oet SOLE AGENT.
Perhaps lam a little too hasty, a
little too ready to light up at a min
utes nutite; bill mere are some
wortls lliat reem to me to carry an
especial prain of gunpowder in them,
and the above is one of the sort. To
have a person, after you have been
through u Ion-' explanation, ut his
lingers to his mental-ears and query
you thus, or worse still, "IIaow7" is
too exasjierating for human nature to
bear. Hut that is what John Strin
ger did to me, bendinp; his head a
little nearer, and speaking in an
absent, aggravating manner that tan
talized me beyond words.
You bcc John Stringer and I were
engaged: we'd been engaged for a
long time, and perhaps had got to be
a little too matter o' course to each
other.
Wc were sitting tlicfrc over the fire
after the old folks had gone to bed,
and I fell to telling him about Sophia
Mills' weddinz her white silk dress
her bridal cake, ami her bridesmaids
Irosted all over to match it. and I en
ded iu this way:
"Hut it don't make anv difference,
John, to people that love each other;
all that s o' no more account than
last year's snow drift. They could
be married in calico and homespun,
with feet on a ragcametlikc this.and
love each other jut as well."
"How?" said, John absently. He
was watching the coals flicker up and
die out again, and picmng up a stray
chin now and then to throw on the
embers a fashion he had when he
was thinking.
Now, I bad bad tho headache all
day, and I guess I wa3 rather more
tindery than usual, though I didn't
think so then ; but when John bent
his great broad shoulders over, as if
he bad 11 1 heard a wont I said, ami,
n fact, had something belter to occu
py his mind, I just fired up, and when
we parted that night, John and I had
our first and last quarrel.
My heart did not misgive me that,
when I saw John's great, tall figure
going out of the door, it was the last
ime he d lift the latch tor many a
vear, but so il was.
.... . .
lou sea 1 held my Head pretty
in those days, and wouldn't
show" that I was a bit cut up about
it, so I paired off with Mr.- - Plumber's
Jessie, a likely, spruce young follow
enough, but no more to be compared
with John than a cockle-shell is to a
brigantine.
Oh, well, mother sighed, and tried
right hard to bring us together again,
but it wasn't to be.
John was a powerful, muscular man,
and I useu to fee him go up the road
many a time when I was in tTie shed
milking, and, peeping out at him
through the chinks, I thought his
broad shoulders stooped more than ev
er, and his figure was growing more
stalky-like. Such an awkward fel
low as John was ! I came near rush
ing out on him once, with my sun
bonnet, ami my sieves rolled up, and
flinging my arms round his neck; but
John liked to sec folks lidyand I
never did it.
Jessie Plumber was the beau of
the village dapper, neat and dainty
as you please; And all the girls
thought 1 had come to my senses
when I oustcrcd 'em o' Jess. And
by and by it was Jess that came
sparking o' nights, and was so soft
spoken and pleasant that even moth
er forgot her vexation. (She always
set store by John, mother did).
Well, in the spring w e married, and I
bad a string of pearls and a real rilk
bridal dress, and felt kind o' lifted
when the gills crowded round me
and hoped I'd bo happy. I hoped
so, too ; I wasn't sure of it.
Remember the days that came
after, I can't recall one hard word I
ever heard troni Jess. We weren't
near enough to each other to quarrel ;
we just laid apart like iwo odd vol
umues; there w asn't any fire 'tw ixt
us, either love of laughing, whereas
John and I had always been bub
bling over one way and another.
I worked hard, for my silk dress
and necklace were all I had ol riches;
and I cut up my go A n one day to
make a cloak for the baby. You see,
I couldn't give up my pride, and was
jur-t as high spirtied as ever. Hut
our farm didn't DrosiKT. and Mrs.
Plumber came to live- with us, to
look after things she said and she
got to pitying him erer now and then
for marrying a poor wife, and oh
well what's tho use of talking?
something I couldn't help wishing
John Springer's strong shoulders
were at the wheel, when I was work
ing mvscli to death morning and
nights for nothing.
Then when the baby grew bigger,
I too"k to teaching an A 11 C class as
I used to before I ws married ; but
That little I knew had run wild
since then, and couldn't keep the boys
straight somehow ; and tho girls
didn't care about samplers, for the
sewing machine had ridden right
over fvcrthing. Then Jess fell ill of
the fever, and with all the funiiug
aud fretting and nursing of his moth
