Young I'igB nre scarce this spring nnd are likely to be still scarcer next fall. It will pay to give them good care and liberal treatment. Brains as well as muscles nre required on the farm. This is getting to be more and more the case every year with the introduction of more au'd better machinery. Horses are required to work very hard this month. Feed liberally, nnil be very careful to clean them after the day's work is done, so that they will get o good night's rest. High wages are a great blessing, pro vided the men can earn them. Tem porary high prices, whether of wages or of commodities, obtained by strikes or combinations which check 5rodnc tion, are n cur.se to individuals and communities.

Plmii-Cnke Without lintlrr. For a large plum-cake allow oue pound tif sifted Hour, one pound of nice sugar, two pounds of bloom raisins, two pounds of currants, one half-pound of citron cut into small strips, a table spoonful of nutmeg grated, same quan tity of any other spice one's taste dic tates, a wine-glass full of good brandy, and the same quantity of extract of lemon. Beat. the yolks and whites of twelve eggs sejiarately until the whites are a stiff froth and the yolks light and smooth. Now comes in the peculiar feature of this cake : Have the children pick out two pounds of walnut "goodies," which are rich enough to make the cake nice without butter. Kow mix all your raisins, currants, waluuts, etc., together, so they will be evenly interspersed through the batter, which must be mixed exactly like n sponge-cake batter. And the currants must bo picked and washed, dried be fore the tire, and then dredged with flour. Also the raisins must be seeded, dried, and dredged with flour, and the citron dredged with flour ; but put the walnut kernels in just as they are. Mix in all the ingredients this calls for, and your batter will be stiff with " goodies," ?". fiIJ your cake-l)au 0'er two-thirds full, allowing some room to rise, but near enough the top of the pan for the batter to catch the heat over the sur faco as soon as put in the stove. A Summer Whitewash. To make a good whitewash for out side work, take half a bushel of quick lime, (or in that proportion,) and slack it in the usual manner with boiling water. Add to it one pound of common salt, half a pound of white vitriol, and one gallon of sweet milk. The salt should be dissolved, and so should the vitriol, before mixing it. The sooner the wash is applied the better. A little liquid indigo or Prussian blue will tint it, else lampback, brown sienna, oclire, &o. Dissolve some alum, and add to the mixture, and the whitewash will not rub off. Some people add a pint of molasses (instead of the alum) to every three gallons of wash, to make the lat ter stick. A whitewash for wood, brick, or stone, almost as good as paint, and looking as well, may be made by slack ing the half bushel of lime in boiling water as above, keeping it covered dur ing the process. Then strain it, and add a peck of suit previously dissolved in warm water. Then add, also three pounds ground rice that has been put into boiling water and boiled to a thin paste ; half a pound jiowdered Spanish whiting, and a pound of clear glue dis solved in warm water. Mix all well to gether, mid let the mixture stand for several days. Keep this wash ready in a kettle, and when used, put it oiThot as possible, with paint or whitewash brushes. Dreakv Homes. Of all the dreary places, deliver us from the dreary farm houses which so many people call "home." Bars for a front gate ; chick ens wallowing before the front door ; pig-pens elbowing the house in the rear ; scraggy trees never cared for, or no trees at all ; no flowering shrubs, no neatness, no trimness. And yet a lawn, and trees, and a neat walk, and a pleas ant porch, and a plain fence around, do not cost a great deal. They can be se cured little by little, at odd times, and the expense hardly felt. And if the time comes when it is best to sell the farm, fifty dollars so invested will often bring back live hundred. For a man is wrong who will not insensibly give a higher price for such a farm when lie thinks of the pleasant surroundings it offers his wife and children. Hon.

