Where gathers the church militant
Her healthy warrior souls.

Ere the tocsins all are don-1

From the organ barrels down,
Then I listened to tbe sermon
It was rather a strer gthy pnll
And I locked around for Pica,
Kut the church was very full.
'At fire o'clock in the morning,"

The music hadn't agreed with me,
Or something the preacher said
Or it might bavo been the turkey.
For my free was tursey red
I met old Pica on the stairs,
Just working up to bed.

"'Why don't you tver ckan your boots
before you emne into the house ?" saiJ El
len Jayncs to her husV-nJ. "I i:A ju.-.t
tiieely airariJ the room, ami scttlo l uow;i

is all to do over airam. .Inst l ick at the
tlirt from one enj of the room to the eth
er, and, I suppose, it is the fame thing in
the hall. Doj;-! dear! I am so discouraged
and tired out with brushing !"
- "And so am I diieouvaf-d and tired out
with such a continual fret fn:tt:n3 every
t-tue I cotne inro th-f house. J ui't you
ever fret tired of .scolding?" was the piovo
kin? response of the gentleuian.
' I do pet tired of speaking to you aiiout
things which make me sueh a deal of trou
ble ; and yet you never scent to mind them
at all."
"Speaking in the manner yru do irill
not have that effect ; of that you may be
attired."
"You are just so provoking ns that. ; you
t""ver .-eem to care how much 1 u thro' !"
Here the tears began to Hot. -
"What a confounded scene about a few
tnifk on the carpet !" ejaculated the in
corrigible Mr. Jaynes,with vigorous etiipha-
"It's not that alone. You know very
wL-H, Charles, that I wouldn't uiiild it for
once ; but it is so continually. 4ou never
seem to care how hard you make my work.
It is the same in everything ; and Charles,
why won't you be a little more particular ?
Why iwd you make so much work, when I
am trying so hard to keep things in pood
order?'' The shower was fast becoming, a
flood ; Mrs. Jaypes produced her hatitlker
chief, and be fan afresh. "Oh, dear! the
trial of living with such a care-ess person!
It would have been so much better for me
if I had never met yon !"'
Hut Charles had departed, shutting; tbe
ditnr with a trememdons bang, leaving his
letter half to have her cry out by herself.
And cry she did for a time, with all her
might, fully convinced that she was the
niost miserable, unlucky, and unappret iated
of all housekeepers ; ihert site began to
think what is the use of all this; noliody
cares about my tears : I am only making
myself sick for uofbing. !So she bathed her
', brushed her carpet, and resumed her
M-wirijr. JJnt I.e wa not in an amiable
in. d not by any means repentant nor for
giving, certainly not cheerful I am sorry
to say. not even peaceful ; but very much
!ii('lin"d to ft her grievances be ma le man
ifest. Accordingly fhi y were hardly seated
at the dinner table before s-he commenced.
"Did you see Parker about that wardrobe
this morning, as 1 requested?"
"No, hadn't the time!" was the cneour
s.;itie response.
"Hadn't titne ! You never have time to
attend to my wishes. You could have found
tsnie if you had chosen. If you cared a
Mraw for your wife, yoa would attend to her
wishes a little. Well, did you go to the
Move store to see about having thrt Ftove
cleaned? It is almost impossible to bake
in it, as I "have often told you."
"No; I did not."
"For mercy's sake, Mr. Jaynes.wben will
you attend to it?"
"I can't say ; anything else wanted ?" ,
"e. DiJ you call at Lovell's to pee
about matching that oilcloth?"
"No."
"Yet I asked you to be sure and recollect
it the last thing this morning. Was there
ever such a careless man before ? I never
fraw anything like it."
Mr. Jaynes continued his dinner in ap
parent unconcern, and his wife relapsed in
to silence. Just as he was leaving the di
ning room, she started a new theiue.
"Charles. Mrs. Duttou has'beeu in this
morning. She says they are going to the
White Mountains next week. Why cannot
you take me oil for a little journey? I
should" like the change; I think ivould do
me good. "
"Take you a journey, after the compli
mentary things you have said to me this
morning! I shall be very likely to do so.
A pleasant trip I should have!"
"That will do for an excuse ; you never
do take me anywhere. There's the But
ton's have been away every summer ; and
Mrs. Duttoti says her ' husband would not
think of her at home all .summer. She was
surprised when I told her that I had never
been away from home a week at a ttuie
si nee I was married."
"Very likely" in a tone of irony, and
Mr. Jay ties left the room.
"Now Ellen Jaynes w is not disappointed
in the least at the result of her application.
In fact she did not e.tpect her huband to
grant her request, and !t is doubtful wheth j
er she would have gone bad he civeti his j
consent, for she well knew their mean
would not allow such expensive indulgences, j
and Ellen was a prudent, economical wife, i
i
but she wanted to show her bu.-band what
other men did for their wives, and what he
did not do.
