No grass should grow under his feet now,
he said, as he walked home under the stars.
By O'Clock the next day he was stand
ing in the parlor of Dorley Grange, wait
ing with agitation for the entrance of Mrs.
Holt. When she came, the young man
spoke earnestly, with the eloquence of
love, and the mother gave with tears and
smiles the permission he craved. Ellice
would soon be in from the village, she said
Then he would go and meet her.
Ellice's heart had been futtering with a
happy unrest all the day and she had gone
into the village to quiet it by seeing some
OF the poor old people who looked for her
coming as their best sunshine.

A Worldly Old Maids Advice.

From my safe position have watched
many husbands, my dear gi:ls, and can
give you few hints which may be of
service in selecting partner for fife. I
shall contine my observations to the
small circle of men, such as have
studied around the tea-table. If man
wipes his feet Oh the door-mat before
coming into the room, you may he sure
ne will make good domestic husband.
Ii man puts his handkerchief Oh his
knees while taking his tea, you may be
sure he will make prudent husband.
In the same way, always mistrust the
man who will not take the last piece of
toast, but prefers waiting for the next
warm batch. It is not unlikely he will
make a greedy, selfish husband, with
whom who will enjoy no "brown at
dinner. no crust at tea, no place what
ever at home. The man who is very
careful of his own health is very apt to
be careless Of yours. All his sympathy
is expended on himself. The man who
watches the kettle and prevents it boil
ing over will not fail, my dears, in his
married state. in exercising the same
care in always keeping the pot boiling.
The man who doesn't taketea, in-treatsthe
cat. takes snuff, and stands with his
back to the fire, is brute whom would
not advise her to marry under any con-
sideration, either for love or money, but
mcst decidedly not for love. But the
man who, when the tea is over, is dis
covered to have had none, is sure to
make the best husband. Patience like
his deserves being rewarded with the
best Of wives and the best of mothers-in-
law. When you meet with such man
do your utmost to marry him. He will
in oil respects be model.

American Sugar.

The time is approaching very evident
" when the manufacture Of sugar in this
republic will reach sufficient magnitude
to supply the whole country. Our terri
tory is SO extensive and the temperature
so varied that there is scarcely anything
consumed by man that it will not fur
nish, when the intricacies of the art OF
producing it is once sufficiently we'll un-
2erstood. We do not say that the sugar
supply will come from beets, though to
some extent, and very large extent, it
may, and we hope will. But more like
it will be the product of sorghum and
the amber cane, which would seem to he
less costly in the way Of labor. Sugar
from beets can undoubtedly be made of
as excellent quality as any produced
from any other material, but we fear not
so cheaply: Labor is the great draw
back; this being so much more econom-
ically supplied in France and Germany
than in the United States, readily ac-
counts for the success of beet-sugar
making there; and it seems that it will
always continue to be 80, at least so
long as this discrepancy in the price of
labor exists. Should we be able, how
ever, to counterbelance this by increased
product OF the beet per acre, or by i'm
proved machinery, or from any other
cause not now developed, the aspect of
things may be changed. The factory in
Delaware is experimenting perhaps more
intelligently than any other that has
been established in this country, and the
prospect is more encouraging than any
other. Should it be finally successful,
it will of course lead the way to the
establishment of others, and hence sup
ply want in the United States so great
and commanding as to give employment
to labor and capital to an enormous ex-
ZeZe0rn1h.

Women GnSSina.


