DamesIIc Life.

We are afraid that our domestic life
i'm this country will not bear looking
into. We fear that our houses will not
be found 10 have unity, and 90 express
the best thought. The household, the
calling, the friendship, Of the citizens
are not homogeneous. His houseought
to show o., his honest opinion Of what
his wellbeginning consists in when he
rests among his kindred, and iorgets
an affection. an compliance aud even
all exertiou Of will lie brings home
thither whatever commodities and OF
naments have foryears ailured his pur-
suit, and his character must soon be in
them. But what idea predominaies in
our houses? Thrift first, then conyen-
fence and pleasure. Take of the roofs
from street 10 street. and we shall sell
dom find the temple of any higher god
than Prudence. The progress of domes-
tic living has been in cleanliness iu
ventilation, In health, In decorum, in
countless means and arts of comfort,
i'm the concentration Ofail the m1lliiIcs
of every cline 100 each home. They are
arranged for low benefit The houses
of the rich are conieclioners' shops
where we get sweetmeats and wine
the houses of the poor are limitations OF
these to the extent of their ability
With these ends, housekeeping is not
beautiful. IL cheers and raises neither
the husband, the wife nor the child
neither the host, nor the guest 10 OPP
presses women. a house kept TO th'
end of prudence is laborIous, without
Joy. a house kept 20 the end Of display
is impossible 20 all but few women
and their success is dearly brought.

an evening, once or twice week, in
lady's drawing room, even though the
conversation is slow, and you know
the daughters song by heart, than in
a club, hotel, or PIT Of a theatre. All
amusements Of youth 10 which yirtuous
women are not admitted, relyon il, are
deleterious in their nature. All men
who avoid female society have dull
perceptions, and are stupid, or have
gross tastes aud revolt against what Is
pure. Your club swaggerers, who are
sucking billiard cues all night call fe-
male society insiped. Poetry Is unin-

derive from woman's society, is, that

The habit is Of great good. depend up
on IL. Our education makes Us the
eminently selfish men in the world.
We fight for ourselves, We yawn for
ourselves, we light our pipe and say
we won { 60 out-we prefer ourselves
and our ease. and the greatest benefit
that comes 10 man from woman's
society is, that he has to think Of some
body 10 whom he is bound 10 be con-
stanily attentive and respectful.

Good Prospect For an Ice Plant.

All Farmville will be glad to hear
that we have good prospect for an
ice plant i'm the near fut' re-. Mr.. w.
G.. Newman, of Alice, Va, is here try
ing to select a lot upon which 10 build
plant. Unlike most people he Is
not asking that Farmville "take so
much stock and / will furnish eX-
perience," but only asks that people
do not give him "a kick lie has
the money and wants the moral sup
port of the business community. lie
is negotiating for lot upon which to
locate; wants to get near the river, as
he will need water in great quantities
for cooling purposes, but expects to
use water for the manufacture of ice
from an artesian well. So soon rs he
can buy location he purposes To be-
gin on the plant.
Since the above was put IN type Nh
Newman has purchased the property
of Mr. j. f.. Johnston, near the Norfolk
and Western passenger station, and
on the Appomattox river He tells us
he will commence work on the plant
and order machinery at once.

Whore all might dwell in Liberty.
Free from the bitter misery
OF goasip's endless prailing :"
Every community is cursed by

meanest specimens OF deprayed hui

permits 10 exist OH this green earth.
10 is we'll known that almost every
person is sometimes disposed 10 speak
evil of others; and taltling is a sin
from which very few can claim 10 be

this article is TO call attention 10 that
distinct class of tattlers who make
tale-beanng the constant business OF
their lives Fortunately we have but
few such In this community, but no
community il entirely free from them.
They pry into the private affairs Of
every family in the neighborhood,
they know the exact state of one
neighbours feelings towards another
they understand eyerybody's faults,
and no little blunder OF misdemean0r
ever escapes their Nigilant watchful-
ness. They are particularly well
posted on everything connected with
c0urship and matrimony; know who
are going to marry and can guess the
exact time when the golden knot Will
be tied. They watch every movement
Of parties suspected Of matrimonial
intentions, and if there is the slightest
chance 90 create a disturbance, excite
jealousy, or "break-up' match, they
take immediate advantage of II and
do an in their power TO keep people IN
constant state OF yeXaiion. They
glide quietly from gentleman TO lady,
from mother 10 daughter, from father
10 son, and into the ears Of all they
pour their DARK bitter whispering OF
SANDER and abuse, and at the same
time pretend to be the most sincere
friends Of those they talk 10. Their
black and nauseols pills Of malicious
SANDER are sugar-coated with smiles
and honeyed words Of friendship.
