my 'wKi)ixa xorn.
I was only Bcvcntccn whe n Char
lie married me, and I wrote mvself
for the first time Mr?. Charlie Vail,
Jr., and 6aw the initials of the same
emblazoned on the end of my new
Saritoga trunk, when we started on
our wedding journey. My wedding
journey! I can epeak of it calmly
now, but the time was when it har
rowed up my inmost soul. To this
day Charley becomes wroth when it
is mentioned, and says it is my
4:blamed imagination ;" but he knows,
and I know well, that that is only
one of tiiose convenient liitlo loop
holes through which big masculiiti-
tv can crawl m :emcr''ency : and
the facta remaining unchanged and
inuisnutaLile, 1 shall tlciy Chamc
and elate them to the world.
Imagine then reader, or listener,
who ever you inav be, that the last
silken train has swept itself out of
Trinitv chapel, and the last note of
the inevitable "Wedding March'
shuddered itself out of the big groan
ing organ, and that Charlie and I
are married. Also, that the kissing
and cryin?: over is achieved, and the
voices of 111 y husbands si-tors and
my maiucn aunis, nauiug uown
blessings on our heads, are happily
lost in distance that the only sound
we hear is the rattle and roar of an
express train thundering eastward,
and I am looking out into the golden
noonday, watching the fields . and
roads and villages and .woodlands
race past us, and sweep back into
a stream like running water. There
we sat, two blissful young fools
but it isn't of our bliss or our fool
ishness either, that 1 am pping to
tell you only of the singular ad
venture of our wedding tour.
Charlie hadn't told inc where we
were to go, and I rather liked being
left in ignorance, knowing no more
than that we were being swept away
to some little paradise of our own
it might be to an island of the
Hesperidcs or Crusoe's kingdom of
Eden itself. We stopped at a good
many stations by the way that look
ed anything but paradisical ; but I
saw everything through a glass,
rosily, as I &at there demure and
mute, bT Charlie's Bide. The shad
ows were growing short, and it was
just noon when we stopped at some
"vile or other, whose long, low,
strangling building", crowding close
upon the track, and the broad, dusty
village street, branching off at right
angles, are photographed upon my
memory. Not for anything intrin
sically remarkable ; there were only
a good many teams and farm wagons
and open carriages, and light carry
als standing about, with the lazy
horses rubbing their noses against
worm-eaten posts, under the row of
drooping green tree?, and plenty of
people on the platform, crowding
together forgreetings and good-byes ;
it was a commonplace everyday
picture enough, and not even a pret
ty one, except in fragments. There
was a general exodus from the car,
and a rush uinncrward, as wc sup
posed, toward the twinging sign of
some "House" or other down the
lazv little country street; and Char
lie," looking at his watch, said it was
12 o'clock and didn't I want some
lunch ? '
Of course I didn't, but of course I
must have it, he said, and immedi
ately started up. lie wouldn't be
fiye minutes, lie said, and I musn't
move till he came back. I was to
guard our two seats, and let no one
come nigh them, and, above all, I
was to sit still, and not be led astray
by any possible warnings to change
cars. u We're going through," Char
lie remarked, '"so just keep the
seats, and don't pay any attention."
I nodded obedience, and Mr. Vail
marched out of the car, leaving me
to eer after him in the crowd and
catch the last glimpse of his straw
hot vanishing down tht street
I watched the crowd, when Char
lie was out of sight, and miised and
wondered at the faces, and built up
all sorts of dreamy speculations
then, as one does in a crowd when
they have nothing better to think of.
Presently the door banged open, and
the voice of some unseen functiona
ry shouted, "Change care for Bos
ton !"
Everybody began to scramble
their bundles and canes together,
and there was a rush among the
few who remained my fellow-pas-wnnis.
I watched them go without
emotion, and merely settled myself
more comionaoijr jui iuc wuuj
journey through which Charlie had
indicated wondering a little where
its terminus might be, but in cowieo
disturbed or anxious thereat. I
stared out at the people five minutes
longer at least bo 6aid the fat-faced
clock in the ladies room opposite
my window, though I made it fifty
at least by mental calculation and
then the door swung open again.
This time a head projected itself in
to the door, roared "All out!" evi
dently at me and vanished again.
SOMERSET.
I won't get out," I replied defying
!the eniptv car. "Charlie, told me
to sit still, and I'm 'going "to. Oh,
Clii.rlie! why in the world tlon't
you come back T'
Hut no Charlie came to answer
me, and I began to stare out in the
crowd with more anxious eyes, and
to grow a little hot and uneasy, and
to think, with certain unpleasant
chills running down my back, what
should become of me if the train
hould start and Charlie shouldn't
come back at all! At this awful
1 point of my meditation the locomo
! live gave "vent t an unearthly
! screcteh, which I took for a premon
itory symptom of departure, and I
jw.is" so tcriificd that I started up
