The quiet water lily
Floats on the lakelet blue ;

The fair moon amileUi on ber
Through all the aommer night.
And on her fragrant boaom
roars all ber golden light.
Over the rippling water
Glideth a snow-white swan ;
He aingeth sweet and softly,
The lily gazing on.
He siuoth sweet and softly .
Thus will his death song flow ;

Wiuter-kfrit apples, wasoued wine
a clouded meerhaum, a vase around
which the wfnt of the rose etil
hangf:, all these have a rare, ripe, en
ranescent flavor tbat suggests, but can
not express, the charm of widowhood
A youujr widow is, perhaps the most
interesting object in nature or in art.
She rt-presents experience without its
wrinkles or its gray hair. She haa
matron! v beauty and maidenly freedom
combined. She is grief with laughing
sorrow in a house of festival a silver
moon in a sable cloud. She is too sweet
for anything! Like all good things,
she can only be created at a great sacri
fice. Mrs Browning says that you must
spoil a man, and lie must be pretty tho
roughly spoiled before he can leave a
widow. This black swan this mourn
ful riiwnix rises only out of the fun
eral urn that holds the ashes ot a hus
band's heart ! Let us wipe away the
briny tears and proceed. Poets, states
men, heroes, and philosophers have all
felt the indefinite influence of widow
hood. Its mialitv is not strained. It
falls alike upon the just and the unjust.
None can escape it. Edward Plantage-
net wedded the widow, Elizabeth Grey,
though he knew she brought civil war
for dowrr. Ned Waller, Joe Addison,
Sam Johns-oii, George Washington, Xa-
Kleon Bonaparte, John Wesley, Tony
Wellcr, Ben Disraeli, and all the boys,
married widows. Henry VII. was so
fond of them that he married two: and
King David was so pleased with Abigail
the widow ofXabal, whom he took to
wife, that he turned Bathsheba into a
widow on purpose to marry her. When
Judith coa.es her cogitations over the
virtues of the late lamented Manasses,
of Bo'thusia, put off her mourning and
adorns herself in the brave attire to set
out tor the camp of Holofernes, we feel
instinctivelv that she will come back
with his heart, his crown, or his head.
whichever she goes for. When the old
widow Xaomi counsels the young wid
ow Ruth how to lay her snares in the
harvest Ik-Ms of her kinsman, and
spring her net on the threshing floor,
we know at once that the wealthy bach
elor Bo:iz might as well order the wed
ding garments. Allen Ramsey wrote a
song telling how to woo a widow. He
might as well have left directions how
to get struck by lightning.
Kvil- of Wonslp .
1 have known a country society which
has withered awav all to nothing under
the root of dry gossip. Friendship once
as firm as granite dissolved to jelly, and
then ran away to water, only beeause
of this: love, that promised a future as
enduring as heaven, and as 6table as
Truth, evaporated into a morning mist
that turned into a day's long tears, only
because of this; a father and son were
set foot to foot with the fiery breath of
an anger that would never get cool
aain tietween them; and a husband
and his young wife, each staining at
the heated leash which In the begin
ning had been the golden bandage ol
a God-blessed love, sat mournfully
by the grave where all their love
and all their joy lay buried, and
all because of this. I have seen faith
give place to mean doubt, joy give
place to grim despair, and charity give
lpace to the features of black malevo
lence, all because of the small woids
of scandal, and the magic mutterings ol
gossip. Great crimes work great
wrongs, and deeper tragedies of human
life spring from the larger passions;
but woeful and most mournful are the
uncatalopued tragedies that issue from
gossip and detraction; most mournful
is the shipwreck often made of noble
natures and lovely lives often made by
the bitter winds and dead salt waters of
slander. So easy to say yet so hard
to misprove throwing on the innocent
all the burden and all the strain of de
monstrating their innocence, and pun
ishing them as guilty if unable to pluck
out the stings they cannot see, and to
silence words they caunot hear gossip
and slander are the crudest and deadli
est weapons man haa ever forged for
his brother's heart.
r.Krptlaa Chariots.
Three kinds of chariots were em
ployed by the ancients.
The war chariots were two-wheeled
vehicles often made entirely of brass,
and were driven by two or three horses
yoked abreast. There was no seat in
them, and the riders, of whom there
were usually two, one to drive, and one
10 carry me vteaiivii, moim uprigiik,
t-Ide by side. The floor of these chart
ots sloped backward, ami the wheels
being Email, the riders could easi'y
step in or out. These chariots often
had long scythe blades thrust out on
each side.
The Gaulish chariot was also a two
wheeled vehicle, made very light and
employed in races.
The "family chariot" was in shape
.somewhat like the others but the floor
much longer and the sides much higher.
The women and children sat on the
floor, 011 mats made for the purpose.
The horses driven before these char
iots were yoked abreast, sometimes as
many as four, and even moro, were
employed.

