Jn 1 WSl T10NESTA, PA., ROBERFSADVICE. A 8TORY FOR BOYS AND QUUJf. One sunny Saturday morning, not long ago, Robert 8 sat on the bench in his tool-house busily nt work. Presently his little sister Bessie caruo in. "I've done seructliing dread ful ; though it wasn't my fault either. You won't tell will you?" she asked looking up doubtfully. "No, I won't," he Replied promt'.y, interested at the prospect of sharing a sue ret. "Well" and here Bessie drew a long -breath "I went to get a dsiuk of water, and there was one of those thin fancy turablets, you know, on the table. I wanted much to drink out of it, because mother's so afraid a boot them that she never lets me. I 'was as careful as I could be ; buf when I was just going to put it back on the table, aoinabody opened" ,he door. I thought wag mother, and I was bo frightened - roD on the floor. 1 ie the tumuit. -.i, ftnc BessiO then stopped to back a rising sob. .? sjf. ft . "Went all so smasti. fuu it f in quired Rob, sympathetically, Bessie nodded rueimiy. "Whew!" whialleU iiou. "What did mother Bay T" "V l it wasn t mother at all. it was only Bridget. O, Iiob! do you think I shall have to tell mother? I would only make her fuel vexed if she knew one of them was brokeu; if It don't tell her, perhaps she won't miss it, and won't Icel grieved about it. I'm sure I don't want to vex her." This was quite a plausible view of the matter, and Bossie longed to hear Robert approve of it. At last he said, "Do you really want my advice, Bess?, "lrcs, what would you do?" ''Well, if I were in you place, Bess, I'd tell her. You know that's the on ly holiest thing to do, really. There are several resons why it is better to be honest about anything of that kind. One is, perlwps the' 11 forgive you." And so Robert took up his boat again, feel-' nig that the minister lumselt cotudu t have given better advice in the case. As fur poor Bessie, she rather resented Robert's tone of superiority, and said quickly, "I don't much believe you would tell her, after all, Rob. It isn't half as easy as you think," "Perhaps it isn't easy. Who said it wr.s? But I hope I should be honest enough for that. And self-righteous Bob brought down the lmtnmor with all his might on the knife with which he was splitting a piece of wood, Alas for him! It struck on an unseen nail, which snapped off the slender point in a trice. hen he drew out the point less, blunted blade, he grazed at it in dismay; whilo Bessie, in spite of her trouble, couldn t help laughing a little at the suddeu changes in his face. This was anything but soothing to Robert's feelings, and he muttered that he ''didn't see what business that old nail had there," and other not very amiable remarks to the sanio effect. "Why, Rob!" exclaimed Bessie, suddenly, "isn't that father's new knife-lhe one he toldusuot to touch?" "He meant you I" replied Robert, "but I know how to use a knife. I never hurt a knifo before in my life, and this wasn't my fault. It was all on account of that nail; and I don't know who put that there. ' I didn't." Robert was about as unreasonable as unfortunate people are apt to be. "Well, Rob," said Bessio, at length, "we've both done something now. Let's go and confess together." "Confess!" rejoined Robert, slowly ; "why, I I don t believe that is" and without finishing the sentence he carefully shut the" kuife, and "eing to his lathers tool-chest, put it exactly where he had fos&u it. Bessie's blue e.Vcs opened very wide at this proceed ing, and Konert could not meet their look as he explained, "You see, Bess, Johu's going to leave next week, and if father doesn t find it out betore then, why, he'll think John did it; and, you see, it won t hurt John, because he wou t be here. As soon as Bessie could say any. thing for her amazement at this speech, she began, "But, Rob, I thought you said it you were in my place but Robert rushed oft' to the garden, not carihtr to bear his own words repeated just then. . Bessie stood still on the barn-noor, looking thoughtfully towards the door whero Robert disappeared. A sii.gle streak of sunlight edged its way through a crack, making a perfect glory of her wavy, flaxen hair, so that she formed quite a pretty little picture, as she stood in deep thought for full ten minutes. At last a light flashed into her eyes, and she ran out to fiud