BY CHARLES J. CHATFIELD.
"A most unpoetic theme, 'promis
ing little save steam, and a combina
tion of Mondayish odors;" say you oh
faithful reader, who, having; consci
entiously paid your subscription and
tiled your, receipt, seek to glean
from these pages instruction and
and amusement? •
Didst ever pass on the windward
side of a pearl oyster, just ready for
the knife of the seeker for hid treas
ures?
No!
Then you may fail to appreciate
the fact that your hasty decision is
by no means based upon a= logical
course of reasoning.
Carrie Allen would have, agreed
with you, though, as, on a sultry
morning in July, she toiled over a
wash board under a great apple tree
in the hack yard. Her plump arms
suffered little by contrast with the
soapy foam which'she so vigorously
conjured up, until it rose nearly to a
level with the top of her tub, and the
clearness of her complexion proved
that she had been reared in a tinnily
where the pork-barrel was not the
Alpha and Omega of dietetics.
Patent eldthes washers and wring

it etinlititits fellows, 'vas stir
priseetto find 'a stranger regarding
her movements.
His step, upon the Velvet turf of
the old farm-yard, had been so light
as to render her unconscious of h is ap
proaeh, and her color hightened as,
removing his broad-brimmed straw
hat, he said :
"I beg your pardon, Miss, I am in
search of a trout stream, which I was
told at the station lay somewhOvin
this direction ; may I trouble . Ytu
for some information in regard to
it.?"
"The little stream among the hazels
yonder must be the one, I think;"
replied she in a courteous tone,glanc
inv toward a belt of dark green, that
skirted the further side of the mead
ow, behind the farm buildinxi: "my
brother sometimes fishes in it furth
er tip the glen; trout seldom come
down as far AS t h is. ,'
"A college chum of miue used to
live somewhere in this neighbor
hood," he remarked apparently less
anxious to pursue his piscatorial ad
venture than to continue the conver
sation ; "I should be glad if yen
could tell me whether Harvey Allen
is about home."
" He is sir." said she, i3llliiing
''Harvey Allen is my brother. He
is at work somewhere about the
farm."
"Johnnie, Johnnie!" she called to
a little fellow, who was approaching
from the direction of the barn, with
a half rimleAs palmleaf filled to over
flowing with eggs, "where are they
working this forenoon ?"
" Crad lin' up on the hill lot." an
swered the youngster, seratehting the
turf with the toes of one hare foot,
while poised upon the other, he
viewed the elegant tishing-rod of the
stranger with Open-mouthed admira
tion.
"1:9 up and tell Harvey that a
gentleman wishes to see him." John
moved at a slow pace toward the
house, casting every now and then a
glance at that wonderful fishing-rod.
Hurrying hack as soon as he had
emptied his hat, he beg,an: " Now,
xis, pa is awful busy, and I can show
the man where he can catch more
fish than Harvey can ; I know where
there is some r'eg'lar busters."
The stranger laughed.
Carrie blushed nt Johnnie'm ill
timed remark, and bad him go for
hN brother at once.
Seeing that she was in earnest, he
started off at a hrkk pace, not, even
looking back until he reached the
first fence. •
"If you will step into the house.
sir, my brother will he here very
scon," said she.un pinning her sleeves,
and rolling - them down as she spoke.
"With your permission, then, I
will wait for him here," he replied,
seating himself upon the tongue of a
wagon drawn in front of the corn
crib."
"Pray do not let me disturb you in
the least."
"Then I will go on with my wash
ing, and take you at your word," was
her pleasant rejoinder, as she turned
to her tub and resumed her task.
• Ueorize Merrill watched and won
der Pd.
Here was a simple country girl, as
much at her ease, beside a wash tub
in her fat her'syard, as though he had
been a thousand milesdistant, instead
of noting every turn of her nimble
fingers. To he sure she was Allen's
sister, and Allen had plenty of good
sense and genuine manliness about
him ; but then the young women
whom he had known had not the
strength, even if they had been in
clined, to rush a washing in that fash
ion. What would either of his three
butterfly sisters say, to such a tax
upon her vitality, supposing, her
pride would permit her to attempt It?
lie had heard his mother boast of
such feats performed in girlhood, be
fore her removal to the city and her
marriage to the rising young lawyer,
hut had always regarded them as
somewhat apoiTyphal. How neat,
looking this maiden was. too, with
the large apron. over her pretty cali
co, and her close-fitti ng button boots.
His revery was interrupted by the
cherry voice of his friend.
"Well, well, old boy ; what lucky
wind blew you in this direction?"
"Hardly lucky, though, either.
since it stranded you in the back
yard.
"Puss, why didn't ui show my
friend into the house" Suppose you
hardly need an introduction by this
time. Georee - permit me to present
my sister, Miss Allen; Mr. Merrill,
Carrie."
The young people bowed and Mer
rill said:
I must hastenoto acquit Miss Allen
of any imputation of neglect. I peti
tioned to he allowed to remain 'here
as I am partial to outdoor air.
'•I CXpec•tfvi flu sooner, or I should
have warned Mr. Merrill that he
would find it pleasanter in the libra
ry," Carrie added
"Johnnie found me fighting yellow
jackets, and I was loathe to. leave
them unsubdued, as we had mbbed
neighbor Barton's wife of a boiler of
hot suds expressly for a vigorous at
tack, and the men were a little shy
of cradling into the fence corner un
til I had
,wet down the squatters.
Fire wouldn't answer as the nest was
on the lower rail, and the grass would
have been almost sure to catch. -
"But come into the house, George,
and, after dinner, I'll show you as
pretty a place to throw a fly as there
is in the State."
"Sit doWit while I lay off my de
nims," said Harvey, ItS he led his
guest into a cozy little sitting-room.
"I'll be back in less than seven
minutes, se make yourself easy,"
cried the merry fellow as he ran up
stairs.
Seating himself hy the open

