The I cllow 't unt I.oolv I.Ike M. Max AlJelcr, who writes for a rhiladclphia paper, has a friend named Slimmer, who deserves pity, lie was poing up to Reading tli other day, and when reaching the depot he happened to look into the ladies' room. A woman sat there with a lot of hag page and three children, and when she saw Slimmer she rushed at him, and before he could defend himself she flung her arms around his neck nestled her head upon his breast, and burst into tears. Slimmer was amazed, indignant, confounded ; and ere he could find utterance for hi? feelings, she exclaimed : "Oh, Henry, dear Henry ! We ore united at last. Are you well? Is aunt Martha still alive? Havn't you longed to sec your own Louisa ?'' And she looked into Slimmcr's face and smiled through her tears. "Madame," said he eolmenly, "if I am the person alluded to as Henry, permit me to say you have irade a mistake. My name is Lemuel, I have on aunt Martha, and I don't own a solitary Louisa. Oblige me by letting go my coat, it excitsc remark." Then she buried her bonnet deeper into Lis waistcoat, and began to cry Larder than ever, and said: "Oh, Henry, how, hoxc con you treat me so? How can you pretend vou are not rov husband?" "Madame." screamed Slimmer, "if you do not cease sopping my shirt bosom, and remove your umbrella from my corn. I shall be obliged to call the police. Let me go I say." "The children are here," she per sisted. "They recognize their dear father. Don't you children?" "Yes, yes," they exclaimed, "it's pa, it's our dear pa." And then they grappled Slimmer by the trowscrs leg and hung to his coat tail. ""Woman!" he shrieked, "this is getting serious. Unhand me, I say." And he tried to disengage himself from her embrace while all the brakenicn, and the baggage master, and the newsboys stood around, and said his conduct was infamous. In the midst of the struiriric a 6tranger entered with a carpet bag. He look rd exactly like Slimmer and when he saw his wife in Slimmcr's arms he became excited, and Coorcd Slimmer with that carpet bag, and sat on him, and smote his nose and caromed on his head, and asked him what he mean, Slimmer was removed oa a stretcher, and the enemy went off with his wife and family in a cab. Ho called next day to appologiee. His wife had made the mistake be cause of Slimmer's likeness to him. And now Slimmer wishes he may soon be kicked in the face by a mule, so that he will resemble no other hu man being on earth. A Dollar Bill. The crisp one dollar bill is as a work of art simply beautiful. Fresh from the press, with the promise to pay unbroken by a crease, its pictures unsoiled and unwrinkled, and its crinkly sound is significant of wealth as was the jingle of coin in the bar barious times when the promise had contingent relations with performance the dollar bill is an object of admiration and de-light. Few things are superior to it in nature or in art On the upper left hand corner Christopher Colum bus is discovering the Land of Prom ise; in the centre is the promise to pay of the land he discovered, and the lower right hand corner, a signature of Treasurer Spinner, a gentleman whose integrity is as Roman as the nose of the Father of his Country, whose portrait adorns the middle of the bill, because he never told a lie. There may be citizens who have never seen this art and simbol of wealth in its condition. Possibly to those to whom the dollar bill has come limp, creased, and measly, the statement that the portrait which adorns it is of the Father of His Coun try, and that he wore a Roman nose v, hen in life and so represented in the engraving, and tnat he never told a lie, may seem incredible. It i not impossible that it may be doubted, end that men mere men of whom the poet beautifully says. "Men may come and men may go, but the one dollar bill flows on forever," may assert that this is not the portrait of any man who never told a lie, and that he does not were a Roman nose cither, J t is the misfortune ot sucn persons not to have seen the dollar bill when it was fresh and crisp; when promise Mnd the Roman nose were the unbro ken by repeated foldings and wrink lings, and the face of the Father of His Country had not been pinched and punched and "wuzzlcd up" into a counterfeit presentment of Judas Iscariot Tribune. Womanly Defease of Dress. ,:A Your.g Lady" writes to a New York paper in defense of the present mode of dress adopted by women. She says: "All the attacks made upon our dress at the present time nrc founded in ignorance. Years ago our women wore paper shoes and 'board' corsets. Of course, these were unhealthy. But nowadays we wear thick shoes and corsets that are no more injurious than men's waist