TTSMOUTH, NOV. 20. 1879.
A oliticiiiii was once addressing the
fanners of a rural neighborhood. With
tenrliii and impassioned eloquence he
;made the visible universe lunge upon
i fanning. The faiuier was the highprtest
jot" creation. For his part, said lie, he
never saw a farmer without feeling that
he was in tiie pretence of one of God's
noblemen. The uieu were not in cities,
but on farms. It was worth a million
dollars to possess one's own quurter-sec-tion
ot land. Up spoke one too-rauch-flattered
lancher: "You can have my

The Mother Rules the World.
It is hard for a young mother, wlio has
not yt overcome the wayward teuuencies
of youthful nature, to reudzo Iheintlueiiee
she exerts over her liltic ones. Siio is
constantly suirounded by critical imita
tors who copy her morals ami manners.
As the mother is, so are her sons aud
daughters. If a family of children are
blessed with an intelligent mother, who
is dainty and refined in tier manner aud
does not consider it necessary to In; one
woman iu the drawing-room and an en
tire diiFeicut person iu every-day li.e, but
who is a true mother aud aivvuvs a lender
woman, you will invar. ably see
t speech and peilcct manning

and try io he moie mannerly when sue
stoiS to give them akiml wordora pieus
tx.nl smile; for u true mother will never
fail to say or do all the pleasant tilings
that she can that will iu xuy way help or
lilt up and cheer those whose lives are
shaded with care and toil. The mother
of to-day rules the world of to-morrow.

who is a trut
charming wt
her hahus ot
fje pealed in
heads ot the same material were found,
aud the metatarsal bone of a stag, fash
ioned into a pair of forks, ami evidently
intended for use at table. This give- a
j higher antiquity to forks for eating than
has ever beiore been ascribed to them,
ami shows that the eiegaucies of life were
ly no means unknown to the primitive
inhabitants of the lake; and Horn the
number of bone hair-pins found amongst
the tliut tools and weapons of war, it is
evident that they paid some attention to
the adornment ot" their persons. The ani
mal remains lound ou the turf moor r ;
iiiimeious. Among them are the bones
ol the dog, the b auger, aud the common
otter. The latter were doubtless met
with in the immediate neighlaji hood ot
the lake, but the presence ox the bones of
the wild ox and ot the bear indicate that
the lake-dwellers were Isold aud skillful
hunters, as wed as ingenious tool-makers.
They were also keepers of cattle, for the
most numerous animal remains brought
to light were those of the common cow and
tho moor-cow. These exist in every stage
of growth, showing that their owners had
a taste for both veal aud beef, while their
fondness for venison is proved by the
many bones of the stag and roe discover
ed by the explorers. Evidence of a like
character shows that they were hunters
of the wild boar and eateis of the domes
tisuted pig, and the existence of the beav
er in Switzerland in prehistoric tunes is
attested by the presence, among other
bones, of several which comparative ana
tomists declare to Imve leionged to that
rodent. One omission ou the list is strik
ing. No mention i3 made ol the bones
of horses having been ouud, from which
it may be interred w.tli tolerable certain
ty that the noise was either altogether un
known to tho ancient mke-dweilers, or
that they had notjauccccd-d in capturing
and taming him.
