BY MRS UENRY WARD HKF.CH ER.
The young lady who rised earl;, and

afterward cheerfully and smilingly puts 1
the house in order, without leaving it j
fur ber motlior to do, is worth a dozen
parlor.beauties who tit languidly on so
fa easy chairs, laoning, or lor a few 1
moments drum on the piano, then take
up a bock, find no interest in it, and for
want of really healthy exercise half die
from aheer indolence" ,j
The former will make a good wife and ;
mother, and her home will be a paradise
where husband and children will find
rest and amusement far uiore satisfaoto
ry than can be found io parties or gen
teel dissipations, while they hourly call
ber blessed who lias madj home the
sweetest spot on earth. But the latter
how sad the thought—can be but a
pretty, useless piece of furniture. ID
that which she thinks geoteol to do—
aod she will by oo means stoop to do
anything that is not—can she find real
peace aod tru2 enjoyment ? Restless,
dissatisfied and fretlul all the looming,
the hour for reeeiviug calls arrives, she
finds a kiud of pleastite in dressing for
the occasion, or anticipating the frivo
lous enteriaiumeut she looks lorward to
Yet often these anticipations prove a
(alive How often among these callers
over whom she wastes many hours, thore
will be one marplot, to uncongenial to
herself and those other friends who may
call that the morning's oxpeoted pleas
ure, meager as it may be, ie a source of
keen annoyance' perhaps in part atoned
lor afur the offensive guest departs in
the low and rude satisfaction of turning
the uufurturiate 000 into ridicule.
If this hot house plant decides to
leave tbe house and make a round ef
senseless calls herself, how much picas
are will she bi* likely to secure ? How
often a lew wi.r'l* oiwkily .gossip rouse
an envious or jealous spirit in ber breast
that is a source of keen torture to ber
for days.
N,w here ure two paths, eiher of
which our y ung giris ui iy ohoo»e, aud
on that choice the happiness or misery

the mother whether these young girls, ;

companionship s.-nsiole parents will seek
to bring about them, or shall learn to |
seek amusement in lashionnble society

at home !
With the first class of patents we look
to SUM our young girls develop into gen

"Hoy, do you know what th»t can

"Beer," responded the stripling.
''Exactly," continued the tramp ;
"aad that beer contains glucose, coccu

enough to kill any man "
The lad set the pail down and moved
off a little ;rom it, whereupon tbe tramp
picked it un, and was raising it to his

"Ain't you sfraid of it ?"

the cellar and placed upnn blocks or
skids with the bungs up. Next remove
the buna's, filling tbe barrels full with
pure apple j'lioe. Fermentation will
soon take plact, and un; impure matter
or potnnce will work out at the lniti|;
hole. As this works out add more ap
pie juice to keep the barrel continually
full, otherwise the impurities in place of
working out of the top ot the barrel will
rise against tl.e top of the barrel and
remain there, {a tins be ef
feotually done it must be looked after

ceases and oo more matter rises the bnngs

Gathering uud Storing Apples.
Ingathering apples frirn the trees to

two ltd wide st the botom and tapering
to a point at top —the two ends to be
beveled toghther and pitincd —this style
of ladder being more easy to handle and
place among the top branches ot a tree
than tho ones oomuionly used, and uot
so mu -li danger of knocking off tho fruit.

twist of the hands ir wilt separate readi

It Bhould be gently laid (not oarelessly
thrown) in the basket, tho ountonts of
which, when full, should be carefully
emptied upon a table fixed for the pur
pose, tbe time to ce covered with a
blanket or quilt to prevent bruising
This tabie shold be about six feet long
and three feet wide, and have a strip
about two inches wide nailed all arouud
the edges to keep the apples from roll

to makj three grades of tho apples—
tho one of perfect fruit, another of raih
er iuferior quality and tbe third of
such as are fit only for oider or to be

twn sorts io barrels lay a single course
on tne bottom stems downward, and so
proceed until the barrel is full, except
that the last course should be placed
with stems upward, takiug care to shake
the batrel well a time or two during the
process ot filling. Too nauoh oare cannot
be taken in tbe above respects, for upon
the careful obeervsnce ot all success in
the production of first claps fruit depends

sell his fruit lor what he oan get rath

market or more satisfactory prices. The
barrels so filled may then be herded up
and set away io eome cool place until

M.OR\L CONDITIO!* or oi'R PIMVLB
Messrs kiditora ; It is painful to a re
flecting uiind to think of til" moral con
dition ol many around us. We are trou
bled, as ol urch people, ov*r the moral
condition of the heathen of other lan Is;
! and wo are willing to expend thou-und*
1 nt d'dlais to send the gospel to them j
1 while around us under the very shadow
I of o\ir churches and chapels may bo
1 found many, many persons who have not
j heard a sermon iu years, and who know
nothing of tho plan of salvation, and
! oa. e as little as ihey kuow.
There isn't any fairness in this life.
