Leaflets from a Southern Home.
It is rather annoying to have a
person begin to talk or to write
about the weather the first thing,
nevertheless tins cem to iue to be
an appropriate beginniug to my let
ter at the present time.
This part of Virginia, just south ol
"Washingtou, has been visited with
heavy snow falls this past wiuter
resulting in seven weeks of hleighing
ami although the thermometer stood
at one time at eleven degrees below
zero, there wan no frost in the
ground under the snow, consequent
ly when the weather turned warm
on the tenth of February the snow
went off at a very rapid rate. On
the following Saturday we went to
Washington in our own carriage
Our usual way of going to the city
is by way of the long bridge, so
called because it crosses the river at
the widest part, and the bridge is a
mile in leugth. It is also a railroad
bridge. But we had heard that the
ice had carried away a part of this
bridge, so we went to the city by
way of Georgetown and the aqua
duct bridge.
Georgetown, so named after the
first name of Washington, is now so
built -up that it is all one continuous
city with Washington. It is a drive
of about five miles Jrom the aqua
duct bridge to the capitol, over a
splendidly smooth asphelt road.
I was accompanied only by my
little daughter, twelve years of age,
and I now propose to amuse the
readers of the Jouknal by au ac-"
count of the indipendent fashion in
which a self-reliant lady can pass the
day in that beautiful city, wheu the
time is all her own, aud she is thor
oughly acquainted with the lay of
the streets and avenues.
Wheu we came iu sight of the
bridge wo saw that it was dark with
the crowds of people who were
looking at the ice in the river. The
ice wa? all chopped up, apparently
as fine ns stove wood, and it was
passing down stream very rapidly.
There was no water to be seen cither
above or below the bridge.
This bridge is very high. It spans
the tubes which carry the water into
the city; it spans the river, and it
also spans a canal, which is carried
orer the river and tinder the bridge
at this point. The waters of the
canal run iu an iron conductor over
the waters of the Potomac, and unuYr
the bridge.
When iu the city we took street
cars from polut to poiut. A part of
the embankment of the river had
broken away and the whole lower
part of the city was flooded with
water. The passengers were taken
away from the depot in boats. We
rode in a street car along Pennsyl
vania Avenue, where the water just
cleared the floor of the oar and there
were boats on each side of us; and
a little farther down, men were try
ing to get through with wagons and
the horses were swimming. Whole
rows of beautiful stores completely
eubmerged. There was the greatest
excitement, and crowds of people
viewing the novel sight.
We visited the Art Gallery. It is
a very beautiful buildiug, presented
to the city by Mr. Coram, and its
halls are filled with statuary, paint
iugs, aud a museum of bronzes, old
plate, and other curiosities. It is an
enchanting spot. One has hard work
to get away from it. It is useless to
attempt a description of the marve
lous pictures and 'speaking marble.
We went from the Art Gallery to
the White House to attend Mrs.
Hayes's Saturday afternoon recep
tion. The White House stands back
from the 6treet ; it has a carriage
sweep extending from one gate to
the other, and a lovely green lawn
with fouutain8 and flowers. The
house is not modern, it is quite state
ly and extensive, and it has a very
large pillard portico in front. The
pillars extend to the roof. There
wav a great array of grand carriages
with their dusky footmen, in waiting
for the company within. The portico
was covered with brupsels carpet,
and the whole lower story of the
house was thrown open. We passed
into the grand hall which is separat
ed from the prominade hall by a
ground glass screen the whole length
and hight of the hall. We passed
through a door in this screen, and
on through the red parlor, and the
green parlor, to the blue parlor.
These rooms are so called because
all the furnishing and the decora
tious are of those colors. They are
all of them most sumptuously adorn
ed with silk velvet-seated chairs,
sota5,&c, splendid curtains, pictures,
statuary aud chandalicrs, aud on
every hand plants and flowers, and
vines in abundance combiued to
produce a perfect scene of onchaut
nient. 1 grasped my little girl by the
hand, and we valliantly held our
own amid the thronging procession
which nearly pressed the life out of
us. She suggested that wc step on
one side and walk by ourselves, but
I assured her that if we did that we
should never be able to squeeze back
again, aud we would have to go
around to the front door and begin
over again.
