SHE TOOK THE CAKE.

A Western member of Congress who

SOUTH JERSEY BEAUTIES.

There is no place Of its size in the State
that can boast of a greater display of fe-
male loneliness than II city: even the
matronly dignity and grace as well as fine
features of our married ladies as they are
seen upon the streets and in public gath
erings are subjects Of complimentary re-
marks. The stranger, visiting our churches,
is struck with the large proportion of fea-
lures of classic mold to be observed among
the matrons Of all classes, and their strik-
regularity and intellectual cast. This is
the more striking among those of the old
families, whose ancestors belonged to the
locality. 1t is to be accounted for, per-
haps, to a large degree in the climate and
kindred influences of South Jersey. There
is nothing of rlggcdness in our scenery
no mountain gorgcs nor wild and towering
forests-no overhanging hills o vast
plains-no startling dangers from the ele-
ments Of the climate or ruggedncss of the
country. 1t is not, therefore, to be won
dored at that our women are possessed Of
a type of beauty not found in many parts
OF the country.-Bridgeton Chronicle.

ON DEATH.

"We come into the world crying, with a
chorus of groans; we go ont of the world
singing, with a chorus of joy, and to die is
NOT halfas painful as to be born. Old men
die as apples drop from the bough; they
are ripe, therefore they fall. Those that
die by violence never know it. Death is
not dreadful. A man suffers more through
one tooth than III dying with his whole
body. Men carry little pills in their
stomach with dyspepsia and Indigestion,
and gulp oceans of hideous medicine, every
mouthfIl of which is worse than dying.
Now and then men die crazy. Now and
then men die seeing angels: they don't see
them. And now and then men die seeing
devils; they don't see them. And a ply
stefan will tell you that the good and the
bad die about alike, and that men as a rule
go out of this life through a gate which
has oiled hinges.
THE morbid consideration of dying is
worse than the foolish, and to live as il
one expected to die tomorrow is the
greatest folly in the world. The men that
live only in to-day are savagcs. We are
told to live as if we wanted to at once
appear before God. What nonsense. ]
wouldn't want to appear before God as |
am when Just u of bed or when under
the care of a physician had taken an
emetie; it is common sense run mao to say
this. What | mean by ready to die, is be
ing ready to live right, and the man that
has grace to live right need not be
troubled but what he will have grace &c
die right"

WHY PEOPLE STAY AWAY FROM
CHURCH.

The fact that so many people stay away
from the churches implies that they nave
tried the ministers and have found no bene-
fit from their ministrations. Preaching
that tells and helps is a far more difficult
business than most preachers ever dream
not touch the religious nature OF mar unless
a sound heart and a strong life are back of
them. As a rule preachers are good men,
but it takes a very good man to preach in
in a way that rests and inspires the human
soul. And one great reason for the alarm
ing absence from the churches is that min
listers do not often enough rise to the glory
of their calling and hence do not
touch human nature according to its needs.
A careful survey of the history of any
city or town for a quarter of a century will
reveal the fact that the preachers of really
brilliant minds have always had their
churches full. 1t will also reveal the fact
that preachers of sterling manhood, large
hearts and clear sincerity have had large
audiences and have been deeply loved. 1t
is true at this hour in any part of the
world. And NJ unkindness to ministers is
meant when it is said that SO many empty
churches are at once a proof of bad man
agcment in the placing of the churches and
Of the incompetency Of the ministers who
preach to empty pews. In religion, as in
everything else, the people are glad to well
come whatever docs them good.-Fzaa.

the fault Of the girl, but Of the age, Of the
civilization. A hundred years ago it was
different. but in a large city the transposi-
ton will not thrive, and the men who
would make good husbands know it.
Here's another reason why. so many
times, the right people cannot marry.
There are ON every list of acquaintance
young men who are o~yerburdened. They
have not only their own way to make but a
mother or family of young brothers and
sisters to provide for and educate. The
duty is obli9atory-morc, it is natural.
And what is the result? His vitality is
sapped, his youth hampered, and, persevere
as he viii, he cannot keep ahead of the de-
mands unless he meets with extraordinary
luck. The older the burden gets the
greater is its weight, and often desperate
efforts are to be made to give the children
a footing in the world that will secure them
independence.
'By the time the brother or filial son is
40 his youth is behind him, the best part
of his life has been sacrificed ON the altar of
family, and if he expects to marry a new
fight for existence must be opened. Usu-
ally he doesn't make it. He is soured at
his lot, tired in body and soul, and he cares
very little what the future brings. If lie
can afford it he drifts into club life, or
maybe he marries for money in order to
secure a comfortable refuge for his old age.
This is not imaginary, it is the picture of
hundreds. have lived such a youth my

~CuILDREN's JOYS.

