During the early part of the war,
ia the year 1SC1, shortly after Our
army moved from Washington out
bevoad Burlington, Ceu. Levi S.
ChatSeld, of New York, went over to
visit some Ohio regiments, when the
following incident of the movement
was related to him: As they went
along on their way over, some cf the
soldiers stepped out of tbe ranks and
"confiscated"' a couple of geese, and
at the suggestion of an ingenious fel
low and a natural "biimmer," one of
the drummers unbeaded bis instru
ment and put the captured birds in.
Shortly afterward the colonel came
along, and noticing that the boy shirk
ed bis usual drum wback3, rode up
to the boy aud said, "Why don't you
beat that drum?" "Colonel," said'the
startled musician, "I want to sjieak
te you." Tbe colonel drew still clos
er tb him and, bending down bis
bead, said. ' Well, what bare you to
say?" The drummer whispered:
"Colonel, I've got a couple of geese
in here." The colonel ptraiirhtened
up and gravely said, "Well, if you're
sick and caa't play, you neednV
and then rode oa. It is needless to
add tbe colonel bad roast goose tbat

he tgaa to assort a bsadfu! of lor

'We.""' assented Prudence, after a
pause f:r coasideratloa and a glance
at the clock. ' I caa go fjr a little

Put Mr. Wentfurtu was sublimely
ind.JTereLt to his coat, aad worked
: with such good will that the berries;
were soon pu.tea over, ana i ruueuce
and himseif oa the way to the river.
Fire minutes later, Prudence, with
her draperies daintily bestowed
around her, was seated ia the stern
ol the little boat, which, propelled
by Mr. Wentforth's practiced band,
shot swiftly downstream. Although
Mr. Wentiorib said to Prudence
five times within aa hour that it was
a lovely day, aad although Pru
deace assented every time, 1 hardly
think they appreciated tne beauty
around them, for Prudence was
quite absorbed ia the lilies, and the
reflectioa ia the water, aad Mr.
Wentforth looked more at his com
panion thaa to the aspect of nature.
They bad gathered enough lilies to
satisfy them, and I'rudence was lean
ing backward trailing one band in
the water, when she suddenly utter
ed a little scream and sat erect, with
white cheeks from which the color
had been frightened.
"Ob, I almost lost it I How care
less I am !" she exclaimed, replacing
aa old-fashioned ring, set with a liny
circle of rubies oo her finger.
Did the water sweep it off rour
hand?"
"I suppose so. It's too large for
me. I'm always losing it and End
ing It again. I wouldn't lose it en
tirely for the orld, because it Used
to be grandmother's. She gave it to
me."
"What a curious old ring.it is,"
said Mr. Wentforth with interest.
"May I look at
rourself to take
it? Don't trouble
it off," he added,
then hastily withdrew it
"Isn't it pretty?" she inquired,
archly.
"Very pretty. Shall I tell you
how to guard against losing it ia fn
ture?r' "Oh, yea, if you please."
"Wear this little ring of mine to
guard it; or better yet, exchange
with me. Gire me yours and take
this instead," said the young man
daringly proroking. Prudence look
ed at tbe bcarily chased gold ring be
held out to her, and then looked back
at tbe water with an innocent, "Oh, I
don't think it would fit"
"Try it," suggested tor companion,
softly.
Prudence shook ber bead, but fi
nally agreed blusainglr that it would
do no barm to try, aud slipped tbe
ring on ter forefinger.
"It"s perfect fill" cried Mr.
Wentforth, delightedly. "Nothing
could be better. by, ti.-s Pru
aenee, you sureir do sot mesa to
gire it back ?"
"Of course I do," was the saucy
rejoinder. "Why not?"
"Because," said Mr. Wentforth,
speaking very earncst'y and disre
garding the oars altogether, while be
tried to sret a glimpse of tbe face bid
den by the flat bat, "because I meant
to ask you to wear it always for my
sake. I meant to ask "
"Oh, Air. Wentforth, cried his lis
tener here, "do too see that lily on
your left won't yoa get it for me ?"
"1 11 get you that and twenty oth
ers ii you 11 listen to me first Do
you care for me, I'rudence? Will
vcu marry me 1 "
Prudence's face was turned away
and ber bead bent lower. A crimson
flush stole orer ber ears, t ace and
chin.
'Trudence !"
No answer. Her companion lean
ed orer aad took Ler Laud again,
renturously.
But tbe band was hastily drawn
awar, a pair of saucy black eyes
flashed into bis own, aad Prudence's:
merry laugh rang orer .the water.
y d rather have grandma's, please.
I ought to go home,' Mr. Wentforth,

