JOHN BROWN.
What Fred Douglass Says About the
Old Martyr.

WASHINGTON, May Ain a recent
letter thanking a gentleman for calling
his attention to an autograph letter by
John Brown, Mr.. Frederick Douglass
says: "You have made me very much
obliged to you for the letter of John
Brown. Every line and syllable writ
ten by the grand old hero has an especial
interest for me. About the time this
letter of his was written he was living
with me ir Rochester, n. Y, and hence
letters for him were directed to my care.
There were reasons growing out of his
free State work in Kansas which made
it necessary at that time to avoid pub
licity. l never had under my roof at
any time such an incarnation of justice
and the true martyr spirit as when John
Brown lived with me. He was con-
slant thorn in my side. / could not
help feeling that this mans zeal in the
cause of my enslaved people was holier
and higher than mine. l could speak
for my race-he could fight for my race.
1 could live for my race-John Brown
could die for my race. My zeal was
bounded by time-his stretched away
into the silent depths of eternity. His
call to me was, Come up higher and not
being able to rise to his height his calls
troubled me; still was drawn to him
loved him. He was one of the few men
l have met with, the greatness of whose
soul grew upon me the more | saw of
him. Thanks to ingalls, and to Ed
munds-the two noble Senators, one
speaking for free and glorious Kansas
and the other for Vermont (whose
Green Mountains were in the darkest
days of slavery too sacred to liberty to
tolerate the footprints of slave hound),
for the stinging rebuke they gave to the
Senator who tried to stamp upon the
grave of John Brown"

An Indian woman in a village OF

was carried out literally.
Vandyke red is new color; it is both

Table Beets and Seeds.

The Beet is available vegetable, both
for the table and for stock If seed is
sown pretty thickly in drills in the ear
Iy spring the plants can be thinned out
and prepared for the table, like spinach,
as soon as they become a few inches in
height, for month or more until the
roots become as large as radishes, both
roots and leaves being excellent. When
a little larger, the roots can be cooked
alone, and in this way are used until
winter, when those remaining should be
stored away in cold cellar, or pit, COW
cred with earth. In this way they will
keep till spring. For beets the soil
should be rich. mellow and deep. Plant
in drills, about two inches deep, and the
rows about twelve or fifteen inches
apart. Set the seeds in the drills about
two inches apart.-Vick's Floral Guide.

French Wisdom.

CMaxims of Dumas, the Younger.1
We enjoy thoroughly only the pleas
ure that we give.
l prefer knave to a fool-sOmetimes
he takes a rest.
All women wish to be esteemed--they
care less about being respected.
We are acquainted with the justice of
God, but know nothing about his juris.
prudence.
A man looks at woman from head to
foot-a woman looks at a man from foot
to head.
Never attempt to convince a woman
of anything by argument-you must re-
sort to emotion. y
God would have been very illogical
and cruel if, having made Life what it
is, he had not also made Death.
Those whom. we have loved and lost
are no longer where they used to be, but,
ever and everywhere, where are we.

HOUsE-CLEANING HINT s.-Helen
Campbell, in her recent book on house
keeping, gives some very excellent and
helpful hints in regard to house-clean-
ing, which our lady readers, who are
about passing through that ordeal, will
be very glad to see. She says, if coal or
wood are to be laid in for the winter
supply, let it be done before house-clean-
ing begins, as otherwise much dust will
be spread through the house. 1t is not
necessary to take up heavy carpets eve
ry year Or Oftener than once in two or
three years unless they are in constant
use. The tacks, however, should be ta-
ken out every year. and the carpet fold
ed back a yard or two and the floor
washed in strong suds> in which borHx
has been dissolved at the rate of ta-
bleSpoonful to a pail of water, and after
dusting black pepper on the edges tack
the carpet.down again. BY this means
moths are kept away, and as corners
and folds are their fayorite hiding places
they are searched out and destroyed. In
grain and other carpets after being taken
up can be frightened in color by sprink
ling pound Or two of salt over their
surface and sweeping carefully. 1t is
usual to occasionally wipe off the car
pet with borax water, using wet fan
mel and taking care not to wet the car
pet, only to dampen it. Mirrors should
also be wiped with borax water. the
cloth being wet enough to dampen it.
In securing paint, sapolio is better than
sand, and in all cases a little borax
should be placed in the water. Mirrors
can be cleaned with whiting, afterward
being rubbed with woolen cloth, or
may be polished and dried with old
newspapers. Oil paintings should sim.
ply be wiped with damp cloth, and if
picture cord is soiled, that should be
wiped off to secure against moths. Soap
should never be used on vanished work
of any sort. An excellent way of keep
ing winter clothing during the summer
is to place it in bags made of several
thicknesses of newspapers, printers ink
being one of the most successful protec-
tions against moths. Gum camphor is
also good. A pound of gum camphor
sewed in little bags will last a long
time. Before putting away wooden
clothing, flannels, ETC., they should be
carefully washed and shaken in order
to get rid of any moth eggs.

