Our dear llttlo Laura Is greatly taken with a tall, thin young man, with a hooked nose and thin lips, called Stuyvcsant. It Is whispered about the hotel that he Is a very good match and has tlio veritable blood of tho old Dutch Governor In his veins. I must say that It lias a queer way In showing itself, for the young man is as palo as a Bpectre J and dressed In that white duck, with his Bunken eyes and bilious skin, is enough to frighten one. I have grown to hate him, while Laura is grAviiii to bo quite the contrary, I am Irniil. All tlie eveinni' he leans un airainst wall, never dancing nor onenine his mouth, save to givo vent to some hateful sarcastic criticism upon the scenes around him, and yet dear little Laura's eyes and, indeed all the other pretty eyes about aro erpetiially beseeching him for attention. In the daytime he is always with a long, black horse, that covers more irround with its legs while going than any animal I ever saw, V lien Laura coes out to drive behind il, and vanishes out ot sight with tho bony reature, I tremble to think how dreadful it would bo If our dear little girl BUould ever be part and parcel of this wretched mau and his beast. So I think John had better come down at once. I quite long to seo his hand some faco and hear his honest voice, and I think it is about time that John should tell lis little story to Laura, and have things settled equitably.' Mr. Archibald Steele Bmiled when he put tho letter of his wife In his waist-coat dock et, and, picking up the morning paper, scanned through his gold-rimmed spectacles the ntws of the day. Finding nothing there- n to refine the exceedingly satisfactory con dition of auairs, he put it down, smiling as only a prosperous, contented down-towu merchant can smile. Ho was one of those iappy exceptions to the ordinary rule of mortals, with whom everything went well, Ills whole appearance was an exclamation point to that effect. If he ventured a little hazardously in trade, fortune trimmed her sail to favor him. If he set his heart upon anything relating to domestic felicity, all the elements of art and nature conspired to bring t about, So when he stepped to the door of his oflice and beckoned to a young man with a strip of commercial paper in his hand and a pencil behipd his ear, with the general air of briskness and shrewdness about him that betokened a successful down-town merchant embryo, Mr. Steele smiled the third time, with the air of one who waa not afraid at all of any billious, blue-blooded obstacle that might be thrown in the path of a do niestic happiness which he firmly agreed had been arranged by an Omnipotent hand, 'Johu,' said Mr. Steele, closing the door of his private office, and looking upon hi young clerk benevolently, 'I've got an order from Mrs. Steele which I wish you would attend to.' 'Certainly, sir,' said John, 'shall I go out nnd get the articles myself?' 'Why, the fact is, John,'said themerchant enjoying his joko more and more, 'it's only one article a rather bulky one. It was ba-gained for a long time ago. I think you will have to go down with It, John.' 'Down to the seashore!' said John, getting a little hot and flustered ; 'is it a very valuH' ble parcel, sir?' 'Well, perhaps your natural modesty may depreciate its worth, John. Mrs. Steele and I think a good deal of it, and Laura, too, I nm sure does. The commodity is yourself, John. Mrs. Steele wants you to go down and take a little holiday there.' When the namo of Laura was mentioned tho youii(! man's face grew more flustered nnd hot than before. 'You nro very kind, sir,' he said, 'and Mrs. Steele is moro like an angel than a woman.' 'ltather solid and plump for that,' inter posed Mr. Steele, but liking the phrase nev ertheless. 'Hut it is a simple madness,' pursued John 'to dream of further hnppiuess than I enjoy now your affection and that of your wife my position here ; I don't dare, I can't hope for anything more. Oh, Mr. Steele, I can't tell her my story. She would turn from me with horror and aversion. She is so young, so beautiful. Let 1110 nt least enjoy the present.' 'And in the meantime some cadaverous, bilious, blue-blooded tcoundrel will carry her off from us all.' F Suddenly the door opened, and there WIN heard the rustlo of (liken drapery, A still shapelier little bead, and fresher from tho hands of the coiffeur, all unrumpled by the audacious hand of mortal, peeped In at the door, Laura was palo ; her little white hands wero clasped together, nnd her musical voice trembled.

