Quiet Women.

Nervous, enthusiastic and talkative
women are the foam and sparkle; quiet
women the wine of life. The senses
ache and grow weary of the perpetual
glare and brilliancy of the former, but
turn with a sense of security and re-
pose to the mild, mellow glow irradia-
ting the sphere of the latter.
We associate all ideas of rest with
quiet women. They are the soul divin-
tiles reverently guarding their sacred
trusts in the Court of Silence. The
quiet woman moves in an atmosphere
ofbenignant grace. Appealing, strong,
compelling, her pure life is petition or
prayer. When she speaks, her words
are aptly chosen and fifty spoken. She
is wise and thoughtful, but loving and
meek. "Still waters run deep" but
not in the worldly applied sense; bab-
bling rills do not wear their channels
deep, but streams of calmest flow have
hidden depths undreamed of, uDsus-
pected.
The touch of a quiet woman's hand
magic, all the precious memories which
time has blotted from life's calendar of
years, and restores the beautiful lost
visions of childhood, when the rainbow
of mothers smiles spanned the rosy
horizon, and the young heart thrilled
the music of her lullaby as she rocked
us in dreams upon her pure bosom.
We confde in the quiet woman.
Truth encircles them as with halo,
and they give us constancy in return
for our faith. In sorrow, adversely, i'll
ness, the quiet woman isnurse, counsel
or and friend. She soothes, comforts
and caresses, and is the unfaltering
guide of the weak and unerring in
stincts. Into her steady and skillful
hands the physician trusts the spark,
we'll knowing that the faithful sentinel
will not tire in her watch, nor sleep
upon her post. She moves silently and
orderly; even her light garments falling
in soft, harmonious flow. She does not
irritate with questions, but surprises and
pleases by her unobtrusiveness and an
ticipations. She rarely speaks, but
when she does her tones are firm and
sweet and low, and linger upon the sick
and drowsy ear like the musical vibration
of murmuring waves. No other step
approaches so breezy and life-giving.
Such glory ofrepose surround her, and
her kisses, rarely bestowed, are like
benedictions. The love ofQuiet women
is imperishable. 1t has no butterfly
birth like the creature of fancy, retain
ing its gorgeous hues only while the
skies are sunny and the flowers blossom,
leaving in the eager grasp, when storm
clouds darken, a faded, dead moth,
with all the brilliant dust brushed from
its broken wings; but it is an amaran-
thine flowers, fadeless and fragrant
forever; whose germ is Immortality,
whose native soil is Heaven love all
sacrifice and devotion.

Riding a TrOtting Horse.

"The trot is the favorite gait for sad
die horses now. isn't it ?"
eyes, the trot and sometimes the
canter. The trot is preferable after the
rider has had some experience. At
first it seems rough, but there are three
ways of adapting yourselfto 1.-THE home
seat, the balance seat and the jockey
trot. The home seat is the country
boys style of leaning back in the sad
die, the balance seat is sitting upright
and receiving the jolts on the thighs by
pressing them close to the saddle and
the jockey trot is the springing up from
the saddle as the horse steps, so that
the rider doesn't feel the jolting at all.
The latter is the proper way and when
done right is both easy and graceful.
Yes, you have no doubt seen many
riders who were said to 'go faster than
the horse, but they hadn't learned the
jockey trot properly"
"Suppose horse should be suddenly
frightened and rear up with his rider,
what should be done to prevent his fall
ing DaCK T
"He should be given the reins. He
will never fall if he isn't pulled back.
When such accidents occur it's because
the rider in his excitement pulls on the
bit and makes the horse lose his bal
ance."
sis the upright riding we see in the
circus hard to learn ?"
'sIt would be for man or woman,
because the centre of gravity would be
too far away from the horse. All skill
full circus riders were taught when they
were children"
"Do you think it gracefula"
"No, it's unnatural and a mere ath-
letic trick to draw the crowd. Saddle
riding, on the contrary, isfull of grace:
There's no prettier sight in the world
than good rider on the saddle of a
spirited, well-trained horse.

Children are what their mothers are;
No fondest fathers fondest care

True Length of Life.

Oh, Father, in whose mighty hand
The bountless years and ages lie,
Teach us the boon of life to prize,
And use the moments as thy fly!
To crown the narrow span of life
With wise designs and virtuous deeds.
So shall we wake from deaths dark night
To share the glory that succeeds.

A butterfly bask'd on a baby's grave,
Where lily had CHANGED to grow;
"Why art thou here with thy gaudy dye
When she of the blue and sparkling eye
Must sleep in the churchyard low2"
Then it lightly soar'd thro' the sunny air,
And spoke from its shining tracks
"I was worm till won my wings,
And she who thou mourns't like seraph sings;
Wouldst thou call the blest one back?"

requested some four years ago to try your IRON
TONIC. Ihave since prescribed it freely and have
found its action of the best. 1t is unsurpass-
ed in anemia, general debility, indigestion, want
of appetite loss of strength, lack of energy reten-

Life's Mainsprings.

The massive gates of Circumstance
Are turned upon the smallest hinge,
And thus some seeming pettiest chance
Oft gives our life its after-tinge.
The trifes of our daily lives,
The common things scarce worth recall,
Whereof no visible trace survives,
These are the mainsprings, after all.

