said lady who gives much of her
time to philanthropic work. "And, -
she added, ''the most hopeless cases are
those OF the young women who feel
that they can do almost anything, be-
cause no one ever yet succeeded in
the limitless field of anything.
SIT seems as though l ought to be
able to earn living, with my educa-
tion and accomplishments" said a
young woman suddenly reduced from
af1uence to the necessity of earning
her own living. 81 can play The piano
unusually well, and paint very cleverly
on china, and embroider, and do all
kinds Of fancy-work, aud write very
clever verses, and recite or sing very

these accomplishments combined was
less than the value of the unlettered
Irish sevant-girl who could go into a
kitchen and cook fairly well.
1t would seem that there was some.
thing wrong with our educational sys-
tenn when our educated girls a!e 80 ig-
norant of the practical duti' $ life.
They are now taught something of
cooking and sewing in many of our
public schools; but most of them re-
gard this as mere amusement, and it
counts for little in fitting them for the
actual and practical work of cooking
and sewing and the care of a
home.
If mothers do not teach their daugh-
ters these things in their own homes,
they will not be learned at at all. And
The mother has failed in her duty if
her daughter, at the age Of twenty-five
or twenty.three, finds herself utterly
lacking in the ability 10 earn a dollar
if it becomes necessary for her to do so,
and utterly incompetent to discharge
the duties of the home to which hus-
band may take her. There is no high
er maternal duty than that of fitting

fore them waits as wives and mothers
or as useful self-supporting wo-
men.

The Country Editor.

Verify the life of a country editor
is a path of thorns.
His bread is promises and his meat
is disappointments.
His creditors chase him by day
and the devil grinneta at him in his
dreams by night.
He sendeth the paper to a sub
scriber on credit end the subscriber
payeth him not.
Then he stoppeth the delinquents
paper, and the delinquent singeth
ira la and borroweth It Of neigh
Dor.
One subscriber payeth his SUBJ
scription in wood, and behold it is
rotten and soggy and of short meas
ure.
He whoopeth up the township pol
itician and the politician gets elect
ed and knoweth him no more.
He puffeth the church fair gratis
and then attendeth il and payeth q
quarter and receiyeth two oysters.
He boometh his town and all
things therein, and yet receiveth no
support and is a man without honor
to his own country.
Two young people marry, and he
giveth them a great puff, and they
go to housekeeping and taketh not
his paper.
Yea, he is bound down with woe
and his days are full Of grief and
trouble and vexation Of spirit.
But sorrow endurelh only for a
night and joy cometh in the morn

He ploddeth along and endureth
in patience, and it is written that he
will receive his reward at the judy
meut.

NY SWEETHEART.


The tears of years have made snow white
Your golden hair of long ago;
Your footsteps, once SO quick and light.
Like mournful songs are soft and slow.
Your thin pale hands are worn and weak
And tremble as they rest in mine;
Your eyes are dim, but when you speak
They beam with love l deem divine.
In you, my dear, most am blest,
For you're my sweetheart, first and best,
My dear old mother, friend so true,
Tongue cannot tell my love for you.
My hearts sublimest song is this:
floye.you, mother dear,
And while your sweet, old face kiss,
PHI gently draw you near,
So every word you'll hear;
A queen in truth you are to me,
And let my richest tribute be
The thought most revere
/ love you, mother dear.
Some day--the time may not be long
Your eyes will close in endless sleep,
Your spirit greet the angel throng
That DER you now their yigils keep;
Then twill be late, you will not hear
The words my childhood lisped for you,
Those words TO mothers hearts most DEAR
What bliss to feel you always knew.
And while you finger here below,
Your heart may joy, your cheek may glow
When softly DER and Ger again
whisper in a sweet refrain;
My hearts sublimest song is this:
love you, mother dear,
And while your sweet old face kiss,
I'll gently draw you near,
So every word you'll hear;
A queen in truth you are to me,
And let my richest tribute be
The thought 1 most revere
l love you, mother dear.

The Gipsies. are emphatically "a

The Isrselites have a peculiar reli-

The Israeiites all have means and
many are wealthy ; the Gipsies are
poor. The Israelites have many

made their glorious exode from
