ALLENTOWN, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH S 1871.
Charles the Twelfth of Sweden, surnamed,
on account of his warlike propensities, by his
admirers, the " Lion of the North," and by
his detractors, with equal justice, perhaps,the
"Madman of the North," accidentally en-
countered, at the Chateau Gortz, a young
creature from the banks of the Volgar—a
niece of Baron Gertz. So powerful was the
impression she at once made upon the hitherto
impregnable heart of the hero, so completely
was he spellbound in her charms, that he
seemed tolose all recollection of other matters,
even of the disastrous battle of Pultowa.
The name of this enchantress was the
Princess Ikia—for she was a Princess, her
mother the baron's sister, having married the dn,
Hetman of the Tartars. Being left an orph
at an early age, she had taken up the resi
dence with Baron Gertz at Stralsund.
The baron was a bit of historian—or thought
he was—and was then engaged in writing the
history of the king, who called upon him often
to revise and correct the work. Besides, the
baron was one of She crown councillors, and
was often entrusted with Important business
of the state.
M
Charles the Twelfth had that desire .which
seems inherent in the breast of greatness—he
wished to be loved for himself alone, witnout
any regard to his state and grandeur. Con
sequently he had himself presented to Ikla
under the simple title of Count D'Olfen and
In that name he paid his court to the erratic
princess ; for her Tartar blood made her die.
regard many of the conventionalities of life,
though her uncle often declared that she had
the blood of the Oortzes full In her veins, and
was no more a Tartar than be was—and there
was not much of the Kalmuch about him.
Baron Gortz was highly delighted at the
prospect of becoming the uncle of the king ;
but that delight was tempered by a whole
some dread of his prospectlVe nephew-In-law.
For, stripping off the dazzling veil of his mili
tary glory, he must acknowledge that the
" Lion of the North" was an unmitigated ty
rant,and ruled his subjects in a very arbitrary
manner

CATCHING A TARTAR
A TIIADITION OF SWEDEN
Baron De Goan had proof of thla one day
when he'recelved a letter from the king. It
co tajnol these words :
" Baron Gortz, information has reached me
that the Captain of Hubans, Gustavus Hein
old, who was condemned to death for neglect
of orders at the battle of Pultowa, but who
escaped before the execution of his sentence,
has been seen in Stralsund. Write instantly
to the governor ; tell him I hold him respon
sible for the apprehension of this traitor.
Within five minutes of hie being taken and
identified, let him be shot. And the person
in whose house he shall be forthwith shot."
This letter troubled the good old baron
sorely, for his niece had made him promise to
intercede for this identical young officer. He
broke into a cold perspiration when he reflect
ed that if he did so the probability was that he
should get himself shot , for his pains. Ile
wished fondly in his heart that the king and
Ilka were married, because then he should be
his uncle, and he could never think of shoot
ing one of the royal faMily.
He wrote the order to the governor, and
sent it by a servant, who informed him that
an officer of the police wished to speak to him.
Wondering at this. he hurried to the hall be
low. On his return, he found Ikla, a sylphin,
dark-haired, dark-eyed gipsy of a woman,
gazing listlessly from the large bay window
into the street below. She noticed that he was
in a state of perturbation.
•' What is the matter 1" she asked.
•' I want to put you on your guard," he
exclaimed, breathlessly. " The police have
sent to say they have reason to believe that a
young man is concealed somewhere in my
,chateau."
"I know it," answered Ikla, coolly. " I
concealed him."
" Yon 1". exclaimed the astonished baron.
" Who is he ?"
" Gustavus Reinold."
The baron uttered a dismal groan
" Iltia, you have murdered me I" he cried,
and sank freely into a chair.
" Not so bad as that, I hope," she replied,'
smilingly.
" I tell you that whoever harbors the traitor
is to be shot I" exclaimed the frightened baron
irately.
"You know that Gustavus Is no traitor."
"What signifies that? If the king orders
it, he must be shot—and so must II" And
the baron groaned again. " What made you
take so fatal an Interest in this wretched young
man ?"
" Ills misfortune," replied Ikla. "He is
innocent ; I know it, and my dear mother and
sister, knew It also. Forced by a cruel and
unjust sentence to fly from his country, ho
found refuge and safety in ours."
"Then why the dense did he leave it 1"
"To follow me when you Bent for me.
Finding the pursuit so hot, I thought the best
asylum for him was your chateau."
At this moment a servant entered the room,
and announced Count D'Olfen.
The baron's visage brightened with &hope
' ful idea.
" There Is but one chance for us all I" he
claimed ; " marry the count, and then—" He
checked himself abruptly.
"It it depends on that, our chance is small,"
she returned, roguelehly ; " but listen to me—
obey mo,and all will yet be well. I intend to
play a desperate game , but, if I win, I shall
save a life of far more value than my own."
She held a rapid conference with the baron ;
and though he listened to her at first with
astonishment and alarm, she finally won him
over to her purpose, and he promised to assist
though it was with fear and trembling. But
he had pretty well made up his mind by this
time that he should be shot any way, and he
thought it did not make much difference for
what.
De withdrew, and Charles the Twelfth, as
Count D'Olfen, entered the room. Ile wore
the uniform of his faeorte regiment ; a light
blue coat trimmed with gold, and high boots
of black leather, to which a formidable pair of
spurs was attached ; a three. cornered black
hat : a black stock ; buff gauntlets, and a heavy
sword. lie 'looked more like a warrior
equipped for the field, than a lover seeking
his lady's bower.
He felt like a timid school-boy in the pre
sence of this exquisite beauty, who had
stormed the outworks of his heart, and pene
trated to the very citadel. Would any one
believe that he was Charles the Twelfth ?
In her turn, Ikla also had her reflections.
" lie seeks a Tartar," she thought ; "he
shall find one."
"What, Count," she exclaimed, " in rest
mentals ? How devoted be must be to the
king !"
"Well, I am," he exclaimed ; "but I came
.
here as well as I can recollect, to tell you how
.levoted lam to you—only I confess myself
awkward in these matters. I never cared for
a woman till I saw you."
"Why, Con t. you must be the very coun
terpart of the ki ," cried Ikla, coquettishly.
"They say he ha e women."
"Re does no au thing," replied Charles,
quickly.
"How do yen kn

