AN ESTERPRIsISG WooD-SAwYER.-
Emcrson Wight, elected recently, most
unexpectedly to himself and friends, to
the mayoralty of Springfield, COM
menccd life as wo0d-sawyer. lie had the
contract with the Western railroad, now
Boston and Albany, to saw the wood re-
quircd OIL their engines, and as coal was
not used in those days, the Job was no
small one. With portable horse power
and one or two assistants, hc moved from
station to station, and, by untiring indus
try, kept the locomotives supplied, gained
tho good will of his employers, and put
money in his purse. Unluckily, wien
of his guard one day, he fell upon
the track before an approaching cn.
ginc, and both his legs were cut Off be.
low the knee. After short confinement
llc was out again and about his business
as lively rs ever, having supplemented
his pedal cxtremitics with pair Of cork
legs. Ills good common sense and
thorough business qualities, which Ind n
permanent location at the other extremity
OF his body, have given him, at about the
ago of fifty, sufficient fortune, and the
deserved appreciation Of his fcllow-citi.
zens. lie has served two terms as o rep.
rcsGntativc in the Legislature, held various
offices In tho city government, and will
do honor to the pssition to which he
has just bccn callCd.-BoSton Trdnseripf

THE FIRGSIDE.
Why Our Women Fade so Quickly.

Mnny times have VIC vague impressions
OF certain truth, which will never bt
brought to our minds with all its force
unless brought out by external circum.
stances. 1t is n sad and deplorable fIct
that we cannot fully appreciate blessing
until it is lost To us. A girl comes to
wOmnn's estate fair, fresh, beautiful ms a
velvcty rosc sparkling with crystals of
dew in the first blush Of a summers s morn
ing. One, to look ut lier, would hardly
be reminded that tho lovely structure IS
composed of hot soda bs 9cuit, strong cof-
fee, cake, sweetmeatS, etc. Buttsuch is
! the leniency of nature that one may mr.
rive at this ago on such fare and appear
wholesome. But how transient this beauty
when its consistency is tested by the stern
experience of lifel Under the sober cares
fades rs the morning glory
i'll the hot sunshine. From three to five
years from maturity we see evidence of
decay in proportion to the mcagrencss Of
the foundations. Tho rich nut-brown
becomes thin and scraggy; the pcarly
teeth become decayed and unsightly, so
that when the mouth is opened you are
reminded of the opening of II long closed
scpulchre "full of dead bones and I'M
clcanness." Next you perceive TINT the
skin has lost its fresh and rosy hue. The
rose and lily hive vanished and given
placc to something that reminds one
strongly of the parchment used for drum
heads. The face that was so peachy and
fresh is now shiny, and flabby, and wrip-
Killed.. Is 1t necessary that this beauty
should be so short-livcd, instead of Joy
that is commensurate with life3 No! u

man thirty-fyc, and a woman ut thirty.
Let them stand side by side. What pic

But the carly degcncracy in health of
the women of our land cannot be chiefly
attributed to bad dietetic habits, for If
such were the case it would include the
men also. 1t is, however, due to fashion.
How can they be healthy wrapped in such
swaddling bands7 See them dragging
about heavy, trailing, clinging skirts
some loaded like coats of mail, making
1t heavy task for them to be even parlor
ornament. Such clothing hinders activity,
and activity is necessary to prevent stag

bounding gcirculationis is essential to beauty,
and that bad circulation gives person
blue. pinched look, like quail divcst-
ed Of its plumagc.
Another great enemy to beauty is foul
air. Men, ns n rule, are exposed to the
best mir that the market affords the greater
pnrt of the time. Hence it is their food,
although it may not he of the best quality,
is better digestcd and assimilated. How
is it commonly with womenl Without
sufficient bodily exercise to secure n good
circulation, they also increase the diff

to feast the poor of the adjoining parishes

lie recovered he was bent upon having it,
md. rs it was put off till the summer, lie
had it arranged in the open air, and n
line sight it was; fifty-four tables, each
iity feet long, were placed in n vast semi
:ircle on u lawn before the house. The
tables were all spread with cloths and
plates and dishes; two great tents were
erected in the middle to receive the pro-
visions, which were conveyed in carts,
like ammunition. Plum puddings and
loAves were piled like cannon balls, and
innumerablc joints of boiled and roast
