THE DEATH OF FLOWERS.
BY WX. CULLEN BBYANT.
The melancholy days are come,
The saddest of the year,
Of wailing winds and naked woods,
And meadows brown and sear.
- Heap’d in the hollows of the grove,
The withered leaves lie dead;
They rustle to the eddying gait,
And to the rabbit’s tread.
The robin and tbfe wren are flown,
And from the shrubs the jay,
And from the wood-top calls the orow,
Through all the gloomy day.
Where are tho flowers, the fair young flowers
That lately sprang and stood
In brighter light and softer airs,
A beauteouftcisterhood ?
Alas! they are all in their graves;
The gentle race of flowers
Are lying in their lowly beds,
With the fair and good of ours.
The rain is falling where they lie,
Bat the cold November rain
Calls not, from out the gloomy earth,
The lovely ones again.
The wind-flower and the violet,
They perished long ago,
And brier rose and the orchis died,
Amid the summer glow;
Bnt on the hill the golden rod,
And the aster in the wood,
And yellow sunflower by the brook
In autumn beauty stood,
Till fell the frost from the clear, cold heaven,
As falls the plague on men,
-And the brightness of their smile was gone,
/ From upland, glade and glen.
; And now, when oomes the calm, mild day,
And still suoh days will come,
To call the squirrel and the bee
From out tneir winter home;
When the sound of dropping nuts is heard,
Though all the trees are still,
And twinkle in the smoky light
The waters of the rill; <*
The south wind searches for the flpwers
Whose fragrance late he bore,
And sighs to And them in the wood '
And by the streams no more.
And when I think of one wbo in
Her youthful beauty died,
The fair meek blossom that grew up
And faded by my side;
In the cold moist earth we laid her,
When the forest oast the leaf,
And we wept that one so lovely
Should have a life so brief;
, Yet not unmeet it was that one,
i Like that young friend of ours,
So gentle and so beautiful,
Should perish with the flowers.
“LET ME.”
I ne’er on that lip for a moment have gazed,
But a thousand temptations beset me ;
And I’ve thought, as the dear little rubies you
raised, J
How delightful ’twould be if you’d—let me.
Then be not so angry for what I have done,
Nor say that you’ve sworn to forget me;
They were buds of temptation too pouting to shun,
And I thought you could not but—let me.
When your lips with a quiver came close to my
cheek, J
' Oh, think how bewitching it met me;
And plain as the eye of a Venus could speak,
Your eyes seemed to say you would—let me.
Then forgive the transgression, and bid me remain ;
For, in truth, if I go you’ll regret me ;
Then, oh, let me try the transgression again,
And I’ll do all you wish if you—let me.
ANSWER—“ I’LL LEX YOU.”
If a kiss be delightful, so tempting my lips
That a thousand soft wishes beset you,
I vow, by the nectar that Jupiter sips,
On certain conditions—l’il let you.
If you swear by my charms that you’ll ever be true,
And that no other damsel shall get you,
By the stars that roll round that summit of blue,
Perhaps, sir—perhaps, sir—l’ll lot you.
If not urged by a passion as fleeting, as wild,
That makeß all the virtues forget you,
But affeotion unsullied, soft, fervent and mild,
You ask for a kiss, then, indeed, love—l'll let you,
THE SILVER ARROW.
A TALE OP SAVOT.
Upon the summit of a lofty cliff in
mountainous Savoy stood the Castle of
Count Rudolin, frowning grimly in the
sunshine upon the peaceful cottages be
low. Stern, rough, and half inaccessible,
it was a fair type of its lord, the last Count
of his line. And the sunny brightness,
so lavishinglv poured upon it, was truly
like the sweet influences of his young and
gentle daughter. Father and child had
the same name, hut nothing more in com
mon. Where sympathy is wanting there
is but little intercourse, so that while he
regarded his daughter solely as an heiress,
his repelling roughness caused her to look
upon him merely as her guardian and
natural protector. -
In. the deep narrow valley at the foot of
the hill Jay an humble cottage, buried in
the shadow of its lofty neighbor. The old
cottager, Melchoir, was the minstrel and
wise man of the entire barony. In those
days, the offices were oommonly united,
and the harper who delighted high-born
lords and dames with his minstrelsy, was
the repository, of peasants’ unwritten lore,
the story-teller whom they always wel
comed, the seer whom they revered.—
Melchoir pretended to little of the latter
character, except when it was forced upon
him, or could be made advantageous to his
interest. Albert, his adopted son, was a
manly youth, deeply versed in the gay
science, and yet the master of a spirit
well fitted to lead in the front ranks of
strife. The hand that ran so lightly over
the gentle guitar, was the hardest in the
oontest, surest in the blow. Well worthy
was he to have been a pupil of Scott’s
warrior minstrel, £ the jovial harper who
died at Jedwood Air,’
“He brooked, not he, that scoffing tongue
Should tax his minstrelsy with wrong
Or oall his song untrue; ’
■For this, whon they the goblet plied,
And such rude taunts had obafed his pride,
The bard of Keuil he 6lew,
On Teviot’s side, in fight they stood,
And tuneful hands were stained with blood ;
Where still the thorn’s white branches wave
Memorial o’er his rival’s grave.”
