Duy a lew tons or hay every winter, I
can see to my great ..annoyance, the
difference between it and that raised
upon my own farm. The butter turns
several shades lighter in color, and it
is onlyby cutting-the hay .and mixing
with roots and meal, that the cows can
be induced to eat it. If fed to them
uncut, they nose it about, interviewing
each stem, and seem to say by look arid
gesture, "Bad. luck to. the-man that
made this hay." I really feel ashamed
to set it before them, and cannot look
them square in the eye with a clear
conscience. -Host farmers in this vi
cinity commence haying about the mid
dle of July, because they think-hay cut
then weighs heavier than if cut earlier.'
This may all be truVabd where the
hay is to be sold at $25 per ten, every
extra pound counts, and Nthat is the
their hay, as twenty pounds of green
oak wood to each bale worksoff a quan
ty of cord wood at the .Jsamo: prioe as
hay. But is it honest to' do flo'? ' And
is it honest to leave hay out until it is
little better than sticks because" " it
weighs more ? The great scaroity and
high price of hay will induce many
farmers to cast about for all sorts of
substitutes, such as straw and bran or
meal. Cattle need a large : amount, of
bulky food, and they ought to have it
Thoroughbred stock especially should
have all the coarse fodder they will eat,
and roots end meal by way of.condi?
ments. A oow.with a well filled paunch,
distended to its natural size, is a
pleasant object to 'behold ; but when
fed principally upon concentrated food,
she will soon look like a race-horse or
grayhound. Early cut hay, especially
clover, is undoubtedly the -best and
cheapest food the stock former' :can

t ;About'fMif yearsgs; says the xMil
waukee Wisconsin, a young and stal-.
wart Oefcman, named Frits'' Sohonman,
left his native-land to seek his fortune,
in the nffw world. H9 delayed not. upon
reaching New York, -but straightway
came to Milwaukee, having heard .that
it wotilrl "prove in many respects a sfeo-v
ond fatherland tjhim..y. He .entered the
employ of Best's. Browing . Company,
where he has" steadily l-emained ever
since, 'constantly., rising .in the 'good
wishes jpf his employers. ' Being of an
industrious disposition, rind but little
inclined to squander his e'drhings, he
soon put by a snug little sum, entirely
sufficient to warrant'lflrn in entering the
matrimonial market, and accordingly
Jiis friends advised him so to do, assur
ing him that his good looks, Honest
manner and business activity would
enable him to- secure- a prize from
among the many red cheeked Teuton
damsels who owoj, won't "to " smile on
him. ,' - ' ."?"'
But to all suggestions fritz gave, an
unneeaing earwrftii at length it was
suggested that ,he had left some bloom
ing damsel, away across the water, into
whose watchful keeping he had entrusted
his heart. When Frita was acoused of
such a deed heblushingly acknowledged'
it, and stated that he was working and
SaVing'in .order that he might, bring
Katrina here, ; marry her,- purchase a
comfortable home and settle down to a
happy life, and aspire to the positjonof
Alttorman jrom the lentil .Ward. -.
'When (he-fact became known, Fritz's
faithfulness was highly.: prized, - and
quite an interest was taken in the com
ing .of. -the' -beloved Katrina..
.Thus matters went on until about
one month ago( with, joyful heart and
a considerableiAmoilut of menev, Fritz
purchased a passage in- a -good steamer
fro in Germany to-Amerioa, and sent
word for Katrina to come immediately.
, The: time that-intervened- between
this day and yesterday. (when' Katrina
was expected to" reach Milwaukee)
was principally, .occupied by Fritz in
endeavoring to-, appear r natnr-al and
easy, but with poor sueces, -B anx
lojia 'joy was plainly -.depicted in every
lineament of hrs trood natnred face.
Yesterday he, kroompanT with' a large

