We find in one of our exchanges the fol lowing advertisement of an absconding wife by a bereaved husband : My wife has left my bed and board, For a few days, a few days, She left it on her own accord, When I was out from home. I caution all to this amount, Now-a-days, now-a-days, Don't trust her now on my account, For she's never coming home. MARTIN DECKER. Healthfulness of Apples. There is scarcely an article of vegeta-!nr:van fele food, says Ball's Journal of HcaWi wore wiuury uauiui, uuu more uuiversanj ioved than tho apple. Why every far- j taer in the nation has not an apple orch-; At "11 11 "I ara, wnere tne trees win grow at an w IB one of tho myi-teries. Let every family lay in from two to ten or more barrels, aad it will be to them the most economi cal investment in the whole range of culi naries. A raw, mellow apple is digested in an hour and a half, while boiled cab bage requires five hours. The most heal thy desert which can be placed on a table, is a baked apple. If taken freely at breakfast, with coarse bread and butter, without meat or flesh of any kind, it has an admirable effect on the general svstera, often removes constipation, correcting a idities, and cooling off febrile conditions en ore effectually than the most approved iBodicincs. If families could be induced to substitute the apple sound, ripe and luscious for the pies, cakes, candies, sweetmeats, with which their children are too often indiscreetly stuffed, there would be a diminution in the sum total of- doc tor's bills in a single year, cuffieient to lay in a stock of this delicious fruit for a whole season's use. Cinders fes Pigs. J. J. Mechi of Triptree Hall, England, aas been publishing hisjesperience in fat tening swine, and, among other things, be has learned the fact, "that pigs are ver? fond of coal ashes or cinders, and thai yoti can hardly fat pigs properly on boarded floors without giving them a oderate supply daily or occasionally." He says : "In the absence of coal a-bes, bamed clay or brick dust is a good sub stitute. If you do not supply aches they will gnaw or eat the brick walls of their sheds. I leave to science to explain the caase of Ibis want. It is notorious that eoal dealers, where pigs have access to the coals, are generally successful pig feeders. Those who find that their pigs when shut up, do not progress favorably, will do well to try this plan. A neigb bor of nine found that a score of fat pigs oosassed quite a basket of burned clay; ashes daily. Wo know that there is an abundance of alkali in ashes.' Taking "Cold.

I had a situation as lieutenant of police, and in obedienco to orders I proceeded to Now York in search of the forger. It was my first evening in town, and as I was sitting within the friendly walls of the St. Nioholas, wrapped in a oloud of tobacco smoke and a fine speoimen of the latest style 01 raise wnisKers ana mous- tache, I saw enter a very dear friend, from whom two year before 1 hsd part- ed in California. i As ha nasnnri ho danced nfc mo. hnf. r o did not recognize me. I was glad of it, for it assured me that my false whiskers would bo a valuable aid to me as a dis guise in the search which on the next day I intended to commence. My friend ligtcd a cigar, and seated himself somo distance from me. As I couldn't aUow the opportunity of speaking to him pass by, I went towards him and said : "Good evening? Mr. Markham." "Good evening, sir;" he replied, at the same time looking at me as if endeavor ing to recall my countenance. "When did you return from Eldorado?'' I asked of him. "A week ago; but really you have the advantage over me, inasmuch as you are acquainted with my name, while I do not recognizo you." "Is that the case !" "It is, ifir. "Don't you remember me?" No, sir, I do not," he replied.

