Site Be a Woman. Oft Pre heard a gentle mother, As the twilight hours began, Pleading with a son on duty, Urging him to be a man. But unto her blue-eyed daughter, Tho’ with love’s ords quite as ready. Points she out the other duty—- “ Strive, my dear, to be a lady.” What’s a lady? Is it something Made of hoops and silks and airs, Used to decorate the parlor, Like the fancy rings and chairs? Is it one that wastes on novels Every feeling that is human ? If 'tie this to be a lady, ’Tis not this to be 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 you. in your strong affection, Urge your son to be a true man, Urge your daughter no less strongly To arise and be a woman. Yes, a woman! brightest model Os that high and perfect beauty, Where the mind and soul and body Blend to work out life’s great duty. Be a woman naught is higher On the gilded crest of time; On the catalogue of virtue, There’s no brighter, holier name. gUmlbinmu. Them Harness. A poet says: “O, she was fair, but sorrow came and left his traces there.” What became of the rest of the harness he don’t stats.— Erie Dispatch. Ono ! Further down the hill of poetrj- it says: “Come with me, my lassie, and I’ll take thee to thy Harne." The balance of the harness is still missing.— La Crosse Democrat. You are mistaken about that. The same poet, speaking of the same lady, says: “And all the Lines that sorrow left, have faded out in joy.” The rest of the harness is still missing.— Exchange. No! Still another piece has turned up, for further on the muse informs us that, “Loving hands and simple flowers had decked her i for the Bridal.” Nothing has yet transpired as to the whereabouts • of the rest of the harness.— York : Rep. All a mistake, for hath not Addison said : “Give me but the Be t; this waist hath round, a fig take all ' the rest the world around.” Don’t j be discouraged, friends, the rest of ■ the harness is sure to come.— 0. i N. Jour. Os course it is, for hath not the ■ poet said : “W hen Greek meets ' Greek then comes the Tug of war.” i Pass along the balance.— Toledo I Blade. We found a part of it “within a mile of Edinboro’ town,” where “the lassie blushed and frowning cried, no, no, it will not do; I can- ! not,cannot, wonnot, wonnot, mon-: not Buckle to.” Who can hitch j up the rest of the harness ?— , Cleveland Herald. The remainder can be found. I Shakspeare makes Macbeth say: , “Blow wind, come wreck! at last we'll die with harness on our back.” ( Find out where Macbeth is buried, ! and the harness is thar.— Cleve- . land Leader. An Incident in the Early History of Greenbacks. Texts of Scripture have often been inscribed upon coins. One 1 ' of the most remarkable is on a copper coin issued by the Papal Government, on which are the words, Ftt t'oiir divitibus — “Woe toyoil who are rich! ’ When the 1 greenbacks were first issued by the ' i United States, Mr. Chase, then i Secretary of the Treasury, con- j I suited, among others, the Preai- ‘ i dent of one of the Philadelphia I banks in regard to placing some ■ motto upon them, such, for exam-1 < pie, as has since beeu impressed i! upon the five cent pieces—“ln God we trust.” Aller mentioning several Scriptural texts that had oc-I, curred to him, the Secretary asked ), our banker’s opinion. “Perhaps,” j was the reply, “the most appropri- | ate would he—“ Silver and gold . have I none: but such as I have i< give I thee!’” The project was • | abandoned,— Lippincott's Mag. Delightful TffecTs ot Habit. Habit is everything. We have all heard the story of the man who 1 slept above a baker’s oveu for twenty years, then changed his lodgings, but had to go back to the oven before he could sleep. A case ■ illustrating the same principle re--1. cently occurred in Ohio. A city !' man, accustomed to lodge on one us the noisiest streets, visited a country friend. Too much quiet destroyed bis rest at night. His friend felt for his distress, aud said he would try to-relieve it. Accordingly he went to a neighbor’s > and procured a bass drum, which he beat under the follow's bedroom window, and had his boy run a squeaking wheelbarrow up and down on the porch, while his wife ‘ played on the piano, and his servant pounded on his chamber door with the tongs. In this manner the sufferer was enabled to get two , or three hours of quite refreshing sleep, though it was heavy on the : family.

