It wu in the chill December That the Angel of Death came by. And he rustled his wines of dark neue Ai he swept through the wintry sky: A household of happy creatures Dwelt quiet, and free from care. And the angel stole in softly. And stood all silent there. (But the children laughed and sang at their play Never a fear nor a pang had they.) And the angels swiftly in silence Struck home the mortal blow. And in the wintry morning He laid the father low; And wildly the sorrowful mother. Bewildered and stunned with woe, Wailed in her lono bireavement, v And wished that she too might go. (Bat the childreu laughed and sang at their ply : Never a fear or a pang had they.) Cold in the lonely chamber l.ay the father's form at rent; And they laid the delicate ttower-wreaths Upon his quiet breast ; And forth from hi home they bore him. Ami bid him from sound and sight: And they heaped the cold earth above Mm While the children's feet trod light. tRut the boys went home to their happy play; Never a fear nor a aii had they.) And often the childish footsteps Are turned to their father's grave. Where the grass with its glistening hoarfrost. Lies over that heart so brave; And sometimes they watch their mother liemllng in sorrow and pain; And they say iu their childish voices; "Will pap never come again?" (But soon they laugh and sing at their play: Never a fear nor paug have they.) Sa God in Iiis infinite pity Shuts the eyes of the children dear. And they see not the fell destroyer. Though their eyes are bo bright and clear. And I said: "There's no pa for tha children With its terrible panes and sting; And for them no brooding future Spreadeth its threatening wings. All they see ia the aeeaent to-day : A nd so they laugh and sing at their play." A Lady' Mistake. David Dodge lived on a farm where there was a great deal of work to be done, lie did all he could to help his father and mother They kept a large nock ot hens and Davy sola the eg. Jvery Saturday ne went into the villaee and carried them. Iiis mother packed them in several baskets so they should not get broken. People liked to buy ege of him because he did not sell any but very fresh ones; so he had as many customers as he could sup ply. One Saturday he started off with his load Mrs. Slater's house was the first he came to Mrs. Slater was an excellent lady, and never asked Davy to wait till another week for his pay. tXnd besides paying him promptly she would sometin- give him a piece of cake or pie. Once she gave him a large orange. So he was always glad to go to Mrs. Slater's. This time when he went to her house he wanted to buy four dozen e 17 irs. She had some visitors and had to make a eood ranv D'lddines. CT . a lJ w When site p him for them Ehe took the money out of a coarse cloth bag. Davy had seen her take money out of a big pocketbook, and out cf an old purse with a steel clasp, but he ha 4 never seen the cloth bag before. When she was counting the money into hi hand she said, "There's one bright cent for you. ' Davy saw that the cent was bright and did not look like the other cents, but ho did not say aay thing about it. Mrs. Slater tied up the bag and put it away. Then she gave Davy a little cake spiced with seeds, which was very nice. After this he drove on to the other places and"solJi'w egsjs. At last he had only one dozen left, and these were for Mrs. Wilkins. When he r ot to hor house she wanted hint to change a bill for her. She wanted some small pieoes of money. So Davy gave her the small pieces and took her bill. I he bright cent was among the pieces he gave her. When Mrs. Wilkins saw that she snid, "Why, what ia this? it ia cot a centl This is a five-dollar gold piece." Davy had never seen any gold money in all his life, and t.e looked at her with surprise. Theii he told ber how Mrs. Slater had given it to him for a cent. "The poor old lady has lost her eyesight," said Mrs. Wilkins. "She did not know what she was doing." !4I shall carry it back to her when I go home," said Davy. "Won't Bhe laugh when I tell her what a big blunder she has made?' When he got back to Mrs. Slater's he carried the gold piece in to her. lie told her that she had given it to him for a cent. 