from my seat just as the little door
swung hack ibr the third time, to
admit a last warning, like that of
Frier liacon's brazen head. This
time the face reappeared on a b
shaggy suit of clothes some six
feet 'in height, and was a grim, not
to sav irate, visage.
"Change cars, miss !" said tho
person crufilv. "I told vou so twice
before !"
"I'm tosit still," I replied mecklv
"I'm going through." I thought
this ws the ri-'ht thins to say, be-
raue Charlie had said it ; but
didn't have the right effect
it
"Change cars then there's the
Poston train over there. This car
runs back to New York."
I tiinply stared at the person, ie
a dotrTcd wav thr.t seemed to takn
very ill.
'Come! lie exciaimed, waxinp;
impatient. "Vou can't "sit here all
day, you know. Where do you want
to go r
'I I don t know, I summer
ed, "I was told to sit still, and 11
must wait till the person comes
back."
The man stared back at me now
with interest "Where's your ticket?"
said he, extending a dirty hand.
"I havn t got it, I answered in
meek and conciliating tone. "My
Char at least, the gentleman
who is with me has got them both."
'The
gentleman ! Pretty fellow
Told you to sit still did
lie is!
ho?"
I made no reply to thin unwar
rantable lack of respect in referring
to my absent lord, but drew myself
up and looked severely out ot the
window.
ell, you can t go uacK to iSew
York," - observed my tormentor,
sumniarly. "The best thing for
vou to do is to get out and look for
your gentleman, miss." Saj-ing
which, he jerked my bag down from
the rack, turned tho opposite seat,
which Charlie had inverted, back
into its place and. bv a species of
moral suasion, caused me to pick
up -my shawls, pansoi, etc, ana
follow him in abject submission to
the door.
"Now where did the gentleman
CO?" he demanded, as he handed me
out on the platform.
lie went in to get me some lunch.
I replied, almost ready, at this cri
sis to disgrace my bnuehooa ana
crv.
ud told you to sit still, tlid he?
Weil, you stand right here and keep
a lookout lor mm. incres me
Poston train over there, gees in 15
minutes, aad he can't get into it
without you seeing him, if he ain't
inside already ; and my advice i,
stick fast to lam it you una him,
for he must need looking after !"
With which remarkable words
the man set down mv bag, and
winked, at a bystander.
W hat's the row I inquired, the
person thus mvitea to participate
in the enjoyment of my woes. Then
they whispered about me, I sup
pose and everybody stooa anastar-
d at me.
Poor little bride !. There I stood,
holdinz fast my parasol, with a
shawl oa one arm, my own small
shall on tho other, and Charho s
bigger one at my feet, feeling like a
very "lone lorn critter" indeed.
There stood three men in a knot,
contemplating rae, and any quanti
ty of the same species coming and
going, who all looked at me as they
passed, and then' turned around
and stared again and there was no
Charlie visible in all the range of
surrounding country. Dire thoughts
began to be born within me, and to
turn me cold and damp with ex
treme terror; the nightmare of my
infancy "being lost" came back
upon me, and crushed my seven
teen years and the new dignity of
Mrs. Charles Vale, Jr., with a fell
swoop. What was to become of me ?
.Supposing there had been an accident
and Charlie knocked down and aw
fully mangled, or that he had just
vanished away, as one occasionally
bears of respectful men having done,
and never would appear again, or
be heard of at ail ; supposing 1 were
just to stand there waiting, the train
shrieking away in the distance, and
night coining on, and all these
strange men staring and whisper
ing? Pretty soon I should begin to
cry, for I " couldn't stand it much
longer; and here I began to feel for
my pocket-handkerchief, and that
reminded me of my pocket-book as
a slight resource. 1 dived to the
utmost comer of my pocket before
I remembered that I had confided
it to Charlie, with wifely duty, at the
very outset of our wedding tour.
- At this alarming discovery a cold
moisture broke out on my entire
frame, A night passed under the
lee of the depot, crouched among
my' little possessions, now loomed
before me unless I could deposit
the same possessions or pawn my
diamond ring and my gold bracelets
for a : night's lodging and a ticket
back to New York. I suppose tha
horror depicted on my countenance
was a sufficient challenge for inqui
ry. I don't know wh it an extreme
it must have reached, butsomebody
appeared to find it moving, fax a
benovolcnt voice presently saluted
my ears : .
. "Are you waiting for scmebody,
miss?"
I turned around with a gasp of
alarm, which subsided a little, how
ever, . when I met an elderly face,
spectacled, and benign in the ex
treme. , ;
"Excuse me, miss," said the old
gentleman, in a sympathizing tone,
"are you waiting for anyone ?"
ESTABLISHED, 1827.
PA., .WEDNESDAY,
"I I yes, sir I'm waiting for
" I came to a dead stop. For
Charlie, should I say? "My hus
band" was a step beyond utterance
just now. I only turned 6carlet,
choked, and twisted the handle of
ray bag in 6ilence.
"Is there anytiiing I can do for
you?"
I dont know where togor
1 burst out quite involuntarily.
"They told me to change cars, and I

