Ripe in Years.
nations.

The Saratogian gives the particulars
of the death of Mrs. Eunice Goodrich,
who died in that place on the 2lst at
the extreme age of Ill years. She was
born on September 2, 1866. She was
not i'll till about 43 hours previous to
her death, and the physician who at
tended her informed her friends that
she did not satfer from any particular
disease, and that she simply died of old
age. Up to the time OF her last illness
she appeared to enjoy her usual excel
lent b ealth; and, with the exception of
a few childish notions, retained her
ment4l faculties to the last. Though
she termerly used spectacles, yet for
the past few years she seemed to have
recovered what might be termed her
second sight, as she was able to thread
a needle or read the finest print without
the artificial aid of glasses.

TungState of Soda.

According to the Boston Journal o.
Chemistry, wood which has been inn
mersed in "pickle" Of solution of
tungstate of soda is thereby rendered
incombustible under ordinary condi.
tons. The tungstate has the effect of
making soft woods hard as well as fire.
proof, and safe from dry rot. Wood
thus treated has been afterward sat
urated with kerosene oil and set on
fire, with the result that the oil burned
OFT without igniting the wood. To test
the efficacy of the solution, a small
house was built of wood subjected to
the tungstate, and an urgent fire kin
died within. The wood was only
slightly charred by the flames. 1t is
said that all the woodwork of theatre
can be thus rendered incombustible at
small expense, and in few weeks
time. "The tungstate is made by the
addition of tungstate of lime to hydro
chloric acid and salt, afording, as q
quantities"

IN EARLY SPRING,

The tiny snow drifts melting fast,
The breath of south wind floating past
The crimson in the maple shoots,
The golden crOcas at the roots
The yellow on the willow wands,
The green of gra1s along the ponds;
The swelling buds, the blue-bird's note,
The dandelion on the moat;
The earthly color of the stream,
Ihe warmer flush of sunrise CLEAN.
The dampness of the upland mould,
The new life in the open world;
The song of bird, the hum of bee,
Inc dawn OF woodside melody;
The brighter glitter on the hills.
Inc rapid rush of little rills;
The morning hoarfrost on the hedge.
The monday drops upon the sedge:
The changing color on the vine,
The fresher hue of mountain pine.
Are things that tell to eye and ear
That summer days are drawing near.

THERE was great CONSERVATION in
a fashionable New York boarding
school a few days ago. Madam had
tied her two solitaires, worth $1,000, in
a handkerchief, and was in tears, for
they were missing. The girls are
daughters OF Americas richest men,
and they couldn't be accused. So,
officers in citizens clothes searched the
house from top to bottom, keeping the
poor girls prisoners. The diamonds
were still missing, but, after choking
themselves sitting hot ashes in the Gel
lar, the jewels, with settings melted,
were found. Madam had dropped the
precious handkerchief into the stove.

LOVES VOYAGE.
BY C. F. CRANCH

AS once sat upon the shore,
There came to me a fairy boat
A bark never saw before,
Whose coming had failed to note,
SO wrapped was in books whose rules learned
by rote.
The stern was fashioned like a heart
The curving sides like Cupid's bow
And from the mast straight as dart.
And winged above and barbed below
pennon like an airy stream of blood did flow
Upon the PROV, on either side,
Was carved snowy Paphian dove:
Between, rejected in the tide
An arch1ng swan neck rose above
To deck, oefspread with broidered tapestries O
Against the mast the idle sail
Flapped like a lace-edged valentine;
1t seemed q canvas all too frail,
Should winds arouse the sleeping brine.
Behold" said, a toy for sport in weather
fine,"
And so STEPPED in idle mood,
Aboard the bark-when suddenly
breeze sprang up, and while stood
Uncertain, thinking was free
To make retreat, the vessel bore me out to sea-
Silent and swift, away from land
It cut the waves. No pilot steered,
No voice of ca plain gave command;
Yet to ard fro il tackled and veered.
All day it few. AT eve distant land appeared
an island in the restless seas,
With rosy cliffs and gold and green
Of dappled fields. and tropic trees
With trailing vines and flowers between
Across the purple waves through amber skies
was seen.
And music floating from sfar
heard, of voice and instrument,
As the sun sank, and star by star
Throbbed in the living armament;
And all kind Fates seemed pledged to cheer
me as went.
Till in deep and shadowy bay
The little argosy, self-furled,
Selfanchored, in the silence lay,
And landed nae upon world
By other stars and moons endiamonded, i'm.
pearled.
A region to my Students hooks
Unknown. where first learned to see
That love is never conned from books
Nor passion taught by fantasy,
But IN the living, loving heart alone can he.
For on that shore 8 maiden stood
Who smiled with coy and baShful glance:
ana when pressed her hand and wOOed,
Turned not her truthful eyes askance
And proved my voyage was no idle sport OF
chance.
Ah, from this island if veer
Into the seas of worldly strife
Give me the boat that brought me here,
Where now the tried and faithful wife
Year after year renews the lovers lease of life!

