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 less 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 gel away with a set of spoons. She can kiss another woman sweet er,-and then talk about her worse Chan one of these Reform Republi cans can talk about the President. And sbc knows more by intuition of all the alfairs of the neighborhood than Grant knows about his relations Or the poskfllcc presents he has re ceived. She can be nicer to a woman she hates than scallawng 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 hi the night. And love her?if she loves a man she will stick to him longer than the Dent family will to the immortal Ulysses! Like dollars, good women arc hard to get, hard to keep, bolheisome to look alter, but here is a conundrum : How ean we get along without them ? A Preposterous Story. A jocular Senator from the West, according to the Washinton corres pondent of the Boston Jeurnnl, tells a verygocd story about another Sen ator from a Southern State. The latter began life as a brukeman on a railroad, and by industry and fore sight lias accumulated a fortune and high political honors. Senator Thur nian, wl ile speaking, usually holds his eye-glasses in one hand and a huge red handkerchief in the other. Ho blows a sounding blast on his nasal organ in the midst of a speech quite as natural as Senator Dawes looks up at the gullerics every limn, he addresses the Vice-President. 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 speaking. He blew his nose with such vigor that, the report could have been beard in the Secreta ry's ofllco. The sleeping Senator was awakened by tlie noise, and, leaping to his feet, grasped a chair by the side of the sofa ami twisted ii 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 *??rd "wife" comes from? It is thd Word in which the English and Latin language conquered the French and Greek. I hope 'he French will some day get a word for it instead of that dreadful word femme. But what do you think it comes from? The great value of Saxon words is that they mean some thing. Wife means "weaver." You Jnri3t either be housewives or house moths ; remember that. In the drop sense, you must cither weave men's fortunes or embroider them, or feed upon and bring them 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 stretches far around her, better than houses ceiled with cedar and painted with vermilion, sheding its quiet light far foi those' who else are homeless. This I believe to be the woman's tine place and power.?Ituxlein. Never be sorry for any generous thing that you ever did, even if it wns betrayed. You cannot olford to keep on the safe side by being moan. Our exchanges have a great (ten. 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 (Vlothbr's Love. \ A mother's lovo ! How lightly do } wo often value and how little do we appreciate u kind loving mother? What a fountain of pure unsellish lovo liscs up from her generous heart? Who will love us as a mother does? And \\ho will suffer, work, and toil for its, depriving themselves of every comfort, in order that wo may be well cared for and spared all anxie ties ami cares of life? No ono but "mother." Wo may have a kind fa ther, gentle and loving brothers and sisters, and, when \V2 grow older, and leave the paternal roof,-we may be fortunate in securing a kind husband or gentlo wife, and may bo blessed with dutiful and happy children; but no one ever excises towards us the same kind, patient love and gentle forbearance as a mother. How kind we should bo to her! We should .share her axleiios, lighten the burden of her cares, and stiive to make her declining years happy. It is a debt ns well as a duty we owe to her, and it is happily in the power of all to pay it. Think < f the many days "A'\ weary toil and the years of unselfish love and patient devotion sho 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 Sirs. Senator Gordon attends the sessions of the 'Senate, and the keenest interest with which she watches the debates. Ono of the ' party said that sho is so devoted to her husband that she goes with him everywhere. During the war she took her two little boys, one alinos" a bab}-, ami lived with her husband in camp, following him into battle, in fact, sharing all the danger with him. S-Mic bad an ambulance at her service, and it was In that she used to follow 11itu. When he was so sciiously wounded, she had her ambulance driven right into the battle-field, and him pulled out from the dead and wounded and placed in the ambulance, and she drove ofT with him. All ef Lhis was done under the heaviest fire, and the cover of the ambulance was pierced with bullot-holes. Some one said to her: "How could you have the nerve to do it ?" " Why," replied Mrs. Gordon, "I 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 lias 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 200 trees thus grafted, from which he gathered a lino crop of superior fruit last summer. He claims for this plan decided advantage in 'he coast region, and bases his opinion upon results. The difficulty hitherto ex perienced by those who have experi mented with gi al'ting the peach upon j the plum has arisen from the fact that j the peach is a more rapid grower I than the plum, and hence is liable j lo break oil at I lie point of the junc j tion. This seems to have been over come by using life'quick growing va rieties of the plum; It is a common practice to graft the plum upon the poach.?Southern Entbrpi isc. Think of It. Some fifty years ago, a gang of Belgian miners, angry with another set of underground workers, set a mass of coal on Ore to smoke out their comrades. How well they suc ceeded, I jL the record of half a centu ry tell. Years have passed away, a generation has laded, the angrv pas sion of those who thus .-.ought revenue has become a thing of the past; but the liie started in that mine long auto, 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 lire which they kindle. A Tcrriblo Crime. ClMCiNATTl, January 10.?An Illi nois dispatch says that Tuesday eve ning three men, named McFarlnnd, Patterson and Malony, cntoieel the house of an old man named Nevil, near Pccantonic, drugged him to a tree, tied him, and then pounded him until bo 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 r" The prisoner looked w istfully toward the door and remarked that he would like lo say "good evening, if it would be agreeable to the compa ny." But they wouldn't let him.
