Obtaining AVntcr.
Tiiuni: are several modes by which the
premises 01 runners and others can lio
supplied with water. Wo notice that in
undulating or rather hilly sections.to be
found in Delaware and Chester Counties,
tlio syphon has becomo popular, seems
to answer a good purpose, and has to a
great extent supplanted tho ram, and is
mucli to bo preferred to tlio rani for ele
vating water. Where, however, tho
tiislanco is considerable, and tho advau
tago of a brook is pos.-,essed, a force
pump operated by a wheel is perhaps
tlio best arrangement. Tins has been in
constant motion and use upon tho pro
mises ol Joint a. Haines, of German
town, for a period wo suppose of about
ten years, and has been kept in working
condition at a very small expense. The

FOR YOUTHFUL READERS.
I-'alry dory.
Ah Walter was travelling gayly along
Ith nothing but hope and a slxpcneo
In Ids pocket, ho eiuno on a gray old
goblin trying to make a lire; but every
(hue ho tried tlio llro went out, because
lie did not lay tho sticks close enough
together.
"Seo here," said Walter, " that is not
io way ; let mo show you." And lay
ing tlio wood together, ho had a line
roaring llro In no time.
" Good 1" said tho goblin. " Iow go
and fetch me some water from thebrook,
for my legs are old and stiff, while you
are young enough to dunce all day."
So Walter, who had a good mother,
who had always taught him that it was
the duty of young people to bo polite
and respectful to old people, went down
to the brook close by, niul brought sonu
water, with such a pleasant, smiling
face that tho old goblin was pleased,
and said to him
" I see you aro a (lno fellow, and that
you will onu day make your way lu the
world. Stay with mo to-night, and 1
will give you the best supper that you
ever tasted in your life."
Walter was willing enough to do that,
as he had only a sixpence in ids pocket
I'licn tho goblin brought out one egg, and
breaking It Into a quart of water, put It
over tho llro in a silver bowl, turned It
tliotit threo times, and lot thero was a
great platter filled with something Unit
looked as white as snow and as soft as
foam, and lasted like strawberries and
cream. Waller and the goblin ate hearti
ly, and Walter thought he had never
iten nnvlhiinrsnsood in liislite. Alter
that they both went to bed on the grass
but when Walter woko In the morning
tlio goblin was gone; a little of las
night's supper stood near him, how
over, and making a hearty breakfast on
that, ho trudged on clieerlully till ho
camo to a magnificent city, with walls
of marble and towers of gold, which
was in such a tumult that every one
coined distracted. Walter asked what
was the matter.
"You must bo Jut come -to town
voting man," said tho people. "We
havo tho be-t king In tlio world, and ho
bus been poisoned by n wicked enchant
ress, who hated him because ho was
good; and the wise men say there is
nothing can cure him except a dish made
out of an egg and a quart of brook-water
which shall be as white as snow and as
ioft as foam, and taste like strawberries
and cream; and wo aro all in despair,
because every one hero ha tried, and
there is no one who can make anything
of the sort."
" Yes, but I can," said Walter
made my supper and breakfast on that
very same dish."
So tho people took him to tho palace.
ind tlio Lord High Fiddlestick came
out and said :
" What are you shouting about tho
gates for when the king is dying
Hut nil the people answered:
" We have found a younir man who
savs that ho can make the dish that can
euro the king, and that he had his break
fast on it this niornin;
At that they took Walter to the royal
citehens, and putting on him a tall cap
and a white apron, bade him go to
work as fast as no-able. Then Walter
ordered everybody to leave the kitchen
and getting a sliver bowl, broke an e
into it, poured on a quart of brool-
water, and setting it on tlio tire, turned
it about three tunes ; but how was hodi
niavcd on seeing thero nothing but
water, with the yolk and white of
an egg swimming about in it. He
thought then that something was the
matter wltli the fire, and poked and
stirred it, and brought kindling wood
and put on the covers and took off the
envoi's; and then he fancied that tho
egg was not fresh enough, and tried nn
other and another, until he had tied
dozen. Dythis time the king's pcopl
were getting impatient, and camo knoel-
ing and pounding at tho door, cryin
out :
" Ts the dish ready yet '.' Tho king i
getting woie, and if you don't save
him wo will cut your head off; so nml
haste."