How many of the readers have ever heard the tragic story of Agnes Ber nauer ? It is such a tale of deep, earn est love, of brave devotion, of fierce persecution and of fiendish cruelty as is often found in the pages of romance, but rarely, we are glad to say, in au thentic form in history. The records of the Middle Ages do certainly contain nccouuts terribly enough of man's in humanity to those of his own kind, but there nre few of the legends which have come down to us from those turbulent and troubled times, with an assurance of truthfulness, in which two true lovers appear as the victims of such dreadful brutality, excited merely by their fer vent passion for each other. In the fifteenth century the present kingdom of Bavaria was a dukedom. It was while Duke Ernst was at the head of the government that A"Hes Bernauer's sufferings won 'l0T herim mortalitv Duke Ernst hai nu oniy 8on named Ailment. Ho was young, hand-s'-lle and chivalrous, and ho seems to navo been a man of most generous im pulses and capable of the loftiest self sacrifice. There was a grand tourna ment at Augsbure, given by the duke and attended by all the nobility and geii tryof the country. Therewere'hundreds of knights, in all their glittering para phernalia, curvetting nbout the arena upon their magnificently -caparisoned horses, while around them were seated thousands of ladies in gorgeous attire, attended by brilliantly-dressed gentle men. Besides these, the common folk attended in vost multitudes, and crowd ed into the space left for them by the noble giver of the entertainment. Among the knights the duke's son was most conspicuous, not only for the splendor of his attire, but for the beauty of his countenance, his manly bearing and his gallant achievements in the combat with the other knights. While sitting upon his horse conversing with his attendants, he was attracted by the sweet faco of a young girl who' was standing in the crowd of the humbled and untitled, which pushed and jostled and kept up a noisy conversation at the boundary of the rena. She was look ing intently at him, as if in rapturous admiration of his noble appearance, and as he in turn gazed nt her, she bowed her head and blushed deeply. lie thought he had never beheld a face so pure and lovely as hers, nor had never seen among the beauties of his father's court a woman in whom such charming simplicity was united with such ex quisite grace of face nnd figure. With his heart suddenly fired by a new and strange and wonderful passion, he in stantly adopted measures to ascertain her identity. It was discovered that her nanio was Agnes Bcrnauer, and that she was the .laughter ot a very poor and humble citizen of Augsburg. Once in posses sion ot this tact, Alhrecht did not fail soon to obtain an introduction to her home. He found her a woman of hicrh intelligence, of exalted character and of devout religious convictions ; and more than ever charmed with the beauty of person which was the outward significa tion of a noble moral and intellectual character, he wooed her fervently, and won her consent to become his wife. There could be no doubt that the duke would oppose and prevent the marriage of his son with a woman of lowly birth, if he knew that such an event was threatened, and so the two were secretly united, and the happy husband bore his wife to the castle of Vohburg, which he had inherited from his mother. This home he filled with everything that could contribute to the pleasure of his bride; and there, in luxurious retirement, amid noble for ests, rich flower-gardens and orchards, elegant pictures and statues, and with all the appliances of wealth at their command, they lived for many months in undisturbed happiness. The end of this felicity was sure to come right speedily. The young man's father determined that he should mar ry, and lie selected for the wife of his son, Anna, the daughter of the duke of Brunswick. When the subject was broached to Albrecht, he displayed the most determined opposition to the match, and at last, in response to the imperative command of Duke Ernst that the marriage should take place, he refused positively and absolutely to have anything to do with the bride selected for him, or even to listen further to any discussion of the subject. The manner of the young man excited the suspicion of the father, and a quiet investigation revealed the presence of Acmes at the Vohburg castle, and the fact that Al hrecht was violently enamored of her. The duke at once determined to adopt the most energetic measures to dissolve the relations of the two. A tournament was given at Regeusburg, at which Al brecht was to appear, but the father contrived that the lists should be shut against the son upon the charge that, in violation of the rules of chivulry, he was living with one who was not his wife. Albrecht declared that Agnes was his wife, and demanded that the lists should be opened to him. But in vain ; he was still excluded. The young man hesitated no longer. He now made Agnes to be openly hon ored as Duchess of Bavaria. He gave her a vast retinue of servants, and he placed her amid appropriate splendor in the castle of Straubing, where he resided with her. She, poor woman ! seems to have had a haunting fear of the dark and dreadful fate in store for her, and she gave much of her life to the performance of acts of charity and religious devotion, erecting an oratory and tomb for herself in the Carmelite