THE HOUSEWIFE.

What has this woman been doing
So long since the morning began:
L don't believe she can remember
One-half of the work she has done.
Dressing the dear little baby,
Combing his soft silken hair,
Patting bin back in the cradle
To sleep and grow healthy and rare.
Doing the work in tho kitchen,
Just what it happens to be,
Covering books for the sehoolrsom,
Ready for callers at three.
,MendiuG and making and chatting,
Two or three children to teach,
If not the primmer'S FIRST lesson.
Methods no othoE can teach.
That's what this woman's been doing,
Day after day tits the same;
Angels, @ watch and defcud her,
"Mother"-for that'is her name.

RAILROAD MATTERS,

Judge Robertson, Moses Walton, Mr.
Doran and Hon, W. H Travers met the
board of supervisors of Page county, Va, on
Tuesday, by arrangement, to perfect the
compromise of the suit pending in relation
to the county subscription to the Sheuar>
doah Valley Railroad. The details of the
settlement were all agreed upon, the neces>
sary papers executed aud the whole matter
consummsted, leaving nothing to be done
except the actual delivery of the 500, 900
OF bonds. This was not done FROM the fact
that Mr. Doran, the attorney for the Sheu~
nndOah Valley Railroad Company, had fall
ed to bring with him certified copy of the
record of his company authorizing the settle>
ment. The whole matter may therefore be
considered as practically settled.

by Secretary Of State Stainaker to the Balti-
more and Western Railroad COMPANY for

Revising the Code.

Hon. r. F. Dennis said to reporter of
the Wheeling Register:
"Our committee has done great deal of
work, and if the work laid out to be submit
ted in this city, hss been accomplished, we
will not be here over a week or ten DAYS"
'Well, We have tried to get everything
bearing on any one subject in one chapter
or section. We here in brief tend to make
the code compend of the statutes, and have
so far as we were ablo, simpIifcd and con-
dcnsed every thing that was susceptible of
either. We shall get at the criminal part
very soon now. The liGuor laws have been
revised and changed materially. especially in
the matter OF penalties. 1t used to be tina.
there could be 100 indictments for illegal
selling. and it so arranged that the
Prosecuting Attorney would accept con-
fessIon of guilty on one or two counts, aud
notte the rest. but under the new law he will
be compelled to convict or fail so to do in
all, as failure to do so is a sufficient cause
for removal. a druggist, who has been
twice convicted of selling liquor, can be de,
prived of his license to kce p drugs, by the
Judge Of the court. The law also provides
the form of prescription. It does away with
the Latin altogether, and requires the ply
sicians to prescribe in English a"pint of
whiskey," or such quantity as he may wish
He must also certify upon his professional Il
honor that it is for the purpose specified
There are also other changes, but have not
time to talk about them now"