Robert, She came upou him, gloomi ly pulling up weeds in his garden. "Rob," she said, "I've jubt this mo ment thought of that verse I learned this morning, and I'm going to do it." "What was it?" asked Robert, with out looking up. M OCTOBER 14, 1874. "I don't remember exactly, but it's something about 'whoso confes.spth his sins shall have mercy ;' and so I'm go ing to confess my fault to mother, be cause 'mercy' means she won't care much." To this rather loose explanation Robert only replied, "Tell her, then," still keeping his eyes on the weeds. Robert didn't see Bessie again till dinner-time, and then he knew by her lively chatter that the burden was off her mind at least. How he envied bcrl If he could only have the same peace! But no, he hadn't the courage to pay the price confession j so ho ate his dinner; silently enough, never opening bU mouth except to put food in iw As they arose from the table, Mrs. S said to her husband, "I wish you would fasten this window, so that it won't rattle in the night." "Oh, yes, I will !" he answered. "It need3 a wedge, doesn't it? Robert, run to ihe baru and get my new knife, which you'll find in the upper drawer of the tool-chest." Poor, coriSeict)ce-&f nick Robert I ife did as he was bidden, anil handed the knife to Jiis father, hoping fervently that he wouldn't open that blade. Mr. S did, though ; and when ques tioned, Robert had to tell the whole story. When he had finished, his father said sternly, "Now let us look at what you have done. You have wilfully disobeyed me ; and besides that, you have con cealed your guilt as long as possi ble in the hope of throwing the blame on some one else. You' may go to your roam, and stay till I give you leave to come down." Ail the afternoon Robert spent alone in his room, and when every now nnd then rincine peals of laughter reached his ears from the room below, where Bessie and Laura were having a fine time together, ho thought bitterly that Bessie had forgotten him in his trouble and disgrace. " But he was mistaken, for when Laura had gone home, aud it began to grow dark, Bessie went to her father's study, and pleaded her brother's Cfuso verv earnestly. ''Poor Rob! He'll get so lonely ; I'm afraid he'll throw himself out of the window, or do something dreadful." Robert was sitting by tho window in his room when Bessie softly opened the door and said, "Are you here, Rub? It's so dark I can't see." She drew a breath of relief a t his answer. "Yes, of course." "I'm to glad ! Well, father Bays you can come down now." Robert jumped up eagerly. "Did ask him to let me?" "Yes." "Well, you're a real good girl, you are," said Rob, falteringly, and uf'tera pause added, "111 take it all back, Bess, what I said this morning. You're twice as honest as I am." "O no, Rob! but you did give me some good advice," said Bessie, mis chievously. "Don't,' Bessie," pleaded Rob. "I'm 80 ashamed of myself." "Well, I wou't ever say a word about it." And she kept her promise; but Rob never forgot that Saturday's les son, Early Days. Some one who has tried it says : "I discovered many years ago that wood could be made to last longer than iron in tho ground, but thought the process so simple and inexpensive that it.was not worth while making any stir about it. I would as soon, have poplar, bass-wood, or quaking ash as any other kind of timber for fence posts. After having been set seven vears, they were as sound when taken out as when they wero first put in the 1 1 round. Time and weather seem to have no effect on them. 1 lie posts can-be prepared for less than I wo cents apiece. This is the recipe: Take boiled linseed oil and stir iu it puiverizcti charcoal to the consistency of paint. Put a coat of this over the timber.and there is not a mau that will live to sco it rot." Did any of our raaders ever thiuk of the amout of travel it takes to raise a crop of corn ou a twenty-acre field? To break this up would take one unn rired and sixtv-six miles: harrow inj: about fortv miles: furrowiuc out nine- lv miles, nlantiuir fortv-live miles, if with a planter, and if dropped and then covered, ninety miles. And for each plowing of two furrows in a row ninetv inilei. Thus you will see ii takes about eight or nine hundred miles traveling to raw twenty acres nf corn, not countiutr coinir to and returning from the field.

