Slurs on Women.

At dinner in New York, al
which no women were present, &
man on responding to the toast
woman" dwelt almost solely upon
the sex, claiming that the best
among them were little better than
the worst, the chief difference being
in the surroundings.
When the speech was concluded,
gentleman present rose to his feet
and said: Il trust the gentleman
in the application of his remarks re.
fers to his own mother and sisters
not ours The effect of this most
just and timely rebuke was over
whelming, and the maligner of wo-
men was covered with confusion and
shame.
This incident serves an excellent
purpose in prefacing a few words
which we have had in our minds for
long time to say.
OF all the evils prevalent among
young men we know OF none so
blighting in its moral effects as the
tendency to speak lightly of young
women. Nor is there anything in
which young men are so thoroughly
mistaken as in the low estimate they
form of the integrity of women; not
of their own mothers and sisters,
thank God, but of others, who they
forget are somebody else's mothers
and sisters.
AS a rule, no person who surren-
ders to this debasing habit Is safe
to be trusted with any enterprise re-
quirIng integrity of character.
Plain words should be spoken on
this point, for the evil is general
one and deep rooted. If young
men are sometimes thrown in the
society of thoughtless and giddy wo
men, they have no more right to
judge all other women by what they
see of these than they would to es
innate the character of honest and
respectable citizens by the develop
ment of crime in the police courts.
Let young men remember that
their chief happiness in life depends
upon their utter faith in women.
For worldly wisdom, no generali-
cation can cover or weaken this fun
damental truth. 1t stands like the
record of God himself, for it is
nothing less than this, and should
put an everlasting seal upon the
lips that are wont to speak lightly
of women.-Er.

The Wife's Pin Money.

We do not know if it be possible
for IL an to understand sensitive.
high-spirited woman's reluctance to
ask for money, because he can't put
himself in her place. 1t would re-
quire an impossible stretch of the
Imagination for him to conceive
what his feelings would be if he
were compelled to ask somebody
when he wanted a new hat, or coat,
or a pair of shoes Perhaps he
might be able to approximate to
something near her state of mind,
if he could recall his abject terror,
when, as boy he approached his
father to crave the boon of a few
extra dollars. A lady said to us:
81 have lain awake half the night,
dreading the stern necessity of ask
ing my husband for money next
day" Another SAID: "If l was abso-
Lutte mistress OF even the paltry sum
of one b4ndred dollars year, so
that l could spend it without feel
ing responsible to anybody, should
feel that great weight had been
lifted from me-" A wife who does
her share of the work for the family
and by careful management and con
irving adds to the common fund,
is entitled to her share of the profits,
and the division should be justly
and cheerfully made by the head of
the firm, as with any other partner.
If woman were so recognized and
trusted many whose souls are now
tormented about the vexed question
Of their rights" would be content

Planting Trees.

A pioneer" says on this subjec,
Il have transplanted many hundred
forest trees in the last ten years,
aud have rarely lost a tree, and
most of them set in the fall. One
of the most important rules TO be
observed is, before taking up a tree
mark it in some manner so that you
Will know which is the north side,
so as TO be able to reset il in exactly
the position it grew in the woods.
This may seem to many of no i'm
portance. but 20 those who know
that there is in the bark and wood
of all trees a radical difference be-
tween the north and south sides,
the north side being close grained
and tough, while the south side is
invariably more open grained and
brash, or soft, the Importance will
be seer. If this is done your tree
does not have TO undergo com
plete change in all parts, and is
ready to start OF and grow at the
proper time as though it had not
been moved"

What Agriculture Does.

