Never heard her.
'Well. she's a wi lder, over forty yeurs
old, and I've heen Ixmuiinj tl.tic.
Yea?'
And we engaged lo le tiiiitricil.'
'Whew!' whistled llienflk-er.
I dou't Iilamcyou,' continued the young
tauu in a broken voice. 'I'm only twenty
and the fort-, but a man uau't nhvajH
tell when lie's going to make a fool f him j
self.'
'And you fell in love V
'1 did that, and as aiwn. as we sret lhr.;!!li

over futy.

'What followed ? Why, what alien f!
luwi ? Tin humau, same's anybody else,
ai.d when I love I love like a locomotive on
a down r.tde. What do you think I did i
in jnt fix weeks by the walcii ? Went to J

But it was all for love,1 replied the ser-
peant. !
" I thousrht so. and what else did I do?
IViught a forty dollar watch, a ten dollar
bracelet, a five dollar ring, a seven dollar j
set of jewelry, a new dress, and gave her a
live dollar "old niece with a hole in it I es,
sir, I drew jfoOO from the bank every red j
I had and used it all up on her !'
And ihenl'
She pretended to love hatk. and when I
aquoze her hand she smiled and smiled and
looked hcajis of love at me. She'd lean on
my arm, talk about Cupid, and get off poe
try by the rod, and it was plainly under
stood that we were to be married iu June.
Oh, fche knew her biz, and she slid around
mc us the Iieunal tigar does around a lamb.'
Did she break the engagement ?'
'Last night,' said the young man, swal
lowing the lump iu this throat,' 'she told
iuc that she'd been t riding with me all
along. She said she was engaged to
another man, and she could be no more
than a sister to iuc 1 I tell you, sergeant
you could have kuocked me down with a
straw! I braced up after awhile and called
her a hypocrite, when she called me a
while-headed idiot, and the boarders threw
rue out of doors. Five huudred dollars
gone and I'm a wrecked man.' Detroit
Fr(e Pi ts?.
He Was Not Dkcxk. A few days
eince a man dressed in good clothes, an eye
glass and a gold mounted cane, and pos
sessing altogether a clergical appcarauce,
hailed a passing street car. Tlierc was
-nothing unusual or particularly noticeable
in this, except the air of lofty dignity with
hich he commanded a hault, and the
desperate effort which he made to maintain
bis centre of gravity as he passed to the
car, and to conceal the fact that be was
slightly inebriated. Arriving at the door,
be solemnly raised the right foot to enter,
but not raising it quite high enough, he fell
headlong on the floor of the car. Raising
himself up with difficulty, he cast a severe
ly reproving look at the old gentleman who
eat near the door, aud said :
'Sir, what d'ye lift, up this car for just
as I was going to get in ?'
My dear sir, I didn't lift the car,' re
plied the old mau meekly.
Casting as steady a gaze upon the old
gentleman as he could under the circum
stances, he replied :
'Well, perhaps you dWn't. 1 won't
'tempt to argue with a man in your condi
tion. My amiable friend, it'e my calm and
deliberate "pinion that you have been look
ing upon the wine wheu it's red. Very
sony to see it in a man of your age. What
d'you 'spose your mother would say if she
should see you intossicatcd ? My friend.
I've wept man3- bitter tears over such cafes
as yours. Yes,' continued he, in a falter
ing vice, un.i pulling out his handkerchief,
'and I'm i J if I aiu't weeping now : this
you'll readily observe.'
Whereupon he vvijied his eyes with a
grand thiurith, blew 1i:h iiisc and navLa
tetl t-j t tie other end of ihe car.
Wh'. II he letu iieil hii Ueisi ii.utioll he
puiie-1 lie; Uil strap nn! M.tttetl for the
door. When he got hail' way, a. id just as
be got in front of a lady, he tripped and fell
at full length on the tloor. Haisin himself
to a perpendicular, he turned to the lad,
and iu a lone of mingled seventy and
whiskey, said
'Madame, you've certainly got the big
gest feet I ever saw in my life.'
'Sir '
Oh, don't 'pologize, tuadaiue, I beg you
don't 'pologize. You're not to blame for
it. But if you could just pare 'em down
a little, 'twould le a great 'comniodation
to the traveling public
The lady was speechless with indigna
tion, the passengers were convulsed and
the gentleman stalked majestically to the
door, stepped to the ground, and immedi
ately sal down. As the car moved away,
be arose, examined his clothes, looked up
and down the street, waved his hand in an
uncertain manner and walked away. De

A young man in Pes Moiues got mar
ried not long ago ; be worked his way to
the bottom of the drawer and got reduced
to one clean shirt. He thereupon rose ear
lier than uual one uioruing and kindled
tlie fire. Then hanging on the kettle he
made a noise on purpose to arouse his wife.
She tecped over the hlaukcts and exclaim
ed :
'My dear, what are you doing ?'
He deliberately responded :
I have put on my last shirt, and I am j

