RtiDorts from the British representa tives' abroad, showing the earliest aces at winch niarnajre ran be legally so lemnized in each of the states of the continent of Enrope, have been pre sented to the House of Commons in pursuance of their address dated June 15. 1874. In Austria the age of discre tion, both for males and females, is fourteen, and this period of life mast be reached on born sides neiore a mar riage can be valid. In Hungary, how ever, the marriage ceremonies are en tirely ecclesiastical, ami males of the Roman Catholic confession cannot contract marriage until they have com pleted their fourteeenth year, nor fe males till they are twelve years of age. The Orthodox Oreek Church follows the same rule : but Trorestants const der males under the age of 18 and fe males under the age of 15 unable to contract valid marriages. In Cislei- thania. Jews are subject to the civil law ; but in Hungary there is no re striction as to the age at which they mav marry. In Kussia, 18 years for males and 16 for females are the peri ods of life at which marriages may be legally contracted. In Turkey there is no general law on the subject of marriageable ages. The Italian law fixes 18 years for males and 15 years for females as the earliest time of life at which marriages may be solemnized. Prussia, by the statute of December. 172, sanctions marriage in the case of males on the completion of their eigh teenth year, and the fourteenth year in the case of females, no exception being allowed in these provisions. The law ia France states the earliest age at which marriages can be contracted to be eighteen years in the case of males and fifteen in the case of females, bat powers of dispensation are served by the code. I'nder the old monarchy, boys could marry at the ago of four teen, and girls at twelve ; as under an cient Koman and even Athenian law. The Kelgian code is the same a the French in determining the age of eighteen and litteen severally as those at which men aDd women may marry, and in having a right of dispensation. In Greece, males cannot marry before fourteen years of age, nor females be fore twelve, while in the Ionian Is lands, sixteen and fourteen yeirs are respectively the legal ages. A bill has been, or is about to le, introduced into the Atheniau Chamber, appointing fif teen as the earliest age formates, and twelve the earliest for females. By the law of June. INTO, the legal ages of marriage in Spain is fourteen for males and twelve for females. It is the same in Portugal, with this qualification, that minors that is. persons of either sex under tweut y-one years of age cannot contract marriage without con sent of their parents. In Saxony the legal age for the marriage of males is 18, for females 10 years. According to the amended paragraph of the new German civil marriage bill the ages would be respectively twelve and six teen, instead of eighteen and fourteen, as in the draft of the bill. In Kouiua nia the legal age of marriage is eigh teen years in the case of males and fif teen in that of females. There is much variation of the marriage law in Swit zerland as to the ages of contracting Earties, which in some cantons is as igh as twenty years lor males and sev enteen for females, and in others as low as fourteen for males and twelve for females. Consent of parents is also required np to twenty live years in I'ri. in Schall'house, in Appenzell, in Tessiu, and in Geneva. Spanish Prison Indomtry. The Spanish Prison industry system is: (1.) Every man who knows a trade may work at his own trade and no other. (2.) Every man who does not know a trade may be apprenticed to other prisoners' who are exerts, and thus learn one. ('!.) Those who are too ob stinate or too stupid to learn a trade are to go and sweep the roads, and wheel barrows of stones, and repair bad highways, c. Cast your eyes round the quadrangle. There is the barber's ; here the shoemaker's ; there, the carpenter's ; here, the basket maker's shops, and so on. We enter the shoemaker's shop ; here are some twenty or thirty plying their trade ; but pass into the shop of the sandal makers, and lo. here are well-nigh a hundred men at work, making strong hempen sandals for the pauisli sol diery. 1 bought a pair ot beautifully made sandals for eighteen nence. and asked the worker how much he made by his trade. I be comamlante here in terposed, and said : "He is a workman of the first-class ; he has to pay thirty reals (a little over six shillings ot En glish money) "to the prison. A flash of color mantled in the prisoner's cheeks, and he said : "To the State, you mean. Each man who can work at a trade pays, according to his capa bilities, a fixed sum from his earnings toward bis support in prison ; of the rest of his earnings he takes one-half himself, and the remaining half is saved by the prison authorities, and given to him on his release. What does be do, you will ask, with his earn ings, or rather that part of them which he is allowed to appropriate for hisown nse T He buys food, clothing, and other little extras, or stores up the money in his