PRIMROSES. Sweet Primrose ! I bold 70a dear. That heedless an of ma ; Too hare do ear my word to hear. No eves, my gaze to see. Yon lor the rain that well each bad ; The son, that bid you blow ; The breeze that calm your gentle blood. And away yon to and fro. Bat I am least of all to yon ; For what hare I to gire ? What can I add of pleasure new To your one j oy to live ? And yet the sunshine finds no blise. To smile, and win your smile ; The bro ze is careless of the kiss. It tales or gives by whiles. While I. who love, most yearn in Tain, For all I take of yon. To give to yon each joy again. As fcives one drop of dew. And yon. fair flowers of joy and light. Blessed above all rema-n. To fciee such dtl.oate delight. And tale no gift again. A boat Lead rrwctla. It will, perhaps, surprise some of our renders when we gtitte aa a positive lact that lead pencils contain nothing of lead except ill tlie Dame. Yet such is the troth. Lead pencil is. in fact, as much a mis nomer as it would be to call a horse a cow. Ked lead is an oxide of lead and white alio a cnrtonat of that metal, but the black lead used in pencils is neither a metal nor a compound ot metal. It is plumbago or jrruphite, oDe of the tonus ot ctrbon. Formerly the square pieces of irrapb ite which form the uiaikiuir portion of the pencil, were tawed out of large masses of ill it material. but when pen ciU came into such universal usett was found that this method of procedure DeceKsita'ed co much waste, that it was quickly discoveied that Rome other process must be used in order to utilize the wastage. In such cases, the want is m Worn lelt before some ready in ventor's brain supplies the remedy. So it was here. After the eiperiment inar necess.irv to brinir any inveutioo down to a practical wotkinr basis the billowing method was matured : The fiagmeuts of giaphite are ground tiuc, calcined, and mixed with Cure clay. This clay has been prepared y tlitl'usiug it through water, allowing the coarser particles to settle, drawing otl'the milky fluid troui the top and letting it settle again. The latter sedi ment is exceedingly tine ami plastic and after beingdiied on linen tillers is tit for use. It is then mixed with TMiudcred irrauhite in various uropor- portious, according to the degree of hardness required in a pencil two parts of clay to one of graphite being used for a tine, hard grade, equal parts for a sott one, and intermediate mivtures for the srrade twtween. The materials after lieiug mixed, are triturated or kneaded with water until they are about the consistency of dough. This is pressed into grooves m au otherwise smooth board, dried tn the mould bv a moderate heat, then tnken outaud baked in covered cruet' hies in a furnace. Sometimes the dough is compressed iu a strong receiver and out thiougli a small bole in a thread of the shape requited, then dried and oaked aabove. The grade of the lead depends also partly upon the degree of heat to which it is exposed in the furnace. Leads intended for very fine work, like architectural drawing, etc., aie reheated after the bakiug aud immer sed iu melted wax or suet. The wood used for all the better kinds of pencils is the Florida red cedar. It is lirst thoroughly seasoned. then sawed into strips, dried againnd then cut into strips of proper size for pencils. They are grooved by niach inerv. the leads are glued into the irrooves. and the other half of the wood glued on. After being dried under uressiire thev are rounded or otherwise shaped by a kind of lathe or cutting machine, then polished oy anotuer ofieration, aud sometimes painted or varnished by a third, which feeds the pencils from a hopper and turns them around under the brush, they are next cut the tight length by a circular saw and the ends made smooth by a drop kuife, after which they are stamp- pen y a heated die and sent to the packing-room to le packed for sale. Pedeatrleelena. A good deal is said about the indis position of Americans for pedestrian iournevs. It is not asserted that A me ricans 10 Europe are less fond of jaunts on toot thau other travellers there; the criticism aud the ceDsure appear to be conlined to our country nieu at home Assfiredly if our people ahow do special fondness for pedestrian excursions, it is hardly a matter of wonder. I he most continued pedestrian demands certain conditions for a journey on foot ; theie must be good roads, at tractive scenery, comfortable iuns, ere he will put on his walking gaiters aud take up his staff. Two of these requirement- America does not possess. Our wai-aide tuns are commonly white sepulchres, which all uieu enter with misgivings, aud our loads are con structed as if pedestriauisiu were an unknown art. Oue who undertakes a long journey on toot with us knows in advance that much of his jauut must extend over roads cut up with deep ruts, without footpaths at the sides, for the most part unprotected from the sun by shade trees, covered with loose sand, that with every nassiug vehicle or every purl' of wind rises in clouds of dust, and with miserable taverus for resting places at long aud uncertain intervals. There must le comfort for the foot, and freq ieut agreeable resting places, if we are ever to see pedestiiauisni take an acknowledged social place. The public iuditlerence to the condition of our highways is Quite remarkable. Visiiing recently a Uouiishing village near New Voik, we fouod everwueie evidences ot prosperity and wealth, except in the highways. The roads that led out of the town