TWO BRAVE WOMEN

From the far East and sfs tar
West Of our country come accounts
Of two danntlcss women, which are
worth recording. The FIRST tells
of Mrs. Nathaniel Moody Of Au-
burn, Maine. That lady started
from Lewiston, on the 18th Of
March, in a binding snow storm.
Her conveyance was q punge-a
sort of sleigh, drawn by one horse
and she held her two.year- old
baby in her arms
Crossing Taylor Pond IN the
dark, she found she had lost her
way, and had been far more than
an hour driving in a circle. She
met the emergency with a bold
and skillful vancouver. She un-
harnessed the hofSe, and turned
him loose, tipped up the punge so
that it sheltered her from the wind,
and, wrapping herself and child id
the sleigh robes, hid down In the
snow. The drift against the pungs
rather improved its protecting pow
ers. The horse found his way
home by morning, and suggested
the story of the night. Prompt aid
thus summoned rescued the moth
er and child, who had suffered no
serious harm. The worst night of
the winter failed to chill the heart
of one of those brave New England
matrons whose sons grow up as
erect and hardy as their own pine
trees amid their Northern SHOWS.
The second account is of Swed.
ish woman who has pre- empted a
homestead and built a house in the
wilderness of Minnesota, two hun
dred miles above St. Paul. A few
weeks ago she came down with an
OK team with her mother, whom
she found sick. After waiting some
DAYS for her mothers recovery, it
became necessary to return to look
after her household. So she
started back with her goods in her
sled and a COW tied along side, ap-
parently unappalled by the tedious
winter journey of two hundred
miles.

WEAR A SuLE.-Which will you
do, smile and make Others happy,
or be Grabbed and make everybody
around you miserable? You can
live among flowers and singing
birds, or in the mire surrounded by
fogs and frogs, The amount OF
happiness you can produce is in
calculable, if you will show a smil-
ing face, kind heart, and speak
pleasant words. On the other hand,
by your looks, cross words, and a
fretful disposition, you can make
scores and hundreds wretched al
most beyond endurance, Which
will you doP Wear a pleasant
countenance, let joy beam in your
eye and love glow on your fore
head. There is no joy so great as
that which springs from kind act
or a pleasant deed, and you may
feel it at night when you rest, and
in the morning when ynn rise, and
through the day when about your
daily business.

SCANDAL was the saying of
an old acquaintance of ours, when
his attention was called to anything
that had a smacking of scandal in
it: II have so much to do that l
cannot hear it. One half my time
is taken up in my own business,
the other half with letting alone
that Of my neighbors." How ma
ny excellent opportunities Of let
ting alone other peoples business
are sighted! And the world is
troubled with the interference Of
people with what does not concern
them. Neighborhoods are daiFen
crazy by the reports of idle or mis-
chievous people who watch for oc-
casion of scandal, and lose no op-
portunitv of making it public, re-
gardless of truth, or of the injury it
inficts upon the feelings Of others.
Gossip passes for fact, and sur
mise for history; and the nimble
lie runs many league while truth
is putting on its boots.

HOG CHoLERA.-This disease, Or
something that goes under that
name, is still committing lis raya-
ges to a greater or less extent in
various parts of our county. 1t
recently made its appearance among
the pigs of Mr.. Thos. Fetters, whose
farm is short distance from this
city. Having lost quite a number
of pigs from six to eight years old
in very short period, Mr.. Fetters
proceeded to make investigation
by dissecting the carcasses OF halt
dozen or more. He found, in
the livers of all, and in the stom-
achs and nostrils of a portion, a
very peculiar looking worm, the
presence of which would seem suf-
licient to cause hog cholera or
something equally bad. He bro't
one of these livers to this office on
Saturday, and We had all the op-
portunity we wanted of examining
it. Outwardly it presented no un-
healthy appearance to be remarked,
but on being cut into, its sub
stance was found to be perforated
by worms from 3 to 5 inches in
length, of a white color, sharp
pointed at both ends, and seeming
ly composed of a series of short
Joints. These worms also occu-
pied some of the larger blood-ves-
sells of the liver. The liver in
question disclosed some FIVE or six
of these worms on being cut in
two or three places, rendering it
probable that it contained probably
three times as many of them as
were seen,
Whether such inhabitants are an
invariable accompaniment OF hog
cholera cases, we have never heard,
but the subject is certainly worthy
of scientific and searching investi-
gation.-Ldncaster { o. Gazette.

