boys and men, on the one one side, and
girls and women on the other. This phase

but for what especial reason none but
themselves know; for however pleasant
this state of existence may be 10 those

ease the dignity of womanhood; she ess
chews pantaletts and short frocks, and in.
stead of letting her hair fall in ringlets
over her shoulders, or tying it in braids,

CURE FOR CO0uETRY.


Kate Selden was country lass, fair,
stout, and rosy. With all these aitrac.
tions il may be imagined that she was The
belle Of The village, the object Of admira-
ton to dozen or more rustic swans.
OF course Kate was conscious OF her
power-it did not take her long to learn
that-and coquetry came by intuition.
Among her admirers was one-Will.

secretely gave the preference But she
was not going 10 yield her consent al once

Now Kate said he; as they sat to

large kitchen where Kate was engaged in

next day, Kate, why can't you tell me

Kate didn't believe this in the least, SO
she continued 10 tease him. At the end
OF the time mentioned, William rose with
sigh and saying, Farewell forever,

Arrived at the brink Of the well, he
pushed in heavy log which lay beside
it. Kate heard the splash, and rushed
out to the well. William was nowhere 10

MAPLE SUGAR.-In 1850 there was
made in the United States thirly.lour and
quarter millions of pounds Of maple
sugar. This was about one.seventh as
much as there was made OF cane sugar;
so that cane sugar is se"en times as Plen'
ty as maple sugar. but maple sugar we
think is seven times better.
OF this 34t million pounds Maine made
but SO 542 pounds. New Hampshire
made more than a million and quarter
Vermont more than six millions of pounds.
Massachusetts more than seven hundred
and and ninety five thousand pounds
Connecticut more than fifty thousand,
and New York more than ten million o.
pounds.
Most of our farmers in the interior o
