Farm, Garden and Household. Tatar nr l orn f'oilrtrr. Dr. Nioholls, in Journal of Chnnh try, RUTS • " The opinion we have al ways held upon the attention of the value <♦ green corn fodder for milch eow* has been that when raised for broad east sowing it is nearly worthless, but when nown in hilla or in drills, and cultivated, with aeeess of air and sun- j light, it is of high value. Dnring the present seaaon we have made some ex periments to teat the eorreetnoss of these views. Stalks wore collected f rom a tleld where the seed was sown broadcast, and also stalks growing in drills upon the same field, and they were dried in a drying closet to expel the moisture. Both specimen# wore planted,, at the same time {the 6th of Jhj), ami it was found that the broad- | oast sowing contained 92 percent, of water, those from drills ,&1 per eeut. of water. Thus it was shown thst the dif ference of solid matter in the two was relatively as 8 to 17 per cent. The solid matter was composed of starch, gum, sugar, and wooaj fibre. There waa al most au entire absence of sugar and gum in the stalks from the broadcast Mowing, while the stalks that had grown ' under the influence of light and air held these nutrient principles, in eon sidersble quantities. The stalks were ■vdleoted at the period of growtli j rat Wfore the ear begius U> form, a period when most fsrmers begin to cut the fodder for their cows. Our experiments upon corn fodder hare afforded us im portant information npou other points. We And that the stalks cnt before they reach a certain stage of growth are defi cient in nutrient matter, and therefore it ia a waste to feed thein too earl v. j The corn plant, like all other vegetable structures, has but one object or aim in its growth, and that is to produce seed. \ It is engaged during its whole life in ' storing up large quantities of starch, ' which is to lie used when the pressing occasion arives, or the seed vessels ma ture, to form by some subtle, mysteri ous changes the rich nutrient principles which are found in seeds. As soon as this struggle is over, thecoro plant, like nil annuals, dies a natural death. It ia not necessary for frost to strike it; it dies from simple exhaustion. Tho proper time to cnt and feed corn-stalks is during the four or five weeks which succeed inflorescence, or in other words, thev should not be cut until the flower '■ is fairly developed, and the ear com mences to form ; and any corn that is so planted that the ear cannot fortn and mature, is practically worthless as fod- der. Farmers may learn from these la ts that corn designed to bo cut for lodder should be planted at two or three periods during the season ; some tie his quiet early, others somewhat later i-nd still others as late as is safe. In this wav, when the hoi, dry mouths of duly and August are reached, and the i>agtures falter, a supply of fodder is -eoured at a proper stage of growth to ijffurd the largest amount of nutriment. Krrrilnc Urmia to Para Stock. Grain feed to fowls is received in the "crop" or first stomach, where, mingled with small pebbles, it is soaked and ground, then paases into the second stomach and intestines, snd is thor oughly digested. No grain ever passes through the body of a healthy domestic fowl in a whole, uigronnd condition ; end, therefore, it is safe to say that no great gain can be made in grinding or cooking grain for poultry. Bat we know from experience that eats, corn, Ac., will pass nearly a hun dred feet to the small stomach and in testines of the horse and be found in the manure as whole grain. Hen<* t ireful fanners will not feed oaks while their teams are preparing fields for barley, and qnack, daisy and other seeds lire sown by horse manure over c-iean "ields and farms. This whole grain can be soaked and softened, or finely ground, :tnd part of it will be absorbed as it passes along tho intestines, leaving lit tle but refuse matter in the manure. But it seems reasonable that the grain red to a horse at one meai, and moving through the intestines measurably by itself, preceded and followed by masses •>f hay, on which only a small portion of the absorbents of chyle can act at once, will be of less benefit than if mixed with the whole mass of hay, so that in all 'tortious of the bowels where hay is there ia also rich grain food to be ab i orbed and carried into the blood. Tbe assertion is probably true that two thirds of the meal mixed with cnt and moistened hay is better than the whole Jed separately and nnground. But with nil ruminants or end chewing animals this separate feeding of grain or meal ia l>eculiarly unfortunate. Hou.rholil Recipe*.