pocket ! Keying some few articles of prison work, I had noth ing but gold. Never did I dream of the possibility of one of these poor fel lows who surrounded me giving me change for a gold piece ; but in a moment, observing my confusion, one of them said, pulling out a handful of silver, "Here you are, Senorito, here's lots of change !" The hours of work are from seven to one, and from two to live. From visiting the various work shops we passed into the school-room ; here was an intellectual and evidently true-hearted schoolmaster at work ; he is paid by the eomandante, and his labors have been so well appreciated by these poor ignorant fellows, that in eighteen months eighty grown men who knew not a letter when they en tered the prison gates are now able to read fairly well, and to write a little. This fact surely, w ill give some idea of the slow but sure, and steady under current of good and honest work of improvement going on throughout the Peninsula. Tctnftle Bar. A Cold.Countrw Dress. That last was a hot-country dress. Now you shall hear how the natives of Siberia array themselves. It's cold up there I understand, and that is why they dress so warmly. Two complete suit of fur from neck to heels one suit with the hair side in, the other with the hair side out. A hood. tied under the chin, is made of the fur from a reindeer's head, and besides the holes for eyes and mouth, it has often the ears of the departed deer sticking up on top of the man's head. He's an object to behold; but he is comfortable, and he doesn't care if be does look like some vild animal. His wife dresses in almost exactly the same 6tyl- so do his childrnn; in fact, everybody does. It's the fnshion. St. Skholat. AfiKICrUTOAU What rr Pats to Do. It pays to manage the farm with economy, and this is brought about, not so much by economizing in one Important particu lar, as in many. It will pay to keep the fence corners clean, so that grass will grow in them, and so that your neighbor will not take offence because of the thistle and other foul seeds that vou allow to mature and find their way into his cleanly kept fields. It will pay to build cheap gates, as they will save enough valuable time in the busy sea son of the year to pay the expenses of constructing them many times over. It will always pay to have wood and water handy and near the kitchen. It will pay to build the dwelling house with the view of saving steps. In constructing and remodeling their bouses, farmers would do well to con sult their wives, for they would sug gest ideas by which the home could be made more convenient. It will pay to use more paint, indoors and out. It will do to encourage the children. Give them an occasional day for recreation. Give the boys a colt or a calf to raise, and let them have the money it is sold for, to invest in some way that meets with your approval. It will pay to make home so attractive that it will al ways be pleasant for the man to think over his boyhood days. A pleasant home will mike better boys and better men. It will pay to supply the house with an abundance of good reading matter, such as agricultural papers etc. and as good a library as one can afiord. It will pav to plant and cultivate fruit trees of all kinds. Tlenty of good f ru It promotes health and longevity. Finally it will pay to do all the things we have enumerated, and an hundred others that are now neglected, which many of us would do if we could only take time to think. Coleman' i Sural World. Fattening a Calf. A lady corres pondent writing to the Germantown Tel egraph, gives her method of raising veal calves without feeding the cream with the milk. "My principal object is to show far mers and others that they can raise or even veal their calves without giving them the new milk fresh from the cow. The best food to fatten a calf, without whole milk, is oil-meal, molasses and skim-milk for the first two weeks, after which a little oat or barley-meal may be used. A calf can be made to weigh 120 to 140 pounds at four weeks old, never having had any new milk after the cow's milk was good. The oil-meal should be scalded and allowed to form a thick mucilage before eating mixed with the skimmed milk. The molasses may be added directly to the milk, and the whole may be given blood-warm. The proper quantity for a young calf is a tablespoonful of oil-meal, the same of molasses, divided into three parts ior one day's feed added to the milk. After the first week, it may be gradually in creased, and at the commencement of the third week a teaspoonrul ol oil-meal and molasses may be given to each feed ; a quart of boiling water being turned on to the meal over night, and also in the morning to form a mucilage, and a spoonful ot oat or barley meal should be added, but this should be cooked. At present prices, the whole feed will not cost more than 1 for five weeks, and an early calf of the weight men tioned, will bring from $10 to $12. I raised one late in the season, two years ago, by the above method, that cost less than $1 for feed, aside from the skimmed milk, and it brought nearly $10. Should