A IiNjCTOi: and a preacher were bandy
ing words on physical prowess. 'One blow
from my first,' said the D. D., 'would show
you the meaning of 'blue masB.' ' 'And
one blow from mine,' said the M. I)., would
be a new and cheap method of spreading
the Gospel.'
'I Seb very little of you.' said an old
gentleman at a fashionable hall to a young
lady whom lie bad not met for a long time
before. 1 know it,' was the artless reply,
hut mother wouldn't allow me to wear a
very low-neck dress lo-night, the weather
is so cold.'
A Ciik ago man insists that he' saw a
red and black snake forty feet long, and as
big around as a barrel of whiskey. We
bave no doubt that he did, but he unques
tionably saw the barrel of whiskey before

Dr. J. Walker's CaUfornia Vine
gar Bitters are a purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from the native
herbs found on tho lower ranges of the
Sierra Nevada mountains of California,
tho medicinal properties of which are
extracted therefrom without the use of
Alcohol.- The question is almost daily
asked, " What is the cause of the unpar
alleled success of Vinegar Bitters f
Our answer is, that they remove the
cause of disease, and the patient recov
ers his health. They aro the great
blood purifier and a life-giving princi
ple, a perfect Eenovator and Invigorator
of the system. Never before in the his
tory of the world has a medicine been
compounded possessing tho remarkable
qualities of Vikhgae Bitters in healing
the sick of every disease man is heir to.
They are a gentlo Purgative a well as a
Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation
of the Liver and Visceral Organs in Bilious
Diseases.
The properties of TR- "Walker's
Vinegar Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic,
Sedative, Counter-irritant, Sudorilic, Altera
tive, and Anti-Bilious.

The Best Time to Prune. A contributor to
the Gertnantown Telegraph thus talks on tbe
subject of pruning :
The season is approaching when many trim
their fruit trees. I pretend to bare some knowl
edge on this subject, and also some .general ob
servations. Of this I will say, too, thai the
leading aud best informed nurserymen and or
chardists is this State are agreed that pruning
of fruit trees should not be done at this season.
June is the lime. Of course pruning of smail
limbs and shoots on young or thrifty growing
trees may be done at any time without detriment
to the trees. Bat cuttiug off large limbs Is an
other thing altogether. All observing persons
know tbe effects that follow the lopping off of
large limbs, especially leading ones, in the cen
tral parts of trees. I need uot describe these ef
fects. - la trimming don't cat by guess, aor
tiusl yourself to do it without some correct in
formation ; and don't take that information from
some one who is pretentious aud may not kuow
any more than you do of the business. A man
of good judgment, and whose knowledge ia de
rived from some work on pomology, or from a
good and practical orcbardist, who lias had good
services to base his ideas on, is best and safe&t.
This is for persons who have old orchards that
have been neglected and need thorough' work.
Bat better than all this is to prune the trees
when young, in such a way that no large, limbs
will evei need removing, and so save all tie
growth to the trees. It is true this season of
fers time for odd j.bs. But don't go at pruuing
if it does. Belter sit in your house aud do noth
ing. Father, don't remove too much in one sea
son, even by the processor grafting. Th vitali
ty of lie-s to resist severe cold weather, such as
has been experienced the past winter and two
years ago, is disastrous lo trees that were severe
ly pruned the season before. I can point anyone
to this fact ail through thin State.
I know one entire orchard,(one tree excepted,)
thirty years old, that went "where the woodbine
twineth," from severe pruning, after having been
grafted two years previously. Tbe older tbe
trees the more ca ution must be observed. Toung
trees properly attended to in thia respect, pre
vents any of these troubles and daDgers. "As
the twig is bent the tree's inclined." "An ounce .
of prevention is worth a pound of cure" most
emphatically so ia growing young orchards.
Asparagus. Asparagus is one of the most
desiraule vegetables that grow, and it is a mys
tery why 60 few who have gardens cultivate it.
It is not so difficult to bave as seems to be popu
larly imagined. The Gennantoten Telegraph says
that the fault of many who desire good aspara
gus is that they set the plants too thick. To
get mammoth "grass" the roots should be set
not closer thau two feet apart. A very rich soil
is essential to good asparagus, but this may be
near the surface and above the roots. The com
mon practice of digging deep down into clay soil
is an injury, and many plantations fail from
just this extra labor in doing things "well."
The asparagus is a seaside plant naturally, aud
grows in sand or sandy soil, in which the water
passes rapidly away. The necessity of having
the roots high aud dry, instead or deep down iu
a well, is well understood by the English, who
generally plant tbe asparagus iu raised beds
lour feet wide, and often as much as eighteen
inches above the surrounding surface.
niNTS fob Planting. The season being here
for transplanting, some facts may be useful.
Dig holes Jwiae tbe diameter of the roots when
spread out throw the under soil or clay aside,
and filling np use the top soil, well pulverised,
about the roots. Before you set the tree, make
a small mound in the soil, so that tbe roots will
nicely spread oul, and Ihe tree be no deeper in
the ground than it was in the nursery. After the
root are covered, wet well, and after the water
has settled, fill up the hole. Finish off by mulch
ing before hot weather comes.
Remedy for Lice on Cattle. The latest we
bave seen is this, given by a correspondent of
the Practicial Farmer:
"A good remedy to destroy lice on cattle Is
water ia which potatoes were boiled. For every
one of vour cattle take two quarts of water a3d
eight middle sized potatoes cut in half. If yon
bave ten cattle, you must take 30 potoes aud 29
quarts of water. When the potatoes are soft
take them out ; get a large sponge and wash
your cattle freely, choosing a warm day. Comb
them with a currycomb, and yon will be astou'
lshed to see the effects of the potato water."
Peas and Pototoes. Our old friend S. Miller,
thus writes, in the Rural TTorW, about growing
these useful vegetable :
Tbe rule laid down, that seed should be covered
about three times their diameter with earth, will
not hold good in many instances, and least of
ail with the pea. Whoever plants them less
than three iucbes deep, loses by It. If planted
deep, the crop wjll last longer and will not be
affected by drouth near so much as if planted
shaliow. Among all the early peas, notwith
standing the great puffs, we fiud Landreth's
Extra Early a favorite with us. Tom Thumb is
our favorite among the dwarfs. When the re
gular planting or peas is done, say three varieties
to ripen in succession, the paa planting is usual
ly douc ; instead of which, a good gardener will
plant every two weeks uutil tbe middle of June.
It is eutirely too common lo have a couple of
messes and no more, just as though this excel
lence vegetable bad its limited time. Were it
not that our summers become too dry, we would
like to bave them the whole seacon.
For extra early palaloes, now is tbe time to
set tbeiu near a stove, so that by tbe time the
ground is fit to plant, thi-y will be wrll sprouted.

