The Old House.

Who has seen 1.-THE old house
place by the roadside? There it
stands, but a monument of a long
ago. Years have elapsed, and the
world has been ever -moving along
in it's same old rounds since the
half-fOrgotten day it was made va
cant and desolate. And now, here
and there, all about it is loneliness.
All is in ruins.
A tottering chimney, the thresh-
hold stone, and traces of a founda-
tion structure which once had been,
are all that is left to-day of the old,
old house-place. The Iilacs at the
gateway, the climbing roses by the
wall, may remind each passer-by, in
their blossomings, that a cosy cot
tage has once existed there. The
fragrance which they lend the air,
the sweetness which they give the
air around-how much it tends to
carry the mind backward to the
other years! But, alas! one year
and another have come and gone,
and the once jewellers in the cot
tage have vanished, and the old
house place shall see them no more
forever.
The old house place-there it is
Its ruins are there, but every year
they are buried deeper and deeper
in the shadow of the past, and they
soon will be sunk in the oblivion OF
ages. Everything viii be displaced
all shall be thrown down and made
low, and one stone shall no longer
rest upon another. This must eeds
be, for the works of change and
decay are perpetually going on, and
they cease not ever, nor turn aside
from the path Of devastation which
everywhere lies IL their way.

The Length of Life.

Reasoning from analogy, we find
it stated in Health Maxims," men
ought to live a century, as it seems
to be a general law in the animal
creation that life should be five
times the period required for
growth. Many of the insect tribes
mature and fructify in an hour and
die before the close of the day. A
dog grows for two years and lives
eight; an OK grows for four years
and lives sixteen; a horse grows
for five years and lives twenty five;
a camel grows for eight years and
lives forty; man grows for twenty
years and should live to one hun
dred.

Fashions.

Though fashions have been dis
cussed and re-discussed, still the
ladies call for more, and they must
be gratified. The cheapness of
goods at the present time is quite a
temptation to females to exercise
their love for dress, though it is
hard to get money to pay for them
at any price. Just think of calico
selling at 5 cents per yard, when we
have known one calico dress to cost
$36, or even more during the war.
A. q ball recently given by Mr..
Childs of the Philadelphia Ledger,
the Empress of Brazil was dressed
in peach blossom silk beneath ex-
quisite white lace, which completely
covered the trained skirt and cor
sage. Her diamonds were each
larger than an acorn. Mrs. Grant
was arrayed in tinted white silk,
1prolusely trimmed with embroidery
and point lace. Over thin dresses
scarfs are used for overdresses; two
or three are carried across the front
and draped gracefully at the back.
Galloon is used great deal for trim
ming. Stockings to match all cos
tunes are still used. Stripes run
ming up and down have superseded
the stripes running round. The
Russian blouse for children is per
fectly straight, allowing freedom t.
the child. 1t is trimmed around
the bottom, pockets and square
neck edging, down the front witt
rows of buttons and gallUon.

An Extract from a Letter of
Bishop Marvin.

Bishop Marvin, writing to the
New Orleans Christian Advocate,
after giving an account Of the gen
eral condition of his church in the
Mariana District, has the follow
ing entertaining account of the fin
ancial condition of the country
through which he has lately passed,
and also gives excellent advice,
which it would be well for people,
not only in this section, but every
where else in the south to follow.
He says:
"a large proportion of the farm
ing population are in embarrassed
circumstances. Many are very poor.
1t is not uncommon to see small
plantations. mere patches, cultivated
with one OK. I met on the road a
large number Of carts each drawn
by a single OK in shafts. Many small
farmers have no horse nor mule
From what ] hear, it is the rule
rather than the exception that the
/ planters, large and small, their way
ons, teams, farming implements and
and next crop are mortgaged to
the merchants for this years sup
plies. This is habitually the case
from year to year. The average
planter is Il year behind. This is
Il dreadful state Of things. The
man who buys on long credit pays
enormous prices, and then interest
on the account besides; he pay s in
the long lun, perhaps double the
amount to the mel chant that he
would if he paid the cash. Thus he
is ground to the earth. The plant
ers who keep out of debt are max
ing money. The others are be,
coming more and more hopelessly
involved.
L 1 had the ear of the youne
men Of this country L would say
one word, SO far as the affairs o
this world are concer- ed. Tha
word would be: Keep out o
debt-Eeep Out of deJt-KEEP OUT OF
DEBT. Wear patches on you
clothes seven deep, if need be, bu
keep out of debt. Live on corr
bread and water, if worst comes t,
worst, but keep out of debt. An,
man who will do this will do well il
this country. 1t is an easy countr.

