Old Maids.

Fanny Fern writes about the old maid
OF the period. 1t is all a mistake in the
date, Fanny. There are no old maids
in the year of our Lord eighteen hun
dred and seventy. According to the re-
cent census, no married women were
found over twenty-six; none single over
twenty. The years have drifted glori-
ously up the river of time, and we have
found, where our foremothers have over
looked it, the fountain of perpetual
youth, the elixir of life. There are no
old women any more. There used to be
silver-haired grandmother sitting on
the cosy side of the hearthstone with a
smile on her face like a ray of glory
slanting out from the beautiful land.
We can almost hear the click of her
knitting-needles now as we think of the
days of our childhood. But the good
old grandmother is gone. In her place
Is young woman, whose sunken cheeks
have been renewed with the wonderful
touches Of art, the color of her face is
as fresh as maiden, the placid brow is
covered with youthful frizzes, the sill
very locks that call for our reverence are
concealed by luxuriant tresses of tow,
such as the old-fashioned grandmother
used to spin and weave. Old maids,
maiden aunts belonging to the neigh
borhood to be generally useful, are ex-
tinct. In their stead are vivacious,
sprightly, piquant girls, whose cosmo-
politan ease OF manner in any and every
circumstance would cause the old maid
OF the ancient time to look askance at
them and gather up her unruffled robes
in fear, The wheels of the chariot of
time are blocked, and perpetual youth
sits beside the old scythe-bearer. No
more old maids. The girls be blessed
forever

Rowland Hill was in the habit of TAX
ing nearly everything he saw or heard
into the pulpit, and using it in his ser
mons. When preaching on the govern
ment of the temper, he said:
:" l once took tea with an old lady,
who was very particular about her Chi
ma. The servant, unfortunately, broke
the best bread-and-butter plate but her
mistress took very little notice of the cir
cumstance at that time, only remark
ing:
".Never mind Mary, accidents cam
not be avoided"
"' My word, but l shall have it by and
by said the girl, when she got out of
the room.
"And so it turned out. The old lady's
temper was corked up for a season, but
it came out with terrible vengeance
when the company retired"

KEEP Our OF DEBT.-The honsas
Farmer, with its usual positiveness, urges
its readers to keep out of debt. 1t says
that in new country, where merchants
many times give unlimited credit to the
settlers, no matter whether their crops
are good or otherwise, they continue
their careless and somewhat reckless ex-
penditure, until confronted by store
bill that they know they cannot pay.
They grow dispirited, and sometimes
dissipated, and, losing heart, lose indus
try, and in not few cases lose their
farms; whereas, if they had been
obliged to adopt the "pay-as-you-go T"
principle, they W ould have succeeded.

COnfederated Germany.

King Frederick William has accepted
the title of Kaiser Deutschlands, or En-
peror of Germany. The late Constitu-
tion OF North Germany, now accepted
in substance by the South German
States for the new Confederated Ger
many" was drawn up in 1867, and
adopted by a popular parliament elected
by universal suffrage. By a census
taken in that year, the area and popu-
lation of the whole North German Con-
federation were as follows:

So that the revived German Empire
enters history with an area of 2O4,Sl6
square miles; and its population, which
was 3s,52l 300 in 1867, may now be
safely reckoned at forty millions. Its
area is thus more than four-f -fifths of that
of the State of Texas, and its popula-
tion a little greater than that of the
whole United States.

are those who simply fill up the ranks
on the stage for appearance sake, and
take occasional part in the dialogue.
They receive from $40 to $50 per week,
and can attend to other business during
the day. Scene-shifters are paid $40 per
week, and are required to be expert in
that business, as slight misunder-
standing would disarrange the ma
ohinery in very annoying manner.
Among the best paid officials are the
ticket clerks. These men are not at
taehes of the profession. On the other
hand, they are downtown brokers, or
bank clerks, and are first-rate judges of
currency. There is such an incessant
attempt to pass bad money (made by
those who are ignorant of the vigilance
maintained at these posts), that such
men are necessary. I well remember
Mr.. B., the receiving teller of the North
River Bank, who subsequently has be-
come cashier of another institution. /

The Deserted Homestead.

The garden gate, with rusty hinge.
Swings crcakirg in the idle wind:
Ard weeds choke up the grayeIed walks
That erst with Pinks and hox were lined ;
And thistles flourish everywhere,
And briars thrive where roses blew;
And opiaee peoples make the air
Seem drowsy where the lilies grew.
The porch, where loving hands had trained
The prIirie bush, whose blossoms red, 4.
Freighted the air with pleasant scents,
Is fallen, and the bush is dead;
Wide yawn the windows ard the doors,
The chimney totters on the roof,
And moss and ivy deity now
Weave over all a warp and wool
Untouched, the fruitful trees decay;
Uncared for dies the climbing vine
No hand to pluck the mellow fruit,
No hand to press the purple wine
And where the household inmates caIne
To quaff the water clear and cool.
Naught now remains of bDbhling springs
Save Shiny stones and brackish pools,
Here, undisturbed, the swallows come.
And robins, with their rudy breasts;
And here the droning wasp and bee
With cunning skill contrive their nests.
The spider trails its fragile web
Athwart the heavy oaken beams;
And constantly the death watch riy,ss
Within the wainscots dusty seams.
And those whose voices echoed here,
Whose feet had pressed the garden walk
Who shsll of their long absence till
Or who their wanderings can markf
Their voices may be hnshed for aye,
And feet that respite never knew
From weary walks in liie's long iay,
May have the gates OF Heaven passed
through.

they belong more especially 10 the