In the blue parlor Mrs. Hayes
stood, before a blue velvet sofa;
Colonel Casey stood at her left hand ;
on her right, Mrs. Secretary Sher
man, and on Mrs. Sherman's right
hand Mrs. Dr. Carter, of Columbus
Ohio, a personal friend of Mrs.
Hayes.
As we approached we gave our
names to Colonel Casey, and he im
mediately introduced us to Mrs.
Hayes. It was not by any means a
formal baud shaking, not in our ca e
at any r.ite. 1 h.ive the reputation ol
possessing a very expressive counte
nance, aud 1 felt a deep love for the
lady betorc me. Colouel Casey said
to Mrs. Hayes, "Let me introduce
you to Mrs. Davis, of &c," aud she
responded "Mrs. Davis I am glad
to see you. Mn. Davis, this is
Mrs. Sherman, aud Mrs. Carter."
Mrs.Uayes was all animation aud
action, very cordial. She looked
warm, aud I was much impressed
with the hard work she was going
through with. Why, to thus re
ceive, and to congratulate five hun
dred people, must be a greater
strain upon ones streugth than to do
a week's washing. She is not very
tall rather fleshy aud matrouly in
appearance ; she has soft, dark eyes,
and a very expressive countenance.
She wears her abundant dark hair
smoothly drawn over her ears, aud
iu a rich coil at the back of her
head. And this distinguished lady,
occuyiug the highest place in the
land, was oue of the plaiuest dress
ed persous present. She wore a
blacu Bilk dress, with a white lace
scarf arouud her neck, confined at
the throat by a bunch of lillies of
the valley, natural flowers.
Afterwards we. went through the
conservatories and the rooms and
halls. Among those present was
Mrs. Senator Saunders of Nebraska,
aud a host of distinguished people.

Furnilng: will Pay.
We think from facts and reasons
the conclusion is a reasonable one
that fanning will pay, if properly
conducted a provieo applicable to
every regular busiuess if success is
calculated on. If men can rent land,
save enough from their crops to buy
themselves Janus while they are
supporting their families, surely
those who own farms and stock
ought to make a living and lay by
something.
Farming successfully involves as
many necessary qualities as any oth
er calling, and more than farmers
are generally aware of, particularly
thoee farmers who select the most
inditl'erent ol their sous forfarming
life. The bright, intelligent oues
must be lawyers, doctors, teachers,
professors, etc., and are sent oil' to
college to obtain a good education,
while the dull, unpromising hoys
are kept on the farm, with little ed
ucation or information, to plod on in
the beaten paths of their forefathers
paths which too o!teu have led to
tailure aud disappointment. Let
young men, and old ones too, if not
"too old to learn," understand that
there is no calling which requires
more industry, more sound judg
ment, more practical good sense,
more thought, more study of sur
rounding circumstances, and chang
ing conditions, and more strict
attentiou than that of the farmer.
Circumstances aud conditions are
constantly changiug on a farm and
tanner's work cannot be carried on
by a fixed programme. Constant
thought, study and pereonal atten
tiou are necessary to plan to the best
advantage to meet contingencies!
