that most Of the Senators would wear better

cry man in ii should represent the finest type
Of American gentlemanhood-ih he should
act as gentleman, dress like gentleman, and
keep his hands out Of his pockets This is
what very few Of the Senators do. Most OF
them sit with their hands in their pockets,
walk with their hands in their pockets, talk
with their hands in their pockets.
To see dozen or two men thus posed at
once, and greater number carelessly or unbe.
corningly attircd, is sufficient to detract very
considerably from the appearance of the as

Fashionable Women.

Fashion kills more women than toll or

er transgression of the laws Of wonan's
nature, a greater injury to her physical
aud mental constitution, than the hard
ships of poverty and neglect. The slave
woman az her task will live and grow
old, and see two or three generations of
her mistresscs fade and pass away. The
washerw oman, with scarce a ray Of hope

fashionable sisters all extinct. The kitch-

lady has 10 be nursed ike sick baby.
1t is n sad truth, that fashion panpered
women are almost worthless for all the
gopd ends of life; they have but little
force of character, they have still less
power of moral will, and quite as little
physical energy. They live for no great
purpose in lite-they accomplish no great
ends. They are dolls, formed in the
hands Of the milliners and servants to be
dressed aid fed to order. 1t they rear
children, servants and nurses do all, save
conceive azd give them birth. What do
they amount to but weakly scions Of the
old stock? Read the biographies CT our
great and good men and women. No
one of them had fashionable mother.
They nearly all sprang from women who
had about as little to do with fashion as
with the changing of clouds.

Moral Suasion on a Ram.

was troubled by dog wolf. The cur

means to prevent it. 81 can break him

honest farmer; and we will let Agrcola

for stealing sheep, and which stood as
much in need of moral suasion Us the dog.

old fellow, and the consequence was that
the dog never looked sheep in the face

Boy SMoKERs.-If man should tell
us that healthy child could put his sys-
TEN under the influence OF powerful
narcotic every day, without permanent
injury, we should tell him that he did
not know much-about that. We never
saw SO many boys smoking along the
streets rs now. The practice will reduce
the final stature OF the boy who begins
at fourteen, at least half an inch. 1t vii
demolish his physical force in that pro-
portion, and his mental force still more.
The boy that smokes can bear trouble
better. He can lose his place iii store
with less grief. 1t worries him less to
get TO the foot of his class. Tobacco is a
leather jacket that shields his hide from
the lash of adversely. We doubt ifthere
is business man in Boston so green as
to take boy that smokes, when he could
as well have as good boy who does not
smoke. Tobacco is a source OF daily ex-
pense, a motive for theft till boy comes
to mans pay. 1t wastes his blood, for
though the parotid glands save the kid
neys some work, yet he who makes an
uretha of his mouth, must lose from his
blood much that is needed to aid diges
tion, whereas the kidneys do their own
work better, and, in health, rob the blood
OF nothing useful. Man is the most pre-
cious crop the Yankee raises, and just now
is scant in quantity. Let it not be infer
ior in stability also. Boston Ne,cs.

The dispatches from London, Saturday
morning, announced the death Of Anna Cora
Mowatt Richie, the authoress and actress
She was born IN France, but Of American par
ontage, and was the tenth of seventeen eni-
dren OF a New York merchant, named Ogosii'
Her early childhood was passed in Bordeaux
in the private theatre Of which she ireq ueli'iy
performed in the juvenile dramas with "liion

Her health, in time, becoming impaired she
visited Europe with a view to its recovery:
and while in Paris she wrote a play called
sGulzora or the Persian Slave" Not long
after her return financial difficulties overlook
her husband, and as a means of providing for
their support she gave series of public dra-

York and other cities. Afterwards she pro-
duced articles for the magazines under the

popularity. Again her husband failed, and
she turned her attention to dramatic writing

In june of the same year she made her public

starting a Poultry Yard.

A story of close management is
told about q Yankee who lately set
tied down in the West. He was the
picture Of mean man, but as heput
himself to work in good earnest to
get his house to rights, the neighbors
lent him a hand. After he had every
thing fixed to his notion, thought
struck him that he had no chickens,
and he was powerful fond Of sucking
raw eggs. He was too honest to steal
them, and to mean to buy them.
At last thought struck him-he
could borrow. He went to neigh
Dor and thus accosted him:
"Wal, 1 reckon you hain't got an
old hen nor nothin' you'd lend me
for week, have you neighbor"
Il will lend you one with pleas
ure," replied the gentleman, picking
out the finest in the coop.
The Yankee took the hen home,
and then went to another neighbor
and borrowed a dozen eggs. He
then set the hen, and IN Que course
of time she hatched out a dozen
chickens.
The Yankee was again puzzled.
He could return the hen, but how
could he return the eggs? Another
idea-Who ever saw live Yankee
without one? He would keep the
hen until she had laid a dozen eggs
This he did, and then returned
the hen and the eggs to their re-
spective owners, remarking as he
did so:
'Wal, 1 reckon I've got as fine a
dozen chickens as you ever laid eyes
on, and they didn't cost me cent
nuther."

A Cape MAY Incident-An Ambitious
Mamma Aftar an IMAGINARY Lord.

