tbat tbeae sanie sherry cobblers were
dangerous companions for a young

"I am the demon of the cup," he

"I haven't the pleasure of your a--.juainuiuv,"
I continued.
"Yes, you Lave. You are one .

"So, thauk you ; I cannot say

"At any rate, I will introduce you

us he waved bis hand over the cup,
I nstanily another cloud of smoke

raed filthy old man. Of all tbat 1
bad ever seen of wretchedness, squal

Whs tie most filling representative,
only the degree of wretchedness
aeeuied a hundred fold intensified.
"Who are you ?" I demanded, as
the old man moved towards me.
"My name is poverty."
"I think it might ie. What do

"I just dropped in to be introduced
to you, for you and I are likely to

'I u deed, old fellow you are reckon

"Just now you do, but you w'll

"Ion't Vie too familiar, if you

"We are bound to he friends,

"Of course I have."
"Well, sir, I am a respectable

"You had better take yourself off

"Be civil to him," interposed the
demon, "he is one of us and a good

over the cup.
Again he the vapor rose from the
glass, and another form more hide

by his savage expression and glaring
eyes.
"Who are you I"' 1 inquired, shrink

"My name is Crime."
' Then you have been well named."
"I have work for you to do."
"I am too much engaged to assist

"Come, come, dou't be stiff about
it. I suppose you arc not quite

"How do you like my friends ?"

"Certainly, they belong in the cup ;

As he spoke that moke itifernal

There was nothing really hideous

gives cn account of the status of the
various manufacturing and commer
cial interests there, which shows a
decidedly improved prospect for the
opening season ia both branches of
industry.
The Uofeton 0'Wj savs the indica-
Uions on all sides are that tbe general

it was a year agj this time, and that
no doubt with the dif appearance of
the snoW and the advent of mild

fair spring trad-. The general mer
chandise markets, from week to week,
-how a decided ter dency for the bet
ter. It is predicted that the 1st o'
j A r w' which is so largely a setlle-
mefit day through ut New England,
i vvill usher in a period of gieat activity
m tLat section.
In several of the towns of Massa
chusetts, factories are reported as
running on time. In the West, the
farmers are ia a much better condi
tion than was generally supposed,
while the reports of many of the rail
roads of that section show increased
earnings. In Xew York, the Firing
trade is reported to be progressing
favorably now in all directions, only
requiring a few days' steady weather
to set all the w heels in motion. The
various forwarding lines coastwise
.have as much freight as they can con
veniently bundle. .With the Eastern
States, jf.e frco movement of mer
chandise is particularly noticeable.
Larc quantities of manufactured
goods are also arriving, both by
steamer and rail. The Savannah,
Charleston and New Orleans steam
ers also report increasing business,
and the produce markets also fore
shadow the return of more active
times.
Then, too, the late advance in
wheat in England and on tbe Conti
nent has started an upward move
ment in prices here, which will cause
an active movement in grain from
the farmers' hands to the lake ports
and the seaboard as soon as roads iu
the country permit of stuff being bau'
to the railroads. The farmers still
bold a large portion of last year'a
w beat crop, refusing to sell freely at
the last fall's prices. The indica-
tions are favorable for a good export
demand for w heat in the future,
which, coupled w ith the recent ad
vance in price, certainly strengthens
the theory that our surplus crops will
be marketed during the spring and
summer, which cannot be done with
out giving a sharp impetus to general
business and active employment to
the railroads. Tbe recent call of the
Secretary of the Treasury for $30,
000,000 5-20 bonds on account of the
sinking fund, has also bad a good
effect in financial and business circles,
and assisted the revival of confidence
which bad previously set in. The
neglect of the national sinking fund
and the default of interest by our rail
roads in 1ST3-74 greatly damage our
credit in Europe, but the action of
the Secretary in holding the sinking
fund sacred w ill do much to restore
this credit abroad to its former high
standard, and so increase the confi
dence of European capitalists in the
securities as, it is to be hoped, to re
vive their export once more. Tj
be sure, hope is not a remarkable
commody, but it is an exceedingly
important auxiliary agency of pros
perity, nevertheless. There is enough
of everything now, except confidence.
Everybody should now lend a band
to encourage the growth of this ten
der plant.

In her own bosom she planned this

Rain.-
Frsfessor Tvndall's experiments
upon the condition of the atmosphere
in relation to fog-signalling, have led
to some conclusions which are of the
utmost importance to mariners. His
observations as to the effect of bail
and rain upon the transmission of
sound through tbe air tend to reverse
all tbe notions hitherto entertained
upon that subject. It has cenerally
been considered that falling rain was
powerful obstruction to sound.
"To rain," however, Kays Professor
Tyndall, "I Lave Dever been able
to trace the slightest deadening in
fluence on sound. TLe reputed bar
rier offered by 'thick weather' to the
passage of sound w as one of the caus
es which tended to produce hesita
tion in establishing sound-signals on
our coasts. It is to be hoped that
the removal of this error mav redound
to the advantage of coming genra

not appear to be any more serious
tobstacle than rain.