" How I" he said, an 1

know the worst tsat can happen to me. Do
you love me ?"
"Is that the worst that can happen to you?"
she asked, demuicly.
"Ikla, I generally get the best of it at
blows ; but I own you bent me on weeds. I
shall simply return to the charge. Do you
love me ?"
" I must have roof of your love before I
answer that."
" What proof?''
" Would you grant any little whim of
mine 4"
" Certainly I would."
" Don't make any rash promises."
" I swear it."
Ikla laughed gleefully, went into an adjoin
ing room, and brought forward an antique
costume, such as had been worn by the dames
of forty years ago.
"I have the greatest desire to see how yon
would look dressed as my grandmother,"
she cried.
The king was appalled.
"Death and the day—" he began
"O' fie I no swearing in a lady's presence!"
she said, checking him. "But I am glad I
have discovered what your love amounts tr.."
Re expostulated with her, and ended, as
common mortals do, in submitting to a wo
man's will.
She then dressed him in the heavy brocade
dress, and then tied the high, starched cap
tightly under his chin.
" Fough l" lie cried, In disgust, , "this dress
makes me smell like a musk-rat."
" You don't like perfume, then V
• " No—yes ; one—gunpowder l I'm like
Charles the Twelth, and there's no perfume
for him but gun powder."
"0, I wish I were his wife I" exclaimed
Ikla, fervently.
He regarded her in plCased surprise.
"What I are you in love with the king ?"
"0, dear ; no. Only one might ho inclined
to sacrifice one's self for the good of one's
country."
Charles smiled grimly.
"You are vastly condescending," he re
plied. "And pray, what else would you do
for the good of your country ?" •
" I would soften his character. I would
tame this lion ; and he should soon be as much
beloved as ho Is already admired and feared."
" And how is this to be accomplished ?"
inquired Charles.
"Sit down and let me tell you. There
now, you must fancy yourself Charles the
Twelfth."
" Well, I do," he answered, with a signi
&ant smile.
" Consider me the queen," she continued,
and drew her chair beside him.
" Go on," he cried, rather pleased with the
conceit.
"I should devote my life to obtaining and
securing his entire confidence."
" We will suppose you have it."
"Tien I should use it to make him submit,
on all fitting occasions; to my sovereign will.
I would teach him the true value of his noblest
prerogative."
" Which is—"
"Mercy."
"Come, come, Charles the Twelfth is severe,
I know, but he Isjust."
"Not olwayi. Witness the case of Captain
RCinold."
Charles started, and glanced at her saspi
ciously.
" What do you know of that culprit ?" he
cried:
"His sentence is unjust," she answered,
firmly, "and therefore a fit object for the in
terference of the queen. Now, if I were
queen, i would approach the king, as I do you,
with this paper in my hand." She walked up
to him with dignity. "I would say to him,
Sire, your honor and your glory both require
that you should put your name to this—sign."
He took the paper from her in surprise, and
looked at it.
" A. pardon for Captain fleinold," he ex•
claimed, and his brow darkened angrily.
"Indeed, then, my dear little friend, if I were
Charles the Twelfth, this would be my an
swer."
He tore up the paper.
Nothing disconcerted, she immediately
drew another paper from her pocket.
"Then," she said and knelt at his feet,
pleadingly, as she spoke, " King of Sweden,
your ves are blinded, not by justice, but by
anger. When Captain Reinold was entrusted
with that order he found the battle of Pultowa
Irretrievably lost; if he had delivered is he
would only have caused a massacre of the
SwediSh prisoners by the remorseless Russians.
For this reason alone he did not deliver it, and
thus incurred your majesty's displeasure."
"I desire to know the reason of the ex
traordinary interest you take in this young
man I" he asked.
" You shall know, Count," she answered,
"when you have promised to obtain .pardon
from the king."
"I will make no such promise," cried
Charles, sternly.
A timely knocking at the door disturbed
them. lkla would have opened it, bu