"Youucr in vears, but an old eloper," is the description of a runaway wife left at an Indianapolis station-house, $2 PEIl ANNUM. now to have i :oon ciii:k. Trof. Horsford, of Harvard Univer sity, has published a receipt for in im proving and preserving cider, by means. of which the progress of the vinous aud acetic feriuontutinus may be arrested at pleasure, and the cider preserved in just such a state as moy be desired. It is this : "Put the uew cider iuto dean casks or barrels, and allow it to ferment from one to three weeks, acqprding.as the weather is cool or warm. When it has attained to lively fermentation add to each gallon three-fourths of a pound of white sugar,' and let the whole ferment again until it possesses nearly the brisk plo.isant taste which it is desirable should bo permanent. Pour out a quart of the cider and mix with it one quarter of an ounce of sulphite of lime for every gallon the cask contains. Stir it until it is. in timately mixed, and pour the emulsion into the liquid. Agitate the contents of tho cask thoroughly for a lew mo ments, then let it rest that tho cider may settle. Fermentation will be ar1 rested at once, aud will not be resumed. It may be bottled in the course of a few weeks, or it may bo allowed to ro ma,3 in the cask and used ou draught'. If bottlctj, it will become a sparkling cider of surpassing excellence." Professor Tlorslord was the first to use the sulphite of lime for this pur pose, and to him is due tho credit of first calling attention to its usefulness. It is in uo respect deleterotis, as the sulphate, into which the sulphite is changed by the liberation of sulphu rous acid, is entirely insoluble, and re mains nt the bottom of the vessel. Remember, it is the sulphite of lime, not sulphate, must be used. 1 lie quality ot tho cider will remain unchanged for vears. A I)l!.tIAr. PLACE. Mr. James Brice, in nn article in the Cornhill Magazine, -describes Ico la ml in a chilly way. He says there are no trees, though apparently there were plenty in the tenth century, when we hear of men hiding among them and being hanged from them. No cor:i is grown, nor any other crop, ex cept a lew turnips and potatoes, which taste only half riito. The only wild quadrupeds are the blue Cox (who has probably come, as the white bear now and then does, ou ice-floes from Greenland), nnd tho reindeer the latter introduced about a century ogo, and still uncommon, ranging over the desert mountains. . 1 here is no town except tho capita, a city of 1,800 people, no other place Reserving to be called even a village, unless it be the hamlet of Aktirevi, on tho shore, of tho Arctic ocean, with some fifty houses; no inns (save one in that vil lage whose resources conui3lsof 2 beds, a single jug and basin and a billiard1 table;; no heus, ducks or geese (ex cept wild geese), no pigs, no donkeys, no roads, uo carriages, uo shops, no manufactures, no disseutt-rs from the established Lulhcrauism, no army, navy, volunteers or other guardians of public order, except ono policeman in Reykjavik, uo criminals, only two law yers, and finally, no snakes. "What, then, is there?" asks Mr. Brice, and replies, "frnow, mountains, glaciers, hot springs, volcanoes, earthquakes. northern lights, caverns, morasses, and above all, deserts. A correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch, on an election tour with Gov. Walker, relates this incident Tho usual scene at Gordonsvillo was varied by the following episode "Aunt" Martha Webster, a middle aied female, was sealed on one of the "Uatforins" with a stock iu trade, to wit. one "watermillion," ono "mush- million," and a small tabacco caddy full of eggs "jest dono laid." She was waititig patieutly, even com placently, for a customer, when a youthful frcedman, with utter disre gard for the law in the case, jerked the watermelon and stared off with it. But Aunt Martha had her weather eye skinned on him, and went for him by telegraph. Now that caddy was of a size just to fit Aunt Martha's foot, and she would doubtless have cuuyht the thief, but her foot came down upon the eggs, aud her atteutiou was thus diverted at a very inopportune mo ment. "Dar now," exclaimed the old lady : "dar go my watermillion, dar go my nice fresh eggs, and now what am I gwine to do?" Looking for some time at the "mushmilliou" she finally said, resignedly: "Well, cf I mus, I mus," and without more ado proceeded to cut open aud masticate theemains of the once prosperous aud promising es tablishment. We never stand by when a woman enters a hardware store, shuts her teeth together, aud inquires tho price of "them 'ere iron-handled rolling-pins," without feeling that there is rest be- ' yond the grave for her husband.

