Il would be useless to undertake to lay down any

Fortunately we are not all constituted alike, and
often what appeals strongly to one man would have
absolutely no effect upon another. There are as

offers has overwhelmed two estimable young women,
the daughters of q farmer at Schuyler. They are
not described beautiful. So far as we are advis
ed they are not distinguished for accomplishments
Of the kind which make for social pre- eminence.
Perhaps they are not more amiable, more affection
ate, nor more practical in the general duties Of
house wiferg than others. Their claim to distinct
ion is that they killed, cleaned scalded and hung
two 800 pound hogs without masculine assistance.
Instantly an overpowering passion took possession
Of the heart Of every eligible bachelor within what