When to Cat Timber. I cut down about half an sere of small growth of young timber, mostly hickory, from five to fourteen inches in diame ter. It lay in she tree as it fell till the following winter, and spring, when I trimmed it up and chopped it into stove wood, and put it in the wood-house. In the winter of 1871 and 1872 I burned it for common fire-wood, and have not discovered any worm-eating or powder post as is common lor wood in such cir cumstances. I saved a few butts for uxe-handles. 1 I split one of them the other day, aod found it a* withy aud free from worm-eating as the day it was cut. A Ball in India. There is a tale told that once at an up-country station in India a ball was given by the Ebglish troops. At the last moment lady after lady sent an ex cuse. Whooping-cough, measles, or what not, kept them at home, watching over their little darlings. One —the only one in the place—however, went To her horror, she fonnd that she was the only lady in the room. There were nearly a hundred gentlemen present, and these were crowding round, asking for the pleasure of the first dance. It was too much for her. She had only lately arrived from England. Gazing wildly about her, she burst into a flood of tears, and had to be removed. frikminhip i\ IBAI I.IFK. Mr. J. M. Francis, U. 8. Minister i Athens, Grooe#, writes to the Tro I Tints* as follow • : A few rears since there lived in Hi lck, n village on the llosphorua som i six miles shove Constantinople, nil e derly Greek gentleman named Tohalb Yorgaky. lie was the possessor of som property in resl estate, and n suffioiei: income n< derived from this nonroe t supply the moderate want* of himse! and his amiable wife, leaving a halaue more or less which was distributed fe charitable objects, Thoj had no chii dren. The venerable couple were ver | hsppv in each other's society: they ha few intimate associates outside, lit: anions these was a friend of ours, a eminent American citiaen, who for som time resided near their dwelling in lb lick. One day our friend was invito to spend a st>otal evening with Mr. Yoi gaky, the latter saving that if ngre* ' able, he would on this occasion relat ! some fact* of his family history wbic might possibly prove interesting s constituting a strange chapter of re life at the I'.aat. Our friend prompt! accepted the invitatiou, as any liv Yankee would have done under thi stimulus to curiosity. The old gentlr man's statement—and our frieud vouch safevl for Yorgukv's character for truth j fulness, after an intimate acqnaiutanc with him fcr many years—was subs tan tially as follows : My father's name was Yohanuis Giro* His father carried on the bakery buai nesa. At quite au early age Yohanm was employed as bread-seller at hi father's stall near the Egyptian baa an at Htamboul. There he made the at quaintauce of a Turkish boy of abou his own age named Ibrahim, who wa employed as salesman iu his father' tolauvo sliop close by. A remarkabl. friendsliip grew up between these tw< boys. All their leisure time they stieu in each other's society. They indulge* in sports together. They talked ove plana of bnaiaews by which iu futur , j years they might not la- separated a sin : gle day. They would achieve fortune , and share their wealth together. The*. were the dav dream* of Yohanuis am: > Ibrahim, 'time *on> on. The boyi had attained the age of IT or IS years Ibrahim's father secured for his son situation as tohiboukgi ( pipe-tiearer to the Pacha of Bagdad. This was greul honor for a boy in humble circumstances. But Ibrahim did not desire the place, ' for it would take him far away from Yo hannis. Pareutal decision, how ever, was omnipotent iu the case, and go h< must. But before separating the boyi had a long conference together. "1 mast go," said Ibrahim, "but 1 shall return to Constanstinople aa a pasha, and then you will share my honors ami fortuue." The separation of Yohannii and Ibrnnim was painful. When the dual adieu was spoken, each pie* Iged the other that his friendship should re , main constant so long as life endured. Yohanuis sorrowfullv returned to hie business at the bread stall; Ibrahim ac companied his master on the long jour nev to England. Years passed by ; Tohamiis succeeded to the humble business of kia father on the decease of the latter ; he married, and was blessed, aa the poor are ao often blessed, with many children. By steady industry and strict economy, he was barely enabled to support his Urge family comfortably. His mind fre quently dwelt upon the scenes