they have scours, give them a tea made by boiling corn-cobs in water and add to the milk." Xitrogexoi-s Mantres. The chief supply of nitrogen on the farm is found in the urine of animals, the dung of fowls and skim milk, unless a fellow has money to swap for fish scrap, woolen dust or some other manufac turer's waste containing nitrogen. In saving urine (considering labor and the chance of evaporation) that is most completely economical which Talis fresh upon the grass. Our summer barn yards waste nitrogen extravagantly, It may be better to have a movable shelter to milk under in the pasture, and fetch the milk rather than the cows home. The hennery should be so dry as to cure the droppings of the fowls while fresh and unlermented While we have been using skim milk as a special fertilizer, pork has about doubled in price. Whoever has fix tures for the business will feel encour aged to make more pork, but those who have hue fruit plantations lacking ni trogen mav see a better market for their waste milk by spreading it around their trees anil plants. Hartford (Comm.) tourant. What Gen. Washington Said. On the loth of December, 1779, Washing ton wrote to the manager of his farm : Economy in all things is as commenda ble in the manager as it is beneficial and desirable to the employer; and, on a farm, it shows itself in nothing more evidently, or more essentially, than in not suffering the provender to be wasted but, on the contrary, in taking care that every atom of it be used to the best advantage; and, likewise, in not per mitting the plows, harness and other implements of husbandry, and the gears belonging to them, to be unne cessarily exposed, trodden under loot, run over by carts, and abused in other respects. More good i derived from attending to the minutiae of a farm, than strikes people at first view; and examing the farm-yard fences, and looking into the fields to see that notn- ing is there but what is allowed to be there, and oftentimes is the means of producing much good, or at least of avoiding much evil." Live and Salt on Orchards. Wm. D. Shipman, of Hartford, Ct, has made an ejeperiment in the use of oyster shell lime with salt about apple and pear trees. A liberal dressing was given to the garden plat in which the trees stood, early in the spring, and shaded in. (About one, a Winter N'ellis pear tree, it was omitted, and the result was pears of not half th size of the same kind on other trees.) The crop of fruit was large and of most ex cellent quality, from all the trees thus treated. The fruit on one or two trees the previous year was so small and gnarly that they were destined for fire wood ; but, treated in the way described these trees produced fruit, large, fair, delicious and abundant. Corn. Constant cultivation is very important tor this crop. Xo other shows so much benefit from it. Our plans is to cultivate on the level, going close to the rows. If there are many weeds in the rows between the stalks, we throw a little earth to the plants to smother the weeds. Afterwards, it necessary, this soil may may be leveled with the hoe at the last weeding. Hill ing corn is not, as some farmers think, needed to steady the plants. Fresh Grass and Salt. Cows in spring, when first turned out to pasture require salt more frequently than at any other season but in the hurry of spring work they are very likely to be neglected. The best way to insure a supply is to put a quantity in a box under cover, or where the animals can at all times reach it without assistance. In this way all danger from neglect through carelessness of laborers, will be avoided. TorNO trees will suffer from the hot sun and dryness. See to the mulch ; if one is not already put on, lose no time in applying it, and replace any that may have been disturbed by the wind or otherwise. If a young tree seems to be suffering, give It an extra mulch, and if it has a long naked trunk, tie some hay or straw around to shade it. Abundant crops cannot be grown on the same land in succession unless, fer tilizing matter is returned to it in equivalent proportions to those taken away. Gas Emulator. A new and ingeni ous form of gas regulator has been de vised by a Scotch inventor. The wet governor consists of a bell working in a tank of water, and, around the bot tom of the bell a float is made, which tends to raise it when immersed ; and from the top and centre of the hell is suspended a valve, the seat of which is fixed on the top of the vertical inlet pipe of the governor. On the bottom of the valve is arranged a closed tube, about one and a half times its diame ter, and this works inside a tube which communicates with the water by means of a pipe passing laterally through the vertical inlet and outlet pipes, and fixed to the same by nuts. The object of this arrangement is to give a pump ing action to the valve when it moves, which tends to steady the bell and ob viate bubbles cr oscillation by the gas waves. Another important feature of this device is the manner in which the gov ernor is acted on so as to increase, di minish, or maintain pressure. In