Nuturo makes no mistakes and rcnllv leaves no screws loose , says the Now Yorft Star. She inarto you a woman bc- ciiu&c she knew you'd find your highest good and happiness In being a woman and wielding rigidly the tremendous powers inherent in your sex , She's got u man somewhere in the universe for you , and you alone , and when you find dim and find out the use you can bo lo him and ho to you. you'll atop wishing you wore a man. You'll tromhlo then at the bare idea that possibly your persistent - sistont wish might hnvo tnrned you Into n muri , as it has done now in part. Now , you are a man , buton the outside only. Inside you'ro nothing. Your femininity and womanhood are all nslcop. You'ro wearing a false coat , a sham , n pretense of masculinity which only disgusts people and drives thorn from you , as all unnatural things do dis gust and drlvo away people. Ho wovor , you'll "shuck" that coat and como out all right some time or other when you moot your man. You can't be expected to do much hotter than now you'ro doing when there's only one-half of you present to do with. He's the other hull. You'ro only half a pair of tongs now. No wonder you bCiittor firebrands as you try to pick them up. The Agents AVoro Auuisinjj for Onco. Ono Allegheny matron smiles when ever any ono mentions agent in her presence nnd recounts with glee how she got even with two of the itinerants , recently , says the Pittsburg Penny Press. She had sent her maid out and was taking n siesta on the couch in hoi- sowing room when a ring at the boll aroused her. She answered it and a , female stalked in , nnd seating herself , announced that she was the &olo agent for the greatest furniture polish ia the world , guaranteed to remove any stain or bcrutch from any picco of wood , to renew the finish and muko defaced pieces as good as now. The lady of tlio tiouse pointed to a terribly rubbed piano and the peddler of the patent goods was it once down on her knees rubbing away 'or dear life. Her face got rod , she rubbed up , down , across and round in a circle , but the polish did not return. Exhausted she resented herself and began to got real cool , when an other ring at that bell Interrupted the How of convoi-bation. This time it wasa book agent , who sold , only on subscrip tion , the very latest cook book. With majico aforethought the matron declined - clinod to purchase , but sot the book agent on the furniture polish vendor. Not allowing an inlerruplion , iho for mer began a rocilalion on the virlues of Iho book. Whenever the latter tried to interject a word into the conversa tion , she wont at it with renewed en ergy and talked the curl out of the pol ish woman's hair. Seeing no chance to got in a word , the attacked female took from her handbag a boUlo of polish and held it up. The ofTcct was electrical. That book agent's face showed her dis comfiture , and without ( mother word shoaio.se and made for the door. She was followed by the other , and the lady of that house vowed that she has not enjoyed liorsolt so muoh for a month , and that aho forgives thorn for spoiling her aftordoon lunch nap. One ITcaltliy American. A thin , delicate-looking woman sat in a horse-car ono evening reconlly , and next her sat n native of Ihc queen's realm. The window behind the Briton was open and the cool wind blow on the woman , making her shiver. Atlastsho said , in a ladylike way , "Won't you be kind enough to cloao the window behind you , as it makes mo cold ? " It would hardly have caused the man any incon venience to grant this request , but ho replied harshly , "I prefer it open ; you Americans can't aland anything ; you all boom to have consumption. " The other passengers on the car wore as tounded at his inactivity , and there wore many angry glances cast at the royal subject. Finally n gentleman rose on the opposite Hide of the ear and , approaching the Englishman with about Ui ( ) pounds avoirdupoisleaned ever him and grasping the window slammed it down with vigor ; then ho remarked : ' Now , my friend , if you think all Amer- cans nro afflicted with consumption you just raise that window again. lam an American. " Tlio Httlo woman blushed , the other passengers smiled , the Amer ican returned lo his seat , nnd Iho Briton looked out of tlio window and thought. A Voting Imdy's A young lady governess was sitting In a horse car In nn English provincial towns , says the Boston Budget , when a stylishly dressed mini entered , who dis played prominently a valuable diamond ring on one of his llngors. He soon after got out , and the young lady , on getting to horfitngo on her way home , stepped out as well , and found , on put ting her hand in her pocket , that her purao was gone. She , however , found a strange article in her pocket , which , to her ut-tonidhmuiit , turned out to be the Identical ring which her follow traveler had been so ostentatiously dis playing. Examination proved that the ring was no Hush article , a jeweler ap praising it as of the value of at least 8150. Fortunately for the lady , there were only two shillings in the purse which she lost. The ring hod evidently slipped olT the pickpocket's linger when ho was in the net of abstracting the pu rso , _ Mistaken Identity. A lady of my acquaintance , says a writer in the Boston Transcript , think ing to give her husband a pleasant sur prise , walked up behind him in the street , ono day. and putting her hand in his arm , looked smilingly up into his fnco for the welcome she was sure of seeing there. She was fro/.on by the cold stare that mot her gaze. She was iust about to say , "What makes you look so croasV" when , to her great dis comfort , she saw it was not he. She stammered confusedly , trying : to ex- plnin her mistake , and got out of the rand us rapidly ns possibly , feeling that any means of obliteration from among the human race at that time would bo acceptable. She generally has the credit of being a. truthful portion , but there ia one subject that luooO who know her always doubt about. When she speaks of having seen some ono , they can not fool sure whether it is the ono she thought It was or some stranger with a resemblance. The matter of seeing resemblances amounts to a talent with some persons , and ono ( they would gladly dispense with. How much easier It is to recognize a lady friend from her costume than a gentleman 1 The monotonous dress of the latter , in nln o cases out of ten the same shaped hat , the same suit of clothes , the same tone of color and when overcoat time is hero ( nnd that is most of the time in this region ) , dear , dear ! Who is who ? But a woman always wears something that identifies her among other women. In the language of the showman , Mt is easy to distinguish Daniel from the other lions by the green cloth umbrella under his arm. ' " i > 'rnnkHu'fl Adrlcc to Mothers. In a parcel of Benjamin Franklin's letters that have recently been made public is one addressed to a lady , con gratulating her upon the well-being of her baby boy , whom she had announced us having cut live teeth. lie writes : "Pray let him have everything he likes. I think It of great consequence while the features of the countenance nro forming ; It gives them n pleasant air , and ono that becomes fixed and nat ural by habit , the face Is over hand somer afterward for it. nnd on that much of a person's good fortune and success in life may depend. " Franklin did not moan by this that the child should bo given all the food it wanted , but that it should bo sur rounded by pleasant objects for its amusement and diversion. "Who has not seen a scowl of discontent upon the face of an infant deepen and become a permanent defect a lifelong proof of the discomforts of its babyhood/ Verily the sins of parents are visited upoii their helpless children. After alow more telling arguments in favor of the child , the writer says : "Always be lieve a child at least , do not express your unbelief if you can help it. If the little fellow sees that you rely upon his word , ho feels an increased respect for the truth and for himself , until at length his character for probity will become - come matured and established. " Many an exceptionally imaginative child is unable to distinguish between facts and fancies as fairy tales and Mother Goose melodies quite bewilder his brain with their semblance of realty. Such chil dren are apt to conjure up curious stories in wnieh truth nnd notion are hopelessly confused , and will relate them in nil seriousness. Not Afraid ofa Unt. Says the Boston Transcript : At ono of the Washington street Theaters the other evening a lady , who with her husband was seated in the parquet , be came aware that some living thing seemed to bo moving about on the Moor underneath her scat and colliding with her foot in certain more or less fantas tic movements. She investigated the matter sufficiently to convince her that the intruder was a rat. Then she what1 ; Screamed ? Not a bit of it. With oat presence of mind she simply told her husband that there was a rat under her feet. He changed seats with her as promptly as posiblo without attract ing attention and then poked the rat out from under the seat with his cane. It took refuge under the seat in front and passed outof hissight. What became of it he does not know ; ho saw and hoard nothing more of it ; but ho will vouch for the fact that it was , to all appear ances , an able-bodied rat. If that lady had , upon the discovery of the animal , followed her instinct and screamed and jumped , she would probably have started the house into a panic. Incident No. 2 A Boston girl , retir ing at night , found a rat in her room. She closed the door and started in wild pursuit of the creature about the room. She was just about to deal it a crushing blow with the French heel of her shoe when the rat took refuge in the spring of her bed , quite outof her reach. "Well , " said she , "I guess , after his experience , ho will stay where ho has found he is safe. " And then she went tranquilly to bed and slept all night , and in the morning she got a terrier nt a neighbor's , and the dog ferreted out the rat and killed it. Perhaps that is the only case on record where a woman has slept peace fully with a rat in her bed. There have been , on the contrary , able-bodied mas culine persons who have leaped madly out of bed upon hearing what they sup posed to be a mouse burrowing in the mattress. A Happy Woman. Somebody asked mo the other day , says Bab iii the New York Star , who wore the happiest women , and I've been thinking it out ever since. The con clusion I have como to is that nho is the happiest woman who is not too hand some. I don't moan that she shall be disagreeable looking , and she mut < t have a curtain charm of manner ; but by her lack of beauty she can keep the loviie.st of woman friends and no jealousy arises , while she is always a pleasant companion. The woman who is not a great beauty does not need to anticipate growing old with that horror that comes to her who knows that it means the loss of her greatest attraction. I have always made a thanksgiving every night that Providence arranged that f should lo born south of Allison and Dixon's line , but I now add to my thanks the fact that nature did not make me beautiful. Ono can only fool this way