Wonian's SPHERE.

Her true and noblest sphere is that Of
wife and mother and mistress Of tho fam.
lily; and it should be her first care to
qualify herselfof the faithful discharge Of
the peculiar and almost countless duties
and responsibilities growing out of such
high and holy relations. But it is none
the less her privilege and her duty Ia
improve every talent committed to her
keeping; and for that purpose she
should devote whatsoever time she may
have at her disposal, wasting none of it in
those fashionable follies which dwarf SC
many intellects, wither so many hearts
destroy the peace Of so many families
and which so often blast body and repu-
tation and soul.
The woman to whom Providence Ia,
not committed the care Of family, the
training of immortal minds and souls in
the domestic circle, is surrounded perhaps
by greater dangers, and should the more
diligently cultivate hei gifts, applying
herself to some literary or scientific pur,
suit, or to some calling in which she can
do the greatest emount of good under the
guiding hand of God.-Home and School

An Editor who is Deaf.

We thought that everybody in the State
knew that We were deaf, but once in a
while we find one who is not aware of the
fact. A female book pedler came to the
Office the other day. She was alone in
this world, and had no one to whom she
could turn for sympathy or assistance /;
hence we SHOULD buy her book. She was
unmarried, and had no manly heart into
which she could pour her sufferiugs,
therefore we ought to invest in her book.
She had received liberal education, and
could talk French like native; we
could not pay her less thai 50 for book.
We had listened attentiyely, and here
broke in with: "What did you say?
We're deaf" She started in loud
voice, and went through with her riga>
marole. When she had finished, we went
and got roll of paper and made it in.
to speaking. trumpet, placed one end to
our ear and told her to proceed. She
commenced. Il am alone in the
world" ut doesn't make the slight,
est difference to US. We are a husband
and father. Bigamy is not allowed in
this State. We are not eligible to pro.
posals. "Oh, what fool the man is"
she said in low tone then at the top Of
her voico, 81 cont want to marry you, |

tence was howled.
I'VE don't want cook, we remarked
blandly; "our wife does the cooking,
and she wouldn't allow as goodlooking
woman as you to stay in the house five
minutes. She is very jealous" She
looked at us in despair. Gathering her
robes about her, giving us glance Of
contempt she exclaimed, Il do believe
that if a SEQ FOUNDER we're let off along>
side that deaf fools head he'd think some
body was knocking ut the door," You
should have heard her slam the door when
she went out. We heard that.-Santa

A Negro Girls Remarkable Mem.

There is negro girl in Brucetown, Ky.
about nine years Of age, whose memory is
truly marvellous. Her wonderful powers
were first brought to the notice Of white
man, who keeps grocery in that part Of
the city, about two weeks ago. He had
been reading aloud in her presence the
day before, and accidentally heard her
repeat, word for word, what be had read
from the paper, though twenty>four hours
had intervened. After this he.tested her
memory frequently, and has found her
capable Of repeating thirty 20 forty lines
from a book after hearing il read once
over. Her intellect in other respects
does not seem at all above, if iequal to,
the average. Such instances Of memory
are not very unusual. Mary Summer,
vile tells Of an idiot in Edinburgh who
never failed to repeat the sermon. word
for word, after attending the kirk each
Sunday. saying, "Here tie minister
cOughed;;' "Here be stopped to blow his
nose" She also tells Of another whom
she..met..iu the Highlands. who knew u I,

Henry Ward Beecher Brought to Taw.
The DeacOns are Bound to Have His
be Restored i'm Brooklyn.

Plymouth Church is in state of siege
under the assaults of other Congregational
bodies which propose to assert jurisdiction
over its government, discipline and morals.
1t is all about the celebrated Beecher-Tilden
scandal and the real aim is to Investigate
and expose the whole truth about the mat
ter, and if Beecher is really guilty, as
thousands in New York and Brooklyn be-
lieve him to be, to punish the offender as
they would any other man. There is a war
in the Congregational body over the great
pulpit orator and hypocrite of Brooklyn
which threatens serious results, not the least
of which will be the ruin of Henry Ward
Beecher.
1t is neither to be disguised nor de-
MED that the Congregational body is agi-
tated to the center with the convic-
ton that Mr.. Beecher is guilty Of tie
highest offences denounced by the Christian

We shall, in a short time, lay before our

has held the highest honors conferred in u
State, in which he discusses question
which is now growing more and more impor-
tant every day-the question of political
reorganization. He takes no party view,
but suggests, as the important points to con-
slider, these five-cheap transportation, edu-
cation at the South, harmony of the legisla-
tive and executive departments at Washing
ton, proper distinction of State and National
politics, and real civil service reform.

The Oldest Mason in Texas, or perhaps
anywhere else around the world, is Captain
Sylvanus Hatch, of Chocolate, near this
city, who was made Mason in the year
1909, in the State of Maine. He has his
documents still, showing him to be sixty-five
years member of the Masonic order. The
old gentleman, who is now little over 81
years of age, having reached that period of
life the 18th of March inst, is still in pos
session of all his faculties, and we had the
pleasure of giving him shake Of the hand
only few days since. He reads the news
papers and keeps up with the times; works
in his garden and enjoys himself as much as
most men much younger than himself Du-
ring the last elections he rode to town on
horseback distance of twelve miles-to
vote the Democratic ticket; thus asserting
his proud prerogative of free and indie
pendent citizen, whose rights had been so
long entrammelled by Radical rule, You,
citizens of the State of Maine, and New
England generally, stand rebuked!