any part of the inlet gas-pipe a small tube is fixed, and, in the casing of the gov ernor as near the governor, too, as possible another tube is fixed. These tubes are connected to a small dry or wet governor. Another tube connects the chamber above the bell with the outlet pipe, and into this tube is inser ted a disk of tin, through which a small hole is pierced. Instead of load ing or unloading the bell of the large governor, according to the customary method, with weights, the small gov ernor only requires to lie adjusted, to give any desired pressure. Xew Caledonia AVIrf. Through the explorations of M. Garnier, New Cale donia now yields a green mineral, con sisting of hydrosilicate of nickel and of magnesia, which appears destined to acquire considerable industrial impor tance. The mineral is found in the midst of very abundant masses of ser pentine at various points of the island. and in association witn enpnotiues, ai orites. aniDbibolites. and other niagne- sian rocks. Sometimes this combina tion of nickel shows itself on other rocks in the form of a fine green cover ing; at others, it penetrates the rocks and colors them intensely ; ana again it is found in both filaments and no dules. As might be expected, the nic kel is accompanied by iron, cobalt, and chromium, almost invariably. 1 he me tallurgical treatment proposed by MM. Christophle and honillet is quite sim ple. The material dissolved in hydro chloric acid is precipitated by lime un der form of a nearly pure nickel oxide. Keduction by charcoal easily gives a metal iw percent, tine, incomparably purer than that obtained from the sul phuretted and arsenious ores hitherto employed. It is not. however, in the free state that the metal is used. As combined with copper in the propor tion of 16 per cent nickel against 85 of copper, a white malleable and very fine alloy is produced, excellently sui ted tor ail metallurgical manipulations. Ingenious Astronomical Instrument. 1 lie hefiostat is the name given 10 what appears to be one of the most in geniously devised as well as useful as tronomical instruments. It is made from a marine clock, capable of run ning like a watch in any position ; the hands beinir removed, a pulley of one- half-inch diameter is slipped on to the arbor of the hour hand, and on the woodwork at the top of the clock are fastened tearings for a small shaft, carrying at its upier end the plane mirror intended to follow the move ment of the sun. On this shaft is a nnllev one inch in diameter, deriving motion from the pulley on the hour hand arbor by a cord. A snpMrt at tached to the side of the clock carries a subsidiary mirror directly above the revolving mirror. The clock is hung on a board hinged so as to be capable of elevation to an anfile equal to the completement of the latitude. The face of the clock is turned to the north. The revolving mirror is adjusted to the declination of the sun so as to re flect the ray to the north, and the ray is thus received on the subsidiary mir ror, which reflects it in any direction that may be required. Messrs. Rarral and Salvetat. in a me morial presented to the Academy of Sciences of Paris, refer to the fact that a large porportion of the wool impor ted from Australia and South America contains a greater or less percentage of vegetable matter mixed with it, which of course is injurious to its qual ity, and which usually resists the me chanical means of separation. An minor-rant nrohlem. therefore, has been the destruction and elimination of the vegetable fiber by agencies that do not affect the wool. In summing np the results of their experiments, and con sidering those of other workers in the same field, Barral and Salvetat re mark that the cellulose and woody liber can be decomposed under the ac tion of several chemical agents, provi ded that the tissue, dried in the air af ter soaking, is then raised in a stove to a temperature of about i-A) deg. r These agencies ace sulphuric acid, by drochlorate of alumina, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, chlorides of zinc, of iron, of tin, and of copper; nitrates of copper, and magnesia, and of iron ; suipuates oi iiu auu oi aiuuiiua, . Professor Cliapman, of University College. Toronto, has published an in teresting paper on the "purpose" of the saitness ot the sea-water. Atter giv ing reasons why be does not accept the usually received opinions, he nrges the theory that the object of the saitness is to regulate evaporation, it any tem porary cause raises the amount of sa line matter in the sea to more than its normal value, evaporation goes on more and more slowly. If the valne be depreciated by the addition of fresh water in nndue excess, the evapora ting power is more and more increased. He gives the results of various experi ments in reference to evaporation on weighed quantities of ordinary rain water, and water holding in solution 2.6 per centum of salt. The excess of loss of the rain-water compared with the salt solution, was. for the first twenty-fonr hours, 0.54 per centum ; at the close of forty-eiuht hours, 1.40 per centum ; and so on in an increasing ratio. lo Remove S Urate of Silver Stains. The following method of removing in delible ink and other silver stains, without the use of cyanide of potas sium, is given by Grimm in the Poly teenisches A'otublatt : Chloride of cop per is first applied to the tissue : it is next washed with hyposulphite of soda solution, and afterwards with water. It is said that this may be employed on colored woven cotton tissues. For white cottons and linens, dilute solu tions of permanganate of potash and hydrochloric acid, followed by the hy posulphite of soda and clear water, is preferable. For cleaning the hands, we nse iodine dissolved either in iodide of potassium or in alcohol, followed by aqua ammonia. An account comes from G lessen, in Germany, of the very rapid growth of a fungus observed by M. Hofuiann in July 1875. The mushroom was a speci men of Bovistut pigantia, one of the largest of the indigenous species. At the beginning of the observations it was about the size of a small child's IiaaiI. and it iu always nearly snheri- cal in shape. Its girth on the ltith of July was 20 centimetres, and on the &id of the same month it was sixty-two centimetres. During the time of ob servation there was rain daily. To Bleach Snonae. Soak it well in dilute muriatic acid for twelve hours. Wash well with water, to remove the lime, then immerse it in a solution of byposulpbate of soda, to which dilate muriatic atic acid has been added a moment before. After it is bleached sufficiently, remove it, wash again, and dry it. It may thus be bleached al most snow white. The pressure in lbs. per souare inch produced by centrifugal fans canals the square of the velocity of the tips of the fan in feet per second divided by V7, 300. : MXESTTC. It has long been known that It Is In judicious for any one to go Into water to bathe just after eating a full meal, but it is not so well known that the Jtractice may result in death. This atter fact seems to have been demon strated by the recent death in a bath at Bristol, England, of a boy thirteen years old. He had never had a fit, and is believed to have been in perfect health. When found in the water the crown of bis head was just above the surface, and be was standing in a stoop ing position, with his face just under the water. At the place where he was the water was only three feet four inches deep, while the boy's height was four feet nine inches. The temperature of the water was 75 degrees. The medi cal testimony disclosed the fact that the deceased had eaten heartily just before entering the water, or at least bad not given his food time to digest. He had vomited a large quantity of food, and when found his mouth and throat were full. The opinion was expressed In the medical testimony, and endorsed by the verdict of the jury, that death resulted from epilepsy, brought on by the danger ous practice of entering the water im mediately after eating a meal. Restoring Faded Dresses. Rusty black goods of any material except silk can be restored witb slight cost and little trouble. Collect aU the old black worsted material you have, and put it into about two pailfnls of boiling suds in which have been dissolved two spoonfuls of the extract of logwood, and the same of copperas; boil the goods five minutes stirring all the time; drain, and rinse out all the dye, then dip in a pail of water In which an ounce of gum Arabic has been dissolved. Iron when half dry, on the wrong side. Faded drab or slate colors can be re stored by saving the grounds and slops of the teapot until you have a pailful; boil in clear water and finish same as the black. The bark of the beech tree colors a fine drab, set with copperas, and neither will fade. They color cotton as well as woolen. The" Vrungisfs Circular gives a recipe for rat paste: Take of phosphorus, one ounce; boiling water, twenty ounces; wheat meal, twenty ounces; melted tallow, twenty ounces; peanut or cotton-seed oil, ten ounces; sugar or molasses, fifteen ounces. Place the phosphorus and the boiling water In a large mortar, and when the phosphorus has melted, add the flour by portions, constantly stirring with a wooden pestle. When the mixture is nearly cold, add the tallow melted at a very low heat, the oil, and lastly the molas ses. Stir well until the mass is quite cold, allow it to rest for twenty-four hours, and pour into convenient bottles or air-tight pots. To Cook Suuabh. Summer squashes, if very young, may be boiled whole if not, they should be pared, quartered and the seeds taken out. When boiled very tender, take them np, put them in a strong cloth and press out all the water mash them, salt and butter them to taste. The neck part of the winter squash is the best. Cut it in narrow strips, take off the rind, and boll the squash in salt and water until tender then drain off the water and let the squash steam over a moderate fire or 10 or 12 minutes. It is good not masueu. If mashed, add a little butter. Those anxious to get rid of freckles can make a compound which commonly removes them If they will grate horse radish fine, let