When are Women Most Lovely ? We have received from a young lady a question which u so interesting and invites our consideration of a theme so delicate and delightful, that we are fairly forced to answer at length. This is what she writes: S ir — r Will you be kind enough to tell me, are young ladies considered more lovely, and thought preferable, at tho ages of from eighteen to] twenty - two, or from twenty-two to twenty-five or six I You will understand me; I mean do men most admire them. B. Loveliness in woman, though it may vary in its character and manifestations at different periods of life, is not the property of youth only. There is a great and undeniable charm in the fresh beauty of eighteen, to which inexperi ence and early romance lend, perhaps, additional fascination. A pretty girl of that age, who has been untouched by care, and w*ho knows of the world through imagination only, is a very de lightful/ object, and many men may wish they might take captive their first affec tions. Between ejghteen and twenty-two the changes of a girl, so far as the charms of her person go, are not likely to be great, but in that time, by longer intercourse with society and by natural development, she may grow more com panionable for men of maturity, find her carriago and self control become better and greater. Those are important years in a young woman’s life, the years during which, in our climate, the ma jority of the sex are married. And yet from twenty-two to twenty-five or twenty-six, a maiden may and generally doos still further advance in attractive ness and adds to the store of her charms. She is still young, but she has outlived many youthful fancies, and feels some of the dignity of womanhood. No better ages than those in a woman’s life, and never is she lovelier. But why stop at twenty-six i What fairer women are to be found than uany of those between twenty-six and thirty, ami even older ! Girls of eighteen may look on them as unsought old maids, and yet there are in their womanly prime, and may capture hearts which have been i I a/ainst girlish fascinations. Oftentimes they make the best of wives, and men find a solace and companion ship in their society which immaturity cannot give. They have the advantage of experience, and they have learned the lessons taught bv longer contact with the world, while still they may not be averse to falling in love. No, we assure our fair friend, it is not that a woman is eighteen, or twenty-six, or thirty, which makes her lovely in the eyes of men. She may be just as lovely at one age as the other; but inasmuch as most marriages of women occur between the ages she mentions, it is safe to as sume that the majority of men prefer to take wives who are not older. But all men of taste and discernment admire feminine beauty and loveliness whether they show themselves in budding youth or riper maturity; and we will dare as sert that if our correspondent was really channing at eighteen, she will be more so at twenty-six, or that if she is now lovely at eighteen she ought to be lovelier at the greater age. But let her give no further thought to the subject. The beauty that is uncon scious is the most alluring, and loveli ness which exercises its sway without apparent effort is sure to make the best conquest. This we sav in full confidence that the multitude of weddings which are to take ¡»lace in the period after Easter will confirm the truth of our words. Let us hope that before another return of this delightful season our fair correspondent will be selecting her bridal outfit, having found by happy personal experience that we have wisely answered her important question.—New- York Sun. Do the Dying Suffer Pain? People do not like to think of death. It is an unpleasant subject, but it con stantly obtrudes itself, and there has been much speculation as to whether mental or physical pain attends the final act. Observation teaches us that there is little pain of either kind in dying. Experience will como to us all one of these days, but it will come too late to benefit those who remain. It seems to be a kind provision of nature that, as we approach the dread event, our terrors diminish, and the coward and hero die alike—fearless, indifferent or resigned. As to physical pain, Dr. Edward H. Clarke in “Visions” says : “The rule is that unconsciousness, not pain, attends the final act. To the subject of it death is not more painful than birth. Pain lessly we come; whence we know not. Painlessly we go; whither wo know not. Nature kindly provides an ana?sthetic for the body when the spirit leaves it Previous to that moment, and in prep aration for it. respiration becomes feeble, generally slow and short, sudden expira tions, so that the blood is steadily less and less oxygenated. At the same time the heart acts with corresponding de bility, producing a slow, feeble and often irregular pulse. As this process goes on, the blood is not only driven to the head with diminished force and in less quantity, but what flows there is loaded more and more with carbonic acid gas, a