KIOHT AT EAST.
Kilty Glenn stood iu the pantry
with the sleeve of her gingham dre~s3
rolled up to her shoulders, displaying
the plump, while arms, her hands
playing bopeep in the heap of flour be
fore her, and her bright eye* peep
ing out through the green vines
which shadowed the window to the
handsome specimen of humanity which
stood upon the lawn bofore the house,
busily talking with Bob Glenn.
Dick Arnot was her ideal of litanli
ness and perfection, and ever since he
had "beaued" her home from singing
school on the preceding winter, she
had kept a warui place for him in her
loving heart, and loved to plea?>e him.
Every time she wound her shining
curls around her white fingers, it was
with a thought that it would please
Dick, and whenever she donned her
pretty muslin dress, it was with
pleasure, because once she had heard
him express his admiration of them.
All at once that bright morning,
Dick left Kitty's brother, and walked
strait up to the vine-wreathed win
dow and gazed in upon the pretty pic
ture.
"Well, Kitty, I am here to'saygood
by. lam going away from home."
"Going away!"
There was a great deal of real pain in
her voice, and all the sunshine left her
face.
"Yes, I am going to the city to seek
my fortune. Are you sorry."
"Yes, Dick, I am sorry."
"Well, Kitty, I am going to write to
you; will you answer my letter?"
"Yes, indeed."
"And I shall expert a true answer to j
all the questions I ask."
She blushed and laughed.
"Why, I always tell the truth,
Dick." *
"Yes, yes, I know, but—well, but—"
"But what?"
"Never mind, little one, I'll tell it
all in my letter. Good-by, Kitty."
And away he ran, leaving her confus
ed and unhappy at the window.
Poor little girl! Her heart waudered
out to the great handsome fellow cross
ing the bridge at the foot of the long
hill, and she forgot her biscuit, and
moulded them till they were hard as In
dia rubber.
Mrs. Glenn came in and gave her a
smart pinch for her forget fulness, and
when she returned to the kitchen she
shook herhead and believed that Rath
erine's wits were sartin leaving her.
"Leave the gal alone, mother !" said
Farmer Glenn, who had come up from
the field for the lunch box and his root
beer. "She's no different from gals in
old times. I saw that young Arnot
goin' down th© hi". auh I guess he
carried her wits with him. Hey, Kit
ty ?"
"Xonesense!"
"Never mind, pet, he's a likely chap
and may make a great man."
Ah, how anxious Kitty waited for
the letter which was to bring the
sweet story from Dick, and poor Bob
was dispatched every day for the mail,
rain and shine.
One week, two weeks passed, and
yet no letter, and the light heart grew
heavy and sad.
"Why didn't Dick write?"
One night Bob brought a bundle of
letters and papers, and as he tossed
them into her lap, he said :
Tnere, sis, I hope you'll find that let
ter that you so long for, among the
pile. I hate to see you so sorry. Ido
believe you expect to hear from Dick
Arnot! If it's so, he had better write;
if he don't I'll tan his hide for him."
"Don't Bob!" pleaded Kitty, anx
iously looking for the wished-for mis
sive.
It was all in vain !
There was a letter from a city cousin
who wanted to make a visit to Glenn
Farm. There was another from uncle
Will, all business and politics, and mes
sages to her father, and one from an
old school friend, but none from Dick.
She tossed them into the little table
drawer and went up to her chamber
and cried until her bright eyes were
I dim and heavy.
Of course she did not care for him.
| Oh, no! i>ut he had no occasion to
promise her a letter, and beg her to
i write to him. The wretch !
Well it did pot help the matter, and
after three or four weeks of eager
watching she gave it up, and buried
her love and hope deep down in her
heart, and tried hard to forget him.
It was no easy task, for Kitty's life
was quiet and uneventful, and there
was nothing to call her mind from the
old happiness of which she had so fond
ly dreamed.
When the year ended Dick return
ed.
Kitty saw him at church and receiv
ed his formal bow with hightened col
or and beating heart. He passed close
beside her and looked into her face
with a bland smile, bqt never spoke a
a word.
Poor Kitty! It brought back the old
trouble, aud' when she went home she
sat down aud cried as in days when
she watched for the promised letter.
lie came one night, and met Kitty
as she came up from the field with a
basket filled with ripe strawberries up
on her arm.