The Newspaper Itch.

The State Journal, Columbus,
Ohio, has this to say about the ma
MIA for getting into the newspaper
business:
Nearly every considerable town in
the country has had its period of
newspaper itch, corresponding with
the measles and whooping cough
in children, and has found out af-
ter an experience that has been
somewhat costly TO individuals, if
not the general public, that enough
St thing is enough Most Ohio
towns have gotten over this sophOm-
oric malady, few have entirely es-
capped it, for if there is one thing
above another that nearly every
body thinks himself qualified for,
but which very few are really com
petent to pelform, it is the arduous
and multifarious labors of editing a
newspaper. Consequently scores OF
men have rushed into the business
who knew no more about it than q
goose does about Sanscrit. and
there has been a multiplicity OF
starveling journals calling them
selves newspapers, which were in re
ality nothing but the experiments
OF infatuated amateurs.

Originality.

If we study the great men we
shall find they were not SO much
distinguished by originality as by
range or extent of thought. If we
require of them that originality
which consists Of weaving, like the
spider, their web from their own
bowels, we shall not succeed in OBJ
tanning it. No great man was orig
inal. Least of all does originality
consist in unlikeness to other men.
A great man is center of things
seeing the wants of other men, and
sharing their desires-adds also
strength of arm to come at their
point. The greatest genius is the
most indebted mantle greatest
poet is a man in unison with his
time and country. The great man
does not wake up and say, 1 will
square the circle-ransack botany
and discover another food for man
i have a new architecture in my
mind-I will forcsee Il new organic
power. No! he is forced on by the
genius of his contemporaries. He
stands where all the eyes of man
look, and their hands all point the
direction in which he should go
He finds the materials ready to his
hands-they have sunk the Mills
and bridged the rivers for his
road. Men, poets, women, have all
worked for him, and he has entered
into their labors. Great general pow
er. we might almost say, consists in
not being original at all, but to the
greatest extent receptive.

Importance of Good Cooking.

To cook a potato exactly right, so
that it will be just done and no
more, be mealy, white, perfect, re-
quires an exercise of that talent a
little short of genius; so one would
think who eats the vegetable at or
ordinary tables. The same is true
Of onions, that odorous bulb, which
is almost always served UNDERGONE /;
of beans which are either burned in
the baking or dried to a choking
consistency. Now q hungry cpl
cure even can make a good meal of
three or four things-nIcely cooked
meat; perfectly prepared potato, q
dish of ripe fruit and exemplary
bread and butter. 1t is not variety
or quantity that is so important as
quality, and if those who cook could
only realize this and precipitate all
their powers upon the perfect prep
aration of only two dishes at each
meal, those who feed at their hands
would certainly be the gamers. 1t
is a great deal easier, when one has
really made up her mind to it, to
have everything just right than it is
to let things drift, for one right
thing fits into another right thing
and then the whole is right. Badly
cooked food is not only sheer waste
in nerve, muscle, but soul power. The
hungry body Vainly attempts recu-
peration in trying to digest and as
simulate food not convenient" for
it, so that what might might have
been accomplished had the food
been right remains undone.-New
York Tribune.

Attractive Women.

