The English writer Pope declared that women had 'no decided character, because they were too flighty to retain the same impression for aijy length of time. They are dark or fair, he added: that is the6nly way in which toclassfy them. Saphir used to say, "ihe hist thing women ki;ow is how beautiful they sire; tbe fir t thing they learn is how strong they are; the first thing they a e taught by expenen -e is how- week thev are, and tl e hrt thing tbey forget is how old thyare.

Or that the jeope's party and repub lican brethren would feel too gloomy to come out.

They begin to draw their sala ries and get in the swim of Washing-; ton soci-ly and imagine that everybody is happy and contented at home. Our alliance has agreed to be patient, but we are going to meet and discuss our difficulties and the many remedies sug gested, pick out the best ones and ak Congress to help us. That is the proper way. Let us go at everything in a business way and consider every thing well so as to avoid mistakes. In this way we will command the respect of all men and make nutcli headway in the next few years. Yours in a good humor, Jake Warner. Bnstetl Town Booms.

Deacon Sharp, who lives in th Buckeye Valley, has never married. He made the attempt once, says the Free Press, but his humility and piety worked against him, He was the -auie long, solemn-visaged chap then that he is now, with what is known as a"gift of prayer." In season and out of season he was ready at any moment oflop down ou his knees aud tell all he knew of spiritual grace. There were those who said he liked to hear himself talk. On this occasion he asked Jenny Price to be his partner foi iife and Jenny, who was a prime little school teacher, consented. ..Then Ihe deacon flopped. He began in his usual strain by invoking for- ieness for his sins. He was every- - I ihiii" that was vile, and as he enuuier ated the crimes laid down in lus own imagination Jenny began to fidget. . t last she Uuched the deacon on ti e O hler. Vou need'nt pray on my account," s e said; "I vouldn't think of marrying s ch a wicked sinner. If you are only h-If as bad i-s you siy you are, 1 w. uldn't have you. I hope you will r"i e it lefort it is too late." And she le t the as'oui-hed deacon o I is own ic ectio.i up n m . trim nd grace. Between the Liu 8.

There was a Fort of lull ju.-t then in army matters in the valley, and it was tacitly understood be tween opposing pickets that tbere should be no firing. My. post was under a dead tree, within screen of bushes in front. Having no pouche to keep me dry, and knowing that the relief would not come fur over au hour vet. I advanced at "left oblique" for about 40 paces to a large tree, winch mourned f belter. 1 had stood with my back to the trunk for 10 or 15 minutes when I thought I heard a noise on the ther side. Pigs w ere often met with in the woods on our front, ami as I turned and carefully poked my bead out from behind the trunk I fully expect ed to see one. What 1 did se, however. Was the face of a man who had poked his head out to see around on in v fide. The trunk was about three feet through and our faces were pretty cloe together. 1 knew at first irlance that lie was a Johnny." and lie also knew I was a 'Yank." We looked al each other for a minute, and then he cahnlx inquired : I bat vou, Yank?" Yes, That you, Johnny?" "'1 1 nought you was hoj-.s." "So did I." "What we gwiue to do about it?' "Nothing." "That suits me. Come around vcreon my dry spot." I moved around and we Pat down. andj"hile we tnlkid I waclh d n wnv and he the other. At tho end oi iliree quarters of an hour we got up to go and ue said; 'Ucckon I'll know you irext time 40 roils olf, ami I'll aim high." "SoMlI" "Come over to my house some day." "Thanks, and you drop in on me when ever you can." We turned back to back and walked away, each fully trusting the other, and it was our first ami last visit. A week later, after tbe battle which routed Ear iy, I saw tbo poor fellow lying among the dead on the dusty Berry ville pike. J. Quad. Military Utile in I ur pc.

"I like chestnuts now," said a prom inent doctor as he walked down the street munching at some of the floury morsels, "but later on when the worms beinn to showup iu them I don't care for any. It would perhaps interest you to know how worms gel into chestnuts. When the nut is still green au insect comes along, and hunting a warm place in which to have its egj:s hatched, lights upon the gived chestnut and stings it. At the same time it deposits some of its ejrgs in the opening thus made. The chestnut begins to ripen and at the same time the eggs nro hatching. "ine insect selects caesiums as a place for dcpofiiiug its eggs as being the best adapted place by instinct. 1 hi Houry matter in the nut turns to sugar aud stiuar tarns to carbon, which pro duces beat. You don't need to look for worms in the early part of the chestnut season, as it taKcs some time ior the cirgs to hatch. ' The chestnut is a very good food; the flour or starchy matter makes it very nutritious. Iu some place iu Italy the inbab lnuls make flour of those large Italian chestnuts and make bread. Some families use no other kind of flour than "Talking about Hour, 1 saw a very peculiar kind made from bananas. The bread made from it was Very palatable, bur I think il would lie miner hard oi. the digestive organs as a regular diet." (Pittsburg Di'xjxitch. Old Time Englidi Juri.s.