adapt mcaus to ends, overcome dif
ficulties and conquer success. Hear
what au iutelligent, practical farmer,
Mr. Win. Hollman, of Cumberland,
Va., says on the necessity of person
al attentiou :
"No man can find another who
will attend to his business as well
as himself." It is personal interest
that makes the difierence, aud per
sonal interest is a great incentive to
huinau action. It sharpens the wits
and stimulates action in a wonder
ful manner. It is neither the duty
nor tnc interest of the practical far
mer, if his operations be extended
to convert himself into a common
laborer and work constantly with
his own hands, though he should he
prepared to lend a helping hand
when necessary. It is more partic
ularly his province and duty to su
perintend and direct to keep his
laborers up to their work and do the
thinking aud planning. The negro
is the best aud cheapest laborer in
the South, but to make his labor pay
requires constaut attention aud di
rection. He is a machine and scarce
ly ever exercises judgment or dis
cretion iu the performance of his
work. Personal attention is nec
essary and valuable for many other
reasons. It enables the farmer to
have more work done and better
done; it enables him to avoid trou
bles and difficulties with his laborers
aud it enables him to be just, and
kind, and iudulgeut to them, when
it is proper to be so, and this he
should always be when the laborer
has discharged his duty faithfully.
Very few persous are sufficient
judffea of farm work to determine
whether the laborer has doue his
duty, wheu the master is spending
his time at the 'cross roads' store;
and it very ofteu happeus that the
poor laborer Is treated very unjust
ly and harshly in consequence.
American Farmer.
Nothing is better to clean silver
with than alcohol and atnonia; after
rubbing with this, take a little whi
teuiug or a soft cloth and polish. In
this way even frosted 6ilver, which
is o difficult to clean, may be easily
made clear and bright.
A week mind ie like a microscope,
which magnifies trifling things, but
cannot receive great ones.
Only Once!
A great king, desiring to teach his
son a practical lessou, ordered a long
table to be prepared in oue of the
galleries of his palace, set out with
all manner of toys, fruits and other
things which he thought would
please the little boy. Takiug him to
a door at one end of the room, he
said to him, "My son, pas's down
this hall, aud whatever" you are
pleased with, you may take for your
own, on one condition you are uot
to turn back. When you have gone
the whole leugth of the table, and
have mail" your decision, go out at
the other door, and bring me what
you have chosen."
Joyfully the little boy started, en
chauted with the prospect ; he ate
aud drank, aud gathered his hands
aud his arms full of treasures, and
preseutly tiring of what he had, he
threw them away to mako room for
some glittering toy which attracted
iiim farther on; but which, when se
cured, somehow did not please nor
satisly him as much as he had ex
pected, and he was constantly look
iug back regretfully to that which
he had left behind, and which he
thought more desirable. Now, in
stead of being happy in haviug his
choice of all these good things, the
little boy grew irritable and dissat
isfied. At length he appeared before
the king with a sorrowful counte
nance, aud in his handu were a few
hrokeu toys.
"Is this all, my foii, that you have
brought me out of the infiuite varie
ty from which you had to choose."
"Yes, father," sobbed the weeping
boy, "that which pleased me at first
seemed so poor and inferior, when I
had them, to that which I saw fur
ther on, that I could not be conteut,
and always hoping to secure some
thiug to please me better, I could
not make my choice, and now these
arc all I have. Oh, if I might go
back once more !'
"Not so, my son," said the king,
that cannot be; but let this lesson
sink deep iu your heart. As you go
through life, enjoy each day all there
is in it of pleasure and happiness.
Do not look back with vain regrets,
nor live in anticipation of future
joys, oblivious of those which are in
your reach. Let each day bring its
measure of comfort and cheer. The
present is all that you are ever sure
of; by wisely improving it your
memories of the past will be pleas
ant, a"nd your future happiness will
be assurod."
Power ol Example.
Example is power. It is alike so
iu the circles of wealth and refine
ment aud in the haunts of poverty
and iguorance. It tells everywhere,
and mukes its mark for good or evil
all over the world of men and
thought. All history is but a reiter
ation of the power of example
power to bless and refine, or to
blight and ruiu humanity. Unless
its teachings impress us with this
truth, we are indeed poor students
of human history. One has well
said that "History is philosophy
teaching by example."
