ATOROOTTB OtfARD. The Islands of Rugen, in the Bai lie, opposite Strakund, is a strong t,,rai wviitinn Ptronrir fortified. During the campaign of 1S07, Dri vouet had occupied it with a regi ment of infantry and some compan ies of sappers and pioneers, and one of the infantrymen was Firmin Bernard, a young soldier posted as sentry on a little eminence near the It was mklniirht when tl corpor al of the guard left him, and he ex pected to be relieved at two o clock, which would leave him three hours 1n ltrfore morning. The minutes riowly wore away, and the two nvnfilin(r to the sentry's cal culation, had about expired, when puddenlyhe heard a sound as of footsteps approaching. . "Good ! Here comes the relief, said Firmin Bonard to himself, then cried aloud, "who goes there ?" There was no reply. "And yet 1 heard something," muttered the sol dier, "and I can take my oath my two hours are up." Almost imme diately thereafter there was another rustle in the bushes, then a hark, and the poodl Capucin, the dog oj the Regiment and a warm irergonal friend of the young sentry bounded up to him. On hearing the doz hark the sen- mel nt first fancied that something wns wrdiisr. and cocking his musket lie cat a searching glance, into the obscurity, holding his breath to lis ten. Rut there was neither sound nor tight of a foe, and Capucin, clam bering up the rocks, came bounding to Bonard's feet "Oh, that's you, old fellow, is it. raid the soldier. " 1 ou lounu u uuu, did you ? Well, Capucin, it is not particularly lively here. It is a nitv vnu didn't think to invite the ixrporal to accompany you, for the night is decidedly cool, and I havean disnosition to sleep conic upon me. The corporal's watch is always slow, nnd will lie until he takes it to the blacksmith for repairs." In response to these words, to which he had patiently listened, Cap ucin began to bark and anu gamooi furiously round his friend. "Oh, yeu think if I am chilled and sleepy I had better warm my blood and wake myself up with dance, eh ? But Capucin, you have no musket to carry, or you wouldn't frisk eo. Still Capucin continued to bark and to run, now to the right, now to the left, as if possessed, until finally loosing all Datience he came up to the soldier seized him by the over coat and tusrsred so heartily at it that he tore away a fragment of the cloth. Bonard was not in the bett hu mor originally, now his anger wa6 increased and" transferred from the absent corporal to the present Cap ucin and he saluted the animal witn a lusty kick. The do2 was visably ericved to be so maltreated and niisundersood and retired to some little distance, and 6lowly returned, looking re proachfully at the soldier and hek- lnz his hands. "Go ! Be off with you !" said Bonard, steeling his heart and threat ening him with the butt end of his piece. Capucin seeing that he could not prevail with him at last retired, of ten looking back and barking invit ingly. But the sentry stood resolute at his post and Capucin just reached the beach in time to embark with the corporal in the last boat, for Napoleon had formed a new strate gic combination and was retiring in land, and had sent Davoust orders to join him instantly, evacuating Rugen on an hour's notice. In the bustle the corporal every one but Capucin had forzotten all about Bonard. Firmin Bonard pacing his beat with his ' musket under his arm, heard three o'clock strike in the distant belfry of the old church of Rugen, then four, then five. The swallows began to twitter and the sun came up. Losing all patience, and in des perate defiance to all military law, which enjoined him to remain on post until he was duly relieved, he descended the heights and sought the guard house. "If anybody is going to be shot," he growled, "it ought to be the corporal, for the idea of leaving a roan on guard for six hours is absurd." So saying he entered the guard house, and found it deserted. "The devil 1" he exclaimed and was sore ly puzzled, but after a few moments reflection came to the conclusion that the regiment had moved during the night to some other part of the Island. Throwing his gun over his shoulder, he set off across the Island and presently came to peas ant who was ploughing in a field. 