MARION GLENN'S 'ROMANCE ;
EBORM
EMI
on.
Heart Wealth and World Wealth.
MEND
=
The windows of Mr. Glenn's handsome
stone front house were all closed; heavy
black crape was bier to the bell handle,
to inform the passers-by that death had
entered that dwelling, and claimed one of
the occupants as a victim.
In a handsome rose-wood coffin, with
heavy silver mountings, reposed the corpse
of the proud and stately Mr. Wenn, and
in the room overhead sat his widow and
only child.
Mr. Glenn bad always been called a
wealthy man ; he had always lived in ex
travagant style, and his wife and daughter
dressed in the latest style—rode in a hand
some carriage, and gave frequent and de-
pant parties.
Marion Glenn was a handsome girl, and
admirers, not a few, flocked around her;
but flattery had failed to spoil her, she
had strong, good ease, cud out'of her
many admirers, she had selected one
whom she thought more worthy of re
spect and love than the rest; and on him
she bestowed her sweetest smiles. _Many
young men envied George Clare—for the
smiles and favor of such a girl as Marion
Glenn, were not to be had every day.
In this, the hour of Marion's bereave
ment. George Clare was very kind, very
attentive; and his tender sympathies and
delicate attentions were very soothing to
the heart of the fatherless girl. She be
lieved that he truly loved her, and that
pure love for herself prompted all these
little kindnesses.
The day of the funeral came—the dead
was laid to rest in the narrow couch pre
pared for hint—the soul went back to its
faker, and all that remained of the once
proud wan, was the memory of those who
knew and loved him.
The executors of the estate, after a care
ful examination into his affairs, were com
pelled to inform the widow that but little
remained for her—an income of but a few
hundred dollars. What was to be done?
Marion Glenn did not sink under the
blow, as Many would have dune ; oh, no,
she was not given tu such weakness,—she
sat down to think—to decide upon the
best course of action. The elegant house
they had so long enjoyed, must be given
up; the rich and costly furniture sold;
the servants dismissed. There was work
to do. and Marion Glenn could not vivo
way to grief or disappointment.
At length, everything was arranged;
the red flag of the auctioneer hum: from
the parlor window, and the d o wnhill o f
the Glenn's was the universal topic ofeon
ver-ation, in fashionable circles.
Ten o'clock came, and crowds of peo
ple flocked to the house to purchase,—to
see, and to be seen. Many who had pm*;-
ed evenings of pleasure in those handsome
parlors, now came to make unkin .1 re
marks, and while the auctioneer was busy
below, Marion Glenn sat in a room above.
In her baud she held an Open letter. and
a look of intense agony had settled over
her features. The letter was front George
Glare. It ran thus :
Miss Gt.kNx regret to hear that your
father has left his affairs in such a shocking
state of confusion. I heartily sympathize
with you and your soother; but under the
circumstances it will be impossible for me
to 11111111 the engagement I tun under to you.
Wishing you success in whatever volt may
undertake, I am,
Truly Yours,
xo ROE CLARE.
This was the hardest blow of all ; Marion
could look calmly on and see nirtune and
position swept away—but he, whom she
had invested with every noble, manly
trait of character. to turn coldly front her
in her misfortune. was cruel indeed ; and
for a time she sank beneath the unexpect

[For the "spy."]
SPRING.
I=
[For tie `• Spy.-]
Mrs, froward was a truly noble woman ;
her home was on the banks of the Hudson
—a beautiful mansion—and she had sur
rounded herself with every comfort and
elegancy of life. She was a widow, and
the mother of two lovely children. For
years had she known Marion Glenn ; and
now, when friends deserted the once proud
and wealthy girl, she came forward with
true delicacy, offering, sympathy and a
home.
Marion was happy with Mrs, ['ward ;
she lowed the children, and the quiet hie
she !ed suited her fin. better than the life
of fashionable excitement she had known.
With one mighty effort she eitst the
image of George Clare from her heart,
and learned to wonder how she ever loved
so vain and false a man.
Airs. Howard had a brother—a man of
strange impulses, a confirmed bachelor;
for years be had been traveling in
Europe. and now he was coming to visit
her.
When Marion heard of this proposed
visit, she received the news with quite an
ill-grace; for she thought that the pleasant,
social intercourse she bad learned to prize
so highly, would be interrupted; but how
mistaken she was.
