My name la Harrington Hinton. I believe at one time some of my friends had serious fears that r would never bn. ter the State of matrimony. At all events, each friend knew some one who would make mesuoh a nice wife. What had I done to be so unmercifully persecuted ? X remember one evening I was reques ted to make myself agreeable to a young lady, at tbe house of a friend. “So amiable,’’ said our hostess, and when presented, I found her all “my fanoy painted her,” and more also. Bo much amiability and flesh combin ed was more than I could comprehend at one and tbe same time. Notwithstand ing I was told her father’s money bags would balance them, I had my own Ideas on that score, although I kept them to myself. One may makes good many points that way through life. As I have said, X had my own ideas of a wife, I knew I should And somewhere In this great world a woman pure as a snow drop, and modest as a daisy, with a sweet voice and dainty ways. With eyes that might flash, yet be controlled by the gentle power of love. Keller. Notwithstanding the match-making propensities of my frler.de, I remained steadfastly a bachelor until thirty, and enjoyed heartily my single blessedness. The ladles will think doubtless that dur ing this time my garments were without buttons- and my hosiery with more than the proper aperntures, but auoh was not tho ease. Mrs. Vail, my landlady, being in charge thereof, She was a very nice housekeeper, and a woman , who had seen better days, or at least happier ones, if one might judge from occasional re marks made by her, and the fact that she occupied a bouse of her owp—a three story brick—on a pleasant street, away from the business part of the good old city of Boston. I had breakfast and lea at the house, but dined down town ; for, being bead olerk in a large wholesale house, I found It necessary to look promptly after the Interests of my employers, considering likewise I was working for myself, as X expected to be one of the partners (he next year. At Mra. Vnil’e, my room wae the sec ond story front, and afforded me a good view of all that transpired in the street, and as I wae not acquainted with my neighbors, nor even knew their names, used to sit summer nights In a comforta- hie easy chair by the window, smoking fragrant cigars, building castles In tho air, and watching the occupants over the way, Some one at my elbow says, “ I ougbi to have been ashamed of myself,” but I do not know that I have ever regret ted It. I discovered that a beautiful girl gli ded gracefully about the house, in drape ry (bat seemed to envelop her like a delicate summer cloud. I noticed her' little caressing waye about the loved ones, and of course U must have been the maiden fair to see,” whose Voice X heard trilling awayfas only birds and maldena can. I am a man who cannot even now re sist paying homage to every bit of wom anhood I eee, therefore when this pleas ure was to be my eveulng’aentertalnment can you wonder that I remained at home, nothing else offering any attrao tlon 7 I ventured to ask one morning who our neighbors were over the way, whereupon Mrs. Vail said; “ Oh! that Is Mr. Forrest’s house. They have lived there for many years, for I remember their daughter Grace, when she was a little, wee thing—she used to look so sweet In her white frock and corals, 1 ' I thought to myself she was Just as sweet now as she was then, If not sweet- 11 X have heard," continued Mrs. Vail, " that when young, ahe was a aomumu bullst, but she may have got over It. I’ve not beard It lately. I’m very little ac quainted with them, but It's a good thing to know one’s neighbors, In case of Cr« or accident happening,” which sensible remark finished, I roamed In fancy with the beautiful unknown, while vlaloseof operas and hair-breadth . escapes were mingled In delightful confusion. “ Bather a dangerous young lady to marry, Mrs. Vail,’’ said I, my dream being over. the Bjlnnte^ BY JOHN B.

"Well, not at present,” said 1., I've nothing to live on, and, of course, must have ten thousand a year at first.” All day long I thought of Qraoe, and I immediately after lea sought my room [ and looking glass to take an Inventory of my personal attractions. I came to the conclusion that I was a good looking fellow, and. I’d go in and win—lf I could* But I must tell you of myself, and leave you to judge. I am not what the ladles call a love, and a perfect little dear of a man. On the contrary, I am tall, rather stout, with fair complexion, hazel eyes and brown hair, that, although out short, will curl 4n spite of fate; a mouth too womanly for one of the sterner sox, and teeth that render a smile Irresistible. Mon know when they are admired. My business matters wore all right and there was nothing