'My good man," said the soldier, can you tell me which way the r rench troops have gone 7 "By water,' answered the peasant, surprised at seeing the solitary sol dier, "I don't know where they have pone, but at two o'clock this morn ing they sailed with the greatest hate and in the completest silence.'' "Gone !" said the entry, "and they have abondoned me ! I shall be set down as a deserter. Damn that corporal he cot only left me on watch six hours, but he has ru ined my reputation dishonored me. Now I understand poor Capu cin's visit ; he came to warn me that they were going, and I, dull fool that I was, could not under stand him. Good dog, and kicked him the first title one of our men ever struck him. Oh, Capu.-In, why didn't you think of toaring the cor poral's coat too ?" And the sentinel burst into tears of regret and despair. "Come, come, my son," said the peasant kindly ; "Don't give way so. Cryit.g won't mend matters. Stav here : you can't dj anything else. If t!ie French return and, take rou I will explain cverv thing. "But you do not understand what martial law is if Ihey return there will be no pity shown me." "Tut-tut 1 That is absurd. You cannct be punished for a crime you never committed. If anybody is to be blamed it is your superiors who forgot everything About you." Firmin Bonard madeno reply, but swept with despairingly hopeful eye the distant horizon. Alas ! there was not the white fleck of a single sail to be seen, and again he gave way to his grief. "Take my advice," said the old man, "and bear up with a good heart You too are from the rural , parts, unless I am greatly mistaken, andean find in me a friend if you are only willing to let me befriend yon.", "But you know nothing about me whether I am fit" "I am an old man and long accus tomed to read the faces of my fel-lows,''- aid the . peasant, smiling. "Before von took upthcmnsltet you have held the plough. I need a la borer, vigorous and intelligent like vourself. (kmie with me and I will feed, lodgo and clothe you, and see that you have something in your pocket every Saturday night for a Sunday frolic." "I accept your offer thankfully, said Firmin "Bonard, "aud you shall see that a French soldier is not les faithful to the plough by which lie gains a livelihood, than lie was to the flag of his distant country." As the farm of Fetor Uaxen, the peasant with whom Firmin Bonard had fallen in, was one of the largest in the island, the soldier returned to his old calling, did not lack for op- poriuuiucs 10 snow n;s sk.ni uuu in dustry, and Fjeedly convinced the rich peasant of his value. "My friend," he said to Firmin one day, "I love you as I would my own sou." . - "If it were not' replied Firmin, that my old father in France waitsj and hopes anxioneiy icr my re turn. 1 should never care to leave Rugen." . . "You will seehini once more, said the farmer ; "and when you go to France to sec him, why should you not bring him back to" Rugen with you ? that, however, we can speak - x rr l T ol at some luiure lime. io-uay x wish to speak to you concerning my daughter." A flush covered the young French man's face as the feasant's keen eye saw. "If I am not wrong," he con tinued, "She and you are very friendly." Girmin stammered something un intelligible. "In fact,' the old man went on"the neighbors say vou are in love with her." '"What? Who says so? I swear to you, sir, that I never addressed to your daughter one word which would make her aware " "Precisely , and that is why she has desired me to ask you to. You shall marry her. I have already promised her that i would be so, and she hugged me no for a quarter of an hour by the clock that I real ly commenced to think that she would strangle me." Firmin hugged him, too, and a fortnight later trccame the husband of the old peasant's only daughter, the rich, pretty and amiable Ame lia. Four years passed away four years of toil and love. Firmin Bon ard thought otten of France, but came to forget his technical deser tion. The prattling of his two chil dren, the embraces of his wife, were a present that answered for the lu ture ; 6mall wonder that he forgot the past So matters went on till one morn ing the signal was made that sever al vessels were in sight, then r.s they drew nearer the word went round the island : "It is the French ! They are going to land I" The words came to Firmin Bon ard's ears like alarm guns, and lie felt that he was a lost man. A sud den thought came to him, however, and reassured him somewhat : dash in? to his dwellins he put on his old uniform and shako and ran down to the spot where some live years before he had been strangely ahan doned. Soon barges filled with soldiers were seen to put off from the ships that had rounded to