Jennie was watching the cows come home Down by the meadow bars alone And her eyes were as blue as her bonnet ; Jenny was only a farmer's lass And she let d wn the bars for the cows to pass Out of the waving, blue eyed grass. With the buttercups sprinkled upon it. Jennie was watching young fanner l'ayno Picking a butter cup out of the lane, Stephen was strong and merry. ' Jennie !' she heard her mother call, But there at ber side stood the farmer tall, And ber cheeks grew red as a cherry. ' I'm coming, mother !' she turned to ico, But Stephen stood in the path below. And there went Daisy, and Beasand Flo, Over into the clover. His arms were strong as her waist was slim 4 I'll keep you till every cow gets in, Or toll me the name of your lover.' 'Jennie! Jennie! 'tis getting late,' Came mother's voice from the farm house fiate, But Jennie was slender and could not mate With the tender strength of a lover, And who could do a single thing With a yellow buttercup nnder their chin, But nestle the great strong arms within And grow as red as the clover. 'Maybe 'tis Ben.' then she blushed attain, 'And maybe 'tis only Stephen l'ayne ' Then the dark crept over the meadow lane, And buttercups a sprinkle Xot a single sound in the dusky dell Save the tinkle of Daisy's silver bell 'Tink-a-ink-a-tinkle !' For mother's voice and bars forgot. The cows are into the meadow lot Knee-deep in the dewy clover. Jennie and Steve come slowly up Her soft chin yellow with butter cup, nis handsome face tlusbed.over. 'Where are you, Jennie? 'tis late and cold.' 'We're coming, mother,' said Stephen bold The cows got into the meadow, We stopped to drive them slowly up.' Then he slyly hid the buttercup. And kised her again in the altadow. MjJrrn Anjj. THK KIVAL. DOCTOIIS. 'What was the mot interesting ease in your ions experience. Doc tor ?' It was at a little entertainment given in honor of Dr. Tourniquet's retirement from practice an event we youngrr aspirants felt inclined to celebrate with no small satisfaction that the foregoing question was put to the guest of the evening. 'I think,' said the old gentleman. 'aloutthe most interesting case I ever had was the first.' 'Would vou mind relating it?' 'Not at alL Whatever secret there once was about it, all reason for keeping it has long Bince passed.' 'It is now nearly fifty years,' he continued, 'since I presumed to set tle here, and enter into competition with old Carver, whose dazzling gilt 6ign, emblazoned with his name and professional designation of 'Physi cian and Chirurgeon' Curmudgeon would have hit the mark more clear ly had hitherto enjoyed a monop oly of lighting fools to dusky death. He never passed me without a scowl, ai)d never spoke of me but with con tempt. His evident purpose was to nip my pretensions in the bud. 1 should never have a case if he could help it. I began to lose heart at last, and was seriously considering the advisability of giving up the struggle and leaving the headstrong population to old Carver and their fate when one night I received a hurried call to attend a gentleman who had just had bis leg broken. 'Mr. Iwmmi Furneval, the indi vidual referred to, was a respectable middle aged bachelor, for some time thought tobe particularly attentive to Miss Berencla Potte, a maiden lady of fortune, and nearly his own age. In attempting to board a moving railroad train, he had missed his footing and fallen so that one of his legs was run over and completely crushed almost to the knee. 'TheT carried him home on a stretcher, and, as usual in such cases, messengers ran for all the doctors in the place that is to say, in the pres ent instance, for old Carver and my self. 'We arrived simultaneously. 'It is a compound comminuted fracture of the tibia and thetibula!' said old Carver, pushing forth to j take possession by first getting hisjppeked throueh the fan and could ugly paw on the injured limb, which ) Pf.e all thay said, while I pretended he fumbled roughly thwugthe cloth- j to read a novel.

