I confess that increasing yeats bring with
them. an Increasing respect for men who do
not succeed in life, as. those words are com
monty used. Heaven is said to be a place
for those who have not succeeded on Garth !;
and it is sure that celestial grace does not
thrive and bloom in the hot blaze of worldly
prosperity. I'll success sometimes arises
from a lperabuhdance of qualities in them
selves good from conscience too sensitive,
taste too fastidious, self forgetfulness too
romantic, and modesty too retiring. I will
not go 50 far as to say, with Ia; living poet,
that "the world knows nothing of its men, -
but there are forms Of greatness, or at least
excellence, which l''die ana make no sign;;".
there are martyrs. that miss the palm but
not the stake; heroes without the laurel and
conquerors without the triumph" '.i

An Extinct Family

It is curious fact that there are no known
descendants of Christopher Columbus left on
earth. He had two sons, one of whom,
Don Diego, rose to distinction as an admir-
al, and the other, Fernando, as scholar
Ferdinand was traveller. He not only
thrice visited America, but subsequently,
traversed the whole of Europe and almost
every accessible portion Of Asia and Africa,
He appears to have been a profound scholar
and a thoroughly good man In his will he
stipulated that his library, containing twenty
thousand volumes, which he gave to the Ca
thedral of Seville, should be free to the PEG
pie, and it is to this day. From books in
this collection the late Washington irving
obtained considerable portion of the infol-
nation on, which his ''Life Of Columbus"
was founded, The following quaint cpitaph,.

this reason we would rather avoid than pre-
fer to SOW it, as is usual with common clo-

abound on stubble fields, might, and proba-

Advice To Girls.

Young ladies, the whole secret with nine
tenths of you. of not being able to secure
good husbands, is simply that you do not
know how to work. You have no knowledge
of practical house keeping, and consequently
are useless as helpmates Instead OF being
an assistant to husband you are an obstacle
to his success. Your style, too, is incom-
patiblc with his means You want to be-
gin house keeping where your parents left
off; not as they began, and there are few
young men, who have not already good in
come, Can afford to marry you.
There are no possible objections to the ac-
complishments of music, painting, and the
like, but the idea is to be able to set these
prior amusements aside, for the stern duties
Of married life call for your practical knowl-
edge. Show the young man that YOU can
do your part at double business, and that
you will not be dead expense to him through
l..o Believe us, young friends, as many
true, patriotic, womanly hearts beat over
household duties as futter beneath the soft
light of parlor chandelier. Your kiss is
just as sweet, your heart as happy and ten
der after the days ezertions in a sphere
worthy Of true womanhood, as'in the places
of dissipation. trippery and silly amusement.
Have an ambition to do your part in life,
cultivate industrious habits, and let the par
lor accomplishments go with the higher ac-
oomplishments we have roughly enumerated.
It is astonishing how soon domestic young
lad is found out and appreciated. It be-
cause she is such an exception to the gener-
al rule-Ec

are three Cheese factories with

largest makes about 250 pounds
of cheese per day, each OF the two
Others about half that quantity
The cheese is preferred by most
persons to that brought from the
North or West. 1t is mild and
rich. Ten pounds of milk, l was
informed, yields about one pound
of cheese. The business, with
each of the factories, is a success
as all the cheese they make il
readily sold, and at a priee-2C

cept the outlay for COWS, the cap

has invested in it, / learn, only