and dropped anchor. In the bow of one was a white poodle that barked joyously on seeing solid ground once more. Firman Bonard saw the dojr and fancied that lie recognized in him Canucin. and his eves filled with tears. Still the barges approached. Capu cin it was Capicun, indeed evi dently recognized the inland, looked around eagerly, espied the sentry, then standing on his hind legs gave one rapturous howl and plunging into the sea swam with all his might shoreward. An instant later and the boats ere within hailing distance. "Who goes there?" shouted Firmin Bonard in a voice of thun der. "Who roes there yourself?'' shout ed one of Davoust's staff from the 'eading boat, "who are vou, anv how ?" "Firmin Bonard, private of the Sixty-eighth of the line, on guard." "Oh guard ? How long have you been on ruard ?" "Since 12 o'clock on the nisrht of May 13, 1S07." At this reply everyone burst out laughing. The first boat's prow had not quite touched the shore when Capucin had scrambled up the steep bank and with a tremendous bound cast himself, barking furiously into the arms of his old friend. Barks. eamboline. somersaults, licking off hand, face, feet all imaginable demonstrations of canine joy. "Go on, old fellow,r soblcd the soldier, with tears rolling down his cheeks, "tear my coat and muddy it as much as you like to-day, anil I won't say anything. I remember when I 6truck you for showing me all your affection and intelligence." When he had somewhat recover ed from Lis emotion, Firman Bon- ard, followed by the faithful dog. went down to the beach to greet his comrades and tell his story. Luck ily the corporal, who was now an officer on Davoust's st aff, was there to corroborate it The regiment feasted him royally, and ho in re turn, invited everyone to the farm, where he and his wife did the hon ors cordially. It was notion ere the news reach ed Marshal Davonst's ears. He laughed heartily at Firmin Bonard's stratagem, and having satisfied him self that the ' soldier 8 antecedents were irreproachable, ordered his discharge to -z made out in due form. "Far be it from roe." said the Marshal, "after he had leen on watch for five vears without being relieved to send this ga!tant fellow before n court martial." Firmin Bonard remained on the farm. lie visited France that year and brongbt his father back to" the island of Rugen. His children to day hold the most important posi tions there and their family is known as "the family of tho French sentry." When trie French again withdrew from the island, Capucin resigned his commission in the Sixty-eighth of the line. He had enough of glory, and the quiet life of abund ance and happiness that his friend led at the farm was more to his taste. He came to understand wise dog ! that life on the farm ! might be quite as pleasant as life in camp, and that there were infinitely fewer dangers in it So Capucin remained at the farm. In mixed society, a clean often carries off the palm. hanJ WUhiitff nd Willi. Wishing won't do much for any one in the world. There a great number of dreamers and visionaries, people who put on the "wishing cap," and desire all sorts of nice things to coaio to them. They ex pect gold and all nice things to drop into their lan. But they are mis taken. Wishes won't do much for anyone. The only way to get any thing id not to sigh for it with a wish, but to work for it with a will. That is the way ; and the only way. The working man knows that He knows that wishes won't manufac ture daily bread for him. He goes out to his work with a stout heart, and earns a day's wages with a day's laW. A Moiiolar docs not expect to excel and .ct the highest prize without inks isc toil You must work with a v ill if you would get anything worth having. Rut it is astonishing what an earnest will can do. Poor boys have lxconie rich men. Imorant bovs have become wise men. Obscure boys who were known only in a village have come out in the eye of the world, and have been known far and wide as distinguished men. They might always have remained in tiie quiet village but for this will, which, like the wings of a bird, bore them right out of it ull into tha wide world at mosphere. I'll tell vou a story of one who made a name for himseif, and gam ed great renown and great jnisses sions by the simple force of his char acter.

No, he didn't do that, be cause he knew that tears of regret would not help him in the least. He had his pleasant dreams, as I have told you, but he set himselt to worK.

