present day tunst giic them almost a
luttch, if not more, trouble than that of
voting ladies who have plunged into a
vortex of gayety, to judge bv ihe adviM -
tisi'meiits of "clerical tailors" which

one of thvsc some interesting Informa
tion may la- gleaned re-j e ling surplices.
Of "the pOi'ket surpUias" we learn that

"made to lie worn with or without*

aud tits smooth round the neck, the slit
with the button allowing the bead In
pass easily thiough." There i- *l-o
another "plain-fitting -urplice." It i
"OIK'II down the front, tils perf.wtli
smooth R -llud the tuvk and shoulders
like the |wicket surplice, and is -o made
Hurt it will uot fall away In front to
show the trousers." "Short Cotta sur
plices are quite plain, and fall lovv on
the shoulders." I "here are also "slightly
g:thered surplices," and "round neck
gathereil surpllws." The former. It is
stated, "have |es. fullue— at the neck
than the eathtwlral sha|ie," while the
latter, which are worn with cassock,
"put i>n over the head, have a very nice
ap|waranee." Any clergy man draw ing
a "round ne k gathered surnllee" over
his fei-t—ln fact, getting into it the
wrong way—will, in the present muddy
condition of the -treets, pre-ent, on the
other hand, i very nasty apiw-aruiiiw,
and prevent the vestment from exciting
those bviings of veneration which, if

Here i- the other, which i- very differ
ent : Clergymen, in the opinion of many
jier>oii. are a body of w ell-clothed.w ell
fed, well (laid men. who have little else
to do but to grow fat on the revenues of
the church. The evidence given at an
inquest held at I-eamlugtou, on the re
mains of a clergy man who died in that
tow ii. discloses a less highly colored
picture of clerical lite. Ihe deceased,
it was stated, lied never obtained pre
ferment, and latterly had derived no
emolument from the church. He wa
a widower, aged seventy-three, and
lodged alone. He had a small aiinuitr,
but tins was forestalled; ami he would
frequently have been without food but
for the kindness of those with whom he
lodged. "1 have lived," he said in a
letter produced at the inquest, "for sev
eral years upon Si. per day. 1 sub-ist
upon bread and milk, bread and cheese,
and cocoa, and have no meat, ale, or
spirits. I have nothing." he added, "to
subsist upon, and 1 do not know how to
supply my neces-ities." This letter
was written in answer loan application
to |iay the debts of his only son, w ho is
a hopeless mental invalid. This unfor
tunate old clergyman was found lifeless
in his room, having died, according to
the verdict of the jury, "from natural
causes."

Those who have never tried the ex
periment rarely aiypreciate tht lieuetit
which an enteiprisiug, progressive me
chanic derive# from keepiug a record
of matters worth remembering. An
intelligent workman, especially one
wild reatls, i- constantly acquiring in
teresting and useful inlormatiuu.
which at some time he will probably
have occa-iou to apply practically in
his business. Almost every day he
learns something new, and aavs to
himself: "I must remenilier this;"
hut unless he has occasion immediately
to apply his knowledge, be is very ant
to forget all alsmt it, or to retain only
a vague recollection of having some
time read or heard something about it.
The memory, unless highly trained
and naturally retentive, is a treacher
ous repository for odd scraps of useful
knowledge not gamed by experience
or personal oh.-ervatiou. and every
inecuanic should have a paper mem
ory, which wiil never let a useful fact
slip away.
We should advise all mechanics, and
especially all young men with un
formed habits who ate learning me
chanical trades, to keep note IMHILS in
which to enter anything woith reuiem-
Iteriug which may come to their
knowledge. Facts learned from obser
vation and experience,or gathered from
conversation with other mechanics,
useful hints gained from books, valu
able suggestions or facts of practical
interest found in newspapers should
always Is- promptly recorded and
saved. When a book is full, ii should
he car> fully indexed and laid away in
some place where it will lie easy of ac
cess. The mere fact of writing, espec
ially if condensation is required, will
tend to fix a fact in the memory, and
give a man a more ready control of
what he knows. In any case, lie ha*
the fact a r command at all times, and
a Immk such as we have described, con
taining the glean togs of years of Htttdy
ami practice, becomes of inestimable
value to the posaewHor. We have seen
mechanic*' note ImmiW* which would
not have been given in exchange for a
whole library of technical work*, ami
we have never known a man to begin
the record of fact* who was not glad
he acquired the habit*
We regard this as a matter of great
practical importance to mechanic* in
the trade* we especially address. No
printed text Isiok* contain ail the
points which a smart mechanic will
pick np in the coarse of his business,
and nothing w ill take the place of a
scrap and note book. Let our readers,
young mechanics especially, try the
experiment, aud we promise them that
they w ill find immediate and life-long
benefit from so doing, it will lie to
many the stepping stone to success in
life, by inculcating careful habits of
acquiring useful knowledge, and mak
ing theui wiser men and better me
chanics than they would otherwise
have become. To all young mechan
ics we say : Never let a fact worth re
membering slip away from you. Make
a note of it in some shape, and then
put it where it will he accessible when
you want it most. The habit is easily
acquired, it need consume no time re
quired for the iierformance of other
and more important duties, ami the
pleasure which it will give will more
than compensate for ttie trouble in