'Your blood be on your own head !' he croaked ominously, and bundling up his instruments he banged the door behind him. 'I wish to be left alone with the Doctor,' said Mr. Furneval, when old Carver had gone; 'if assistance is needed it cah be called.' 'Everybody withdrew but the pa tient and myself, and there, alone and single handed. I did everything the case rtquired.' 'You don't mean to say you am putated the limb without assistance?' said a fideety little M. D., across the Uble. 'No; you see Mr. F., as I have said, was keeping company with Miss Potts, and thinking be might be better able to walk than to hob ble into her affections, we decided against amputation, and proceeded accordingly. 'Next morning I met old Carver on the street. He was in the habit of passing me with a frown without speaking, but this time he stopped. 'How's your patient ?' he inquir ed, with a sneer. 'Doing finely,' I replied. 'Your first amputation, I sup pose V 'Neither first nor last,' I said ; I didn't amputate at all.' 'I suppos vou know the leg's smashed to splinters?' I do.' 'And vou haven't amputated ?' No.' " And don't intend to?' No.' 'Better go to the undertakers and order a coffin, then.' ESTABLISHED, 1827. SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 7, IS83. 'He's busy on one (of your last victims, I believe,' said I, hurrying along. 'For aearly a week my patient saw no one but myself and the servant whs C3 rried up his meals. 'The o a few friends were admitted to chejr his confinement, which he bore Avitli admirable patience. In six we t-ks I removed the splints, and the next day Mr. Furneval was walk ing out as well as ever, ily fame was in everybody's mouth. Even old Cr.rv er could find nothing to carp at, for be had everywhere circulated the terrib le nature of the injury, and predicted the patient's speedy death. My practi3e toon exceeded my most sanguine hopes, and old Carver's whilom patrons flocked to me in such numb ers that he shut up shop and retired in disgust.' 'Was the limb really as bad fract ured as at fi rst supposed ?' inquired the fidgety li ttle doctor opposite. 'Quite gn und almost to powder, you might sa y.' 'And gave no signs of lameness afterward?! 'No more th an before there had previously b m a slight hitch in that leg, tut I think there was less afterwards.' "Wonderful V exclaimed the little doctor. 'Not at alL Y ou see, and there lay the secret, t'ae injured leg was of wood, and we replaced it with a bet er one.' THE BMI BOY. "Say you think of about every thing mean there is going, don't you,1' said the groct ry man to the bad boy, as he came in to show that his black eye.had been cured. "The minister explained to me yesterday how you caused him and your father to lay and 6oak in tiie water for about three hours, one hot day last summer, in the lake, and they both bitiered their backs. The minister says the skin had not stopped peel intr off his shoulde-s vet. What caused yuu to play such a mean trick ou them ?'' "0, it was their own fault," said the boy as he looked with disdain on a watermelon that was out of season, and had no charms in Octcber. ''You see, tlie night the .lociable was at our house, the minister and some of the deacons were up in my room which they used that n:ght lor a smoking room, and while they were smoking they were telling stones about what fun thej had when they were boys, and I rembember one story the minister .told about find ing some girls in swimming once, and stealing tlr.r clothes, snd .mak ing iLem wait till night and then a girl had to fix herself up with news papers and go home and send a wagon after the rest of the girls. The minister thought it was awful cunnir.g, so when the church, had the picnic last summer on the bank of the lake, 1 remembered abaut ii. I5eats all, don't it how a boy will re member anything like that? Well, after dinner I saw a whisper to the minister, and they took a couple of towels and a piece of soap, and started off up the lake about bsdf a mile, and I knew they were going in swiir ming. Well, it don't take me very lone to catch on. I yot an overdress tin it one of the girls had been wearing to wash dishes, and a shawl, and stole? a hat belonging to the soprano of the choir, and a red par:sol that a irirl left under a tree, went down in the woods and dut on the clothes, over my pants and thiiigs, and when pa and the minis ter bad got in the water and were swimming around, I put up the parasol and tripped along the shore like a girl picking flowers and when I came to. the stump where they put their clothes I didn't look toward the water, but acted tired, and eat down on the stump- and began to fan myself. You'd a. dide to see pa look. He crawled upon the beach, in the shf.llow water and said, "Elder, do vou see that?" Th Elder looked'with himself all under. water except hi? head, and said "Merciful uoodness, squire, we are m for it. That interestine iemale is I p-oiri": to sit there and read a novel through U -fore she sroes away." I J somethin-,'. so the minister broke off a pkc. of a tree and dressed himself iu it, and came up towards me, arid Raid, "Madame excuse me for troubling you. but if you will go away while I get my clothes, I will take it as a favor." I pretended "to be insulted, and got up and walked off very indignant, and went back to the picnic and returned the clothes, and pretty soon they came up, look ing as red as if they had been drink ing and the picnic was ready to go home. Somebody told pa it whb me, bnt I don't know who it was that give it away. Anyway he chased me clear out of the woods with a piece of sapling. That was the time I told you I was too tired to ride, and walked- home from tbe picnic Pa has forgiven me, but I don't believe the minister ever wilL Don't you think some of these