by the window busily engaged in da
ing a wretched-locking stocking over a |
manimoth orange, bemoaning
with her every stitch her recent attack |
rheumatisin which confined her to
the house, when she was thoroughly |
conscions of the fact that her services |
were needed out doors. Now was the |
time to dig her potatoes, now the time
to gather certain apples, and—do |
everything in fact; and here she was,
rot only unable to get about, but so |
Leavily trammeled by debts that she
found it impossible to secure the assist- |
ance so much needed.
- Well, § declare pe
This exclamation was caused by the
rumbling old stage coach, that daily |
passed her house, stopping at the front
gate, from which alighted her niece, |
who ran lightly up the walk and into
the house followed by a stronglxr-built |
man, bearing on his shoulder a good- |
sized trunk, which he deposited in the |
hall ere making his exit. i
“ How d'ye do, Aunt Susan ?” with a |
hug and a kiss. *“ Not a slave to rhen- |
ism, I hope #’
“Yes,” replied Widow Darley, who,
by the way, was a tiny woman of fifty, |
with a face not unlike the wrinkled ap- |
ples that grew on the tree in the garden, |
“the monster has me again in his |
clutch. Bat, whatever brings you

“Yes, aunt,” a tremor of pain thread-
ing her voice in spite of her efforts to
sppear unconcerned, ‘ times are dull,
an | Madam Brown has so little work
that she deemed it expedient to dispense
with the services of those girls who
proved the most incompetent. I, being
the least skillful of all her apprentices,
was discharged without regret. Most
summarily she dismissed me, withhold-
ing the few quaint words of commenda-
tion she grudgingly bestowed upon the
others. I have no taste for dressmaking,
and am termed a regular botch. Not a
very good recommendation to help se-
cure another situation, eh ? But, never
mind, aunt! I see I am needed at

**Not at all,” in her most dolorous
tone; “the place is fairly weighed down
with mortgages, and, for aught I know
to the contrary, Mr. Lincoln may fore-
close any day. Yes, any day may find
us without shelter. Onr larder is about
empty and there is no money to replen-
ish it ; all of the flour has been scraped
from the barrel, and to-day I was obliged
to borrow a pailful from Jane Gray;
then, too, there is not a tea-leaf in the
caddy and I do not know how to exist
without my cup of tea. I had meant to
have dug a few bushels of potatoes and
got Mr. Denver's horse to go to obtain
some of the things 1 cannot get along
withont, but I am good for nothing
good for nothing!” with a profound
sigh.
“ Never mind, aunt, don’t worry.” I'll
see what can be done in the morning.”
And next forenoon, about 10 o'clock,
with a hoe swung over her shoulder, and
a half-bushel basket in her hand, in
which reposed a half-dozen potato bags
and a dainty repast done up in a news-
paper, she trudged to the potato lot, to
see what eould be done ; for the widow's
niece, Garnet Embers, was a girl equal
to any emergency. She was a slender,
graceful girl, neither blonde nor bru-
nette, but a combination of both, as
pretty a creature as one would care to
see, with her wonderfully fair complex-
ion, tinged with the merest flush of pink,
her dark eyes, almond-shaped, and full
of vim, shadowed by black, curling
lashes, and a superb abundance of red-
brown hair, coiled low on her well-
shaped head. She had donned a dun-
hued ealico dress, which she had fastened
up on all sides to keep clear of the dirt,
thereby displaying a foot arched and
slender as an Arab’s and over her head,
hiding her wondrous hair, was one of
her aunt’s sunbonnets, making her look,
as she declared, a regular guy. She
reached the lot and set to work in earn-
est, but somehow she made little pro-
gress, Ob! if some strong-handed mas-

But what delicacies does the luncheon
contain, Miss Embers, prepared by your

“ Not any, Bob,” with something that
sounded like a sigh. “Iam no better

missed our vocation. I worked two
years in Madam Brown's establishment
endeavoring to learn how to cut and
make dresses, but failed ignominionsly;
was therefore sent home minus a recom

Bob. Although a thoroughly good man,
Mr. Denver is a very exacting one, and
if your work to-day is a specimen of
what vou ean do he will not keep you in
his service any longer than what is ab
solutely necessary. What up-hill work
life is for the poor! Dear me! Iwon

“ (Good to look at,” he muttered, un
der his breath, wishing that she would
toss off the sunbonnet that almost con
cealed her face, Then aloud, * Good to
dig potatoes, I suppose.”
At which both laughed heartily, and
together they wended their way to the
apple tree, weighed down with golden
fruit, at whose foot they were to par
take of their lunch. A musical stream-
let threaded its way over a pebbly bed,
washing the roots of the apple tree as
it ran merrily on. Here, on the grass,
in sound of its babbling voice, they
seated themselves and prepared to par-
take of the repast, which Garnet spread
daintily out on a newspaper, first throw-
ing off the offending sunbonnet, which |
motion caused the red-brown hair to
tumble about her face, making a pic-
ture at which Titian would have raved.
“By Jupiter!” ejaculated Bob, “ she
is even prettier than I imagined. She
is a perfect witch.”
He had doffed his sombrero, and his
picturesque, Moorish face, illumined
by darkly splendid eyes, Garnet thought
the handsomest in the world.