convent of the place. The brother of Duke Ernst was friendly to Albrecht, and as long as the uncle of the youth lived, the father dared not attempt any act of violence. But soon he was removed by death, and then the infamous and bloody work began. Agnes was accused of sorcery, and she was charged with having by impious acts bewitched her husband. She was seized by the duke's order while Albrecht was absent from home, and the command was issued that she should be executed without delay. Upon the twelfth day of October, 1135, she was bound hand and foot, and car ried by the state executioners to the bridge of the Danube, and in the pres ence of all the people of the town she was tossed headlong into the stream. She sank for an instant, and then, as her body came to the surface, her cloth ing sustained her, and she floated slowly to the bank of the river. Then the executioners, acting by direction of the Duke Ernst, seize 1 a long pole, and fastening the end of it rudely in her fair and golden hair, thrust her head beneath the water, and held her there until she was drowned. When her husband returned and heard of this monstrous crime, he near ly lost his reason. Maddened by the deep and horrible wrong done to him and to her he loved so well, he took up arms against his father, and in. league with the other enemies of Duke Ernst, he wasted and devastated the country. It was in vain that the father entreated his son to relent j the war was conduct ed with fury by the young knight, and not until n vast amount of injury had been inflicted upon Bavariadid Albrecht yield to the solicitations of the emperor Sigismund and other powerful friends of the family. He returned to his fath er's conit, and after the lapse of several years he consented to marry Anna of Brunswick. To regain the forfeited es teem of his son, Duke Ernst had a chapel erected over the remains of the" murdered girl, and Albrecht founded in the year of liet death daily masses for her in the Carmelite convent of Straub ing. Even after twelve yeors ho renewed the foundation, and had the bones of her whom he called his " honored wife" transferred to the tomb provided for herself, and covered with a marblenion uinent. This poinful storv win Inno- flip tli Ci popular Bongiu Germany, and it has been made the subject of more than one drama. But the narrative itself is tragic enough without embellishment to excite intense sympathy for the unhappy wo man who was sacrificed. Cnidalu Hall's Death.

The Polaris is without boats. Of the two landed on the ice with Captain Ty son, one was burned to make water lor the crew and the other is now in Bay Huberts. The crew lost the vessel on the 15th of October, 1872, and were picked up last April by the Tigress in latitude 53 deg. 31) min., having been 1K7 days on the ice. No lives were lost. When last on board she made no more water than during the past winter and fall, but had received heavy injuries to her stern, causing her to leak badly. The names of the crew here are: Cap tain Tyson, Fred Meyer, John Heron, W. C. Kruger, Fred Authing, Gustavus Singuist, Peter Johnson, William Jack son, the Esquimaux Joe, Hannah and child, Hans Christian, of Dr. Kane's expedition, wife and four children, the youngest only eight months old. The Polaris is in charge of Captain Buddington. The crew have lived on a few ounces daily, and latterly on raw seals, eating skins, entrails, and all, for the past two months, and are all in fair ly good health. Captain Tyson does not expect the Polaris will get clear be fore July, if in condition to come home. There were fourteen left on board, with plenty of provisions. If the vessel be not fit to come home, they can easily construct boats for their safety. All are provided for in Bay Roberts, and will come here Monday. (Signed) T. N. Mat.loy, United States Consel. Death of John Stuart Mill. John Stuart Mill, the great English writer on philosophical and social ques tions, died at Avignon, in the south of France. His death will be felt as a great loss by educated men all over the world. Iu Great Britain, where his in fluence has been for many years so widely extended, there is no one who can fill his place. His was one of the great original minds of this century. His opinion on every vital question of the day was always anxiously sought for. Mr. Mill was born in 1800. Early in life he was remarkable for his thorough education. His father, James Mill, was a distinguished writer on philosophy and metaphysics. The name of John Stuart Mill is as familiar to everv student of metaohvsies or lorrin ns Hint of Sir William ifamilton or tjat of Lnianuel Kant. Jjut he was a founder of a new school in philosophy, not the follower of an old one; or, rather he so elaborated and added to his father's views, that the system was virtually a new one, and has become identified with his name. His "System of Logic," 1843, and "Principles of Political Econ qmy," 1849, are his most celebrated works. But his books on "Govern ment" and "Parliamentary Reform" nave hail a more general circulation. from the more popular character of the subjects treated ot. In the discussions in England a year or two ago as to the disposition ot the common lands, Mr. Mill expressed very radical views. He wished the lands to be parcelled out among the laboring classes. ills views have been adverse to the interests of the large lauded pro prietors, and by them have have been considered ot a revolutionary