aid put yotWnrin in geutlene*s around,
draw to your heart, pre« a khan'to her
forehead, and one on her Bps, and as her
bead lialf rested on your shoulder, look
deep into ber eyes and whisper, Barling !
She should be a woman in whom we bad
all the confidence iu the woi IJ, one a man
would be proud to itinke happy, and
w hose pride would be in her husband's
success, happiness, reputation, her own
good name, her person, her friendship,
her house, and the purity of her heart.-;.
‘Barling 1 means everything, words un
spoken, caiewes ripening for love to feed
on, volumes unwritten; kind action waiting
opportunity; hopes unexpressed; faith un
told for want of suitable words. It is the
flower which beautifies tba tree that l iars
the most delicious fruit in seasons. The
word is a volume. It means more than
one can express; tlio clasping of tho spirit
bands of love in heart-worship of the due
nnd good; the word rainbow which .spans
•the sky of hope and life; tho bursting of the
bud of the most beautiful flower which
sheds a perfume over the hearts of those
twho love.
We have answered our correspondent
hastily, not fully, for the word is a text
for an endless camion, and should only ap
ply to a sweetheart, wife, the little darlings
which are dear to you because children of
the first darling. It is a differeut word, a
longer word, a more meaning wor (Pth an
Vet, though often tned in its place.
Is Religion Beautiful?—Always!
In the child, the maiden, the wife, the
mother, religion shines with a holy benig
nant beauty of its own, which nothing on
earth cau mar. Never yet was tbe female
character perfect without the steady faith,
piety. Beauty, intellect, wealth ! they are
like pitfalls, dark on the brightest day, un
less religion throws her soft beam3 arouud
them to purify and exalt, making twice
glorious that which seemed all loneliness
before.
Religion is very beautiful, in health or
sickness, in wealth or poverty. We can
never enter the sick chamber of the good,
but soft music seems to float on tbe air,
nnd the burden of their song is, ‘Lo ! peace
inhere 1
Could we look into thousands of fami
lies to day, when discontent fights sullen
ly with life, we should find the chief cause
of unhappiness, want of religion in woman.
O, religion ! benignant majesty, high on
tfay throne thou siuest, glorious and exal
ted. Not above tbe clouds, for earth clouds
come never between thee and the truly pi
ous souls; not beneath the clouds for
above these is heaven, opening through a
broad vista of exceeding beauty.
Is religion beautiful? We answer all is
desolation and deformity where religion is
nob
Right Pbikcifub is Diums. *->■ Tbe
true and light principle In dress ia the
same for a wotting woman as for a duch
ess. To wear such clothes as we can pur
sue our accustomed occupation in, without
spoiling them; to look like what we are
and not like what we are not; to be com
fortable in and out of doors; and to have
a pleasant, and, if possible, a pretty ap
pearance.

How TO "’Determine "Where Water
Ts.—At n recent meeting of the American
Institute Farmers' Club, a member related
his experience in this matter as foliow*,;
•‘An Irishman in his employment, in order
to ascertain Where he ought to dig to ' ob
tain water soonest, got a stone and bu.ied
it over night in thoground, next to the
hardpan. In the morniugbe fouud it quite
tooist, but not suffioiantly so to suit his
fancy. Next rdgftt heAried ft In another
spot, und it was found very wet on the fol
lowing. ‘There,’ suid Patrick, ‘you will
find water not many feet deep, and plenty
of it, I —-Sure enough, in a fatv days’ dig*
ging, Patrick confirmed his prediction, not
withstanding the jeers of tbu workmen—
finding a vein which filled the well to over
flowing, and rendering it exceedingly dif
ficult to bail out the water so as -to stoDe
it, Tbe philosophy of tbe operation seems
to be that as great evaporation takes place
from tho surface of tho earth during the
night, tiro water rises up from the depths
below to supply the loss, and accumulates
in the vicinity of the stone, often making
quite a puddle.''
oue has said that a
young mother is the most beautiful thing
in nature. Why qualify it? Why young!
Are not all mothers beautiful ? The senti
mental outside beholder may prefer youth
in the pretty picture ; but I am inclined to
think that sons and daughters, who are the
most intimately concerned in tho matter,
love and admire their mother* most when
they are old. How suggestive of some
thing holy and venerable it is when a per
son talks of bis “dear old mother 1”
Away with your mincing ‘matn-mae,’ and
‘mam mas,’ sugg, stive only of a fine lady,
who deputes bet duties to a nurse, a draw
ing room maternal parent, who, is afraid to
handle her offspring for fear of spoiling
her fine new gown. .Give nte the homely
mother, the arms of whoso love are all em
bracing, who is beautiful always, whether
old or young, whether arrayed iu satin, or
modestly habited in bombazine.
The NEWSfArEn.—An old gentleman
remarked to us some years ago : “My
son you are about to beebme, I learn, the
editor of a newspaper. Permit an old
mao to give you this piece of advice—
if you desire success in that capacity, you
should in each paper publish one column
for a sensible man and two for a fool.’
We give his opinion without comment.
