A Good Woman.

a friend from Lakeville sends us
the following ideas of a good woman
A good woman never grows old
Years may go over her head, but if
benevolence and virtue dwell in her
heart, she is as cheerful as when the
spring oflife first opened to her views.
When We look upon q good woman we
never think of her age. She looks as
charming as when the rose of youth
first doomed upon her cheek. That
rose has not faded. 1t will
fade. In her neighborhood she is the
friend and benefactress in the church.
the devout worshipper and exemplary
christian. Who does not love and re
spect the woman who has passed her
days in acts of kindness and mercy,
who has been the friend of man and
God, whose whole life has been q
scene ofkindness and love, a devotion
of love and religion ? We reply, such
a woman cannot grow old. She will
always be fresh and buoyant in spirit
and active in humble deeds of benev.
olence and mercy. If a young lady
desires to retain the bloom of beauty
of youth, let her not yield to the
sway of fashion and folly. Let her
love truth and virtue, and to The close
of life she will retain those feelings
which o make life appear like a
garden of sweets, ever fresh as ever
new

President Grants sore-tailed colt,
which was the subject of 30 many
newspaper paragraphs a few weeks ago,
suddenly disappeared from public no
tice, and, as the President simulta-
neously discontinued his visits to
Washington for a long time, the pub
lie naturally came to the conclusion
that the invalid animal was either well
or dead. A late number OF the Capt.
tai explains the matter. According
to this authority, General Dent, find
ing the skill of the medical fraternity
in Washington inadequate to the emer-
-gency, determined to try the effect OF
c~undurango, and the experiment was
completely successful. Not only did
the colt speedily recover its usual
health and spirits, but the afflicted tail
shortly began to sprout in the most ex-
treordinary manner, and. has now de-
veloped into a fourishing cundurango
tree. If this remarkable cure can be
authenticated, it will afford a new tes-
timony to the virtue of cundurango,
as we'll as to the wisdom and useful
ness to the Administration Of General
Gent.

A rough looking specimen of HUI

street, New York, not long since,
when he came plumply upon a Jew, a
specimen of his own race, about whom
there could be no mistake. Without
a word OF warning the rough knocked
him sprawling into the gutter. Pick
ing himself up and taking his "claret"
faucet between his fingers and thumb,
he demanded IN explanation. "Shut

What'ssin a Name.

In an eastern town there is a woman
who is exceedingly deaf, and her
affection has caused an extremely un.
pleasantsmistake, of which her infant
child is the victim. She took the
babe to church the other day to have
him baptized. While she was waiting
in the vestibule, she thought she would
keep him quiet by feeding him
trom-a bottle of milk. While the
child was still taking his nourishment
the mother was summoned to the
church by the announcement that the
minister was ready In her agitation
she drew the bottle from her child's
mouth hurridly, when the gum nozzle
came off and a part of the milk was
spilled on the -child's new clothes
When the clergyman took the child in
his arms he looked down upon it and
asked the mother what name should
be given it. She, with her mind
troubled about the accident, thought
he was asking how the clothes became
soiled, so she answered
"Nozzle came off, I say"
Rather surprised. he asked again
for the name, and thinking he did not
understand her, bawled out:
"Nozzle came off, I say"
Whereupon the astonished divine
poured water on the child's head, say
Nozzle came off Ferguson, I bap-
tized thee" &C., &c.
What this woman wants to know is,
whether the legislature, or something,
have hat child's name changed
to Henry, or Lucullus or, William, or
some other euphonious a~ppellation.
