Woman's Restlessness and Dis
content.
(Albany Times }

lih0>.l
1t is highly improbable that such
an individual as u perfectly satis-
fled, cOntented woman exists. If
there be one whose position in So
ciety and general surroundings are
entirely in accord with her ambi-
tion and desires, the happy crea :
ture has not yet been discovered,
and her pleasing and beneficial ex.
ample has been lost upon her dis.
contented sisters. In whatever
condition Of circu instances she
may be placed, there is something
invariably beyond her reach that
is essential to her happiness. This
condition of affairs has existed
throughout all time. We are told
that the Garden of Eden possessed
every possible condition requisite
for the complete comfort and hap
piness of its occupants. There is no
doubt that their condition was in
finitely better than that of any
inhabitants of this mundane
sphere to-day, and that they should
have been supremely happy and
contentcd. But whether it was
from the lack of dressmakers or
other causes which history does
not record, our fair mother Eve
would not rest satisfied, but must
needs seek for something more.
Thus it has been ever since, and
the constant, restless striving after
objects which she does not possess,
has been the cause of much Of
woman's unhappiness.

The feWncss Of Women's Wants.
(Nor.istown Hei ADJ


Mary Dean, in Lippincotps Mao-
dzine, says "women make a sue.
cess of business ventures when
they undertake any, because they
are cautious, fond of accumulating
and have inexpensive habits.
Women are rich in the fewness of
their wants" Oh, to be sure-cer-
tainly-of course. All she wants
when the spring-time comes, gen.
tie Mary, is a two-dollar bonnet,
with eight dollars worth of flowers
and feathers stuck on it, and
twenty-five dollar prinCesse dress,
with ruffies three rows deep, and
garnished with ten dollars worth
of fly fringe, and an evening dress
with eleven feet of train and a
beaded sacque, and pongee trav-
cling dress, and lace handkerchief,
and seven-button kid gloves, and
clocked stockings, and her arms
full of bangles, and a few other tri-
fes of dress. That is all. "a man,
Mary says, "must have cigars,
newspapers, and thousand
other things women do not want.n
True again. A man-the "averageo
man, that is-must have his cup at
tue barber shop, plug tobacco, and
and a pistol pocket, and-and-
and blame If We can think of the
other nine hundred and ninety
seven things a woman doesn't want
that a man does. All, yes; we re-
call one other thing. He must
have u wife, and pretty often she is
moro expensive than all the other
nine hundred and ninety-nine
combined. Now, who ever heard
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-08-01


Of q woman wanting a cup at the
barbers, or pistol pocket, or a
wife? Again: "a man cannot take
out his old linen suits in the
Spring and rip them, make them
over, and do them up him -eIf''
Well, probably he can't; for the
chances are that his wife traded
them off in the Fall for plaster.of-
Paris dogs, deformed angels, apd
such. "Women," she continues,
"read not the Times, but the Eter-
nlt:ei." The "Eternities" Is q new
name for the novels of Ouida, Mrs.
Southworth and Augusta J. Evans,
which some women are eternally
reading. But, after all, woman is
agreat and glorious institution,
and if she had never been born,
man would have TO invent button.

FRUIT TREES.

Bro. Basford:
The NEWS of March 9Th. had an article
on Remarkable and historic trecs'' in
which ! was interested. Some of them
are old acquaintance of mine, and | can
tell your readers more about them. They
are Ceylon trees, and Ceylon is the place
for Il good many wonderful things. First
you mention the bread-fruit, The bread
fruit is found in Ceylon, but | think not
in its perfection. The Islands of the Pa
cific Ocean have, | think, superior vari-
ETY. of it, and it furnishes the food of the
natives of many of those islands. 1t is
cultivated in Ccylon, but rarely, think.
1t is a wonderful tree. | think it ought
to be called great fig, though botanists
call 1t by different name. But if | am
not mistaken the blossom, and fruit and
leaf are like the fig. Iwonder how many
of your readers have any idea of what a
zig is. Perhaps there is not boy in the
region who has not paid his cent at the
store and bought what he supposed was a
single fruit of the fig tree. But instead
| of one he bought, perhaps, thousand
fruits for that one cent. Each of those
seeds in what he calls fig, was a fruit.
If he had taken it when it was green. and
torn open the bag. or shuck that held them
he would have found inside little flower
for every one of those seeds. That bag is
no more the fruit of the fig than the beech

it is cooked, as | have eaten it, think it

rather like dry dough. Still it is good
food with other things. but should not

coVERNoRSHIP.

The Brandon Union re-opens the
Governor question as follows:
II must be admitted that "the COM
ing man" will be taken from the ''west
side" of the State. The custom of
changing from one side to the other
has become too well established, and
the aspirants from the "west side" are
too numerous, for any contrary course
to be adopted now.
1t is an honorable ambition TO de-
sire public recognition b. the town or
state, because of deserving merits, but
in our enumeration we shall mention
all whose names have yet been consid-
cred, whether they desire the office or
not. First in the north part of state
is Hon. Jed p. Ladd, of Alburgh, the
the present State Auditor, who is gen
orally conceded to have aspirations in
a different directiCa, although he would
ably and acceptably fill the Office, and
probably does not desire to en-
ter the list at present. Hon. Brad
ley Barlow, of st. Adams, wants to
be a Congressman and with Butler,
Cox and Hewitt stand, but would take
anything. We shall be mistaken if he
receive either honor. We understand
that Hon. II. $. Taft, of Burlington,
another able man, is not q candidate
for this election. Judge Pierpoint, OF
Vergennes, we understand positively
declines the honor, and the proposed
befitence with the Governorship, fol-
which Judge Peck's case is a preced-
ent, should not be adopted, as it would
occasionally andperhaps generally give
US poor Governors. If a man gets
too old to be a good Judge he is too
old for keen executive officer. Col.
Geo. A. Merrill, q prominent and
worthy citizen of Rutland, has been
mentioned without his consent, and by
men whom he does not feel proud OF
as friends" Hon. T. W. Park, OF
Bennington, q standing candidate OF
past years, who has long been patient
~ waiting for a chance, is united to
southwestern Vermont in too strong
''bonds" of affection to be considered
now. Col. Redfeld Proctor, of Rut-
land, n man of good character and
ability, with a voice which can be
heard all over the state, has been the
most mentioned" of all, but we fear
his friends have made the fatal mistake
of blowing his trumpet too long and
too loud in the early part of the can
vass. The list of "dead ducks" on
the political shelf comprises the names
of many victims of bad political man.
agement.
Nevertheless, moreover, notwith.
standing, Col. Proctor will doubtless
be the next Gov. of Vermont.
