To YOUNG MEN oN..MARRIAGE.-The
true girl has to be sought out. She does
not parade herself as show goods. She
is not fashionable. Generally she is not
rich. .:But, oh, what a heart she has when
you find her-ao large. SO pure, so wo-
manly. IF you gain her love, your two
Thousand are million. She will not ask
you for carriage or first-class house.
She will wear simple dresses, and will
turn them, when necessary, with no vul-
gar nadgnjicat to frown upon her econo-
my. She will keep everything neat and
nice in your sky parlor, and give you
such welcome when you return home
at night. that you will think your parlor
higher than ever. She will entertain
true friends on dollar, and will astonish
you with the new thought, how very lit
tie happiness depends on money. She
will make you love home if you don't
you are a brute), and teach you how to
pity, while you scorp a poor fashionable
society which THINKS itself rich, and
vainlY tries to think itself happy. Now,
do not, pray you, say any more, 81
cannot afford to marry" Go, find the
true woman and you can. Throw away
the cigar, burn up that swith cane be
sensible yourself, and seek your wife in
sensible way"

While the dew sparkles bright upon the

And the matin calls the fairies, one by one,
To their hauntsam the fields of golden corn,
An ideal thou must be of the poets mystic
dream,
When he saw upon the summit high of fame
being clad in beauteous rainbow sheen,
Who wrote upon the column the letters of his

SYSTEM IN IsH-WAsHING.-We
have yet to hear woman say she liked
dish-washing. 1t is, indeed, tedious
task, and the following items, condens-
ed from the July Wide-Awake, will be
read with interest by those who desire
to render the process less irksome and
are willing to take trouble to do SO:
Keep the outside of the plates clean by
removing all crumbs and scraps before
packing them. The dish-washing of
some house-keepers must be very dis
agreeable and tedious, owing to their
non.observance ofthis precaution. Stack
the table-dlshes in another, Immediate
ly pouring hot water through them all.
1t is always the quickest way to let them
stand thus mOment-it saves deal of
scraping and rubbing
Make your suds but barely warm,
since the dishes are all hot from the
soaking water, and all greasy particles
dissolved and gone. There is never any
need OF lmmersing the entire hand and
wrist in scalding dish-water for an hour
or two at time, soaking, reddening
and chappening it beyond all recovery.
Puncture one corner of the dish-cloth
with fork, and winding the things up.
IN it, like cocoon, wash the dishes with
it, wetting the hand but momentarily
during the whole operation.
After pouring on the.rinsing water
which have very hot-remove them, in
stacks, to another pot, and place them
on their edges about some tall dish to
drain or dry. Rinse and drain forks
and spoons by themselves in a pitcher.
Wiring your dish.clo as little and
lightly as possible. This will keep it
soft, and soft dishcloth makes dish
washing twice as easy. Keep it sweet
by rinsing thoroughly at the last.
Hundreds of soft white hands are not
only hardened and spread, but grow up
fairly distorted, from useless wringing
and squeezing of the dishcloth.
Toilette soap is also recommended, and
by following the above, can be made to
oqtlast bar ofyellow soap.-RuralN Nea0
Yor2er.

POINTS OF ETIQUETTE.-Don't fidget
with the hands or feet. Let alone the
watch chain and necktie. Quiet ease,
without stiffness, indicates gentle breed
ing.
Don't speak of persons, with whom
you are only slightly acquainted, by
their first name.
It is unladylike to stand with the
hands on the hips or the arms folded.
Irritability is a breach of good morals
as well as good manners. Gentle cour-
tesy we owe to all.
Be phnctual: 1t is always annoying
to be kept waiting and often a serious
detriment to ones business.
Answer a civil question pleasantly
and kindly, even if you are in hurry.
Jokes are dangerous things. to be
used, liked gunpowder, with extreme
caution.

