PARDONABLE SOLICITUDE OF A MoTII-
ERA correspondent relates the follow
ing, told to him about the early home Of
Gov. Bigler, of Pennsylvania:
At the time visited the place the father
of the family Was dead, and none of the
children were at home except u daughter
who was married to a MI Mitchell, who
worked the farm. 1t was q cold raw day
when [ came, and the old lady WAS sitting
before a big fire reading a newspaper. She
was rather heavy, and there was some
thing motherly about her.
"Well, Mr.. Peddler," said she, ''haye
you heard the election ret1rns?"
[ told her | had heard nothing but the
returns from few neighboring townships
and counties; you know railroads and tele-
graphs were not so numerous then as now.
Il assure you, SIR said she, II feel a
little uneasy about our Bill and our John.
Bill is running for Governor of this State,
and John is running for Governor of Cali
fornia.''
| tell you the scene was worthy Of q
picture-the good old lady reading her
paper by the fire in her humble log cabin,
and her two sons running for Governors
of two of the richest States in tie Union:
and both were elected.

Poetry.
FROM DUSK TO DAWN.

TT was inst at the close of a summer day,
When the fair young moon In the East was up,
And falling, as falls the peace OF God,
The dew dropped balm in the wild flowers cup.
And oft such winds touched the weary brow
OF a woman who leaned on cottage gate,
And fingered to catch the loW sweet call.
OF a late bird singing home to his mate.
From within she heard the household talk.
As if each to other were true and dear,
And after her, down the lonesome street,
Followed the sound of mirthful cheer
They were blest, she knew in their homely peace
sad smile treinbled about her mouth
81 am glad she said, THAT for some poor souls
There be full wells though the rest have drought
She saw the children about the doors,
With fond young lips for mothers to kiss,
And from every home as she passed along,
She caught some cadence of household bliss.
Till she came, at last to her own low roof,
Where she and ghost dwelt face to face
The ghost of her days of youth and joy,
The sole, sad guest in that lonesome place,
They talked together of all the past,
She and the ghost in white moonlight
Till the pale guests face like an angels grew,
And old time glory had made it bright
When the new dawn rose, they both were gone
On the bed shape, like a womans lay
But she, with the ghost of the gay, 81 I'd past,
To some land OF shadows had wandered away.
A land where she found the lost again
Where youth was waiting, and love was sweet,
And all the joys she had buried once,
Sprang. up like blossoms beneath her feet.

AN EXAMPLE FOR OFFICIALs.-There
is no question that the last democratic
President, the much-abused James Buch-
anan, afforded fine example for all officials,
high and low, in this good republican
country Of ours, i'll one most important
respect. A contemporary, who knows, says
of him:
''He was scrupulously careful to take no
gifts. He drew nothing from the treasury
but his salary. His horses and carriages
We're not furnished by private benefactors,
or procured at the expense of the govern
ment, but were paid for out of his own
pocket. He would not even accept a pass
upon a rail- oabs and if a hote[keeper had
offered to give him gratuitous entertain
ment he would have thought himself in
suited. He Went once, and only once,
upon brief pleasure excursion upon a pub
lie vessel, the Harriet Lane, when she was
sent ON her trial tIip; but the expenses of
his party were ascertained and carefully
paid by him.

AN EYE FIGHT ON THE CARs.-A cler-
gyman writes: Did you ever have an eye

sistently, catching your eye every time
you looked toward him? Did you ever
get annoyed and fix your eyes on him, and
struggle and wrestle with him, and finally
throw him? have many time. was

young lady who was in my charge. A
man sitting near fixed his wicked, greedy
eyes on her, and she was greatly annoyed.

