Education Of Daughters.

When young lady is seventeen years
of age, if she enjoys good health, she is
Just beginning to have that vigor Of mind
which enables her to make intellectual ac-
ouisitions. Two or three years, then de-
voted energeticaly to study, will store the
mind with treasures which will be more val
liable to her than mines of gold. She will
be thus able to command husbands re-
spect and retain his love. Her children
will feel that they have indeed a mother.
Her home will be one worthy of the name,
where mothers accomplished mind and
glowing heart will diffuse their heavenly
influence.
An angel might covet the mission which
is assigned to mother. Your child, who
thinks of finishing her education at sixteen
NAV soon have intrusted to her keeping a
son, in whose soul may glow the energies
of Milton, or of Newton, or Washington
God did not make her to play a waltz OF
dance polka. She is created little
lower than the angels. When the waning
stars expire, she is still to 60 careerlng or o.
in Immortality, till she reaches that eli
max of happiness in the presence OF God
Appreciate the exultation of her nature
her duties, and her destiny. Let not the
noble intellect where dwells her immortal,
ity be unheeded. The years of youth arc
soon gone. The moments in which q
young lady can attract attention by a few
superficial accomplishments are as tran,
sient as the morning dew. But there arc
lifelong cares, and responsibilities whicl
will weigh upon her. And when she has
passed through her threescore years anc
ten, and venerable in age, she sits by tht
fre-sid with her children and grand-chlld
rep around her, accomplished scholars
and Statesmen may be among their mum
Der, who shall assemble in her chambe
with emotions of love and reverence.

Beautiful Extract.

The following beautiful extract we copy
frsm an Agricultural Address, recently
delivered before the Lewis County On. Y }
Agricultural Society, by CALEB LYON, the
poet.
"Permit me-" said the speaker, " to
call your attention to subject intimately
connected with the comfort of your own
home. | would ask in what manner an
acre of ground, iu the common course OF
cultivation, can so well be employed as in
a garden or who deserves to have life's
path strewed with fruit and flowers more
than the farmer All our vegetables were
originally acclimated here, and Homer,
who composed his great poem, the Had
five hundred years before Cadmus brought
letters into Greece, makes Laertes de-
scribe, in glowing colors, the bri hit asso-
Citations that are clustered about this tru-
est cradle of agriculture. Here it was that
Plato discussed, Eve sinned, and Jesus
prayed. The Chinese have floating gar
dens, the Persians hanging gardens, the
Arabians fountain gardens, but ours are
household gardens; and our after-life's
happcst moments may be in the memory
of the flower plucked from thence to. adorn
bridal or to grace bier.
\ "Adam was a farmer
while yet in paradise, and after his fall
was commanded to earn his berad by the
sweat of his BROW Job, the honest, up
right and patient, was farmer, and his
stern education has passed into proverb.
Socrates was farmer, and he welded to
his calling the glory Of his immortal phi
losophy. St. Luke was a farmer, and di-
vides with Prometheus the honor of sub
iecting the OK to the nse of man. Cincin-
natus was a farmer, and the noblest Roman
of them all Burns was a farmer, and
the muse found him at the plough, anc
filled his soul with poetry. Washington
was farmer, and retired from the highes
earthly stations to enjoy the quiet rura
life, and present to the world its subllmes
spectacle of human greatness. 10 thes
names may be added host Of others VIII

"GorNc THE WHOLE HOG. pa quer-
ist asks information as to the origin of the
American figure of speech "to 60 the
whole hog" 1 apprehend its parentage
belongs less to Am erica than to Ireland,
where g hog is still the synonyme for
a shilling. AMI "tester" or faster, "
for sixpense. Previously to the assiml-

in 1928, a"white hog "meant the Engllsh

To" ego the whole hog is convlvlai de-
termination to spend the whole shllIlnT,,
and the prevalence of the expression, with
an extension of its application in America
can be readily traced in its importation by
the multitudes of emigrants from Ire

A spuNKY WIFE.-A middle-aged far
mer and his wife were enjoying a winter
evening costly together, when the CONVEX
sation turned upon religious matters, as
described in the Bible, which the man hac
open before him.
sWife,' said the farmer, I've beer
must have had in his day, with so many
wives, &C., as is here represented.
Indeed p replied the wife, somewhat
miffed, you had'bettcr think OF something
else, then. A pretty Solomon yOu woul(
make, truly you can't take proper care
of one wife. What figure y"v woul'
cut, then, with dozen wives, and all o
them as spunky as | am!
The farmer took his hat and went to tn
stable to feed the cattle for the night.

THAT INDIA RUBBER Do!.-The Lynn
News stated recently, that there is a dog
in Salem, which prefers Iudia-Rubber to
all other food. The story was so tough,
and stretched the credulity of certain edi-
tors so painfully, that they thought proper
to denouuce it as a gum game The
Salem Register man on being applied to-
confirms the statement, and says that the
dog was in his office 1--WE suppose his name
is Spring, and that he came bounding in)
and devoured a quantity of caoutchoue
with much gusto. We do not marvel al
the story. The dogs master has probably
boarded at a fashionable clearinghouse
and the little animal has acquired this NOR
bid appetite from eating the steaks usually
provided at these establishm ents. -! Bos.

RGy- There is but breath Of air and a
beat of the heart between this world and
the next. And in the brief interval of a
painful and awful suspense while we feel
that death is present with us, that we are
powcrless, and he all powerful, and the
last faint pulsation here, is but the prelude
of endless life hereafter, we feel in the
midst of the stunning calamity about to
befal us, that earth has no compensatin2
good to the severity of our loss. But
there is no grief without some benifcen
provis ons to soften its intense sencss. Wher
the COED and the lovely die, the memory
of their good deeds, like the moonbeam'
on the stormy sea, lights up our darkeneC
hearts, and lends to the surrounding gloon
a beauty so sad, so sweet that we woulc
not, if we could, dispel the darkness tina
environs them.
