Designs were solicited, ac­ companied by the "sealed proposals " of the sculptots. When the models were all in, the committee sat on the weighty affair, with all the solemnity of a "Crowner's 'quest." There was one statuette that unanimously pleased these gentlemen, who were so proper that they never said "goll darn " in their lives. It was at once artistic and "culchahed " in the extreme. It was fully up to all the demands of high art even in Boston. Th^y accepted the design, and blessed themselves they had got so good a one. Hhey opened the sealed envelope to find the address of the gifted artist. When they had found it, they came nearer saying "goll darn" than they had ever done before. The sculptor was a woman--Miss Whitney, of Bos­ ton town. They were nearly shocked out of their codfish-holding skins at the discovery. They couldn't think of in­ trusting the statue of Charles Sumner to a woman. Oh, no! It would shock the moral sense of a whole baked-boan community. So, although they had al­ ready singled out Miss Whitney's model as the best one before them, they de­ clined to give her the commission. They seemed to think it wouldn't be exactly modest in a woman, somehow, to "sculp " a man with legs.--Omcin­ nati Commercial •" MOMmliToRits The great want of this ootfntry more stores for the. employment of the thousands of talented young mqn, who, like the man in the scriptures, cannot beg, and are ashamed to dig. These ypung n^n command our sympathy. They sit around the street corners of the thousands' of .our towns and vil­ lages, and wear out the seats of their breeches, in abject misery, because there are not enough stores for them to clerk in. Clerking is the great business of the age with -out young men. Every man who has sons should have a store for them to clerk in. The country doesn't need farmers, and machinists, and blacksmiths, and wheelwrights, and shoemakers, and ditchers, and miners, And all sorts of inechanics. ' It needs stores in which young men can ^et em­ ployment, and part their hair in the middle, apd use Lubin'% extract on their handkerchiefs, and dress nicely, and brush their hair as often as they please, and stay in the shade all day long, and not have any hand-hardening, back-breaking work to do. This is what our country needs--stores for the young men. CUBA* MATRIMONY. Yesterday afternoon, says the Fr«e Pt€88, while a Detroit Justice ol the Peace rat warming his feet by the Btove, and his nose by a cigar, a stranger en­ tered and presently inquired: * Judge, how mtlch will you charge me to read about fifteen lines of printed matter from a book I have ?" "Why, can't you read them?" replied his Honor. "I can, but 1 want to hear how the lines sound when read aloud. IHgive you a quarter to read them to me." "All right," replied the Justice; "I can't earn two shillings any quicker." A woman opened the door at that mo­ ment, and the stranger put down the book on the desk, clasped her hand, and said: "Begin at the pencil-mark there, nd read slowly." His Honor's chin dropped exactly eighteen inches by dry measure as he; saw that the reading matter was the usual form of marriage, but he didn't back down from his word. It was the cheapest marriage he ever attended, and he didn't half enjoy the chuckles'of the' bride and groom as they went out. THE Sutro (Nev.) Independent tells of a foolish bet made by a man of t.bnf. town, while intoxicated, that he oould drink one quart of whisky in five min­ utes.

DEATH from the administration of bhloroform of late has been much more frequent than formerly. It cannot be for want of skill in its use.

