Evening Post. I I Old Fashioned Servants. In those days when the Boston stajre office was in Elm street, girls with blooming cheeks came from the pine woods of Maine, the breezy hills of New Hampshire and the green hills of Vermont, to do housework in the city. They arrived by! stage over Charlcstown bridge, and beheld with wondering eyes the shipping in the harbor. Westward they saw the spues of Cambridge, while before them ro3c the city of Boston with its labyrinth of street and lanes." Down through Union street galloped the horses, the. people rushed to their doors and windows to witness the event of the day the coming in of the stage, -and refreshing their eyes with the sight of health and beaut v. Tlie stage coach with six horses on the; tun was the highest idea of progress. Society at that' period ran at the rate of nine.miles an hour. Farmers from all -Down East," from the Canada line, and from Berkshire hills came in -midwinter io Boston market, and there was an annual throng of red sleights round Faneuii hall. In those days there was no lack of children in the land, and M. D.'s and D. Ds did not feel constrained to write tracts and deliver lectur es to the women ol America upon the baby tpicstion. tanners had daughters by the half score, who" could spin weave, knit, scw milk, make butter and cheese, and who, by hard woik from dawn to twiljght, at the wheel and loom, conll earn fifty "cents a week. Those who. had a surplus of daughters were always oh the lookout when at market for situations where a dollar a week could be earned by Jane and Mary; so, when the girls came whirling into the city in tlie stage, they knew where they were going,' and what wages they were to receive ; for it had all been set tled by the prudent father. Atlantic Month lg. ' ' Tabernacle in Chicago. The so-called. "Bajlist Tabernacle for Kansas," a tent made in this city, was dedicat ed on the evening of the J5tli." It is capable of seating from eight hundred to one thousand people, and with its intire "outfit'' nfay be drawn over Kansas bv a span of horses. Dr. Evarts presided at the dedication, and' Itev, N. F. Ravlin, of the Fifth Baptist church, offered the dedicatory prayer. Rev. Messers ILK. Stimson and Wiufield Scott, of-Kan sas, made very stirring ad lresses,' touching the moral and religious wants of the. young and rising state. Dr. Evarts also rpoke at considerable length,-and with more than or dinary power. He thinks this "tent" v ill in augurate a method of disseminating gospel truth which will become popniar and common in. sparsely settled districts, and that it . will also be the means of popularizing and aug menting our national gatherings. By the aid of tents he expects to sec forty or fifty thous and Baptists come together to pray and to plan for the propagation of the fa th.

Translated from the German." ..!. . . . I Young ladies, if yoh xh to be happy nd cdntentcd after the marriage' ceremonies and honeymoon arc ovr, I would suggest the fol lowing z' Do not choose a' lazv man ; do not fall in love with a mustache, neither with a hat,UVctllciuic f v;cnna addressed t the assem neither fashionably cut trowscrs, nor blacken ed boots, or pomaded and artificially curled hair ; neither look upon graceful dancing and horse-back ridir.ir no indeed ! for with all the above mentioned qualifications of now-a-days called, a fast young man, you would not be able, with the best cnlinary skill, to cook a meal of victuals with it. But," if a man comes to ask yon for your heart and hand, in quire if he is a skillful artisan, or a thrifty, in dustrious farmer who. is up early and late, and rather does his own work and loves to do it than to complain of hard times ; or, if he un derstands to manage hi fortune, if he has. any, or has the ability to acquire one; ask him if he thinks there arc six day in the week to work, and if he improves them, and then one Sunday to rest on, to praise the Lord and go to meeting if so, and you can otherwise love him, take him, for he is sure to provide for you. But, if ho is one of them who loaf about half, and more than half the time, dressed in fashionable cut garments, afraid to work for soiling his clothes, always thirsty, and who has the sixth commandment seven times abol ished of course, let him stand in the cold and give him. the- mitten ; for, "with such a lounging, goou-ior-noii.ing annus, you wouiu be uuhappy as long as you live. If all the young ladies would at once join in a society and determine never to marry a lazy, flippant, good-for-nothing, do-nothing tho effect would be marvelous and create wonders ; for the young men on matrimonial business would soon see. the secret and go to work, earnestly and honestly, and endeavor to be sober and industrious in order to get than a wife of their wishes : the irholc army of their loungers and street-corner watching gentry would disappear from the earth like frogs in winter. The recipe is bitter and severe, bnt it .vill euro undoubtedly try it and sec. Moriiing Star, Grog Logic There is, says the Tribune, a legion of the grog-minded who assume that the best thing for the state is to leave every form of wicked ncss alone. Those who argue that we lia.v"e no rightto jrcstrain or prevent the FaWofj poisions are naturally opposed to preventintr prostitution or polygamy. Of course they are by sequence equally opposed to preventing the circulation of obscene journals and counter feit currency." We are at loss to know upon what principle they found tlpcir notion of the paramount utility and iuipunity of crime, un less it be in a libertine conception of the law of supply and demand. Thns, iXxQ supply of polygamy and crinis generally will be regulated by the demand for it ; and so, in the opinion of our sophists, the natural law will govern the case. But has it ever struck our cotcmporaries that wholesale prevention' is a part of tho supply and demand and the moment wc cease to make a moral effort at public progress, that moment we arc guilty of public crime ? Society is respons ible for its drunkard,'and the same law that impels us to take down the gallows excites our consciences against the rum-shop. It is just as impertinent to - declaim against the gallows, or against any form of robbery in our city government another mood, wo take it, the death-damp brojr the tn-ttc ! hair.

The deliberations of the synod of the Jew ish rabbis were inahgurated on Wednesday,. June oOth, at Leip$ic. The synod was atten ded by about 80 rabbis, scholars " and repre sentatives of congregations. Dr. Golds, chmldt, the rabbi of the city, opened the ass- . rmbly by an eloquent 6pcech. He pointed ont the purpose for which they, had assem bled. He dwelt on tho fact that the synod was not now attended by men occupying religions offices alone, but by those of the inost various calling.