It is well known that plants sleep at
night; but their hours of sleeping are a
matter of babir, and may be disturbed
' artificially, just as a cock may be waked
up to crow at untimely hours by the
light of a lantern. A French chemist
subjected a sensitive plant to an ex
ceedingly trying course of discipline by
completely changing its bourn expo
sing it to a bright light at night, so as
to prevent sleep, and patting it in a
dark room during the day. The plant
appeared to be much pnr.zled and dis
turbed at first, it opened and closed
ita leaves irregularly, sometimes nod
ding, in spite of the artificial son that
shed its beams at midnight, and some
times waking up, from the force of
habit, to find the chamber dark in spite
of the time of day. Such are the tram
mels of use and wont- But, after an
obvious struggle, the plant submitted
to the change, and turned day into
night, without any apparent ill effects.

Cake of PocXTaT. The care that
poultry U enti'Jed to, to make it profit
able, U not near so much as one would
think. It is just like any other busi
ness it needs daily attention, not one
day in a month, but each and every
day. If you expect a cow to be profit
able yon must attend to feeding her
regularly, give her good, comfortable
quarters to protect her from cold,
storms, etc Now the poultry should
nave equally as favorable treatment as
any other stock. Construct houses, not
too large, as you will permit too many
to crowd together. They should be
about eight feet wide, sixteen feet long
to accommodate each a flock of fifty
fowls, fronting to the south with large
windows so placed that the fowls may
enjoy as much sunlight as possible.
liave It perfectly tight and dry, except
ing means for ample ventilation, with
out a possibility of a direct draft reach
ing the fowls at night after going to
roost. A fowl will take cold while
asleep, as easily as a person. Keep the
roosting apartment clean; sprinkle a
little air slaked lime and dry ashes
under the perch ; have the house thor
oughly whitewashed inside three or
four times a year. See that they have
free access to plenty of pure, fresh
water at all times; don't force them to
drink the drainage from the barnyard ;
many cases of cholera have been caused
by this. A few drops of sulphate ol
iron put in their drinking vessels oc
casionallr will be a benefit. Sprinkle
the perches with coal oil and scatter
sulphur in their nests and dusting
boxes.
Jlanv fowls die from severe colds re
ceived by roosting in exposed places.
Of course, every fowl that dies, it is
said, had the cholera, when prooaoiy
half of them were affected in this way.
A Pkofitabl Hog. The following
description of a profitable hog was re
ported bv the committee at the swine
breeders'' convention at IndianaKlis,
Indiana: He must have a small, short
neck ; ears f mall, thin, and tolerably
erect, not objectionable IT they droop
slightly forward ; must be straight from
the neck back to flank : must be let well
down to the knees in brisket; of good
length from head to tail; broad on tne
back; ribbed rather barrel-shaped;
must be slightly curved or arched in
the back from shoulder to the setting
on the tail ; tail small ; long in the ham
from hock to letting off of the loins;
shoulder not too large to give eyrame
try to the animal; ham broad and full :
hair smooth and evenly set on; skiu
soft and elastic to the touch ; legs short-
small, and well set under; broad be
tween the legs; good depth between
bottom and top of the hog; with pleas
ant, quiet disposition; should not
weigh more than three or four hundred
pounds gross, at twelve to eighteen
months old. according to keep; c"or
may be black, or white, or a mixture
of the two. The above described hog
will measure as many feet from the top
of the head to setting on of tail as he
does around the body, and will meas
ure as many inches around the leg be
low the knee as he does ieet in lengm
around the body; depth of body will he
four-hfths ot his height.
Turning iv clover. l once had a
very poor, exhausted lot come into my
possession : the field was naturally good
but run down. It was under the plough
the year before. I sowed it to oats and
stocked thoroughly with the large kind
of clover with the oats. The oats grew
only about six inches high, but there
was an excellent catch aiid growth of
clover. The next season the clover
stood thick and high. I sent the har
row ahead of the plough, exactly as I
wanted to plough and not much faster.
When the harrow came round, 1 took
my bag of 'ova Scotia plaster, and
sowed one cast at the rate of three
bushels to the acre, then followed with
the plough, about seven inches deep,
until the field was finished. The clover
was in blossom. In August I harrowed
it thoroughly and sowed to rye. I had
an excellent crop of rye, and have
never failed to get a good crop on the
field since, except in a small corner,
which was too stony to turn the clover
under at the time. All the crops since
have showed the effect of that clover
and plaster. The stones on the whole
field have since been removed, and,
with others, form a handsome fence on
the four sides of the field, and I can
now hoe, mow, or pasture at pleasure.