All kinds of coarse feed finds ready sale in our market at a good price. Hay ranges from Hi to ?1S per ton, according to qual ity. 0;it straw brings from $S to S10, and is in good demand. t Other fodder sells in proportion to it val ue for feeding purposes. This has caused much stinted feeding among farmers. Oat and barley straw have been substituted for hav, in view of having a surplus of that article to carry to market. I heard a farmer say "that he had thus far wintered his cattle almost wholly upon his straw stack, built in the center of his barnyard. 1 visited his barn yard and found his stock had eaten far into the lower portion of the stack. Little other feed (a few corn stalks) had been given them. His stock, seemingly, was in good condi tion. Ihe animals appeared lull and hearty. But, as I ventured to suggest to the fanner, appearances are deceiving. The stock, well filled with the large bulk of straw which thev had eaten, appeared better than they really were. Young, hcalthv cattle, brousht into their winter quarters in cood flesh, will subsist largely uixmi good straw un til midwinter, and show to the own er no marked falling off m flesh. But if the same feed is continued the stock will, unless fed grain, show a sudden falling off in condition be fore Spring. I have always thought it poor economy, even in seasons of scarcity of fodder like tho present, to save fo lder at the expense of stock. It is wise economy at such times to employ every paying method by which less food will be required ; but it is not prudent to deprive stock in any instance of their just allowance. Good oat or barley straw is a useful auxiliary in wintering stock, when feed in connection with grains or other fodder, but it cannot le relied on alone. Car. Country Gentlemen. A Touching Storr.

You have probably heard of "llDbfonV choice," but Hobson didn't begin with a man named Baker, who belonged to a camp in the cm !y days of silver mining in XeviiL - When he had been there a year they could not remember of a single day having passed that he did not developed some new ail ment J had leg ache, backache, sore thn. , pleurisy, earache, asth ma, . ami .t hundred other things, but after about a year all these ail ments sort o' consolidated, as if by mutual consent, into tle toothache. There was eight men in a log hut, I and he was thscook. After the tooth ache struck him ho was no good. He growled in the morning, swore atnoo:iand when night came and the men were ready for sleep he would begin : "Oh, liord! Oh, iny stars; Oh, Peter and Paul and everybody else, but I know I shall never live to see daylight P Night after night he kept them awake with his groans and howls. Itwas little any onecould do for him. The aching-tooth was a big fellow, with a cavity clear to the root, and Baker hadn't the grit of a child. Other men, similarly afflicted, had gone to Lig Tom Black and his shoemaker's pincers, but no money could hire Baker to have that tooth out. He applied cold water, hot ashe3, burnt rag, and even drove a pin plug into the cavity, but it was no go. r.very ten minutes he sung out : "I'm dying and no one has the least sympathy for inc. Oh! why did I leave Mary and the children ar.u tne Mate oi iuienigan : They finally decided not to stand it any longer, unc morning they seized Baker and tied him hand and foot and sent for the tooth pull er. W hen big loin arrived Baker was as white as a ghost, and could hardly speak, lie vaj told that tooth had to come out and he re plied : "Sec here, boya, I've got a choice in this thing. I'm sorry I made you so much trouble, but I can't lose that tooth. I'd rather you'd cut off one of my little toes." "I'll be sculpted if we don't," said the captain "Off with his left boot, and I'll unjint that toe in a York enrtnn. ' They expected Baker to "cave"' but he never flinched. He settled down on his hack, shut his eyes and said : "Go ahead, boys the tooth feels better already." Ihceaptian found the toe a poor affair at best, afflicted with a hig corn, and the nail gone, and being out of temper lie actually cut it off at the joint and fixed up the stump in a workmanlike manner. Baker uttered no groan during the opera tion, and from that hour until tin; day he left camp, full fourteen months, he never had a moment's trouble v. ith'his teeth, Detroit Free Prett. How She Itclali.itctl. It was a suit for divorce. The hus band, a surly, mean-faced, ferret-ev ed, beetle-browed man, wanted a di vorce from lus wile. Ihey were both in court. The woman was sickly-lookinz. and, very likely, had been driven into hysterics by the brute who called himself her hus band. The principal witness for the plaintiff was another beetle-brow ed, lcrret-cved, mean-visaged fellow, who was shop keeper for the latter and boarded in his family. And this witness had been "cooked" had been "done up brown" by botl his employer and his employer's lawyer. It was plainly to be seen that he answered by note that the words lie sjoke had been put into his mouth by another. hen the counsel for the wife came to ques tion this witness, after his own law yer had done with him, he said to him, with a smile, the whole pjcant for the jury, of course : l ou ve got your lesson pretty well, havn tyou, sir "I havn't got no lesson." -, "All right.

