Uses OF STUPIDITY.-The CornhW -Mdgd-
zine, English says: Our stupidity, in short,
preserves convenient twilight; it hangs like |
fog over cOntending armies, which enables
the rival commanders to shift their positions
and gradually to occupy important positions
without giving the alarm. Before we are
aware that any change has been made we have
undergone complete revolution, and wonder
when we look back, like a man who has been
walking in the mist and has described com
pste circle under the impression that he was
following a straight line. But this service,
great as 1t is, Is only Oae we owe to stupidity
1t ID generally said, with a certain degree of
truth, that men are great in proportion as they
are IN advance OF their sgs, and catch distinct
glmpses OF the goal tC which things are tend
Ing. But It Is also to be observed that fooS
are frequently In advance of their age and
that fools often make the best refoImers of the
age. Great thinkers have, for the NEST part,
the weakness that they can see two sides to
question; they see that change will lead to
certain blessings but they cannot overlook
the evils with which these blessings will be
accompanied Now, good thick headed, one
ideaed fool IS, On such occasions, of inestima-
Die value. We are accustomed to boast that
as nation we don't know when we are
beaten; taken literally, that amounts, like
many other national Qualifications, to boasting

THE LOVE TRIALS OF A YOUNG CoUP
LE.-Schuylerville, N. Y, has been ex-
cited for the past few days over low
ers fight, which has furnished some
choice tea-party gossip for the inhabt-
ants of that place. The parties are
young man of about twenty. .one years,
who has beenint two different county jails,
within the last three months, and is a
candidate for state prison, and girl
fourteen years old, beautiful and very
talented young lady.


About clock Saturday night they
were seen to cross the river bridge at
Schuylerville, going ca t. Word was sent
to the mother of the girl (who is wild
ow LADY, and she was nearly crazed to
learn Of the affair A dozen wagons
started in pursuit. The pair were over
taken at Galesville, having waited on q
minister there, who refused to marry
them. They were about to look further
when they were overhauled by the moth
er of the girl. The daughter declared
she would marry him or poison herself.
She broke away from her pursuer and
took to her heels in the dark and met
her lover again. They started for Fort
Miller village, about five miles distant.
They were traced to the hotel there
When the landlord heard the pursuers
coming he put out the lights and locked
the doors, denying that they were there.
But cousin of the girl, a muscular fel-
low, said that they were there, for their
horse was under the shed, and that he
should have the girl dead or alive. The
landlord then told them the girl was in
the kitchen with his wife, She baffled
her pursuers a little longer by running
into another room, and locking the door
after her, but her cousin broke down the
door, whereupon the girl seized poker
and fought like tigress but was finally
brought out exclaiming to her lover,
Ed what shall do?" "Well, / guess
you had better go home" and home she
went. but how long she will stay depends
on how closely she is watched. She de-
clares she will marry him. 1t is very
strange affair. She is fine looking,
worthy girl. and to throw herself away
on so worthless young man seems lit
tie better than madness. As for the
young man, he gets drunk every week or
twoand drives his father and mother out
of the house and threatens toshoot them,
and they find it necessary to escape un-
til he gets sober. An elegant home for

In certain parts Of Sweden, when the
bride comes home from church, her moth
er meets her at the house door and slips
piece Of sugar, or coffee-bean, into
her mouth, which is supposed to have
the effect of teaching her economy
There is a popular belief that woman
will always have distaste for the first
thing that she eats after marriage; and
therefore it is thought right to set her
such expensive luxuries as coffee and
sugar. 1t hardly needed a ghost from
the grave or a popular superstition to
tell us that, if several couples are mar
ried at The same time, i'll luck will at
tend one or the other of them, for it
would be strange if amongst many fam
lilies all were to be favorel. We are
told that children born on Sunday do
not live long but if they do survive,
they will be able to discover ghosts and
to destroy dragons that keep watch over
hidden treasures. The moment child
is born, its parents hurry it off to be
baptized, thinking that Satan has pow
er over it tilt the ceremony is performed.


Mr.. Llyod himself bears witness to
the existence of this superstition. He
was once taking shelter for the night at
a cottage, in the depths of wild forest
during the coldest part of the winter
During the night child was born in
the cottage, and, two or three hours af-
ter, was carried off to the c!ergyman's
house several miles away, the thermom-
etor being far below zero.


One of the customs connected with
Swedish funerals is that small looking
glass be placed in the coffin of an un-
married female, so that when the last
trump shall sound she may be able to
adjust her tresses before she stands at
the bar of the great tribunal. The strang-
est superstitions on the subject of dis
eases are, that dropsy is only durable
while the patients mother is alive, and
that toothache is cured by rubbing the
tooth with nail and then driving the
nail into a growing tree. The result of
this is that the toothache is transferred
to the tree so long as it continues grow
ing, but, if any one cuts down or Injuries
the tree, he will have the toothache.