The Feeding Valuts of Roots. A
bushel of carrots to feed to a horse is
worth from half to two-thirds as much
as a bushel of oats; and when we con
sider tbat a thousand bushels of car
rots can in some cases be grown on an
acre of land, and five hundred bushels
ordinarily, tanners should always grow
a few hundred bushels for their horses
and cows, being the best root that can
be given to them. Sugar beets come
next in value, and they are worth to
feed to cows about one-sixth their
weight in corn meal. Turnips are
worth about one-eighth their weight of
corn meal, and all help to winter stock
cheaply, and in good condition. The
tarmer who enters upon winter feed
ing with no roots has made a serious
mistake in bis judgment. It is rather
troublesome in some cases to weed out
root crops ; but when the land has been
manured heavily the previous year,
Mid cultivated in some hoed crops, with
view of growing roots on it the fol
lowing season, keeping the weeds thor
oughly subdued, there Is no trouble in
growing a good crop without much
labor in weeding.
Hf.eli.nq dc Tree. The term "heel-ing-in"
means the dieting of a trench
large enough to hold the roots of what
ever is to be heeled-in, so that when
covered they will be fully protected.
Then take your tress, or shrubs, and
pack them in the trench at a slight
angle, as close as you can; and when
the work is done the tops of the trees,
&c, will be upon the ground, and may
as before stated, be covered slightly
with hay or straw, if the rays of the
sun are quite powerful. All kinds of
trees and shrubs may be kept beeled-ln
from October to April or May, and not
be injured in the least; but the trench
must be kept deep enough to allow all
the roots to go down below the surface
of the soil ; and they should be covered
about a foot deep over all, and the earth
well packed among them, l think it
is the best way to manage trees, &c, to
heel tbem in veil in October or Novem
ber, according to the climate, and set
them in the Spring, as they are often
injured by the frosts of winter, before
the roots have obtained a firm hold on
the soil.
How Often to Feed Cokx. Corn
should be led only in cold weather and
then but once a day, and that for the
last meal. As a rule hens will eat
nothing else when they get corn. The
result is an increase of fat on their
bodies and a decrease of vitality and
productiveness. Too much corn inter
feres with a laying hen ; it contains a
surplus amount of fattening material
and not enough albuminous for the
production of eggs.
Ctr away the old raspberry caneg
tbat have been fruited, and burn. Tie
up the new growth to stakes or other
support, allowing only four or five
canes to each plant ; shorten these to
about four feet, and the laterals at
eighteen inches. It is well to give the
rows a dressing of manure, leaving It
on all winter.
Gather the fruit from dwarf trees as
fast as it r atr res. Do not allow pears
to mellow on the trees, but when the
stem parts readily f roin the tree pick
and lay away on shelves in a cool fruit
room to color and ripen. Agriculturist.