on. my mind but the admiration of one of the fairest of New England’s daughters. -Glorious spring time of life, flying so swiftly that we long for the far famed elixir of perpetual youth and vigor. I took my post at the window, and ob (served that the family were moving about, dressed as If to receive company. I My heart beat fast with, jealous fear. Perhaps some lover is expected, or it might be a marriage. “Have I then, wasted my time," I soliloquized, “ while some miserable fel low: has walked In and borne away the prize 7” Just then Grace entered the room more ever, and very soon the guests began to arrive. They danced and sang, and was In a fine stale of misery as I watched the a 1 tentlons bestowed upon Grace. I wa'i ed-until every guest had departed, and satisfied myself there was no whispered good night for any favored one. After every light had disappeared I was still disinclined for Bleep, spite of the mor rows duties. X sat as If moonstruck, thinking of the future, and wondering how I might gain entrance to its, to me, enchanting portals. It was past midnight, and I was gaz- I tig at the innumerable stars eblning so far away in the deep blue heavens, when my attention was attracted by the ap pearance of a ghostly looking figure gli. ding about over thereof of our neigh bor’s house. “ What In tbe name of common sense Is that?’’ I asked myself, and rubbed my eyea to see if X mlght-be dreaming; but no, it was still flitting from one aide to tbe, other, ae if searching for some thing lost, but at last came to the ewe trough, and.depositing it in, turned and glided away as swiftly as It bad appeared. I remembered Mrs. Vail's words, and re solved that the woman X intended to bestow my name upon should take no more nocturnal rambles. Concluding I ‘ had seen quite enough for one night, I sought my pillow and wne soon asleep. Glancing at the paper next morning, while waiting for breakfast, my eye fell on'the following advertisement: Reward. —Any person giving infor mation leading to the discovery of a full eetof coral, taken from the residence of James Forrest, Chestnut street, will be liberally rewarded.” “Now,” thought I, I’ll attend to that little matter myself, with all the pleasure In the world.” The fates were at last propitious. My actions must have been strange, however, as Mrs. Vail kindly Inquired If I was ns well as usual that morning. Once at my place of business, X re marked that our neighbors over tho way had been robbed the evening previous. “What, James Forrest?” asked one of the clerks. “Hels a lawyer and has an office on Court street. He’s a fine old chap—got a pretty daughter and lots of tin.” I decided to call on Mr. Forrest, and on reaching bis cilice found him alone and disengaged. I introduced myself and told him what I had seen, and that from motives of delicacy for the young lady I bad not mentioned it, but thought I would come and Inform him of my suspicions. “That you may heartily," said he. "I can easily obtain the missing articles, and if you like, I shall take pleasure in j Introducing you to my family. If not otherwise engaged, suppose you come over this evening.’' Wasn’t I a jolly fellow on leaving that office? Perhaps I didn’t congratulate myself that I was naturally of an inqui sitive disposition. I could not whistle of course, nor smoke cigars—that was against the law—so X walked directly back to my business; trying not to look too radiant; but I was so kind to my in feriors that the clerks thought I bad been imbibing, or bad received a legacy. I had never had even a passing fancy for any lady of my acquaintance, and had thought all women were about alike as regarded beauty, But the name of Urace seemed the roost musical in the world. I repeated it softly over to my self while dressing for my visit, and when ready to go, took one more look in the glass, and called myself an Idiot, for it occurred to me the admiration might be all on one side. I passed tho evening In the presence of Grace Forrest, and went home more hopelessly In love than ever. The days flew like a pleasant dream, and every evening found me a welcome visitor ut Mr. Forrest’s house. I found the family well informed, refined, and of the opin ion that Boston was the “ Hub" and also the “ Modern Athens,” I was Invited to attend church, and then to drive, whlqh Invitations were seconded by a blush and smile from Grace that always settled the question. One evening after tea, we adjonrned to the drawing ' room and were chatting pleasantly when Mrs. Forrest was called from the room to attend to one of the younger members of the family, and soon Mr. Forrest followed suit as uncere moniously as If I were an old friend. Was ever snob an opportunity given a man ? I concluded then and