it stand a few hours in buttermilk, and strain it and use it to wash night and morning, ur squeeze the juice of a lemon iu a goblet of water and use in the same way. The regime should be attended to, and should lie of such a nature that the bowels and kidneys will do their duty. Daily bath ing with much friction should not be neglected, and the Turkish bath taken occasionally, if it is convenient. Curb of Crocp. A lady writer of professed experience gives the follow ing advice to mothers whose children have the croup : First get a piece of chamois skin, make a little bib, cut out the neck and sew on tapes to tie it on ; then melt together some tallow and pine tar; rub some of this in the chamois and let the child wear it all the time. My bat y had the croup whenever she took cold, and since I put on tne chamois I have had no more trouble. Renew with tar occasionally. Ccrrant Jei.lt. Proportions, one pound of sugar to each pint of juice. Squeeze the currants and boil the juice twenty minutes; then add the sugar, which should be heating while the juice boils. Stir well together until the sugar is all dissolved, which will probably be as soon as boiling begins again, and your jelly will then be done. The color is brighter and the flavor much liner than iu the old-fashioned way of boiling sugar and juice together. This receipt has been well tested. Ornamental Dumplings. Two cup fulsof sour milk, one of cream, a tea spoonful of soda dissolved in the milk, turn into your flour and mix the same as for biscuit; take the cores out of some nice pippin or greening apples, fill the cavity with nutmeg and sugar, or mar malade if you have it; roll out the dough ; have some nice knitted cloths ready ; wrap thedumplings up in them ; draw them tightly and boil one hour, cr steam one hour and a half; eat witb hard sauce. Knto Cakes. The following is from a cook book over two hundred years old: "Take a pound of flour, three quarter? of a pound of butter, half a pound of sugar, and half a pound of currants well cleansed; rub your Duller well into your flour, and put in as many yolks of eggs as will lithe them, then put in your sugar, currants, and shred in as much mace as will give them a taste; so make them up in little round cakes, and butter the paper you lay them on." Xew Rick Pcddino. Mix four large teaspoonfuls of rice flour with half a pint cold milk, and stir it into a quart of boiling milk until it boils again ; then remove, stir in butter the size of an egg and add a little salt; let it cool and add four eggs well beaten, two thirds cup of white sugar, grated nut meg, half wineglass of brandy or other flavoring; bake in a buttered dish twenty minutes. To be eaten hot with sauce. Hastt Lemon Pie. Make and bake an undercrust. Meanwhile, put in a nice stewpan juice and a little grated peel of one lemon, one cup of sugar, one teaspoon corn starch, yolks of two eggs, and a small piece or butter. Mir this till it bolls, then pour into the crust. Beat whites of the two eggs to a foam, sweeten and flavor a little ; pour it over the pie, and brown slightly in the oven. Pudding. One quart of milk, half cup of white sugar, one teaspoouful of rose or vanilla extract, one teaspoonrul of butter, half a cup of rice; merely wash the rice, and after adding it to the sweetened pudding, put in the oven, occasionally stirring for the first ten minutes. It will be of the consistency of ice-cream, and very delicate. Bake until browned on top. Almond Sponge Cake. Pound half a pound of sweet almonds and one ounce of bitter blanch ; beat half a pound of sugar with the yolks of seven eggs and two ounces of flour ; beat the whites of five eggs to a stiff froth, and add the last thing before baking. Setting Colors. Blue calicoes, which fade so easily may have the colors set by washing them the first time in salt water. After this, and ever after, they may be washed in the common way. l 10 sous. Hex an Nature cr Xewbern. X. C It la the same here as In Cairo or Xew Jersey. The other day, when a Tarheel with sunken eyes and nign cneet uoucs sat down on the steps of a grocery be side several others, be sighed heavily and asked : "Gentlemen, if any of you round a five on the sidewalk, would you bunt for the owner?" "I would," came from each individual with promptness and despatch. "Haven't any of you lost a five, have you t " anxiously continued the man. "I have," answered one, and the echo went all along the line. "Describe her, gentlemen," he re marked. One said his had a figure "5" on it. Another said his had a picture of De Soto discovering the Mississippi river. A third said the words "U. S." were plain to be seen on the bill that fell out of his vest pocket. "Gentlemen, this five don't tally," mournfully remarked the Tarheel. "Xone of you have hit the description within a mile and a sand bar." "Let's see it," asked two or three at once. "It's a five, and I found it on the walk," he whispered, holding out his hand. The five was a nickel. Some of the crowd leaned back and held their bands on their outraged hearts, while others rose np, carefully