"The old tavern hoti", where sat the
Colonial Legislature and the Council of
Safety, has associated with it another
interesting character. Nwn after the
war of independence liad ended, and
before the colonies had entered into the
federal compact, the house was kept by
Hugh Creigiiton. whose descendants or
family name have no; been known in
this region for many years. A frequent
visitor at his hoie, and a relative, was
a young lady who resided in 1'hiladel
nliia. ller mriden nme was Doratha
Payne, a daughter of John and Mary
1'ayne. She was born in North Caro
lina in 1772, while her nareuts were on
a visit there, they being residents at that
time of Hanover county, Virginia. Her
father served as a captain in the Ameri

but afterwards, being convinced of the
religious doctrines of t rieuds became a
tueiutter of that society, and was among
the Hi st who bad religious scruples
about holding slaves. In 17.G he sold
his landed estate in Vij-ginia and re
moved with his negroes to l'iiiladelphia,
where they we-e all set free. The nurse
of Ikiratha, 'Mother Amy,' refused to

family until her death, and on. of her

lawyer of that city, he being of the same
faith and order. liar (lieu in 1703, of
yellow fever, leaving lier with two
children. After the death of her hus
band she abandoned the religious faith
of her parents, laid aside plainness of
dress, entered fashionable society, and
at once became an attractive and fasci
nating lady. Her presence in the vil
lage drew aronud her the country beaux,
and more than one, even hi their old
age, confessed their inability to resist
her charms. Their outdoor parties in
summer and quilting frolics in winter
always found her a welcome guest, when
she was the centre of attraction and
admiration of all. ' l'iiiladelphia was the
metropolis, and w here resided those
administering the government, whose
wives and daughters made society gay
and fashionable. In this Mrs. Todd
was also a conspicuous personageand
where she had tnauy suitors. 1 ,
Among the delegates to Congress from
the btate of Virginia was James Madi
son, a young lawyer of talent, and even
then regarded as one of the brightest
intellects of tlte Stat. Hi j strict atten
tion to the duties of his ofliue prevented
his making many acquaintances; but on
the occasion of his introduction to the
bright young widow, he fell deierately
in love. This on the part of one 'whose
attainments Mere in advance of his
years,' led to considerable gossip among
the ladies, and made him t'le xint of
many jokes and other pleasantries with
the heads of the government "ven to
President Washington, who appreciated
his worth and abilities. In 1704 Iloratha
Todd, generally known as llolly Todd, i
became IMly Madison, anil the wife of
a future President of the I nited States
In 1801 her husband was appointed Sec
retary of State by Mr. Jetlersou, and
removed to Washington city, then little
better than a wilderness. Jiiev re
mained there until 1S17, at the close of
the second term of Mr. Madison's Presi
dency, and then went to Montelier,
V lrginia, upon his paternal estate. Soon
after the decease of her husband, in I83G.
she returned to the national capital, and
remained until her death, in 1810. In
her exalted position she never forgot
her friends about lladdonneld, nor the
many pleasant days she had spent among
the people there. Some of Her old
admirers sought honorable promotion
at the hands of her husband during his
administration, whose claims were
strengthened by her influence, and
which led to success. She survived all
her contemporaries, and in her declining
years was honored with a seat on the
floor of the House of representatives,
where she commanded the resect of the
great men of the nation. She would
always relate the pleasant reminiscences
of her early life to those presented to