were lined with extensive parks aud costly villas, but the owners of these summer places permitted the highways that swept by them to remain in a state of most rude disorder. "We have every thing here." said oue of the citizens to us, "churches, schools, libraries, gas, water, every thing but toads." It is puzzling to un derstand that a public spirit so active in many directions should stop at the highway. Kemembering not only our country roads but our city streets, it would seem as if Americans were born into an indifference upon the matter. The necessity of poor roads in the early settlement of the country seems to have passed into an inherited idea of their iuevitableiiess ; we appear to accept bad loads as a dispensation of provi dence w hich it would be wrong to re sist. V e most certainly shall never render pedestiian excursions at all tolerable until the evil is remedied. And this is matter for serious regret. Imagine our roads thronged, as the mountain pas ses of Switzerland are, with groups of young men fresh with elastic vigor, with their cheeks browned by the sun, their cheerful laughter ringing upon the air, with knapsack on back and al penstock in hand, giving picturesque animation to the highway, and laying for themselves foundations of health and practical knowledge ! Few things could lie better for our young men than tin j, or better for the country at large. Under a dispensation of such roads we might come to see the fixed national habit grow op, as in Germany, where by every youth would be understood not to have completed his education nntil he had explored on foot the by ways and rural places of the land.

The following is a transla tion from 1 Mercuric, a paper pub lished at Valparaiso, S. A. For the papercontainlng it wear indebted to P. t. uimictc. of bauta Bsroara.Caiilorui. Our reader will do well to bear it in mind, and at the proper time give it a trial. If it prove satisfactory, we de sire to be apprised of it, and hope to hear from those who try the experi ment: I planted a peach orchard, writes M. Siroy, of the Society of , Horticulture, and the trees grew well and strongly. They bad but just commenced to bud wnen they were invaded by the curcu lio (puhjoa), which insects were fol lowed, as frequently happens, by ants. Having cut some tomatoes, the idea oc curred to me that, by placing some of the leaves around the trunks and branches of the peach trees, I might preserve them front the rays of the sun which were very powerful. My 8111 prise was great upon the following day to find the tree entirely free from their enemies, not one remaining except here and thete where acurled leaf prevented the tomato from exercising its influ ence. These leaves I carefully un rolled, placing upon them fresh ones trom the tomato vine, with the result of banishing the last insect and en abling the trees to grow with luxuri ance. Wishii.g to carry still further my experiment, I steeped in water some Iresh leaves of the tomato, and sprinkled with this infusion other plants, roses and oranges. In two days these were also free from the innumer able insects which covered them, aud I felt sure that had 1 used the same means with my melon patch 1 should have met with the same result. I there fore deem it a duty I owe to the Society ot Horticulture to make Kuown mis singular and useful property of the to mato leaves, which 1 discovered by the merest accident. Where the Farm Should Bk. Xo small beginner iu gardening shouid buy a farm near a large city, or so near as to depend on the city market to sell the products of the farm. Take Xew York, for instance: a small grower of vegetables and fruits would not prooa bly succeed uear that city, because lie would have to send his "truck," jc.'., by rail to some commission dealer, and the expenses and commission would consume all the profits. To be near enough to such a city to be able to drive your team into it, and sell your load from the wagon, would cost you $50t) to $1,000 an acre for land, and none but gardeners with a large capital own such lands. Again, an 01 our large cities are supplied with early vegetables from the South ; and by the time green peas, strawberries, ic, are grown near them, they have been in the market a mouth or two, aud the orices are very low. In brief, the Southern supplies of early vegetables and fruits to our large cities have al most destroyed the business near mem. The small farmer and gardener should be near some large country town, con taining a population of some thousand, or near a small inland city of ten thou sand or more inhabitants, and where green peas and strawberries from Flor ida are not oneieu ill tne market 111 March and April. He ought to be with in au hour'- drive of town, and the most o what he would grow he should sell from his wagon. In some cases. after learning the ways of doing busi ness successfully, he might "snip some things iu large quan:ities to some commission house in some large city But generally all the fruits grown on small places cau be sold In the large in terior towns aud villages at much higher prices than they command iu cities, alter deducting all expenses. Fat Shef.p for Heavt Fleece. A writer in the Count Gentleman says There is much said about ewes being too fat to breed well. In my experi ence of twenty years, 1 have never seen anything that led me to tUuk so, pro viding the flesh was put on witu goou pasture during the summer, and a few roots with good bay in the winter. The fatter sheep become under such circum stances, the more valuable I consider them. There is no time in the year when it pays better to feed a small al lowance of grain daily than in the fall after the feed gets frozen, and it is not necessary to bring the nock to the Darn It is an old saying that "sheep well Xovembered are half-wintered." Keep the ewes fat, and the lambs will be fat aud the fleeces heavv. I do not say that it is better to have the lambs come early or late; but I do say it is best to have them fat; but whether early or late, they are salable. All ewes that, with good care, will not raise a lamb aud shear four pounds of washed wool should be sold. 1 have them in my flack that will shear nine pounds aud raise a pair of twins, and it costs 110 more to keep one, than a sheep that shears but three pounds. 