A Cape May Incident-An Ambitious
Mamma After an Imaginary Lord.
Not many days ago there was a
rather sloud'' woman down here,
says the Cape May Wave, rich and
vulgar, swooping around and put
ting on more airs than you could
grind out of q hand organ. One
man, who was disgusted at the aris-
toeratic pretensions Of the couple,
thought he would have a little fun
at their expense. So one day he
pointed out good looking fellow
who was passing the hotel, and men
toned to the woman in sort of
careless off hand way, that the good
looking fellow was lord, who had
Just arrived in the country, and was
stopping for while at Cape May.
This woman, you understand, wanted
an introduction, so that she could
set her daughter at work to rope in
this scion of a noble house. The
stranger was presented the next
evening in the parlor, and this de-
signing being of mamma began to
gush right over him. She kept on
exclaiming how much she had al
ways admired the English nobility,
and how much she longed to see
them in their own beautiful homes;
and then she asked this man if he
did not some times long for his is
land home, and hate the society Of the
vulgar Americans, and sigh for his
high born companionsl At last the
man turned around and said she
must have made mistake; he didn't
care a red cent for aristocracy; he
had no island home, for he came from
Germany; and he had no high-born
companions, unless some Of his
friends were born in a garret. So
this woman rose right up and
pranced out to the fellow who intro
duced her to the aristocrat, and she
said:
@See here! I thought you said that
man was lord?"
$50 he is" was the reply; she is
the land-lord of the Dutch hotel
round the corner there. Nice man,
isn't he?"
Perhaps that woman won't souse
that man under, and hold him there,
the next time she catches him bath
ing in the surf. Itwouldn't surprise
US to learn at any time that he'd been
iammed full Of red-hoJ hair pins by
a savage female, who crowned her
work by executing a Kieapoo war
dance on the inanimate remains.

Lowner,s Dog.

A correspondent Of the New York
EUeaing Nal, giving an account OF
a trip from this city to st. Louis,
says ofa station on the way.
Here 1 saw a Lowner, and was in
troduced to Lowner's dog. Lowner
was a little, shock-halred, pug -nosed,
dark-complexioned, little-eyed hoo
sier, and his dog was a fit cOmpan-
ion for him. A more disreputable,
mangy-looking cur 1 don't think 1
ever saw. Lowner turned to me as
soon as l had comfortably located
myself and remarked:
II say, Mister, that's a sleepy
looking purp, amt ity'
/ acQuiesced at once.
well, now, Mister, there 'ere's
the spryest purp in this ere State" "
OF course I was properly astonish-
ed, and asked what he could do.
swell, stranger that's Lowner's S
dog" said he, "and he's spry, you
jest bet. Look a-here." He caught
a ty, put 1t on the dogs nose, let 90
the fly, and before the insect could
escape the quadruped had devoured
it. 1 expressed approval.
"Oh, he's SCUM on flies, yo7 lest
bet" said Lowner. Cry it yourself
mister" and he handed me a fiv.
To oblige LoWner, put the fly on
Lowner's dogs nose, but Lowners
doa was spry, for, before I could re-
move my fingers, the dog was mas
ticating them. However, finding
they were fingers and not flies, he
treated them mildly. LOwner laugh
ed vigorously, and remarked

- and Kaeping Butter.


Mary A. Lee, Cain, Pa, writes
aRntter made in October or NoYem-
her II good, may be kept so by prin
ting in small table prints, and sprink-
ling each with salt, and LAYING loose
Iy in a stone jar. / have known it
so kept till April, and all good when
eaten, the last as good as the first.
To keep butter good that is made in
the fall is one thing, but to keep that
good that is made in the early sum
mer is another thing. Our best and
richest butter is made in May, June
and July,when the COWS milk strong,
and before the flies trouble them too
much. The best of butter may ca
silly be kept good till April, too, and
here is the way l do it. First, it
must be good butter when made, all
the butter milk must be worked out,
and in doing this keep it out of wa
ter. don't have any water come in
contact with it, it spoils it; butter
that is washed in working, as it is
termed if good, would be much bet
ter if it had not been washed. Salt
to suit the taste of those who are to
eat it, half an ounce of salt to q
pound of butter is about right, keep
out all your saltpetre, sugar, or 9th
er curative ingedients, it viii keep
better without them, and perhaps
too without salt, but would not be so
palatable. Do up the butter each
week, or churning in one or more
neat round rolls or two three pounds
each, just what you have to put
down, cover each roll with a clean
muslin cloth large enough to go
round it twice or more, so that it
will be completely enveloped, and
sink it in a strong brine, as strong
as the best salt will make it. Stone
vessels are the best, and each roll as
it is put in may be sunk by placing
a clean stone on it. Continue to add
more rolls until the vessel is full, al
ways keeping the whole completely
covered with brine; and to insure
strength, add more salt when full.
Keep it in your cellar or in your
spring house, and see ifit is not worth
in winter or spring one hundred per
cent more than any winter-made
butter. In this way / have kept all
our winter supply of butter for many
years, and have never yet failed.
But mark, the butter must be good,
well made, by one who understands
how; must be well worked and
should, by all means, be wrapped up
and sunk under the brine the same
day it is churned not kept lying
about for two or three days after
churning. We here think good
spring with the water at ffty-six de-
grees indispensable to make the best
No. butter in the summer months,
and then it must be chumed slow
that it may come solid. Bradley's
atmospheric dasher attachment is
superb, making our old barrel churns
complete atmospheric churns, with
half the revolutions, breaking the
butter just as soon; then, in warm
weather it is solid, firm, and no
trouble to wash out the mill" ."-Ru-
rat Net1 Yorker.