• ■ ur ' Mark of 11l Breeding. = i There is no better test of ill breeding than the practice of interrupting another in conversation by speaking or commencing a remark before another has fully closed. No well bred person ever does, nor continues conversation long with one who does. The latter finds an interesting conversation abruptly waived, closed or declined by the former, without suspecting the cause. A well bred person will not even interrupt one who is in all respects greatly his inferior. It is often amusing to see persons priding themselves on the gentility of their manners, and putting forth all their efforts to appear to advantage in many’ other respects, so readily betray all in this respect. Wooden Shota for Horses. Tho Milwaukee Sentinel tells the following: Mr. Henry Luehring, of the town of Greenfield, is one of the wealthiest farmers in the county. He owns a well cultivated farm of four hundred and fifty acres, which, under superior management, yields , him a handsome income. His land embraces a large tract of meadow land, with bottom of very yielding : and unreliable nature, which, through his ingenuity, is also worked to advantage. During the haying season he straps large 1 wooden shoes to his horses’ feet, ■ and by means of a wagon whose tires are five inches wide, manages to haul a ton at a time, where, under ordinary circumstances, he would be unable to secure half that amount. The horses, it is said, . manifest no dislike to their novel foot gear. A Home Thrust.—Daniel Webster wrote, after continued provocation, to the editor of a newspa- ' per which referred to his private : affairs, and especially to his not i paying his debts. He said sub--1 stantially : “It is true that I have not always paid my debts punctu- ! ally, and that I owe money. One ) cause of this is that I have not pressed those who owe me for pay. i As an instance of this, I enclose j your father's note made to me ' | thirty years ago formoney lent him | , to’educate his boys.”

One of the negro preachers at i Natchez said : “Now, my colored ; brethren, you must remember that ) it was the Radicals wliv.freed you, 'and if you put them-into power they will make laws for you, such ! ns taking away the lands from the . white folks and giving them to ■ you, for all the lands here belong . I by right to you, as it was the col- j . ored people who worked and made I the money with which the white folks bought the lands, and you must not believe the rebels when : they tell you that the Radicals can : not make such laws, for if they ’ I could take the slaves away from ! (heir masters, thev can take the : \ lands too.” Who is she? A. writer in the: New York Evening Post tells of a j “strong-minded woman whose ■ name is perpetually appearing in ■ the papers,” who took forcible: possession of a sleeping apart- I ment on a Washington train, re- j fused to vacate, when its owner, a i gentleman, made his appearance, and when he disrobed and went to sleep in her presence, she did also lie down by his side “in all her loveliness.” Rev. D. B. Pinch, Rector of the Church of St. Sal, Syracuse, has discovered that the Onondaga giant is no other than the petrified i help-meet of the Scriptural Lot, that lady, it will be remembered, having been turned to a pillar of 1 salt. He argues that Mrs. Lot came over byway of Behring's Straits in her present form. The people of Abyssinia arc so well aware of the great loss with which their country ha’s suffered by the death of Thecdorus, that they have begun to venerate him as a saint. The German mission- i 1 aries in Abyssinia report that thou- : sands of pilgrims visit his grave, i where a number of miracles are 1 said to have occurred. The ladies of Dallas, Oregon, lately got up some tableaux for the benefit of a church, among which | was one exiled the “New Order of! Things.” In it the men were rep- i resented as nursing babies, making bread, and talking one another to : death, while the women were chop-' ping wood and doing other outdoor work. The picture was re ceivcd with applause. An Irishman recently stopped at a hotel in Des Moines, lowa, where pretty high bills were charged.— In the morning the landlord made) out the amount of damages and presented it to Pat. After he had glanced over it, the latter looked the landlord in the face and exclaimed : “You put me in mind of a snipe.** “Why ?” asked the landlord. “Because ye’ie very nigh all bill.” • Six individuals composed the I late “Irish Republican Horace Greeley CaHipsign Clnfc ’’
