THE SEXES.

What makes those men who asso-
ciate h~abitually with women superior
to others? What makes that woman
who is accustomed to and at ease
in the company of men superior to
her sex in general? Why are the
ladies' of France so universally admir-
ed and loved for their cOlloquial
powers? Solely because they are in
the habit of a free, graceful and con-
tinual conversation with the other
sex. Women i'll this way lose their
frivolity. their faculties awaken, their
delicacles and peculiarities unfold all
their beauty and captivation, in the
spirit of intellectual rivalry. And
men lose their pedantic, rude, decla-
matory or sullen hammer The coin
of the understanding and heart is in
terchangcd continually. Their as
perities are rubbed off: their better
materials polished and frightened,
and their richness, like fine gold, is
wrought into fine workmanship by the
fingers of women than it ever could
by man. The iron and steel of our
character are laid aside like the harsh
ness Of a warrior in the time of peace
and security.

TABLE MANNERS.

Nowhere do good manners, or their
lack, show more strikingly than at the
table. The younger ones come with
the strong appetite, and natural inn
patience of childhood. The mother
Is frequently tired from the hbor of
preparing the meal-the father in a
hurry to return 10 his work. Too
often the whole meal ii ahasty scram-
BILE to satisfy hunger, without a
thought of attention to any but ssbig
T. or a car how the food is eaten,
il only enough can be deyoured to
satisfy the hunger. Nova meal eaten
in this way, not only presents an UNI
pleasant spectacle to refined eyes, but
it actually tends to degrade those
who partake of it. Greed and selfish.
ness are just as sinful ut the table as
anywhere else. The child two years
old, who cries to be and is helped
first, receives a strong impulse to-
wards ~selfishness and disrespect. The
mother who teaches her children to
control their appetites, to wait on
th~eirselders and each other, to eat
slowly and with moderation, teaches

on the left side !; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder-blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for a rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss of

full sensation of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient
complains ofweariness and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation of the skin; his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied thae exercise would be bene-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he d~istrusts every REM

toms attend the disease, but Ges

EGGS-HOW INCREASED.

/. If an increase of eggs be desired in
the poultry yard, before large sums of
money are expended in the purchase
of everlasting layers, W. would recon-
mend the system of keeping 10 hens
after the first, or at the most their
scond year. Early pullets give the
increase, and the only wonder is that
people persist, as they do, in keeping
up a stock of old hens, which lay one
day and stop the next. In some
parts of Europe, it is the invariable
rule to keep pullets only one year.
Feeding will do a good deal-a sur
prising work indecd-in the pro-
duction of eggs, but not when old
hens are concerned. They may put
on Fat, but they cannot put down
eggs. j.. Their. tale is told, their work
is done. Nothing remains to be done
with them but to give them a smell of
the kitchen fire, and the sooner they
get that the better. OF course there
are some old varieties whose lives
ought to be spared as long as they are
able to send forth their representa-
tives. Judieious mating-by which
we the advantage of a youthful
cockerel-may be the means of even
exhibition poultry making their APP
pearance from the eggs of the good
old hen, and here we have the excep.
ton to the rule.-[London Agricul,

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
THE FARMERS DAUGHTER.

Hh fAnMEhS DAUGHfER.
She lives within a quiet home,
No model of the graces,
Unknown TO cultures higher walks.
Or fashions giddy places;
A thoughtful girl, so sweet, so wise,
With earnest face and laughing eyes
The farmers gentle daughter.
From morn till eve the little maid
Is busy at her labor
She sweeps and dusts the old farm
house,
And helps a poorer neighbor;
No gossip will she listen to
A merit rare, / own to you
so lives the farmers daughter.
On baking days her tiny hands
Are busy at the making;
No bread more light and sweet than
hers,
Was ever made by baking;
She churns the butter golden sweet,
And keeps the dairy white and neat
The farmers happy daughter.
Her garden is as Eden fair,
A-bleom pink and roses;
She knows the name of every flower,
And makes some gorgeous posies
And corn and squash, and herbs tc
press,
The farmers happy daugeter.
Long may she bravely smile on us
Our darling household fairy,
The queen of garden, house and lot
And princess of the dairy
To teach us by her pleasant way
To love the things.of every day
God bless the farmers daughter,

A HOLE IN TIE POCKET.

The mean small boy is different
from the mean big boy, because all
of his tricks are calculated to make
other hearts ache. He now takes a
silver quarter and makes it fast to a
string, and to see him hanging about
the Post Office one would set him
down as a boy who never had an
evil thought. He selects a victim
and drops the quarter where it will
do the most good. The ring on the
metal commands attention Mt once,
and the programme is carried out as
in a case yesterday. The victim was
a short man with Il very red neck,
and when he heard the quarter drop
he clapped his hand on his pocket and
looked around.
''Did you drop a quarter?'' mildly
asked the mean small boy, pointing
to one OH the stone floor.
"Ah! must be a hole in my pocket
replied the fat man as he pulled W
the knees of his pants and bent ovel
TO pick it up.
He had his fingers on the money
when it slid away, and as he straight.
ened he was greeted with fiendisl
chuckles from half a dozen mean big
and mean small boys, n of whom
inquired:
(which pocket has q hole I'M"
The man didn't say. For some in
explicable reason lie refused to enter
into any explanation, but hastenet
away.-Detroit Free Press.