AUous of Aluminum. It has been
found by Sartorius of Gottingen that
allnmioiim alloyed with four percent,
of silver is admirably adapted for mak
ing me oeara 01 analytical umu.
nan fur whirh ita lightness and un-
cbangeableiiess render it peculiarly
valuable as compared with other mate
rials. Fvnnrimenta nlwi allow that an allOV
of one hundred parts aluminnm and
five part silver can be woiKea use
pure aluminum, but is harder aud
takes a tine polish. An alloy of five
parte aluminum and one hundred
parte silver is almost as hard as coin
silver, and has the advantage of con
taining no metal that is poisonous, or
that alters the color of the silver. Such
an alloy baa been sometimes recom
mended tor coinage.
An alloy- of ninety-nine parts by
weight ot gold and oue part of alumi
num is very bard, but still ductile, and
its color resembles that of green gold;
ninety parte of gold and ten parts of
silver make a white and bnttle alloy.
The best alloy of aluminnm and tin
contains seven per cent, of the litter ;
it works easily and polishes nicely, but,
on attempting to cast it, a portion of
the tin separates from the aluminum.
An alloy of three percent.Eiucis foaud
to be harder than pure aluminum, but,
very ductile and brilliant. A thou
sandth part of bismuth makes alumi
num as brittle as glass.
According to M. Tessicr, aluminum
will unite with mercury ouly when
moistened with caustic alkali. The
amalgam is very brittle, the aluminum
in il oxidizing easily in the air, decom
posing in water, and in general acliug
like the metals of the alkaliue earths.
With iron, aluminnm produces an
extraordinary hard alloy. A compound
of 24.5 parts aluminum with 7-5 5 parte
iron is silver white, and docs not rust
in the air; on treating this with dilute
sulphuric acid, the iron dissolves and
leaves the aluminum behind ; a blight
addition of eight parts to oue thousand
parts of steel, imparts r.o it all the pro
perties of the best India wootz.
The Chinese Management of Hoses.
It has been stated that the Chinese me
thod of layering roM'8 is sometimes
more successful than ours. Late in
the summer they select a vigorous
shoot of the same year's growth and
tongue it in the usual way: then pnt
in a small pebble to keep the slit open,
and biud a handful of fresh moss
around the tongue, keeping it con
stantly dampened. In aboutsix weeks
it will have struck roots, and can be
nlanted without disturbing the mossy
covering. Many of the garden roses
can be increased by suckers from the
roots, which can be severed ith a sharp
spade in the autumn and new bushes
loruied of them. Budding roses is a
simple process, by which amateur cul
tivators often increase their stock. A
sharp penknife can do duty for a bud
ding knife, aud tbe handle of a tooth
brush, if ground dowu smoothly, will
answer for a spud to aid n lifting the
bark. From the last of June to the last
ot August is the best time for this pro
cess, as the bark can lm more easily
raised from the wood. Take a smooth
stalk and make a horizontal cut across
the bark, thronsh to the wood, but not
into it. From the center of this cross
cut make auother cut straight down
the stem, an inch or more in length.
These two cuts should resemble a T.
Slice oft' the bnd you desire to propa
gate with one cut of the peuknife, cut
ting it close to the main sialk. Now,
with the edge of the spiul tuin back
thn hark nn r-arli side of the Straight
cut and insert the bud on the wood of
the branch to be budded, fitting it
tightly to the crossed cut. With a bit
of soft yarn bind down the bai k, leav
ing the point of the bud exposed. A
handful of dampened moss must then
be bound rouud the stem, taking care
to leave the tiuy point of the bnd ex
posed to the air. In six weeks the
wrappings can be removed, but all
other shoots must be kept from grow
ing on the budded branch. By this
means a rosebush ran be made to bear
half a dozen dill'cieut colored roses.
Carbon Bisulphide at an Antiseptic.
Herr P. Zoeller publishes the statement
that, in an atmosphere containing a
small quantity of the vapor of bisul
phide, animal and vegetable matters
are effectually preserved against de
composition or putrefaction.
The author a'lirms that a few drops
of this substance is sufficient for the
purpose ; and since it volatilizes at or
dinary temperatures, the employment
of heat is reudered uuneccessaiy. In
this manner, he adds, bread, vegeta
bles, fruit of every kind (and fruit
juices), and meat may be preserved for
a couMderable time in closed vessels.
Upon opening the vessels the unpleas
ant odor of the bi-ulbhide is very ap
parent ; but upon airing the snbstauces
treated for a tew minutes, it disappears
entirely by volatilization, lu the case
of meats, the flesh, after having been
submitted to the alove treatment for
several weeks, is iu no wise unpleas