coats. What nonsense, then, to at tack woman's dress for reasons that have now become obsolete! I claim our dress is rational because it is be coming, and that is the chief object of woman's dress. We hang our skirts on our hips, and not on our shoulders, because our hips arc made for the purpose, and because the plan of wcarning skirts suspended by braces from the shoulders is imprac ticable cept for flat chested c Id maids. .s your correspondent, 'Mrs. 11. S..' has said, our skirts are so ar ranged that they keep our bodies cool, whereas trousers would produce the opposite effect If women were intended to jump fences and ride astride, there would be a reason for 'dress reform.' As they were not in tended for any such purpose, I insist that their present dress is just what it should be, both in point of health and appearance.' This young lady evidently knows what she is talking about. She wears dresses, and ac cordingly speaks from experience; while lio Lewis doesn't wear dresses and so merely speaks from theory. And it is quite certain that she, like some other 3'oung ladies, is going to wear just what she pleases anyhow. Uni Pie. Three eggs (save tbe whites of two), juice and peel of one lemon, one cup of boiling water, and tablespoon of corn meal, one cup of sugar. Urate the lemon and pour the boiling water over the juice and peel ; beat the eggs with the corn meal, and add to the boiling water ; let it cool before add ing the sugar. Beat the whites of the two eggs with one tablcspoonful of Eugar, and spread over tbe top of the pie. Have tne under crust of pastry.

Wc would call the attention of far mers at this time to the value of sun flowers as a crou. and enumerate some of their values and uses. In the Grst place, the flowers abound in honey and furnish food for bees. The seeds contain oleaginous matter, and will yield oil at the rate of one gallon to the bushel, which is but little inferior to olive oil. One acre will produce fifty bushel of seed. It is also valuable for feed for horses and poultry. The leaves are excel lent fodder for cattle. The stalks while growing may be utilized as bean poles, where they are scarce and difficult to be obtained, and when dry may be used as roof ing, or set up against a fence to form a wind-break. They contain a large amount of potash, and are excellent for fire kindling. The seed has also been recommended for fuel. The reputation of the growing sun flower to absorb miasmatic vapors, and prevent fever and ague, is well known. A correspondent in the Journal of Industn. of Kiccmond, a., writing on the subject of sunflowers, etc. gives the following as the result of bis experiments: "Contiguous to my residence is a marsh. During the summer and fall of 1ST2 nearly every member of my family was down with ague and le vcr. In the spring of 1873, I thought I would give the sunflower a trial, and planted a number around the yard. 1 do not know whether there is really any medical'virtuc in this curious plant but not a ense of chill occured that season at my house, and I secured a very excellent food for my chickeng. Pleased with the ex periment, I shall try it more exten sively this year and cultivate a patch, assured of this fact, that the seed will compensate for the trouble." "Dr. Pouchet records that the in sensible transpiration of tho sunflow er is seventeen times as great as our own. Jlales ascertained, by daily weighing it in scales, that it lost, by the transpiration of its leaves only, twenty ounces of water in twenty four hours." "Experiments by farmers in mala rious districts might result in the con firmation of the idea that the sunflow er exercises a healthy influence over miasma. Should such result ensue, it would require a long time to com municate the fact to the people, for our farmers are not, as a class, readers of agricultural papers." Propbraie. About tbe Crops. It is the right time of year for the propagation of doleful prophesies in regard to the crops. In due course we receive some unpleasant state ments, forerunners of others still more unhappy, which are yet to come. The first installment arrives from Al abama, Arkansas, Missisippi and Tex as, and it comes by way of Indiana, which is rather an unusual route: but Indiana informs us oil about the States southwest of her, and we learn that there is to be a lamentable fall ing off in the cotton crop. The exact decrease in the area of planted ground is stated to be fourteen per cent, and six-tenths of one per cent, a nicety of figures, which shows that the meas urement has been very close. In corn there is no increase in area of nine and seven-tenths per cent, a consu- mationwhicn will insure an appre ciable