Domestic SCANDAL Under this cap
tion the Lynehburg Ncms furnishes US
the following, which may bit Just in the
mildcst possible manner somewhere in
this community, and in every other COM
munity. Read it,
There is one foible among housekcep-
ers that cannot be too severely reprobatcd.
1t is a contemplate itching for a knowl-
edge of their neighbours affairs This
curiosity leads some to encourage and
listen to the scanduious prattle Of their
own servants. concerning the domestic
affirs of other families in which they
have been employed.
Servants are always ready to take adj
vantage of the slightest advance towards
familiarity on the part Of the mistress.
and when they fnd ono weak enough to
relish recitation Of the vices and .follies
of others, the appetite will always be
lnlnisterod to, 50 long as a prolific brain
can coin Il falschood. Mistrcsses should
rccolloct that while encouraging thus
practice, that their own household affairs
will probably be served up, with no less
exaggcration or defect, whenever their do
mcstics pass into anothcr.family. And
where is the remedy for this evil? 1t
lies in the hands Of every head Of fam
ily This tattling tendency should be
stopped at the very commencement, and
it refusal to listen TO the scandalous
catalogue Of private weakness or error
were accompanied by severe reprimand,
society would be more benefited.

Written on Withered Flower.
By THOMAS J. MAMMALIAN.

The beauties of this dropping flower,
How soon they have been lost
BY the winds that blew Ger Howard bowe
Its splendor has been tost.
So, the rich in all their glory,
And the poor in all their gloom,
Shall withcr like this blooming flower,
And sink into the tomb.
The lover, bound by honor's chain
To innocence and youth;
The soldier, who would drain each vein
For liberty aud truth:
The heart of the muslng poet
The seaman Of the wave,
Shall wither, like this dropping flower,
And sink into the grave.
The coward, who is beaten from
The well-fought battle field
Who TO virtue, truth and liberty,
His knavsh heart hath steeld,
A traitor TO the rights of man,
To treachery slave,
He shall wilher like this dropping flower,
And sink into the grave.
The slanderer, who nirts about
Your character to steal,
Whose heart is throwing envy out
With every sickly thrill;
While the tempests of perdiiion
Round his sland ring soul shall rave,
His hateful form shall wither
Deep in liars grave.
And the dandy, who is bowling down
TO fashion silly rules,
With his mean soul pulled up with pride,
That masters fashions fools
Like the Upas in the valley,
Distiling deaths perfume,
In all his brilliant littleness,
Shall sink into the tomb
And the lady, with her bosom full
Of innocence and love-
A link between this earth of ours
And Paradise above;
Though she may shine in all the charms
OF youths enchanting bloom,
She will wither, like this dropping flower,
And sink into the tomb.
By Request.

Which is the Best.

Which is the best Sewing Machine, is
a point ON which different companies diff
fer each, of course, thinks its arm the
best. One may have advantages for one
kind Of work, and another for another.
But if the point were to be decided by
popularify, the Howe would outstrip all
others.
1t is noticeable fact that the Howe
Machine Company has tor hnndred
HousaHd of their machines in use, al
though having existed but SIC gears,
while the Company which claims to have
the most in use, has only about twice
that number, though having existed for
tnenty ycars They are now manufac-
turing over six hundred daily. or one per
minute, and at that rate can hardly sup
ply the demand.
In this section they have become well
known to our people through the efforts
of Mr.. j. Eagle, Agent, Rockville, who
guarantees to make each one Of his Gus
toners so thoroughly satisfied that they
will be convinced that the Hoice Is the
best.