brushed their coat tails, and said it was time to go home. Only one of the victims seemed to ap preciate the situation. He chuckled, and gurgled and gasped, and asked the stranger what he would take. "Whisky straight," was the prompt reply. "So would I if I ever drank," said the citizen. Self-sacrificing. This is a true story. The happy circumstances oc curred on last Sunday evening. He escorted her to and from church, and upon arriving at her home their discus sion of the sermon and the extreme heat suggested an Invitation, readily accepted by Charles, that thev step into the house and partake ot a cooling glass of lemonade, bbe led bun to tne uining room, and there found naughty brother Beu about to squeeze the last lemon in the house for his own Individual bene fit! Calling him aide she Induced Ben, by means of sundry threats and prom ises, to dissect that lemon and make Charlie and herself a glass. A self sacrificing thought struck her! "Xo, Ben," said she, "put the juice of the whole lemon into Charlie's glass and bring me a glass of water. He won't notice it there is no light iu the parlor!" Ben was making one good strong lemonade, as directed, when Charlie quietly slipped out and remarked: -1 say, Ben! put the juice of the entire lemon in your sister's glass and bring me some ice water there is no light iu the parlor aid she won't norice it!" Ben's forte is in obeying or Jets. With a merry twinkle in his eye he drank the lemonade, then carried them each a glass of water, which they drank with much apparent relish, asking each other between slp, "if it was sweet enough!" Aud naughty brother Ben, with the taste of that lemonade iu his mouth, stood out In the hall aud laughed till his sides ached, to hear llit iii assure each other that it was "jut right! so palatable and so refreshing!" An Old Bachelor, very fond of geo logical studies had an old housekeeper. The minister, meeting ber one day in the road, asked, "Well. Lizzie, howls your master ?"

A gentleman stopping at a fruit stand and inquiring the price of some pine apples displayed was dissatisfied, and said so. The dealer replied that he didn't make any profit on the fruit, anyhow, keeping it merely for show. The possible purchaser then remarked that pineapples were not very good eat ing, and the dealer answered that pine apples were nice if they were only fixed rightly sliced thin, soaked in sugar for a few hours, seasoned with lemon and nutmeg, and then taken in sherry wine. The only remark of the other man as he turned on his heel and walked away was: "Why, turnips would be good that way !" Smuggling in the Olden Times. The Rev. Donald Macleod, in a note to the lite of his brother, relates au anecdote illustrative of smuggling in the good old days. An old woman whose "habit and repute" were notorious was being tried by the Sheriff of Argyleshire. When the charge had been fairly proved, and it fell to the judge to pronounce the sentence, he became unusually fidgety, and thus addressed the prisoner "I dare say, my poor woman, it's not very often you have fallen into this fault?" "Deed no, shirra," she readily replied, "I ha'ena made a drap since you wee keg I sent yoursel." "Why do you walk so crooked, John ?" said Mrs. Henry, with sarcastic intona tion, as her husband came in from the "club." "Boots tight, my dear." "Humph ! If the boots are half as tight as you, John, they'll be quite willing to go to bed with you and I rather think they will." "There's a gal for you," muttered John, as he struggled up stairs. "Can't fool her. (hie) Gesh she knows where them bootsh goin' sleep." Some old fraud says, "Get up with the sun if you want to be healthy and wise." It is easy enough to follow this advice in the winter, when the sun acts sensibly, and doesn't get up until seven o'clock ; but when he commences to get up at four o'clock, we have observed that the wisest men give him about two hours start, and let their wives accumu late health and wisdom. An honest farmer was invited to at tend a party at the village doctor's one evening, when there was music, vocal and instrumental. Ou the following morning he met one of the guests, who said, "Well, farmer, how did you enjoy yourself last night? Were not the quar tettes excellent?" "Why, really sir, I can't say," said he, "for I didn't taste 'em ; but the pork chops were the finest I ever ate !" Succession in Office. During an examination of a class of youngsters the teacher asked, "What is a monarchy?" and was immediately answered by a bright little boy. "A country governed by a king." "Who would rule if the king should die?" "The queen." And if the queen should die, who then would be ruler?" "The kuave," was the reply. , A touno ladt boasting that the choir of the church which she attended was unusually good, her mischievous brother called out: "I say, Sis; is your quirt foolscap?" "Xo," she indignantly re sponded, "it is a paid quartette." "Ob," said Tom, "then it is commercial note." Do toc trust anybody nowadays?" asked a beautiful young lady of a jeweler, as she toyed with the diamonds in a case before her.

