Woman Eyeing Woman.

The cycling of woman by woman is one OF
the most offensive manifestations OF super
ciliousness now to be met with in society.
Few obseryant persons can have failed to
notice the manner in which one woman who
is not perfectly well-bred will eye another
woman whom she thinks is not in such good
society. and, above all, not at the time in so
costly dress as she herself is in. 1t is done
eyerywhere-at parties, at church, in the
street, 1t is done by woman in all condi-
tions Of life. The very servant girls learn it
az their mistresses. tits done in an instant.
Who can recall hundreds of instances OF
that sweep of the eye which takes in at
Glance the whole woman and what she has
nm. from top-knot to shoe-tie? Men are
never guilty OF it, or, with such extreme rar-
itv. and then in such feeble and small-soul-
ell specimens of their sex, that lt'may be set
as sin not masculine, or at least epicene.
Rnt; woman of sense, OF some breeding, and
even of some kindness OF nature, will thus
endeavor to assert q superiority upon the
meanest of all pretenses and inf1ict wound

to every generous hearted man who observes
their manoeuvers, they would give up tri-

&c obtained at such sacrifice on their part.
No other evidence than this cycling Is need

The Pitiahle Result.

The New York Times pointedly sums up
the boastful demands of the Democracy in
Congress, as formulated in Senator Beck's
speech, to starve the government by refusing
all appropriations for its support, or have
the political legislation they proposed enact
ed. The Times says:
Mr.. Lincoln's importunate visitor, who
began with demand for ii foreign mission
and ended with an entreaty for a cast-off
coat, must have been in tie minds Of the
Democratic statesmen who conceived the
idea OF making war upon a Republican En-
ecutive. They started with determination
to get something. At first their expectations
were large nothing less than an uncondi-
tional surrender on the part of the President.
When they discovered that he could not be
coaxed or frightened into compliance with
their wishes, they changed their programme
and asked for less. An intention to coerce
was dsavowed revolution they never con-
templated; they wanted only that which the
President could conveniently grant. Still
he said nay. Then they became yet more
modest. They had been misunderstood, they
told, and would be satisfied with very little
But the little they sought was not in the line
of his duty. He refused to regard the aban-
donmenG OF one set of pretensions which
Gney IOunu themselves unable to enforce, as
a reason for the recognition of others, not in
harmony with public interests. Now they
have got down to the level OF the old coat.
No longer exacting or particular, they pray
for appearances sake that he will let them
have something to carry to their constituents
as proof that the extra session has not been
altogether in vain. Such in brief, is the de-
velopment of the Democratic policy 1t
pointed at the outset, to the stoppage of the
Government if the Democratic demands were
not acceded to. 1t indicates, at the end, an
anxiety to escape from dilemma that once
meant something serious and that is now
merely ridiculous. The great Democratic
party does not like the prospect of leaving
Washington empty-handed and laughed at
into the bargain. Yielding to necessity, it
has appropriated the many millions which
in March last IL refused to provide. Its sole
concern is to keep. back 5000, 900, just to
show that it has not yielded everything.
Natural as it is, the anxiety will be ineffec-
tIial. All the old coats in the Government
stores would not enable the Congressional
majority to hide their degradation or to avert
the derision which their descent from the
bold to the contemplate will everywhere call
forth.

Lying Abed.
THE FOLLY OF THE .'EARLY BIRD" THE


| THE FOLLY OF THE ''EARLY Bird THE
A writer in London Society says: Let us
analyze this lying In bed little further
| maintain that, in the mere fact of lying in
bed, there is something healthy and recu-
perative to the system. The wheels of life
are oiled and eased. Tie proper and legit-
innate purpose of lying in bed is 10 20 to
sleep. There is nothing like sleep. The
| more sleep the brain gets the better does
the brain work. All great brain workers
have been great sleepers. Sir Walter Scott
could never do with less than ten hotlrs. A
fool may want eight hours, as George Ill
said, but a philosopher wants nine. The
men who have been the greatest generals
are men who could sleep at will. Thus it
was with Wellington and Napoleon. The
greatest speakers in the House of Commons
have been the men who can go to sleep
there as much as they like. This explained
the luvenilIty OF the aged Palmerston.-
There is a man who has been Attorney
General, whom have seen bury his face in
his hands over his desk and sleep soundly
until his own cause should come on.
''Sleep,' says the Greek proverb, sis the
medicine for every disease. Ii he sleep he
will do well.'' A friend told me that be
treated himself for a fever. lie went to
bed with large pitcher of lemonade by his
side. He drank and slept, slept and drank
till he drank and slept himself we'll again.
When your take to your bed get all the sleep
you can out ofyuur bedstead, even although,
to quote Dick Sweviller's saying, you have to
pay for a double bedded room, confessing
that you have taken q most, unreasonable
amount of sleep out of a single bed. Yon
will be banking whole store of recuperat-
ing energy. Even if you cannot sleep, stil
keep toyour bed. There is no more pesti-
rectly you are awake. If it is the early riser
who catches the worm, the worm is great
idiot to rise still earlier to be caught. If you
do not sleep by lying in bed you get rest.
You secure the faliow ground which will
hereafter produce good harvest. Sleep is
of course the proper employment for bed,
but if you don't sleep, you can lie still and
read. don't believe that the man who gets
up really learns or does more than the
man who lies in bed. Ii, for moment, the
writer may be egotistical, some of the hard
est work which he has ever done has been
from the earliest dawn till after breakfast in
bed. OF all sleep in the world there is none
SO good as what you get, in the way of treas
ure- trove, after the usual hour for waking.
when, in point OF fact, you have given up
the expectation OF getting any more sleep.
As for "being called,'' as the saying goes,
that is simply relic OF the barbarism OF our
ancestors. should quarrel with any man
who presumed '!to call me. One of the
main beauties OF an occasional day in bed is
that yon get an extra stock of sleep, which
goes to the credit side of your sanitary ac-
count.

FOOTSTEPS AT THE DOOR.

AS we know familiar voices,
Ever near and dear ones call,
Coming through the silent chambers,
Waking echoes in the hall;
SO with instinct all unerring,
Ever Strengthening more and more,
We can read the varied language
or the footsteps at the door.
Grandpa faltering tread now heavy
With the weight Of fruitful years,
Nearing yonder golden city
Almost through this vale of tears;
Steadfast feet that never loitered
Bravely gone on before:
BY and by We'll miss their music
Precious footsteps at the door.
Then the pattering of the children,
Happy darlings. out and in,
Like the butterflies and sunbeams.
With no thought OF care or sin!
Little feet that need sure guiding
Past the pitfalls on the shore.
Lest they turn aside to mischief;
Blessed footsteps at the door.
Then the matron, glad and CHEEKY,
Hears her gcod man drawing nigh;
And the children hear the mother
AS her busy footsteps fly;
, Household music! We all hear it.
While we love it more and more,
And we hope to welcome with it
Angel footsteps at the door!

FARM NoTEs.-Good hen manure from
fowls which have been literally fed is worth
as much as guano. 1t should be put into
barrels as soon as taken up from the chick
en- house, kept in dry place till wanted, a
little plaster mixed with it, and before using
pound up fine. Apply it same as guano.
For every hundred heads of cabbage,
take quarter OF pound Of black pepper
and put in a box large enough to slit out

three times will be sufficient. The worms