nosit of the ore wolked in America.
The mine is on the high dividing line
between Chester and Pequea alleys
Besides nickel. Conner, irou. and lime
stone are louud iu the same locality.
Nickel was discovered here about the
year 156, though copper, which w ta
ken from the same mine, was known iu
the same locality seventy years ago.
The ore has a gray color, is very heavy,
and so hard that it is mined entirely by
blasting. After the ore has been
broken into small fragments, it is put
into kilns holding eighty or niuety
tons each, and subjected to heat pro
duced at first by the burning of a small
quantity of wood, and continued by
the conversion of the expelled gas. It
is then put into a smelting f in mace, and
undergoes a treatment similar to that
of iron ore.
Liquid for high Temperatures. It is
ofteu necessary to surrouud the pipes
of beating or evaporating apparatus,
and hot air apparatus, ovens, stoves,
etc, with a boiling liquid at a tempe
rature altove 212 deg. Fab.; it is also
necessary to make use of water baths
producing high temjieratures. The li
quid employed for this purpose is
simply water in which sea salt has been
dissolved. Oil baths, etc.. are also
used. Messrs. Grimm and Corvin pro
pose, instead of these various agents,
to make a solution of chloride of lime
in glycerin, a solution which does not
boil below 572 or 20 deg. Fah., and has
the further advantages of never at
tacking metals nor congealing.

the theater, whose steam was carried
by pipes to reservoirs, from which it
could be distributed by a netwoik of

Advice About Pickulwq. Do not
keep pickles in common earthen-ware,
as the glazing contains lead and com
bines with the vinegar. Vinegar for
pickling should be sharp, though not
the sharpest kind, as it injures the
pickles. If you use copper, bell-metal,
or brass vessels for pickling, never allow
the vinegar to cool in them, as it is then
poisonous. Adda teaspoontul of alum
and a teacup of salt to each three gallons
of vinegar, and tie up a bag with pep
per, ginger root and spices of all the
various sorts In it, and you have vinegar
prepare for any kind of pickling. Keep
pickles only in wood or stone ware.
Anything that has held grease will
spoil pickles. Stir pickles occasionally
and if there are soft ones take out and
scald the vinegar and pour it hot over
them. Keep enough vinegar to cover
them well. If it is weak take fresh
vinegar and pour on hot. Do not boll
vinegar or spice above five minutes.
Apple Tore Pie. Core, peel, and
quarter some fine juicy baking-apples.
Make a nice paste with fresh butter and
sifted flour, and line with It the bottom
and sides of a deep dish. Put in the
apples, and stew among them sufficient
brown sugar, to make them very sweet.
If you can obtain a fresh lemon; pare
off very thin the yellow rind, and
squeeze the juice to flavor the apples.
Prepare some fresh pork steaks, cut
thin, and divested of all the fat except
a little at the edge; removing the bone.
Cover the apples with a layer of meat,
and pour in a tea-cup of sweet-cider.
The contents of the pie should be heaped
up In the centre. Have ready a nice
lid of paste, and cover the pie with it,
closing aud crimping the edge. In the
center of the lid cut a cross-slit. Put
it into a hot oven and bake well. This
is a farm-house dish, and very good ;
try it.
A Good Cleanser. To cleanse wood
work, save the tea leaves for a few
days, then steep them In a tin pail or
pan for half an hour, strain through a
sieve, and use the tea to wash all var
nished paint. It requires very little
"elbow polish," as the tea acts as a
strong detergent cleansing the paint
from all impurities and making the
varnish equal to new. It cleans win
dow sashes and oil cloths; indeed, any
varnished surface is Improved by its
application. It washes panes and
mirrors much better than water, aud is
excellent for cleaning black walnut pic
ture and looking glass frames. It will
not do to wash unvirnished paint with
it. Whiting is unequaled tor cleaning
white paint. Take a small quantity on
a damp flannel, rub lightly over the
surface, aud you will lie surprised at
its effects.
Ffver and Agce Ccre. The com
munists of the Wallingford, Conn, com
munity have discovered a very simple
remedy for fever and ague. For some
years past this disease has bceu so pre
valent in the region that, two years ago
the communists seriously tnought of
abandoning their property and flourish
ing business in that place. But the
idea was suggested of trying a heated
stove in a small room, including a pro
fuse perspiration, followed by a sham
pooing and thorough cleansing of the
body, with both warm and raid water;
and these simple means were found to
be a thorough effective remedy. Not
only the communists themselves, but
the people of the entire region round
about have resorted to the remedy, and
have !een thoroughly cured.
Pkesekvep Orange Peel. First wash
the poel in warm water, then cover it
with cold water and place it on the fire
till it boils, then pour off the boiling
water and cover again with cold; con
tinue this process until all the bitter
ness is removed, then make a syrup of
a pound of sugar to a pound of peel;
boil it gently until the peel looks clear,
then with a fork remove the pieces,
place them on platters, dust them with
pulverized white sugar and dry in the
shade.
To Cleax Glass Globes. If the
globes are much stained on the outside
by smoke, soak them in tolerably hot
water with a little washing soda dis
solved in it, then put a teaspoon ful of
powdered ammonia into a pan of luke
warm water aud with a tolerably hard
brush, wash the globes till the smoke
stain disappears; rinse iu clean cold
water, and let them drain till dry. They
will be quite as white and clear a new
globes.