Of such mould were the minstrels of
fomer days, equally ready to exalt their
science with sweetness of voioe or strength
of arm. 6
The adopted mother of Albert
ter-mother to the Countess Lilien, and
thus from earliest ohildhood notwithstand
ing the disparity of their conditions an in
timaoy bad grown up with their growth
between the peasant’s son and the daugh
ter of Count Kudolin. She, the gentlest
and loveliest of all maidens, was not the
one to think of rank, and his strange wild
heart burning with poetic fire, knew it
would disgrace the friendship of none,
even the loftiest. And no dreams of love
had yet entered into the thoughts of either.
Their ages were the same, bnt the matured
soul of Albert naturally, found itself sus
taining her frailer and womanly spirit. -
This difference compensated for the equal
ity in years, and placed him in the rela
tion whioh man instinotively bears to the
other sex. Their meetings had always
been .frequent, almost daily, neither of
thetb dreamed of the inevitable result.—
Though the peasant’s son and noble’s
'daughter might be'freely together as fos
ter brother and sister, who could suppose
they would dare ,to form a stronger tie *
They were now sixteen, and just arrived
at a knowledge of the truth.- . The woman’s
- nature of Lilien first perceived it, and her
reserve, her absence from their usual place
of meeting, and above all her tone as she
uttered the words, ‘ We are sixteen,’ con
voyed it, also to Albert’s mind. Though
yet unworn in the world’s ways, and
trembling with the delicious consciousness
of a first love, she had Buffioient pride of
ancestonal birth to feel that they must
meet no more. But Albert was more
hopeful. He too saw the barrier between
them, but he also knew the power i f an
invincible energy, and resolved never to
yield his faith.
It was several days since they had last
seen eaoh other, and both looked eagerly
forward to a grand fete which the Count
was preparing to give his dependents.—
Suoh had been an immemorial custom in
the barony, and one that he had hardly
dared to interrupt, though his taste was
not in merry makings for the poor. Per
haps he endured it less unwillingly, be
cause the jovial unthinking tenantry
would endure a year of oppression more
readily, after a single day of pleasure.—
Upon these occasions, feats of wrestling
and arohery throughout the day, succeed
ed by dancing in the great hall of the
oastle,-amused the people, and delighted
not unfrequently the surly Count himself.
The morning of the festival dawned, and
neither the Countess Lilien or the young
minstrel peasant imagined that their re
spective fates were crowded together within
that single day.
The great court of the oastle was early
thrown open for the vassals as they as
sembled from every part of the barony.
It was the only plaoe near by that was
adapted for suoh occasions. From the
walls of the oastle itself, a long smooth
plat of ground stretched even to the verge
of one of those tremulous gorges so com
mon in that broken country. It was a
fissure between two portions of the same
hill, running sheer down for a hundred
feet, until where a mountain torrent dashed
fiercely along over its rook floor. The
width of this fearful chasm was not more
than thirty feet, and the two edges were
connected by a light movable bridge.—
This was the only defence of the oastle on
that side, and there, at least, made it al
most impregnable.
The sport commenced, but Albert took
no part, and looked carelessly on the scene.
Almost his entire attention was directed
towards the young Countess, in watohing
for a stray look, in receiving a chance
smile, and more than once her shy inno
cent glance, resting on him for a moment,
sent the blood thrilling swiftly through
his veins. He busied himself for some
time, until a strange scene called his at
tention elsewhere.
There was a singular unskilfulness in
the archers, and one that might have pro
voked a milder man than Count Rudolin.