the return of his friend, loOked about
him.

hot days, when he is one of the best

ahead of my calculations.
"I don't know though, either, as tie
stands lunch in need of my commis
eration' with that wide-awake sister
of his foetroin pony. Let's see; here's
a piano there's a sewing machine;
that guitar must be her s, too, and

Allen:don't paint," soliloquized he,
stepping quietly Into the tray window
to get a better view.
Looking out, he saw that the sketch
represented the meadows and hill be-I
fore him with great fidelity.
"Do all these things, and big wash- I

had tOld me I wouldn't have believ

wonder if she always expects to li

himself.
"Allen told ine that his sister was .

mother died , now she. is. paying for
her education by keeping house for
her father, like a dutiful child ; and
household help being so uncertain,
she helps herself, with the assistance

Soon the heir apparent comedown,
humming, softly a snatch from the
last opera. Taking a chair, he in
quired :
"How did you happen to find us
out, Merrill? I had no idea of your
being so far from the gay world at
this season ; supposed you were at
I Saratoga, or were off for a trip to the
Thousand isles, with a lot of other
fellows who had the summer to kill
1 aristocratically."
•'Not I, indeed. Then you hadn't
heard that I had quieted into a sober
young M. D., and then admitted to
partnership with old lir. Selwyn,
with n fair prospect of succeeding to
his practice one of these fine morn
ings ?"
" Not a word of it. Permit me to
oiler congratulations upon your lucky
escape from the ranks of the do-noth
ing brigade, which generally recruits
among you chaps who have a heavy
bank account under your lee."
"Thank you, old fellow, and in re
turn let me ask what you are devot
-1 ing your surplus energies to. Ex
pected to hear of you as settled in a
drug-store in a thriving Western
town, or as superintendent of some
chemical works nearer home.
" I am intending to enter upon the
latter in the spring."
" Indeed, where do you propose lo
cating ?"
"Fiere."
"I-hire! why I didn't suppose there
was an opening for that sort of thing
within fifty wiles of this neighbor
hood." •
" There is,' though ; I propose to
engtige in the manufacture of grass,

" You don't mean to sav that you
will torn farmer?"
" Ni,, not turn farmer, for I have
been one from boyhood, but my fath
er is getting old and I mean to rent

him in the chimnerkorner for the

"All right, I'll gi4 in; but whyex
pend such a sum on your education
if it'sall to he buried in the earth?"
"The most fitting place for it. I
bury it that it may grow, and if I
bring this farm up to a high standard
and introduce improved stock . and
labor-saving machinery, it will he
money well spent, not only for me
ny an individual, but for every mem
ber of the community in which I
was reared."
"Why, you area regular enthusiast,
Allen; you, whom we used to con
sider so calm and unmoved, as you
worked among us in the labratory."
"it's enough to make any one en
thusiastic to see the future that is be
fore the agriculturalists of this Zroun
try, if they will but reach forth and
grasp it," replied Allen, his clear eye
kindling as he spoke.
"Such an twiny of non-producers

