Wo both voted tor the mountain in stead of the sea. and for Now Ilamp shire ; so we started out determined to Bee all that we could of the Noith woods. As wu had both jogged on thus far through life without meeting any vonng woman who seemed absolutely essential to our happiness, wo could look forward to n comnleto rest, from tho use of tho pen. Thero would b no love letters to write every night when tired and dull ; au occasional postal card, whereon were sunbuled a tow words in pencil, would satisfy our friends nt home. Neither did we set out with any idea of meeting our fnte. Wo went to enjoy the woods ntd each other : we rather shunned than sought society, es pecially that of ladies. Alter a day on hake Ueorce we took tho eastern route to the woods, mending a night nt Eli.abelhtown. Thence wo 'tramped to Keene, the clear mountain streams, deep, cool woods, and grand towering peaks, more than making up for the hard loads and thick dust, so that, though tired, we were more than satisued with our first day's experience, As wo had resolved to "do" the mountains, we climbed the cloud- cleaver, Tahaw.n ; wu spent n shiver nig night on wiiitotacc ; whence vo watched .Lake 1 lacid brighten under the morning suti ; wo picked n four- leaved clover from John Brown's grave at iNorth Jilba : Wo started a deer iu the Indian pass, and saw our guide kill it : and, to crown all, we came out ot tho woods by way of the lakes. Uur guide was a wiry little tellow too slight to carry a boat, wo thought, until wo watched him in a wrestling match, when he showed himself tough as whip-cord, and wo had no fears. starting Irom the lower aaranau on a dull afternoon, a gorgeous sunset lit up tho clouds and lakes as wo rowed swiltly along; thou, as tho rich purplo and crimson laded, the crescent moon broko through tho clouds, and we had our first experience of "curies" iu this uncertain twilight. It was only a short walk, however, and then we glided across the black water of Koumi Lake in an utter silence, save for tho plash of the oars and the scream of thu loon or niglithawk. .Next day wo wound along the ua quette river, whose waters were low, aud whoso shores, oven thus early, glowed with autumn color. Uur nights were spent at hotels, which we reached late and left early our days, in rowing aud "earning Almost lost under tho inverted boat, our guide led us through tho rieh veg etation of tho carries, without wander mg even when the lire, si ill raging, had obliterated every trace- of a trail to our unaccustomed eyes. Occasionally wo heard the lueongru ous sound of human voices other than our own and camu upon a similar boating-party. Now and then wo heard the baying ot dogs, nnd Knew that somo poor deer was iu distress, or we saw an uncommon bird, nnd listen ed to its wild note, but for tho most part, there were lew signs of life of any kind, and the silence was complete; tho sense of loneliness, intense. What wonder, then, that Aland seemed almost fairy-liko to eyes long accustomed to such beauty 1 As wo camu out upon tho Kaquettu " (.- Vllfltll'fllJIIVVO "I MWH lllllll lllltlll WIKU laku we felt as if wu wero approac lung wo nimbled along, talking merii 3, "All unusual acts or crimes com civilizitinn ; clearings, with back shan- iv ;,, gl)i,0 ,.f ti10 noist, a ,.aucv mii 0f mitted i,v iuebri.it us. either in a state ties or moro pretentious cottages nccu- cupied many of the points ; nnd hark 1 what sound is than no ncrous screams, or wild duck s screech, out u veritable steam whistle ; nnd, in tho distance, we can just distinguish a lit tle tug standing nt the dock.

As wo sped among the lily-pnds, rich "with the same ' nutuuiti colore. 1 which the maples wore, wo hud the good luck to find several belated blos soms. The tug was making its way slowly, for the channel was narrow and i winding t and as wo were quite near, 1 fnniiicd that Jlnnd looked enviously nt my tresures.

"It was n flhnini! to piok them,'' ho said, and laid lliem back upon tho water. The steamer now shut ahead, and our guide told us that its passengers would "carry ncross to Jiaglo lake, where another steamer would icceivc them, while our cany was n shorter cnu further up.

