POETICAL
THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE.
A llttlo bird Rflt on a cherry troo limb,
And a dear llttlo maid sat and listened to liltn,
or each word of hU mng, thotwi loud nnd clear,
Vi meant for nobody Clio's car.
Sweet I Sweet 1" ho said, you'll itircly nffreo
The man tho head of tho houo should be.
'That's nil very well for a bird, you know,"
Tho maiden nnwrcra In accents lowj
Hut a woman,! think, lias a right to reign
Asa sovereign queen ot her own domain I "
sweet 1 sweet p sang tho little bird saucily,
Tho man llio head of tho liouso should be."
'Hut what It It happens," tho maiden said,
That the very ono I should chooso to wed,
Though worthy of lovo, Is too weak to rule
Many a woman n such a fool ?"
'Sweet I Sweet 1" said tho bird, cro sho mado her
plea,
'Tho man the head of tho houso should be."
Awny flew tho bird to Its cosy nest ;
Deep, deep went hU song Into tho maiden's breast,
And bho found It true, as tho bird had sung,
In the summer time, when the maid was young ;
The man tho head of tho house should bo I
Hut tho wife tho heart ot the liouso Is she."
SELECT STORY.
"MAID-OF-ALL-WORK."
Haulicl Ramsay looked very pretty,
indeed, as she came, down the narrow,
wooden staircase of thu littlu lirown
farm liouso that afternoon, dressed in a.
whito miihlin drew, strewn all over
with tiny, pink rosebuds, and a fresh
laco frill around her nock, tied with
jiink ribbon, whilo her pretty feet were
buttoned into n new pair of boots, with
high, French heels, and lier hair was
euiled in loose, glossy coils of shining
bronze.
"Eh 1'' said Granny Ilamsay, looking
up lrom nor everlasting knitting-work,
over which sho was half asleep, "goin'
to church, hey 1"
"It isn t biinuay, urandma exclaim
ed tho girl, laughing and coloring. "I
am going to tho Tower, to see Miss
Unllioun. bho has otten invited mo
there she and Miss Bell."
"Pshaw 7" said Granny Ramsay, who
was ono oi tuoso venerable people pnv-
iledgcd to speak their minds on all oc
casions, "what do the line city ladies
at the Tower want, of a farmer's daugh
ter liko vou T"
"Hut, grandma, they've invited mcl"
"It reminds me, said grandma,
wisely, "of the old story of the iron pot
and tho china pot swimming down
stream together; and they didn't no
wise suit.
Rachel said no more, but escaped in
to the shady lane, where tho maples
were beginning to turn pale yellow in
the hrst September troats.
"Grandma isalways criticising every
body," sho thought. "I know the la
dies at the Tower will bo clad to see me.
Miss Alico wants to sketch my head for
MUaine, and iuiss lieu asked mo to sing
duets with her. bho said 1 had a voice
like a lark. And perhaps Mr. Harold
son will be there. I know ho often
visits at tho house."
And Rachel smiled to herself as sho
crossed the rustic bridge and went
through the woods to tho Tower, a fan
tastic wooden cottage with a semi-circu
lar front, which was let for the summer,
the owner thereof preferring to live in
a squaro brick structure in the village.
1 ho llttlo ruIo door was open and
Rachel went in. From tho left of tho
passage-wav a door opened Into tho
kitchen, there to her infinite amazement,
sno saw JU1S9 Alico tJalhoun herscit, in
an lusthctio dress of pale sagegreen, and
roses in her hair, contemplating a pair
of decapitated fowls which lay on (ho
tame.
"Miss Alice !'' sho exclaimed.
"Is it you, Rachel !" exclaimed tho
young city lady, pouncing on her as a
drowning man pounces on tho nearest
iioatmg straw. "(J, I never was so glad
to sco anybody in all my lilol iliesc
horrid hens 1 Bridget has gone away
in a rago because I presumed to find
fault with tho coffeo this morning, and
wo have company to dinner, and I
haven't an idea how to get tho feathers
on those creatures. Hut now that you
aro here, everything will be right !
Aud she took off tho big bib-apron,
and stepped back, with a sigh ot relict.
Rachel looked perplexed. Sho had
come there, not to enact tho role of
kitchen maid, but to visit Miss Calhoun:
to sit in her drawing-room and enjoy
tho conversation of her guests, and she
did not exactly relish this summary dis
missal to tho kitchen.
"I here is no soup stock,' went on
Miss Alice, "and a B.ilad, and delicate
piece of halibut, and with tho fowls
roasted, ami a pie or pudding, or some
thing which I daro say you can make,
wo shall do very nicely, 1 in particu
larly anxious about tho dinner, because
we aro to have company. You 11 ex.
cuse mo now, becauso I have to drugs."
And away tripped Miss Alice, selfish
and smiling as ever was Queen Cleo
patra's self.
Poor Rachel 1 Sho Btood it minute in
the hot kitchen, the tears springing to
ner eyes, a pang ot disappointment at
her heart. Sho knew all about it. liar
old Haioldsou and Mr. Dallas wero to
dine there that day. aud she sho was
to be cook, waitress, maid of-nll-work
what signified it what she called her