tremulous accents, declaring that the roya

but she only laughed at his predicament.

But she only laughed the louder.

regretted that he had nut spent as much time as
he might in examitti ig the Holsteins. Ile thought
that the cream of this stock not separating per
fectly from the milk would make It objectionable
for dairy purposes. The pasturage, too, was not
sufficient to sustain it ; the same being the case
with tile Jersey and Durhasn stock. Davis E.
limiter remarked that he was of the opinion that
Mr. Holmes hail done injustice both to himself
and the Club by not devoting more attention to
the Holstein. A report was read of a cow named
" Texelant," of .this stock, also of Individuals of
the Durham and Jersey breeds. An Inquiry was
then made as to the amount of food necessary for
these large entrants. Mr. Hohnes said a cow was
calculated to enltSlllllo about 3% per Cent. of her
live weight of hay or its equivalent. The Air.
shires tome about one-third less than the Hot
steins—r ic former averaging about 900 pounds
and the latter 1200. The President thought that

tory. Mr. Holmes said he was always disappointed
hi raising calves from graded bulls. He thought
the Devons and Durbains preferable for market
purposes. D. W. McNair coincided here, and
related his experience in selling calves from a
graded Devon bull, for which he received about
one cent per pound more. He also thought that
the Dothan's, Herons and common Natives were
good for dairy purposes. " Mr. Holmes thought
that the great trouble with farmers was in not
looking up the ancestry of the bulls. Most far
mers raise bull calves on account of their size and
beauty; entirely overlooking what the milking
qualities of the stock arc. Ile also said that In
five years' experience he had never raised a calf
from a grade biAl that proved satisfactory. Mr.
McNair differed here, and said lie had raised two
calves which turned out tolerably well. But Mr.
Holmes said that this did not disprove his asser
tion, as neither of them gave as much milk as
their dam. Mr. McNair did not approve of
large cattle, but thought the medium size s d y the
more profitable, taking into consideration the
amount of food consumed. It was resolved
that Mr. Holmes should look Into the Holstein
stock and add to his essay ; the entire subject to
conic up again for discussion at a future meeting.
Mr. Brower said hu was spending considerable
time In the preparation of his essay on the subject
of a co-operative cheese and butter factory, and it
any of the members could throw any light upon
the subject it would be thankfully received.
" flow can farmers hest secure crops of clover or
grass, at the same time 'dispensing with the wheat

