IUKRY CORNWALL. Wo are born; we laugh; wo weep; Wo love; we droop; we diel Ah, whercforo do wo laugh or weep Why do we live nr die! Who knows that secret deep? Alas, not II Why doth the violet spring Unseen by humau eye? Why do the radiant seasons bring Sweet thoughts that quickly fly; Why do our fond In arts cling To things that die? We toil through pain and wrong; We light and tly; We love; we lose; and then, cro long, Stone dead wo lie. 0 Life I is all thy song "Enduro and die?" Tho Wheel-Horse. There is a wheel-horse in every family; some one who takes tho load on all occasions. It may be the elder daughter, possibly the father, but generally it is the mother. Extra company, or sickness, give her a heavy in crease of tho burden she is always carrying. Even Summer vacations bring less rest and recreation to her than to others of the family. The city house must bo put in order to leave; the clothing of herself and the children which a country sojourn demands seems never to be finished; and the excursions and picnics which 1 delight the heart of the young people are not wholly a delight of the "provider." I once heard a husband say: "My wife takes lier sewing machine into the country, and has a I good time doing up the Fall sewing." Atthe time I did not fully appreciate tho enormity of the thing; but it has rankled in my memo ry, and appears to me now an outrage. How vould it bo for the merchant to take his books the country with him, to go over his ac counts ior a nine amuse..ut Suppose the minister writes up a few extra sermons, aim a teacher carries a Hebrew grammar and per fects himself in a new language, ready for opening school in the Fall? Women's work is never done. Sho would never have it done. Ministering to father and mother, cherishing her husband, nourish ing and training her children no true woman wants to see her work done. But because' it is never done she needs resting times. Every night the heavy trnck is turned up, the wheel-horse is put into the stable, and labor and care are dismissed till to-morrow. The thills of the household van cannot be turned up at night, and tired house-mother cannot go into a quiet stall for repose. She goes to sleep to-night feeling the pressure of to-morrow. Sho must have had "an eye" over all until every ono is in bed, and must keep an eye ready to open at any moment to answer the need of the children, and open both eyes bright and early to see the ma chinery w ell started for the new day. There is never any timo that seems conve nient for the mother of little children to leave home even for a day; but with a little kindly help from her husband, and a little resolution to herself, she may go, and be so much the better for it that the benefit will oveiflow from her into the whole household. She will bring homo some new idea, and will work with tho enthusiasm that comes from a iresh start. One word for the older sister who makes the salad for lunch and the dessert for dinner, who takes the position of the wheel-horse quite cheerfully while her young sisters make them selves beautiful entertaining, and, ono after another find "one true heart" apiece to love them, and leave the maiden to grow into an old maid. However willing her sacrifice, it is one and no thine but the devoted love and gratitude of the households whose fires she has helped to kindle, will reward her for what sho has given. Chrutian Union. BtroBX-Hinded Womin Anions the Esquimaux. A young w oman, Dr. Dall tells us, really quite fine looking, and of remarkably good physique and mental capacity, was observed to hold herself aloof from the young men of the tribe in an unusual manner. Inquiry, first of others, afterward of herself brought out the following reasons for her eccentricity. Id effect she said she was as strong as any of the joung men; not one of them bad ever been able to conquer her in wrestling or other ath letic exercises, though it bad more than once been tried, sometimes with surprise and odds against her. She could shoot and hunt deer as well as any of them, and make and set snares and nets. She bad her own gun, bought from the proceeds cf her trapping. She despised marriage, and did not desire to do the work of a wife; but preferred the work which custom among the Esquimanx allotted to the men. In short, sho was a "woman's rights" fejiale of the most advanced type. When Winter came, having nude a convert of a smaller and less athletic damsel, the two set to work with walrus-tusk picks and dug tho cxcivation in which they erected their own house, which was of the usual type of Esqui maux houses walled and roofed with drift wood covered with turf. It was, however, as an additional defense against unwished-for prowling males, divided into two rooms, with a very small and narrow door between them, next which lay somo handy billets of wood, to crack the sconce of a possible intruder. Here our two amazons lived, traded and carried on their affairs in defiance of communal bonds and public sentiment. The latter seemed to bo composed half of disapprobation, and half of envious admiration; while all the young fellows of the village busied themselves in con cocting against the enterprising pair. These wero too fully on tho alert to be surprised, and all efforts against their peace were fruitless. When the deer-hunting season came the two set off to the mountains; and no sooner had they departed than disappointed lovers and "outraged public sentiment" exemplified in a mob reduced their Winter quarters to a shape less ruin. So far as Call's information cues. the following year the