"I cau't Bee whatever we will do with heiV She's delicate, sickly little thing. 2 and hasn't either the strength or the de Biro to earn her living as the rest of us do eh, Louie ?" Motherly old Mrs. Simmonds smiled 1 Blf approvingly, half indulgently down iu the palo, wistful face of the girl who s iiso quietly betide her, listening to the conversation going on between Mr. Sim' mauds nnd her guest Farmer Alwyn'B wife, who Lad just run over with her knitting for au afternoon's visit and to ".stay to teu." ; They were the very ideals of comforta Lie," contented, well-to-do farmer's wiveB; they were portly, ropy and bright-eyed such a contrast, physically, to the bIuu, "jlow, hollow-eyed girl who spoke never a word unless specially addressed. '.Her name was Louie llarland, and she y had been-a member of the thrifty Sim- nionda fuuiily for years ever eiiice a bit ter ooiq JJeceniler day, thirteen years ago, when a forlorn," halt-clothed baby of tluoo ysiuM, she had come to the kitchea door crying, shivering, and in barely intelligible words t dd them sh had lost "father," aud was so cold and hungry. Mrs. Simmonds' big. warm heart had been stirrud to the very dopt'is by the sight of tho forlorn little waif, and in mingled indignation against the cruel wretch who would permit such a baby to become so ragged, suffering aud neg leoted, and great, tender pity, took the little one in, resolving to keep it in warmth aud plenty until "father" should search for it, and it had now been fourteen years, and Louie llarland had como to be almost regarded as a genuine Simmonds. by father and moth er and the half-dozen rosy, plump chil dren who loved Louie so dearly. For she was loveable. and although, as Mrs. Simmonds tenderly declared, the y child was fit for nothing not even com petent to earn her salt, yet she was a favorite with them all for her sweet, gentle ways, and her patience and will ingness to do what little she could. Only Louie could not work. It seemed to her that of all terrible things the routine of housework was the most ter. rible, and yet she never hesitated an in stant to obediently perform whatever lay within her power, however distasteful the task was. But there was one thing Louie loved to do, one thing that made the Simmonds girls and boys sometimes laugh, aud sometimes cry, and sometimes feel awe struck; ihat made farmer S mmonds . , often lay down his pipe in rapt amazed interest, that made Mrs. Simmonds wipe her eyes and sob audibly and that was when Louie would read aloud of winter I evenings, or recite some exquisite poem she had memorized, or render some side-splitting morceau from some hu morist. Then Louie would seem to lost her identity. She would flush with excite ment, and her fresh, sweetly-intoned young voice would fairly vibrate with the intensity of the enthusiasm ; her fragile form would seem to dilate with intensest interest; her dark, intelligent eyes would shine with inspiration, or melt with pathos or glow with humor, and from farmer Simmonds down to little Nell they all considered Louie's reading a genuine treat'. t Only that they never dreamed of ap- -' predating it as they ought none of them except William Dayton, Mrs. Simmouds younger brother, who' would hang on Louie's "enraptured words with interest scarcely less intense thau her own. . . He came gradually to care very much for her ; until, one day, when she went to him with all her heart in her big black eyes, and told him, breathlessly, that Mrs. Lecount, the great lady who was staying at the hotel, had hoard her re oitiug ono day when she was driving by, and had instantly como iu. and had a long, long talk with her, and the result was she was to go back to Loudon with her When William Dayton heard that he knew for sure that he cared, very, very much for Louie that she had com pletely filled his heart, and that without her life would lose very many, if not all, its charms. Aud right then aud there he told her how he loved her, how he should miss her, and begged her to be true in heart to him when she Bhould be away among people who would no doubt be more cougenial to her than her old associates. And Louie had confessed her love and promised to be true to him; and not long after that she went away from the quiet country side with Mrs. Lecount, and although letters frequently came saying she was well and happy, and had found occupation that was easy aud delightful to her, still the old farm house seemed lonesome without her, and William found it hard work to do without seeing her thin, intelligent, sillow face that to him was so fair and lovely. The late summer days went on, aud winter followed, and another summer came, and in all those weary days Louie never came home, and good old Mrs. Simmonds used to complain and fret that Louie had forgotten thorn, that Louie had found other friends to