presnioii which Mr. Bcrope had begun V curi

had made the aoquaml uice of William Jervis
on the banks of the river, and through l;im,
whom it waH a condescension on the prrtof Mr.
Bcrope to notice, of Alice herself.
Alice perhaps understood the footing on
which they stood 1 letter than her brother, and
the innate pride in her nature c-nised her to
accept it with resermtions. hhe fell the gulf
between them, and measured it by the world's
standard. Therefore, when Mr.Hcropc nmde

What Eyes Indicate.
A writer in the Baltimore Jirc is of
the opinion that black-eyed ladies are
most apt to be passionate and jealous.
Blue eyed, soulful, truthful, affectionate
mi l confiding. Gray-eyed, philosophi
cal, literary, resolute, cold hearted.
Hazel-eyed, quick tempered and fickle.
A woman is either worth a good deal or
nothing. If good for nothing, she is not
xvorlh getting jealous for; if she Ire a
true woman she will give 110 cause for
jealousy. A man is a brnte to be jenloua
of a good woman-'a fool to be jealott* of
a trir'hloMi one ; but is a double fool to

A Fish Fight, AA 11h a Moral.
Those ho have vi 1 ted the New Yak
Aquarium have probably noticed that t!.i

connected by a*two-inch pipe througli
which the water circulate*. One day re
cently by some mean* the w ire protection
which covers the mouth of the pipe fell
off, and a pickerel, ividentlv of an in
quiring turn of uiiu.l, immediately took
gdvai.Ligc of : .e cireun.staii.'c to make a
tour f inspection of t e tank icixipiivl
by about ad- '.'en cut ti *b. The scene
that followesi was anm-iug iu the ej
trcine. The Cut fish, t the sigh' of the
intruder, form* 'k th iq jer part of the
tank atnl crowded '."getlu r in one corner
at the bottom, moving nirvouslv nU>nt
a* if iu council. The picker< 1, although
considerably larger than nny of the cat
fish, showed from the flr*t by hi* beha
vior that be h id made a mistake, and in
-tea I of swimming gayiy round ami re
galing himself w :th 11 few catfish at once
showed a respeet for his little friends,
which was surprising. Nav, more; so

he apjiearcd desirous, if possible, to get

ui* little crowd of friends at the l>ttom
of the tank and, aft*r a few turns round,
boldly rose to the surface and took n
goo.l look at the pickerel, who sppearotl
not t" bg aware of hi presenci'. Tlie
cattish s H'D made himself known, for nf
ter taking another turn or two, a* if to
gather force, he made a rush and a butt
with all his force at the pickerel nnd
then retire Ito hi* corner. The effect of
the blow upon the pickerel was if he had
been electrified ; he dashed wildly iu all
direction*, except in the neighborhood
of the catfish, and at length suicided to
his original position. TliUKoudcd round
one, which was but n prelude to others
of a like character, which was a* kept up
for over nn hour, when the pickerel re
versed the position in which fish usually
swim as a signal of defeat nnd without a
struggle yielded up the ghost. Strange
ly li pickerel, although larger than the
catfish, which he could have swallowed
with ease, from first to last, made no
show of resistance, and allowed himself
to be butted to death without an effort
to resist or to punish his tormentor. The
sight of the catfish had taken nil the
bully out of the pickerel, who, however,
showed no signs of the punishment he
received, for not a scale was damaged
und a torn fine was the only token of the
lnte encounter.
MORAI,. — I,et bullies think of the fate
of the pickerel and lie careful how they
rely HJMIII a reputation for brute force,
and especially bownre bow you venture

(Jowl Dog.
A rich merchant of Paris has a hand
some country house iu the environs which
he only occupies from July to Beptem
l>er. The rest of the year the property
is under the care of Lernt, en old soldier
retired from service. About May Ist,
while Lernt was smoking his pipe before
the door, two men in blouses, carrying a
large goods box on a handbarrow, asked
his leave to deposit the box for an hour
in the garden. Lernt assented; the box
was set down liehiud the stable and the
men departed. In the evening I,erat'n
dog began to bark savagely. Lernt went
to see what was the matter and found the
dog guariiing the chest, barking and
showing his fangs significantly. Lernt
crept on tiptoe to the IH<X mid heard
movements in it. He ran at once for his
gun, got the gardener, and, returning,
opened the chest. A man in a blouse
sprang out and started to escape, but
Lernt covered hiin with his gun, and the
man, instead of evading, fell upon his
knees and begged Lerat uot to betray him;
he would confess everything. Lerat,
however, handed him over to the polio 1
who set a trap, and that night captured
his two accomplices trying t>, break into
the lionse. The goods t>ox dodge, it
: seems, has been frequently tried of late.

