t-eren Mviir !u t!;e Life r a Woman.
A mthrr ta carefully putt'ng her
favorite doll to bed. "With tender so
licitude the carefully remotes each
iainty garment and fastens on the. tiny
nightgown. Then, with a fond kiss,
she hugs her treasure to ber and places
it !n its little- cradle. After patting it
for a moment gently, she tip-toes out of
the room as tb twilight peeps curiously
in.
A fair maiden stands before ber look
lag glass adding the last touches to her
evening toilet. Her lover will soon be
here ! Her eyia are full of Innocent
lovelight ! She looks eagerly at her re
flection in the glass I How glad she is
that she is pretty ! Sue frowts a littln
at a crimp that will not stay just as it
should. A ring comes at the door and
she hastens away in the gathering twi
light to meet ber beloved.
A young wife 6ita anxiously watching
for her husband. At each approaching
footstep ber neart teats rapturously and
then grows heavy with disappointment !
She will not go indoors, ii is so sweet
out there ! The creeping shadows cheer
her trembling soul so she waits and
wi-b.es and the shadows lengthen into
Marketed night.
A mother is rocking her baby to sleep.
He looks at her gravely while thev
move to and fro, as if asking why the
t right sunshine must leave and the ugly
shadows hide fcer dear face from him.
There is a wealth of wisdom in his
great sweet eyes ! He holds tightly to
her drees as If to keep her cear him !
W hen at last his eyes are closed, she
disengages the loving hand, kisses him
lightly be must not be awakened and
arose to put him into his crib. Then
she sinks back Into her chair and begins
to rock him again. It la so pleasant to
rest In the twilight and he is so sweet
to nurse t
A woman kneels by a fresh made
grave. The headboard stares coldly at
her and seems to say over and over
again the words inscribed upon it : "He
was her only ch.U and she was a widow.
With tear-laden eyes she bends down
lower and lower, till her lips rest upon
the earth. She longs to kiss the quiet
form it is hidicg from her ! And the
the twilight seems to hurry past herand
gladly lose itself In the darkness.
A care-worn old woman sits watching
the shadows come they are friends to
her friends that she welcomes for
they always sing the same song to her,
"One day nearer home." And as she
amiles to them her thanks, she, too, re
peats "One day nearer borne." And so
life woman's life goes on In the twi
light till rest cornea to her weary body
and joy to her aching heart till her
spirit reaches its heme, where never a
shadow can fall npoo it.
A Steep Climb.
For the first time for a number or
years the Sigirl rock in Ceylon has been
scaled by a European, the feat ou thi
occasion being performed by General
Lennox, who commands the troops in
the island. It is said, indeed, that onlv
one other European. Mr. Creasy, ever
aucceeded iu reaching the summit. The
rock is cylindiical in shape, and the bul
ging sides render the ascent very did
cult and dangerous. There are caller-
ies all round, a groove about four inches
oeep being cut in the solid rock. This
rises spirally, and In it are Gxed the
foundation bricks, which support
platform about six feet broad, with
chunam-coated wall about nine feet
high. The whole structure follows the
carves and contours of the solid rock
and is cunningly constructed so as t
make the most of asv natural support
the formation cau afford. In some olac
ea the gallery bas fallen completely
away, but it sti'.l exhibits flights of
marble steps. High upon the rocks aie
several azures of ;Buddha ; but it is a
mystery how the artist got there, or
how, beng there, he was able to carry
on his work. The fortifications consist
of platforms, one above the other, sup
ported by massive retaining walls, each
commanding the other. Owing to the
falling away of the gallery the ascent
in parts had to be made op a perpendic
ular face of the cliff, and General Len
nox and four Datives were left to do the
latter part of the ascent alone. The
top they found to be a plateau about; an
acre in extent in which were two square
tanks, with sides 30 yards and firteeo
feet respectively in length, cut out of
the solid rock. A palace is believed to
have existed on the summit at one time;
although time, weather and the jungle
have obliterated all traces of it. Dur
ing the descent the first comer bad to
gnide the foot of the next into a aafe
fiasnre ; but all reached the bottom
safely In about two and a half hours.