On Hluo Mountain hko wo heard the steamer's whistle once more, nnd in tho distance saw its column of smoke and sparks as it puffed off to another part of the shore. We folt like grumbling at our choice of hotels, but it was now too late to change ; so, huugry, tired and disappointed, wo climbed the steep hillside. Our appetites did not fail ua, how ever, (how could tiioy m that air T), and after supper we walked up and do ,vn the broad piazza, looking upon tho moon-lighted lake and mountains with u tinge of sadness as wo thought our outing was so ne irly over, and we mused upon the maiden whoio beamy had charmed us. Next morning wn drove a mile in tho early twilight iu order to take the stage. We found only one unengaged outside seat, and Tom itiistcd on my taking that. Was he really generous or did he have an intuition 9 I asked msclf, as suddenly our acquaintances of yesterday came down the steps and entered the stage. Maud wore her lilies and nodded pleasantly as our eyes met ; but she took a seat directly opposite lorn. It si-emed to me a very uniut re-ding road. 1 saw little out tho black ued trees and tho burnt wildei'iie"-. I wus sadly bored by a uiuumc seat-nriie, but thero was no elianee of relief until wo reached Cedar river, wh-re tho tago was exchange 1 for a Concord couch. I found that Tom had made great advances in tho 'ii-quaint'dnco of tho little paily to which Mum! belonged, and tvhich I now joined. Wu all climbed on top ot tho coach, and though tho sun wa hotter than ever, and the dead trees quito as ghastly, 1 no longer objected to riding outside. Maud s father proved a good-natur ed man. whose hay-imer had driven him to tlio woods ; and on the shore of Haouette lake, he, with Maud aud Jack, had been camping in a bark shinty, and without a guide. They told us ot their experiences in a frank, jolly way, tlut made camping Seoul the niOSt (leslial)lO Kind 01 llIC imninnfibln.

But wo retaliated with u glowing account of our boat trip, which fascinated her, and she immediately implored her father to take her through thu lakes next summer, ohu had learned to hsh, row and swim, though Jack laughed at the idea of her swimming where tho walor wnsn t over her le-ad. bho got enthusiastic over her towing, however; and said she could cook fish .is well aA cateh them, and make splendid pan cakes ! and wo doubted none of her ac complishment, flow swiftly our six horses sped over the rough road I Long before we wished it wo rattled into North Creek, where thu railway station mado us teel that our liappv mountain lite was at au end, We found that our paths would di- verge nt Saratoga, so we made mo Illllhl. nf tlm fiHV llOllI'pt left.

If the wlfo works as hard ns tho hus band, is she not entitled to her fnlr wnge, not m n favor, but ns earnings t Hy tho conditions of tho equal partner ship It is usually tho husband who brings the money into tho concern, lie 19 free to do this because his w'fe as sumes that oaro of house and house hold which leaves him time, brain, and hnnds for remunerative labor. Hut his handling of the money docs not vest its ownership in htm. It is his in trust for the family needs, of which her personal wnnts nre a part. Usually tho wife works harder than tho husband, beeauso his business is simple, and hers complex. The old dictum that a man's work is from sun to sun, but a woman's work is novtr done, is as true, now as In tho days when slio planted tho seed, and weeded tho ground, and spun tho flax, and wove the linen, and mado the garment. Thousands of cultivated women in meiica do tho woik of house ier- vntits, regularly, ciiecrtuiiy, iiunuraoiy, because iliey must, though their bus lmndi iv-mild i.ii-liiinle tint e.nnsent to n corresponding diudgery tor economy s sweeping and dusting, baking, baby n.iiv. in,, i.oiiiiik imiiiuui n ...I.tl.r mil tl-n.ll.trv tending, sewing on the machine, kneading bread, cutting out night- gowns and knickbccKcrH, hearing lit- tie lessons, enlightening little brains, and comforting little hearts are theso such airy pastimes as to bo their own reward t Arc they not worth wages ns certainly as standing behind a counter, or keeping books, or following a trado7 But no Saturday night or last day in tho month brings her stipend to tho woman, ns to tlio man for whom she labors. Ho buvs his stores nud pays for them with a sense of manly iudo- nondence ; sho receives tiers as a favor and kindness from him. Wives who have servants do not the less earn their living. All tho thought nnd cart' which make the housekoepin both economical and elegant, the end less sliuggles with ignorance and in competency below them, the grace and culture nnd reiinement which turn a mere conk-shop, feeding-place, and dormitory into a nome, the possibility f hospiluli'v, th - wise nurture of children, the be nity of the daily life, epetid on the wit". But men who nre libei nl in their dealings with their fel lows, prompt to pay servants' wages, proud to owe no man anything, do not lecognizu the money value of their wives' services, nud bestow ns a bounty what is due n a debt. It is not g'"d for either man or wife that one should be iht- patron, tho other the beneliciari. It is not good that the treasurer of the partnership, tho trustee of the funds, should con duct himself as if lie wero the owner. Whatever portion of tho common in come equitably belongs to tlio Wlfo sho should be paid piomptly nnd regu larly as wages, allowance, or share 'out alwajs as aright, not ns a fav or. In many cases this matter settles it self on a basis ot iiisliee. in many ithers the whole married life of thu wife is passed in abasement of spirit because of her husband's substitution of a false theory of ownership for that of stewardship. Ii is true, of course.tliat theio is a sentimuit in marriage which rates tho serviei s of n wife above a mere money vmV.. But this is nu ad ditiotial reason wiiy they should at least bo acknowledged in money.