what to do."
My new friend looked bewildered,
and caine a step nearer, as he inquir
ed, in a solemnly lowered voice:
"Are you alone?"
'No, ro," I said quickly under my
breath.
" Who is with you ?:' said het with
a kind of confidential compassion
that a little confused me. I did not
understand it.
"My a a gentleman," I falter
ed out "He went out to get me
something, and told me to sit still
and not move; and a man came and
made me change cars and I don't
know what cars we were to take
and and I I tlon't see him
anywhere."
Here I choked and fell to biting
my lips and winking my two eyes
hard, to wink the tears down.
"A gentleman!" repeated my
friend, suddenly. By this time two
more men had drawn near to listen.
"Your father?"
"No."
"Brother, then?" very niystcri
ousiy. "N-no."
I began to get very red and un
comfortable, and to wish that they
wouldn't stare so.
"Where arc you going, my dear?"
asked the first Samaritan, after, a
solemn pause.
"1 don t know," 1 answered faint
ly. "He didn't tell me; he. just
said, when he went to get mo some
lunch, that I wasn't to move if the
man said to change cars, for wc
were goins through -and I told the
man so, but he made me change."

I answered, very shortly.

the old gentleman, feelingly.
Jle had a compassionate wav of
looking at mc over h;s spectacles ;
and lib looked queerer still when I
answered faintly "He's got it and

Here I cast loose all ceremony,
and burst into tears.
"Oh, don't cry now," said the old
gentleman, soothingly. "Don't

"I don't know," I sobbed from be

then there were some antistrophies

me.

the landscape over Avitli one last

Charlie gray clothes, and straw

coming from the dim distance, with
a brown paper parcel under each
arm.
"There he is !'' I shrieked, drop
ping bag and parisol in my ecstacy,
and rushing down the platform with
extended arms. "There he is I Oh,