ABOUT FoOLsCAP.-Everybody knows
what foolscap is. 1t is writing paper of
the dimensions of 16 by Is inches. But
it is doubtful whether ten in hundred
of those who use it can tell why it was
so called. Oliver Cromwell vanquished
Charles ], and was declared Protector
of England, ruler something like the
President of the United States. He
caused the picture of the Cap of Liberty
to be stamped on the paper used by the
government. After his death Charles
II, son of Charles I, was restored to the
throne in consequence of Cromwell's
son being unfit to govern the country.
One day he sent for paper to write on,
and some of this government paper was
brought to him. Looking at the stamp
OF the cap on it, he inquired the mean
ing of it, and when told, said in a con.
temptuous tone, "Take tt away; I'll
have nothing to DO with a FOOLS cap
Hence paper of the size above men
toned was called foolscap.-New Yorh;

POET r v


SUNSET.
A PICTURE.
See! a sea of gold and purple
Just above the heath-crowned hills,
Where the rays of rosy sunlight
Creep to kiss the sparkling rills.
Then a tinted cloud is floating,
Tinted by the bright sea waves,
Higher still q cloud is lowering.
Whose black edge no gold light layes.
And, methinks. the gold and purple
Canvassed, is the Infants Life,
With its warbling. sparkling waters,
Wholly free from storms and strife.
Waves so smooth and thoughts so trusting
Breakers never toss the barque
With so pure, SO bIithe burden;
Night draws not her curtain dark.
Next, the tinted cloud is Youth.
With his fervent dreams of fame,
With his lofty aspirations,
Confident to win "a name.''
How the soft breeze waves the banner
Wide unfurled and borne along,
With the words in blazoned letters,
"HIGHER STILL AND SHUN THE WRONG
But the cloud that lowers darkly,
No bright rays to kiss the gloom,
Represents, as truly, Manhood,
Hopes of youth no more will bloom.
All the dreams of fame have vanished,
Gilded joys are blackened Ger;
In the dust his banner trailing,
While the motto flames no more.
Last, the rays that steal so softly,
Down the dark blue hills, to earth,
Are the waves that gently murmur
In the Eternal Oceans girth.
Laughing waves that on their bosom
Rock Old Ages barque of flowers,
Bearing to the Port of Heaven,
Where no angry storm cloud lowers.
HOPE CLOUDE.

--WAITING long, thro' darken'd hours,
For the twilight's cheering ray,
Till the echoing morn reminds us
That the mists have rolFd away;
That the shades, which brooded DER us
Thro' the nether-gloom of night,
Floating down the vale before us,
Soon will melt in ether-light.
Waiting, till the chilling Winter
Dark reflected type Of doubt
Has resign'd his ruling scepter,
And the sun of Hope beams OUT
Fill the sonl-refreshing showers,
Borne from genial fields of cloud,
Haye restored the long-lost flowers,
That were yrapt Ia leethai shroE!d:
Waiting, till the light-wing'd swallows
Greet US, from their Southern home,
And dispel the thoughts that tempted
Kindred hearts apart to roam;
Then may vilest croakers mutter
What their virose hearts may choose,
But, the cruel words they utter
Shall be purgea with heavenly aews.
Wqiti,ag, till the magic cycla
OF the fieeting years goes round,
Till the swaying index points rs
To inc goal Where bliss is found
Where, the lengthen'd vista ended,
Opens up the cloudless sky
: Then our lives, thus nobly blended,
Can the sund'ring storm defy!

w Hal T "SOME HUSBANDS" Do
Some husbands never leave home in the
morning without kissing their wives
and bidding them ''good-by, dear" in
the tones of unwearied love; and wheth-
er 1t be policy or fact, it has all the effect
OF fact. and those homes are generally
pleasant ones, provided always that the
wives are appreoiative, and welcome the
discipline in kindly spirit. We know
an old gentleman who lived with his
wife over fifty years, and never left
home without the kiss and the 'good-
bye, dear" Some husbands shake
hands with their wives and hurry off as
fast ss possible, as though the effort were
something that they were anxious to
forget, holding their heads down and
darting round the first corner. Some
husbands will leave home without saw
Ing anything at all but thinking good
deal, as evinced by their turning round
at tha last point of observation and wav-
Ing an adieu at the pleasant face OF faces
at the window. Some husbands never
say a word, rising from the breakfast
table With she lofty Indifference of a lord,
and going out with heartless disregard
for those left behind. 1t is fortunate
thing for their wives that they can find
sympathy elsewhere. Some husbands
never leave home without some unkind
word or look, apparently thinking suoh
aoourse will keep things straight in their
absence. Then, on returning, some
husbands come home pleasant and hap
py, unsecured by the world some sulky
and sufiy with its Disappointment
Some husbands bring honle a n newspaper
or book, and bury themselves for the
evening in Its contents. Some husbands
are called away every evening by busi-
ness or social engagements some doze
in speecEiess stupidity on a sofa until
bedtime. Some husbands are curious to
learn of their wives what has transpired
through the day, others are attracted by
nothing short ola child's tumbling down
stairs OF the house taking fire.

