Don’ts for Old Maids.
Don’t get sou rod with the whole world
because m me of the 1 rot hors dido t take
you in out of the cold; maybe it was your
fault.
Don’t think, when you look back
through the vista of years and see your
self, ip imagination, leaning over the
garden gate with that fellow on the other
side, that y< u made a narrow escape, lie
might have only been fooling with you.
Don’t think if yon had it all to do over
againyou would dodiffcrcu ly and hotter.
The probabilities arc you would he about
as much of a goose as vou were then.
Don’t try to make the whole w rid be
lieve that you are in downright earnest
and wouldn’t marry the best man on top
of the giound if you oould, for you know
you would.
Don’t say that all women are simple
tons who marry, for that is not compli
mentary to your in dher.
Don’t tfiutik goodness when you sec ha f
a dozen urchins making it lively for your
neighboring sisteis that they ain’t yours.
Y'ou don't know how much fun it is to be
wallopping them with a siipper rr dosing
them with paregoric.
Don't swear oil from human society and
take all your stock in poodles or pet eats.
They are just us moan us men when you
refuse their caprices.
Don’t think the world don't put u
proper estimate upon your value. It
does. Mothers are constantly pointing to
you as examples for their frisky daughters.
Don’t think you ought to smile the less
because you haven’t any one in particular
to smile for. Smile for spite, if for noth
ing else, just to make men sorry that they
left such a hunch of animated sunshine
go uncaptured.
Don't think you ought to be staid an 1
sombre. 1 hat s a mi-lake. fou have
so fw of the responsibilities of life that
you ought to be as merry as a bird all the
time.
Don’t think Eve made a mistake when
she concluded not to live an old maid, for
neighbor a were so far apart then that she
would have been very lonely.
Don't while away the dull hours by
becoming a gossip monger. If you want
an occupation start a base ball club.
Don’t wear a long face and look as if
you dieted yourself on crab apples. It
is just as easy to look bright, sweet and
pleasant. One of the brightest mortals
in our acquaintance never acknowledged
allegiance to any of the lords of creation,
looks as merry as a June morning, and
everybody likes her.
Don't retire like a recluse and grope
through life in solitude. The one who i>
confined to his or her ov n society alone
has generally very uninteresting company.
Don’t think there is something radically
defective about the world because it don’t
run exactly according to your notion.
There are thousands of people who do
think so and yet they fail to u ake it any
hotter.
Don’t pet worried with the little fellows
because they romp, and yell and raise the
mischief generally. That’s a way they
have of letting folks know they are about.
Don’t complain at the world you live
in, but make the best of it while you are
• here, trip through it lightly, merrily as
you can, and at the end you will find that
while you have had some of its trials you
have also escaped many, arid enjoyed an
average share of blessings.
Be an Editor.
A young man writes fVom one of the
rural villages of Tennessee: “I have been
teaching school ever since 1. quit school j
about 3 year a to, but Tdo not like it. It !
is time I had chosen a profession, and 1
think 1 would rather be an editor than
anything else, for I like ease and comfort
and plenty of money, and do not like to
work. To he an editor, to sit in an
elegant sanctum, with nothing to do but
write when 1 felt like it. to have plenty
of money and go where and when 1 please,
free of cost, and lead the editor's quiet
lifeofease, without care or trouble of any
sort, is the height of my ambition. My
friends think I ought to study law or
medicine, or keep on teaching, but to be
a lawyer or doctor requires too much
study, and too much brains to start with,
and teaching is too hard work. Under
these circumstances, would you not advise
me to become an editor?”
We certainly would; your ideas of tho
life of an editor, and of his surroundings
and freedom from care and toil, are
singularly accurate. An editor is the
happiest being on earth. He lias little
or nothing to do, and his pay is all that
heart coual wish. His sanctum, with its
Persian rugs and Turkey carpets, its
costly rosewood furniture, its magnificent
mirrors, i<s beautiful pictures, its coiu
p’ete library of splendidly bound hooks,
its bullet stoeke I with the finest, of wines,
liquors, and cigars, which cost him hut a
puff or two, its silver bell to summon an
attendant whenever a julep or cooktnil is
wanted, and, in short, with its e- rrything
human ingenuity can de.ise lor his eo>n
fort and pleasure, is a perfect little para
disc, where lie sits or lounges oi l reigns
a young lord, with the world of i’adiion
and pleasure at his fee l . An !th i ik
body can he an edi —no snide, no
preparation, no brains, nothing hut a
little money (o start with, a ad once started
the money pours in a steady .stream, and
the chief labor of your life is to spud it.
As for the labor of editing a newspaper,