Many of the so-called cheap cuts of
meat are preferable ; for instance, the
shoulder of mutton is much more deli
cate than the leg, and, as few persona
know, the price is low. The EaalUb,
who of all people know what good mut
ton is, always give the leg to the house
hold, and save the shoulder for guests
or first table. However, meat Is not
the only thing you mual learn to choose.
Cood eggs may be quickly designated
by their dull shell and clear appearance.
An old, or stale egg, as a rule, has a
dull porous looking shell. The flesh of
fresh fish should be firm, the gill should
be light red and the scales silvery and
clear and the eyea full and bright.
A divine benediction is always in
visibly breathed ou prinful and lawful
diligence. Thus, the servant employ
ed in making and blowing of the fire
(though sent away thence a soon as it
burnetii cleat) ofttimes getleth by bis
pains a more kindly and continuing
beat than the master himself, who sit
tith down by the same ; and thus per
sons industriously occupying them
selves thrive better on a little of their
own honest getting than lazy heirs on
the large revenues left unto them.
Tut this lemon sponge. It is easy to
make and is always liked Soak one
ounce of gelatine in one pint of boiling
water until d (solved ; then pour on it
one pint of boiling water, the juice of
three lemons and sugar to taste. When
thoroughly mixed beat to a white froth
and add the whites of four eggs, well
beaten. Heat all together until quite
stiff, put in molds wet with water and
at on the fee.

The Rose aa Emblem of Lore.
Tbis flower, so manreloas in forao,
color and fragrance bas lnstinctlTcly
won the lore and admiration of men.
Tbe lover saw ia the red rote a fair ea
btem of bis own feelings, and laid it
secretly upon tbe altar or Yen as ; wbil
the pare white loses made them a fit
symbol of chaste virgins. In Italy It is
a yery popular custom, all oyer tbe
kingdom, tbe bodies of departed friends
are covered with white roses as they are
borue in open biars to their last resting
places. All tbe anciant masters of med
icine speak of tbe rose with great rever
ence. In Chinia a small bag filled with
rose leave is a tailsman to secure tbe
bearer against diseases. Tbe Pope coti
aecratea on the Sunday called Dominica
in ruso, tbe third Sunday before Easter
a golden rose, which be bestows as a
special sign of favor upon a church or
crowned bead. In IdoC the Empress
Eugenie received this work of approba
tion on tbe occasion o? the christening
of ber son, aad in 18C7 Isabella of Spain
was so honored, not because of ber vir
tues, but as an acknowledgment of ber
liberal contributions to tbe Papacy.
In France rosos were once so highly
revered that only certain privileged
classes were permitted to raise them in
their gardens.
In olden times In many portions of
Europe, rose water waa an indispensa
ble seasoning for most delicate disbes,
and roasc meats were never eaten with
out a large quantity of tbst esteemed
liquid essence. Tbe bnmblest citizen
in former days was by law bound to
present bis daughter, on ber wedding
day. at lease with a chaplet of roses,
though be might not be able to make
ber any other present. Hoses were
prominent elements of Roman Inznry.
At an entertainment which Cleopatra
gave, the floor was covered three feet
deep with roses, over which nets had to
be spread to make walking possible.
Europe bad early a great variety of
roses, to which the crusaders added
some fine varieties, brought from
tbe East, as the fragrant Damask rose,
from Damascus, tbe largest and one of
tbe sweetest of tbe whole family.
When Columbus landed on our shores,
be foend Ibe rose here also in matchless
beauty.
It wll be remembered by your readera
that the last Napoleon abowed a special
fondness for his roses at Fontaineblean,
of which be knew every one. Tbe em
press shared this fancy, and bence it
was that tbe Prince of Wales presented
ber, daring the last empire. In acknowl
edgment of ber cordial hospitality, a
magnificent basket of gold which con
tained every known rose.
There Is said to be historical facta to
prove that a certain rose bush in Ger
many, still bearing flowers In summer,
was cberised and cared for by a noted
Bishop nearly a thousand years ago.
Tins Twelve Dollars a Dozen.