ladies returned to tho ordinary ways ot tne worm, una gavo up 1110 uuemiil contest against a tyrauical public opinion. Chamler't Joitftial. Cold Feet. Very many persons do not properly care for their feet. They use cotton stockings and thin shoes in Winter; sometimes they sit, per haps for hours, with their feet damp and wet. It is not infrequent for females to go about their household work half a day at a time with fee, inadequately protected, while tho cold currents of air cause a temperature forty deurees less near the floor than overhead. Some people become so habituated to cold feet as not to "feel" the chill the long con tinued cold having contracted the blood ves sels and destroyed the proper sensibility ol the nerves. Not a few persons go to bed in .1 cold room with the feet still cold to have them yet further chilled by a cold bed. Now, tho feet sustain a close nervous rela tion to the rest of the body. Henco it is that the physician applies heat to the feet to re lieve a congested brain. Tho feet of one whose legs are paralyzed will kick when tickled, though the person is not conscious of tho tickling, nor, except by sight, even of tho kicking. This indicates, too, one of the rea-, sons why a rusty nail in the foot causes that fearful disease, locujaw. Good health cannot be enjoyed unless tho blood cir:ulates warn) and strong through tho extremities. Mothers should sec to it that their children's feet are well clad; and should, from time to timo during the day, removo their shoes to make sure that they aro warm. They should further train them to right ideas and habits in this respect. With all persons the rule in Winter should be woolen stockings and thick soled shoes, and rubbers in wet weather. Kxti a soles, whether of cork, felt or even thick paste-board, may be used to great advantage. Slippers or shoes that can Lo easily removed should bo worn about the house. If the feet are permanently cold from the shrinkage of the blood vessels, this will tend to enlarge them acaiu. In Mich "' i""U Wooakml every nichtior n. timo in quite warm water. I oulh'n Cam- panion. Praise Your Wife. Praise your wife, man, for pity's sake praise your wife when sho deserved it. It won't in jure her any, though it may frighten her some from its strangeness. If you wish to make and keep her happy, give her a loving word occasionally. If sho takes paiii3 to make you something pretty, don't take it with only: "Yes, it is very pretty. Won't you hand me my paper?" It will cost you only a moment's timo to kiss her and tell her she is the best wifo in town. You will find it to bo a paying invest mentone which will yield a largo return in increased care and willing labor for your com fort. Loving praise will lighten labor won derfully, and it should be freely bestowed. A case in point: I called on a friend ono day and found her up to her eyes in work. "Oh, dear," she said, "this is ono of my days; everything goes Arong, and I haven't a thing done!" "Let me help you," I said. "No, no," sho replied, gently pushing me into the sitting room, "I'm going to leave everything and rest awhile; but I must just wipe up this slop first," pointing to an ugly spot which disfigured the pretty oil cloth. Just as she stooped to do it her husband came in; he didn't see me, but went straight to his wife. One quick lift, and ho placed her on her feet, and taking the cloth from her hand, wiped up the spot himself, "There, busy-bee," he said, "yon'vo done enough to-day. You tired yourself all out getting my favorite dinner. Now I think I would leave the rest till to-morrow," I spoke to him theD, and he sat with me a few minutes before going down town. Shortly after, my friend came in looking very much amused. "I guess I was in the dumps," she said, laughing, "for I've finished; and everything has gone swimmingly since E. came in." AnaM C. Etlminh. Bow English Wives Keep House. English wives, high and low, keep house hold accounts in a way that would surprise many American women. ' Ever' penny spent in the bouse goes down in tne "housekeeper's book," with which every mistress of a house hold is provided. Evciy bill is filed away ctrefully when receipted In fact, a perfect system of order prevails, which enables every man to know exactly what it costs him to keep np his home. In that country every expendi ture is made to bear its proper relation to the income received. House rent mutt be only sack a percentage, table outlay to much, ser vants' wages so much, children's schooling so much, alms-giving to much, and if at t' e end of the year it is found that the income has been exceeded these people imutidi ately proceed to reduce items in every depart ment. The gen ral style of their living re mains about the same, but it it necessarily not quite so genuine. $n !lr fWllrtll. FRIENDSHIP. Dear friend, I pray thee, if thou wouldst bo proving. Thy strong regard for me, Mako me no vows. Lip-service is not loving; Let thy faith speak for thee. Swear not to me that nothing can divide us, So little such oaths mean, When when distrust and envy creep beside us. Let them not come between. Say not to mo the depths of thy devotion Are deeper than tho sea; But watch, lest doubt or somo unkind emo tion, Embitter thein for me. Vow not to lovo mo ever and forever, W ords aro such idle things; But when wo differ in opinions, never Hurt me by little stings. I'm sick of words, they aro so lightly spoken; And spoken, are but air. I'd lather feel thy trust in mo unbroken, Than list thy words so fair. If all the little proofs of trust .11 c heeded, If thou art