NoTEs-MAINLY AsoUT WOMEN.

A young lady spends part of each
evening in wandering about the streets
of Newark, New Jersey, and writing
upon the pavements, in bold letters in
chalk, warnings to the impenitent.
The Washington Star says a beautiful
lady in one of our street cars is report
ed to have actually refused to accept a
sea: from working man, saying he
must be tired after his days labor.
Ruskin lately asked Spurgeon: "Spur
geon, where do you think would go if
| should die now?" ssTo hell and be
damned" "Well, that's frank. I've
asked several preachers that question,
and they evaded it,"
A young man IN Columbus, Ohio,
committed suicide by taking laudanum
on Tuesday because young lady to
whom he was engaged to be married
was dying of consumption. The lady
| died the same day.

mother-in- law: "What affords me pleas

MoRING IN SUMMER,

There is parting in nights murky veil,
A soft pale light is in the eastern sky;
1t steals along the ocean tremblingly,
Like distant music waited on the gale
Stars, one by one, grow faint, and disap-
pear,
Like waning tapers, when the feast is DER !;
While, girt with rolling mist, the noun
tains hoar
High DER the darEling glens their tops up
rear.
There is.a gentle rustling in the grove,
Though winds be hushed: it is the stir OF
wings,
And now the skylark from the nest up
springs,
Trilling, in accents clear, her song Of love ;
And now heavens gate in golden splendor
burns
Joy to the earth, the glorious sun returns

WHEN TO MARRY.

The longer woman remains single,
the more apprehensive will she be OF
entering into the state of wedlock. AT
seventeen or eighteen, a girl will plunge
into it, often without the least fear; at
twenty, she begins to think; at twenty
four, weigh and discriminates; at TWEEN
ty-eight, will be afraid ofventuring; at
thirty, will turn about and look down
the hill she assembled, and sometimes
rejoice, and sometimes repent, that she
has attained that summit. 1t is to be
feared, however, that the repentant
class predominate, from feelings OF re-
morse through early coquetry.

A TRUTH FOR HISTORY.

At the dedication of a monument c.
rected in memory OF the Confederate
dead, Col. Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
lately delivered very eloquent ad-
dress, from which the following pas
sage is worthy of being preserved, not
only in memory of the Confederate
dead, but sin perpetudna n,e1aorian' OF the
dead Confederacy
The contest was most unequal one
the South fought at every disadvantage.
With q white population of less than
five millians and half; with an arms
bearing population of less than nine
hundred Thousands; Maryland, Missouri,
Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia di-
vided; without regular soldier or a

or navy yard; with but few guns, and
they of inferior quality, and not man.

any part of its ammunition could be
made; without money or organized
credit; cut off from all the world, in
whose market she was not allowed to
purchase even the medicines tor the
sick; isolated from all mankind. and
even thrust out from all sympathy; en-
compassed with vastly outnumbering
foes, whose armies, daily recruited
from.every nation under the sun, were
supplied with every appliance of war
fare and every possible comfort as well
as necessary; every harbor closed by
watching war vessels, and every stream

diers hungry, ragged and barefooted,
she yet fought with such tremendous
power, and was welded with such skill,
that the expenditure of money to con-
quer was more than would have pur-
chased every foot of her land, every
house in her city and villages, every
slave on her plantations, and ali her
property Of every kind; and the killed
anp permanently disable of her enemies
amounted to more than her entire ar

CELLARS.

Above all things, says the Ohio Farm
er, don't neglect to give your cellars
good cleaning out. Remove all decay
ing vegetables ,aDd everything that pro-
duces mould. Give them thorough
ventilation, and see. the diain is open,
and does the work for which it was
made.
Attention to this may save you and'
your family severe sickness during the
season; at least it will contribute to
your health to remove these sources of
disease, Headaches, rheumatism, neu--
ralgia and fevers can often be traced

HooF BOUND i'm HORSES.

