TThe following lines sent to us as original by
bright-eyed daughter of of the best farmers In
Waldo County. Knowing the kindness always dis
played, and the comforts enjoyed in her 'sweet,
sweet home" we do not wonder that she has resolv-
cd to join her fortunes tor life, only with some wor

of its originality, though do not recoect ever to

As surely as we know that vigorous plant
in spring will produce the largest fruits in au-
tumn, SO surely can we foresee the youth who
in the coming years OF manhood or woman
hood will make the strongest marks upon
their age and command the respect and hom-
age of the community. By their mental and
moral tendencies they toreshadow their APP
preaching characters and positions. When
young people despise parental restraints, hate
their school-rooms, scorn good book or pa
per, and are seldom seen pursuing any useful
and serious studies calculated to subserve the
purposes OF manly life; but instead,
are seen wasting precious hours in the haunts
OF idleness, folly and dissipation, it requires
no prophet to predict that these are the ones
from whose ranks the paupsrs, beggars and
conyicts of our prisons are to come-and this
at no very distant day. The fact is as inevita-
Bile as any law of nature. Stones were not
made to swim in water. Ignorance and vi
cious habits are millstones to any body's neck.
On the contrary, when you see sober
minded, steady lad or lass, who respects the
authority of father and mother, whose seat in
the school-room is regularly occupied, who
loves good book or paper, and prefers to
spend time in the company ofthose from whom
something useful can be learned, rather than
in the society of the idle and giddy, who re-
members the Sabbath day tokeep it holy, and
is an habitual attendant on the means of NOR
al and religious, as well as intellectual culture,
we may know, as well as anything can be
known, that these are the ones who, whether
they occupy public positions or not, will be
looked upon as the wise and honorable of
their age and generation.

Lady.

What is Lady? She is, an almoner of
good to the needy. The word Lady is an alb
brevialion of the Saxon "eofday," or loafday,
which signifies ''bread-giyer." The mistress
of the manor, at time when afauent fami-
lies resided constantly at their country man
sions, was accus somed, once week or often
er, to distribute among the poor certain
quantity of bread. She bestowed the gift with
her own hand, and made the hearts OF the
needy glad by the soft words and gentle ac-
tons which accompanied her benevoence.
The widow and the orphan arose up and call
ed her blessed; the destitute and afflicted re-
counted her praises; all classes Of the poor
embalmed her in their affections as the ''leot-
day." the giver of bread and the dispenser of
comfort sort of ministering spirit in world
OF sorrow. Who is a lady now?

A RAT TRAP.-Take tight barrel. with

water into it; draw over the top sheepskin
or piece of oi[cloth earpeting, and confine it
by string drawn around the upper end of

center, at right angles, to near the walls of
the barrel. Smear the, centre of the skin or
cloth with butter or grease mixed with meal,
or, what is better, scent the meal with oil of
rhodium. Set up board from the floor
against The top of the barrel for the rats to
walk up on. A little meal upon that viii do

barely leaving the top Of it above water the
first rat that falls in will climb thereupon and
set up a cry which will call perhaps the whole
family of rats to see what is the matter. As
each new conner enters upon the skin-covered
top Of the brTrel, he, too, is as suddenly intro
duced to the whereab puts of his alarmed COM
panion. In this way several rats may be ia

tried it say it is efiectual.

Queen Victoria. visi, to America.

When in London few years ago, we were
that Queen Victoria had a strong desire to
visit this country and be the first English
monarch who ever visited the British posses
sions in America The prints at home and in
Canada have from time to time announced
such intentions on the part Of Victoria. In
reference to this subject, one of our American
writers, Mrs. Stepens, pays the following de-
served tribute to the royal sovereign of Eng
land: s.-..s..
We hope she'll come, from the bottom of
our heart Not that we haven't seen her, or
that there is anything very wonderful in her
appearance-thou9h, at the time of her mar
rage sculptors did insist that she was as near
the Venus de Medicis as live woman was ey-
Ell known to be. Not that she is in blood and
law the sovereign of great nation, but be-
cause she is a greater and better thing-a
true woman,-wise without an effort to dis
play her wisdom-modest in the midst of
power-a faithful wife, and a fond, discreet
mother! This is why we wish to see Victoria
in Yankee land; Tor with our own weakness
regarding royalty, she may render wOmanl-
ness, modesty and faithfulness the fashion;
and virtues are something, even if caprice ex-
cites them. The truth is, Victoria is in every
respect perfect gentlewoman, and that is a
character which may be studied with great
effect in our age Depend upon it, however,
we shall see no Elizabeth in barbaric splend-
or, flirting with her statesmen one minute, or
cutting their ears the next; nor will she come
like the beautiful Queen Of Scots, bewitching
men to their ruin; nor like Catharine de Me-
dicis, with her hands red with slaughter But
she will come to us good woman, whose ex-
ample the purest girl in our country may fol-
low and become the better for it. Our Strong
minded women" may not find In her great
statesman or jurist, but she knows how to
submit to superior wisdom; and, though firm
in Justice, is never obstinate except when she
wishes to be merciful. Our fashionables will
be mistaken if they expect to meet royal
firt, ready to exhaust herself in German CO.
tilion, or join in the indelicacy of polka;
for all these things have long since been ex-
Guided from her drawing rooms; but they will
find faithful wife, acquainted intimately with
her own children, which should connt some
thing in these days of neglected nurseries and
easy divorces. In short, Victoria Is thorough
ly respectable-a thing that cannot be said of
all Queensland we for one would give the
brightest rose in the vase before US to see
crowned woman on this side the Atlantic
whose heart never swerved 10 the seductions
OF the court she rules, and. whom power has
never tempted into arrogance; sovereign
who has no adverse party, and lady who.
in this slanderous age, has never had word
Of blame cast on her womanliness.