His eyes both needed what no minister,
what no good Christian could give them,
and if any wicked man had come into that
car and had gwen him a pair Of black eyes,
should have thanked the Lord,

SCANDAL.-All those unfOrtunates who
have fallen under the lash Of an unruly
tongue desire to make scandal a punishable
offense, and declare that in this particular,
at least, the world has degenerited, as, in
old tunes, the scandal-monger paid dearly
for sins committed. In Germany dame
who let her tongue Wag too freely about
her neighbors, used to be compelled to
stand upon block in the market-p place,
with heavy stone dangling from her neck,
shaped either like a bottle, a loaf. an oval
dish, or representing a woman putting out
enough to buy permission to exchange the
hateful stone for a bag of hops, tied around
with a red ribbon. Two centuries ago, an
English woman ventilrine to take liberties
with the good name Of 'Mrs. Mayoress, :"
had to walk through the streets Of the
town, preceded by q man tinkling small
bell, an old broom upon her shoulders, from
which dangled a wooden mortar. Stafford
shire scolds did not get off So easily. They

from giving any one a bit OF their mind by
the pranks, or scolds' bride, an ingenious
arrangement of metal hoops contrived to
clasp the head and neck firmly, while the
paddock behind remained locked, and a
spiked plate pressed upon the tongue, so as
effectually to preclude its owner making
any use of it. The FRANKS, however, WAS
not peculiar to Staffvrdshire +; it was in use
in Scotland centuries ago.

A most remarkable fact connected with

DR.. Leyburn once before, but it Was four
teen years ago, and then only a short time
at the breakfast table. The interview with
the great London preacher was very cor

nestly in regard to America and Americans.
AS DR.. Leyburn was taking his departure,
Mr.. Sturgeon gave him, as a souvenir OF
his visit, one of his manuscript sermons.
DR.. Leyburn has had considerable eXpe-
rience us traveller, having visited every
country in Eastern and Western Europe,
except Norway, Spain and Portugal. One
thing remarkable about Russia is that i'll

high or refined civiiZ ttiOn and barbarism

THE VANITY OF OUR G1RLs.--I do not

The VANITY OF OUR GIRLS.--l Go not
believe women are by nature more prone
to those paltry feelings Of vanity or jeal-
ousy than men. It is the fault OF their
education rather than of their nature.
Beauty, like birth and talent, SHOULD be
considered as an accidental circumstance
"A possession which should not be mis-
used, lest it bring upon its posseSsor the
dispieasure of God. 1t is assuredly deSl-
rable possession, for it gives a grace and
charm to all one says or does; but it should
be considered as something to be thankful
for, and not as investing its owner with
any special right to be vain and conceited-
If it were only out of compassion, those
who have the education OF young girls
should labor without ceasing to guard
them from the baneful effects OF vanity,
which, pampered in their infancy, makes
them pulled up with preposterous ideas OF
their own Importance in the circle Ill
which they move, and also makes them IN
capable of sympathizing with their fellow
creatures, although they are fully per-
suaded that they possess full claim to re-
ceive sympathy from everybody they know.
Thus they become exacting, sensitive, mis-
cradle, and cannot find contehtment or
happiness in anything. Mortified vanity
brings misery in its train, and will ever
prove fruitful source of unllappiness and
error. So let us guard against these little
foxes which devour the fair fruit upon our
vines, and teach our girls not to be puffed
with vanity, but to live in htrm my and
peace with all their friends, without con-
sidering how much higher, brighter and
ftirer are their prospects than those OF
their com ami ms. Country Gentleman.

Mrs. Jones, Pudding.