There was no help for it, however.
Sho tied on tho bib-apron, tucked the
curls back of her ears and went to work
to prepare tho chickens for tho roasting

onmis undercurrent of gentlemen's
voices, and thou sho glanced down at
her pretty muslin dress and bows of
pink ribbon, nnd began to think that
Miss Calhoun had taken an unfair ad
vantago of her.
If she could only have, heard tho rai
itl nnd energetic colloquy which trans
pired botween llio two sisters in their
dressing-room when Alice first caino up
suiirs, sno would pernaps luvo bolter

"Good news I" Miss Calhoun hat

eieam-coinplexioned d.unsel, with pal

''Rachel Ramsay," noddod Alice
"come up hero with her best bib and

"Tho bold, mushing thing 1" said Bell,
with a disdainful gesture.
"She's a deal too pretty to bring into
the drawing-room for llaioldson and
rmuio Dallas to lllrt Willi, ' added Miss
Mice, knowinglv. "And I don't see
any way that I could have avoided it

ens and Budget's fortunate lit of temp

So thu voting ladies of tho Tower
were enjoying tho feast of reason and
thu How of soul in their cool drawing
room, with books, new-gathcrcd roses
and bluo ribboned guitars, whilo poor
Rachel Ramsay was broiling in tho
kitchen over peach tarts and Neapoli
tan creams.
Sho had not forgotten her disappoint
ment, but artist like, she had thrown
herself into her occupation n'lth en
grossing interest, and sho was stirring
her creams with a quick energetic hand
when a step crossed the threshold.
"Here are some, fresh trout, Bridget,
to surprise your mistress,'' said a clear
voice.
And to her inlile amusement, Harold
Haroldson stood before her in hishunt-
ug costume, with a fishing rod lightly
balanced on his should')!'.
I'm not Bridget," said the gill,
laughing, but still stirring on. "I'm
Rachel.'
Miss Ramsav I" ho exclaimed, lift
ing his cap. "How in tho name of all
that is wonderful came you here?"
And then, not without humor, Rach
el detailed tho manner and incidents of
her capture.
"I am the maul-ot-all-work, it you
please, she said, with courtesy.

Rachel half pleased, half frightened.
"I can volunteer, observed mo young
man. "Uive me the on and vinegar,
and you will sec what n dressing, a la

And if ever a pair of cooks spent a
delightful, unconventional sort of morn
ing in the kitchen, tuts pair did.
They laughed, they mado innocent
jokes, they behaved like two school
children.
And at last, when Rachel had run
out into tho garden to gather some
watercresses to deck the newly roasted
fowls, Mr; Haroldson heard tho voice
of Miss Bell Calhoun calling down the
stairway:
"Rachel 1 Rachel ! you mav serve
tho dinner, livery ono is here but that
tiresome Haroldson 1"
"And he's here, too," calmly respond
ed that gentleman, who was washing
his hands at tho pump.
" Whatr cried Uell, shrilly.
"The cook and butler are expected to
take their meals in the kitchen," said
Mr. Haioldsou with commendable gravi
ity. "And I've no objection whatever
to that arrangement."
Anil nothing could induce Harold
Haroldson to como up to this dining,
room. Ho and Richel together uto
their picnicing sort of a repast, and
washed tho dishes although the mat
ter somewhat lost its spico when the
Misses Calhoun and their company all
adjourned, en matse, to the kitchen,
and persisted in joining their ranks.
'nd when the purple sunset came
dreamly down over tho dark cedars
that overhung tho brawling stream, and
the gay guests had all departed, Alico
and liell Calhoun gazed dubiously at
each other.
"Was ever anything so provoking?"
said Bell.
"Ho has actually gone home with
her I" said Alico bursting into angry
tears.
"And after nil the pains wo took to
keep them apart!" said Bell.
"It was all your fault, petulantly
exclaimed Alice. "Noticing that farm

"But it was you that plumed yourself
on getting her into the kitchen,1' scold

"But how wero wo to know that it

Alice.