after ono has become how old ? The woman without beauty is going to try and bo something else , for in the heart of every woman figure without Roman lines nnd a calliope voice there is a desire - sire to bo considered the nicest in the world by somebody. And if the woman is worth" penny , she prefers that some body to bo a man. Obtrusive Politeness. A young lady was carefully assisted ever the alarming space that yawns be tween the station platform and car by a young gentleman with a cork leg , says the Now York Sun. She effected the passage in safety and tripped into the car while her escort thumped his way on lumberlngly behind , The couple wore fond of each other , and they stood quite close together in the crowded car and looked into each other's eyes and chatted nnd'nuted in an idiotio manner. A prim man of middle ago tendered the young lady a soat. "Oh , no ; I couldn't think of robbing you of it , " she said , In u frightened sort of way. "But I insist , " said the prim man. The young lady shyly sat down and glanced up npnoalingly to her escort. The fact that tha relative positions of the young couple were embarrassing flashed upon the passengers. To con tinue the conversation with any degree of privacy it was necessary for the young gentleman to lean over at almost right angles , for the young lady was very short. Ho couldn't do this because - cause of his Infirmity , and ha had sense enough not to make the situation moro ridiculous by trying. Painting Baby's FUIIB. A letter from Paris informs us , says the Poll Mall Gazette , that the doctors nro at war with the silly mothers be longing to the fashionable circles. The latest lunatic lam of la mode is to apply the horrors of fnco palntlng to little children. In the public gardens babtas ol three years 'old may uow be soon , whoso eyebrows Mro' been blacked or dyed by their senseless mothers. Other anxious parents , distressed nt the vul garly ruddy nnd Rustic hue of their children's cheeks , carefully powder them before sending them forth to meet the gtizo and criticism of the world. Little coquettes of tea years nro not permitted to go abroad until the regu lation black stroke has been-pain ted beneath their eye's. 'Pho doctors warn the mothers that' when the children thus barbarously trentbd reach the ago of sixteen they will have a colorless nnd ruined completion , to say nothing of the injury to h6nlUi , which is nn ar gument loss likely to produce much ef fect.

[ Special Correspondence of the BKK. ] Leaving the railroad to the north nnd crossing a rushing stream then In the very flush of Its existence , by reason of the rapidly molting snows In the dis tant mountains , I rode u a short Incline on top of which I found myself con fronted by a long , black , rugged and seemingly Impassable stretch of "mal pals. " As accords with many and llrmly believed Indian traditions , this great How of lava seems truly and sin gularly enough to bo resultivo of n curse administered by n displeased and revengeful pod , who presided over the destinies of this country in former ages. It mutters not , however , from what cause that terrible outburst of molten matter was made to How over the coun try , It still remains as an Indisputable fact that it has and perhaps over will continue to prove a curse. This How of lava originally issued from craters sit uated iu what are now known as the Zuni mountains , and whoso peaks are plainly visible from the San Jose valley , and naturally sought the confines of the lower valleys , whore it spread Its devas tating forces over thousands of acres , blotting out every vestige of vegetation , submerging hind that necessarily other wise must have been fertile nnd produc tive , and effectually warning' a great breadth of country into a bleak , craggy and desolate waste. After fighting every inch of two milesacross the Mal Pals , and leaving it and its uninviting caves and crevices to the mercy of wild beasts and rattle snakes I drew around a sharp sandstone point and came in bight of the Mexican pueblo of San Hufuol. nestling close to the dill's and overlooking a broad , well- watered valley. Although not so ancient as many other Mexican settlements , San Rafael has been the bcono of muny incidents peculiar to the frontier , and directly adjoining the present town site are the half-tumbled down walls of old Fort Win gate. This fort is now entirely deserted so far as human activity ib concerned , but report has it that in past and busier times many wore the gay scenes enacted behind il& stern fortilicalions. The ruin.s , which cover about ten norcb , boar witness of commodious buildings that during the years between 18i ( ( ) and 1868 sheltered firstly New Mexico vol unteers and subsequently two companies of militia and two of regulars , whom old settlers claim made those bristling gilt-buttoned days a scone of either war fare or gaiety. The houses composing the town seem to have bprung up at random like bo many wild flowers in total disregard of blrcots or thorough fares , and all are built of adobes , nnd for most part unrelieved by a single orna ment. To ha sure in several instances some por.son being suddenly struck with an idt-ti to create a. novelty in finish , jitis endeavored to add a portico or projee- turo.i of scroll work to his house , but Mich o.isos are very few and I believe the people being o unused to any east ern adornment of their homos have learned to iuo baauty in the bare adobe walN , and rcg.vrd any nttoinpt nt im provement to ' > e waste of time and ma terial. It is also curl i to note that in a land of suiibhino we I. i. no noatlv arranged ( lower gardens , J embowered