1 thiuk that no one will iiear the man who keeps his flock in this way, complaining be cause bis sheep are all "run out," and do not pay him. and the like. Ticks must be kept out of the flock; they are the worst enemies of the sheep. If they are not killed they will destroy the sheep. For killing them 1 have tried nothing better than tobacco juice. Cremation for Weeds. Mr. Mechi writes a note recommending Are as a remedy for weeds wh re the soil be comes very foul. He says: " here land, especially heavy land. is lull ot couch grass and seeds or weeds, burning is a certain cure. The inorganic portions of the seeds or weeds are not destroyed by fire, but they are thus rendered available for growth ol useful crops. 1 seems to me to have been a marvelous mistake to fallow the laud for two years, and cart away 200 loads per acre of couch grass, as was done 011 the Hall Farm of Lord Am beret's near Sevenoaks (sev Koyal Ag ricultural Society's Journal, vol. vili, page 33, first series). During the sum mer months the soil and it contents might have been charred at small cost, and an enormous saving effected. The charred remains of the weeds and their seeds woulJ have manured the land for succession of useful crops. The earth burning effectually destroys all seeds." Save Yocr Soapscds. Who would throw away a barrel of soft soap or a box of hard soap? Were it not other wise useful, it would be of great value as a fertilizer, if spread in its raw state about our fruit trees or berry bushes. But, after being dissolved iu water ana passing through the wash-tub, glean ing all the imperceptible elements of the best manure from soiled linen, its fertilizing power is vastly increased. Indeed, we may almost say that the av erage soapsuds from the kitchen and laundry is worth more than the sop which produces it. Do not, then, allow your soapsuds to run away wasted while you have trees which it might benefit. a Work Horses. June hours work in the field, now that we have so many labor-saving implements is enough for horse or man. Two hours rest at noon will be well for the horses, giving them time to eat, and opportunity to digest their food. The tenth of the time thus taken from work will be more than regained in the better health of the animals, and their better ability to work the other nine hours. It 19 a good plan to harrow pastures so as to distribute the droppings of cat tle. The grass about these grows rank, but the animals do not like it they pass it by the whole season. If the ground was harrowed these droppings would be evenly distributed aud the grass would be eaten. Xiver trim tbe hair from the ear of your horse.

We know that qaartz requires a higher temperature to melt it than does either the feld spar or the mica, mod so, had the gra nite, been formed aa are regular volca nic rocks iu the ordinary way of igne ous fusion, we should certainly have found that the quartz would have crys tallized before either the feldspar or the mica, and it would have been seen in definite crystalline form, and its crystals would have interfeted with aud penetrated those of the other min eral constituent of the rock. Again, if we look carefully at the quartz with a moderately high power, we shall see in it certain small cavities and some of these will b? seen to contain a certain amount of liquid, and also an air-bubble, which will move as the specimen is moved. This liquid ha been proved to be water, and from the fact of its not entirely filling the cavity we learn that a reduction of temperature has ta ken place since the water was first caught np y the quartz, causing the rou tents of the cavity to contract. Sometimes we shall And other cavities, which, instead of containing water, contain small crystals, or even air only. Now from all these tacts it appears toleral'ly certain that the grin i to was formed under peculiar circumstances; it has never been such a purely molten rock as is the lava of a volcano, which is poured out from its crater to the light of day. We gather that it was rather formed at great depths in the earth, where it may have been par tially melted, partially subjected to the action both of water aud of steam, eharged with various mineral substau ces, and subjected to enormous pres sure. What the original condition of granite was we cannot tell ; some have gone so far as to thiuk that it may have been that of a sedimentary rock, which j lias been mctamoiphosed by the forces iust alluded to. But, whatever the pri- marv state ot friulle may nave oeen. its preacut condition shows it to beloug undoubtedly to the igneous class of rocks, but to have been formed under couditious differing fro n those which have given rise to l-vas re.o hing the surface.

