TEE DESERTED HOMESTEAD.
The gardes gate, with rosty binge,
ticiuss creaking in the idle wind ;
And weeds choke up the graveled walk
That erst with pick and box wars lined ;
Acd thistles flourish everywhere,
Aad triors thrive where rout blew,
o-i opiate poppies make Ihe air
Feem drowsy where the lillies grew.
The porch where loving hands had trained
Tha prairie buch. whose blessomi red
Frelgh'ed the air wtth pleasant scents.
Is tiLen, and the bnsh iiiiuil ;
WiJo jid the window and ths doors,
Ths chimney totters on the roof,
1 be moss and ivy softly now
Weave over alt a wxrp and woof.
I jiouihel the fruitful trees decay,
I'ncared for dies the climb eg vine
Xo b.-md to plack the mellow fruit.
No band to press tbe porple wine.
.Ai.d where the household inmates came
To quaff the water clear and cool,
Naught pow remains of bubbling springs
trave slimy stones and braekuh pool.
Here, undisturbed, the swallows come,
And robins, witd their ruddy breasts ;
And here the dronin; was? and be
With cunning skill contrive'their tests.
Ihe spider trails its fragile web
Athwart the beavy oaken buxi ;
And constantly the death watch ticks
Within tbe wainscot's rusty se.ims.
izi tho.-e whose voices echoed here.
Whose feet had pressed the garden walk
Wbe shall of tneir long absence tell ?
Or wbo their wanderings csn mark ?
Their voices may be buched for aye,
And fee: tb: respite never kue
From wesry waiks in life's lorg day,
May have heaven's gates f a-sei through.
THE EEBEL OF OUS HOUSEHOLD.
"y fatl-tr was au old c-oun'ry P.e.-hyte-i!in.
He was a pattern of strictness in Lis
vilsicus observances, and an hnnett in a a in
1 is iealins with everybody. Mother La 1 j

ered cuielves in severe hands; fir. while
fmher desired the luliest compliance; with
J.is demands, he exhibited hut little leniency
Ii.t our faults. Jact and I ntver cn.eJ
Lin:, hut Tom was the rebel of our ha.-e-
LoM. In infancy he foabt sjrain.-t father's ;
auiburity ; and when boyhood's years were j
tiivo r.iai, be orx-niy ueacd what before he
Lai fmly tried to evade.
I thai) never foreet oiie scene. Tom had
tc'urned liome al-out eipht o'clock one
t vening, after liaviu t articipated i:i a boat
riicv a forbidden pas.l:tue:Lecau;c it naror

"Cotjgratulate ine, Molly," he exclaimed,

'G . id ! Tom, I'm dr'ighted to hear it !"
s'v i:reJ .' in full sympathy with the boy.
"GI-d to hear of a brother's disobedient,
art- yea?"' skid the !em voice of my father,
a- he srpried from tl.e parlor into the hall.
Take shame to yourself, you hus.y 1 Go

t 2T e.-racc he can tri3c with me uo Ln-
There was something so terrible in fath
er's t ne that I fed precipitately to my
r.i'vj, c!i.-ed the door, and Ksteued. I heard
.'onieihiiitr l.ke a tliuit wrufile, then the
wi.irds run hih for a moment or two, then
the ha'.l d'Kir cload witL a Lang, and Tom
lame up ttaiis whistling. I knew that
Li?-tliric was I.suuJd to conceal pa?ion,
fO I lt Lit.i pass on In his room aud waited
a while h fore gt ir.jc to h:m.
"Come in, Molly!" L? shonted eheerfal-i;-',
in response to my knock. I found that
l.e had charged his boating suit for his
t-very day clothes, and was busily engaged
in packing a su:ail valL.
"Why, Tom! what are yen doins?"
shouted I. ad an ida of his purpose flashed
ever iu.
"Gvttinrr ready to obey father in earnest
this t':x. Molly. lie and I have had our
l.i -t ;ua::l; he desires tievrr to ee me nor
tj lier from me aeain. We had bard
w-jr'!s. my '...tc.-, and that waa not all. Do
"i vciliai ted tr.it k of an open palm on
If check
' Irs. indeed I d.t." said I, half sorrow
ful!, ha'f ind'.nantly ; "l"t father was
.:i!ut in a Trhite anter, Tom, and you
kti.iw you have dtso'yed him so often."
