Women are no more eXtravagant than
men. Women are naturally less eX-
travagaut than menI Let woman know
on what scale she must manage her
household, and she will manage it on
that scale, and with far more ease and
elegance than man would secure. In
dressing herself and children in home,
comfort and luxury, the ordinary woman
Will make thousand dollars do n great
zeal more than the ordinary man.
90 not believe the woman of sound
mind can he found who would know
ingiy exceed her husbands income, or
who would not share and further all his
reasonable wishes to lay up reserves for
the future. The woman who buys lace
shawls which she cannot afford does il
because she thinks she can afford il.
She has no intelligent acquaintance
with her own circumstances. Her hus-
band is the pOssessor ofan indefinite in
come. His grumbling amounts to moth
ing. He always gFumbles when there
is a large bill to pay; but he alway:
paws, and she knows no reason to hin

trouble she apprehends from this pur-
chase is a little more Of that of which
she has already had good deal.-Gdt

CHAPTER Kill

THE HAPPY BRIDAL OF CLARENCE AND SONORA
Catherine had slept in the little
church-yard attached to the church q
little less thar a month. The chill
winds of March had departed, leaving
April TO shed her warm tears over the
earth as she fitted away to give place
10 charming May.
A day Of unclouded splendor ushered
in Sonora's bridal morn. The warm
sun seemed to shine more brilliantly as
it gazed on the face Of mother earth,
whose bosom was scarcely famed by a
passing breeze, so calm was everything
"A fit day indeed for a bridal.
Directly after the funeral Of Catherine
the family had gone to New York,
where the wedding was to take place.
Rissey and her husband for she was
now Mrs. Bradkins) considered them
selves of no little Importance on this
eventful occasion, particularly as they
were to accompany the bride to her new
home in the South.
Kizzy, between smiles for the happi-
ness Of her young mistress and tears for
the loss of her child, was so busily en-
gagged in overseeing the elegant dinner
which was being prepared, that she
needed not Samp, who sat in one cor
ner Of the kitchen weeping, more for
the loss of his young mistress than Ris-
sey, whom he said ''neber was half so
good nor 'bligin'."
The gay pedestrians as they passed to
and fro in front of Colonel Hewitts
splendid mansion could not refrain from
casting many a look at the richly
draped windows, where now and then
might be caught sight Of a happy face,
as it peeped forth in anticipation Of
some new arrival.
Blanche, who was now in reality re-
joiced at her friends happiness, was with
her in her richly furnished dressing
room, helping to prepare her for the
bridal. Mrs. Hewitt, with Adele and
COrdelia, We're giving the last finishing
touches to few articles, preparatory to
closing the well-packed trunks. Rissy
who considered herself next in import
ance to the bride, was flourishing about
doing sundry little nothings, Will,
every once in q while, as she passed th'
elegant cheval, she would cast a glance
Of self-satisfaction as she surveyed her
self in her new robe, a present from he
young mistress.
Harry and Clarence, who had alwayi
been as brothers, and who were soon t
become so legally, were awaiting in tht
room Of the former with all patience tn,
time when their presence would bi
needed below stairs.
"Clarence, my boy, YOU are n happ,

EIGHTY-SEvEN YEARS UNDER WoM-
ANS RULE.-We lately visited an aged
clergyman, who has been for some years
withdrawn from the duty of a rural
charge, and now lives i'm town with a
married grandniece. Talking of his un-
usually protracted life-for he is between
eighty and ninety-he said very good
humoredly, "During all this long time
/ have never been out of the hands of
women. First / was under the care of
my mother, who guided me as she
thought proper for fifteen years. Then
went to college, where / lived for some
years in the charge of an aunt. Imme-
diately after concluding my studies L
got q call, and took up housekeeping in
the parsonage with one of my sisters. /
was in her hands for three years, and
then married. My wife had the man.
agement of me for ten years, when she
died, and my sister came back again.
After a second experience of the sisterly
sway / married again, and was under
charge of the second Mrs. - for fifteen
years more. At her death q niece came
to take care of me, but she had not
reigned long, when she got husband OF
her own to govern, and left me. After
that was handed over from one neice
to another, till / left the parsonage an
old gray-headed man, as you see me,
and came here to be under the rule OF
this lady-pointing to the above-men-
toned grandniece-so that, from the
first day of my life till now, may say
that have never been, for any space OF
time worth speaking Of, exempt from
woman's rule. They have done what
they liked with me at all times during
eighty-seven years, and will do so to the
end of the chapter"