The most noticeable women at
the Centennial opening were the
wife of the Spanish Minister, Senior
Mantilla de los Rios, and the wife
of Tunis shawl and slipper mer-
chant. The Sonora de los Rios is
beautiful, and wore an extremely
elegant national costume, while the
Tunis woman, a pretty African,
wore also a very handsome costume,
with golden rings on ankles and
arms. Both these ladies made a
sensation, and the Tunisian will do
good business in slippers and
shawls.

Mother.

Young man, don't forget your
mother, though her sacred dust may
sleep in some distant graveyard.
Remember her loving look when
you were hayward; her gentle hand
when you needed restraint; her
quick remedy for your every pain.
You may have other friends, but
you will never find such a friend
with words so kind, with looks so
fond, with deeds so unseltish, with
hand so untiring, with heart so true
and loving. Don't forget her kind
ness, her admonitions, her prayers,
her fearful counselings, her God.

Freckles, says the Herald of Health,
are not easily washed out of those
who have a ford complexion and
are much in sunshine, but the fol
lowing washes are not only harm
less but very much the best of any
thing we know: Crate hOrseradish
fine, let it stand few hours in but
termilk, then strain and use the
wash night and morning. Or sqeeze
the juice of lemon in half goblet
of water and use in the same way.
Most remedies for freckles are pois-
onOus and cannot be used with safe
ty. Freckles indicate defect in
digestion, and consist in deposits
of fatty matter beceath the
scarf skin. The diet should be at
tended to, and should be of a ma
ture that the bowels and kidneys
will do their duty. Daily bathing,
with much friction, should not be
neglected, and the Turkish bath Ia
ken occasionally if convenient.

ANOTHER ENOCH ARDEN
STORY.
What an Industrious jersey
Reporter Asks the Public
to Believe.

Between six and seven years ago
Charles Trautman, a well-known
contractor for laying a concrete
pavement in Elizabeth, disappeared,
leaving wife and three children.
He was known to be in comfortable
circumstances, sober and industri-
Gus, and supposed to be fondly at
tached to his family. His absence
made much speculation. After
years had passed without tidings Of
the missing man, his wife sold what
little property remained to support
herself and children, and short
time ago married and removed to
Trenton.
On Saturday morning last Traut
man appeared in Elizabeth, and told
an old friend that after he aban-
doned his family he went to Liver
pool, and thence to the South Afri
can diamond fields. This was short
" after the discovery Of diamonds
there. 1t was his intention at the
start to try his fortune, and if sue
sessful to return home and surprise
his wife. He said he worked hard
for two or three years and accom-
| plished his mission, and had re-
turned to settle down. When told
that his wife had removed to Tren
ton and had married again he
evinced no surprise, saying that his
friends had informed him of that
fact since he returned, and that his
object was to have an interview
with her and his children. He went
to Trenton, and to day he returned
with two Of his children. He saiC
that his wife was very glad to see
him, but she preferred to remain
, with the man who had protected
land cared for her while he wa:
gone, who also, singular to relate
deserted his first wife, who is nov
living in Union county, and who u
. to this time has not instituted Grim
/ inal proceedings.
Trautman has several diamonds
one of which is valued at So, 900, al
of which he dug in the South Afri
can diamond mines.

Take one part (by weight ofres-
in, one part of beeswax, and four
parts of good fresh or sound lard.
Mix and melt together over a slow
fire, so as to be sure not to burn the
mixture. 1t makes an ointment
that is superior to anything I have
seen for the flesh of either horses or
cattle, for either fresh or old sores,
and is especially good to remove
old dry soabs. 1t softens the scab
and it comes off, leaving the skin
soft and tough.
The mixture is the best thing
ever used for boots or shoes for
outdoor wear, as it makes spungy
leather waterproof, and hard leath-
er soft.-LS. D., in Southern Guilt

A writer in an agricultural paper
claims that there is death in the
dishcloth. Perhaps they don't know
how to cook 'em at his house. We
never ate a dishcloth, but we think
that if they we're soaked "a hours

and drawn with butter before plac-
ing on the table, they would be ev-