A A'fir Proneller Screw. Dr. Collins Browne, well known iu England as the originator of the beak-prowed ship, which presents some great advantages, has recently introduced a four-bladed screw propeller, which is essentially neenliar. In aooearauce the rtropeller is rather paradoxical, for it resembles two double-oladed screws on one shaft. one screw being t he exact re verse of the other. Hence it might be argued that oue screw would neutralize the other, and all the power applied to ef fect the rotation or the propeller would lie thrown awiv. lint closer attention shows that the effect must needs be otherwise. hen the propeller vi brates each of the four blades is dri viug. two with their faces, two with their backs, these latter receiving the water thrown from the foremost pur. There is a powerful grip in the water, and at the same time the action is smooth, steady, silent, never thrashing or producing vibration. The water is as if it were wormed through the screw in a uniform thread, one contiuotis stream being thr3wn aside from the center of the propeller in a direct axial line. 1 he power ot the propeller is in dicated by the quickness w ith which it stops a vessel when the motion of the screw is reversed. A steamship of 1043 tons, fitted with one of these screws. twelve feet in diameter, when steaming at about ten knotsan hour, was stopped in her own length on the motion of the screw being reversed. A Xtte Leather Tanning Process. A new leather tanning process, which was put into operation on an extensile scale at Detroit, Mich some two months ago, promises to be produc tive of important results. The great feature is the short time required to do the work. By the new plan, woik. which under the old process required one to two year's time, can be accom plished in from three to six weeks. Under the old process the hides iie in the vat with the bark for many months. the longer the better, gaining firmness and strength with the lapse of time. By the new process the tanning is done iu an hour, and all the time spent is that required for currying and dres sing. The process is a chemical one. performed by the action of certain in expensive chemical materials, the com pouading of which in the right propor tions is a secret. Kobea tanned w ith the hair on are said to be as soft as tbe finest wool ; hides of the deer, horse, dog, etc., are smooth and soft, while calf and kid show a most desirable tex ture and grain. Another great advan tage is the economy of the process, no baik being required except a little to give the proper color to the leather. A Xew Safetv Lamp. An alleged im provemetit n safety-lamps has been devised by M. B iullenot of Paiis. It consists in replacing the lamps usually employed in mines containing nie damp. by others supplied with air from outside the miue. r ned pipes are rariied down the mine, aud branches are led into all the workings. 1 hrougb these compressed airis forced from the surface by air-pumps, and the ltn proved lamps are screwed to the air- pipes by couplings with stop-cocks. Hie cylinder inclosing the dime is protected bv a caire, an I the products of combustion pes elf tnrough two pieces of wire gau..-.

Ji. hi:1 le seen that the main i lea of -!u- inventor is to feed tbe lamp, not with ii from the miue, so as not to draw in any possible explosive mixtures, but to feed the flame with fresh air from the outside, letting bow- ever the air witu the products of com bust ion escape from the lamp through wire gauze. Dr. Ixufus Gilbert, tbe projector of the uilbert elevated railroad, has in vented a locomotive, by means of which it is iuteuded to carry passe n gers at the rate of forty miles an hour. The weight of the new engine is under the boiler, close to tbe track, vo as to prevent the locomotive from being too-heavy. As it is desirable to in crease or diminish tbe driving power of the engine at pleasure, the weight is introduced by the suspension of iron or bv means of tanks tilled with water. During the hours of the day, when tra vel is light, the iron weight can be re duced or the water can be emptied at any station. By this arrangement of tbe center of gravity and trom tbe no vel manner in which the driving wheels work, aa well as by the peculiar swing ing axles of the tender, the Gilbert en gine can turn the most abrupt curves with the greatest possible ease, with out injury to the condition of tbe track or endangering the lives of the passen gers. Ttr wa'er may be employed for dye ing silk or wool ashen gray. Tbe stuff is first mordanted with weak perch lo ride of iron, by soaking in the solution some hours. It is then drained and passed through the bath of tar water. The oxyphenate of iron, which is thus precipitated on the fabric, givea a very solid color. A New Test Color. The flowers of the violet and iris have recently been found to yield a very fine blue color. winch is a more delicate test for acids aud alkalies than the solution of lit mus commonly employed. The name of the new color is phyllocyaoin. It will probably before long hud its way into all chemical laboratories. Some two hundred persons are thrown out of work by the stoppage of uie oprague rams at Augusta, JUaine, mhstic. Thin Clothing. Our climate is to variable, so liable to sudden changes from heat to cold, that even in summer people should wear thin gauze flannels. This is especially true of all localities bordering on the sea. An easterly or south-easterly wind comes to us from mid-Atlantic, laden with moisture and suggests an immediate increase of cloth ing. Those who watch the weather vane and thermometer