"Harry Evans, by all that's powerful," he exclaimed, as he grasped my hand and shook it until I feared that when he should release it my fingers would drop off. ' "But what is the meaning of all this; where did jou come from, and what are you up to that you must disguise yourself so that your friends don't know you?" On promise of secrecy, and in a few words I told him what business I had be fore me. When I ended he cried out : "By Jove, Harry, of all the men in the city you are the one I am most delighted to sec; for there is a little matter which is precisely in your line that I want at tended to." I assured him that nothing would af ford me more pleasure than to serve him in any way which might be in my power. Having ordered some champagne and fresh cigars, he told me of the work which be had for me to do, and I will repeat the story as near as possible in bis own words : "It is just a week since I arrived here with good health and plenty of money a combination of circumstances which I consider particularly fortunate and last night the trouble happened which I want you to set right. "During the evening, having nothing better to do, I strolled into Burton's to to witness bim in one of his inimitable performances. Next to me was seated a lady who was neatly but rather showi ly dressed and who appeared not to be acoompanied by any one. Moreover, she was exceedingly hand some, and having by some chance enter ed into conversation with ber, I found ber also very interesting. What started our acquaintance I cannot remembcr.although I think it rose from somo remark wnicu she made to me but at any rate she was 'quite agreeable. "When the performance was about half through she suddenly complained of feel ing faint, and asked me if I would accom pany ber where she oould get some frosh air. I did so, and it appeared to revive her, but after a few minutes she appeared to grow worse.andspeaking to a small boy who was standing near, she asked him to call a carriage.

She had expected to meet her husband at the theater, and did not knoaajfwhy he had not been there. He was a lawyer, and perhaps his business bad detained bim. Thus passod a quarter of an hour. "At the end of that time I heard steps coming along the hall; they stopped at the parlor door and the knob was turned, but the door would not yield. Then a heavy voice exclaimed, "Open this door' This was followed by a strong kick. "At the same time tho lady oried out, 'My God 1 it is my husband the door iB locked; he is terribly jealous be will kill you; and fell faiuting into my arms.

You shill die !' "The wife sprang from my arms, and seized the barrel of a pistol with each band.

"Have you mentioned tho affair to any one?" I asked him. "No, you aro the first.

I promised that if he would do so I would run the game to cover, and he should be in at the death. Accordingly he turned upon his steps and in a few minutes was out of sight. As soon as he was gone I walked for ward briskly till I had reached the pink bonnet. I continued behind her long 0 nough to impress myself with the appear anoe of her attire, and then passing her I walked Bwiftly on until I was about three or four rods ahead of her, when I stopped in the doorway of a store, and appeared to be intently examining the articles through the side window. As she oame toward me I obtained a fine view of her face, which, was very handsome, and when she had passed, I dropped behind and followed ber at a reasonable distance, until she stopped at a confectioner's. Ob serving opposite an apothecary's, a sud den thought came to mo, following which, I hurried over and puichased a bottle of strong "Spirits of Ammonia," resolving that if while in my presence she should meet with a fainting turn, she should meet with a most powerful and perhaps not very agreeable revival. After leaving the confectioner's she kept on until she reaohed Ordway's, which she entered I following. Just within the outer door I designedly placed cay foot upon the skirt of her dress. Eip went tho stitches, and my first stroke was struck. I apologised tremendously, and assisted her in its restoration. When it was done she enquired if I I would do her a little favor. "A thousand, if you wish me," I an swered. "Would you bo so very kind as to pur chase for me my ticket?" at the same time putting tier tiand in her pccliet. i Suddenly, however, she withdrew it with the exclamation, "Heavens I havo lost my portmonnaie: what shall I do? I "I am truly sorry for your loss' said 1, "but that shall not prevent you irom at tending the performance," and hastening to the office I purchased two tickots, and returning to her, placed one in her hand.

The happy pair were accompa nied by a sister of the girl a tall, gaunt, sbarp-featured female of some thirty-seven summers. The pair crossed the line, were married, and returned to Wellsville to pass the night. People at the hotel where the wodding party, stopped ob served that they conducted themselves in a rather singular manner. The husband would take bis sister-in-law, the tall fe male aforesaid, into one corner of the parlor and talk earnestly tohcr, gesticu lating wildly the while. Then the tall female would "put her foot down" and talk to him in an angry and excited man nor. Then the husband would tako bis fair, young bride, into a corner, but he oould no sooner commonce talking to her, than the gaunt sister would rush in be tween them and angrily join in the con versation.