"I wL.H't detiy that my little girL I
shall strike oat for myself You may hear
frjtii me ugaia, aad you may not drsr
aiioiia.
"Bat, Tom," sail I frantically, "father
may Lave been enly half in earnest. lie
rcpenu !rr.eliiae when you do not. What

aad I could "
"I inticipated all you would ay. Molly.
You are a dear f weet sister, and Jack is a
t- a.I brother ; tut I am in one of my head
strong moods, and eTen you could not iu
f-aenee me now ; so good bye, Mollie. Mind
Hamlet f;s me, and take gcxd care of ,M
Jack!"
"It is three years to-night since Tom ran
away," said I to Jack, as we sat one sum
liitr evening in the twi.it"t-
"Yes, Molly, three years to-night; and
in all this time I have uot heard father ask
a solitary word about him. I'm afraid he
banished him from hi heart when he took
him so quickly at his word, poor 'jIIow !"
"Aud he has never yet sent us even 3
line to tell us of his whereabouts or his wel
fare. I think he went to the wtr, Jack,
and perhaps ere this he is with his country's
d-ad."
"No. no, Molly ; I cannot think so. I
feel that he will turn up some day. I wish
1 had been at home the night he went off.
1 should have tried hard to keep Lim. But
when you failed what would bat e been my
chances?
"Poor little heart, how you must miss
him ! I miss him as much as you, Molly ;
but I'm a sober man, wanting a year or two
of thirty ; you two were always the 'yung
sterV you know. And here is another that
misses him almost as much as we ; don't
you Hamlet, old fellow?"
Hamlet got up, walking over to Jack,
with that lounging gait peculiar to a New
foundland, placed his paws on Jack's knee.
Jack only said, "He knows, Molly ; he
knows," an 1 put an arm about Hamlet's
neck. I noticed him pull his hat a little
over his eyes with tbe disengaged hand ;
then he leant forward, and in a second or
two his head tell on that of the faithful dog.
I stole away from them.
I took a look into Tom's room that night
before I went to my own. Everything was
there the same as when he left it ; for I
made it my duty to keep it iu order, hoping
that some day my boy would return and be
in favor again. And the room told the
boy : books there were few, but there was a
gun and its accompaniments that would
have ken the pride of any sportsmau; then
there were fishing rods, fencing foils, box
ing gloves, a pet pair of ".poon" oars, the
backboard of his boat with my name on it,
and fifty aud one articles that betiayed the
tastes of its occupant. AH these I kept iu
order, and a loving tak it was ; but it seem
ed as though my labors were never to be
lewarded by the presence of the one I la
bored for.
Tom had been on my mind more than
ever that day, and when I retired for the
niitht my brain was too excited to allow me
to fall ioto immediate slumber. The moon
coquetted s with the ekmds that my room
was now light, njvvdark ; and so was my
rj, alternate wakefaltiess and slumber.
At onetime I had serious thoughts of pro
curing a light by which to read myself to
.-leop a favorite p'.an of mine but irave
up the idea determined to conquer a sleep.
It LiUst Lave Leeu near mijiiigl.t when,
as 1 was iu a sort of a transient stats, hall
asleep, half awake, I heard a faint whis
tle. My m':nd dwelt upon it but an instant;
but my a.tetition va thoroughly a reused
in another moment, for the whUtle was re
peatc in a louder to:ie. "Purely I should
know that call," said I mentally, as I arose
and hurried to my window. The moon was
half in cloud, but it was clear euough for me
to distinguish the figure of a man standing
in the shadow of the trea in front of the
garden gate. The figure moved out of the
shadow as I raised my window sah and
whi.t!ed the call again very low. It was
my brother Tom's signal !
"Is that you, Molly?" came floating to
me in a voice of the wanderer.
"Yes, Tom, doar; is that you?" respon
ded I, commanding my nervousness as well
as I could.
"YTeo ; come down quickly, and come
alone."
You can imagine reader, what feelings
were mine, as with some slight wrappings
about me, I stole cautiously to the door,
out into the garden, and through the gate to
my brother Tom.
He had his arms about me before I could
fjwak.
