Things ha? come to a pretty pass
The whole wide country over,
When every married woman has
To have a triend or lover ;
It ain't the way tbat I was raised,
An' I hain't no desire
To have foroe fellow pokiu' round
Instend of my Josiar.

That we won o»t wMktn'

An' kep' on hovts • la! kin' ;
He twisted up tny apron string
An' folded it together,
An' saiif he thought for harvest time
'Twas ccr'ua kind o' wfrither.
Tl* »ui» went do«m as we «ot there
Josiar seemed uneasy,
An' mother she begun to call:
"Lowieiy I oh, Loweczy !"
An' then Josiar spoke right up,
As I was just a Btartm'.
An' said, "Loweeay, what's the uec
Of us two ever partiu' ?"
It kind o' took me by suprise,
Au' yet I kuew 'twas cumin'—
I'd heard it all ihe summer long.
In every wild bee's huminin' ;
I'd studied out tke way I'd act,
But law I I couldn't do it ;
1 latnnt to hide my love from bim,
But seems as if he kneW it,
Aa' lookin' down into my eves
lie must a seen the lire,
And ever since that.hour I've loved
An' worshipped my Josiar.
I can't tell what the women mean
Who let men foul around 'eui
Believiu 1 all the nonsense that
They only say to sound 'em j
1 know, for one, I've never seen
The man that I'd admire,
To have a hangin' alter u>e,
Instead of my Josiar.

A Letter of John Buskin to a Young
Girl.
Keep absolute calui of temper under
all changes, receiving everything that is
provoking or disagreeable toyuu as COUD
iog directly from Christ's hand ; and the
more it is like to provoke you, thank
him for it the more, as a young scldier
would- his general for trusting him with
a hard place to hold on the rampart.
And remember, it docs not, in the least,
matter what happens to you—whether a
clumsy school fellow tears your dress, or
a shrewd one laughs at you, or the gov
erness doesn't understand you. The
one thing needful is that none of these
things vex you For your mind at this
time of your youth is crystalising like
sugar oandy; and tbe least jar to it,
flaws the crystal, and that permanently
Say to yourselves every morning just
after your prayers, "Whoso forsaketh
not all that be hath, cannot bo my dis.
ciple." That is exactly and completely
true, meaning that you are to give all
you have to Christ, to take care of for
you. That if be doesn't take care of it,
of oourse you know it wasa't worth any
thing And if he takes anything from
you, you know you are better without it.
You will not indeed, at your age, have
to give up houses, or lands, or boats, or
nets ; but you may perhaps break yoar
favorite teacup, or lose your (avorito
thimble, and might be vexed about it.
What, after this surrender, you find
intrusted to you, take extreme care of,
and make as useful as possible. The
greater part of all tbey have is usually
given to grown-up people by Christ
merely that they may give it away again •
but sohool girls, for tiie most part, are
likely to have little more than what is
needed for themselves; of which, whether
bjoks, dresses, or pretty room furniture,
you are to take extreme care, looking on
yourself, iudeed, praoiioslly as a little
housemaid, set to keep Christ's books
and room in order, and not as yourself
tbe mistress of anything.
If you make the ajaj of your life
amusement, tbe day will oome when all
tbe agonies of a pantomime will not
bring you an honest laugh. Play ac
tively and gayly; and eheriah without
straining the natural powers of jest in
others and yourselves; remembering all
the while that your hand, in every in
stant is on the helm of the ship of you r
life, sod that the Master on the far shore
of Araby tbe blest, looks for its sail on
the horizon.
Well, do you want to be better drossed
than your sohool-fellows ? Some of
probably poor, and cannot af
ford to dreßS like yoo ; or, on the other
hand, you may bs poor yourselves, and
may De mortified at their being dressed
better than you Put an end to all that
at onoe, by resolving to go down into
the deep of your ghfa heart, where you
will find, inlaid by Christ's own htnd, a
better thing than vanity—pity.
You may become a Christ's lady if
yon i viU —but you must will vigorously
—there is no possible compromise.
D ANBURY, N. C., THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1881.
M >st people think if they keep all tho
best rooms in their hearts swopi and
garnished for Christ, with plenty of
flowers and good books in them, I hat
they may keep a little chamber in'their
heart's wall for Belial, on his occasional
visits, or a three-legged stool for him in
the heart's counting house, or a corner
for him in the heart's scullery, where he
uiay lick the dishes. It won't do my
diarcst! You must cleanse the house
of him, as you woolj of the plague, to
the last spot. You mwt be resolved
lhat as all you are shall be God's ; and
you are to make it so, simply and
by thinkiog always of yourself merely
as sent to do this work, and considering
at every leisure time what you are to do
next. Don't fret nor tease yoarielf
about it, far less other people. But
know and feel assuredly that every day
of your lives you have done all you can
for the good of others."
Train the Boys for Business.
There is one clement in the home in
struction which boys receive prior to
their advent into (he business world to
which too little attention has been
given. We mean the cultivation of
habits of punctuality, system, order,
and responsibility. In too many house
holds, boys from twelve to seventeen
years are administered to too mueh by
loving mothers or other female members
of tho family. Boys, lives through
thoBQ years are the halcyon days of their
existence Up in the morning, just in
season for breaklast; nothing to do but
start off early enough so as not to be
late; looking upon an errand as taking
so much time and memory away from
enjoyment ; little thought of personal
appearand? except when reminded by
mother to "spruce up" a little finding
his wardrobe always where mother puts
it—in fact, having nothing to do but en
joy himself.
Thus his life goes on until school ends.
Then he is ready lor business, lie goes
into an office where everything is system,
order, and precision, lie is expected to
keep things neat and orderly, sometimes
kindle firos, filo letter*, do errands—in
short, become part of a nicely-regulated
machine, where everything moves in sys
tematic grooves, and each one is responsi
ble for the correctness in his department,
and where, in plaoe of ministers to his
oomfort, he finds taskmasters, more or
lees lenient, to be sure, and everything
in marked contrast to his previous life.
Io many ftistances the change is 100
great. Errors become numerous, blun
ders, overlooked at first, gel to be mat
tersof serious moment, then patience is
overtasked, and the boy is told his ser
vices are no longer wanted. This is his
first blow, and sometimes he never ral
lies from it. Then oomes the surprise
to the parents, who too often never know
the real cause, nor where they have fail
ed in the training of their children.
What is wanted is every boy to have
something special to do, to have some
duty at a definite hour, and to learn to
wateh for that hour to come, to be an
swerable for a oertaio portion of the rou
tine of the household, to be trained to
anticipate the time when he may enter
the ranks of business, aud to be fortified
with habits of energy, accuracy, and ap
plication.— Ex.
How do you Keep Your room P
A look into the chamber of a boy
or girl will give one an idea what kind
of man or woman he or she will proba
bly become. A boy who keeps his
clothes hung up neatly, or a girl whose
room it clean always, will be very apt
to make a successful man or woman.
Order aad neatness are essential to our
comfort as well as to that of others
about us. A boy who throws down
his cap or boots anywhere will never
keep his aecounts in shape, will do
things ia a slovenly, careless way, and
not be long wanted in any position.
A girl who does not make her bed till
after dinner, and site should always
make it herself rather ihao have a ser
vant do it, and throws bee dress or
bonnet down ia a chair, will'make a
poor wife in nine cases out of ten. If
the world could see how a girl keeps
her dressingroom, some unhappy mar
riages would be saved.— Congregation'