'O, bless me! bless me 1" exclaimed the old lady. Yes, I did have some gold in that bag. Well, I shall have to get some new glasses after this." She was so much pleased that Davy had brought it back so soon, and laughed mer rily over her mietako. Davy went home that night with a funny tory to tell, and he and Mrs. Slater had many a laugh together about "That bright cent." The Khinoceros Itlrd. Five Years la Poeth Africa, by Cuming. These rhinoceros birds are constant atten dants upon the hippopotamus and the four varieties of rhinoceros, their object being t feed upon the ticks and other parastic insects tii ax swarm upon mese animais. rney are of a grayish color, and are nearly as large as a common thrush. Many a time have these ever-watchful birds disappointed me in my f talk, and tempted me to invoke an anathema upon their devoted heads. They are the best friends the rhinoceros has, and rarely fail to awaken him even in his soundest nap. "Chukuroo'r perfectly understands their warning, and springing to his fret he generally first looks about him in every 'direction, after which he invariably makes off. I have often hunted a rhinoceros on horseback, which led me a chae of many miles, and required a number of shots before he fell, during which chase several of these birds remained by the rhinoceros till the last. They remind me of mariners on the deck of some bark sailing on the ocean, for they perched alorg bis back and sides; and &3 each of my bullat told oc the shoulder of the rhinocw o", they ascended about six feet into the air. uttering theifvharsh cry of alarm, and then resumed their"' position. It sometime happened that the lower branches of tres, unJer which the rhinoceros passed, swept them from their living deck, but they always recovered their former station; they also adhere to the rhinoceros during the night. I have often shot these animals at midnight, when drinking at the fountains, and the birds, imagining they were asleep, remained with them tili morning, and oa my approaching, before taking flight, they exerted themselves to their utmost to awaken Chukuroo from his deep sleep. Charlie' Chickens, It was ia the spring time. Charlie papa ad been planting ia his garden and Oaarlit had beea a vsry tromtla ftps licit XveljK t&a r wvrfc,

till his papa had given him a little corner, and told him he might have that for his garden. Charlie was very anxious to know what he should Taue ' in his garden, but could not seem to decide upon any of tho many things proposed to him. One morning, before papa went to work, he established old Brownie and Speckle, each with a family of the downiest little chickens you ever saw, in a sunny corner of the yard. Charlie was, of course, on hand to help in settling tho two families; and he asked papa a great many questions about the chickens. "Will those little mites of chickens grow

to b great big hen biddies, papa?' Yes." "Just like old Speckle and Brownie?" Yes." 'And lav eggä, papa?'' Yes.' I Can anybody make little chickens grow? Yes." replied papa, not thinking what Charlie meant by his questions. fThnrlin stool" for some time in deep thought, and then he said, Well, I guess I'll raise hens in my garden, -nay it Miuh to Charlie's surprise, papa laughed long and heartily before he answered him; but as h didn t say ".No, cnarne aian i care. He ran into the house to get his little basket, and when he came out again ppa was gone. Charlie worked busily lor some time till he had hia little basket well filled with feathers. Then he took his little shovel and went to his garden. He was busy here for a long time, trotting back and forth, digging and talking to himself. Mamma looked out of the window and smiled t see her little boy so buy and happy. Presently he ran into the houc, and ran eagerly up stairs to find his mamma. fh mamma " he cried, as soon as he caught bight of her, "will you buy eggs of me?" "Kggs of you, Charlie? Why, you have no hens." "Hut I'm going to have," he said. Where are you going to get them?" asked mamma, smiling down into the little upturn erl faoe. MWhy, I've planted some feathers in my garden; and they'll grow into little chickens first, and then they'll grow into great big hen biddies, like IJrownie and Speckle, and . - 1 SB lay eggs just as our Liaaies ao. "l'n said bo." he said stoutlv as he saw an amused smile creepin g over his mamma's face. Come and see what a lot i ve planted." Mamma went; and there, sure enough, was Charlie's garden, thickly planted with feathers, the ends just showing above the ground. 