Distinguished Old Maids. i.

Look at the list of old maids. Eliza

trious of modern sovereIgns. Her
rule over Great Britain comprised the
most brilliant literary age OF the Eng
lish speaking people. Her political
aeumen was put to as severe tests as
that of any other ruler the world ever
saw. Maria Edgeworth was an old
maid 1t was this woman's writings
that first suggested the thought of
of writing similarly 20 Sir Walter Scott.
Her brain might we'll be called
mother Of the Waverly novels. Jane
Porter lived and died an old maid.
The children OF her busy brain were
''Thaddeus of Warsaw" and The
Scottish Chiefs" which have moved
the hearts of millions with excitement
and tears. Joanna Bailie,, poe: and
Play writer, WAS lone of 'em.' Flor
ence Nightingale, most gracious lady,
heroine of Inkermann AMI Balaklava
hospitals, has, TO the present, written

who should marry her might we'll crave
to take the name if Nightingale. Sis.
ter Dora. the brave spirit of English
pest houses, whose story is as a helpful
evaDgel, was the bride of the worlds

could the writer and the reader add of
those whom the great world may not
know, but we know, and thee little

yond all worlds.

The Hot-Bed Sash.

Those living in the close neighbor-
hood Of the city have some excuse that
they have no need for hotSbeds to ad-
vance cIops ahead OF the usual time, as
everything is brought to their doors.
But the farmer, and those not so ac-
cessible, or who have not the money 20
pay out daily tor everything that may
be in the market, had better make use
OF this Old fashioned help to the gar
dener-the hot-bed. There are very
few negotiations that will stand days of
Gravel and exposure, and be as lsly as
those grown on ones own grounds or
in ones own neighborhood. They ans

The Vanderbilt Tomb.

1 saw Mr.. Pinkerton, who tells me
that every fifteen minutes each clock
placed in the Vanderbilt tomb is visited
by Pinkerton detective, two OF whom
are constantly on guard. One of these
detective patrols outside the tomb,
while the other is locked in and sits
behing the other bars with loaded re-
peating rifle across his knee ready fol
constant use. 1t woald be next to i'm.
possibles for any robber to get away
with the remains of William H. Van
derbilt so long as the tomb is protected
as /. is now. The Pinkerton men are
hired by the year, and there is quite g
little colony of them established or
Staten Island, very near the mausoleum
They keep eight or ten there all the
time, so that those OF duty at the grave
are retired at frequent intervals, and
are, therefore, not liable to fall asleey
at their post.

Tying on Ladies Shees.

Talking about tI2ing on ladies
Shoes" said clerk in. prominent shoe
store. lit Isone of the most delicate
and arduous that fall to the lot of a
salesman. Why the most innocent re.
mark may be construed into affront, and
clerk Gnd himself called TO account.
Have you ever noticed that a boot and
shoe man does very little talking ?"
do you mean in selling goods ?''
Yes. Some years ago clerk in a
New Orleans shoe store lost his life for
paying lady a compliment about the
sixe of her foot ?''
''Are Detroit ladies as sensitive on
the subject. p
''It requires very nice discrimination

some ladies come here who possess re-
markab!y beautiful feet, and it would
be worth nay place if 1 made any re-
mark about them Then others-just
as fast;dious in all respects-will ex.
pect little we'll directed isttery in

others will treat US exactly as if we

feet are so tendsr they want to wear q

SANDER.

Nothing is more common in society
thar repetition OF conversation and
the comments made by ones friend on
another Nothing is more dishonest ;
nothing alas more common than the
repetition OF the commentary, meant TO
be good natured. on an absent friend,
made with all the sugar left out.
Sometimes The very change OF an ac-
cen. or a word may constIue perfect
ly innocent remark into an attack.
This is bearing false witness ;" 1t
is the objectionable sin, for while such
a person is keeping within the limits of
truth, she IS really conveying a lie.
Such are the most dangerous SANDER
ers. the sweet-yoiced, smiling people,
who carry rattiesnake in their bosoms.
a hidden dagger in their tongues.
II is not easy to tell the unvarnished
truth, as every lawyer will assure US.
Those who are in the habit of taking
evidence find what shiliy shallY thing
human observation is 20 start with, and
again, what a tIeacherous is language !
The faculties vary. Then the mind of
some good men and good women is alb
solutely without an intellectual percep-
tion o. the truth. We have known
some mer and women, excellent moral
characters, who never told the truth in
their lives. They do not know how.
Therefore, the habit Of making a
statement favorably or prejudiciaI to
character does with such people, depend
on the charitable or malicious feeling of
the moment.
We-are innocent while we absorb
scandal, while we sit silently and hear
our friends abused ? Should we not
soften down the rumor, disbelieve half
of it, give the unfortunate the benefit
of a doubt ?
Would it not be the safest excess.
therefore, TO always say of everybody,
behind their backs exactly what we
would say 10 their faces.
"If you would with percision sp eek
Five things observe with care,
To whom you speak, of whom you speak
And when and how, and where"

The Sewing Machine.

There is hardly any piece OF house

causing so much veIation as the sew

reduced the sewing machine.
When any portion of the mechanism
fails to respond correctly, it is usually
from some very trihing cause. and The
hrst endeayor should be to find out ex-
actiy what is the matter. To become a
master In the art of repairing sewing
machines, it is requisite to understand
the principles upon which the stitch is
formed and the work; fed. Very little
manual skill is really needed. The
breaking of thread or needles and the
skipping of stitches are due, nine times
out OF ten. to the loosening of some
screw, allowing some part to become
slightly displaced.

Turn the wheel slowly, and watch the
thread pass around the shuttle at che
point where the accident occurred.
Many times machine can be persuaded
to return to good behavior by simply
taking out the needle and shuttle and
giving il little cleaning and oiling,
without disturbing any part of the ad

Be Kind to the BOYS.

There is something appalling in the
sight of boy, and no one with the
right sort of feeling look at one without
pity.
Boys are always getting into trouble,
disgrace and danger. Pity usually ends
with The boys mother and grandmother;
they feel for him, no matter what hab-
pens.
But. father, grandfather. aunts and
uncles consider him a good-for nothing
young nuisance, who doesn't get half
the whippings he deserves. When he
falls into calamity or disgrace they are
ready to exclaim 81 didn't expec.
anything else -
Poor little men, with all the great
bowling wilderness of life ahead and
none to fight their way for them Who
cares that their growing bones and
hearts pain them for lack of words of
sympathy. They are called lazy when
they are i'll, ard nobody but mother
takes the trouble to inquire into their
bad feelings.
sometimes terrible accident swoops
down upon the boy. He Is accidental
iy shot, or gets drowned, or in some
other way meets bis fate. Then it is
revealed to those who never gave him a
pleasant look or word that possibly
they have been unkind. But years of
unaVailiDg sorrow and regret cannot
undo the past. The pale face of the
dead boy, who was driven like a dumb
beast from place to place, will surely
haont the ones who have been his per-
secutors
Take it home, you who have bows to
whom no word of kind announcement
is ever given. Somwhere in the CONN.,
Try boys are being brought home every
day, all their little cares and tro3bIes
over fer al time. Then comes the re-
gret and heart break that never can be
cured.
BY this L do not wish to excuse the
Worthlessnsss and perversity of many
boys, or to imply that there are no IA
theirs with tender, affsctionate hearts :.
but desire to touch a few who never
lean to the side of charity in their deal
ings with the Boys.
