WEARY WOMAN.

Nothing is more repreheDsibies
and thoroughly wrong than the
idea than "a woman fuIiiIs her.
dnty BY doing an amount.of WORK
, that is far beyond her strength.
She not only does not fulfil her.
duty, but she most signally fails
nit, and the failure is truly de-.
plorable. = There can be no sadder
sight than that Of q broken down,
or over-worked wife and mother.
"a woman who has tired aIl Of
her life through. IF the work OF
the household cannot be accom-
plished by order, system, and
moderate, without the necessity,
of wearying, heaH-breaking toll
toll that is never ended and
never begun, without making
life a treadmill of labor, then for
the sake of humanisylet the work
go. Better to live in the midssof
disorder than that order should
be purchased at Sc .higha price
the cost of health, strength, happi-
ness, all that makes existence en-.
durable. Z
The woman that spends her
life in unnecessary labor IS, by
this very labor, united for the
highest duties. She shonid be q
haven of rest to the home to
which both husband and children
turn for peace and refreshmens.
She should be the careful, inteiii-
gent adviser and guide of the one,
the tender, con6dant and helps
mate of the other. How is it pos
sible for q woman exhausted In
body, as a natarals consequences IN
mind also, to perform either Of
these Offices? No, it is notpossi.
BILE. The constant strain is too
great. Nature gives sway to it.
She loses health and spirits and
hopefalness, and more than al,
her youth, the last thing . woman
should allow to slip from her; for,
no matter how old sbeis in years,
she should be young in heart and
feeling, for the youth Of agesis
sometimes more attractive than
youth itself.
To the overwoyked woraan this
green old age is out Of the ques-
ton old age comeslen her, :sere
and yellow, before its time. Her
disposition is ruined, her temper
is soured, her very nature is
changed BY the burden which. too
heavy to, carry, is dragged about
as long as wearied feet and tired
hands can do thrir part. Even
her affections are blunted, and
she becomes merelya machine--a
woman without the time to be Z
womenly, a mother withoutth the
time to train and guide her chil-
dren as Only a mother can, a
wife without the time to SYM
pathize with and cheer her hus-
band, a woman so overworked
during the day that when night !
comes her sole thought and most
intense longing is for the rest ard
sleep that very probably will not
come; but even fit should, that
she is too tired to enjoy. Better by
far let everything go unfinished,
TO live as best she can, than to en-
tail on herself aud family the
- .
curse of foverwork.

are roses of lace, fine machine

expensive, the attendant leaves
being of white velvet traced with

rich costumes separate figures of

LEAF FROM MELvILLE's HIsToRY OF THE
JEANETTE DISASTER. Toward the latter part
of May, 1850, the fires in the stoves of the
the cabin and forecastle were discontinued
between A. NJ and p NJ. To avoid the
expenditure of the coal in the galley the tea
water was heated on the cabin and forecastle
stoves. About June the decks were cleared
up, the ship was painted the running gear
was attended to and the ship got ready for
sea. About July l long leads of water began
to make in all directions, but none making
directly in toward the ship. 1t was impossi-
BILE to travel more than a mile in any direc.
ton without the use of boat, or as the hun
ters managed it, by padding across the leads
of water on piece of ice. About this time
Mr.. Chipp and the captain discussed the pos
sibility of blasting the ice between the ship
and the nearest lead to which the ship could
be worked, and the conclusion they came TO
WAS that there was not powder enough in the
ship to effect it, Mr.. Chipp was directed to
make torpedoes. He devised fuses and iso-
lated wire for torpedo purposes, to be used
with what powder he had, provided the leads
made closer to the ship. Later in the season
the ice thawed astern of us, making short
lead nearly at righ: angles TO the line of the
ship, but not leading into any of the main
leads. The ships foretoot was resting on a
large sunken hoepiece, which it was supposed
at the time might strain the ship and open the
old wound in her forefoot An effort was
made TO heave the ship astern into the open
water. An immense mass of ice was remov.
ed from under her counters, the people work
ing up to their waists in water. Finally the
ship was hove astern a short distance, the
large hoepiece rising under her bows. The
ship settled down on nearly an even keel and
the leak in the bow was closely watched. 1t
was found to have increased considerably
As there was still piece of ice under her
forefoot it was thought best to let the ship
lie as she was. In November the old routine
was put in force, including the customary ex-
ercises on the ice and the examination of the
officers and crew by the medical officers
During this winter, as well as the previous
one, the people amused themselves as they
saw best during the two hours exercise on
the ice, walking, hunting or kicking football
The officers read more than during the prev-
Gus winter and there appeared to be less play
ing of games among them, none of them seem
ing to be in as good spirits as they were the
winter before. The life was dull and monot-
onous. Even the capture of a fox was hardly
considered thing of interest. There was
very little movement of the ice during the
fall and winter of 1880 aud the ship lay very
quietly in her bed. On New-years eve, 1881,
the crew gave a minstrel entertainment in the
deck, house, at the termination of which the
captain made an address commencing their
good behavior and cheering them on to do as
we'll in the future as they had done in the
past. He told them there had been no troub-
le among them, no man had been punished,
and he hoped that next year all would be at
their homes.