'So they'll grow sooner," explained Charlie. Tapa planU little seeds, they grow to be great big pumpkins; and 10, if I plant leathers, they'll grow to be hens. Of course they will, mamma." Mamma could not bear to disturb his childuh hope, so she only kissed him, and told him that she would buy egg9 of him it he raised any hens, and then went into the house, while Charlie eagerly trotted over to "auntie's" to see if she wouldn't take some.' The Straight Fatn. "The Bible is so strict and old fashioned," said a young man to a grayhaired friend, who was advising him to study Clod a Word if he would learn how to live. ''There are plenty of books that are written nowadays that are moral enough in their teaching, and do not bind one down as the Bible does." The old merchant turned to his desk and took out two rulers, one of which was slightly bent. With each of ihc9 he ruled a line, and silently handed the ruled paper to his companion. Welt," said the lad, what do you mean?" One line is not straight and true, ia it? When you mark out your path in life, do not take a crooked ruler!' Strange Friends. Chamber's Journal tells of a lioness at the Dublin Zoological Gardens who was tormented by rats nibling her toes. So a little terrier was put into her cage. At first she growled; but, seeing that he at once killed a rat, she came to the conclusion that he was her friend. Coaxing him to her side, she folded her paw round him, and took him to her breast where he rested every night afterward, ready to pounce upon any rat that diiturbed her. At Kegent's Park Gardens, London, a dog has made friends with a tiger and his mate; and he will bite their tails or jump on their backs, and go to sleep whenever he pleases. i a a liKLIGIOL S NOTES AND INCIDENTS. The rulers of the Adventists in Michigan have forbidden life insurance. Says a religious exchange: "A little rain should not make an empty Church. It is an injury to the preacher and an insult to God." Whether geologists contradict Moses or not, Dr. Joseph Parker thinks an open question; but he is sure they contradict each other. On tho occasion of the adversaries of his creation and cor ronatk n the Pope expended lO.OOOf. in the purchase of beds for poor families in liome. Bishop Simpson is to preach a sermon before the Ecumenical Conference in Jxindon, on "Christian Union." This is the request of the Knglish Wesleyans. A Philadelphia clergymen assisted a woman to tie on her bonnet, and the verdict of the council which tried him for it was: "It was a brotherly act, but he'd better let 'em tie on their own bonnets after this." The number of persons in full communion in the United States of America in 1'iO, as reported to the General Assembly of that year, was 173,821; the same number reported in 1880 was 578,071. The increase is more than three-fold. A minister up in the oil regions who has been extensively advertising the Bernhardt says: "If. 'she would show fn.it" meetfor repentance l would be the first one to meet her with open arms." As Sara will not enter into the agreement, a Church scandal will be avoided. At a camp meeting lately a venerable sister began the hymn, "My soul, be on thy guard, ten thousand foes arise.'' She began too high. '-Ten thousand," sne again screeched, and stopped. "Better start her at five thousand, sister." quietly remarked an unconverted broker present. The first Christian Church ever built by Chinese far themselves and by themselves was in Honolulu in 1879, when f V00 were collected for the purpose. The chief subscriber, a Chinese merchant and rice-planter, who gave $-300, came to the Island twenty years before as a coolie in a slave ship. Henry Ward Beecher has annnounced from the Plymouth Church pulpit his belief that bintUm was a non-essential ordinance of the Church. It was pleasant enough and useful enough, but if a man died trusting in Christ it made no difference whether he had been sprinkled or immersed, or both or neither. Rev. Dr. Totter, of Grace Church, New York, lately remarked in a sermon about the Erik of New York from thieves and robrs, "that in principle there is but litle diu erence between many oi me transactions countenanced as 'business' and the operations of thieves.