To cure hoof bound, rasp the top of
the hoot very thin for an inch or NOR Q
all around the hoof, SO as TO bring a lit
tie blood. AS the hoof grows it will
give room for the fun play of the JOINT
in the middle of the hoof. Hoof bound
is caused by contraction and lack of
elasticity of the outer rim of the hoof.--
1t takes about a year for horses hoor
to become entirely new. Six months
will remedy the lameness caused by
hoof bound, if trea5ed as suggested

TO DESTROY BoRERs.

S.A. Ladd, in Journal of Hortic,dture,
destroys the apple borer when he is in
the tree too far TO be reached with the
point of knife or a wire, in this way:
Take piece of haIf-inch lead pipe, say
three feet long; bend one end TO nearly
right angles, and fit the same to the
borer's hole, the main nlength OF the pipe
standing perpendicular; place funnel
in the top and fill the pipe with boiling.
water; the borer will soon be dead,
while the tenderest tree will not be in
jured by the process.

THE NEGRO WELLS CANDIDATE CLAIMS

The Norfolk Vigiaid,,, 10th, says: "a
few days since, Dr. Harris, the negro
candidate for Lieutenant Governor, ac-
companied by his sister, having provid-
ed themselvesw with second-class tickets,
attempted to make the trip to this city
They were politely requested by Cap

We now learn that Harris intends t.

TOMATO FIGS

Collect lot of ripe tomatoes. about
one inch in diameter; skin and stew
them IN the usual manner, when done
lay them on dishes,. flatten them slight
ly, and spread over them light layer
of pulverized white or best brown su-

place them in a drying house; when as
dry as fresh figs, pack in old fig or small
boxes, with sugar between each layer.

HOW BEDS SHOULD STAND.

A physician writes to the Dublin
Journal of Medicine in support of the
old notion that people sleep much bet
ter with their heads to the north. He
has tried the experiment in the case of
sick persons with marked effect, and
insists that there are known to exist
great electric currents, always crossing
in one direction around the earth, and
tina. our nervous systems are in some
my ysterious way connected with this
electrical agent. Let the beds all head
towards the north pole.

NERvINE and Invieorator, medicine have used
in my family for some time past My little daughter
had been suffering from severe whooping cough for
several weeks, and was so much broken OF rest at
night thatby excessive coughing and loss of sleep
her constitution and general health seemed to be
giving away. Various remedies or paIliatiyes were
recommended by intimate Deighbors, but nothing
was tried until our attention called by physi-
clan not now in practice to Dodd's Nervie. This we
procured and commenced using at once-with an eff
feet immediate and surprising As the conyulslons
were hardest at night, we began by giving the Ner-
vine on her going to bed. The first dose administer
ed made its impression; the cough became less fre-
quent and very much less severe, she soon got her
accustomed sleep, rapidly revived in health and
vigor, and in few days was as well as ever. What
was left of the whooping cough thereafter of no

SERIOUS TRoUBLEs.-An American sauant
has discovered that there is danger to be ap-
pretended from digging the Isthmus Canal
He thinks the Gulf Stream, which is now de-
hected toward Europe by the coast, will act
unhandsomely and irrationally, flow through
the gap in the Isthmus and leave Northern
Europe to freeze. Since the demise OF the
man who spoke disrespectfully OF the North
Pole there has been nothing SO culpable as
this expression of distrust with respect to the
Gulf Stream, which has never in any way
misbehaved itself and has entitled itself to
the confidence and gratitude of mankind
But II the man of science is right and the
Gulf Stream has fell purpose to oppose itself
10 the spirit of the age and to the improve
ment of the worlds commercial facilities, yet
the danger is not very imminent. The power
having jurisdiction on the Isthmus has not
yet fully assented to the American project,
nor has our Senate yet ratified Mr. Cushing's
treaty.
There is another case of great Importance in
reference to the building of canal. "Three-
fourths water and one-fourth land,'' we learn
ed in our biographies. One would think that
with this liberal provision for supply of
liquid surface there need be no contention
about it. But the proposition to connect the
Lakes with the Mississippi by digging canal
between Lake Michigan and Illinois river,
with Chicago for the lake terminus, excites
great apprehension. 1t is said that such a
canal would divert an immense volume of
water from its natural channels and make
