PietY and PunisIlrne en- (.

A curious custom was observed by
an earnest and determined Richmond
mother in raising brood of six boys,
whom dying husband had left to her
care and whom she raised to honorable
manhood on a mixed diet of prayer and
flogging.
She was an exceedingly pious woman,
and so strict a member of the Presby-
terrain church that Dr. Breckenridge OF
some other observant preacher called
her the ''she elder" When the boys
were caught in some ugly scrape re-
quiring her attention she would lock
them up in the attic in the old northern
bank, where they lived, and just be-
fore night the ''old lady" would make
her appearance, armed with Bible,
hymn book and bunch of tough
switches.
She proceeded to read a chapter
from the Bible; this was followed by
the singing of a hymn, and then long
prayer suitable to the occasion, and
then would begin the business meet
ing" The whipping was proportioned
to the ''old lady's" state of mind and to
the otfenses charged, but always severe
and to the extent of the durability of
the rods employed.-Lexington Ky.)

FARM FOR SALE !

Owing to the advancing years of
my father, | have purchased the
farm owned by him for many years
past, near Hyde Park village Hav.
ing neither time nor ability to car
ry it on properly, | will sell it at
much less than its value.
To those who are acquainted
with the place no commentator
is necessary. For the benefit of
those who are not, say it is one of
the best farms on the Lamoille
River. 1t has a meadow nearly or
quite one mile in length, and
nearly as level as a floor. 1t was
in a fair state of cultivation when
purchased by my father, and du-
ring the many years that he has
owned it he has been constantly
improving it, until it is to-day one
of the most fertile farms on the
Lamoille River. The dwelling is
| a good two-story house, in an ex
cellent state of repair and pleas
antly located, and the barns are
fair. 1t would cost $500 at least
to build the buildings today
The larger part of the farm is
in Morristown, where taxes are
comparatively low. The balance
lies contiguous to Hyde Park vii
lage, where there is an academy,
court house, two banks, printing
office, steam mill, hide house, and
sundry stores, railroad depot, etc.,
all of which are within a to Il
mile of the farm The place is
now offered for $4,000. 1t was
sold few years since for $4,000.
1t contains 200 or 2I5 acres, but
if desired will reserve a part of it.
Terms of payment will be made
easy to any one who can either
pay or secure $1,000.

THE LEE OF SOCIETY.
Next / speak of social lies This evil
makes much of society insincere. You
know not what to believe. When peo-
pie ask you to come you do not know
whether or not they want you to come
When they send their regards you do
not know whether it is an expression of
their heart or an external civility We
have learned to take almost everything
at a discount. Word is sent, Not at
home" when they are only too lazy to
dress themselves. They say, ''The fur
mace has just gone out" when in truth
they have had no fire in it all winter.
They apologize for the unusual bar
renness of their table when they never
live any better They decry their most
luxurious entertainments to win a
shower of approval. They apologize
for their appearance as though it were
unusual, when always at home they
look just SO. They would make you
believe that some nice sketch on the
wall was the work of a master painter.
ut was an heirloom, and once hung
on the walls of a castle, and a duke
gave it to their grandfather. When
the fact is that painting was made by
a man down east, and baked so as
to make it look old, and sold with
others for ten dollars dozen. People
who will lie about nothing else will lie
about picture. On a small income
we must make the world believe that
we are affiuent, and our life becomes a
cheat, counterfeit and sham.
Few persons are really natural.
When | say this do not mean to slur
cultured manners. 1t is right that we
should have more admiration for the
sculptured marble than for the un-
known block of the quarry. From many
circles in life insincerity has driven out
vlvacity and enthusiasm. A frozen
dignity instead floats about the room,
and iceberg grinds against iceberg.
You must not laugh outright; it is vul-
gar. You must smile. You must not !
dash rapidly across the room, you must |
glide. There is round of bows and |
grins and batteries and obs! and abs! |
and simpering and nambypambyism-
world of which is not worth one |
good, round, honest peal of laughter. |
From such a hollow round the tor
tured guest retires at the close of the |
evening, and assures his host that he |
has enjoyed himself!
What q round of insincerities many |
people run in order to win the favor of |
the world Their life is q sham and |
their death an unspeakable sadness.
Alas for the poor butterflies when the
frost strikes them!
