During the early years of my married life
I was often very unhappy, and the cares of
honsekeephm seemed a burden greater than
I could bear. The first danger which (to
quote Simon Teppertit), threatened to be-
come an invader of domestic peace was my
false idea of hospitality. I felt that I was
bound by all sacred laws to offertlie stranger
withiu my gates the best among the flesh
pots; therefore, tuy school friends and new
relations were invited to numerous dainty
luncheons and elaborate dinnere. I worked
so hard before my guests arrived, painting
menu cards, Jecorating the table and
coaching in incompetent cook, that I ap-
peared dull and stupid when theydid come,
and. was conscious all the time that I was
fast losing whatever wit and originality
I once possessed, A special orcasion wee
generally followed by a warning "front the
powers of the kitchen," who declared them -
els -es ucable to remain where 4`) much extra,
work was demanded of them. It 'se after
many tears awl inany failuree that I learned
that the life is more than toe:4 ; and. ac-
cordingly. I saw the wisdom of se) simplify,
inn my hospitality that I could give mer best
and treest self to the entertahnneut of lay
friends.

" Ohl :11Ai4s," we hove been led to Om&

Now, wo don't Laicise any ;inch thing I
stelte our reputatien ae a, genittue
Yankee, good at geesairg, that the writer
of that article is 4 crusty old bachelor, who,
in his youth, wee snubbed and jeltesi by all
the girls he sought to make love to, and it
Is more than likely that sonic of them very
mune gide are old maids uow, and he has I
lately met oue of them and tried his fate ,
over again with the eame unflattering result. i
Story writera nlwaVs deseribe their olit
maideas tali, thin, and angular, with sharp,
noses, corkserew curls, and the neuralgia.
Now, we know lots ot old =We, and
nearly every one of them is plump instead
of lean, and not one of them wears corkserew
curls. Some of them are, without excels
tion, the beat women we ever knew.
The majority of old mills are not un-
married because nobody has "asked them,"
for NVO do not believe that there is a woman
living, who has reached the age of thirty
without having had an offer.
Old maids are, generally speaking, girls
who in their youth ware belles soul bettuties
aud who seta high value on theinselvee-eeo
high to accept the proposal of common in.m,
and So they have, to u$e an old exprea,ion,
"gone through the NVOOdS without picking
up a stiel," for the Sole reason that they
were afraid of picking up a crooked one.
A girl who holds herself too high to stoop
to wed where she can neither love nor re-
pect is very likely to be an old niaid. Age
doesnot make her any the less p.trticular,
and as she goes along her life journeyshe
sees perhaps those who tvere gids
unhappily wedded to husbands who are
unkind, or dissipated, or c treless, or unfaith-
ful, and she is strengthened by the right to
go on her way alone.
And though we believe that marriage is a
divine institntion, ordained of God and
blessed by Him, and though we believe that
it is far better to marry than to be single,
yet a woman had better, a thousand times,
be an old maid than to marry a man whom
she cannot love, and for whom she feels no
sentiment of respect.
Frequently circumstances from which
there is no escape, -prevent girls from mar-
rying. Aged relatives, whose waning ansi
brokep lives need the fostering and gentle
care of a daughter, may stand between her
and happiness, and with a self-sacrifice that
costs hor, Only Heaven knows how much,
she may yield up the love for which her
heart cries humbly, on the altar of filial
duty, and stamp herself with the dreaded
!stigma of old maid.
Again death may have taken from her the
chosen of her heart, and her nature may be
too loyal mid true to admit of her enshrining
another in the place of the first, love.
Or she may never have met one who has
called forth the strongest and deepest feel-
ingof her nature, and she may be wise
enough to know that marriage is never what
God designed it should be unless it be enter-
ed into by .
"Two souls with but a single thought -
Two hearts that beat as one."
Old maids, upon the whole, are a blessing
to the world. They take care of sick sisters
and brothers, they make the clothes for lit-
tle nieces and nephews, tbey cause Sabbath
schools to flourish, they help to bind
churches together, they begtor the minister,
and get up donation parties in his interest,
they are death on dram -drinking, they are
on the side of good morals e '
verywhere and
sodiety would find it a difficult biting to get
along properly without them.
Long may they flourish 1

There is a, homely saying to this effect,:
'Cut your coat according to yonr cloth,"
hat is now what I try to do. 1 copy no

coine, and the tastes and needs of my hus-
and, my children. The wonderful methods
hieh others pursue, and the achievements of

that labor ancl cepitm1. should combine. I
se t aside a ceet ain emit for the living expenses
of the week, and then proposed to the ruling
oulinary power that, as mistress and maid,
we should co-operate for our mutal advantage
in this way. She should supply me daily
with three tneals as good as those we had
been accustomed to have, and I would give
her one4half the money she could save frem
the weekly allowance after the amount of
breakages had been deducted.
The effect was wonderful, The old fairy
story was re-enacted. The coal refused to
burn, the, china would not break and the
linen could not fare; the sugar beeame

woman. who recognized the fact that in
serving my interests she advanced her own.
I train my children to helpfulness, and teach
the boys, as well as the girls, to sweep, and
dust, and mend and care for their clothing.

