Do-Nothing Young Ladies,

At a recent social gathering a young lady in
formed me that she never sewed What do you
suppose was the nature of my reflections on hear
ing that declaration? / said to myself, either
that girl speaks falsely, or else she is very lazy.
Never sews Who then, querled, makes your
dresses and cloaks, your skirts and bow? Who
repairs the rips In your pretty galter, boots ana
darns the holes in your stockings? Is it your
aged mother, or your more industrious sister
Or do you hire all your sewing done? Should
this last supposition be the case, may you never
marry! And the chances are you never will.
Not one young man in hundred can afford to
marry woman who habitually neglects house
hold duties Young man, if it should ever be
your fortune to hear woman declare that she
never sews, beware, shun her as you would the
chills and fever Be insane enough to make
such an one your wife, and before the honey
moon is over the horrors of button-less shirts
and heelless hose will be upon you; your fair
lady sewing would be done by others, while
she moped in idleness, or rioted in fashionable
dissipation. Then farewell to your dreams of
domestic felicity; they would fade as summer
flowers at the touch of frost. | have repeated
ly heard ladies, educated and intelligent ladies,
declare with actual pride, their ignorance Of the
art of cooking. ''They could not make a cup
of coffee to save their lives; and as to making
loaf of good bread or cooking asimple dinner,
that is OUT OF their power. fOOr miserable un
fortunates! Doubtless, mothers are much to
blame for thus neglecting their daughters edu-
cation, but surely there is no sensible girl who
could not, by the exercise of little energy,
perfect herself in this most needful branch of
domestic knowledge. False pride, in almost
every case, is the only barrier in the way.

The Chess Board.

Ny little love, do you remember,
Ere we were grown so sadly wise,
Those evenings in the bleak December,
Curtained warm from the snowy weather
When you and played chess together,
Checkmated by each others eyes
All still see your soft white hand
lowering warm O er queen and knight,
Brave pawns in valiant battle stand,
The double castles guard the wings,
The bishop, bent on distant things,
Moves sliding through the fight.
Our fingers touch, our chances meet,
And falter; falls your golden hair
Against my cheek your bosom sweet
Is heaving. Down the field your queen
Rides slow, her soldiery between,
And checks me unaware.
All mel the little battles done;
Dispersed is all its chivalry
Full many move, since then have We
Mid life's perplexing checkers made,
And many game with Fortune played
What is it we have won?
This, this at least-if this alone
That never never, nevermore,
AS in those old still nights of yore
Ere we were grown so sadly wise)
Can YOU and shut out the skies
Shut out the world and wintry weather,
And, eyes exchanging warmth with eyes,
Play chess, as then we played, together?
A frog he would wooing go,
His hair was curled to kill,
He used to wear an old gray coat.

WHOLE MEAL BREAD-It is well known to
chemists and Psychologists that the very finely
after, is far less nutritious than what is termed
middlings or unbolted -four. The most nutri-
tons ingredients Of the grain-the wheat phos-
pilates and gluten-are removed to obtain the
desired whiteness. Dr. Henry McCormac, an
eminent physician of Belfast, Ireland, in some
interesting remarks on the subject, says:
"What [ want to see everywhere is the pre-
paration of whole meal bread-bread including
the bran, with the barn gluten and the bran
phosphates, SO all-essential to good bread and
the nurture of our flesh and bones. But [ do
not think that the working classes, to whom it
is so important, will ever take to it fully until
set the example by the more instructed classes. :"

The attention of Farmers is respectfully called
to these machines, as being the best, cheapest,
and combining more advantages than any others.
The Iron Harvester as hand Raker cannot be
equalled in durability, simplicity of mechanism,
and lightness of draught. 1t being coupled as
wagon which effectually obviates all side drafts.
1t is a combined machine working equally well
in grain or grass.
The Excelsior Reaper and Moaoer

ity of construction, ease Of management, cheap
ness, durability, and general utility. AS a self
raker or dropper it is the BEST the grain being
dropped from the platform at the will of the dri-
yer, in better condition than than any reaper can
that has no .'cut off rod which no other machine
has but the troopers. The Excelsior is COM
bined machine; it can be changed from reaper
to perfect mower and from a mower to a per-
feet reaper in a few minutes. The Excelsior as
mower is far superior to all others. All we ask