there to know my fate. " Grace," said I—l had taken the lib erty of addressing her thus before—'* did yon recover the articles purloined from your Jewel box 7" “ Oh, you saw that, did you 7 Yes, I got them, but papa was very quiet about it, and would say nothing about the re ward." ••Well,” said I, “ I know something about that myself, and if I thought. I should not offend, I might tell you.” " I know papa would not care," said Grace, •’ for he told me to find out, if I could.” . " I believe then,” said I, “ that I win claim the reward, as I am the man who Informed your father of their hiding place.” “I am sure I thank you very much," said Grace, “ but the idea of offering you, a reward—” " Oh, I shall claim orto,” I interrup ted, growing bold. “It is this little hand.” But X shan't tell you how she a»- swered, or what more was said, only the old folks opened the door very un expectedly, while my arm was about her, and her head upon my shoulder. I heard some very pleasant words from Mr. and Mrs. Forrest, but In the excitement I forgot them. I flattered myself it was very well done, and Grace, learning the whole story after marriage; concluded to pro menade In future in day-light, and in full dress. Care of Our Eyes, Multitudes of men and women have made their eyes, weak for life by the too frequent use of the eyesight, reading flne print and doing flne sewing. In view of these things, it Is well to observe the fol lowing rules in the use of the eyes i Avoid ail sudden changes between light and darkness. Never read by twilight on a very cloudy day. Never sleep fjo that on waking the eyes shall open on the window. 'Do not use the eyesight by light to' scant that it requires an effort to discrim inate. Never read or sew directly in front of the light of a window or door. It is best to have light fall from above, obliquely over the left shoulder. Too much light creates a glare and pain and confuses the sight. The moment you are sensible of an effort to distinguish, that moment stop and talk, walk or ride. As the sky is blue and the earth green; it would seem that the ceiling should have a bluelsh tinge, the carpet green and the walls of some mellow tint. If the eyelids are glued together on waking do not forcibly open them, but apply the saliva with the Anger, and then wash your eyes.and face with warm water. How to live Long.—They live longest, as a class, who live calm and even lives, mentally and physically, who are most exempt from the tur moils and shocks and strains that are incident to human existence, and are assured of to-morrow’s bread. There is no one thing that has such a direct influence in promoting longevity as an assurance, felt to be well-grounded, of a comfortable provision for life for all ordinary wants of our station. Not long ago a man died in the poor house ; in England, where ho had been taken care of for ninety years; he had no anxiety for to-morrow's bread; he had no quarter’s day to provide against, in default of which wife' and children would be turned into the street from the doors of the elegant brown mansion. He had no notes to meet in 'the bank, which, if not paid by the day or hour, would involve protest and financial ruin, Ah, this load of doubt I how it grinds one’s manhood to powder—how it shames a man’s honor—how it has driven to desperation, to drunkenness, to suicide, to murder! How the an- ' guish of it takes the energy and health out of a man, and makes him pine and languish for weary days and weeks on beds of thorns, that pierce through the body into the soul! So one good way to avoid sickness and premature death is to avoid debt as you would the evil one. ■ Family Govbbsment.— The chief dlf. lioulty in family government arises from the fact that so few parents ever learn to govern themselves. It was said of old that “he who ruleth his own spirit is greater than he who taketh a city.” The fact Is, that the ruling of bis own spirit is about the last accomplishment ever ar rived at by mortal man; and the remark is equally true as to mortal women. Bence, the government of children Is poor enough,' as n general thing. In fact, it is, in many cases, no government at all, but simply the venting of some father’s or mother’s or teacher's spite upon a obild who has done something to stir up the evil paSslons of one’s nature. Boms say that the more they punish their children the worse they seem to grow. That may very well be, If parents punish them because they are annoyed or angered at something they have done. A parent should never punish a child , when he is the least bit “put out’’with it, or for any reason whatever except the highest good of the child itself. A City of 'Women. In the neutral part of the capital city of Bandkok, In Siam, reside