Ben Fisher had finished his harvesting,
And he stood by his garden gate,
One foot on the rail. and one on the ground
And he called to his good wife Kate,
Thero were stains of toil on his wamus red,
ThcMust of the field on his hat;
But a twinkle of pleasure was in his eye,
As he looked at Lls stock so fat.
"Item, give me the babe, deur Kate, you are tired,
And I fear yon have too much care,
You must rest and pick up a little, I think,
Before we can go to the fair.
I'd hate to be taking fat cattle, you know,
Fat bogs, rat sheep. and fat cows,
With a wile at my elbow as poor as a crow,
And care-wrinkles seaming her brows.
"Can't go!" Why not? "Can't afford the es
, pence!",
I know, Kate, nur crisps nrn't the best ;
But we've labored together to keep things along,
Awl together we'll now take a rest,
The - fmst blighted the fruit, but , Brtedie' is

And *dimly' and 'Fan' are a skew,

Never seen the blue, billowy lake;
Ne'er rode in a rail-tar, nor been in a throng—
So, Kate, this short journey we'll take;
• And gather new feelings, new thoughts, and new
ways,
Ti we find those tbat salt, as we roam,
And garner up strength in head, heart and hand
For the loves, and the duties at home.
I smnetiracerhare tlfoaght, as I plodded along

A GOOD STORY.
Advleo to Tonna Women,
BY Dl{. DIO LEWIS
This article is intended for young wo
men, but onl, . those who want husbands.
Those who hive made up their minds to
rdmain single, "who wouldn't ;marry the
-best man that ever lived, Thera I" can pass
this article, as it has no interest for them.
Men will shut their eyes if they have the
least spark of delicacy, of course; for every
word of this ie private and confidential.
To be frank with you, the reason, or
rather the occasion for writing as I do,
was this: About a week ago, a young
woman of twin ty-sis (she said twenty-six,
so I am sure :on that point), came to me
about her health; andotfter the-profession
al conversation was finished, we fell into
a general and, pleasant chat.
She was delightfully frank, and said,
while we were discussing men and matri
money :
"I wish I was little."
"That is bad," I replied. I had been ad
miring your grand, queenly proportions
ever since you came in ; and now you spoil
it all by showing that you are not grate
ful for such noble gifts.'
"I can't help it; I wish I didn't weigh
more than eighty pounds, and wasn't more
than - four and: a half feet high."
"Well, lam shocked; do tell me what
makes you wish so."
"To be frank with ran, the reason is
just this: Men are so fZind of saying,"My
Mlle wife."
I laughed of course, thinking it was in
tended as a bright speech ; but her flush
ed faco assured that, instead, she was
speaking from the bottom of her heart.
"Go on," I said ; "tell me your tho'ts.
"31y - thoughts are just these, and I be
lieve they are the thoughts. of all unmar
ried, marriageable women. I long for
nothing this side of heaven, as I do to bury
all-my uncertainties and anxieties in the
lore of a husband. Eagerly would I make
any honorable sacrifice to secure this grat
est treasure. But I fear there is nothing
left for me but to be pointed at and sneer
ed at 219 an old maid all the rest of my
life. So while t might otherwise be great
fill for what yon choose to call my queen
ly proportions, I can only wish I was one
of the little women whom rkm seem to
fancy."
I s . .
ha'n't tell yon any more of my con
versation, and. my friend will excuse this
mach as a text for a little sermon which I
wish to preach, assured that only she and
I will know• to whom this refers.
Now don't take on airs and turn up
your noses. My hair is white, and you
sbotild permierne to speak as a father.—
Yoe want husleands. You think of them
by day. and dream of them by night. Yon
talk of nothing else. Think on and dream
on, even it' you never get them ; it will
make von nobler and better to think about
them:On our•side of the house we are all
at it too; and although we never 'marry,
our hearts will be the nobler and purer
for having thoiight and dreamed of you.
In entering :upon this most important
relation, we wen must take the initiative.
You are perplexed and grieved that so
many hold back, and wander abont, home
less bachelors 411 our lives, leaving you to
die old maids. : Let me.whisper the secret:
We are afraidef yea. And now I propose
to let my friend Bob explain. Ile is u
splendid felloiY, and dying to have a home
of his own; but he dare not venture. lie
declared in my parlor the other day, that
he would prefer ten years of happy mar
ried life, to fifty years of this miserable
nothing and nowhere. But, said he:
"Now see here, Mr. Lewis, I am a bank
er. My salary is 83001 I can't marry
a scrub. I most marry a wife with man
ners—one who knows what's what. My
mother and sisters; to say nothing of my
self, weal break their hearts, if my choice
were below their style. New just tell me
how, with such a wife, I could get thro'
on 03000 a Year. Why, her dress alone
would cost half of it. My dress would at
least cost e5OO, and that would leave one
thousand to pay the rest of it. Board
conldn't, be got for less than $5O a week.
end even with, that, we shouldn't get. first
class board; and then there are the extras
—the operas, 4c.; one can't live in socie
ty without a little of such things. Oh, no ;
finless I first make op my mind to rob the
banks, I couldn't thinh of matrimony.—
If I had 495000 a year, I would venture;
tut with only 43000! Well, I'm not quite
a madman and so I stay where - I can pay
my debts.
- .
"My lady friends think I'm so much in
lore with the —.- Club that I hare no
time for them ; and one of them said to me
the other day, when we were discussing
the matter: ;
"Why, Bob, what you spend in that
miserable club would sapporl a wife easy."
"It wouldn't pay for her bonnets," I re
plied.
Now, blies, Bob is. getting a little ex
traragant and' we'll lst him retire; and I
drill preach to; yon a little sermon, about
an inch bag. I don't often preach, but in
this case nothing but a sermon will do.
Flag'. You are perfect idiots to go ou
in this way. 'Your bodies are the most
beautiful of God's creation. In the:Con
tinen tat galleries I always saw groups of
people gathered about the pictures of wo
men. Itwas nOtpassion,-,--the gazers were
just as likely to be,women us men ; it was
because of the wonderous beauty ofd wo
man's bode..
Now stand with • me at my office win
dow,and see a pass. There goes one!
lime isn't data pretty looking object? A
big hump, three big Itimps,a wilderness
of crimps andifrills, a battling of the dress

