A Coon WoMAN.-A good woman
never grows old. Years may gooyer
her head, but if bcnevolence and vir-
tue dwell in her heart, she is as cheer
full az when the spring Of life first
opened to her view. When we look
upon a good woman We never think
OF her age--she looks - charming as
when tho rose Of youth first !,loomed
upon her cheek. That rose has not
faded. In her ncighborhoed she is
the friend and bcnefactor; in the
church the devout worshier and ex-
emplary Christian. Who does not
love and respect the woman who has
passed her days in acts Of kindness
and mercy-wl,o has been the friend
of man and God-whose whole life
has been u scene Of kindness and love,
devotion to love and religion? We
repeat, such woman cannot grow
old. She will always be fresh and
buoyant in spirits, and active in h1m-
BILE deeds of mercy and benevoIencA.
If young lady desires to retain tle
| bloom and beauty Of youth, let her not
yield to the sway Of fashion and folly;
let her love truth and virtue and ia
the close Of life abe will retain those
feelings which now make life appear
q garden Of sweets ever fresh and ever

circulation without destroying its pl1-
vate character. The island was orig
inally owned a. common property,
except the town lots. A person hay
ing one share in the common lands
WAS entitled to pasture one sheep.
This share was called 4 ''sheep'scom-
mon." Eight "sheep's commons" were
equal to Que "cow's common and
the owner Of two !"cow's commons"
could pasture one horse.
Thousands Of sheep were pastared
upon the island, and IN the spring Of
the year the great annual shesring
took place. This, until recent years,
was the great day Of Nantucket.
During these festivities, extending
over two or three days, strangers
from the "main" we're attracted
thither. The droves, which, perhaps,
had wandered unshepherded during
the whole winter, were secured in
pens, and tho few men who were not
at sea, and the boys who expected
some day to 90 to zen, attended faith.
fnllv to their duties of washing and
shearing, while the whole female pop
ulation would prepare snmptnos pic
mic dinners. The scenes were Often
very picturesque, and have beer
seized upon by story tellers and TO-
mancers.
OF course, in a settlement where
whaling was the principal occupation
the number Of men at home wa
usually comparatively small. Bn'

had no better opportunity to display