always kind, No s.icrifico, no promise will be needed To satisfy my mind. "" OUR LETTER BOX Keeps up in interest to us as well as to tho little folks who so often say in their letters that they do " liko to read the letters" in the Faiimkk, and then wo aro quito suro that the big folks liko to read them, too. Dclliu and Ethel, two little sisters, send us communica tions this week. Dellio has had a quilting on her birth day, so wo know that sho has a dear kind mother who plans such a pleasure for her little girls. Where there is so much work to do, with littlo help, mothers are apt to for get or neglect to give tlicse social pleasures to tho children, and children aro apt to grow up to think there are plcasantcr places than home, and find their happiness away from mother ami father. Then mothers forget sometimes thai they wero ev'cr little, and neglect to supply tho trifles that make little hearts happy. It takes but very little to make a child happy, aud the so anniversaries of birth days are good times to remember the children by always having something pleasant for them to anticipate. A birth day cake, if nothing more, will satisfy and mako joyous the little heart for days. But a party given to children is but littlo trouble, and makes a whole neighborhood ot littlo girls radiant with happiness. In this way a littlo girl learns how to bo ahostess herself. Naomi writes a very short letter, but it makes a very good beginning. She has a nice name, if it is a littlo old-fashioned, and it sounds pleasant to us, for wo had nn aunt of that 1....... l'ei. ..0 writes a nice hand, aud seems to take somo pains to write well. Wo received the arrow head, for which wo aro much obliged. Cora has no pet but a canaiy, and thinks her little brother is a nice pet. Every little girl can, if she pleases, be of great help to mother by taking care of the littlo brothers aiul BiVtcra. Of course,. at times, it will uem to be very troublesome to have to care for them, and they will have other plans, but every girl who really loves her mother will be willing to drop self, and bo ready to take care of 1 ho baby or to nurso tho older ones while mother is getting dinner. As every ono knows that a baby is always particularly wakeful and restless at such times as mother is tho busiest, we dare say Cora is just the sort of girl wo are thinking about. Next como four letters frofn away back in the Stato of Illinois, which will be read with greater interest for that reason. Flora, in 0110 these letters, tells of a carpet nw sewing, which must bo almost as nice, as a quilting party, and a most excellent way to get a car pet made 111 a hurry. Christinas is coming soon now, and the girls ought to be thinking of what can bo made for presents to friends, almost every child expects tomething from father or mother, and patents ought to remember each 0110 with something, etcn though it bo but a trifle.

Many years ago 1 spent a few weeks with somo friends, who lived upon a largo milk farm in tho Stato of New York. They mado a great many pounds of butter every day, and Hacked it 111 firkins lor market, bo much churning could not be dono by hand, and, as working by steam was not common then, they were obliged to employ dogs, and sometimes sheep. In the basement of tho farm house was a large churn, tho handle of which' was attached to a large barrel made of slats, in such a way, that, when tho barrel revolved, tho churn was worked. When tho dairy maid was ready to churn, the would lock Bruce, their great dog, into this barrel, aud said to him, "Go on, Bruce." If ho went on, at every step ho turned the barrel. Tho faster the banc! turn ed, the faster tho churn handle moved up aud down, and tho sooner tho butter came. Bruco did not like this kind of wrk; and who of us would,? Ha often tried to shirk it by running away ; but, when John, tho farm er's son, perceived this liick, ho took euro to secure the dog over nii'ht. Tho farmer and his son wero very good to their animals; so, in order that Bruce miclit rest, they selected a sheep to pcj-forin a part of tho labor. This sheep, though quite young, was never called by any other name than "Shcepy." The dog and the sheep took turns in the churning thus: Bruce worked Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays; Old Sheep) worked the other three days of tho six. On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings, Old Sheepy could never be found without much hunting. The other three mornings she would leisurely wander near tho house, nibbling the grass near the door step. So John was obliged to drive her into an inclosure,and there confined her for the night previous to her churning, as it took too much time to find her in the morning. On Monday evening, Bruce having done his day's work was lying on a rug in the nitting room, where the farmer's children and myself wero having a quiet gamo of "Come, d'ye come! At eight o clock I'nscilla and John, as if with one thought, started up from the game with the words, "Has any one shut up Old Sheepy?" No one knew. So off John ran to get the animal, but soon returned not able to find her. "No matter," said I'rircilla, "Bruce has had an city timo to.day. We'll put hirn on to morrow; for we never had moro cream ready than now," Bruce pricked up hit ears as if to say, ''Catch me churning Old Sheepy'a but ter!" When lied time camo, I'ritcilla said, "I will not let old Brace out tc night. I will put him in the wash room." I'ritcilla didn't quito kuow B uce if she thought be was simple enough to be caught napping after hearing that. He got out, no