NORTH CAM BRIDGE.

Mrs. Lucy Richardson Warren died on
Friday, aged 81 years. The immediate
cause of her death was the effects of a
fall April IL. Mrs. Warren was born in
Maine April Is. 1895; was married to j.
S. Warren, of Sutton. Mass, in 1927.
They moved from there to- Vermont in
1880, and located on the south end of
what is now w. r. Parker's farm. In
1880 they purchased the farm now owned
by HI. B. Chase, where by industry and
economy they gathered sufficient of this
worlds goods to carry them safely and
happily through life. Mr.. Warren died
October 81, 1859. Shortly after that his
widow made arrangements to spend her
life in the family of her tried friend,
Perry Kinsley. Mrs. Warren had no
children, in fact no blood relation to fol-
low her to her last resting place. yet a
host of true friends sincerely mourn her
loss. Rev. E. Wheelock, pastor of the
Congregational church at the Boro,
preached the funeral services. OF the
character of the deceased we will only
say, that we have known her from our
childhood, and have never yet heard any
one say aught against her nor criticize
her quiet. unobtrusive kindly life. We
think it will be years before the children
here will forget Grandma Warren.

Charm Against Disease.

Many people fall i'll of a disease simply
through fear of it. The imagination has
q powerful influence on the human body.
One can very easily imagine himself to
oe catching cold, and will really catch
cold at the sight of an open window,
when if he did not know the window
was open, or was not afraid of its effects,
he would escape the cold. Doctors I'M
derstand this secret, but they do not i'm
part it to their patients. Most invalids,
real or supposed, would be angry if a
physician would say to them, nothing
ails you only thinks so." They prefer
to think themselves sick, and in time
they really become SO, for nature, though
she struggles hard cannot stand every
thing. Too many drugs will finally de-
stroy her healing power. These people
who love to have a box of white pills in
bottles, and a little book, all kept in some
handy place, so that when Il friend who
has eaten too much dinner says, ooh, I
am fearfully nervous!" they may run for
the little book, look for ''nervousness's
and administer so many pills of bryonia.
When they have a headache, instead Of
dieting or eating more moderately, they
take several drops of some nice poison.
They trust nothing to nature, but call in
a doctor for every little ,ailment, when
fresh air, exercise and strict temperance
in eating and drinking is all they need

A Troublesome Individual.

The employee who is afraid of doing
too much is not the sort who ever be-
comes very valuable to his employer or
to himself. His aim seems to be to do
just enough to W. him from censure OF
dismissal. He sauntcrs instead of walk
ing; he does everything with a sort of
lackadaisical air, as if he were perform
ing a great act of condescension in wait
ing upon you; he says Yes and no as if
every letter cost a dollar, and they were
the last he had; he gazcs out of the door,
away off yonder, while you ask him a
question, and then fortunes you with yes
or n o; he never condescends to correct
your mistakes, if you make one, or, if he
does, it is in the tone Of one vastly SUI
perior to your humble and unworthy
self, and excites in you a determination
to have as little to do with him as possible;
he makes all his preparations for depart
ure before the hour, so that not a minute
of his own time is lost; he does as he is
told, but no more; he never thinks of
how he can advance his employers in
t%erests, in some unbidden way, and has
not bralns enough to know that when
c~ult:vating the habit of thought of the
business of his employer, he is laying up
cayital and time when he shall start a
business of his own. There are many
such clerks as this, but may their tribe
diminish.

chineae tiIrls nnd Mntrimony.

English and American girls occasion
ally commit suicide through disappoint-
ment at not getting married; but it will
surprise them to learn that the Chinese
young ladies have such a dread of the
matrimonial chain that they frequently
prefer death to marriage 'sOf all
people, 7 said Confucius, women are the
most difficult to manage. If you are
familiar with them, they become forward,
and, if you keep them at a distance, they
become Disconnected" So many are the
disabilities of married women that many
girls prefer going into Buddhist or Tauist
nunneries, or even committing suicide,
TO trusting their future to men of whom
they can know nothing but from the in
terested reports of the go-betweens.
Arch Deacon Gray, i'll his work on China,
states that in 1878 eight young girls re-
siding near Canton, twho had been
affianced, drowned themselves in order
to avoid marriage. They clothed them
selves in their best attire, and at II
o'clock, in the darkness Of the night, hav-
ing bound themselves together, they
threw themselves into a tributary stream
Of the Canton River"

The British House Of Lords.

