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.

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.

‘‘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.

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
