Widows.

Wlntcr-kSpt apples,. seasoned -u nLliai linif hilllll a 372«V»t>. msfs&zzarzsz widow Is, perhaps, the rnost interesting object In nature--ar in art. She represents experience without Its wrinkles or its gray hair. She has matronly beauty and maidenly freedom combined. Bhe is grief with a laughing eye, sorrow In a hones as festival, a silver moon in a sable cloud. Bbe is too sweet for anything! like all good things, ■be can only be created at a great sacrifice. Mre. Browning says that you mast spoil a man, and he meat be pretty thoroughly spoiled before bs can leave a widow. Thie black swan—this mournful Phoenix —rise* only out of the funeral am that holds the ashes of a husband’s heart! Let us wipe away the briny tear and proceed. Pergiit PUrUts. Poets, statesmen, heroes and philosophers have each felt the indefinable influence of widowhood. Its quality is not strained. It fells alike upon the jast aad the ualost. None can escape it. Edward Plsataganet wedded the widow Elisabeth Grey, though he knew she brought eivil war for her dowry.

Ned Waller, Joe Addison, Sam Johneoo, George Washington, Napoleon Bonaparte, John Wesley, Tony Weller, Ben. Disraeli, and all the great boys married widows. Henry the Eighth was so fond of them that ha took two| and King David was so pleased with Abigail, the widow of Nabal, whom be took to wife, that he tamed Bethsheba into a widow on purpose to merry her. Judith ceases her cogitations over the virtues of the late lamented Manasses, of Betlmlla, puts off her mourning and adorns herself in brave attire to set out for the camp of Holofernes; we feel instinctively that she will come back with his heart, bis crown or his head, whichever she goes for. When (he old Widow Naomi counsels the young widow Ruth how to lay her snares in the harvest fields of her kinsman, and spring her net on the threahiag-floor, wa know at once that the wealthy bachelor Boas Bight M well order the wedding garments. Allen Ramsey wrote a song tolling how to woo • widow; he might as well have left directions haw to get streek with lightning.

A Widow’s Varying Fortune.

The habitues of the Brnnawiek Hotel, New Yore, about a year •ge wUt remember a pretty Widow who came, and saw, and conquered a half dosea hearts in as brief timo as ever masculine flirts ware brought to the feet of female loveliness. Shu was a Californian, and when her husband died supposed herself rich, but her property consisted mainly of those uncertain Paoifio eoast mining stocks, which are np to-day end down to-morrow. When she oarae to New York her San Frauoiseo attorney advised her that the Blocks in which her fortune was Invested had deelined to * point whieh reduced her almost to beggary. She sold her diamonds, curtailed expenses, and began to think seriously of the future. The places that knew her so familiarly were loet to her gaae, and In a modest, retiring sort of way ahe endeavored to live quietly and eoonomioally. This life ooatinned nearly a year. She bad never parted with her stocks, however, for the reason the nopld not find a purchaser at a satisfactory price. About two weeks ego the priae of stocks began to rise, and a few' days ago a certain ooast mining firm on Broad street bought the oeiti&nrtet of stock from the widow for' #175,000. She is in high feather tgalo, and by judioious investment hopes to realise sufficient income to live comfortably the rest ot her life. The widow suited for Europe ob Ilk Bothnia, with some California friends, and onoe more Is a woman of fortune. —Chicago Tribmm.

A Good Way to Keep Apples One Year.

■ Years ago we always kept apples In exeellent condition daring the entire year. At a recent agrioaltnral convention in Utica, N.Y., a quantity of fair apples were exhibited which were plump, fresh and of good flavor, quite as good aa the sane kind of apples are ordinarily on the approach of spring. 71m apples had been put up in refuse boxes the year previous, and ia the following manner: A layer of dry sawdust was sprinkled at tbe hottoB) of die box, and then a foyer of apples placed in so that they do not touch each other. Upon this was placed s layer of sawdust, and soon until the box was filed. The boxes, after being packed in this way, were placed on tbe wall'm the celar, up from the ground, where they kept perfectly, mttaining their freshness and flavor Jfotil brought oat, — W. T.

His Epitaph.

- "When lam gone,’* said Lieut Hobbs, huskily, to the oh airmen of the democratic oentral committee, “whan I am gono-V’ “Goln’ fur?” queried the ehalrman. “When t am gone.” continued the warrior, not noticing the interruption, “place this inscription above my voiceless head.” And he banded him this: “Here lies the standard bearer of the partg of reform in an irredeemable district. He fell a lingering victim of wrecked and blasted hope*, which was just bis blasted look. Mortal I sit at this little mound and stndy wisdom. When you make up your mind to be a reformer, see first if you would not make a better fool.”—Burlington (la) Bawheye.

Garden Bulbs.

Now ia tbs time when bulbs should be taken up and stowed away, as the leaves of the plants remain too long in the ground. The bulbs should be put away io the shade to dry for a few days; then the tops, roots, and rough skin should be removed, and the bulbs put in paper bags, properly labeled. Bulbs that have flowered in water should, as soon as the flowers begin to fade, be removed and planted in earth, where they will get a little nourishment for the future good of the bulb; but even then the bulb is weakened, acd bulbs will not flower as well in water twice, though they will serve for planting in the garden.— Scientific American. George Eliot says that h young man’s eyes first opea to the world when he is in love. This is not always so. Usually it ia when he has gone away from home and had bis washing sent out for the first time, and finds among it when it is returned an odd stocking with two red stripes about the top; and long enough to button around his neck. —Norwich Bulletin. “The man that hath no music in his sole” is a wretch who would not hesitate to buy a creaking boot. — Punch.

Nebraska as She Really Is.

lien who visit Nebraska turn IRinole and ether states, arc astonished at what thay see aa compared with what they have heard. lathis year, 1878, Nebraska has an enormous crop of wheat, barley, cate and rye, and not aura than five per cent, of the oorn baa been lost through the “hoppers,” which peat, the men of asieaoe and those posted say, may never again visit the state. The ridiculous and almost laughable stories that am being circulated ae to the bad condition of the state are without foundation ia foot, being started by parties directly or indirectly interested. The beet thing for the land-hunter to do, is to refuse to listen to these ‘iy*™*.” and examine Nebraska for himself. He will thus be convinced, that with energy and a little capital, he can do twice as well in filming and stock-raising ia Nebraska, as anywhere east of it. It is not by chance that two-thirds of the population es America are found la the latitude of Nebraska. Agriculture forms he hasie of true wealth, cad where agriculture is prosperous there will be a people es manifold resources. It is la this very belt that the intelligence, strength and week es the United States are auriaty found. It is in this latitude only, that we are free from those extremes of heat and cold, whieh go to make forming so precarious elsewhere. , It is in this latitude only, that the Gulf Stream of immigration flows, bringing np rfludly than aaywhsie else. Things in Nebraska have reached *«bedrpek.” Those going in now will got the advantage of the lowest figures, with s certainty of better times sad large advances % the immediate future. 9-3