COXCEEXIXG WOMEN. . There ts something of woman in every thing that pleases. Dupaty. Mary Clemmer, so long known as a Washington correspondent, nas abandoned

her letters and now devotes herself almost entirely to literature Gretry: Both men and women love girls better than boys; the man sees already the mistress in the girl, and the woman in the boy sees nothing but the lover of another woman. Alphonso Esquirol: Women are made more to be loved than to love, like the flowers, which know nothing of the perfume which they give to the senses ot others. Women are the true flowers of love. 31 iss Julia Bryant, daughter of the late William Cullen Bryant, has sold her quarter interest in the New York Evening Po6t to Mr. Parke Godwin, whose wife, another daughter of Mr. Bryant, already owns a similar share. Dr. Susan A. Edson, of No. 1,308 1 street, Washington, D. C, attended President Garfield's mother during her late illness, thus retaining the position of . professional confidence which she has occupied in his family for several years. Miss Edson has been practicing in Washing for the last fifteen years. The women of the Isle of Man occupy the 'proud position of being th first of their sex within her Majesty's dominions whose rights as Parliamentary electors have been recognized and legally secured.' An address to the fe.nale electors of the Isle of Man, signed by Miss Becker and Mrs. Scetcherd, has been issued. The Manx women are congratulated and advised to exercise their rights fully and to the best ot their judgment and ability. The victory which has been won in the Island is hailed as an earnest of tho coming recognition of the samprinciple in the next Beform bill for the United Kingdom. now Red-Haired Girls Should Dress. Now that red-headed girls are in style, we are receiving suggestions as to the way they should dress. A fashion writer says: "There are three types of auburn-haired women brown-eyed, blue-eyed, and gray-eved. Strange as you may think it, even the blueeyed rossas should never wear blue, for blue intensifies the color of the blue eyes. Hero is a fabric, for instance, on which are red, blue. and green spots, i fasten on it a piece of blue ribbon, and you instantly see that the blue spots become more conspicuous than either the red or green ones. Now, I put on a bit of green ribbon, and the green spots take your eye; now a red one, and the red spots stand" out. This gives a hint to blue, eyed girls who are not red-haired, and to girls with greenish gray eyes, with promi nent, transparent corneas, who can by wearing a blue dress, or blue ribbons, or turquoise jewelry, enhance the blue of their eyes. To return to the rossas, they can never wear pink, albeit there is a shade of pale, yel lowish pink that can be ventured upon provided you have an artistic eye for color to guide you in its selection and application They must confine themselves to white of a creamy hue, gendarme blue of a deep tone, invisible or a bottle-green, olive green, gray green (never bright green), stone gray, claret, maroon, plum, amethyst or brownish, purple, dark amber, reds with an amber tint, pale yellow and dark brown. Velvet is the fabric above all others which should be freely used in tfeaa toilet of the rossas. Pearls, amber, and gold ornaments are be coming to them. Diamonds are too flashy." .Educated Girls. Home Journal. 1 We are told that advanced mental culture unfits women for homo use. Half-cult ure may do so; but advanced mental culture will not. It would, no doubt, bo well to educate girls with a view to their becoming suitable companions for their husbands, supposing we could insure them all getting hUbLs&nds; but as there are more women than men in this part of the civilized world, and as therefore some of these women must necessarily remain unmarried, why educate them exclusively for duties they may never be called on to fulfill? It has been said that the parsing of a university examination is of no earthly use to women who marry. Is it then of no use that a woman who is married should be able in a great measure, to educate her own children; to give a right bias to their minds; to answer the innumerable "Why is this?" and "What makes so-and-so," of little people; to teach them to think accurately; to clear up school difficulties, etc., to cay nothing at all of the great rest and refreshment to her own mind to be able to enjoy books, papers, magazines, the fine arts, and to forget for a while, those minor household cares to which some would entirely confine her. It is of no earthly use that