MISCEL,L.A EOUS.
I5e a Woman.
Oft I've heanl a pintle mother,
Ah the twilight hours began,
Pleading with a son, on duty,
Urging him to lo a man.
Rnt into her lilii-fvfvl daughter.
Though with love's words quite as
reauy,
Points he out the other duty, ?
'StriTe, my dear, to be a lady?"
"What's a ladv? Is it something
Made of hwps, and silks, and airs,
Used to dcorate the parlor,
L,ike the fancy rugs and chairs ?
Is it one that wastes on novels
Every feeling that is human?
If 'tis this to bo a lady
'Tls not this to bo a woman.
Mother, then, unto your daughter
Speak of something higher far.
Than to be mere fashion's lady
"Woman" is the brightest star.
If ye, in your strong atfection,
Crge your son to b a man,
Urge your daughter no less strongly
To rise up and be a woman.
Yes, a woman brightest model
Or that light and perfect beauty,
There the mind, and soul, and body,
Blend to work out life's great duty
Be a man naught is higher
On the gilded list of fame ;
On the catalogue of virtue
There's no brighter, holier name.
Be a woman on to duty,
liaise the world from all that's low,
Plaoe high in the social heaven
Virtue's fair and radiant bow !
Lend thy influence to each effort
That shall raise our nature human;
B not fashion's gilded lady.
Be a brave, true, whole souled woman.
Collamer's Little Mistake.
Old Mr. Collamer. one of the
members of our church, is extreme
ly deaf. Last Sunday the clergy
man, during the sermon, had oc
casion to introduce a quotation, and
as it was quite long, he brought the
volume with him, and when the
time came he picked up the book
and began to read from it. We 'al
ways sing the Old Hundred doxol
ogy after the sermon at our church,
and Mr. Collamer, seeing the pas
tor with the book, thought the
time had come ; so while the minis
ter was reading he opened his
hymn book at the place. Just as
the clergyman laid the volume
down the man sitting next to Mr.
Collamer began to yawn, and Mr.
Collamer, thinking he was about to
sing, immediately broke out into
Old Hundred at. the top of his
voice. - As the clergyman .was just
beginning "secondly," and as there
was of course perfect silence in the
church, the effect of Mr. Collamer's
vociferation was very startling.
But the good old man didn't notice
that anything was the matter, so he
kept on and sang the entire verse
through. When he concluded he
saw that everybody else seemed to
be quiet, excepting a few who were
laughing, so he leaned over and said
out loud to the man who yawned.
"What's the matter with this con
gregation, anyhow? Why don't
they go home?" The man turned
scarlet, then the perspiration broke
out all over him, for he felt that
the eyes of the congregation were
upon him, and he would have to
yell to make Mr. Collamer hear. So
he touched his lips with his finger
as a sign for the old man to keep
quiet. But Mr. Collamer misun
derstood the motion. 'Goin' to
sing another hynm, hey ? All
right; " and he began to fumble his
hymn-book again. Then the sex
ton sailed up the aisle, and explain
ed mattersout loud to Mr. Collamer,
and that gentleman subsided while
the minister proceeded with his
discourse. The elders have writ
ten Mr. Collamer a note requesting
him in the future not to join in the
sacred harmony. The fact is too
appalling for the ribald boys in the
gallery. Max Adeler.
Automatic Telegraph.
Some of the reports that have
leaked out about an automatic tel
egraph just patented in Washing
ton, but withheld from publicity
until patented in other countries, in
timate an improvement that must
be very convenient, and sometimes
exceedingly so, and may lead to a
radical change in telegraphing. The
principle is apparently analogous
to that discovered by a Mr. Bake
well, in England, several years ago
and that has been employed with
imperfect success in France per
haps elsewhere. At each station a
cylinder is attached to the transmit
ting and receiving Instrument. The
manuscript to be sent is wrapped
around one and instantly duplica
ted on the other, no matter how
distant. The process is almost an
equivalent to photography, and is
instantaneous. It is perceptible at
a glance that the long dispatches
now sent at so much cost could be
forwarded by this means as cheaply
as the shortest, as they would occupy
no more time nor any more labor.
These plorvs are incontestiblv the best made in America for all purposes of the
Farms, and being most durable also, ARE THE CHEAPEST.
They are made of all sizes from one to six horse right or left hand, with or
without knife or revolving coulter, gaugewheel and chain.
COST according to size and furniture ONE HORSE, Plain, $12.50 to 15. Two
horse, plain, $18 to $24, actual freight charges to be added.