Nearly all those present Join . ed in the debate, and
•utauy instructive Ideas were advanced. The sub
stance of a report by a gentleman nt the Newtown
meeting was !Flitted by Wm. M. Large. Mr. Mc-
Nair sold be had ntowel some timothy which had
been sown with clover, and it only ran about n ton

other gentleman thought that It would not always

Nair said that ihe heavy crop he had raised woo
tioWn in exceedingly dry' weather; but the oats
bad stood up the entire season, and probably that,
Might hove yielded some prote v tion to the clover.
Mr. Large said lie had sown a bushel of premium
timothy seed on wheat in the mouth of February,
but it failed to grow. Ile thought the plan pur
sued by agriculturalists around Norristown, of
cutting their corn and hauling it offand then plow
lug and planting with wheat or rye, might.be pmc-

best plan was to plow fled thoroughly pulverize
the soil, and then sow the timothy In the fall and

of nearly all present that clover bay was the beet

KEKPING ACCOUNTS.—The great MSS of
farmers of this country keep uo accounts at
—not even a memorandum book In which they
o does current expenses, etc. The Idea of
coping Imola,' has a terror 'about It, which
ers most people whose BUCCCSB In life does not
absolutely hang upon their keeping accurate ac
counts to have touch to do with them. The
amount of looney which passes through the bands
of a small firmer In any part of the country is so
small, that his recollections about moneytransac
tions Is ususlly accurate, and the real necessity
of spending the few minutes a day neccessary to
keep tolerably accurate accounts Is not apparent
to them, and will not be until proved.
It Is not our object now to enter In an argument
to couviqce any one of the desirableness of keep
ing accounts, but to show how It may be done con
veniently and easily. The writer has for some
time u.ed the following system for keeping his
family and farm accounts, which arc kept together
and It certainly Is simple, convenient, and appears
to be all that Is required.
The book Is ruled with double dollar-and-cent
colums. In one of these columns the expenses are
set down ;In the other the receipts. The book
need not be larger than a common school copm
blok, and three minutes n day will serve to make
all the entries. If the farmer Is cold, and his fin.
get, are AIR, his wife or one of his daughters will
gladly take the pen. Oftener than otherwise, we
think the wife, If not overburdened with the cares
of aousehold had children, would be the best one
to keep the accounts. In a great many cases,
dimes and half-dimes slip away for personal in
.'u'gences (glasses of something warm, or tobac.
c which, were It the good wife's daily ditty to
make the record, would nut be Event.
These accounts ought to be balanced its often as
are a mouth. It will be observed that this book
accurately kept, will only how the transaction,
a ready money, and hence should be called mei
teem/tits. We almost all have, of necessity,
soother class of accomas to keep. It Is not
always possible or hest to pay cash, and we make
telds and give credit all the time. The settle
ments :are often made In produce, labor, or some
ihims besides money, but there should be Just as
accurate a rem's(' of the I ram , attlons for all that.
With those persons with whom 11 running account
is kept, there should be an account opened in
another hook, and some pOges devoled'lo It. In
other cases, a simple memorandum of the trans.
attlon may he sufficient. It requires no know•l

