Woman and Her Resources.

Women need to cultivate their own re-
sources more. There are some who early
recognize the difference of value between the
perishable and imperishable things of this
earth. Every valuable possession has its ad-
ded care and expense. People who We're once
in moderate circumstances, or poor, even,
who grew wealthy, look back upon the old
life as freer from cares, and happier; yet, IL
they We're TO go back to their early and simple
style of living the world would severely criti-
else them. Every woman needs TO keep up
her list of old friends, and 10 make new ones,
too; the family and children cannot meet all
the wants that middle-aged people must have
for friendship. Net any woman Il so busy
but that she can find time TO write an occa-
sional letter. If the friend TO whom she owes
a letter would come to see her, she could lay
aside work and talk 10 her, and urge her to
stay longer. One can stop on the street at
the risk of taking pneumonia in winter, to
talk to a friend for half an hour, and why
cannot friends be civil when they do not

A Trial Trip.

A stone-cutter whose office ad-
joins his stone yard, was seated in
his office when a friend called upon
him and they discussed several top
les together, among them the ques-
tion as 10 what extent lager beer was
an intoxicant. The stone cutter
maintained that beer was not intox-
icating, while his friend maintain
ed the opposite. The stone-cutter
said, there is man at work in the
yard (pointing to brawny-chested
Germany who could drink bucket
(three gqllons) of beer at one sitting
and feel none the worse for it.. The
friend doubted, and a wager was
made and the workman called. who
when asked if he could drink that
bucket (pointing to large water

from Maplewood, and he had hoped
that for mere nominal sum he
might in time be able to purchase
the estate but his hopes were
crushed when 1 appeared to him
with the proofs of his work in my
possession.
If he had thought to deny any
thing, very soon convinced him
that had travelled, and seen the
world, and that all attempts at fur
ther deception would be worse than
useless. To save himself from
public trial and certain condemna-
ton, he showed me how he had ar
ranged wooden troughs rnder the
ewes, and deep down in the cellar,
in which to roll cannon balls for
the production of thunder and he
showed to me other speaking tubes
leading from single point below to
the various points above, by means
of which he could cause the same
voice to sound in different parts of
the mansion at the same time. He
confessed, also, that his wife, and
his sons wife, often appeared to fe-
male guests in ghostly guise, which
accounted for my wife's fright upon
the landing.
I sent for Lille Atherton, and in
the depth of gratitude forthe regain
ed estate she allowed Seth Dabney
and his family to depart unwhipped
of justice; and we heard no more of
them.
And so joy and peace came to
dwell in in the old mansion, and
the broad acres of Maplewood
bloomed with renewed beauty and
the only shock which followed the
disclosure of Seth Dabney's diabol-
ism was the shock to those dear
lovers Of the marvellous who had
thus lost prop to their faith in
ghosts.

and every tissue Of tho body and the en-

of reptiIlain life. it is only these parasites
Of the brain in exaggerated size. 1t is
not a mere Authorization that the victim

and other crimes ? Oh, WHO will be
able to answer at the Judgment seat of
Christ Why have laws and have
them broken and set aside II that
course is to be the rule, then commit
the Statutes to the flames. and not cause

The next week he sold his corn at five
cents below the market price. Then his
property was sold for taxes because he
he didn't know when they We're due.
He was then arrested and fined eight
dollers for going hunting on Sunday,
simply because he didn't know it was
Sunday. He then paid q big lrishman
to kick him oil the way to the newspaper
office, where he paid for four years, sub

sign an agreement to knock him down
and rob him if he eve ordered his paper
stopped again. Such is life without a

Manners are Of more importance than
laws. Upon these, in a great measure,
the laws depend. The law teaches us
but here and there, and now and then.
Manners ARE what vex or snothe. or
corrupt or purify, exnlt or dehase, bar
barrie or refine us, by constant, steady,
uniform, insensible operation like that OF
the air we breathe in. They give their
whole form and color to II lives.
According to their quality they aid
mortals, they supply laws, or they
totally destroy Edmund Burke
