j WOJWS Til UN AND NOW. A DEFENSE TIIE TRUE WOMAN IJi THE FREE AM EKICAN HOMES. Mr. Ceorge William CutlU uelivertd a lecture iu docketing hull, Nw York, for tbo benefit t.f tlio Voting Women's Chris tiaa Association. The thcmo selected by tbo lecturer was "Women in Old and New Times," aud in the course cTLi3 discourse be said : The past is always tbe golden age. The glamour of distance makes beauty more beautiful, and valor more heroic ; and pro saic fate seems to bave tin own us on tbe lees of time and in tbe world's decrepitude. While we read, history and poetry seems full of the heroic. Philip Sidney, bending frjm hW saddle to offer a cup of cold water to tbe wounded soldier, was a hero. Hut sco that ijunncr at Gettysburg, who, falling wounded and tortured by thirst, called out : "Johnny ! Johnny! for tbe love of God a drop of water 1'' "Ah, Jemmy, there is not a drop in my canteen, and if I go to get any the enemy will take tbe gun." "No matter, Johnny, tan 1 to your gun and when tbo line mo-ed for ward it moved over Jemmy's dead body. Three hundred years ago it would have been as beautiful a self-sacrifice as Philip Sidney's. All that was best in tbo old time wo have row. So cspciicnce interprets history and poetry, and the tiuth of to day scatters the glamour of tbe past. All ages have been deplored. We see to-day ap palling extravagance and luxury. They cry, "Tbe dress of a fashionable woman costs her husband thousands of dollars ! It was not so in tbe simple old times." Soft ly, softly. Queen Elizabeth, happy owner of 3,000 dresses, issued a proclannion fga;ust extravagance. We bewail a de generate society so sordid, 60 gross. Our j outig men are only fit, it is aid, to smoke cigars and play billiards ami talk slang ; enr young women to be French dolls perch ed upon high heeled shoes, pinching their tvabts almost to a vanishing point, piling high upon their beads dyed tow and horse bair, making an afTection of simplicity, but were they simpler in the old limes? Dick Steele, in his account of tbe mock iial of a young woman for wearing a nios trou silk petticoat embroidered with dia monds, says that when the judge ordered ic dia.vii r.p with pnllcys, it covered the p'aco where tbe judges were sitting wflb a hilken rotunda like St. Peter's. We cry out against political corruption, r4 justly fear for the moral foundations of tbe government. 1 have seen a man in thn lobby of the Legislature brandish batik bills, and openly boast, "That makes tbe laws !'' While I winced, I remembered that in the time of Walpole the British king bongTit men a3 he would haunches of meat. When foolish imagination sighs for the old time, it forgets that the old time was cruel, superstitious and gross. The men of tbe old times hated personal, polit ical and religious liberty ; they were times when the men died faster iu the open coun try than in the dirtiest lane of our city to day. The whole progress of civilization is in the emancipation from the theories and manners of the old time. Who do not excuse our own age, bnt when we sigh for it return of the past let ns remember that rts greatest glory was divine discontent with those limes. Ono commanding and supreme indication of the woild's progress is its higher and better estimate of women Tbo pn:.tkn of woman is always the test of society. To-day as I stand in the ample halls of some great school, filled w ith tbo hum of industrious and happy life, I remember that in (he girl of tbe age of I'ericles all scholastic diligence would have been accepted as evidence of evil design, In the golden age of Athens the most ac eomplishcd woman belonged to an out lawed class. Jlr. Curtis then humorously described tbe discussions that were carried on in Dean Swift's tirre as to whether it would bo prudent to marry a woman who had good natural sense, somo taste, and was aWc thread Hnderstandingly the litera ture of the day. It was said that there were radical objections against an intelii gent wife ; that t lie natural levity of wo men needed a ballast of ignorance and stupidity. And such was the tenderness of the sex that the women consented to re main in ignorance that they might be equal to their husbands. Th:s was slow to ehnngo. Not more than sixty years ago Sidney Smith spoke of the disparity be tween the knowledge of men and women, and intimated that women should cultivate household duties to the exclusion of all other acquirements. "That is an insulting idea of woman," said tbo lecturer, "which makes her happy when her husband brings Tier home a bracelet and screaming w hen a mouse hops aci oss tbe Moor. She is not tbo fino lady of the fashion plates, Hebe, joyous with health and pouting nectar, fitly married to Hercules, strongest of the gods. Is the Poi tia Sbakspcare has drawn beautiful because a wise young judge, less truly feminine than Juliet whispering her love from a balcony ?" 3Ir. Cwrtisskotchod the great caution with which t7ie Pilgrims and early settlers of New England deait out a little education to their gills, and in a strain of the keenest irony told how Boston, tiembling for the bulwaiks of fieedonv opened a brgh school fur girls, and stood aghast at the immense attend ance upon it and the eager acceptance of its privileges. The notion that the educa tion and usefulness of women should be eon fined to home, simply because men had ail idea that that was her "sphere," was ridiculed and disposed of by argument and copious illastrntion, "Yesterday is gone and to-day has come. The fretted slave of Greek, households, and the idle toy and doll of the age of Chesterfield, has given place to a better idea ; and we go forwaid with God's help to find the tine woman io the free American homes." jrn. JIoodt saj's man is a fail are, Probably Sir. Moody never eaw a young man play base ball all day, and billiards ftalf tbo night, and get up the next morn iug and javr around an hour because his mother didn't put more stiffening into his Ldrt bosom.