They lived in Wisconsin, and the farmer
was Well-to-do. All the household were
| economical, not thinking of meat every
day, or anything like as often. The
daughters were named Reliance and Pru-
dence; the sons Amos and James. Reli-
ance was soon to be married to David
| Thomas, at the next farm.
| "We'll have hasty pudding for dinner
to-day, mother, said Farmer Jones to his
wife one morning at breakfast.
Every well, Evan,'' replied Mrs. Jones,
| for his will was law
| So when it was time she began to make
( the pudding. Her husband and sons were
out at their work in the spring sunshine;
her daughters were UP stairs making the
beds.
II mustn't forget the salt this time, .
said Mrs. Jones to herself. There was a
| fine fuss from all of 7em last time.n
For Mrs. Jones, good housewife though
she was, was apt to forget to put salt into
! her hasty pudding, or to put in enough OF
it. She put in plenty t,4is time, for they
We're all fond of salt. Then she went up
/ to the linen room, and began Laying away
the winter clothing in camphor.
It was only a few moments before Re-
lance came into the kitchen, when, seeing
the pudding cooking, and knowing that
her mother was apt to forget to salt il, she
put in handful of salt and stirred it well,
so that her father would not have reason
to find fault.
Soon after Patience passed through the
kitchen On her way to the barn. MA is
sure to forget the salt" said she, adding d
good handful.
Before long Amos entered to get jug
of water, and soon after James came in.
Each of them put in q handful more OF
salt, as they had no more faith in their
mothers remembering it than Reliance
and Prudence had.
Just before dinner Farmer Jones re-
turned from the fields, and saw the pud-
ding cooking.
"Tllat pudding smells uncommon good,
but [ IL bet Il ftp mothers forgot to salt it,
as she always does. ] used to depend on
Reliance, till she got her head chock full
of that young man o'hern; no idea of her
thinkin' ont now. AS to Prudence-well,
she don't NEEDLE much with the cooking,
nohow, so III just put i'll the salt myself"
and taking off the lid he threw in a large
handful and half, stirring the pudding
around briskly
Twelve O'Clock came, and they sat down
to dinner. Mrs. Jones helped her husband
to a good bowlful, for he loved it we'll, and
had, besides, a sharp appetite. just
spoonful he took and leaped up.
"Who on earth sailed this ERE .pud-
ding? 1t"
Farmer Jones stopped. He suddenly re-
membered that he had sailed it himself.
Just then there was a great noise in the
stable.
II should think that lumberin colts a
trying to kick in the barn door, said he
rushing out The next to try the pudding
was Amos. No sooner had he got it in
his mouth than he leaped up, too, AID
each one, James, Reliance and Prudence
started in like manner, leaving Mrs. Jones
in amazement. For each one silently took
credit for the hard sailing.
''Iawk-a-mercy,' cried Mrs. Jones, swal-
lowing her first mouthful. ''This comes
of my having put in all that ere salt.
What could I have been thinking? But

KEEPING UP FERTILITY IN MEAD
Ows.-A correspondent of the New Hamp-

friend, who is noted for large crops of hay,
pursues the following method i'll keeping
up the fertility Of his meadows: HE breaks
up his sward land in spring and sows it in
oats. These are ploWed in when fully
grown, and the next spring the ground is
seeded down without replowing, the only
grass seed sown being timothy. He gets
from two to three tons of hay per an
mum from an acre, cutting only once"

ENGLISH CUSTOMS AND HABITS IN VIR-
GINIA.-A writer in the Atlantic Month
ly.' in series of articles entitled 1.-The
Summers Journey of Naturalist" and
in the third of that series embracing the
country From the Potomac to the James, -
makes a comparison of English with Viz
ginia life, in which he says:
II fancy that, apart from slavery, we
are nearer t tone of country life in Eng
land in the eighteenth century in Virginia
than we can get now in the mother coun-
Try. The desolation Of estates, which was
repaired in England by the quick COM
munication and the overwhelming lnfu-
ences Of the capital, remains here with all
its peculiar consequences on the people.
Fox-hunting not the degraded form of
the sport which is found i'll Pennsylvania
and to the northward where the fox is Shot
on sight, but the riding to hounds-still
has firm hold in Virginia. 1t is an in
teresting question why all these ways have
lived here while they have died farther to
the north The love of Lind among the
Massachusetts, people has died out almost
lbs completely as among the Jews; all the
ways of life have turned into new cnan-
nels; but here, Notwithstanding slavery,
the old England has remained almost I'M
changed.h