about nine thousand women, among whom no man but the king may enter. The Inhabitants of this Inner city are the thousand wo men of the royal harem, and some eight thousand more, who are soldiers, artifi cers, and slaves. This little world la ruled by women, as magistrates, who ad minister the laM'sof the kingdom. There Is no appeal from their decisions. If a disturbance arises it is suppressed by a force of 600 Amazons, trained from In fancy to the u sir of the sword and spear. Meanwhile the slave women carry on a variety of manufactures, or go outside the walls to till the fields. The women of higher birth »ro “ sealed” to the king, the slave women may marry, but their husbands dwell outside the walls. The children, II boys, are banished from the city of womro when at six years of age; only the girls remain. All the oriental distinctions of rank are scrupulously ob served vrtthlnthls strange realm, except that tbo magistrates are ohosen for per sonal character and wisdom. “Don't trouble yourself tostretoh your mouth any wider,” said a dentist to a man who was extending hla Jaw fright fully, "us I Intend to stand outside dur ng the performance.”. CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER T, 1873, ins JMCEST WIDOW IN THE SLUE O BASS 11EOXOE Not far from the Forks at Elkborn lived (he pretty little widow Fauutleroy, and, one of her nearest neighbors was Gen. Peyton. The General had looked upon the little widow very much as he did upon his blooded horse Powhattan— "the Unset horse, elr, In the Blue-gross region.” The pretty Mrs. Pauntleroy had been a widow for more than a year, while the General, having a great regard for eti quette, had waited patiently for that time to elapse, in order to declare him self. But the widow, with her woman’s art, kept her lover at bay, and yet she kept him in her train. 0 Be had escorted her to this barbecue, and when returning had expressed hie satisfaction at the prospects of General Combs and the success of the Whig party. The widow took sldea with the Democ racy, and offered to wager her blooded saddle-horse, Gypsoy, or anything else in her place against Powhattan, or any thing else she might fancy on the Gen eral's place. The General’s gallantry would not al low him to refuse the wager, which he promptly accepted. By this time they had reached the North Fork of Elkhorn, and were about to ford it (bridges were not plentiful in those days) when John Peyton, the General’s only son and heir, came up at a sharp gait behind them. The widow turned and bowed to John, and rode out into the stream, but a llttto behind her companion. The east bank was very steep, and required the heroes to put forth all their strength to reach the top with their loads. As luck would have it, good or ill, the widow's girth broke just at the com mencement of the steep part. The lady, still seated on her, saddle, slid swiftly back into the water, while her horse went up the bank like an arrow. John Peyton leaped from his horse, - and in an instant caught the floating lady and saddle, and before the General had. received from his astonishment, was at the tOBo of the bank with his burden. The widow was equal to the occa sion, for she begged the General to ride bn.and stop her horse, which had now begun to understabd his part In the mis hap, and was beginning to Increase bis gait toward home.’ The General did as he was bid, and soon returned with the horse. In the meantime John Peyton had secured his own horse, and when the General came back with the widow’s horse, she and John were laughing merrily over the ri diculous accident, but w bat passed be tween them is only known to them selves. John Peyton repaired the Broken girth, fastened the saddle again on the horse, placed the lady In her seat, bade her good evening, mounted bis horse, and taking another road down the Eikhern, rode rapidly home, leaving the General to es cort the widow. It is not necessary to relate how he en tertained his fair companion with pon derous anecdotes of Mr. Clay and ether famous public men ; but when be reach ed the Fauntleroy place, he accepted the lady's invitation to dismount and take tea with her. After having changed her wet clothing, the pretty widow entertained her guest with the brightest smiles and some new songs.. The General was delighted, and expressed delight as Kentucky gentlemen of that day would have done. “You are the finest songstress, madam, in the Blue-grass region. When he bid her good night and shook handsjwith heron the porch, the wicked little widow gave his hand a little squeeze—only a little—but It thrilled like au electric ebook through bis great, pon derous frame, while she laughingly re minded him of his wager. That night in his dreams, the little