FEMALE HEROES.

Two noble women, young and beauti-
full, named Matte Stevenson and Lulu
Wilkinson, are lying i'll of the fever at
the Walthall Infrmary, Memphis, the
victims of their own disinterestedness
and philanthropy. The former, ma
tive of Illinois, was visiting some friends
in Bloomington when intelligence that
Memphis was in distress reached her.
Saying nothing of what she intended to
do, she Immediately set out for that city,
and, reaching it, offered her services to
the President of the Howard Association.
She was but nineteen or twenty years of
age, and inexperienced in such duties as
she would have to undertake should her
offer be accepted. At first the President
was inclined not to accept her services,
but she insisted and she was sent to the
Lenher house to await orders. That
night Scotchwoman, i'll of the fever,
was delivered of child, and there was
no nurse at hand. DIR. Blackburn sent
to the Lenher house for one, and Miss
Stevenson volunteered. She nursed the
poor patients tenderly until they died,
and then went to the aid of others, nurs-
ing an old man and woman in Main
street who had that very morning taken
four orphan children under their protec-
ton, two of whom were also now i'll
Afterwards she was sent to a house in
Sullivan street to take charge of five pa
tients. The severe labor she underwent
told upon her system, and she herself
was stricken down and taken to the in.
Urinary, where she now lies in a critical
condition. Miss Wilkinson, an orphan
of about the same age as Miss Steven.
son, also offered her services to the How
ards, was accepted, worked heroically
and now lies tenderly cared for under
the same roof as the other lady. She
is thought to be out of danger. Other
women have performed and are perform
ing similar duties and living up to the
highest of woman's rights, a glory anc
ornament of their sex. Memphis viii

THE GRACE OF GLADNESS.

One spring of gladness is wholesome,
noble work. No man is glad when
living to himself. Man is made for the
life of communion; the perfect form of
human life was the life which found its
blessedness in giving itself to mankind.
There is physical gladness in the glow
Of healthy body. That glow is the
fruit of energetic action. Thus, slug
CARDS. laggards, know nothing of the
physical joy of life. Work for God,
work for man, work that is twice blessed,
which blesseth him that gives and him
that takes, is the correspondent condition
of a vigorous, glowing health in the
spiritual sphere. The old monks were
glad because their lives were fruitful
| speak of their best days; they became
the LATEST and drearlest men in Christ
endom. But when the institution was
young, they had work on hand which
they believed the world would rejoice
in. They believed themselves the saw
lours of society; that by their tolls,
their tears, their prayers, they were
helping it, beyond the power of kings
and captains to help it; that their up
lifted hands kept heavens gates open;
that their constant service was heavens
ladder by which angels of God descended
upon the world. Let loose the wings
of your loving ministry stir your soul
to some work which shall scatter bless
ings. If you would taste joy, fresh and
pure from its fountain, do good, be ready
to communicate. 1t is this which makes
the soul instinct with vigor, aglow with
health and radiant with joy. Man is
a crippled, half-developed being, until
his unselfsh ministry is drawn forth.
When he has tasted the. joy of doing
good, he is like the lame after Peters
touch he goes out into great temple
of life, walking and leaping, and prais-
ing God. Try it. If life is sad, make
it glad by service, service that strains
your power, that higher power only
can make you strong enough to render
But here we touch the deep perennial
fountain of gladness-the joy of the
Holy Ghost The joy of a man who
believes that God is with him, is exub
Grant, irrepressible. The delight of do
ing the will of God, to those who hav
tasted it, masters all other JOY. an,
meat and my drink is to do the will O
him that sent me and to finish his work

A STATE RULED BY WOMAN.

Among the Holland possessions there
is remarkable little State which, in
its constitution and the original customs
of its inhabitants, surpasses the boidest
dreams Of American emancipation ladies.
Upon the island of Java, between the
cities of Bativa and Samarang. lies the
little kingdom of Bantam. Although
tributary to Holland, it is an independ-
ent State, politically without importanc e
yet happy, rich, and since time imme-
mortal governed and defended by women.
The sovereign is indeed a man, but all
the rest of the government belongs to
the fair sex. The king is entirely de-
pendent upon the State council, compos-
ed of three women. The highest au-
thorities, all State officers, court func-
tionaries, military commanders, and
soldiers, are, without exception, of the
female sex. The men are agriculturists
and merchants. The body guard of the
king is formed of the female ehte. These
Amazons ride in the masculine style
wearing sharp steed points instead O.
spurs. They carry a pointed lance
which they swing very gracefully, anc
also musket, which is discharged a
full gallop. The throne is inheritabl
by the eldest son, and in case the kins
dies without issue a hundred electe,
Amazons assemble, in order to choose
successor from among their own sons
The chosen one is then proclaimed law
full king. The capital city of this littl
State lies in one of the most picturesqu
parts of the island, IN fruitful plair
and is defended by two well kept fol
tresses.- Galarq.

THE ATTRACTIONS OF AGRI-
CULTURE.

