Be a Woman.

OF I've heard gentle mothcr,
As the twilight hours began,
Pleading with son on duty,
Urging him to be Il man.
But unto her blue-eyed daughter,
Though with loves words quite as ready
Points she out the other duty,
''S,riye, my dear, to he lady
What's q lady Is il something
Made OF hoops, and silks, and airs,
Used to decorate the parlor,
Like the fancy rugs and chairs
Is it one that wastes on novels
Every feeling that is hunans
If.tis this to be II lady.
It's not this to be Il woman.
Mother, then, unto your daughter
Speak of something higher far,
Than to be mere fashions lady
"Woman " is the brightest star,
If ye, in your strong affection,
Urge your son to be true man,
Urge your daughter no less strongly
10 rise up and be a woman.
Yes, n woman-brlghtcst model
OF that light and perie beauty
There the mind and soul, and body,
Blend to work ont life's great duty
Be a awonan-naught Is higher
On the gilded list of fame
On the catalogue Of virtue
There's no brighter, holer name.
Be a woman--on to duty.
RAISE the world from all that's low,
Place high in the social heaven
Virtues fair aud radient bow
Lend thy influence to each effort
That shall raise our nature human;
Be not fashions gilded lady,
BE q brave, true, Whole-souled woman.

WHY cannot apples be raised in the shor"
towns in this country Is it because of the
East winds, or of the frequent fogs, or because
of the prevalence OF much salt IN the air dur
ing the Eastcrly weather, or because OF the
want of the necessary attention to the proper
care OF the trees? Ii seems to MS that there ara
many farms in this country. and near the sea
board too, where apples could be made to flour
ish with proper attention. VIII some oi our
farmers turn their attention to this matter anu

Without sacrificing economy in ar
rangement or material, the plan select
ed by tho Trustees combines a digni-

of the parts Of the building, which will
make it one of tho most attractive Of
our public Institutions in appearance,
and one which will undoubtedly be ex-

reasons for concluding that the plan
