succeeded. The Philadelphia IaquirerS

What a Woman Can Do.

As wife and mother, woman can
make the fortune and happiness of her
husband and children; and, if she did
nothing else, surely this would be suffi-
cent destiny. By her thrift, prudence
and tact she can secure to her partner
and to herself competence in old age,
no matter how small their beginning or
how adverse fate may be theirs. By
her cheerfulness she can restore her
husbands spirit, shaken by the anxiety
of business. By her tender care she
can often restore him to health, if dis
ease has overtasked his powers. By
her counsel and love she can win him
from bad company, if temptation in an
evil hour has led him astray. By her
example, her precepts and her sexs
insight into character she can mold her
children, however adverse their dispo-
sitions, into noble men and women.
And, by leading in all things true and
beautiful life, she can refine, elevate and
spiritualize all who come within reach;
so that, with others of her sex emulat-
ing and assisting her she can do more to
regenerate the world than all the states
men or reformers that ever legis(ated.
She can do much, alas! perhaps more,
to degrade man if she chooses to do it.
Who can estimate the evils that woman
has the power to do? AS wife she
can ruin herself by extravaganza, folly
or want of affection. She can make a
demon or an outcast of man who
might otherwise become a good member
of society. She can bring bickering
strife and discord into what has been a
happy home. She can change the in
nocent babes into vile men and even into
vile women. She can lower the moral
tone of society itself and thus pollute
legislation at the spring head. She can,
in fine, become an instrument of evil
instead of an angel of good.
Instead of making flowers OF truth,
purity, beauty and spirituality spring
up in her footsteps, till the earth smiles
with loveliness that is almost celestial,
she can transform it to black and arid
desert, covered with the scorn of all evil
passion, and swept by the bitter blast
of everlasting death. This is what
woman can do for the wrong as well as
for the right. Is her mission a little
01I6! IDS she 10 WUrTny WOrK, as mas
become the cry of late? Man may have
a harder task to perform, rougher road
to travel, but he has none lottier or
more influential than wcman's.

A Cannon to Shoot Ten Miles.

The making of the patterns for the
Lyman-Haskell accelerating or multi
charge gun, at the Scott Foundry of the
Reading Iron Works, was begun this
morning. The gun will be twenty-five
feet long and have bore six inches in
diameter. Along the bore four pockets
will be located, in each Of which
charge of powder will he placed, with
the view of accelerating the speed OF
the hall after it leaves the -chanlher- of
the gun and during its progress through
the bore. Experts who have seen the
drawings and have given the subject
of the manufacture of heavy ordnance
a study have expressed the opinion
that the gun will throw ball distance
OF ten TO twelve miles, whereas i've miles
is a good range for the best cannon.
The charge of powder will be l3Opounds
and the weight of shot $50 pounds. 1t
is calculated that shot from the gun
will penetrate through two feet OF solid
wrought iron. Reading (Pa.) Eagle.

The Fruit. Again.

Since writing my note, several days since,
regarding the condition OF peaches parilcu-

ard. on again inspecting it on Yesterday, l
find some Ia,e-blOoming peaches are putting
ont bloom where we thought they were
killed. but the large majority OF The trees
have not peach living on them. The VIII
low or lemon peaches, before mentioned,
i've in number, are full OF bloom not injured.
I remember now that they are seeding trees
riyen me by a nurseryman because ne
thought they could not be relied on to come
"true." He had planted the seed to pro.
duce stock to bud on. There Is no doubt
about The peach coming "true" from The
seed, and there is no doubt but what the
trees thus raised are harder and Withstand
frost better. The well.kn0wn nursery
man Mr.. William Hurt, OF Bedford, in
formed me at one Of our State Fairs that he
had found in cutting down and removing
peach.trees that the wood OF the trees from
the seed is denser and harder, and the trees
are more hardy. The lesson from this Is
that pei sons intending to raise peach orch
ards should save seed from the best peaches,
put them in the ground in the fall In small
space, take them up III the spring, when
they have begun to come up, plant them in
nursery rows, and let them remain there
until ready to set out. II they are wei at
tended to and get good growth they may
be put out the next fall OF spring; iail Is
the best time to set out fruit-trees.