"Whare? which? where is'hc?"
cried a half a dozen men, quite ex
citedly. "Him in the straw hat, with the
bundles? Halloa, sir! Halloa!
Stop him !" and three small boys
and one man started in pursuit.
Poor Charlie! There he came,
hurrying along in our direction,
rather swiftly it is true, when my
four companions gave chase. And
just as they uplifted their voices,
and just as Charlies eyes, sweeping
the surrounding scene appeared to
light upon them just then did the
locomotive behind which we had
been sitting fifteen minutes before
and which had been backing and
snorting, and advancing and back

and a violent ringing of the bell
and to go puffing off on its way

ed him, rending the air with shouts
of "stop him!"
But Charlie couldn't keep tip

and shed all the hot buns from hisj

from his home at Glen wood, Susque

Will you allow me space in your
columns to correct a mishapprehen
sion, which I see by the newspaper
press of the State, is somewhat wide
ly extended. That is, that my with
drawal as a candidate for United
States Senator was influenced by the
expectation of being a candidate for
Governor two years hence. Under
no circumstances would I be a can
didate for Governor then or at any
other lime. At the conference
referred to with Mr. Oliver, Senator
Cameron and Col. Quay, to which I
was invited, a few hours before it
took place, nothing was then said.

promise of an v kind, was made by
either, except that if a candidate for

by agreement of both divisions of the
Republicans in the Legislature, that
in that case such division and the
individuals composing it, were to be
regarded and treated alike in all re
spects as members of the Republican
part)', l.ygones to be bygones.
Each of us, i e., Senator Cameron,
Col. Quay, Mr. Oliver and myself
were to use all our influence witlr
whoever should be elected to secure
from him such recognition and treat
ment of all who had participated in
tnc Senatorial conflict on cither
side.
This was the clearly expressed un
derstanding of us all before any ref
erence was made as to any probable
candidate that might be agreed on
by the respective divisions. It was
not understood that we were to set
tle on a candidate in case Mr. Oliver
and I both withdrew, but names
talked over were to be presented
merely as suggestions to the caucus
of each division fr their action and
if either did not like one of the
names presented they would agree
on some other.
My judgement had In en clear for
weeks that if Mr. Oliver should pro

the interest of harmony for the par

course for me but to do the same
thing and that was the expressed
opinion of a large number of my sin

Kilting Lemons.
A good deal has been said through
the papers about the healthfulncss
of lemons. The latest advice as to
how to use them so they will do the
most good runs as follows :
Most people know the benefit of
lemonade before breakfast, but few
know how it is more than doubled
by taking another at night, also.
The way to get the better of billious
systems without blue pills or quinine
is to take the juice ot one, two or
three lemons, as the appetite craves,
in as much ice water as makes it
pleasant to drink,without sugar, be
fore going to bed. In the morning
on rising, or at least half an hour be
fore breakfast, take the juice of one
lemon in a goblet of water. This
will clear the sj-stem of humors or
bile, with mild efficacy, without any
of the weakening effects of calomel
or congress water. People should
not iraitate the stomach by eating