A TURKISH BRIDE.-The marriage
of young princess is always subject
Of interest, according to the London
Echo, but the approaching nuptials of
the eldest daughter of His Highness
Mustapha Pasha with Khaill Pasha has,
in addition to the feeling such events
inspire, the halo and romance which
life in a harem throws over their fair
inmates. Four splendid carriages have
been sent from Paris to complete the
number of the brides equipages. Thirty
gorgeous robes are being made by FASH
iOnable mOdistes. The wedding veil of
Brussels lace, has cost $4,000. Besides
the jewels presented by the bridegroom,
the Princess will wear on the day of her
marriage 4 tiara and necklace of dia-
monds presented by her father These
royal gifts have been purchased for
SlOO,O0O; so that the young lady will be
right royalty appareled, and it is a sat
isfaction to think that these yaluables
are her own; she cannot be deprived of
them by her husband, or by any other
person, the Turkish law being careful to
secure a wife's property to herself. Two
of her private apartments have been
furnished by Partisan uphOlsterer, at q
cost of $4,000, not including clocks,
vases, lamps, and other works of art and
ornament.

4 LADY A CITY PHYsICIAN.-From
the New York Tribune of January 18th
we copy this:
The City Physician of Springfield,
Massachusetts,, is a woman-elected by
way of an experiment. She is said to
have been exceedingly successful, not
having made even one medical blunder
since she began her work. One reason
for this sl& gives when she says that she
was livery careful about making mis-
takes, because she knew that any error
would be more severely visited upon hel
than it would be upon a man, She has
been an economical official, for she la:
attended 100 more patients than any o
her predecessors i'm the same number O.
weeks, and for 500 less expense to tn,
city. She often acts as nurse as well a.
doctor, aud her practice among the pool
has been in every way excellent.

lFor the New Northwest !
Dead.

An unbclieving brother calls
Upon thy name, sweet sister mine,
And on his ear the answer falls,
aTo God and Christ Thy heart resign.-
Il is the same old answer yet
a thousand times in life she gave;
And now her sun or life has set,
hear the answer from the grave.
Beyond that grave cannot look,
This side that grave Is all see;
read from out the sacred Book,
scSo knowledge or devicer for me.
Not yet can man assert hls right
To Immortality. The slave
OF luxurious appetite
Must feel the shacklcs Of the grave.
Our race, Imperfect yet in form,
Cannot retain the life God gives.
Our barque goes down beneath the storm
or lust, and naught the greel. survives.
Above, beneath, around, within.
Gods Spirit lays creation bare:
No bar 10 knowledge, except sin,
The sin that mars a world 50 fair.
What hinders, that we do moi rise
To hail the New Creations birth?
With Charter writ on starry skies,
Claim Immortality for Earth?
A perfect heaven for perfect man,
Inhaling his immortal breath!
His days OF ever-lengthening spani
Imperfect now, and doomed 10 death.
That perfect life man will attain,
And Nature lie beneath his feet;
His field Of labor, her vast plain,
Where toll and pleasure joyous meet.
Cause and effect are equal in
The Perfect State; the balance just;
An equipoise attained, and sin
To chaos hurled, and crime and lust.
Against the power Of passion thou
Did'st strive divinely, sister mine,
And perfect rest rewards thee now;
Unconscious rest, for aye, is thine.
Unconscious rest is thine, for aye!
Thy brothers walk earth's surface yet,
Beneath Gods bending, beauteous sky,
Nor fear the hour their sun shall set.

WE SHALL MEET AGAIN.-The fol-
lowing is said to be one of the most bril-
liant articles ever written by the la
mented Geo. ID. Prentice:
The fiat of nature is ineXOrable.
There is no appeal for relief from the
the great law which dooms us to dust.
We flourish and fade as the leaves of
the forest, and the flowers that bloom
and witherin day have no Trailer HON e
upon life than the mightiest monarch
that ever shook the earth with his foot
steps on the shore. Men seldom think
of the great event of death until the
shadow falls across their own pathway,
hiding from their eyes the faces of loved
ones, whose living smile was the sun
light of their existence. Death is the
antagonist of life, and the cold thought
of the tomb is the skeleton OF feasts.
We do not want to 90 through the dark
valley, although its dark passage may
lead to paradise; we do not want to lie
down in damp graves, even with princes
as bedfellOws. In the beautiful drama
of "IOnen the hope of Immortality ut
tered by the death-devoted Greek, finds
deep response in every thoughtful soul.
When about to yield his existence as a
sacrifice to fate his Clamantha asked if
they should meet again, to which he re-
piled: 81 have asked that dreadful
question Of the hills that look eternal
of the clear streams that flow forever
of the stars among whose fields of azure
my raised spirit has walked in glory.
All are dumb; but as l gaze upon thy
living face, feel that there is some
thing that mantles through its beauty
that cannot wholly perish. We shall
meet again, Clamanthan

