Women as They Were.

Young ladies of the time of Edward
W. says recent writer, "were brought
up with greater strictness than their de-
scendants under Victoria. Mammas in
those days kept their daughters greater
part of the day at hard work, exacted
almost slavish Difference from them, and
even, as an able antiquarian states. coun-
ted upon their earnings. After they lad
attained certain age it was the custom
for the young of both sexes to be sent to
the houses of powerful mobiles to finish
their education by learning manners and
thus noble lady was often surrounded
by bevy Of fair faces from the owners
of which she did not scruple to receive
payment for their living

carry them over the arm shoes long and

spent with the distati' or the spinning.

AT six o'clock supper is served, after
which, perhaps, follow games at cards or
dice, or, possibly, dance Ofthe latter
our young lady is extremely fond, and
has been known, cDce, or twice, when
agreeable company was in the house, to
commence dancing after dinner and to
continue until supper, when, after short
respite, she began again. She has grown
tired of the old carols, and now dotes up
on those merry jigs imported from France.
Later on, another meal is served, called
the rere supper or banquet, after which
she may drink glass of warmed ale or
cup of wine, if she be so inclined, and
then retire for the night. Another day,
in the proper season, she may go hawk
ing, or ride on horseback, or hunt the
stag. or shoot rabbits with bow aud ar
rows, or witness bear batting. Or some
other such refined amusement
Young ladies of this age are caution
ed by NJ. de Montaigion, who appears
to have been somewhat of poet and
social reformer, against being too quick
to fall in love, from talking scandal, from
drinking too much wine, and from chat
tering at table. They are enjoined to
practise habits of industry, to respect the
aged. to refrain from quarrels, and above
all, never to allow gentlemen to kiss
them in secret =

Our Savior never drove his overtired
faculties. When tired, "iIe sat by the
well" He used to go and rest in tho
house of Mary and Martha after the
fatigues of working in Jerusalem. He
tells us all to let the morrow take care of
itself, and merely to meet the evils of the
present day. Real foresight consists in
reserving our own forces. If we labor
with anxiety about the future we destroy
the strength which will en1ble Us to meet
the future.

And eften come tempests and rain.
Be fearless of storms which o'ertake you
Push forward through all Ike a man
Good fortune will mover fcrsake you,
If you do as near right as you can.A
Remember, the will to do rightly,

Live daily by conscience, that nightly
Your sleep may De peaceful and sound.
In contests of right never waver- -
Let honesty shape every plan,
And life will Of Paradise SAVIOR,

And strive with their skrewdcst of tact,
To injure your fame, never heed,
But justly and honestly act;
And ask of the Ruler of heaven
To save your fair name as man,
And all that you ask will be given.
If you,So as near right rs you can.

Railroad Accident.

some five miles east Of Owatonna.
Three passenger coaches were upset,
which contained some twenty or thirty
passengers. The locomotive and sx-
press car passed over the break in safety
and had the train been running at full
speed, it is probable that greater num-
Der Of persons would have been injured.

ever you draw her to your side? For
even if you have gra,e enough Gas

sencc, the odor which fingers in CLOTH
ing aud whiskers and hair betrays you
just as surely as if the weed itself we're
visible.
In the instance quoted above, why
those three exceptional cases? Is there
aught in the intricate mechanism Of
tiny wheels and springs which forms
the trade Of the one, in the sleeping
harmonies which awaken in trills and
ripples Of melody at the Grgcr-toueh Of
the second, or in the sowing and reap
ing Of the third, which forms for them
a barrier against temptation ? Does
there linger in these cmployments some
subtle influence which shields them
from such aliure,ncnts as beguilc other
young men, Or is it true, steadiast pria-
ciplc, the high, God-like manhood
which proudly asserts itself, refusing to
be bound by the iron chains Of habit,
and which darcs to every plea of the
tcmp.er, speak a tirm and decided, No =?

slight uneasiness soon manifested itself

trouble? Had the ride been too much
for their weak nerves Had the sup

a burglar in the house :? Or were they

mystcry vas soon solved. They must