pious folks are awful unfoigiven ?" "O, people are not all aa good as you and 1 are," said the grocery man, as he watched the boy making a SDeak on a bunch of Grapee. Pda Sun, biarti a to Bam to tbe Fire. It was in Lowell, Mass. An alarm of fire was sounded, and the engine was rapidly driven out of the engine house. One of the horse took fright pranced wildly about, and ran the engine against the brick door frame. Chief Engineer Hosmer was severe ly bruised and two of his nbs orox en. For three weeks the physicians doctored him. Then a friend brought him some Pt rrv Davis's Pain Killer. jOn being rubbed with this, he was soon well. Beet liniment in the world. To Look Upon, antl to Become. Any one who gazes intently and appreciatively upon some beautiful landscape, or some rare work of art, gradually comes to partake of some of its characteristics, and to absorb something of its nature. There is a spirit within him that responds to the beauty, or sublimity, or delicacy upon which he looks that claims kinship with them, and that is awakened and developed by his continued and earnest gaze. If this is true, concerning what appeals to us through the eye of the body, it is even more true in what we view with the eye of the mind. Whatever we give our attention to constantly and thoughtfully, that we shall gradually come to resemble. Perhaps there are, in our complex natures, many undeveloped gerais, which are only brought into living existence by contact with special external influ ences which coincide with them ; at any rate, it is certain that we soon grow into close affinity with what ever we pre eminently think upon. Take the younir child in his mother's arms, for example ; as he gazes upon her face he drinks in its expression, all unconsciously, into his very soul. The loving smile, or the angry frown, the bright and cheery look of hope, or the fretful or sullen aspect which he beholds are gradually imprinting themselves upon his features; and the disposi tions which give birth to these out ward tokens are as surely taking root in his character. Soon he conies under other influences and gains other impressions. Not only home with its powerful cord is drawing him into likeness with himself, but outside forces are now at work. Teachers and playmates, studft s and amusements, are moulding him hour by hour, or rather they are awaken ing within him the corresjionuing parts of his nature, antl fostering them into growth and development. Presently he launches lorth into the world, full, perhaps, of enthusiasm as to something lie is to accomplish or gain ; full of hopes and phn as to how he will exert the power which he feels within him. Still, however, though he imagines it not, he 'a acted upon even more forcibly than he can possibly act upon oth ers; for he is but a single factor, while a thousand are ever pressing upon him r.h resistless energy, and making him what he is. Although it is a serious question with every one what he will do, it is even a more weighty and important one what he will be. . What a man is underlies and determines all that he doe, and more than this, it de cides upon the character of that large and widespread influence which continually emanates from his very presence. And what he u creatlv depends upon what he loch at. No one is able wholly to control the in fluences that shape him; many of them are beyond his reach to with stand, but every on may choose which of them he will encouratre, which he will cling to, upon which he will lay the emphasis of his life, upon which he will allow his thoughts todwell. The influence of companionship, for instance, is a most potent one. We can never es cape it But we can select for our more intimate friends those who command our respect and are wor thy of our confidence. There are some persons to whom we instinct ively look up, and others upon whom we as naturally look down. Whichever we place within our con stant view, we grow to resemble, and so it comes to pass that a man is known by the company he keeps." The press is a powerful forming influence, which presses on ns from every side. We can no more shut ourselves faom it than from the at mosphere, yet here also we can se lect our intimates. We can decide whether the papers, periodicals and volumes that enter our homes and engage our attention are such as beckon us upward to heights of in telligence, purity and wisdom, or such as draw us down to the frivo lous, the lax or the corrupt. Thmght is a constant, though silent agent in making us what we are. It is with us in every waking hour. Yet we have the power to cherish one class of thoughts and to dismiss another, to encourage those that lift us up and restrain those that drag us down. We can never stop thinking any more than we can stop breath ing but as we can, in a measure, control the quality of air which we breathe, so to a great extent we can determine what we will think about. It is quite as needful to turn away from evil or unworthy or puerile thought as from books or compan ions of the same port, and itis possi ble to occupy the mind so fully with what is good, noble and up lifting, that there shall be no room nor desire to harbor what is false, low or injurious. We all look earnestly toward the jutwre, and here also we grow into unison with what we loox upon. Whatever we picture to ourselves as our dearest aim, and dwell upon with hope and anticipation, we gen erally secure, and in the process we become attuned to it Whether it be wealth, or fame, or the good opin ion of a party, or the attainment of ome special excellence, or the pro motion ot a reform, or the establish ment ef an enterprise, we shall par take of its character. The difference between men. is largely determined by the difference between.their ideas. One looks upward and