Now, that the nights are getting
longer, a fine opportunity is pre-
scented to all, and especially to work
ing men, to improve their minds,
and add TO their stores of knowl-
edge by the reading OF good books
and the current periodical literature
of the day. These long winter eve
nings might be probably spent By
all in reading. How few of our
people keep posted in the news, or
informed upon the many interesting
topics of the day. This ignorance
is not by any means confined to the
laboTing classes. Many who have
had the advantages of education in
our schools and colleges are wofuny
ignorant of the general subjects
which are discussed by the press,
and know absolutely nothing of the
literature of our time. Very many
young ladies and gentlemen, who
boast of a college education, are in
capable of conversing upon these
interesting subjects, and indeed re-
gard any person who introduces
them as an intolerable bore. 1t is
a sad commentary upon our intelli-
gence, when conversation must be
confined entirely to the conven
tiOnal frivolities and the gossip Of
the town. Our people, young and
old, need more information, and
should take advantage of these win
ter evenings to obtain it by proper
reading and conversation. Of course
no one can object to the delightful
but unimportant pieasantries of or
binary conversation. Even a little
nonsense is relished by the wisest
men. But we should all endeavor
to fit ourselves for the higher &C
complishments OF the conversations
alist, so that we may be able to con-
verse intelligently on any subject
that may be introduced. Our PEG
pie do not read enough.-Mur1rees-

LADIES COLUMN.
HARo11NE HAROLD, EDITOR.

It is almost as much as one in
offensive female can endure, to bC
called a Mrs. by an old bachelor
and an "old maid'' by a married
man, in the same breath, but we
forgive them both; the bachelor be
cause he evidently committed his
error innocently, and the married
man because he had just written his
first poem, prompted by the advent
Of his eighth offspring. No doubt
everything seemed old to him com
pared with his chubby little babe
just beginning life. We congratu-
late him on the impossibiHty of its
ever being an old maid, as
"He's boy, and not a daughter!"
We wish Il. L. n. to know that
we for ever renounced the idea of
marrying after hearing his lecture
on Love Courtship and Marriage"
We acknowledge being q maid but
old-never! while we have the beau
tiful earth, the bright sun, spring
ing flowers, laughing brooks and
the companionship Of merry child
rem whose fathers make such efforts
to hide their chagrin at the increase
of numbers. We think L. L. Ms.
suggestion a good one, and hope
the little folks will be granted a
corner or a column in the CITIZEN
for their communications and such
articles as will interest them. BY
all means let them not go from
home for this.

Solid Cider.

Who has not heard of hard cider?
But who has ever heard of solid CT
der? Well, we have. It is on ex-
hibition at Philadelphia. The wa
ter of cider is all evaporated, leav-
ing a substance looking something
like dried glue. The solid residue
Of the cider is rolled around wood
en- roller, like cloth, and is ready for
transportation across the ocean, or
elsewhere. If liquor cider is want
ed, a piece is cut off and water
poured on, when it is dissolved and
is ready to drink, and it is said to
be equal to the cider just from the
press.

Old Maids and Bachelors.

There are men and women who,
like some flowers, bloom in exquis-
tie beauty in a desert wild; they are
like trees which you often see grow
ing in luxuriant strength out of a
crevice of rock where seems not
earth enough to support a shrub.
The words "Old maid, cold bache-
lor,'- have in them other sounds
than. that of half reproach or scorn ;
they call up to many of your minds
forms and faces than which none
are carer in all this world. know
them to-day. The bloom of youth
has possibly faded from their
cheeks, but there fingers round
the form and face something dearer
than that. She is unmarried, but
the past has for her, it may be, some
chastened memories of an early love
which keeps its vestal vigil sleep
lessly over the grave where its hopes
went out; and it is too true to the
long departed to permit another to
take his place. Perhaps the years
of maiden life were spent in self
denying toll, which was too en-
crossing to listen even to the call
Of love, and she grew old too soon
in the care of mother or sister and
brother. Now in these later years
she looks back calmly on some hail
cherished hopes once attractive OF
husband and child, but which long,
long ago she willingly gave up for
present duty. So to-day in her
Loneliness who shall say that she
is not beautiful and dear?
So is she to the wide circle which
she blesses. To some she has been
all that mother could have been
and though no nearer name than
Aunt" or SISTER" has been hers,
she has to-day a mothers claim
and a mothers love. Disappoint
ment has not soured, but only chas-
tened; the midday or afternoon of
her lie is all full of kindly sympa-
thies and gentle deeds. Though
unwedded, hers has been no fruit
less life.
1t is an almost daily wonder to

WOMAN AND WINE

P Dpl went the gay cork flying,

By The light eli day that IVES dying,
He filed uD their goblets again
Let the last, best toast b woman
Woman, dear woman" said he;
''Empty your glass my darling,
When you drink TO your sex With me-
But she caught his strong, brown fingers,
And held him tight as in fear,
And through she gathering twilight
Her voice ie on ] j. ear:
Nay, ere you drink, lmFlore you,
By all ii t you hold divine,
Pledge p woman IN teaT-drops,
Rather by far than in wine.
By the woes of the drunksrd's mother,
BY his children who beg for broad,
By the fate of her whose beloved one
Looks on the wine VI hen its red,
BY the kisses changed to curses,
By the tears more bitter than BRINE,
By many a fond heart broken,
Pledge no woman in wine
What has wine brought to woman
Nothing but tears and pain;
It has torn from her heart her lover,
And proven her prayers in vain;
And her household goods all scattered,
Lie tangled up in the vine,
Obi prithce pledge no woman
In the curse of so many, wine.

That Little Hatchet.

NASHVILLE, Oct. 80, 1876.
TO the Editor of the Ladies' Column:
The letter of your fair CORES
pondent, Estelle Vehse, which APP
peared in your column some weeks
since, has led me and doubtless
many others, to expect something
more from her, as she spoke of hav-
ing a splendid treat in store for you,
which should certainly be extended,
through your generosity, to your
readers.
The letter was very good, in most
respects, and 1 read it with much
interest, though 1 could not help
disagreeing with the authoress in
one thing. 1t was certainly very
kind in her to send you, among
other things, a nice little Ratchet.
In a time of high excitement among
the ladies-such for instance, as
grows out of the important matter
of dress-it will be a good weapon
to have in your sanctum. 1t will
give you a feeling of security
against harm, and prepare you to
face, in a manner becoming a true
editor, any offended female reader
who may come rushing in with per-
emptory demand to know 'who
wrote that piece?" But it is to be
hoped you will not initiate the ex-
ample of George Washington, as
Estelle advises you to do, for it is
inconsistent with that given You by
her to '-be good girl?" Good girls
do not go around chopping down
fruits trees just for the sake Of tell
ing the truth about it. There is
plenty of truth to tell without go
ing out Of the way to find it. If
George Washington's father had
been other than an old fogy, George
would not have come out of that
cutting scrape in such flying colOrs.
Instead of patting him on the head
and commencing him as a charming
example for the boys of that and
all succeeding generations, he would
have fondled him with a good hick.
CRY, and history would have had q
far different story to relate about
that Ratchet. To be sure, it was
right and good to tell the truth; but
he had no business to cut down
the beautiful fruit tree. Now, be-
sure you don't take Estelle's advise
and soil your editorial hands by en-
gaging in any such foolishness.
Yours, OLD GILES.