er, and with all my watching day and
night, somehow he slipped off be
i wee n us. Ana 1 lound mvselt a
widow, with the ill fared, wasted
farm on my hands, and Mother Plum
ber drizzling and maundering after
Jesse ia a w ay to break my heart.
Iut kept my spirit yet, and ad
vertised half the place for sale at the
Court House: for if I could sell it we
could skim thr ugh on an acre or two,
I thought.
Well, who d you stip.ioso came
over one sunny atternoon, as I was
standing in the kitchen? Who, to
be sure, but John Stringer, large as
life; a little gray, mayhap, and a lit
tle angular, but keen and strong as
ever. He d a use for that bit o' land
aud had his eye on it along back.
"Always was wanting what wasn't
his," mother Plumber said. She
owetl him a grudge for being more
forehanded than Jesse. It took a
deal of looking afrere, and surveying,
and the Lord knows what, to settle
The Eronosnie. of Life.
You tell ine that debt and despair
aro upon you; that when the clothes,
rent, fuel and lights are paid for you
have oulv six hundred dollars left
with to feed your family of eight,
and that it can't be done. I think
I have heard this story a thousand
times, and that I have written adrice
about it a hundred times. And as
the whole subject is very simple
must go over the same ground again
The largest item in your table ex
penses is meat. ISecf is high. In
our city markets a good steak
worth trom thirty to thirty-hve cents
per pound. Ueef steak for your fam
ily would alone cost for breakfast
and supper, more than two dollars,
and then, if you had a roast of sirloin
for dinner, that would cost nearly as
much more. So if that s the way to
live, you are managing well to get on
with $;00 per year.
Jiut do you know that there are
only sixty pounds of the sirloin which
is used for roast and steaks, in an ox
weighing eight hundred pounds?
1 here are other parts of the animal
good solid meat which sell for
five ?cnts a pound. Portions of the
neck, which, when properly cooked,
are the most nourishing parts of the
carcass, are sold for four or five cents
pound. One pound of this cut into
small pieces and boiled two hours in
three quarts of water in a close vessel
th five cents worth of potatoes,
it; and I used to see John Stringer's
stooping shoulders nnd broad felt hat
just dowu bevond tho rise ofthe med
ow, time aud "."rain. But he scarce
ever came near the door till cne day
I can't tell bow it was when the
settlements were to be made, I just
took baby tip-stairs and had a good
cry ; for thai bit o' land had been
Jesses tavorite piece, and mother
Plumber had been harrvius me all
day about it.
"the ways o I rovidenc arc so
strange," said mother Plumber, laying
her specs down a-top o' the bible, and
putting on that awful patient air that
was wearin? me to skin and bone
"past finding out. Now, if Jesse
had married Sophia Mills that was,
and you "
Hut I did not wait to hear any
more. As I say, I just caught up
baby and went off to the garret.
And while I sat by the cob-webbed
wiudow, Mrs. Barret Sophia Mills
that was went riding by in her new
spring wagon. She hd her half
frozen children, round and rosy as a
barrel of apples, with her. Sophia
nodded and smiled to some one com
ing up the road, and looked along I
saw John Stringer walking thought-tul-like,
right up to our gate, just as
he used to conic in cotirtinpr days
for John never had any foolish way
about him. 1 saw Sophia look back
at him as she and the children, with
their fluttering ribbons and gay ging
hams, disappeared at the turn of the
road. Then I smoothed my hair
and washed my face, and went down.
The time of settlement had come I
knew.
"Mary Ann," said John, gravely
"the lawyer will be here presently,
but I reckon wc can make it all clear
in our minds without his help. And
I've settled it in fact there are cer
tain conditions on which I'll take the
land if you'll agree."
Then I flew in a passion. "You've
been long enough making up your
mind," said I, "I don't throw my
land nt anybody' feet, and I havn't
aked anv favor of you leastwavs,
John Strimrc "
"Softly, there, softly?" savs John.
putting out his hand. "Don't be in
a hurry, little woman." "John
Stringer." savs I, all in a heat.
"you'rejust the same man yon were
years ago, w en you thought I was
Hying up every time vou got out of
temper yonrs(.if
"And weren't you, little woman ?"
said John, quite gravely. Don't two-
men folks alwavs like their own way
better than anything else ?"
1 ou don't know anything about
women," I ,Tied, "anymore than you
did then." "Ymi thriiio-lir T n-nntoii
silks an, furbelows more than