addition to the number of hoc- cakes which may be eaten in those favorite regions. The indications are, therefore, tha there will be more to cat than to wear in the southwest, a condition of things which may in sure partial happiness, partial only because the cotton crop was a sure means of raising money for the South, and although to eat is exceedingly satisfactory to the average American, he is not happy unless he has money in his pocket with liberty to spend it. The Tea Rose. Of all the various classes of roses, the tea scented are the most desirable, and appropropnato lor house culture I he original tea rose was import ed from China, in 1812, and its de scendants have j-early increased in beauty of coloring and fragrance until they outshine all their beauteous sisterhood, and are, indeed, more beautiful than all others. For the past two years the demand for them has been very great, no gentleman could attend a party unless a tea rose decorated the button hole of his coat, and every youn lady must either wear them in her hair, or carry them in her hands, and loop her dress with them. So the florists have cultiva ted them, and no stand of flowers is complete witbQut them. They can be purchased in all shades from the deepest purplish red, to yellow and snow white. They need plenty of sunshine, a very rich compost, and fresh air, to bloom in peifection. A hot, dry temperature, with sti fling air, is not adapted to their needs, and although they will live patiently in it, they will not flower. They will however, bud and blossom luxuriant ly in a soil of leaf mold, well decom posed horse manure, and sand loam, equal, parts of each, and when the buds arc forming, give all the sun shine that can be obtained, but when they are bursting into bloom, their beauty will be more permanent if they are set out from the direct rays of tbe sun. They must lie kept well watered or the buds will blast. Irish ('nstoms. It is a custom at Galway fair for all the marriageable girls to assemble and tempt all wanting wives, by their captivating charms, to be made more happy for life. Savs an Ameri can gentleman of the highest charac ter, who was an eye witness, and wa3 invited by a nobleman to go and see these girls: At twelve o'clock pre cisely we went, as directed, to a part of the ground higher than tbe rest of the field, where we found from Eixty to one hundred young women, well dressed, with good looks and good manners, and presenting a spectacle quite worthy any civil or modest man s feelings. 1 hey were the mar riageable irls of the county, who bad come to show themselves on the occasion to the yonng men who wan ted wifes; and this was tbe plain and simple custom of the fair. I can plainly eay that I saw in the custom no great impropriety it certainly did not imply that, though they were ready to be had, anybody could have them. It was not a Circassian slave market, where tbe richest purchaser could make his selection. They were in no sense of the term oa sale, nor did they abandon their right of choice but that which i3 done constantly in more refined society, under various covers and pietenses at theaters, at balls, and public exhibitions I will say nothing about the churches, wae aone ty tcoso humble and unpretend mg people in this manner. straightforward A New York lady paid first class fare through to Detroit for her poodle in order to have the animal with her. TheAcr of Coal. ! It seems probable that vej .'matter may under favorable Itions, Imj converted into coal condi nruch more rapidly than most chemical geologists are in the habit of ;isum ing. At least, a curious instance of an appr . ic!: to yards such conversion with ir. i tie historic period has Icon broug: 1 1 efore the German Geologic al So iciy'of Herr Ilirschwald, of Berlin. In one of the old mines in the Upper llartz the Dorothea Mine, near Clausthal some of the wood originally employed a3 timbering has become so far altered cs to assume most of the characters of a true lig nite, or brown coal. It appears that certain of the levels in the ancient workings of this mine are filled with refuse matter, consisting chiefly of fragments of clay-slate, more or less satturated with mine water, and con taining here and there fragments of the old timbering. This wood, when in the mine, is wet, and of a leathery consistence, but on expasure to the air it rapidly hardens to a solid sub stance, having most, if not all, the characters of a true lignite. It breaks with a well-marked conchoidal frac ture, and the parts which are most altered present the black lustrous appearance characteristic of the Ger man "pitch-coals." At he same time, chemical examination of the altered wood shows