Gerald May came. lie was a large,
powerfully built ruan—his face half cover
ed with beard ; his skin browned by ex
posure to the sun—but he was particular
ly interesting in conversation, and there
was no end to the stories he had to tell of
scenes in other lands.
Time passed on, and Gerald May and
Marion were thrown into each other's
society ; and one evening Marion said to
Mrs. Howard, with a modest blush mant
ling her cheeks and brow :
" My dead• friend, your brother has
asked rue to become his wife, and I have
consented."
Mrs. II otra ra smiled pleasantly. saying :
"I am content. I wished it so from the
first; and I hope you will be happy "
And Marion was happy ; for in the love
of Gerald May she found what many
women seek. but few find. Gerald was
a man who appreciated heart-wealth above
world•wealth.
They were married; and Mrs. Glenn
made her home with them ; and the days
passed by freighted with only joy for
Marion. She had walked beneath the
clouds, and now lived in the sunshine of
love and happiness.

Solomon's Temple.
Tttare i a et,a m in g tradition nonneeted
with the site on which the temple of
Solomon was erected. It is said to have
been occupied in common by two brothers,
one of whom had a ihmily, the other had
none. On this spot was sown a field of
wheat. On the evoniug succeeding the
harvest, the wheat having been gathered
in separate shoeki., the elder brother said
to his wife:
•• 31y younger brother is unable to bevu•
the heat and burden of the day. I will
arise, take et my shocks. and place them
with his, without his acknowledge."
The younger brother being actuated by
the saute benevolent motive, said within
himself:
" My elder brother has a family, I have
none; I will contribute to their support;
I will arise, take my shocks and place them
with his, without his knowledEe.-
.Indge of their mutual astonishment
when. on the following morning, they
found their respective shocks undiminish
ed. This course of events transpired for
s everal nights, when each resolved in his
own mind to stand guard and solve the
mystery. They did so, which. on the
following night, they met each other half
way between their respective shocks. with
their arms full.
Upon ground hallowed by such an as
sociation as this was the temple of Solomon
erected—so spacious and magnificent, the
wonder and admiration of the world !
Alas ! iu these days, how many would
sooner :steal their brother's whole shocks
than add to them a single sheaf.
How now; Sheep.
The March report of the Commissioner
o f A f!r ieulture dwells upon the ravages
committed by dugs among the sheep in
the 15liitcd states. 111 18156, five hundred
thousand sheep were killed by dogs, and
the value wag 82,000,000.. The number
injured was three hundred thousand, and
the loss is estimated at $600,000. The
Commissioner says : "The cost of keeping
dogs, most of them utterly worthless,
when calculated fur the whole country,
assumes startling proportions. The esti
mate made in the report of 18d3, of ten
dollars per annul: , or less than one cent
per weal, cannot be considered extrava
gant, •iu view of the price paid for board•
ing dogs, the east of keeping large unto
hers of them in cities, and their exclusive
consumption of weal.' As to their num
bers. it is belcived by many that they will
average one to each family. or seven mil
lions in the United States. In cities and
towns that aver:me would not be reached,
while many a pack of hounds and assem
blage of curs of low degree might be
fbunu in the ownership of single families.
Possibly seven millions might be too large.
Ohio, with a half a million families, is
supposed to have half a million dogs, al
though a little more than one-third of
that number are found on the assessor's
books. It may be assumed, in view of all
the data obtained, as a low estimate, that
there are five millions of dogs in the Unit
ed States, and that their subsistance in
volve au expenditure of fifty millions of
dollars."
Talks About Irealth—How Mach
shall we Eat?
Sir James Clarke thought that one of
the most fretful sources of consumption
was excessive eating. Ile says: "By a too
stimulating diet the stomach becomes dis
ordered, the secretion impaired, the circu
lation unbalanced, the skin dry and harsh,
and often, as a consequence, tuberculous
disease results."
An eminent American autlior affirms
that, "Where all the arts of cookery are
brought into requisition to tempt the ap
petite, it not unfrequently produces con
sumption." And again : "Superabun
dant and exciting fbod produces a morbid
condition of the body and derangement
of its functions, rapidly wasting its vitali
ty. Children overfed are never healthy.
Their excessive fullness and redness of
face, though often exhibited by thud par
cots with pride, indicate au unhealthy
condition. If' there is the least consump
tive taint. such feeding hastens it into ac
tivity." Again he says : "It is a false
notion that the scrofulous and tubercu
lous require high feeding. This often
develops the very evil it is designed Co
remedy."