The children's world is full of sweet surprises;
Our common things are precious in their
sight;
For them the stars shine, and the morning
To show new treasures of untold delight
A dance of bIuebells In the shady places;
A crimson flush ofsunset in the west;
The cobwebs, delicate rs fairy laces;
The sudden finding oft wood-bird's nest.
Their hearts and lips are full of simple praises
To Him who made the earth divinely sweet;
They dwell among the buttercups and daisies.
And find His blessings strewn about their
feet.
But we, worn ont by days oftoil and sorrow,
And sick of pleasures that are false and
vain,
Would freely give our golden boards 10 borrow
One little hour of childhood's bliss again.
Yet He who sees their joy, beholds our sad
ness;
And in the wisdom of Fathers love
He keeps the secret of the heavenly gladness;
Our sweet surprises wait for us above,
-Sordh Doudney, in christian al Fork.

MARGARET'.

Beauty she had not, neither place nor state;
Not hers the gracious gifts that women
prize,
In learning of the schools she was not wise !;
She was not anything The world calls great.
Yet in the quaint old southern city where
She lived and wrought, in. polished marble
set,
Comrade ofJaekson. Clay and Lafayette,
Her statue rises clean and white ana fair.
Who was she, thus to win such comradeship +?
Who was she to be thus immor.alized
With the beloved, honored, idolized?
Great names forever on History's lip.
A woman who made bread, who at her stall
Or by her bake shop door sat day by day,
Selling her wares in simple, honest way,
A very humble woman-that was all.
Bat everywhere the orphan children say,
'sShe was our MOTHER and the city's poor
Cry out, "'rwas she who blessed our hapless
door"
While from the past the soldiers blue and
gray
Do speak her praise, and every noble cause
Declares she was our helper: every need
Whispers she knew not any class or creed,
But listened always to loves higher laws.
And so she died, and So the people set
Amid their heroes-with n proud consent
This simple woman-crowned monument,
And carved thereon the one word Margaret.
o gracious city, he who runncth reads
Your pride in patriotic fire, in martial fame:
But in the place you give this humble name
You prove your faith in loves diviner deeds.

HINTS FOR TIE HOUSEWIFE

In case Of a burn or seald, the essential
thing is to exclude the air from the in
jured member as quickly and completely
as possible. This may be accomplished by
immersing the injured part in water not
too cold, then, as quickly as may be, cover
with flour to the depth Of an inch, if possi-
bic, Withdrawing the burned part from tile
water only as fast as the flour can be sup
Piled, thus preventing pain. Caution:
Never apply cotton wool or cotton batting
to a burn, and do not use soda on a burn,
unless the skin remains whole.
Boil potatoes in sailed water-one quar-
Of water and one tablespoonful salt for six
large potatoes. Cook until soft, but not
broken. Drain and dry out. When
mealy beat them thoroughly with a fork,
add salt to taste. and serve at once piled
lightly on a dish. When nicely done you
will decide that these are rightly named
''snow potatoes
A novelty in scrap baskets is made of
wooden buckets. Well cleaned paint buck
cts would do as well as any. 4 wide space
around the top and bottom is nicely gilded,
and the middle part covered with a broad
band of plush or velvet, either ornamented
or plain. The cover, if one is wanted, can
be treated to correspond.
A very soft and pretty fringe for home
made rugs is to be obtained by r~aveling out
the good parts of old stockings and nit
tens. The crinkled appearance is its
pretty feature, and it lasts for years under
ordinary wear. Excellent effects are OBJ
tanned by mixing the colors.
We wonld caution consumers of canned
goods against allowing the contents to re-
main in the cans after they are once opened.
In case of meats, the same care should he
given to them as if they were freshly

from Laurence.
''Let me write to her. Give me her adj

can, forgive met
But looking VI, Sue found herself alone.
He felt it unworthy Of his manhood to
meet Sues confession with reproach, and
he could not yet forgive the cruel mischief
that had gwen him So many months of
acute suffering and probably tortured
Adela as kcenly.
The poor girl whose love of merry pranks
had cost her so dear, crept to her own room
to weep over the lost happiness, while
Laurence IIalstcad carried his burden to
his mother for counsel and loving sympa-
thy.
Early the next day Sue was sitting in
her " room with a book in her hand. in
whose pages she vainly strove to interest
herself, when Mrs. Halstead came to her
side. Burning bushes rose to the young
girls check as the older said kindly:
81 have come to thank you, dear, for
your courageous confession, and to assure
you that Adela shall never know from
Laurence or myself who was the author OF
the girlish mischief | am sure you are
heartily sorry for having committed.
Laurence has gon to Baltimore. He
could not wait for the mails delays, but
has gone to tell Adcla of his regret for
ever having mistrusted her.
81 can never tell you how sorry | am .
Sue said very humbly.
II am sure of it,; and Laurence bade me
tell you he could never sufficiently respect
your truthful courage in making so pain
full a confession"
a few weeks later Laurence Halstead
and his bride returned to c.. They are
cordial friends of Sue Darlington; but
though she has conquered her love for
Laurence, Sue can never forget that the
sore wound her heart received was due
only to her own folly in 9erpetrating a
piece Of mischief that almost wrecked the
happiness of two lives.
