WoNEN,s WAYS.

Uepworth Dixon, in his New
America" sketches most charm
ing pair of young Americans, whom
he has met, coDquering home from
very scanty materials, amidst the
most discouraging difficulties. The
man is a squatter on a patch of for
est land, which he has redeemed
from loneliness. Yet all is comfort,
without a sign of poverty. He
says: "Walk up this garden-way,
through these neat little beds of
fruit trees, herbs, and flowers.
This path might lead to gentle
mans villa, for the load is wide
and swept, and neither sink nor cess
pool, as in Europe. ofends the eye.
Things appear to have fallen intO
their proper places. The shed, if
rough, is strong and snug, a rose.
Virginia creeper, climb
ing round the door. Inside, the
house is SO scruDulously clean that
you might eat your lunch as COM

could from the shining tiles OF a
Dutch floor. Something like an
air of gentle life is about you in

ion. You see at one glance that
there is bright and wholesome
woman in this house. Annie Smith
IS the type OF class of women
found in America--and in some
parts of EuglanI-but nowhere else
Station she is little above a peas
ant; in feeling she is little below
lady. She has thousand tasks to
perfOrm-tO light her fires, to wash
and dress her children, to scrub her
floor, to feed her pigs and fowls, to
milk her cows, to fetch the dinners,
to scour and polish her pals and
panns, to churn her butter and
press her cheese, to make and mend
the clothes but she laughs and
sings through these daily tolls
with such gay humOr, such per-
feet taste, such an easy compliance,
that her work seems like pleasure
and her care like p,stime. She is
neatly dressed, beyond, as an Eng
lishman might think, her station in
life, were it not that she wears her
clothes with perfect grace" 1t is
matt for rejoicing that the English
observer saw such women in Amer
ice. May we long have plenty of
them for him and the rest of the
world to see!

THE USE OF PAPER.

The following statistics of the pro-
duction and consumption of paper
are furnished by Vienna journal !:
1t appears that there are 5000 pas
per manufactures in the w0rld,
employing $4,000 men and 1000
women, besides the loo, 900 employ
ed iu the rag trade /; 1900, OOO, 900
pounds of paper are produced an
nually. One half is used in print
ing, a sixth in writing, and the re-
mainder for packing and other
purposes. The United States aver
ages Is pounds per head ; an Eng
lishman consumes III pounds a
German, 8 pounds a Frenchman.
Z pounds an Italian, 81 pounds !;
a Spaniard II pounds; and a Rus
sian only 1 pound annually, on an
average. This would Indicate that

HARVESTING WHEAT.

fore called into. requisitlon IN old
Monroe.
Every farmer who has common
ced reaping, with whom we have
conversed, is more than pleased
with the quality of his grain since
the harvest has admitted Of thor
Ough inspection, and We have never
known such general satisfaction to
exist among the farmers since the
war.
The few reapers and harveste rs
that we have in the county, are
kept busily employed, but as many
of the largest wheat fields were
sown without the ground having
been put in condition for machine
work, the scythe and cradle are
necessarily the main resort.
Sowing wheat was an after
thought with many who have large
crops in, and the cotton and corn
failure last season did not leave
them with money enough to buy
reapers, but they will arrange bet
ter next year.
This wheat crop is God-send to
the country, and together with the
oat crop will enable the cotton far
mers to bridge over all the usual
summer gaps, and in most instances
to realize double the usual amount
.Of profit from their cotton.
Hard has been their experience
during the last two years, we have
not doubt but the farmers OF this
region are to-day in better condi>
ton, and have a brighter prospect
before them than their co laborers
in any other part of the Union

Of the fact that the bitterness oil

Alta recent meeting of the citizens

no distinction would be made be-

with resolution the following invita-

FOREST FIRES.
Philadelphia Times.

Phllauelpn1a lines.
Forest fires of annual occurrence
in this country. A spark from the
pipe of a tramp may light a cOnf1a
grafton that will sweep over thous
ands of acres, and tens of thousands
of dollars worth of property. Hun
tcrs, not unfrequently, are careless
of their cooking arrangements, and
fires originate from that source
In these aud other ways the leave s
and brush aud dry wood of forests
are united and famed in wide bill,
lowy oceans of devOuring flames.
Autumn is commonly the season of
the year when forest fires are
chrouicled, when the woods are dry
and crisp, and take fire like finder.
But this year, in the green leaf OF
the early spring, the country has
been visited by the flaming torch of
forest CONGREGATIONS. In almost all
directions the sun has been shroud
ed by hills of smoke. On the lines
of the Worcester aud Nashua Rail-
road, in massachusetts, along the
Lake Superior and Michigan road in
the neighborhood of Port Jervis,
New York, in the pines OF New
Jersey, in more than one location
in the lar Northwest, and in the
interior of this State fires are rag
ing at the present time, or have left
their tracks in ruined homes, pros
trated fences and devastated forests
Along some of the railroads in
Pennsylvania the smoke is SO dense
and binding that objects cannot be
distinguished at a distance of one
hundred yards, and engineers have
to run slow and with the utmost
caution. At night the hill sides
are illuminated by tongues of fame
shooting aud darting in all direc-
sions. In the day a canopy of
smoke hangs over the valleys, and
gives the landscape a spectral and
unnatural appearance. All obsta>
cles of an infiammable nature have
been swept away from the path of
the fiery vIsitant. Houses, trees,
blossoms and fruit have been con-
sumel, and where once fertility
and verdure met the eyes is TO be
seen only desolatiOn. The earth
seems to have been smitten by the
sword of the avenging angel.

NAXIMs OF A MILLIONAIRE

John McDonOugh, the millionaire
of New Orleans, has engraved upon
his tomb series of maxims pre-
scribed as the rule for bis guidance
through life, to which his success
i'll life is mainly attributed. They
contain so much wisdom that we
copy them:
Remember always that labor is
one of the conditions of our exis-
tance. Time is gold; throw not
one minute away. but place each
one to account.
Do unto all men as yOu would be
done by.
Never put of-till morrow what
you can do to-day.
Never bid another do what you
can 7io yourself.
Never covet what is not your
own.
Never think any matter so tri1 ng
as not to deserve notice.
Never spend but to produce.
Let the greatest order regulate
the transactions of your life. Study
in your course of life, to do the
gre 'test amount of good.
Deprive yourself of nothing ne
cessary to your comfort, but live in
an honorable simplicity.
Pursue strictly the above rules,
and the divine blessing, and riches
will flow upon you to your hearts
content; but first of all, remember
the chief and great duty of your life
should be to tend, by all means in
your power, to the honor and glory
OF our divine Creator. Without
temperance there is no health
without virtue, no order; without
religion, no happiness and that the
aim of our being should be to live
wisely sOberly, and righteously.
