PAST AND PREsENT.-There is something very
mournful, though, in meeting with old friends
after the lapse of years. Life has drifted you
so Tar apart, you have so little now in common,
on who once made but one existence in q
Ianner, and to whom everything that befel the
ne was the natural property OF the other !
Vow, interests, history, affections, associations,
hopes, are all different. Children have come
whom you do not know; and husbands and
wives strange to you, and therefore doubtful,
have moulded and Influenced the nature which
once was in entire harmony with your own,
like the concluding notes of a chord or the
shadow thrown by the substance. You feel
exiled, isolated. You know the old voice, the
dear old trick of the hand, the face, the man
ner of speech but all this is only the husk-
tho core is no longer the same as before, and it
has gone from you. There is nothing so diff
cult to take up again the lasped threads of
an old friendship, nothing so hard "a to recon-
cile the memories of the past with the changed
conditions of the present. Almost is it better
to let those memories lie undisturbed in the
golden halo that surrounds them than have
them SO rudely displaced so cruelty destroyed.
And yet how eager we all are to meet our old
friends again We do not see the changes
which time has made in ourselves and we ig-
more them as an expectation in our friends
Only when we are brought face to face with
them do we realize where we also must stand,
and how heavy the hand which use had made
apparently so light. But the stran 5est thing
of all is the maintenance of the identity, no
matter how immense the change; and how the
former sylph is really and truly the present
burly matron, the humble borrower of halt
crowns. Cresus scattering sovereigns broad
cast, and the ardent lover of the early days,
the husband of strange woman, and the faith
er of a numerous family. This, however, be
gins a subject too deep and wide for such SUI
perficial little essay as this, disquistion on
the Ego not coming in quite harmoniousy with
what is meant to raise laugh with the many,
if also for few it has somewhat deeper
meaning.-The Golden Age.

Mrs. ELIZABETH CADY STANToN-SoME In
TaREsTING FACTS IN HER CAREER.-Mr5. M. H..
Wills, in the Norristown Herald, gives some in
tere5ting facts concerning the career of Mrs.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton:
Mrs. Stanton is q woman fifty-eight years of
age, daughter of Judge Daniel Cady, of Johns
town, N. Y, a man who was much respected IN
his district, for learning and judgment. As a
girl she spent much time in her fathers office
and even before she fully understood the talk
of older people, heard the piteous tales of wo
men who came there to make complaint in re-
gard to the uni ustice of the laws which de-
prved them of the control of what was their
own property, for Johnstown was peopled by
Scotch, who retained the feudal idea with re-
gard to the disposal of money and land, and
frequently woman who had come to her hus-
band possessed OF property was left dependent
upon her oldest son to whom according to his
fathers will it had descended.
The indignant feelings which these scenes
aroused have born good fruits, for of late years
Mrs. Stanton has frequently appeared before
the Legislature of her own and other States
and whether her address has been regarding
the needful changes of the laws relating to in
temperance, education, divorce, slavery or suf-
frage, has always been honored by a brilliant
audience who concede to her ability and digni-
ty, and she has by her labors gained certain
notifications in the laws of New York where
by women control their property and earnings.
AS a school girl she strove for and obtained
prize offered in Greek. AS woman her
father, recognizing the acuteness of her reason
ing power, gave her the Revised Statutes to
read that she might have something sensible
to talk about to the friends who surrounded his
table. And thus hidden she began and pur-
sued the study of the laws of her country
which has since armed and equipped her for
her struggle against oppressive legislation con-
cerning women.
Old fogy as he was, this was not the effect
Judge Cady intended to produce in his brilliant
daughters mind, and years after when her
name had come to be prominently identified
with reform, he earnestly demonstrated with
her on her advanced views, and never to the
day of his death relaxed his opposition to the
measures for which she battled so long and
faithfully.
Mrs. Stanton is a woman who would COM
mand attention anywhere, and grace any sta
ton. Thoroughly conversant with whatever
topic she touches, strong in argument, full of
wit and anecdote, her genial, sunny face at
tracts and her eloquence captivates you. In
society she is a delightful companion and in
Ter own home, where seven children grace her
oard, she reigns supreme the woman and
lOther.

that eating and drinking is not only necessary
to life, but pleasure. The presence of friends
enhances the delight and in all ages and in
all countries "feast of fat things" with friends
at ones side, betokens thankfulness and a good

SOMETHING STILL TO DO.

