The Mistress of the Waite HOnse to
 Gir!s.

The following is an extract from an article by Miss Elizabeth Cleve. land: 1T wish some strong. bright angel stood before you just now, while you read, girls, to flash be- fore you, as no words or mine can, the power you possess 10 help or to hinder the cause of temperance; to make you feel your responsibili- ty, because you are girls, in this matter; to shudder at it's weight, and to never cease trying to fulfill it. Doubtless you have heard a great deal about the value of your | frowns and the importance of knowing just what to frown upon. What man must do by blow a woman can do by frown. When the time comes that the young man who now shares his time in your society and the saloons, who jokes about temperance in your presence and takes glass socially, now and then, is made. to feel that these things cannot be if you are to be his companion at party. ride or church; that good society cannot tolerate these things in its mem. bers; in short, that this kind of man is unfashionable and unpopu- lar, then alcohol will tremble on it's throne, and the liquor traffic will hide it's cankerous face"
Nevada County picayune., 1886-03-10
Happiness at isDmc.

Dress is one of the little things that refiae character. A refined woman will always look neat; but on the other hand she will not be- dizen and bedsick herself with a view to display.
 A lazy mistress makes lazy srrv- ants, and, what is worse, lazy mother makes lazy children.
 One secret of pulling together well in the matrimonial harness is not to interfere with what does not concern us. A man who can trust hls wife should no mere med de with her home concerns than she should poster him with ques- tions about his business. Each in his or her own sphere.
 Scratching for domestic happi- ness would not b. ts unsuccessful as it is with some people if they were not continua, ,ly finding fault.
 Husbands should know the value and the difficulty of tho work of their wives, and should never for get that a little help is worth a great deal of fault finding.
 More open air amusements and more indoor gravity would save a great many failing brains and en- feebiecd hearts.-EX.
Nevada County picayune., 1886-03-10
The Mother.

There is something in sickness that brcaits down the pride of manhOod-that softens the heart and brings it back to the feelings ef infancy. Who that has lan- guished, even in advanced life, in sickness and despondcncy; who that has pined on weary bed in the neglect and luneliness of fer eign land, but has thought of the mother "that looked on his child ho0d," that smoothad his pillow, and administered to his helpless, ness? Oh, there is an eudearing tenderness In the love of a mother 10 son, that transcends all other affections of the heart! IL is neith- CT to be chilled by selfishness, nor daented by danger, Tor weakened by worthlessness, nor stitled by ingratitude. She will sacrifice ev- cry comfort to his convenience: she will surrender every pleasure to his enjoyment; she will glory in his fame, and exult Tn his prosperi- ty, aud, if misfortune overtske hlm he will be dearer 10 her from the misfortune; and if disgrace settle upon his name, she will still love and cherish him in spite of his dis grace; and if all the world beside cast him off, she will be all the world to him.-Pine Bluff Con- mcrcial.

A Wise Captain.

A Nantucket steamboat captain was once asked by a passenger on his boat how much ardent spirits he used.
 He replied, "I never drank a teaspooniul of rum, brandy, gin, cider, wine or beer; l never smok- ed or snufed, and never drank tea or coffee"
 "But," said the passenger, what do you drink with your breakfast"
 "Cold water" was the answer,
 "And what with your dinner"

A Religious Affair.

"There was a very sad case in police court this morning. said a lawyer to his wife. "A girl was arrested for stealing fine lace veil. The woman who owned the veil came to court; and, with heart lessness, presisted in prosecuting the poor girl. The judge, howerer, wold not allow himself to be in- iluenced, so he releaed the girl"
 "She did not prove that she vas innocent, did she2"
 "Oh no.'
 "Then why did the judge release herr"
 Well, Ire said that he had no right to interfere with religious matters.'
 Religious matters!'
 "Yes, he said that the laws of the land grant to every woman the right to take the veil"
 The woman did not reply for several minutes. Then she said: "I know a woman who married q fool. I'm the woman"
Nevada County picayune., 1886-03-10

"I never was sick in my life," was the ready and glad reply.
 He was wise captain. He was accustomed to exposure in all sorts Of bad weather. wind and storm, and rfe- CT believed in the foolish notion that he must take drop of spirits to "keet out the cold '
 Cold water was the drink of Ad- am in Paradise. Cold water was the drink of the children of Israel in the wilderness. It was also the drink of Samson, and of Daniel, and ofJohp the Baptist It is the best drink for you.-Little Sower.

Came Very Near It.

"A miss is as good as a mile. z the provcrb ays--but it is comical to hear how some persons shorten the "mile" wien telling the story of their exploits. The hunter who "almost killed'a bear, had simply fired at the beast and ran away; and the man who "Sho came very near" being Governor of the State had received one vote in the nomi- mating convention.
 "No,n said Kentuc c'ian ill re- sponse to . question, Il never ac- tually fought a dueL but I came very near it once."

Wales Doolittle, the Bethany Conn ] farmer who beat w. II Ford so that he died, is decended from Reuben Doollttle. Who was well known as the strongest man in Connecticut and a remarkable wrestler. Men came from distan. ces to throw him, but all failed. Once stranger arrived at Reu- ben's on this errand.