there may sometimes be individual

spouts which carry off the rain from

three inches in diameter at the
month, which projects over the side

be. With their glazed, dark-red
color, these conduits look much like
cannon thrusting their muzzles out
some two or three feet from tbe
front wall. The stranger who Erst
sees these spouts can compa-e them
to nothing so fitly as to -annon

kind of material. Tbe 'floors are of
tiles, some two or three inches thick,
and about nine inches square. Some

A story is told by a farmer residing
at Dioomheld. in this State, which
seems to indicate reasoning power
and a bit of heroic element in a rat.
Two rats, an old prey matron of tbe
corn crib and her offspring, and had
been caught together in a common
box trap. Through a crack tbe pair
could be seen together within, loving
enough, till the farm dog was brought
to tbe mouth of the trap. As soon
as tbe mother rat scented tbe dog
she seemed immediately to divine
tbe approaching fate, and, giving a
terrible squeal, she caught tbe little
rat by tbe neck and bit him sharply,
causing almost insUnt death. The
trap was opened an instant after, and
the old rat which bad thus killed her
offspring rather than have it murder
cd by tbe dog, quietly submitted to
her fate.

that is plain, and will be undoubtedly

In this case tbcre were thirty calves

in charge of a boy who had never
before bad to do with these way
ward creatures, but who was tracts-
oie ana lona ot annuals. Jte was
promised tbe sum of $2 as a small
but satisfactory inducement in case
of success. The calves were put in
pairs in wattled pens. Tbe boy be
came fond of his charge, and wor
ried greatly about their well doing,
feeding tbem with regularity and so
successfully as to agreeably astonish
his employer. Now, if one boy will
act thus under the stimulus of a re
sponsibility and a small reward and
the former w as probably more effec
tive tbat the latter why should not
other boys go and do likewise? It
is reasonable and proper that all the
young stock on tbe farm should be
made tbe sjtecial charge of the boys,
with a proprietary interest in their

Accurate AllfiDineuta.
We have a slip from a Philadel
phia paper, giving some particulars
of the tunnel through tbc Musconet-
congMountaiu, on tbe line of the Las
ton and Am boy Railroad. Tbe
length of tbe tunnel is about 5,000
feet, through a mountain some 450
feet above the g.ade. In making a
tunnel, as our readers doubtless
know, we have given a hill in which
a bole is to be bored, tbe position of
the ends of the bole, aud tho grade
at which it is to be run; and as two
headings are run at once, one from
each end, it is very desirable that
tbey should be on the same line, and
should conform to grade, so that they
will meet in the ruiddie of tbe hill.
Tbe length, direction, and grade of
tbe headings must then be calculated
from outside measurements; and it
becomes an interesting matter, after
tbe work is completed, to see how
closely the lines, as actually run,
conform to tbe requirements. In the
case of the Musconetcong Tunnel,
the statements are made that tbe
length, as ascertained Iry chaining
over tbe mountain, only differed from
the actual length, measured after the
headings vere completed, by six and
four tenths inches, that the center
lines of tbe two headings were only
out of tbe line about one three-bun-dreth
of an inch w here the headings
met, and tbat tbe grades of tbe two
headings, where they met, coincided
to within onj eight-hundreth of an
inch.
The measurements were made with
ordinary instrnments; and if the re
sults are . reported correctly, the
work reflects great credit upon tl.e
engineers having it in charge.
In this connection, we may men
tion a statement, in a Virginia paper,
tLat an engineer, in tbc employ of
the Belcher Mining Company, in
joining two drifts by a short tunnel,
128 feet in length, could not detect
any error in the alingment, after the
two headings were connected.
The Iloosac tunnel, it may be re
membered, is 25,031 feet long, and
there is an ascending grade of twenty-six
and four-tenths feet to the
mile, from each end to the central
shaft. On testing the work, after the
completion of the tunnel, it was found
that tbe error in alignment was nine
sixteenths of an inch, and the differ
ence of level, between the two head
ings, at tbe central shaft, one inch
and a half.
While on tbe subject of "great
bores" some reference to the Mont
Cenis Tunnel may not be out of
place. This is about 40,000 feet in
length ; tbe level in tbe Italian side
is abont 435 feet above that of tbe
French side, and the level at the sum
mit, where tbe two Leadings meet, is
about ten feet above tbe level at the'
Italian end of tbe tnnnel, so tbat the
two headings run to meet each other
on very different ascending grades.
On testing the work, after tbe two
headings were joined, it was found
tbat tbe heading from tbe French I
end was about twentv-four inches too
high, and the error of alignment was
about eighteen inches.