and loves of Youthful days, and the Turkish boy Ibrahim was always a centra! figure in these memories. A dozen year* prioi to this time he heard that his dear frieud of boyhood's days had died, but the memory of that friend was reverently cherished by him ; one ao dearly loved in the fervor of youth could not lw for gotten by the gonarous-hearted Yohan nis, even amid the cares and struggles of a life of toiL One afternoon, while partaking of his frugal meal, and surrounded by his lov ing family, Yohanuis was startled by the appearance of n very unwelcome visitor—the chief police officer of the Sublime Porte. The official announced to Yohanuis that he must accompany him immediately to the Porte. In those barbaric days such a summons meant condemnation and death, often without any assignable or known cause. Yohan uis and his family were terrified ; they pleaded for delay. But the officer was inexorable; Yohanuis was dragged away amid the piteous cries and plead ings of his wife and children. Arrived at the Porte, the officer conducted his prisoner through a long hall with uards stationed on either side, to the door of an apartment, where at a given signal the door opened and Yohannia was at once brought face to face with the Grand Vizier. " This is oar sublime master, the grand vizier," said the officer. Yohan uis immediately prostrated himself be ! fore tiiAt august personage, and com- I menced pleading very earnestly for his I life. " Spare me, sublime master, spare me," he ejaculated: "spare me fur the sake of my innocent and dependent wife and children, if not on acoount of my innocence of all wrong-doing. Why should Ibe brought here to lie mode the victim of the bowstring or the axe ? I have been a good and peaceful sub ject of his majesty ; I have earned bread for myself and family by honest labor; I have wronged no mau. Let mo go, and you ahall have their blessing and my prayers in return for Your mercy. If I am killed they will die, for they cannot earn bread to support life." " You cannot go back to your busi ness," said the grand vizier, calmly. "Then, sir," responded Yohannis in a more resolute tone, "the blood of an innooent man and his family you are about to murder be on your garments : the avenging power of Almighty justice pursue you, air, to the end ; your crime shall not go unpunished." "Yohannis," responded the grand vizier, " arise and answer my ques tions." " Yes, aire, raiblime master." " When a bc>y von served as bread seller for your father close bv the Egyp tian bazaar ?" " Yea, aire, imd I now keep that same sta* 1 • "lon had n. frieud named Ibrahim, who attended his father's tobacco shop very near you ?" " Ob, yes, aire ; oh, yes," answered Yoliannis, nearly overcome with emo tion. " And yon and Ibrahim, on parting, Cleelged each other to friendship for fa ; Ibrahim saying that he should re turn seme day with the honors and wealth of A pasha, and he would share with you the leneflts of his position ?" " Most truly you have s]M>ken, sub lime toaster ; but this was long sgo, and poor Ibrahim—l shall soon m<et him in a better wold ttian this—has been dead this many, manv rears." " Ibr.thino >' fl not dead,' 5 said the grand vizier" he lives and is in go.*! health ; he reniembers Yohaunis Giro* ; he never forgot the pledge made to him at the time the* parted ; and now he has the abilitv and determination to make good that pledge. Yohannis Giros," exclaimed his excellency, rising from his seat and extending his arms, "Yohannis Giros, lwhold in me your friend in boyhood, Ibrahim the tobacco seller." The two embraced and kissed each other; tears flowed freely. Yohannis was almost crazed by the mental reac tion. He sobbed anil cried like a child. The great heart of the grand vizier was filled with gladness. As soon as the emotion awakened by this exciting scene could be controlled, Ibrahim said to Yohannis : "Now you are appointed to a respon sible post; yoa will be my saroff (banker). You will at once receive your outfit of dress. When properly attired go hence with the attendants of my stafi to your home and tell the good new* to your wife aud children. The horse and equipage suitable to vonr rank are ready for you. You will at once be provided with all the means re quired to place your family in a posi tion becoming the dignity of your situation. Attend to these duties to your family first of all; close up your little business, And then report to me for dnty. Yohannis and Ibrahim are reunited; the pledge of boyhood is ful filled.