'If there is tho slightest feeling upon her" part for for any one else, then, indeed, Mr. Steele, my case is hopeless.' The commercial paper fluttered from his hand, the pencil fell from his ear, nnd h leaned his head against the desk and trembled. 'Why, who would suppose you could be such a coward 1' said Mr. Steele, impetuous ly : 'You shall go down with me this very day.' All the woy to the seashore John's face wore tho look of one who had resolved to storm a deadly breach, but who did not hope to survive, the attempt, Kven the ocean, when it confronted them, wore a threateninglook. Upon the horizon a pile of clouds formed a background wan and gloomy, n great black mist lay In the yenlth, and a dense red vapor almost touched tlicwater. 'A very nasty sea,' said Mr. Steele. John snuffed it in, his eyes dilating, and his head high In the sea-scented air, A tramp on the hard, wet sand, and like a meteor a long black horse shot by, disap pearing In the mUt, leaving for John the memory of a charming head crowned with blonde curling hair, two kind eyes bent up on his own, and u white,wavlug hand ex tended in salutation. 'John,' said Mr. Steele, 'did you see the face of that man ? I count upon your sav ing Laura, Did you see his thin, cruel lips, aud treacherous eyes?' 'I only saw Laura, sir,' said John simp ly. Later on Mr. Archibald Steele aud his plump, pretty wife wero alone togetherln their private parlor. Her dimpled hand lay lovingly in his, and her Bbapclyead, fresh from tho hands of the coiffeur, rested reck lessly on hit shoulder. 'Was drowned V said Mr. Steele, with a qvecr combination In his voice of pity and relief. 'No, no ; how can you suppose so dreadful a thing ? Ho was rescued, but is very weak andjll, He has asked forme, and may I go? Will you not come with me, mamma? Oh, Uo j 1 beg ot you. Can't she, papa V Her blue eyes filled with tears : her llttlo feet seemed wanting to fly through the cor ridors. 'Certnlnly not,' said Mr. Steele, 'Let him i.ifii ,. wnu tin ne is aoie to come to you or me. Either the man was drowned or ho isn't, llecauso ho was imbecile enough to risk his life, that is no reason for your being the talk of the hotel.' Laura raised her eyes proudly. 'No danger of that, papa j and, besides, overy one is occupied now with the one that rescued him.' 'And what mnd-mau was that ?' said poor Mr, Steele, who could not reconcile himself to the present condition of affairs. 'I don't know a stranger, I believe. I was so interested in Mr, Stuyvesant I forgot to ask.' "liah I" said Mr. Steele, getting upon his feet and walking to tho door. "I'll go and find out all about it. Do you stay here till I return." . lieforo ho had gone far Mr. Steele heard from the excited guests several different ver sions oftho affair; but one and nil agreed that tlio rescuer could be nothing less than champion swimmer. "A regular water dog I" paid one gentle man to Mr. Steele; and as the merchant had heard this epithet but once before In his life, and that on an occasion of vital inter. est to himself, he sought out the hero of the hour, and found, to his unbounded astonish ment, it was Johu Waters himself I He was quite enveloped in the flounces and furbe' lows of pretty nnd sympathetic women, who insisted upon knowing every half second if he was sure he felt strong and well, and how in the world could ho buffet those dreadful waves in that grand, heroic way, and how did he manage to drag poor Mr. Stuyvesant in to the shore ? John, like any other hero of the hour, en joyed the adulation, but looked anxiously at Mr. Steele when he approached. 'Hum I' growled that worthy merchant, 'a pretty fellow you, to interfere with other people's plans I How do you know he wanted to be rescued ?' 'He appeared noxious that way, sirj' said John. 'He wrapped himself about me like a devil-fish. I thought one time we'd both go down together. There ought to be a school for teaching people how to be saved It's the easiest thing in the world ; the water itself is an accessory; if you manage right.' 'Oh, do tell us how, Mr. Waters, please, chorused tho pretty and sympathetic women and as John began his lesson Mr. Steele slipped away. 'Oh, papa,' began Laura, 'how is Mr. Stuyvesant ?' 'Idon'tkuow I didn't nsk,' ho replied 'I wns interestedjn the fellow that dragged him ashore. He's an old friend of ours Tho way we made his acquaintance was on such an occasion ; ho saved a lady from drowning.' 'Why, papa,' said Laura, 'he must be splendid fellow.' 'Magnificent I' said Mr. Steele. 