Tim IRON TRADE IN ENGLAND.—Under
date of January 23 an American iron merchant
at London writes as follows to Mr. Henry Mc-
Allister, Jr., Secretary of the United States
Iron and Steel Association:
The Iron manufacture In England just now
Is not in a prosperous condition. Before the
breaking out of the war between France and
Germany business was brisk, and prices very
remunerative. In the early part of 1110 year
the prices of Scotch pig Iron reached 625. per
ton, at which price there was a large profit,
and the furnaces were all or nearly all kept
in blast. When the war broke out the price
fell to about 465. to 475. per ton, and although
It has since recovered to 515., trade is flat,
several furnaces have "blown out," and the
feeling is anything hut secure. At present a
very formidable strike among the Scotch pad
dlers is maturing, and, as both masters and
men are putting on a bold front, it really
looks as If something serious would grow nut
of It. The rail trade is rather sick. With the
Continental market partly cut off, and with a
semi-beligercnt feeling prevailing between
England and her best European customers,
Russia, this branch of business has rather an
unpleasant prospect In the near future. The
shipments to the United States continue very
large, however, and I do not really know what
would have become of English rail-makers
had it not been for the latter market. You
may depend upon It, however, that the margin
for profit upon orders now being received is
very small. The activity in the shipbuilding
trade of the Northeast coast causes a good de
mand for plate and angle iron in the north of
England, and the engine. builders of the yne
and Tees are fully employed for the same rea
sons. The prospects for a speedy termination
of the war on the Continent, and of a conse
quent rise in the price of Iron, is doing some
thing toward sustaining prices, by bringing
buyers tato the market. The steel manufac
ture of Sheffield is exceedingly prosperous.
The immense demand for steel goods, caused
by the war, has set all the works in that line
in full activity. The English Gdverninent,
too, is ordering a considerable number of steel
cannon and other implement's of warfare,
which adds to the prosperity of that branch of
business. There are large quantities or Bes
semer plates being turned out for this Gov
ernment, and steel rails for your people.

find an owner. There is, of course, consider
able scrambling for that large amount of pro•
petty. It Is presumed that he left no children.
There are a great many nephews and nieces
of the above named Issac Phillips In Easton,
Stoughton, the Bridgewaters,and in the region
round about these towns. The point now to
be proved is whether the Issue Phillips afore
said is the one that deposited that floury in
New York. If these heirs can prove that
he really was the man, then the money Is
theirs.
There ouzo lived In a small cottage, on a
cross-road leading from Dickerman's corner,
in this town, to North Bridgewater, an old
lady by the name of Susie Phillips. She ob
tained her livelihood by braiding straw and
fitting boots. She guarded her huckleberry
pasture with vigilance, and woo betide the
elii!dren that dared to fill their baskets from
its bushes. The old lady died five or six years
ago, at an advanced age, and at her request
the large family Bible containing the record
of the Phillips faintly, was placed under her
head and buried with her in the grave. It
was thought that this Bible would be of ser
vice In looking up the pedigree of the Phillips
family, and last week the grave vies opened
and the Bible taken from beneath theThead of
the deceased. It has not yet b.ien opened,
for after lying so long under ground it was iu
a very bad condition. When they shall be
enabled to examine it, some light may be
thrown upon the subject of the early history
of the family.—North Bridgewater (Mass.)

A CURL CUT OFF WITR AN AY.—"Do you
see this lock of hair ?" Bald an old man to me.
"Yes ; but what of it ? It Is, I suppose, the
curl from the head of a dear child long since
gone to God."
"It is not. It is a lock of my own hair,
and it Is now nearly seventy years since it was
cut off from this head."
"But why do you prizo a lock of your hair
so much ?"
"It has a story belonging to it and a strange
one. I keep it thus with care, because it
speaks to me more of God and of His special
care than anything else I possess.
. "I was a little child of four years old, with
long curly locks, which, in sun, or rain, or
wind, hung down my cheeks uncovered. One
day my father went into the woods to cut up
a log, and I went with him. • I was standing
a little way behind him, or rather at Ms side,
watching with Interest the strokes of the heavy
az, as it went up and came down upon the
wood, sending off splinters with every stroke
in all directions. Some of the splinters fell
at my feet, and I eagerly stooped to pick them
up. In doing an I stumbled foritard, and in
a moment my curly head lay upon the log. I
had fallen just the moment when the ax was
coming down with all its force. It was trio
late to stop the blow. Down came the ax. I
screamed, and my father fell to the ground in
terror. He could not stay the stroke ; and in
the blindness which the sudden horror caused
he thought he had killed his boy.
"We soon recovered ; I from my fright,
and he from his terror. Ile caught me in Ida
arms and looked at me from head to foot, to
find out the deadly wound which lie was sure
he had inflicted. Not a drop of blood nor a
scar could be seen. Ile knelt upon the grass
anti gave thanks to a gracious God. Having
done so, he took up his ax and found a few
hairs upon its edge. He turned to the log'he
had been splitting, and there was a. single
curl of his boy's hair, sharply eut through and
laid upon the wood. How great was the es
cape ! It was as if an angel bad turned aside
the edge at the moment when it was descend
ing on my head. With renewed thanks upon
his lips be took up the curl, and went home
with me in his arms.
"That lock ho kept all Ids days, as a memo
Hal of God's care and love. That lock he lel
to me on his death-bed."
"LET US HAVE PEACE."—A notable meet
ing took place at Ann Arbor, Michigan,a few
weeks ago, when for the first time Miss Anna
E. Dickinson and Miss Lilian 8. Edgerton
laid eyes upon each other. They were coun•
terparts long sundered, the former being, as
all the world knows, a pretty, petulant, fiery
little brunette, and the latter an imperial
blonde, a massive Alruna maiden who might
have sung to the " wolves of the Goths" in
search of Asgard. Miss Dickinson Is an un•
flinching advocate of woman's right to vote,
but Miss Edgerton thinks women should not
be enfranchised. For a Jong time they had
vainly yearned for each other, but at last they
met at a hotel in Ann Arbor, and each ex•
claiming "'tie she," they rushed like torrents
Into each other's arms, and the small brunet' ,
nestled within them, purring like a littls
brown kitten. Henceforth they would be as
listen', and the last that wa3 seen .01
them was a tableau of the brunette sit
ting on the blonde's knee while both sipped
from the same tumbler a liquid which the In.
geuicus hotel•clerk called a hot lemonade
'I with a fringe."