Some one has eaid of a fine and hon
orable old age that it was the ohildhood'
pi immortality
"Don't Take My Crown."
At a meeting iu the London Home of
; Industry, llev. W. Huslam related
the following incident : ''A Christian
man, who had formerly been an earnest
worker for Christ, had become engrossed
I in worldly pursuits and forsaken hie
warm Grst love. One night he dreamed
that he bad beeu caught jp to Heaven,
J and that he was to see some of the
I marvelous things in that borne of God.
Among other things he was taken iuto
a u>agnificerit chambcr«-the crown room
Here the angel who was
his Jfuida pointed oat one alter another
I of the beautiful crowns, and told him
who they wero intended for, mentioning
; the names of various friends of his own
who were well known for their Christian
| labors. Every one seemed shining in
splendor and beanty, but the man in
bis dream was impressed by one crown
J in the centre which the angel passed by.
! He ventured to ask, "Whose crown is
, this?" but the angel paid no heed to
| the inquiry.
As he passed on the lougiug grew
more intense to know more about lhat
| one crown, and again he ventured to
ask, "Whose - is that crown?" Still
the angel paid no heed, but went on to
speak of other crowns. Tho man's wholo
soul was filled by an eager desiro to
know about that crown, at last be stood
still and implored the angel to tell him
whose crown it was. A look of intense
pity passed over the angel's face and he
dropped the rod with which bt had
been pointing out the other crowns, and
i said, "It was thy crown, but it is thine
no longer" In the agony of this
revelation the man awoke from his
I sleep, and sprang out of bed, fell on his
1 knees and cried out, "Lord, don't take
my crowu!" Then and there he reviewed
his past life, saw the danger of his cold
and careless state, and confessing all
before God, received pardon afresh and
was brought back to the joy of commuo
l i{.» *ith pod. yFrom that titjue he con
! tiuued an earnest and faithful laborer

