as well as my betters if tried. Some mis-
trcsses are II long sight meaner than girl
could be; and the very mcanest women |
have ever lived with in the town we're the
ones that had had the greatest lot Of helps.
| When am asked to work fora women and
she begins telling me what tritiing girls
she has had am just sure that there is
something the matter besides the girls. l

Of my box, that got before | ever came to

would be a good thing for the ladies, ought
to know if she knows anything, that we are
just as willing as anybody, How can it
hurt us, any, Id like to know! I've always
been used To it, and think it is a mighty
mean woman that is not willing TO say that
] am good honest girl, for know | am.
And am good worker, too, as all the
ladies | have ever worked for know mighty
well. wish they'd ask us how we'd like
it. There's some of the colored girls and
poor white trash" that never had any
training, any way, that might object, but
there's not one that ever has lived like
have IN the first families that wouldn't
jump at the chance. 1t seemed mighty
funny to me to walk out of house with
out recommendation in my hand. ! never
lived with none but ladies' till came here
and they always knowcd enough to give

hard work here, nor what | have to leave
for, its all the same, ! get no letter and
| generally hear that the last place where !
lived they said ! was no account
or had bad temper or something
They are not so good themselves
but what they might say good word for
a poor girl sometimes. If Id tell, in every
house 20 to, what see in some houses,
| think there are some ladies that wouldn't
be so ready to eat body up to their faces
and turn on EN- as soon as their backs are
turned. Itthat woman who said was
thief will pay me that SIS she owes me
I'll be Obliged to her, is all I've gotto say
She can't say Il word against me to my face
am willing to take her recommendation
and show il to any lady, If she had sens,
enough to write one she'd give me gooI
one if she does tell stories on me behin(

bled at their residence hear Moler's X
Roads to witness the nuptials of their

The hour named for the ceremony
was six o'clock, and shortly after the
hour, after little patient waiting on
the part of the guests, the bridal party,
consisting of the bride and groom and
four attendants, entered the parlor, (which
had been neatly decorated for the coca
sion. Here the brides pastor, Rev. j.
G. Bowman, of Shepherdstown, per-
formed in an easy and graceful manner
the beautiful marriage ceremony OF the
Reformed Church-the ring being ex-
cluded, however.
After the happy pair had been made
some, and "sharers" of each others joys
and sorrows" they received the congrat-
ulatons of every one present ia quiet
and happy way.
The appearance Of the bridal party
was very attractive. The bride was
dressed in q pretty plum-colored silk, en-
Eaine, and trimmed with silk fringe
aud pearl buttons, aud she wore orange
blossoms in her hair and at her throat.
The lady attendants, Miss Mollie Hess,
sister TO the groom. and Miss Ida Bill
mycr, were in Cashmere suits OF the
same color as the brides, and trimmed
with silk. The groom and bis attend
ants, Messrs. Chas. Flanagan and j. S.

usual white lie.

Our Tenure Of Life

Depends in great measure upon regard
for OF neglect of the laws of health. II
we violate them we cannot expect to
"makc old bones" But that the span Of
existence allotted 10 4 naturally delicate
constitution, OF one which has becn shak-
en- by disease may be materially lcngthei-
ed, is n fact of which we have daily proof.
The viYifying and restorative influence Of
Hostettcr's Stomach Bitters upon fail
ing physique affords striking illustra-
ton of the power Of judiciOus medication
to strengthen the hold on life. Restored
digestion, complete assimilation, renew
ed appetite, sound repose, these are among
the benefits conferred upon debilitated by
that supreme renovant. With 4 cireula-
ton enriched, frame invigorated, and a
nervous system tranqnilized, the invalid,
after q course of the Bitters, feels that his
life-tenure is no longer the precarious
thing that it was-that he may yet enjoy
a green old age"

No MORE SEEDS FOR CoNcREssMEN.-
Uashmgion, February 3.-The Agrlcul-
tural Department has long furnished to
members Of Congress large quantities
Of seeds to be distributed TO their con-
sti;uents. The Commissioner has now
reached the conclusion that, as his duty
can only be discharged by maintaining
as far as possible the control OF the
distribution-cr, in other words, bt re-
structing Ito agricultural organizations
and such individuals as may be disposed
to make experiments-he can no longer
entrust The distribution TO members Of
Congress, that being believed by hun
to be adverse to these objects. He
says that from every part of the country
he has complaints that distribution by
members OF Congress not only answers
no reliable purpose, but that it is PERM
eious in its tendency.
