Theodore Parker uttered the following
remarks touching woman:

Theodore Parker uttered the following
remarks touching woman:
There are three classes of woman
First domestic drudges who are
wholly taken up in the material details
Of their housekeeping and child-keeping.
Their housekeeping is trade, and no
more; and after they have done that,
there is no more that they can do. In
New England it is small class, getting
less every year.
Next there are domestic dolls, wholly
taken up with the vain show that de-
lights the eye aud ear They are orna-
ments Of the estate. Similar toys,
suppose, will one day be more cheaply
manufactured at Paris, Nuremburg, at
Frankfort -on-the e-Maln, and at other toy
shops in Europe, out of wax, paper-
mache, and sold in Boston at the barber
dashers by the dozen. These ask moth
ing beyond their functions as dolls, and
hate all attempts to elevate womankind
But there are domestic women, who
order a house, and arenot mere drudges,
adorn it, and are not mere dolls, but
women. Some of these--a great many
of them-conjoin the useful of the
drudge and the beautiful Of the doll into
one womanhood, and have a q eat deal
left besides They are wholly taken up
with their functions as housekeeper,
wife and mother,

TELEGRAPmC FREAK. --Of all freaks
of the telegraph, the following is the
most laughable which has come under
our personal knowledge Not long
since graduate from one of our east
ern theological schools was called to the
pastoral charge of a church in the ex-
treme southwest. When about to start
for his new parish, he was Unexpectedly
detained by the incapacity Of his pres
bytery to ordain him. In order to ex-
plain his nOn-arriyal at the appointed
time, he sent the following telegram to
the deacons of the church; "Presby-
terry lacked quorum to ordain." In
the course Of its journey the message
gotstrangely metamorphoscd, and dreach-
ed the astonished deacons in this shape,
"Presbytery tackled a worm on to
Adam" The sober church officers were
sOrely discomposcd and mystiIied, but
after grave consultation concluded it was
the minister's lacetious way of an
nouncing that he had got married, and
accordingly proceeded to provide lodg-
ings for two instead one,

"A man coming home one night
rather late, a little moro than "half seas
over" feeling thirsty, procured a glass
of water and drank it, In doing 80, he
swallowed small ball Of silk which lay
in the bottom of the tumbler, the end
ofthe thread catching in his teeth. Feel
ing something in his mouth, and not
knowing what it was, he began to pull
at the end, and the little ball unwinding,
he soon had several yards of thread in
his hand, and still no end, apparently.
Terrified, he shouted at the top of his
voice;-"Wife. wife. say, wife, come
here! am all unrayeing"

The Paris correspondent of the
London Morning Post writes: "The
female head has become a sort of mu-
scum for gold bands, canoes, butterflies,
and pendulous wreaths which hang nm
der the chin. On the forehead of the
fair one may be seen a number of small
curls with a comic twist, while the back
Of the head displays an enormous lump
of hair, which instead Of being kept to-
gether by the cabbage-net Of three or
four months ago, is now allowed to as
sumo more wild and picturesque as
pcct. On the crown of the head, and
between the two distinct compartments
Of the hairdresser's built-up creation,
small dab Of something which is still
called a bonnet, makes a fantastic "get-
up" eXquisitely eccentric"

SCREwNG on IRoN NUrs Nuts have
sometimes been found so tight that no
wrench could remove them. This was
because they had been held in the hand
till they became warm, and being then
applied to very cold screws in winter,
they contract by cooling while on, and
thus held the screw with an immovabIe
grasp. Always avoid putting a warm
nut on cold screw; and to remove it,
apply a large heated iron in contact with
the nut, so as to heat and expandit, and
it will loosen at once---or a cloth wetted
with boiling water will accomplish the
same purpose,

Held out in the morn of the day,-
OF the day that seems 50 long
Butwe hasten not Ours to reach them,
80 careless, SO sure of their stay;
Oh, negligent ones and wrong!
TOO late the night comes, and the dear hand

Spread out IN the fresh early morn, --
The morn with light so fair:
But we stay not to turn tLeir page-,
Nor tind the rich things that adurn,
Oh, volumes 50 sweet and rare!
LAID open one day for the eyes Of men,
Then closing never to open again.
There are doors that wait for our entrance
Wide opened to us in the day.
In the day that will not last -
But we llnger without, go careless.
We wander along on the way
And the golden hour is past

The doors close, never to open again."

And now there is time 1T iSddy!-

by going our own feeble way,
Forgetting the coming night
There is waiting one at the gates :--ah when

Dear heart, it is sad to 60 missing
Such sweetness and JOY by the way
The way that has many flowers!
Let us seek out the lOWliest blossom,
And gather some fragrance each day
In the early morning hours
For the thirest flowers God unfods to men
Soon close, hot to open on earth again
Dear heart, shall We pass by the fairest,
The sweetest, most wonderful flower
The pure wbiie .R0rer T0r tie soul?