Example is power of good. Ev
ery man has influence, more or less,
in his sphere of life, and that influ
ence, in the very nature of the case,
must tell on his fellows. If he be a
good man, his example must and
will do good. It cannot be other
wise. A pure aud virtuous life, like
the sun in the heavens mint shine
and bless, brighten and warm in the
moral world. So it has over been,
and so it eeer will be. Truth and
purity, like so mauy gems in the life
and example of the good mau, can
not but shame and condemn error
and vice in others.
A fault dotb never with remorse
On mind so deeply move
As when another's guileless life
Our error doth reprore.
Example is also a power for evil.
There is no estimating the extent of
a bad man's influence iu the world ;
its moral reach is indeed fearful.
"Oue sinner destroyeth much good,"
is the testimony of the wise man, as
well as the practical teaching of all
experience. An instrument of in
calculable harm in any community
is the man who arrays his life and
example against virtue and religion ;
and yet thousands of our fcllowbe
iugs seem only to live that they may
blight humanity with the influence
of their wicked lives and evil exam
ple. Their work in the world is
that of destruction, for tqey literal
ly "destroy much good."
Cicero gave his followers the best
of counsel wheu he &aid to them:
"Be a pattern to other's theu all will
go well ; for as a whole city is infec
ted by the licentious passions and
vices of men, so is it likewise re
formed by their moderation.
What Men ecd Wiv For.
It is uot to sweep the house, and
make the bed, and darn the socks,
and cook the meals chiefly that a
man wants a wife. If this is all he
wants, hired servants can do it cheap
er than a wife. If this is all, when
a young man calls to see a lady, send
him into the pantry to taste the
bread and cakes she has made ; send
him to inspect the need!e-workaud
bed-making; or put a broom into
her hands and send him to witness
its use. Such things are important,
and the wise young man will quiet
ly look after them. But what the
true man most wants of a wife is
her companionship, sympathy aud
love. The way of life has many
dreary places iu it, aud man needs a
companion to go with him. A man
is sometimes overtaken by misfor-
tut a; ho meets with fdi'ure and de
feat ; trials and temptations beset
him ; aud he needs oue to stand by
him aud sympathise. He has some
stern battles to fight with poverty,
with enemies, aud with stu, and he,
ueeds a woman that, while he puts
his arms arouud her aud feels that
he has something to fight for, will
help him fight ; that will put her
lips to his ear aud whimper words of
counsel, aud her hand to his heart,
aud impart uew inspirations. All
through life through storm and
through sunshine, conflict and victo
ry, through adverse aud favorable
winds man needs a moman's love.
The heart yearns for it. A sister's
or a mother's love will hardly sup
ply the need. Yet many seek for
nothing further than success in
housework. Justly euough, half of
these get nothing more. The other
half, surprised above measure, have
obtained more than they sought.
Their wives surprise them by bring
ing a nobler idea of marriage, and
disclosing a treasury df courage,
sympathy, and love.
WEBSTER.
Anecdote or the God-Like"
luulel at llunker Mill.
As a boy clinging to my lather's
arm, 1 stood ou Bunker Hill, where
stood at the same time most of Mas
sachusettsin fact, most of the
Atnericau nation, it reckoned by
quality, aud listeued to Daniel Web
ster when the top stone of the mon
ument was laid. That experieuce
was in the power of a single seu
teuce, aud a sentence which proba
bly does not appear in Mr. Web
ster's published works. The ora
tion had not yet begun, and the vast
crowd, pressing to get nearer the
orator, finally, iu their impetuosity
pushed back tho lines of military,
and as, in my vicinity, the guards
held their muskets horizontally
pressed against tho breasts of the
people, they were swept away by
the crowd, who knocked up their
muskets, hitting breech aud bayo
uet right aud left, and pouring for
ward iu such masses as threateued
to trample those in front to death.
In vain the master of ceremonies en
treated them to fall back, for there
was au oceanic swell behind that
fairly flung those iu advauce toward
the stand. At last he begged Mr.
Webster himself to come forward
aud plead with the tumultuous
crowd. He arose, advanced a step
or two toward us, aud said : "Gen
tlemen, you must fall back!" "Mr.