Atmosphere at the Table,
It is impossible to estimate properly
the iinmenso iufluenco which is exerted
upon a household by the atmosphere of
he family table. It it is true that one
does not come out of a room the same
as ho went in, the mind over after retain
ng the impress of what affected it there,
what great results must be achieved
from tho meeting three times a day in
tho meals, from tho conversation Indulg
ed in, and tho sentiments expressed
there. A neat, well-ordered table is in
itself a lesson to the children.
I havo noticed that a sensitive child
almost invariably has better manners
when dressed in Mis best, nnd have seen
with surprise the eltcct produced upon
a certain small boy of my acquaintance
by handsomely dressed ladies who are
polite to him. To thu inviting table,
where there should always bo some
thing attractive, however stmplo tho
meal may bo, most children will como
irepared to behave properly. It is real.
y worth while, and when philosophi
cally considered, is a matter of great
importance lo lay nsido ns tur as possi
bio nil thoughts of hard work done be
fore, and to bo dono after the meal, and
to nllow no vexatious questions to be
discussed nt tho tune. The
habit of
brooding over our work, and exhaust
ing ourselves by going all over it in our
minds, is ono to bo studiously avoided.
lliero is nothing that takes from ones
energy more than this, and it is a fre
quent cause of insanity

The Two Cent Postage Law,
Tho new law for the adjustment of
salaries of postmasters, taken in con-
ncetlon with the forthcoming reduction
of letter postage from three to two
cents, will nllect n material ehango in
tho pay of postmasters in all small
offices, ns well as tho amount of rev-
enuo derived from such offices by the
government. It is estimated by those
best qualitied to judge that tinder the nnd humbug generally. His prclcn
new law and upon tho present volutno sions on credulous people and his al-
of businesss the nggregatc revenue of
the post omco department from tho
salo of postago stamps of all kinds will
bo reduced one-fifth, or twenty per
cent. Upon the basis of this, it is es-
timated the nroiiortinnntn l-pri'ltils of
. 1 . 1 . 4 I
tno government and llio postmasters
respectively in tho smaller ollicea will
bo changed as follows ! In a post office
where the nnnnnl revenuo from stamps
amounts to g.r)ij, tho postmaster now
receives 30 and the government 820.
Under tho now law, for a like amount
oi business tno postmaster will receivo
p'tO and tho government nothing. Sim- I
liar proportionate changes will bo
made in tho receipts of the government
stmaslers according to tho
amount of business dono until offices
are reached which havo a gross rov
cnuu of $2o0 from stamps. In this
class of ollicea postmasters now receive
SlfiO per annum and government 100.
Under tho now law tho tormer will
receive $200 and tho latter noth
ing. Tn offices where tho rove-
iiuo exceeds that of the class last
mentioned tho government begins
to derive revenue. 1" or instance
in post oflicea where tho income
from tho salo of stamps amounts
to $100 per j ear the postmaster now
receives $240 and the govorntnentSl,-
00. Under the new law tho postmaster
will receive $272 amid the government
818. In n post ofiice with an annual
income of $G00 tho postmaster is now
paid $3-10 and tho government receives
$200. Under tliv new law tho post
master will receivo $378 and the gov
ernment $112. An ofiice with an annu
al revenuo of bSOO, under the present
law pays tho postmaster $4-10 and the
government i$3G0. Under tho now
law the same ofiice will pay tho post
master 400 and thcproAcrnmcnt &180-
In post offices where tho annual revenuo
reaches SI, 000 the pay of the postmas
ter under the present and new law is
tho same 5540 but under the
present law tho government receives
$400, while under the tho new law it
will only get $200. In oflicea which
havo an annual income of $1,200 the
new law will reduce the pay of post
masters from $G10 to $020, and the
recipts of tho government from $500
to $340. In offices with nu annual in
come of $1,000 the pay of tho post
masters will bo reduced irom sssuu to
$780, and the receipts of tho govern
ment from $800 to $500. In offices
where the pay of the postmaster is de
rived from the sale of stamps reaches
S8UO tho income lrom rent ot boxes is
usually enough to make tho compensation
of tho post master $1,000 per year, and
when it reaches that amount the ofiice
is placed in the third class. Tho post
master is then commissioned by the
president, with a specified salary, and
his pay is no longer determined by tho
amount ol stamps which he cancels.
Peter Cooper's Will.
The will of the late Peter Cooper