A Lottery of Death.
A STORY OF MOSBYS COMMA.VD.
A writer in the Philadelphia Tunes,
relates the following story of the war
as told him by a soldier of Mosby's
command :
"On arriving at Rcctortown, Va.,
we found Colonel Mosby, with full
command drawn up in line, and he
himself in consultation with his prin
cipal officers. One of these finally
advanced towards the squad which
guarded the Union prisoners and
gave orders to draw them up in line.
The adjutant then rode forward and
read an order stating that seven of
our men having Lveen recently hung
by the enemy it was determined
that seven of the prisoners should
be hung in retaliation, and that lots
for the seven would immediately be
drawn. A scene ensued which will
be impressed upon my memory un
til the day of my death. A cry of
anguish and consternation arose
from among the unfortunate prison
ers. Some implored the guard to
intercede with Colonel Mosby and
have them excluded from the draw
ing, two of them declared that they
were merely suttlers and not fight
ing men, never having fired a shot at
a Southern soldier. Others said that
they had been drafted into the fed
cral army contrary to their wishes
and were friendly to the South. Oth
ers again expressed a willingness to
desert that army and join our stand
ard. V hue this tempestuous appca
tor me was going on among these
poor fellows, the main body of the
prisoners heard the awful sentence
with deep dejection but sullen reso
lution.
"In the course of twenty minutes,
two olhccrs approached, one of them
holding a hat, in which had been
placed a number of wads or balls of
paper, corresponding with the num
ber of prisoners. Seven of these
wads were marked. The drawing
then commenced, the officer with the
hat requiring the nght hand prison
ers to take out a ball, which when
drawn he handed to the other officer
in attendance, who on opening pro
nounced it to be either a blank or
otherwise. At first several blanks
were drawn, then came a marked
ball which was drawn by a cavalry
soiaicr ot musters command and
hailing from Michigan. This man
very coolly remarked that he was
prepared to die for his country.
!mx men have now been drawn.
cried the officer with the hat : 'one
more must come.'
"The next and last victim was i
drummer boy, who. upon being in
formed of his fate, uttered the most
piercing cries, and, throwing him
self upon the ground, exciaimed
that he was only a drummer-boy
with neither father nor mother, and
begged to bo spared, bo greatly was
the pity of the officers excited that
they immediately applied to CoL
Mosby to spare this boy. He very
promptly replied that he did not
now there was a boy among the
prisoners, and ordered that he should
be removed and the drawing taken
over again.
"This was done, and on tho sec
ond drawing my friend, a lieuten
ant, drew a marked balL I was
shocked by this and he was greatly
distressed," but exhibited a coura
geous resignation to his fate. Calling
to him a soldier of his company,
who had also been taken prisoner.
ie requested him to take to his wife
an empty pocket book and pencil
case, saying that these were the only
souvenirs he had left when con
demned to execution, and that his
ast thoughts were with his wife and
mother.
I was deeply affected at his fate
iind desired to assist him if possible.
Whispering to him, I asked him if
he was a freemason, to which he re
plied in the affirmative. Immedi
ately after this the guard was order
ed to march off with the seven men
who had been condemned. We pro
ceeded with them (I being one of
the guard) only a few hundred
yards, when we were ordered to
halt and await further orders, and
in a few moments a freshly mounted
squad of fifteen men, commanded bv
a lieutenant and equipped for a raid,
approached us with orders from
Colonel Mosby that we should be
relieved from care of the prisoners.
Among the number ot this relief
was an intimate friend of mine, to
nhom I related the circumstances
in connection with the lieutenant
and also informed him that he was
a freemason. Being anxious to learn
their destination, 1 questioned him
about the recent order and he in
formed me that they had been com
manded to take the prisoners across
the mountains and as near to Sheri
dan's headquarters as possible and
there hang them. He promised me
that he would do all that he could
(consistent with duty) in behalf of
the condemned officer. They then
proceeded on their way, and several
days elapsed before 1 heard any
thing of their movements. On meet
ing with my friend he gave me the
following particulars :
"They reached Paris on the same
night after leaving and were there
met by Captain Mountjoy, who was
returning from the valley with a
batch of prisoners. Being a friend of
Mountjoy 8 he took the first oppor
tunity of informing him of the situ
ation of the lieutenant and abo in
formed him that he was a freemason
and requested that he would save
him. Coon hearing this Mountjoy
requested an interview with the of
ficer, and immediately afterward he
erossed the street to where he kept
his own prisoners and returned with
two of them. These he presented to
the officer in charge as two f Cus
ter's men, whom he wished to sub
stitute . for the lieutenant After
some hesitation, and with the con
dition that Mountjoy should assume
all the responsibility, the exchange
was made. The officer, after return
ing earnest thanks for his life, was
hastily transferred to another batch,
of prisoners under the care of ser
geant, who was told to make all pos
sible haste to Gordonsville, and es
pecially to get out of 'Mosby's Do
minions' before the break of day.
The others met their fate.

