Sarah Voudney, in Oood Words. THE OLD STORY. A sober, half-tliscontented faco at the window a bright face in the street. The window is thrown open, and a smile goes from tho bright face to the sober one, giving it a new and pleasanter as pect. Both fuces are young that at the window youngest; almost child -like. Yet tho window-face in the faco of a wife, and the street-faco that of a maiden, " fancy-free." How strangely 1 was tleceiveu, Bella 1" said the lady in the street. " Deceived I How, Mary ? What do you mean ? But, come in, you're just the one I wish to see." " I was sure I saw you, not ten min utes ago, riding out with Harry," said the young friend, as they met and kissed at the door. Oh, dear, no! I. ' haven't Deen out riding with Harry for a. month." "Indeed? Hows that 1 can re member when you rode out together almost every afternoon. "Yes; but that was before our mar riage," replied the young wife, in a voice that made her friend look into her faco narrowly. Thfl husband bas less timo for recreation than the lover. Ho must give more thought to business," remarked the friend. The little wife tossed her bead and shrugged her shoulders in a doubtful wav, saying, as she did so: " I don't know about the business. But lovers and husbands are different species of the genus liomo. The explanation lies somewhere in this direction, I pre sume. "Ah, Bella, Bella! That speech does not come with a musical sound from your lips," remarked the friend, snnlmg, yet serious. "Truth is not always melodious," said Bella. 44 How is it to sweetheuits and wives ?" asked the friend; "do they belong to the same class V" The .question appeared to reach tho young wife's i uva with a stiggestive force. Her v ice was a little changed as she answer'id: 41 1 don't know; perhaps not !" Then, niter a moment, she said: 14 And you thought it was Harry and I that you snw riding out V" 44 1 was certain of it; but, it only goes to show how one may be mis taken." The friend had been scauning the young 'wife for some moments, from liead to foot, iu a way that now called out the question: " Do you see anything peculiar about me V" " Yes," was answered. " What V 44 A peculiar untidiness that I never saw m tlie sweetheart l Bella glanced down at he'r soiled and milled dress. "My neglige?" she said, with a little short laugh. 1 So I should think! Now, shall 1 draw your picture ?" " Yes; if you have an artist s lancy. 44 Hero it is: Hair lusterless and un tidy; skin dull for want of action and feeling; a wrapper better conditioned for the washing-tub and ironing-table, than as a garment for the fair person of a young wife; no collar nor ornament of any kind; and a countenance well, I can't give that as I saw- it a little while ago, at the window, but I'm sure it wasn't tho face to charm a lover. Per haps it might suit a husband but I have my doubts." " Why, Mary. You are in a 6portive mood." " No; serious. How do you like the picture? Lt't me compare it with the original. Fuirlv reproduced, I believe. 1 hardly think that you were in this 1 trim when Harry lA iu love. But it may all be well enough for a htiaband I have no experience in this line, and can't speak by the card." Bella felt the reproof of her friend, as was evident by the spots that began to burn on her cheeks. Yon wouldn't have me dress in party stylo every day ?" sho said. " Oh, no; but 1 d havo you neat and sweet, as a young wife should always be; that is, if sho cares for the fond eyes of her husband. I verily believe it was Harry I saw riding out a little while ago 1" Bella threw a quick, startled look upon iter friend who, already, half re gretted her closing sentence. "Why did you say that? What did you mean ?" she asked. 1 only said it to plague you, an swered the friend. ' To plague mc?" There was an expression in Bella's faco that Mary had never seen there be fore. Her eyes had grown suddenly of a darker shade, and were eager and questioning. Her lips lay closer to gether; there were lines on her fore head. 44 To plague mo ?" she repeated. " Take care, Alary I" The friend wished now that sho had not made that suggestion; and yet, since making it, doubt had reached conviction in her mind. She was sure she had not been mistaken as to Bella's husband; but who was the lady with whom she had seen him riding out? Bella had said, a little while before, that her husband had not driven her out for a month; and yet Mary felt cer tain that she had seen him riding out with a lady at least three or four times during that period. Should sho hide the truth; or trusting to its power for ultimate good, let it appear? There was no timo for reflection. She spoke, now, rather from a desire to help her friend into a better state of perception, than from any clear sight in tho matter. 