he grows; another downward and he withers. One fixes bis gaze upon knowledge, chooses intelligent society, good reading and rational thoughts, and he becomes more and more enlight ened and clear sighted ; another de sires ease and indulgence, prefers in ferior company, trashy books and shallow thoughts, and he sinks into ignorance and mental vacancy. One cherishes visions of goodness, looks op with reverence to the truth, ad mires generosity, nobleness and righteousness, and keeps them evr in sight he becomes more and more allied to them and grows in virtue: another looks with satisfac tion upon wickedness, error, mean- Bess and wrong, and by long famil - iarity he becomes accustomed to them and shares in their nature. erald It "Vice is a monster of such frightful mien, That tobe hated, needs but to be seen ; But seen too oft, familiar with her face, Wc first endure, then pity, then embrace." It us then remember that we are building up our characters and our lives, not only by our actions, but by the directions in which we are look ing, by the models we set before us bv the ideals we cherish, by the company we keep, by the books we read, by all the conditions in which wa voluntarily put ourselves. Uy continually looking up to what is higher and better, we shall rise to higher and better states of being, and our characters and conduct will alwavs bear an intimate relation to those things upon which our mental vision dwells with pleasure and sat isfaction. Item brand t and Ilia Work. The execution of the pictures of Rem brandt is marvelous. He paint ed some very ugly, and even vulgar, pictures ; he disregarded all rules of costume and of. the fitness of things in many ways ; he parodied many ideal subjects, and he painted scenes from Scripture history in which he put the exact portraits of the coarse and common people about him. But, in spite of all these faults, his simplicity, truthfulness and ear nestness make his pictures master prices, and we cannot turn away from them carelessly ; they attract and hold us. Rembrandt's style was not always the same. Before 1033 he preferred the open davlight, in which every thing was distinctly seen, and his flesh tones were warm and clear: after that time he preferred the light which breaks oyer certain objects and leaves the rest in shade, while hia touch became very spirit ed, and his flesh tones were so gold en that they were less natural than before. The works of Rembrandt are so numerous and so important that one cannot speak justly of them in our present space. His pictures number about 5(H), and his engravings about and these embrace not only many subjects, but many variations j of these subjects. The chief picture of his earliest manner is the "Anato mical Lecture,' now in the gallery of the Hague. Rembrandt painted but few pict ures from profane history, and his landscapes are rare, but the few that exist are worthy of so great a master, and one who has loved everything that God has spread out before us in nature. Hisscenes from common life are beyond criticism, but some times his picturing of repulsive things makes us turn away, though we must admire the power with which they are painted. His por traits were of the highest order and very numerous ; no other artist ever made so many portraits of himself, and in them he is seen from the days of youthful hope to ripened age. St. Xich'Aa. The Man Who Tried to Imitate the AVestern Style. 'Look here !' roared a tall chap, attired in a broad brimmed hat and an insolent air, as be approached a railroad ticket window. 'Look here, you, I want a first class ticket on tbe top shelf car to the other end of thi9 line, and don't you forget it! See this !' and he developed a horse pis tol and stuck the muzzle through the window. I see it,' replied the agent, calmly. 'I'm looking right at it. Now what can I do for you ?' 'Didn't you hear me bark a few minutes ago?' demanded the tall man. 'Didn't you hear me compli ment you with an order for the best youv'e got in your workshop there? Have I got to put a bullet in there to make you comprehend that I'm waiting here for the upper row of preserves ? Must I take the blood of another station agent on my hands before I manage to get what I want ? Throw me out the most embroidered ticket there is on the line of this road, or I'll commence to make va cancies.' The agent carefully closed the window, stepped out the side door, picked up the tall man, set him down again on his head, whirled him around three or four times and then kicked him under the gate and out into the middle of the street, where a policeman gobbled him and hustled him off. 'Am I awake?' asked the tramp, rubbing the dust of the conflict out of his eye9. 'Never mind about that, am I alive?' 'What did you want to bother the man for?' demanded the policeman, hauling him around by the collar. 'I didn't want to bother him, I only meant to scare him. I hadn't any money to go to the island : so I played the western man on him, just as I have seen it written up in the funny papers. I say, either those papers are the darndest liars on the continent or I missed the combination on the gag !' And they locked him up to think over which might be the case. Kissing goes by favor, and is very often quite costly in the long run. The value of a kiss has more than once been made the subject of judi cial deliberation. A St Louis kiss is not worth much, but Chicago kiss es are very often held at exaggerated figures. The time has come, how ever, for the exercise of reason in this as in all other matters. No young woman can get a corner on the market there is too much com petition. A jury in Northampton county, Pa., has just broken the ice in this business, and decreed that kisses are worth a cent apiece. A young lady who testified in a