The Religion Of Bpitaphs.

| spent some time in the churchyard,
spelling out the names of some of the
old inhabitants of our early days, and
beholding with pleased surprise, from
the las usual truthful epitaphs, that
many of them were garnished and dec
grated with virtues of which, while they
lived, | had not the smallest suspicion;
so artfully had Christian humility con-
cealed their excellencies
Superstition no longer deifies the
dead, but affection angelizes them. For
my part, l think if were bedaubed and
bedizened with one of the tawdry epi-
taphs | have sometimes seen in "a cOun-
try churchyard, it would be enough to
make me get up in the night and
scratch it out. There was our old ac-
quaintance, Farmer Vessey's fat wife,
who resembled, as one said of her like,
"a fillet of vealu pom castors, " decked out
in a suit of virtues which might not
have misbecOme seraph. Several
others of our old acquaintances L found
were such wives, mothers, neighbOrs,
friends; so charitable, gentle, forgiving!
Surely the parson in their time must
have had an easy time of it, an absolute
sinecure, with such flock.
1t is really odd to see so much wick
edness above ground, and so much good
ness under it, All! il they could but
change places, what a pleasant world it
would be- Or, rather, perhaps, we
ought to say, "Who can wonder that so
much iniquity is left among the living,
when such carloads of all the cardinal
and other virtues are thus yearly show
eveled into the earth by the under
taker ?n Anyway, however, it is a
pleasant thing to find our old friends
improved by keeping, and looking bet
ter in their winding-sheets than they
ever did in silks or satins.-Ihe GTeysOn

HUSBAND AND WIFE.-The "good
old times" when a wife was to be a
mere echo and family repeat her hus-
bands latest opinions, have gone. If
that is your notion of a wife, you ought
to have lived in Corinth in the first
century; or you ought to live in India
now. And even in India you would
have.to keep out of the way of trouble
some Miss Britain. Your wife is enti-
tied to her own individuality, to her
own opinions. They ought to clash
sometimes with yours, and you both
ought to know how to strike fire in con-
versation and have no explosion. Be
cause you are a Democrat is no reason
why she should not be Republican;
because you are CoDgregationalist is
no reason why she should not be an
EpiscOpalian. Shame on the notion
that wife is only cipher to stand OH
the right side of her husband 80 as to
make unit into ten. A dumb wife is
disgrace to her husband. An inde-
pendent wife is his glory. If she never
differs from you, it is because she is a
serf and you are despot. She ought to
be your best adviser. She ought to be
your most confidential counselor. The
selt-cOnceit of men amounts to genius.
| There are many husbands that would as
soon think of taking advice of theil
wives as of their children. But it is
only the fool who is too wise to seek
Christian Union.

THE WIFE'S PIN-MONEY.-We do not
know if it is possible for man to under
stand a sensitive, high-spirited woman's
reluctance to ask for money, because he
can't put himself in her place. 1t
would require 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 pair CT
shoes. Perhaps he might be able to ap-
proximate to something near her state
of mind if he could recall his abject ter
ror 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 asking my husband
for money next day." Another said :
"If l were absolute mistress of even the
paltry sum of one hundred dollars a
year, so that 1 could spend it without
feeling responsible to anybody, should
feel that's great weight had been lifted
off me-" a wife who does her share oil
work for the family, and by careful
management and contriving adds to the
common fund, is entitled to her share Oi
the profits, and the division should be
Justly and cheerfully made by the head
of the firm, as with any other partner

How TO EsTIOIATE.-If you want to
estimate any ones mental calibre, you
cannot do it better than by observing
the ratio of geueralities to personalities
in his talk; how far simple truths about
individuals are replaced by truths alb
stracted from numerous experiences or
men and things.-Her6ert Spencer.

A brave Girl Shoots q Tramp.

A murderous tramp at Great Falls, N.
H., met more than his match the other
evening in the 20 years old servant girl of
D. B. Dennison. Tramp entered the
house while the family were absent, and
ordered the girl to deliver the money and
valuables on pain of death. She begged
for her life and offered to 60 upstairs and
get the money. This he permitted, but
abe procured Mr.. Dennison's revolver
instead, and when her visitor showed no
inclination to obey her commands TO leave
the house, she fired, and Che ruffian fell.
Two other tramps immediately appeared
and carried OF their groaning comrade,
and no trace Of them has yet been found.

,ULsTERs NOT ABANDONED.

Black or plum-colored English morocco
is preferred to Russia leather for ladies'
travelling bags. They are best when
made "solid"-that is, with square corners
and fixed stiff sides-as the softer bags
allow the contents to be crumpled. They
are lined with blue silk and arranged with
straps for button hooks, bags for bottles,
&c, and fastened by silver clasps Fur
nished bags, fitted up with yellow ivory
boxes and cut glass bottles, with silver
tops, are most luxurious and expensive
articles. Chatelain bags of Russia leather,
or of dark blue or black velvet, are fas-
tened to ladies' belts, and are large enough
to hold the various needed small articles,

The most stylish travelling cloaks are
long, slender garments of sacque shape,
.saching from the throat to the foot, and
aifording ample protection for the dress.
The fronts are double breasted, with two
-sff-.nree rows of buttons, and there are
large, useful pockets. The furnishing
houses make these of de beige or of stiff
wiry camel's hair, either gray or brown,
trimmed with black silk or wool binding
and pearl buttons. Glossy mohair that
turns the dust and is easily cleaned is also
used for these wraps. Some have capes or
hoods, and others have merely deep, square
collars. Some circulars are used because
they are easily put of and on (; but gar
ments with sleeves are preferred, as these
leave the arms more at liberty.

Mellow soil Around Trees.

Unless the surface Of the ground is
mulched around young trees over an
area Of six to ten feet in diameter, the
ground should be kept clean and mel.
low. Every farmer knows that a hill
of corn or potatoes will not amount to
much unless cultivated, and yet there
are nany who will neglect to give the
same care to u tree that is worth a hun
bred hills Of either of the former. In
rich soil trees may grow rapidly without
cultivation, and no amount OF grass or
weeds will retard them but there are
other things besides these to be looked
after. If the weeds and grass are allow
ed to grow up around the stem of apple,
peach, or ounce trees, the bark will be
comesoft near their base by being shaded,
and thereby in u suitable condition for
the reception of the eggs which will
eventually become peach or apple
borers. Take any dozen young apple
trees in sections where the apple
borcr is abundant, and allow a por-
ton to be choked with weeds, and the
remainder well cultivated, and then
watch the result. From our expert
cucc, we believe the chances are nine