Woman's InUnenro.
Woman's influence differs greatly
from that of man. ller |>ower lies in
her gentleness. In her liaml *he holds
a more jtotent sceptre than that wielded
by the most (silent monarch. In the
great social ami moral reforms that have
lieen carried on from time to time, we
timl that women have taken an active
part. We cannot fail to perceive in the
(Militical history ot Fninee, how tni|M>r
tant was the intliience exerted by
Madame de Stael, in the troublesome
convulsions of the age. Her star shone
brightly, and was not extinguished,
w hen the great conqueror—jealous of
her power—banished her from her na
iv ill.
As woman's influence is so great, her
rvs|x>fisibility i* great in proport 0...
I'(Kin her devolves the duty of training
up the future men of the ualioii. It is
the mother who moulds the character;
muter her gentle influence the youthful
mind receives it- tir-t iinpn —ious. In
society -he i< queen, and too often lures
her subject- to destruction. Too often
the glas- of sparkling wine proffered by
the fair iiand of woman has proved the
utter ruin and degradation of a man
strong in intellect; but who could re
sist the tempting w hen accoiu|iaiiied by
a winning su-.lle? It i- true a man
idiotihi have stamina enough to refu-e
the temptation, but if he has not, woman
-hould not be the tempter. .Many a
wife bitterly deplores the effects of that
tirst glass and many a ehild is cut to
the heart by the knowledge that his
father i* a drunkard.
A woman must Is* careful in her de
(xvrtment. By a word or even a look
she can encourage or effectually check
all attempts at familiarity. If w omen,
and especially girls, would do this—if
they would show tlieir displeasure at
w hat they know is wrong, it would not
Is- rejH-ated in their presence. Though
the uggre—or might feign anger, in his
heart In* would feel more true re#|iect
for one who thu* reproved him than if
she passed his fault unrebuked.

Long before glove* were considered
as elegant necessities, they had their
part in matter* of ceremony and inves
titure, of which but one relic has re
mained to modem time*, in old days,
when writing was little used, formali
ties were more common; thus, one of
the most usual ways of conveying land
was by mean- of what was called fcof
feuut with liberty of seisin, and was
performed "by delivery of the ring or
ba*|M* of the doore, or by a tw igge of a
tree, or a turfe of laud." At the same
time when these formalities were need
ful to the effective conveyance of land
then the only real property—giving
session by the delivery of gloves pro
vailed a* a custom in other countries.
Thus in the eleventh century, some
bishops gained the actual tenure of their
*c< s by accepting a pair of gloves.
Gloves at that time were essentially an
hpiscopal emblem, a* the mitre con
tinues to be. When the old French
kings were crowned, one part of the
| ceremony of the coronation consisted in
the blessing of the gloves; for a long
time investiture by glove remained a
practice in Kastcru countries. There is
a memorable scrap of Oriental history
to -upport the evidence of the existence
jof tins custom. When King Conradin
lost hi- crown through the successful
usurpation of Mainfroy, and the unfor
tunate king had to mount tin- scaffold,
lie addressed the crowd round a>M>ut
him, asserted hi* right to the crown,
' giving as proof of his investitutea glove
which he held in his band, aud then
flung down among the crowd, charging
whoever should pick it up that he would
convey it to son*' of his surviving rela
tions, who would reward the service
and avenge the usurpation. The glove
: was picked up by some knight, who UMk
it to Peter of Arragon, and that king
was crowned at Palermo in virtue of the
investiture of this glove.

