A Tale ef "a SHIRT,

In Merced there dwells a married man,
whose wife is stylish and thoughtful wo-
man, ever on the alert to fix up her dar-
ling chubby 50 that he will outshinc
everybody else's darling chubby" Some
time since she conceived the idea Of con.
structing for her liegs lord an outfit Of
opened back shirts. How she discovered
that there were such articlss-opcning

matters of speculation. Certain it IS that

Johns pleasant surprise. His surprise
was complete, and reached is maximum
when he attempted to put tie thing on.
He had dim notion that he must stand
on his head or stick his feet through first
but his wife knew better. Her woman's
tact taught her that this wasn't the way
so she helped him put it on over his mead
Then be couldn't get his arms in tie

bis arms through first, thcn he couldn't get
it on over bis head. Finally a brilliant
idea seized them both, after half houart's

How to Choose ia Good Cow

The crumply horn is good indication |;
full eve another. Her head should bo
small and short. Avoid the Roman nose |;
this indicates thin milk, and but little of
it. See that she is dished in the face
sunk between the eyes. Notice that sha
is what stock men call a good handler
skin soft and loose, like the skin on the
dog. Deep from the loin to the udder,
and very slim tail. A COW witb tBSss
marks never fails to be d good mixer.

A Remarkable Case.

We are informed on good authority Of
an extraordinary case that occurred in
Rish Valley, in this county. \ few days
ago, gentleman lost COW which was
heavy with calf, and the next-some six
teen hours after her death--a calf was
taken from her and is now alive, and is
apparently as active as any other This
is certainly departure from the laws Of
nature, but VIC presume that none Of our
readers who can believe the recital publish
ed in tO-days paper of tEs trf4fn5ifeer of a
dead mans brain to living subject will
doubt that living calf could be taken
from dead COW. Anyway, the stsry
comes to US vouehed for by a practicing
pbysician.--Ma1on Herald.

Clean Hands.

The world moves. It is not so respects
able as it was. few years ago to be a
rascal. People are learning the lesson
that clean hands are desirabls, both for
personal comfort Ind pleasant social inter-
course. They really seem to be learning
that purity pays, and that personal honor
and incOrruptiblencss are a good invest
ment. Rogues and rings are having q
tough time Of it, and it is their own fault
# the young and ambitious men who are
now coming upon the stage of action do
not learn to place so high a price upon
themselves that neither wealth nor power
can buy them. The rascalities of New
York Ring are all exposed, and the mem.
bers of that Ring have either run away,
or are staggering before public opinion
and the law, dsgraced and degraded men.
Bribery in Congress stands exposed and
rebuked, while names thss we're pure
have rec eived tarnish that can never be
polished away. Men who have held their
heads high in the nation, bow those heads
in shame over hands which are soiled be-
yond cleansing. We call no names, but.
scattered up and down the land, great re-
putations lie in runs. Men who had
wealth which they stole, and men who had
positions which bought, and men who
used their public Office to push their
private schemes, are thrown high and Cry
out of influence, and lie all exposed upon
the rocks of disgrace, where they are sure
to rot or 60 to pieces.
If the young politicians of the country
will learn the lesson that the facts which
we have recounted are so we'll calculated
to teach. better times for the country lie
in the future. pctsonal advantage is a
mean motive to appeal to, where so vital
aquestion as personal purity is concerned,
but, as there is mo danger to morals from
any other appeal, it is well to meet temp.
tation on its own ground and fight it with
its own weapons. The lsssoh If the recent
exposures is really needed by none but
those who fancy that they can compass
thei. ends best by bass means; and if
these shall learn from it that, in the long
run, nothing pays so well in wealth and
power and safety and comfort as virtue,
they will learn that which will be Of in.
calculable benefit to them and to the
country. No money was ever xch BY
treachery to trust that did not harm the
winner. No power ever achieved by bri.
berry or retained by falsehood that did not
scorch the palm of him who held it. The
consciousness of ill.desert, the loss of self,
respect, the fear of exposure and the self.
commitment to life, of deception, which
60 alWayswith possessions unworthily won,
are poison in the blood, and the exposure,
sooner or later. is. as sure to come as