village, and 'wars and rumors of
wars' in Europe, enough to insure a
r' ally market for all the breadstuffs
which we can spare."
"Dinner is ready, Harvey," said a
pleasant voice in the doorway, be
hind Merrill.
He turned and saw Carrie, in a
freqh white muslin, with a rosebud
at her throat, and two or three twis
ted carelessly among the braids o
her dark brown hair:
She presided at the table with a
gi - ace which charmed the fastidious
young physician, even more than her
self-possion over the wash-tuh,
and, the meal finished, he seemed in
no hurry to pursue the sport which
he had 'left his duties in the city to
enjoy.
"Good-by, George." said Harvey

and the interest thereon at six per
cent. computed annually, would in
twelve years amount to more than

the West.
Five cents I efore breakfast and
dinner and supper—you'd hardly
miss it, yet. it is fifteen cents a day— I
$1 05 per week. Enough to buy a
small library of books. Invest this
as before, and in twenty ye...rs you
have over $3,000. Quite- enough to
buy a good house and lot.
Ten cents each morning—hardly
worth a second thought, yet with it
you can buy a paper of pins or a
spool of thread. Seventy cents a
week—it would buy several yards of
muslin. $37 50 in one year—deposit
this amount as before, and you have
$2,340 in twenty years—quite a snug
little fortune. Ten cents before break

PERSONA IL SKETCHES.
The • President and Vice President,
Senators, ha.—Their Habits and
Peculiarities.
The Washington correspondent of
the Herald of Health writes In the
April number of that lively maga
zine:
THE PRESIDENT
Every body knows that he is a
smoker, and a tremendous one, too.
He told that while he was in the field
he smoked literally all the time, but
that in civil life, confined to the
house as he is many hoUrs in the day,
he has been obliged to reduce the
number of cigars he allows himself.
Especially in walking does he smoke.
Tie takes his solitary walks regularly
every day, and graduates the length
f the walk to the length of the cigar.
'hen John Quincy` Adamswas
secretary of the State and President,
lie set an example of care for health,
with reference to bathing. Every
morning early during the summer
months, he took his plunge into the,
Potomac. In that form of hydro
phatic zeal, the present occupant of
the White House certainly does not
imitate Mr. Adams. E The) . Execu
tive Mansion enables him 'to make
his ablutions in a more private and a
more agreeable manner than by a
swim in the great river.
But President Grant has another
habit which is very wholeiorne, both
for body and mind—he belleveS in

into contact with the minds of the

sions which an incemnt stay In
Washirwton is sure to breed. Above
ail, it gives to mind and oody the re
laxation which both need from the
torturing strain of Executive dutiail.
It is hard to find fault, even in the
mildest lashion, with a man like
MR. COLFAX
His sudden and alarming illness last
year led to pretty wide discussion of
his health habits. Some very ridic
ulous and false things were published
on the subject.
Mr. Colfax has always been a very
healthy twin. He believes in health.
He has tried to take care of his
health. lie is a jolly and eloquent
advocate of the sanitarian value of
constant cheerfulness, of resistance to
bother and worry, of the avoidance
of personal quarrels, of moderation
In ambition, of living at peace with
God and tnano Moreover, he takes all
the exercise tie ran get in rapid walk
ing about Washltlg,ton ; he is very
temperate in eating ; and all his life
he has wholly abstained from intox
icating drink
At a great dinner party here a few
years ago, where were illustrious
American and foreign statesmen, he
declined to take wine. A noted Sen
ator, himself a little heated. exclaim
ed across the table, half jestingly,
"Colfax dares not drink !"
"You are right," said Mr, Colfax,
seriously, I dare no !" That simple
answer, given with gen and earn
est solemnity, was itself‘a re -
sive temperance lecture.
CIL& ItLF-S S I "31N Elt
is a prodigy of physic a l endurance.
I have it from his own lips that for
many years, indeed, for nearly his
whole life he has worked fourteen
hours a day. He has never been a
smoker. He lives "generously,"
and, in a very temperate fashion is a
wine drinker. In his younger days
he was a famous pedestrian, striking
off for his dozen miles without the
least difficulty. Hp has given all
that tip. ,He literally takes no exer
cise. Living so heartily, workingso
laboriously, shut up to his pen and
his books for so many hours, it is as
tonishing that he keeps so well. But
he is a man who will go suddenly
when he does go.
SENATOR
is another interesting figure in the
Senate. What are his health habits?
A glance shows you a noble physic
al endowment. He has a muscular,
active,vital frame; all his movements
are quick and vigorous, and, with
proper care, he ought to have length
of days and great honor. As to drink
ing and smoking, he is a thorough
German—if we may say that ( k-r
-many has any monopoly of those
graces. I mean, espacially, that he
has a German's faith in beer, and a
fiertnan's ability to flash intellectual
light from the midst of the den se
clouds of tobacco smoke. His great
est peril lio3 in excess of work.—
Such a hrain as his can not lie idle;
nay, it is a despotic member, domi
nating the whole man, and tramp
ling on the gospel of rest and sleep.
Senater Schurz works very late at
night—even till one and two o'clock.
For exercise, he has a fine plan. Ile
has taken a house about two miles
from the Capitol, and resolutely
walks the whole distance, both go
ing and coming.
MR. BOUT W ELT.
is a man of medium size. of wiry
frame, selfposse..sed, anti temperate
to all thing's. lie takes good care of
himself—especially depending i)n
billiards for exercise. For that game
he has a passion, and amid the etick
of ivory halls he ease; his mind of
the eares of the State.

