Well, to go back lo where I was be fore I dipressed to explain to you how that frightful and Incurable disease, -membranous croup, was ravaging the town aoH drfving all mother mad with terror, I called Mrs. McWillKtms' attention to little Penelope and said : "Darling, I wouldn't let that child be chewing that pine stick, if I were you." "Precious, where ia the harm id it 7 said she, but at the same time prepar ing to take away tho stick for wo men cannot receive even the roost pal pably judicious suggestion without ar guing it; that is, married women. .. "Love, it is notorious that piue is tbe least nutritious wood that a child can eat." My wife's band, paused, in the act of takiog the stick, and returned itself to her lap. She brindled perceptibly, and said : "Hubby, you know better than that. You know you do. Doctors all say that turpentine in pine wood is good for weak back and the kidneys." "Abt I was under a misapprehen sion. J did not know that the child's kidueys and spina were affected, and that the family physician bad recom mended " "Who said that the child's and kidneys were aflecfed ?" spine "My love, you intimated it." "The ideal I never intimated any thing of tbe kind." "Why, my dear, it basn't been two minutes since you said " "Bother what I said I I don't care what I did say. There isn't any harm in the child's chewing a bit of pine stick if she want's to, and you know it perfectly well. And she shall chew it, too! So there, now I" "Say no more, my dear, I now see tbe force of your reasoning, and I will go and order two or three cords of the best pine wood to-day. No child of mine shall want while I " "Oh, please go along to you office, and let me have some peace. A body can never make the simplest remark but you must take it op and go to ar guing, and arguing, and arguing till you don't know what you are talking about, and you never do." "Very well, it shall be as yon say. But there is a want of logic in your last remark which However she was gone with a flour ish before I could finish, and had taken the child with her. That night at din ner tbe confronted me with a face as white as a sheet. "O Mortimer, there's another 1 Lit tle Georgie Gordon is taken." "Membranous croup?" - "Membranous croup." "Is there any hope for him T" "None in the wide world. Oh, what is to become of us T" By and by our nurse brought in our Penelope to say good-night and offer the customary prayer at the mother's knee. In the roidot of "Now I lay me down to sleep" she gave a slight cough. My wife fell back like one stricken with death. But the next moment she was op and running away with the activeness which terror in spires. She commanded that tbe child's crib be removed from the nursery to our bed-room ; and she went along to see the order executed. She took me with her, of course. We got matters arranged with speed. A cot bed was put up in my wife's dressing-room for the nurse. But now Mrs. McWilliams said we were too far away from the other baby, and what if he were to have the symptoms in the night and she blanched again, poor thing. We then restored tbe crib and the nurse to the nursery, and put up a bed for ourselvos in a room adjoining. Presently, however, Mrs. MoWill tams said, suppose the baby should catch it from Penelope T This thought struck a new panic to her heart, and the tribe of us could not get the crib out of the nursery again fast enough to satisfy my wife, though she assisted in her own person and well-nigh pull ed the crib to pieces in her frantic hurry. We moved down-stairs, but there was no place to stow the nurse, and Mrs. McWilliams said the nurse's ex perience would bean inestimable help. So we returned, bug and baggage, to our own bed-rooms once more, and felt a great gladness, like storm-buffeted birds that have found their neit again. Mrs. McWilliams sped to the nur sery to see how things were going on there. She was back in a moment with a new dread. She said : "What can make tbe baby sleep or I said : "Why, my durling, baby always sleeps like a graven image." "I know, I know; but there's some thing peculiar about his sleep now. He seems to he seems to breathe so rrynlarly. Oh, this is dreadful !" MARCH 8, 187G. "But my dear, ha always breathes regularly. "Oh, I know it, but there's some thing dreadful about it now. His nurse is too young and inexperienced. Maria shall stay there with her, and be on hand if anything happens." "Thai's a good idea ; but who will helprouf'J "You cah help me all I want. I wouldn't allow anybody to do any thing but myself, anyhow, at such a time as this." I said I would feel mean to lie abed and sleep, and leave her to watch and toil over our little patient all the wea ry night. But she reconciled me to it. "So old Maria departed and took up her ancient quarters in the nur sery. Penlope coughed twice in her sleep. "Oh, why don't the doctor come? Mortimer, this room is too warm. This room is certaiuly too warm. Turn off the registei quick!'' I shut it off, glancing at the ther mometer at the same lime, and won dering to myself if 70 was too warm for a sick child. The coachman arrived from down town now, with the news that our physician was ill and confined to bis bed. Mrs. McWilliams turned a dead eye upon me. and said in a dead voice: "There is Providence in it. It is fore ordained. He never was sick before. Never. We have not been living as we ought to live. Mortimer, time and time again I have told you so. Now you lee the result. Our child will never get well. Bo thankful if you can forgive yourself. I never can for give myself. I said, without intent to hurt, but with heedless choice of words, that I could not see that we had bean living such an abandoned life. "Mortimer! Do vou want to bring the judgment upon taby, to?" Then she began to cry, but sudden ly exclaimed: "The doctor must have rent medi cines?" I said: "Certainly; they are here. I was ouly waiting for you to give me a chance." "Well, do give them to me! Don't you know that every moment is pre cious now? But what is the use in sending medicines when be knows that tbe disease is incurable?" I said that while there was life there was hope. "Hope! Mortimer, you know no more what you are talkiug about than the child unborn. If- you As I live, tbe directions