Old-Time Marriages.
Jackson (o.) Standard.


jackson (O.) Standard.
Marriages in the country in the early
days generally took place between neigh
bors; but in the sparsely settled condi-
tion of the country, persons living eight
or ten miles distant were neighbors, and
were acquainted. Marriage always took
place on Tuesday or Thursday. The
ceremonies lasted two days, the wed
ding and. the Unfair. The bride was
dressed in white muslin, with bobinet
cap, with peak running up at the back
part of the head. She had bridesmaid,
or attendance" who was dressed the
same way. The neighbols were invited
for miles around, and arrived from nine
to eleven o'clock.
The friends of the groom, as the
bridegroom, was called, started in time
to arrive between eleven and twelve.
This party consisted generally of from
twenty to thirty young folks, men and
women, on horseback. When within a
mile of the residence of the bride, two
men were selected to run for the bottle.
They left their hats, and tied handker-
chiefs around their heads. The crowd
halted. The two men. when prepared
10 start, gave loud yell, and set off at
full speed. This was rather dangerous,
as there was generally only single
path, through the woods. The crowd at
the residence of the bride, hearing the
yell of warning, all came out, the father
of the bride holding up the bottle. 1t
was called decanter, being round
quart bottle, with rings around the neck
1t was dressed with ribbon and strips
of paper. Soon the horsemen came
dashing up, the horses leaping over logs,
etc. The foremost man took the bottle,
amid the cheers of the crowd. The two
then rode leisarely back to the party, ,and
the bridegroom, who was in front, took
the bottle, passed it to the young woman
who was riding by his side. She took a
drink of the whisky, then he drank, then
the bottle was passed along the line to
the rear, the men and women all drink
ing. Then the two men who had run
Tor the Dottle Co0k a drink, and TOOK
charge of the bottle and what little
whisky remained in it. Now the column
moved on to the cabin, and all rode
around it three times, alighted, hitched
their horses to the rail fence and went
in. The bridegroom and his male at
tendants, all took seats. Now the coun-
try Squire appeared and married them
They again took their seats, when their
friends came up and shook hands, with
each, saying: 81 wish you much JOY"
Now came dinner. Corn bread, bis
cults, pumpkin pie, chicken pot pie and
many other good things.
The afternoon was spent by the men
in various ways; the young men ran foot
races, jumped, wrestled, etc.; the older
men sat on the fence or wood pile, told
hunting stories, Indian fights, ghost and
witch stories, etc.
At night there was great dance, and
the next day the party set off for the in
fair, which was at the house of the
bridegroom's father, and the same pro-
gramme, except the marriage ceremony,
was gone through with. After this the
parties at once went to housekeeping in
their rude cabin. No wedding tours in
those days.

Grammar in Rhyme,

Three little words you often see
Are Articles-G, an, and The.
A Nouns the name of anything,
A school or garden, AOop or S5oihs.
Adjectives tell the kind of Noun,
As great, snail, preyty, plite, or bTo'cH.
Instead of Nouns the Pronouns stand
Her head, his face, yOilr arm, my hand.
Verbs tell of something to be done
To read, count, sing, laugh, jump, or run.
How things are done the Adverbs tell,
As sIO,cly, quickly, IL, or ioeH.
Coniunctions join the words together
As men and women, which or whether.
The Proposition stands before
A Noun, as in or through door.
The lnterjection shows surprise,
As, oh! how pretty; Gh! how wise.
The whole are called Nine Parts of Speech,
Which reading, writing, speaking teach.