THE INFLUENCE OF NEWSPAPERS
1t is almost impossible to estimate the
advantage to be derived from reading
newspapers. A great many business
men do net think itWorth while to take
q newspaper at home. They take pa
pefs and read them, but do not think it
worth while to keep their families in
formed of what is passing in the world
around them.
Without exception those scholars of
all sexes and al ages, who have access
to newspapers at home, when compared
with those who have not, arc better
readers; they excel il pronunciation,
and consequntly read more understand
inglY. Tney are better spoilers, and de-
me words with ease and accuracy
They obtain partial knowledge in
geography in almost half the time it
requires others, as the newspaper has
made them familiar with the location
of important places and nations, their
governments and doings. They are
better grammarians, for having become
familiar with the Location of important
places and nations, their governments
and doings. They are better gram
marians, for having become familiar
with every variety Of style in the news
paper, from common place advertise
ments to the finished and classical ora
ton of the statesman, they more readily
comprehend the meaning of the text,
and consequently analyze its construc-
tion with accuracy. They write better
composition, using better language, con-
tanning more thoughts, and still more
clearly expressed.
From these simple facts three impor-
tant things can be deduced, viz: The
responsibility of the press in supplying
literature which shall be understand
ingly expressed; the absolute necessity
of personal supervision Of a child's
reading by his parents; having once
obtained good able paper, no matter
what the price, don't begrudg ge it hear-
ty support.

This has gone into history, with so many
other illusions that are historical. Lee
was of slow, conservative, cautious
nature, without Imagination or humor,
always the same, with grave dignity. I
never could see in his achievements
what justifies his reputation. The illu-
sion that nothing but heavy odds beat
him will not stand the ultimate light of
history. I know it is not true.
"The South and North were more
nearly matched than you would suppose.
The whole population were in the war.
The 4,00O, 900 of negroes were the same
as soldiers, because they did the work
in the fields which white men would
have had to do. / believe the South had
as many men under arms as the North.
What defeated the southern armies was
northern courage and skill, and this, too
with detraction all around. You cannot
imagine how dishearteningit was at the
time, not only to officers, but men.
THE BATTLE OF SHILOH.
''Take the battle of Shiloh, for in
stance" continued the General, "the
and papers at the time
all said that Shiloh was surprise-that
our men were killed over the coffee, and
so on. There was no surprise about it,
except" said the general, witha smile,
perhaps to the newspaper correspon-
dents. We had been skirmishing for
two days before we were attacked. AT
night, before BuelPs army came I'D, I
was SO well satisfied with the result and
so certain that would beat Beauregard.
even without Buell's aid, that 1 went in
person to each division commander and
ordered an advance along the line at 4
in the morning. Shiloh was one of the
most important battles in the war. 1t
was there that our western soldiers met
the enemy in pitchod battle. From
that day they never feared to fight the
enemy and never went into an action
feeling sure they would win
Shiloh broke the prestige of the South
srn Confederacy so far as our western
army was concerned. Sherman was the |
hero of Shiloh"

BY VIM. W. LONG.
Where the low winds softly whisper,
And the willows gently wave,
In glen beside the Ohio,
Stands green and grassy grave.
Wild birds trill their sweetest music,
Der the sleeper resting there;
And the flowers bloom in beauty,
Round about that spot so fair.
And the Ohio gently murmurs,
AS it wanders softly by,
Bearing on Its placid bosom,
Tints caught from the Summer sky.
Rest in peace, oh f! gentle sleeper,
For thy work on earth is DER;
And beside the Ohio's, waters,
We will wander nevermore.