41 1 think," she said, 44 that having now your husband, you have fallen into tho error of thinking tliat personal at tractions are not needed to hold him by your side. Now, it is my opinion that if Harry had found you in your present untidy condition and you are often in no better plight in a single instance before inarriage, ho would have broken off the engagement; and I'm sure that in a suit for breach of promise, if I had been on tho jury, a verdict in his favor would have been rendered. Bella did not smile at this closing sally, but sat looking into her friend's face in a strange, bewildered, troubled way. Tho intimation that her husband had been riding out with a lady, when ill iainy reacneii ner mougni, gave ner a sharp pain. It had never entered her imagination that he could look, with a passing sense of admiration, into any faco but hers that his heart could turn from her to another for a single instant of time. She had perceived that he was colder,;more indifferent, less careful of her pleasures than in tho sunny days of their courtship and betrothment but, that ho could seek another's society, was a thing unheard of. It was a pro verb, this contrast between lovers and husbands; and she had felt she was proving its truth. That was all. It was an unpleasant truth, and hard to receive; yet she saw no remedy. But now, by a word or two, her friend has started her into a different view of the case. Was her husband's heart really turned from her ? " She was frightened at the remote suggestion for in his love lay all her world. 44 You aro not really in earnest, Mary, about seeing Harry riding out with a lady this afternoon V" she said in a voice and with a look that revealed fully her state of mind. The color had left her face, and her heart shook in her voice. " Probably I was mistaken, Bella," replied the friend; 41 though I had not I doubted the fact a moment, until I saw you at tho window a little while ago." 44 Did you notice tho lady very particu larly ?" 41 No; but let tho matter pass, dear. No doubt I was'mistakeu. It is worry ing yon more than I could havo imagin ed." Bella looked at her friend for some moments, in a strange way, then giving a low, suppressed, wailing cry, bent forward and laid her face upon her bosom, sobbing and shuddering in such wild turbulanco of feeling that her friend became actually alarmed. 41 You havo frightened me !" said the young wife, lifting her head at last, us her excitement died away. " Ah, Mary, if I should lose my husband's love, it would kill me !" 14 Then, Bella," answered her friend, " see to it that you neglect none of the means required for keeping it. If you would continue to bo loved, you must not grow unlovely. The charms that won your husband must not bo folded up and kept for holiday occasions, and then put on for other eyes than his. You must keep them ever displayed be fore him; nay, put on new attractions. Is not tho husband even dearer than the lover, and his heart better worth the holding ? Look back, my dear friend, over the brief moons that have waxed and waned since you were a bride. Put yourself on trial and take impartial tos timony. How has it been? Has your temper been as swett as when you sat leaning together in summer twilights, talking of the love-crowned future ? llave you been as studious to pleaso as then; as careful of his feelings; as regard! ul of his tastes ? Do you adorn yourself for his eyes now, as you dressed for his coming then ? As a wife, are you as lovable as you were when a maiden ? Bella, Bella! look to tho little foxes that spoil the tender grapes, if you would havo loves ri pencil fruitage Love is not a chameleon to ioed on air, and change in every lino of condition. it must have substantial food. Deprived of this, and it languishes and dies. And now, dear, I have warned you. Meet your husband, when he returns Jiome this evening, as sweetly as when he came to you in your father's house, at tracted as the bee is to the flower, and note the manner in which his face will lighten up. Did he kiss you when he came home yesterday?" lhe face of Bella flushed a little. "Husbands soon lose the taste for kissing," she answered, at the same timo patting her small foot nervously on the Brussels carpet. " If the wife s lips remain as sweet as the maiden's never 1" 44 Oil, you don't know anything about it," said Bella. 41 Wait until you aro married." After tho friend said good-aiternoon, tho young wife went to her room and cried for a good quarter of an hour. Then she commenced doing as her friend had suggested. Befreshed by a bath, sho attired herself in a fipotless white wrapper, with a delicate blue belt bind ing her waist. A small lace collar, scarcely whiter than Jier pure neck, edged and tied with a narrow azure rib bon, was turned away from her swan- like throat; and lust below was an ex quisitely-cut oval pin. Her hair, a rich golden brown, had been made glossy as the wing of a bird, and was folded just enough away from the temples to show their delicate cutting. Two open rose buds red and white nestled in her hair. She did look lovely and lovable, as her mirror told' her. Harry was half an hour later than usual in coming home. Bella was sitting in the parlor when he came in, waiting for his return with a new feeling at her heart a feeling of blended fear and hope; fear lest he was actually becoming estranged from her, and a trembling hope to win him back again. His step was not very light. Sho noticed that, for her ear had become newly sensitive. He had caught a glimpse of her through the window, and knowing, therefore, that she was in the parlor, came to the door and stood there. Bless me !" he exclaimed, after a moment, 44 how charming you look 1" And he came forward with a pleased smile on his face, and, taking her hand, bent down and kissed her. 41 Sweet as a rose I" ho added, hold ing her away from him, and gazing at her admiringly, How her heart did beat with a new delight ! 