"The hermits of old" forswore all the pleasures of life that they might devote themselves entirely to medita tion and prayer the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, in this nineteenth cen tury, renounce all the material benefits of life and shut themselves up in clois ters not for themselves alone, not sim ply to avoid) the world and all its vain pomps, but first and above all for the preservation and redemption of wom anhood. God's creature first unpro tected girlhood and erring, sorrowing womanhood the salvation of these constitute the life work of the Sistera of the Good Shepherd. For this noble and Christian end they leave home and friends, ease and luxury, end renounce the world a completely as "the hermits of old." No one can join the order of the Good Shepherd unless her reputation and the reputation of her family is free from all blemish. And yet these spotless women not only bury themselves alive for the love of the God they adore, but they gladly give themselves heart and soul to the preservation and redemption of their less fortunate sisters. Beep wibhin the stone walls of the mausoleum which they call theiir "house" they work earnestly and lov ingly, with willing1 hands, cheerful hearte, and dauntless energy, from four in the morning till nine at night, day in and day out, year in and year out, from the day they take their vows, pledging themselves to God amd their special work to the day they lie in their cells dying and all for woman 1100a for her preservation, if she is virtuou but helpless; for her salvation if she is fallen. Faillen woman, when the world turns from her in scorn, when she drinks the biitter dregs of humiliation and degra dation, when all is lost but life and the power of suffering, fallen woman in her last extremity can always find n home and a refuge beneath the samt roof as the pure, self-sacrificing Sister of the Good Shepherd. To this heaven-inspired sister there is no world, and there never will be any but the dreary world within the cold stone walls around her; no society but that of helpless innocents or wrecked unfortunates; and yet she goes through her life cheerful and happy, content and joyful if she save by gentle precept and exemplary conduct a few out of the thousands to whom she devotes her vir tues, her Intellectual accomplishments, her patience and her life.

Aa Important Busln tn the Eastern Htatea. The management of the vineyard is an interesting study and one which to be successful requires technical knowl edge. In the large vineyards, as a rule. the owner himself gives personal super vision to everv detail: sometimes a manager or overseer performs theee duties. One of the largest growers iu this section tells me that the most suc cessful grower is the foreigner who with his family of eight or ten comes and leases or buys 25 or 50 acres ol land, each member of the family having 111s ui uti nil iu -.vM ,.tnrm from spring until picking time, whiie the winter is devoted to the making of the bankets. Thus no outside expendi ture is incurred and when the grapes are sold the proceeds return to the family as the profit on the individual labor of each, member quite in contrast witn the large owner who ia compelleo. to hire help to do each little thing, in addi tion to buying his baskets. The Concord grape is the only variety of any consequence raised in this re gion, and some idea of the magnitude of the business carried on may be had when it is known that the shipments this year from Chautauqua county alone amounted to 3,500 car loads, 3,000 bas kets of ten pounds each in each cur. These are taken from the grower ny some one of the numerous growers' as- eociations, whose business, it is to find a market. Strange as it may seem it is nevertheless true Uat three-fourths of them go to point west of Chicago, while tbe other one-fourth travel east- ward. The making of basket la an impor tant item. Many factories are em ployed. The price range from two to two and a half cents per basket; thus the grower who would find hi business ia any way profitable must in audition to tho cost ot the basket realize at least one cent per pound for his grapes, while to-day it is a common thing to find a ten-pound basket on the retail market slow sale at ten cent. Thu we find that tbe utmost care muat taken in the management ot a vineyard to make it profitable. Robert Lew Seymour, lu Chautauquan. TE U.S. GOVERNMENT!

This ring, says Harper' Round Tablctboughar-twithdiamomls and pearls, la nevertheless e ntirvly un guarded. Tbe police pay no attention to It, nor ia there any provision made for watching It by special ofllcers, be cause it I not believed that any thief, however daring, would venture to a propriate it to his own use; and when the hia lory of the ring U conaidered, it la hardly to be wondered at Uiat a su perstitious people prefer to give it a wide berth. According to the nsory that is told of it, the ring was made for King Alfonso XIU the faJiirr of the prvarnt king of Spain. Alforavo pre sented it to hi cousin, Merredea, on the day of their betrothal. How short brr married life was all know; and on her death the king presented the ring to bla grandmother. Queen Christina. Shortly afterward Queen Christina died, and the king gave uhe ring to bis later, the Infanta del Pilar, who died within the month following.
