Silent Men.

Binghamton Democrat: Washing
ton never made q speech. In the
zenith OF his fame he olce attempt
ed it, failed, and gave it up, con-
fused and abashed. In framing the
Con stitution of the United States
the labor was almost wholly per-
formed in Committee of the Whole,
Of which George Washington was
Chairman. He spoke twice during
the Convention; but his words were
so few that they could not he
termed speeches. The Convention
acknowledged the master spirit, and
historians affirm that had it not
been for his personal popularity
and the sincerity with which he
spoke the Contribution would have
been rejected by the people.
Thomas jefferson never made a
speech. He couldn't do it. Napo-
leon, whose executive ability was
almost without a parallel, said his
greatest trouble was in finding men
Of deeds rather than words. When
asked how he maintained his influ-
ence over his superiors in age and

Chief of the Army in Italy, he said,

man is not to be measured by the !

Our Young People
MADE UP FROM THE BEST CLIPPINGS.
Forbear to Judge.

How often do we read, or hear, of
ones personal character being at
tackled, aud we find ourselves be-
lieving the SANDER without ever
stopping to think of the social po-
sition and standard of the slanderer.
No matter how insignificant the
man is who ridicules his neighbor,
it will be always stain on the par
~ attacked. The slandered party
may be man If virtue and good
standing in the community, and his
accuser low and unprincipled man !;
but public opinion will decide that
the charge is bold one and is evi
IDENTIFY true. How mean AID low it
is TO speak Ill of another! Often a
mans reputation is attacked be
cause he has attained a high posi-
ton in society, and become infiuen
tial and wealthy among his fellow
beings. Oh, reputation! you are
difficult TO gain, but how easily
lost! And when good name is
lost we are thrown out of society
into the depths of degr ,datiGn, never
perhaps, to raise our heads to the
level of our lost position.
How various are the characters
of the people in this world! Some
are ever ready to lend a helping
hand, while others will dig into the
history of their fellow beings, vain
ly endeavorIng to find their vices,
so that they can go forth and pro
claim them to the world, hoping to
gain favor by it. Investigations of
such a nature should commence at
nome, then this world would be
pure and good
A man with ever SO little judg-
ment and common sense will ever
be prepared to conceal his friends
vices, and instead of exposing hiuI,
will endeavor to raise him higher in
others estimations by speaking OF
his virtues. If you cannot speak
well of your fellow beings never
speak ill of them, because there is
no character so mean, low and un-
as the character of a
slanderer- Therefore, "forbear to

OF Katie Lyle, fair Katie Lyle!
Call from those lips that witching smile,
And hide those clustering curls that chase
Their laughing shadows Ger thy face!
Oh, turn away that dimpled cheek,
Where Love and Mirth play hide and-seek;
Let those soft lashes veil thine eyes.
In which so much of mischief liesl
Yes, hide them ALL will not yield
My heart on an unequal field
| will not risk a conflict in
field where ] can nothing win.
So skilled archer as thou art
Shall make no target of this heart;
1t shall thine arrowy Chances shun
Until know thine may be won.
Then, Katie Lyle, dear Katie Lyle,
must not, DARE not see thee smile,
Nor watch those clustering ringlets chase
Their laughing shadows DER thy face,
dare not let my chances seek
To kiss again thy dimpled check
l dare not face the spell that lies
Within the depths of thy dark eyes!

IT'S not for me to break the seal
Upon thy heart, and wake thee from
That dream wherein loves voice is dumb.

Sometimes q tender thought of me,

With all It's boarded love were thine!
But since dare not hope that thou
Wouldst heed my love or hear my vow
I'll mail my heart in triple steel
Nor fear the shafts will not feel.

No sweets in life but such as rise
From out the heaven of KAtie's eyes.
Look in this heart, o, lying tongueli
Full we'll you know that it hast hune
It's last hope on the loving smile
Or angry frown of Katie Lyle!
'Twere vain, thrice vain to take up arms
Against thy all-subduing charms!
That proud heart never yet was born
With strength to laugh their spell to scorn.
So, Katie Lyle, sweet Katie Lyle,
Thy rose hued lips may wear that smile,

Their laughing shadows DER thy face.

Where love and mirth play hide and-seek;

Statistics.

The records of marriage offer
some curious columns. Statistics
are continually forcing upon our
notice Il fixed percentage of repent
ant old bachelors; also of young
bachelors that marry widows; also,
of Young women that marry Old
men. and OF widows that renew
their vows. while the ratio OF sec
ond, third and fourth marriages Is
very constant.
Indeed, it has most protancly
come to pass that, just a. the stars
are nothing but points of vast TRAN
giles and diagrams 10 cold blooded
astronomer, SO every unmarried
woman stands as an algebralc sym
boil to the eye OF the social mathe-
matIcian; if she is 20 years old, rep
sonting three quarters OF a likeli-
hood that she will change her
name; If %, standing for one quar-
ter OF the same possibility. If 80, re-

by ten; and then decreasing in a

On the contrary, man OF % repre-
seuts the fraction one halt as to the
probabilities of marriage, which is
so vulgar a fraction that most
young men of that period strive ar

the other and better half which re-

Hoops Again!

