q Georgia Frog story.
HdytueH Sun,

A gentleman from Hsrtwell sent 10
the Great Western Gun Works and Pur-
chased small parlor rifle, with l,O)o
cartridges of the smallest size, the bull
lets being about the size of duck shot.
He went over to Benson's mill-pond
frog hunting, and found very large
frog of the masculine gender sitting on
a stump just above the water. He shot
twenty-seven times at him, when his
frogship lost his balance and dropped
over into shallow water. Upon taking
the frog out it was found he had swal-
lowed twenty-six of the bullets, catch
ing them in his mouth, supposing them
to be flies. When he went TO move the
weight Of the lead carried him over
board, and when taken out was not dead
but awful Sillen.

A SUCCESSOR to the oyster, the ex-
tinction of which is from time to time
predicted, has been found in Washing
ton Territory, in the shape Of a huge
soft-shell clam. The new aspirant to
gastronOmic favor, when dug out off
home, is said to resemble a plump duck.
The edges ofIhe shell are separated by
= breast of flesh, which is cut into slices,
rolled in meal, and fried-the flavor be-
ing equal to the best oyster, while the
meat is very tender and juicy.

THE NEW ORTHODOXY.

The new religion groweth from the old;
For sinful man has, and must have, a creed,
While human nature spuns the better deed,
Turning the myths supernal manifold.
But there shall dawn a day OF greater worth,
Which man shall. far above the mystic sphere,
Discern one law OF Truth In all the Earth,
Both new and old prevailing everywhere.
o man, wouldst know this law to make thee
blest?
Ask not with trembling, "ShaI l be for
given?"
But true within. and in thy spirits rest
Find still in Righteousness the hope of
Heaven.
Nor ask OF men or systems for . cure:
Tho true shall stand-the Just for az endure.

THE English wheat crop is pronOun-
ced by the London Times, on the whole
below the average. There are counties
in which it is above the average of last
year, and the elaborate reports recently
made to Scotch paper show that many
if not all the food crops in Scotland
have done well. In Ireland all crops,
and the potato yield in particular, are a
failure. The upshOt of the situation
seems to be that England will, as in
past years, have to import upwards Of
1000, 900 bushels, grain and flour to-
gether, about twO-thirds from the
United States.

HOME EDUcATIoN OF GIRLS.

"HomelinesS" is q good old word that
has been much abused by a careless Gus
tom of speech. We should be glad to
see il rescued from this abuse by the ed
ucators who are devOting themselves to
training and educating our girls. We
should be glad to see its real meaning
exemplified in tine education and disPo-
sitiOn of those who must rear our future
rulers of the Republic. We should be
glad to see some educational refOrmer
advertise to the world that the girls en-
trusted to his charge will become
accomplished in all tho arta and ways
Uf humeliDess. This a matter that
touches the permanence, the well-being
and the morality of society-not the
stupid little clique that gather together
in corners here and there and call them
selves ''soeiety"-but the society which,
in its political relations, Is known as the
State. We may afford to let the boys
run loose and wild, so far as education
is concerned, the probability being that
they can take care Of themselves; but
We cannot afford to allow our girls
to begin life with such a
shallow and frivolous equip
ment as the present system Of female
education furnishes. Music, dancing,
painting nearly all the so-called SAC
complishments'-are the amusements
of girlhOOd. The system that stops at
these things is little less than monstrous.
Why should not our girls be taught
to be women? Why should they not
be drilled in the mysteries OF house
keeping, at least in addition to such
Accomplishments Why should
young women who are brilliant in the
parlOr be slatterns and slOvens at the
tireSideH
There is no genuine human felicity
disconnected from hOme-life, and it is
the peculiar province of woman either
to promote or destroy the happiness of
the family; and families in the aggre-
gate compose the human race. This is
her destiny, and has been since the
world began. Whether she promotes or
destroys the happiness of man, and her
own as well, depends to great extent
greater, indeed, than we are willing
toadmit in view ofall the circumstances
upon the discipline to which her
faculties have been subjected and under
which her disposition has been moulded
and modified. Tact alone will not en-
able her to perfectly fulfill her delicate
and difficult mission, if this preparatory
discipline has been neglected or mis-
directed. Those who enjoy the delight
of happy and well-ordered home rare
ly pause TO reflect how much skill and

Such a satisfactory scrap can be found
in the dispatch of Sundays date from

why the intelligent correspondent
