Saturday Night.

What blessed things Saturday nights
are, and what would the world do without
them! These breathing moments in the
tramping march Of lie; those little twilights
in the broad glarish glare Of noon when the
pale yesterdays look beautiful through the
shadows, and faces changed long ago smiled
sweetly again-when one remembers the
old folks at home, and the old fashioned
fire, and the little brother that died, and
the little sister "transplanted."
Saturday nights make people human; Sc
their hearts to beating slowly, as they uset
to do, before the world turned them into
war-drums and Jared them TO pieces Will
tattoo.
he ledger closes with crash ; the iror
door Of the vault comes to with bang; uy
60 the shutters with will; clink goes the
key in the lock. 1t is Saturday night, and
the business man breathes free again
Homeward, no ! The door that has beer
ajar all the week gently closes behind him
the world is shut out. Shut out ! Shu
in rather, Here are his treasures after
all, and not in the vault in the record
of the old family Bible and not in ths
bank.
May bo you are a bachelor, forty and
frosty. Then poor fellow, Saturday nigh
is nothing to you, just as you are nothing
to anybody. Get wife, biue.eyed O.
black-cyed, but above all get eyed
get little home, no matter how little, ant
little sofa just to hold two and half il
it of Saturday pight; and then read thi
paragraph by the light of your wife's eyes
and thank God and take courage.
The dim and dusty shops are swept up
the hammer is thrown down, the apron i
dofed, and the laborer hastens with ligh
step homeward bound.

Married Life.
The following paragraph is from the
PooubIicn7,.

The following paragraph is from the
Springfield Republican;
Married life has its trials and its sorrows
Tempers may prove incompatible, and call
for forebearance. Fortune may be chary
of its favors and enforce self denial -
Children may be ungratcful, and sting the
poor heart that has pillowed them. Sick.
ness may come and haunt household fol-
years. But ask the poor man, struggling
with his debts, and the weary woman
toiling early and late, accomplishing the
ruin of all her beauty and her buoyancy,
if they would be placed apart could COM
petence be given them, and all their trial.
be brought to an end, The answer would
be, "there is something sweeter than the
world can offer from its storehouse of joys
outside of it, and something that would
make even severer trials than ours, only
iron bands to draw us more closely to
gether."

Country Girls.

Mrs. Victoria Fuller, in tho Ohio Cui,
'ivator, in sisterly way, thus talks to
country girls
The farmers daughters are soon to be
the life as we'll as pride of the country a
glorious race of women which no other
land can show. | seek not to flatter them,
for before they can become this they will
have to make earnest efforts Of one or two
kinds. There are some who depreciate
their condition; and some who have
false pride in it, because they demand
more consideration than they merit. A
want of intelligence upon all subjects, and
Of refined education, is no more excusable
in country than town bred girl, in this
age Of books and newspapers.
Many girls are discouraged because they
cannot be sent away from home to board
ing schools; but men of superior minds and
knowledge Of the world would rather have
for wives women well and properly educa.
ted at homo. And this education can be
had wherever the desires are not wanting.
A taste fer reading docs wonders, and an
earnest thirst after knowledge is almost
certain to attain sweet draught Of tho
"picrian spring" There is a farmers
daughter 10 this very room in which I am
writing, beautiful, refined ard intellectual
woman, in whose girlhood books were not
as plentiful as now, and who gained her
fine education under circumstances which
would have discouraged any one but ono
who had true love of study.
Town girls have the advantage Of more
highly polished manners and greater ac-
oomplshments but country girls have
infinitely more to recommend them as rivals
of their fair city sisters, They have more
true household knowledge and economy,
health, and consequently beauty, simplicity,
affection, aud freshness Of impulse and
thought. When they have cultivated minds
there are more chances in their favor for
good sense and real ability, because so
much is not demanded by the frivolities of
society. The added lustre of foreign
accomplishments could easily be caught by
such mind from very little contact with
the music.

Many brilliant scholars and talented womer

they ought to be, if they will but unite

The Grave of James Madison
Opened.

The Richmond South gives an interesting
account of tho opening of the grave of
James Madison, for the purpose CT laying
the foundation of monument TO bis mem.
ory. Hero is description Of the monu-
ment:-
The monument is CT James River granite,
in form an obelisk, and as graceful and
appropriate as anything could be. 1t is
composed of seven pieces Of stone, two of
which measure five feet by seven, and weigh
over nine thousand pounds; two others,
which measure four feet by two feet, wei sh-
ing over six thousand pounds; another,
two feet ten inches by two feet, weighs
three thousand pounds; and another, thir-
teen feet long, twenty-five inches at its
base, and thirteen inches at the top, weighs
tea thousand pounds. The gross weight CT
the entire monument is about 90 900 lbs.
Il rises just twenty. four feet above the level
of the burying ground. The height of the
monument proper is just twenty-five feet
six inches, but the foundation on which it
rests being raised some eighteen inches
above the surface, adds thai much to the
! apparent height of the monument. About
nine feet from the base is chisellcd the
following inscription:
MADISON,
BORN MARCH 10TH, 1851.
Dsed June 2sth, 1896.
The appearance of the coffin and corpse
is thus described:
In digging for suitable foundation il
became necessary to go below the coffin
which was consequently exposed to view
The boards placed above the coffin had
decayed; but no earth had fallen upon it
and everything appeared to be as wher
the coffin was deposited there, except tha
the coffin lid was slightly out of place al
lowing partial view of the interior. A
there were no fastenings to prevent, tn
port Of the lid covering the superior por
ton Of the body was raised and the severa
gentlemen present looked in upon the re
mains of the great Virginian. The coffi
itself, of black walnut, was in perfect pre-
servation, and the int, rior vas nearly file
t with q species of moss, which adhered te
naciously to tie wood.
Beneath this, and partly hidden by i
were few of the larger and harder bone
The lower jaw had fallen away, the bone
Of the breast and the ribs were gone, an
/ the only parts of the skeleton which re
mained were the skull and portions of til
cheek bones. the vertebra of the neck, tn
,, spine and the large bones of the arm. A
else of the upper part Of the body had re
turned to the dust from whence it wa
taken, and in few years more every trac
of the body will disappear, until the trum
of the resurrection shall re-unite the seal
! tered particles, The body had been interre
just twenty one years.
On reaching sufficiently firm ground, ii
; foundation was commenced and built up q
two walls, one each side of the coffin, unit
it reached sufficient height, when it wa
arched over the coffin, and then built u
solid to the surface, thus forming vaul
2 in which rest the remains of Madison
r precisely beneath the centre of the mont
ment. The foundation was made of har
,, surface stone, gathered off the Montpeiie
farm, within a short distance of the gray
1 yard.