which occupymost of the space within the

Ip the;nut e of 'all tho,simple, sweet

would ask.: How is a: an to fall iu lose
with such' a piece of atitpound, dottbled'
.and twisted, touch-men-not Aqificiglity.
as. on zee that wrialbg ov/salty?
.Srca.FDAT,I With thett -*up mad,
;squeezing your lime, stomach, liver and.
other'vital organs into one half their nat
ural size,inid with that long trail dragging
on the ground, how can any man of sense,
who knows that life is made - up of use, of
service, of work—how can he take such a
partner? ; He must be desperate, indeed,
to unite himself for life ivith such-a fetter
ed, half-breathing ornament:
TIIIADLY, Your:bad dreis and lack:pf
'exercise . lead to bed health; *and' men
wisely fear
.that, instead of a helpmate,.
they would get an invalid to take care o.
This bad health in you, just as in men,
Makes the mind as well us the body fud
dled and effeminate. You hive nopower,
no magnetism! I know you giggle free
ly, and use big adjectives, such as "splen
did," "awful," but then this don't deceive
us; we see it all. You are superficial, af
fected, silly; youShavu none of that wo
manly stkength and warmth which are so
assuring and attractive to men. Why,
you have become so childish and weak
minded, that you refuse to wear decent
names even, and insist upon baby names.
lustead of Helen,Marg,aryt and Elizabeth,
you affect Nellie, Maggie and Lizzie.—
When your brothers were babies, you call
ed them Bobby, Dickey and Johnny, but
when they grow up to manhood, no more
of that silly trash, if you please.
But I .know a woman of twenty-five
years, and she is big as both of my grand
mothers put together, who insists upon
being called Kitty, and her real name is
Catherine;
and although her brain is big
enough to conduct affairs of State, she
does nothing but giggle, cover up her face
with 'her fun, and exclaim, once in four
minutes, "Don't now; you are real mean."
How can a man propose a life-partner
ship to such a Silly goose? My dear girls,
you must, if you would' et husbands, and
decent ones, dress in plain,
neat, and be
coming garments, and - talk like sensible,
earnest sisters.
,
You say you don't care, you won't dress
to please men, etc. Then lam not talk
ing. to you • for, as I said in the beginning,
it Is addressed to those who want hus
bands, and would like to know how to get
them
You say that the moat sensible men are
crazy after these butterflies of fashion. I
beg your pardon, it. is not so. Occasion
ally a man of brilliant success may marry
a silly,weak woman ; bat to say, ne I have
heard women say a hundred times, the
most sensible men choose women without
sense, is simply absurd. Nineteen times
in twenty, sensible men choose sensible
women. I grant you that in company they
are very likely to chat and' toy with those
over-dressed and forward creatnres but
they don't ask them to go to the altar
with them.
FOCRTIILT, Among the yonng men in
the matrimonial market. only a small
number are independently rich, and in
Athcricaincli ierytiii•ely" make good bus
bands. But the number of thoso who are
just beginning 'n life, who are filled with
a noble ambition, who bare fu tit - re. is very
large. Thee are worth having. But suchwill not, they dare not ask von to join
them, while they see' von so idle, silly, and
so gorgeously attired. Let them sea that
Von are industrious, economical, with
habits that secure health and strength ;
that yonr life is earnest and .