say give one tea spoonful every hour! Once an hour! as if we had a whole year before us to save the child in! Mortimer please please hurry. Give the poor perish ing thing a tablespoonful, and try to be quick!" "Why, ray dear, a table spoonful might " "Dont drive me frantic! . . . There, there, there, my precious, my own; it's nasty, bitter stuff, but it's good for Nelly-rgood for mother's precious darling; and it will make her well. There, there, there, put the little head on mamma's breast and go to s'eep, and pretty soon Ob I know-she can't live till morning! Mortimer, a table spoonful every half-hour will Oh, the child needs belladonna, to; I know she does and aconite. Get them, Mortimer. Now do let me have my way. You know nothing about these things." We now went to bed, placing the crib close to my wife's pillow. All this turmoil had worn upon me, and within two minutes I was something more than half asleep. Mr. McWil liams roused me: "Darling, is that register turned on? "No." "I thought as much. Please turn it on at once. This room is cold." I turned it on and presently fell asleep again. I was roused once more. "Dearie, ould you mind moving the crib to your side of tbe bed? It is nearer the register." I moved it, but had a collision with the rug and woke up the child. I dozed off once more while my wife quieted the sufferer. But in a little while these words came murmering remotely through the fog of my drow siness: "Mortimer, if we only bad some goose-grease will you ring?' I climbed drearily out and stepped on a cat, which responded with a pro test, and would have got a convincing kick for it if a chair had not got it instead. "Now Mortimer, why do you want to turn up the gas and wake up the child again?" "Because I want to see how much I am hurt, Caroline." "Well, look at the chair, too I have no doubt it is ruined. Poor cat! suppose you had " "Now, I am not go!ng to suppose anything about tho rat. It nuvcr would have occured if Maria had been allowed to stay here and attend tj $2 PER ANNUM. these duties, which are in her line, and not in mine." "Now, Mortimer, I should think you would be ashamed to make a re mark like that. It is a pity if you caunot do the few little things that I ask of you at such an awful time as this, when our child " "There, there, I will do anything you want. But I can't raise anybody with this bell. "They're all gona to be J. Where is the goose-grease?" "On the mantle-piece in the nur sery. If you'll step there and speak V Maria " I fetched the goose-grease and went to sleep agaiu. Once, mora I was called. . "Mortimer, I so hale to disturb you, but the room ia still too cold for me to try to apply this stuff. Would you mind lighting the fire? It is all ready to touch a match to." I dragged myself out and lit the fire, and then sstdown disconsolate. "Mortimer, don't sit there and catch your death of cold. Come to bed." As I was stepping in she said: "But wait a minute. Please give the child some more of the medicine." Which I did. It was medicine which made a child more or less live ly; so my wife made use of its wakeiug interval to slrip it aud grease it all over with goose-oil. . I was soon asleep once more, but once more I had to get up. "Mortimer, I feel a draft. I feel it distinctly. There is nothing so bad for this disease as a draft Please move the crib in front of the fire." I did it and collided with the rug again, which I threw into the fire. Mrs. McWilliams sprang out of bed and rescued it and we bad soroo words. I had another short interval of sleep and then got up, by request, and con structed a flax-seed poultice. This was placed upon tbe child's breast and left there to do its healing work. A wood fire ia not a permanent thing. I got up evory twenty min utes and renewed ours, r.nd this gave Mrs' McWilliams an opportunity to shorten tbe times of giving the medi cines by ten minutes, which was a great satisfaction to her. Now and then, between times, I recognized tbe flaxseed poultices, and applied sin apisms and other blisters where un occupie J places could be found upon the child. Well, toward morning the wood grve out, aua my wile wanted more. I said: "My dear, it is a laborious job, and the child must be nearly warm enough with her extra clothing. Now, mightn't we put on an other layer of poultices and " I did not finish because I was in tcrupted. I lugged wood up from below for some little time, and then in and fell to snoring as only a man can whose strength is all gone and whose soul is worn out. Last at broad daylight I felt a grip on my shoulder that brot me to my senses suddenly. My wife was glaring down on me aud gasping. As soon as she command her tongue she said: "Its all over! All over! The child's perspiring! What shall we do?" "Mercy, bow you terrify me! I dont know what we ought to do. Maybe if we scraped ber and put her in the draft again '-" 'Oh, idiot ! There is not a moment to lose. Go for the doctor. Go your self. Tell him he must come, dead or alive." I dragged that poor, sick man from bis bed and brought him. He looked at the child aud said she was not dy ing. This was unspeakable to me, but it made my wife as road as if he bad offered a personal affront. Than he said tbe child's cougb was only caused by some trifling irritaion or other in the throat. At this I thought my wife had a mind to show him the door. Now the doctor said be would make the child cough harder and dis lodge the trouble. So he gave ber something that sent her into a spasm of coughing, and presently up oame a little wood splinter or so. "This child bas no membranous croup," said he. "She has been chewing a bit of pine shingle or something of the kind, and got so lie little slivers in her throat. They won't do her any hurt.,' "No," said I. "I can well believe that. Indeed, the turpentine that is in them is very good for certain sorts of diseases that are peculiar to children. My wile will tell you so." But she did not. She turned away in disdain, aud left the room; and siuco that time there is nna episode in our life which we never refer to. Hence the tiilo of our days flows by in deep and untroubled sereuity. - Mark Twain. They are going to explode 60,000 lbs. of iiitro-glvcerine at Hell Gate next year, nay the New York papers.