Mr. C. P. Knight Dear Sir : We have for several months been usiner vour

with it. thouerh it was anDlied bv one havine no exrerience in such work. vt w

Mr. C. P. Knight, Sole Agent for Bradley1 s Patent Enamel Paint.
Drab Sir I received your favor of the 3d mst., asking my opinion of the
"Bradley Patent Enamel Paint," lor which you are Agent. It affords me pleas
ure to add ray testimonial with many others, of its value and thorough adaptation
to the Rural Districts especially. Having a practical experience of thirty years in
preparing plans and building with all
used most of the material for painting, I was induced to try "BRADLEY'S
PATENT ENAMEL PAINT," owing to its portability, being mixed of all
shades and quantities to suit. I applied it for inside and outside work and found
it dried thoroughly covered the surface perfect and dried with a beautiful Enamel
luster, and covered twenty square yards two coats. I have recommended its use
to others in the eity of Washington and lower Maryland, with equal satisfaction
and good results. Mixing colors by ordinary Mechanics is not often done to the
satisfaction of proprietors and this " Paint" being already mixed all desired shades
and frequentlv to suit, renders it more desirable in " Rural Districts." I cheer
fully recommend its general use and feel
fied that it is all that is claimed Durable,
Yours respectfully,
Ashly'ns, Baltimore Bo, Md., May 27, 187
Mr. C. P. Knight : At the recommendation of a friend, I was induced to ap

has proved highly satisfactory, covering more surface than yon promised, is more
economical, and carries better gloss than ordinary paint, and is freer from disa
greeable odor. x
Baltimore, Dec. 10, 1872.
Mr. C. P. Knight Dear Sir : It affords me much pleasure to say to vou that
the Bradley Patent Enamel Paint far exceeds my expectations in economy, beau
tv. and I have every reason to believe in durability. More than twelve months
since, I painted the roof of my house (Mansion House) with the Bradley Patent
Enamel Paint, and I was so well pleased with it, I determined to paint the fronts
of the 44 Hotel," and I am most happy to say that it gives me perfect satisfaction.
In conclusion, I will say, if this testimonial will be of any advantage to you. you
are at liberty to use it.
Mr. C P. Knight, Sole General Agent,

Bradlev's Patent Enampl Paint, for
The Great, Achievement of the
Nineteenth Century.
THE IAIL.Y GRAPHIC.
All the News and full of Pictures.
The Daily Graphic is tbe title of a
newspaper, published in New York,
which is achieving the most remarkable
journalistic success ever chronicled. It
is an eight-page evening paper (three
editions daily), elegantly printed, and
conducted by the ablest editorial talent
attainable.
As a newspaper the Daily Graphic
stands in the first rank, and contains
regularly
The Very Latest and Fullest News
from all Parts of the World.
Its great feature consists iu the fact
that it is not only a newspaper, but an
illustrated newspaper as well. Four of
its pages are filled with choice reading
matter telegrams, editorials, general
and local news, items, gossip, and cor
respondence on the freshest and most
interesting topics. The remaining four
pages consist of
SPLENDID ILLUSTRATIONS,
executed in the most faultless and ar
tistic style, and portraying accurately
and fully all leading events within twenty-four
hows after their occurrence.
T&ose who have made journalism a
stady, and fully appreciate the great
enterprise manifested in the collection
and publication of news by the aid of
the telegraph, steam presses, and the
development of journalistic talent, have
been fond of advancing the theory that
the next advance in that field would re
sult in a newspaper furnishing in its
regular issues pictures of. all current
prominent events. That theory is a
theory no longer ; the newspaper of the
future is the newspaper of to-day, and
that paper is the Daily Graphic. The
processes which render this marvellous
achievement an existing fact are the re
sult of the most careful study and an
endless variety of experiments, gradu
ally perfected during the past twelve
years. They depend upon improve
ments in lithography and the applica
tion of the photographic camera. By
their aid a picture is engraved and made
ready to print in from twenty minutes
to two hours. Costly and elaborate
plates, works of arts, scenes of interest,
are reproduced and pictured forth with
equal facility and the most scrupulous
fidelity. - Illustrations of leading events
are engraved and prepared for the press
even before the accompanying written
narrative or description leaves the hands
of the compositor.
For the proper practical working of
so great an enterprise, THE GRAPHIC
COMPANY was formed, with.
A Capital of $500,000 in Gold
months and months before the first is
sue of the Daily Graphic, the most
extensive preparations were made, and
to-day THE GRAPHIC COMPANY
has
The Largest and most Complete
Newspaper Establishment
in the United States.
In the great work of illustrating the
events of the day an extensive corps of
the best known and most accomplished
artists are constantly engaged.