f te
biscuit, tea aroppea it euu-
wita an exclamation that 1
brought every eye opoa him. There,
imbedded ia the light white bread.
lay Prudenco's ruby ring.
A Ct of laughter arose tbat brought
Prudence back trout the kitcbea ia
haste, just ia time to see Mr. Went
forth coolly remove tbe ring from the
biscuit, amidst the merry chorus, and
drop it into his waistcoat pocket, "to
be kept until called for," be said with
a significant glance at her scarlet
ace. Poor Prudence! There was
now no peace for her after that An
army cf jokes quite orerwhelmed ber
protestations aad disclaimings; and
she was thankful to beat a hasty re
treat to the kitchen when the meal
was over. But even there she was
pursued by a laughing trio of tbe la
dies, barrasnsdd wiin questions, won
derment and merriment, until tbe
last dish was set away, and she bad
seized her bat, with the excuse tbat
she must po to the village ; however,
she stole along the ledge, climbed the
wall, and run to the furthest edge or
the orchard, where she flaag herself
oo the ground and cried as if ber
heart would break. She bad, per
haps, cried half aa hour, whea a step
crushed the dry grass at ber side,
roused ber, and the very voice she
most dreaded to bear said :
"I've come to return your ring,
Miss Prudence."
Poor little Prudence sat up hastily
and took tne unfortunate ricg wiin a
faltering "thank you." thea immedi
ately bid ber face again
"You needn't thank me. 1 should
have brought it before, but I could
not find you. I hope rou're not
troubled about those ridiculous jokes,"
he added, digninedlr,
"N o,'' responded Prudence, mis
erablr, between ber sobs ; "I I
thought you'd think I did it on pur
pose."
"Uow could I bare thought so 7
It was a mere accident my getting
that particular biscuit. I am very
sorry you're been so annoyed in this
way. I'm going away to-morrow,
Miss Prudence."
The sots partially ceased, and
Miss Prudence said, su'prisedly,
"Are yon ?"
"Won't you bid me good-by ?"
Miss Prudence 6aid "Yes," un
steadily, but did not raise ber bead.
"You will EhakS hands, won't you,
Miss Prudence?"
No answer.
'T can't go away while you are
offended with me. Won't you at
least tell me wby you are crying?"
"Because I I lost my grandmoth
er's ring," sobbed Prudence, making
great effort for composure.
Mr. Wentforth laughed ia spite
cf himself.
"Why, it,s safe oo your finger, aad
not a wuit the worse for its baking.
Is there no other reason ?"
"N o."
"But there is. I shall never have
another happy moment if I've offend
ed rou," said Mr. Wentforth, tragi
cally. "I was a brute to treat you
as I did this afternoon ; but I'm go
ing away and shan't annoy yoa
again, w on t you forgive me now,
and shake bands: '
Another long 6ilencc. Mr. Went
forth turned awar in despair, but was
detained by a faltering voice, "I I'll
forgive you if "
"Well ?" was the breathless inter
position.
"You won't go away."
lhe more observant boarders no
ticed at breakfast the next morning
tbat Mr. Abbott Wentforth wore tbe
ring that be bad found in tbe biscuit
on the little finger of bis left band,
and that Prudence wore a heavy
chaste gold circle in the place of ber
lost ornament To use tbe words of
one of tbe above named boarders,
"Tbat tells the whole story."
"What do you mean, you little
rascal? "exclaimed an individual t
aa impudent youth who had seized
him by the nose onjjthe street "Oh,
nothing only I am going out to seek

the method was wrong.
Tte second rule regards the bolder
of a check, by having it certified
rather then paid, as electing to trust
the certifying bank, and releasing the
j drawer from all respoasibility in re-1
jspect to tbe qaestioa of its payment.