tendency. It is to be hoped that Mr. Mill has left some unpublished work behind him to lurther enrich posterity. How General Scott Escaped. General Scott, during the war of 1812, is said to have narrowly escaped a death similar to that which recently befel General Canby. The General was taken prisoner at the battle of Queens town, in which engagement the British had on their side a number of Indian auxiliaries. After the day was over, two savages, " Captain Jacobs" and loung Brant, came into his tent, osten sibly to see whether they had wounded him during the encounter of the day, as he had afforded such a splendid target that each had fired at him several times apiece. .One of them seized him by the back and attempted to turn aim. when he threw both with great force against the wall, and, seizing a sword, prepared to sell his life as dearly as possible. while they stood glowering, with their hands upon tomahawks and knives, waiting for the second when he should be on his guard. A British omcer en tered at that moment, and the life of the gallant American was saved, even had not his own valiant arm been sufficient to preserve it. A duel took place just beyond the city limits of Jtichmond, VaM between John B. Mordecai and Page McCarthy, in which both were severely woundeel. The difficulty originated about a lady. The seconda were arreted, Ucinlulsceneei of tlio Chief Justice, The sudden death of the Chief Justice has awakened many reminiscences of his administration of the Treasury De partment, and from them an estimate of his leading traits as an administrative officer is readily formed. When Mr. Chase took charge of the Treasury De partment the Government was without money, and its credit low. He had but six weeks of peace in which to learn the routine of business, and then had to provide for increased expenditure from a diminished revenue. In this work he never failed or flagged, nor lost sight of the least of those assisting him in doing it, or the means by which it was done. His powers of endurance, were wonder ful, and exceeded those of anybody about him. On one occasion he re minded the Assistant Secretary, Mr. Harrington, that iu coining to the De partment ten minutes late on that par ticular occasion ho was setting a bad example to the others, and, on that gen tleman excusing himself by saying that he had stayed at the Department nearly the whole of the preceding night, the Secretary replied that ho had been up all night himself, and was still there. One time his short-hand writer utterly broke down from protracted exertion, when Mi'. Chaso sent for another, and continued to dispose of business with unflagging ordor till the second gave up exhausted, and a third could not at the moment be had, when the Secretary went home for the remainder of the night. He was in those days a great drinker of tea, to which he then at tributed much of his strength, and his friends since, iu part, his paralytic dis order. The habits of the schoolmaster were, in some respects, fixed in him even at this late period of . public life. He was accustomed to keep a watch upon those he introduced into the De partment till satisfied that they would run without watching in the right grooves ; and, though he was often frank and cordial with his subordinates before the end of a lengthened inter view, he usually received them at the outset with the air of a monitor. He was notably a man of moods, and for that reason was generally opproached with misgivings ; yet he was never ac tually discourteous nor unjust, and al ways took a lively interest in those about him, remembering zeal and good service without solicitation. In 1803 the expenditures were enormous and the means of meeting them apparently all but exhausted. Night and morning the cry was for money to meet necessary expenses that could not be deferred, but in all the time ot the pressure he turned no business away from his desk, though he occasionally laid a letter aside for a second reading, his custom being to read carefully every paper presented for his signature, and even to make cor rections or improvements iu the gram matical form. One amusing incident is remembered by an old clerk in the De partment as occurring between " School master Chase" and the late George Wood, of literary memory. Mr. Wood had one of his letters returned to him with directions to change the word "by" to "with," but resisted the order by argumentation, until the Secretary settled the argument by quoting in il lustration of the difference between the words, the sentence, " these swords we gained our lands, and tvith them we will maintain what we have gained." lie entersd into the discussion of the details of army organization with an in terest equal to that of an army officer, and military consultations at the Treas ury were not infrequent at the Depart ment in the early days of the war. It was Mr. Chase who procured the ap pointment of Fighting Joe Hooker to the command of the Army of the Poto mac in Jonuary, 1803, and the Secretary of the Treasury was his one friend at court all the time he exercised the com mand. The downfall of Hooker greatly weakened the influence of Mr. Chase in the Cabinet, and, finding himself unable, at last, to protect his own friends in office under him, in positions where he was the best judge of their deservings, he left the Cabinet on a resignation, which Mr. Lincoln accepted under the advice of other Cabinet officers.

