SINGLE WOMEN.

A clever Old maid once SAID IL WAC
far better TO be laughed at because you
were not married than not TO be able 10
laugh if you were. There is sound logic
in that. 1t is well for woman 10 mar
ry if she meets good true man, who
loves her and whom she loves; but il
she be not suited, better that she remain
single. The majority OF the old maids
are helpful, lovable and sweet tempered,
and 6li their allotted niche as acceptably
as do their married sister. Are they
not more to be IGNORED than they would
have been bad they married merely for
a home or postionl Our young ladies
have erroneous ideas upon this subject.
They ieel almost disgraced, If they have
arrived at a mature age, and are not yet
able to write Mrs. before their names.
Their whole ambition is TO get hus'
band, by hook or crook; but get him
somehow they must Consequently,
they take the first man who offers him
self, whether he really suits them or not.
Now girls, do not marry in haste. Get
the best education possible, help about
domestic affairs, and enter upon some
trade or profession, Cor which you have
a taste, aud master is Skilled labor is
always well paid. Don't spend your
time repiniug because you cannot sec
the coming man. Ifyou never see him,
you can live useful happy lives. You
think il only you had husband you
would have strong arm on which 10
lean, sharer of sorrow and trouble
Alas many slender woman has had
not only to stand alone bat also serve as
prop for children and husband, and very
few wives fiud 10 their husbands all the
sympathy and companionshlp they De
sire. Ii you are good for anything, you
will not be hurt by remaining single,
neither will you be elevated by becom-
ing "John's wife" DO your duty in
life and you will count for one in the
world whether married or single.
A DIFFERENT VEgsIoN.-The Jackson
Vile, (Fla.) Union give another version OF
the alleged ejectmcpt Of Bishop Payne,
colOred, from railroad car Ia that state.
According to the statement Of the conduc-
tor OF the train, who l. vouched for by the
Union as a reliable man IN all respects, on
the day in question there was large par
tv Ofcolorcd men going from Jacksonville
TO Fcrnandina 10 a church gathering the
party being granted half-fare rates, and
provided with a car equal In all its ap-
pOintments'' TO the one occupied by the
white passengers. In this car all the col
ored excursiOnists took seats except Bish-
Cd Payne. who was unknown 70 the con-
ductor, and who seated himself ln the car
occupied by the whites. When asked for
his ticket he presented one ofthe half-fare
tickets, but was told by the conductor that
he coald not recognize that ticket in that
car, and requested him to go into the for
ward ear, whereupon Bishop Payne be-
came indignant and declared Ihat he would
not aoye, but that the conductor could
stop his train and eject him. This the con-
ductor would not do, but told his un-
known passenger that the train would
stop at the next station when he could
either get of or take the car called for by
the ticket. The Bishop took the irst hoIn

and walked back to that city. The Union
says this Is absolutely all there IL In the
affair.
The Bedford (Pa) Gazette says: "All
doubt about the construction OF the
South Pennsylvania Railroad seems TO
be at an end. We speak blythe authority
of one who is chief in its management
when we say the entire route will be
put under contract as soon as the snr-

has nine corps OF engineers at work
between Harrisburg and Wheeling, and
2 number OF new corps are being organ

few days.