New York correspondence of the
Chicago Tribune: HooPs-the old
time hoops-have appeared on Fifth
avenue again. IL is quite a com
mon thing now To see the heavy
swell young lady with a balloon
extension bobbing up and down,
and keeping oime with the jaunty
steps of the wearer. A few years
ago there was a hoop mania Hoop
skirt factories scared up all over
New England Many lucky Yam
KEGS got rich making hOOp-skirts;
then the pull back" came, and our
young ladies grew smaller and
smaller, till by and by the hoop
-kirt factories all st, pped and hoops
became obsolete.
When an atrOcious fashion comes,
and you hear all the ladies say
We'll, I'll never wear such a scare
crow as that" you can make up
your mind that they are all going
70 have them within three weeks.
Little Miss Vanderbilt appeared
with Il WOODEN Derby hat, one hot
August day in Saratoga, and in less
than four weeks every young lady
between New York and Omaha had
one. Every hat factory in New
England went to making round
cornered Derby hats, Now that
he same little Miss Vanderbilt has
Teen seen on Fifth avenue in hoop
kirts you may be sure that every
young lady will be wearing an iron
cage before Christmas. Let the

steel. There will be no iron for the

Remedy for Neuralgia.

A friend of ours who suffered sc
we're pains from neuralgia, hearing
of a noted physician in Germany
who invariably cured the disease,
crossed the OF can and visited Ger
many for treatment. He was per
manentiy cured after a short So
journ, and the doctor freely gave
him the simple remedy used, which
was nothing but q poultice and tea
made from our common field this
tie. The leaves are macerated and
used on the part affected as pOul-
tice, while a small quantity of the
leaves are boiled down to the pro
portion of a quart to pint, and a
small wineglass of the decoction
drank before each meal. Our friend
says he has never known it to fail
of relief, while in almost every case
it has effected cure.

Blackberry root good for summer
complaint Dig the green roots,
rejecting those that are large and
woody. Wash thoroughly clean,
and steep in water at the rate of a
quart to half pound of the root,
boil down one-half and then strain
or pour off. Put the liquid in a
bottle with about eighth its
bulk of brandy, whisky or alcohol,
to keep it from souring, and cork
tight. A tablespoonful of tins,

before each meal time. We would

LADIES COLUMN.
HARoLINE HAROLD, EDITOR.
When are Women Lovely?

LONELINESS in women, though it
may vary in its character and man
Ifestations at different periods of
life, is not the property of youth
only. There is a great and undeni
able charm in a fresh beauty Of
eighteen, to which inexperience and
early romance lends, perhaps, addi
tional fascination. A pretty girl of
that age who has been untouched
by care, and who knows of the
"orld through imagination only, IL
a very delightful object; and many
men wish they might take captive
rer first affections. Between eigh
teen and twenty one the changes in
a girl, so far as far as the charms OF
uer person go, are not likely to be
great; but in that time, by longer
Intercourse with society, and by
3atural development, she may get
more companiOnable for men of
maturity, and her carriage and self
control become better and greater.
These are important years in a
B Dung woman's life, the years du
ring which, in our climate, the ma
Jurity of the sex are married. And
, ct, from twenty two, twenty five or
wenty six maiden may, and gen
rally does, still further advance in
and add to the store
of her charms. She is still young,
Tut she has outlived some Of the
outhful iancies, and feels some of
he dignity of womanhood. No
Sc tier ayes tina those in a maiden's
life, and never is she lovelieI. But
Why stop at twenty-s six? What
'airer women are to be found than
many of those between twenty six
and thirty, and even older? Girls
If eighteen may look on them as
Insought old maids, and yet they
IRE in their wOmanly prime, and
LAY capture hearts that have been
teeled against girlish destinations. |
)Itentimes they make the best of
wives, and uen find a solace and |
Ommunionship In their society |
which immaturity cannot give. !
they have the advantage of expert
nee, and have learned the lessons |

World, while still they may not be

A fundamental doctrine of the
Grange is to help the farmer make
money. This it proposes to do, not
by buying and selling in the best
markets only-nor by buying in
quantity and for cash-nor in leav
ing the superauous middleman out
in the cold; but by making him a
better understanding him how
to raise better stock, mere grain.
and at less expense, and to know
the relative values o: products
raised. In short, to instill into him
the same thorOughness of detail in
knowledge and practice that the
successful business man has in his
specially. This is the royal road
to success. How very few farmers
have found it! Slowly but surely
the Order is stimulating this spirit
of inquiry and research.

Waterproofng for Leather.

A good article may be made by
using paraffine melted with the re
quisite quantity of drying oil, and
casting it into suitable blocks for
subsequent use. This being soft
ened by heat, the leather of the
manufactured articles, as shoes and
harness. is coated with it and
placed near a fire, or in a warm
place, until the composition has
been absorbed. When leather has
been impregnated with the mixture,
it is not only perfectly waterproof,
but it Is also rendered softer and
more durable. Shoes retain all
their frmness and natural elasticity
and backing makes upon them a
better polish than before.

A Connecticut farmer estimates
the velue of turnips, as a food for

per busbel. He arrived at these
figures by noting the diminished
yield consequent upon leaving off

not save hay quite as much as was
consumed with as without them,
but the turnips, as also shown by
