/ Value Of Beauty.
ON the Philade lphia Call.

From The 4lHaaelps lia SJStlt, E!S&
Il The most lasting AMI valuable species
Inf beauty is that which is ) least evltivat.
ga. The young and capricio1ls miss,
with an elegant person and finely mod
eled face, illuminated by brilliant orbs
lind splendidly bedeeIed with dark,
shining locks very often destroys ',s,= the g
moral beauty of her nature merely to
llu NOR the perverseness Of her physical
attractions She trusts in the power or
her bodily charms, and she even refuses
to- provide herself WITH those Of 81 less
perishable nature which are not only
serviceable. while bodily beauty remains
but especiallyso when it is gone forev-
er. She brides herself in her wardrobe
of silk and satin, and would
encounter any species OF pain or
hardship to increase it and to
furnish herself with gold and with dia-
monds; but the wardrobe of the mind
and the heart she takes care to replen-
ish, as if young beauty were independ-
emit of this, and, if ste played her cards
we'll, might make her fortune without
it. 1T is time enough to begin to be
amiable when you begin 60 be ugly, say
some young ladies, or they seem to say
it. But nature Furnishes this perversity
in very striking and remarkable man
ner. They who refuse to cultivate the
moral beauty during the reign OF the
season of physical beauty lose the op-
portunity Of possessing themselves OF
it, and, moreover, they destroy their IA
vorite species Of beauty by their indie
pendeuce and neglect Of the other. The
temper imprints it's mark upon the coun-
| tenance, which very speedily reveals the
character of the disposition which turks
behind it. Being a growing power and
vigorous power, which is even strong
est at death, it gradually overcomes
every obstacle which stands IN the way
of it's own escape into outward observa-
ton. It wrinkles the brow, lowers the
eyebrows, bends down the curve OF the
mouth and pouts the lips, whenever it
happens to be a disagreeable nature and
it gives life and permanent animation to
all the lines of the face whenever its
course of feeling happens to be Of a
kind and generous character. 1t comes
out at last and shows itself, and once
shown and impressed upon the face, it
is there so long as it continues to act
from within, and that is generally for
life. It is no easy matter to begin to
| be aniable with an unamiahle express
sion of countenance and an unamiable
and fixed habit of behavior. Few have
strength OF will sufficient to make such
change in their mode Of life. It is
not bv a mere moral resolution that
such a conversion takes place We are
far more likely to become worse than
better when we find attraction Of the
person to cease after a heartless AID inn
perio7as reign Of saucy beauty. 1t is nc
easy task, indeed, to resign ourselves tc
our fate when our attractions have dis
appeared, and all at once to correct the
scovl and the frown, and the naughty
all and the satiricai grin, and the heart
| less sheer, which have already left their
| iulplints on the fAce ard made them
! selves quite at home i'll the very citadel

One Widows "Thirds. +"

Thirty years ago there came to this
State an industrious and thrifty Irish
family. There were the father, mother,
and three children, two daughters and
one son. Two other chrildren were
dead. They worked and saved, and in
due time bought lot, built a house,
and paid for both. A few years later
the husband fell i'll, and after months
of suffering, during which he was
watched over and cared for by his wife,
he died. Then the son, lingering for
months and nursed by his mother, died
of consumption. L heard the pitifnl
wall of the mother, 40 my two men
my two men," as the body of the son
was carried out of the house to be
buried. The hope of her life went out
when the two men died.
The house and lot were appraised q t
81, GOO. The husband left no will, so the
widow was entitled only to the use of
one-third. But the mother, with her
two daughters, lived on in the house.
After time one daughter married
The mother had been accustomed to go
out to wash or scrub, in addition 70
the work and care of her own family.
She was welcome in many houses for
her thorough work and her quiet ways
After the marriage of the daughter the
mother let part of her. house, in order
to add to her income, and still went
out for days work" Then the unmar-
ried daughter fell i'll, and for long
time received such nursing and care as
only mother can give. She, too, died.
Left alone in her house, the widowed
mother worked on, but increasing years
made her less able than formerly,
and stroke of paralysis made her help
less. Her son-in-law supplied her with
groceries. Not long ago he notified the
selectmen that this widow had used up
her thirds, and he asked the town to
support her. The sdectmen, with
thoughtful kindness, provided for her in
the house where she had lived so many
wears, and there she remains, O par

mother of five children, faithful

that the water in which green peas are

cacy of the further adoption in this
country of the French practice of using,
as potage, the water in which vegetables

been boiled. When we boil cabbage,
turnips, carrots, etc, we dissolve out of
them a very large proportion of their
saline constituents salts which are alb

separated from those acids by organic
combustion and is then and there pre-
sented to the baneful lithic acid of the

Mamma In the Wilderness.

Botanists and travellers have been
rather unsuccessful in attempts to as
certain the origin of different kinds of
mamma known in commerce. In the
valley of Gohr, to the south of the
Dead Sea, sixteen hours onward which
leads into long valley, Buckhart
found what he called mamma dropping
from twigs of several kinds of trees.
According to his representations, Arabs
collect it and make it into cakes, which
are eaten with their nauseous butter
made from the milk of sheep. They
churn it thus: A goat-skin is filled
with milk and suspended between two
poles, swung to and fro by pulling an
attached cord until it assumes q new
character-a greasy, soapy mass--and
that is Arab butter Mr.. Turner found
grove of tamarisk trees near Mt.
Sinai, in the valley of Farran, which
furnish what the monks call mama.
They were bushy, about ten feet high,
from which drops of sweetish thick
fluid ooZed. If taken early in the morn
ing, before the sun is up, it may be
kept in earthen pots a considerable
time 1t is used in lieu of sugar in
the convent. Commercial mama,
principally in the hands of druggists,
is product of the punctured stems of
the oy7aats Europa, growing in Gala
bria. An article very similar in ap-
pearance and medical properties is
procured in Sicily by the same kind of
process. Both have sweetish taste,
are soft, of pale yellowish color, and
used for their mild laxative quality rath-
er than food. From the foregoing facts it
is very clear there is not the slightest
resemblance to that extraordinary nu-
tritious article which was miraculously
provided for the children of Israel in
barren wilderness on memorable
occasion, while in their forty years

In Passing Through Some Fertile Valley

Or riding along the banks of some beautiful
river, whose shores were rich in evidences of
luxuriant vegetation, did you ever in the early
morning or the evening, notice mist hanging
like pail over the circumjacent land, and
then were you surprised to learn that malaria
was rife in that locality2 IL so, you were wofuly

Against the effect of that fever breeding vapor
there is safety, however. Hostetter's Stomach
Biters furnishes that safety, as the dwellers