"Flowers are the alphabet of angels,
whereby they write on hills and helds
mysterious truths;" and do thev not in
culcate in the heart beautiful lessons of
humility and strength, brightness and
cheeriulness? The humblest life, like
the tiniest flower, may lie lovely. Wild
winds and heavy storms bend down the
hardiest plant, but the sweet breath and
sunshine of Heaven raise them up aud
give them new life. So with the human
oeart; the storms ol adversity come
with overwhelming power, but the sun
shine of bod s love elevates and
strengthens it. Their brightness is
from God, who paints them in gorgeous
colors with sunbeams, and likewise our
life must depend on the light of God's
smile for its brightness, h rom them
too, we may learn the lesson of the
frailitv of life, so beautiful and radiant
yet fading so soon ! Then, again, they
are "sweet types or the great Resur
rection Day." They send their praise
and prayer to Heaven in fragrance; so
we must give the incense of our love to
our .Maker in faithful obedience and
good deeds.
Who does not love these children of
Nature? So simple, yet so wonderful.
mat the most common-neld llower is a
complex study for the deepthinking
scientists.
A love for flowers should be cultiva
ted in every houseliold. No matter bow
low ly tne auoae or how poor the in
mates, these little messengers of God
may bless and ornament that home.
With a small plat of ground and a few
minutes' care daily a gorgeous little
spot of brilliant colors may be made to
adorn the home of even the most pov
erty-stricken. Therefore it is to be
gretted that many of the small yards of
we city are not kept cleaner, in the
place of ashes and rubbish of all kinds
how much better to have green grasses
and lovely flowers growing!
Perhaps those who have charge of the
beautiful chantv,the"Flower Missions"
in our cities, and who distribute bou
quet arranged by gentle hands to thoe
who are not able to purchase, might be
induced to undertake this reform, and
instead of the unsightly yards of our
alleys, bright little plats of grass or
flowers might, with little incitement,
take their place. This change would
add to the health of the city and to the
happiness of the poorer classes. Let
the kind hearts of those who prompted
the "Flower Mission" think of the sug
gestion, and by earnest endeavor make
Ft success.
From the earliest ages flowers have
contributed to the joy of man and
soothed human sorrow. They have
crowned the victor and the blushing
bride, and covered with their sweetness
and fragrance the graves of the loved
and lost. -
JU H Jiasehwd, in one of his ininrtta-
tie Arab poems, says, "We converse
with those we love through flowers,"
and pays a graceful tribute to their love
liness." The "myriad-minded" Goethe
once saw some peasants strewing flow
era over a child's grave. "Yes," said
he, "bring flowers, my friend to the In
fant's grave, for they both make as
think of Heaven ; there the little one
are all gathered : there the flowers never
fade." .
There are many fanciful and exquisite
legendary stories of flowers and the
origin of their names. One of the forget-me-not"
is that a youth and maiden
sat on the bank of a swift flow ing river.
To test his love the fair girl begged
that he would plunge in the rapid cur
rent and bring to her the little blue
flower that floated not far away. The
lover pleaded in vain that he might
give some other proof of his fidelity.
The pouting beauty was inexorable.
He bade her a sad farewell, and plunged
in to meet his certain fate. She sat
gaily watching him while he bravely
buffeted the waves, and at last reached
the flower; plucking it he attempted to
return, but feeling his strength ex
hausted he threw it to her on the bank,
crying, "Forget me not," and disap
peared beneath the surging waters.
Since then, runs the legend, the little
flower has been called the "forget-me-not."
The perfume of different flower re
calls joyous associations, and often very
sorrowful ones. We inhale the fra
grance that we loved in childhood, and
the happy past comes back to bless us
again with its sweet memories. And
w ho that has ever placed them on the
bier of the loved dead but ever after
looks on them as sacred memories of the
departed.
The love of flowers and the culture of
them is increasing everywhere. We
see windows, parlors, gardens, the
roadside and every place adorned with
them. As indicative of gentleness and
refinement, we hail this as an omen for
good, and greet them always gladly as
God's soothing and purifying angels of
the soul.

.Storing May in Tight Bars. Nearly
thirty years ago a nan of progressive
ideas said to us that grass but partially
cured could be stored in Urge bulk in
tight barns, with perfect safety and
come out looking better and less musty
than if dried at.d stored in ventilated
barns. We regarded it as a visionary
idea to which he had given kindly re
ception on account of its novelty, but
which would result in toss if put in
practice.
It was the custom then to side up
barns with green boards, so that they
would shrink in seasoning, leaving wide
cracks to admit the air for drying out
the hay. An important principle was
hete overlooked. Fermentation, like
combustion, is caused by the anion of
oxygen and carbon, ana can no more
proceed if air is excluded, than Are can
burn under like conditions. Many
farmers have learned that manure will
not ferment rapidly when It is trodden
down so as to nearly exclude the air,
and that it seldom nrefangswnen thrown
where cattle can trample it under foot.
The class which, above all others, has
made grass and hay an especial study,
is dairymen.
They have ascertained by experiments,
directed by science, that hay will keep
better in clapboard ea or battened Darns
than in open barns or stacks. That the
heating will be so moderate as to only
dry out the bay without moulding.
if it is a fact that hay can be safely
put into a large mow, in a tight barn,
less cured than is necessary if stacked
or stored upon scaffolds, or in open barns,
it is a very important fact to farmers, as
it will enable them to gather their bay
crop with much less exposure to the
vicissitudes of weather, for even where
hay is in cock, the exterior surface is
injured by contact with dew or rain.