Sharp Studint. -The Kev. Dr.
Ritchie, of Edinburgh, though a very
clever man, has met with his match.
When examining a student as to the
classes he had attended, he said, "And
you attended the class for mathe
matics?" "Yes."
'How many sides has a circle?"
"Two," said the student.
"What are they V
What a laugh In the class the student's
answer produced when he said, "An
Inside and an outside!"
But thii was nothing compared with
what followed. The doctor having said
to this student, -'And you attended the
moral philosophy class also?"
"Yes "
"Well, you would hear lectures on
various subjects. Did you ever hear
one on cause and effect?"
"Yes."
"Does an effect ever go before a
cause?"
"Yes."
"Give me an instance."
"A man wheeling a barrow."
The doctor then sat down, and pro
posed no more questions.
Joax Jarvis was a native of Dublin,
where he practised the art of painting
on glass for some time, and then re
moved to London, where he soon gained
for himself a high reputation. When
the bacchanalian propensities of Jirvis
had rendered him rather an unequal,
if not an unsafe, artist, he was employed
by a gentleman to palut his wife's por
trait a miracle of plainness under
the stipulation that a pint of wine at a
single sitting must be the extent of his
potations. Jarvis assented, and in a
short time produced a perfect fac simile
of the lady. On exhibiting it to the
husband "he seemed disappointed.
"Couldn't you have done It," said he to
the painter, "a little less that is,
couldn't you give it a little more"
"If you expect me," responded Jarvis,
seeing the husband's drift at once, "to
make a handsome portrait of your wife
I must have more than a pint of wine
at a sitting. 1 couldn't get up imagina
tion enough to make her good-looking
under a quart at the very least."
A writer tells an anecdote of two
well known American clergymen, one
of whom undertook to rebuke the other
lor using the "weed."
"Brother G," he exclaimed, with
out stopping to ask any other question,
'is it possible you smoke?"
"I must coiiless 1 do," the other
quietly replied.
"Then 1 should quit it, sir!" the
gentleman energetically continued. "It
is a very under ical practice, ami 1 must
say a very uncleanly one. Why, sir,
even a hog would not smoke !"
"Brother C ," responded his
amused listener, "do you smoke?"
"1? Xo, sir?" he answered gruffly,
with much indignation.
"Then, pray, which is more like the
hog; you or 1?"
At a most exclusive ball at the sea
side, a young druggist's clerk ap
proaches one of the f iirest and most
aristocratic of ladies, and humbly solicits
the favor of a quadrille. The lady In

boots, and taking her can I, says:
"1 never, monsieur, dance with peo

U. What name shall I inscribe? Mon

"M. Peroxide de Manganese, mademoiselle."
She, a sentimental widow, ob-erving
some seagulls flying about the vessels,
remarks: "What a charming subject
for a poem a swallow lot at sea!" He
just recovering from a severe attack of
sea-sickness, replies, looking at the sub
ject from his oiut of view. "Yes,
tnadi-m; but there are so many swal
lows lost at sea !" She chose a more
sympathetic listener during the remain
der of the trip.
Thet were sitting together, he and
she, and he was arduously thinking
what to say. Finally, bursting out will
"In this land of noble achievements
and undying glory, why is it that
women do not climb ttie ladder ol
fame?" "I suppose," said she, putting
her finger iu her mouth, "it is all on
account of their pull backs." And then
she sighed and he sighed, side by side!