Iiife In Wall Rtrrct.
standing on the part of the public as
to Wall street, says a well-known
broker. The street is not a royal
road to sudden wealth. Everybody
cannot come down here without pre
vious experience, deposit ten per
cent margin in a broker's office, buy
one hundred or one thousand e hares
at random and reap a sudden fort
une. That's the idea most people
have of Wall street You may ac
cept it as a sound general rule that
persons who know nothing of Wall
street had better not try to learn
anything. But, if circumstances
put you in a position to devote your
time to acquiring aknowledgeof the
ins and outs of Wall street, that's
another thing. I have seen boys
spend a few years in a broker's of
fice, at a small salary, accumulate a
few hundred dollars, make friends
and branch out for themselves, cith
er as dealers in privileges or as spec
ulators. These young men. without
an exception to my knowledge, have
been successful. Some of them have
become members of the board, and
are in receipt of large incomes. Two
of them that I have watched have
attained the highest standing in the
Eriyilege business, one being proba
ly the best buyer and the other the
best seller of privileges in the street.
Besides members of the board and
big operators, who can bull or bear
the market untd they are satisfied,
there are two other classes of opera
tors who average snug incomes year
in and year out They are the mon
eyed men, who can buy stock out
right if they see that the market is
panicky, lock it up in their com
partments in the Safe Deposit Com
pany, and go to London or Paris for
a holiday, remaining until the mar
ket has boomed up again ; and the
cautious, small operators, who nev
er handle more than five hundred
shares at a time, need at least twenty-five
per cent margin up, and op
erate only upon the evident drift of
the market waiting quietly for fa
vorable opportunities, and living
well within their means in the mean
time.
"The moneved speculator, with'
cool, clear head, and plenty of expe
rience, has the best time of all. He
can get out of the street whenever it
U too hot for him, and enjoy him
self. Why, I have in my mind just
now a friend belongtng to this fort
unate class. He, is a Fi neii trentle

swallowed upbelit'ttitfarette, and
shrugging his shoulders, said :
'Ma foi, this is no place for mc. I
shall go to Paris and amuse myst 1 f
for some months.
"He went out, and returned in a
moment with Government bonds
representing $100,fXX). Handing the !
bonds to the cashier, he said : I
Have the goodness to give mc my
stock and the premium on mv
bonds.
He received a check, and with a
parting handshake all around was
ff. Earlv last September he re-en
tered the office, fat, rosy, and jolly,
and bought a thousand shares of
Central. In his absence the market
had taken the up grade, and while
he was enjoying himself in Pans his
stocks in the safe deposit vault rose
in value until, when they were sold,
they netted him $20O,0U).
"The shoals of greenhorns who
pour in incessantly with thei.' cash,
and their ambition to become great
operators in a month or two, arc
well, that's the reason why there is
so much money floating about the
street for smart men to pick up."
Women in the Treasury.
The first female clerks in the
tional treasury were appointed in
1SC8 by Secretary Chase, who placed
them in the office of the comptroller
of the currency at six hundred dol
lars a year. They cut and trimmed
the United States notes issued ii,
sheets, and did their work well. As j
soon as they had been appointed I
there were many other applicants,
and their number steadily increased, ;
many of them securing places thro' j
the peculiar energy and persever-
ance which will refuse to take no for j
an answer, lhere are now more
than 1,300 women in the depart
ments at Washington, the majority
employed in the bureau of engrav
ing and printing and in the govern
ment printing office. They excel as
counters, their slender, sensitive fin
gers turning notes with great rapid
ity and exactness. Thev detect
counterfeits, it is said, quicker than
men, though they do not succeed so
well with account", as the average
feminine mind has little natural
love for figures.
Counters and copyists receive nine
hundred dollars a year, other women,
twelve to fourteen hundred dollars,
several of them sixteen hundred dol
lars and one in the internal rev
enue eighteen hundred dollars. Most
of the clerks are well educated and
refined and many of them have
seen more prosperous days.