A Mjiterlaa* Noise. A correspondent recently heard a suc cession ef strange, crackling noises ont of doom at night, and had great diffi culty in finding the canse. The sound came from some fallen walnut tree leaves, and he naturally expected to find that some species of insect caused the leaves to rustle. " At the next spot where I examined, I cloaely watched the mw/m operandi, and saw the dry, bn>wn leaves gradu ally curling open, muring like little automata; one opening wonld touch another, and that m turn rolled open, with the peculiar rustling sound that had at*first attracted tor attention. But there wax noworm there. What then was the power that carried on thin general morement ? Ujatn mediating a little, the truth tlnalied upon me; it was simply that the day hail been re markably warm for an April day, and the heat of the snu had warped the leares, curling them up like a voluta ; but as the sun set, the northeast wind had blown the clouds and moisture from the Atlantic, and, coming in con tact with the dry leaves, had caused them to uncurl. Thinking that some motion would accelerate their move ment, I stamped upon the ground, and immediately the whole garden seemed alive with motion. The occurrence seems of small account, but it illus trates iu a perfectly natural way the force and effects of variations in tem perature.

It stealthily creeps within all defences, and nips at the bone without warning. Hiding along with busy thoughts, a qniet, pleasurable drowsiness takes pos session of the body, and, in mind, the fences grow indistinct, the thonglits wander, weird fancies come trooping about with fantastic forms, the memory fails, and, in a confused dream of wife and home, the soul steps out into obli aion without a pang of regret.

HUe had been introduced to linn iu a mixed company, on aoiuo semi public occasion, by an ao- Iqnaititance knowing him only slightly uiid hv name ; bis tlrst silbacqueut eafl upon iter nt her home had been without formal iuvitatiou ; and, indeed, hia for wardness in improving the uitroduetiou would have been resettled by the young lady herself but for her immediate " strong liking " aa the phrase is, for the man. lie was handsome and gentle manly; and, beyond this, had what she persisted iu regarding as a face to be implicitly trusted. Her parents—and her fnther, particularly—refused to ac cept this lstU-r characteristic iu lieu of all other ordinary guarantees of social trustworthiness ; aud, after expostulat ing \ only with her against encouraging an acquaintance with a visitor of whose origin ami uvocatiou no oue in town seemed able t give any satisfactory in formation, took renewed pains to ascer tain what mautier of person their daugh ter's auspicious admirer really was. Little by little came the discovery that he lived, in a covert way, by his wita. i A friend of the merchant a was sure that he had once secu him coming out of a gaming-house ; another, who hoarded | in the same house with him, reported ; that lie kept strange hours. Iu short, the father gathered enough information of this kiud to feel justified in assuring his daughter that her uow devoted caller was not a resjH-otable character, and de claring that he must come to the bouse uo more. The parental fault had beeu iu allowing the acquaintance to go on ! even thus far under matter of such doubt, and ita penalty was shown iu the girl's resolute refusal to belive anything against her hero. He had a face, she persisted in saving, that refuted every calumny upon Ins honor, and any one who knew the first thing about physiog nomy would say that sticb a frank, hon ■ est oounteuanoe could not belong to a bad man. l'areutal authority, refusing to be moved l>y this argument, and con tinuing its ban against the lover, the iu fatuated damsel capped the climax of her filial disolwdleiice at last by a clan destine marriage and elopement with the object of her incorrigible faith, ['hev were traced to the parsonage where the matriuiouial knot had becu tied, and from theuce had disappeared from the city. Never having anticipated such a result as this, the deserted parents were overwhelmed with grief ami fearful ap preheUKiou, and lost all heart for the iuture. The mother, who had lu-eu an invalid fur some time, died under