Bhe can strengthen . herself to fight against petty carking cares, by forgetting herself for a little time in that delightful abstract world of lancy and speculation which lies before us in books? Then let us take the case of a woman who does not marry. What is she to do? Girls can not know at fifteen, an age when the higher education usually begins, whether they, will marry or not. All can not, and those who do not, are often obliged to earn their own living. How can they do that? With a half-education they cannot become teachers. Little else is open to them save domestic service. Thus they become more dependent than ever on the idea of marriage, and the result of such a system of education (more purely domestic than anything else) would be a keener hunt than ever among women after the man who is to give them a home and a position. If indeed there is one thing which can prevent a single woman from becoming a melancholy ' old maid, it is genuine piety excepted a cultivated mind which enables her to take a larger view of life. By means of the culture begun at school through one or other of the different doors of knowledge opened to her then, she can throw herself into one particular pursuit, instead of brooding oyer her incomplete life. Any one looking around will see that dressing and flirting are the sole things for whicn a great many of the young girls of the present day live. Certainly yourg men are afraid to marry them, when these are their chief characteristics.' This is not the fault of over but rather under education. A girl who can take pleasure in reading the best authors, in designing graceful pictures from nature, in reading of the manners and customs of foreign people, in working out complicated problems in perspective or Euclid, in reading foreign authors in the original, has bo many more resources in herself that it becomes an impossibility tor her to spend her entire time altering her dresses and costumes, and going here and going there for the sole purpose of flirting, because she feels she has more solid enjoyment in intellectual pusuits pursuits vbich will remain a joy to her long after the age when flirting has become impossible ''and the zeet for it died out. It ia said girls should be educated to fit them for their station in life. This idea aims a blow at all rising in life and cuts at the root of all healthy ambition. Who can tell what station ia life they may be called on to fill? Nay, rather let all girls receive a broad, thorough education, that supposing they possess the canarity for great things and some women do possess it these may produce noble and great work. And the others, having leas capaoity. will jet find that a higher edacation does net

unfit them for common duties, but only renders them more helpful, more self-reliant, more Sympathie, more charitable,' more true women, in short, than if they confined themselves to the narrow circle of domestic duties, with the usual spice of household pride, scandal and gossip. "What Girl Graduates Can Do. Miss Jennie Collins said, last winter, something to the effect that she found the most helpless of all women, and those most in despair for something to do, were the graduates of Colleges and High Schools. The inference was that their education had not fitted them for practical life, and that they were even less able to take care of themselves, stand in their rank and do their part, than they would be if they had lees education in school and among books. It seemed worth while to make enquiry, as the facts ought to be the other way. One reply came as follows: As to what we shall do with our girls, is well answered in the case of my daughter. After getting through her school education at Vassar College, she said to me, ''Now, father, what am I going to do7" My reply was, Amuse yourself, read, write, ride and wait for something to turn up." She said, 'I can not do that. I wish to be independent and not be spending what I have not earned. If thou wilt let me go into the office and learn bookkeeping I will be con. tent, otherwise I am going to study medicine, for I will not lead an aimless life, but work out for myself a position." I knew she was too much like her lather to be turned aside when she had made up her mind to pursue the right. She went to the office, and in two months was master of the situation, although she had never known anything about it in her school life. One who learns by practice in an active business office is much more jfficient than one who has been drilled or dulled at school, and can learn in