EGS DEfStCse A@Of ceEE%&2
An ordinary sitting of the House OF
Lords is a dull and dreary ceremony.
The hall is lofty, and in the dim light of
an English afternoon reminds n Of
some stately vault where the remains of
the ancestral institution may be imagined
to repose. A few struggling gentlemen
are seated on the benches, some numb
line remarks are made, ono antiquated
form gonc through in the darkness
new peer is perhaps presented IN his
robes, or a bill comes up.from the Com
nrons-and the august assembly adiourns.
The business of the House is carried on
by thirty or forty peers, and these, with
rare exceptions, maintain the debates of
the session. The uniformity of costume
Is broken only by the Lord Chancellor as
be enters or leaves with his robes and his
train-bearer, or the ghostly bishops who
sit on benches by themselves, In their
lawn sleeves. The mover and secondcr OF
an address that is offered to the queen at
the opening of every session are always In
levee dress-for they are supposed to
stand il, the presence of majesty, though
majesty never is there-but otherwise the
peers are plainly clad, the older ones. as
d rule, unfashionably, and more than half
of them wear their hats. All is dismal,
decorous, and funereal.

A .cung Lady's Idea of Marriage.

Here is an extract from the writings
OF Charles Reade, which will doubtless
be red with general interest: $50 she
was going to be married! to be mistress
of a house, settle in London; to be able
to go out in the streets all alone, to shop
or visit; have a gentleman all her own,
whom she could put her finger on any
moment, and make him take her about,
even to the opera and the theatre; to
give dinner parties her W self, and even
a little ball once in a way; to buy what
ever dresses she thought proper, instead
Of being crippled by al allowance; have
the legal right of speaking first in So
ciety, instead of sitting mum-chance and
mock-modest; to be mistress instead of
miss-contemptible title; to be a woman
instead of a girl, and all this rational
liberty, domestic power, and social dig
nifty were to be obtained by merely we'd
ding a dear fellow who loved her, and
who was so nice; and the bright career
to be ushcred in with several delights,
each of them dear toa very soul: presents
from all our friends; as many new dresses
as if one was changing her body, OF her
hemisphere, instead of her name; going
to church, which is a good English girls
theatre of displap and temple of vanity,
and there tasting delightful publicity and
and whispered admiratiod, in a heavenly
long veil, which she could not wear even
once if sh, ramain single"

The Paris Figaro, discussing the sue
cess OF Americans in French society, says:
"Let not u good Brother Jonathan
carry his head too high. 1t is not
through him, but through his charm
ing daughters, that American society has
gained its present proud position in Paris.
How captivating the American girl is in
society! From the moment when she
made her first appearance in the salons
of Paris she created a ferfect fulor. Her
engaging manners, her freedom from re-
s%traint, her familiar shake-hand at once
conquered that class of young men,
more numerous than most people mag
ine-who frequent doubtful society on
account of their excessive timidity when
in good society.
What can be more pleasant to an en-
barrassed youth in company than to
have the conversation started and carried
on by a pretty, chatty girl, totally de-
void of false modesty and awkwardness,
and having rarely, if ever, an arricre
pensee of marriage2 Nor can we on
eeive anything more pleasing for a young
MAI to be chaffed and frightened up, 50
to speak, by pretty girls-for SO the
American girl always is--who have none
of that stiffness and gaucherie, neither
the hands nor feet nor love of gaudy col
ors SO characteristic of their Anglo
Saxon Observation-Disclosures.

We learn that, when weighed shortly af-

HEAVIER than the leg of mutton provided
to be for the family dinner of that day; and
that a birch tree was planted In honor Of
his arrival, the taste of the twigs of which
he learned to know well. His early years,
as described in his mothers journal, re-
fected in miniature his character in ma
turer life. For facts, especially of natu-
raj history, he had from childhood a most
tenacious memory. AT four years of age
he began collecting specimens, and ct
seven he commenced a journal. Earlier

LADIES,
womsn Nrasaueradlne in sleep.

-
,A,thousand women sleep masked every
night in this city, says a New York let
ter. That is an estimate, but it is based
on facts that make it entirely trust
worthy. In n of the streets given over
to retail trade in women's decoration,
from the harmless necessary calico to the
vain, superfuous satin, from essential
coverings of feet with shoes to overlay-
ings of faces with cosmetics, there hangs
a signboard which tells that toilet masks
are sold upstairs. On entering | found
that a traffic was actually going on. The
article of humbug was a pliable mask,
made seemingly of cloth im~pregnated
with an oily unguent, and meant to be
worn on the face during bedtimes, with
the expectation that it would improve
the complexion. The false visage was in
q great variety of features and sizes, so
chat any m could get a snug fit, the
idea being that the skin of the entire
face should come into close contact with
the supposed medicament. The proba-
bility is that such a sweating of the skin
really produces s~oftncss and smoothness,
though exposure to the cold might easily
chap the tender surface, and thereby
more than spoil the gain. LEARNED to a
certainty that about two thousand masks
had been sold within a week, and it is
fair to believe that, with so many dis
tributed, at least a thousand women are
nightly using them.