The pro cess is thus described ; The bod' of tho barrel li all made in one piece, of coarse wood pulp. The pressure to which it is subject ed is 400 tons. The heads are made of one piece in the same way, and when put together the barrel is ex ceedingly light, and salisfactorv every way. There arc two kinds, one for fruit, flour and other Cry substances ; the other for oil, lard, and liquids of all kinds. A flour barrel made in this way and filled can be dropped from a wagon to the pavement without injury. Fruit packed in these receptacles keep longer than when put up in the us ual way. bcins drv and exeluded from the air.

There had been three men killed in as many weeks iust before on our division and I said at once to myself, 'we've hit another man.' Just then the conductor told me to run back and Hag the traiu behind us. Off I put in the. dark ness. I fell into two cattle guards ana men went plump over a body thai lay on the track. I picked my- sell up and lound 1 was covered with blood. I tell you it sent a cold chill up my back. Then I turned my lantern on the body, and vou may believe it took a great load off me to find it was only a cow. I re sumed my run alqng tho track, and in a minute or two I heard a noise as if some one was following me. I looked back and could see nothing. l starteu on ana tne noise began again, sounding jqst like several per sons running along after me on the ties. I began to get disoouraged and taking off two of the torpedoes 1 had fastened to mv lantern I twist ed them onto the rails, thinking that it anything happened to me or my lantern the explosion would warn the engineer of the coming train be fore he ran into the cow or into our train, which had been stopping to fix something about the engine that had been broke'n when wc hit the cow. The torpedoes laid, I started on once more. Again I heard the steps, this time ahead of ms on the track. 1 followed on and soon the train I was flagging came around a curve, l.y the glare from the head light I could see that the patter on the ties that I had heard was caused by several cows and thy were right ahead of me on tli e track: I made a rush for them, swinging my lan tern and shouting and drove them off into the ditch.

Fancy two canal boats moored parallel to each other, in mid river, about fifteen or twenty feet apart, and supporting between them the crank of a gigantic mill- wheel, turned by tlic current of the stream. Fancy, moreover, the sides of one of theso boats carried up one story higher than those of the other, then rooted over a la iSoalrs ark, with doors and windows as needed and you have a fair idea of these Uanube gram mill, some four or five thousand of which, in groups of ten or a dozen together are scattered along this watcrv highway, all the way down from Vienna to Belgrade. Each mill is inscribed with its owner's name, and I fountl time in passing to cony one er two, such as "Juhas Istvany ces Landos," and "Jonasvitch Makopopom" as being curious sample oi Magyar peasant nomenclature. As tho steam er goes shooting by theso mills, so close that the "clack, clack" of the mill-wheel is distinctly audible, it is amusing to note the inmates, look ing lor all the ivorld like Humpty Dumpty in tho vday, rushing to their doors or wintiows to wave a salute- end have look at the pas- sengers. .

The modern housebreaker is, how ever, a far different person, and plays for a different stake. He lias probably been in prison, learned the tricks of the trade in the hours of combined labor while undergoing penal servitude at Dartmoor or Port land. It is here that he receives the first smattering of hi scientific education. He may have been a clerk or a discharged footman, or a small shopman, or an errand lad, some one who embezzled or purloin ed, and the discipline of his pris on career has resulted in nothing more than preparing him for the ex citing trade of a professional thief. Society, he argues, has injured him by depriving him of his liberty, and he intends to bo revenged upon so ciety. He becomes a companion of old thieves, and he is elected a broth er in the freemasonry of crime. He is told where property can be found, how it can be stolen, and where it can be disposed of. Stories of rob beries and burglaries, and midnight adventures sound as fascinating 'as the yarns of miners at the diggings.