He himself was a fine marksman, and felt
the disappointment as keenly as oould the
unlucky competitors. At last, as each
seemed shootiog worse than tho one before
him, he rose from his seat and starting
hastily forward seized a bow from a peas
ant’s hand. But even his skill was not
exempt from the general disgrace. The
arrow struck the target nearer than any
before it, but yet at a most provoking dis
tance from the centre. The Count shook
with rage and shame.
‘Bring hither my own cross bow,’ he
shouted, < and the silver arrow. I can do
nothing with these awkward things ; they,
at least, will not fail.’
‘ Beware, Count Rudolin,’ said Mel
choir, ‘ the silver arrow is not to be used
on light occasions.’
‘ And why not, meddler V He stamped
with fnry as he spoke.
‘ Remember, noble Count, that your
anoestor received that arrow from a dealer
in magic, for a particular mystio purpose,
aud the time for that has long sinoe passed.
Think, too, of the fatal caution which ac
companied the gift— to use it only where
life, or death to the House of Rudolin was
eonoerned, for when the shaft should miss
its mark, the unskilful archer should find
it in his own heart.’
‘ I am not the unskilful marksman whose
arrow can miss,’ said the Count sternly, as
he reoeived the shaft and bow.
This arrow, which had descended
through many generations to the heirs of
Rudolin, was delicately moulded of virgin
metal. The shaft was hollow and skilful
ly ornamented with strange characters, and
aßide from the magic power oommonly at
tributed to it, was indeed a sure weapon in
the hands of a good marksman. The Count
examined it reverently, placed it in the
bow and turned to take aim. In his agi
tation he did not oarefully draw the bow
string, and as he abruptly wheeled about,
caught in his doublet, and of course dis
charged the shaft. It whizzed swiftly
through the air and lodged in a tree, whioh
projected right over the fearful fissure
already mentioned. All hurried to the
spot.
The trunk of the tree was only a few
feet from the narrow bridge, bnt where it
pushed its boughs broadly out, there was
nothing beneath them except the torrent
which roared under the oliff. The tree
itself could be easily olimbed' by a hardy
mountaineer, but, unfortunately, the arrow
had lodged in a dead branch, whioh seemed
unable to bear the weight of a man. Any
attempts from the land to loosen it, would
inevitably-'cause it to drop into the torrent.
At one glance the Count saw all the
hazard at an attempt to regain the arrow.
Yet as a work of magio, whose loss would
be followed by a curse, he could not bear
to lose it. Rather his castle, anything
than that on whioh his life depended.
‘ Five hundred crowns,’ cried he, * to the
man who will place the silver arrow in my
hands!’ There was a wistful buzzing
among his retainers, but no one stirred.
The Count marked this and knew what
must be the price of such fearful danger!
VjU grant,’ he said slowly arid loudly,
‘ any boon in my power and consistent with
my honor, whioh he may demand.’ At
these words he saw a youth at the baok of
the orowd striving to break loose from
those who would restrain him. The Count
continued, ‘ the reward will be given by
the hands of the Countess Lilien.’ Albert
broke desperately from the grasp of his
friends, v r
.. (f success was in the power of man, his
light agile form seemed most likely to ob
tain it.‘: ; It was easy to asoend the tree up
to tnq point where the. dead limb shot off

from the trunk. Here he stopped a
moment and ooolly formed his plan. There
was no other oourse than to advance bold
ly upon the rotten brsnob, without any
support over head, and to return in the
same manner. He stepped lightly and
nervously forward. His eye was fixed upon
the silver arrow, as it glittered before
him, loosely hanging to the branch with
nothing between it and the torrent but an
hundred feet of'air. It was reached and
in the youth’s hand. Had he moved on
without stopping, the decayed wopd might
have borne its burthen a little longer, but
the unavoidable pause in grasping fche 'ehaft
brought his whole weight for an instant
upon a particular point.. The branch
oraoked. He threw the arrow at the
Count’s feet just as the bough broke from
the tree with a crashing noise and fell down
the abyss. A cry of terror burst from the
crowd.
In that dreadful moment, when his solid
support gave way, the youth’s daring cool
ness did not fail him. With a nervous
effort, that snapped tbe.rotten bough clear
from the tree, he sprang forward as far as
possible into the air. His only hope was
to catoh the bridge a few feet on one side
in his desoent, and he barely succeeded.