'You see. we had traveled over considerable of th world together, your mother and I, while you were yet a baby ; and we found it rather odd ono morning to discover that having crooed the ocean aud tho Alps, loitered in the Highlands, traveled thence down the Mississippi Valley, across the American Desert to California, and back again by an other mule, your mother .bad never been up the East river as far as Morrisania. It seemed so absurd to hava neglected this home excursion, that we determined upon it at once. The msrning was wet, but we didn't mind it. Your mother looked prettier in a waterproof and rubbers, with a shovel-hat tied down under her chin, than most women would In a ball dress. She wasn't a bit afraid of rain or mud. She was a little too reckless : for, getting ashore to seo the insti tution for vagrant boys, her foot slipped off the plank, and she disappeared.' Mr. bteele stopped a minute ; his voico faltered ; the plump little band of his wife slipped into his own; he clutched It, and went on again. 'One minuto I saw her so neat and trim a little figure as ever graced -a water- proof and shovel hat, and the next she was But John was bUII surrounded by the pretty nnd sympathetic women, who had cruelly deserted the blue-blooded descendant of the old Dutch Governor. Ivlnir In hi most graceful and languid of attitudes on a neighboring lounge the descendant, not not the governor and had flocked, one and all, to the handsomo and heroic founder of the new school for teaching people tho way to ho rescued from drowning. These charming creatures Bpent so much time at the seashore, and .it was nice to bo wise. John was almost hidden In flounces and laces ; but when his eyes met Laura's ho plunged out of those costly billows with his usual ease nnd trepldity. There was some thing In Laura's eyes that he had never seen there before; n tempting languor; a bewitch ing shyness ; a bewildering splendor that fcteepetl Ins soul in a mad, Bweet hopo. Laura stopped ono moment to whisper to her mamma, and John gasped out to Mr. Steele : 'If I dared if I only dared to tell her told her myself 1' said tbemer- without home or pauper, 'I have chant. 'That I was a friends ?' 'I told the story in my own way, John.' continued .Mr. Steele, 'and I flatter myself I told it successfully. Do not Bpoil it, if you please. I have managed the past and pres ent ; do you look out for the futnrn. John.' And John did, Laura walked through the parlors that night, the envied of all the pretty and sympathetic women and brave and appreciative men that congregate there. Death of Missionaries in China. gone. 'Oone I' cried Laura. 'Gone whero ?' 'Into the water, child ; into the hungry green waves that turged up to take her away from the fondest heart in the universe ; and jf it had not not been for one of those very vagabond boys, who had been lurking there for a chance to escape from tho Island, you would have lost us both, my dear ; for I made an agonized plunge after her, though I am ashamed to say I could not swim a stroke, and should only have gone to the bottom like a plummet of lead ; but au of ficial standing by caught and held me, and cried out that Johnny Wafers had her, safe as a trivet ; aud presently that vagabond boy came up with your sweet mother on the other side of the boat, and the officer cried out, 'He's a regular water'dog, that Johnny aters r and these wero the very words a guest here used in relation to John a minute or so ago.' 'John I' cried poor bewildered Laura, 'our Johnf Mammal Was Johu the boy? And is it John, our John, that saved poor Mr. Stuyvesant ? 'The very same darling John, our John ; he Is always on hand when there is any troub le or danger.' 'Ob, mamma!' cried Laura, forgettiug all the years that had passed since the accident, and crumpling botn the eoilfeured heads in the moat reckle.i manner, 'I'a pa,' slio then said, 'we must go and find John ; I want to tell him how much I 'Yes, dear,' said Mr. Archibald Steele, and all the way through the corridor and luto the parlors of the hotel, with his plump and pretty wife on one aim and his beautiful daughter on the other, he tailed. A letter from Pekin, of June 4, 1878, annonnces the death of ltov. 1'. It. Hunt, of the American Board's North China Mission and of several missionaries connected with other societies. Mr. Hunt was seized with typhus fever on the 19th of May and dbd on 30th. He was born at Arlington, Vt,, Jan, uary 30, 181G, and, after learniug the print er's trade, want in 1830, with his wife to Madras, where he took charge of the print ing establishment of the American Board and managed it with great success for 27 years. In 18CG, on the relinquishment of tho Madras mission, he and his wife returned to the United States, and after a stay of a few mouths went to North China in 1808 as missionaries of the Board. Miss Dcdricken who had been in China for about a year un der the auspices of tbo Chuch Mission o; London, and was preparing to take charge of a girls' boarding school, died of the fever on tho 11th of May. Her death was fol lowed on the 18th by that of Miss L. A Campbell, of the American Methodist Mis sion, who had been iu China two years, and was an