Hints Oh Shopping.

1t is poor economy-or. rather, no econ
omy at ALTO purchase inferior fabrics
because they are cheap. Persons in limi-
ted circumstances often commit this err
ror. II II calico at ten cents q yard looks
about rs well as one at twelve or fifteen
cents. the prudent purchaser will often
think it economy to choose the low-priced
goods. AS it is low-priced, she may in
bias folds. tlattering herself that cheap Or
namentation is an equivalent for fine
quality. This mistake may be seen per-
meating the entire wardrobe Of many SEN
slhle people. The result is simply this
they never have anything Of really good
quality, are always shabby, and always
buying. None but rich people can afford
to buy poor goods. This rule applies to all
sorts of goods--muslins, cloths, carpets,
and table linen. We grudge the time we
see women spend in making mp mnslins
of low grade for undertaking. There
are so many stitches in shirt And when
it lasts one year insteed of two, as it
should, there is just twice as much work
done us need to be. Better make three
shirts of fine quality muslin than six of a
lower grade of muslin just so in fam
nels. A tifty-cent all wool Shaker fan
mel will wear two or three times as long
as your flimsy cotton and wool stuff few
pennies cheaper. Especially in a family

lterate: in Mississippi, Georgia and

BITTER AND SWEET.
BY 4. P. M'COMBS.

What is ife:-the stranGest compound,
All cOntraries nicely blent:
Each propelling and controlling,
Through the human finding vent.
Who says nature is a failure,
Or her works are incomplete?
Good and evil hath its uses;
Every bitter hath Il sweet.
Every spring must have a summer,
Summer will grow sere and bare;
Winter weaves, with frosty fingers,
Garments for the next to wear.
Change. decay are written widespread,
Man can find no still retreat;
BY this law he only iiveth:
Every bitter hath sweet.
Never would the eye of pity
Clean with sympathetic tear,
But for misery's broken pleading
Melting OH the human ear.
What would be our social structure,
How would man his brother meet,
If there were no need Of mercy
Nor bitter for q sweet?
If the world We're void of danger,
Man 10 tolls, or hopes, Or fears,
Needing not the help or counsel,
Or the flow Of friendly tears:
Surely il would be less lovely
For lhe tread Of human feet;
For it's sin, and pain, and sorrow,
Brings, through bitter, every sweet
Troubles al are blessings truly,
With The host OF ilpshy ills;
Richest valleys robod in beauty
Cottd not bloom without ne hills.
so through life, if we look rt4it!y
On The trials which we meet,
We will see their holy u>cs;
Bless the bitter for the sweet.
Gne Int proves the others being;
BACH must have its opposite:
By contrasts only are we measured,
Know Tie darkness from the light.
Rest is only for the weary,
Co,d is requisite as heat
Livery principle in nature,
Hath u bitter and sweet.

Every aspiration high,
Every grand essential feature,
Teaching man he cannot die,
Cometh through this glorious doctrine
All tf1Ngs everywhere repeat,
Making life quite worth the living,

A rural Kentucky paper, of the Bourbon
persuasion, in speaking of successful agri-
cultural fair lately held by the colored
people of the county, at which nearly
100000 was distributed in premiums,
naively adds: "Ihe whites felt too poor to
attempt a fair this year Whereupon the
Pittsburg Commercial observes that 1.-The
unconscious flavor of satire which inheres
in this remark is absolutely delicious. Here
is a people whom that paper and others of
its class have always despised and con-
demned as being of an inferior order, set
ting examples OF creative energy, enter
prise and thrift to the very persons who
have msl:gned and prosecuted them; while
these latter, notwithstanding the manifold
advantages, material and otherwise, which
they possess, are compelled to acknowledge
themselves outstripped in progress by those
whom they lately held out as chattels.
