LADIES' DEPARTM ENr.
Aneedots Of Mrs. Carlyle.

When Jane Welsh, who married
Thomas Carlyle. was girl, she was so
fun Of life and energy as to be match
for the boys in running and leaping.
One of the feats which made her fam
GUS in her native village was the ease
with which she could surmount a
wall seven feet high around the ceme-
terry. Years afterwards, when she
had become an old lady, she revisited
the village, but walked the streets
without being recognized by any of
the companions of her youth. A sin
gle action, however, betrayed her. She
had made an arrangement with
the sexton to be at the cemetery at
early morn to unlock the gate. She
was present earlier than the appointed
hour, and after some time grew i'm
patient, for she was eager to look
on the graves of her revered parents.
In her vexation at the long delay she
remembered the feat of her girlhood,
and though the suppleness of youth
had gone she managed to repeat the
feat with tolerable ease. One Of the
old residents saw it, and soon after,
meeting her vcntured to ask: as not
this Jennie Welsh? thought it must
be you, for there was never another
girl IN town who could get over the
wall in that fashion,"

The Greedy Hens.

One day l chopped up large plate
of meat and took it out to feed to my
hens.
There happened to be one piece
much larger than the others, having o
bone in it so could not cut it. AS !
set the meat before my hens, one
greedy one caught this large piece ana
ran off with it. Another hen wanted
the same piece, and ran after her to
see it she could not get it for herself.
While they were chasing each other
around the yard, trying to eat their
bone, which was too large for them t.
swallow. the other hens ate up all OF
the finely cut meat.
When the two hens got tired O.
quarrelling about the bone, they went
off and left it lying on the ground
They looked silly enough when they
came back and found the nice meat all
gone. They had lost their dinner
through their selfish greed.
1t seemed very foolish for thes,
hens to do as they did; but l have
known little boys and girls who a,
times do not act with any moro
wisdom.

Anecd0te OF President Harrison.

When Gen. Harrison was inaugu-
rated he was so full of the progress of
the old Roman emperors along the APP
plan Way that he refused to ride down
Pennsylvania avenue in a carriage, but
rode on horseback, hat in hand, bow
ing acknowledgements for the cheers
which greeted him. The weather was
very cold, with sharp northeast wind,
yet he wore neither overcoat nor
glove. Arriving at the Capitol he de-
livered his inaugural address, which
occupied an hour and half, from the
platform built over the eastern steps,
standing bareheaded, while those
around him, although covered and
well wrapped up, were nearly frozen.
When he had concluded he remount. d
his horse and rode to the White Hou Sc.
escorted by the military. 1t was evi-
dent that he wished to show that he
was not feeble, if he was old; but all
the physicians expected to hear that
he was seized that night by pneumo-
mia. He did not apparently suffer any
i'll effects, but months overtaxing of
his physical powers was too much. and
his lifeless remains were escorted along
Pennsylvania avenue with great pomp.

We recommend to all women who
are fortunate enough to have piece
of land at their command to cultivate
a vegetable garden, says an Exchange.
The culture of strawberries, raspber-
ries, blackberrics. gooseberries, cur
rants and golden vegetables is as de-
lightful and profitable as anything in
which woman can engage. She may
sprinkle her garden well with flowers.
All the better for that. A SNOWFALL

Gahlia bed there and a moss border
here, will not he out Of place. Only
let the substantial and useful consti-
tute the chief part. a touch of the
ornate, like ribbon on good bonnet,
is not in the least Objectionable. In
all the schools the girls study botany.
1t is healthful, pleasing and useful.
The principles of horticulture are the
principles Of botany put into practice.
Farmers study agriculture; why should
not their wives and daughters study
horticulture? The employment is both
healthful and pleasant. What woman
cannot raise beets, tomatoes, onions
lettuce, and furnish her own table
with them? What woman cannot
plant a raspberry bush. or currant, or
gooseberry, and attend to it well. The
experiment is both pleasing and pro-
itable.

7 he Heroic Mother.

We see household brought up well.
A mother who took alone the burden
of life, when her husband laid it
down, without much property, out of
her penury, by her planning and in
Gustry, night and day. by her fullness
of love, by her fidelity, bring up her
children; and life has six men, all of
whom are like pillars in the temple of
God. And 0, do not read to me of
the campaigns of Caesar; tell me
nothing about Napo.eon's wonderful
exploits; | tell you that, as God and
angels look down upon the silent his
tory of that woman's administration,
and upon those men-bnilding processes
which went on in her heart and mind
through score Of years, nothing ex-
tcrnal no outward development Of
kingdoms, no empire buildings, can
compare with what she done. Nothing
can compare in beauty, and wonder
and admirableness, and divinity itself
to the silent work in obscure dwellings
Of faithful women bringing their
children to honor and virtue and piety.

outside. The loom is more than the
fabric. The thinker is more than the
thought. The builder is more than the
building.-Henry Ward Beecher.

"Irather think not" said Charlotte

How TO Save Eoys.

Women who have sons to rear, and
dread the demoralizing influences of
bad associations, ought to understand
the nature of young manhood. 1t is
excessively restless. 1t is disturbed
by vague ambitions, by thirst for action,
by longings for excitement, by ire
pressible desires to touch life in mani
fold ways If you, mothers, rear your
sons so that their homes are associated
with the OPPRESSION of natural instincts,
you will be sure to throw them in the
society that in some measure can sup
ply the need of their hearts. They will
not go to the public houses at first for
love of liquor; very few people like the
taste of liquor; they go for the animal
ted and hilarious companionship they
find there. which they discover does so
much to repress the disturbing restless
ness in their breasts See to it that
their homes compete with public places
in attractiveness. Open your blind
by day and light bright fires by night.
illuminate your rooms. Hang pictures
upon the wall. Put books and news
papers upon your tables. Have music
and entertaining games. Danish the
demons of dizziness and apathy that
have so long ruled in your household.
and bring in mirth and good cheer.
Invent occupations for your sons.
Stimulate their ambitions in worthy di-
rections. While you make home their
delight, fill them with higher purposes
than mere pleasure. Whether they
shall pass boyhood and enter upon
manhood with refined tastes and noble
ambitions depends on you. Believe it
possible, with exertion and right
means, a mother may have more con-
troll over the destiny of her boys than
any other influence whateyer,--Spirit
Of the Farma
