Duty of a Woman to be Lady.

Wiidness is athing which girls cannot afford.
DtEcacy is a thing which cannot be lost and
found. No art can restore to the grape It's
bloom. Familiarity without love. without
confidence without regard is destructive to all
that makes woman exaltiug and enuobiine.
"The world is gide these things are small
They may be nothing, but they ere ell"
Nothing 1t is the first duty Of woman 20
be a lady. Good breeding is good sense. Bad
manners in woman is immortality. Awkward
ness may be iueradicable Bashfulness is con-
s,itu,ionaI Ignorance Of etiquette is the result
Of circumstances.
All eau be coudoned, and do not Danish man
or woman from the amenities Of their kind
But sclf-possessed, unshriuking and aggressive

State prison offence aud certainly merits the
mild form Of restraint called imprisonment for
life. II is shame for women to be lcctured
on their manners. 1t is bitter shame that
they need it Women are the uInpiros Of So
ciety. It is they to whom all moOted points
should be referred To be lady is more than

iualienably worthy Of respect. Toa lady, prince

How TO Drive a Horse.

Young man, see you are about to take
drive this morning, and will offer you some
advice Your horse is restive aud wants to be
off before you are ready you may as well break
him Of this now as any other time, aud here
after you will find it has been a half-hour well
spent. Just give me the reins while you put
your foot ou the steps as if to get in the horse
makes a move to 60; tighten the reius aud
say whoa" Now put yoar FOO; on The step
again the horse makes another move; ! hold
the reius aud speak to him again. The horse
is getting excited. Pat him a htde on the
neck and talk to him sooihiusly. pu: your
foot on the step again, aud repeat this process
until tie horse will stand still for you TO get in
aud adjust yourself in your seat and tell him
to 20. 4 few such lessons viii train him SO
ilat he will always wait for your orders before
starting.
Now, as your horseh's just been fed, drive him
at a gentle pace for The first two or three miles,
until he warns up aud his BODY becomes light
er. But before you start let ne show you
how to hold the reins Take them in your
left baud, have them Of equal length from
the biz, aud cross each other ia your baud, the
Oh. side one resting on your first dnger, the
other ON the fourth finger, the back Of the hand
upward Now, in guiding the horse you have
only % use the wrist-jont. which will direct
him night or left, as you wish. Keep your
arm steady, with seulc pressure on TIE bit,
no Jerking OF switching Of the reins. If more
speed is wanted take the whip in y0ur right
hand to be gently used for that purpose; be
careful not to apply it any harder than is nee
cssary 20 bring him up to the required speed.
Speak 70 him sootb!ugly, and intimate IN the
most gentle manner what you want him to do,
and be will try to do it. So noble an auimal
should not be handled roughly nor oycr-drveu
When YOU return, have the harness removed
at once, aud the horse rubbed down with a
wisp Of straw or bay. Give bin a bite Of grass
Or hay, and let him cool OF before he is water
ed OF fed Every one who haudlesa hose or
Las anything to do with one, should cultivate
acquaintance; let him know that you are bis
friend and prove it to Lin by your kind
treatment. He needs thi. to inspire conf
deuce, aud when this is gained, he is your
humble servant
Ifyour horse gets frightened at any unusual
sight or noise, DO not whip him, for if YOU do
lie will connect tie whipping with tie object
that alarmed him, aud make him afraid Of it
ever after Ifhe i.eTely hies at The object
give BIN tine TO examine it which, with some
encouraging words from ,Le driver, will per
suade him to pass it. Yon get frightened, too,
sometimes aud would not like to be whipped

Live Like Lovers.

Married people should treat each other like
lovers all their lives. then they would be hap
py. Bickering aud quar.eling would soon
break of love aiiairs consequently lovers in
dulge in such only to very limited extent.
But some people-meu aud women both
when they have once got married think they
may do just as they please, aud It VIII make
10 difference. They make a great mistake
It causes all the difference in the world
Women should grow more devoted and men
more fond after marriage, il they have tue
slightest idea Of being happy as wives and hus-
bands. It is losing sight Of ibis fundamental
truth which leads to hundreds Of divorces.
Yet many a man viii scolI his wife who would
never think Of breathing harsh word to bis
sweetheart and many wife viii be srum and
morose on her husbands return who bad only
smiles and words of cheer for bin When be was
her suitor. How can such people expect to be
happy?

A curioug Madioal ExperIment.

A recent medical experiment, says MaS
Adeler. has excited considerable amount Of
interest in our village. Ny neisbboF Simp-
son was nearly dead with consumption, aud
DR.. Hopkins at last, in despair, concluded to
try the effect Of TRANSMISSION Of blood, OF which
he had heard so much lately As no human
being was willing to she'd lis blood FOR SimP-
son, the Doctor blcd Simpsons goat, and. open
ing o vein in Simpsons arm he injected about
two quarts Of blood into the patients system.
Simpson Immediately began to revive, but,
singular to relate, no sooner had bis strength
returned than he jumped out cf bed, and,
twitcbing his head about after the fashion OF
goat, he made savage attempt to butt the
doctor.
That medical gentleman, after having Simp-
sons head plunged into bis stomach three oT
four times took, refuge in closet; whereupon
Simpson banged his head against the panel Of
the door a couple Of times. and would proba-
bly, have broken it into spluiers had not his
mother-in-law entered at tha. moment aud di-
verted his attention. One well directed blow
from Simpsons head 1oored her, and then,
while she screamed for help, Simpson froleked
around over the floor making assidious efforts
to nibble the green flowers in the ingram car
pet. When they called the hired man in and
tied him down on the bed, an effort was made
TO interview him, but the only answer he
could give to such questions as to how he fal'
and when he wanted lis medicine was a b-a-a
precisely like that Of goat; aud then be
would strain himself 10 an effort to butt hole
in the head board.
The condition Of the patient was so alarm