BY W. DEXTER SMITH.
Though the day has nearly past,
Sit not down with folded hands,
Labor while the hours shall last,-
While shall flow life's golden sands,
Life is changeful-ever brief
Oil improve each feeting span,
Turn. each day, some brighter leaf,
Measure Time By deeds to man
Know'st thou not some burdened soul,
Fettered by disease and painP
Point to him the heavenly goal
Bid him rise and strive again;
Know'st thou not dropping heart,
Sinking meath misfortune's blight,
Go, and friendships warmth impart-
Give to him ray of lightl
We are not to know the way,
God shall work life's problem OUT
Let us labor while we may,
Trusting Him, nor have doubt;
And with love for all mankind,
Resting not till life be through
Let us work, when we shall find
S. tmething still for us to do!

RooM FOR "THE THIRD SEx."-There is grow
ing up in England large class of women, who
ID not marry, who do not wish to marry, but
who apparently wish not to marry. They de-
li5erately devote themselves to literature, to
teaching, to some trade, generally an artistic
o e. at any rate to some occupation that gives
a livelihood and tends to culture, and this they
choose for life. The marrying instinct seems
lead or rather never to have been born in them.
have known at least one such person in this
country. They do not seem to be thought of
as out of place; but on the contrary they move
into fit places in the great social organism,
easily and naturally, and are accepted without
remark. A late article in one of the leading pa
pers of our own country remarked that an al
most entire change had taken place in this coun-
try in current speech concerning unmarried
women who are past 80: that whereas, twenty
years ago, and always before, they were called
''old maids" and the phrase was a term of re-
proach, now it was rarely il ever used, and the
reproach which used to be cast upon such per-
sons, has almost entirely passed away Cores

MICA MINES IN North CAROLINA. Among the
most interesting relics thus far discovered of the
mysterious race OF mound builders who occupied
the Mississippi valley previous 10 the advent OF
the more barbarouS Indians, arr numerous orna-
ments of mica. Like the weapons of hammered
copper from Like SUPERIOR the shells from the
Gulf of Mexico, the implements OF Mexican stone
aud of iron ore from Missouri, these plates, OF a
mineral now found in The Great Valley, give a
plain hint of the extensive commercial relation OF
those prehistoric people
The mica was evidently mined III Western
North Carolina where their lon g'aoAndone1
workings have lately been reopeurd, and made
the scene of a very modern enterprs
Seven years or 50 ago, prominent citizen OF
North Carolina set some laborers to work III
one Of the ancient mines, in search OF silver, sal
posing that metal to have been the one sought
f,r by the original miners A considerable guam
uty Of mica was thrown out. but its value was
not recognized until a sample, which had been
sent to Knoxville as II curiosity, was seen by Mr.
Capp. who followed up the clue and leased the
mines for its mica, and revived an industry which
has added immensely to the wealth OF the region.
The mine is known as Blay locks, about twelve
miles from Bakersvlle, the county seat OF Mitch
ellis county Four or five other ancient mines
have since been reopened in ths same neighbor-
hood. besides many new ones in the same and ad-
joining couuues' .
A correspondent of the Tribune reports that
the mica trade has given general occupation TO
the population o. Mitchell county, and has made
money plentiful and thereby enabled the county
to pay off its Indebtedness, which il would other
wise have been unable to do. Mines have also
been op ned in Yancy, Haywood Burcome, Nc
Dowel, and other counties. The business is slill
in its infancy, and the methods of mining are ex-
ceedingly primitive; yet The amount OF mica pre-
duced is more than enough TO supply the large
and growing demand for the article Dealers
and manufacturers supply the mines with pat
terms ranging in size from two by three inches up
to fifteen inches square, according to which the
mica is prepared tor market. The dark or bran
dy-eolored mica brings the best price. Associa-
ted with the mica is an abundance of decomposed
snow-white fespar, which will no doubt be uIil-
ized, in time, for the manufacture of porcelain -

GRANDPA'S SOLILOOUY.