Wo may further allude to what Herodotus savs of tho sudden im pulse which seized the Egyptian cats to leap into the fire nnd tho attempts of tho Egyptians to .prevent it. It is related, too, that in whatever house a cat died, all tho family shaved their eyebrows. Diodorus Slculus, more over, records how aKoman, happening one day to nccidently kill a cat, tho mob Immediately assembled round thu house whero ho was, neither the en treaties of somo of the principal men sent by the king nor the fear of tho Komaits, with whom tho Egyptians were then negotiating n peace, being able to save the man's life. In the Middlo Ages the cat was n very itnpor tnnt personage in religious festivals. t Alx, Province, for iuotance, on tho festival of Corpus Christ s the CneH torn cat in the country, wrapped like it child in swaddling clothes,' was pub licly exhibited in a magnificent shrine. Every kneo was bent, every hand eith er strewed tloweiH or poured incense nnd, iu short, thu cat on this occasion was treated in all respects as tho god of the day. In Sicily tho cat is still held sacred to St. Martha ; and it is said that any onewho kills this animal will thereby bnhg upon himselt tinhap piness for seven years. In Germany the cattle and the mouse uro snored to the funeral ot St. Gertrude. These examples, therefore, suflice to show how universal lias been tho homage which man in nil times aud countries has paid tho cat an interesting survi val of primitive culture, when our sim ple ancestors, not having risen to n ear conception of their own preemi nence in the scale of creative life, were only too prono to deify and worship brutes.