the shock ; mid the father, at tins accumu lation of misfortunes, sank into a leth argy from which he rallied ouly to find himself a bankrupt. Thus were family and fortune both broken up iu a brief "time bv a thauklcss child's disloy alty and willfulness. Then the ruined merchant, too, disappeared from Port land with what little he could save from the wreck of his old home, aud the story travels with him to California, whether he wandered desolatelv, iu the hope of distracting his thoughts from the past, aud seeking a lonely liveli hood. Tiki old and worn to contend successfully for a new career anywhere, his business experience* on the Pacific Mile of the Coutiueut were but a aeries of feeble failures, until a day about five ara ago found him the keeper of a small candy-standon Washington street, near the old post-office, in San Francis co. Every day siuce then, aaya the /W of the latter city, which now takes up the tale, no matter how heavily the win ter rain came down, or the gusty sum mer wiuds swept down from Telegraph Hill, the old man has appeared at las humble aland and sold cheap sweets to to passing children until the occurrence of incidents now to be mentioned. Amongst bis little customers tbere came oue day, about a week ago, a bright eyed, neatly dreused lad, apparently in his ninth "or tenth year, who taught candy to hia taste and seemed greatly pleased at ita cheapness. Well he might have been, too, for the poor, old, shab by. generally crabbed rentier, bad seen that in the bovish face which impelled him to tempt the little fellow to come again. Aud never doubt that the temp tation was successful. The boy came day after day for his bargain in confec tionary, and*always hia face was studied by the old man with a strange kind of wiatfulnc*. At last there waa a coufi deuce Wtween the two, and the elder asked ami was told the youngster's name. " 1 thought 1 knew that counte nance!" exclaimed the white-haired candy-man, with a curious expression of face; and, requesting a neighboring merchant of the curb to take supervi sion of hia staml for a few momenta, he told the boy that he would accompany him to hia mother's bouse. " The youth," continued the Hon Francisco paper, " surprised, perhapk, at this no tification. but nothiug loath to oblige his old friend, led uie way to a fine manaiou on Bryant street, where a rich ly dressed, handsome lady appeared at ilia err and immediately fell sobbing upon t(io neck of Uieeaiidv-raan, calling him ' Father 1' " Thus, alter ton roars, the ex-merchant of Portland met hia uti dutiful, runaway daughter again, hav ing been led to such reunion by her sou's inheritance of hia father's face. The story to be told, with many peni tential team, by the lady was a follows : Her husband, the owner of such a me morable conntonace, was really a gamb ler when she married him, though rather through discouraging misadventure in preceding worthier calling than by vici ous natural taste. After their marriage, however, and flight to California, lie rea olntely renounced the greeu table and all its surroundings and bravely applied himself to legitimate business iu n hmnble grade. Very poor and hardly pressed at first, lie presently gained op portunity for a small investment in min ing stocks; and this succeeding, was able to establish himself on Montgomery street as a broker. Fortune favored him nt every turn, and lie is news rich, highly honored citizen of the Pacific metropolis. When their position was sufficiently assured to give them eonfl den-e the young wife wrote a very peni tent letter to her parents Maine, liegging their forgiveness of lier unfilial disre gard of their commands, aud pleading in extenuation thereof the manner in which her her husband's physiognomy lied justified her seemingly infatuated trust in it. The letter was returned to her by the Portland postmaster with a curt note announcing her mother'a denth and her father's bankruptcy and disap )>earaiice, and from that time until the meeting recorded above she suffered an agony of self-reproach which not even her father's restoration to her is likely to abate altogether. That her father never returned to his candy-stand may tie readily inferred, and that his recon ciliation with her husband includes fu ture