saw a bettsr. He is economical his

A Leaf from Vedic Poetry.
Moro than three thousand vcars
ago the northwestern part of the
peninsula of Ilindostan was peopled
iy a lnajiiiihccnt race uiaguihceul
in physique intelligence courage.

which although peculiarly simple iu
iorin was remarkably pcrlect. i licy

as that of tho aut'nitie Greek or mod
crate Circassian people; their skius
were almost wnue with a laiut tiui
of gold their hair long aud glossy
their noses straight or slight.y
aquiline l heir tenses were execed-
iugly acute; thejr mental activity
intense; poetry was their natural
gilt ; the sentiment of beauty after
ward so highly developed among
tlio Hellenes was highly cultivated
among Ihem. These were the
Aryns whose blood tluws to-day iu
the veins of nil the white races ot
Europe and America and in those
of all thchighly civilized nations of
the world.
A portion of t lie mighty family to
hieh Ihev belonged emigrated
w
west and then laid the foundation
of Kuroiieau nationality bringin
with them their fire-worship so
long celebrated ou the altars
of tJ recce and Rome their social
system and their Arts of war
It is only of receut years in
deed that the intimate relation
between the antique raccsof Europe
and the- primitive Aryans has been
lully established bv the philological
analysis of tho Sanscrit writings
and it is only of very late years that
we have becu able to learn aught of
Ayran history. That history has
been eruditely and painfull v gleaned
from the Rig-Veda and other San-
scrit scriptures; ami interests us in
tensely by the revelations ot the
lives of those who must now bo re
garded as the ancestors of the white
race and white civilization. Al
though the pure Aryan type now
survives only among iho Brahmins
or Cashmere yet wo know much of
the ancient Aryan society of Aryan
domestic lite and Aryan religiou.
Wc know that they formed a sort of
patriarchal republic iu which the
purest democracy prevailed ; wc
Know oi their tivo great exodi irom
Aryavarta; wo know how their
primitive worship of ouo universal
deity manifesting himself in all the
lorms ot lire suit flame ami the
"swords of the lightning." was
gradually transformed and de
graded into polytheism by their ad
mixture with the darker races of
India; we know how the same in
fluences destroyed tho beautiful
primitive Aryan idea of woman as
the equal of intiu ; we know how the
race sought to conquer the vast pen
insula aud though winning im
incuse battles were finally absorbed
in ages of peace by the countless
swarming population about them
even as a storm lorcc that rends tho
sky with fury is finally absorbed
into the calm of iho universal air.
But of all that we know what cau
interest us more than the primitive
domestic life of these splendid
Aryan forefathers? And judged
by which that standard wc liud
that more than three thousand years
ago tho Aryan respect aud reverence
to womanhood was perhaps even
greater thau that of to-day.
As iu tho ideal republic of a great
modern dreamer tho youug Aryan
girl chose her own spouse. The
young man honored by the virgin's
choice was at once admitted its i
visitor to the house of her parents
Thero the courtship tin we of to-dav
might call it was carried on openly
under the eyes of the parents. But
the lover's caresses were confined to
timid kisses on tho girl's cheeks.
Iler lips belonged to him ouly after
i ne marriage.
M. Maurius Fontaine in his ad-
mirable L. lmle Vetlitiue. translates
lor us many exquisite passages of
inc oki Sanscrit hymns which reveal
the honorable sentiments of the
primitive Aryan race iu regard to
women; aud we cau not do better
than to present a lew ot them in an
English dress. Tho young girls
hold a most important place in
Aryan society they lend their grace
anmbility and merriment to all re-
union. "God" says an old hymn "is
transported wiin joy eveii as a
young Arya surrounded bv amiable
girls." Ihe maidens were not re
strained carefully housed or clois.
tercd ; their beauty was a delight to
the eyes. Tho care ot tho body be
came as much as duty through this
love of tho beautif ul as among the
autique Greeks; so these extracts
from the old hyiuus would seem lo
show: "The white dawn is like a
slender aud graceful virgin youth
I'ul aud laughing with shining
bosom aud body radiaut with beau
ty just emerging from tho bath
Thrice had fair Apala laved herself
in ihe waters U ludrai and thou
hast given her a skin more bril
liant than the sun." Youthful love
is beautifully spoken of in these
liyms: "Ouo must try to please
the gods even as one seeks to please
his beloved bv amiability." "The
young men loveilie voices of young
girls even as the gods love the
praises ot men." Hut what modern
sentiment could equal the sweetness
of this most ancient verse: "God
is not better lo man than in the woman
who lores him."
Alter marriage tho woman re
mains the equal of man : he is " iu-
dispeusable to her existence as the
striug to the bow" and in loviug
him her joy is innocently and pret
tily compared io mat or "the
mother who holds her first child in
her arms." Love is always snokcu
ofas a joy; lovers abandon them-
selves to each others' caresses with
"little bursts ol laughter." There
was nothing solemn dismal or loug-
faced about those splendid Aryans
All is joy and laughter although
"tho wife has treasures of love
equal to the wealth of Iho gods to
bestow upon her husband; she is
what God is to the good Aryan"
seekiug through love not through
lear "to accomplish bis slighust
wish." Uulike the women of
other antique races she
worships heaven with her hus-
band. Sho aids him to prepare
the sacrifice she Is the priestless
while he is tho priest. There is uo
luterionty or sex acknowledged in
the early hymns: Ihe woman's weak
ness is never mentioned. "As a moth-
er she is worthy of worship" says a
Sanscrit chant; 'aud "words ad-
dressed to a wife must be clothed iu
robes of respect." Her power in
the family is equal or superior to
that of her husband.
A thousand pages might easily
bo writteu upon this charming
topic; but we have only time for a
few words nnon it. The subject is
new; it is based upon the latest
revelations of philological re-
searches; but it rs too vast to be
eveu reviewed. We have ouly
turned over one charming leaf of a
beautiful book but perhaps that
leaf may give our readers some food
tor thought ; for surely even alter
tho lapse of three thovsiuid years we
poor modern souls can dream of no
sweeter thought than that old old
Sanscrit verse: " God is not better
to a man than the woman who lovea
him." Jf. O. Pcajftfue.
It is a curious fact that most of the
eminent men who flourished in the
revolution had au especial penchant
for widows. Washington married a
widow. Aaron Burr's wire was the
widow of Colonel Proyoat of the
British army. John Hancock bad
an especial taste for widows. Mr.
Madison took a widow and so did
Stephen Hopkins. So did Ambrose
Gwinett; so did Patrick Henry and
so did at least one-fourth of all the
patriots and heroes of the days that
tried men's souls as well as their
pockets. "