He knows what po liceman can bs bribed, what infor mation is ncccisarv for his under taking ; what public houses and oth er haunts are frequented by thieves, and what should be the gen eral plan of the campaign on which he has entered. He does not go rashly to work, bides his time, set ting his traps and snares with the care of an old sportsman, Uncon sciously, domestic servants, male and female, drift into this world of roguery and before they are aware of it, are led to betry the confidence of their employers. They are plaus able fellows, these modern burglars; they can tell a good story and sing a song; they can flirt with the silly maids; and will "walk out with them" on Sundays ; they bet a lit tle and play cards and. gradually they enmesh a household by the agency of the indoor servants who have not the faintest idea of the re al objects of the crafty fellows who have made themselves so agreeable. People express themselves surprised at the constant success of the confi dence trick, and all of the devices in which good acting and plausibility are opposed to selfishness and vani ty ; and yet they cannot realize the . fact that agents ot the "intelligence department oi knavery are con stantlv on the alert. Expulsion from the Garden of lOurn. Old Judge Gustavus Swan, cf Columbus, Ohio, was a "character of his day. One day a missionary canea on hirn lor a contribution -ow,"said the Judge, "I'll tell you what I'll do : I will ask vou a simple question in the scripture, and if you answer it correctly I will give you twenty-five dollars ;" if not, nothing." The clergyman brightened up at once ana agreed to the proposition, "Well, now," said the Judge. "can you tell me why God drove Adam and Eve out of Paradise" "Certainly," said tho clergyman, "that is a very simple question ; it was because they ate the forbidden fruit e-.ontrary to. the command of God." mere, said the judge, it is as I supposed ; I have asked the ques tion of a hundred different clergy men and never yet got a correct answer. I see you are no wiser than the rest Vou ought to give me twenty-five dollars for being so ignorant of the most important fact in connection with the fall of man. But I will send you away with my simple blessing and the true answe-r to the question. If you will look into your Bible, which you seem to have read so carefully, you will see it written : 'And the 'Lord said, Be hold the man has become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now. lest lie put his hand and take also ot the tree of life and live forever, therefore the Lord sent him forth from the Garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was tiken.' "Think," added the Judge, with a sly twinkle in his eye, "what a great mercy it was to drive them out, for supiK)se they had by some chance got hold of the tree of life, and thus the tree had been perpetuated for- eyer on the earth. Why, bv this time we would have been piled mountain high utton euuih other. and what an awful struggle there would have been for life and hap piness. 1 he clergyman departed a wiser if not a happier man. IlloodleMi Amputation. Within the last five vears surgical science has made some wonderful improvements la its operations, among which may ho mentioned the grafting of human skin and freez ing with ether spray tumors to be operated upon ; but nothing that modern surgeons have achieved is so calculated to ease mankind and preserve life n3 the invention of the Lsmarehe bandage for performing bloodless operations. It is an in vention of very recent date, not yet in use by all Burgeons, and almost unknown to the physicians of the back country. There u uned an elastic bandage of rubLcr and cord, called froai the French surgeon who invented it the Esmarche bandage, which is wraped very tightly about the leg or arm to be "operated upon. The wrapping begins at the extremi ty of the limb and is continued to a point about the place of cision very tightly. The wrapping drives all th blood from the "limb. At the top of the bandage a tourniquet is placeel, which gives a heavy pre sure upon the principal artery. The bandage is then removed, and the operation is performed. Amputations are made by this plan where tht knife is unstained, and not a drop of blood I shed during the cLskm. Tho flesh is white, and the opera tion may be performed with more ease tiian when, as formerly, the blood was spurting forth. All the blood of the body is saved to strengthen the patient By this meth od hundreds of lives have been sav ed during the last year. After the limb has been amputated the blood must be allowed to flow a little in order that the arteries may bo dis covered and bound up. In.no case, by this method, is over an ounce of blood shed, By the old method pa tients often died upon the amputat ing ouch, or soon afterwards, from excessive hemmorrage. like all new methods, it is blindlv rejected m oiu school piiysicians, wfio re- gard nothing good save the anti-i quated. j Love me little, but keep ii up.