door ways or rows of shrubbery , branching out over a shady piny ground for chil dren or forming a routing place for birds , yet such utter neglect on the part of residents is sadly the truth. Un- luckj indeed would bo the little bird who sought to build her maternal nest in a hedge row or a flowering bush about .Sun Unftiul , ns it must look iu vain for such a harbor. And I believe , too. the birds have long been aware of the shameful disregard of their require ments , as I found while roaming the surrounding hills many wee ueats hid den away among the tall bristling cacti. The most enthusiastic poet would find himself sadly out of luck wcroho drawn here by glowing visions of fragrant Itowors or pretty sylvan homos , where ho thought to rest among the showering points and inscribe a puiiionnto , soulful sonnet to a black- ovi'd honoritn as she ( as is proverbial of Spanish girls ) tugged gracefully down a bhaded lane to fetch a jug of cool sparkling water from the bubbling spring below. Sunorltiih there are and very pretty ou'- : > too , and they nro in every wuv i creditable and inspiring picture. Most of thorn nro daughters or poor parents and hnvo nuvcr perhaps boon flftv miles from their native town , and are endowed dewed with no education whatever out side of n few llxcd rules of etiquette ( lint are habitual and ever conferred by Mexican parents. The senorltas nro modest but then they hlivo such a be witching way of raising their long blacK lashes , and charming you with a swift , roguish gliinco. They dross very neatly and , for homo iinaccountiihlo reason ( it must bo a natural intuition ) they , or their mothers , microed admirably in getting a rmnnrltably stylish and eloie-lltUng cut upon their garments , and their gay colored frocks cling perfectly to their forms , which in young girls are in variably plump and well rounded. Notwithstanding the dead , uninviting appearance of adobe houses from the outside , their Interiors are decorated olT with all po iblo and some iinpojislblo contrivances and pictures , most any of which nrf > capable of surprising the be holder , when soon for tlo ) Ilr.st time. A free and open hospitality is ono of the most agreeable as well as the moit conspicuous virtues of the Mexican pee ple. I was quite cordially recolvod and entertained by a peasant or small ranchero , nnd his numerous family. This family dwelt In n house which consisted of three commodious rooms , each of which scorned to run into a wing , or at right angles with the other , and even when combined , in reality formed no liou.su at all. All the \\alls had received a rocnnt dash of whitewash , and wore hung over , by way of contrast , with u profuse array of highly colored pictures of all imaginable bizca und shapes , and repre senting many and extremely dhorso subjects. Thus , for instance , the Holy Virgin portrayed in an assortment of bright colors , and holding the infant Savior to her breast , hung by thn side and smiled benignly upon a group of very mod erately appareled damsels in the very throes of an artistic und wholly unap proachable high dance , that was strongly suggestive of a prominent and and well-known sporting paper.

The lloor of each apartment was originally nuul , but now nitido almost na boliil at , rock by constantly beni } , ' trod den upon by bare or inoccabinud feet. The good housewife kept it t > wept very dean , for which purpose fahc used n short whisk broom , in the form of n bunch of tough , fibrous grass that grows along the edge of neighboring swamps. For cooking purposes a fire was made in a small owil lire place , and while the wife propnrcd a toothsome , though rather llory dish of "chili con carne , " the daughter was down upon her kncp.s busily engaged in rounding out thin "tortillas" and baking thorn upon a smooth flat-iron. In a room to which the host and my self repaired for an after dinner &mokc , I found an abundant variety of bods. Some wore high , BOUIO low , others wide and others narrow , nnd encircled around the four walls , just leaving room for a doorway in one corner. What occupied my fancy most however , was a pair of benevolent , motherly looking pillows , the edges of which were om- bollitihed by the merest suggestion of a frill. In this room wo wore shortly joined by mine host's wife who herself runic to join us in a cigarette. 1 give detailed description of this imrticular house as from other observations I found it in a general way to represent many others , As the Mexican people dote on llashy colors , their homes are frequently be- decdcd with vari-hucd calicos and mus lins which they gather up in largo festoons teens and arranged about the walls , principally above the beihi , which has in absence of other decorations quite a pleading clleet. Tlio country adjoining the Pueblo is , or rather could bo. made very productive. Tha soil is rich , hay grows naturally upon the lowlands , there is an abund ance of water for nil purposes , while thu hills sloping back from the town are in- oxlmiibtiblo in fuel nnd timber , and alToi-d also uiiburpuioil pasturage. Vet with all these resources the puoplo are poor. They cannot bo branded as indolent , because they are industrious , but in a way peculiarly their own. They lack thrift and enterprise and are most miserable managers requiring an immensurable - mensurable length of time to accomplish little or nothing. They don't appear to euro for advancement and are content to live on in an easy , humdrum , go-as- you please way , finding enjoyment in many unimportant events among them- themholves and happiness iu the thought that they are able to live at all , II.