closely enough may dress as they feel like dressing without inconvenience, but those who put on in the morning what they Intend to wear till night will wisely provide against a change of atmospheric condi tions. A great deal of suffering and disease is caused by coldfar more than by heat even in the summer time. Sudden changes of temperature are al ways to be guarded against, and as far as possible provided lor. In tropical India the British soldiers wear nannei during all the summer season, aud statistics show that since this has been an army regulation mortality (chiefly from bowel complaints) has been very largely diminished. Id malarious dis tricia if one keeps dry and warm be is in slight danger or Having cnuis. ine hunter In the Indian jungles, abound ing in malaria, wraps himself warmly, kindles a tire to drive away the damp ness, and defies the fever successlully. These hints. It is hoped, may oe 01 benefit 10 young mothers, in clothing their children, a. id toothers in too great haste to throw aside their warm clothing for lighter fabrics and summer costumes. Apple Puffs. These are nice for party suppers, and. In fact, are good any ti ne, but rather too tedious to make lor frequent use. ine quicken way to make them is to roll two Urge sheets of dough 011 separate boards, and put as many tiny spots of mashed or sifted sauce uoii one of them as you jude there will be room to make puffs; then cover it all with tbe other sheet, which should be a trifle larger, and cutout with a biscuit cutter wherever there is a bunch of sauce. If too much sauce is put in, it will stew out bad and dis figure them ; print around them with a three lined fork if you have nothing better to press the edges together ana keep iu the juice. By the way, an old wooden clock wheel is quite a handy thing to roll around pies, and makes a very pretty margin; cheap, isn't It? aud it is never out of order. The Practical Parmer says that clap boards are oaen split by driving large nails into the board that has jut been put on, sometimes checking the stud on which the clapboard is nailed. This induces leakage and often speedy decay. The proper method is pointed out as follows: After one board is nailed on, let the support nails be stuck into the sheathing booros or studs, so as to rest on the upper edge of the board below. Then alter the ends are fitted, draw out the nails and lap tbe clapboard on the other board not less than one inch. By observing this direction, no cracks will be produced near the lower edge of the boards. It will pay well, also, to make holes for nails with a sharp brad-awl. Strong Drink. The use of strong tea, a very common habit with womeu is a great injury to health. It stimu lates the uervous system without pro viding nourishment. Any portion of the human body continuously excited will sieedily wear out. "I'm so ner vous," is an expression often heard, and the starts and screams which trifling incidents occasion in a company of ladies proves the assertion to be true. The "nervous" would do well to study the cure of their nerves more and talk about them less. now to Crystalhe Fruit. Pick out the finest of any kind of fruit, leave on their stalks, beat the whites of three eggs to a stiff froth, lay the fruit in the beaten egg with the stalks upward, drain them and beat the part that drips oil again, select them out one by oue aud dip them into a cup of finely-powdered sugar; cover a pan with a sheet of fine paper, place the fruit inside of it, aud set it in au oven that is cooling; when the icing ou the fruit becomes firm pile them on a dish aud set them in a cool place. Crimpi.no Hair. To make the hair stay iu crimp take live cents' worth of gum arabiu and add to it just enough boiling water to dissolve it. When d s solved, add enough alcohol to make it rather thin. Let this stand all night aud then bottle it to prevent the alcohol from evaporating. This put on the hair at night, after it Is done up in papers or pins, will make it stay iu crimp the hottest day, and is perfectly harmless. Xkrvocs Children. Nervousness with a child is almost always a matter of the stomach. A crust of bread will usually put an end to tbe most obstinate perverseiiess. Children, for this rea son, should never be allowed to go to bed, after a fiiof crying, with an empty stomach. A bit of bread and jelly, or a cup of custard, will bring back smiles and happiness when all the moral law fails, aud for the soundest of reasons. M en ding Glass. For mend I ng valua ble glass objects which would be dis figured by common cement, chrome cement may be used. This is a mixture ol five parts gelatine to one of a solution of acid eliminate of lime. The broken edges are covered with this, pressed together aud exposed to sunlight, the etlect of the latter being to render the compound Insoluble even iu boiling water. Fried Bread. Here is a very nice side dish, aud an economical way of using dry slices of baker's bread : Dip e.ich slice quickly in water if very dry; then make a batter trom one egg, two or three tablespooufuls of flour, and milk enough to make a thin batter; fry on a griudle or frying-pan ; have good sweet lard, aud heated very hot, before laying iu the bread. It is delightful. English Stew. Cut cold meat of any kind into thin slices. Sprinkle salt, pepper and flour over them ; also spread over the meat any kind of pickles, chopped or sliced. Pour over all half a teacup of water, and a little of the vine gar from the pickles, with a spoonful or two of catsup and some of the gravy left from the meat. Mir all together. and bake one hour. Cleaning