The following is told of a beautiful
sheet of water known as the Spirit
Lake, in Central Wisconsin: Many
years aro. ere the foot cf the pale
face had trod the soil which tbo red

dwelt near this lake; for in this

happy red man a paradise, as well it
might.
As fortune would have it, a Tr.ncl -man,
more daring than his fellows
wandered from tbe settlements and
r.n,i ii.o llf- IA indulged wuu
the Indians in the pleasures and dis

She loved in return, and all went
on merrily ; when tbc autumn leaves

sters to fly a way to a southern home.
the French hunter sougnt an inter

tn ask hi3 consent to the hoped for
marriage.
But at tho same time a young
warrior, w ho bad long looked with
jealous eyes upoa . tbe l-renchman,
bad ouen sought in vain to win tne
fWtions ofthe fair maiden of his
tribe, came to the old chief and asked
for his daughter's hand. The chief-
tain, disdaining partially to the war
rior on account of the fact tbat he
was one of his tribe, stepped to the
bank of the lake with the two suitors,
and pointing to a high and rugged
looking tree upon the opposite shore,
.... 9
said:
"He of vou who shall hr.-t bn ig
me an eaglet from the nest in yonder
tree, shall be the successful suitor.
When the old chieftain ceased
speaking, the hunter and tbe warrior
sprang iuto their li-ht canoes, and
were across the lake in a trice. Tbe
warrit r struck the shore first, but
the hunter was first to climb the
crass and tree, and was descending
with the ca?let. when the faithless
warrior pushed him from a limb on
which he stood, and the hunter was
dashed to pieces on the ragged rocks
below.
The Indian maiden, who had
watched with naiuful interest the
different transactions, when she saw
her lover fall, leaped far out into the
lake with a wild, piteous cry, and
sank in the clear waters never to
rise again. The superstitious red
man fancied that the spirit of the
departed maiden ruled tbe storms,
and tbat it would be death for an In
dian to risk himself on the waters of
the lake.
t o-Rrlnllou or Bees and 1'lewrra.
The bees, Mr. Darwin says, have
solved a difficult problem. They
have made their cells of a proper
shape to hold the greatest possible
amount of boney s ith the least pos
sible consumption of precious wax in
their construction. .No human work
man i3 skillful enough to do what a
crowd of bees can do, working in a
dark hive make cells ot wax of the
true form. The number of bumble
bees in the country will depend upon
tbe number of cats. How can that
be? Because the number of bees is
dependent upon tbe number of field
mice, which eat tbe bees. Hence the
more cats tbe fewer mice, and tbe
fewer mice, tbe more bees. If tbe
whole genus of bumble bees became
extinct, or very rare, tbe heart's ease
and red clover would become rare or
would disappear. How is that? Be
cause iees promote the growth of
these flowers. The visits of bees
are necessary for the fertilization of
certain kinds of clwvcr, and almost
indispensable to the fertilization of
the heart's ease. In a word no
bees, no seed; no seed, no increase of
flowers. The more visits from the
bees, tbe more seeds from -the flower;
and tbe more seeds from the flower,
tbe more flowers from tbe seeds.
Nearly all our orchidaceous plants
absolutely require the visits of in
sects to remove their pollen masses.
and thus to fertilize them. Twenty
heads of unprotected Dutch clover
yielded 2,900 seeds. Tbe same num
ber protected from bees produced not
one seeu; one hundred beads of un
protected clover yielded 27,000, aud
the same number protected from
bees, cot a seed.
Prwttta ut Kariy lirooeli.
Those who can produce the earli
est chickens in tbe market find the
best pavinjr prices. Tbe lovers of
good eating are always on tbe watch
for such dainties as snriosr chickens.
and cost is no object with many
(unfortunately, it is too often tbe
case with many able or unable to
bear it). To those of our poultry
raisers who are disposed to make the
bestoftbeir opportunities, we give
tbe following timelv hints from the
Live Stock Jturnal:
If poultry raisers have comforta
ble batching rooms, and can make
the early broods comfortable, tjjey
will always pay better than later
ones. After tbey are batched, they
should be placed on the sunny side
of the building, and where trey will
have the the beuefit of the t-uu from
large windows. There is no doubt
that coal is cheaper to keep up
pr.-per warmth in poultry, than corn.
It would pay iu every well-conducted
poultry house, to keep a geuial heat
by a coal stove, rather ibau extra
food. If beus are exuected to lav iu
viuttr or raise cl itkeus, the warmth
ofthe poultry house mui-t be kept as
uniform as pos.-jMr. Under favora
ble circumstance, thes-early broods
maV 111! niUlli. I.. ,rru 1, .. .. 1
. fc urlJ BIIU
make an excellent weight at three tl
tour months, and w ill bring a largely
increatid price over late ooes. Al
ter uniform temperature has U-en
secured, then a varied and nutritious
diet is uecefsary. Eggs, cooked
hard, are often given for the first
few da; after this, w here milk is to
be had, "j've cooked corn meal aud
milk. This diet, given warm, will
produce a One growth. .Millet, wheat
screenings, aud Bur bit of lean meat
will be rilir-bcd aud ail iu rapid
grow tb. Ofcjursethe mother must
be well cared for, aud have a gene
rous diet. With all tbeso necessary
conditions, earlv chickens will be
fouod to make even a better
growth in a eiven time, than the
later one?, and will be ready for
market when chickens are scarce
We think it costs little, if auy, more to
rai.-e chickens in winter than surr
mer. Anew gown for ladies to slip on
over everything, when in a burrv, is
appropriately called a jeff-davis." "