ease and plenty for him is only ao ' oordant with the commonest justice of I human nature ; but the general story : docs not leave a wholly pleasant impres sion, snTo as the reader may be able to abstract hia mind from its imperfect moral compensation, and dwell only upon its physiognomic suggestions. Nlngnlar Cunse of Fire. A singular, but not unprecedented, cause of fire in a dwelling-house in Connecticut is thus referred to by a correspondent of the Hartford Time*: "The residence of Hon. Addison O. Mills, of Canton, narrowly escaped de struction by fire on the afternoon of Sunday, from the following curious circumstance : Several new tin milk pans were lying on a bench on the south west side of the kitchen, and the reflec tion from the sun actually caused the ceiling to take fire about five or six feet above them. The fire burned from thence up to the eaves of tha building, through the boards, and deeply charred a post of the house back of the boards, when it was discovered and extinguished. The next day, about the same time, the reflection was again noticed by the bright light, and tne pans were removed before the boards had ignited again. The boards were painted red, whi<fli may account for the ignition. . A Hold liobbcrjr. A Train Tla raw a Krom llta Traak aaS llnbbel > Ariaaatt flan. The express train on the Chicago, lhmk Island and Pacific llallroad bouud cast, was thrown from the track about 7 o'clock, nttacked and robbed, and the engineer killed. It occurred about four miles west of Adair Huiumit, Im twxcu the Mississippi aud Missouri tti va-rs, aud some sixty miles wcat of Dee Moiues. The spot selected was favor able for the deed, their being no habi tation within several miles, and none in sight, and withal it was at a sharp curve. '1 ho robbera, who ware all but una masked, had ramoved the plataa con necting one rail with those next to it, and putting a rope through Uie holes hi one end, awaited Uie coming train. When the train waa within two rods of * the place, the rope waa pulled, and the * rail was thrown across the track. Hi luultoneoualy several shots were fired in quick succession. The engineer saw the displaced rail and reversed hia en- j giue and applied the air-brakes, which waa hia last act Engine, tender, and two haggage-cara were thrown into and acroaa the ditoh, and the forward truck* of the first paaaeugnr coach were thown from the track. At ouee two of the scoundrels, oue uumoaked, attacked the express car, compelled Uie meaaenger to give up the keys by holding revolvers t their heads, and took from the safe nearly $1,7(10 and ouo aealed bag of Wells, Fargo A Co.'a, amount not kuosii. Pistols were also hold at the head of the registry clerk and Mr. ILee, AssisUut Superintendent of the road, who waa also in the car, and had hardly recovered from the ahock of the concus sion when Uie robbers entered. The engineer, John Rafferty, waa found with Ida neek broken, caused by i falling at Uie time of the crash, lie waa also wounded by a pistol shot in the thigh. At first it was supposed be was shot dead, but this proves not to 1 have been true. Dennis raby, Uie fire man, when the coucuaeion was over, found himself Iviug on the floor of the cab unhurt, witli the dead body of the engineer on top of him. Drugging the dead body on the track, he started to alarm the others on the train, but waa compelled to turn back by the robbers. Putting oat the furnace Are, he let the water out of Uie boiler, thus avoiding on explosion. No others on the train were injured, but several were fired at. The cuuJuctor, Mr. William Smith, had two bullets sent through hia clothiug. While the robbery was going ou the passenger-coaches were guarded by the remaining rubbers, ao that no aid could Ite afforded from thai source. At the first shook the jatsscugera were thrown forward, aud after the recoil many started forward to tha scene of the wreck, but were driven back by threata, mingled with oaths and occasional ' shots. The jiaaaengers, however, were ! uot otherwise maltreated, the robbers * eon fining themselves entirely to the ■ mail ami express car. Fortunately the through registered letter package from Han Francisco to Sew kork was unuoUcedby the thieves, while three and a half tons of bullion express matter