powerful ansesthetio, the same as that derived from charcoal. Subject to its influence the nerve-centers loose con sciousness and sensibility, apparent sleep creeps over the system, then comes stupor, and then the end.” The Dignity of Bells. With what strange and solemn mem ories have bells yet extant been associat ed ! The long green bell in the leaning tower of Pisa, said to date back to the thirteenth century, which has rung for ages as the sad processions of criminals have passed over the bridge to execution —the very bell which, perchance, an nounced to the awe-struck Pisans that the wretched Ugolino, starved to death at the bottom of the tower, had at length ceased to breathe. The great Carolus at Antwerp, which first rung in 1467, when Charles the Bold entered the city; the storm-bell in Strasburg Cathedral, which still warns the traveler of the tempest seen from afar sweeping over the Vosges; the small bell Horrida, the tocsin, 1216, covered with mildew, which hangs high up in Notre Dame at An twerp, and is never rung, by reason of its age and infirmities; the gato bell in many an old fortified town that still sounds at the shutting and opening of the city portals; the curfew, which, from time immemorial, has rung over the flats of Cambridge and the fens of Ely, and still greets the ears of the freshman, reminding of the time when the neigh borhood was one waste of perilous and poisonous marshes; the old Tourney bells, which from their city belfry greet the silent colossal five towers of the grandest church in Belgium, and strike the ear of the traveler as he hurries along the high road from Lille, almost before the beacon-light on the summit of the belfry salutes his eyes—and these are the chance specimens that rise in my memory at random.—Good Words. ------------ ----------- What’s One Bullet to a Basket- Full. An incident occurred at the battle of Franklin w'hich I have never seen in print. The sanguinary battle was at its height, and now and then there was a soldier who would not face the music, and holding to the idea that “distance lends enchantment,” on all such occa sions would exhibit his faith in the idea by taking “leg bail” for the rear. These cases were getting too numerous to ward tho close of the battle, and Col. B------ , A. A. G. of our brigade, was sent back to the rear to intercept those seeking for safety and return them to their respective posts. Colonel B------ said he hailed one fel low who was making tracks for some place of safety with all the energy of despair. “Halt, I say, and return to your com mand.” The flying son of Mars took no notice of the command. “Halt, I say, and go back to your post.” Still the soldier paid no attention to him. The Colonel now became exasperated, and yelled out: “If you don’t turn and go back to your command I will shoot you, sir !” Without pausing in his flight the sol dier yelled back: “Shoot and be hanged ! What’s one bullet to a basketful!” Colonel B------ let him go, aud after the battle told the incident as a good joke. -------------- » " A Corpse Weighing 980 Pounds. Benjamin Singerly, formerly proprietor of the State Journal, and Stale Printer for a term of years, who died suddenly after travelling from Philadelphia to Pittsburg one day about two years ago, was a very heavy man, weighing from 350 to 400 pounds. He was interred at Pittsburg. A few weeks ago the relatives of Mr. Singerly made preparations to have him resurrected and taken to Philadelphia, where his parents and other relatives are buried. When the person to whom the work was intrusted had dug down to the top of the casket, they were surprised to find that no offensive odor prevailed. The rough box was opened, but the at tempt to remove the casket from it was ineffectual, on account of its extraordinary weight. When the lid was removed the face and body were found to have under gone petrification,—they had assumed the color of yellow marble, and the entire face and form seemed like one mass of marble chiseled from a block, not one of the features or lineaments be ing out of place or unnatural in the slight est degree. The body was raised from the grave by means of a block and fall, and was found to weigh, when weighed for transportation to Philadelphia, 980 pounds. —Harrisburg (Pa.) Patriot. The Secret of Success. Haverly, the theatrical manager, who runs half a dozen theatrical and musical companies successfully in different parts of the country, replies to an inquiry as to the secret of his success: “First-class attractions and publicity. Tho public require to be told what you have to give them. Advertise ' advertise ! is the key note which has to be played upon in every form.” The veteran Barnum made substantially the same answer to the inquiry’. He attributed his success in drawing crowds to “printers’ ink.” It was by ingenious advertising that he worked up the Jenny Lind furore to such a financial success. Of course he pro vided a genuine attraction in the first place, but it was requisite, secondly, that he should make the public appre ciate that fact by liberal use of printers’ ink. The same fact is true in any busi ness. First prepare to supply a good article, and next let the public know the fact through the agency of printers’ ink.”