breach of promise suit that she had been kissed by her recent lover lOO.OUO times, was promptly awarded $1,000. It must be remembered, however, that a cent apiece is the wholesale price. At retail kisses should come much higher. A scientific journal explains "why a man can't fly." In a great many cases it is because he is grabbed by the minions of the law before he can ; escape with the funds of the bank, But there are times, however, when i he succeeds in flying. WHOLE NO. 16S15. "Vnmen in Journalism. The nature of the work to be done is not changed by the fact that it is a woman who undertekes it. It may be done better, more delicately, more shrewdly, more honestly, but it is the same work and requires the same qualities, whether the worker be a man or a woman. There are, indeed, some special branches of labor upon a newspaper, such as that which relates to the dress of women, to needle and other work of the kind, with which women are natur ally more familiar than men, and women will therefore treat them more satisfactorily and intelligently. But "a woman's duty upon a news paper" is substantially the same with that of a man. Perhaps the most conspicious and noted of women who have been em ployed in journalism was Harriet Martineau. For some years she wrote editorially for a London pa per. Her articles were upon the current questions of the hour the 'and be weighted down by a clean policy of the government at home i stone. If these precautions areem and abroad, the characters of emi-1 ployed the liability of spoiling will nent public men, and the various problems of political economy. There was no editorial contemporary of Miss Martineau's who was more fully equipped for the office of public censor, and the volume of obituare biographies which was collected from her contributions to the paper are as admirable and vivid as anv which appeared in any journal of the time. There was, however, nothing which Miss Martineau selected to do, or which was suggested to her to write, which could lie defined distinctively as a woman's work on a paper. She wrote articles not as a woman, but as an editor, as Mrs. Somerville studied astronomy not as woman, but as a pchoar. If the Easy Chair may take an illustration close at hand, it would say that any woman who is anxious to know what is a woman's work upon a paper or in journalsism has mlv to turn to the Critic, a. weekly liter irv journal in New York. Th? Critic is edited by a woman, but it depends for the just and we hopeassured sue - cess which it has acheived upon the ability with which it is edited, upon the tact with which public senti ment and interest are perceived, 3iid upon me skiu wun w.iicntne o-xks for review and the writers of the re- view are selected. . il 'a.t .t il 1 I Bone Manure for Manure. An English paper in commenting upon the subject, remarks that the Cheshire farmer, by the free use of bone manure laid on the grass lands, makes his farm, which at one time, before the application of bone manure, fed only twenty head of cqws. now ted tftrty. in Cheshire two thirds, or more generally three fourths, of a dairy farm are kept in perfect pasture, the remainder in tillage. Its dairy farmers are com monly bound to lay the whole of their manure not on the arable, but on the grass land, purchasing what may be necessary for the arable. The chief improvement besides drainage consists in the application of bone manure. In the milk of each cow, in its urine, in its manure, in the bones of each calf reared and sold off. a farm parts with as much earthy phosphates of lime as if con tained in half a hundred weight of bone dust. Hence the advantage of returning this mineral manure bv boning crass lands. The quantity : of bones now commonly given m Cheshire to an imperial acre of grass land is 1.200 to 1.500 weight. This dressing on pasture land will last seven or eight years, and on mowed land about half that period. How a Butterfly Came. lutein teptemrer a laay saw a j worm upon a willow leaf.

Much of the corned beef and salt pork put up by farmers becomes tainted or completely spoiled during the summer and fall. The injury is not caused by using too small an amount of salt As a rule much more salt is employed than is neces sary to preserve the meat Some times it contains impurities that causes the meat to contract a bad flavor. Pure salt should be employ ed for preserving . meat and dairy products. It costs but little more than that which is impure, and it is more satisfactory ia all respects. Meat packed in a barrel and covered with brine becomes tainted or spoil ed in consequence of small portions of it or some of the fat or blood it contains coming to the top of the brine. The air comes in contact with it there and decomposition takes place. The products of the de composition of animal substances always have an unpleasant taste and smell, and these in the case of meat in a barrel are communicated to the brine and from thence to the meat Meat packed in brine should be cut in pieces with a very sharp knife. This will leave the edges smooth. After it has been for few days in the brine the latter should be pour ed off and boiled. The boiling will cause all the impurities to rise to the surface while the blood will be co agulated. These substances should then be skimmed off, and when the brine ia cold it can be returned to the barrel. If the brine does not continue pure, the operation of boil ing should be repeated. Special pains should be taken to keep the meat under the brine at all times. A perforated top or false cover, or a frame work, should rest on tbe meat be very slight The Moaqnito At Close Quarter.

Did she think it a wife's duty to mnke home happy ;he said before she answered his questions she would assure him of some negative virtues she possessed.