the cbecc certified rather thaa paid,

simply. If the bank should fail be-1
fore the check is finaliy settled, he j
could not fall back upoa the drawer i

for him and be bad aa order to draw it, !
of which he did not choose to avail j
himself. At tbe time ot tbe certifi-
(cation the amount of tbe check was;
charged on the books of the bank j
against the drawer, as if it bad been
actually paid and tbe checks held as
proof thereof. Wbaterer contingen
cy may happen afterward lies wholly
between the check-bolder and the cer
tifying bank.
The third rule regards the failure
of a back certifying a check to pay
it, as not rendering the bank in which
it may have been deposited liable to
make it good, unless negligence ia
collecting it can be shown. Checks,
whether certified or not, when de
polled with a bank are received by
it as virtually commercial paper;
and to tbe depositor thereof the bank
! holds the legal relatioa of au agent
undertaking to collect tne amount
specified ia the checks, but not un-i
dertaking to guarantee the same. If

performance of this duty, it has no
responsibility for tbe checks in the
event of their not being paid. It bas
the right to retara them to the de
positor from whom it received them,
and wbaterer loss may arise from
their non-payment uust fall upon
him. Its responsibility begins and
ends with exercising due diligence in
promptly presenting the checks for
payment to the bank or banks, against
wbicb they were drawn.
These rules ia respect to tbe check
system hare frequently been affirmed
by judicial decisions. Ibey are
founded in equity and common sense;
abd this ia w very gooa reason wby
ibey should be founded inlaw.
II w t Hu Pletarea.
No picture ought to be hung higher
than the height of the average hu
man eye when the owner of the eye
is standing. It is the almost univer
sal rule in our house to hang pictures
much above ibis level, and they can
not be enjoyed there. If the picture
is a portrait, or if it have faces ia it,
its eyes should look as nearly into
ours as possible, and if there be no
such simple guide, perhaps a good
rule wou.d be to have the line tbat
divides the picture horizontally into
equal parts level with tbe eje. If
one starts in banging pictures with
the determination to place tbem so
tbat tbey can be easily seen and en
joyed without stretching tbe neck the
least, or stooping the body, he trill
be pretty sure to do welL In remote
farm bouses and country taverns we
often see pictures, particularly por
traits, skyed as high as if their own
ers bad been Academy bangers, and
tbe painters young rivals of a now
school. I suppose tbe reason is that
tbe simple-hearted owners tbink a
picture such a precious thing, it
caa't be hung too securely out of the
reach of meddling bands. Tbey are
often not clear in tbeir minds as to
what a picture is meant for, and not
Ending ia it any practical relatioa to
human life and society, they treat it
with reverence, and put it where it
will disturb them as little as possible.
But as people come to enjoy pictures
and gel some intellectual, spiritual
nourishment out of them, they want
tbem, as tbey want their books,
where tbey can see tbem and use
tbem.
IIw ( rc4 Cora Stalks Properly.
Tbe rearing and feediug of animals
is receiving, as it should, from far
mers aad herdsmen in all parts of the
country greater attention every year;
and especially is this true ef dairy
men, whose oaly hope of gain rests
ia their success in obtaining paying
yields from tbeir cows Cora stalks
enter largely into tbe fall feed ot
dairy cows, and how to feed tbem is
tbe important question. Tbe com
mon practice is to feed them in the
bundle, as but few farmers feel able
or willing to use a cutting machine.
I his feeding in bundle without any
preparation, I am fully satisfied is
very wasteful as not only are tbe
butts left, but frequently nearly the
whole stock.
I have learned by experience tbat
a little briie sprinkled upon the stalks
once every day, just before feeding,
is ot material advantage in many re
spects. The weak brine will cause
the cows to consume nearly all, erea
when fed whole; the flow of miik in
creases, tbe condition of the cows
improve, and tbey show greater con
tentment, especially is tbe last re
mark true on cold, windy and rainy
days. I find it much better as a
general rule, when it can be done, to
feed salt on tbe food, instead of feed
ing it alone. In no case should more
tbaa one day be permitted to pass
without it Cows should bare access
to plenty of water; the brine food
will cause them to drink mere aud
thus increase tbe flow of milk. Let
my brothers try it and tbey will
hereafter place a greater value upon
corn stalks.
Thet talk about tbe reckless ex
travagance of the American people,
and yet a Baagor man worked all

