Aged Beauties.

History is full Of the accounts of the
fascination of women who were no
longer young. Thus Helen of Troy was
over forty when she perpetrated the
most famous elOpement on record; and
as the siege of Troy lasted q decade,
she could not be very juvenile when the
i~ll-fortune of Paris restored her to her
husband, who is reported to have re-
ceived h,r with unquestionong love and
gratitude. Pericles welded the courte-
san Aspasia when she was thirty-six,
and yet she afterward, for thirty years
or more, welded an undiminished repu-
tation for beauty. Cleopatra was past
thirty when Antony fell under her
spell, which never lessened until her
death, nearly ten years after; and
Livia was thirty-three when she won
the heart of Augustus, ove1 whom she
m aintained her ascendsncy to the last.
Turning to more modern history,
where it is possible to verify.dates more

De Poictiers, who was thirty-six when
Henry II-then Duke of Orleans, and
just half her age-became attached to
her; and she was held as the first lady
and most beautiful woman at court up
to the period Of the monarchis death
and the accession of Catherine Of Ne
dicis. Anne Of Austria was thirty
eight when she was described as the
handsomest Queen Of Europe, and
when buckingham and Richelieu were
her jealous admirers. Nino1, the most
celebrated wit and beauty Of her day,
was the. idol Of three generations of
the golden youth Of France, and she
was seventy-two when the Able de
Berais fell in love with her. True it ID
that in the caseof this lady, . rare COM
bination of culture, talents and per-
sonal attractions endowed their posses
sor seemingly with the gifts Of eternal
youth.
Bianco Capello was th~irty-eight when
the Grand Duke Francisco Of Florence
fell captive to her charms and made
her his wife. though he was five years
her junior. Louis XIV welded Madam
de Maintenon when she vas forty-three
years of age. Catharine II Of Russia
was thirty-three when she seized the
Empire of Russia and captivsted the
dashing Gen. Ori06. Up to the timeof
her death ct sixty-seven-she seemedto
have retained the same bewitching
powers, for the lamentations were
heartfelt among all those Who bad
known her personally. Mdle Mana the
celebrated French tIagedinne. only as-
tanned the zenith of her beauty and
power between forty and folty-6va At
that period the loveliness Of her hands
and arms especially, was celebrated
throughout Europe. The famous Mad

/ was about to explain TO her that.
though on general principles, the idea
Of loving two girls at once wss absurd,
yet this was q peculiar case in which
the rules governing all other things
terrestrial would not apply. But, To-
hecting how utterly useless 1t would
be to attempt any such an explanation.
] merely said:
Il admit Mrs. Bradley. that the idea
Of loving two girls at once ID absurd.
And now that I see your two girls to
gether l have no hesitancy in deciding
which one I do really and truly love"
(Of course this wasn't exactly the
truth, but / defy any man to place his
hand on q Bible and solemnly swear. or
affirm, that he would not tell such Q 6b
to get out Of such q scrape.)
The old lady cast at me a look Of in.

For reply l cast my eyes in the direc.
ton of the girl with the blue eyes; and
the old lady turned to Jane, saying:

l am not going to tell what passed
between Mary and me after Jane and
her mother withdrew. I will say, how
ever, that the interview was brief
very brief in fact-and the reader can
draw his own inference.
Only the other day Briggs told me
that his wife told him that Mrs. Brad.
Icy said that her daughter, Jane, was
growing thinner and paler every day.
Stuff and nonsense! They would all
be glad if Jane could have a chance to
mitten me, too. As though l hadn't

better to us than We are to ourselves.
A few days after penning the above l
concluded to 60 around by the Bradley
mansion. l had no intention of calling
at the house, but only q curiosity to see
how the old place looked. As chance
would have it l did call, however, for
seeing Jane nea the house she spoke to
me and invited me in.
Since then l have called q good many
times, and have no difficulty in telling
which is which.
From Jane l have learned that there
was no plot or deep laid scheme to hui
initiate me. At least, this is her opin.
ion, but to tell the truth, l care very
little now, whether there Vas a plot OF
not. since the final victory is assured.

DEATHS.

DEPARTED THIS LIFE, on Monday evening,
the 10Th inst, 10 her 46tA year, Mrs. MARTHA
J. MULLlOAN, the wife of VIM. Mullican, of
Darnesiown.
For more than twenty years she had been a
most exemplary member of the Presby terian
church. of that place, was at all times most
earnestly devoted to the duties of religion.
How touchingly and consistently did she
exemplify in her every day life her simple
faith in Christ, and at last yielded her spirit
in the full triumph Of faith over death and the
grave. In all the relations Of life she was
faithful, gentle, con6ding and sincere Warm
ly Rffeclionate as a wife and mother her
heart was full of human sympathy which MAS
ever ready to give tear TO the distressed or a
smile to the happy, and so tempered and
directed by religion as to make her society a
blessing and the want Of it an nfflieliou.-
While an extensive circle of friends must seek
in vain TO fathom the inscrutable ways Of
Providence in breaking this link of affection,
yet all must bow in humble submission to the
stroke that releases from decaying mortality a
spirit so fully prepared TO take its place around
the throne of its Redeemer.

Fair and good and pure as she,

OUR NATIVE 0FTYCESEERE Frs.

last week q delegation OF Montgomery
county Republicans visited President Hayes
for the purpose Of paying their respects. Our
special reporter put on his 'invisibls cap"
and repaired to the scene of ceremonies. The
following is his report of the proceedings;
About eleven O'Clock | looked from the
window and beheld the Montgomery county
Republicans walking with stately demeanor
up the pavement, their red blankets wrapped
closely around them aud their plumes of
gorgeous feathers waving In the air. They
Aled into the presidential presence and one
Of them stepped majesticaly forward and
said
ugh great chief Of the Pale Facos, we
come from the forests Of Montgomery to pay our
repects TO tho great chief. Yonder river flows
along our borders and its waves have Aoated
our canoes TO yeur city. We have come TO
our whoops, that we have waved the bloody
shirt without ceasing, and had the great chief
Madison Wells been our leader the scalp Of
Walsh would now be dangling at our belt, as
the scalp Of Tildsn is dangling q, yours. We
have said our say, ugh"
All present seemed to be impressed with the
solonlnity of the scene, aud the President
scarcely able 10 control his emotion, said
"Great chief OF the redskins, | thank you
for this visit The cup Of my happiness is now
filed; knew you would come and have longed
for your coming. In my Western home !

that you always come within few votes Of

bravery in the service OF our cause. Yes,
with noble heroism you would guide our
troops to the enemy's line, and then without
staying a moment to rest would rush back to
guide new columns. And whenever our ma
iional capital was threatened, with a chival-
rous devotion, yon would rush to Washington
TO defend the Notifications. The country
recognises your services and you shall all have
an Office"
ugh good !" exclaimed the redskins.
"Wheu you return TO your forests tell your
black-skinned brothers that sorrow for them,
and when speak Of them my signs are like
the moaning Of the pines. ! sorrow for them
the more because the term OF your Court is
approaching and many of them will be i'm
INJURED in the dungeon cells Of the peni,entisry.
Toll them that II my plans are executed that
their cases will hereafter be referred to the
electoral commission. Tell them this specially

their departure.
Any Republicans feeling themselves ggrieved
by this unvarnished report will please send
stamp with request for apology and they shall
be satisfied Immediately.