If people wish to live well together,
they must not hold too much logic and
supiMise that everything is to 1m; settled
by suilieieiit reason, i)r. Johnson saw
this clearly with regard to married
people, when lie said, "Wretched would
ie the pair above ail names of wretch
edness, who should be doomed to adjust ,
by reason, every morning, all the min
ute details of a domestic day." Put the !
application should be much more gen- 1
eral than lie made it. There is 110 time
for such reasonings, and nothing that is
worth them. And when we recollect
how two lawyers, or two |Militiciuus,
can go on contending, and tiiat there is
no end of one-sided reasoning on any
subject, we shall not be sure that such j
contention is the best mode of arriving
at truth. Put certainly it is not the i
l way to arrive at gtnid ten>ier.

How LONG TO MII.K Cows.—Some
cows settle this que-tiou for tlieir own
ers, and such, unless they are line,
large animals, and calf raising is the
chief use of the cow , should be fatted
and killed at four or tUe years old or
; sold. As a general rule, it is a |>r
, cow that doea not need to be dried olf
betore calving. As to how httie milk
pay* for the trouble of milking, that
depends U|M>n the number of cows, ami
the amount required fur family us*' or
for sale, if the milk is worth four or
live cents a quart, it will pay to milk
every eow that will average two quart*
a day ; if !•'<< than that quantity is ol
taiued, i Would advise to sell oil the
cow.
The practice of half feeding dry cows
Is a poor system. All cows that lire
worth keeping should he well kept;
and any annual with young should lie
as well fed a when giving milk,
though the food need not IM- SO ri h or
oleaginous, as when the uii.k is set lor
cream or used for butter-making. The
rapid taking on of flesli at this [n-riod
is au indication of -ound health.
It you exjwet to have a line calf, slop
milking at all event- six weeks before
the cow wiil come in again. Snnc
cows will give milk the year round if
you allow them, and it is* hard to dry
them belore they make hag anew,
hut thi* should always be done. It will
he found profitable to feed cows well,
and curry them twice a week thor
oughly.
I'OTiIUM FOR lIoKSK*.—I Oltee cattle

keep a hor>c in the right condition.
Many use powders, but js'tatoe* are
U-ttcr, and safer, and cheaper, if fed
judiciously. It those who are not in
the habit of feeding potatoes to horses
will try them, they will be astonished
at the re-ult. 1 have known a horse
changed I roin a lazy, dumpish one, to a
quick, active, headstrong animal, in
live day*, by simply adding two quarts
of |M(tatoes to hi* feed daily. If very
much clear corn meal I* fed, they do
not need so many |*>tatoci>. Too many
|M>tatoes are weakening, and *< are too
inany apple*. When I was a lad, I was
away from school one w inter, and had
the care of one horse, one yoke of oxen,
and one cow, every one of which i had
to card or curry every day. The horse
had three pails of water, four quart* of
oat*, two quart* small potatoes, and
two quart* of corn extra every day he
worked, with what hay he wanted, and
a stronger and more active horse, of

Ilow iiutiiy wretched homes in oar
land! How many heart-broken invalids!
I. ta with many signirie- a mere onerous
existence. All are subject to disease,
but when health is remove*! the ho|e is
nearly gone out. Sb'kiicsa U usually
Incurred through extsisiire or careless
ness. K-|tecially Is this true with those
di-ease- peculiar to woman. Through
her own imprudence and folly she is
made to drag out a miserable existence
a source of auuoyaiiee ami anxiety to
her friends, and any thing but a com
fort and pleasure to herself. Exposure
to the cold at times when she should t>e
iiiot pundent, and overtaxing her body
with laUirtous employment, are both
fruitful causes of many of the maladies
from which she suffers, Gradually the
bloom leaves her cheeks, her lips grow
ashy white, her vivacity departs, the
continually experiences" a l<eling of
weariness and general latignor, and al
together presents a gho-tlv appearance.
M hatdoe* she need? Should she take
aotue stimulating drug, whlch will for
the time make her "/erf t.rtur," or doe*
her entire system demand reparation?
Mte requires something which not only
will restore to health the diseased or
gans, tint will tone ami invigorate the
system. Dr. Fierce'* Favorite Prescrip
tion will do thla. It impaita strength

recollect, as she formerly resided in this
city, is about to estahlisi In Xcw Y'ork

printed in red, white and blue; also a
magnificent National Autograph Al

will bo of great national Interest.
Knowing what we do of Mrs. Delhut's
energy, perseverance and business ca
pacity, we predict for her great sucoesa
in Iter new enterprise. Mrs. I>. lost her
husband In the battle of Fredericksburg,
Va., ami was herself largely engaged in
Government service during the war,
directing and giving employment to
several hundred women la the manu
facture of army clothing, with such re- i
markable ability and fidelity as to re- 1
