Old Virginia Matrons.
The old-fashioned Virginia matron
was not feminine in the modern sense
of the word, which makes it synono
mous with trivial,feeble and inane. She
was feminine, however, in the sense of
being and doing what is appropriate to
woman.
A letter written by Mrs. Oarrington,
describing a visit which she and her
husband, a soldier of the Revolution,
made to Mount Vernon, just before
Washington's death.gives a view of the
Virginia lady of one hundred years ago.
After mentioning that Washington ex
tended his retiring hour from 9 to 12 to
tdk about the scenes of the war, and
that Mrs. Washington spoke of the
days of her public life as 'her lost days,'
she writes ;
♦Let us repair to the old lady's room,
which is precisely in the style of our
good old aunt's—that is to say, nicely
fixed for all sorts of work. On one side
sits the chambermaid, with her knit
ting,* on the other, a little colored pet,
learning to sew.
'An old, decent woman is there, with
her table and shears, cutting out the
negroe's winter clothes, while the good
lady directs them all, incessantly knit
ting herself.
'She points out to me several pairs of
nice colored stockings and gloves she
had just finished,and presents me with
a pair half done, that she begs I will
finish and wear for her sake.
•It is wonderful, after a life spent as
these good people have necessarily spent
theirs, to see them, in retirement, as
sume those domestic habits that prevail
in our country. y
The words we haye italicized show
that Martha Washington,instead of be
ing singular, was a type of Virginia
matrons. The words of Proverbs de
scribe them: 'She seeketh wool and
flax, and worketh willingly with her
hands.' 'She girdeth her loins with
strength, and maketh strong her arms.'
'She looketh well to the ways of her
household, and eateth not the bread of
idleness.'—2Yt<tA's Companion.
ADVICE TO MOTHERS.
Are you disturbed at night and broken of
your rest by a sick child suffering and crying
with pain of cutting teeth ? If so, send at once
and get a bottle of Mas. WINSLOW'S SMOOTHING
SYRUP FOR CHILDREN TRBTHING. Its value is
Incalculable. It will relieve the poor little suf
ferer immediately. Depend upon it, mothers,
there Is no mistake about it. It cures dysentery
and diarrhoea, regulates the stomach and
bowels, cures wind colic, softens the gums, re
duces inflammation, and gives tone and energy
to the whole system. MRS WINSLOW'S SOOTH
ING STRUP FOR CHILDREN TEETHING is pleasant
ao the taste, and is the prescription or one of
the oldest and best female nurses and physici
tns in the United States, and is for sale by all
druggists throughout the world. Trice 23
cents a bottle.
A CERTAIN Republican official has an
old colored man in hit, office who builds
fires, sweeps out and holds the fort
while the official goes out to "see a
man,'* or on other business. The
other day a visitor met the old darkey
on the street.
"Sam," he called to him, "is Mr. X.
in his office?"
"Yes, sah; leas' ways he war when
I come away."
"Weii, rve got to go up to the next
square; do you think he'll be there
when I get back?"
"I don't know 'bout dat, sah, Yo'
see, boss, hits a gittin mighty nigh on
terde time when yo' can't fin' no
'Publicans in der offices, an' Ise a little
shaky ebbery time I leabs de boss dat'
when I come bak dar'll be some
Dimocrat er udder settin' in his cheer,
jis ez if ho owned de whole shebang.
Yo,bettah go now, sir, an' be shu' uv
im."
"Yes," said Dudsey, rising with a
sigh from the chiropodist's chair and
looking at his pair of toothpick shots,
"there's the divinity that shapes our
ends, rough hew them as we will."

HALLS HAIR
BENEWEB.
\ The groat popularity of this preparation,
after its test of many years, should bo an
assurance, even to the most skeptical, that
it Is really meritorious. Thoso who have
used IIALL's HAIR Uknf.WKR know that
it does nil that Is claimed,
i It causes now growth of hair on bald
heads—provided the hair follicles are not
dead, which is seldom the case; restores
natural color to gray or faded hair; pre
serves the sealp healthful and clear of
dandruff; prevents the hair falling off or
changing color; keeps it soft, pliant, lus
trous, and causes it to grow long ami
thick.
HALL'S Hair RKNEWER produces its
effects by the healthful influence of its
vegetable ingredients, which invigorate
and rejuvenate. It is not a dye, and Is
a delightful article for toilet use. Con
taining no alcohol, It does not evap
orate quickly and dry up the natural oil,
leaving the hair harsh and brittle, as do
other preparations.
Buckingham's Dye
* ron TUB ' ,■
WHISKERS
Colors them brown or black, as desired,
and is the best dye, because It Is harmless;
produces a permanent natural color; and,
being a single preparation, is more con
venient of application than any other.