would be willing to begin at the beginning
in life with the man you would consent to
marry—then marriage would become the
rule, and not, as now, the exception,
Ah ! • if ever the time shall come when
yowl!: women have ogempatious, and can
sustain a healthy, attitude to
ward men, when they shall escape this
pitiful dependence, then marriage will be

better and vobler.—Coagregationalist.
Rain to Itidhitinpctitt.
A day or two since a ruralist from An=
derson, or thereabouts, visited the city on
business, and, in the course of his peregri
nations purchased a package of Retnan
candles, for the purpose of amusing his
progeny, on his return. His fireworks
were carefully deposited in a rear pocket.
and a short time thereafter he wended his
way to the depot,to_take the evening train.
While loitering in the waiting-room, ad
miring the stacks of ginger -bread, hard
boiled eggs and doughnuts, temptingly
displayed on the lunch-counter. ha care
lessly whisked his left coat=tail _against
the red-hot Stove, and trouble imme,diale
ly. ensued. The first rocket narrowly
missed the face of a native who was in a
half-comatose condition, caused by much
extract of hop, and, without waiting to
inquire into particulars, he made the door
in two gigantic leaps. All the occupants
of the room immediately endeavored to
folloW. his example; and with a worthy de

How the Deacon got Even
The deacon was not very much behind,
if the following story be true :
In a small town on the Schuylkill:riVer
there is a church in which the singing
had eon down. It has been led many
years by one o'f the deacons, whose voice
and musical powers had been gradually
failing. One evening the clergyman gave
out the hymn which was an old measure,
and rather harder than usual, and the
deacon led off. Upon its conclusion the
minister rose and said :
" Brother B-- will please repeat the
hymn, as I cannot pray after such sing
in"
The deacon very: composedly Ditched
into another tune, and the clergyman
proceeded with prayer. Having finished,
he took up the book to give tha second
hymn, when he was interrupted by the
deacon gravely getting up and saying in
a voice audible to the whole congrega•
tion
" Will Mr. make'lmther prayer?
It would be impossible fur me to sing af
ter such a prayer as that."

Diffusive Process in Nuking &Igor.
When sugar cane is crushed for the ex
traction of its juice, it is well known that
a large portion of the juice is taken up by
the fibre, and that the amount tared is
much less,than that which actually exists
in the plant. To remedy this defect, the
method called the ditlbsive precess,which
has-been so successful in the treatment of
the sugar beet, has lately been adopted
with very satisfactory results. This 'con
sists simplY in dissolving out the taccha
rine,matter with water. and then concen
trating the juice in the proper manner.—
In a certain sugar establishment in Mad
ras,where the process has been introduced
with great success, the cane is cut into
thin slices by machines, six of which were
capable of cutting nearly one -hundrrd
tons of cane in twenty-fdur hours. The
subsequPat treatment . is similar to that
with beet-root juice,and requires no filter
ing through animal charcoal: The:great
advantage.claimed, however,ia that eighty
two per cent. of saccharine matter is se
cured by the -diffusive process, against
seventy per cent. by the ordinary method.