H0use Training.

formed, writes, furnishes the fol,
lowing: Training girls for household du-
ties ought to be considered as necessary
as instruction in writing and arithmetic,
and quite as Universal. Ve are in our
house more than half our existence, and
it is the household surroundings which az
feet more largely the happiness or misery
of domestic life. If the wife knows how
to keep house" if she understands how
to set table, if she has learned how
things ought to be cooked, how beds
should be made, how carpets should be
swept, how furniture should be busted
how the clothes should be repaired and
turned and altered, and renovated is she
knows how a purchase can y. made to the
best advantage, and understand the lying
in of provisions, how to make them 60
farthest AMI last longest; if she apprs-
ciates tho importance Of system, order,
,idiness, and the quiet Infringement of
children and servants, then she knows how
to make little heaven of home, how to
keep her husband from the clubhouse,
and the gaming-table, and the wine cup.
Such a family will be trained to social
respcctabillty, to business success, and to
efficiency and usefulness in whatever po.
sition may be allotted to them:
II is safe to say that not one girl in ven
in our largo towns and cities enters into
married life who has learned to bake
loaf Of bread, or purchas, roast, a paint
ing, to sweep carpet. or to cut and fit
and make her own dress. How much the
perfect knowledge of these things bears
upon the thrift, the cotifo'rt and health of
families may be conjectured, but not cal
culated by figures. 1t would not be Of
immeasurable advantage tn make be-
ginning by attaching a kitchen to every
girls school in the nation, and have les.
sons given daily in the preparation Of all
the ordinary articles of food and drink for
the table, and how to purchase them in
market to the best advantage, with the re.
suit of large saving Of money, an in,
crease of comfort and higher health in
every family in the land.
1--WE think chat boys should be trained
for household duties. Not perhaps in
precisely the same, or to the same extent
as girls, but sufficiently to make them ad-
visers Ehd helpers Of their wives. No
man who never undertook to prepare three
comfortable meals day, or to do family
washing, or to sweep and dust house, or
to mend and make clothing, has any ade-
quate conception Of the care and labor
these household matters involve. There
fore, husbands are too often careless in
providing help. exacting in their demands
upon their wives, and, worst Of all, under
estimate the value of her service. If
boys we're trained to housework sufficient
ly to appreciate its value, no man would
ever say that be supported his wife, IL
they had ever helped to tend the baby
husbands would seldom neglect the moth
er Of their children"

POETRY.
APath through the Corn.


Wayy and bright in the summer air
Like a quiet sea when the wind blows fair,
And its toughest breath has scarcely curled
The green hig way to an unknown world
Soft whispers passing from shore to shore
Like heart content yet desiring more;
Who feels forlorn,
Wandering thus on path through the corn9
A short space since, and the dead leaves Law
C0rrupting under the hedgerow gray:
No hum of insect or voice of hird
Ger the desoate field was ever heard.
Only at eve the pallid snow
Biushed rose red in the red sun glow:
TILL one bleet MORN
Shot up into life the young green corn.
Small and feeble slender and pale,
II oent It's head to the winter gale,
Hearkened the wren's soft note of cheer,
Sea cely believing spring was near;
saw the chestnuts bud out, and campions, blow,
And DAISIES mimic the vanished snow,
Where 1t was born,
On either side Of the path through the corn,
The corn-the corn-the beautiful corn,
Rising. wonderfully morn by morn,
First, scarce as high as a fairy's wand,
Then, just in reach child,s wee hand,
Then growing grOwng-tall, green and strong,
With the voice of the harvest in its song,
While in fond sc0rn
The lark out-carols the murmuring corn.
Oh, strange sweet path, formed day by day.
How, when and wherefore-tongue cannot saw
No more than OF life's strange paths We know
Whittier they lead us, or why we go;
Or whether our eyes shall even see
The wheat in the ear, or the fruit on the tree.
Yet who is forlorn?
Heaven that watered the burrows will ripeu the corn