Dr. Hunt declares : "Our own nation
is proverbial for gormandizing, which is
abrading beginning to deteriorate the en
ergies of the American people."
Dr. Muzzey says : -Much feeding is
likely to be followed by disease."
Lola Montez declares that "the ordina
ry fare of a fashionable lady is sufficient
to destroy the brightest and smoothest
skin."
I could quote from a great number of
well-known physicians in the same vein.
How shall we determine the neecss..ry
quantity of food ?
Dr. Phillips and Dr. Paris recommeud
that "the dyspeptic should carefully at
tend to the first feeling of satiety."
A score of eminent physiologists have
advised weighing the food.
Professor Hitchcock advises that we
should eat only of one dish, or, as be ex
plains it afterward, "one course."
The celebrated Dr. Johnson offers the
following on this point: "Whenever a
meal is folloWed by an inaptitude for men
tal or corporeal exertion, we have trans
gressed the rules of health, and are laying
the foundation of disease."
The famous Dr. Cheyne says: "If any
man has eaten or drank so much as ren
ders him unfit for the duties and studies
of his profession, he has overeaten."
Many expedients have been resorted to
to assist in securing moderation; but,
when the food is good and the social at
mosphere pleasant, nine people in ten go
too far. - -
I have a rule which has proved valua
ble. I have recommended it to many
others, to whom it has likewise proved of
great value. It is this: Before you take
the first mouthful, place upon your plate
all you are to eat. and cat but twice a
day.
This. for the most obvious reasons, is
greatly superior to any of the rules I have
named, and. I may add, to all that have
been given. This rule accomplishes all
that the practice of weighing does, with
out the embarrassment and annoyance
which weighing involves. It is better
than the rule of Dr. Johnson and others,
viz.. watching while you are eating fi,r the
first indication of satiety ; for it is simply
impassible fur a dyspetic. with his morbid
appetite, to watch or halt when be does
discover that the food fails to give the in
tense gratification of the first moment.
This is indeed the great difficulty—to use
calm judgment and moral firmness in the
midst of the absorbing pleasures of a deli
cious meal. I tun free to confess that I
have rarely done it myself, and think I
may without harsh judgment say I do not
know of half a dozen persons who can.
Besides, with this rule, you always
avoid the dessert, and the condiments.
which ; in the shape of extra salt. mustard,
pepper, etc., are almost• sure to find their

Curious Will.
The Nashville (Tenn.) G'a.:cite has the
following : `• We have heard of a rather
queer will which was lately admitted to
probate in one of the counties bordering
Cu the upper Comberland. A wealthy
old citizen had two suns, one of whom
was in the Federal army, and the other in
the rebel ranks. During the early part
of the war the old gentleman was taken
suddenly ill, and wishing to divide his
property equally between his two sons,be
queathed to Henry (the Federal soldier) all
his slave property. embracing about fifty
ncgrocs, and to Thomas (the boy in gray)
his entire landed estate. Ile died, and thus
the will stands. Both brothers lived to re
turn from the war, and the gallant soldier
of the lost cause, being perfectly satisfied
that slavery was no more,generously divid
ed the lands with his brother, and Loth
are living happily together."

Sitiventures of a Romantic Young
CHM!
Quite a romantic affair came to light in
Jersey City, Monday evening. Ida D.
Albert, aged 17 years, a rather pretty
robust, not unsophisicated female, whose
bead had iDocome filled with romantic
ideas, concluded to leave home and ven
ture the perils of the sea under the guise
of male attire. Accordingly. on Monday.
a week ago, she helped herself to $lOO of
her parents' money, and left her home
near Minneapolis, 111., for New York.
Arriving at Annapolis, she purchased
suit of clothes, and after having leer hair
cropped short, donned the new attire. She
then took the ears for New York, arriving
in the owl train on Sunday morning. At
the foot of Cortlandt street she called a
hackman and directed him to take her to
a hotel. The hackman accordingly convey
ed her to the Hulbert Street House kept
by Thomas J. Prendeville. A lady in
the hotel detected the sex of the young
woman. Prendeville succeeded in dissuad
ing her from her purpose, and she
accepted their,advice to return home. She
accordingly assumed female attire, and
was taken to the Erie hallway depot in
Jersey City. fur the purpose of taking
the express train home. After being
seated in the car, Detective Nugent had
his attention called to the girl by a person
who suspected something wrong. The
girl having considerable money in her
possession, and the officer fearing that
there were designs against her, took her
to the police station for safety, from
whence she will be forwarded to her home.
