MAGNOLIA CEMErERy.-ln the pro
ceedings ofthe Board Of selectmen
on the 9th inst, it affords us pleasure
10 zee that some action has been had
on the subject Of enclosing, and pre-
pairing the ground ofthe new cemetery
for active service. The initiatory step
has been taken by the appointment Of
Board of Trustees, and it IL to be
hoped that they have sufficient power
delegated to them, to commence the
work. and place that beautiful grove Of
NIagnolias into form. that it may be
Mt once made serviceable.
There are very few men in this me
tallic aye, who bestcw thought upon
the fact that the undertakes must

many men. who think they have q

is to pay the taxes of q free govern

"latter end" although they are re-
minded of It. Mt the close Of every
christian sermon preached far deatl
and ,lamnation are always pictured IN
their most glowing and fascinating
colors, as the proper reward Of Offend

they get sick, that they are secure
against imprisonment and death for

which we have neither the time nor
inclination to reetifv. All we desire
to picture in this connection, is the
certainty Of death, and the indispens

The CHRISTIAN IDEA OF WOMAN --Rev. w. FL.
Milburn, Chaplain of the United States House
of Representatives, delivered an eloquent dis
course last evening, in the Sands street Meth
odist Church, Brooklyn, on christian Ideas of
Woman He spoke of the position occupied by
woman under the old Jewish dispensation-of
the place awarded her in cultured Greece and
martial Rome-and said that there they were
but the mere playthipgs or drudge Of man. He
drew strong picture of the fair but frail As
pasta, who, by the combined charms Of her
manners and conversation, completely won the
affections of the great Pericles. But though
Aspasia was the most beautiful and accom-
plished of Athenian women, and acquired for
herself great renown, and was finally made a
priestess Of Diana Of Ecbatana, yet she was mo-
thing more or less than brilliant courtezan.
The speaker also alluded to Sappho; but she,
too, fell far short of his idea of the true woman
1t was not till the dawn of Christianity that
woman's influence was justly recognized and
made available In speaking of woman's proper
sphere the speaker said that preeminently by
her nature, by her physical and moral confor-
nation, is she made for home The field of
| maternity is sufficiently broad for her, Mater
nifty is her heritage and her patrimony. The
sacred name of mother, with all its hallowed
connections, its inspiring thoughts-the name OF
mother tells us where she is, where she belongs
| and where, Of right, is her position and her pri-
vilege To maintain intact the delicacy of heI
organization; to maintain the broad sweep o.
her love; to maintain the sway over the pas
sions; these are her duty and sphere, and the
/ field where they are to be cultivated is home

4 To.CHoosE A Coop MLcH Cow. Select from
algood breed. We prefer the Devons- bright
bay red. The Durhams are roam, red, white,
and mixtures Of these colors. Ayrshire cows
are generally red and white spotted Here
fords, red or darker colored, with white faces.
Attorneys, pale red and mixed with white.
These are the principal colors Of the several
breeds, of which the Durhams are the largest
and the Attorneys the smallest. Different indi-
viduals will contend for each breed being the
best and only one that should be selected for
their milking qualities But animals of each
breed, and Of crosses of them, often prove re-
markable mixers, and so do some Of the native
stock Of the country. Two families Of COWS,
one owned by Col. Jacques, Of Ten Hills Farm,
near Charlestown, Mass, and one owned by
Mai. John Jones, Of Wheatland Farm, near
Middleton, Del, were called native breed
If we were about selecting mich COW, we
would endeavor to get one out of such herd of
good mixers one with soft, velvety- feeling
skin, slim neck, fine legs, broad stern, with
what is called large escutcheon, that is, the
hair Of the stern pointing inward; a large I'D
der, slim teats and large veins, commonly called
milk veins, on the belly. Above all things,
select your COW of gentle, pleasant counte-
nance, because frst-rate mixer may be SO
vicious as to be worthless Do not LOOK for
flesh, as the best cows are seldom fat; their hip
bones are often very prominent, and they have
the appearance of being low in flesh. A beefy
COW is seldom good mixer.
The next thing is, what is a good mixer
That is, how much milk will she yield per day
A cow that will average five quarts Of milk a
day through the year, making 1926 quarts, is
an extraordinary good COW. One that will
yield five quarts day for ten months is good
COW, and one that will average four quarts q
day during that time is more than an average
quality. That would make 1900 quarts year,
which, at three cents quart, is $S36 We be-
lieye the Orange county milk diaries average
about $40 per cow, and the quality Of the cows
is considerably above the average of the coun-
try. 1t is as important to keep COW good as
il is to get her good. This can never be done
by a careless, lazy mixer. Always milk your
| COW quick and perfectly clean, and never try to
counterfeit nature by taking away her calf.
Let it suck, and don't be afraid I. it will be her
DEATH 1t will distend the udder, and make
room for the secretion Of milk. Be gentle with
your COW. and you will have gentle COW.
Select well, feed well, house well, milk WILL and
your cow will yield well. New York Tribune.

A JOLLY PRIEST The lower orders of the
Russian clergy must be rather q hard set, if
all accounts be true, and have much need of the
spiritual adyisings of Father Mathew. The
Paris Pays tells story of Russian traveller,
who, while passing through village, saw a
crowd of peasants rolling reverend gentleman
into barn and barring the doors after him
On inquiring the cause, one of them said sOh,
it's only the priest, whom we are locking. up in
that Way" ssBecause it is Saturday, sAnd
why on this particular day." g Because he is
drunkard, and we always lock him up on
Saturday, in order that he may be able to per-
form divine service on Sunday On Monday he
can begin his spree again, and keep it up
through the week." Fair drinking men are
the Russian priests.

Up to this day, green is sacred color with

all things else, in the turban. Green iurbaned
Turks, even, are rare, and it is understood that
the man who aspires to such distinction is q
peculiarly holy man-indeed, lineal descend
ant of the Prophet. Just imagine, then, what
must be the feelings Of the good old Mussulmans
to see regiments of French troops all wearing
the green turban! These soldiers have gone
through all the streets Of the capital, sometimes
singly, and sometimes in companies of five and
ten, and have attracted universal attention and
remark. At first the common Turks supposed
them to be Mussulman Frenchmen. Several Of
them were passing st. Sophia one day, and
some Turks invited them to 60 in and say their
prayers. The Frenchmen, not knowing the
language, did not at first comprehend the ma
ture of the invitation but person was soon
found to act as interpreter. When they learned
that they were expected to go through the

An old chap residing here, says correspond
emit, who might be classed as one of the genius
g Schalawag," who was too lazy to work, but
picked up living by pettifogging, and other
means more or less equivocal, was caught by a
neighbor with rail on his back, which he had
just appropriated from said neighbours fence for
frewood i" Halo you old scoundrel what
are you stealing my fence for }" was the salu-
tation he received from the owner. The old fell
low turned round, rested one end of the rail on
the ground, and replied without the least en-
barrassment, 81 amt such a almighty sight
older than you are, you meddling old fool! !"
Then deliberately shouldering the rail he car
ried it home Slightly the " wrong tack!'