" Yes, yes," said Walter," presently ;
but his heart would havo gone down
into his shoes if it could have gotten
there, for ho began to lie afraid that he
could not make tho wonderful dish after
all. Ho took another egg, and anothe
bowl, and nnotlierquart of brook-water
and tried again, but it was all tho same
"He! ho! ho!" tittered somebody
near him ; and looking up, thero was the
old gray goblin hanging in tho chimney
by Ids heels, and watching his proceed
Ing
"You can't make It," said tho goblin
"unless you havo my silver bowl,
pulling it out of ids pocket its ho spoli
" Is that It V" said Walter; " hand
here, then, quick. Tlio king is dving,
and unless 1 save him they will cut off
my head."
" Oh," said tho goblin, " fairnudsoft
ly, if you please; what will you giv
mo If I lend you my bowl'.'"
" 1 havo nothing to give," answered
alter, "but thosixpunco I have In my
pocket."
" Well," said tho goblin, "in that case
promlso mo that when you become
prince you will receive me, no matter
how I come, as If 1 wero your father
and that you will do tlio first tiling that
I ask you to do, no matter how much
you may dislike what I say."
" I shall bo a prince," said Wnlt(
laughing, " when oaks grow out of cu
cumber-seeds ; but I am willing enougl
to promise what you ask, and to tlo
too."
At that tho goblin tossed Walter tho
bowl, and turned a somersault up the
chimney; and Io! tho bowl was brim
inlng over with something as white as
snow, soft as foam, and that tasted like
strawberries and cream.
Away ran Walter pell-mell up tho
stairs, and burst into tlio king's room
wltli tlio bowl In ids hand, Tho king';
eyes wero closed , but tho moment tho
wonderful sulntanco touched his lips ho
s.at up, uml by tho time ho had eaten the
contents of tho bowl ho could walk
about nswell as ever. On being so Won
derfully restored to life tho king kissed
Walter, and said ho should ho his son.
So Walter was every where proclaimed as
prince, and nil the people were pleas
ed, becaiHo he had a kind heart and
pleasant word for them all. Hut ni
ter quite forgot his promise to tho
goblin.
At last there came to court the most
beautiful princess that ever was seen;
and Walter fell in lovo with her, and
entertained her in a magnificent man
ner every day, till one day, Just as they
wero standing up to dance before the
whole court, there camo in an old man,
very ragged and dirty, with a great ped
lar's pack on his back, at whom Walter
had not looked twice before ho saw that
It was tlio old gray goblin. Instantly
ho remembered his promlso to receive
him as a father, and began to ho very
much ashamed at the notion of present
ing such nu old btggar as Ills father to
the king and all his splendid court ; hut
Walter's mother hail taught him nover
to break his word, and always do what
ho thought was right, no matter how
disagreeable. Accordingly ho dropped
the princess's beautiful white hand, and
going up to tho dusty, dirty old goblin,
kissed and embraced him, brought him
a golden chair to sit on, and taking the
pack from his back, carried it away
himself and laid It In a corner.
The coitrticrsstarted, and nudged each
other.
" Who is this wretched old beggar,
Prince Walter V" asked tho beautiful
princess, tossing her head scornfully
" ion must come with me now," said
the goblin to Walter, taking no notice
of vhnt was said around him. " I have
need of you."
" Hut, my father," said Walter, " I
was Just about to dance with tho prin
cess, and sho will be oil'eiided to bo left
standing on the iloor. Let me first
dance with her, and thou I will go with
you."
