She can love truer or hate worse than the men of ordinary calibre. She can make a home a little heav en or a little hell, on les3 capital than other business can be carried on. She can make a ten or hundred dollar bill go up, O ! so quick. She can drive a man out of a house if her tongue be working all right, quicker than Beast Butler could get away with a set of spoons. She can kiss another woman sweet er,-and then talk about her worse than one of theso Reform Ropub'i enns can talk about the President. And she knows more by intuition of all the affairs of the neighborhood than Grant knows about his relations or the poslcfllce presents he has re ceived. She can be nicer to a woman she hates than scallawag politician is t" a negro before he has voted. She can walk further to display a new dress than a loyal or disloyal contraband could travel for chickens ni the night. And love her?if she loves a man she will slick to him longer than the bent family will to the immortal Ulysses! Like dollars, good women are hard to get, hard to keep, botheisome to look alter, but here is a couuhdrum : How can we get along without them r A Preposterous Story. A jocular Senator from the West, according to the Washinton corres pondent of the Boston Journal, tells a very gocd story about another Sen ator from a Southern State. The latter began life as a brakeman on a railroad, and by industry and fore sight has accumulated a fortune and high political honors. Senator Tbur man, wl ile speaking, usually holds his eyeglasses in one hand and a huye red handkerchief in the other. He blows a sounding blast on his nasal organ in the midst of a speech quite as natural as Senator Dawes looks up tit the galleries every timoi he addresses the Yiee-Prosident. It was an all-night session. The South ern Senator was quietly sleeping on a sofa in the cloak room. Mr. Th?r man was .'peaking. He blew his nose with such vigor that, the report conld have been heard in tiic Secreta ry's olllcc. The sleeping Senator was awakened by tin; noise, ami, leaping to his feel, grasped a chair by the side of the sofa and twisted it around until the author of the story grasped him by the arm and brought him to a realizing sense of his where - abouts. Wife. What do yon think the beautiful tword "wife" comes from? It is the word in which the English and Latin language conquered the French and Greek. I hope 'he French will some da}' get a word for it instead of that dreadful word femme. But wdiat do you think it comes from ? The groat value of Saxon words is that they mean some thing. Wifo means "weaver." Yon mnat either be housewives or house moths ; remember that. In the deep sense, you must either weave men's fortunes or embroider them, or feed upon and bring thctn to decay. Wherever a true wife comes, home is always around her. The stars may be over her head, she glow-worm in the night-cold grass may bo the firo at her foot; but home is where she is; and for a noble woman it atrctches far around her, better than houses ceiled with cedar and painted with vermilion, ?beding ils quid light far foi those who else are homeless. This I believe to be the woman's tine place and power.?Husk in. Never be sorry for any generous thing that you overdid, even if it was betrayed. You cannot afford to keep on the safe side by being moan. Our exchanges have a great ffea to say about "editorial ability." What a country editor really needs is the ability to live on four shillings a week, and smoke his own cigars. A Mother's Lovo. j A mother's lovn i How lightly do i wo often vnluo and how liltlo do we appreciate a kind loving mother? What a fountain of pure unscltish lovo tises up from her generous heart?' Who will lovo us as a mother does? And who will sutler, work, and toil for us, depriving themselves of every comfort, in order that we may he well cared for and spared all nnxie lies and cares of life? No one but "mother." Wo may have a kind fa ther, gentle and loving brothers and sisters, and, when ws grow older, and leave the paternal roof,?wc may he fortunate in securing a kind husband or gcnllo wife, and may bo blessed with dutiful and happy children ; but no one ever excises towards us the same kind, patient love and gentle foibearancc as a mother. How kind we should bo to her! Wc should share heraxielies, lighten the burden of her cares, and stiivc to make her declining years happy. Ii is a debt as well as a duly wo owe to her, and it is happily in the power of all to pay it. Think < f Iho many days 'A weary toil and the years of unselfish love and patient devotion she has given to us, and then let us ask our selves if we can do too much for "mother." Mrs. Senator Gordon. The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Times, relates the follow ing : "Some people were speaking the other day of the regularity with which fifrs. Senator Gordon attends the sessions'of the Senate, and the keenest interest with which she watches the debates. One of the party said lhat she is so devoted to her husband lhat she goes with him everywhere. During tho war she look her two little boys, one almos' a baby, and lived with her husband in camp, following him into battle, in fact, sharing till the danger with him. She had an ambulance at her service, and it was in that she used to follow him. When he was so sctiously wounded, she had her ambulance driven right into the hulllc-field, and him pulled out from the dead and wounded and placed in the ambulance, and she drove oil with him. All cf this was done under the heaviest lire, and the cover of the ambulance was pierced with bullot-holcs. Some one said to her: "How could you have the nerve to do it?" "Whv," replied Mrs. Gordon, "1 did not think any more of it than I should of pulling one of my boys out of the fire if he had fallen in." Gralting. A gentleman in Bryan County has adopted the plan of grafting the peach upon the rapid growing varie ties of plums with most gratifying re sults. He has an orchard of 'JOT) ! trees thus grafted, from which he gathered a fine crop of superior fruit last summer, lie claims for this plan decided advantage in 'he coast region, and bases his opinion upon results. The dilliculty hitherto ex perienced by those who have experi mented with grafting the peach upon the plum has arisen from the fact that the peach is a more rapid grower than the plum, and hence is liable to break oh*" at the point of the junc tion. This seems to have been over come by using theYpiick growing va rieties of the plum. It is a common practice to graft the plum upon the peach.?Southern Ei?krpi isc. Think of It. Some Ii fly years ago, a gang of Belgian miners, angry with another set of underground workers, set a mass of coal on fire to smoke out their comrades. How well they suc ceeded, lit the record of half a centu ry tell. Years have passed away, a generation has faded, tho angry pas sion of those who thus nought revenge has become a thing of the past; but the file started in that mine long ago, blazes on, and no earthly skill has yet found the way to extinguish it. Burning on, ever consuming, it is a filling type of the unceasing power of sin and passion, and of the never end ing fire which they kindle. A Terriblo Crime. ClKClNATTi, January 10.?An Illi nois dispatch says that. Tuesday eve ning three men, named McFarland, Patterson and Malony, enteied the house of an old man named Nevil, near Pccantonic, dragged him to a tree, tied him, and then pounded him until he was stunned and bleeding. They then assaulted and outraged Mrs. Nt.vil, aged 70, and her daugh ter, aged 20. They were all arrested. "Prisoner at tfio bar," said the Judge, "Is there anything you wish to say before sentence is passed upon you?" The prisoner looked wistfully toward the door and remarked that he would like to say "good evening, if iL would be agreeable to the compa ny." But they wouldn't let him.