Window Glass. Painters sometimes leave spots on window glass when painting the sash. A lady who knows informs us that benzine applied to such places, and allowed to remain a while, will render it easily removed by scouring. She says she has also heard. but has not tested it, that a strong solu tion of soda, applied hot, will be equally efficacious. Rye Drop Caees. Two coffeecupfuls of rye meal, two teaspoonfuls of cream tartar, one teaspoonrui of salt, two tablespooufuls of sugar, two coffeecup fuls of milk, poured in gradually ; two eg8, well beaten; one teaspoonnil of soda, dissolved in a little warm water, and added last. Beat well, and bake in cups or gem pans, heating before Ailing. A new Insecticide consists of camphor dissolved in methylated spirits to satu ration, and mixed with soft soap to the consistence of cream. When diluted so as to be fit for use with a syringe, this has been found an efficacious substitute for fumigation in the case of mealy bug, scale, red spider, etc. Leaks in Boilers. Get one ounce muriatic acid, add what scraps of sine it will dissolve, then add one-third water, cork bottle tight, scrape clean round the leak, wash thoroughly with the preparation, then melt and apply soft-solder. Every kind of tin or copper vessel can De mended in this way. A Cheap Bluing. Quarter of an ounce of oxalic acid, half ounce Prussian blue, dissolved in a quart of soft water. ErHoion. How a Daneurt Widow was Brought to See Her Bereavement im a New Light. An elderly man with peaked features, large watery eyes and an at tire of dilapidated respectability, called at a Danbury bouse last Friday morn ing for a "lunch." He said he was travelling from Boston to Buffalo, at which latter place he had great expec tations. He sat down at the kitchen table, with his long legs coiled np under It, and his long arms spread out upon It, while his ponderous nose stood out like a grease spot on a pair of white pants. The woman of the house brought him a plate of bread and meat and a bowl of coffee. While she was placing the things he noticed that she wore a black dress and a lock of pallor. "Had a death, madam?" he softly In quired as he squared himself for the re past. "Yes, sir." "Lately?" "Last Tuesday," she answered, faintly. "I was sure of It, Father? mother? sister? brother?" he asked, taking up a piece of meat with one hand, and slapping it appetlzlngly upon a piece of bread in the other. "My hiMband, sir," she said, draw ing out a handkerchief, while her Up quivered. She looked so white and sad and drooping as she sat there, that his heart was touched. "Did he die a natural death ?" be asked, softly chewing on the food and bending the full glance of bis large eyes upon her. "Yes, sir." "It's a bad thing In One so young as you to lose her protector. But he died a natural death, aud there is comfort In that." He slapped another piece of meat upon another piece or Dread and quie ly put his teeth torough them. "You know," he presently added, revolving the morsel in his mouth aud assuming an appearance of delicate cheerfulness, "that he died calmly with every want attended to, and loving hands to administer to him could 1 trouble you for a little mustard?" She wearily arose and got him the article. "There's comfort in that isn't there?" he continued, referring to the passing away of the deceased. "Yes," she said in a low tone, wiping her eyes. "Now you know, he said, looking in tently at her with his eyes, while, his hands spread the mustard, "it might have been much different and far worse He might have been run over by a train of coal cars and cut into pound lumps stuck full or gravel r" "1 know," said she, with a shiver. "Then, again, be might have been blown up in a defective saw-mill," said the stranger, taking another bite of the food, and gently closing his eyes as if the better to picture the irredeemable horror of this proposition, "and only about two-thirds of bim, and that badly damaged, ever returned to your agonized sight-" A low sob behind tbe handkerchief was the only response, while he opened his eyes in time to detect a fly making extraordinary efforts to shake Its hind- legs from tbe mustard, coming mecnan ically to the assistance of the insect, he said: "It is bad enough to lose him. I'll admit that, Xo one would be so cal loused as to deny that," he said, looking around iuquiringly, as if to make quite sure that no such a party was In sight. "Still, it could have been much worse, you know. He might have been pre maturely perforated with tbe ramrod of a cannon, and bad to have had chlo roform injected in him at an expense of 23 a day.

"Ob, there are a hundred ways he might have died,' he went on, taking a sweep with the knife at a ny, tn the ex uberance of his delight that things were as they were Instead of as they might have been, "lie might have perished in a fire and been dug out of the ruins the next day with a pickax. He might nave fallen on a two story building and struck, on his face and had to have gone through the funeral on his stomach. with weeping friends pressing the tost fond kiss on the back of bis head." Here the narrator shuddered himself at the awful prospect of such a catas trophe, while the bereaved woman agonizingly protested against his pro ceeding. "You'll admit it might have been worse?" he asked with undisguised anxiety. "Oh, yes, sir," she replied, wiping her eyes. "I'm glad of that," said he, exploring his under jaw with the fork. "Afflic tions will come, but If we try to think of those which are greater that have not come to us, then we are better able to bear those that do.