" No," said thegoblin, "you are bound
by your promise to do tho first thing
that I should a-k of you. Go and ex
cuse yourself to the lady, and come with
Then Walter went up to the princes
and looking sorrowfully at her, said
low, "Dear madam, do not bo angry
with me. T have promised to go with
in
as possible."
" 15ut do you imagine," returned the
princess, angrily, " that X will seo a
1 icggar preferred to mo '.' 1 f you go with
Unit man nover speak to mo again."
"Alas!" said Walter, "I must go.
for T have promised."
"No," said tho princess, "you shall
not go, unless you wi-h never to seo me
again. I will not stay here an instant
longer if you go with that man."
"Come," cried the goblin, "I havo
waited long enough."
Walter, who never dreamed of break
ing his word, turned about and left tho
princess standing on the floor; but at
that sho set up n dreadful cry. mid
spreading out two great wings, sailed
out of the window, and away over the
plains toward the sea, flapping her
wings and screaming dismally as she
went
Then said tlio goblin, "My son, that
was the wicked enchantress who so near
ly destroyed the king, and who now in
tended to destroy you in like manner,
Had you listened to her, instead of re
membering your promise, she would in
stantlv have devoured you; but now
you aro sine, as tno tune oi ner xower
past.'
With that the goblin tucked himself
up in a ball, and rolled out of tho door
so fast that nobody could follow him
Dut Walter came to tho throne after the
king's death, and was long known as
good King Walter
OltANGES IN THE AZORES
NowiiKm: aro oranges of more 1m
portance than in the Azores. The ilan
dors live upon them, both directly as
food, and indirectly as a profitable in
du-try. Just as in other parts of tin
world a man's wealth is reckoned by the
number of sheep, cattle, or horses which
lie can call his own, so here the ornng
tree forms tho unit of value. You do
not say, Such a one is worth so many
thousand dollars, but that he has a rjuin
tit containing so many trees. High and

and there aro professional valuers who

could your heart have been V" " I gues
it must have been in my mouth just
then, doctor," replied tho poor fellow,
with a faint and sickly smile.
Tm: other night at one of tho hotels
in lio-ton a couvivially-disposed gentle
man, retiring late, walked independ
ently and somewhat noi-ily up the
stairs and along the corridor to his room.
" Why, what a noi-o you make, said his
wife, who heard with some anxiety the
heavy tread of his boots ; " how heavily
you walk." " Well, my dear," w.is the
gruff response, " if you can get a barrel
of whikoy up stairs with any less noise,
I should like to see you do it."
A ci.mui y.max was endeavoring to
instruct one of his Sunday scholars, u
plough-boy, on tho nature of a miracle.
"Now, my boy," Mild he, suppose you
wero to see the sun rising in the middle
of the night, what would you call that'.'"
"The mime, pletiso sur." "No, but,"
said thodlvino, "suppose you knew that
it was not the moon, but tho sun, and
that you actually saw it riso in tho mid-
dlo of the night, what should you
think V" " Please sur, I should think it
was time to get up."
llv tho ancients cotirago was regarded
as practically tho main part of virtue ;
by us, though I hopo wo aro no less
brave, purity is so regarded now. Tho
former is evidently tho animal excel
lonee, a thing not to bo left out when
wo aro balancing tho one against the
other. Still tho following considerations
weigli more heavily with mo. Courage,
when not an in-tinct, is tho creation of
society, depending foroecnjlon of action
(which is essential to It) on outward
circumstances, and deriving much, both
ol its character and Its motives, from
popular opinion and esteem. lint purity
is inward, secret, belf-sul),erlngl harm
less, mid to crown all, thoroughly and
intimately personal. It is indeed a na
ture, rather than a vlrtuo; and like
other natures, when most perfect, is
least conscious of itself and its perfec
tion. In a word, courage, howover kin
dled, Is fanned by tho breath or ninn ;
