IN Idea. Girl.
In a village of Oaeida county, New York,
according to a correspondent of the Utica
Observer, there is a young lady who has
merits deserving of public notice. She is
a blonde, of medium height, blue eyes,
clear-cut Grecian features, and is acknowl-
edged to be pretty, even by .envious
females, and has borne away all the best
prizes IN school for years. Her education
lis pronounced by our late school commits
sioner as being as good as that Of any
teacher in the district. She can bake,
wash. iron, make garden, sing diyinely,
sew on a button or patch, make and fit all
her own clothes, spin the yarn and make
her own stockings, mop the floor,
entertain a house full Of ministers or an
assemblage of young people, make tatting,
! crotchet, bevel a l~ambreluin, knit inser-
ton on a slipper case, or quilt a pumpkin
pie. She never was known to call your
attention to the door scraper or mat, never
spoke a cross word or had a cold dinner on
washing day, never ate a chocolate carmel
or chewed gum. She wears non but her
own hair and teeth, and was never nearer a
corset than the outside of a dry goods

yet our best young men would be at her
feet with the least encouragement. She
can row Z boat, shoot a gun, climb a tree
and throw a fly or land a trout in a manner
t, win the admiration of any sportsman.
Sne never gossips and never attempts to
take a land in another woman's knitting
work, and is never seen upon
the streets in the evening,
unless going to church or to visit the sick.
Her father has been a widower for over a
dozen years., d pillar in the church, social
and sought after by all, yet manifests no
desire to change housekeepers. She was
never known to torture a piano il her life,
manlfests no fOndnesS for cats, or poodle
or cur dogs, and doesn't know George
Eliot's best novel from a hen-coop, yet she
is thoroughly conversant with tn" import
ant questions and news of the day, and can
quote history till you can't wink. We are
not related except through our respected
ancestor, Adam, and no young man must
consider this thrown out as al inducemert.
for the lady in question would not loo
favorably upon his suit a moment unless
she was convinced that he was the equal of
her father, and it would be strong proof
she would require. She is a thorough
going politician with Democratic proclivi-
ties.
All M -1esemn: Of a PatchtcorE Quilt.
Nothing could present a more peaceful
appearance than one of those variegated
combinations known to rural housewives
as patchwork bed quilts; but appearances
are deceitful. The other evening in Lon
don, Ont, a meeting was held in the Town
hall to dispose of al article of that de-
scription made by the ladies of the Epis-
copai church. Two of the church wardens,
Mr.. John Fox and Mr.. William Stanley,
nominated Miss Porte and Miss Goodacre
as candidates for the quilt, and the
voting began. When about $50
had been collected the poll was declared
closed, and the quilt was awarded to Miss
Goodacre; bat a mistake was discovered
and the voting e on, amid great excite
melt. When 500 had been received Miss
Porte was declared the winner, but Mr..
Fox declared that the poll should be
opened again, and laid down his gold watch
and chain in favor of Miss Goodacre. This
bold stroke was at once outdone by Mr..
Stanley, who put up his house and LOT, to
which Mr.. Fox responded with $500 in
cash and the offer of $1,000 more if neces-
sary. At this point the confusion was be-
yond control, and the meeting broke up
without making the award. The clergy
man has since returned the house and LOT,
the watch and chain and the $500, and it
is understood that 9th the wardens have
resigned.