One New York woman, not quite
spoiled, has worked this out for her
self rery satisfactorily, and ber ex
ample may stimulate others.
Some time ago she lired with ber
husband and two daughters, one
grown the other still at school in
a nice house, on a good side street,
and kept two servants: not aa exten
sive establishment, but enough with
her small family to obviate the ne
cessity for much exertion on her part.
Wben the oldest daughter left school
(like all other daughters who leave
school), she wanted to go to Europe,
and the mother, worked upon by sym
pathizing friends, sooa became con
vinced that it was necessary for the
two daughters' health and ber own
(though persons more capable of do
ing justice to excellent roast beef
never lived) that they should all go
to Europe, and io Europe they ac
cordingly went; the husband giving
up the bouse and establishing him
self in bachelor quarters.
But the realization of tbe dream
was not so pleasant as anticipated;
or perhaps the wife found tbat the
husband became reconciled to tbeir
absence too earlr. At any rate, af
ter six months of absence, she return
ed without being sent for, to find her
husband depressed by business diffi
culties, bis tenants gone without hav
ing paid the rent and much of the
nice furniture ruined. Fortunately,
she belonged to good old stock, who,
when they see tbeir duty, do it She
rescued what she coold of the furni
ture, and transferred it to a pretty,
but Terr unostentatious "flat" up
town, abjve tbe fifties, and with tbe
furniture out of the way and a re
duced rental, managed to secure a
gcod. regularly paving tenant
When the daughters proposed go
ing to the intelligence office after
"help," she said:
"No, my daughters; we will help
each other, and in that way help papa
out of his difficulties."
So they organized tbeir modern
housbold on a simple, but very prac
tical footing, which has proved de
lightful. They might very well bi:e
all tbe help they chose now, but tbey
would not do it on any account.
They laughingly declare that their
firm has resumed specie payments,
for their expenses are so light com
pared with what they were formerly,
tbat moaey is plentiful, wad tbe papa
insists, as tbe household is so well
done, upon giving as an allowance
for the girls, double the amount he for
merly paid io wages. I am sorry to
say tbat this pattern woman is not a
full blooded Newlorker. She was
born ia New Englacd.

Some time before tbe introduction
of railroads, Gov. Metcaif represen
ted in Congress a district of wbicb
Nicholas county was a part Mr.
Clay was Secretary of State under
President John Quincy Adams. Tbe
two distinguished politicians agreed
to travel to Washington ia Governor
Metcaif s carriage. While passing
through the Slate of Pennsylvania,
Mr. Clay told Gov. Metcaif that be
bad received intimations tbat in a
certain towa tbey were approaching
be would be honored by an oration
by the citizens. Just before coming
to tbe town Gov. Metcaif, wbo had
all along been driving, suggested to
Mr. Clay tbat he take tbe line and
drive, as be himself was tired. Mr.
Clay readily conseated, whereupon
tbe Governor took the back seat in
the carriage. Mr. Clay drove the
if ara successfully into tbe town, and
they were met by a large concourse
of people. Gov. Metcaif align ed
from the carriage, and being asked
whether he was Mr. Clay, answered
yes, tbat be was glad to meet tbem,
iic, and at this the cowd fairly
hoisted him opoa their shoulders and
triumphantly started with him to tbe
place of reception. Looking back at
Mr. Clay, wbo still sat in the car
riage somewhat nonplussed, tbe Gov.
cried: "Driver, tale those horses to
tbe stable and feed tbem." Tbe
merriment of the crowd, wben tbe
joke was discovered, can belter be
imagined than described Mr. Clay,
himself, as heartily entering into it ea

Bye l'rtui Oa seed.
Mr. P. Smith, of Shorty ille, N. Y.
writes;
"A farmer brought into my mill
the other day, a bunch ot rye stubble
ia which 1 counted 109 stalks. Did
tbey all come from one kernel of rye?
It grew on a piece of new land sow
ed to wheat and there was a little
rye in the seed. Tbe wheat killed
out Where tbe wheat did not kill
out there was only now and then a
bunch of rye. Some of my custo
mers wbo have seen this think tbat
there was a rye head from which
these bunches came, but this could
not be as tbey had never raised any
rye on tbe farm before and never as
a crop."
"Tbe Rurjl New Yorker says in
reference to tbe problem ; We see no
reason for doubtiog tbat the produce
was from one grain. It is a large
yield, but on new gromd well pre
pared for wheat and leaving the rye
plaat standing alone is not beyond a
reasonable probability. It shows
how large a product caa be got from
thin seeding if every plant has a fair
chance.

What shall we do with old horses
is a question of some importance to
the owners of tbat valuable animal.
After years of faithful service nnder
the saddle and in harness, this old
friend of man becomes superannated
and no longer-able to do effective
work. What shall we do with him ?
To torn him out to die would be cruel
iu the extreme ; to sell bim to some
animal in tbe shape of a man who
wouiu overwora mm, ana nan starve
bim, would be worse; to keep bim
op and take good care of bim would
be troublesome and expensive, espe
cially to a farmer or other person
wbo is compelled by bis occupation
to keep ten or twelve horses. Some
individuaie would be disposed to end
bis Bufferings by poison or by vio
lence, but tbat is revolting to a per
son of ordinary sensibility; there
fore the question comes up, "what
shall be done with him ?"