WY" A brief letter from Dorchester,
.111ass.,-tel Is the following :
There•are in this town two twin
brothers, whose resemblance to each
other is so strung that strangers can
hardly tell them apart. They keep
a grocery and provision `store,' and
were one day bringing in bags of
meal from a wagon which was out of
sight frotn;inside the store. Nathan
had his coat on, but Eli was in his
shirt-sleeves. A stranger in the shop
watched them coming in and going
out one after the other, but only one
was visable at a time, and at last he
exclaimed to Eli.
'Well, you're the smartest man I
ever saw; but why do you keep put
ting on and taking off your coat ?'.
These brothers and several other
men were in the habit of vetting up
very early and going to swim in the
Reservoir Pond,' and once Eli going,
as was his wont, to Nathan's house
to call him, by tapping on the pane,
saw his own face reflected from /the
glass, and, taking it for his brother,
(Idled out.

(Black Rock) a large city in Mexico
on the Rio Grande, is not a half a
mile from our garrision, merely di
vided by the river. The city is held
by about four hundred regular troops

deserters from our army and about

A Sporting Joke.
Gordon Camming's new book of
hunting ad-ventures contains this
story: "I remember a joke played off
on a man whose deeds in the saddle
were not supposed to lose aught of
their importance by his own descrip
tion of them. Some youngsters of
the cantonment having purchased .i.
Xilla;,•e pig, had been in the habit ..,-
sending it out for a mile or two In a
cart, and hunting it home with long
bamboos. By th is course of training,
the piggy acquired wind and some
degree of speed. At tenth, on a day
appointed, nu was taken-out and se- •
cured by the leg in the covet. The
usual party, with the addition of the
mighty hunter, were at-tsembled zit
the mess table, when a native ~a, i me
up and reported a fine hoar marked
down. !lorst and spears were called
for, and with the guide in advance,
all prockledecl to the junglea":fide.—
NiMrod announced his intention of
refraining from all active part in the
proceedings, on the ground that it
would he unfair for an old and ex
perienced hunter like/himself to take
the spear from a lot of yonng fellows
to whom the sport was new. It'
was, however. assured that with.ait
his valuable aid the game would

Indian Idol% in lowa.
The Dubuipw„ Ttrii . "4 Says that at
the base of what is known As rapito
la Bluff, seven miles troll lAnsing,
there is :1,11, Indian Idol manufactured
Out Of the solid rock., which , has stood
-there, no one knows for how many
centuries, but which must soon Ise
removed to make room for the 00111-
ing railroad. At a little disitanco
the idol resembles a huge bear repo
sing upon its haunches. The string.,
and uncouth object is still held in the
utmost veneration by all Indians,
and the various bandS, as they pass
up and down the river, invariably
stop and endeavor to propttiate the
idol with liberal presents of tobacco,
strings of gaudy-colored beads,pieces
of dry buffalo tongue, etc. Thero
it 'sits, at the base of the Bluff, mute
and solemn, looking out with ex
pressionless eyes over the bosom of
the mighty river that murmurs at
its feet, never mourning, never speak
ing, like another sphynx. Thu
ground whereon the throne of the
idol reposes is wanted for the road
bed, and the silent, expressionless
god', - Ivhose brow has been bathed in
the morning sunlight of so many
centuries, must fall. But a short
distance from this is a smaller idol,
which had evidently been placed on
the side of the bluff, but by some
convulsion of nature was overturned
centuries ago and pitched into the
river. During high-water It is com
pletely covered, but in low-water