take their places ; while only William Dayton would not have it that the one woman he loved was not true to her pure instincts of gratitude and principle. But even William, so loyal, loving, and truo began to doubt at last when into Louie's letters, dated here and there aud everywhere, there began to appear very often Claude Hamilton's name never in a way that would have aroused any jealousy, yet in a way that aroused his wonder, his suspicion that perhaps Louio had discovered she loved this fancy-named fellow better than she did himself. Those were dark days for poor Wil liam, lightened only by Louie's letters, which were themselves not tho light some messages it seemed to William they should ha.vo been. At least, al though they wore cheerful, hopeful aud kindly affectionate, Btill, tly recurrence of Claude Hamilton's namo spoiled all else for William. . With that fueling of suspicion against this Mr. Hamilton, the feeling that was s jjoar akin to jealousy of Louie, there came to William another new source oi trouble, and that was a dawni?, resi les discontent that he did not under stand the nature of Louie's business. She had kept it secret from them all at the farm, merrily promising to let tlfc m know when her future prospects of fame and success were assured beyond the shadow of a doubt. Oa that brave, loving promise William hal heretofore quietly rested until gradually the demon of jealousy crept in among his true love for Louio; until his heart, torn by the never-failiug men tion, iu some way or other, of Claudof Hamilton's namo, William could no longer endure it, and then upon receipt of a letter from Louie, saying that her next would be from London, where she wouti remain a fortnight, William made np his mind to be iu London for thtd. same fortnight, and devote all Ms tire less energies to finding the girl he loved, and who so persistently kept herself from him. And so, one stormy night iu early Au tumn, it happened that William Dayton was led to Stein Hall, where huge pla cards announced the appeararance of some popular daaroatio reader, whose name he did not Bee for the crowds that were passing iu with him: and he took his seat with a strangely homesick, lone some feeling coming over him as he re alized with a new keen appreciation the magnitude of the undertaking that had brought him to the city with ita thou sands and tens of thousands of people who had never as much as heard pf Louie Harland's, name. Or Claud Hamilton's either, he thought, with a thrill of fierce jealous rage. Claud Hamilton, fr whom he feared, Louie was gradually playing him false, whom And just then the enthusiastic ap plause of the vast crowd made him look up to see whom they were welcoming with such warm, glad greeting made him look up to see a slight girlish figure stauding iuthe center of the stage; a stylishly dressed, elegantly-looking lady in trailing black silk, heavy and lustrous, with frills of exquisite lace falling over her white-kidded handtf and braceleted arms, with a ruff of the same flimsy suowiuess circling her slender, rouud throat, where a ruussive gold pin caught it in rich pluiuuess of elegance. A girl with a rarely intelligent face, and dark, intense eyes; with a pure, pale complexion to which all tho storm of ap plause brought no flush of gratified vanity, with a grave, expressive mouth that made William Dayton, almost un able to resist the temptation he felt, to rush to her and ask her if Claud Hamil ton had defiled it with his love kisses. For it was Louie llarland Louio, who, had risen like a star in her profession of dramatic reading Louie, who had crowded houses when she appeared, and who was coining a fortune as fast ns a pair of woman's hands had ever done. Then she commenced one of the very ballads she had many a time rendered for them at the old farm-house, when Mrs. Simmonds would wipe her eyes, aud old farmer Simmonds forget to draw on his pipe until it went out. And William listened, and tho vast audience listened, spellbound, to the sweet, pathetic voice, round and full, as a silver boll. Then followed an uproari ous encore; then other recitations and other applause, aud then it was over, and William saw her retire off the stage, and it seemed to him that he had sud denly gone into a dark place. It was easy enough to obtain Miss Harland's address everybody knew it, and bo the next morning he was shown to Miss Harland's parlor, where Louie herself Bat, alone, with her little writing desk before her, at which she was busy when he was shown in, taking her so completely by surprise. She arose instantly to greet him, her face flushing warmly enough at sight of him. and even ns she came aoross the floor and he saw the glow on her cheeks, he found himself asking himself if it were joy at seeing him or consciousness of disloyalty to him that occasioned it, At all