How to Form a Reasonable Opinion of the Age of women. go in a woman is a ticklish subject, and I have been talking with an ex pert about it that is to say, a physi cian of heavy and long practice. I re minded him that we can judge of a horse's years by its mouth, and why couldn't some rules bu laid down, in a widely geinral way, as data, to go on in estimating the ago ol a human being : "Do horses wear false teeth t1' the man of medicine answered. "Do they dye their gray hairs, or putty up thu wrinkles in their faces! Seriously, thoro is nobody so expert as to lenrn tho age of a woman with anywhere near exactitude by physical observa tion. Tho uncertainty isn't altogether due to deceptive practices, either, but to the widely varying eftect ot timu lu individuals. As a rule, brunettes look older than blondes of a corresponding age. As to plumpness aud tho lack of it, fat may bo said to increase tho ap parent ngo of a girl under twenty-five, nnd to lessen it in a woman over that ; and the reason is that slenderiiess is girlish as long as it does not produce wrinkles, while rotundity keeps tho skiu taut, and smooth, lsut these uru mere generalities. In no gathering of women, strangers to you, could you guess tlio ages within five years of the average, and in half tho instances you would be ten years out of tho way. I know a woman of thirty with a son of eighteen, aud when out together they nre commonly mistaken for brother and sister. Popular ideas as to tho ages of actresses are extravngnutly er roueous. I could namo several whom I know to bo tremendously outraged by over-estimates. Health is tho only preserver of juvenility. Cosmetics, without exception, are injurious final ly if uot at once. The skin is deaden ed by ungumcnts and powders that fill the pores. Hut, on tho whole, a wo man can t greatly niter her counte- anco ns to its showiuc of her age, hether tho exhibit bo truo or false." Indianapolis Journal. Begging as a Regular Business. In China begging is a regular busi ness, beggars being born into tho pro fession and bringing up their children to it. In every largo city where there a vast association of mendicants, to hich overy ono who begs for ft living must belong. At tho head is ono styled tho Ik'ggar King. His authority is absolute, and to him the thers aro amenable. The society has codo of rules, and by this every beg gar has a right, according to custom, to stand at the door or a dwelling and howl, sing, knock, or make any other noise he pleases, until tho occupant gives him ono cash. Then ho is oblig d to desist and can apply at tho samo place no more that day. No two are allowed to beg together at tho same place, vet they are bo numerous that fuw doors aro frco from their clamor nigs long at a time, lhe proprietors ot largo establishments, who desiro to save themselves from the annoyance of tho continual visitations, do so by pay. nig a certain sum nt onco to tho Jung, who causes n written statement to that effect to bo pasted by tlio side of tho door, and this procures for that houso certain exemption. No beggar dare approach it, lor though few of them can read, all recogni.o the seal of their chief, and if 0110 transgresses he may be beaten by tho occupants of the hotfso, or, being reported to tho King, bo moro severely punished. Every beggar lias his seat, beyond which ho lure not go, and has also ins superior, to who every uight he hands over a certain part of tho days proceeds. Tho overseers iu turn pay to tlio King a fixed sum monthly, which must bo large, ns lie lives like a nabob. If beggar breaks the laws hu Is sent to thu King, who is held responsible by tne city magistrates tor tho good con luct ot all his people. Tho punish meni nu administers is generally to slow for the people who suffer from tho depredations of tho beggars, and when a beggar Ib detected 111 an ot feuse his punishment generally con sists in having his hands tied behind him, boiug drawn up over n limb of the nearest tree and beaten half to death witli sticks, clubs, fists or anything that comes to hand. Kemalo Btiulents aro to bo allowed to compete for positions ns Burgeona in thu Paris hospitals, Saying & Eorso. Thousands of pages of ndvico hnvo been printed iu tho English language nlonc, to teach moil how to judge n horse in an interview ol half nu hour. Probably other languages nre equally rich in similar information. Every veterinary work contains elaborate nd vico, illustrated with ooarso wood cuts, to instruct unaccustomed men to de cide upon tho animal's ago by tho np peatanco of tho teeth. T'ho growth and wear of tho teeth after a horse has passed his sixth year, is a most falla cious guide, nud the practiced horse man and skillful veterinarian will look rather to the general appearance of tho horso ni'd his expression, rather than to tho wear of the teeth. The shapo of tho lower jaw, tho hang of the lips, the nppearnnco of tho eye and the surrounding conformation, tho elasticity of tho skin of tho jowl and other indications govern the judg ment of the expert. In our methods of hoise keeping, overfeeding, irreg ular work, unvt'iitilnted stables and the wreck of the feet nnd injury to thu legs caused by shoeing, work physical changes that maku our horses prema turely old. Most people call a horse old nt 12 years, but in fact that time in his life should be his early prime, cor responding to the ago of 35 years in n man or woman. A horse that has hud a hard life shows tho lines of cave nud age just us they appear iu a man, who has, in youth, drawn drafts upon the powers of manhood. A horse that is vigorous and healthy at 15 or 20 years, aud that has not had his feet ruined may fairly bo counted on for 0 or 8 years ot usefulness. But in buying him, trust him as you would n man, only from thorough knowledge of his character. Do not tnko any man's word about his horse. Tho only safe way is to try him both in the stable and at work. Never judge of him iu harness, always see him moved about in his natural action by the halter ; if he has "bar-shoes" on, they havo been put there to relieve pressure upon corns ; or it tho bar is across tho mid dle of tho hoof, he is a victim to the mcurablo malady of "drop-solo." If leather is used under the shoo ho has a foot that is shaken by concussion. Never buy a horse without trying him at backing, you may find a weakness ir trick in that way. Handsome, healthy-looking, fi n e horses are sold low at city auctions to the aniiizement of thu purchaser, who soon finds that h'4 bargain has kicked a buggy into km III- g wood or is the subj -ct of fits ih r ndanger the life of the driver. Ut' ' t''nugers are found, too late, to h ive incorrigible stable tricks that make them disagreeable to keep. The list of equine vices and weaknesses, mental ,md physical, is a long one; in that icspeot horses dis pute preeminence with their masters. Therefore the only safe wny is to be come acquainted with a horio by trial ; it is worth a larg percentage on the cost to do so. O- buy a horse of your neighboihood that yt-u are thoroughly acquainted with and pay what ho is worth rather than attempt to pick up a bargain among horse-dealers. Keep your horses well, without over feeding; give them regular work in the usual hours ; do not, when shoeing, stipu late to havo shoe- that will last two months, and you will not fiud yourself so frequently iu llm horVo market to buy or exchange, Cor, in Our Coun try Home. Wax Ears for 'Women. Just off tho Bowery iu Now York is a unique sign, "David Dobson.

The falsu ear was delicately painted to ieemblo the nat ural one, and was then fastened on by a spring to tho shreds still remaining. It can be taken off at night and easily fastened, oho paid mo S200 for thu ear and she could atlord it.

At fifteen his father started himself and cider broth . . . . ,,... er in business in a store, without business habits or application, they soon went to ruin. Later, 1'ntnck, be ing idle, fell into dissipation. Then, very early, ho married, and with bis wife aud family lived a life of poverty and want. His oarly habits told ngainst him in later yenrs when his powers of elo quence being discovered, ho was found to be lacking in business qualifications, After hu was a lawyer be could not draw a declaration or plea, or at first maku a motion. And on one occasion when he was to address a paper to tho King, ho did it so poorly that it was set aside, and some one else was ap pointed to tho task. Through nil tho hard and knotty questions that arose after the colonies achieved independ ence, Henry's early acts unfitted him for weighty deliberations.

At which thu railroad official indulg ed iu soiuu remarks which wero not complimentary aud baldly respectful. Tho Judge afterward complainctrto tho president of the road, who promised to look into thu matter But ho found that, although thu conductor might have used hot language, the Chiuf Jus tice was not without fault, and said nothing about it.