It appears to be settled belief with
every masculine observer that whenever
two or three women meet the result is
sure to he stream of aimless, purpose
less talk, usually given the name of gos-
sip; collection Of idle chit-chat, to DO
found only among women.
Why women should gossip more than
men seems to be unknown and unex-
plaiued, except by the hypothesis Of
mental inferiority. I think it could be
better accounted for CD the ground Of
defective education. The man has his
business to engross his thoughts; it
brings him in contact with many men
and many minds. And then he has
mans prime consoler, the newspaper, to
freshen his thoughts and ideas. It is a
!amentable fact that few women-that
IS, few in comparison with men--read
the newspapers. It has been said that
the papers, especially those given to too
much interviewing, encourage gossip
ing disposition by their trivial details
about persons and things. but in such a
case 1t ceases to be gossip, according to
the common acceptance of the term it
does not consist Of mere frivolous per
sonal items.
The thoughts Of one occupied in the
regular routine of household work are
apt to run in a certain groove she is
"cumbered with many cares" and her
conversation very naturally consists of
what is called gossip. The average
housekeeper has no time for regular
course OF reading, but surely the ten
dency to gossip would be greatly less
ened by light reading. Her culture
might be superficial, but it would be a
decided benefit. After all, I think the
more thoroughly women are educated
the less likely they are to indulge in such
supposed weaknesses of the sex as gos-
siplng.

Mining Attitudes.

A good deal Of nonsense is being in
dnlged in by contemporaries about the
attitudes at which mines, and especially
silver mines, are found and one para
graph, evidently started by man from
1.-The Louisiana lowlands," says that
scientific men have proved by actual
measurement that most Of the great sill
yer mines lie 10000 feet above the pres
ent sea level, and among the richest are
some 1000 feet higher STILL" Job, of
the land OF Uz, who was doubtless bet
ter versed in geology, mineralogy, met
allurgy and practical mining than many
OF the scissors editors who keep the
above quotation afoat, said: "Surely
there is a vein for the silver, and place
for gold where they fine Qefine or purify
it," Rich silver mines have been found
as high as 16, 900 feet, and many of them
as much as 10000 feet above the level
Of the sea, but it does not follow that
silver mines are found only at such alti-
tudes. The highest groupings of the
famous Comstock are considerably less
than 5000, and the Eberhardt, of White
Pine-the richest silver mine in the
known. worlds barely 1900 feet above
the sea level. The Carthagenlan mines
of antiquity, which at one time en-
ployed 40, 900 operatives, were scarcely
5000 feet high, and the rich mines Of
Tombstone in Arizona do not attain even
SO great an altitude. In all the broad
mineral region of Nevada, no paying
vein of silver ore has ever been found at
an altitude of 10000 feet. It does not
follow even that because veins of silver
are usually found in the older rocks of
lofty mountain ranges, they may not
also be found in the sandstones and 9TH
er sedimentary rocks of the valleys, as
in the case Of Silver Reef, Utah. The
speculation es to the latitude of Mines
is all nonsense, for tsurely there is
vein for the silver" and that vein is as
likely to be found, all other conditions
being favorable, at an altitude of 1000
es at one Of 10000 feet.-Bodie free

Old Times.

It is really not very long since lros-
porous business men were satisfied with
apartments which would hardly suit
well-tO-do workingmen now. That,
however, says New York correspond
ent, was before We got into the arena of
great millionaires. There are lots of
folks still among us who remember very
we'll when the possession OF 5000, 900
made man a nabob. Astor was tha
only actual millionaire in tho city.
Back III those times it was the custom
Of rich men to live in apartments over
their places of business. That was
when the stores were oil below Canal
street and Murray hill away out in the
country. The merchants and lawyers
who lived over their stores and Offices
were quite as comfortable there as the
richer men of to-day living in 800, 600
mansions up town. The elite of the
city could be found in the neighbor-
hood Of Bowling Green, and the Battery
had greater charms than Central Park
has now. Between riches now and
riches then the difference is enormous.
One Of our present millionaires, with an
extravaganza family, spends as much
money in year as would have made a
permanent family fund in the old times.
It is not m uncommon thing for such a
man to lay out $40, 600 between New
Years and tho next Christmas. In the
times I speak of man who could CON-
mand $4,000 oil told was considered
rich for life. An income of $4,000 or
So, 900 year was thought enough for
any family not given to downright ex-
travagance. Five or six times that will
hardly suffice for fashionable family
now. The world has changed indeed.
and nowhere moro than in Gotham.
But in those slow old times, great-cor-
porations were unknown, and no man
could put millions in his pocket by the
simple process of watering stock.