They came out of Michigan ave nue grocery, carying a big jug, aud as they reached the walk heaid: "Now Dolly, you carry the jug and give me the quarter of a pound of tea." "I'd like to see myself !" she replied. "Dolly, do you want to see your husband lugging an old brown jug through the streets of the metropolis do you want others to see me?" "Come along with that jug?" she impatiently exclaimed. "Dolly, there's a gallon of molasses in here, and we know it, but every body else will think it's whisky if 1 carry it." "Let 'em think." "Dolly, if you love me you will car ry the jug' "I won t carry it." "Tben I won't! I've got twice as much character to sustain as vou have." J "Sustain it, then," she said as she started for the wagon around the cor ner. He called to her, but she did not answer. Giving the big jug a terrifio swing int the air, he let go his hold and it came down with an awful crash. "'Lasses is nothing to principle t" he explained to the little crowd, and then followed on after Dolly. How to cook Oatmeal. first, be sure to get new, fresh oatmeal, as if it becomes damp or old it is hitter. Put one quart of water into a tinned stewpan, salt sufficient to be palata ble; stir in carefully, so as not to have it lumpy, three "or four handfuls of oatmeal. Put it over the fire and stir it continually until it has swollen all it will, using care not to have it burn on the bottom. When it has swollen all it will, add more water, and leave" it cooking for several hours the longer the better and. the lon ger it is cooked the softer and more jelly-like it becomes. Having tbe stewpan in another kettle of hot water pi events it burning on the bottom, and you are relieved from constant stirring. It is good with milk, syrup or sweetened milk, or even with but ter alone. Food for horses. I once came near losing a valuable horse from feeding him dry hay and with nothing loose ning. I have never believed in dos ing a horse with medicine, but some thing is actually necessary in keeping in the right condition. Many use powders, but potatoes are better, and safer, and cheaper, if fed judiciously. If those who are not in the babit of feeding potatoes to horses will try them, they will be astonished at the result. I Lave known a horse changed from a lazy, dumpish one, to a quick, active, headstrong animal, in five days, by simply adding two quarts of potatoes to his feed daily. If very much corn meal is fed, they do not need so many potatoes. Too many potatoes are weakening, and so are to many apples. Country Gentleman. A Lecturer once enumerated the qualifications of a good wife in the following antithesis of "To be and not to be:" She should be like three things, and yet she should not be like those three things. First, she should be like a snail, always keep within her own house, but should not be like a snail, and carry all she bas upon her back, Secondly, she should be like an echo, to speak when she is spoken to; but. she should not be like an echo, always to have the last word. Thirdly, she should be like a town clock, always keep time and regularity ; but she should not be like a town-clock, to speak so. loud that all tbe town may hear her. It is a great year for the old man. Grandfathers who have baen neglected and made to feel that they were in the way, and wished they were dead, who have long been thrust away, in the kitchen and left to mumble to themselves in the chimney corner, are astonished by being brushed up every evening and brought into the parlor, where tbey are shown off to the com pany as Centennial relics. "Grand father, you kuew Washington, didu't you?" screams a grand-daughter in his ear, for he is very deaf. "Yes, yes," says grandfather, "the Gin'rel borer'd a chaw terbaccer of me many and many a time!" 'lhe old man is going to Philadelphia, sure. Wheu "Spivius," dow of Mounds villa, W.
