The Place of Women.
One of the principal features of the
Middle Ages is the recognition of the fact
that Christianity assigned to woman anew
place iu the social order of the world very
different from what it had been before.
The deep respect accorded by that epoch
to women could not but exercise a most
powerful and beneficial influence of hu
manity; for when man, confident in his
physical force, resigns alone, we can never
expoet to see real human culture develop
itself.
There now arose anew kind of worship
of the beautiful, and female beauty in par
ticular, and that in a higher arid more re
fined sense than had been in the non-
Ghristian world. The Greeks, the Romans
and the Arabians bad bestowed praise
upon women, as necessary to their happi
ness, but they treated her only as an in
ferior, and even as a slave. The Christian
world sot before itself a now ideal. What
man now strives for is that the lady whose
affections lie endeavors to win should
recognize his personal worth; that, she
should prefer him to other suitors; that
see should love him because she honors
and esteem hint.
Such a demand is based upon the sup
position that man considers woman his
equal; nay that he looks up to her as a su
perior being; tlio endeavor he makes to
deserve the favor of her he loves, and to
become worthy of her, reacts on his own
conduct. Love raises him above all that
is common and vulgar; it becomes with
him the mainspring of every noble action;
lie can henceforth neither say nor do any
thing of which he would be ashamed be
fore her.
Cultivation.
Having made the growing of sweet po
tatoes and plants a speciality for several
years, also the housing and keeping of
them over winter, perhaps a few hints on
their culture, etc., will be of interest to
your many readers.
I always plant my potatoes in ridges,
first plowing my ground about four inches
deep. (I used to plow very deep/ for
them, but have come to the conclusion
that shallow plowing is best for sweet
potatoes.) I then use the harrow aud
roller until the soil is thoroughly pulver
ized; then throw two furrows to tether
with a iwo horse plow, and smooth or
level the tops of the ridges with the hoe.
The ground is then ready for setting the
plants. Wo are generally set out plants
iu the evening, say three o’clock until
night. We make our ridges about three
and a half feet apart, and set the plants
about 18 to 20 inches apart in tho ridge.
In dry, hot weather, set the plant deep
and pour on each plant about a half pint
of water; then draw around it dirt enough
to keep the wet soil from baking and get
ting hard around the plant; never water
but the one time, and never wait for rain.
If these directions are followed, and your
plants have been grown as they should
be, you will lose but very lew plants from
trans-planting. Cincinnati Times
That every day lias its pains and sor
rows is universally experienced, and almost
universally eonfoseed; but let us not at
tend only to mournful truths; if we look
impartially about us, we shall find that
every day has likewise its pleasures and
its joys.

High colors—Tho>e in the rainbow.
The Savannah News says: Hon. Ben
H- Hill, in an interview in the Baltimore
Gazette, did not express a preference for
any Presidential candidate because of
“the sensitiveness of the public mind of
the North in regard to the South in
politiss.” The South prefered that the
North should select the candidate, and
only asked that it should bo the strongest
man. Ho continued: “The currency
question I look upon aN a subordinate one.
Restore honest government, the currency
will adjust itself and soon be all right. It
is to be hoped that the matter will be
sdtiled at St. Louis witiiout division and
without the interposition of the South.
If so tho entire Southern vote will be cast
for the nominee.
One of the crying evils of those times
is tho tendency and disposition of girls to
get through girlhood hurriedly and get
into womanhood, or rather into young
lady-hood, without waiting to enjoy the
beautiful season of girlhood. Speaking
on this point Bishop Morris says: “Wait
patiently, my children, through tho whole
limit of your girlhood. Go not after wo
manhood; let it come to you. Keep out
of public view. Cultivate retirement and
modesty. The cares and responsibilities
of life will come soon enough. When
they couie, you will meet them, I trust,
as true women should. But oh! be not
so nowise as to throwaway your girlhood.
Rob not yourselves of this beautiful sea
son, which, wisely spent, will brighten all
your future life. ”
The mule has cut a figure in the cam
paign already, and now tho cow makes
her picturesque and gothic entrance. The
Indianapolis Sentinel make a successful
draft on tho barn-yard for a good
sized Morton scandal. It finds a bill for
SIBO.IO paid out of tiie general fund
while Mr. Morton was governor, which it
says was for his cow feed, or rather feed
for his cows. There are other bills,
amounting to about $ 1000 for wood, coal,
gas, etc., which are said to have been for
Mr. Morton’s private expenses. This
the Sentinel fiendishly culls a part of Mr.
Morton's “war record,” and evidently
would like to cry: “Bristow had his
mules, Morton his cows, and—other can
didates may profit by their example!”—

Not Any for Him.
This is the season when advertisements
of refrigerators and ice-chests spread out
in a newspaper like a mortgage on a small
corner lot. It was advertising iu the Free
Press that attracted a Nankin farmer into
Detroit and into a Woodward avenue
hardware store yesterday. When lie
mentioned tho fact that he would like a
refrigerator, the proprietor welcomed him
witli a sunny smile, and the clerks cheer
fully harked their shins against the stoves
us they flew around.
“Will you look at these ice chests?”
asked the proprietor as they came to a
long row.
“What do I want to keep ice in a chest
for?" growled tne farmer. "What I
want is something to keep provisions cool
and nicy in hot weather.”
“Well, here you have it. Here is the
best refrigerator made.”
The farmer opened the doors, looked
the box over and around, and seemed
much pleased with it. Presently he in
quired:
" IVhat's the principle of tho thing—
how does she cool off the provisions?"
“You put your ice right in hero, shut
the box and away she goes,” was the ■
reply.
“Ice!” gasped the farmer.
“Why, of course. You can’t run a re
frigerator without ice, can you?’'
The farmer turned without a word,
walked down stairs and out to his wagon,
and was getting in when the hardware
man hurried up and asked :
“What’s the matter?”
“Do you think I’m a four-cornered
fool?” howled the agriculturalist. “Do
you think I'm going to buy that high
priced provision asylum and then keep
ice, too?’’— iktroit Free Cress.
Mary K. Dallas writes: “The moment
a girl has a secret from her mother, or
has received a letter she dare not. let her
mother read, or has a friend of whom her
mother does not know, she is in danger.
Tho fewer secrets that lie in the hearts of
women at any age the better. It is almost
a test of purity. In girlhood do nothing
that, if discovered by your father, would
make you blush.”
An eastern paper having had consider
able to say about “raising chickens by
hand," tho Galveston News responds:—
“Such information is not needed at the
South. The whole colored population
know how to do it, and an enterprising
freedman can raise more pullets in a
single night, on his way home from
prayer meeting, than that Eastern editor
could raise in & year with all his science.” j
Though years bring with them wisdom,
yet there is one lesson the aged seldom
learn, namely, the management of youth
ful feelings. Age is all head, youth all
heart; age reasons, youth feels; age acts
uuder the influence of disappointment,
youth uuder the dotniuiou of hope.