industrious laborer in tbegirls' boar ding school of tho Mission with which she was connected. Between these two death came that of Itev. William N. Hall, at Ti entsin. Mr. Hall was a missionary of the English MethodisU, New Connection, and died on the Hth of May, also of typhus fe. ver. On the 25lh of May Rev. J. S. Barra' dale, of the Doudon Mission at Tientsin died .of tho same disease, his wife having been carried oil" by it during the December previous. Hev. Albert Whitney, of the American Presbyterian Mission, died on th iotti oi April at buansi, where lie had gone to aid in the work of distributing alms to the famine-stricken people, The St. Paul Qlobeo! a recent date pub lishes a despatch from Kasson, Minn., giv iug an account of the forcible conveyance o an apparently sane man to tho St. Peter As ylum for the Insane. Frank Ellis became crazy about four years ago, through over work and disappointment in love. He was sent to tho asylum, and after a brief deten tion there.was dbcharged as cured. A broth er who was in debt to Prank caused th young man to be again cnmmittul to the aylum. Prank escaped, swam a river with his clothes on bis head, and walked home, There he obtained a physician's certificate of his sanity, and none of bis neighbors were ab,le to detect any sign of lack of mental bal ance. A keeper was, however, sent after th alleged lunatic, and he was taken back the asylum. While at the Ka-son railroad depot, his entreaties, stid the Globe, Btirred the hearts of all that were iu hearing. He cxpreed great dread of brutal treatment on his return. Train Kobbing. A dispatch from Atchison says that one of the boldest and most daring train robberies that ever occurred in the west took place about ono o'clock Tuesday morning about one mile below Wlntbrop Junction.opposite Atchison, As train No. -1 on the Kansas City, St. Jo. and Couucil Dlufl'a railroad, south bound, left Wiutlirop Junction, Con ductor Brown noticed four men get on the platform between the baggage car and the first coach. Not thinking anything wrong, at the usual time he left the baggage car and started to go through the traiu, The first persons he met were the four men stand ing on the platform, As he stepped on the platform, the acting leader pulled out two revolvers and holding them at him ordered him back into the baggage car, at the same time directing htm to hold up his hands. As they entered the car from the dark end, the first man they met was Griffith the bag gage man, and he was ordered to bold up his bauds while pistols were held on him. A young'fellow named t alker, who was in the baggage car, was then reached, and the same order given, Frank Baxter, express agent was sitting in the light end of the car his bills iu his lap and the express safe open beside him busy with his work. He had not noticed the scene that was being enao ted in the car, uud his first knowledge of the dan ger was a revolver thrust iu his face, and ho was ordered to hold up his hands. The leader oQho gang then stepped up to his safe, and deliberately transferred the money, about $5,100, to a sack they had with ithem. Conductor Brown was then asked if he had any money, aud 'he replied that he had not. "With their pistols In his face they then ordered him to stop the train, and having no other alternative, he pulled the bell rope, and as the train slowed up the four men backed out of the car, still cover lug tho others with their pistols, and disap peared iu the darkness. No swearing was indulged iu, aud the work was done iu less than five minutes, The traiu was filled with passengers, but none knew of the robbery until the robbers had escaped, Tho thieves were cool and collecled, show iug no signs of timidity, aud went at the work likeold, ex perienced bauds. None of them wero masked. How to I'rtierve Katoral Flower wltk Sulphnr. This process is a simple one. The only articles necessary for 'this operation are a closo box, a pan for tho sulphur.and a quan tity of stl"!: tulphur. Collect enough flowers to fill a half-peck basket, then obtain a square wooden box (one of those in which tea Is packed Is ad mirable for the purpose, being light, close and of convenient Bize); across tho top of this on the Inside of course tack two nar row strips of wood on opposite sides, upon which rest rods or strips for the hunches of flowers to hang from. Tho box must be air-tight ; but as the burning sulphur woul'd very quickly consume the oxygen of the s: contained in it, and the fire be extinguished, it is necessary to hava a hole or two bored, or a small door cut In the lower part of one Ide, which may be closed or opened at pleasure the former by means of plugs fit ted to them, the latter with a binge, or a pair of them. ' Arrange the flowers in loose clusters of from two to a dozen, according to size : two dahlias, passion flowers or callus, four