rh,rty Centuries old.

The oldest relic of humanity extant Is
the skeleton of the earliest Pharaoh, in
cased In its original burial robes, and
wonderfully perfect considering Its age,
which was deposited eighteen or twenty
months ago i'm the British Museum, and
is Justly considered the most valuable of
Its archaeological treasures. The lid of
the coffin which contained the royal
mummy was inscribed with the name of
its occupant, Pharaoh Mykerimus, who
succeeded the heir Of the builder OF the
great pyramid, about ten centuries be-
fore Christ. Only think oft! The mon
arch whose crumbling bones and leath-
cry integuments are now exciting the
wonder OF numerous gazers In London
reigned in Egypt before Solomon was
born, aud about eleven centuries or so
after Misraim, the grandson of old father
n Noah and the first of the Pharaohs, had
been gathered to his fathers! Why, the
tide-mark of the deluge could scarcely
have been obliterated, or the. gopher
wood knee timbers of the ark have rot
ted on Mount Ararat, when this man of
the early world lived, moved, and had
his being? His flesh and blood were
contemporary with the progenitors of
the great patriarchl His bones and
shriveled skin are contemporary with
the nineteenth century, and the date of
the Crucfixion Is only about midway
between his era and ours.

How To sneesed.

One of the largest and most successful
shoe manufactures OF Lynn, worked
seven years upon his seat to get q capital
Of Si,l85, with which he commenced
business. His earnings during these
years were just five dollars week-two
hundred aud fifty dollars q year. He
paid two dollars week for board, and
made one dollar pay all other expenses,
thus saving one hundred and four dollars
a year. which, WITH the interest added,
and small amounts gaided in trade,
amounted in seven years To the sum
above named. The first year In business
he cleared flye hundred dollars, the. sec
ond thousand, and the third two thon-

and keeping his personal lexp penses down
to the old sum, three dollars per week.
As his means increased his operations

has done u very large and successful
business, and Ia known rs one of the best
and most liberal citizens, giving large
sums to charitable purposes. During
the year 1867 he did business of $S0O,'

N.xsr Too Lnta Learn.

II Is great mistake to suppose that
little. can be accomplished If u man has
reached the age of thirty or forty years.
Nine-tenths of the clever men have ac-
tually exhibited more vigor of intellect
at fifty years ofage than at forty. Frank
lin was forty before he began In earnest
to study philosophy. The principal of
one of the most fiourlshing colleges In
America, was farm servant till ho was
past the age wnen most students have
completed their collegiate educatioii.--
Sir Henry Spelman did not begin the
study of science until he was between
fifty and sixty years of age. Altieri,
whose writing has wrought a revolution
In the dramatic literature of Italy, was
left without father I'm his infancy, and
wasted early years. John Ogliby, the
author of poetical translatlons of Virgil
and Homer, began to study Latin when
considerably above forty years of age,
and Greek when In his fify-fourth.--
Boccacio. one of the most illustrious
writers that ever appeared in Italy, suf-
fered nearly the half of his life to pass
without improvement. Handel was
forty-eight before he published any of
his great works. DIR. Th0nas Arnold,
OF Rugby, learned German ut forty In
order that he might read Neibuhr In the
original. Let these examples tell upon
your character, invigorate and cheer you
In your undertakings. '

to strike 1t as hard rs he could. Shon,
not thinking that any harm could befall
him by doing so, struck blacksmith's
blow, but Instead OF hitting Yank's

Shon struck the fence board, knocking

doing up to him he said, sMynheer, I
show you one little trick for nodding."
As there was no fence or trse near, Shon
put his hand against his mouth and
said, "Strlke yust so hard as you can.'

ol,ty from Ignorance.

It Is ignorance which renders women
frivolous. When they arrive at GER
tain age, without habits of application,
they cannot acquire taste for 1t. What
ever Is serious appears to them sad;
whatever demands continued attention
fatigues them. The inclination for
amusement, which is strong In youth,
and the example of persons of the same
age, have inspired them with the dread
of an orderly and and laborious life.-
They do not understand the Importance
of domestic occupations, unless their
mothers have taken pains to instruct
them. In this state of things a girl
abandons herself to Incidence, which is
q languor of the soul. She accustoms
herself to sleep third more than is nec-
esary for her health. Too much sleep
enfeebles her, and renders her delicate;
whereas moderate sleep and regular ex-
ercse wouldproduceg gayetyand strength
Idleness and weakness being united to
ignorance, there arise from this union q
taste for pernicious amusement. Girls
brought up in this way have an ill-reg-
ulated imagination. Their curiosity,
not being directed to substantial things,
Is turned toward vain and dangerous
objects. They read books which nourish
their vanity. Their minds become Wis.,
isonary, and are spoiled for common
life.

