Tlie Way me Wuiiicn Flatter
Men.
“There is one kind of flattery which is
common to both men and women, and
• hat is the expressed preference of sex
Thus, when wen want to flatter women,
they say how infinitely they prefer their
society to that of their own s- x, and wo
ui-li wi*l s;iy the same to men. Ur if they
do not say it, they will act it. See a set
of women Congregated together without the
light of a manly countenance am ng them
They may ta k to each other, certainly,
and one or two will *i: away together, and
discuss their private affairs with anima¬
tion ; hut thc great mass o; them are only
h&li vitalized while waiting the advent of
the men to ruuse them into life and the
desire to please. No man who goes up
first, a-d earlier than he was expec f ed,
from the dinner table, con fail to see the
change which comes over those wearried,
l.tub. indige-en -looking lace- and figures
asso**n us he enters the room. He is like
the prim e wbo-e kis< wokp up the sleep¬
ing peauty and al! her court, und can any
one -u> that this is not flattery ot the most
deligh ful kin-i ? To be the Pygmalion
even h r a moment, and tor.the weakest
oiuri ot ioulgiviuu, is about the greatest
pleas me that a man can know, *f he is
susceptible to the finer kinds of flattery.
Some women, indeed, not ot.ly *how their
jrmerence for nicu, but openly confe*- it,
and confess at the same litun to a lofu
couicmpt or abhorrence for the society of
i i hese generally who

EngltMli Women at Home.
A writer in the last number ofllarper’s
Monthly gives a picture of homo lite
among the English working people:
The inferiority of English women is first
apparent to a foreigner in a. variety of little
details. Returning from uti early morn*
ing ride, he notices the cottages of the
working people by the roadside. Tho
women are up and about, ri uking the fires,
earning the coals, opening the houso, 1
while the men are still snoring soundly. 1
should like to see an American husband
wait for his wife, or an America,, son for
bis mother to perform these matutinal
functions. If he were not speedily be
wigged by his uwu better half, a more no
rious punishment would be adjudged him
by a vigilance committee of neighboring
housewives. Or if breakfast is being pre
pared, you notice the women buttering the
bread, so as to save their .ordg and masters j
the slight unnecessary exertion. An
American husband mi ht eat dry bread
forever, if he were unwilling to butter it,
himst-lf. Then you catch sight of a wo*
man on her knees lacing u man’s boots. !
So menial a set vice would scandalize the
best American wives. If an Englishman
wants a pipe, it is the woman who fills it
and hands him a light; if his pot
replenishing, it is the woman who pro*
cures and pours out the ale; if there is an
cnand to be done, it is the woman who
truts off, while the mau loafs or rests at
home. In short, English women belong
ing to the lower classes are evidently the ■
servants of the men, whim in America the 1
men arc as evidently the servants of
women, only that of the stronger to the,
weaker, never seems like^scrvitude, even
in the humblest families, but takes the .
nobler form of politeness, solicitude, nud
duty.
FI rut Love.
It is one of the oldest points of differ- j
ence between man and woman that #ounan j
has no First Love. The long alphabet of;
her affections is without any dintinct end
or beginning; she mounts by insensible
gradutious from dolls aud kittens and pet
brothers to the zenith of’passion through
pet brothers to tabby cats. There is no
sucji events as a first kiss forms in a boy’s
life to mark for woman the transition from
girlhood to the sudden maturity of passion;
she lias been kissing and purring and
fondling and petting from her cradle, and
she will pet aud foud-c aud purr and kiss
to her grave. Love, in the
sense of the word; is with her little more
than ati intensifying of her ordinary life.
There is no new pietute, but 'hecolors are
for the while a little heightened and the
tone raised. Presently the vividness of
color , will fade . and the cool ,
again, grays
tower the tone, and the passion of life will
have died away. But there will he no
definite moment at which one could fairly
say that , , love came or went. A , girl . , who ,
is not whispering iu a lover’s e«ar will al
ways say frankly enough that she never
knew what it was not to be in love. There
is one obvious deduction which she forgets
to draw, ... that there never can . be a tune
when she can know what it is to be in
love. Here and there of course, a woman
may be coldt-r, or later development, or
self-conscious, .. . and . divide ., . by
more may
more rigidly marked linos the phases of
her life But even then, if she be a wo -
mau at all, she can have n fiist love—
Feeling, with woman, has no past, as it
lias no future. Every pha*e of her life
begins With an act of oblivion. Every
love is a first love. “I never loved any
one before.” is said, and said truly, to a
d-.zen loving ears in succession “The
first thing I should ltke to meet with in
Par disc,” said Lady Wortley .* ontaguc,
“would be the river Lethe, the stream of
Forgetfulness.” But woman finds a little
rivulet ol Lethe at every stage ol her
heart's career. If she remembers the past
at all, it is to offer it up as a burnt sac
rifice to the deity of the present. When
Cleopatra talked about Caesar to Mark
Antony, she passed, no doubt, her fingers
through.-her lover’s hair and wonder
ed haw she coul 1 ever have doted on such
a bald pared fetlow as the Dictator, llad
she . ded | j * char . . Octavius, t \ l m she v.
succee in .rug
wou ! d have wondered qually at her infat
uation for such a ne’tr do well as Antony,
And so it is no wonder that a woman's
first love, even if she realizes it at all, goes
down in this gene-al wreck of thc past.

In laying a garden for fruits aud vege*
tables, place everything in drills or rows,
so that they may be cultivated by a horse,
and thus save the expense of hard labor,
Wiieu board fences become old, and
the boards begin to come off, nail upright
facing strips upon them against each post,
and the boards will beheld to their places,
and the fence last several years longer.

To haul forty bu-hels of corn filty miles
on a wagon, would eo*t at least £12 for
team, driver and expenses. A railroad

relative advuntiigo is about the same for
other crops, it is clear that a railroad J pass

aero to the value of thc farms. A
town ten miles square contains 04,000
acres. An increase of $100 per aero is
equal to S,4 :0,000, or enough to build 200
wiles of railroad even at a cost ol $32,000
per mile. But 20U miles of road would