From tbe article entitled "Hard
Times in tbe Confederacy" in tbe Sep
tember Century we quote tbe following :
In August, lt4. a private citizen's coat
and vest, made of five yards of coarse
homespun cloth, cost two hundred and
thirty dollars exclusive of the price
paid for the making. The trimmings
consisted of old cravats ; and for cut
ting and putting together, a country
tailor charged fifty dollars. It is safe
to say that tbe private citizen looked a
veritable gup in bis new suit, in spite of
its beavv dram upon bis pocket-book.
In January, 1S5. tbe material for a
lady's dress which before tbe war,
would have cost ten dollars could not be
bougLt for leas than five hundred. Tbe
masculine mind is unequal to tbe task
of guessing bow great a sum might have
been bad for bonnets brought in the
lines ; for in spite of patient self sacri
fice and unfaltering devotion at tbe bed
aides of the wounded in the hospital, or
in ministering to tbe needs of relatives
and dependents at borne, the Southern
women of those days are credited with
as keen an interest In the fashions as
women everywhere in civilized lauds
are apt to be in times of peace. It waa
natural that they should be so inter
ested, even though that interest could
in the main not reach beyond theory.
lthout It tbey often would bave bad a
charm the .esa and a pang tbe more.
Any feminine garment in the shape of
cloak or bonnet or dress which chanced
to come from tbe North, was readily
awarded its meed of praise, and repro
duced by sharp eyed observer, so far as
tbe scarcity of materials would aomit.
But fashion 'a rulea were necessarily
much relaxed in the Southern Confed
eracy so far aa practice went when even
suco articles aa pins biougbt through
the olockade sold for twelve dollars a
paper, and needlea for ten, with not
enough of either.
Care af Horses.
Hmember that oue of the most im
portant point in the care of farm horses
is to feed regularly. If you drive your
horse until mid afternoon before be
gets bis noon meal yoa may expect a
lank looking aoima! the next day. A
thorough rubbing and a currying is as
a-ential to the well being of a bone as
a feed. It ia an old saying that a good
grooming is equal to four quarts of oats.
The horse might think this not more
than half true, but unless your animals
are at pasture or where tbey can rub
and roll themselves, grooming is neces
sary. A writer in tbe Rural Xevs Yorker
aays few farmers kow tbe value of pea
straw as a wisp to rub with. It Is aa
nearly an equal of the currycomb aa
anything. He feeds carrots at noon
during the working season, and attri
butes to this cause tbe fact that be bad
not bad a sick horse for years, lie salts
twice a week and feeds nothing at noon,
but regularly at six in tbe morning
and at the same hour at night for ten
months of tbe year. Tbe two hardest
working months be feeds at noon also.
Many of the best fashion pSaUs are
now engraved from actual photographs
of models who pose in the rarmenta. tn
make the pictures as life-like as possi
ble. We have at last found out why rretty
things are called knobty." Its be
cause tbey are sotnethins to a door.

The Longest and Shortest Livers.
It appaars that the most reCned aud
polished nations bavs no iTOLtiinancc
over savage tribes in longevity. Lear-
ng out caases of destractioa insepara
ble from the habitudes of barbarous
races, tbe A.fricaos and Indians often
attain extreme old aire. Humboldt
gives native American Indians long
ives. He speaks of an Indian woman
who died at Cbiquata aired 143 years.
and her husband died at the age of 117.
lie also speaks of a Peruvian who, when
130 years old, walked daily fonr leagues.
Fnchard, on the longevity of the ne
groes, speaks of Robert Lynch, the
property of Sir Edward Hyde East, who
diedat Sc. John's at tbe age of 130.
Numerous other instances are given of
the great age of this race In the United
States. Dungleson's "Human Tlf.alth"
says : "Throughout tbe United btates
tbe number of colored people who are
reported to attain tha age of 100 years
and upwards, bears a large ratio to tbe
whites."
Kings and Emperors are not char
acteristically Ion? livers. Out of two
hundred Roman and German Emperors
only four lived to the age of eighty yef r '.
Tbe same holds good with Ecclesiastic
al representatives. Out of over three
hundred Popa only five arrived at the
age of 80. Monks and hermits, on tbe
contrary, by temperance ond rectitude, j
strict regimtn and prayer, including
the Baving virtue of starvation, arrive
at patriarchal ages. Foets and artists,
it seems, bave long leases of life, be
cause of their occupation which leads
them to be conversant with tbe sports
of the fancy and self-created world,
whose whole life is an agreeable dream.
