MOTHER AUSTIN'S PLOT.
JULIUS AUSTIN was a rich farmer.
He owned many and fertile acres
near the city of Buffalo, into wbich a lad
drove, every morning throughout " the
season," with fruit and vegetables gather
ed from the " old Austin place," as the
farm was culled. J ulius was good-looking
enough, and in a general way, pretty
sensible; hut he had some Btriking pecu
liarities of character. He dressed with
such a critical observance of " the fash
ion," that when abroad, he might have
been considered a walking advertisement,
had his tailor's name only been append
ed to his habiliments'. And as to his
hair why, bless you, one would . think
that tho wind dared not touch it, ever so
lightly. ' Every particular hair always
kept itself in a just so sort of way, as
though it had been glued in position.
Julius was young, too certainly ' not
more than twenty-five or six, so that age
could not have rendered him what his
neighbors averred he was i " a man as
odd as the day was long."
One day Julius entered tho room where
his mother, who was the presiding genius
of his house, sat knitting with a gloomy
mien. ' He had been hoeing beans in
tho garden,- and his mother, from the
window where she was sitting, had no
ticed that every now and then he had
straightened himself, and with his left
hand resting on his hoe, had gesticulated
with his right and made sundry motions
with his head in a manner which con
vinced the old lady that " Julius had
something bearing heavily on his mind ;"
so she was not at all surprised when he
left his work and c&uio iuto the house.
But sho was not quite prepared for tho
announcement.
" Mother, I shall havo to got married."
" Law bless you, Julius how you do
talk !"
" It's just here," continued Julius, as
he twirled his hat on his left forefinger.,
" You know Molly is going to set up for
herself in a month, and you are troubled
so much with the rheumatism that you
won t bo able to get around to seo to
things, and Sally needs some one right at
her elbow. She don't cook worth a snap
since Molly has been busy over her wed
ding fixings, bho hnsu t brought in a
meal this fortnight that was fit to eat.
Why, the stomach of a horso couldn't
stand such puddings and pics ns sho
makes,
"Well," said Mrs. Austin, thoughtful
ly, " I s'pose all you'vo got to do is to
say the word. You and Bessie Barton
have been keeping steady company nigh
about a year."
" licssio Barton is no wife for me. - I
would as soon think of marrying Sally,
there in tho kitchen, as her."
Mrs. Austin dropped her knitting and
looked over her spectacles at her sou in
amazement.
"Why, Julius. What's the fuss?"
" There's been no great fuss, only I
told her that if John Gillman wants to
court her now as bad as ho used to, I
shan't stand in his way. To come to the
point, mother, 1 want a wile who knows
how to cook and fix all sorts of victuals,
and do it up brown, too ; and I've found
out that Bessie can't get up on ordinary
dinner thnt anybody but a starving man
could swallow.
" And you used to bo always harping
about the good dishes they served at
Henry Barton s.
" G uess you haven't heard me say any
thing about tho diuuer I ate there yester
day," said Julius, dryly, and Mrs. Austin
shoved her spectacles up over her fore
head and exclaimed :
" Boar me! Now, Julius you don't
say so !"
" Yes Ilenrv Would , hnv tun fdnv
Mrs. linrlon was tick abed, and the hired
girl was away, so I had a chance to find
out that the good dinners I'd had there
before weren't cooked by Miss Bessie, for
of all dinuers I ever tasted, my yester
day's one wai the cap-sheaf,' Tho beef
was burnt black, and tho pudding was
soggy, and the Salad Was enough to make
a dog sick."
" No wonder, Julius' said Mrs. Aus
tin, somewhat anxiously, for Bessie was
her particular favorite. , " No wonder,. I
should think, with her mother sick and
needing to be waited on' and tho girl
gone, uud hulf a dozun extra ' hands to
work in the harvest. One pair of bunds
can't do everything, nor ono, head think
of everything at ouce. 1 know that
much. , , . .,
"Nonsense, mother.' It's no more work
and I've heard more thai) , one say ao
to cook for , a dozen Jthau pue whop a
body is about it? Isn't it just as easy to
roast a large piece of meat as a small one,
and to stir up a big pudding as a little
one!" ... -: ! " :'.