1t wasn't so when was young,
We used plain language theni ..s
We didn't speak of 'them galoots,"
When meaning boys or men.
When speaking of the nice hand write,
of Joe, or Tom, or Bill;
We did it plain-we didn't say,
"He swings nasty quill"
And when we seed girl we liked,
Who never failed to please,
We called her pretty, neat and good,
But not 'about the cheese"
Well, when met good old friend
We hadn't lately seen,
We greeted him-but didn't say,
"Hello, you old sardineP'
The boys sometimes got mad and fit;
We spoke of kicks and blows;
But now they "whack him in the suoot -
And "paste him on the nose"
Once when youth was turned away
From her he loved most dear,
He walked off on his feet-but now
lie "crawls off on his ear"
We used to dance when was young,
And used to call it so;
But now they dont-they only 'sling
The light fantastic toe."
Of death we spoke in language plain,
That would no one perplex,
But in these days one doesn't die
lie passes in his ''checks."
We praised the man Of common sense;
His Judgments good we said;
But now they say, Well, that old plum
Haf got level headv ~---
It's rather SAD the children now
Are learning all such talk;
They've learned to ''chin' instead of chat,
And waltz instead Of walk
To little Harry, yesterday
Ny grandchild, aged two
said, ''You love grandpa 2' said he,
"You bet your boots do"
The children bowed to strangers once
1t is no longer
The little girls, as well as boys,
Now greet you with "Hello !"
Oh, give me back the good old days,
When both the old ard young
Conversed in plain old-fashoned words,
And slang was never ''sung."

AS psychological study the female heart
presents many more interesting subj cts for in
vestgation than can be found in tlat which
beats in the manly breast. Women likes and
dislikes are governed by laws that are among
those things (which no fellow can f ld out"
In the first place, there is said to exist with
her constant disposition to look charitably on
masculine frailties, which she is entirely inca.
pable of feeling when the sinner belongs to her
own sex.
Men are not so unrelenting to each other
There is hardly to be found more disgusting
object than man when he is very drunk and
yet, how kindly he is cared for by his fellows;
while we cannot recollect ever having seen
drunken woman with any other escort than
the police.
Women are supposed to be-and are-so far
better than men, that their fall is much great
er; and the preservation of society demands
that there should be no relaxation in the pen
alties they have themselves imposed. But this
does not serve to explain the reason why wo-
man looks with almost tenderness upon mans
frailty, provided, there is nothing which Of
fends her taste. If he be "nice," the suspicion
that he may be naughty" is not permltteo 10
condemn him.
With very young ladies' the impression ex-
lists that good young men are generally dull;
and dull because they are good. The express
sion of this belief has doubtless wrought evil.
which, could it be traced to its source, would
pale the lips that have uttered it. There is no
more contemplate spectacle than youth who
imagines that by affecting to be fast, he is con-
cealing the fact that he is fool.
We fancy that the feeling with which women
accept the attention of men who are really
fast-for they have contempt for the imita-
ton article-is akin to that which prompts
BOYS to walk on the top of a narrow wall rath-
er than on the broad pavement alongside. 1t
is the danger which affords, in both cases, the
excitement.
There is, however, another sentiment with
which a higher type of women regard men
whose characters and fortunes have been shat
tered, and who, because they are failures, get
neither comfort nor consideration from their
own sex; which may be. explained upon the
same principle which an English writer offers
as the reason why educated people, for the
most part, prefer in natural scenery, pictur-
esque ruin to thrifty prosperity and preserva-
ton.
1t may be that there is mysterious cord in
woman's nature that pity alone can vibrate,
and that she has in her heart a little Bethesda
pool of kindliness that adversely alone can
stir.
