OLD MAIDS PARADIsE.-It appears.

greater number of marriages are be-
tween youths ofnineteen and maids of
thlrty-tWo. Whenever young man can
act nls part In The manning of a boat, he
mas arrived at the height OF his am BIZ
tlon, and therefore there is no wonder
al MS marrying early; but why he pitch
es on an old maid instead of a young
girl is not SO easily accounted for. un-
less 1T be that young men have a pecu-
liar affection for old maids, as old men
have peculiar affection for young girls.
however, III no country is lover SO
faithful to his mistress as in Shetland,
never heard ofa Shetland sailor who
was guilty of breach of promise, al
though he should be absent for ten
years. Not only does he not break his
engagement, but he never fails to write

How TO BUY MEATs.-To the house
keeper the question how to select meats,
when she is purchasing for table use, is
a puzzling one. Good neat should be
neither OF a pale rosy or pink color, nor
of a deep purple. The first denotes the
diseased condition, the last proves the
animal died natural death. GOOD
meat has more of marble look, in con.
sequence Of the branching Of the veins
which surround the adipose cells. The
fat, especially of the inner organs,
is always firm and suety, and
never moist, while in gen.
eral the fat from diseased cat
tie is flabby and watery, and more often
resembling jelly or boiled parchment.
Wholesome meat will always show it,
self firm anu elastic to the touch, and
exhibit no dampness, while bad meat
will appear soft and moist, SO that the
liquid substance runs out of the blood
wien pressed hard. Good meat has
very little smell, while the unsound
meat has a disagreeable, cadaverous
smell, and diffuses certain medicinal
odor. Lastly, bad meat has the Pc
culiarity that it shrinks considerably in
the boiling; wholesome meat rather
swells, and does not lose an ounce in
weight.

he brought back all her property. John
glanced around, locked the door on the
inside, and, taking up little child, pro-
ceeded deliberately to strip its garments

padded off with his booty, the woman
following him until she met two gentle.