This wan man's logio, and Mrs. Austin
being only a woman, of course could not
meet it; so she made no answer.
. To tell the truth," ''Julius pursued
With a small measure of embarrassment,
" I'm sorry 2-not thut I found it out, for
it's a lucky thing for iue that I did but
that it so, for in other respect Bessie is
as smart as steel." And Julius looked for
tie moment as '. though to , give, her up
ca lined hini real pain." -' ,'.
Mrs. Austiu was not so disappointed as
to lot the curiosity said to be to natural
to ber sex remain long dormant. ' ' -; j
" Well, Julius, who are you going to
marry ?" t , . ' .
" That's just what I don't know myself,
but I've hit on a plan by which I can get
the kind of wife I want without the both
er of courting. I've written an adver
tisement stating my needs, desires, fee,
and this afternoon I shall take it to the
printing office" ' '
Mrs. Austin dropped her knitting again
and ejaculated : :
" Bear mo, what is tho world coming
to f Here ho wants to do away with tho
good old fashion of courting, and marry a
perfect stranger. ; What heathenish non
sense V" ' f ii ...
"Old fogyism is passing away. The
world is . growing wiser," said Julius,
sagely as ho folded a closely written shcot
of paper whieh he deposited carefully in
his pocket, then tapping tha pocket sig
nificantly, he added, '-' This will get me a
wife that you will be proud of. Mark my
words about that." , ,, i . ,
While Julius , had been , conversing
with his mother he had . likewise been
busy in brushing his hair, adjusting his
collar and putting on his coat, and now
taking hjs hat and gloves, ho went out,
saddled a horse and took his way to the
city for the express and only purpose of
having his advertisement inserted in one
of the dailies.
Mrs. Austin watched him until he dis
appeared, with a troubled countenance,
then suddenly a shrewd smile flitted over
her face. She arose from her seat, say
ing: " Yes, Julius, I shall bo proud of the
wife that I am going to help you to get.
I know all about these things, and I'll
warrant Bessie was mortified near about
to death over that very dinner. She
knows how to cook. I've been thereto
tea when 1 know she made the cake and
biscuits and hnd them light and rich as a
cork and baked to a turn."
How much richness thero might or
might not be in a cork, Mrs. Austin did
not stop to consider, but telling Sally to
have the bay mare beforo tho huggy, the
little woman made herself ready for a
drive. ...
Tho next day Julius drew from his
pocket a nowpaper and showed his mother
a long and very explicit matrimonial ad
vertisement to which the not very poet
ical name, " l'cleg Pinchbeck," was affix
ed. : .
Suddenly Mrs. Austin was wonderful
ly taken up with her son's plan for get
ting a wife. "
" She couldn't see after all," sho said,
" why tho advertisement wouldn't be just
the thing." ;
- Ihe next duy brought n half dozen
letters in as many different styles of wri
ting in answer to tho advertisement.
Julius proudly showed them to his moth
er, who declared " that she was sure
every one of them came from somebody's
men lolks, the writing looked so man-
nun.
She excepted ono, however, which was
certainly delicately penned and signed
" A'ora Mead.
" You don't want to write to tho whole
posse, do you '(" said bis mother. " If I
were you I'd begin with this little dainty
ono.
So Dora Mead's letter received an
auswer. JMoro camo irom her and were
promptly replied to, and at the cud of a
ionnignt juuus leit intimately acquain
ted with a lady he had never seen. Ho
knew her ago, color of hair and eyes, and
what was of more satisfaction to him, ho
knew that she could prepare the most
tempting dishes fit for a prince, for by
his desire she had written out and sent
him her methods for making various sorts
of edibles. These recipes Mrs. Austin
hud indulged her son by " ti vuik, and
Julius bad been enchauted by the lus
cious results, and the happy lellow , was
sure that thus is the easiest muuner pos
sible he hud found a woman worthy to bo
his wile.
Julius was so perfectly satisfied thut he
did not ask permission, nor desire to see
the future Mrs. Julius until he should
see her in ber bridal robes. The day for
the wedding was finally set, and Julius
was a little surprised, and a good deal
vexed when Bora insisted upon the wed
ding taking place at Henry ' Barton's.