A Woman's Quick Wit
Tba pari of Tennessee through which
1 have been knocked about ia full of re
miniscences of the war, but there is none
of the bitterness left. In war time the
people were greatly divided in their sen
timents, and no wan could tell t'other
from which. Thisrcmaik reminds me
of a story 1 beard yesterday about an
estimable woman ot seventy odd, who
died two or three years ago here on the
mountains. One day, during the war,
when the country was fairly alivo with
guerrillas, she had occasion to lake some
valuable goods with bnr on a trip she was
making, and put them on her horse,
back of her. When she had gone some
distance in the woods she heard a fquad
of guerrillas approaohing, and knowing
her goods would not be safe for a mo
ment, she straddled her horse, man
fashion, and throwing her long skirt over
the package behind her, completely oon.
oealed it. When the guerrillas rode up
she was unable to guess whether they
belonged to the North or to the South—
their uniform being no solution what
ever. She determined, if questioned, to
play a bluff game with them, and she
soon had a chance to exercise her wit'
"Hallo!" called one of the guerrillas
"Hello !" she returned. ''Whatside are
you on ?" he challenged. She laughed
a good laugh at him as she replied, kick
ing out her feet, "Oo both sides, of
coarse ; can't you see t" This brought
a roar from the whole squad, and tbey
began to banter bcr in her own fashion
"YVhieh side is your old man on J" ask
ed one of them "He's on neither side,"
she laughed ; "he's on his back, and has
been for years." Suoh wit saved her (
and they let her pass on unmolested.—
Letter to Cincinnati Commercial.
Be kind to lightning rod men and
hook agents. They have fathers per

knew them in their innocent youth.
Perhaps even now, in some western Til

and sweet lips breath love's dearest
payers for their welfare. Therefore lay

peacefully on their breasts, and close
their eyes gentle as you yut. them to

Honor th.v Mother.
It was a cold night in winter. The
wind blew, and the snow was whirled
furiously about seeking to hide itself
buneath cloaks and hoods, and in the
very hair of those who were out. A
distinguished lecturer w*b to speak, and,
notwithstanding the storm, the villagers
very generally ventured forth to bear
hitn.
William Annesly, buttoned up to his
chin in his thick ovorcoat, accompanied
! his mother. It was difficult to walk
through the fallen snow against the
i piercing wiad, and William said to bis
| mother ;
1 ''Couldn't you walk easier if you took
j my arm ?"
"Perhaps I could," bis mother replied
1 as she put her arai through his and
drew up as oloscly as possible (o him.
| Togetl er tbey breasted the storm, the
mother and the boy who bad once been
carried in her arms, but who had now
grown up so tall tbat she oould leau on

] when he said :
"I am very proud, to-night, mother."
' Proud that you can take care ol
me she said t j him with a heart gush
iug with teoderness.
"This is the first time ycu have
leaned upon me," said the happy
j boy.
There will be few hours in that child's

"Your Mother Begs It."
It is said that in the early days of
her wedded lifj (j 'eon Victoria had
one of those squabbles with her hus
band, of the sort which will come about
sometimes even between the most lov
ing couples. Chagrined and vexed the
Prince retired to his room and looked
the door. The Queen took the matter
quietly for awhile, but after the lapse of
an bour she went to bia door and rap
ped.
"Albert," she said, "come out."
"No, I will not," answered the Prince,
within. "Come, go away j leave me
alone "
The royal temper waxed hot at this.
; '§ir," she cried, "come oat at once
j The Queen, whose subject you are, com
mands you "
i He obeyed immediately. Entering Iho
room sh» ileaignated, ho sat down in
silence For a long time nothing was
J said. The Queea was the first to break
| the silence
"Albert," she said, "speak to me "
"Does the Queen command it ?'' he
asked.
I "No," she answered, throwing her
arms about bis neok, "your wife begs
it."

Bill Arp's Views on Kducation.
There's more in the boy than there
!is in the college. Io these days of
cheap books any boy or girl cat get an
education if they want it, but my obser
vution is that out more thau one io ten
want au unusual quantity. If the fam
ily takes a good newspaper and has a
Bible and a few books in the house and
the children do an honest day'B work
they'll get a long about as well as the
college boys io tbo long run and do as
much good in the world. Congress has
got more smart men than any place. I
! reckon, but if I was hunting for honest
men I would cruise rouod outside awhile
before I weut io, and if I was bubting
patriois who thought it fweet to die
| for their country I wouldn't go in at
nil. The best people I knew of and
the most reliable io time of trouble are
living an humble life an making no
noise in the world, and they are not
surfeited with education either.— A

VENTILATE YOUR CLOSETS —The
Scientific American tells us that soiled
undergarments or the wish clothes
ought not be put into a oloset, ventila
ted or not ventilated. They should be
placed ia a large bag made for the

put in a wellaired room at some distance
from the family. Having thus exclu
ded one of tbo tcrtil sources of bad odors
in closets, the next point is to see that
the close's are properly ventilated
It maters not how clean tho clothing
in the oloset may be, if there i; no
ventilation, that elothiog will not be