A little boy came to hi mother one
day, and wi h qni vering lips and tear
ful eves, said. 'Mamma, need I go to
schoo'l this afternoon ! I don t want to

Why! what lias happened! asked

breast heaved with mingled wrath and
indignation. , ,
liis mother knew that although the
blow might have caused him pain, it
had fallen heaviest on the little sensi

lap aud laid his head opon her bosom,
where he sobbed out bis grief. Then.

would stop learning, aud that would

in order to be a good, strong. Christian

But it is hard sometimes isn t it
mamma f be asked, finding comfort in
her sympathy.
Indeed it is.' was the reply.
He patted her on the cheek, smiled,
ami said. Yon are a good mother.'
Now,' said she, 'go bathe your face,
and we will go to dinner.'
When the hour tor school came, he
threw his aims around bis mother's
neck for a moment and whispered, as
though desiring assurance of her sym
pathy, 'It is hard, isn't it f She assured
him that it was but that he was her
hr hnv. and must not permit tiials
to discourage him.
With a light heart ne went wnisinng
on his way to school, comforted in the
thought that his mother knew and ap
preciated the difficulty.
Til Tale the Shortest. I'apa. One
day a gentleman entered a store, ac
companied by his two little daughteis.
"Bny us each a lead pencil, papa,
said Adda.
"Yes. do, papa," said May, entreat
ingly. , , . ,
He studied a moment and then said,
"I'll get vou one and livide it between
you." Which be did. but contrary to
"his intentions one piece was longer
than the other. Laving the two pieces
together, he said, "Oue piece is smaller
than the oilier, daughters. What shall
I dof
1 expected to see the pink lips pont,
but iustead the clear voice of little
May, the yonnger of the two, rang
cheerily, Til take the shortest, paxi."
The tears glistened in more thao one
eye for a moment, and many times
since have her unselfish words echoed
in mv ears.
Afterwards a lady came with a little
daughter. "Buy me something, mam
ma.'' said the little girl.
The frugal mother bought two figs.
"One is for you," she said, "aud the
other is for Mary."
I knew that poor Mary's lot in life
was a sad oue. All winter she had been
helpless with inflammatory rheuma
tism, and when spring time we feared
quirk consumption was on her track.
The little girl eyed the tigs, and as
she went out tilled her month with one
fnller than it ought to have been.
"Why Lave you taken the biggest,"
said the mother.
"There is hardly a bite in the other,"
"But Mary is sick," and the mother.
Yet the selfish little girl was not sorry
at all.
Mv thoughts went back to little May :
"I'll take the shortest, papa."
Uiblo Xaries.lu the old times peo
ple called a pearl a "margaref" In an
old bible I once read about the pearl of
great price, but it was called a "precious
nargarer." 1 read this to a little girl
named Margaret, and she was very
happy to find ber name in the bible.
All i he Mai ys and Marthas ami Ruths
and Abigails and Graces and Chaiitys
can find their names in the bible, you
know. There wts once a dear girl
named Griselda, who hail many things
to do for her mother. People called
her "patient Griselda," and she was
pleased to find a story with that very
name in an old book. My name is not
in the bible. I wish it were. The
names of my three little girls are tlieie ;
but there is a better place than the Bi
ble in which to have your name writ
ten. It is the I limb's Book of Life.
You may read about it iu the Revela
tion. "Jit," inquired a boy of tender years,
who was slowly ridiug home on a
street-car the other noon, "don't the
Bible say that the Creator made all
creeping things?" "Yes my son," re
plied the mother, with due solemnity.
The boy rode thoughtfully on a few
rods, aud then suddenly exclaimed, in
earnest tones : "Say, ma, did he make
street cars "
A lady, in describing to an irreverent
boy an occurrence in whicu his father
figured, closed by remarking, "I am
sorry to say that the thing ended by
your father Ioiug his temper." "Did
father lose bis temper V exclaimed
the young scapegrace; "then 1 hope
he'll never find it again, for it was the
worst temper I ever beard of.
A teacher asked oueof bis pupils who
sat at the extreme end of the bench,
where the sun struck with full force all
the afternoon, what business he'd like
to follow when he grew up robe a man.
"Well." said the lad, "pop wants me to
lie a lawyer, but 1 guess if I've got to
sit in the sun ail my life, I'd rather
drive an ice cart."
A little boy having broken his rocking-horse
the day it was bought, his
mother rebuked him. He replied to
her by iuqniring, "What's the good of
a hoise till its broke f At last ac
counts the mother was .looking lor an
old slipper.
" What is the chief use of bread I"
asked an examiner at a recent school
exhibition. "The chief nse of bread,"
answered the urchin, apparently aston