His family, she wrote, were the nearest
kin she had in the world, and since they
were perfectly williug, she should very
much prefer being . married at their
house. , .ill ii i r :
I don't believe,: I care anything for
Bessie now," muttered Julius, as ho read
Dor's letter. " I'm determined I won't
any way, since I am going to marry
another, but -, well, confound it, I
don't like the notion of having Bessie by
when I am married; but Bora seems so
set about (I I supposed I shull havo to,
let her have her way." . ,,
, Julius, was uncommonly serious and
reticent) as, with his mother by his side
be drove to the house of Heury . Burton
on the day appointed for his wedding.
He was going to the very house where
he had passed so many happy hours with
Bessie. Going there to be married, pot
to Lor, as his heart at this lute hour told
him he should be, but to "another, one
whom he had never" seen, about whom he
knew nothing save that' she' could name
ingredients, and the quantity of each,
necessary to make certain delectable dish
es, : Bu,t wus , not, this enough? , Julius
tried to reason with himself that it.wos.
He thought pfBessio' spoiled, dinner,
and tried to steel his heart more sorely
against her, but in vain, he was in Bes
sie's home breathing tho air she
breathed, seeing the scenes with which
sho was familiar. Her birds were sing
ing in the cage over his head, her flow
ers were blooming in tho window. Every
thing spoke to him of her, He felt that
moment that he loved her 'only; and he
was thinking of her when his thoughts
should have been given to his bride, un
til some one came for him. Tho few
guests who had been invited, old minis
ter, were waiting in the parlor, and the
bride was in readinoss. ...
Meohanically Julius followed his con
ductor to the room whero for the first
timo he was to . bohold his bride, The
door was thrown open, i His mother was
in the room looking mysteriously mirth
ful. Two or threo of tho neighbor's
girls, who, from their dress, wore to act
as bridesmaids, were there, and Bessie, al
so dressed fn white, with a few pale roses
in her hair.
But where was the bride ?
, Julius stood in awkward silence look
ing about the room.
" You wonder whero she is ; Dora
Mead I moan," said his mother. " Come,
Bessie, don't stand there blushing; so
come forward and let this dainty epicure
know how ho has beon outwitted."
Bessie looked almost ready to sink with
shame.' Covering her face with her
hands she dropped into a seat.
" Lawful sakes 1" said Mrs. Austin,
persuasively ;" you needn't take on so,
just because your name is Bessie Barton
instead of Dora Mead, and as for you,
Julius, I know by your looks that you're
anything but sorry that there's no Dora
here to meet you; though," she whisper
ed, " you'd better step up and ask her
over again."
And Julius was only too happy to do
as his mother suggested; and when ho
led his brido, blushing " celestial rosy
red" beforo the aged minister, who can
tell how many degrees happier he felt
than an hour be Core he hud ex pec tod
that the event of his marriage with Dora
Mead could make him.
The Dutchman's Clock.
4 DUTCHMAN being asked why
XJL ho did not have a clock in his
house explained it ns follows : " Val, you
see, do udder night after I shut up de

Determined to be Harried. -.
; A youthful couple, the boy sixteen, and
the girl probably fourteen, from a neigh
boring county in Kansas, presented them
selves before Jutsice liansom, of, Kansas
city, with the request that he should mar
ry them. Tie justice informed thorn
that he could not do so without the con
sent of their parents or guardiuns. The
boy was somewhat backward, but this
was no fuiling to the other. She told
the justice that she knew what sho was
about ; she had come to get married,' and
she intended to gothrough'with it. "Sure
enough, can't you marry us ?" she finally
exclaimed." No, sis, I cun't replied the
justice. With thut she Bailed out with
head erect, aaying, 'f Come on, John, we
can fiud some one who is not an particu
lar," And sure enough, in a few hours
she returned, all smiles, triumphantly
shaking hor finger at the justioo, saying,
f I told you ao; we're married, and . now
we'll go home."

SCIENTIFIC HEADING.