MAY, ol AaheviBe, K; 0* writes to the New York Sun that several families of the name Crowell, in Hali­ fax county, of that State, claim to be di~ rect descendants of the father of Oliver CromwelL> In the year 1674 two broth­ ers, John and Edward, brothers of OErar Cromwel l , l e f t England for /Amer ica , and settled in New Jersey, soon after which they|emigrated to Halifax county. North Carolina. While on the voyage, fearing that persecutions would follow from the adherents of Charles II., then on the English throne, they resolved to change their name. This was done with a solemn ceremony, and by writing their name each one on a paper, and each cutting from the paper the letter M, and casting it into the sea. The family pedi­ gree on velluin, recording this fact, was with the family in North Carolina in an ornamental chest which with other valu- .afcles was seized in 17$1 by a scouting party of Tarleton's Legion, and carried off. The family made andfher record of the transaction, which is preserved by their deseedants. ,s RULES OV POLITE BE HA riOM tW 2766. Do not nudge your neighbors with your elbows; do not scratch yourself; do not betray by any gesture you are hungry, and do not look eagerly at the fopd as though you could devour the whole bf it. Whoever it Tbe distributing the out viands do not hastily present your plate to be served first. Do not crunch the bones nor break the stones of fruit with your teeth. Do not suck the bones to get out the mar­ row. It is very indecent to touch any­ thing fat, either or sauce or sirup, with the fingers, seeing that you are thereby compelled to practice two or three other indecencies--to wipe your hands fre­ quently on your dinner-napkin, and so dirty it like a kitchen-clout; to wipe them on your bread, which is even more uncleanly, or to lick your fingers, which is the very height of impropriety. j3e careful not to dip your portion in the dish, or what jou are eatjbg in the salt­ cellar; do not offer to others what you liRve already tasted; and take it, for a general rule that what has once been on your plate must never be put back in the dish. There is nothing so abomina­ ble as to clean and wipe a dish or plate with one's hands; during the dinner do not criticise the meats and sauces or ask to drink first, for it is a great incivility. Carefully avoid talking with the mouth full. It is uncivil to pick one's teeth duriag th« repast with either a knife or foA. " ~ - In placing yourself at the table have the head uncovered. Always wipe your spoon when, after having already used it, you wish to take something from another plate, as there are some people so delicate that they would* not partake even of souf> where you' had dipped yo*t spoon, having previously carried it to yo** mouth. Join the lips in eating, so as not to make a lapping noise, like animals. If unfortunately yon burn yourself, bear it patiently if you can, but, if you cannot, take your plate delicately in one hand, and, lift­ ing it up, cover your mouth with the other hand, putting back upon it what burned you, and then you will para your plate behind you to a lackey. Do hot drink your wine as though you were tasting it, and do not make two or three draughts of your glass* for that is too familiar; but drink it <UfWn at once and resolutely, looking into it as you do so.

VACCINATION, --now generally 1 as a protection » wasx tltecowiijF elliaiPty acci-« dent. Previous to the year 1796, inoou-* lation was the only known method off diminishing the danger attendant on? v for small-pox, fpunc} yfhat many people developed 6amme among them that thoao Wfhose bus^ne it was to milk co^yer^aeldpm jrflicttti with tne disease; and further mve&ti-^ gation proved that inoculation did no taken effect in t^oe? had #cci dentally taken "cow-pox." Jenner foll y lowed up the idea thus suggested by experiments x but his belief that vacci­ nation--from the cow, in the first plewseif and then from one person to another would protect against the small-po% was ridiculed as an abenrdity for sixteeift*! years. He pefrsetefeA, hawfever* kid iif ' 1796 vaccinated a boy, 8 years old, wxtH matter taken from a milkmaid's hemd. The child recovered satisfactorily '̂ but was immediately inoculated fo* small-tpoac, but without the slightest effect. Jenrter's discovery then becam<f widely known and practiced. Although medical opinions vary some-'. what in regard to this subject, it is pretty* generally agreed that, if the protection afforded by vaccination is not perfect; it ia superior to any other known; that although the operation once performed often f ils to give security, yet it gen­ erally modifies the disease, rendering it comparatively mild aud safe; and many physicians are of opinion that if the virus is thoroughly inserted until it ceases to effect the system, the person is protected for all time as effectually aa he would be by an attqclt of smaU-po£« influence or Hippiym • It should never be forgotten that the happier a child is, the cleverer he will be. This is not only because, in a state >of happiness, the mind is free and at liberty for the exercise of its faculties instead of spending its thoughts and energies in brooding oVer troubles, bn$ also the action of the brain is stronger when the frame is in a state of hilarity the ideas are more clear, impression# of outward objects are more vivid, and the memory will not let them slip. This is reason enough for the mother to take some care that she is the cheerful guidd and comforter of her child.