The curious and Undesirable charm
which surrounds agriculture, even in
the minds of those who know but little
of its processes, and still less of its sci
entifc laws, is remarkable and interest
ing. This may undoubtedly be attrib-
uted to the fact that mans love of ma
ture is one of his foremost sentiments
next to his love of kindred and home
and also to the peculiar radiance Of all
the bright days which dawn upon
farmers life, and all the cheerful events
which surround his occupation. Mans
Pathway through the world is not always
pleasant and easy. Perhaps, as in ma
ture. the darkness of night and the shad-
ow of the cloud occupy by far the larger
portion of passing time, leaving for the
sunshine smaller share, so inhuman
life the weary and heavy hours abound.
But while even the sorrows prevail, the
memory Of the bright and joyous days
will remain, and they will cast their
cheering rays through all the darkness.
There is no such thing in all Gods
creation as unmitigated gloom. And
so around every condition and calling
in life, the bright days will gather, the
remembrance of which makes life dear
to all men-Where then does the sun
shine brightest ? where do the most
delightful associations cluster ?-where
do the sweetest memories throng? Not
where man with his artificial ways is
supreme but where he divides his pow
er with nature, and submits to her in
fuence one-half his life The morning
may dawn brightly on him who pursues
his way to his mill or his Office; but
with what surprising radiance 1t breaks
for him who in the early sunlight walks
a-feld, and who, even in the midst of
his toll, feels the sudden and perhaps
momentary sense of awe and inspiration,
and freedom, and joy, with which nature
fills the souls of all her sons, and from
which the dullest and most material can
not always escape. A respondent sun
rise over ones native hill-once seen
and realized, do you think it ever for
gotten Never But all down the long
and tiresome journey, even to the close,
will that ray of morning beauty stream,
and irradiate many an hour, which, but
for that God-given picture, might be in
supportable in its gloom. The associa
lions, too, of the field and the Preside
how they endear! And as the festal an6
anniversary days come around, where
on all the earth do they mean so much
as they do to him, who, gathering hi
generations about him, points to tn,
fruits of his copartnership with nature
and traverses those lands which wer,
his fathers and which he intends shall
be his sons. It is because the brig Oh
days of the farm are the brightest givel
to man, in all his occupations, that tn
charms of nature are always recognized
and its destinations are felt even by tn
weary farmer, who when worn with tot
for his land and animals, loves ther
still, and also by the poet who know
and feels what beauty and truth Go
has written on the face of earth and sky

LEMON PIE.-Take one lemon CRATE
the outside rind; squeeze the juice in
with the grated rind add one table
spoonful of four rub smooth in the
juice; now add the yolks of two eggs,
one cup of sugar, and one of water. Beat
the whites stiff sweeten with little
white sugar; spread on after the pie is
done, and set it back in the oven to
brown very little. This is for one
pie; rather expensive; but those who
can afford it will not mind the expense
after they have eaten such a piece once.
They can be made cheaper by using less
lemon juice and less sugar, and little
more water

PLAIN SPONGE CAKE.-Too eggs one
cup of powdered sugar; one cup of sift-

good baking powder for one teaspoonful
of cream tartar and half as much So
day. Always beat the whites and yolks
separately for sponge cake. Sponge
cake that is not "plain" might be called
egg-cake, it is such a perfect puff of
sweetening and favored egg-foam, with
only enough flour to give it body. Any
cake having the "sponge" characteristic
must be made of well-beaten eggs, how
ever few they may be- An acquaintance
thinks this sponge cake much improved
by stirring in quickly and thoroughly
at the last moment before it goes into
the oven half a small teacup of boiling
water. The rule given above makes
only one small sized loaf

BROWN LEGHoRNs.-This beautiful
variety is daily growing in favor and
popularity, and bids fair to excel the
white variety in estimation of amateur
breeders. Rather larger than the Whites,
they are also more hardy, and being
yellow-skinned, are more pleasing in
appearance to the epicurean taste of our
fanciers. As egg-producers, they are
unrivaled; pullets frequently begin to
lay at four and one-half months old, and
continuing without cessation until we'll
in the winter. Among New Hampshire
farmers they are quite popular, owing
to their strong constitution and their ex-
cellent health during the long. tedious
winter. 1t is only quite lately that
they have created any sensation at ou1
poultry shows, and only the past yeal
that the number shown have made the

TIGHT AND WARM BARNS.

A man whose experience extends over
thirty years in keeping stock, in refer
ence to tight and warm barns for cattle
says:
When l sold my COWS by auction some
farmers were afraid to buy, because D
as they said, "they had been kept so
high y they thought fed them meal
so much that it would not do to buy snch
COWS for poorer keep. Now the facts
are these; / had not fed a particle of
meal or roots; my barn was tight and
warm; l fed good hay and regularly;
kept my COWS in the barn most of the
time in cold weather; watered twice
day in the barn; kept them we'll bedded.
cleaned out the stable twice day, and
sometimes three times. I find farmers,
not few in this town, say that their
COWS won't drink but once day; I say
to such. guess you don't give them a
a chance: try tight barn, and one
that is warm. Farmers, when you be-
gin to pinch your cows. if not in drink,
you bring leanness upon your cows, if
not in your purses you might as we'll
pinch in feed as in drink, for either or
both will cause that leanness of which
farmers SO much complain in these days.
[ think that if farmers will try tight
barns, with good hay with water twice
day and clean stables, with good warm
bedding, that two-thirds of the feed US
ed in an open barn will keep the COWS
in much better condition. l know a
farmer who kept his COWS, some twelve
or sixteen, in the barn all winter, with
plenty of water in the stable, and he
told me that he did not feed two-thirds
as much hay as when they were turned
out to stand round and shiver in the
cold as was formerly done, and the COWS
were in much better condition than when
left out in the cold.

charges Against DR.. worcester.

An anonymous circular has been
issued designed to create in the
South a prejudice against Wcrces-
teTs dictionary and its author, by
the assertion that DR.. Worcester is
the author Of the slanderous work
entitled elements of History, An
cient and Modern" in which many
offensive utterances and statements
are made. DR.. Worcester died in
1865, and Samuel T. Worcester and
f. A. Worcester, his brothers, now
say that he ''never wrote or saw a
line Of the section Of the history in
question relating to the late civil
war, and from which the offensive
extracts have been taken" The
publishers of Worcester's dictiona-
ries were never the publishers of the
History, and the charge seems to
come insidiously from some inter-
ested rival.