His fingers just closed upon the rail, and
though the sudden shock in falling nearly
swuDg him away, life depended upon his
grasp, and he steadily maintained it for a
second. Then he lightly leaped upon the
bridge, crossed it, and picking the arrow
from the ground, whence no one had
thought of removing it, plaoed it in the
Count’s hands.
The peasants broke into shouts of tri
umph. Even the Count’s harsh features
wore a smile of admiration as ho said :
‘ Now, gallant boy, ask the boon.’
Albert looked steadily at the young
Countess until she shivered under his gazeT
He stepped forward and offered to take her
hand within his own. Trembling with
recent excitement,and conscious of nothing
but the movements of one, so miraculously
preserved to her love, she yielded to the
only impulse of her heart and kneeled with
him at her father’s 3 feet.
Count Rudolin whitened with rage at
this presumptuous act. A storm of pas
sion swept into his heart, and almost burst
the frame that was unable to contain it.
For a few moments his retainers looked to
see him go into convulsions, as had often
happened when anything roused his un
governable fury. At last he spoke a few
words in a hoarse, stammering hiss.
‘ Bind and dqngeon the madman i On
with your sports, simple fools !’
Without noticing Lilien he walked hur
riedly to the castle, the silver arrow yet in
his hands. In his joy at its recovery he
had vowed not to part with it throughout
the day. The only reward of its restorer
was a dungeon.
In the evening the great hall of the
oastle was brilliantly illuminated and
thrown open for dancing. Count Rudolin
was there somewhat more composed than
he had shown himself a few hours before,
but with a darker expression than common
upon his countenance.
The talisman of his house was yet
grasped in his hands, as if he feared to
lose it. Perhaps he thought of what young
Albert had gained in exchange for losing
his life.
Lilien too was thore, no longer quietly
beautiful, but discomposed and each mo
ment oasting around vague glanoes, whioh
seemed to implore assistance. Melohoir
received one and obeyed the mate sign to
approach her.
‘ Can you save him, father Melchoir V
‘No harm of life or limb must come to
Albert. I know that whioh oan set him
free, and if it comes to the worst I will
speak.’
‘ Save him, then, as he is. Can you
talk so coolly of the danger to the son
whom you have adopted as your own V
‘ Countess Lilien, he oan be relieved
only by your own fall. Do you eonsent to
the sacrifice 1 Bethink you before you
speak.’
‘ I need no thought. Say what you
know—no matter what happens to me. I
cannot be more wretohed than I am now.’
‘ Then I will do it,’ exolaimed the old
man. ‘lt is time, high time, that the
whole truth was known.’
He struck his harp ; the dancing ceased,
and all gathered aronnd the minstrel for
his accustomed song and tale. But when
their attention was secured, he com
menced with the recital of his story, ad
dressing himself particularly to Count
Rudolin.
‘There once lived a baron whose life
was obarmed by a beautiful and kind lady.
She died and left him bnt one pledge of
their happiness. Years passed by, and
the yonng Countess arrived just upon the
verge of womanhood, lovely as her mother
before her, and blessed by all. Bat un
fortunately she loved a peasant, and this
awakened the baron’s wrath. The Count
Rudolin discovering she was not his
child, —
‘ Stop !’ shouted a load voioe. The
Count placed himself in front of the old
minstrel and eyed him sternly.—
‘ Melchoir, it was of .Count Rudolin that
you spoke. Speak on now what yon have
to. say.’
‘ I spoke,’ said" Melohoir, oalmly, ‘ of
the noble Count Rudolin and my daughter
Lilien. The nurse who attended upon the
Countess at her death was my wife. She
had been angered by her lady, and had
vowed a deep revenge, whioh should strike
into the very Honse of Rndolin. This
was done by palming off another child as
the daughter of the Countess. Her mis
tress soon died, and who was there sus
pected or knew more than the confidential
nurse !’
‘ What proof is there that you do not
lie!’ said the Count, without manifesting
belief or disbelief in the story.
‘ My own oath and the attested confes
sion of my own wife, just before her own
death, are sufficient. But there is another
kind of testimony to #hichyou would give
ea n r ore^ence - The silver arrow of
the House of Rudolin was given to yonr
ancestor just before the birth of an heir.
The child brought with him into tboworld
an arrow distinctly marked upon h» arm,
and this.has distinguished all his descen
dants. You bear srioh a mark upon your
own person, and you have heard that your
ohiid also oarried this seal of its- descent.