"Than you did me," said John
and riijht enough you was, too, if
jo" could ha' got 'em. I always
said s0, Mary Ann."
"-ny man with half an eye
would have known better," savs I,
holly.
How?" said John. His great
1,u'king figure lifted itself up, and he
looked at me with those sharp brown
c.ves that used to give me a start in
the old time. "How ?" he repeated
80ftlv. "Do vou mean to say I was
"istaken vears ajo
brown hand was all, of
he held it out to me. "Little woman!
little womon ! " savs he, let's ha'
done with it all now, nnd let it bo as
it never was."
Presently mother Plumber put her
head in the door. i
"Pears to mo that lawyer's making
a long spell of it." says she. "Ben't
you most tired of waitin'for him; Mr.
Stringer ?"
"I guess we've settled it pretty
much without the lawyer," says John
rising;
had to
you and the meadow land together."
And he did
a tremble as
"and that is the condition I
propose, .Marv Ann to take

turnips, parsnips and carrots, with
salt and pepper, and some savory
herb, would make a splendid dinner
for all of you. Lay bits of toasted
bread upon the platter, and then pour,
on your stew. That's a dinner fit for
a king.
Everybody likes variety. Well
purchase next day a knuckle of veal,
which will cost you, all told ten cents,
and which your wife will treat in the
same way as the beef, except that
she will leave out the carrots and
parsnips and put in bits of toast
ed Iread or dumpling.
The next day try a bit ofthe fore
shoulder of a sheep, which is very
cheap. When mutton chops were
selling for twenty cents a pound, I
have seen mutton foreshoulder, of
fair quality, selling for two cents.!
It is a part which is always very
cheap. Cut up into bits, and cooked
as above, a grand dinner for the
eight members of vour family can be
ot up for a quarter of a dollar.
And of these stews may be made
into a baked meat pie, bv way of
variety.
I have given these by way of illus-
tr ation. i on needn t have the same
dinner twice in a month. Fish may
be employed occasional! v, and some
excellent sorts are very cheap.
But these preparations of meat3
are comparatively expensive. That
beautiful white sMahernto n, cracked
wheat oatmeal, beans and other simi
lar foods are very cheap. A break
fast of oatmeal and white corn, with
a little milk, wouid cost for your
whole family not more than ten cents
and it would be a breakfast on which
you could all work bard. Skipping
the dinner, which has been alreadv
discussed, let us consider for a mo
ment the supper. If you keep a cow
as every man properly located with
a family of children should a bow
of bread and milk, or some warmed
up bean porridge and a cup of tea
will satisfy you.
Such food as I have thus hinted
at is not only very cheap, and would
bring your table expenses within two
hundred dollars, but upon it you
would all gain flesh, have brigeter
eyes, fine teeth, sweeter breath, and
le altogether healthier than if you
fed yourself upon the present fried,
greasy, compounded stuffs, with pies
cakes and puddings.
The whole of the processes, the en
tire management of such a table, is
given in great detail, with the reasons
for each step, in "My Jolly Friend's
Secret," issued by the publishers cf
this paper. V e cannot render you a
more important service than bv re
ferring you to that work. Dio Lew

A Mother Dns.
The Chicago Iner-Ocnan says that
a clerk in a book store in Louisville,
where lottery tickets were sold, laid
aside one for himself, numbered 3,307.
al short time ago the proprietor of
the store received a letter from one
Perkins, liviug in an interior town,
stating that he had dreamed that Xo.
3,307 would draw the capital prize,
and requesting said proprietor to
purchase that ticket for him if it was
to be had. The clerk stated that
this was the identical ticket he had
selected for himself, and thereupon
pulled out bis money and paid for it.
He then wrote to Perkins that he
could have the ticket for $G00.
Strange to say, the return mail
brought an acceptance of the offer
and a request that the ticket be at
once forwarded to Perkins. This
so excited the clerk' that he backed
square out and declared he would not
sell it for less than 11,000. He was
soon astounded at the receipt of an-
ber letter agreeing to these terms,
and demanded the ticket. ih:s so
worked upon the nervous clerk that
be refused point blank to sell it at
any price, and for fear that the price
less ticket might get lost, he locked it
up in a bank vault. The young man
has just discovered that the whole
ibing was a hoax, played upon him
by acquaintances, and what is worse,
has found out that 3,307 drew
nothing but a blank in the "grand
scheme."