were undisturbed. Aa soon as they were satisfied the tbievas ■ jumped from Uie car, mounted and rode away southward, lesa than ten minutes from the tune of the attack. Aa soon as word could be gut to Chi cago the company offered a reward of $5,000 for the discovery of the robber*. | To this the Government will ode the j highest amount allowed by law. The whole aouUiwckteru part of the Htale is aroused, and the line of Uie Burlington and Misaonrt Road is heavily guarded. Special train* wtUt armed men left Council Bluffs last evening in parallel hues to intercept Uie rohliera, and a large aounting party left Atlantic, some fifteen miles south of the disaster. Fire milea south of the spot, the trail of five horsemen has hern struck, and followed to Nodaway River, some thirty-eight miles southward. A full description of the horses, it is believed, lias been ob- ( tamed, and it ia thought Uie robbers , can hardly escape. The general opinion j ia, that tbev are a set of Missouri gner- 1 riilas, similar to fbose who robbed a hank at Corydon seme two or throe > years ago. Waste no Time. After allowing yourself propcrtime for real don't live a single hoar of jour life without doing exactly what is to bedone in it, and going straight through it from beginning to end. Work, play, stndy, whatever it ia—take hold at one* and finish it np squarely and clearly ; then to the next thing, without letting any moments drop out between. It is _ wonderful to see how many hours these S<rompt jwN'ple contrive to make of s lay; it i* aa if they nicked np the momenta that the dawdler* lost. And if ever you find yourself wber you have ao many things pressing upon you that j you hardly know how to begin, let me tell you a secret. Take hold of the very j firat'one that comes to hand, and you will find the reat all fall into file, and follow after like a company of •ell- I drilled soldiers ; and though work may 1 tie lmrd to meet when it charge* in a i squad, it is easily vanquished if you j can bring it into line. % IxaExiom."An ingenious eontrivance was introduced to get the whaling ves over the bar and into tlie harbor of Nantucket. The ratnrU, as they were called, wer# two immense caissons which were placed an eitner side of the whaler, with three great iron chains passing under ita hull. From these caissons the vrater wa* then pumped until the vessel rose aufficently out of water to escape the bottom of the bar. ' PAIN 1 FAIN I 1 FAIN !I 1 WHERE II THY RRI.IIVIR ■ Rasdara.

A little boy, ragged and dirty, eat upon the steps, ami to him our friend ad dressed a reipieet to be ahown to the room of the person we sought He jumped up and led the way. We fol lowed through a dilapidated door, up a pair of narrow, broken ataira to the garret. We thru entered a room with a ceiling ao low that the writer hereof could not stand erect. There wa* no furniture In the room—not a lied, a chair, or a table. The aick man whom we eame to visit waa etretched upon the remuauta of a mattreaa spread in a corner of the dingy room. Never did the writer witueaa aueh destitution, anch uiiaery. Our frieud addrevaed the woman, the wife of the dying man, and asked how her husband bad passed the day. Hhc replied that he had lieeu quite real h-aa all day, but had seemed to be much quieter"for a half hour or ao, and aha thought he waa then sleep ing fieacefully. We approached the corner of the roots where the sick man waa ; our friend started back and ut terod a sudden exclamation. We peered over bia abnuldear to ascertain the raus* of bia anronae. A* we gated at the prostrate form before u, the paJeneaa of Uie features, the fixed eyae, the drooping of the jaw told at ouce that the poor wretch we bad come to snecor bail passed away beyond our help, and gone to that home where " Tlia sicked raaaa from troubling, And itie waarr ara at raat." Otir eoudnctor informed the poor watching wife that her hnaband was dead. Poor woman ! Hbe took it in tech to heart, and at first refused to be com forted. But be spoke to her of the happy home, with its golden streets and beautiful houses, to wiucb the man had gone, and told her of him who came to heal the broken-hearted. Jt was all new to her, and seemed to fall upon her cars and aiuk, like music, deep into her stormful soul.