Look here !’ ‘ He bared the fine swelling
arm of Lilien up to her snowy shoclder,
hut there was no traoe upon that soft, fresh
skin.
‘ This should snffioe for you. I demand
my daughter Lilien.’ <
! ‘lt is enough!—take her. By heaven,'
false man, I might have known that no
blood of mine could have sought to mingle
itself with a peasant race. Aye! bring
forward young Albert. He shallhave the
very boon he asked this morning. Stop!
he is not your son ; I have been told that
you adopted him.’
‘He is not my son. I adopted him
many years since,’ Melchoir replied.
‘ Then in the Fiend’s name let them wed.
Summon the ohaplain hither.’
In a few minutes they were duly
married.
‘ Melchoir, I have interrupted your story
—I will finish it for you. Count Rudolin
found she was not his daughter, and mar
ried to a ohanoe-born, who felt it no dis
honor to mingle his poor blood with that
of a traitor’s daughter. And the betrayed
man soon worthily punished the traitor.—
Mark that part of the story, false Melohoir.
New let this merry making oease. Away !
all of you.’
r ‘ ‘ My Lord Connt has not quite finished
the story. When the nurse gave her own
child to the lady, she took another child
in exchange. And that child is Albert,
whom you, noble Count, unthinking of
Providenoe, in your haste have married to
my daughter. See ! upon his arm is the
arrow which belongs to the House of
Rndolin.’ There was indeed a faint,
straight mark whioh bore some similitude
to an arrow.
The whole frame of Count Rudolin
seemed torn with silent yet terrible
emotion. There was no joy at recovering
his lost son manifested in bis working
features, but shame at the degradation of
his race in that marriage, and rage against
him who had eaused it. He tottered up
to Melohoir and raised his arm, while his
white lips whispered, ‘My blood is joined
to yours, traitor!’ The blood suddenly
shed to his face with apoplectic fulness, he
dropped his arm and wavered a moment,
then fell heavily to the ground. The shaft
whioh he had hold loosely in his hand, was
pointed upwards, and transfixed his body
as its whole weight pressed suddenly upon
it. He stirred once and died.
Melohoir solemnly waved back the
peasants as they orowded around the
body.
‘ It is true, then, that this fatal arrow,
when it has missed the target, should find
its mark in the aroher’s heart. Let the
body be removed. Yet why do I command
in this hall ? Albert of Rudolin, thou art
Lord here, and you, Lilien, are mistress as
before.’
irr- In an interior town in old Connec
ticut, lives an odd character named .Ben
Hayden. Bun has some good points, but
he will run his face when and where ho
can, and never pay. In the same town
lives Mr* Jacob Bond who keeps the store
at the corner. Ben had a score there,
but to get his pay was more than Mr. B.
was equal to. One day Ben made his ap
pearance with a bag and a wheelbarrow.
6 Mr. Bond, I want to buy two bushels
of corn, and I want to pay you the cash
for it.’
‘Very well,*, says B. And so they
both go up stairs, and B. puts up the corn,
and Ben takes it down, while Mr. B. stops
to close np his windows. When he got
down he saw old Ben some distance from
the door, making for home.
‘ Halloo, Ben ! You said you wanted
to pay the cash for that corn.’
Old Ben sat down on one handle of his
barrow, and cocking his head on one side,
said—
‘ That’s all true, Mr. B , I do want to
pay yon the cash for the corn, but I can’t.’
As a minister of Dumblane hap
pened to be one day visiting his flook,
along with one of his elders, they felt ex
tremely hungry, and on arriving at the
honse of Janet , they asked for
some refreshments. Janet set before them
everything of an eatable kind she pos
sessed, whioh consisted of oat cakes and
butter. This was all the poor woman had
to serve her for some time to come, aud
she naturally felt some anxiety for its
rapid disappearance. The minister began
conversing pretty freely with Janet, and
asked if she had been to church the pre
vious Sunday, and, if so, whether she
reoolleoted the sermon. She replied in
the affirmative, and on the minister’s in
quiring what the text was, she said it was
the text of ‘ The Loaves and the Fishes,’
and added, still notioing the rapid disap
pearance of the cakes and the butter,
‘ Deed, sir, if the multitude had been as
hungry as you and the elder, I think there
would have been fewer fragments left.’
I’ll tell Pa when He comes Home.