She saw him, and wished herself
Lniies away ; but there was no chance
to avoid him, and "he walked straight
to the bars, where he awaited ner,
"Kitty, you are tryiug to avoid ie,
but as there are* no other means of leav
ing th? field unless you climb the fence
of course you must pass me. Now, I
ain better natuied than yourself. Ido
not entertain an unkindly feeling
toward you, for all your unkindneas."
"My unkindness!" - '
"Yes, you never gave ine one kind
word in repiy to the long letter I sent
you so many months ago."
"Your lettef! I never received it. I
watcher! for it, Dick, until I was tired,
but it never came.
"But I sent it, Kitty, and watched
for your reply until my heart grew
sick. But as it never met your eyes I
will tell you its contents. Will you
listen?"
"Certainly."
"It was a long letter, but its whole
import can be told in a few words. 1
only told you how dear you were to
me, ami asked you to wait until I came
to claim you for my wife."
"O Dick I"
"Whatshall it be? Are ycu ready
to reply ?"
"Yes, I think so."
"And your reply is—
' Yes."
He leaned over, and kissed the
bright face, and then dropped the birs
for her to walk through, and together
they walked up the lane to the house.
"Dick" called Bob, "has Kitty
found her letter?" "I believe so for she
looked as she did when you stood
talking at the window, last summer."
Yes, Kitty had found her letter, or
its meaning, and all the vanished hap
piness stole back to her heart and light
ed tip her sweet face !
It was only a short time ago that
Kitty in her cottage just across the
way from father's, sat cutting the old
worn out blue jacket, which Boh had
gloried in for several years, into strips
for a drawn rug, on the frame close by
and found in the lining a little creased
and soiled envelope. She turned it o
ver and read, "Miss Kitty Glenn, Har
ding, X. H."
"Dear me! I wonder what this
means!" she thought; and after she
had turned it over several times she o
pened it.
There it was, the long-lost letter in
which Dick had toid his love-story!
Kitty smiled.
"Weil, it's just as well. v It came out
all right."
AT EASE IX SOCIETY.
"I'd rather thrash wheat all day in
the barn," said Reuben Riley to his
sister, as he adjusted an uncomfortable
collar about his sunburnt neck, "than
go to this pesky party. I never knew
what to do with myself, stuck up there
in the parlor all the evening. If the
fellows would pull their coats off
an<l go out and chop on a match, there'
he some sense in it."
"Well, 1 hate it as bad as you do,
Reub," said sister Lucy. "The fact is,
we never go nowhere, nor see any
body, aud no wonder we feel so awk
ward when we do happen to stir out."
The remarks of this brother and
sister were but echoes of the sentiment
of many other farmers' boys and girls,
when invited out to spend a social eve
ning. But poor Lucy had hit the true
cause of the difficulty. It was not be
cause they so seldom went to any
place, but because their is such a wide
difference between their home and
company manners. The true way to
feel at ease in any garb is to wear it of
ten, If the pleasing garb of good man
ners is only put on upon rare occasions
it will nevee fit well, and never seem
comfortable.
la?arn to behave pro|er!y at home,
to cultivate yourself. Do not sit, or
stand, or lounge about in ungainly at
titudes, but acquire a manly, erect and
graceful bearing. I have never seen
such vigorous, hearty manhood in any
class as among cultivated farmers' sons.
Let table manners lie especially looked
afte'. Note carefuliy how well-bred
people behave, aud do your best to im
itate them. It is noble to be an imi
tator of that which is good aud beauti
ful. Above all, if you wish to be at
home hi society, fill your brains with
ideas. Set yuur mind to work. Wake
it out? f the slugishness it would natur
ally sink into. Take the newspapers
and read them throughly. Knowl
edge is power in more senses than one.
If you go into society with something
in your mind worth talking about,
you will not fail to find listeners who
will treat you with respect, and were
yoj are well received, you will not fail
very soon to find yourself at ease.