"Why, you're nervous little woman
you're all of a tremble," he exclaimed, af
ter kissing me heartily. "Command your
self, Molly. I am not a bit excited, you
see, although I have been an absentee for
three years, and can stay here tut a mo
ment as it is."
"Oh, Toui !"' I could utter no more.
"There, I sdiould not have said that. It
is the fact though, and I just ran on to see
you, and you only. And I know you are
wocdering why I have not come to stay ;
and I know you have been wondering about
me. and have wished many and many a
lime for my return both you and dear old
Jack."
"You could not hav read our hearts
better," said I sobbing.
"Ah, yes ; you are both true blue and
always were, and always will be. You are
in tears, Molly. Don't cry, dear. I half
wih I had not come to disturb you so rude
ly. I am very rude, I know, and haven't a
bit of sentiment in me. But I wanted to
see you so badly. Father said he never
wanted to see or hear from me again
that's why I'm here in the night, and why I
never wrote. I knew it would be all the
tame some day. Had I been in any danger
you would have heard from me. And now
let me a-k if all has gone well with you since
you kissed me good bye?"
"All has gone well, Tom."
"And bow is Jack?"
"Well, and he speaks about yon every
day."
"That's like him. And how about the
old man a father? lias he ever ever
aked for me, Molly ?"
It was hard to tell the truth, but I tho't
it ben to not deceive him.
"Ah, well," said he, when I had told
him, "perhaps I was a bad boy; but, one
thing certain, it was for the best; and, at
any rate I hold no harsh feelings against
father. I have done well, Molly, well be
yond all expectation. I have a little pack
age unc iui juu, ana in u you will find a
note that will tell a great deal about what I
hav been doing. I should say the package
is for Jack as well as yourself ; he aud yon
may do with it as you think beL I should
like to sc old Jack. I know he'll be vexed
when he learns that I have been here, and
refused to havo him aroused. B it it might
; rais the house, and the dear fellow would
only wate endeavors in trying to detain me.
I have f omething to live for . now, and I
must return to where I belong. Why, m I
live, here comes Hamlet !"
The dog bad been aroused from sleep in
his kennej by the sound of our voices, and
now with a low growl came bounding down
the walk. My voice stilled him when he
reached us, and then Tom spoke to him.
Hamlet knew him instantly, and with barks
of delight jumped upon him. Tom clasped
an arm about him, patted lava, coaxed him,
and let bim lick his face, but all wou d not
quiet him. When he put him from bim to
kiss me good bye, the overjoyed animal
danced about as in a perfect ecstacy.
"There Molly, I must clear. Hamlet will
have the whole neighborhood up, if I stay
longer. My train will be along in half an
hour. You will hear from me by and by.
Give my love to Jack. I think of him al
ways, and I have you in my heart of hearts.
Bye bye! Come, Hamlet."
He and the dog dashed away, and left
me leaning on the garden gate gazing after
them.
I succeeded in reaching my room without
any one having been disturbed. Although
the scene I had passed through was just the
one to make a nervous woman wakeful, I
fell asleep soon after my head touched, the
pillow. The wonderful occurrence had put
me in a state of rontal excitement most
certainly, but all this had been more than
balanced by the lifting of the weight of fret
ting that had been on me so long. I felt
that ail was well rith my brother Tom.
My first thoughts in the morning were of
what had happened during the night. It
was hard to believe that ic was aught but a
dream, until the sig.-t cf the small paper
package on my toilet table made my recol
lections most vivid.
Jack opened the package after I had told
the story to his doubting ears.
"3Iolly, I would q ii nation your word," be
said, "but if thiseviuet.ee of that midnight
scene were not iu my hand, I xhould be in
clined to think that your little head had
been turned by a dream. What innumera
ble wrappers there are her ! Ah, here is a
note, and what 1 an order on a Boston
bank for five thousand dollars ! Bles my
body! Let me read. Why, the lucky fel
low went off to the oil rc-tious, Lirel him
self as clerk to au Euglifth gentleman spec
ulator, stuck to business, got au interest
with his employer, and now has married
his employer's daughter ! Well, who would j
.have thought it?" fr'ays he has taken the!
tide at the flood, and that it is leading bim j
on to fortune. Wants to know if father I
has been able to pay o!T the morts.ige on !
this house yet ; if not, this money must be
used for the purpo-c If it has been paid
ofT dear knows it has not ! then the five
thousand is to be invested, you and I to di
vide the interest between us, the principal
to be uiiJe use of in case of a n emergency.
