FREEMAN, a modest young won,an, and ready; And 'twas always by special desire That she should be pious and steady. A correspondent of the Newark Advertiser, who has recently visited the Swiss canton of Appenzeil, describes it as wonderfully prosperous, and tit the same time the purest Democracy in the modern world. He says that "the air of material well-being is universal. Not a beggar accosts you, not an individual meets you who does not look wellclothed and well-fed, Nothing in the land seems out of order. The roads would put to shame those of either France or England; the bridges and other public works are all in the best repair, and admirably engineered and constructed. Every village is connected by the telegraph wire. The schoolhouses are models of arrangement; that at Gals would do credit, for size and ex ■ ternal appearance, to any first-class provincial of Europe The churches are quite astonishing." And in describing the government of this favored land, he says that "once a year every male inhabitant between the ages of twenty-five and seventy is required by law to meet at a central spot, appointed for the ren dezvous, there to discuss and regulate the affairs of the nation ; and there they do meet in thousands ; and there accounts are settled, laws are voted, magistrates are elected and all things set in order for the year. These unpaid legislators carry their own provisions with them to the assembly, which never lasts more than a day, lest their unwonted numbers might breed a famine in the locality. All public functions are gratuitous, or receive only a nominal compensation. The salary of the landamman, or chief magistrate, is 200 francs per annum. The last landamman reigned for twenty years, and his son has just been appointed his successor. In this favored region there seems to be no taxes, or at least none paid in money, though everyone is called upon to contribute his share to public works in the shape of what the French call prestation, or labor in kind. But do not imagine that these primitive practices denote also or are derived from primitive poverty. On the contrary the population is rich, and would be called rich any where, and many persons were pointed out to me who were twice and thrice millionaires. The 6ecret of all this is that the people have the country to themselves, and hold it and employ it, and govern it for their own advantage and enjoyment, and not for the benefit of rulers, of whatever category.

She played brilliantly ; she sang well ; she chatted with wit and vivacity ; but Nellie met her bravely upon her own ground and conquered her. Her musical attainments far surpassed the widow's 6howy, superficial playing, and her voice was full of depth and feeling. Not once did she waver. Her husband's heart was the stake for which she played and though she knew it had never strayed far from its lawful allegiance, she wanted it firmly fixed upon herself.

Courtship is the last brilliant scene in the maiden life of a woman. It is, to her, a garden where no wesds mingle with the flowers, but all is lovely and beautiful to the senses. It is a dish of nightingales served up by moonlight to the mingled music of many tendernesses and gentle whisperings—and eagerness that does not outstep the bounds of delcacy, and a series of flntterings, throbbings, high pulses, burning cheeks, and drooping lashes. But, however delightful it may be, courtship is, nevertheless, a serious business; it is the first turning point in ihe life of a woman,crowded with perils and temptations. There is as much danger in the strength of love as in its weakness. The kindled hope requires watching. JgOOTS AND SHOES! Hernia, or Rupture! Marsh Co.'s Radical Core Trass.

The rose tints of affection dazzle and bewilder the imagination, and while always bearing in mind that life witliont love is a wilderness, it should not be overlooke d that true affection requires a solid support, discretion tempers passion, and it is precisely that quality which, oftener than any other, is found to be absent in courtship. Young ladies in love, therefore, require wise counsellors. They should not trust foo much to the impulses of the heart, nor be too easily captivated by a winning exterior. In the selection of a husband, character should be considered more than appearance. Young men inclined to intemperate habits—even but slightly so—rarely make good husbands to the end; they have not sufficient moral stamina to enable them to resist temptation even in its incipient stages, and, being thus deficient in self respect, they cannot posess that pure, uncontaminated feeling which alone capacitates a man for rightly appreciating the tender and loving natwe true woman. The irreligious mairfis like a ship without a rudder, and he wkpej can make a good husband, for a hjEwdarkened by cold skepticism or fjtflScliflerence to religion and its duties ■is at home—it is merely a shelter; there is but little warmth in the atmosphere of the rooms, and every object in them looks chill and chilling. The indolent man likewise cannot be expected to make a good husband, for he neglects his time and wastes his estate, allowing it to be overrun with thistles and brambles, and subsists on the industry of others. Every precaution, then, is necessary for the selection of a husband.

C1 ft STRONG STEAM HILL, Who Did It ?—A village school was governed by a master who endeavored to inculcate truth and stern moral principles into the minds of his pupils by dint of moral suasion, combined with the free use of rattan. He insisted upon his pupils confessing whenever they did wrong, and insisted often in such a forcible manner, that many a poor little victim was made to confess wrongs that he never committed. One day little Johnny Marks was called up to recite. " Come here!" thundered the teacher. Johnny, alarmed beyond measure at his tutor's harshness, intutively felt that he must have committed something wrong which demanded confession. '* Tell me at once!" spoke the master, " who made this world ?" Unbidden tears started to Johnny's eyes as he stuttered : " Please, sir, I don't know, sir!" " Wha-att!" ejaculated the preceptor. " Tell me immediately, sir, who made this world?" Poor Johnny in an instant recalled the moral that had been taught him but yesterday, and, falling on his knees before his stern master, he clasped his hands and said, tremblingly, "Please, ir, I did! bat I'll never do it again !"

THE BEST OF FLOUR, FEED, &c., Quite an exciting time recently occurred at one of oar wharves, says an exchange. The town of Sterling, 111., has hit upon an excellent temperance measure. It has passed an ordinance providing that if the windows or doors of drinking saloons shall be obscured by means of screens, paint or other devices to conceal what is going on within, the proprietor shall be liable to a tine of from five to twenty dollars. which ran be produced.

He invites a resume of business with old friends, and a trial from the trade in general. cry slowly Helen Huntley wended her waX homeward through the hot, dusty streets. She was pondering over her aunt's words, the aunt whose love for her 6hc knew was only second to a mother's, Too truly had she said that her husband had not found his hopes of a home fulfilled. As Helen reviewed the past year by the light of her newly roused conscience, she marveled at the many instances of patient forbearance she re called, and owned in her heart that the fault tinding of which she had complained was very gentle, and very often omitted where crave cause existed for it. It was hard to define cxactly the day and hour when the household an-angement began to fall entirely into the hands of a servant, whose perfect neatness and competency were, it must be admitted, a strong temptation to a young mistress. It was difficult to say when Helen first found it too much trouble to dress for dinner unless company was expected, when the drawing room was closed except for weekly cleaning, when the fine toned piano was first doomed to silence and solitude. As the young wife entered her own room after her long walk, fevered with the heat of the day and her own train of thought, the little clock upon the mantle warned her that she had only two hours' time before her husband would be at home to dinner. It required an exercise of all her newly roused resolutions to refrain from throwing herself upon the bed to rest; and surely her long walk was* good and sufficient excuse for this indulgence.

A Singular Murder— One of the most extraordinary murders of which record is made, was that of Pope Julius. The Pope retired to his private apartments, at his usual hour, in good health, and he observed two wax tapers, elaborately ornamented, upon his table, burning very brilliantly. An officer of his household, the Gameriere, accompanied him to his chamber, but did not enter. "Who," said the Pope to him, "sent this bright gift to me ?" "I do not know, Holiness," replied the Cameriere. The Pope closed the door, and iit half an hour after the Cameriere, coming to remove the lights, found his breath taken away as he attempted to enter the apartment, and he saw the Pope sitting in a chair, dead. As the candles burned they exhaled a mephitic vapor, which killed him. First he was stupefied by it and was rendered unable to move, and then the aerial poison did its word easy enough.