44 Dressed for company ?" There was just a little shade of cold ness in Harry's voice, as he suggested the probable reason for her singularly improved appearance. " YTes," replied Bella. "Who?" 44 My husband," in a trembling voice. Harry was a little puzzled, but great ly pleased. It was true that he had been riding out that afternoon with lady; a handsome, attractive woman, who was throwing around his weak, almost boyish, spirit, a siren's fascination. She put on eveiy charm in her power to summon; while the foolish wife was hiding' hers away, and taking no pains to hold dominion in the heart she had won, and was now in danger of losing, Five minutes before the companion of his ride appeared to his fancy so charm ing, in comparison with his wife, that he felt no pleasure at tho thought of meeting ono who, since their marriage, had seemed to grow every day less at tractive. But now Bella was his queen of hearts again I 44 And are you really dressed to re ceive me, darling?" he said, as he kissed her again, and then drew his arm lov ingly about her waist. 41 Yes, for you. Could a true wife wish to look lovelier to other's eyes than her husband s " I should think not," he answered. She understood, hi the words, more than he meant to convey. There was a rose-tint on everything in Uellas home that evening, rrom the cold, half-indifferent husband, Harry was transformed to the warm, attentive lover. How many times, as she turned her eyes upon him, did she catch a look of tender admiration or loving pride. 4 hat has made you so charming to-night V" he said, as he kissed her for the tenth time. " lou look as pure and sweet as a lily." 'Love for my husband, sho an swered, and then a tear, in which joy's sunlight made a rainbow,, stole out from the drooping lashes, and iay, a crystal drop on her cheek. She made no confession of her thoughtless neglect of tho nians by which hearts are held in thrall to love; though her husband half guessed at the fact that something had awakened her to the truth. On the next afternoon Harry rode out with a lady again; but that lady was his wife. Ho was never afterward in dan ger of being won away from faithful love, for Bella grew in his eyes more attractive, more charming, more .lov able every day. And thus sho saved him, in his younger and less stable years, from being drawn aside from the right way; and both hersi'f and him from years of wretchedness. Christum at Work.

It is not a general practice with farmers to give salt to pigs or to mix it in their food. Salt is no more injurious to a pig than to a person. The stomach of a pig and its digestive functions are more like those oi a human being tnan are those of almost any other animal A hungry pig would probably eat enouch to injure itself if its food was strongly mixed with salt, just as a hun gry man would be likely to eat too much of salted fish or meat. Salt is used: to make human food more pala table", and seems necessary to supply the wastes to the system caused by the animal secretions. The instincts of horses and ruminating animals lead them to desire salt. Hence, in a wild state thev' seek for salt springs or 44 licks." where they may satisfy tin natural craving, and in a domesticated condition it Bhould always be accessible to" them, and then they never will iniure themselves by eating too much of it. Pigs do not seem to hav this natural craving for salt to the same extent as other animals, but I have known them to eat it when given to them while in pasture, and also whiie confined in pens, and I have made it a practice to put salt where pigs could help themselves to it. When pigs are fed cooked food of any kind, and especially vegetables, the food can he improved ami made more palatable, so that the appetit e may not Hag.by moderately salt ing it. The proportions of sidt should bo the same as tor human food. Too little attention is usually given by farm ers to the stomachs of pigs. They are expected to eat anything and everything, or perhaps to live a long time on only one kind of food. This want of atten tion is the cause of frequent diseases among bigs, chief of which are diarrhea aud constipation. Regular feeding of salt in moderate quantity and of sul phur, with au occasional feeding of char coal (once a week), will serve to make a good appetite, promote digestion, and prevent disturbance of the bowels, which is more likely to occur without these precautions. The health and digestion of pigs""nld un doubtedly bo promoted if ir. access to prepared chalk or if a 6mai amount of magnesia was given them in their food. Pigs sillier much from indi gestion, caused by over-eating, and if they had the remedies accessible