The London Athnceum tells the fol
lowing story i "Mr. Brown, let us
call him tiie proprietor of, shall we
say, The Kitchen Stunner, was dissatis
fied with his novelist, Mr. Jones, and
told him so. Jones was then half way
through a romance which appeared in
weekly driblets; but Brown gave him
notice to quit at once, and added that
he had engaged Mr. Robinson to go on
with and complete the story. Jones
accepted the warning, bui remarked
that, as he had sufficient manuscript
! copy to supply the -chapters for the
I next number, they had to be "set up,'
after which Mr. Robinson might take
\ up the thread of the story, and get to
| the end of it. Brown consented, and
| went down to his suburban retreat,
whither was forwarded to him the
next Dumber of the Stunner, with
Jones' chapters from which Robinson
was to continue the narrative. If
Brown possesses true critical faculty,
he must have admired tfip inventive
power of the old bird writer, and have
doubted whether Robinson would be
equal to the present emergency. In
short, Jones having collected every
living personage and animal he had
; named in the novel, put them all on
board a ship bound for America, and
' sent the whole of them, ship, freight
' and passengers, down to the very bot
tom of the Atlantic, never to be
brought up again. The words, 'To
be continued, at the close ul the chap

qualified to accept, and accordingly
the story remains somewhere unflnbh

A resj>ectable man of the county of
Montgomery, resided on the banks of
the Hudson river. One day he went
to a bay on the river to shoot ducks or
wild geese. When he came to the riv
er he saw six geese beyond shot. He
determined to wait for them to ap
poach the shore. While sitting there
he saw a fox come down to the shore,
stand some time aud observe the
geese. At length he turned and went
into the woods, and came out with a
bunch of moss in his mouth. He then
entered the water very silently, sank
himself, and then keeping the moss a
bove water—himself concealed- he
floated among the geese. Suddenly
one of them was drawn under the wa
ter, and the fox soon appeared on the
shore with the goose on his back. He
ascended the bank, and found a hole
made by the tearing up of a tree. This
hole he cleared, placed in the goose,
and covered it with great care, strew
i:g leaves over it. The fox then left;
and while he was away the hunter un
buried the goose and closed the bole,
and then resolved to await the issue.~
In about an hour the fox returned with
another fox in company. They went
directly to the place where the goose
had been buried, and threw out the
earth. The goose could not be found.
They stood regarding each other for
some time, when suddenly the second
fox attacked the other furiously, as if
offended by the trick of his friend.

You enter a German house without
knocking, through a door which rings
a beli and thus announces the ingress
or egress of some one. At the foot
of the staircase you find a bell-handle,
by ringing at which you call u servant
who conducts you to a parlor or recep
tion room on the next floor, which
you enter by knocks. You will find
the parlor and the best rooms in the
house adorned with beautiful pictures
on the walls, and elegant lace curtains
at the windows, bnt probably without
any carpet. The floor, however, is
tesselated with beautiful patterns in
various colors, and varnished, or at
least it is scoured till it is as whi;e as
the driven snow. The amount of fine
white linen which a German hoase
keeper has, and which she is not reluc
tant to show her guests, is fabulous.
The Germans in this country, and in
such cities as Gottingen, keep early
hours, breakfasting at eight or earlier,
dinner at two, and usually going to
bed as early as ten. We attended a
concert of most delightful music, but
it began at five o'clock in the after
noon and closed at seven in the eve
ning. In short, the child-like virtues
of simplicity, candor, naturalness and
heartiness which have almost died out
in fashionable American society, still
exist in Germany inall their primitive
perfection.— Letter /re m Professor Ty

Hard .Sauce : One cup .sugar, two
thirds of a cup of butter; beaten until
perfectly smooth and white.
The best method of hitching a num
ber of teams, one before the other, is
to extend a lung chain or rope from the
leaders to the draught, and hitch the
other teams to this by means of short
chains.
Cbrti Fritters : Young sweet com,
|>epper, salt, nutmeg, butter hot in a
pan. (irate the corn from the cobs in
to a basin, season and drop by spoon
fuls into the pan, and fry until brown.
This is a delicious breakfast relish, but
requires a considerable time to prepare
it.
Jenny Liners Padding: Grate the
crumb of half a loaf, butter the dish
well, and lay in a thick layer of the
crumbs; pare ten or twelve apples, cut
t'lem down, and put a layer of them
and sugar; then crumbs alternately,
'intil the dish is full; put a bit of but
ter on the top, and bake it well in an
oven. An excellent and economical
pudding.