THE difficulty of keeping sweet pota-
toes through the winter, unless one is
an extensive grower, has raised the ques-
ton whether they can not be dried and
still preserve their agreeable qualities.
Mr.. Francis Smith, of Baltimore, has
answered the question favorably, and
those who SOW only for home use will be
interested in his method. Mr.. Smith
uses for this purpose his drying tunnel,
which is a chamber of lath and plaster
twenty feet long and six feet in depth
and breadth, with peculiar furnace at
one end, a chimney of boards at the 9TH
er, capable OF preparing twenty-five
bushels of dried potatoes. They are
peeled by a little machine, and sliced
three -eighthsofan inch thick by another,
with great rapidlty. When dried,. they
have lost two-thirds of their weight,
weighing twenty pounds; are white, and
so fiinty that the knife makes but little
impression; but, when cooked (steam-
ing is the best), they resume their origi.
nal appearance, and are equal to the un-
dried root in It's best condition.

..she works for . Living.n


= We don't know who wrote the follow
ing lines, nor how often they have been
published and republished, but they
contain so many good points that they
are worthy to be started anew on the
sea of literature once or twice year:
Commend ms to the girl of whom It Is
sneeringly said, sshe works for living;'
In her we are always sure to find the
elements OF o true woman-a real lady.
True, We are not prepared to see a ninc-
ing step, a. naughty lip. a fashionable
dress, or hear airing of splendid nom
sense about the balls and young men,
the new novels and the next party-no,
no; but we are prepared to hear the
sound words of good sense, language
becoming women, neat dress, mild
brow, and to witness movements that
would not disgrace an angel.
You who are looking for wives and
companions, turn from the fashionable,
lazy and naughty girls, and select one
from those who work for a living, and
never-our word for twill you repent
your choice. You want substantial
friend, and not doll; n helpmate, and
not help-eat; a counselor. and not q
simplcton. You may not be able to
carry piano into your house, but you
Can buy spinning. wheel or set OF
knitting needles. If you cannot pur-
chase every new novel, you may be able
to take some valuable paper. II you
cannot buy ticket for the ball, you
can visit some afflicted neighbor.
BE careful, then, when you look for
companions, and when you choose. We
know many ~ foolish man, who, instead
of choosing an industrious and prudent
woman for wife, took one from the
fashionable stack, and il now lamenting
his folly In dust and ashes. He ran into
the fire with his eyes wide open, and
who but himself Is to blame. ia
The time was when the ladies went
Visiting and toOK their work with them.
This is the reason why we had such
excellent mothers. How singular would
gay woman look In a fashionable circle
darning her fathers stockings, or card
Ing wool to spin! Would not her com
panjons laugh at her? And yet such a
woman would be prize To somebody
Blessed is the man who chooses for his
wife from despised girls who work fol
their living" fltf6l. Hl8

Well, we can see no good reason why
farmers daughters should not learn mu-
sic and play the piano, or farmers boys
learn Latin. We think tho girls will
make better wives, for farmers or any
body else, and the boys better husbands,
better farmers, and better men general
ly, by being educated. And as to "Ma-
dame gaily dressed in satin," wo would
have them dress just as we'll as they can
afford to. 1t does not follow at all that
because n farmer eduoates his sons and
daughters, and his wife dresses well,
there must be"a mortgage on the farm"
On the contrary, we think the. mortga-
ges are oftener ON the farms OF the-uned-
ucated, ignorant and shiftless. The ed
ucated, intelligent farmer avails himself
of ali the improvements in his business,
is wide-awake and fully up with the
times, and If he gives a mortgage, as the
best Of men sometimes do, there will be
no danger of its being foreclosed. There
Is no life more independent than that OF
the Intelligent, educated farmsr.--[Tole-