A Columbia c'ergyinan, who, whila preaching a sermon on Sunday even ing, perceived a man and woman nn der the gallery in the act of kissing each other behind a hymn book, did not lose his temper. No, he remained calm. lie beamed mildly at the offend ers over his spectacles, and wheu thor young man kissed her tho fifteenth time he merely broke his sermon short off in the middle of "tlrrdly" and of- . fcrcd a fervent prayer in" behalf of "the young man in the pink nick-tirf and the maiden in the blue bonnet nnd gray shawl, who were profaning the sanctuary by kissing one another in pew. 78." And the congregation said "Amen." Then the woman pull ed her veil down, and the young man sat thero and swore softly to himself. He does not go to church as much now as ho did. m A young man writing home to his mother to select a wife for him, ex pressed himself in the following lan guage: "Now mother I want you to pick out a girl for I want one to be my wife. She must have dark eyes, light hair.pcarly teeth, rosy checks, and Roman nose; and I think Susan Jaae Sommers fills the description." Always acknowledge all courtesies in a kindly spirit. Throw a bouquet and a card of of thanks to a serenad ing party, if not prepared to invite them in. If you haven't a bouquet or a card at band, throw a bootjack, or a brick, or anything of that sort, just to show your" appreciation of the kind ness intended. In a recent action for a breach of promise of marriage, the defendant's counsel asked the plaintiff, "Did my client enter into a positive agreement to marry you?" "Not exactly," sho replied; "but he courted me a good deal, and he told my sister that he in tended to marry into our family." A fellow rushed into an office this morning with the; interrogation: Whats tho diflurenca between the mice that havo just been eating my greenbacks and the Epistles of Paul?" All present subsided, and ho gasped: "They're both scripchewers," and then rapidly proceeded to the door. Henry Eure and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Wood, who recently gained notoriety by running oil' together from Portsmouth, Virginia, having got clear of the courts have eloped a second time. Henry Eure a fool. When tho Arkansas census-taker next goes round he will find Peter . Dayton missing from earth. The old man found a package, and threw it into the fire to see if it was powder or saud. It wasn't sand. Said a Detroit lady to a small boy whom she found crying in tho street, the other day : "Will you stop crying if I give you a penny ?" "No," said he; "but if you'il make it two cents I'll stop if it kills me." Harry, after looking ou while his new little sister cried at being washed aud dressed the other d.ty, turned away, sayiug, "If she screamed like that in heaven I don't woudcr they sent her olf." Dr. Cuyler wants young ladies to band together and say : "No lips Bhall touch my lips that have touched a bot tle." Rather rough this ou the fel lows that wero brought up by hand. A Milwaukee paper says: "What ia wanted in Kansas is more telegraph poles, or stronger ones. The average polo holds only about four horse thieves comfortably." One of the meanest little things on earth is to throw a small watermelon aud hit a political speaker iu the pit ot tho stomach just as he is expiajjjwjj tho Drcd Scott decision. Tho excuso of a young lady to her minister, who caught her napping, was : "Do you not think that young ladies had butter be fast asleep thau fast awake?" The young women of Lansing, Michigan, draw fast young men into their temperance meetings by tho handkerchief mode of signals. A clcrgymnn at Paris, Ky., stopped his prayer to lead an unruly man out by the ear, and then went ou : "As I was saying oh, Lord !" If a man really wants lo fiud out what's iu him, let him go to sea. The rough weather will generally euable him to ascertain it. No mau can read about all these burglaries without a determination to have his wife sleep on tho front side of the bed. A beautiful young lady doctor is practicing iu Huston. There aro nu merous cases of "heart disease" in hor district. Early to bed aud early rise will all be in vain if you don't advertise.