The JEST AND LAUGH IN BATTLE.-In the
midst of danger soldiers are sometimes prone
to Jest and laugh, and even play practical jokes
on each other, as the following anecdotes will
show; During the trenoh-work before Sc
bastopol there was a certain man in the regi-
ment who disliked being ON duty in the trench
es, and who always got into what he consider
ed the safest corner of the trench and remain
ed there as long as he could The bugler of
his company, malicious urohin, soon found
this out, and was constantly in the habit Of
playing tricks to frighten his cautious COM
Tade. He would peep over the parapet and
call out "a shot !" aud then turn around to
see his friend roll himself together like ball.
At other times he would call out "a shell 7"
of which he knew the man had mortal dread !
and when he saw him throw himself fiat on
the ground, he would take piece of earth or
a stone and throw it close to his recumbent
friends head, and then run up and comfort
him by showing him a bit of an old shell
which he had picked up for the purpose, re-
marking at the same time; "That was a
near thing, man" All the men knew and en-
joyed the joke, and sometimes roared with
laughter. but it was well for the urchin that

To BE FRAMED AND HUNG UP.-One of the
veterans of Wall street was the other day CIV
ing some fatherly advice to one of his clerks,
about to be married, and in closing his SER
mon he said: Directly after the ceremony
there will be a banquet, of course. When
your wife turns her plate, she will find a check
for $50 600 under it," "Do you really think
80 ?" "Oh, know it that's the prevailing
style now a-days. The check will be passed
around, and finally given to you to pocket"
"And next day will draw the money on it,"
"Oh, no, you won't" why notF "Be-
cause there won't be any to draw. Don't
make dolt of yourself by rushing to the
bank" But 1 thought" mo matter
what you thought Save the check to frame
and hang up. When was married, thirty

Swiss paper describes the fearful storm
which wrought such havoc in the Grindelwald
on the 27th of October. 1t began to blow at
4 o'clock in the morning and continued for
twenty -four hours with terrific violence. Its
like was never before experienced. The
heaviest roof stones were blown of like chips.
Lumps of rock weighing 100 pounds were
sent spinning through the air like cannon
balls in battle. Inside the houses there was
no safety, outside nobody could live. Win
dows were blown in, roofs carried away and
many families fed in terror to their cellars.
In the afternoon few brave men, at the risk
of their lives, went on the roofs and tried to
pair damages. But it was impossible to do
anything. As fast as they replaced the stones
they were dislodged and several of the men
thrown to the ground AT night the gale ra-
ged still more fercely aud tremendous rain
fall set in.

A Big GOLD BAR.-In the Bank of Californ-
ia yesterday on the floor in front of the coun-
ters was displayed a very tempting object in
the shape of a gold bar, weighing 5l15
pounds and valued at $114, 600. The dimen-
sions of the bar are, fifteen inches in length,
seven inches deep, and six inches broad.
The gold is the result of a twenty days run in
the North Bloomfield Hydraulic Mine in Ne
vada county. 1t is the largest ever cast in the
United States, and, as far as known, in the
world, and as two crucible molds have to be
used in the casting, the mystery is how such
perfect and smooth bar could be turned out
Quite number of people, who came for a
look, we're told they could have the bar if they
would carry it away. 1t is useless to add the
bar is still there. Francisco Call, I'd.