widow Fanntle roy was repeated so often, and lu.ao many bewitching forms, that he resolved to propose to her at their first meeting, nor did he dream that he could be refused. The next morning a letter from his to bacco factor called Gen. Peyton to Louis ville, and before his return the political contest in the Ashland district was over; and, wonderful to relate, John C. Breck inridge, the young Democrat, was elected to Congress. Gen. Peyton was both astonished and Indignant. “Mr. Clay’s district, elr, the finest Congressional district in the Blue grass region, has disgraced itself, sir,’’ was almost his first remark to his neigh bor, Col. Beaufort. To his son John be communicated his intention of bringing Mrs. Fauntleroy to adorn the head of the table. “Sir, she is the finest lady in the Blue grass region, and I hope, sir, you will al ways respe6t your future mother." John, with a quiet smile, assured him' that he was pleased with bis choice. This pleased the General highly, for be bad been a little afraid John would ob ject to a stepmother younger thou him seif* Tbe next morning the General ordered Fowbattan brought out and led over to Mrs. Fauntleroy’s. Calling John here quested him to go with him to call upon Mrs. Fauntleroy. “Tho Whig party has disgraced Itself Id Mr. Ciay'a district, air, and I am com pelled to part with tbe finest blooded horse In the State to pay my wager with that lady, air." The black boy bad led Fowbattan to the bitching rail In front of Mre. Faunt ieroy'a yard, and, having tied him, had gone Into tbe quarters to tell bia brothers and sisters of their mistress’ great good luck in having won tbe famous horse Fowbattan. When Gen. Peyton and John arrived, they found the pretty widow and two young lady friends in the yard'admiring Fowbattan. The ladles were la high glee, and after the usual salutation, the gentlemen were nvlteil to take seats on the porob, which they did. “Madame,” said the General to Mrs. Fauntleroy, “ I have come like a true Kentucky gentleman, to pay the wager I have lost. Powhnttan, madam, la right fully yours." “ Hut, General,” said she, " I believe the wager Is conditional. It was the horse or anything else on the place, was It not?" “ Madam,” he replied, “ you are cor rect. Hut there Is nothing on the place one-half In value to Powbattan, loan LOVE'S liTOAOT, Let the Beard Grow; —There are more solid inducements for wearing the beard long than the mere improvement of a man's personal appearance, and the cultivation of such an aid to the every day diplomacy of life. The hair of the mustache not only absorbs the moisture and miasmi of fogs, but it strains the air from the dust and soot of our great smoky cities. It acta also in the most scientific manner, by taking heat from the warm breath as it leaves the chest and supply It to the cold air taken in. It is not only a respirator, but with a beard entire we are supplied with a comforter as well, and these are never left at home like tho umbrella, and nil other such appliances, when they are wanted. Mofft and Livingstone, the explorers, and other travelers say that at night no wrapper can equal the beard. A remarkable fact is, too, that the beard like the hair of the head, protects against (he heat of the sun—lt acts as the thatch does to the ice bouse; but, more than this it becomes moist with perspiration, and then by evaporation cools the skin. A man who accepts this protection from nature may face the rudest storm and the hardest win ter. He may go from tho hottest room into tho coolest air without dread ; and we verily believe he might sleep In a morass with impunity —at least his chances of escaping the terrible fever would be better than bis beardless companions.— American Artisan. A poor Irishman passing through a village near Chester, Pa., saw a crowd approaching, which made him inquire what was the matter. Ho answered: “ A man la going to be burled.” “ Oh” replied ho, “ I’ll stop to see that, for wo carry them In our country.” A western editor, ip acknowledging the gift of a peek of oulous from a sub scriber, says: “It la such kindness as this that brings tears toonreyes.'' not allow you to select an Inferior ani mal.’’ The pretty widow blushed to tho tips of her Ungers when she said, "you hove another and superior animal here—your son John; if he would but use his tongue I think I shall ohoose him.” There was a moment ot dead silence, then a laugh, In which the General did not join. He rose, and in his blandest manner bade the ladles good morning. To John he said, "Sir, you will remain.” And that was the way that John Pey ton came to marry the pretty, widow Fauntleroy. Gen. Peyton never forgave his pretty daughter-in-law her practical-Joke. In after years he used to say : "Sir; she Is the flneet lady In the Blue grass region, but she looks taste, sir.” Is Poverty a Grime ? If poverty is a crime then there are many criminals,for many are too poor to live In any sort of decent comfort. The standard of honesty and excel lence, in the minds of many men is money. Give an individual pio’nty of money, fill his barn full, and examine his title papers to .broad acres of land on which no mortgage lies, and what a multitude of faillts are hidden beneath these things I Wealth hides more sins than anything else. “He was a poor, but an honest man." Ah, there it is " poor but honest,” they say, as if the two conditions are rarely allied. And that’s the way the world feels towards poverty. Crime and poverty go hand in band la the minds of too many of If men would learn to honor and trust each other lor their intrinsic worth—their wealth of mind and soul -their talent, genius, Industry, sobrie ty, etc., be be rich or poor, and a low estimate were placed upon each other for their wealth of purse, we should ail be happier, wiser and better. Genius would oftener be rewarded, and better appreciated. “ Poor, yet honest" men would bo stimulated to higher exer tions, A man should be honored and applauded for, what he is not lor what he has. It was not your men of wealth who gave to the world your steam en gine, the telegraph, the sewing ma chine, and thousands of other scientific inventions, which have revolutionized the whole civilized world; but men of poverty, who lived in obscurity, under the ban of reproach on account of such poverty. It has ever been thus ; and we fear will continue to be so, for man by nature is ungrateful, and money rules the world. A Ghost Story.—a correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette writing from Portsmouth, Ohio, reports a, prodigy worth noting. As the story goes Moi lie Sullivan, a courtesan, recently died in Portsmouth, and after her death a German woman living near by, called pnblic attention to the astounding fact that Mollie’s ghost could be seen from the [street, seated behind one of the windows of her former residence. Soon thousands of people had visited the spot, and looking up from the street had seen the apparition. The corres pondent of the Oazette has seen it also os from one point of view it showed only as the general outline of a face, the flow of the hair and the curve of the eyebrows being well defined, while from another, distant from it about fifty feet, he could see the color of the dress—dark ground-work with white spots—a bow or locket on the bosom ; the posture that of a person sitting nearly facing the window and some person or thing standing behind her at the right hand of, the pic ture. The pane of , glass has been re moved, but does notseem to differ from any pane, nor can tho likeness be seen from within the room. As it is sup posed that Motile was murdered there is great excitement In the town, and strenuous endeavors are made to find out who the person standing behind her may bo. The glass should be care fully examined, aa it may show some thing new connected with tho art of photography. » VOL 59-NO. 22. ZiO I THE BIG INDIAN ! He Elopes With a White Man's Wife. [From tfio Detroit Free Press.] Borne few weeks since an Indian known among steamboat men us "Hank Clay,” but whose original Indian name could have been nothing short of Thun der-and-Idghtning, or some other appel lation signifying that be waS'up to snuff, was found at the corner of Hastings and Atwater streets so sick that he could hardly stand. The crowd was proposing to send him to the Marine Hospital, when a mechanic named Whitley,- living on Woodbtidge street, east, came along. He ascertained that "Hank” had about seventy dollars with him, and offered to take him to his bouse and care for him at the rate of four dollars per week. Clay consented to ;go, and was taken off In an express wagon. He was ill for about two weeks and received three or four visits from a doctor, but at length was pronounced all right. If one were writing a dime novel it would be proper to say that Hank Clfty and Mrs. Whitley loved at first sight, and perhaps they did. At any rate they got up an affection for each other, and last Thursday even ing looked at one another so lovely across the supper table that the husband rose up in bis wrath, and he told Hank Clay to go out Into tho wldo world and never darken his dooragaln. Hank Clay went. He didn’t utter a war-whoop, draw a tomahawk or execute any scalp-dance on the door-Step, but be got under bis hat and got over the threshold. Saturday evening lost Mr. Whitley came home, dreaming of a cheerful lire and a panfull of snow apples, and bo found the house dark and lonesome. He called “Virginia” several