A correspond ent of the New England Farmer tells how he eradicates weeds, as follows : Some fifteen years ago I turned up an acre of rich land and sowed it at the proper season with rye. It came up perfectly well and promised a good crop. In the spring it looked very flourishing, but there soon appeared multitudes of weeds which continued to flourish till, at the time for harvest, they were much more conspicuous than the rye. After threshing, the straw, which I usually valued more than the grain, sold very ill, hardly at half the usual price in Boston. The rye itself was full of seeds, many of which refused to bo separated by the winnowing. I determined to avoid this evil if I could ; bo I ploughed tip an acre, next to that which had served me so ill, let it lio until next spring, and waited till a rich crop of weeds sprang up, which, when they were live or six inches high, I ploughed in, and waited till another crop of somewhat later weeds were in the same condi tion ; these were ploughed in, and af terward a third crop of the latest weeds were served in the same man ner. It was then sown with rye and produced the cleanest and most beau tiful and luxuriant crop I had ever seen. I have no doubt that the three crops of weed3 did the land more good than an ample covering of barn man ure would have done. The same.courso essentially pursued since has been equally successful. My crop of rye this season was the best and largest I have ever had, and the straw was the best perfectly clean. LT003 Need SrLrnrnt. "Whether hogs require sulphur U3 an essential to health, or whether it is sought by them as a condiment, may not be dis covered. Hat one thing is true, they devour it with greed whenever it i3 to be found. It is for this purpose prob ably that they can eat large quantities of soft coal, which contains a large amount of sulphur. Perhaps this i3 the most economical method of sup plying hogs with sulphur during win ter, wlien they require a good deal ci carbon. But in summer it is best to feed it to them in substances which contain less carbon, on account of their producing less heat. Mustard is one of the best things for this pur pose, and some of it should be sown in every pasture into which hogs aro turned. If hogs are kept In, or aro la small yards, it is well to supply them with the wild mustard that grows in the fields or highways, of to culti vate some of the " better varieties fur them.- They will eat its leaves, its flowers, seeds,and stalk3. Hume Jour lal. Wrsr-OALLS. Windgalls an the legs of a horse are the result of severe work, making them draw heavy loads, or driving them long distances without rest, producing irritation of the sin ews of the legs, causing an increase in the secretion of synovia, or, as it is more familiarly called, "joint oil," and an exceso of this is shown in the small protuberant sacs, or windgalls. To cure these, take the animal from hard work and apply pressure to the affected parts. A good way to do this is to fold pieces of soft, wet rags, add ing ono drachm each of opium and camphor. Tat these upon the galls, and bind on with a wide bandage. I5y constant pressuro applied in this man ner the galls may be driven away. Ti.e bandages may be taken off when the animal is taken out of the stable, but should be put on again as soon as h" is returned. Let this treatment bo k?pt up until a cure is effected. Epizootic. horse with the epi zootic should be carefully blanketed, kept out of all drafts of winds, be fed Itghtly with pood hay and carrots, or other vegetables, Riven no cold water, but all he will drink of water with tho chill taken off, or tepid water. A fire ehovel full of hot ashes from the stove Is good to throw into the water once a diy; in effect it loosens the phlegm and false membrane, which accumu lates in the throat, lungs, and stom ach. A handfull of scalded bran is also good to add to each bucketful of water the horse drinks. No other medicine is advised, if the bowels can bo kept regular with bran mashes and vegetable or green feed. Rest to a horse in this condition ia requisite to a speedy cure. A little gentle exer cise is all that should be allowed, and by no means should fast driving or hard pulling be allowed, even for a short time. Frtjit Garden. Fruits and vege tables are often planted together, tho small fruits,sueh as blackberrics.rasp berries, etc., are put alonff the fence rows, and it is no wonder that in such spots the fruit is poor in quality and quantity. Where it is possible the two gardens should be separate, as this al lows better culture for both fruits and vegetables. There is nearly always some wall or building against the sheltered side of which may be planted one or more grapo vines. The border should be dug out, and properly filled with good, fresh soil, and if any fer tilizer is used, let it be broken bones. In two or three years a fine crop of fruit may be gathered. There 13 no excuse for a lack of fruit on any farm in the country ; there are numerous places around every farm-house,whero small fruits may be easily grown, if a little pains is taken. Villagers with small lots manage to have an abund ance of fruit, but large farms aro toe often lacking in this. tiGoa. it is saw tnat coiiodion is a good varnish, by means of which the cause of tho decay in eggs, viz. : the porosity of the 'shell, and hence ac cess of air to the interior, may be pre vented. Mr. S. Martin, mentions that the soundness of eggs may be tested, by immersing them in water contain ing 30 per cent, of common salt in solution ; in this brine good and sound eggs sink, while bad eggs float. To make hens lay in winter, give them a warm place to roost and plen ty of meat, vegetables and other rich and good food. Jiut if the hens are old and have been laying all summer it is doubtful if they will continue to do so during the coldest weather.