Dr. Brown Sequard, in a lecture at
Boston the other night, said: "The
application of heat to children is ex
ceedingly useful to help their develop
ment. If the air they breathe is cool,
and heat is applied to their limbs,
but not so much to the body, thev
certainly grow faster. There is no
question that in northern climes,
children who are not well clad, and
are not well cared for in regard to
the heat surrounding the body, do
not grow so well as children who are
submitted to the influence of heat.
There is one thing which in this
country esjiecially is most hurtful
and dangerous, aud that is beat ap
plied to the lungs. It is perfectly
well known that the mortality of
children in this country is enormous
the summer months, and that
hiefly through the influence of heat
on the Iunirs and belly. Digestion
nd respii ation are disturbed, and
death comes, as you know, too fre
quently. More care could easily be
btained in that respect"

Bariium's great Roman Hippo
drome, in New York, which is now
approaching completion, will bo
opened in April. It occupies the
entire block bounded by Fourth and
Madison avennes, Twenty-sixth and
Twenty-seventh street?. The baild
ing is of brick, iron, glass and wood,
and in four hundred and thirty feet
long by two hundred feet wide.
There will be a principal and several
small entrances, sufficient to permit
the exodus of ten thousand people in
four minutes. Every precaution has
been taken against fire. The track is
twenty-five feet wide, and its outward
circumference about one-fifth of a mile.
I' poii this course will take place hur
dle races, steeplechase), chariot races
ostrich races, and the grand moving
tableau of the "Congress of Mon
arch." Inside there is another semi
arch, 275 feet long and 8 wide, laid
out as a garden with fountains, fl ow
ers, and statuary. From these cen.
tral points rise an amphitheater of
seats, one above another, until the
rear and uppermost tier reaches an
elevation of thirty feet. The seats
at least several thousand f them, are
to be folding chairs, luxuriously up
holstered, while those Tor the more
democratic sections will be upon an
equally comfortable scale Under
neath these rows of scats there rooms
400 feet long and 35 feet wide, in
which will be exhibit the trained hor

A Fortunate Kirk.
An Indian Fable.
Hall, Great Portland street. It is a
hairy-faced man and his child, the lat
ter a bright, smart, engaging infant
of three and a half years old, over
whose face and nose tho down of
hair is already thickly spreading.
The father's face is with the excep
tion of the eyes completely, we
might almost say densely, covered
with fine, soft, brown hair of from
about four to five inches in length.
Even the ears are just as thickly cov
ered, and with hair of the same
length as the forehead, cheeks, and
all pnrts ofthe face, in fact the who'e
head of the man is like that of a very
long-haired and woolly-looking Skye
terrier. The effect is anything.
There is an Eastern storv, which
has its version in many languages, of
a beautiful damsel to whom a genius
of surpassing power desired to give
a talisman. He enjoined her to take
herself across a standing field of corn;
she was to pluck the tallest and
largest ear she could find, but she was
to gather it as she went forward, and
never pause in her path, or to step
backward in search of her object. In
proportion to the size and richness of
the ear she gathered, so would be its
power as a talisman. She went out
upon her quest, savs the legend, and
entered upon the field. Many a stalk of
surpassingexcellence met her glance,
but still she walked onward, expect
ing always to find some one more
excellent still. At last she reached
portion of the field where the crops
were thinner and the ears more stunt
ed. Sho rejrretted the tall and grace
ful stalks she had left behind, but
disdained to pick those which fell so
far below what her ideas were of a
pertect ear. But, alas ! the stems
grew more ragged and more scanty

