A CHARMING WOMAN
BY JOHN @. SAKE.

charming woman, I've heard II said
BY other women AZ light as she
But all In vain puzzle my head
To find wherein the charm may be.
Her face, indeed, Is pretty enough,
And her form Is quite as good as the best
Where nature has given the bony stuff
And a clever milliner all the rest.
Intelligent? Yes, in certain way;
With the feminine git Of ready speech:
And knows very well what not TO say
Whenever the theme transcends her reach,
But turn the topic on things to wear,
From an opera cloak 10 a robe de NUT
Hats, basques, or bOnnets-twill make you stare
Tosee how fluent the lady can be,
Her laugh Is hardly thing to please
For an honest laugh must always start
From gleesome mood, like sudden breeze,
And hers is purely matter OF art
muscular motion made 70 show
What nature designed to lie beneath
The finer mouth; but what can she do,
II that Is ruined to show her teethY
To her seat In churcb-a good half mile
When the day Is fine she is sure 70 go,
Arrayed of course, In the latest slyle
La mode de Paris has got 70 show
And Ehe nuts her hands on the velvet pew
(Can hands so white have a taint OF sin
And thinks how her prayer books tint of blue
Must harmonize with her milky skin,
Ahi what shall we say of one who walks
In fields of flowers 10 choose the weeds2
Reads authors of whom she never talks,
And talks ofauthors she never reads?
She's charming woman, I've heard 1t said
BY other women as light as she;
But all in vain lpuzzle my head
To find wherein the charm may be.

The Fall Trade.

The New York Express is OF the
opinion that there is every reason
now to look for good fall trade,
which will greatly benefit the mer-
chants of the East. The official
figures Of the railways of the Unit
ed States for 1874, showing an in
crease In net earnings of So, $50, 1896,
and saving in operating expen-
ses of III, 714,315, have done much
towards the restoration of conf
dence, and hence the Improvement
in prices at the stock exchange, at
the close of the past week. The inl-
preston, the Express says, grows
stronger day by day that we have
not only reached, but passed the
turning point, and that the future
is likely to bring with it a general
improvement throughout the coun
try 1t Is sincerely hoped that
these favorable declarations and
anticipations may prove true.

ToSaye Money.

Save all the manurial productions Of
the farm. This may be considered a
tritc theme by some Of our readers, but
the best agriculturists and horticulturists
OF the country agree in advising all who
cultivate the soil to uservery means pos
sible to save stimulants, no matter b. w
much of natural fertility there is in it.
No pound Of manure should ever be
suffered to wash away 10 waste from the
stable, hog pen, hen roosts. or even from
the back door Of the kitchen. Every far
mer who lis rot more fastidious than
wise, will spread the waste matter from
the kitchen door, which so often makes
the back yard damp, unsightly place,
frequently forminga nuclus for the pro-
pagation of miasma Friends, if you
want your homes healthful and pleas
ant ones, and also to increase your re-
ceipts, give this your attention, and re-
member whatever increase Of produce
ton you secure, is so much clear gain,
because it will cost you no more to cul-
tivate nor harvest the same than it does
without. Pit what the houses produces
on the garden. and what the stable and
hog pen produce on the farm.

No man can answer for his own waller

Perfect vaior is 10 do unwitnesSed

This il comfort, that nothing but
fidelity is required of stewards, not tall

Goodness and truth are Of more
weight than brilliant talents, and good

virtues
What we habituate ourselves to adj

what we associate with we gradually

good are much stronger than they who
alone go out to fight the evil.

Immense Advertising.

last year, nearly one per cent. Of the to-
tai amount of their sales. Mr.. Stewart,
the head Of the firm, is regarded as one
Of the shrewdest men in the United

ness is universally conceded to be par
excelance, the standard for merchants
to follow. And yet there are hundreds
ofmerchants and tradesmen W would
hold up their hands in horror if it were
proposed to them to invest a fraction of
one per cent. in advertising They can
not be persuaded that what Mr. Stew
art fnds profitable they would also, il
they would but try it. IL needs little

Painlessmess of Death From
Lightning.
| from the atlantic Monthly. |

FROM me Attu1ttlc lHO7t5tty.l
Here let me observe that death
from lightning must be painless.
The nerves Of the human body do
not convey a sensation Of pain to
the nerve centres Immediately -
There is an appreciable interval
before we are cognizant of what
has happened. The time of an
electric flash is the small fraction
of this interval. While the veloci-
ty of enervous sensation Of pain is
less than a hundred feet a second,
that of electricity, varying under
different circumstances, is many
thousand times greater. We are
killed before we know it. Yet
there Is probably a greater dread
OF death from this cause than from
almost any other cause.
