Concerning women.

Women love always when earth
slips from them they take refuge in
heaven.
The whisper of a beautiful woman
can be heard farther than the loud
est call to duty.
There is no torture that a woman
would not suffer to enhance her
beauty.-Montaigle
Ofall things that man possesses,
women alone take pleasure in be-
ing possessed.-Mdther6e.
Before promising woman to love
only her, one should have seen
them all, or should see only her.
A Dttpuy.
We censure the Inconsistency of
woman when we are the victims /;
we find 1t charming when we are
the objects.-L. DeSnoyeTs.
We meet in sociely many beauti-
full and attractive women whom we
think would make excellent wives
for our friends.
Women among savages is a beast
of burden; in Asia she is a piece of
furniture; in Europe she is spoil
ed child.-iSen0c de 1Meitildn.
The highest mark of esteem a wo-
man can give man is to ask his
friendship and the most signal
proof of her Indifference is to offer
him hers.
1t is not easy to be widow; one
must reassume all the modesty of
girlhood without being allowed to
feign its ignOrance.--M0danle de
GFdTCliR.
Men are so fearful of wOunding a
wOman's vanity that they rarely re-
member that she may by some pos
possess It grain of common

Two Young Persons who Were
Christians and two Were Sin
ners
WIZ oounty lwest Va Mentor.

Writ County West Va.) Mentor.
Not far from Writ county is the
home of two young ladies, sisters,
aged respectively eighteen and
twenty years. They were each re-
ceiving the actresses of lovers, who
were brothers, and both couples
were engaged to be married. lit was
their intention to celebrate double
wedding about the holidays, but
now matters have changed, A few
days ago the four were sitting to-
gether in the parlor at the girls
home, when the elder lady eX-
pressed the desire to attend pro-
tracted meeting then being held in
a village near by. She asked her
lover to accompany her, but he re-
fused point blank, giving as his
reason that he was not a Christian.
The young lady insisted, but still
he refused. Finally she turned to
his brother, who, it seems, was a
Christian, and asked him to accom-
pany her. 70 the surprise of all, he
at once consented and they went to
the meeting. The two who re-
manned at home were very indig-
naut, the one at the conduct of her
lover, the other at the way that his
sweetheart had acted. The more
they discussed it, the more angry
they became. They discovered that
they-the ones at home-were both
Sinners while the two who had
gone were Christians. They talked
on, discovering little by little SINH
larities of taste and habits, and f.
nally resolved each to break with
the old love and form new alli-
ance. No sooner resolved than the
compact was ratified by kiss,
when by chance the Others entered.
The gentleman at once told his
brother what they had resolved to
do. To his great surprise no sor-
row was shown, no anger was man
ifested, and his wonder was in
creased when he was informed that
the other couple, while on their
walk home, had resolved to do the
same thing. The hugging, there
fore, now goes on as usual.

A lady does not lose caste because
she makes her own clothes, and is
obliged to economize. A "lady' is
a woman who clearly understands
and consistently practices the refine
ments Of a highly civilized exist
ence, and the most real distinction
between a lady and a woman who
is not a lady, is that one is more
civilized than the other, and more
determined to preserve the habits of
a high civilization, both in her own
person and in all those over whom
she has authority. These habits are
not simply habits of expense ii is
cheaper to remain sober than to get
tipSy, and yet is more lady-lilSe to
be sober. 1t does not cost more
money to speak good English than
had, or to be gentle than rude; yet
a lady from preference speaks cor
rectly and has gentle manners. It
SO happens by the force of circum-
stances that there are more ladies
in the upper classes than in the
lower, and that there is a severe pub
lie opinion in the upper classes about
most things which, taken together,
constitute civilization, because ii is
Il fault in rich people who have
great facilities, not to be clean, and
cultivated, and polite, when il may
only be a misfortune in poor ones.
There is, then, really such thing
as ladyhood, and it is one of the
strongest of civilizing influences.

Time or Coohing verelabIes.

I A French COOK gives the follow
Ing general rules for cooking
all kinds of vegetables. Greer
vegetables should be thorough
Fly washed in cold water, ano
then dropped into water which ha,
been salted and is just beginning IL
boil. There should be a tablespoon
| ful of salt for every two quarts 81
water. If the water hollis a long
time before the vegetables are put
in it has lost all gases, and the min-
eral ingredients are deposited on the
bottom aud sides of the kettle, SO
that the vegetables will not look
well or have Il fine flavor. The time
for boiling green vegetables depends
very much upon the age and how
long they have been gathered, The
younger and more freshly gathered,
the more quickly they are cooked.
Below is good timetable for cook
ing vegetables :
Potatoes, boiled, thirty minutes.
Potatoes, baked, forty-five min
ute.
Sweet potatoes, boiled, forty-six
minutes.
Sweet potatoes, baked. sixty min
utes.
Squash, boiled, twenty-five min
utes.
Squash, baked forty-five minutes.
Green peas, boiled, twenty-five to
forty minutes.
Shelled beans, boiled, sixty min
utes.
String beans, boiled, one TO two
hours.
Green corn, twenty-five to sixty
minutes.
Asparagus, fifteen to thirty min
utes.
Spinach, one to two hours.
Tomatoes, fresh, one hour.
Tomatoes, canned one-half hour.
Cabbage, three-fourths to two
hours.
Dandelions, two to three hours.
Beet greens, ,one hour.
Onions, one to two hours.
Beets, one to five hours.
Turnips, white, forty-five to six
ty minutes.
Turnips, yellow, one and one-half
to two hours.
Parsnips, one TO two hours.
Carrots, one to two hours.
Nearly all these vegetables are
eaten dressed with salt, pepper, and
butter, but sometimes a small piece
of lean pork is boiled with them,
and seasons them sufficiently. n

