Of one of the Junior partners, Mr.. F. T. Smith
we are, from an intimate acquaintance, better
qualified to speak. He was successful merchant
in the Lower Valley at the commencement of the
war, but being true Southron, he sacrificed his
business and came within our lines attached him
self to Gen Imboden's Command, undergoing the
trials and dangerous incident thereto until the
close of the war. Possessing fine business quail

The True Standard Of Dress.

We are always excessive when we
sacrifice the higher beauty to attain
the lower one. 4 woman who will
sacrifice domestic affection, conscience,
seIf-rcspcct, honor, to love OF dress, we
all agree, loves dress too much. She
loses the true and higher beauty Of
womanhood for the lower beauty Of
gems, flowers and colOrs. 4 girl who
sacrifices to dress all her time, all her
strength, ali her money, to the neglect
OF the cultivation Of her mind and
heart, and to the neglect Of the claims
Of others on her helptulncss, is sacriti-
cing the higher to the lower beauty.
Her fault is not the love of beauty, but
loving the wrong and inferior kind.
In fine, girls, You may try your
selves by this standard. You love
dress too much when You care more
for your outward adornings than for
your inward dispositions; when it at.
ficts YOU more to have torn your dress
than to have lost your temper when
YOU are more troubled by an i'll fitting
gown than by Il neglected duty-whcn
YOU are less concerned at having made
an unjust comment, or spread scan
daIous report, than at having worn pas
Sc bonnot--when you are less troubled
at the thought Of being found at the
last great feast without the wedding
garment, than at being found at the
party tonight in the fashion Of last
year No christian woman, as | view
it, ought to give such attention to her
dress as to allow it to take up all Of
three very important things, viz: all
her time, oH her strength, al her mon
ey. Whoever does this lives not the
Christian but the Pagan life -worships
not at the Christian altar Of our Lord
Jesus, but at the shrine Of the lower
Venus Of Corinth and Romc.-Nrs.

A New IDEA-Hosy to keep Birds out
Of Cherry lrees-While riding through
the country a few days since with a
friend, the conversation turned upon
the prospects of the fruit crop By
the way said my companion, "a friend
Of mine informed me of new and
somewhat novel mode of keeping birds
from cherry trees, that as tried by
him, and which he says proved entire
ly successful 1t is simply putting a
cat in a box, made of strips of boards,
and placing it in the tree. The strips
were nailed far enough apart to pre-
vent pussy from escaping, and yet
rendered her perfectly visible. The
birds would come to the tree, but al
most instantly discover the box and
cat, and away they would go again
without a cherry! Birds are very an,
noying to persons who are fortunate
enough to have early cherries, and we
know Of great many devices that
have been resorted to, to preserve the
fruit from their ravages. The remedy
here suggested is very simple and with
in the reach Of all.

QUARRELING.-If anything in the
world will make Il man feel badly, ex-
cept pinching his fingers in the crack
Of a door, it is, unqucstionably, quar-
rel. No man ever fails to think less
of himself after it than before. 1t de-
G AIDES him in the eyes of others, and,
what is worse, blunts his sensibiities
on the one hand, and increases the
power Of passionate irritability on the
other. The truth is, the more peace
fully and quietly we get on, the better
for our ncighbors. In nine cases out
OF ten the better course is, if a man
cheats you, quit dealing with him; if
he is abusive, quit his company; and
if he ISLANDERS you, take care to live
that nobody will believe him. No
matter who he is, or how he misuses
you, the wisest way is to let him
alone; for there is nothing better than
this cool calm, and quiet way of deal
ing with the wrongs we meet with.

whole stump and roots extending thro'

that they were easily cradicated'