There is mission enterprise on the East side in New York with which is connected a school for cookery, the purpose bsing to teach poor young girls how to properly cook the homely dishes which constitute ths feod of the poor. Dr. Miles, of the UHiysrai!y of Maryland, very sensibly says concerning this matter: see in the use of intoxicating liquors among the workingmen that they do not have enough good food, and have to eke out with stimulants to force their systems to call into active use the food that is stored up in their bodies. There are millions of peo- pie in the world who are slowly starving. The best societies in the interests of temper ance would be societies to feed the poor bet ter. claim it is right that the poor have plenty to eat, and you should know how to cook it.

Vegetation on Hats.

Comment on Some of the Prevailing
 Styles in Hesdvear.
 The man about town looks with astonish- nsnt at the shows in the nilliners' shops (Rhore the moat wonderful novelties are to be found), his usual calm indifference to such things not being proof against the bril- liant spectacle, says fashion writer in the London Telegraph. Women crowd around the windows like wasps around honey pot. So far, they are in the first stage of rebel lious aatonishment; the mixtures of colors, the shape of the hats, the minute dimensions of some of the bonnets, the peenliarity of certain so-caIled decorations and the variety and irregularity of the bonnet forms attract, but do not satisfy or even please. Yet all the feminine world will have accepted them, and doubtless harmonies shapes and trim ming still more eccentric, before the season is over.
 A somewhat unhealthy taste for toadstools has already been commented upon in these coiumrs. The idea is more ridiculous than the reality, for suca fungi are for the most part so low in tone that their presence among the grasses and mosses, with which they are easily assimilated, does not jump to the eye as might be supposed It is visibIy more ab- surd to load spring hat of straw with red berried holly, or to place ripe corn in the ear on the bonnets of March and April. But green or variegated holly, with profusion of red berries, has such very smart effect, and it's application to midwinter is so thor ouehly understood Corn is more easy to acospt, although n4anifestly attribute of summer, especially when produced in so fan ciful manner as by modern florists, who now make is of gold or silver, now insert pearl grains in golden hush, now manufac- ture the former out of crimson velvet and the latter out of split quills or the whole out of satin; ia this way wheat, bearded barley, rye and Indian corn are prepared to the hand of the milliner-the golden hues of some suitiag the prevalent taste for JAl- low, the maize or fRwn color of others matching the various shades of champig- non, and the mixture of artificial coloring bsisg in accordance with the fancy of the moment.

LAW FOR sPECULAToRs.

case very interesting to brokers and those who speculate through them has just been decided by the Supreme court of Mas saohusetts. In this case broker sued customer to recover for the loss by alleged purchase and sale of certain shares of stock made by the plaintiff in behalf of the de- fendant. The stock alleged to have been bought and sold was one hundred shares of the St. Louis and San Francisco preferred, fifty of the St. Louis and San Francisco sec- ond preferred, one hundred shares of the San Pedvo, and forty-one shares of the Ps- cifc National bank. The defendant denied that he owed the plaintiff, end contended that the purchase of the St. Louis and San Francisco first preferred was void, because the plaintiffs themselves were the owners of the shares sold, and, acting as brokers for the defendant could not sell him their own shares; that the purchase of the second pre- ferred stock was void, because the plaintiffs acted for both parties, the purchaser and seller; that the plaintiffs had no right, in any event, to charge commissions on the pur- chase, as they received 8 commission en the sale; that the purchase of the Pacific Bank
 
 without authority; and that the contract was gaming and wagering, in that neither party expected or intended to transfer or deliver and pay for the stocks, but to settle the same at future time by the payment of differ ences as the stocks rose and fell.
 The judge instru cted the jury that if there were no actual purchase or sale of tocks, bnt only an undarekoudinc for fha v1oUu,anK of difference in prices, the transaction was gambling and the contract illegal. But it was lawful for person to order broker to buy stocks and hold them on a margin, and if he did not keep the margin good, the broker might sell and reimburse himself; and if the broker actually bought the stocks and held them it was good contract Brokers were bound to exercise reasonable skill in their duties. If they bought the stocks and had them transferred to themselves and held them for the purchaser, it was in accordance with law. If they pledged them for their own debt and had the power to redeem them, and could deliver them if called for. the con- tract was not illegal. They must always have the stock to fulfil the contract with the pur- chaser If 8 broker owns stock or has stocks of customer, and if he sells his own or the stock of another, and does not inform the party purchasing. and the purchaser does not know it, the party purchasing can repudiate the sale. and return the stock in ! reasonable time to the broker. The reason of the rule was that the broker was bound to I act for his principal. A purchaser might, ] however, assent to the sale and ratify it, and l would then, if he knew all the facts, be I bound. |
 After the very clear and interesting charge I of the judge the jury retired and brought l in 8 verdict for the broker.

It now seems probable that Congress will not adjourn without taking action upon the Bankruptcy bill. Senator Hoar has arranged to have the bill come up in the senate when the naval appropriation is disposed of, and it is believed that the Lowell draft, as perfected by the Judiciary committee, will pass with out substantial changes. Mir. Collins has also succeeded in obtaining unanimous con sent of the house Judiciary committee to move, on one week from to-day, that the rules be suspended, in order to fix day for considering the bill in the house. This vii require two thirds vote and may fail on that account, although Messrs. Ellis, Dor sheimer and Seney, who have canyassed the house, are reasonably confident of success. They feel sure of large majority and the power at least to take up the bill and pass it when it comes from the senate. There is no question that national bankru ptcy law is needed, and it is earnestly to be hoped that Congress will not fail to meet the need.
