But not alone in the silken snare
DID she catch her lovely floating hair,

A Rockl2nd woman has madea quilt
containing 1893 pieces. 1t is unneces-
cary to say that this Rockland woman
is nigh on to hundred, never wore
glasses, milks all the cows on the farm
and makes all the butter, besides doing
her homework, helping ia the hay
field, going to market every other day,
and getting through thousand and
ore other duties in the course of TWEEN

Married or not Married.-Mr. Cough
thinks that it is better for woman to
be laughed at for not being married,
han to be unable to laugh because she
is married. The marriage that, takes

rom eating apples because of Mother
Ewes unfortunate genealogical expe-
rience.

health and vigor. who talk of loving
their mother, yet allow her to wait
upon them, and drudge for them, so
that they may be free to follow their
own wills and pleasures. Thank GodI