"We have no use for oue" rc
plied the cashier.
" But you should look into tho

iiiurelv. ".Next winter you will
want to make holes iu Your boot

on."
"Iuse club skates no holes re
quired."
" You may want to screw some
boards together sometime. The
old-fashioned method ot driving the
screws in with a hammer is perui
cious ns it deteriorates the tenacity
of the fangs of the sercw as it

"Nothing to-day sir."
"This gimlet also acts as a cork

"I don't want it."
"It inav also be used as a tack

Small. Faiim.s in the South.
The ccusiia returns make a very sig
nilicant exhibit iu many respects
one being tho increase of small
farms iu the south which the latest
returns make. In Alabama the
number of holdings is 13480 tagainst
07:5'J in 1870; Arkansas 93443
against 49124 in 1870; Florida 23.
438 against 10.244; Georgia 138'
C2C against C9.9C5 and South Caro-
lina 93864 against 51839. This is
not siiunlv a gratifying increase.
but a positively surprising record of
growth. Many ol these holding are
very small but nevertheless they
realize in t he aggregate tho success
of multiplied instances of ambition
for proprietorship. The general
condition ol industry at the south
may be considered much more hope-
ful judging from such data than it
is in the west. The best promise of
a section is associated with mauy
owners of the soil. Immense farms
are becoming too common iu the
west. Iu the south small farms are
the rule and this fact will in time
build tin communities with the de
pendent classes very small. The
new south is on its right course.