The girl is satisfied with her adventure,
and expresses a desire to return to her
home.—N. r. Express.

Culture of Sorghum
During the high prices of syrup it has
been a question whether it will pay to
raise our own sweetening if it becomes
cheaper. Although in many places last
year the manufacture of domestic sweeten-
Mg was almost a total failure, yet enough
has been done heretofore to show what
can be accomplished. The necessity of
growing cane for the manufacture of our
own sweet, to those accustomed to its use.
is already established. A few words as
to its cultivation. In the field where the
corn is to be planted, select a place to
plant the cane ; rich, well-drained, sandy,
or porous subsoil will do. Land on which
the water stands much of the time will
not answer. Some people say that it is
better to sprout the seed before planting,
as it will come up more even and get the
start of the weeds. Seed that has been
grown in this latitude (42°) three or four
years, should be renewed from the South
or Southwest. as it here deteriorates in
value yearly. Among the varieties of
cane the most prominent are Regular
Sorge—an old variety ; Liberian—new
and popular—does not blow down; Ootn
seeana—sotnetinies called Otabeitan—
best for sugar; Nee-a-za-na, or White
Imphee, two feet shorter than either of the
above : stands up well.
Altbougb many plant in drills, it is
thought by others to be more economical
to plant in hils, so the crop can be culti
vated both ways, the object being to have
the cane as stocky and large as possible.
The pith contains the sweetening. The
ground should at no time be worked very
deep, and especially the last time through
with the cultivator, as it would destroy
the little fibrous roots. When the bulk
of the seed becomes about ripe, or should
there be a heavy frost, the cane should
be stripped. For this purpose flatten
a broom handle to a thin edge and
with it fall the leaves to the ground ; af
ter they become dry they may be raked
iu piles for fodder. One man can strip
an acre of standing corn in a day. In
cutting up use the common corn knife.
Grasp the bill about midway from top to
bottom, cut it off close to the ground, and
while you have it in your hand cut off
about two feet of the top ends and lay
them down butts one way to bind. The wilt
ed leaves may be twisted into bands, putt
ing a short band around the middle of the
bundle, and another: around the batik
evening them on the ground while bind
ing. After being cut the canes should be
kept out of the hot sun. If stored awhile
in a dry. airy place in the shade, before
making up, all the better. There is a
right way and a wrong way doing work,and
soul - I .:times many ways for doing a thing.
all of which may be right; in this busi
ness it is essential the operator should
not be slovenly--should use his tack and
skill to the best advantage.
In regard to health of serge syrup rho
Sorge jottritai says: The percentage of
cane and fruit sugar contained in sor
ghum syrup is much greater than that
contained iu an equal volume of tropical
molasses or sugar-house syrup, for the
latter is always deprived of all the crystal
izable sugar which can be obtained by
both ordinary and extraordinary mean
before it is put in the market for sale.
Moreover, tropical molasses and sugar
house syrup, while they do not contain
any crystalized sugar that can by any
means be withdrawn from them, do con
tain most of the soluble filth and impuri
ties which pertain to the original product
of sugar and syrup. And not only this.
but they also contain soluble matter re
sulting from all the agents used in defecat
ing and refining. This of itself, when we.
remember that such an offensive substance
as putrid blood and such poisonous agents
as sulphate of zinc, diacetate of lead and
nitrate of silver are sometimes used by
sugar refiners, would make us look upon
the residuum of these operations with
suspicion.
Reference is frequently made to the ut
ter disregard fur cleanliness common in
sugar-houses, and many revolting details
are given in illustration of the fact. Per
haps the filth which comes to us in our
molasses and syrups in this way would
not be particularly unhealthy, and a re
ference to it here. may not be exactly in
place. But the exemption which we en
joy from being injuriously affected, re
sults from the absence of a knowledge of
these facts. If the eater of common trop
ical molasses and sugar-house syrup could
know at the time of eating all the ingre
dients contained therein, all the dubious
channels through which they bare pass
ed, and the filthy contacts to which they
have been exposed, we feel certain that
a very sick sensation would be experienc
ed. and a convulsive movement of the
dor.;al and abdominal muscles would be
induced, much like that which follows a
diet of tartar emetic.