clasped about his neck and" would not

The girl was dead, having literally

'-..'-
' I began to go into, the kitchens., of
friends to learn about the Chinese be
fore hiring any myself. As to the man
ner" cf engaging them, there are plenty
f Intelligence offices, but the most ex
peditions way is to go to the front door
and beckon one in ; they perambulate
the streets in gangs of three pr four,
and, .as you cannot look bnt without
seeing - one or more, a mistress of a
house need never be without a China
boy. The average wages for a good
cook are $30 a month. A boy to do
chamber work, i?" "he don't speak much
English, is not paid more than $5 a
month. But right here let me tell the
whole truth : good cooks are almost as
scarce as diamond deposits between the
Battery and Trinity Church ; further
more, California women pay higher
wages and do more housework them
solves. while -said servants stand and
look on, than any women I have ever
seen anywhere, . In the first, place, the
most exee.llent Chinaboy withdraws
himself from the house immediately
after dinner, which is eaten in this city
at six o'clock generally. Any service
required after that hour, such as bring
ing coal, water, or answering door-bells,
the lady uncomplainingly does herself,
foc.no -dear young Chiuaboy will serve
after nightfall. He is expected to come
early enoneh in the morning to lich
the fires and got the breakfast. If he
does not (and six times in ten he doesn't),
she gets breakfast, herself. They, the
Chinese, as I have said, seldom or nevei
sleep in the house. The baggaaro "-"-h
which they enter a place' consists solely
ef an apron ; ana as mey nave no uis
finctive names, being ' always Lee,
Chung, Wang, Wing, Sing, Chang, or
the like, they have nd foothold any
where, and when they disappear it
almost . impossible to trace them, the
which is frequently desirable to do, as
their exodus from a house is almost
always coeval with the vanishing
of
some trinketor triflinsr sum of money.
They all look alike, and the. names they
give are equal to our John, ona, Joe,
etc., so that-amidst the swarms of tiui
, nese one can never trace them.
They come over to this country by
the thousands. All the English they
are. taught' is,' " How you call 'im 1
and then they are scattered broadcast
throughout, the country as first-class
English-speaking cooks.
" I got even with one of "em," said a
dyer housekeeper to me.
,"How?"
. ". Why, I .got kind of tired of teach
iner soiiianv of them oookinsr and Encr.
lish for nothing, and they only stayed
long enough' with me to learn how to
do thin C3 : so ona name nun dnr. and
as usual, he didn't know the first ghost
of 'an "English phrase except, 'How
you call 'iin ?' So, real sick at heart,
sits down and I says, I'm tired of
teaching English and cooking for noth
ing. Surely the intelligence of the
average New York woman (for I was a
JNew Jtorker) is equal to that of a kitch
en Chinaboy. If so, it stands to reason
that if he can learn English I can learn
Chinese I 8o, instead of having him to
say to me all the time, ' How you call
'im ?' . how you call 'im ? I says to
him, How you call 'im ?' how you call
im ? and I made him tell me in Chi
nese. That Chinaboy stayed with me
three months trying to learn English,
but he didn't learn a word, and I picked
to them. No Chinaboy has ever learned
any ingnsh from me since. But oh

What Came of Casting a Shoo.
The practice which prevails at wed
dings of throwing old shoes after the
carriage which bears away the bride and
bridegroom is. no doubt, from its an
tiquity, deserving of veneration, but it
may be carried too far, and, it is at
times not only inconvenient, but dan
gerous. At a wedding which took place
reoently at Leamington, England, a
serious accident occurred, and the lives
ot three persons wore nearly sacrificed
by the observance of the time-honored
custom. It seems that, as the bride and
bridegroom were taking their departure
after the wedding-breakfast, a volley of
old shoes was discharged at them, with
the addition of a quantity of rice. This
evidence of- kindly feeling, however
highly appreciated by the newly-married
couple, was, unfortunately, mis
understood by the horse attached to the
vehicle in which they were seated, who
showed his disapproval by bolting. The
consequences were not such as can be
said to have added much to the happi
ness of the occasion. The driver was
thrown from his box, and the carriage
passed over him. The carriage itself
came into collision with a cab, was cap
sized and smashed to pieces. The
bridegroom was pitched out of the win
dow, receiving a scalp wound, and now
lies in a precarious condition. The
bride was, of course, terribly shaken,
bnt happily escaped further injury.
The moral of which is, either hitch to
the wedding-carriage horses that won't
scare worth a cent, or cast no old shoes
after the bridal party.
A Veteran Newspaper Man.
A New York correspondent writing to
his journal in the West, makes the fol
lowing notice of a well-known gentle
man of that city, who, for the last
twenty-five years, has done business
with the press of the country :
"S. M. Pettengill, the well-known
advertising agent, and the head of
houses bearing his name in New York,
Boston and Philadelphia, is the veteran
in the business. While he has laid up
treasures here below he has fairly
earned by his untiring energy and
honesty in business every cent thereof,
and every dollar that he has made has
carried with it the respect and con-
fidenceof both nnKI,'0" o-'""-lser.
To-day Mr. Pettongill is as un
tiring and energetic in his business as
ever, meets publishers with the same
urbanity and kindly greeting as of yore,'
himself superintends every department
of his large offices, and does a
larger amount of advertising than any
houBe in the country. No publisher
that we have heard of ever had occasion
to complain of S. M. Pettengill, and it
is a pleasure to us to listen to the
kindly words uttered by the press of
the nation. We trust that he may live
for many years to wear these honors
which he does so gracefully and so
successfully."

How sad it is to look around ns and
compare the frail and effeminate look
ing lady of to-day with the hale, hearty
and buxom ladies of days gone by. To
all such the late discovery of Dr. Wai
HEb, of California, which is known as
Vinkoab Bitters, is a priceless boon in
deed For this class of diseases it is
certain and safe, and any lady, old or
young, can take it with entire confi
dence in the result, and thus avoid
what to thousands is a stumbling block
never overcome, viz. a consultation
with a family physician. 'Tis true
there may be cases of years standing,
that will necessitate more powerful
treatment, but in nine cases out of ten
this remedy will reach the disease, and
after a little timo effect a cure. The

For various diseases, suoh as rheumatism,

convinced that there ia no remedy before the

thousands entertain the same belief. Certainly,
we cannot refer to the history of any medicine
which equals that of the Paih-Killeb. It was
introduced in 1840, and frbm that time to this
its sale, both at home and abroad, has con
stantly and rapidly increased, and we rejoice
at the high reputation it has achieved, because