Penpsylvan.a's Dangerous sivnls.
Philadelphia Record.


The production of iron in this
country last year was over one mil
lion tons greater than in 1879. The
time is close at hand when the pro-
duct will largely exceed consump-
ton in the home market, and when
competitor will begin to eat up profit
and weed out furnaces and iron
mills that are not advantageously
placed. The fittest win survive.
The iron-makers of Pennsylvania
will find more dangerous rivals in
Missouri, Tennessee and Alabama
than in England on Wales. The
Record is a young journal, but 1T
does not expect to be an old one

vania will all be turned into arrant

GOOD AdvIee to Young wen.

The following from an exchange,
is true to the letter:
"The most unfortunate day in the
career of any young man is the lay
on which he fancies there is s',me
better way to make money than to
earn it; for from that feeling spring
the many extravigant and visionary
plans which are INDUCED III for tke
purpose of gaining a livelihood
without labor. When a young man
becomes thoroughly infected with
this feeling, he is ready to adopt
any means for the accomplishment
of his objects, and, if he is foiled in
his efforts, upon the crest of the
wave which has already mounted,
and III full view, is the temptation
to crimes, to shield him from the
disgrace which he thinks must in
evitably follow in the wake of de-
feat. TO those he yields, and the
first he realizes he finds himself the
Violator of the law, and criminal
in the eye of the community, and
the inmate of prison waiting trial,
all brought about for the want of a
little manly firmness in the outset
of life to prompt him to choose an
avocation where the penny earned
would bring with it its sure re-
ward"

The Amended bible.

According to statements, unoffi-
cial, but apparently authentic, the
reviews of the New Testament have
made alterations which will excite
some CONSERVATION and not little
regret among all those who are fa-
miliar with the authorized version.
In the Lords prayer, the concluding
petition, "Deliver us from evil" is
changed into "Deliver us from the
evil one." Half a dozen of the
more familiar texts in the New
Testament will disappearaltogether.
The question, "What shall it profit
a man if he shall gain the whole
world and lose his own soul ?'' is
metamorphosed into "What doth
it profit man to gain the whole
world and lose his own life ~ "Iia-
des" is substituted for "helI" in two
welI-known passages. The insorip-
tion on the altar ''to the unknown
GOd'' will read ''to an unknown
GOd.n Apart from these textual
alterations and omissions, the re-
visers have abolished the divisions
into chapters and verses and printed
the new version in paragraphs.

THE Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States read yesterday an opin-
ion of the highest importance to
legislative bodies, in which the ju-
dicial history of this country the
boundaries between the powers Of a
legislative inquisition and the rights
of private witnesses. The court adj
mits an absolute power of imprison-
ment in a legislative body for con-
tempt of its authority by its mem
bers or by witnesses refusing to give
evidence i'm an inquiry as to which
the legislative body has thorough
control in enacting statutes; but the
court denies 10 a legislative body
the power of imprisoning witnesses
who refuse to give testimony upon
any inquiry which does not exclu-
sively fall within legislative juris-
diction. This opinion Of the SUI
preme court implicitly eonvicts

A Camp-mecting Anecdote.

An incident of camp-meeting life,
detailed by a clergyman on Balti-
more steamboat, is thus reported in
'FForest and Stream:"
An old couple had supplied them
selves with a bottle of pennyroyal
oil with which to keep Off the mus
quitoes. They eXtinguished their
light and retired, forgetting the an7
tidote.
The mosquitoes were very bad,
and, after standing it as long as
they could, the old lady got up and
got a well-filled ink-bOttle instead
the oil, and gave the old gentleman
a thorough lubricating with the
fluid, face, hands and feet f; she then
anointed herself in like manner.
They again essayed to court the
drowsy god, but could only get an
occasional nap. Finally the old
lady got up and struck a light. Civ
ing glance at the bed she had just
left, she beheld, to her horror, col
ored person, as she supposed,
stretchedin the place of her spouse.
She quietly got the poker, and
beat the old fellow over the head
before discovering her mistake.
Later on in the night we found the
old couple on board the boat with
US, he with his head nearly as big
as bale of hay, and she caring for
him with the greatest solicitude.