He paused au Instant, and then added, with touching solemnity. " These were his victuals, aud it would seem appro priate, as well as beautiful, to have them held in by his vestures." When he went away he had as a souvenir of departed worth something he could pull down if required so to do. Danburg Xeus. "I've got another, my dear," said Mr. Perkins as he hurried into the house: "If you were on the top of St. Paul's Church spire, on the back of a goose, how would you get down?" Mrs. Perkins thought she'd jump down, slide down the lightning rod, fly down on the goose, fall down, and then gave it up. w ny if you wanted to get 0010a. you'd pick it offhe goose," said Perkins exultantly. A young man having preached for bis bishop, was anxious to get a word of applause for his labor of love. The bishop, however, did not introduce tbe subject, and his younger brother was obliged to bait the hook for him. "I hope, Sir, I did not weary your people by the tength of my sermon to-day ?" "Xo, Sir; not at all, nor by the depth either." "Where's the bar?" asked a dirty looking stranger of the bell-boy of tbe hotel the other day. "What kind of a bar?" asked tbe latter.

Poor Johnny drew np the tape reins with which he was driving two chairs tandem, and called out in a loud whis per : "Get np-Whoa !" lint at length, tindine little pleasure in this surpressed amnsement, lie threw down his reins, and, laying his bands on his breast, said with a long breath : "Oh. mother. its full of noise in here, and it hurts me to keep it in ! Don't all little boys make & nniaM when thev play !" "Yes, Johnny, I believe they all do," replied tbe lady. "Oh. then, motherdear." cried Johnny in a winning tone, "please to let me be a little boy!" We will ioin poor Johnny heartily in this petition. Please, mothers, let your sons be little boys while they may. Time is bringing on apace life's toils and cares. Let them have a free and happy childhood, that when your heads are low in tbe grave they may poiut back to those days and say : "We were happy children, 'for there was always sunshine where our mot tier was. The Prophetic Itenru'rop.A delicate child, pale, and prematurely wise, was complaining on a hot morning that the poor dewdrops Dad been to nastily snatched away, and not teen allowed to glitter on the dowers like other hap pier dewdrops that live the whole night through, aud sparkle through the moonlight, and through the morning oo wards to noonday. "The sun," said the child, "has chased them away with his heat, or has swallowed them up in his wrath." Soon after came raiu and a rainbow, whereupon his father pointed upwards. "See," said be."tbere stand the dewdiops gloriously reset a glittering jewelry in the heavens; and tbe clownish foot tramples on them no more. By this, my child, thou art taught that what withers upon earth blooms again iu heaven." Thus the father spoke, aud knew not that be spoke prefiguring words; for soon af ter, the delicate child, with the mor ning brightness of his early wisdom waa exhaled, like a dewdrop, into hea ven.

If anything in the world will make any man feel badly, it is unquestion ably a quarrel. No man ever fails to thiuk less of himself after than before. It degrades him in his own eyes, and disgraces bim in the eyes of others, and, what is worse, blunts the sensibil ities on the one hand, and increases the power of passionate irritability on the other. The truth is, the more peacefully and quietly we get on, the better for our neighbors and for ourselves. In nine cases out of ten, the butter course is, if a man cheats you, cease to deal with bim ; if he is abusive, quit his company ; and if he slanders you, take care to live so that nobody will believe him. Lies nnchased will die; tires un fanned will burn out, and quarrels ne glected become as dull as the crater of an extinct volcano. Always tell the truth; you will find It easier than lying. He who gives a trifle meanly, Is far meaner than the trifle. Men looking at each other's faults should be merciful. If we seize too hastily we may have to drop as has tily. Experience is a torch lighted In the ashes of our delusions. Betier be upright with poverty than wicked with plenty. He who laughs at cruelty sets his heel on tbe neck of religion. Time never sits heavily upon us but when it is badly employed. Whatever you dis like In another, take care to correct in yourself. wrtBaBBkrtaa Ftefeeraaesu Impracticable as they are, od ' from agreeable to deal with in their aggressive independence, these North umbrian fishermen are eminently re spectable. We do not imagine ttat teetotalisfh has kept pace with dissent. Yet thev seem temperate in the sense oftheO'Gorman's definition, in one of his recent parliamentary orations, in asmuch, as they rarely take more liquor aboard than they can carry away with out inconvenience. Our windows com raauded the access to the tap room of" one of the ions ; and if the laudlord depended on his bar custom for bis livelihood, he must have been in a very bad way. Xo doubt they lay in pro vision of spirits among their sea-stores when they put out for a night s fashing; aud small blame to them, considering tbe work and the exposure. But the well-fed appearance of their comfort ably clothed families, with the snug furnishing of their cottage interiors, forbids the notion of their being given lo dissipation either at home or