one quarter of the time. At the end of three mon&s the bookkeeper left, and she filled his place with complete success. In my absence her name was honor! on all checks and contracts as my own. One of the laget manufacturers in the country told me as he went into the office his agent, seeing no one but a lady said to him, ''Now, we shall have some fun." They went through the transaction trying at every point to puzzle her, but they closed the contract with as much ability and satisfaction as any they have ever made, and asked her where Mr. found so efficient a bookkeeper. She is now running a home which requires more ability, patieice and endurance if done as it ought to be, than any factory in the country. Her business experience en ables her to stand amongst men their acknowledged peer, and to train her three boys with a larger success. Another father reported that his daughter after graduating came into business with him just as his son would have done, and with the most satisfactory results. The disciplined mind and well trained faculties enabled her to command her resources. The fact of her relationship gave her an interest which no stranger could feel. Her father bad a sense of absolute safety in trusting his affairs with hor, due to the combined relation of affection and common interest. These instances illustrate. It has long been tho custom of business men to take their sons into business with them when they graduate. It will be found to be just as satisfactory to make similar arrangements for daughters. If they should afterward have families to bring up, a practical experience will enable them to discharge these higher and more important trusts and duties with eare and correctness. Many women, College graduates, are now independent, or earning independence, as physicians, lawyers, and ministers of the Gospel, others are Professors in Colleges or teachers with salaries that are never paid for inferior attainments. Still others are wise mothers and home-makers. But there is abundant room at the top of the ladder and in front. ''Covet earnestly the best gifts" is as good advice to-day as it ever was. Pleasantries Concerning; Women. Jake away women and what would follow? The men. A young man in pressing his own suit frequently wrinkles the girl's. Widows over fifty can not marry again in Portugal. In this "country widows never get over fifty. A young lady up in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, was stung on the lip by a bee the other day. That bee evidently knew

his business. A patent two-horse street-sweeper is not a pleasant thing to meet, but is not quite bo bad as to pass a hallway containing a deter mined woman and a broom. v The jewel of a servant girl is the one who hangs all her mistress' embroidered under wear on that portion of the line most con epicuous to the neighbor's eye. A girl composed of eight halves is a mathematical anomaly, a scientific monstros ity. And yet we heard one recently, withm an half hour, declare she was half dead with the heat, and half laughed herself to death at somebody's mishap or blunder, was half crazv to know something about something else, was half tickled to death at some funny remark of an ape or a beau, was half mad at an escort's presumption, and was half killed by a hair-pin scatching her neck, while all of hex two halves more was still alive, well and absurd. Girls, drop all these hyperbolical nonsensicalities that disfigure your daily walk and conversation, and be as sensible as you are pretty and lovable. Deadwood Pioneer. An old lady of his flock once called upon Dr. Gill with a grievance. The Doctor's nock-bands were too long for her ideas of ministerial humility, and after a long harangue on the sin of pride, she intimated that she had brought her scissors with her and would be pleased if her dear Pastor would allow her to clip them down to her notions of DroDntv. 1 he Doctor not only listned patiently to her lecture, but handed her over the offending white bands lor ner to operate upon. When she had cut them to her satisfaction and returned the bibs, it was the Doctor's turn. "Now," said he, "my good sister, you must do me a good turn also." "Yes. that I will, Doctor, what can it be?' '''Well, you have some thing about you which is a deal too long, and causes me no end of trouble, and I should like to Bee it shorter." "Indeed, dear sir, I will not hesitate; what is it? Here are the scissors, use them as you please." "Come, then." said tho sturdy divine. HJood sister, put out your tongue." Hints for Helpful Girls.