A MOTHERS LovE.-The following
beautiful tribute 10 "Mother's LsYe"
is from the chronological Journal:
A thing immortal. Time cannot
change ii. Death cannot queneh il.
Eternity cannot waste or destroy it.
From the cradle to the grave it COM
passes US about, growing stronger when
temptation besets us, becoming hOlier
when adversity-tries us, and more god
like to save when the blackness of despair
gathers its horrors around us. Forsak-
ing US not, though deserted by all others,
1t clings to us with spell which no
charm can dissolve; with q strength
which no power can sever.
In the morning, at monday, and at
eventide, it is ours; and though the dear
heart whose every throb was actuated
by il is hushed in that bosom forever;
though the once soulful eyes glow not
with it now, and the mute lips breathe
il no more; yea, though the coffin, the
shroud, the cold clOds OF the valley, and
the long grasses of many a year hide
from our tear-bedimmed eyes the sweet
form that was ever transfigured into
angelic radiance by its presence, vet
from the shores of the receding past, this
mOther-love drifts over to us with ali
the vividness of the days when she was
with US, and it comes back to US from
the beautiful beyond, its infinite tender
ness still yearning over Us, and bringing
us hope as we struggle in the close con-
tests of life. ....r
yutsOing not ont forever, and settling not,
IT'S a guiding star by whose far-reaching
light we may pilot our frail barks from
billOw on to billow across the stormy
sea of Time, and anchor at last at the
fadeless shore of 4 country whose man
sions are home indeed, hallowed and
made pure by the prayerful vigils born
Of a mothers love.

THE FIRST MEERscHAUM P1PE.-In 1928
there lived in Pesth, the capital Of Hungary,
Karol Kowates, shoemaker, whose ingenuity
in cutting and carving on wood, etc., brought
him in contact with Count Andrassy, ancestor
to the present prime minister of Austria, with
whom he became favorite. The count on
his return from mission to Turkey brought
with him large piece Of whitish clay, which
had been presented to him as a curiosity, on
account Of its extraordinary light specific
gravity. 1t struck the shoemaker that being
porous it must naturally be we'll adapted for
pipes, as it would absorb the nicotine. The
experiment was tried, and Karol cut pipe
for the count and one for himself. But in the
pursuit of his trade he could not keep his
hands clean, and many piece of wax became
attached to the pipe. The clay, however, in
stead of assuming dirty appearance, as was
naturally to be expected, when Karol wiped
it off received wherever the wax had touched
clear brown polish, instead Of the dull white
it previously had. Attributing this change
in the tint to the proper source, he waxed the
whole surface, and polishing the pipe, again
smoked it, and noticed how admirably and
beautifully it colored; also, how much more
sweet the pipe smoked after being waxed.
Karol had struck the smoking philosophers
stone and other noblemen, hearing the won.
derful properties of this singular species OF
clay, imported it in considerable quantities
for the manufacture of pipes. The natural
scarcity of this much esteemed article, and
the great cost of transportation in those days,
of limited facilities for transportation, render
ed its use exclusively confined to the richest
European noblemen until 1880, when it be-
came more general article Of trade. The
first meerschaum pipe made by Karol Kowates
has been preserved in the museum at Pesth.

ag~ The estimated value of all farming lands
in the United States in 1870 is little more
than $9,00O,000,OOO against 100000
in 1861. The increase in some of the north
ern States is most extraordinary. Indiana
has nearly doubled in valuation Illinois
and Michigan have nearly doubled theirs;
while Iowa, most remarkable of all, has
grown up from 81 100000 in 1860, to almost
100000 in 1870. The Southern States
are slowly going backward. This decline will
doubtless continue for many years. In the
British West Indies, values have steadily de-
elined from the date of emancipation.

it owed its origin to demoniacal agency, and
was permitted to appear for the sake ofstirring
up bitter enmity between Reuben and David.
1t was asserted that they had not only branded
each other with the disgraceful name of thief,
but that they had exchanged blows across
their fathers corpse. This latter charge was
entirely without foundation.