Rice Cake: Takesix eggs, with their
weight in fine sugar, and in butter al
so, and half their weight of flour of
rice, half of wheaten flour ; make the
Cike as directed for Maderia cake, but
throw in the rice after the flour; then
add the butter in the usual way, and
bake the cake about an hourand ten
minutes. Give any flavor that is lik
ed.
Veal Omelette: Three pounds of
chopped veal, two eggs beaten, one ta
blespoonful of sweet cream, one table
spoonful of salt, one tablespoonful of
ground pepper, six tablespoon fuls of
rolled crackers, one taespoonful thyme
or summer savory. Make into a long
roll, put into a dripping pan with
water enough to keep from burning.
Bake well. Some add a slice of salt
pork chopped.
Weevil. Salt is said to be a complete
preventive against the destruction of
wheat by weevil. Mix a pint of salt
with a barrel of wheat, or put the
grain in old salt barrels, and the wee
vil will not attack it. In stacking
wheat, four or five quarters of salt to
every hundred sheaves, sprinkled a
mong them, will entirely secure them
from the depredations of this Insect,
aud render the straw more valuable as
food for cattle.
Foexlfor Pigs, A Highland county
correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zette vouches for the following as the
best feed to make the biggest hog out
of a pig in twelve months : Take two
parts barley, two of corn and one of
oats. Grind them together; then
cook and feed cold. This way of feed
ing is the cheapest way to make hogs
keep fat from the time they are pigs.
Take any pig of a good improved
breed, and it can be made 111 this man
ner to gain one pound a day un:il a
year old.
Oaf mad Cracknels : Add just suffi
cient water to the oatmeal to wet it
through; let it stand ten minutes to
"set," theu knead it with a little flour,
and roll out, with a well-floured pin
an d hoard, to the thickness of a wheat
kernel, cut with a knife, or small bis
cuit-cutter, and bake in a quick oveu
teu minutes, or until they will crack
between the thumb and fingers. l>o
not let them brown. Good with soup
or alone—less trouble to make than
crackers.
Potato Pudding: Cook in water
two quarts and a half of flue potatoes
and mash them through a fine colan
der. Mix them theu with a quarter
pound of melted butter and the same
quantity of powdered sugar. When
the mixture is thorough, add six eggs,
beaten as if for an omelette, a glass of
brandy and a pound of Zante currants.
Mix again, turn the whole Into a
cioth, tie it that the pudding may not
escape. Put it to cook in boiling wr
ter, boil for a quarter of an hour, take
it out of the cloth. Set it on a dish,
and serve it bathed in sauce made of a
glass of wine, in which sugar and
melted butter have been mingled.
Close Grazing. If close grazing is In
jurious, how is it that in pastures
which have not been plowed for years
there are patches where cattle ar.d
sheep have kept the grass at all times
very short, which always have a much
thicker set of grass than where it has
been left long? Why Is It that when
the stock is taken away the gra-s grows
up in these places, so closely eaten
down, in such a thick mass of while
clover and other fine ftbered gra-s; a'd
if mown for hay, why is this always of
the best quantity, and, though not so
long and eoarsa, yet heavier in weigh ?
Moreover, why should there lie gras>
0:1 the roadsides and on waste places
near villages, where the surface has
not had the sod taken off, which, be
ing grazed close by all manner of ani
mals, shows a much better free
than farmer's pastures?
Wheat for Feed. At the present
price of the lower grades of wheat (un
sound)—about one dollar and ten cents
per sixty pounds—it is the cheapest
feed in the market. It is estimated to
l>e worth one-fifth more than eora,
which is worth one dollar per bushel
or more, for fifty-six pound. Thi9
gives the advantage of ten cents in
price ar.d four pounds, or eight cents
in weight. For working animals,
milch cows, growing young stock,
swiue and poultry, it is a: excellent
food, and seems to have the superior
ity for them over the other grains
that it hss for man. It should
bo thoroughly soaked or ground, and
in either case its value would be in
creased by cooking. A half barrel of
ladling water, with a bushels of wheat
meal stirred into It, and then kept over
night, will cook itself into a most sav
ory kiud and excellent mess for faU