events her words were kind and eager. "Willi Is it possible? Dear, old Will, how glad I am to see you I" And in Bpite of all his fear and doubt William took her in his arms and kissed her. . "I was starving to see you, my dar ling. I could not livo without you any longer. Louie l so this is the mysteri ous secret you have been keeping from up, from me I" She looked bravely, proudly in his face. " You speak almost reproachfully, Will ! Can you find it iu your heart to censure me because I wented to wait until I could come, an honor and a help to you all ? Will, don't look at me bo what is the harm in it?" " There is no harm in it, Louie. No one is prouder of you and your grand Buccesa that I if it hasn't turned your heart from me. Louie ! Louie ! if you knew how your letters have stabbed me, if you only knew tho anguish, the fear, am! the tormenting doubts that have driven me to you not able to endure them." Louie's eyes were perfect revelations of amazement. "Will! My letters ! Your doubt and fear 1 Will, your doubt and fear of me?" "Of you, Louio 1 your frequent, yes, mention of Claud I could not bear ooutinual, ceaseless Hamilton's name ; Louie, I feared you were learning to love him, and that I would be for gotten." His voice was on honest index of his feelings. It was intense, earnest, so eagerly anguishful that it touched Louie very tenderly. " Will, how could you ? Oh, Will 1" Then half smiling, with a suspicion of tears in her eyes, aud a look that was equally reproachful and amused, Louio rang her bell, and gave a message iu an undertone to the servant that answered. Then she turned to William again. "So you have been jealous of Mr. Hamilton, Will ? Wait a moment, for I want to tell you something. Mr. Ham ilton is one of the dearest friends I ever had. no has been good to me, Will, oh, so good ! Always ho will come first on the list of ray friends ; always " She was interrupted by some one rap ping on the door, then enteriug uusum mouod. A little flush of mischievous excitement, accompanied by that same look of reproof, was iu her eyes as a lit tle old gentleman, with a pleasant placid lace came in, with spectacles on his eyes, and a head bald and shiny, a little old gentleman as ugly as" well could be imagined, but such a courteous, high bred gentlemau, for all that, it was in itT fest at a glance. " I sent to have you meet Mr. Day Ion, Mr. Hamilton. Gentlemen, allow me to introduce you Mr. Hamilton, my dear adviser and business agent aud kindest of friends; Mr. Dayton, my lover is it, Will?" William was so perfectly happy, aud when he and Louie rau down to the farm for a britf visit, there occurred a hasty, happy wedding-time, aud Mr. Dayton constituted himself adviser and a;;ent of his lovely, talented, popular wife. " Because there's no telling how the land Hamilton jealousy might have ended if he had happened to be young, handsome, fascinating, and unmarried." Louie laughingly made answer " Will, you are the most jealous man iu existence." Slio lifted her sweet face to her hus band's, nnd, as he kissed her, he said: "Because I am the most loving. There can be no love without jealousy but I'll never doubt you again, dearest." I , " The Admirable Crkhton." I James Crichton wb a human prodigy. Before reaching his twentieth year, he had run throughthe wholo circlo of the; sciences, and was a master of ten lan guages, which, from his vast memory, were as familiar to him as his mother tongue. Nor was his fame confined merely to literary excellence ; beseemed to combine the most discordant qualities, and was without a rival in all corporeal exercises. It is reported of him, that in fencing, he could spring at one bound the length of twenty feet on hi a antago nist, and could use tho Bword in both hands with equal dexterity. He had also a fine voice, and great skill in playing on musical instruments. His person and countenanco were alike eminently beau tiful, which served to set off his accom plishments; for even virtue never fails to be still more acceptable in a graceful form. For the victory he gained on the 4th of February, 1579, over the learned men of the University of Paris, ho had conferred upon him the title of "Ad mirable." The very next day he attended a tilting match at the Louvre, where, in the presence of the Court of France, he bore away the ring fifteen times suc cessively. The last adventure in which he was engaged, displayed his extraor- d nary spirit and skill in feats of arms. Roving about the streets of Mantua one night during the carnival, and playing on the guitar, he was attacked by six men in masks. Hit. courage did not de sert him on this critical occasion ; he op posed them so stoutly that they were glad to fly ; aud their leader being dis armed, threw off his mask, and begged for his life. How must it have wounded the sensibility of Crichton