The exercise that Is best adapted 10
develop all parts OF the body In a nat
ural, healthy manner, Is domestic labor.
Ii Is always At hand; IL can be taken
regularly every day, aud there Is such
variety that almost every muscle can be
exercised. Housework should never be
considered mental or degrading; IL Is
natures laboratory In which the girl
may obtain not only the best physical
development but most valuable knowl-
edge that will fit her for the duties OF
life. This training may be supplement
ted by other kinds Of exercise, such as
walking aud outdoor sports. The very
general introduction OF foreign help
into domestic service has proved most
unfortunate for the health Of American
women.
Closely connected with this neglect Of
physical training at home IL an evil Of
great magnitude that Is, supreme devO-
tion to brain work. The practice pur-
sued very generally at the present day
Of confining the girl IN school or semi
nary for n series Of years coDsecutively
is attended with the most serious evils.
In the language OF most popular writer,
at is educating our girls 10 death"
While we would not discard education
L., all g,a y.,inuo Ja,artnauta .vt.nt-
ing to the bIgbest culture, we maintain
that IL is no advantage or blessing II It
Is to be obtained at the expense Of the
physical system. There are other parts
of the body besides the brain that need
faithful training. Tie highest accom-
pli-hments anG mental acquisitions will
not compensate for impaired constilu-
fiOns and poor health.

Shadowing, so called, is the most
difficult work Ia my profession. II
man is well shadowed for two weeks,
so much can be discovered concerning
Ills habits, his associates, his inclina-
tons, his secret acts, in short, his inner
life, that almost perfect biography Of
him can be written. Every man does
many characteristic things when he
thinks he is alone that he never would
do in company, and the shadow learns
n mans true character BY witnessing
his natural life. More people than you
Imagine have been shadowed for the In
formation of both friends and enemies.
Many curious and sometimes suspicious
wives have their husbands shado~ed,
and many husband has locked up In
his office desk a mirror OF his wife's pri-
vatc life in the form OF u shadow report.
Every man connected with u bank from
the president down. is shadowed. Large
business firms get periodical reports on
the private lives of trusted employees,
and know whether they drink or gam
BILE. Ii is hard work To shadow man.
You have To get up an hour earlier than
he does in order 10 get your breakfast
and lay for him at home. You follow
him TO his office, To lunch, or his busi-
ness rounds-everywhere. When he Is
on the street you never take yonr eyes
of him, and tell you this makes your
head swim. You follow him home TO
supper, aud down town again Ia the
evening. You note everybody he
speaks with aud every lady TO whom he
bows. You must stay with him ,ill he
goes to bed, and 10 write out your re-
port before you set To sleep. Men are
oftenest shadowed when they are In
trouble. and they rush there. talk TO
scores Of men, enter scores Of places
and get up early and 20 to bed late. A
good lively subject will lead the shad-
ow wild aud merry dance and two
weeks OF IL will wear good man out.

SHEPHERDSTOWN W. VA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY II, 1886.
The Forsaken Farmhouse.

Against the wooded hill II stands,
Ghost Of q dead home, staring through
It's broken lights on wasted lands
Where old-time harvests grew.
Unploughed, unsown, by scythe unshorn,
The poor forsaken farm-nelds lie.
Once rich and rife with golden corn
And pale green breadths Of rye.
or healthful herb and flower bereft,
The garden plot no housewife keeps;
Through weeds and tangle only left
The snake, its tenant, creeps.
A lilac spray, once blossom clad,
Sways bare before the empty rooms;
Beside the roofiess porch a sad,
Pathetic red rose blooms.
His track, in mould and dust OF drouth,
On floor and hearth the squirrel leaves,
And in the fireless chimneys mouth
His web the spider weaves.
The leaning barn about to fall
Resounds no more on husking ewes;
No cattle low In yard or stall,
No thresher beats his sheaves.
SO sad, 30 drear. 1t seems almost
Some haunting Presence makes Its sign;
That down yon shadowy lane some ghost
Might drive his spectral kline.
