it is wisdom; it is prudence it is common

In all cases of fever and ague the BITTERS

barrel is discharged, the gunpOwder in
the left is pulveriZed more or less by

Make bags of unbleached cotton
cloth, put the hams in it, and then
put in a layer of fine, soft hay all a.
round them, so as to make a stratum
of hay between the cloth and the
hams. If merely bagged the fkes will
thurst their ovi-pOsitOrs through the
cloth and sting the meat; but the in
terpOsed hay keeps them of. 1t is q
common practice to whiteWash the
bags, but this is not so neat, and the
bags cannot be so well used again.


Another mode is to bury them IN
oats or some other grain, but they
are more apt to become injured from
want Of ventilation. Charcoal dust
keeps the hams well, but it is black
and disagreeable, and hard to get off.
Whichever mode Is adopted, it is OF

Let every woman that sees the first
need to be that woman should be so
taught, so educated, that she can be
independent of father, brother or hus-
band, first strive to be independent
herself, and then teach it to all other
women and girls about her. Let ev-
cry woman who wants to be anything
IN particular, and feels within her Ca
pacity, determine to be that thing.
But let her faithfully submit to the
conditions of her imposed task. II
she has taken desk in the counting
room, let her do her duty as man
would do his. She has no right to
expect to be excused when a man
would not be; no right to stay at
home when it rains q; no right to go
away earlier than her hour, because
she can't cross the ferry after dark; no
right to expect not to blown up when
she makes a wrong entry. 1t is sim
ply because women will not submit to
the conditions that men have to su b.
NIT to, because their uncertain future
makes them careless of their work,
and because they do not so readily
find employment, and that they are
always paid less wages than men. Once
let woman confront fate and not fiirt
with it, and the woman question
would begin to emerge from its pres
ent muddle.-T Putnam's Magazine.

When his father was about to quit

in the printing-office. "I was sorely
tempted to comply" he says, "but it

tChivalry dates from the middle
0f tho 10th century. It's origin
was not unlike that Of the various
orders Of knighthood which are 30
intimately associated with it's his
tory. Some brave mon of gentle
blood, united themselves for the
purpose Of protecting the weak,
devoting their swords to tho work.
One Of their chief virtues was cour-
age, for without it their undertake
ing would havo been childish.
Chastity was enjoined, for it is tho
sentiment Of noble minds to re-
spect woman, and she s.ood in pc
'culiar danger in IN age Of brute
forcc.-Of all the weak, sho ap-
pealed most strongly to the chivaI-
rous adventurer, and this senti-
mont produced that devotion to
tho sex which was tho supreme
manifestation Of chivalry. Tho
knightIy character, consequently,
was exalted to IN almost incrcdi.
bic pitch, and tho dominion of wo-
man became unbounded. The
knight who had no lady-love was
regarded as a tree without fruit or
leaves, or body without soul.
An old writer Of medieval times
quantity observes "He who 10y
ally sorves his ladyo, will not only
be blessed to tho height of mans
felicity in this life, but will never
fall into those sins which will pre-
vent his happiness hereafter. Pride
will be entirely cffacod from tho
heart Of him who endoarors by
humility and courtesy to win the
grace of a ladyc. The truo faith
ofa lover will defend him from
the other deadly sins Of anger,
envy, sloth, and gluttony; and his
devotion to his mistress renders
tho thcughtirhpossible Of his con.
duct ever being stained with the
vice of incontinonce."


In those days tho education of
the woman corresponded to that
of the man. Sho was taught to
dress simply, to bear herself be-
eomlngly, and to be courteous to
NIL. She had some knowledge of
medicine, and was skilled to heal
the wounds which had been in
aicted in her behalf She did not
tremblo amidst dangers, or faint
at the sight Of blood, but was
thoroughly imbuod with the spirit
of the times. It is possible there
may be some exaggeration in what
is said Of tho position of woman in
the age Of chivalry, but still it was
a high one; the effect was good
then, and has been productive of
good until now, tho lofty consid-
Grafton in which tho Sex is hold in
all civilized countries being one of