times, but only the mournful yowl of a cat on the line fence answered bis calls. He soon ascer tained that the wife had packed her out fit Jnto two valises, and that she and Hank Clay had been seen at the Detroit and Milwaukee depot waiting for a train to bear them toward the setting sun. He rushed down there, but the train was rol ling on, and bis batbs and exclamations only collected a Jeering crowd. The wronged had a brother in Chicago, he telegraphed as follows , “ Wife Is running nwny with Ik cussed Indian. Bo at depot with officer to catch her. Kill the Indian and lock up Virginia till I come,” Whether the pair were caught or not basnet yet been ascertained, but Whitley sold a watch and some Jewelry to get money to take the trail, and he’ll have Hank Clay’s scalp If the stamps bold out. The Sacredness’ op Marriage For the man and woman who purely and truly love each other, and are guid ed by the law, of justice, marriage Is not a state of bondage. Indeed, it is only when they become, by this out ward acknowledgement, publicly a vowed lovers, that freedom is realized by them in its full significance’ There after they can be openly devoted to each other’s interests, and avowedly chosen and Intimate friends. Together they can plan life’s battles, and enter upon the path of progress that ends life’s eventide. Together they can seek the charmed avenues of culture, and, strengthened by each other, can brave the world’s frown In the rugged heav en-11 t path of reform. Home, with all that is dearest in the sacred name la their peaceful and cherished retreat, within whose sanctuary bloom the vir tues that make it a temple of benill cence. Falsa Pride. There are very many young ladies, ol limited means, in large towns, who would gladly employ their leisure hours in some way that would prove remuner ative to them, If they could do so with out the fact of their being employed be ing made known outside of their own family circles. Bather than- this, these fastidious girls will submit to many pri vations, and pass hours of .each day in listless idleness that ought and could be put to profitable use. Another of the results of this false pride is the fostering of spirit of idleness, which almost com pletely unfits them for which devolve upon them after marriage. Hence the many unhappy marriages growing out of a want of familiarity with household duties, and a positive disinclination to perform them. The young lady who permits herself to bo persuaded that any honest occupation is disreputable, fails Into serious error, and especially so where health, comfort and possibly do mestic happiness depend upon it, as is frequently the ease. “ Wiut is the reason that men nev er kiss each other, while the ladies waste a world of kisses on feminine faces,” said the Captain to Gussie the other day, up at Normal. Gussie cogitated a moment, and then answered, “ because men have something better to kiss, and the wom en haven’t,” The Captain “ saw it,” immediately, •‘Whatever God made Is perfect,” said a Western preacher. "What do you think of me ?” said a hunchback rising and exhibiting big own deformity. "Why, that you are as perfect a hunch back as I ever saw. A parsimonious sea captain answer log the complaints of his men that the bread was bad exclaimed ; •' What I complain of your bread that is made of flour! What do you think of the Apostles? They ate shew bread made from old boots and shoes.” A wag seeing a lady at a party with a very low necked dress, remarked in a very audible voice: “She really • outstrips’ the whole party,” A smart young clerk, hearing It stated by a lecturer that a man is mere ly a machine, remarked: “ Then I suppose an attorney may bo said to be a suing machine.” ■ An editor sat down and wrote “whlta pique costumes are now popular,” and the compositor set It up "while plno cof fins are uow popular,” which of course they are not.

I am convinced that it will not bo i amiss to suggest that farmers will con-, 1 suit their interest by growing more I winter apples. Insetting trees to grow ; market fruit, they should choose very i few, and in most cases not any of the 1 early and fall varieties. Comparative ly there is a largo otter supply of such apples now; when there is a good crop of apples, the markets are fairly glutted with such early fruit. This season, according to the market reports, a good many have sold in New York for 25 and 50 cents per barrel, barrel included; and doubtless a large share of the early fall fruit has not sold for enough to more than pay freight and other char ges, and the coat of the barrel, leaving the producer nothing for the fruit.