they begin to take it regularly at the CON-
meucement of the Spring and at the close
of Summer, as safeguard against malaria.
They show their wisdom thereby. The

YoUNG WIDows.-The sorrows OF

YoUNG WIDows.-The sorrows of
young widow are not ended when
she gets her husband under ground,
as will be seen by the following ex-
tract from letter written by lady
to the Home Journal:
Do you know, girls, what It is to
be a widow? It is to be ten times
more open to comment and criticism
than any demoiselle could possibly
be. 1t is to have men gaze as you
pass, first at you, then at your black
dress, and then at your widows cap,
until your sensitive nerves duiver
under the infection. 1t is to have
one ill-natured person say: 4 Won
der how long she will wait before
she marries again. and another an
swer: Until she gets good chance
[ suppose" 1t is now and then to
meet glauce of real sympathy, gen
orally from the poorest and hum
blest women that YOU meet, and feel
your eyes fill at the token 50 rare
that it is, alas, unlocked fer. It is
to have your dear fashionable friends
condole with you after the following
"Oh, we'll! it is a dreadful
loss; We know you'd feel it, poor
dear And in the next breath:
You will be sure to marry again,
and your widows cap is very becom-
ing to yOu.'