DEATH OF TILE HEAVIEST MAN IN PENN
SYLVANIA.—The Pottsville Journal says.—
The death of Mr. John Boussutn, of Schuyl
kill Haven which occurred recently, has
been the all•absorffing topic in this communl
ty ever since its occurrence. John Bovsum
was born In itTanheim township In 1819. In
the year 1849 he entered the service of the
Schuylkill Navigation Company, and it is re.
ported of him that shortly after
. so doing he
met with an accident by the blast of a rock,
which raised hint in the air some distance, and
Injured him considerably in his descent.
Shortly after recovering from this shock he
commenced gaining flesh, and notwithstand
ing his frame was only of medium stature—
about flee feet ten inches—he Boon pulled
down 494 pounds on the scales with perfect
ease, and has for many years been considered
the heaviest man in Pennsylvania.
Ho has perfornied the duties of lock-tender
at Schuylkill Haven for these many years,
and was active and as supple as the majority
of those who carried less than half his own
weight of flesh, and bas usually enjoyed ex
cellent health. He has slept nightly in his
watch•box at the canal lock, where he closed
his eyes in his last long Bleep ; and, that, too,
at his post of duty, where he was ever found
in life. After his death it was found Impose!.
ble to remove him from the watch-box without
enlarging the door, and this was done. by
tearing out nearly the whole end of the build
ing, when he was romoved In the collector's
office, near by, where his remains were viewed
by thousands of people from different sections
of the country. The coffin in which he was
placed wits made of very heavy plank, and
securely fastened together with iron bands
and braces to prevent the possibility of an ac
cident w lair: moving the corpse. Its measure,
inside, was two feet nine incites wide across
the Imin,t, eight feet three inches around,and
five feet eleven incites in length, being large
enough to hold fonr ordinary sized men, with
room enough for a half a dozen small boys.
Deceased. nt the time of his death weighed
four hundred and sixiy pounds, and knew that
no lieaNe could he Immd large enough to ad
mit his corpse, and previous to his death he
requested that his ',mains should be taken to
the comet:try in a truck wagon, drawn by four
white mules, which request was complied
with. HAht pall-hearers found it very heavy
work in. Ili
nini...ng the corpse.
IRON SM ELT ING AT OMAIIA.—Iron Ore,
taken from the Black Hills, near the highest
level of the Union Pacific Railroad, has been
smelted at Omaha, and found of excellent
quality, yielding eighty per cent. of superior
metal. Three hills or the Ore lie near the
Railroad ; and, as the material is at once r )st
accessible and practically inexhaustible, he
Union Pacifle propose to use it in their stmilt
ing and casting shops, whose foreman (a Mr.
Fawcett) is said to have invented a new smelt
ing furnace, which dispenses with the fun or
blower, and is thus described : "The new
furnace is about 21 feet high and 5 feet in
circumference, tapering towards the top.
About half way up is a circular steam supply
pipe, that introduces into the interior of the
flue about a dozen jets of steam. This steam
creates a vacuum that draws the blast through
the live coal below with tremendous velocity,
securing by such simple means the intense
heat necessary for smelting the metal. The
new furnace has been running now about two
weeks, and is so great a success that several
more are to be constructed, and the old fur
naces entirely abandoned. This new process
will reduce the cost of the smelting process
to such an extent that an effort will be made
to utilize the invention by smelting the ore