Well, Molly, that money could not have
come in a better time, aud I admire Tom's
cleverness in giving it, I thank God that
Tom has prospered."
And I, too, thank God for his jroodness
to Tom. And when father, a year after
ward was told that Jack, with Tom's mon
ey, had paid oft the mortgage, I knew that
in his heart be was thankful enough, al
though he gave no sign.
It is nearly four years since that meeting
in the uight. Father has gone to meet the
beloved partner of his early years in the
"laud of the leal." He passed to a well
earned rest, leaving a kind message for
Toui. Jack and I are under the tender
mercies of the housekeeper that has been
with us since wc were children, I have
promised to bestow myself on a good soul
that ha.i waited for me ever so long. Jack
is a foresworn batchelor, and says he will
stay in the old house, and live with Tom
and his wife ; for Tom says in his last letter
that he will come back shortly and settle
down at home ; and he adds that since I am
going away, Jack must stay.
Of course Tom is lost to me, but his
wife's care is better than mine, and my own
care must soon devolve upon another. Jack
says if I am mean enough to leave him I
can go, for all he cares but he cannot help
smiling when he says it.
"The voice of woman, gentlemen," said
a romantic individual in a late argument in
a Leer saloon, "the voice of woman no
matter how much some of you may sneer at
the sentiment, exercises a soothing, an in
spiring, a hallowing influence upon the ear
of man ; comforts him in affliction, banishes
from his mind all those troubles which,
when she is absent, conspire to link him
into the depths of despondency and "
"Tom, you rascal!" exclaimed his wife, at
this moment showing herself at the door,
"come home, you loitering scamp, and leave
these worthless fellows to themselves. Oh!
when I get you Lome, won't you catch it?
that you will!" Here Tom left the room,
abruptly, with his enraged spouse, evidently
satisfied of the inspiting influence of the
"voice of woman."

writer says : "Albany is a city of ten thou

Neuralgia.
The certain cure of neuralgia is fotind in
judicious eating and exercise ; aad not only
so, a permanent cure cannot be effected in
any other way, while these are always effi
cient. In neuralgia the blood is always too
thick, impure, and in excess; and as diet
and exercise combine to remedy these con
ditions, some rules in relation to them are
desirable. These will be adapted to seden
tary persons, who live indoor generally, as
women, students, book keepers and the like.
It is rather better to eat thrice a day,
morning, noon aud night; that is, as soon
after sutrtse as practicable for breakfast ;
dinner about 1 o'clock ; supper before sun
down. Kat nothing whatever between meals
Breakfast, a single cup of coffee or tea.
some cold bread or butter, with a dish of
berries or stewed fruit in summer time, and
nothing else; in winter, meat, fisn or poul
try, or, in their stead, a couple of soft boiled
the same as breakfast, adding on
ly vegetables and some fruit, raw or stewed,
as dessert, and nothing else. A different
kind of vegetable may be taken every other
day for variety ; the kind of meat may be
changed at each meal.
Supper should be made of cold bread and
butter, and a cup of warm drink of some
kind, arid nothing else.
Tbe object in the sreciScation above made
is to discourage variety at meals, because it
istbis which tempts ail to eat too much.
Persons at times have felt at the table that
they had eaten enough, but on seeing a very
inviting dish unexpectedly brought in, a
good meal has been eaten of this last variety.
The general and hurtful error is that too
great a variety is spread on our tables, not
only occasioning trouble of preparation and
great loss, but also a positive injury in the
temptation of the appetite. The reader
may try it upon himself on any two days. A
dinner of one kind of vegetables, one kind
of meat and bread ; at dinner the next day,
let a great variety be presented ; he will eat
double the amount at this repast, with this
remarkable difference ; an hour after the
first meal, he will be entirely comfortable,
will feel as if he had eaten quite enough ; an
hour after the latter, thore will Le a decided
discomfort, a fulness, a feeling as if some
kind of relief were desirab'e, aud in too
many cases a resort to the decanter, with the
vin hope of a riddance in some way. It
cannot be denied that the first steps toward
intemperate habits Lave been taken in using
liquors to remove the unpleasant consequen
cesof pver-eating. A very ereat aid toward
overcoming a habit of too hearty eating will
be found in sitting dawn to a table with only
three varieties of food.