—A friend of ours, who had taken pride
for several years in cultivating a full crop
of hair on his faoe, was called away from
home on business some time siube. While
absent, an inexperienoed barber spoiled
his whiskers in trimming them, whioh so
ohagrined him that he direoted the barber
to make a clean job of it by shaving whisk
ers and mustache both off. The barber
obeyed, and onr friend’s face was as smooth
and as delicate as when in his teens. He
returned home in the night. Next morn
ing his little girl did not recognize him on
waking up. Looking over hhr mother,
and seeing, as she supposed a stranger in
the bed, she remarked in her childish sim
plicity, ‘ Mister, get out of here ; I’ll tell
my IPa when he comes home.'
SF* Sidney Smith tells of a maid who
used to boil the eggs very well by her
master’s watch, but one day he could not

so she took the time from the kitohen clock,

the whole. But every European family,
knows the expense of every year, of every
month, day or hour—the exaot cost of
every dinner, supper or breakfast, of every
morsel they eat, of every drop they drink.
Every German and Frenoh housewife
knows not only how much the meat, pota
toes and bread of any meal have cost, bnt
also the water in which she has cooked
them, and the coal or wood she has burned
to boil the water. It is infinitely amusing
to an American to observe such a menage.
In Paris there is no aqueduct, the foun
tains of the city belong to the government,
and the water is sold by barrels and pails
full to water carriers, who supply families
at so much a gallon. In a house of five
stories there are two families on each floor,
making ten who ascend the same staircase,
up which all articles for family use must
be oairied. It is a rule that water, coal
and all heavy artioles must be taken up
before noon, as übout that time the con
cierge cleans the hall and stairs, and they
must be kept clean for oallers in the after
noon. In every kitchen is a receptacle for
water, consisting of an oblong box, con
taining two or more pailsfull, according to
tho means of the family or their, ideas of
oleaoliness. In one oorner of the box is
a small portion of porous stone, whioh
serves as a filter, and to whioh is a separate
faucet. The porteur brings two large pailß
full of water for three cents, and comes
every morning. It is therefore very .easy
to know how mnoh the water costs in whioh
the dinner is boiled.
In the same kitchen is a box for coal,
which contains the quantity for which they
pay forty cents, and they know exactly
how many meals can be cooked with this
quantity. If they have guests to dinner,
they use an extra quantity of water and
coal, and know how many cents worth are
devoted to each guest, and then of course
they know if they can afford to invite any
body agaih!
They know exactly how much of every,
article is used every day. The. streets of
Paris are lined with small grooeries, where
everything is purchased by the cent’s
worth, and are certainly very convenient
for people who earn only a few oents per
day. If a family oomes into the neighbor
hood who does not patronize these small
shop-keepers, it is considered a great in
justice, and we have known them to com
mence a regular persecution of 'such a
family, annoying them in every possible
way. They keep coffee, burnt and ground,
sugar, powdered and in lumps, tobacco,
liquors, and every household article in
infinitely small quantities.
The morning meal in every French
family is bread and coffee, what they call
cafe au lait, and is made of equal portions
of coffee and ohiokory plaoed in a biggin,
upon whioh hot water is ponred so long as
it runs through black. Of this they take
two spoonsful to a half pint of boiiing
milk. Three or five cents worth of ooffee
is purchased every day, and the milkman
and baker of course come every morning.
The second meal is at noon, though it
is oalled breakfast, and is merely a lunch
eon, cold, or tho remnants of yesterday’s
dinner. For these two no cloth is put
upon the table, and all ceremony is un
necessary.
The dinner is at six, and consists of meat
and one vegetable, and sometimes a salad.
I have seen a piece of meat, cooked with-:,
out onions and garlic, and swimming in
gravy. The salad is dressed with oil and
vinegar, the rule being a spoonful of
vinegar to three of oil, with pepper, salt,
and mustard, and also a little onion and
garlic. The commencement of dinner is
of course soup, as this is invaluable in
every continental family. There are also
soup shops, where a pin t or a quart can be
purchased every day, between four and six.
But as often as once or twice a week they
have a boiled dinner, what they call pot
au feu. In America the liquor in which
meat and vegetables are boiled for such a
dinner are thrown away. It must certainly
contain the best juice of the meat, and be
very good and nourishing. In Europe it
is every drop saved and eaten. They .fill
an earthen pot with meat and vegetables,
never omitting the onions, and let it boil
away one-half. For the soup, they seaspn.
it with pepper, and sometimes with sqrrel,
parsley, .and other herbs and spices, and
thicken it with vermicelli or crumbs or
bread. Whether it is delioious or not, it
certainly seems too good to throw away.