Webster, it is iraposiblo! It is im
possible, Mr. Webster!" shouted a
thousand voices as oue. Theu the
Jupiter Tonans burst forth. Raising
his arm and his voice, as his burning
eye flashed over tho multitude be
fore him, he exclaimed, "Gentlemen
nothing is imposible to Americana
on Bunker Hill!" A great shout
thundered through these thronging
thousands, aud they surged back
like waves from the shore. That
was eloquence, or, rather, to use
Webster's immortal language, it was
''something higher aud nobler than
all eloquence action, noble, sublime
god-like action." Rev. Dr. Newhafl
in Zio)i's Herald.
How to Succeed.
The first requisite to success is not
to uudertake an unwise and imprac
ticable thing. For this reason the
advice often inculcated by wise aud
great men has been to give much
time and reflection to the formation
of plans. Be slow to decide; but,
having resolved, be prompt to act.
It is not sufficient, by any mcaus,
to be prompt in beginning to act.
This is.easy to every one. It is the
continued, persevering, unflagging
activity which, uloue, accomplishes
great results.
The temptations which besot one's
steps at every stage to deliver his
attention from the main pursuit he
has fixed on, are almost innumera
ble, aud to the irresolute and weak
they are found irresistible. This
accounts for numerous failures.
If a man has not attained to what
he started for it wil almost always
be found that he has been attending
to something else. The song of the
bird by the way-side fell upon his
ear and charmed his eye, and he lin
gered when his pace should have
been onward and firm and qnick.
If you would insuro success in your
undertaking, whatever it may be, let
nothing divert your attention from
it. Leave nothing undone, no mat
ter how seemiugly little and uuiin
portaut it may be, which is calcula
ted to promote its accomplishment.
There is no other way to make suc
cess cortaiu. It is not luck. It de
pends on doiug, doing, doing.
Yet simple as the lessou of suc
cess is few as are its requisites
there is nothing that people are
slower to learn.
The geographical center of the
United States is at 95 deg. 47j mln.
west longitude, which is about the
vicinity of Omaha. The center of
population, considering the United
States a plain surface, itself without
weight, but capable of sustaining
weight, and leveled with its inhabi
tants, in number and position such
as they are fouud, and each individ
ual being assumed to be of equal
weight, and consequently to exert
pressure on the pivotal point, di
rectly proportionod to his distance
therefrom, both north and south and
east and west, is at a point forty
eight miles ea9t and a trifle north of
Cincinnati. .
Inculcate Carefulness.
I shall never forget my own child
ish tears aud sulks over my scwiug.
My mo'ther was a perfect fairy at
her needle, and her rule was relent
less ; every long stitch was picked
out and douo over again, aud neither
tears nor entreaties availed to rid me
ot my task till it was properly done;
every corner of the hem turned by
the thread ; stitching' measured by
two threads to a stitch; felling of
absolutely regular width, and patch
ing done invisibly ; while fiue darn
ing was a sort of embroidery I ha
ted it then, but I have lived to bless
that mother's patient persistence;
and I am prouder to-day of the six
patches in my small girl's school
dress which cannot be seen without
searching, than of any other hand
work except perhaps my bread !
Mint to LovrrM of Flowers.
A most beautiful and easily at
tained show of evergreens may be
had by a very simple, method which
has been fouud to answer remarkably
well on a small scale. If geranium
branches, taken from luxuriant aud
healthy trees, be cut as for slips and
immersed iu soap water they will,
after drooping for a few day3, shed
their leaves, put forth fresh ones,
and continue iu the finest vigor all
winter. By placing a number of
bottles thus filled in a flower bas
ket, with moss to conceal the bot
tles, a show of evergreens is easily
insured for the winter. All the dif
ferent varieties of the plauts being
used, the various shapes and colors
of the leaves blend into a beautiful
effect. They require no fresh wa