half blown roses or two or three full blown, a spray or two of fuchsias or larkspur, pinks or lantanas, one or two camelias, a doz:n forget-me-nots or Hlies-of-the-valley, mlg nonette, anu bo ,on, according to size ; harp each cluster as tied upon the rods,not touch ing each other. There will be room for about four rows. In an Iron pan put a shov el partly full of clear live coals, spreading them over the bottom ; place it on the bot tom of the box, sprinkle over the whole sur face about two ounces of crushed sulphur, slide the lid into place, and rthe process Is well commenced, The opening, whether a hole or little door, is kept open for a few minutes, until, glancing in, you find all pro gressing favorably no flame, but abundnnc of sulphur fumes; then close up air-tlglr, throw a heavy blanket nr piece of thick carpet ovei, tucking it closely beneath the box, and leave unmolested for twenh loo hours, when, if all has 'gone well,' your flowers will appear quite perfect in form.but bleached to a dull creamy white) shade. This, upon exposing them to a pure air iu a dry place, they gradually Imp, and assume their natural tints, though not so inten-iin shadi as previous to the bleaching process. If preferred, thoy may be touched up with water-color, and nude to appear as if jut plucked. It is absolutely njcassary in this process to have the box air-tight, and to effect this we paste muslin all over the edges and cor ners, and often after closing tho lid pom a little liquid plaster of Paris around the edges. The little door mentioned is made by saw ing out a piece on one Bide of the box, fit ting it carefully, and putting two small hin ges ou the lower part, so as to allow it to full back when unhooked, for the upper edge should be furnished with a book made to fasten into the box, thus holding it snugly In place. When the sulphur is onco well ignited, the case must be kept as closely as possible, as upon this depends the success of the ope ration. The room in which the box is placed must be dry, as a damp atmosph&ie is unfa vorable to the bleaching process. I- lowers thus preserved, if tastefully ar ranged under a shade or in a recess frame, will retain their perfection of form and col or for any length of time. Harper't Iiaxar. Poetical. TIME TO ME.

The harvest has ended. Now will follow a time of comparative leisure. For the ear nest farmer there is very little or any real leisure. When he has made his crops, and and caiefully secured them; when (be feels relief fioin the pressure of work which must be performed, he is just then entering upon a time as limportant to him and to his suc cess as any time in the circling year. It is the time of cleansing. Too many farmers neglect this important part of their mission, and the consequences are decidedly bad. Their farms, which should be as clean as skillful management cau make them, are allowed to sprout and grow all kinds of weeds and obnoxious growths, to mature seed, and to exhaust the soil. Nor do they heed these destructive aggesiious until they are compelled to get ready a field for cultivation. Tlie fence cor ners become tangled 'thickets, and the fence rows hidden in the deep shadow of these ugly infait wildwoods, are wastefully left to premature decay the whole expression of such firms being bad and repulsive in the extreme. A few farmers Beem to think these wild productions ate an inevitable evil, one that must be endured because it cannot be suc cessfully remedied. They have made some effort to destroy the pest, but have seen their toil rewarded with a much more luxuriant growth only. This disheartening fact can easily be accouuted lor. The work was done at the wrong time or in the wrong way. It is almost ustless to kill weeds and bush es by a eiugle cutting In the spring or early summer. The more work doue at this season the worse for tho farmer, unless It be prepa ratory only to a work to be done in the right time. As the leaf-growth of most shrubs Is near ly perfect by the end of August, we have found, by experience, that to be tho most auspicious month for the destruction of whatever we wished to banish from our sail Hence, It became a rule for us to clean our farm'in the month of August when the ign was iu the heart, and the value of that rule, with us, is a demonstration. As tor the weeds which atlllct us, we should never suffer them to ripen their seeds, To the diligent is the mastery. liurdocks may be destroyed most any time, by cutting them a little below the sur face of the ground. Ourinethod of destroying Black Locust Is to strip the bark down to the ground, and then apply salt in liberal quantity It will not sprout again. Willows are easily killed by skinning in the month of May. A good flock of bheep will aid materially In destroying weed growths aud, properly manaued, will keen a field as cleau as a lawn, L'iautautjue Farrntr.