to discover in the suppliant Vincentio di Gonzaga, the son of tho Duke of Mantu, whose pre centor he had been chosen. Iustead of merely granting the forfeited life, which was all that ought tohavebeen required, he fell ou his knees, apologized for his mistake, and presenting his sword to the prince, told him that his highuess was always master of his poor existence, and needed not to have sought his death by treachery. The brutal prince, either irritated by the affront which he had re ceived, or stung with jealousy, grasped the proffered instrument of destruction aud plunged it into his tutor's heart. Remarkable Lakes. On the top of a ridge of mountains in Portugal, called Estralia, ore two lakes of great extent and depth, especially one of them, which is said to bo unfathom able. What is chiefly remarkable in them is that they are calm when the sea is so, and rough when that js stormy. It is therefore probable that they have a sub terranean communication with the ocean; and this seems to ba confirmed by the pieces of ships that they throw up, though almost forty miles distant from the Bea. There is another extraordinary lake in this country, which, before a storm, is said to make a frightful rumb ling noise, that may be heard at a dis teuco of several miles. And we are also told of a pool or fouutaiu, called " Fer vencias," and twenty miles from Coim bra, that absorbs not only wood, but the lightest bodies thrown into it. such as cork, straw, feathers, eta, which sink to the bottom and are never seen more. To these we add a remarkable spring near Entremos, which petrifies wood, or rather encrusts it with a case of stone; but the most remarkable circumstance is, that in summer it throws up water enough to turn several mills, and iu win ter it is perfectly dry. Fooled by a Bottle. .. The other night, says the Santa Barbara (Cal.) Ve,'tt houenear the beach was entered by a burglar, long after the iu- ! mates had gone to sleep.

She accordingly came in with a small bottle iu her baud (she not owning a pistol), and was just in time to see a man crawl from uu,der the bed aud make a hurried exit through the window. The woman disnlaved an amount'of presence of miiul and courage not often exhibited in uu emergency like that, even union;: llic t bterner sex FARM GARDEN AM) HOUSEHOLD. Kei'lpch. Baked Macaroni. Uso about half a pound of macaroni, break up iu pieces, put it iu-boiling water and stew gently for twenty minutes; salt it a little; drain well; have ready a buttered pudding dish; place a layer ol tho macaroni in the bottom, then cover with grated cheese and a few lumps of butter; then i ! t anoincr inycr oi macaroni uuu mora cheese and butter until all is used up; add a wineglass of cream or milk; bake covered for half an hour ; then re move the cover and brown nicely; serve it in the bako-dish. To noin A Turkey. A delicate hen turkey should, always be selected for boiling. Pick aud draw it, taking great care not to break the gall-bladder; when it is singed, cut through tho skin rouud tho first joint of the legs, and draw them out by fastening the feet to a strong hook and then pulling the bird away from it; tako off tho head nnd neck, wash it cl-.au, and wipe it dry; fill the breast with veal stuffing; in trussing it, draw the legs with the body, break the breastbone, and give the turkey as plump an appearance as you can; put it into plenty of hot water and boil it very gently for about two hours; served either with celery sauce or a good white sauce. Dried Apple Cake. Soak three cup fuls dried apples over night, then draw off the water through n sieve; chop the apples slightly, then simmer them in 'three cupfuls of molasses for two hours; after that add two eggs, one cupful sugar, one cupful sweet milk or water, three-quarters cupful butter or lard, one teaspoonful baking powder, flour enough to make pretty stiff batter; add cinna mon, cloves to taste. Graham Bread. Three pints of gra ham flour, one and a half pints of white flour, one-half pint of molasses, a little salt, oue cupful yeust; mix rather wet with a spoon. IiidicutiunM or a toad Iluiier Vow. It is said that the color of the inside of tho cow's ear 'affords uu infallible guide to tho selection of a good butter cow. If the skin ion the inside of the ear is of a rich yellow or orange color and the lining of the ear is covered with an oily secretion, the cow will be sure to give a good duality of milk, rich in butter. Cows that produce a high-colored but ter have a large amount of the secretion, tho inside of the ear being of flu orange tint. On the other hand, light-col no 1 butter makers present a scanty, tLin, pale yellow secretion, in some cases found only at the bottom of the ear, while the inside lining is of a corre spondingly pale, undefiued color. Every male of the bovine family has the power of secreting