"Poor Bobby Atchison," he was of

Ho was an honest, plodding farmer,
and lived iu the old homdlcft him four
years before by hts dying father. Scarce
ly a year later he followed ,hls Uioth

turned to the old homestead" a lonely
wan, without kindred remote or near.
Tho farm was free from debt, and
was capable of yielding large "corpij yet,

Why was, this? Why did tho crops

Truth to tell, Bobby's heart 'was nolt

Ills first impulse in tills direction was
received long years before by, an old na-.

of,hls''wlld jauuts, was1 thrown' violent-i

residence; aud was obliged' lo remain

As many others, this enthusiast bcllev

Ills was tho sphlt of tho proselyte,
and he turned his eyes towards Bobby

youth proved an apt student.) Eagerly

For a long time lie struggled against

Some of the Trials of a Wo-
' ni a n.
The hardest trial td'n woman "of ner-
Vous' energy, 'ambltWrl and occupation,
;ls the' dally demand mado upon 'her
time 'by her acquaintances of tho day,
Women sho may havo'mct accidentally,
and been1 thrown with for an hour or'an
ovening, call upon her; asks favors of
her diligence nnd effort. Men who in
business doallngs have learned to' know
her,call to settle somo trilling polnt.and
then como again because It Is'agreeablo
to them to do so, never stopping fo con
sider that they area tax', and oftentimes
a bore, and never so necessary to ber'
oxlstenco that they need stay an hour
to transact a matter that Is ot no im
potlance to anyone "but themselves.
A woman of this stamp should early
learn to avoid favors ; they cost too
dean A boquet of flowors, an, evening,
at tho opera, or any other unnecessary
kindness, often Is paid fo: by hours .of
hard servico at entertaining, or e)se by
attentions that are undeslrcd and unde
sirable to a woman, who to crow In
strength must grow apart, and who to
succeed must not n embarrassed by
so-called friends. Learn early' tho value
of personal Independence ; strlv.o to lve
above, society, and aspire to that' culture
and grace which renders It unnecessary.
Rejoice In your single-heartedness; de
light In Doing, magnanimous; for a wo
man to bo really independent must bo
lofty ot soul and above tho masses In
every moral attribute. Rid yourself of
women who hamper you by their . so
ciety; avoid as you would.a "pestilence-,
women .of vulgar Instlnctiand ordinary
attainments. Poor society is worse
than solitude to even less oarnost wo
men than yourself: to you who have a
life-pursuit, and aro;per3uing.t, Is, sim
ply a calamity. You, may offend, 'but,
the loss pf strength to you is more than
the good will of small natures.