that is cere moonshine. A more glance
at the columns of a newspaper is enough
to <i mvineo you that it requires no labor
to edit it and less brains, (i is certainly
a glorious life, that of an editor, a life of
luxurious ease and of elegant leisure—a
life for the gods, filled, like that of tho
young lover in his sweet dream of requited
love, with flutes and rose leaves and
moonbeams,
While not a wave of trouble rolls
Across bis peaceful breast;
and that all men are not. editors is one of
the strangest things beneath the stars.
II o Money in It.
The above is what some say of fanning.
Well that depends upon who the farmer
is, or rather how he manages and runs
his farm. Now, if a man buys a farm
and pays for it money which ho li is bor
rowed, lives in the city or town and pay
an agent to run the farm, it certainly will
not pay.
Huy a small farm with your own money.
Go livo on it and conduct it with judg
ment and economy. Whatever you raise,
grow, or make, f-e sure that it isyoui own,
and nut to bo divided out to pay for fer
tilizers, corn, flour, bacon, or lor what you
can make or raise at home. Think o!
your business. Keep your le.iccs in
repair. Give your stock enough to eat
at and take euro of theta. Sue that every
thing about ycur farm is in good repair.
Make manure in ycur lot and shelter in
Rood your stock in comfortable stalls and
let them be well littered. Personally
supervise all that goes on. See that your
tools are in order, and in their places,
lie systematic in your work. Look after
every industry around you—the orchard,
garden, poultry yard. Look after each
and every one in its season. In connec
tion with all this, use your best judgment
about your crops, and our word for it you
will have but little to buy beyond dry
goods, sugar and coffee, and the result
will be to convince you that, there is money
in farming.
Save the Old Paper.
Never throw away old paper. If y m
have no wish to sell it, use il in t lie house.
Some housekeepers prefer it to cloth for
clean ng many articl sof furniture. For
instance, a volume written by a holy who
nridi and herself on her experience and tact,
says: “After a stove lias been blackened,
it can be kept looking well for along time
by rubbing it with paper every morning.
Rubbing with pi per is a much nicer way
of keeping the outsi le of a tea kettle,
coffee pot, and tea pot bright and clean
than the old way of washing them in suds.
Rubbing with paper is also the best way
of polishing knives, tinware, and spoons;
they shine like now silver. For polishing
mirrors, windows, lamp chimneys, etc.,
paper is better than dry cloth. Preserves
and pickles keep much better if brown
paper, instead of cloth, is t'ed over the
jar. Cmned fruit is not so apt to mould
if a piece of writing paper, cut to fit tho
can, is laid directly on the fruit. Paper
is much better to put under a carpet than
straw. It is warmer, thinner, and makes
less noise when one walks over it.”
Georgia is undoubtedly the best repre
sented state (in the person of John 11.
Gordon) of'any State in the Union. It
has been said that since tho genera! has
been senator, the arduous duty of repre
senting two States, Georgia and South
Carolina; has devolved upon him Be
that as it may, ho has ably rupre.-euted
the State that east her honors upon him.
Such men as Gordo., are needed in toe
nation's capitol, and 'tis a pity there are
not more of them. Brave, patriotic: arid
who, he knows his duty and dares ro do
it. The State legislature that is to elect
his successor can do no handsomer thing
than to let him succeed himself. No
fears are entertained that ho will meet
with much opposition, at the same time
in our humble opinion he should have
none, —Cedar town Exjirixn, (dem )

What a blessing to a household is a
merry, cheerful woman —one whose spirits
are not affected by wet days, or little dis
appointments, or whose milk of human
kindness does not sour in the sunshine of
prosperity. Su h a woman in the darkest
hours brightens the house like a little
piece of sunshiny wea'her. The mag
netism * fher smiles aid electricaljliright*
ness of her 1 v ks and movements infect
every mo. The children go to school
with a sensu of something great to bo
achieved; her husband goes into the
world in a conqueror s spirit. No matter
how people annoy and worry him all day,
far oil her presence shines, and ho
whispers to himself, “At home I shall
find re: t.” So day by day she literally
renews his trength and energy and if you

A r oan Covington (Ky.) grocer was
n'ccly sold at Christmas. He purchased
from a dollar store a table castor, which
he marked with u tag inscribed “$14,”
and gave it to a Methodist preacher,
whose church hi- family attended. The
reverend gentleman next day brought the
castor hack to the groeeryunn, and said
to him: “I am too poor in this world’s
goods to afford to display so valuable a
castor on my table, and if you have no
objection 1 would like to return it, and
take sl4 worth of groceries for my family
in its stead.” flic merchant could do
nothing but acquiesce.
A gentleman once asked a deaf and

line and dre w a zigrug or crooked lino be