A woma1s Opinion of Wells. "

"Howard Glyndon," in an ar.
ticle on "veils," in the New York
Evening Mail, writes as follows.
1t almost stiles me as / turn a
corner to come upon a woman with
her face done up hermetically In
three or four enclosures of blue,
green, brown or black Donna Ma
ria gauze or spotted lace. Heav-
ems aud earth All this on balmy
April morning, when the air is i'm
pregnated with life, and the earth
is SO pleasant to look uponl And
here she is, going about with her
head bundled up as if the thermOm-
eter were at zero, and all beeautse
she is afraid to let the wind Of
heaven kiss too freely the complex.
ion which she values more than
health or comfort; or else, per-
baps she thinks she is too pretty
to be subjected to the common
gaze. Now, such a custom as
this might do for Oriental Constan-
tinople, but in free, civilized, re-
fined, enlightened New YORK, it is
not just the thing.
A beautiful woman is one of na-
ture's triumphs, and in the name of
defrauded masculinity I protest
against her enveloping the light of
her countenance in one of those
odious wells when she goes abroad.
A pretty woman should expect to
be looked at when she goes out,
and if she had modesty and COM
mon sense she will pass the ordeal
calmly and gracefully. She will
not regard the admiring glance
which lights up some impulsive
masculine eye, as moral insult
She would remember that God has
implanted a love of the beautiful in
every human breast, and she should
be able to discriminate between
the look of license and the impulse
that does homage to the perfec-
ton of the Creator as shadowed
forth in the beauty of his works.
And thus when a beautiful wo-
man walks abroad she needs no
shield save the innate purity of a
modest soul. The world will new
er mistake it for boldness or the
forwardness of self -conceit.

Colonization Schemes.

In the last number Of the Circle
vile Union we find the following
letter from that live Republican
G. w. Gregg, Esq;
CmcLEvIILE, o., May 16, 1870.
B. F. Romaine, Esq, Sec'y Ohio
Colonization Society, Columbus,
Ohio.
DEAR Sin Il have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt of your ia
vor of the 9th ult., advising me
that l "havc been selected by the
Legislative members Of this Con
gressional District, to represent
the District, in the Board of Di-
rectors of the Ohio Colonization
Society, and as such was duly elect
ed" You further state, that the
specific duties are not burden
some, &c.
beg leave to say that / cannot
see that any practical results can
be accomplished by any scheme
calculated to colonize any portion
of the free citizens of America in
Africa. Believing, as | do, that
this is the home Of tue oppressed
of every land, and that here they
can enjoy the full benefits of citi,
zenship and of civil and religious
liberty; and further, that this coun-
try is we'll adapted to encourage la
Dor and provide the means Of sup
port for all who may seek our
shores, and that our different relig-
ious societies can here, better than
anywhere else, teach the doctrines
of Christ, and lead Heathen into
Light
We, as agricultural people, need
all our labor, and it is well attest
ed that we are short of labor. If
any practical plan can be found for
the further introduction of the sons
of Africa into this country, I am in
favor Of it. Judging from the past
we can readily believe that they
will make good citizens, and as la
borers on the farm, l can testify
from experience that they are as
trusty and competent as the aver
age of white laberers. Not claim
ING to be an abolitionist, and with
full share of the common prejudices
against the negro, (although Re
publican from, the organization of
the party) l now rejoice Il hope
with the majority Of our citizens),
that suffrage has hocn extended to
the negro, and believe that 1t will
be the means of elevating the race.
l am willing at all times 10 assist
in elevating the oppressed, but ]
must he convinced of the practibil-
ity Of the plan. l am opposed to
colonization as I understand it in
your circular, and beg leave to de-
cline the honor you have sought to
confer upon me,
| am, with respect, yours truly,

A Country Choir.

The singing of country choir
is thus described in volume call.
ed "Homespuu, or, Five and Twe1-
ty Years Ago"
Gas look at such matters;1oth-
ing sweeter or purer or more de-
licious to a simple soul, can be
conceived than the unaffected sing
ing of country choir. There is
so little scientific fuss and profes-
sienal palaver about it. And the
melodies come out so full and clear
"a creation each by itself, rising
and falling in its cadences Ike the
steady swell Of the sea! / know
few things, for myself, more true
and hearty, There stands the cho-
raj row, male and female, heads
erect and mouths open wide, let
ting out souls and voices together;
the fiddle squeaking with excite
ment to get the lead, and the hard
working chorister, with quick eye
thrown to one side and the Other.
actually singing down the whSl ;
AS to the melody itself-so simple
and direct, so plaintive, so stir
ring, Glling the house as with a
food from floor to ceiling, and
drifting out through the opened
doors and windows into the echo
ing street-it is enough to move
the most worldly heart that ever
tried to mint itself into money
One hardly thinks he catches such
seraphic strains again, though he
goes all the way from New En-
gland to Rome"

OUR MoRTALITY,-Addison has
the following reflections: "When
l look upon the tombs of the great,
every emotion Of envy dies in me !;
when read the cpitaphs of the
beautiful, every inordinate desire
goes out; when l meet with the
grief of parents upon a tombstone,
my heart melts with compassion !;
when l see the tomb of the parents
themselves, | consider the vanity
of grieving for those whom we
must quickly follow; when / see
kings lying by those who deposed
them, when | consider rival wits
placed side by side, or the holy
men that divided the world with
their contests and disputes, l re-
fleet with sorrow and astonishment
on the little competition, factions
and debatee of mankind. When !
read the several dates of the tombs
of some that died yesterday, and
some six hundred years ago, con-
slider that great day, when we shall
all of us be contemporaries, and
make our appearance together"