A Cape May Incident.
Not many days ago there was a rather
"loud" woman down here, says the Cape
May Wnce, rich and vulgar, swooping
around with her daughter and putting on
more airs than yoa could grind out of a hand
organ ! One man, who was disgusted at
the aristocratic pretensions of the couple,
thought he would have a little fun at their
expense. So one dav he pointed out a good
looking fellow who was passing tbe hotel,
and mentioned to the woman, in a sort of
careless, off-hand way, that the good looking
fellow was a lord, who had just arrived in
the country, and was stopping for awhile at
Cape May. This woman, you understand,
wanted an introduction, so that she could
set her daughter at work to rope in this
scion of a noble house. The stranger was
presented the next evening in the parlor,
and this desijnine being of a mamma began
toguh right over him. She kept on exclaim
ing how much she bad always admired the
English nobility, and how much she longed
to see them in their own beautiful homes ;
and theo she asked this man if he did not
sometimes long for hi island home, aad
hate the society of the vulgar Americans,
and sigh for his high born companions! At
last the man turned around and said she
must have made a mistake ; he didn't care
a red cent for aristocracy ; he had no island
home, for he came from Germany ; and he
had no high born companions, unless some
of his friends were born in a" garret So
this woman rose right up and pranced out
to the fellow who introduced her to the aris
tocrat, and she says:
"See here I I thought you said that man
was a lord?"
"So he is, ' was the reply; "he is the
fVincMord of the Dutch hotel round the cor
ner there. Nice man, isn't he !"
Perhaps that woman won't souse that
man under, and hold him there, the next
time she catches him bathing iu the surf.
It wouldn't surprise us to learn at any time
that he had been jammed full of red-hot
hair pins by a savage female, who crowned
her work by executing a Kickapoo "Tvar
dance on hit inanimate remains.
- "Mother.wherebtheman going to sleep?"
asked a girl of fifteen of her mother, who
had just offered a traveler a night's rest in
their out of the way hut. "I'll have to put
him in with yoa and Jack and Kate and Sue
and Mary, I suppose, and if it's too crowd
ed one of von must turn in with me snd dad
and Dick and Joe and J onothan and the
twins.
"Ah, my dear fellow," said an old man
once to a friend, "I am quite weak and
broken down with age. I used to walk
entirely around the park every day; but
now I can only walk half way round and
back again."
"We all owe something to our country,"
said the Britlon wbo went abroad without
, having paid his income-tax.
Rapidity of Thonffht in Dreaming.
A very remarkable circumstance; and an
important point of analogy is, says Dr. Faibes
Winflow, to be found in the extreme rapid
ity with which the mental operations are
perlormed.or rather with which the material
changes on which his ideas depend, are ex
cited in the hemispherical ganglia. It would
appear as if a whole series of acts, thai
would really occupy a long lapse of time,
pass ideally through the mind in one in
stant. We have in dreams no perception of
the lapse of time a strange property of
mind ; for if such be also its property when
entered into the eternal disembodied state,
time will appear to us eternity. The rela
tions of space as well as of time are also an
nihilated, so that while almost an eternity
is compressed into a moment, infinite space
is traversed more swiftly than by real tho't.
There are numerous illustrations of this j
principle on record. A gentleman dreamed
that he had etilbted as a soldier, joined Lis
regiment, deserted, was apprehended, car
ried back, tried, eondemrred to be shot, and
at last led out for execution. After the
usual preparations, a gun was fired ; he a
woke with the report,and found that a noife
in the adjoiniug room bad, at the same mo
ment, produced the dream and awakened
him. A friend of Dr. Abercrombie dream
ed that he crossed the Atlantic and spent a
fortnight in America. In embarking on his
return, he fell into the sea, and, awakening,
found that he had uot been asleep more
than ten minutes.