abroad. Yet their life is beset with unusual temptatious. It ia an alternation of seasons of dangerous exposure with prolonged periods of tantalizing inac tivity. They do not look the stamp of fellows to shrink from danger; but with'a certain a well ou, even when the weather is comparatively calm, they never think of putnugtosea. Then at Kedburnniouth none of tbe fishing boat cau be kept iu the estuary of the little river, because tbe strip of tumbling waier on the bar is nay or le-s a k ward at all times. The Ix.at are drawn np high aud dry on the open beach, to be run down on wheels for the launch wheu tbe state of the wea ther admits of it; while the neighbor ing villag-. of Emblehoe is feuced iu by ibeoutlyiug strata of flat rocks that show their alimy surface of blackened sea-weed aa soon as the tide is half way between flow andebK and which inmniM-iMl hv lahvtinths of crooked channels, ouly oue ot which is navigable at all times. Thus the ti-h-ing becomes very much t lottery, and is less profitable than formerly, although we believe tuat,ooeyearwiiii another, the returns are fairly good. The boats are owned in shares, the crews being occasionally made up by an extra band or two, who are paid oy a iwri-entaire on the catch. Wheu shoals of fish are off the coast, a siugle lucky bight will sometimes yield a sum almost iucredible 30 or even 40. as we have been assured. 1 bough our personal experience of Redburnuioutb usb is so unfavorable, there is a regular demand for it in the midland towns. Each little village has established its telegraph wire, and the bargains are arranged as the boats come iu. Un the other hand, many ot the venturee are almost blank, to say nothing of those davsor weeks on end wheu the men must kick their heels oo shore.cursing the weather or praying for a change. If this euforced idleness comes'hard ou men who have as little objection to work as its wages, yet, tbauks to their constitutional stolidity, they succeed iu carrying themselves as if they were sublimely inditlerent. At KeUouru mouth they have their regular prom enade on a little bluff overhanging tbe harbor, where by turns and watches, under a short half dozen yards ot shel tering wall, they smoke their pipes ou a quarter deck walk that seems regu lated upon the dimensions of their tiny li-hing craft. Not that, taking it all iu all. they have cause to couiplaiu of waut of excitement. Unless the wea ther is absolutely settled, they never put out without riskiugtheir lives more or less, and putting their property in appreciable jeopardy, tor should a gale spring up off the land, there is no retting back to their villages. They may have to cut from their nets aud run down before the wind like a crip pled sea towl. for there are no harbors easily accessible nearer than the shel ter of the Frith of Forth. UlackKovd's Majazine. Care of Pavteat aaMl E samel Leather. One of the most expensive ar ticles used by carriage manufactu rers is patent leather, yet it is often allowed to lay around in tbe trimming shop in the most careless manner aud become damaged in various ways. The enameled or glazed surface being com posed of materials that crack easily if subjected to cold, and stick if kept long iu a warm place, it is important that it should oe careiuny rareu tor wune in stock. All thin, soft stock, such as dash.railingand enamel leather, should be rolled. Most manufacturers olserve this rule with their glazed stink, but they almost invariably fold their top leather. The repeated folding of large hides, in order t reduce the buudie to a convenient size tor handling, causes the formation of creases, and at every cross fold the enamel is injured to such an extent as to produce blemishes and seriously interfere with cutting large pieces. Another great objection is that the enamel, being cramped by the fold, cracks noon being straightened out. particularly in cold weather. The pro per manner of caring for euaniel lea ther is to lay the enamel sides together, with a sheet of thin paper beteen tbeiu to prevent the glazed surfaces from coming in contact with each other, aud roll instead of foldiug them. In this way no creases are formed, and the en tire surface is kept as perfect as when first made. If but a siugle hide is put away, cover the surface of the enamel with thin paper, and roll up in like man ner. Heavy leather should be bung up in closets secure from dust. Leather made in cool weather is better than that made in the hot summer months; it is a little more liable to be affected by beat aud to become sticky ,but is less likely to crack and shriuk. Many buyers refuse to pay for boxes. and ha?e their leather shipped in large rolls or bundles; tbe result is that tbe ends become more or less in jured by being bent, particularly in cold weather, when the enamel is easily cracked. There is scarcely a carriage shop in the country in which more or less waste does not occur from care lessness in handling or storing, for which there can benoexcuse. No man would allow a dollar hill to be kicked around tbe workshop door, but the de struction of four or five square feet of leather seems to be considered a mat ter of comparatively little importance. Few carriage makers fail in business who buy carefully and take good care of what they purchase. Fraa a Drwa-glat tiarna Ageait. Lewlsburg, Union Co., Pa.. Dec. 23, '74. Messrs. Selh H".