Without agriculture there is nc
wealth. Gold and silver are not
weaIth-they are its convenient
representatives; commerce produces
no WEALTH. simply exchanges it;
manufacture and the arts combine
it. Agricultureis the prolific moth
er of wealth-the rest simply han
die it when produced and delivered
into their hands.
The earth breeds wages. Agri-
culture breeds enlightened nations !;
it breeds houses and ships, temples
and seminaries; it breeds the man
ufactory; sculpture, painting and
music are its offspring. The wheels
of the work shops, the sails of com
merce, the implements of science,
the pen of genius, the pencil and
chisel of the artist, the eloquent
tongue of the orator, the schemlng
brain Of the statesman, the equip
ages of wealth, the banquetings of
pleasure-all render earth in its
tides of life anything but a great
sepulchre, move and have power Of
being, because the fields yield their
fruits to the patient toll Of the hus-
bandman.
We might manage to live without
merchants, without mariners, with
out orators, without poets; perhaps
we might survive the loss of the
demagogues-but sure 1 am We
could not live without plowmen.
The state of husbandry in any
country is the best test of its en-
liohtenment. The thermometer of
civilization rises or falls as drives
the pillow. You may send the
plow," exclaimed a man who had
travelled all over Christian mission
airy ground, Gin heathen lands; a
barbarian natioB needs to be plowed !
mp deep, SUBSIDIZED, planted and the
harvest will be an en-
Iightened nation"

Answer Your children's Questions.

Education is enormously sup
posed only TO be had at school.
The most ignorant children often
have been constant in their attend
ance there, and there have been very
intelligent ones who never saw the
inside of school room. The child
who always asks an explanation OF
terms or phrases it cannot under
stand, who is never willing to repeat.
parrot-like, that which is incompre
hensible, will far outstrip in "educa-
ton" the ordinary routine scholar.
Education" goes on with children
at the fireside, in the street, ut
church, at play-everywhere. Then,
do not refuse to answer their prop
er questions. Do not check this
natural intelligence, for which books
can never compensate, though you
might bestow whole libraries.

LADIES COLUMN.
HAROLD, EDITOR.
A Remedy for Divorces.


Marry in your own religion.
Never both be angry at once.
Never taunt with past mistake.
Never allow a request to be re
peated.
Let kiss be the prelude of a re-
buke.
Let seIf-abnegation be the habit
of both.
a forgot" is never an acceptable
excuse.
If you must criticise, let it be
done lovingly.
Make marriage matter of moral
judgement.
Marry into a family which you
have long known.
Never make remark at the ex-
pense of the other.
Never talk at one another, either
alone or in company.
Give your warmest sympathies
for each others trials.
If one is angry let the other part
the lips only for kiss.
Neglect the world outside sooner
than one another.
Never speak loud to one another
unless the house is on fire.
Let each strive to yield oftenest
to the wishes of the other.
Always leave home with loving
words, for they may be the last.
Marry into different blood and
temperament from your own.
Never deceive, for the heart, once
misled, can never trust wholly
again.
The very felicity is in the mutual
cultivation of usefulness.
1t is the mother who moulds the
character and fixes the destiny of
the cnllQ.
Never find fault unless is is per
fectly certain fault has been com
mitted.
Do not herald the sacrifice you
make to each others tastes, habits
are preferences.
Let all your mutual accommoda-
tions be spontaneous, whole soulcd
and as free as air.
Consult one another il all that
comes within the experience, obser-
vatlon or sphere Of the other.
Those who marry for physical
characteristics or external consider
atoms will fail of happiness.