Animal Instinct. The instinct of ani
mals is sometimes really surprising. There
was once in possession of a farmer in Clon
mal a goose that, by accident was left with
out mate or offspring, male or female. Now
it chanced that the good wife had a number
of ducks' eggs under a hen, which in time
were incubated, and of course the ducklings
took to water, seeing which, the motherly
old hen was in a sad pucker her maternity
urging her to follow the brood, and her sel
fishness to remain on dry land. In the
meantime, up sailed the goose with clack
and clatter; wLich interpreted, meant, "Let
me take care of them. " She swam up and
down with the youngsters, and when they
wesried of their acquatic excursions recom
mitted them to the guardianship of the
hen. In the morning, down came the
ducks, there was the goose, and the hen
was in great frustration7Oa this occasion
we don't know if the goose invited the hen
to a friendly sail, but it is a fact, being near
the shore the hen jumped upon her back,
and in company up and down conveying the
feathered flotilla. Day after day the hen. on
board the goaso. might be seen ia perfect
content and ood humor. Numbers of
people cane to witness this extraordinary
occurrence, which happened day after day
until the juvenile excursiouiats arrived at
age of discretion, and, fully posted in mar
intine matters, no longer needed the services
of "goose, and her pilots, instructors," etc.
A Laughable Incident. A few days
sinee a colored lad entered a drug store in
Portland with what he described as an "aw
ful feeling in de stomach, just -like it wor
full offish hooks and angle worms," and
demanded a "Setter powder," as he had
been advised that it would give relief. Ac
cordingly the Seidiitz powders were dissolv
ed in separate glasses, as usual, and placed
before him, with instructions to poor one
into the other and drink while effervescing.
But the sable youth did nothing of the sort.
Instead ot following the directions, he
hastily drank off the content of one glass
and immediately swallowed the other. The
effect may be imagined, but not described.
The effervescence which should have taken
place in the glass before it was drank, took
place in the bewildered darkey's stomach,
sending forth streams of the frothy liquid
from his mouth, nose, eyes and ears. As
soon as the poor fellow could recover breath
he cried out in frightened tones : "My
stomach has bursted ; I can't live a minute!"
In a few moments, however, he felt better,
and turning to depart, he said : "Dat stuff
may work well nuf on de white trash, but
its sure death on a nigger.!'
Word was sent to the City Marshal of
Augusta, Me., that a fellow was selling
locks" from a wagon in Market Square.
He went to arrest him and confiscate his
stock, and found himself the victim of an
atrocious pun. The man was peddling
horsewhips.
A countryman in a Detrcit factory bet the
engineer a dollar that he could seize the fly
wheel and hold it. He seized it, and was
picked up on a pile of bricks outside the
building, with a window sash for a neck-tie.
"How is your husband, my dear?" asked
one lady of another. "Oh, he's in a very
bad state," was the reply. "And pray what
kind of a state is he in?" persisted the oth
er. "In state prison."

H. T, Belbbold, Druggist:
Dear Sir : I nave been a suffarer, for apward
of twenty years, with gravel, bladder aed kidney
affections, daring which time I bav aaad warioaa
medici nsl preparations, and been ander th treat
ment f th most minnt Physician, xprien
cing bat llttl relief
Having seen your preparations extensively ad
vertised, I onsolted with my family physician ia
regard to asing yurxtrftt Buchu.
I did this because I had ased all kind of ad
vertised remedies, and bad found them worthless,
and some quite injurious; in fact, I despaired ef
ever getting well, and determined to as. n. rem
edies hereafter unless I knew of the logredi.ata.
It was this that prompted m. to use your remedy.
Aeyoa advertised that ('.was composed of bach a,
rnbebs and juniper berries, it oecnrred to tn aad
my physician as an excellent combination, and,
aith his advice, after an exsmination of th arti
cle, and eonsnlticg again with th drsggist, I
concluded to try it. I commenced it as a boat
eight months ago, at which lim I was confined
to my room From th. first bottle I was astonish
ed aad gratified at tbe beneficial effect and after
naing it three weeks was able to walkout. I fait
much like writing yoa e full statement of asyease
at that time, bat thought my improvement might
only be 'temporary, aad therefore concluded to
defer and eee if it would effect a perfect ear.,
knowing than it would b.of greatervalu to yoa,
and more satisfactory to me.
I am cow able to report that a car ia effected
after nsing to remedy for five moaths.
I hava not used any now for three months, aad
feel as wall ia all respects as I ever did.
Tear Buchu being devoid ot any enplaasant
taste and odor, a nice tenia and in vigorator ef the
system, I do not mean to be withoat it whenever
occasion may require iu as ia each affections.