American house-wives, who maybe obliged'
to practioe economy, oan at least try it,- —
Children may be taught to like it, and
must not be told it is an institution-of
eoonomy merely. ■ - :
The dessert is almost invariably: bread
and oheese in winter, with a little pomfiture.
I do not mean to say that every family lives
BUdHAHAH.
in this way, but I have been in many, and
seen little difference.' One is expected'to
take a bit of cheese about an inoh square,
anda teaspoonfol of oomfitnre. The little
shop windows are also lined with jars of
preserves, .whioh are sold in quantities of
two or three cents worth, like anything
else.
Cheese in the same way, a lnt a few
i inches sqnare for dinner. The pepper and
salt are no exceptions to the three cent
: rule, little three-cornered papers being the
| only receptables for them. Cinnamon,
cloves, nutmeg and similar spices have no
looation in a continental family, where they
never make a pudding or pie of oake of
,any description, and where they wonld
consider it the greatest extravagance to
eat snob things. Wo are talking of
families who have a regular income of
§6OO or |BOO, §lOOO or §l5OO .a year.—
Suoh a family does not allow'the whole
expense of the table to he more than §8
or §lO a month eaoh person, and we know
those who limit it to §5 or §6, and yet
who live very comfortably. —Paris Cor.

Wehave been compelled to raise the club subscription
price to one.doHar and and fifty centsin order to save oar*
selves from actual lon.. Paper haa risen, including taxes,
abouttwentyfire percent,, and stUlrising; and when wo
teU out Democratic friends, candidly, that w* eau no
longer afford to sell the Weekly Patriot AHnUmbNat one
dollar a year, and, most add fifty cents oratop-the-publica*
tlon, we traat they Fill appreciate onr position, and,'in*
stead of withdrawing their subscriptions., go to work with
a will to increase oorllat in every connty in the -State.
We have .endeavored,-and shall continue our efforts, to
make the: paper useful as a party organ, and welcome as
a newa messenger to ‘every family.. We. flatter ourselves
that it has notbeen without some influence In producing
the glorious revolution in the politics of the State achieved
at the ikte election?,and if fe&eTessnesa in the discharge of
dnty, fidelity.fo“the principle* of the party, and anxious
desire to promote its interests, with some experience ar.d a
moderate degree of ability, can be made serviceable here*
after, thq Weekly Patriot and Union will not be less use*
ful to the party or less welcome to the family circle in the
future than it has been in the past. We confidently look
for increased encouragement in this great enterprise, and
appeal to evary-inflaential Democrat In the State to lend
ns bis aid in running onr subscription list up to twenty.or
thirty thousand. The expense to each indlviduat la trifling,
the benefit to the party may be great. Balievlfig.that -the
Democracy of the state feel the necessity of sustaining a
fearless central organ, we make this appeal to them for as*
siatauce with the fullest confidence of success. -
The eame reasona.which indace us to. raise the price
the Weekly, operate ih regard to the Daily paper, the price
of which is also-Increased. The additional cost to each
subscriber will be but trifling; and, while we cannot per
suade ourselves that Ih&'change-necessarUy made will re*
suit iu any diminution of our daily circulation, yet, were
we certain that soch would lie the consequence, we would
still be compelled to make it, or suffer a ruinous loss.
Under there circumstances we must throw ourselves upon
the generosity, or, rather, the justico of the public, and
abide their verdict, whatever it may be. ! .
The period for which many of our subscribers have paid
for their paper beiog on the eve. of expiring, we take the
liberty o* issuing this notice, reminding them of the same,
in order that tboy may
RENEW THEIR CLUBS.
We shall also take it as an’especial favor if onr present
subscribers will urge apon their neighbors- the iaot
the Patriot and Union is the only Democratic paper printed
in Harrisburg, end considering the large amount of read*
log matter, embracing all the current news of the day,and
TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES.
from everywhere up to the moment the paper goes to press,

There la scarcely a village or town in the State in which
a club cannot be raised if the proper exertion be made, and
sorely there are few places in which one or more energetic
men cannot be fonnd who are iu favor of the dissemination
of sound Democratic doctrines, would be willing tQ
make the effort to raise a club.
