"and he says he's known the lady 16
years, and she's all right." Then ex-
Oting from M. Richey a promise that
he would remain in his office a 'little
While,' Mr, S. walked off, saying he
would 'call on the lady.'
:And he did. " It's all right, parson,"
said he on walking into Mr. Richey's
,office less thau an hour afterwards. "I've
seen the lady, and she says it's all
right. Quick as I cau get a pair of li-
censes I want you to go up and tie the
knot."
At 4:20 o'clock M. C. Shakespeare
was married to Miss Nancy Ward, the
Rev. J. H. Richey officiating, and the
newly -wedded pair left at once for their
rural home. Mr. Shakespeare has a
good farm, and is well able to make his
wife comfortable. Mrs. Shakespeare is
a good housekeeper, and is otherwise
well qualified to make him a good wife.
Two hours and twenty neinutt'es, dating
from the moment the would-be bride-
groom's first inquiries were made, is the
precise time occupied in the accom-
plishment of this alliance. The origin-
al Shakespeare never imagined anything
half so expeditious, his nearest approach
to it being:
She is fah' and may be wooed;
Woman, and may be won.
•
The Conversations of Women.
There can be no doubt that, as a rule,
the readiness of women in conversation
is much greater then that of men. It
ie when they have nothing to say that
women show their immense superiority
in saying it. They can create conver-
sation, which is the great social difficul-
t. Give a man a subject that he
knows anything about, and unless he is
really a fool or morbidly reticent, he
can talk about it so as to make himself
fairly intelligible, and perhaps inter-
eting, to those for whom the subject
th.s any interest. But the power of
c'onversation in some women, and not
1
always those 1 of remarkable ability, is
tae very art Of ;making bricks without
straw. They wili talk to one by the
lour about nothing-ethat is, on no par-
ticular subject an4 with no particular
object -and talk coherently and not
foolishly, and very pleasantly, all the
time. It would be very difficult, per-
aps, for the listener to carry away With
'm any mental notes of what has been
sb.id e he may not be conscious of hay -
i g had his old ones muchenlarged ;
but he will rise and go his wily as one
after a light aud wholesome meal, sen-
sibly cheered and' refreshed.

Varieties.
-A man named Wm. Hurd, has
pitched his gospel tent in Norwich,
Conn. It haa,seating capacity for 50,-
000. The general arrangements are
like those of a circus. The parade in
the streets exhibited gaudily painted
wagons. A strong antipathy to the en-
terprise is shown by liquor dealers, and
the destruction of the tent by fire or
riot is feared.
1 -Louise, Victoria and Maud, the
young daughters of the prince of Wales,
rarely appear in public in any but the
1
simplest of dresses. They are some-
times seen with their Mother at the
theatre in plain white linen or cotton
sailor dresses, with a little red trim-
ming, and they are often met riding
and driving in neat sailor dresses of dark
blue woollen. They went with their
f tiler and mother to the recent French
fIir in gowns of plain pink. eambric,
iidth sashes of crimson harmonizing
Niith the pink.
