AN ELEGANT CAR.

We had the pleasure yesterday after
noon of examining an elegant Passen-
ger Coach, built at the Machine Shop
OF the Orange, Alexandria and Manas-
sas railroad in Alexandria, under the
superintendance of Mr.. John Nall. who
has charge of that department OF the
shops. The painting Was done by Mr..
Charles +. Rudd, and ls moss elaborate
ly ar dbealtifully executed. The Coach
is provided with all the modern I'M
provements, and in fact, in all its ap-
pointments is real "Palace," and does
Infinite credit to the skill and taste OF
the builders. The beauty OF finish,
taste in design, as well as the substan-
tial character of the work constitute 1t
one of the handsomest cars we have
seen, unsurpassed by any made in the
Northern Works, and equalled by but
few of them. With this specimen OF
what our Home people can do, we can
but esteem it pity that the railroad
companies in the South do not make
their own cars, and assert their inde-
pendence of N orthern Manufacturers.
This elegant Coach is attached to the
train conducted by our old and esteem
ed friend, Capt. q. q. Moore, one oi
the politest, most atfable, and most ac-
commodating railroad officials in all the
land, who deserves just such q "Pal-
ace" in which to exhibit his unfailine
courtesy and kindness to all who have
the pleasure OF travelling under his
charge.

NUMBER Z.
OLD LADIES,

The world is notorlously unjust to its
veterans, and above all it is unjust to
its ancient females. Everywhere, and
from all time, an old woman has been
taken to expresf the last stage OF use
lessness and exhaustion; and while u
meeting of bearded dotards goes by the
name of council of sagcs, and its de-
liberations are respected accordingly, a
congregation of palsied matrons is moth
ing but congregation Of old women,
whose thoughts and opinions on any
subject whatsoever have no more value
than the chattering Of Sc many magpies.
In tact tho poor old ladies have a hard
time of it; and if we look at it in its
right light, perhaps nothing proves
more thoroughly the coarse flavor of
the worlds esteem respecting women
than this disdain which they excite
when they are old. And yet what
charming old ladies one has known at
times--women quite as charming In
their own way atseyenty as their grand
daughters are at seventeen, and all the
more so because they have no design
now to be charming, because they have
given up the attempt to please for the
reaction OF praise, and long since have
consented to become physically old,
though they have never dr!tted into un-
personablenees or neglect. While re-
tanning the intellectual yivacity and ae-
tive sympathies of maturity, they have
added the softness, the mellowiess, the
temperlng got only from experience
and advancing age; they are women
who have seen and known and read a
great deal, and who have suffered much.
but whose sorrows have neither harden
ed nor soured them-rather have made
them even more sympathetic with the
sorrows of others, and pitiflll for all the
young. The fashionable old lady who
haunts the theatres ard drawing-rooms,
bewigged, befrizzled, painted, CHASTITY
in her vain attempts to appear young,
h deous in her frenzied clutch at the
pleasures melting from her grasp, des-
perste in her wild hold on q lite that is
passing away from her SO rapidly,
knows nothing of the quiet dignity and
Happiness of her ancient sister who has
been wise enough to renounce before
she lost.
The very dress of old ladies Is in it.
self study and revelation of charac-
ter. There are the beautiful old women
who make themselves like old pictures
hy profusion of soft lace and tender
greys; and the stately old ladies who at
iect rich rustling silks and scmbre vel
vet; and there are the original and in
dividual old ladies', who dress them
selves after their own kind, like Mrs.
Basil Montagu and Miss Jane Porter,
and have catchet of their own, with
which fashion has nothing to do.

SLEEP AND DEATH.