Eiien Jaynes was a woman of good prin
ciples an 1 good feelings, tho igli she bad
an irritatle, nervous temperament. In the
good ell time., sueh were called "cross:"
now. it is genteeily "nervous."' Weil. El
len Jaynes was very nervous ; she had also
a great regard for trifles, and very little
power to adapt herself to circumstances.
She had, too. a vivid imug'untioa, and hav
ing but limited opportunity for studying
her husband s character before marriage,
she had invested him with all poioi-; ex-cei-t
tice ; thought she had found a m iii to
reverence, lean upon, lonk up to io all
tb::ir;s. Of course she was bitterly tii.-ap-p
iiitrd.
Charles Jaynss was a nan of goo 1 natu
ral abilities, aiid could render biui.-eli" very
entertaining aii-I agreeable when he chose ;
but no had f.v.v ot those domestic j'j.iMuos
which make up the model husbaud. II-:-Was
not tidy in his habits, was oke:i thought
less and iitcoti-ideratc, a:,d rather seili.-hly
t ,ud of Jiis own case. Such a character
was the very antipodes of Eiien, who was
possessed of touch energy of character, and
very industrious witha!. A I have said,
she was bitterly disappointed ; and, though
she loved Charles, lamented her mistake
in uiartyiiig hint, with many secret tears.
She would, probably, have been quite as
miserable it h .my other husbo:d, unless!
she had governed S:cr own teniiifr; a it
was she endeavored to perform tile dutie.-,
devolviug upon her faithfully; yc she was
often troubled by ti e delinquencies of her
husband. They irritated her ; she would
fjiid fault and complain, which did not i.o
prove matters. Such a course never does.
So the years rolled on, and things grew
worse and Worse. The husband's lore grew
cold, and he became more and mora in.tt
ten'ive, while the cares of the wite kept
increasing, and ii like ratio, her fretting
and fliuk Siidinc. A deplorable state of
things most aijured y ; yet is it very uncom
mon ?
After the conversation we have recorded,
Ellen had so far freed her mind that there
came a reaction, ami we find her now in her
own room repetitant and sorrowful.
"I aui sorry 1 was quite so cross. I said
some tl ings I wish I could take back ; but
Charles does try me. so. lie is not what I
expected : but that can't be helped now; he
is my hu.-b.tnd, and I might at well make
the be.-t of it. I am so miserable, so un
happy, and it grows worse and wors 1
What a life we are lea bog ! It is all wrong
wrong. We are to live together till death;
it were wiser to make the best of my lot.
After all, things might be worse, Charles
is temperate, and honest, and virtuous ; but
who knows how long he will be. if we go
on in this miserable fashion? I will begin
to reform ; (7od -helping my efforts, I will
subdue my unhappy temper. Fretting at
Charles only makes him worse. I will try
what patience and cheerful endurance will
accomplish." And so Ellen Jaynes formed
her fir.-t tinii and good resolution, an. what
was better still, she began at otiee to fulfil
it. A ery nnnv good resolutions are made
very few are kept ; but this was kept.
At (he tea tabln Ellen made her appear- j
ance becomingly dressed (she was a comely j
woman), and wi.h a cheerful face; but Mr.
Janyes's brow was clouded, and he was not
to be draw into conversation. It required
quite an effort to look and speak pleasantly
in the morning, for the husband still re
mained moody and silent ; but she remem
bered her good resolution, ami she kept it.
In the forenoon he came into the sittinir
room on an errand, again with dirty boots ;
but this time Eileu tiid not seem to notice
them, "I declare I am hungry," said he,
careless!-, throwing himself into a chair in
a lounging atliiude, which was the special
detestation of his wife.
"And wet. too, I perceive," said his wife
kindly ; and. rising, she went quietly from
tbe room and returned, bearing a plate with
a tempting lunch in one hand, and a brush
in the other. The former she placed in her
husband s hand ; with the latter she brush
ed the drop3 of raiu from his. nock and
shoulders.
"WhyEllen, wl at does this all mean?"
And Mr Charles Jaynes looked up at his
wife iu unaffected astonishment.
"I was afraid you would take cold," was
the pleasant answer.
He took the plate in one hand, while the
other drew the face of his wife down to bis
for a warmer kiss than she had received for
five years. "This seems like the good old
times, don't it, Ellen?"
"I wish they would come back again !"
was her answer, as she returned tbe kiss.
After he had gnt;e. our heroine brushed
up her carpet cheerfully ; somehow it id
not seem much of a task, although there
were certainly more spots than the day be
fore, as it bad been raining ever since. The
door mat was not neglected again that day,
and the wardrobe came home in the after
noon, likewise the desired oilcloth.
Ellen kept her resolution,' though many
times sorely tern pteu tor theiiaoiism years j should be taken imo consideration in the

