A True Lady.

Wildness is thing which girls can
not afford. Delicacy is a thing which
cannot be lost or found. No art can
restore the grape its bloom. Familiarity
without confidence, without regard, Is
destructive to all that makes woman
exalting and ennobllug. 1t is the first
duty oil q woman to be a lady. Good
breeding is good sense. Bad manners
IN a woman is immortality. Awkward"
ness may be eradicable. Bashfutness
is constitutional. Ignorance OF etiquette
ia the result of circumstances. All can
be condoned and not Danish men or
women from the amenities Of their
kind. But self7possessed, unshrinking
and aggressive coarseness OF demeanor
may be reckoned asa States prison
offense, and certainly merits thas mild
form of restraint called Imprisonment
for life. E ~
It is a shame for women to be lectured
on their manners. 1t is a bitter shame
that they need it. Do not be restrained
Do not have impulses that need re-
straint. Do not wish to dance Will
the Prince unsought-feel differently
Be sure you confer honor. Carry
yourself so loflily that men Will look
up to you for reward-not at you IN re-
buke. The natural sentiment OF MAI
toward woman Is reverence. He loses
large means Of grace when he Is
obliged to account her abelng 70 o' D
trained in propriety. A mans iaeai u
not wounded when woman iails u
worthy wisdom; but il in grace ~ ZACH
in sentiment, in delicacy' IN kindness
she would be found wanting nc re-
ceives an inward hurt.

Justice Marshall and the Tur'
key.

Chief Justice Marshall was a great
man; but great men are not apt to be
proud. Ho was not too proud 10 wait
upon himself. He was in the habit OF
going to market himself, and carrying
home his purchases. Often would he
be seen going home at sunrise, with
poultry in one hand and vegetables in
the other.
On one of these occasions a tashlona-
BILE young man from the North. who
had removed from Richmond, was
swearing violently because he could
find no one to carry home his turkey.
Judge Marshall stepped up to him and
asked where he lived. When he heard
he said:
THAT is my way: will carry your
turkey home tor you.'
When they came 10 the house the
young man asked, What shall l pay
youp
'Oh, nothing said the judge; you
are welcome it was all in my way,
and it was no trouble to me-
who is that polite old man who
brought my turkey home for mes' ask
ed the young man Of a by-stander,
Oh said he, that was Judge
Marshall, Chief Justice Of the United
States
why did he bring home my turkeyT

stander, 'to teach you not to feel

A ScRIPTURAL PUzzLE.-There is a
certain natural production, neither
animal, vegetable, nor mineral. 1t
neither roots in the earth, swlms in
water, or floats in the air; but is com"
monty found from two to SIX feet above
the surface of the earth. II is neither
male nor female, but generally exists
between the TWO. It's often heard and
ielt, yet has neither length, breadth or
substance. 1t is often presented close
to the eye, yet 1t is but seldom seen,
although we are conscious OF its APP
proach. 1t forms no shadow, nor
leayes any visible impression. 1t can
be called into existence on the shortest
notice, but expires almost the same
moment it is born. 1t is spoken oil IN
the Old Testament, and strongly rec
commended in the New, and answers
equally the purpose Of treachery aud
fidelity. What is 1t? Who will answer

remembered that the morning express
would come down in ten minutes.
The riders had stopped by the way
TO permit Mr.. Ney TO dismount and
gather the first cardinals for Barbara.
As they trotted sharply down the road
the roar Of the train was heard just be-
yond the curve. Maddened with terror
the wild young horse Barbara rode
reared, plunged and sprang away from
the other horse and darted down the cut
toward the tram. With hoarse shout
to sit firm Eben rushed out from
the corpse and flung himself under his
hoofs. He caught the bit in his hands
and pulled the colt on his launches,
ead then a violent kick made HIM drop
like log. Some woodchOppers came
to the rescue, and as they lifted Bar
bara of the train thundered by. Ebcn
was picked up for dead, and even Mr..
Noy declared he was braYc fellow.
In an agony Of grief and remorse
Barbara hung near him all those tedi.
Gus days, when Eben's mind wandered
and he muttered troubled, lncoherent
sentences, in which, poor fellow, he
told all his hopes and fears. He was
now indeed haggard and ghostly pale,
with an ugly scar on his left temple,
and his hands lay weak and neryeless
on the coverlet. The first moment OF
sanity and consciousness which came
made him sigh and wish that he had
remained oblivious to life and its mis-
cries. 1t was Barbara who leaned on
HIM while her great brown eyes filled
with tears.
'Oh, Ebcn how can you bear tc
look at ne? You can never forgive
me y
You would not say that ifyou knew
what was in my heart
Cant you tell me, E0en? am sc
wretched,'
L am sorry for that 1 must not tel

carcssingly.

gave yours for me-
But, Barbara Oh Barbara, m,
darling, gave mine because l love-
YOU better than life, than Heaven.

But you will not lose me- He
arms stole tenderly around him, ant
she laid her cheek against his. l ow,

Barbara, think what you are say

that you care for meo
'Eben, my love, you are all tn

My own!'
With one great effort and a spasm G
his old strength Eben pressed her t
his heart.
And you never meant to MARI

sauclness.

AChance for the South.

Itsis the curse of the South that she cultivates loosely, produces ir- regularly and wastes half that she produces. In the one item of cotton, If she would only spin 1t with these Clement mills and grind the seed with oil mills, she would double the value of the lint, double the value of the seed, and give employment to nearly double thee number of peo. pie now employed in planting and raising the crop. If our people would only encourage these two in- dustries-if our capitalists would on ly go into such nvestments--if our farmers would only club together and establish them in the neighbor. hoods--if our mechanics would form cooperative companies, and build them---we should soon regain the enormous wealth we lost with our slaves, aud the South would become richer than her most sanguine son can hope for.-Atlanta Ga. ) Constr tuition.

Killed by 8 Meteor.

As David Meisenthaier, the we'll known stock man, of Whitestone township, was driving his cows to the barn about daylight this morn ing, he was struck by an Rrolite and and instantly killed. It appears that as if fthe meteor had come from a direction little west of south. and fell obliquely at an angle of about sixty degrees, for it first pass ed through tall marle, cutting the limbs as clean as if 1t had been cannon ball, and then struck him apparently on or under the shoulder, passing clear through him obliqukly from below the right shoul- der to above the left hip, and buried itself about two feet in the soft black ground. The poor mans head and legs are injured, but the greater part of his body seems to have been crushed into the earth beneath the terrific @rolite, which Is about the size of common patent bucket, and apparently of roughly round shape. It appears to be formed of what is called iron pyrites. -Colman's Rur- al World.
