The Etymology of Lady.

The statement of Colonel Benton, that the
word lady' is now here used in the Scriptures,
is so far as the original is concerned; literally
true. The word itself is of comparatively mod
ern invention, and there is no word in the orlgi-
nal of the Scriptures that has any slgnihcation
corresponding with that of the word " lady, as
at present received. In view Of the subject the
following, clip is from an old Scotch publication
called "9The Christian Teacher -
" A LADY. ."-The word lady is an abbrevia-
ton of the Saxon Latfday which signifies Bread
giyer. The mistress of manor, at time when
afluent families resided constantly at their coun-
try mansions, was accustomed once a week, or
oftener to distribute among the poor certain
quantity of bread. She bestowed the boon with
her own hand and made the hearts of the needy
GLAD by the soft words and the gentle amenities
which accompanied her benevolence. The wld-
ow and the orphan rose up, and called her
blessed-the destitute and the afflicted recounteo
her praises-all classes of the poor embalmed her
in their affections as the Lafday-the glver OF
bread and dispenser of comfort "a sort OF MINIS
terinr angel in world of sorrow. Who lsa LADY
now I? Is 1t she who spends her daysln self-indu-
Ience. and her nights in the dissipation Of folly
Is it She who rivals the gaiety of the butterfly
but hates the industrious hum Of the busy beer
Is it she who wastes, on gaudy tnery, wha'
would make many a awidow's heart sing for JOY
and who, when the rags Of the orphan hutter be-
fore her in the wind, sighs for place of refuge
as if the pestlence were in the breeze2 This ma,
be q woman of fashion she may be an admit
ed and an admiring follower of the gay World

Qualities of Hay.

Timothy for muscle, clover for milk, corn for
fat The timothy should be cured in full bios
som. or little latter Glover should be cut
when first reddening, before it is fully matured.
This is the time, and the only time, to cut clover.
Then all the nutritive juices are in perfection.
Such hay--or grass cured-has slight laxative
tendency-iust what is wanted in winter. 1t
will be greedily eaten, even when somewhat
touched with mould-and give milk with profu-
sion. This never fails. On the other hand, tim
othy, instead of secreting milk will form muscle
hence, the hay for horses, and hence preferred SC
generally. Straw when early cut and properly
cured, not dried-has somewhat the quality OF
clover. But oh, how neglectful we are about
the curing of straw, when it is one Of the hnest
employments. There is a fragrance about such
straw, and the pale green tint which make 1t
valuable and most pleasant fodder.
Timothy, then, for horses clover Tor mlcn
cows and straw, well cured and cut for either
II is excellent to mix with meal, or feed carrots
and beets with. We would, when thus fed, make
but little difference between good barleyor even
oat straw, when early and properly cured, ano
timothy for stock, especially cows In milk. Fol
vonnq stock, tender timothy is excellent. W.
are SO reckless in feeding. Wefeed promiscuous
". we feed what we have to feed without taking
much pains to geta proper selection or to prepar
II we'll. For instance, we feed cornstalks, raised
on purpose for fodder, when yet this is one o
the cheapest and one of the best hays that can b
fed and in the summer, in a drought it is OF tn
greatest advantage, fed out green. .--Rurdt World

Nl.aa,. C,.eAI. Rlns

rs The Syracuse Joarnal-always till now
devoted to the principles of Governor Seward as
we'll as to his political fortunes--says;
"On the llth of September, 1850, William
H. Seward said at Madison, Wisconsin
4" 1t has been by a simple rule Interpretation
l have studied the Constitution of my country
That rule has been simply this That by no
word no act no combination into which, might
enter, should any one human being of all the
generations to which belong, much less any
class of human beings of any nation, race or kim
dred, be oppressed and kept down in the least
degree in their efforts to rise to higher state OF
liberty and happiness. Applause. Amid all
the CLOSES Of the times, and amid all the essays
and discussions to which the Constitution OF the
United States has been subjected, this has been
the simple, plain, broad light in which / have
read every article and every section of that great
instrument. Whenever it requires OF me that
this hand shall keep down the humblest of the
human race then will down power place, po-
sition, fame everything, rather than adopt such
construction of such rule.
g The William H. Seward that uttered these
noble words no longer survives. lie has Deen
succeeded by another William ii. Seward who
believes in keeping down four millions OF human
beings in their efforts to rise to higher state
ofliberty and happiness, and who nevertheless
holds on 10 power, pIdeei PoeltlOn. H0U 10
keep green the memory of the old William ID.
Seward while we pity and forget that other fee
BILE individual who claims the same name"
The Utica Herald in the same spirit says
1t has been our habit to confde in VIM. II.
Seward. We remember when, faithful among
the faithless' he held high the banner OF liberty
and human right, and his ringing words aroused
the country like clarion. We cannot forget
the services he rendered to that cause through
trying years in the Senate when great men fell
away from it. History will make mention that
he steered the ship of state amid foreign breakers
and storms, when false movement of the rudder
would have ruined it. His name is subscribed to
the Emancipation Proclamation, with that OF
Lincoln. He cannot if he would sever his name
from the destruction of slavery in the land
Weary with cares and with years, does he now
refuse to go further in the work of establishing
liberty and securing justice? Jubilant over what
has been gained, is be ready to forgive his ola
enemies So far no one can complain. II IS
when Mr. Seward prefers enemies to friends,
when he throws his influence for reaction, when
he casts away the records of his life land enters
ON a role in which success is infamy, he must go
| without the associates who have held him up
heretofore, without the inspiration of the prncl-
ples which have made him all he is"

TOMORROW.

Did we but know what lies beyond
This varied, shadowy vale we tread,
How often would our souls despond,
Our eyes the tears of sorrow shed!
But God, who knows what's best to do
Who sees us from his starry throne,
Has wisely hidden from our view
That which had better stay unknown.
We walk to-day in conscious pride,
And hang the flag of hope on high;
But ah tomorrow by our side,
Some friend may lay him down and die;
Some early flower that won our praise,
Some altar where we laid our trust,
Some flower, ere dies the evening rays,
May trampled be and laid in dust.
Youth dreams of many glorious things, -
AS on he hies on pleasures track;
Each day some new borne promise brings,
He turns no eye to sorrow back; ~.
The fowery fields are all before,
His eyes ON some bright star are set;
Life is to him o sunny shore,
He'll learn it has its shadow yet.
Tomorrow In its secret shade,
little know what is for me;
may be with my father laid, -
Or wrecked on dire misfortune's sea;
But far beyond life's boundary lives
The everlasting army bright;
And He alone, who takes and gives,
Can guide my wandering feet Alright.