Functions of the Newspaper,
1. The newspaper is, first of all, a
business enterprise, Publi make
newspapers to sell, just as hatters make
hats or shoemakers make shoes. The
newspaper is merchandise made to suit
market. Those buy it who wish it,
and the buyers take thi ir choice of thi
wares offered. Without this commercial
value the publication eonld not be sus
tained, and it would be as unwise as
unjust not to take this fact into account,
Newspaper makers, like other manu.
facturers, must consult popular tastes
and market demand.
But the newspaper is also a public
agent. “It offers to the public, for pay,
certain servic 8, such as the advertise
ment of commodities, the
ment of public meetings,
elections and sales. On this work, as
an advertising medium and public
herald, it depends for much of its sup.
port,
Ihese are the private and personal
aspects of the newspaper, and so far as
these are concerned it is the private
property and business affair of its pub-
lisher. But to count the newspaper as
merely a business enterprise, and to
reckon with it only as such, would in-
ult the publie intelligence as much as
it would trifle with the public interests
and rights. It assumes public func
tions and responsibilities which none
but a publie teacher can hold. We can-
not absolve men from the duties at-
tached to positions which they vol
untarily occupy. But the press is the
professed, if not paid, advocate of
whatever set of opinions it publicly ae-
cepts, It offers its columns as sources
of public information. It speaks in
print, and, therefore, with a supposed
deliberation, candor and honesty, such
as men use under the most solemn eir-
cumstances, It is in this public char
acter that it enters into the ranks of
the world's teachers, and becomes a
public educator, — Professor J, M. Gre-

cannot be transplanted safely to the
open field much before June 10. But
cucumbers are transplanted thus under
glass whenever the glass is ready for
them. In transplanting vines choose a
hot day, and avoid rainy, cold weather.
If well moistened before transplanting,
and carefully handled, they will not
wilt much, but may need a little shade
for a few days. The transplanting of
celery, cabbage and cauliflower plants is
simple and easy enough in the cool,
moist weather of early spring, but in the
hot weather of midsummer requires
some skill. Much depends in having
the land in which the plants are to be
sot thorougy fine; if coarse or lnmpy
it is much more likely to dry up and
destroy the plants. Choose, if possible,
a cloudy day after rain, but if this can't
be done, and if the weather is dry and
hot, the plants must be watered, Keep
the roots wet while setting them, and
water every day till they grow or till

All cultivated plants contain lime in
sary to their proper growth But as
soils generally contain enough lime, and
we apply it for its action upon the soil,
lime acts upon and greatly aids the
soil. It is thought to neutralize the
organic acids contained in what are
called “sour roils.” In a complicated
manner it aids in the fixing of ammonia. |
It also acts upon the inorganic or min-
eral constituents of the soil, and aids in
converting them into forms in which |
they can be taken up by the plants, |
especially in liberating potash from its
combinations, The effect of lime upon
the mechanical condition of the soil is |
an important feature. Upon heavy clay |
its effect is most marked;

What's a Printer?
A printer, according to a punning
exchange, is the most curious being
living. He may have a “bank” and
“gquoins” and not be worth a cent ; have
“gmall caps” and neither wife nor
children. Others may run fast, he gets
along swifter by “setting” fast. He
may be making *‘ impressions” without
eloquence ; may use the “lve” without
offending, and still tell the truth; while
others cannot stand while they set, he
can “set standing,” and do both at
the same time ; may have to use “furni-
ture,” and yet have no dwelling ; may
make and put away “pi” and never see
a pie, much less eat it during his whole
life ; be a human being and a8 “rat” at
the same ; may “ press” a good deal,
and not ask a favor; may handle a
“shooting iron" and know nothing
about a cannon, gun or pistol ; he may
move the “lever” that moves the world,
and ‘vet be so far from the morning
globe as a hog upon a mole hill;
“gpread sheets” without being a house-
he may lay his form on the * bed”
and vet be obliged to sleep on the floor;
handle * stars ;"” he may be of a * roll-
to travel ; he can have a “sheep's ” foot |
or physic; be always correcting his
day; have ‘‘embraces,” without ever
having the arms of a lass thrown around
him ; have his * form locked up,” and
at the same time be far from the jail,
watchhouse, or any other confinement
ho may be plagued by the “devil” and
not be a Christain of the very best type

population is about fifty thousand, most |
of whom are Turks. Limestone ridges |
traverse Scio, giving it a rocky and un- |
oven surface and picturesque appear-
ance. There are a few small streams of
water iu the alleys, but most of the |
irrigation is by means of water from |
wells. Only a small part of the island |
is arable. Gum mastic is the staple |
production, among the other produe- |
tions being silk, cotton, wool, fruit and
oil. Considerable wine is also made on |
the island. The chief city and capital |
is Scio, or Kastro, situated near the !
middle of the east coast and having
14,600 residents. The city is pro- |
tected by a castle, has a harbor and
manufactories of silk, velvet and cotton. |
In ancient times tho chief city was |
called Scios, and claimed to have been

of the island runs back centuries before

subject to Rome. Turks captured the
chief city and massacred the inhabitants
early in the fourteenth century. Then
the Genoese gained possession in 1346, |
and held it until 1566, when it again '

regard to sex or age, were put to the

and 5,000 fled to escape death. Asa
result the Christian population of nearly .
104,000 was reduced to 2,000. A Gree

Frenchman, attacked the Turkish garri-
