Old Maids.

In Mrs, Liverm0re's lecture at Ind
annapolis, she spoke thus eloquently of
that class of noble women usually de-
nominated "Old Maids"
IAN thI ough the land. in homes and
outside of them, | find these women,
mwedded, in the vulgar parlance of
every day speech called "Old Maid"
with Shrug of the shoulder, and a
slight dash of scOrn in the finer Ian
guage of the sociologists and essayists
denominated "supertuous women."
They have been brave enough to elect
to walk through life alone, when some
man has asked them i'm marriage, whom
they could not love; With white lips
they have said mo-" while their hearts
have said yes because duty demand
ed of them the sacrifice of their own
happiness. Their lives have been step
ping stones for the advancement of
younger sisters; they have earned the
money to carry brothers through col
lege into professions; like the Caryatides
of architecture; they stand in their
places and uphold the roof over de-
pendent household, they invert the or
der of nature and become mothers to
the aged, childish parents, fathers and
mothers. whose failing feet they guide
gently down the hill of life, and whose
withered hands they 10y and 10y fold be-
meath the daisies; they carry words of
cheer and world of comfort to house
holds invaded by trouble, sickness or
death. The dusty years stretch far be-
hind them; beauty and comeliness drop
away from them, and they grow faded
and careworn they become nobodies to
the hurrying. rushing, bustling world,
and by and by they will slip out into
the gloom-the shadows viii veil them
forever from earthly sight-the great
surprise of JOYFUL greeting will welcome
them, and they will thrill To the en-
brace of the Heavenly Bridegroom.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Boston Journal: 1t is said that Mr..
Clymer never hears the phrase, "Let no
guilty man escape" but he tnrns led
and seems to act as if he had listened
to something discouraging.
Lamar, 1.-The sweet minstrel of the
South" has been detected changing
his speech for The Record. But the
Democrats all do it. They want good
documents" for the campaign.
The chairman of the Iowa Republi-
can Committee states on his personal
knowledge that Belknap voted for Sey-
mour in 1868. In point of fact, he new
er voted Republican ticket in his
life.-Ind. Journal.
There was one good incident of the
impeachment when the Democrats even
acknowledged W. p. kellogg as the
Governor of that State, inasmuch as
they drew up PARTICLES of Impeachment
against William Pitt Kellogg, Govern.
or Of the State of Louisiana
In recent interview Secretary Robe
son said: Il am prepared for an inves-
tigation. Everything that ! have done
will bear the light of day. may have
erred, abuses may have crept INTO the
department, but no corruption can be
found in any of my official acts"
Cleveland Herald: The Democrat.
ic managers in Congress are clutching
Ben Hills windpipe with the energy of
desperation. He has speech ready
in which secession is eulogized, and the
Northern Democrats say they must
throttle him or he will kill them. "Give
the old man chance"
Chicago Inter Ocean: So one of the
virtuous Democratic committee which
exposed Belknap is himself a convicted
bribe-taker? The adage "set thief
to catch a thief" is an old one, and
appears to have been followed in this
instance with good results. But give
us further personal intelligence about
the committee. Perhaps there are 9TH
ers with interesting histories besides
Robbins.
If frauds occur among Republicans
high in power, the Republican party
has the manhood to ignore old friend
ships and to let the thunders of right
eous judgment drop upon the offenders.
We may occasionally find one man like
Belknap. who is false to his trusts, to
his party and country, but when we de-
sire to see corruption in all its bald
ness. we refer to the record of Tweed,
Garvey, Sweeney, Connolly, and their
co-conspirators of the Democratic Tam
many ring.-Mo. Herald.
There Is something amusing in the
manner that the Democratic editors
lash themselves INTO fury of indigna-
tion over the Belknap exposure. They
heap mountains of bilIngsgate upon
the President for the shortcomings OF
others, always forgetting TO add that
every one Of the drfaulters and swind.
lers came fresh from the Democracy
into the Republican camp. 1t is pass
ing strange that SD many of them hav,
remained honest, considering that they
graduated from the college of Democ.

CHANGE or SEEDS

an experienced farmer SAID to a far
mers' convention: .'Seeds that grow
on limestone land should be changed
every few years, for those which grow
on barren or gravel land, and rice versa.
Such an exchange, in his experience
always proved satisfactory. BY con-
tinuing to sow one kind of seed all
the time. the crop, through time, will
become inferior in quality. In regard
To live stock it is the same. The Chester
county stock is good, but run it awhile
and it will become inferior. We should
cross and recross our breeds. He be-
lieyed in it, practiced it, and was bene-
nted- He thought that agriculture
should become study, as the farmers
know too little about their Soils

THE VALUE OF MANURE.

Those of you who have large piles of
manure about your barns. prepare to
spread 1T upon your fields, for famine is
lowering on your Southern and South
Western borders. and as good farmers
you are in duty bound to drive back all
such attacks on resources. With plen-
~ of manure on your cornfields and
meadows. you will almost double your
resources of defense DO not We neglect
this important arm Of the public service.
While the ground is partially frozen
tie time is suspicious for this kind.

FATTENING FOWLS IN TWO WEEKS.

A writer in the London Field states
that poultry properly fed will acquire
all the fairness. needed for marketing
purposes in a fortnight or three weeks
ut most. Their diet should be Indian,
cat or barley meal scalded in milk or
water-the former is the best, as it will
expedite the fattening process. They
Should be fed early in the morning at
noon. and also in the evening just be-
fire going to reast, and given plenti-
full supply Of pure fresh water, plenty of
gravel. sliced cabbage or turnip tops.
If the fowls are required To lie very fat,
some trimmings OF fresh mutton suet
may be chopped up and scalded with
their other feed, or they may be boiled
ia milk a.one and poured over the meal.
This renders the flesh firmer than it
otherwise would he. When fit to kill,
eeding should he stopped for twelve
hours or more SO that the intestines
may become comparatively empty.
The lima bean has been found to b
a profitable garden crop. The best soil
is sandy loan thoroughly MANFRED.

The wood-pile is always needing
some attention, and a few hours day
IN chopping wood will be in order now.
But where wood is used, the winter
ought TO be improved to get up the sup
ply for the year. 1t is a very shittless
plan to leave it to the spring or summer.
Time is too valuable then To have to stop
a days work to run and get up wood to
keep the pot boiling. IL is always best
to keep stock of wood on hand for a
years supply ahead, and it is a very
comfortable and independent feeling
that attends first-rate supply of fuel.