All sickness is violation of natural law; nine times out often the trouble begins with the stomach. Now plainly, one of our greatest wants, and one that money can not always supply, is a good cook. Not that our tables need be more daintily spreal, or in o..;- ...onnlner the imorovement be made, but they should be more wholesome. Ignorance In the selection and prep-

a ration oP food is doing, jn ore than any other fashionable folly toward populating our cemeteries, as well as enriching our doctors. . If these same doctors were teachers of simple health rules; if, instead of waiting till the sick room invites their presence, they would come into the kitchens, theit "ounce of prevention" might prove "better than a pound of cure." If it were as delightful to fast as it is to eat, we would never have new diseases and the old ones would "go glimmering." If you are sick, stop eating, and rest the abused stoma;h. Stop one meal, or two or three. If the demon has fastened upon you, starve him out. if it takes forty days; keep the skin clean, have plenty of pure air, and don't take medicind. Have patience with nature, faith in her simple laws, and you will conquer. Missing a meal at the right time saves many a life, and the lack sen Js many another to their long home. Eating too much is worse than working too much, and worse than drinking too much. Not content with full, hearty meals, you nibble a little pickle, cake, minco pie, candy or nuts, between times. You can eat anything; it never hurts you. Stop and think if this may not be the cause of bo much invalidism, that ruins so many fortunes, saddens homes and distills heartaches 1 Over working and eating are the "over acts" of our lives. Next to care in quantity and quality of food is exercise. No remedy known to human skill has such powerful and permanent influence in regaining and retaining health as cheerful exercise in the open air. The amount of exercise must be adapted to the strength. The rule imperative is, under all circumstances stop short of fatigue. Walking is the very best exercise, because action of the whole body. The ladies of England walk miles and miles a day. Look at their ruddy complexions, that tell of perfectly free action of the lungs. There is no languor, and as a rule, no chronic invalids. Oxygen is their tonic. This is the secret of their rich blood, and why at fifty they are admired for their matronly beauty. American women at fifty have sallow complexions, and wi inkles tired out, they say. or invalids, when it the laws of health had been learned in girlhood and practiced all their lives, this age should find them well, and good looking, better looking for the matured, rounded life, and the grand soul of womanhood looking out of their eyes. The Presidency. Who first gave America the idea of a President? Should such a question be asked, the reply would be, Benjamin Franklin. Twenty-five years before the Declaration of

Independence, Franklin was a member of the object f which was to consolidate the Col or ies under a President General. Britu-b interests were to be promoted, but the home government objected to giving 6uch power to their Colonies, and the scheme failed. Hence, when the revolution took place, a President" was a natural idea. At first he was merely President of Congress, but when the present Constitution was formed, ho was President and General. Franklin just lived long enough to behold the beginning of his schemo in George Washington, his dearest friend, who visited him in a dying bed when he passed through Philadelphia on his way to New York Citv. Franklin died soon afterward, but the news of the inauguration cheered his last hours. Washington was nfly-seven at the time of his inauguration John Adams, the next, was a native of Mas sachusetts and was sixty-two at the time of inauguration. Jenereon, who succeeded him, was a Virginian of fifty-eight, and was sixty-six when he retired from the Presi dential chair. Madison, likewise a Yirgir ian. was fifty-seven when elected, and retirod arter eight years' service, ranging from 1809 to 1817. Monroe, also a Virginian, was inaugurated at the age of fitly -nine, and was sixty-seven when he retired from oflice, a period extending from 1817 to 1825 John tuincy Adams, a Massachusetts man, was elected at the age of fifty-seven, and re tired at sixty-one, having served but one term, which closed March 4, 1829. Jack son, a native of North Carolina, was sixty-, two when elected, anJ retired at seventy having served eight years from 1829 to 1 r T .1 n . t loot, an uuren was me nrsi native oi New York State to enter the Presidential office; he was fifty-four when elected, and served but one term, which lasted from 18.7 to 1841. Harrison was a native of Virginia, and was sixtv-seven when elected He died after a month's service, and Tyler, also a Virginian, was raised from the Vice Presidency to take the office thus vacated This was the first instance of such an exi gency, and therefore was an important ex periment. She !oea Oer Own Werk. Does her own work? Does she? What of it? Ia it any digrace? Is she any less a true woman, less worthy of respect than she who sits in silks and satins and is vain of fingers that never labor Y e listened to a person the other day who, speaking of a newly wedded wife, said sneerinelv. ''Oh! she does her own work." The words, and the tone of contempt in which thev were uttered.be tokened a narrow, ignoble mind, better fitted for any pace than a country whose institu tionsreston honorable labor as one of the chief corner-stones. They evinced a false idea of the true basis of society, of the true womanhood, of genuine nobility. They showed the detestable spirit of caste, or rank, which a certain class are try ing to establish a caste whose sole foundation is money, which is the weakest kind of rank known to civilization. Mind, manners, morals, all that enters in a good character, are of no ac count with these social snobs.