After the taking of Ticonderoga;
Col. Allen was sent to Massachusetts
Connecticut and New York for rein
forcements for his brave little army
and for supplies. On his way down
he called at Bennington to congratu
late his friends on the taking ofthe
fort and firing the Green Mountain
boys with a new zeal for the cause
of liberty. On Sunday the Kev. Mr.
Dewy preached before Colonel Allen
and the other officers and soldiers in
that vicinity on the capture. Mr.
Dewy; with much fervor, poured forth
his thanksgiving unto the Lord forgiv
ing the possession of this important
fortress to a people struggling in de
fense of their dearest rights. Allen
was a little displeased, and as the
preacher continued in this strain of
thanksgiving, the bluff old hero cried
out, "Parson Dewy!" The reverend
gentleman gave no heed to the inter
ruption, and Allen exclaimed still
louder, "Parson Dewy!" The min
ister continued with great fervency,
when Allen sprang to his fret and
roared out, "Parson Dewy!" The
clergyman opened bis eyes and gazed
with astonsishment upon Col. Allen.
Then Allen exclaimed with great em
phasis. "Parson Dewy, please men
tion my being there."
On New Year's day, a little boy
aged 7 years, son of Mahlon G.
Hout k, No. 214 Mifflin street, Read
ing, Pa., accidentally got a glass
bead in his wind pipe, while playing
and it pas.-ed into the right lobe of
his lungs, while the surgeons were
endeavoring to extract it with instru
ments' an incision having been made
just below "Adam's apple." The
bead caused the little boy a great
deal of inconvenience, and it caused
an irritation in the lungs which pro
duce phlegm, and at night the. little
sufferer was attacted by severe spells
of coaghing, and occasionally he
nearly suffocated. He expectorated
matter tinged with blood, and it was
predicted by the attending plv?i-
cians that iftne bead was not expecto
rated the lungs would very likely be
destroyed by consumption.
On rriuav evening last the little
fellow was playing with some chil
dren ofthe neighborhood, and quar
reled with a little boy, who gave "
him a kick. Young IJouck attempt
ed to return the compliment, when
he was attacted with a cough in arspe'l
which nearly strangled him, and fortu
nately he coughed up the bead, its
fall being hard on the pavement,
where it is found incrustated and
presenting rough surface, although
the fflass itse.f is smooth. It has a
jet Llatt color, and is three-quarters
of an inch in length and fullv one
third of an inch in diameter.
The little bob has learned to make
at will a certain kind of musical noise
through the bead while it was in his
lungs, and he has since tried to pro
dace the same sand without effeet He
savs "he can no longer make the
talk." There was always a sort of
rushing sound iu his chest, which has
disappeared, as also the cough which
afflicted him, and he is now in the
best of spirits.
Whitewash.
Take a bushel of good, unslaked
lime, slake it in boiling water, and
keep it covered during the slak
ing process. Strain "the liquor
through a sive, and add a peck of
clean gait, dissolved in warm water
and three pounds of boiled rice or
wheat paste, and half pound of dis
solved glue; add five gallons of wa
ter to this mixture. It is best to put it
on hot, but in that case, use only old
brushes. For the interior of dwel
ling's do not use any salt, and to the
lime add about two pounds of Span
ish whitinij. It makes the lime
clearer looking if a little indigo is
squeezed among it. Copperas will
make it a buff color blue vitriol ablue

Rev. Mr. Nightingale contributes to
the Springfield Republican the fol
lowing story of Rev. Dr. Lothrop, an
eccentric parson who officiated in
West Springfield: "A young lady
a member ol lr. laOtnrop s cnurcn.
went on a visit to a neighboring
town, and while there attended a par
ty and danced. Tidings of her sin
reached home before her. On her
return she was visited and called to
most severe account for the disgrace
she bad thus brought upon herself
and upon the church, and which had
been found out notwithstanding it
had been done among strangers.
One staid maiden was specially earn
est in her rebukes, and made the poor
girl feel very bad. 'What shall I do ?'
she asked. 'You had better go and
see Dr. Lothrop.' She did go and
told hint all about it 'And so, my
dear, you went to the party, and dan
ced, did you ?' he said. 'Yes. Sir.'
And did you have a good time:
Yes. Sir.' 'Well I am glad of it,
and I hope you will go again, and
enjoy yourself. And now I want you
to tell me the name ol tne woman
who has been making you all this
trouble.' She told. 'Go to that wo
man, and tell her for me that if, she
wants to go to-heaven she had better
make more use of ber feet and less of
her tongue.'
Fierce Wind. The sicnal sta
tion the top of Mount Washington re
ported a northwest gale blowing
at the rate of 140 miles an hour as
shown by the anemometer and a
temperature of IS degrees below zero.
This is probably the highest force
ever attained by the wind in New
England. A gale 50 or 70 miles an
hour will often blow down trees. In
the harricanes of the tropics a force
of 100 even 111) miles an hour is not
uncommon. No human being could
stand before such a gale. The peo
ple in the chained down hut contrive
to exemine the anemometer without
emerging else they would be swept
off bodily and hurled downTucker
man's Ravine. The roar of such a
mountain gale is terrible beyond
words.

The school teachers of Worcester,
Mass., have arrived at the conclusion
that over study does not injure chil
dren, but that late hours, badly venti
lated rooms and evil habits do. This
is especially true of girls. Not one
n a thousand is injured by stuay.
Idleness and unhygienic habits are
the true source of ill health among
school girls. Their emotional na
tures are stimulated by sensational
novels. Unwholesome diet and the
dissipations of late hours have also
their share in bringing about the
disastrous results which are attributed
to over exercise of the brain. So far
it is from being true that girls are
injured by study that, were their
studies so increased that they would
have no time for idleness, the result
would be ft decided improvement in
their health.