"To love life without fearing DEATH"
said Hufeland, is the only means of liv-
ing happy and dying at a good old age.
People who dread death seldom attain
longevity. Ii death presents itself to
us Under repulsive and terrifying as
pect, it is solely owing to our habits
and prejudices having perverted our
feelings. Montaigne justly said that it
is the darkening the room, the faces full
of grief and desolation, the moaning
and crying, that make death terrific
Civilization, by investing death with
the most lugubrIous associations that it
can conjure up, has also contributed to
rendering it hideous spectre. 1t is
the reverse with the patient. In nine
cases out OF ten death Is not only re-
lief, but almost sense of voluptuous-
ness. Sleep daily teaches us the reali-
ty OF death. "Sleep and death are
twins" said the poet OF antiquity
Why, then, should we fear death, when
we daily invoke its brother as a friend
and consolation? "Life." said Buff
fon, ebegins to fail long before it is ut
terly gone" Why, then, should We
dread the last moment, when We are
prepared fer its advent by so many
other moments of a similar character!
Death 10 as natural as life. Both come
to US in the same way, without our con-
sciousaess, without our being able to
determine the advent of either. No
one knows the exact moment when he
goes to sleep, none will know the exact
moment Of mia death. Iti certain that
death is generally pleasurable feeling.
Lucan used to say that life would be
unsupportable to man if the gods had
not hidden from him the happiness he
would experience in dying. Tullius
Marcellinus, Francis Suarez, and the
philosopher La Metric, all spoke fthe
voluptuousness of their last moments.
Such are the consultations which phil
osophy presents to tiInid minds that
dread death, We need not say what
much higher and loftier consultations
await the Christian who is firm and
steadfast in his faith, and has before him
the prospect of eternal lite.

TO KEEP CELLARS FROM FREEZING.

An agricultural friend, at our sugges-
lion, has tried an experiment with
cellar OF an clubhouse, in which on sew
eral occasions vegetables have frozen,
although the cellar waa fortified against
frost by process known to farmers as
..banking.' The walls and the ceiling
were pasted over with four or five
thicknesses of old newspapers, cur
tain of the same material being also
pasted over the small low windows at
the top of the cellar. The papers were
pasted to the bare joists overhead,
leaving an air space between them and
.he floor. He reports that the papers
carried his roots through last winter,
though the cellar WAS left unbanked,
and he is confident they have made the
cellar irost-proof.
We do not counsel the special use OF
old newspapers for this purpose. 1t is
lust as well or better to use coarse
brown paper Whatever paper is en-
ploved, it will be necessary to sweep
down the walls thoroughly. and to use
a very strong size to hold the paper to
the stones. 1t is not necessary to
press the paper down into all the de-
pressions of the wall; every air space
beneath it is an additional defense a.
painst the cold.

MISCELLANEOUS.


At Austin, Texas, on the 9th of No
vember, Irish potatoes were selling at
four dollars per bushel, sweet potatoes
one dollar.
An Alderney COW belonging to Mr..
| Turner, of Northfield Farms, Mass.
has been kept on an ordinary pasture,
aud fed with small mess of green corn
| fodder and two quarts OF wheat bran.-
| In thirty -one days, between the 10th
| of August and the goth of September,
| from the milk OF this cow, sixty five
pounds of frat quality butter were
made.
PANT pots and brushes are among the
good odinvestments upon the farm. They
are suggestive OF carefulness and thrift.
The essential materials in a good paint
are linseed oil and white leak. Color
| ing matter is cheap, and not much OF it
| is needed to give any desired shade
| n OF much skill Is required in the mix
| ing, and any farmer can soon learn to
paint his own buildings, tools, vehicles
and fences.
There is more butter shipped from
st. Albans, (Vt.,) depot, than from any
other in the country. The shipment
fora week recently was 2074 tube, the
| average price thirty five cents per
pound. This is but a sample of what is
taking place there every week. 1t
shows the advantage OF making good
| article, aud in SO large an amount as to
attract buyers from distance.
The famous Dutch cow, rsxalaar, be-
longing TO Mr.. Chenery of Belmont,
has produced rs pounds ounces of milk
in one day--over 30 quarts -and an av-
erage of 633 pounds per day tor G3stc-
cessive days.
The late severe weather has inflicted
immense injury, far and wide, on the
apple crop in the southern part of Wis
consin-the largest and finest that has
been seen for years.
The price of wheat in Iowa is lower
than at any time since the breaking out
| of the war. The average price, taking
/, the State together, is about so cents per
bushci.
A farmer in Bloomington, ILL.,, has
raised this season specimens of Patago-
| nan corn, raised from seed obtained
from sailor who had visited that coun-
try. The ears are small, and only a.
bout three inches in length. The grain
| is yellow and hard.