nually to Maria Cooper, tho wife of his
brother Edward. He directs that the
income of $10,000 be paid to Emma
Harper, wife of John Harper, aud at
her death the principal to bo divided
again to her issue. Ilia other bequests
aro as lollows : ihe interest on !jlU,

quests he divides tho residue of his es
tato between his children. Edward
Cooper and Sarah Amelia Hewitt in
ctiual shares. He anno'ints ns his ex
editors Edward Cooper and Abraham
S. Hewitt, his son in-law. The lustra
ment is dated tho 22nd of May, 1871.
In a codicil to tho will he bequeathes

llio estate ot Mr. Cooper amounts to
about $2,000,000. About $20,000 of

He Wanted Some Hard Questions.
There is an odd old fellow in Mont

addicted to potations , and when ho

Tho Fate of tin Ancient Weather irophet.
The career of Wiggins calls to mind
tho punishment which Dean Swift nnd
some of his friends inflicted upon a
weather-prophesying impostor in Queen
Anno time, known as I'artndge, the
nliimnno maker. Partridgo started in
lifu as a shoemaker ; but no soon loft
that for tho inoro profitablo and less
laborious pursuits of quack, prophet,

tho greatest particularity, giving even
the hour of the day when deaths of
famous men, great victories and do

created tho most talk ; for at eleven
o'clock on tho 29th of March, it was
predicted that Partridge, tho almanao
maker, would die. Partridge himself
stoutly denied its truth : but it was of
no use. On tho 30tli ot ilarch another
pamphlet came out giving a circum
stantial account of his death, after a
sincere repentance of his sins and a
confession of tho worthlessness of his
almanac Everybody believed ho was
dead, and Partridge was never able to
convince tho public that ho wns still
alive. It broke up his business aud in
a few years he really did die. It is a
pity that tho Dean isn't still on earth
to deal with Vennor and Wiggins. A
good dose of ridicule is probably tho
most effectual weapon which can bo
used against them, and tho Dean
was a master ol art.
Energy, Industry and Enterprise Esaen-
iiai ior (success.
That the great "West is a wido open-
ng for human energy to exercise its
various powers is not questioned.
With all its advantages, however; per
sons will not succeed even then unless
they possess tireless energy, industry
and enterprise. A person who has
never developed anv talent or ability
at home is not likely to become a spon
taneous fruit-bearing vino in tho West.
Drones are not wanted on tho virgin
soil, but active busy men.
Some people, it is true, never succeed
until they go into a strange land and
commenco woik for themselves. That
is why so many young men of tho East
aro heard lrom alter yeara ot cllort to
get away from their early homo. Wo
find this topic so well handled in an
eastern city print, that its views como
in place just hero and cannot tail to
prove interesting and profitable. In
going West thero is one class ol immi
grants that catry with them wherever
they go.if the conditions of the soil and
climate aro not averse, their own good
fortune aud that ot tho country where
they locale. That class of citizens
farmers, manufacturers, mechanics,
young men with only little capital but
a largo amount ot brains anil energy
have settled Michigan, Ohio, Illinois,
Minnesota and other Western States,
ind similar bauds of stalwart adventu
rous pioneers have, within ncent years,
been pushing their way nnd their tor
tunes in ihe agricultural regions of tho
Northwestern Territories, Montana
and Dakota. Thither tho great tide of
immigration is flowing, not only from
foreign country, but likuwiso from the
old, settled States of tho Uuion. Cen
tral Nebraska and Kansas have vast
unoccupied plains, but thu insufficiency
of tho rainfall is a seiious drawback to
agricultural pusuits, for the effors made
by fanners to till to advantage thu
soil beyond the western limit of tho
rain belt have not fairlv prospered.
But nl all points in Montana and Da
kota, north of latitude forty-two de
grees, climato nnd soil aliko are pro
pitious lo tlio labors of thehuebaiidinnn.
Hence it follows that although only
six of ten years have elapsed since the
farming lands of the great Noitltwest-
ern Territories havo been opened to in
dustrious settlers desiring free homes
there has been a steady uish of immi-
ration to those regions where tho ben-
elicieneo of nature tacilitatcs the labors
of tho farmer, nnd soil, climate and
natural irrigation combine to develop
to full bearing from twenty to fifty
bushels of choico wheat to tho acre.