that it stands actually nearer to true coal than do some of the younger tertiary lignites. This instance seems, therefore, to prove that pine wood, when placed under highly favorable conditions, may be converted into a genuine lignite within a period which, from what we know of the history of rain ingin the Hertz, cannot have extend ed beyond four centuries. Athenev um London. J renting: Axles. Many a wbe-l is ruined bv oiliu too plentiful. A well made wheel will endure constant wear from ten to twenty vears, if care is taken to use the kind and proper amount of oil; that if the matter is not attended to the wheel will be used up in five or six years, or it may be sooner. Lard should never be used on a wag on, for it will penetrate the hub and work its way around the tenons of the spoke and spoil the wheel. Castor oil is a good material for use on an iron axle : just oil enough should bo applied to a spindle to give it a light coating. This is better than more, for the surplus put on will work out at the end, and be forced by the shoulders and nut into the hub around the outsida of the boxes. To grease the axle-tree, first wipe the spindle clean with a cloth wet with turpen tine, if it won't wipe without it. On a buggy or carriage, wipe and clean off the back and front ends, and then anply a very small quantity of castor oil, or more especially prepared lu bricator near the shoulder's point. Honae Terrain. Cockroaches are the plague of many housekeepers, and yet a little Fans green is death to them. Keep it in a flour dredging-box, label it poison, and apply it weekly to their hannts. lied Lugs or clinch bugs may also be dispersed and utterlv routed, with this remedy; and both cockroaches and bed bugs will flee from powdered borax. Travelers should always carry a paper of borax in their bags, and sprinklo it under and over their pillows, if they fear to become food to the last named wretches. Sprigs of wormwood will drive away large black ants; and none of them, whether black, red or, brown, relish winter green, tansy Taris-grcen, cayenne or kerosene; so if they invade our pantries wc can, by a judicious application of some one of these articls, make the prem ises too unpleasant for them. Fly papers should be kept about the house as early as the middle of May. Put it in every open window and thus destroy every intruder. Country Gentleman. HnriKiiiK Itaskrts. Xow is the time to set up Langing baskets. Line tie basket with mosp, with a little soil attached. Place in the center a email pot containing a showy plant of uptight habit; fill up the surrounding space with rich woods and old hot-bed soil ; Cll it with plants of a trailing habit ; when the center fades you can replace it by a fresh plant. For filling a basket, select plants of a similar nature such as light Bhades and moisture the Fuchsia, Lobelia, Gray, Gerani ums, Fries, Sinaria, Panium Calms, gold and siker Yinca Ferns. A basket for a warm situation should be filled with Coleus as the centre; also Petunia (double) Sedums, Convolvu lus minor, Nasturtium, Regonia, Mignonette, for trailing.

Uut the fact was he had nothing else to bo loved for. She married him. And still she loved him for herself. He gave her not so much as a single dollar to aid on her love. Last week he returned home full of whisky r.s a barrel, and undertook to assert l is manly sway in too vi jleut a way. In fact, he deliberately punched her in tne eye. This is what turned her love to gall and made her take up the washboard, on which she earned her own and his support, and belabor him with it until there was very little of the board left; and his head looked like pumpkin which boys had been using as a lootball. Now he earns alivingfor himself and wile. Such are some of the inconsistencies of the human feminine. Itark I uk Treea. Ir Tan, with Ktrau. An apparatus patented by Mrtitre, for the employment of steam in peel ing Lark, for tan (described in lHn gler's Journal for 18C7), in regard to which very contradictory opiuions were expresssd, has been tested at at Wiebbaden, under supervision of the government, with the following results: The quality of the leather corresponds to the amount of tannin in thb bark. The variation of the amount of tannin in the bark, at dif ferent seasons of the year, is too i small to be regarded in tauning. The amount of tannin in bark, removed by the aid of steam, in the spring, from trees felled in winter, showed no loss, either by chemical analysis or by actual experiments in tanning. TLe process, therefore, on these points is not objectionable. l'cr Pillow. Excellent paper pillows mav be made of old letters the stiffer tho paper the better. Newspaper will not do.
