HOW A WOMAN HURRIES.

Have you ever waited for q woman
to get ready to go somewhere? OF
course you have, and will be Interest,"
ed in what follows, written by Kate
Thorn. The hour is half-past three.
Maria is not ready. At four she will
be down in just one moment but ev-
en- at this hour if you could look into
Maria's chamber you would be in des-
pair. Her scrimps' are not taken down
her boots unbuttoned, her pull-back's
elastic cords are out of gear. and the
the maid is fixing them she can't find
her bracelets, one cuff pin is missing !;
she puts her arnica on her handker-
chief by mistake. thinking it is jockey
club. There is button off her bas-
que from hurried buttoning; and oh,
dear! dear! where are her lemon kids
and her lace scarf, and that coral neck
chain, and shawl, and white lace
vail, and dozen other necessary arti-
cles? She has hurried SO that her face
is all ablaze, and she is sure she looks
like a washerwoman, and she seizes
the powder puff and dabs little chalk
on her forehead, and hopes it won't
be seen. as she is going out to ride with
a man and not with woman. All
unconscious of the trials which beset
your charming Maria, you are striving
to do the agreeable to Mrs. B., with
the sound of your horses paving up
that sidewalk in your ears, and you
know the old gentleman is particular
about his grounds, and directly you
hear something snap, and rush out to
find that one of your spirited nags has
broken off fence picket, and is try
ing his best on another by way dessert.
Will she ever get ready2 You con.
suit your watch. Five o'clock! You
feel inclined to swear a little, but piety
forbids, and you try to possess your
soul in patience. The door opens
She comes, radiant and smiling, in the
loveliest of new costumes, pinned
back as tight that she creeps toward
you like snail and you mentally won
der how she is ever going to step
high enough to get into the carriage !;
and her hat is SO becoming, and her
black lace scarf increases the white
ness of her neck so much, and she
tells you SO sweetly, that you feel in
finitely obliged to her for doing it.,
and feel for the moment as if the
highest and most supreme delight of
existence could be found only in wait
ing for her to get ready

A SCOTHMAN,S PRAYER.

What do you think of this for q
prayer at family worship2 Adam Scott
gives the following as q prayer once
offered by shepherd, ,and grandmoth-
er has herself heard prayers almost az
plain in their comments on the people
around, from the lips of Scotch and
Scotch-Irish folks:
We particularly thank Thee for
Thy great goodness to Meg; and that
it ever came into thy head to take any
thocht of sic useless girl as her. For
he sake o. thy puir sinfu' creatures
now addressing Thee, in their ane
shilly-shally way and for the sake o.
mair than we dauer weel name to
thee, hae mercy on our Rab. Ye ken,
he's a wild, mischievous Gallant, and
thinks nae mair O. committing sin than
a dog O. lickin' a dish. But put thy
hook into his nose, and thy bride in
til his muth, and gar him come back
to thee wi a jerk that he'll no. forget
the longest day he has to live. Dinna
forget puir Jamie. who's far away
frae US the NIGHT. Keep thy arm o.
power aboot him, and wish ye wad
endow him WI little spunk to ach
for himself; for if ye dinna, he'll be
but bauchie j. this warld, and q back
sitter i the next. Thou hast added
yen to our family Zone of his sons had
just married against his approbation).
So has been thy wull. 1t wad never
ha' been mine. But if it is o. thee, do
thou bless the connection. But, If the
fule hath done it out O. carnal desire,
against a. reason and credit, may the
cauld rain o. adversely settle in his
habitation. Amen -[Christian at

A BITTER DosE-The euinine monop-
oily was knocked endways by the sudden
removal of the protective duty, and the
blow is the more staggering because the
duty on barks and everything entering
into the manufacture remains the same.
QuinIne was Il specially with Powers &
Weightman, the senior partner Of which
firm died year ago, the richest man in the
city Its manufacture is extensively
carried on in Paris, Stratford, England,
and in Frankfort, but there is not a
factory in the world to compare with that
of Powers IL Wei9htman at the Falls of
the Schuyik;ll, which covers ten acres,
besids7 a laboratory 1870 feet by 800,
ncarel the center of the city. Farr,
founder OF the house, was the first to
introduce the drug into the country, sixty
years ago. Only three years after Farr
founded the house of Powers & Weight
man, the house of Rnsengarten & Son
was started, which now owns manufac-
tory covering whole square, and pro-
duces the finer chemicals, especially sui
pilates of quinia and other alkaloids Of
clnchona bark These two houses are
almost the only manufacturers Of qIinine
III the country. Powers & Weightman
have considerably increased their profits
by the purchase of the right TO use the
dry process A million and a quarter of
ounces are sold every year for an average
of 81 40, protection being worth from 80
to 20 cents an ouEce, the duty being 20
,,,, ,n,t E,rr p, 1,v
pendent that tn firm would give up the
manufacture The retailer sold it at
3 cents a gran. making 80 80 an ounce
profit on real quiula, and S11 20 when
palmng off cinchona on the purchaser.
The foreign article WAS far inferior to that
Of domestic manufacture, and was never
used 10y the profession on account OF im-
purities. The only result of making 1t
free, of duty w,:uld be drive them out of
the manufacture, without doing the retail
customer aHy good, for the druggists
would not reduce the price at all. They
would have 10 stop, because thy had to
pay ten per cent on the bark, 81 per gal
Ion on the sus ut used lii the n,annfac-
ture, and 200 peh eent On alcohol, all Of
which foreign manufa ,turors had free. 1t
wuuld take them SIX weeks to wO:k Ep
what they had on hand. and then they
should discharge eighty men. Last year
they imported 50, 100000 pounds Of bark.
and they gave orders a once to stop all
,,urchases. Tie influence for the change
came from the south, which had compar-
ativcly li:tle interest, as her trade was
small and of no consequence, the greater
amounts being sold in the north and
west.
