The Herald of last evening, knowing
that Mr.. Langford is absent from town,
takes occasion to make a cowardly at-
tack upon him. This is but another
specimen of the action of the concern
referred to, in meddling with the busi-

recated by all honorable men. We are
not fighting Mr.. LaDgford's battles, and

so to do. and had no fear OF the Herald

THE WORTH OF TIME.-To show us
the worth of time, God, most liberal of
all other things, is exceedingly frugal in
the dispensing of that; for he never gives
us two moments together, nor grants us
a second till he has withdrawn the first,
still keeping the third in his own hands,
so that we are in perfect uncertainty
whether we shall have it or not. The
true manner of preparing for the last
moment is, to spend all the others well,
and ever to expect that. We dote upon
this world as if it were never to have an
end, and We neglect the next, as if it
were never to have beginning.

SOSAN MOhION dOOE.


THE brief address delivered by the Rev. Dr.
T. V. Moore at the funeral of Mrs HOge, is
published under the persuasion that it will be
received by wide circle of readers as a cher
ished memorial of one whom they knew and
loved.

Of those cases that occur rarely in the
providence of God, when not one family
but many are mourners, and when the
pent-up feelings of whole community
seem to crave for some expression of
theirs in which they may find partial
relief. But l am precluded from such
an expression of them as the heart would
desire by the known wishes of her whose
removal has called forth this widespread
grief, for it was her request during her
last illness that her funeral services
should be simple and uhostentatious, and
that no formal panegyric discourse should
be uttered on the occasion. This request
We regard as sacred; and yet only con-
cur with those whose judgment ] prefer
to my own, in believing that the very
humility that caused this request would
not feel that its spirit was disregarded,
if We give vent to those struggling emo
tiOns, not by any tribute to man, but by
a devout and thankful acknowledgment
of the grace of God, as it was magni6ed
in her life and death.

woman to come as young bride to a
church and a community, and so occupy
the delicate position of pastors wife
that after nearly quarter of century
that community can say, "she never
gave US cause for sorrow until she left US
for her home in heaven"


If it has enabled a naturally high
toned spirit so to put on the meekness
and geutleness of Christ as to seek out
the bruised reeds of human life that she
might tenderly bind them up and train
their crushed tendrils to twine around
the Cross; to bend over the smoking fax,
and By the breath of kindly sympathy
WOO it to a fame of love to Jesus, so that
the poor, the lonely, the neglected sought
her out or welcomed her search for them
by an irrepressible instinct that led them
to make her the depository of their tales
of sorrow, with the assurance that all
that human kindness could do for them
would be done by her;


If to manage her affairs so as to relieve
her husband of all worldly care, and so to
arrange her expenditures by cutting of
all needless Injuries and even comforts
especially from herself-as always to
have the means of meeting the calls of a
charity whose bountiful bestowals will
only be known when the " books shall
be opened;'


If grace enabled her to diffuse around
her so much of her own sweet and
sunny spirit, that not only was home
a brighter place by her presence when
all within it was bright, but yet more

a house of mourning, and when she

IRON TRACKS FOR CARRIAGE ROADS,
Some one, in exposing the "penny wise and
pound foolish" policy too prevalent among
farmers, of having POOR roads, remarks as
follows about the practicability of the iron
rail for all sorts of carriages through the
whole country: "The success of horse rail-
roads has put people to thinking of applying
the same principle to ordinary carriage roads,
Why not, they ask, have our great thorough
fares at least laid with iron rails adapted to
the use OF common carriage wheels Well,
why not? Because Of the great expenseI
But the expense of making and keeping in
order any great thoroughfare is large; aud
after all, few are kept in really good condi-
ton while roads once laid with iron are ais
most faultless to begin with, and are proved
to bevery durable, and, what is still more to
the point, may be laid with iron and kept in
repair for less money than a first class mac
adam road can be. So, at least, says the
Scientific american, which is surely good
authority. If this be true, then it would be
matter of immediate economy In dollars and
cents--to say nothing of comfort aud conve>
Oience-to lay our great highways with iron
rails. In England, where road making has
been carried to a degree of perfection very
rarely seen in The United States, over which
one horse will carry, with the same ease,
double the load that be could draw on our
roads-even in England the question is now
being seriously agitated of adopting iron rails
for common carriages all over the kingdom.
And though it may be some time before the
system will be admitted and adopted even in
England, it must ultimately prevail both in
England and America.

How TO KEEP WINTER APPLEs.-The
fruit grower who is so fortunate as to have
winter apples, can prolong their keeping by
packing in saw dust, other than pine, if pos
sible. Put it in some dry place for several
weeks before using, spread out thin SO as to
be perfectly dry. Keep your apples on the
trees as late as possible not to be touched
with frost. Pick in the middle of pleasant
day, when perfectly dry. Handle with care,
and leave all the stems on. Pack no bruised,
wormy or defective fruit. Sprinkle an inch
Of sawdust on the bottom of your packing
box. Place the apples in layers, and so con.
tinue until the box is full, with layer of
fruit and layer of sawdust, leaving an inch
or more of the latter on the top. Put the
lid on with slight pressure, gently shaking
the box, and keep the contents perfectly
tight Remove to some out-building, and
keep there till freezing weather comes on,
when the boxes should be stored in a dry
cellar, placed on blocks or plank so as not to
touch the ground. In this way the latest
keepers will be perfectly sound the fourth of
next July, and they will be entirely fresh,
with the favor unimpaired Packing in saw
dust has many advantages over sand and is
in every way preferable. This is no theory
or guess work, but the result Of years Of
experience.

THE LITTLE WoMAN-As a rule the lit
tie woman is brave. When the lymphatic
giantess falls into a faint, or goes off into
Mysteries, she storms, or bustles about, or
holds on like a game terrier, according to
the work on hand She will fly at any man
who aunoys her, and bears herself as equal
to the biggest and strongest fellow of her
acquaintance. In general she does it all by
sheer pluck, and is not notorious for subtl-
lty or craft. Had Delilah been a little wo-
man she would never have taken the trouble
to sheer Samson's locks. She would have
defed him with all bis strength untouched
on his head, and she would have overcome
him, too. Judith and Jael were both prob
ably large women. The work they went
about demanded a certain strength of NUS
Gle and toughness of sinew; but who can
say that Jezebel was not a small, freckled,
aubuTn-haired Lady Audley of her time,
full of the eonsecrated fire. the electric force,
the passionate recklessness of her type Re-
gan and Goneril might have been beautiful
demons of the same pattern; we have the
example of Marchioness de Brinvillier as to
what amount of spiritual deviltry can exist
with the face and manner of an angel direct
from heaven; and perhaps Cordelia was a
tall, dark haired girl, with pair of brown
eyes, and long nose sloping downward.

1t Is not for the interest Of this city that all the great
avenues entering 1t should be under the control Of
