Tin knew her.
One day her husband said to her, "My
dear, why don't you invent a new mater
ial for women's clothing which will snper
cede such a clumsy and costly fabric as
cloth ! Tig leaves, of course, won't do,
; at least in our climate ; but surely some
thing can be found that is better man
doth." This suggestion greatly pleased
the good wman, and she promptly began
to investigate the various materials which
might by any possibility be converted--into'
clothing. ' .
The result of her investigation was to
ton vice her that what her sex really want
ed was paper. She found Unit a single'
tliickiiess of ordinary newspapea is much
f "warmer than cotton or even wool, .and
friends told her that
they had actually suffered, even iu ni:d
erately warm weather, from wearing three
or four closely folded copies of the Tn
r.hmt: She also found that paper was ex
tremely cheap, and that there were cer
tain kinds of paper which were soft, plia
ble, and reasonablystrong. She estima
ted that shccoiild make herself an entire
suit of clothes, exclusive of shoes, stock -
ing, and gloves, out of paper, at a cost
of $1.17, and she could decorate the outer
garnieuts with water-colors, so that they
would be far more beautitul than the fin
est patterns of silk. There remained the
solitary objection that paper skirts were
readily 'combustible, but she knew that
by treating them with certain chemical
jiiei:initioiis. nbsolute safety against fire
. , , , - --
could be secured. 1
With her usual energy she at once ob
tained her materials, and made and deco
rated alull assortment of paper garments.
The lower or primary strata were com
posed of soft white uuglazed paper, what
might bo called, in view of their position,
the mesozoic shirts were matte of thick
hrov.n paper, while the tertiary skirts

On this place Mr. Wadswortb. has demon

sixty acres "under cultivation, and how
high the state of cultivation, a glance is
sufficient to show. One hundred acres
are in grass and clover high clover and
grass so thick upon the ground that it is
softer to the footstep than any Brussels
carpet. Twenty acres of the laud is in
cotton, which is now well up; Mr. Wads
worth's stand of cotton was never better
at this season of the year. There are
five acres in grapes 3,000 vines, well
trained and the young orchard, we
guess, is the best in Mecklenburg, em
bracing all the fruits grown in this sec
tion. The garden is up to thebest house

counted for" is in clover, wheat, oats and
rye. These are glorious wheat fields. A
lot of Fultz wheat, sowed last October,
stands six feet high, as thick as hops, and
promises thirty bushels to the acre. It

At the first annual convention of the

an executive committee to overlook asso

ou are now ready for your morning bit
ters: f. e., the clear juice of a fresh lemon
in a wine glass of water without sugar.
This is a bomb straight at the enemy,
"or a more potent solvent of bile is not in
the materia medica. Searching out rheu
matic tendency, attacking those insidious
bes which are storing up anguish against
our later days cakuli it prevades the
system like a fine moral sense, rectifying
incipient error. It is needful perhaps to
egin with two lemons daily, the second
at night just before retiring.
A primitive but most efficacious pre
scription which corrected the physical re
action after a pork-eating winter for our
ancestors was a wine-glass full of very
"hard cider," made effervescent by a
crumb of sal soda. More potent and pal
atable the "concentric force" of the pure
lemon acid. , . !
We venture to claim for this self-treat-'
meut alone, faithfully applied, more relief
for the body and stimulants to the mind
than from a battery of pills, or quarts of
herb decoction.
Eat lightly of relishing, nourishing food.
Not . the least significant of Jefferson's
sterling "Ten Rules" is tho sixth : "We
seldom repent of having eaten too little,"
above all with the inertia of early spring
upon us.
Take short brisk walks in the bright
sunshine whenever possible. Resolution
in the initiation, pertinacity in the suc-
what was originally intended, and for this
j the writer pleads a pardonable degree of
enthusiasm. Much has been left unsaid,
and what has been omitted must be em
braced under the generaUremark that the
whole place exhibits intelligence in its
management and pains-taking care in its
conduct. There is no spot around Char
lotte where an aftcrnoou can be spent
more delightfully, and certainly there is

all these purposes are conserved ; and that
is effected by rigid scrutiny into the hands
with whom they enter into contracts. 1 he
uarantees for the security of tho priso

which they are hired must be ot the most
ample kind. There must be no child's
play about it. Crime will lose an iciiois

nominal "servitude ; and if the hirer be an
irresponsible party, the county loses uot
only its costs but its expected revenue