But she was determined to be puttent ; muuy
a murmuring word was deuicd utterance by
firmly closed lips. Many times did she
pray for s'rengih and self-control; but she
achieved the greafest of all victories she
cc nquered herself.
At the e-d of the month, Mr. Jaynes
said to bis wile : ''Come. Ellen. pa?k your
trunks, and we will pay your father and
mother that long talked of visit, I' have
made arrangements in my bu-iness so that ! s
we can have have a nice long vacation, and
we will throw care to the winds, and have a
famous time of it."
' Indeed, dear Charles, I should like to
go ; but, after all, we don't need to go from
home in search of ba jqiii-es;'. do we ?''
"Like the buttons, for instance," said
her husband, with a mischievous smile-.
"Ay, the Dultons," with an 'answering
smile.
"Nevertheless, we will have cur journey,

Astonishing Aztec Kriss. --Advice
from Santa Fe stale that Governor Amy,
the special Indian agent for tii.it- territory, j
has found the Cation de Chclley, wi.i- h wa.-, i
eSjiloicd (or twenty miles. The p.n ty feund '
cinons whose wails towered perpendicularly
to an altiiitude of from one thuu.-and to two
thousand feel, the rock strata being a.s pol
led as if laid by ti,e skilful hands of a ma
son, and entirely symmefrie.il. Among
these cannons were found ru'ros of ancient
Aztec cities, manv of which bear tbe evi
dence of buviii.g been populous, to the ex
tent of many thousand inhabitants.
In one ol these canons, the rocky walls of
which rose not less than 2.00 t feet from the
hue, and vvho.-e summits o;i cither hand in
clined to each other, forming part of an
arch, there were found, lii'u up, hewn out
of the ro-iks, the ruins of Aztc; town.; of I
great extent, now tenant less, desolate. In
eacii o! these ro.-ky eyries time remains in
a state of good preservation a h'-usc of
stunt, about twenty feet square, containing;
one bare and gloomy room wtrji'u the evi
dences th.iL a lire at sometime ha 1 been
used. The only solution of this enigma
thus far ventured, is that the.-e solitary
rooms were the alter p aces of the Aztce
fires; that from some cause the people at a
remote period were constrained to abaiiJoii
iheir homes, but left some iabbful sentinel
in each instance to keep alive the llame
that, according to Indian traditions of thijse
regions, was to iight the way of Me nlezuma
again to his people their hoped for Mes
siah and Eternal King. A close examina
tion of many of the ruins proved that the
builder must have been skilled in the man
ufacture and use of edged toois and mason
ry. Who these people were, whence they
came, or whither they went, is n .v, proba
bly, one of the mysteries to remain eternal
ly un-olved. Some of the ruins are report
ed to be mere stone buildings, seven or
rut-lit stories in height, being readied by
ladders placed against the walls Round
houses, 2d feet iu diameter, built, in the
most substantial manner, of cut stone, and
plastered inside were also found in exeellent
preservation.
Astonishing discoveries haie been made
in gold and silver regions, richer than yet
known on this continent. They are sup
posed, by well informed persons, to be the
east mines, of which tradition h:u handed
down the most most marvelous tales, and
the mines theuisehes discover unmistaka
ble evidences ol having been successfully
worked year s ago.
A couple of Yankee girls put a bull frog
into the hired man's bjd.tosee if thy could
get him to talk, Jake threw the frog out
of the window ami never said a word. Soon
after he put a bushel of chestnut burrs into
the girls' bed, and about the time he thought
they would make the least shadow, he went
to their door and rallied it furiously. Out
went the light and into bed went the girls,
but they didn't stick though the burrs did.
Calling to them, Jake begged them to be

seen that pe.ky bull frog ; he'd give two
dollars to find him.