The stories of Tom Marshall, the Con gressional wit from Kentucky, are numerous and tome of them have been so often told that he should bo a bold man who would at tempt to retail them for a newspaper. Tom Marshull is dead, and all kind men who can appreciate his kind heart and mind hope that Christ, who died for sinners, and who will ha their judge, has found means to euro and save o worthy a creature of his hand. How ofien has Marshall, faultless in dress, calm and perfectly sohr, stood on the ' putlurui befon, hushed uud expectantati diences of the beauty, f.i-liwu aud best man hood of K'niii'dcv, n'i'l, with every nerve of ui iieuil being tuned for the supreme ef fort, his eyes flashed and Ids form towering, told how he hud been beh.re a magistrate ami ort i.iu ,u the hot) evangelists never to touch or taste intoxicating drink. I seem to see him now, pale with growing x. it. in, .m l unusual abstinence, with his hands lilted, as iu thanksgiving nnd prayer, apparently willing to die rather thau go lin k h- d r nl l ion of tlio cup, while his audieuce ivas thrilled as he shouted out Ms joy at self emanclp.itiou, and thanked Cud A-lth !to inline eves that he was fiee fiirevr from the horror of a drunk ard - Jfiu',, i, seemed to me that the poem of N I'. Willis was written expressly for Marshall, 'the victor over self as he quoted and acted it : Thtu das . the brimming cup aside Aud spill ios purple nine ; ' Taite not its madness to thy lip, Let not its curse be thiue. Tis rich and red, but grief and woe Are lu its rosy depths below. Or, aguln, iu sud emphasis : Within the goblet's crystal deeps A stinging serpent unseeu sleeps, There's not a bubble on its brim That does not carry food for him. Or, la very rage and scorn : I bate, abhor, detest the smell Of this dark beverage of hell. Sometimes for three months this ecstacsy and inspiration would lagt, and then the need of artificial stimulation for so over wrought a condition would return, and 'Tom,' 'Old Tom,' 'Poor Tom,' asmenca'led him, would be drunk again. Once Henry Bascombe, LL. D., the able and eloquent Bishop of the Methodist Church, saw him leaning against the outer walls of a Methodist chapel at night, and said, in bitter jest, not knowing him : "I Buppose you are a Methodist, from your at tachment to the building?" I lean tbat way, Bishop," said Tom, in his best Congressional manner; "(hie) give me, your arm and I'll see you as far as my door," and the Bishop did. Prof. Shanuon, since President of the Kentucky University, and now of St. Louis, once thought to reprove him as he staggered up the steps of the Harrodsburg Court House. "Ob, dear, Mr. Marshall," heTie gan, "drunk again 1" "Never miud," said Tom, "so am I," and he went in, aud holding himself by a table, made a speech that saved a man from the gallows. r Like Daniel Webster, who once soaked up a pint of brandy in a loaf of .bread and ale the bread, being retained in a case dur ing the trial of which he had promised not to driuk anything, Tom Marshall was bril liant in his cups, and only at the end of a week's "constitutional" did he ever get so oblivious of facts as to make the following story of tlie Batterton House a possibility. It has 'been told in many ways, but Mr, Tal bot, of Boyle county, who was hi friend, says that this is the true one: Tom bad gone to his room, after lecturing to a group of medical students on the vice of drinking, but soon came out partly dress ed, and called excitedly for the landlord. That large gentleman responded, and Tom said: "Ain't I responsible 'nough to have a private room ? What d'ye put that fellow in there with me for?" "It is a strictly private room, Mr. Mar shall," said niino host. " Tain't bo ; feller's in there," Tom per sisted. The laudlurd went to see, and Tom, hold ing his arm, soon bad him In the middle of the room, opposite u large and handsome mirror, "There," said Tom, "told you bo. See him yourself, don't you ? Don't tbiut I'm druuk now, do you? Two of 'em, by George I One of 'em 'nough like you to be your brother, and t'other one the druukest, sllllest-lookln' fool I ever did seel" Mar shall, when sober, Bald tbo whole thing was made up to tease him, which was not im probable, save that his tendency to shoot made jokes about bim very like torpedo warfare, 1. 1 , dangerous to the holder.