A Street Horror in IarU.
' All Paris says a correspondent,
j has been deeply stirrcl by the shock
i ing fate of a little girl of nine, Gcor
! gette Rabin, the only child of a
j prosperous grotn grocer of Rue Btl
jzunco. S ho attended a day school,
to which her father every morning
j took her and fetched her back at
' noon. A few daj3 ago they were
walking home, hand in hand, rejoic
; ing in the bright sunshine that had
: come out after the snowfall. The
1 streets they passed were busy with
traluc and .squadrons ot sweepers
who were pushing hcapd of snow
towards sewer traps purposely open
ed to receive them. At the corner
of the Ruo IIa''.'.i!ce the child let
go her father's hand to tighten her
muffler. J ust then a wagon drawn
by a restive horee rumbled by. Ra
bin instinctively moved backwards,
thinking his daughter wa3 by hi.s
side, but when he turned round to
look for her she had disappeared.
It was evident that in backing out
of the horse's way she had fallen
into a yawning sewer which was of
great depth.
Cries lor help were heard for a
moment and then ceased. The
child had clung doubtlesH t the
edge of the subterranean p'.uliu.-.j
and had lieen sw. , t away by the
force of the current, which was
swift and swollen. The sweepers
who flocked around could scarcely
restrain Rabin from jumping in af
ter his child, who must have been
instantly drowned. Tho district
fire brigade was summoned and
came immediately, bnt too late, and
the police commissary of the quar
ter telegraphed to the overseers of
sewers to watch all the grating3 be
tween the Rue Hautville and A3
nieres. A fireman was lowered
with ropes into the sewer and re
mained immersed for twenty min
utes. Others ran along the platform
to explore, but unavailingly. The
poor child's body had not been
caught by anv of the grating3 and
has probably been devoured bv the
rats.
Cherry Tree.
A few words of advice in planting
out and protecting cherry trees may
not be out of place at thi3 time,
when people are making up their
lists of fruit trees, for transplanting
the approaching spring. There is
no tree that requires more careful
handling and setting and attention
than the cherry. Frequently those
being transported from a long dis
tance suffer sufficient injury to ren
der them unfit for planting. In our
own experience we have rnct with
repeated Ios3 in this way. The worst
of the disappointment is, that after
being set out the tree will give just
enough signs of growing to induce
one to let it stand until the whole
summer and fall are past, thus de
priving us of two opportunities
throw it out and plant another
its place. In all such cases

would advise in the first
place
cutting off of nearly the whole
the top, and then if it doe3 not in
the course of a few weeks give de
cided evidence of a fresh growth, to
remove it entirely. We have saved
several by this sharp pruning, which
are now tine, healthy trees.
But, in the first place, set out no
cherry tree that has not a full sup
ply of roots, especially of small ones,
and the stem of which is not free
from bruises, from which they will
not recover. t with the most care,
spreading out the roots their full
length, and stake them firmly but
so that they will not rub by the ac
tion of the wind. Then cut awav
all superfluous top branches of
which each one must judge for him
self and be careful that in digging
and grubbing about the trees no in
jury is done to the roots or bark.
Salt For the Throat.
In these days when diseases of the
throat are so universally prevalent,
and in so many cases fatal, we feel
it our duty to say a word in behalf
of a most effectual, if not positive
cure ot sore throat
For many years past, indeed wc
may say during the whole life of
more than forty years, we have been
subjected to sore throat, and more
particularly to a dry, hacking cough
which is not only distressing to our
selves, but to our friends and those
with whom wo are brought into
business contxet.
Last fall wc were induced to try
what virtue there was in common
salt We commenced by using it
three time3 a day, morning, noon
and night We dissolved a large
tablespoonful of pure table salt in
about half a tumbler of water. With
this we canrle the throat most thor-
na-!0ughlyjust before meal time.
1 he result has been that during
the entire winter we were not only
free from coughs and colds, but the
dry, hacking cough has entirely dis
appeared. Wc attribute these satisfactory re
sults solely to the use of the salt
gargle, ami most cordially recom-
mend a trial of it to those who are
subiect to diseases of the throat and
chest.
Many persons who have never
tried the salt gargle have the imprrs-
sion that it is unpleasant ;-uch is
not the case. On the contrary, it is
pleasant, and after a few days use,
no person who loves a nice clean
mouth and a first rate sharpener of
the appetite will abandon it

Henry the VIII., whoso matri

varied, did not enjoy single life.
When Jane Seymour died upon the
birth of her first child, a few months
after her marriage, says a writer in
the International Uniev, it would
seem natural that a husband of any
affection and sensibility would have
been too much saddened by the
circumstances of her death to "enter
tain the thought of another marriage
at least for soms months ; but nego

Jane's successor. Henry proposed