ooo knew bow; aud there was nothing to bo dono but to wait pa tiently til' morning. Bruce had no idea of allowing Old Sheopy to get clear of her task. At midnight a terri ble barking and bleating arid growling and scampering wero heard some littlo distance from tho house. John went out to seo what the noiso was about. Ho found that Bruco had spied Old Sheepy in her hidintr place, had routed her out and driven her into the in closure ; but, as ho could not bar the gate, he stood guard against the opening, aud was barking loudly to awaken the household. As soon as John appeared upon the scene, Bruco returned tp his rug as if nothing had happened. When Old Sheepy was marched into the barrel tho next morning, you ought to have seen Bruce strutting about the basement I If Old Sheepy slackened her pace at all, Bruce would growl; if she didn t mind that, he would bark, and would not stop until he had succeeded in calling tho dairy maid to threat en Old Sheepy with tho whip. 1 uscilla ami John thought these little acts of the dog very wise; but 1 think a sheep that could tell the days of tho week, ns this 0110 was ablo to do, and knew enough to run away the night before her turn came, was just as wise as tho dog. The family wero loud in their praise of Bruce, however, and, as a rownrd for his shrewdness, talked of relieving him from fur ther work as soon as they could succeed in training another sheep. I left the farm house before this took place; so I cannot say how Bruco bore his laurels. But if I had my way, I would havo icwarded Old Sheepy, too. ticket ul. Disparity In Ages. Tho old man who marriio a young girl does not do a very wise thing, aud his bridu risks her happiness and often loses it. But there is a certain beauty in the admiring protection of tho husband, and, whatever her disappoint ment may be, in nine cases out of ten si 0 keens her own secret Her romanco may bo dormant, but affection is veiy strong in wo man, aud sho may bo fond and proud of a veiy old man who retains his faculties and his em ti ns and loves her well. But of the old wo man who marries a boy, what can wo say , what can wo think? In such a union there can bo neither dignity nor boauty. Thu man's mo tive is usually a mercenary ono, and tho wo man is simply his dupe. Tho clergyman who performs the marriage rcremony knows this at the altar; tho friends who go to church to see them married feel it acutely. Tho congratula tions ure hollow and forced. Even v hero 1111 old woman's lingering beauty has temporarily captivutcil a youth, tho looker-on can Icel nothing but sorrow tho infatuation must be so brief, the rebound so terrible. Man's love is often so light a thing even when youth and beauty rivet it I A wifo has sometimes so much to suffer even where she has chosen wisely. The contempt one cannot help feeling for the woman who barters her freedom, the scorn ono must cherish lor tho man who sens himself for a fortune, aro scarcely so strong as the pity that arises for two bound together for lifo under such circumstances as make even ordinary contentment an impossibility. The Dafoy. Good Enough for Home. "Why do you put on that forlorn old diess?" asked Emily Maimers of her coimin Lydia, ono morning after she had spent tho night at Lydia' house. The dress in question was a spotted, faded old Summer silk, Which only looked tho more forlorn for its once fiuhionablo trimmings, now crumpled unci frayed. "Oh, anything is g od enough for homo !" said Lydia, hastily ninoing 011 a soiled collar ; and twisting up her huir in a ragged knot, she went down to breakfast. "Your hair is coming down," said Emily. "Oh, never mind; it is good enough for home," said Lydia, caielcssly, Lydia had been visilim,' at Emily's home, and had al ways appeared in tho prettiest of morning ilrcsic. and with mat hair, ami dainty colors and cull's; but now she was back again among her brothers and sisters, and with In r parents, shti seemed to think anything would answer, and went about untidy, and in soiled finely. At her uncle's she had been pleasant and polite, and had won golden opinions from all ! but with her own family her manners wero as careless as her dress; sho seemed tn think that courtesy and kindness wire too expensive for homo wear, and that anything wan good enough for home. There aru too many people who, liko Lydia, scm to think tint any tiling will do for homo; whereas, cll'ort to keep onu's self neat, and to treat father, mother, .inter, brother and ser vant kindly and courteously, is ih much a duty as to keep from falsehood and stealing, Preserving Esgs. A correspondent of ono of our exchanges gives tho following method of preserving eggs: "Usa tho patent stopper glass jar with vul canized India rubber joints to maku it perfect ly tight, like tho jus for preserving fruit. As soon as tha eggs nro collected, put the jars, in to hot w.iler, and when thoroughly warm, so as to rarity the air, put the cgiis into tho jar, tha pointed ends unwind, mid pack them with paper or something to prevent them from brcakim:, then close the jar before taking it out of the water. If the work is skillfully done and tho jar is tight, tho eggs will keep for many months and bu as good foe the breakfast tablu as thu day they were laid. It is said thev will bo fit for hutching, also, a year after thoy aro so packed, but never hav nig tried them for that, we cannot uflirm it from actml experiment " Another gives the following npon the same subject: ''Take fresh eggs when thev aro plenty and cheap, and coat them with lard or any other clean grease. 1 prefer lard.