Brutalits to Cows. "A Dairyman and
Doctor" sends to the New York Tribune
the following particulars of the loss of a
valuable cow from a large tumor upon
the udder : "The cause of the tumor
which was really what is known as the
hernia or rupture of the abdominal sac
was a kick by a brutal attendant. I
have seen thoughtless persons, angered
by what they were, led to 'regard as
stubborness or riciousness or a cow, and
forgetting the serious danger of a kick
or heavy blow, thus abuse the poor am

have been avoided by care and watchful

cruelty of beating or kicking a cow,
and in addition its worse than useless-

Sheep Better than Seat Cattle. One
great advantage sheep have over other
stock Is they never die of the contagious
diseases which they contract. They get
the scab or foot-rot or something else,
and if unchecked it gets them in bad
condition, and would ultiuately, per
haps, kill them. But the very worst
contagious diseases to which sheep are
subject give the owner ample time to
treat the affected animals, and the dis
eases are generally of a character which
yield rapidly to treatment. But a man
may have a lot of hogs and feed them
hundreds of bushels of corn daily, and
about the time the bottoms of his cribs
are neared and be is thinking ot selling,
some disease breaks out among them
no one knows what it is or what to do
for it one animal after another, follow
ing in rapid succession, is affected, and
the greater portion die. I have known
farmers to be well-nigh ruined by the
appearance of a contagious disease of

and they do die sometimes its pelt is
sufficient to pay for its keeping from the
last shearing to its death. It makes no
difference when it dies, or what kills it,
the sheep never dies In debt.
Productiveness of Potatoet. I planted

how large crops I could raise, but to

tended, and the following were the
comparative products, which of course
vary Irom the results or otter experi
ments, but they may assist in forming
an opinion of the reneral merits of the
different sorts:

Improvement m Soldering. Dr. A. W

tals, without alloys, can be done, lie
ays; "It would be useful to turn
our attention to the autogenous sol
dering of metals with the aid of the
oxybydrogen flame, a principle which
has achieved such signal triumphs in
the treatment of two essentially diff
erent metals. Should it not be possi
ble, by the same means, to solder every
metal and alloy with itself, as tin with
tin,, copper with copper, brass with
brass, silver with silver, gold with
gold, and even iron with iron, just as
we already solder lead with lead, and
platinum with platinum f The proba
bility is present, and the advantages
of such a procedure are manifest. Let
us try to conceive the neatness of a
workshop in which soldering is per
formed, not as heretofore, with solder
ing iron at the forge, but with a light
elegant gas burner. Imagine the ar
tisan no longer annoyed by radiant
beat and by the fumes of charcoal, and
able to produce in a moment any tem
pera tare required, even the very high
est, and again to put an end to it by
imply turning a cock. Conceive the
solidity of the soldering which no lon
ger depends on cementing two pieces
of metal with a foreign matter, but on
an actual interfusion of two portions
of one and the same metal, and which
involves the utmost economy of ma
terials and dispenses with all snbse-
Suent work, such as trimming the soi
ered place with a file. Such evident
advantages must overcome every prej
udice, and prompt us most urgently to
commence a thorough experimental in

Calcium Iodate a Valuable Antiseptic.
Sonstadt has ascertained that calcium
iodate is an admirable antiseptic A
mong other results of his experiments,
he found that albumen from fresh eggs
treated with 0.05 of a gram of the io
date in a bottle, kept sweet six months
Fresh herring immersed in a similar
diluted solution of the iodate remain
good four days, and the peculiar ran
cid flavor of aalt herrings may be en
tirely removed by first soaking in
water to remove the salt and then im
mersing in the iodate water. Putrid
rain water becomes agreeable in taste
after 24 hours if mixed with one quarter
its volume of the iodate water. Rain
water, in which a hundred-thousandth
of the iodate is dissolved, continues
unchanged for a year. Fresh butter
covered with the solution will keep
three weeks, and rancid butter is im
proved by this treatment.
None of the above articles of food,
after being treated as described, give
any indication to the taste of the