of the Black hills on the spot. NVith iron
ore, coal and wood in abundance, and a
largely decreased cost of maintaining the fur
naces, there is no earthly xenon why the pig
iron of the Wick Rills cannot be nunte to
compete with the iron made at the smelting
furnaces in Missouri."
A. SENsint.e. Bus NoTtos.—"Bollln's
Bower" is the title of a new Boston "notion,"
it being no more nor less than a home for
girls, working women and others who have
no home and are not able to buy one. Miss
Jennie Collins was a working woman, who
had thoughts of pity and compassion on the
class to which she belonged. She saw the
young men coddled and nursed and provided
for by the Christian Ass tciution9 and kindred
institutions, while nothing was left for the
enterminnumt of the shop.girl who was dis
posed to be \ irtinins lint the pleasures of her
solitary rmitn in-the boarding-house. So she
begged money enough to hire and open a hall
on Wii'shington street, to which she. invites
all who are disposed to spend an evening there,
and especially the women and girls who wish
for some innocent place of entertainment with
' out cost. She provides some amusement for
every evening, either a concert, or a lecture,
or dramatic readings. Ber hall is supplied
with papers, mazazines and books, and Is
made as comfortable and attractive as her
means will allow. She is always ready to
give advice and assistance when it lice in her
power to the girls that come to her, exerts her
self in every possible way to ameliorate the
condition of the working women.
LosoyELLow's EvAsontd::E.llawthorna
dined one day with Longfellow, and brought
with him a friend front Salem. After dinner
friend said, `• I have been trying to per
suade Him thorny to write a story, based upon
a legend of Ardis, and still current there;_
the legend of a girl who, In the dispersi. , l of
the Acadian s, was separated front her I vet.,
and passed her life in waiting and seekin for
him, and only found him dying in a hospital,
when both were old." Longfellow wondered
that this legend did not strike the fancy of
Hawthorne, and said to hint, "If you have
really Made up your mind not to use it for a
story, will you give it to me for a poem?" To
this Hawthorne assented, and, moreover,
promised tint to treat the subject in prose till
Longft how had seen what he could do with
it in verse. And so we have '"Evangeline"
in beautiful hexameters—a poem that will
hold its place in literature while true affection
lasts. Hawthortio rejoiced in the great suc
cess of Longfellow, and loved to count up the
edith ma, both foreign and American, of this
now world-renowned poem.—Allastie.
SOMETHING TO us: THANKFCI.
story of the courtship of John Brown, of 'lad
(Bugler', has been at last put Into a book—but
in my young days I heard it in the Lowlands
of Scotland, and it Is believed to be entirely
true. This John Brown was the author of
the " Marrow of Divinity," and other theo•
logical books, which are held in high esteem
by the Scottish people. He courted .a lady
upwards of six years. lie was so singularly
mtest :nut bashful that he had never ven
tured to kiss her: One day it occurred to him
that it would not lie a very bad thing to do.
So. it Is recorded, he said, " Janet, ma women,
we've been acquainted now for six years, an'
—an' I've never got a kiss yet. D'ye think /
may take one, my bonnie lass?" The reply
tens wonderfully tillaracteristic of the Scottish
maiden. " Jist as ye like, John," said she,
"only be bscontiti and proper wi' U. "Surely,
.host,'' said John, " we'll ask a bleardn':"
file blessing was asked, and the kiss ex
changed. "O, woman," said the enraptured
but still devout minister, " 0, woman, but It's
gude ; we'll noo return thanks." And they
did.