A Chapter on Needles. '
riIIE earliest needles mado were
X " square-eyed," a shape most read
ily produced. It was with square eyed
noodles that Mary Queen of Soots wrought
those boautiful tapestries for the walls of
her prison coll. After many fruitless at
tempts, drillod-eyod needles were success
fully brought out in 1820, and two years
later the burnishing machine, which gave
a beautiful finish to the eye, was intro
duced. In this later prooess, as now car
ried out, the noedles are threaded on
steol wires whieh have been " roughed"
with a file and hardened. The ends of
these wires ore then attached to a steam
machine by which the needles are made
to revolve at an enormous speed with ao
oscillating motion around tho wires.
Previous to tho year 1840, needles
were hardonod in wator, during which
process the majority became crooked, and ,
straightening the crooks was, in conse
quence, an occupation for a considerable
number of workpeople In tho year
mentioned, however, a Redditch manu
facturer revived tho practice of harden
ing in oil, and the result was that crooked
needles wore tho exception ' instead of
being the rule. This so exasperated the
crook straightonors that they mobbod the
enterprising manufacturer out of tho
town, and for some time great tumult
prevailed. Eventually, however, the re
vived process came to bo generally adopt
ed. ' A pointing machino is the latest
invention of importance in tho needle
trade. On this invention, Messrs. Bart- '
lett & Woodward two excellent author
ities thus reported a little while since :
The ncedlo-pointing machine is an
English invention, though it is not gener
ally supposed to be so ; hnd its forerunner
which, though not perfect, approached so
nearly to perfection as to alarm the point
ers, was somo years ago purchased by
them and broken to pieces on ltcdditch
Church Green. The needle-pointing
machine is only partly used in this dis
trict. A grooved grindstone, revolving
at great spead, is employed to grind tho
end of each wire iuto tho desired shape.
To this grindstone the wires are applied
from an iucliuod piano, on which a
number aro placed ready to cut to tho
length required. . By means of a diso,
surrounded with caout-chouc, revolving
slowly . in a direction transverso to the
grindstono, a continuous supply of wires
rapidly revolving in succession is sup
plied to the stono, aud the same disc
causes the wires to revolve whilo being
pointed. In lledditch aud tho neighbor
hood needlo-making now employs some
thing liko 800 workpeople, a considerable
proportion of , whom are females. The
earnings considerably vary, those of chil
dren ranging from Is. fid. to 5s., women,
8s. to 15s., and men, 12s. to 40s., per
week.
A needle has to pass through seventy
pairs of hands before it is considered to
be finished and ready for use; a subdi
vision of labor to which may be attributed
the combination of excellence and cheap
ness in tho production of these articles.
Discouraging to Boer Drinkers.
Genuine beer is as hard to find as pure
ale or porter. Not only aro malt and hop
beers largely adulterated, but beers are
made withe ut malt or hops. Sugar, hon
ey, molasses and liquorice are used for
malt; alum, opium, gontiun, quassia, aloes,
oocoulus, indious amura, tobacco, and
unux for hops; saltpeter, jalap, Bait,
maranta, green copperas, marble dust,
oyster-shells, egg-shells, sulphate of limo,
hartshorn shavings, nut-galls, pot-ash, so
da, ic, to prevent souring. Tha . beauti
ful cauliflower head olten comes from
green vitriol, alum and salt. The smack
of age, and tho tingle to the palate often
cornea from vitrioL Take your ale, beer
and porter if you will, but remember its
strength or intoxicating qualities may be
due to the deadly cocculuj indious, fox
glove, henbane, multum, and nux-vomica,
aud the uareotio power to opium, tobacco
and grains of paradise, smack your lips

there not death in the beer-mug? Dr.
E. G. Dalton.
3rAn Irishman one fine morning'
went out in search : of ' some game
on an estate where the game laws were
strictly enforced. Turning a ' sharp
corner, whom did he meet but the geutle
man who owned tho estate. Paddy, see
ing the game was up, coolly advanced to
ward the gentleman and said, " Tho top
of tho morping to your honor ! and what
brought your honor out so early this morn
ing ?" Tho gentleman replied by saying,
"Indeed, Paddy, I just strolled out to
Bee if I could find an appetite for my
breakfast;" and then eying Paddy rather
suspiciously, said, " and now, Paddy, what
brought you out so early this moruing?''
Paddy repliod, " Indade, your honor, I
just strolled out to see if I could find a
breakfast for my appetite." 11
