TEAQH ME TO BE A LADY, MAMMA.
1 have seen Htlle girls before now asking
for sugar-plums, and leasing for a coveted
toy, or a new ribbon, but never before had
I heard such a request come from childish
lips. "Teach roe to be a lady, maiuma.'
Then bow cheerfully that mother laid
*side ber work and said :
,lI should Jove above all things, to teach
"yon bow to become a lady, Nioa in the
-strictest sgnse of the word, and I trust
ytJO are taking lessons to that effect everj;

'Why, how can that he, mamma ! I'm

HOW TO HAISE WINTER CABBAGE.
Having been requested by many friends
f to give my plan of growing winter cabbage.
1 have concluded to do so through the columns
of the Press and Messenger, that
' all who wish to enjoy the luxury of fine
I large cabbage during the wintur at a small
cost and trouble may do so. The main
point in raising cabbage for winter' in this
i climate, is to have them head up late in the
; fall and early in the winter. Ifthev head
up earlier while the weather i3 hot they are
most certin to rot.
The seed must be planted in May or eari
ly in June, and it requires much care and
i atteution?not much labor?to secure the
plants to lute in season. If not protected
> from the sun they will die as fust as they
. come up, Prepare a bed in partially shady
loca'.iou, if possible ; have tho ground thorobghly
pulverised, and if very well watered
lay off the beds in small furrows, six or
*even inchs apart ; the seed thick ; cover
i them carefully with a rake, or the hand,
whwti is better ; press the earth gently on
oro, if th? locaton is much to the sun.
The sbad^must not be too dense, or they
ill run very spindling nud fall down.
g, uplesa the weather is dam]).
After they come up, remove the shade
aduallv and continue to water occasionly
if neessarv, until the plants are well
oted; work them well and keep all
a? aud weeds down.
No one wbo is unwilling to bestow the
opercare and attention, need undertake
rjHBa cabbage plants at this sea?on of
eyear. Plants raised in the spring and alwed
to remain in the bed until the proper
lienor transplanting will make good cabige,
but not so good as planted later,
le stalk becoroos too dry and hard.
Tbey are to be transplanted in the
ontb of August, and in tbo following
anner : Dig boles tbo depth and width
a spado, three feet apart each way ; fill
em half fall of well rooted manure, first
ittiog in ibe bottom a teaspoonful of 1 V-rui
vihd Gun no, iflo be Had, thou fiH the hole
, nearly-full with the top soil. All this must
i bo dooo-iu readiness for transplanting duri
wig the rains in August.
' Trani*plaut deep, up to the leaves, in the
) middle of the hole*. By this lima the
> plante will have long shanks, the whole of
wmcu musi oe put into me ground. A
) very good plat), if it is desired to raise
i tlieiu on a large scale, is to lay oU' very
. deep furrows with a larye turn plow, put
s in the manure heavily, partially fill them,
i transplant in them. They must be
hoed frequently, once a week id not too
i often, and always-in the moruing when the
i dew is on-All cabbage should be thus hoed,
r The bottom leaves must not be pulled, or
- they will not head well. Upon the ap>
proach of very, cujld weather turn them
3 down to the earth, and cover up all the
- stalks, leaves and all, well with dirt, eufti.
- ciently to hold them down, only leaving
a out the top of the head. Thus r tti?ged
i J.hey will continue to head during the
r winter. It may be necessary to put some
L -pine bark or straw over the head, to further
3 protect them If the weather is extremely.

'death :
Tho author had soleoted over 5,000
>cases of death and other circumstan-!
! ces recorded, which he had tabulated j.
; and exhibited on a largo chart, the I
I different being distinguished by col- j
orod diagrams. By that chart he j
, showed that in ono thousand cases of {
\ dcat'i in children under live years of
age the periods ot tho greater mori
tality took place botwonn tho hours
| of 1 and 8 a. m.; that an cxtraordi'
nary depression look plaee in tho
j succeeding hours between 0 and 12 M.(
and that tho ratio of mortality was

ibis interesting subject.
Ho contended that the tables on

' the morning when tho powers of life
wero at their lowest ebb, and, strange j
to say, when tho patient was most.
car??dior. lie urged tho necessity of

THE NEW WIFE,
Mr. was a professor of religion
and was considered quito a good man
lie had Iho misfortune lo ludo bit) wife,
who wus also pious. Having u huge
family of children, ho lound it necessary
to marry a second wife. lie
chose one that hud moved i:i high life,
but nearly al! of wlioto relatives rejected
the doctrines of evangelical religion.
Ho did not. mean to l>o irreligious,
but ho tlu'light too much religion
would not ploa^o bin wife or her
friends, anil for that reason be neglected
family worship and other Christian
duties.
A short lime after their marriago,
bho said lo him : "1 thought when 1
married your 1 was marrying a Christian."
" Why, my doar wife, do you doubt
iny being a Christian '{"
" Yes, sir; I do."
" What reason have I given you tfi
think bo
"because, sir, a Christian prays with
his Ikinily, and you do not."
His reply was: "1 thought that the
reading of tho Bible and pray or'would
bo unpleasant and irktomo to ono that
has boon reared under bach influence?
and moved in such a circlo as you
have."
"Sir, you have nothing to do wit.li
all that. Your busiii??3 is to do youi
du?y as a-Christian. It is true, 1 have
moved in such u eirelo as you havt
described ; but I have been influenced
bp a difierent one. I do believe in religion,
and 1 do love to kco itB professor*
faithful and consistent."
ller husband said to her, " As it if
your wish,, I will erect a family altai
to-morrow morning."
"Will you wait until morning? \V<
may bulb of us bo in boll before tha>
lime.
" Why, my dear wife, aro you will

" Cortainty I am."
Accordingly thoy arose and dronsed
nusoami rcaa u porti.ni of God'd word

had prayed, his wife was ready t.i
pray. Their

Stereotyping Newsi'Ai>ehs.? Few persons
are aware of the fact that our principal
morning journals are not printed directly
from tho type, but from stereotypes taken
from the regular forms. Tho whole
tiuio conauincd in making the forms is
nl>out twenty minutes. It is accomplished
thus: Each page is made is made up iu a
separate form on a tal>le ill size and height
expressly adapted for the purpose; the legs
of this tal?le mo furnished with ca*tora, and
as soon as the forms are locked, the tuble
is rolled into tho stereotype room. The
form is then removed to the moulding table;
the latter has a hollow iron bed, tho cavity
of which is filled with s emu, as heat is one
of the requirements in facilitating the operation.
After the light temperntnro is
attained the lbrm is removed again to the
imposing table, and two or three sheets of
a peculiar kind of paper are laid over the
surface oi the type, and they are then beaten
down with n brush proof.
'Um lorm is theu again slid upon the
moulding table, another and hoaviar sheet
of paper placed over lite first; this is covered
with a wet blauket, and the whole slip
ped under the press attached to the mould*
iitg table, and the power applied. This is
done almost instantly, when the form is
again run out and the paper peeled off is a
complete matrix of the whole form.
A preparation of Fiench chalk is now
applied to the Burfaco of .the paper when il
is placed in the mould, the hot metal pour
cd against it, and the plate is almost in1
staiilly formed. It is how moved to the
phuier, is.cut, routed and justified, And in
a few moments is ou- its way to Lhe press
room, iiifstt piaics are cast id the exact
form req'.iiieJ for a cylinder press, and about
half au inch in thicknepa.