'is to spread butter aud jam on it."
The Advantages f Betas; I sly.
It may be egotistical tosav so, doubt
less it is, says an English writer, but 1
have ever loved, and ever shall love,
ugly people. Apart from the charms
ol their conversation, which has noth
ing of the frivolity that so often dis
graces the talk of the beautiiut, I find a
strange delight in perusing the features
of the ugly. There is intolerable mo
notony iu a finely chiseled face. lis
regularity is irksome to behold. The
ugly, and they alone, are picturesque.
Irregularity is to their lineaments what
undulation is to landscape, the key to
that variety of outline which is all es
sential to artistic eflect, A fellow on
whom nature has graciously bestowed
a turned-up nose bears about him the
physical emblem of disdain, and always
seems to be treating the world with tiie
scorn and contempt of which the world
is richly deserving. Beetle eyebrows
call to mind a glossy, amiable insect;
big cheek bones have a bold, majestic,
cliff-like look; a low forehead bespeaks
the gentle virtue of humility; and a
mouth that is like unto an oven resem
bles a good thing. And then for eyes
why should ejes be fellows? Surely
it is much more useful as well as orna
mental that one eye should look to the
west, the other to the east. I love a
man with a squint:

Schencx's Ptlmonic Strcp,
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic,
Schence's Mandraee Pills,
Are the only medicines that will cure
Pulmonary Consumption.
Frequently medicines that will stop a
couh will occasion the death of the
patient; they lock up the liver, stop
the circulation of the blood, hemorr
hage follows, and in fact, they clog the
action of the very organs that caused
the cough.
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are
the causes of two-thirds of the cases of
Consumption. Many persons complain
of a dull pain in the side, contiaiioii,
coated tongue, pain in the shoulder
blade, feelings of drowsiness and rest
lessness, the food lying heavily on the
stomach, accompanied with acidity aud
belching up of wind,
t' t tit svnioto'n usually originate
from a disordered condition of the sto
mach or a torpid liver.
Persons so-affected, If they take one
or two heavy cold, and if the cough in
these cases be suddenly checked, will
find the stomach and liver clogyd, re
maining torpid and inactive, and almost
before they are aware the lungs are a
muss of sores, and ulcerated, the result
of which is death.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is an ex
pectorant which does not contain opium
or anything calculated to check a cough
suddenly.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic dissolves
the food, mixes with the gastric juices
of the stomach, aids digestion, and cre
ates a ravenous appetite.
When the bowels are costive, skin
sallow, or the svmpioras otherwise of a
bilious tendency, Schenck's Mandrake
Pills are required.
These medicines are prepared only by
J. II. Schence & Son,

And are for sale by all druggists and
dealers.

From a highly respectable gentleman
in Limestone, Montour Co., Pa.:
"This is to certify that I was pro
nounced by several physicians as con
sumptive, and had all the symptoms of
he disease in its worst form such as
coughing, severe pi'ns in the breast,
shortness of breath, night sweats, and
extreme weakness and lassitude of mv
whole system. My family nearly all
having died of the disease, I had given
up all hope of recovery, as nothing
gave me relief; but through the per
suasion of a friend I was induced to try
Wistar's Balsam op Wild Cuerrt.
The first bottle relieved me considera
bly, aud the third bottle cured me en
tirely. I now feel as well as I ever did
in my life, and am able to follow my
occupation of farmer as fully as any
one. I also had a sister in a more ad
vanced state of the disease, having been
confined to her bed for over a year, and
pron unced beyond hope by our best
physicians. She also was entirely cur
ed by the Wild Cherry, but it required
six or eight bottles, and she stili takes
it occasionally as a preventative, being
naturally weak chested. I would sin
cerely urge all who are similarly af
fected to try Dr. Wistar's Balsam op
Wild CiiERKY.as I am satisfied that but
for your own valuable remedy my
sister and myself would not now be
living. I would cheerfully a.iswer any
one who may address me on the subject
and state our eas-.-s more fully."