1t has been said that he who can
produce four blades of grass where
two had grown is greater than he
who conquers worlds.
AS we are a novice upon a minia-
ture farm, try ing prayerfully with
the present system of labor, to bring
''order out Of chaos" and be sue
cessful in our new occupation, we
beg the farmers of Giles, those
whose practical experience renders
them capable, to advise us.
We come to you with our ques
tions because OF your annual iairs
and the regal pride you took in ex-
hibiting your thoroughbred stock,
and the splendid productions OF
your farms. We can never rival or
compete with you, as much as our
inelinations would push US, and you
can safely invest US with the secret
of successful farming.
What kind of clover is best to
enrich lands? What quantity of
seed is necessary per acre upon
ground that needs rest? Will sap
ling clover mixed with timothy pre-
vent hills from washing? When is
the best time for saving clover upon
wheat-drilled wheat land, and the
quantity of seed and the manner OF
putting it in?
Are oats deleterious and exhaust
ing to lands? What part of the ear
of corn is best to select seed to
make vigorous corn? What kind
of grass or clover is best for an or
chard? We shall be more than ia
vored to have the above questions
| answered.
In conclusion, allow us to con
gratnlate you with the rest of the
Giles countians upon the wonderful
success achieved at your October
Fair, and the emulation you have
stimulated in others to GO and do
likewise.
We earnestly hope FOR the future
prosperity of the county that they
may be continued. Aside from
this they serve another estimable
purpose; that is, In bringing the
people together in social and cor
dial intercourse. And is it not a
great feature in life to gather to-
gether around the bountiful, deli
cious repasts that are always spread
by the noble women of Giles! They
cannot be surpassed in the culinary
art-nor indeed, in any fine art.
Everywhere their handiwork was
seen, like the sun, giving light and
strength 10 the whole movement-a
silent power; a powerful aid, in per
petuating the annual exhibitions of
your county, and browning you with
success. Everybody seemed salts
fed, well pleased; and autumn, that
sgt throned upon her thousand hills
in her opaline glOries Of purple and
gold, fire and flame of the sea gem,
smiled upon the happy scene -
and rained tears over the separation
and adicus!
Let US hear from you at yonr
leisure that we may profit In our
new occupation by your experience
and wisdom, for which we will ever
remain obliged.

NY LITTLE WOMAN.

Would the diamond seem such peerless gem
If it measured on foot arounds
Would the rose-leaf yield such sweet perfume
fit covered yards of groundl
Would the dew-droIs seem 20 clear and pure
fdew like rain should fall?
Or the little woman be half 50 great
If she were six feet tall!
IT'S the hand as soft as the nesting bird
That grips with the grip ofsteel;
'Tis the voice as sweet as the summer wind
That rules without appeal.
And the warrior, scholar, the saint and sage
May fight, and plan, and pray;
The world will wag to the end of time
In the little woman's way.

/ would like to say a few words
on a subject my mother explained
to me as the cause of so many
young girls being discomfort with
staying at home. Though they ap-
pear to have everything necessary
for their comfort and happiness, it
is too often the fault of mother
for when a girl arrives at a certain
age there must be something more
inducive than the general routine OF
work, books and music, to occasion
ally break the monotony. And If
we shouldsask mother to allow us
the use of the parlors so that we
may ask some of our young friends
in and pass an occasional evening
mirthfully and in such a way that
we can realize we have home, and
are content to treat it as such, be-
cause we have inducements thrown
out which make home pleasant and
cheerful. OF course there are other
little luXuries that will have to be
INDUCED in that too many mothers
with a view to economy and good
housekeeping will say cannot be
afforded, should think you girls
could content yourselves with your
books and music and not keep the
house in an uproar and muss all the
time. Well what are we to do to
break this monotony? We can't
steady ourselves down as old peo-
pie, and think of nothing but rest af-
ter the routine of work and music
is done. No, If that desire cannot
be gratifled at home we will try and
find it somewhere else, and seeing so
many young girls on the streets and
in the parks with their actions in
dicating that their ideal of pleasure
is found, we take to the same re-
sorts to drive away the dullness of.
time, and soon form a love for it,
and innocent airtations," not
thinking that we are on the short
and straight road to ruin. For what
good ever comes from a girl that is
street Sddder or park firtsr.
And if we should have a mother
that would not allow our evening
rambles, it would have to be pre-
vented by the iron rod" and in so
doing what kind Of disposition
would it give us2 Surely she could
not think of forming Il cheerful and
pleasant one in that way2 Gentle
persuasion" will almost always go |
further toward getting a desire graf
fled than the rod.
If mother would stop and think,
it appears to me that she would see
that this is not the age she lived in
when young; and there have to be
different calculations made for the
amusement of us girls to win US to
be content at home.
l know if all girls were of my dis
position (romping and cheertul) a
ong intelligent book at all times,
and from all, would not suffice to
them, and make them love
home. That may do for some, but
We are not all alike and our dlspo-
'itions should be studied Cor rather
mothers should kaoic them from
Watching over US from infancy and
know what to do TO content and
Imuse us to keep us from that most
trait-street gadding.-