Philosophers, tt seems, atu'n great age,
especially such as are occupied with the
study of nature aud the discovery of
new and divine truths. It appears from
tables that miners and doctors are
among the shortest livers miners from
long exposure to poisonous efiluvia ;
physicians in serving others are con
sumed, in healing others are destroyed.
Tbe rate of mortality among practising
physicians is grbater. .perhaps, than
among men of any other profession.
Tbe most extraordinary instances of
longevity are to be found only among
those classes of mankind who, amidst
bodily labor and in tbe open air, lead a
simple Ufa agreeable to nature. Each as
farmers, gardeners. Hunters, soldiers
and sailors. In these situations man
still attains the age 140 and even 150
years. Frankenberg, a Dane who was
a aaaman. lived to be 14G years old.
Effiirjgaam, an Englishman, born poor,
brought up to labor, and who ended his
days as a laborer, died in tbe 144ch year
of bis age. It. Glenn, a shoemaker,
who lived at Tacony, Dear Philadelphia,
lived to be 114 years old. There are
many thousand instances of simple,
laborious children of nature who bave
lived to a great age. It is not tbe rich and
great, not those who take gold tincture
and wonder-working medicines who be
come old, but laborers, farmers, mari
ners, and such men as, perhaps, never
in their lives employed their thoughts
on tbe meana which must be used to
promote longevity.
How to Xake Cucumber Tickles.
Tbe first pickles are always the best.
Select plump, freshly picked cucumbers,
of any size desired. Take water enough
to cover them well ; add salt enough to
make a brine that will bear up a potato
until it can be seen above the surface of
tbe brine, about the size of a ten cent
piece ; pour this boiling hot over tbe
pickles do not cover them, but when
cold lay something on that will keep
them under tbe brine, as those that
float will become soft ; leave them
twenty-four hours, then draiu them
and cover with boiling water ; let them
stand also twenty-four hours, keeping
them under tbe water. Tbe third day
drain and pack in stone jars. To a
three gallon jar put in enough pickles
to fill about one-third full, then a
layer of sliced onions, then a cheese
cloth bag about eight or ten inches
square, in which put a small tablespoon
ful of black pepper, two ounces stick
cinnamon broken rather small, half
tablespoonf ul of cloves ; mustard seed
mace or any other flavoring may be add
ed. Horseraddish cut in strips, and
three or fcur red peppers may also be
added. Then repeat pickles, spices,
etc. Cover all with boiling cider vine
gar, as weak as will keep the pickles. I
generally add half water to tbe vinegar
or more. If too sour, tbe pickles are
not good and they become soft. Tbe
scalding hardens them and also makes
them green ; the spices preserve tbem
from moulding. As soon as they are
cold tbey should be covered to keep
them well under the vinegar and the
jars also covered to keep out dust, and
they must be kept in a very cool place.
Do not wash tbem at first, as handling
breaks the skin and they will not keep
as well. Stirring tbem once or twice a
week is a good plan, as it prevents
mould from gathering.
Fall Chicks.
Now is the time to get broody hens in
order to get a supply of pullets for early
spring laying. Pullets batched during
the next few months will begin laying
in February and March, and tbe first to
begin will want to sit by the last of
March. In sitting bens in hot weather
it is best to make a nest or. the ground,
or if this is not practicable line a box
with sod, dire side up. Sprinkle with
water containing a solution of carbolic
acid. Make the cest on top and sprink
le with sulphur, and you need have no
fear of lice.
If you have any newly batched chicks
that seem droopy, and you not taken the
above precautions against lice, examine
their beads at once for the so-called
botcher lice. To destroy them anoint
beads with your fincer dipped in lard.
Repeat the third day and treat the
breast, body and wings of tbe mother
hen to a like process.
We had rather do anything tnan
acknowledge the merit of another if
wo can help it. We cannot bear a
superior or an equal. Hence ridicule
ia sure to prevail over truth, for tl e
malice of mankind, thrown into the
j bcule, s'.ves tbe cystine weight.