their instincts would teach them to make use of tlieiu and thv.s prevent the frequent result diarrhea. In summer-time, when pigs havo access to the ground, they cure tht mselves, or, in other words, prevent diseases of the stomach by eat ing grass, which is laxative, or earth, rotten wood or bits of charcoal, which seem to check this condition or to pre vent extremes. Tho best medicine for any animal is preventive, hence their food and surroundings should be such as to promote health. Tho opposite is too frequently the case, as they aro often kept in filth, and their food is prepared for them regardless of sanitary laws, their physical wants or natural instincts, This inconsistency is all the more remarkable when we consider that pigs are- always reared only for human food, and are the most liable of almost all aui mals to poshcbs parasites in their bodies, and are susceptible of a great variety of diseases, and among them those of a scrofulous nature, which may be trans mitted to the human family when the ork is eaten. I never eat random pork, as I am afraid of it. When carefully raised and properly fattened, however, pig meat is healthful food. The omni vorous nature of pigs makes tnem more dangerous for food than beef or mutton, as neat cattle or sheep will not naturally eat anything but grain or - vegetables, while pigs are kept sometimes on putrid food or the refuse of slaughter houses. Cattle may be taught to subsist on fish and bo made to consume bwiii, dui tne number of such animals which are turn ed into beef in this country is extremely limited, while 44 swill " hogs are mucn more plentiful. A butcher or any per- son who cuts up such annnais can reau- ily distinguish them, as the tiesii is sou and flabby. It should be made a mis demeanor to sell such meat, as it is not. healthful food. Pigs from the country are almost always fattened on gram, and the firmer the flesh the nearer it is to perfection and health. Correspondence Rural New Yorker. Household Hints. Rustv black Italian crape may be re stored by dipping in skimmed milk and water, with a bit of fine glue dissolved in it, and made scalding hot.

When the irons aro hot. rub them first with a wax rag, then scour with a paper or cloth sprinkled with salt.)

The oxalic acid must be handled carefully, as it is a deadly poison. They Lost Further Interest. There is a nice little game in vogue among the young folks in this vicinity known as the 44 Hutchinson family." The game consists in beguiling some unsuspecting person into a room into which the whole 44 family '-' is stationed tho members of which imitate in word and action everything done by the vic tim, and tle amount of amusement that can bo extracted from a ncrvou3 young man of bashful proclivities can easily bo imagined. At a sociable gathering held in this village a short time ago, a young newspaper man was introduced, into the room, and the 44 Hutchinson family " began its imitation to the in tense delight of everybody present except- the victim. It didn't take the young man a great while to appreciate tho situation, and then he calmly walked to the center of the room and stood on his head. The 44 Hutchinson family " at that moment was composed of two vounar ladies and a gentleman, and it is needless to remark that the lady members immediately lost all in terest in future proceedings. Independ ent Ri'puhlicnn. Recipe for Happiness. A silversmith's, wife once told Careme, the great cook, that her husband spent all his money in a restaurant. He ques tioned her and found that sho was an indifferent cook, but, worse than that, was in tho habit of giving her husband boiled food il(i5 days iu the year. Next day he visited the "house of the silver smith, ostensibly with tho purpose of having a cup repaired. Drawing a woodcock from ' a basket, the master showed the wife how to dress it, and tho silversmith, woman and Careme sat down to breakfast. For tho first timo happiness beamed on that household. Careme called frequently after this, always provided with some viand, which, like an unpolished stone, became as brilliant as a gem when touched by the hand of genius. Tho silversmith's wife was quick to appreciate the difference iu her husband's conduct. She became in time an efficient cook, and so regained her husband's affections. The wine shop, the second-class res taurant had no charms for him, for ho ato at home. Sitting Bull's Name. The manner iu which " Sitting Bull," the great chief of the hostile Sioux, camo by his name is thus described by a Western correspondent: Kitting Bull in his early youth was called Lame Deer. Ono day he went out unnoted among his brother buffalo-hunters and camo in at night carrying on his shoulders the carcass of a young buffalo w ith a mystic white cross on its forehead, shot by him and borne for so many weary miles that ho sank exhausted at the lodge gate in a sitting posture. Ho thus became Sitting Bull, for the carcass remained on his shoulder and seemed u part and parcel of himself. Tlie car cass of tho animal was left there, tin camp abandoned, and ever since 1 been avoided as cursed by the t.pi evil.