It has a head like that of a sea lion, and it looks like a gigan tic seal. It feeds upon the rank grass growing upon the marshes of the St. Lucie. The menatee has ribs as thick as a man's arm. Last year Dolph Sheldon and Frank Bams caught one alive near the mouth of the river, in tending to send it North for exhibition, The animal weighed over 1,500 pounds. Unfortunately it was tiod to the boat so firmly that the rope cut into its flesh, and it died before the party reached the head of Indian river. The porgies de voured the body. Florida is the only place iu which the menatee is found on the North American continent. Form erly it was abundant, but it is now nearly extinct, and becomes more scarce every year. Its meat is greatly relished, and tastes like the best New Y,ork beef. The whipparee resembles the stin garec. Its mouth is filled with two ivory rocks, and between them it cracks the clams on which it feeds. It reach es an enormous size. The porcupine-fish has a round bod filled with quills. It is small, and good for nothing. The cow-fish is a curious fish. It has the head of a pig, with two horns above the ears. On the botton it is as smooth as a fiat iron. The majarra is the shape of a shecps heud, and has a lustrous brown shading above the tail. It is as handsome as an angel fish, and is good eating. The spade-fish also looks like a sheeps head, but it has no hard fins. Losing their Property. A correspondent at Ellington, Otter tail county, Minnesota, says that with a number of other citizens ho settled there five years ago upon a piece of un surveyed land, and has lived thereon according to law. Time and again the settlers have applied for a survey, but they were put off on the plea that there was no money to pay for it. But now the hind has been muveyeil, and the Northern Pacific It dlroad has taken the odd sections, and all the settlers who have had the misfortune to settle on them must pay at railroad prices. The correspondent believes that they will be hardly treated by the Northern Pacific Company, but wo trust that such will not prove to be the case. It will cer tainly bo a great deal wiser for this great corporation to make the easiest possible terms with those who are in the condition of the correspondent and to gain their friendship, rather than to incur their just resentment by exacting from them the same rates for their hind as are exacted from new-comers who have done nothing to open and improve the country. Hot Sand Baths. A therapeutist of London thinks he hos discovered an infallible cure for rheumatism, namely, the administra tion of hot sand baths. He claims that the advantage of this mode of treatment consists, especially, in the fact that it loes not suppress perspiration like the hot water bath, but rather increases it ; md another advantage it possesses is, that it does not interfere with the res piration of the patient, as does the steam bath or Turkish bath. It is as serted that the body can endure the iu- tluence of such a bath for a much longer time, and a much higher temperature can be applied. It can be used for in- lants, and permits of easy application to a part or the whole body. If this remedy shall prove efficacious for so serious an ailment, it will, indeed, be a boon to a large class of sunerers.

Is there any (food reason why tho dictates of common sense should be disregarded in mediral practice ? Surely not. Yet bow literally they are sometimes set at nauflii iu the treatment of dys pepsia, liver complaint, constipation, nervous prostration and general debility. How often are powerful purgatives, emetics, and Buliv.ants given in cases of indigestion, bilious colic aud cBtive uebs, when tho disease has already robbed the patient of strength he needs to combat wita the attack. The absurdity of giving debilitating medi cines to sick pooplo who are too weak already, is so manifest, that it is astonishing how any sane man can believe in such practice. The rational course under such circumstances is to admisUr atonic aud regulating medicine, and the experi ence of a quarter of a century has proved that EuBtetter's Stomach Bitters is the most wholesome aud efficient preparation of this class to be found in the medic. rl repository. It is, however, some thing more than an iuvigoraut and a regulator. Its properties as an aperient and anti bilious agent; its utility when given as an anodyne, in stead of laudanum, or chloral, or digitalis, or dome other stupefying nacrottc; iti tranquiliztng ten dency in spasmodic affection, and its palatability, as contrasted with the sickening pills aud potions of the pharmacopeia, certainly entitle Hostett&r'a Bitters to be called the most comprehensive remedy in existence.