increases the appetite, without as is

pome interesting: anu ingenious exper
iments tor measuring the strength of
insects have Ia'ely been made by a
Belgian naturalist named Plateau. He
first tested their power of raising
weights while walking on a level sur
face. His novel method of doing this
was to harness tne insect by a horizon -
ta: t ureai running over an eas?; v-mov-
mg pulley, at the otherend of wliica
was attached a scale pan for holding
and. To keen the insect in a straight
direction, be fenced it in between two
parellel strips of glass; and to keep it
from slipping, he covered its track
with coarse muslin. As the insect
moved forward, it pulled the thread
over the pulley and raised the pan, and
the experimenter poured sand into it
nntu the insect could move no longer.
The insect and the sand it bad raised
were then weighed, and the relation
between the weight of the two was ob
tained. He found that the insect con Id
raise forty times its own weight : while
by a similar method a man could raise
only five-sixths of his weight, and a
horse only half or two thirds of his. By
repeating each experiment three times
and employing a vast number of insects
ot various sizes, and comparing bis re
sults, he came to the conclusion that
the smaller insects in the same group
invariably raise the itreater weight in
proportion to tueir own weight.
Improved Clocl-vork Governor. In
order to secure perfectly regular mo

introduced a simple centrifugal rover

heavyweight, which is in tbeioimof
a fly-wheel, and toe circumference of

latter to fall back to their original po

extent of 500 pounds per minute must
be done on the governor in order to ac

advantage that it checks any accele

The Ga$ Gun tor tog Signal. A
very ingenious application has been
made by Mr. Wigham of the explosive
nature ot a mixture ol ordinary gas in
air. He establishes, at any point on
the coast where a fog signal ia desired,
a gas gun. It is simply a tube of iron,
connected with the gas-holder by the
proper pipe ; tne latter, of course, may
be at any convenient distance. The
gas-bolder is filled with a mixture of
one-fourth air, and the remainderccal
gas and oxygen, and this mixture is al
lowed to Dow into the gas gun. when
it may be fired off bv touching a match
to the proper orifice, taking care, of
course, to close all communication with
the holder. By using an electric spat k
instead of the match, the service of
the gun may be made still easier. The
flash from this gun issaidto illuminate
the fog much better than that from a
discharge of gun-powder.

The Moon and Meteorological Phe
nomena. The influence of . the
moon on meteorological nhenomena
has been investigated by .March
land, who has taken as a basis the
years 1858 to 1872, and has also stu
died the distribution of storms from
the year 1785 to 1872. With respect to
tt.is latter subject he finds that on the
10th, 14th and 15th days of the lunar
month, storms are oarticu ariv nreva-
lent ; and on the 8th, 10th and 24th days
iney are least prevalent, in general
the evidence ooints to the conclusion
that no lunar influence is plainly per
ceptible. Coal ashes, sifted very finely, thor
oughly ground, and mixed with oil,
make a good cheap paint. - Any coloring
matter may be added.

Amujting the Baft. When the baby
is just about able to open its little un
used eyes, it is first induced to gaze
upon the lamp. The infant with weak,
pinkish, half-open eyes is a sufferer be
yond any power to tell of, or get relief
irom its own woes, ana yet tne torment
of making it gaze at "ze putty yed
yightn is supposed to be exquisitely
amusing. After the bother with the
son and the lamp, the baby is jumped
at, screamed at, and otherwise startled,
until its nerve are disturbed beyond
ordinary quieting. It is a subject of
marvel to most people that so many
children die in infancy, bnt to an ob
serving and reflecting mind the wonder
is that any children grow to maturity.
When you and 1 are miserable we want
to be left in the quiet. Repose is the
sweetest remedy for onr nervous c
other ills, bnt baby is trotted, bounc
toted, "ketch-ketchied," chucked under
its chin, poked in its cheeks, or some
body's thumb is thrust into its tooth
less mouth irrespective of a need of
ablution, and then if baby isn't happy
it ia reputed very irritable. Tickling
the baby's feet, creeping the fingers
like the motion of a mouse, across the
breast, and up into its fat, sensitive
neck-wrinkles, is another mode or
amusing baby, ur course the cniia
laughs, and the idiots who torment it
foriret that it is the same expression
with which they reply to a similar pro
cess from the hand of some mischievous
but torturing friend : and yet we all
know that thia laugh from a man is a
hysterical outcry of nervous irritability.
When the laugh ceases, weariness
brings weeping, or perhaps, a restless
and unrefresbing sleep, f ouowed by de
pression, and. probably, indigestion
and colic. Nothingshould ever he done

tends to ease in action, and to lessen
motion in the saddle. A lady should
never be hard upon the saddle that is.
there should be no bumping noise, not

such elastic motion from the foot to the
knee and the waist, that her return to
the saddle should seem as light as