It used to trouble me very much if any-

Mater agood story is told of a school where
the boys are remarkably conscientious. One
day the principal was lecturing them on the

The old story of the man who saw a thou.
sand squirrels, and then acknowledged that
he was at least sure he did see one, has
many au every -day parallel. One such in-
stance of "tapering off" may be found in
the little book entitled, "How 1 Spent My
Summer Holidays."
One day, when we were travelling by
steam ,
boat on the River Elbe my father sat
down on a large wooden chest; but he had
not occupied this post long, before he found
that a quantity of yellow stuff was oozing
out below on the deck. He had been sitting
on a box of eggs.
Beating a hasty retreat to the extreme
end of the boat, he began to admire the
scenery, when an old woman, the owner of
the eggs, found him out, and insisted on his
purchasing the whole case. My father
apologized, but explained that as we should
only stop one night in Dresden, it would be
imposeible for him to make use of fifteen
hundred ieggs. The old woman was irate,
and we 11=min:table : but presently the

Some Chance Invention.
The process of whiteningsugar was never
known until a hen walked through a clay
preidie, and then strayed into the sugar -
house. Her tracks were, of course, left in
the piles of sugar, and when it WM noticed
that the spots where she had stopped were
whiter than the rest, the process of bleach-
ing sugar with clay was adopted.
An English stationer once adopted a
fanciful mode of dressing his window by
placing in it piles of,stationery so arranged
that pyre.micls should be formed. In order
to finish these piles accurately he cut some
cards to bring them to a point. Some of
these cards were sold for writing paper,
and as they were too small when folded to
be addressed the stationer invented envel-
opes to contaixt them.
The wife of an English paper maker one
day dropped a blue -bag into one of the oats
of pulp. When the workmen saw the col-
oured paper they were astonished, and their
employer was so angry at the ndsobance
that his wife did not dare confess her agency
in bringing it about.
The paper was stored for years as a dam-
age.: lot, and finally the manufacturer sent
it to his agent in London, telling him to
sell it at any price. Fashion at once mark-
ed it for her own. It was rapidly sold at
an advanced rate, and the manufacturer
found it difficult to supply at once the great
demand for coloured paper.
An alchemist, when experimenting in
earths for making crucibles, found that he
had invented porcelain, and a evetchmaker's
apprentice, while holding a spectacle glass
beeween his thumb and forefinger, noticed
Oat through it the neighbourieg buildings
appeared larger, and thus discovered the
adaptability of the lens to the telescope.
Nuremburg glass-eutter one day, by
accident, drepped a little aquafortis upon
his spectacles, and finding that ft corroded
and softened the glass, conceived the idea
of etching upon it. He drew figures upop
the glass with varnish, applied the fluid,
and cut away the glass about the drawing;
when the varnish was removed, the figures
appeared, raised upon a dark ground.
Thus it seems that Dame Fortune looks
out for her children, and when they are
slow in learning useful secrets and possi.
bilities drops a word of advice intheir way,
so that they cinnot do else but read it..

Origon of the Bridal Veil. 1,
The veil is as old a part of the Marriage
ceremony as any known to civilisation, be-
ing mentioned in Genesis Xxiv. 65. Amongst
the Anglo-Saxons it was customary to per-
form the marriage cereinony under a square
piece of cloth, held at each corner by a tell
man over thebridegroom and bride to conceal
the blushes Of the latter, and this was seed
by some to be the origin of the bride's veil:
but the custom of brides wearing veils ap-
pears to have been almost universal among
ancient nations. In Turkey a bride is al-
ways covered eight days before her
marriage and no ono not even
the relations of her intended hus-
band, may have permission to see her other-
wise during that thne. In Greece it was
the custom for the bride to wear a long veil,
which entirely concealed her features. The
veil was removed when she reached the
house of the bridegroom. In Japan and.
Persia brides are closely veiled, whilst in.
Egypt the bride is never seen by the bride-
groom till after the ceremony, and she is al-.
ways veiled.
Hints to Blethers.
Never meat the bright sayings of year
children in their hearing.
The width of cotton dresses fir girls of
fourteen is about three yards and a half.
Tell your little ones all you know a out
the birds, and plants, and trees as you.
ramble with them in the country.
It is not a good plan to allow children to
keep late hours in summer. Heat is exhaust-
ing, and they are best in bed, even if they
are only resting.
No matter how warm the summer is, a
child should always wear an undervest of
wool, or a mixture Of cotton and vlool. Tlds.