Samuel Colt, who, in his life-time, was sometimes inclined to be a trifle pompous. When he was building dwelling houses for the workmen employed in his great pis tol factory, he one day encountered a bov nicking no chips on his grounds. " bat are you doiug here V he said grurlly. "Picking up chips, sir," replied the youngster, evidently unawed by the great presence. "Perhaps," said the Colonel, drawing himself up with great dignity ; "you don't know who I am. I am Colonel Samuel Colt, and 1 live in that big house np yonder." The boy straitened np, swelled oat, and answered : "Perhaps yon don't know who I am. I'm Patrick "Murphy, and I live in that little shanty down yonder,'' pointing in the direction. "Sonny,' said the Colonel, blandly, patting the boy ou the bead, "go on and pick np all the chips yon want, and when you get out, come back for more." Home-Maile Beauty. The more they use their muscles, the stronger, and consequently the more beautiful, my girls aud boys will grow. They are something like trees and plants. The more these are stirred by the wind the more rapidly the sap Hows through their trunks and branches, and the stronger and more beautiful they be come. Boys and girls have this advan tage : they can exercise just when they wish, and need never wait for the wind to come and blow them. St. .Virioi. exclaimed Elmathan Dorkins, Jr., to his respected sire, "pa, what's the difference between an elephant and a tree V Mr. Dorkins said something about both having trunks, hut was scornfully interrupted by his offspring, who shouted : "Cause the tree leaves in Spring and the elephant leaves when the menagerie leaves." A little boy being asked by his Sunday-school teacher to give an account of the Garden of Eden, said it was "a nice big place, full of beautiful things, with a man put in it to watch it, and keeping everybody from pasting bills on the trees." Flomrrs In Ancient Times. Flowers played no unimportant part in the public and private life of the Greeks and Koinans. At weddings and funerals, at their feasts and festivals, upon state occasions, in their divina tions and incantations, and in the wor ship of the gods, flowers were used with a lavish hand. At a marriage the bride and her attendants were crowned with garlands. The dead were decorated with flowers, and flowers were placed upon the tomb. All are familiar with the story of the Greek lover who placed upon the grave of his mistress a basket of acanthus flowers, the leaves of which, being pressed down by a tile, grew gracefully over the sides of the baket, and gave rise to the first idea of the ornate Corinthian capital. It was cus tomary for the guests at feasts to appear with crowns of flowers upon their heads; flowers decked the walls and tables and were profusely strewn over the floors of apartments. Victors in the Olympic and other games were crowned withchaplets of flowers; no religious ceremony was complete with out them ; while each god had his ap propriate floral emblem. The Galax.

Iu these most pleasant so journs retired those hermits, cenobites, and anchorets, and there assembled those legions of monks, which consti tute one of the most prominent fea tures of the Middle Ages. Cloister lite was a refuge from the world for all those who, having made a sad exiri euce of life, or satisfied theirani bilious desires, wished to end their days peace fully. But there was also another class who took shelter in those tranquil and retired places, these were the men who, abhorring the struggles of the world, wished for leisure that they might devote it to noble and intellec tual pursuits. Hence monachism exer cised a great influence upon the learn ing and the art of Italy aud Europe. Macuntlan's Magaztne. Irladie Admonitions.

Avoid evil speaking, and give your counsel to him who will accept it. Seek the company of the best men. Keep thy tongue carefully ; it may honor it may also condemn thee. II thou wax augry speak little, and that little not vehemently. Men would give gold sometimes to buy back a passion ate word, and I know of nothing that so destroys unity as the exchange of evil language, especially in the moment of strife ; aud there is no nobler, no higher motive, than that by which a man can keep his own tongue from cursing, slandering, and other foolish prate. There are other things to be avoided like the fiend himself as sen sual excesses, games, wagers and other improprieties and vices. These are the roots of many worse evils, and un less great care be taken, will hand thee over to great shame aud sin.''