a cortrf/t drawing a .log sl.sl, in which
was seatosi the high priest <•{ the tribe,
and a more villainous h-'king object 1
never beheld. He was smeared with

gave him the appearance of a Chiu.se

seal-*, all alive and harking, lu the right
hand lie held a spear, which lie waved
aloft in a theati oil manner, while with
hi* left he motion.-.! t 1 tlie bride aud
groom to approach him. The whole con
courue are.*e atnl with shouts of gladness
capered around th. priest's chariot. This
be submitted I" for a spare of ten min
utes, and then, imperiously waving hi*
sjxsr, commanded silence. The gnsun
was new commanded to prostrate himself
UJK.iI the earth on his back, and tlie
bride direct.il to place her h*4 Ujsm lus
throat, which she evidently did with re
luetaiiee. While in this ]Ns,itiiin the
pri.nt instructed the gr.su 11 thatsoeh wa*
t.i lie his fate, tuslden under fistt by
men, should he ever prove untrue to his
l>light.sl troth. He was then permitted
to ri*.\ and dir.-eteil to approach the 01.l
chief, who placed a spear at his breast,
telling him it would be his tl'Ktin should
he prove untrue. He was next dir.-eted
to his father, who, producing a fishing
line, inform.il him that lie would choke
to death his offspring should ha prove
unfaithful. Then, to cap the clinuut, he
was directed to face the entire tub.', who
brandishing tln-ir spears, yell.il nt the
tr>|> of their voices vengeance 011 him in
the event of unfaithfulness. At this
jnnetnre the groom, apparently over
come with emotion, dropped on the
ground, mid bowing his head to the
earth, cried : *' I will be true," until
raised to his feet bydlie bride.
An kpiwHl.',
a laughable episode occurred
on the river bank below the iron works,
tlie other evening as the City of' Troy
was on her trip down the river, says the
Troy (N. )*.) I'n*. Sitting 011 the
beach was n pair of young lovers intent
ou nothing hut whispering their sweet
nothings to each othor. The stuamboat
drew near, but they scarce condescended
a glance toward it. Their blissful
reverie was short, however, for as the
Istat pasK.il on its way the ground swell
which followed rushing along shore
nroiis.il tli<-ni, nnd the voting lady, s.t
ing the situation at a glance, seized her
drapery and held it so that it would not
impede her flight and rushed for the
bunk, reaching it barely in time to
escape with a pair of wet fret. Not so
lucky, however, was the swain, who
perhaps thinking it undignified to
manifest any anxiety before so many
eyes (all the passengers were watching
tiiein) arose leisurely to liih feet and
moved toward a higher point. He
quickened his pace an instant later,
but too lute. The curling wave broke
round bis feet, rising nearly to his
knees, sending the snray over him,
. | wetting him thoroughly and dampening
1 his ardor effectually. The pair were
; secu an instant later wending their way
! slowly and sadly up the railroad track.