Killino tue Cabbage Worm. John Morse
of Cayuga. N. T., who correctly thinks that the
ouly way to deal with destructive insects is to
kill them, aud that mere repellents are or little
value, uses a small pair or pocket scissors to
clear his cabbages of "the worm." His patch
of 200 beads required about half and hour to go
over tham and chop the worms rapidly asunder
with the scissors, and went over them fifteen
or twenty times during tbe season ; or when
hoeing used tbe scissors as required. Tbe opera
tion was entirely successful. We have found
the most rapid and easy mnde in the use or hot
and boiling water from a watering pot. A little
practice will enable any one to judge just how
long to let the water run on each Cabbage head
without scaldiug tbe leaf it is not necessary to
spoil more thau two or three beads in learning.
Tbe leaves being thick are not quickly healed,
and the insects are destroyed without barm to
the cabbages If the work is proper'y done. The
remedy is clean and effective. Country Gentle

Ham and Eogs. This favorite spring dish may
be made wholesome or poisonous, iu villager dis
gusting, according to the skill of the cook.
To make it as bad as possible, cut the ham
thin, don't take out much of the saft, fry it very
brown ; take it out or the frying pan, and drop
in tbe eggs. The pan must be smoking hoC and
well covered with a brown substance. Cook the
eggs until the yolks are hard, and the whites or
a dirty brown color, well crisped and frizzled.
Place the eggs around the ham on a dish and
pour some of the half burned fat overall. Then
eat as much as you can, and as fast as you can,
and it will uot be tho fault of this receipt, if you
do not teel uncomfortable, A regular course of
haul aud eggs cooked in this way will ensure any
amount of spring fever, biliiousness, dyspepsia,
&c.
To make a dish of bam and eggs as good as
possible, cut the ham nearly hall an inch thick,
boil it in plenty of water till barely cooked
through, pour off the water, aud put the pan in
a place just hot enough to brown the fat part o
the ham slightly, but not hot enough to make
smoke, -or to brown the lean meat much. Wh
this is finished lemove the frying pan from .
tire, take np the ham, pour off the fat iutoac
and wipe the pau tilt it shines like a mi
iihont a single speck to mar the polish.
put iu a spoonful of the clear part of the fa
break in the eggs, and set the pau iu a' place
scarcely hotter than boiling water ; cover it and
let the eggs cook as slowly as possible tcr four or
live minutes, taking them np as soon as they cau
he lifted out. Place them around the ham, and
do not pour any of tho fat on the dish. Eat with
mnRhed potatoes.