No doubt the groans which sometime
proceed from trees, and of which Mr.
Disraeli has given catalogue in one of
his novels, are caused by this inherited
pain. During still weather it is not felt
but high winds make it more poignant.

There are but few inventions or discoveries
which produce complete revolution in any de-
parment of labor. To have supposed, a year ago,
that the dirtiest garment could be washed clean
in twenty thirty minutes, by boiling alone
would have been regarded as an indication of in
sanity. But it has been demonstrated beyond any
doubt that this process not only cleans the Clothes
but that garments thus washed become whittier and
clearer the longer it is used. Some people suggest
that clothes will get yellow after awhile. by being
washed in this way but such surposition has no
foundation in fact, and is contradicted by the
perience of every lady who has adopted this mode
of washing


Everybody who has tried the machine in Shasta
have expressed themselves highly pleased with
its operations. 1t must be to be fully appre-
ciated, as its full merits cannot be properly set
forth in ordinary advertisement


Public and private tests have been given of this
apparatus for the last six months, and more than a
million of people have witnessed its success Ten
thousand boilers were sold in New York City in less
than five onths, from one stand, and at this time
the orders reach about hundred day. Ne
one used it as directed that did recommend
it. 1t has been recommended by more than five
thousand persons in less than six months. Among
the names those of the most distinguished cit
izens of the United States but the best rccommen-
dation is to take the boiler and it yourself. Do
just you directed and you will be more than
satisfied. 1t appeals to us all a matter of econ
omy, and can be shown to be the best kind of an
| investment. 1t will return yearly dividend in
cash of TWO HUNDRED PER CENT. on the
money invested. For instance, we will suppose
your white clothing such bed and table linen
ladies' and gentiemens wear, and childrens cloth
ing. only cost you $40 year. They will last twice
as long washed in this way as by the old method.
Thus, you actually $50 4 year by investing 10
or 200 per cent. annually. There is no family
scarcely but spends more than here stated but this
| is taken a very low average of this branch of
family expense. Added to this is the great con-
venience and comfort of the thing which, all taken
| together, makes it luxury which no. family can
well afford to be without.


This Boiler sells the best of any article offer
ed to the public Anybody after trying it fairly
will not let it go out of of the house.
Year: 1870

Fill the boiler with soft. water to within about
three inches Of the top of the inside boiler. Slice
up one pound bar of good hard soap.


Bring the water to boil, and then place. the
clothes in the Aot water. The water will imme-
diately pour over the shell all around, and if it
boils raise the lid.


Keep up fire for twenty minutes. Then
take the clothes out ard Immediately SUBS them
through in soft water. If any shade OF the dirt
remains. few rubs will take it all out. Then
rinse them in clean water wiring dry, and the wash
ing is done. Give particular heed to the following
SUGGESTIONS.


The clothes need not be wet before placing them
in the Boiler. 1t is of vital importance to THOR
0UGHLY SUDS the clothing alter boiling. Every
lady knows that the least particle of suds left in
the clothes to dry will cause the clothes to look
yellow. A brisk fire is important in order to FRO
duce rapid boiling. Time may be saved by stirring
or turning the clothes occasionally while boiling
The cover sholld not be removed, except when
necessary, in order to insure quick work. If the
washing be large one, the clothes should be as
sorted, as dirty shirts, for instance, will require
double the time of sheets, pillow cases, napkins,
dc.


Articles much soiled may be left in for second
boiling White hannels may be beautiful washed
without FULLING) by this process. They
should be put in when the water is hot, and rnsed
out in hot water.


Colored clothes should not be mixed with white
and unless the colors fast they should never be
washed by this process The most delicate laces
cambrics, &c, such would nearly fall to pieces
washed in the ordinary way. may be was he'd per-
fecty without injury, by this process. The almost
absolute necessity of using soft, or "broken,"
water, is SO well understood. as to hardly need
mention here.


No machine ever invented will entirely remove
the streaks from dirty wrist bands and Collars
This Self washing Boiler more nearly does it than
any other device. Should shade streak remain
it i'll be found to be reduced and sofened as to
disappear without the use of wash board. by
merely rubbing them with the hands, thus avoiding
all the wear and tear of clothing by washing. 1t
has been carefully estimated that clothing receives
more than ONE-HALF ITS WEAR by the old
process of RUBBING, and consequently will last
twice as long if washed by this process, which
alone would pay for Boiler many times during
sin le year, in almost any family, to say nothing
Of the important consideration CT saving labor.