—Baltimore Herald. “And what would you do, Henry,” Down in Indiana when they don’t asked a rather vain lady of her little want a man to be a candidate for office, nephew, who had been assuring her of his unbounded affection for her, “if your they get the papers to speak of him as “an aged citizen whose many infirmities good aunt were to die, and your uncle were to marry again?” “Why,” replied will prevent him from entering the po litical field.” Henn*, without the slightest hesitation, --------------> «•» -------------- j„ should go to the wedding, of course.” At the cooking lecture, lady solilo quizing: “Now, that she’s got it cooked, Miss Boncoer (who has been reading I wish she’d teQ us how to use up cold to her Sunday school class): “So you mutton.’ Next lady overhears, and re see, children, the good man Aaron swal marks: “I have an infallible recipe.” lowed up all the other rods. Tommy First lady, alert with pencil and note (with a heartfelt sigh): “Gorry, don’t book: “WiU you please favor me?” I wish dad’s old tickler had been there.” Second lady: “Six boys!” ‘‘Savage” Languages. I No human beings are without language, and we know what that implies. All the stories of tribes with language, or with language more like the twittering of birds than the articulate sounds of human be ings, belong to the chapter of ethnologi cal fables. What is more important still is that many of the so called savage lan guages have been shown to possess a most perfect, in many cases too perfect, that is to say too artificial a grammar, while their dictionary presents a wealth of names which any poet might envy. True, this wealth of grammatical forms and this superabundance of names for special ob jects, are from one point of view, signs of logical weakness and of a want of power- fuf generalization. Languages, which have cases to express nearness to an ob ject, movement alongside an object, ap proach toward an object, entrance into an object, but which have no purely ob jective case, no accusative, may be called rich, no doubt, but their richness is truely poverty. The same applies to their dic tionary. It may contain names for every kind of animal; again for the same ani mal when it is young or old, male or female: it may have different words for the foot of a man, a horse, a lion, a hsre, but is without a name fcr animals in gen eral, or even for such concepts as member or body. There is here,’ as elsewhere, loss and gain on both sides. But how ever imperfect a language may be in one point or other, every language even that of Papuas and Veddas, is such a master piece of abstract though that it would baf fle the ingenuity of many philosophers to produce anything like it. In several cases the grammar of so called savage dialects bear evidence to a far higher state of culture possessed by these people in former times. And it must not be for gotten that every language has capacities, if they are only called out, and that no language has yet been found into which it was not possible to translate the Lord’s prajer.—Max Muller, in Macmillan’s Magazine.

I T As is well known' when the Czar was fired at in 1866 by Karakosoff, in the Summer Garden, the first officer who came in the scene was Gen. Todleben. The assassan was gone, but the General found, lying on the spot and apparently insensible, a young peasant whose name proved afterward to be Ossip Ivanowitch. Another young man, an apprentice, who was there likewise, but was never heard of afterward, asserted that he had actually seen Ossip pull back the arm of the as sassin as the latter was firing his pistol, and that the former had, consequently, saved the life of the Czar. The fact was at once considered proved, and young Ossip was lionized into a hero, and in troduced to the Czar,who made a noble man of him under the name of Komis- saroff. For a whole season the young fellow, under the guidance oí Gen. Tod leben, was the idol of St. Petersburg so ciety. His fa'her, a non-political convict in Siberia, was recalled, and after a tri umphal journey, admitted to share in the new prosperity of his sons. Eventually, when the enthusiasm had cooled down, it was ascertained that Ossip had never saved the life of the Czar at all, and that being slightly tipsy when the event took place close by him, he had simply been frightened by the pistol’s report, and had fainted. The matter was hushed up as soon as possible—they manage that sort of things very well in St. Petersburg— and the new nobleman was provided with a Lieutenancy in the Caucasus. I sup pose he is still there.—London Truth, May 1 st. ‘ELEMENTS. .U:ithiue of tlie World* So large a portion of th* Grui nd Grain Crops of the Pacifio Co**t kaw l orn ent by tlio BUCKEYE, that MO fay» xaci Loro can ho ignorant of its marltai or require argument to conriMOS hl* d its superiority; as ft is too well and vorably known to need comment.