COrsets and Tea.

Mr. Ed'tor:-Please make Il place
your journal for few thoughts upon
the above topic. 1t IL remarkable
how many of American women and
girls, in eur day, are subjects of I'M
told agony, forbodings, and head
aches. ! have seen cases where the
tortured victims have not been with
out headache for months together
And many of the gentler sex do not
seem to know what havoc these use
less, and injurious articles are
making with their nerves. The chest
should not he compressed with corsets,
as II materially interferes with the ac-
ton Of the lungs, the heart, liver, di-
aphragm, and the stomach-thus
preventing the system from having
the natural and God-given use Of
its vital organs. Who cannot see
the folly OF thus crimping themselves,
20 "a to prevent, especially the heart
and lungs from performing their
proper functions? The blood thu
imperfeotly purified and vitalized,
effects the whole body with conse-
quent languor.
Much damage Is often done by these
life destroying agencies, here ] mean
especially corsetsl before the victim j.
well aware Of it, and often, owing Il
their ignorance or folly or both, womer
| are claimed by the demon, consunpt.
ion, as appropriate sacrifices. Only
think oft! It's said that the cost ofim.
! ported corsets alone amounts annual
| ly to the handsome sum ofsl go, 5s9. lC
for our American woman and girls.
In the language Of another / would
say, The absurdities Of fashionabl,
| girls are too glaring to require expos
ure. All admit the need of reform.
but few have moral courage to breal,
Dame Fashions shackles. TO the
pinionsd, corseted, fettered, dragged
down, tied-back, gasping, dying
daughter Of fashion, who would be
scarcely conscious of living except fol
the aches, pains, nerves, neuralgias
stified signs, palpitatIons and hyster-
les which make up her wretched ex.
istence, what an emancipation is of
fered in dress which clothes the
body equally from head to foot
which allows room for a deep insrir-
/
alton and vigorous heart beat"
But as to tea, as we now have il. in
many instances, it is an unmitigated
swindle; a miserable compound, com
posed of injurious drugs. 1t should be
abandoned, being stimulant, near a
Kin to tobacco. May the day soon
dawn, when, by Gods grace, an en-
lightsned reformation will set in.

The Chicago 7ri5une's Washington

lain Government has reached the last
ditch, and that without the presence
Of the Federal troops the State-House
could not be held an hour, and Hamp-
toms authority would be supreme and
nnquestioned. The case seems to be
hopeless for Chamberlain, who is said
to be far weaker in South Carolina
that Packard in Louisiana, and every
thing points to the probability Of the
early withdrawal Of the military sup
port by which alone Hampton is pre-
vented from taking possession of the

remaining small fraction Of the Cub
ernatorial functions from which he is

The cabinet Of President Hayes
a. announced last week, was confirmed
by the Senate on Saturday almost with
out dissenting vote. There appears
to have been q faction Of Republicans
who at Il rst dreamed Of kicking against
the pricks; and the nominations were
therefore referred to committees and a
little bad-looking delay occasioned.
But Sherman having been already
confirmed, by Saturday the country
had been heard from, and although a
single objection would have laid the
consideration of all the others over
until Monday, there was no Senator
who desired the responsibility OF
making it. This means that President
Hayes Ia to have full and fair oppor-
tunity to prove alike his sincerity and
his wisdom. Any thing less that this,
however 1t might have affected the
country, would have been reproach
and shame TO the Republican party.