— The perishable nature of such fruit de mands a quick market, as it cannot bo hold for a turn in prices; consequently a glut runs prices down in a hurry, for dealers will sell cheap rather than lose their fruit. Besides, they are always ready to take advantage of anything that enables them to buy cheap of the producers. Honco both country and city dealers like to glut the markets with perishable fall fruit, and thus re duce prices to very low rates, in order to start the market for winter apples as low as possible. This practice has been more generally brought into play with in a few years than ever before ; and it is not at all unlikely that winter fruit has been, and perhaps may be this sea son reduced a dollar a barrel in this way. If only half a dollar is lost.lt ■ will doubtless fully offset all the profit realized on fall fruit. Henco I have little doubt that; if not one bushel of fall apples was sold, farmers would re ceive mote for the apple crop, as a whole, than is now realized. If this Is the case, the fall crop is a positive dam age, as the labor of growing, gathering and marketing it is all lost. Now this need not be the case; the farmers have the remedy in their own hands, and it is not difficult or expen sive. It is merely and only to graft over from half to two thirds of their fall apple trees to good market varie ties of winter fruit.. In many cases the producer should only save sufficient fall fruit for his own use, or to also supply a reliable and desirable demand in his vicinity. There is more risk in depen ding upon distant markets for such fruit. Those who grow full apples for New York and other largo markets, should only save or select those varie- ties that, while tljey are good bearers, are most in demand and bring the best prices. Then fail fruit will pay, winter fruit will bring better prices, and there will bo more of it to sell. So, for these three reasons, the income from the or chard will bo largely increased. And then winter fruit must not nec essarily bo hurried off to market and into consumption as soon ns it Is ready. There are five or six months in which markets and consumers may bo found. This gives time to send it to distant points. All ot tho principal cities and towns in tho Southern States may be, and should be, supplied with choice winter apples from tho North. Great Britain should also bo supplied with choice American apples. All reports go to show that England has the light est crop of apples that has been grown in a good many years. This affords n good opportunity to largely introduce our fruit there. Apples are, and no doubt will be cheap hero; they should bring a good price there. This should lead to an extensive trial of our choice Western New York and other apples in that country. As to .varieties, it is Impracticable to give a selection that will suit all parts of the country. In Western Now York dealers soy the heat market varieties are Maiden’s Blush and Twenty Ounce apples, for fall apples, and Rhode Is- land Greening, Baldwin and Boxbury Russett for winter fruit. Judged by the demand, it is said the Rhode Is- land Greening stands very much ahead; the Roxbury Russet is , mainly grown because it will keep until other varie ties ate gone, and then bring a high price. In other sections pains should be taken to ascertain and plant, or graft, tho best and most profitable va- rleties for market, Best Time to Paint Houses.—Tho best time for painting the exterior of buildings is late in autumn or during the winter .months. Paint then ap plied will endure twice ns Jong as when applied in early summer or in hot weather. In the former it dries slowly and becomes hard, like a glazed surface, not easily affected afterwards by tho weather, or worn off by the beating of storms. But in very hot weather tho oil in the paint soaks into the wood at once, as into a sponge, leaving the lead nearly dry and nearly ready to crumble off. This last difficulty, however, might in a measure be guarded against, though at an increased expense, by first going over the surface with raw oil.— ,By painting in cold weather, one an noyance might certainly bo escaped, namely, the collection of small flies on tho fresh paint. New Uses for Paper.— Paper has now been applied to the manufacture of cuirasses, and other protections for , soldiers, having a better resisting pow er to pistol bullets, spent rifle balls and sword cuts, than Iron, It is now sug gested to protect ships with paper ar mor plates, which ate claimed to bo equal to Iron in resistance and but a fraction of the weight. A recent in vention has supplied the long needed want of water proof paper, which is made by dipping paper in an nmmoni acal solution of oxide of copper, fol lowed by pressing and drying, Paper molded into any form can thus bo made water proof. Its applications are almost innumerable.