There is 110 ni*l of .'ither selling or
using rancid butter, owing fit the fact
that it may le easily rest>ml u* p*>l,
an 1 perhaps a ln-tlcr condltKUl than
that which characterized it when entirely
fresh. No tmitUr how stn-ng, pnojver
msuageineut m Uie plan we sre m-w g.s
nig to M't forth will make it all right
every lime:
Place m a clean Ivnrrel three )s>uu.ls
of fn*slx, nuslscked lime, and i">ur over
it twenty gallons of pure cold wut r.
Let it remain on©day. stirr ng occasion
ally ; then let stand ten or twelve hour*,
without stirrtiig, to give it a cluuicv to
s"tile. At the end of this time {siur or
draw off the clear liquid, und stnun
tluv>ngh three thicknesses uf fine domes
tic or muslin. Place into a clean barrel,
and it is ready for the rancid butter.
Cut the butter into thin slices—as
thiu as yon can cut it conveniently—and
phu-e it directly into the lime wat.T.
Put in as much * the water will cover,
then over it place a clean, floating lid,
and w eight down sufficiently to prevent
any butter from 1* :ng cxp"*'il t<> the
air. Keep it in this coudition alsuit
fortyH-iglit hours, stirring three tiinea S
• lav with a clean stick.
At the end of this time the butter will
have entirely lost its rancid condition,
the litnc having completely neutralized
the arid. 'Die solution should now In
drawn from the barrel? und its place sup
plied with pure col.! water, to stand 1111-
disturbv dfor six hours. Next take out
tho butter, let drain tut hour or so, then
rework and resalt exactly after the
manner of managing new butter.
'This process will leave the butter
quite white, and therefore, if for the
market, you will need to color it, which
you can dowith a preputntion of annntto,
now sold for the jmrjiosc in most drug
st< ires.
If jou desire to convert the butter re
store.l a* above into a first-clus* article,
fullv up to the best (ioslicn, yon will
take say fifty pounds of it, which you
■ will place in a revolving churn with six
gallons of new milk, and a pint of the
juice presiMil from carrots. No other than
n revolving churn w ill answer, for the
harshness of the butter will prevent the

briskly, and keep it going for half an
hour, after which take out aud handle

The Frail Trade.
I The peach trade was considered ovur

but presently improved faculties for

1 this delicious fruit prove successful, the
i o'vuers of lnrge, thrifty orchards will
1 certainly bo "b!e*il in pocket and

I European market lias been called in to
help us dispose of the surplus, and this

, did export about 250,000 bum Is of
; apples last year—why not thin year twice
B OH many ? Surely there are enough rur

our exported apples are not confined
alone to Etiglinh customers, Hussia, it
is said, t'uik 11,000 barrels of last A'ur's

Interesting to Livers of Apples.
The apple trees, all over New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut, suffer
this year from the ravages of the little
block-looking "canker-worm*." These
devouring pests, unlike the "bog"
worm which make© the unsightly nests
ujKi!i the trees and grows into a hairy
caterpillar, cannot be destroyed, be
es use tlicv are scattered all over the
tree, and lo not nt any {wticuliy time
gather together. In thousands of tries,
in various parts of N-w York, their
ruvii"<K have made such ruinous work
that the tree* hsik as if a fire had pass
til over them. But it seems that
whether birds do or do not devour these
pests there is for the worms a natural
enemy. The large black ants are
waging war upon the worms. They
kill large numbers of them, dragging
their Lilies off the battle-field for future
consumption. Sometime* the worm
comes off conqueror. Observers have
noticed those facts with interest.
A Strange Water Insert.
A qii"er-looking insect was taken from
u street hydrant in Nashville, Tenn., one
day recently. It was alwrat an inch in
length, atul of a light yellow color.
Along its back were two rows .if a sub
stance resembling delicate fringe, which
it kept constantly in wave-like motion.
The eyes were black and remarkably
1 keen in expression. What appeared to
be three tails were connected with a
hardly perceptible membrane, nnd when
spread out resembled a fan in shape.
This seemed to furnish the motive jniwer
in swimming, though in making its way
through the water it swain more like a
i | snake than a fish. It was exhibited to
several scientific gentlemen, but none of
■ them had ever s?en anything like it be
- 1 fore.

In the meantime the British coinmau

and a Isaly of Tori"*, to intercept the
Colonial truopa; and ua the van of Herki
mer's army descending tlie steep

with the sharp crock of musketry and
tho blood-curdling yell* of ouiiocalpd
I savages, and in U twinkling the greater
{•art of the division found itself hemmed
IN, as it were, by a circle of tin- that
mowed down the rater ranka like graaa
lief ore the scythe. The detachment wa*
thrown iuto instant confusion, aud it
mi-ins miraculous how it escaped aimilii-

But Uie environod militia, after the
terrible shock of the surprise had passed
away, exhibited an amount of bravery
and intrepid aeif-powMMioa that has
seldom L-<-U equaled tu our eventful
history of forest lights, and that must go
far toward atoning for their previous
rash and reprehensible conduct In this
they were furnished a magnificent ex