Tea Culture in Asia.
There are two localities in which tbe tea
plant is indigenious the province of Assam,
in north eastern Uitidostan.and the Chinese
valley of the Yang-tse Kiang. Through
the length of both these regions the great
Himalaya mountain system projects an off
shoot range.giviog to Loth a decidedly moun
tainous character. In fact, the provitiee
Kueichu ha been called the Switzerland of
Chin, from the fact that its surface is al
most exclusively uioiiiitaiiiotis. Here is,
then, an important fact in reard to tea cul
ture, to wit: That its original home and its
present most flourishing locality is in a
I broken, mountebioiis country. This fact
As.-:iiij present a considerable variety of
agricultural and mineral production, but the
special interest in regard to it arises from its
being one of ti e oibiiual homes of the tea
plant. It produces both varieties of the tea
plant, the .u"( t ii i-ti and iha tlie i Loht t,
an. I promises in the future a very formidable
rivalry to China io ttie production of that
grca: staple of Asiatic export. The soil
which, in Assam, is found specially adapted J
to tea culture would elsewhere be designated
as poor yellow loam, an 1 would probably be
ignored uv cultivators ot cotton, lo.jacco, or
igar cane. A'crvtabie matter is found ben
eficial only ivh.fi it, acts me aauieally rather
than chemically, loosening its structure rath
er than aiVeeting its organic constituency. It
is s!n"ie:i'!y porous to transmit the surplus
rain fail, yet its capillary attraction holds
under contribution i he stores of sitbterraiie
an moisture as a resource against drought.
The climate of Assam is assimilated to
that of China in loose respects which lender
it specially prot iti ins to the tea culture,
though from its inl-iti-1 positimi the influence
of the in.jiisoous is ie?.; decided. The tea
plain hero seems to court moisture, and hence
the enormous rai.i fall by which the lower
portions! are inundated during the rainy sea
son is of great ndvantage, its surplus being
disposed of b the porous rui! and subsoil.