a certain amount of this oily matter. If tho quantity be normally large, secretion will tako placo freely in the mammary glands, the ear and tho skin. As the test is simple and costs nothing, it cannot fail to prove a useful auxiliary to tho dairyman and farmer in their selection of rich milkers. Indiana Fanner. . Au American iu Distress. One. rarely sees a fellow-countryman in distress in Paris, writes Edward King in the Boston Journal, but I did meet one day beforo yesterday. He came up time on the Rue Scribe, where if you are not an Amerieau you are supposed to be, as nearly every office on it is in some way connected with Yankee trade, and observing me sharply, he said : " Arc you an American ?" I proudly acknowledged that I wos a citizen of the republic. "Wul," he said, "can you toll mo where I con get' some chewin' tobacco?" I s.iid no, of course ; no ono t hews in France didn't know personally any American resident who "chawed." " Wul," he said, sadly, ' it's nil very well for them that don't chew ; but I've got to have sjme ; can't live w ithout it." ; Aud he stepped out with determined air, looking t'jr another American to whom he could put his despuiiiivj question. "News as is News." American people must go to the other side of the Athuitio to hear news of home. Here, for instance, is the Indv pv.ndanv.ti Jht'e informing a puzzled Wui-ld that Mr. llaudall has renounced the speakership "and the President will probably be re-elected." If for " has reuouueed " wo road "has been renominated." aud then read that it is I likely that the Speaker will be re-elected, we shall perhaps get at the sense of the paragraph.

Conversation is the ventilation of tho mind. Humility makes all other graces amia ble. It is easy finding reason why ether folks should be patient. There arc some persons on whorr their faults sit well, and others who are made ungraceful by their good qualities. Tl.ippiucss is in ta'ste, nnd not in things; and it is by having what we love that wo are happy, not by having what others find agreeable. The bird of wisdom Hies knrtand seeks his food under hedge?; the eagle himself would be starved if he always soared nlolt and against the bud. Pride dries the tears of anger and vexation; humility those of grief. The one is indignant that wo should suffer; the other claims us by the reminder that we deserve nothing else. Emulation is a handsome passion; it is enterprising, but just withal. It keeps a man within the terras of honor aud makes the contest for glory just aud generous. He strives to excel, but it is by laising himself, not by depressing others. We cannot bo held to what is beyond our strength and mconp, for at times the accomplishment and execution may not be in our power; and, indeed, there is nothing really in our power, except tho will; on this are necessarily based and founded all the principles that regulate the duty of mau. A good character is in all cases the fruit of personal exertion. It is not created by external advantages; it is no necessary appendage to birth, wealth, talents or station; but it is the result of one's own endeavors, the fruit and re ward of good principles manifested in a course of virtuous and honorable ac tions. Manners are the happy woys of doing things; each ono a stroke of gemus or oi love, now repeated and hardened into usnge, they form at last a rich varnish, with the routine of life washed, anil its details adorned. If they are superficial, bo nre the dew-drops which give such a depth to the morning me.idovvs. A Way They Have. ' ' How many thumbs ?" smilingly asks the sitting-room carpet, looking up at its colleague, tho battered stove-pipe. Wifh a wink iu its disjointed elbow the stove pipe, riveting its gur.eon its friend, replies: "Only three, but I've raked enough skin off tho other knuckles to make a pair of boots." Chuckling re sponds the carpet : ' ' Not so well ns you did last year. I got n couple of finger nails, two wholo trousers' knees, started a good crop of hang-nails on every finger in the house, nnd I think I have a di vorce suit pending." "That's a pretty good spread," replies the pipe, and then, turning to an exhausted tack-hammer thr.t was resting itself ou the window bill, asked: "How is your score?" " Oh, don't ask me," gasped tho tack hammer. " I've been busier than the master's gavel on a chapter night. I haven't missed but one kuucklo sinco I started in, and then I caught the ball of a thumb plumb centre, and raised a blood blister as big as a walunt." And the graceless trio smiled in silent chorus and an old, rheumatic mop that wbh standing on the porch listenicg to the conversation through the keyhole, pumped itself against the door in an , ec:.tiey of delight and fell fiuuting across the.wheelbarrow with one leg that was waiting on tho walk for somebody to' c nie nloug and fall over it.