Rather Inquisitice.A gentleman who
recently passea over mmj uiu ,juii
Railway, from Rocheser to Syracuse,
wiatM an amusing incident that came
under his observation before reaching
Auburn. An officer was on the train,
having in charge two convicts destined
for Auburn prison. The hands of the
convicts were free, and they sat op
posite one another, with irons on their
ankles, the officer occupying the seat
with one of tnem. iTeseniiy a gentle
man, whose bonked nose, old-fashioned
silk hat and generally seetiy appear
ance indicated inauisitiveness, came
alnna and took the seat beside the eon
vict, not noticing the irons. The convict
was an intelligent fellow, and eyed his
fellow-passenger closely. Presently tne
stranger said: "Pretty slow train, this.
Convict "1 suppose it is rather slov
when one) ia in a hurry.'' Stranger-
"V - tm rain? down the road farT"
Convict "o, sir. i stop on at auouto.
Stranger "Ah ! Do you live there V
Convict "I have not formerly."
Stranger "But you think of taking up
your residence there, do youf Convict
"I am thinking seriously of it ; yes,
sir." Stranger "What business are you
in, if 1 may ask T convict -l expect
to be in the employ of the State." The
stranger saw the irons and the sell
about the same time, and ejaculated
"Oh ! Ah ! Yes, I see," and went into
the next car. Syracuse Courier.

The other Sunday a deacon minister
preached a sermon on the sin of white
lies and evasions, and he flattered him
self that his congregation took every
word to heart. Next day he made a
call upon one of his parishioners, and
as he mounted the front steps he heard
one of the boys call out :
"Ma! ma! the preacher's coming

"Great lands!" he heard her shout.
"and my hair's down and I've got this
old dress on ! Run to the door. Bill,
and tell him I went to Grosse Isle on a
church excursion !"
"Oh, no ; 1 hate to," replied the boy.
"Go go quick hurry up, or I'll tan

urged, and the lad went to the door
and' discouraged the preacher from
making the call.
The Pursuit of a Hat. There are a
very few moments in a man's existence
when he experiences so much ludicrous
distress, or meets with as little charita
ble commiseration, as when he is in
pursuit of his own hat. A vast deal of
coolness and a peculiar degree of judg
ment, are requisite in catching a hat.
A man must not be precipitate, or he
runs over it ; he must not rush into the
opposite extreme, or he loses it alto
gether. The best way is, to keep gently
up with the object of pursuit, to be
cautious, to watch your opportunity
well, get gradually before it. then make
a rapid dive, seize it by the crown and
stick it hrmly on your head, smiling
pleasantly all the time, as if you thought
it as good a joke as anybody else.

Fish Md flesh.
Many elaborate comiiarisoiis have
been made as to the comparative food
values of butcher's meat and flsh, and
occasional controversies have arisen on
the subject, in which the utmost diver-
ity ot opinion has been expressed.
Some economic writers" maintain that
fish has no food value worth speaking of.
Others say fish food must occupy a
middle position between vegetables and
beef and mutton. Again,learned author
ity says that fish well-cooked with oil
or fat of some kind, or served with but
ter when brought to the table; "iscliem
ically the same as butcher's meat, so tar
as nutrition is concerned. Another
writer savs that fish as food is onlv fit
for children aud invalids, and is totally
unfit to support the health and vigor of
men and women engaged in labor and
occupations. As usual in such disputes,
we may hold that the truth lies between
the two extremes. Many persons fol
lowing laborious oeciiations, especially
in Scotland, live largely on fish. In
that country, the fishermen themselves
eat a considerable portion, and, as a
class, fishermen are strong and healthy;
and the wives who undertake part of the
men's work, are still stronger and
healthier. In Portugal fish fried in oil
forms a large proportion of the food of
the population ; their fish diet is sup
plemented by a little bread and fruic,
and although the peasantry of the laud
never partake of flesh meat, yet they
are a hardy, vigorous, and brave peo
ple.
A senior thus describes his unsuccess
ful attempts to (fain the attention of a
young lady: "I wanted to see her ever
so much, but some old fellow rushed in
ahead, and there I was eliminated by
substitution."