of lite plants, which attain twice the size ol j
thr Chinese plants. Labor is here of an in- I
different character and eiieetivene-s. The'
height of tbe tn-crs requires the leaves to be I
gathered in a standing position, and the ex
ertion of reaching after them strains the
muse'es and produces swellings of the le::.
The free access of -sun'ight and fre.sb air by
the moi a; horong!) clearing "t I lie! coot'.'ry,
it is th oue-'it. will tend to cheek this t.i;;h
gro'vth. and to concentrate a large measure
of fectittititive power iinnti the haves, thus
p!vipg a greater merchantable value to the
plants.
i China, however, is tbe favorite home of
j the tea plant, lea was probably known as I
a medicine here ahotit the fourth century o! j
j the Christian era. As a beverage it may
live been used ahotit tbe sixth century, but t
it did not. become geriernl until tbe eighth or j
ninth century. The hiil of Stmg lo't shati.
in thr? rrrvinee of K ting-nan. is fatpons as
the looality where tea was first discovered,
but the regular tea ctt'ture has hon shifted
to other localities. The lower lands around
this hill, where green lea still flourishes, are j
still very high above the sea, their elevation
being some 2.0tX feet. In this region and
the neighboring region of Moo quern a few
miles further South, are prodeeed the great
er part of the line green teas of commerce.
The geolor;- of this region is si'e.riati. The !
flora is of a decidedly northern character,
'"lenora of plants, common in Ivr.-.i-ni 1 and
Northern India, are here represent , d by nu
merous species, while semi tropical plants
are represented by a single exception il spe
cies of very hardy palm.
The headquarters of black tea production
are located i i The ! diea Hills, a range of
highlands f-kiitiiia the coast at. a distance of
miles, in the province of F.ikien. Near
Tscms gau kian is found the locality of the
finest production, including the Ming-yeu,
and different varieties of Souchong. The
latter is .sometimes called inner-mountain
tea. from the 'act that the IJohca, or Du ye
mountains, hoicnn it grow, are et:cire!ed
by an outer range which produces an inferior
variety of tea. The 11 oiiea, or Bu-ye tea,
is divided into two varieties, of which the
Yeu is produced on the mountain bides and
terraces, and the Cr.cn npen tbe elevated
plaitis around them. The Ycu is decidedly
preferable.
The soil suited to tea culture presents a
question which has received a great variety
of solutions from Chinese and foreign au
thorities coiiversan with the facts. A spec
imen of Chinese tea .-oil, -mm on exhibition
in tie cabinet of the General Land OiEee.
resembles a mixture of Scotch Snuff and
yellow ochre. Authorities may be quoted
for ami against almo? t every kind of soil in
China in its adaptation to tea culture. This
fact seems to indicate that this element is
the least important feature in the tea culture.
! The climate seems to have a far greater in
fluence. The general climatic conditions of
Cht a are such as to produce alternate inter
vals of long and profound hibernating re
pose and of rapid and luxuriant growth.
The whole tea zne, embracing a region of
twenty eight degrees latitude and thirty of
longitude along the valley of the Yang tse
kiang.is subject to the mostviolentextretr.es
of temperature from the periodic changes of
tbe monsoons. The cold breath of the nor
thern monsoon, which has held the vegeta-
tj ve powers of nature, begins to hi coun'er
aeted iu March by the warm gusts of the
southern monsoon. Rainfall and tempera
ture increase till the middle of May. durinz
which, at' times, the atmosphere is warm
and stagnant. The increasing betit of sum
morcausos copious evaporation, while the
rapid alteration of rain and sunshine stim
ulates the vegetative proees-j to the highest
activity. Heavy storms occur at intervals.
These characteristics, however, are not o
marked as in the central and northern parts
of the tea zone.
A prominent feature in tbe Chinese ell
mite is its broad nutige of tempeiature.
Humboldt says that "the northern part of
China, like the Atl.iut.ic region of the Uni
ted States, exhibits exec-si ve climates, and
seasons strongly contrasted. At IVkin, for
example, where the mean temperature of
the year is that of the coasts ol Iirittany,
the scorching heats of summer are prettier
than at Cairo, and the winter is as rigorous
as at cpsal." Thou.gh this capital is a de
preesoutli of Naples, iu rivers ami canals
nr. frozen from November to March. The
frost here pen"! rates three or f our feet into
tbe earth, destroying plants which Linmetis
rai-ed in S'.ve len, twenty degree's n rth.
Of the localities in ibis country in which
tci culture has been at'empled, the Tennes
see mountain region seems most assimilated
in climatic characters, to the Asiatic tea
countries. The climates of Florida ami of
California, with their wonder il otidi ions
of equability, seem to vary at the greatest
possible angle of diTereneo from those of
China and As-.am. If thse differences of
climate shali he found a-: unimportant as the
differences ol soil are in China, it will be
impossible to theorize upon tbe question
from any known facts, and the practicability
of tea culture hi this country must be set
tled by experiment alone.

H. T. lift R"i d. Irurgit;
Lkar imr : I hive been a toiterer, far upward
of twenty year, with gravel, bladder and kidney
affections. dbflLg which tim I have nsed various
medicinal preparations, and been under the treat
ment r.f the most eminent Physicians, experien
cing but littlo relief
Having seen yeur preparations extensively ad
vertised, I cont ulted with my family physician in
regard to uning -eur Extract Eucha.
I did this because I had used all kinds of id
vtrlixed iemedie. and bad found Ihem worthless,
and ome quite injurious; in faot, I despaired af
ever getting wtli, and determined to use no rem
ediej hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients.
It was this that prompted me to use your remedy.
Asyon adverti;ed that it was composed of buchu,
tubebs and juniper berr'e. it occurred to me and
uiy j.hysiciati as an excellent combination, and,
w ith bis advice, after an examination of th arti
cle, tnd cou-ultiug again with tha druggist, I
concluded to try it. I commenced its nsa about
eight months ago, at which time I was confined
to my room from the rst bottle I was astonish
ed i. nd gratified at the beneficial eject. tid after,
using it three weeks was able to walkout. I felt
much like writiugyou a full statement of my case
at that time, but thought my inMrOTement might
only be temporary, and therefor concluded to
defer and see if it would effect a perfect Cure,
knowing then it would be of greater valu to yoa
and more satisfactory to me.
I am now able to report that a cur is effected
after using tbe remedy for five months.
I have not ued any now for throe months, and
-
fee! as well in all respects as I ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid ot any unpleasant
ta.-t and odor, a nice teuin and invigorator of th
rytteta. I do not mean to be without it wh -never
eccdeiou insy require its use in sucb affections.
