FOLLT.
When we wen young, and Ufa meant long
' Blight days of mnmer weather.
My dear, there waa a preMy song
Wa need to sing together. '
Tbera'a many a lad can sing it still.
With Kitty, Bess, or Molly ;
It ends, begin it as yon will.
In Folly, Folly. Folly!
Now we are old, and life means long
Dark days of winter weather.
My dear, we're learnt some other eoug
We do not sing together.
Yet still both moat hare often thought.
It somewhat melancholy.
Bo aweet a song should end In nar.ght
Bnt Folly, Folly, Folly!
He w it feels to he jBlllatlasd.
We know how it feels to be poisoDed,
to be banged and to be drowned, bat
it baa been reserved for M. Mondate,
. an Italian gentleman, to let tbe world
know bow it feels to be guillotined.
He was in 1873 condemned to death for
a crime of which be was innocent. The
blade of tbe guillotine fell, but the
wood in the grooves of which it ran
had swollen slightly, and the knife
topped barely two centimetres from
his neck. While they were repairing
this defect a reprieve arrived the
true murderer had been found and had
confessed bis crime. "It was at 8 A. M.,
August 17, 1S73," says M. Mondate,
"that my confessor, I'Abbe Fernia, en-
- tered my cell to announce to me that I
must die.
When at the touch of his hand npon
my shoulders I awakened. I compre
hended at once the nature of his er
rand, and despite my confidence it
seems that I turned horribly pale. I
would have spoken, but my mouth con
tracted nervously and no saliva moist
ened it. A mortal chill suddenly inva
ded tbe lower part of my body. By a
supreme effort I succeeded in gasping.
It is not true !' The priest answered I
know not what. I only heard a con
fused buzzing. Then a sudden thrill
of pride shot through me. For some
minutes 1 felt no fear ; I stood erect ; I
said to myself that if I must die I should
show them that an innocent man died
with courage. I spoke with great rapid
ity; I was horribly afraid to be silent
or to be interrupted ; I thanked the
Governor of the prison, and asked for
something to eat. They brought me a
cup of chocolate, but I refused it.
Again I had become fully possessed
with the horrors of my situation ; I bad
visions wbatof the scaffold wouldbe like,
and mechanically asked the attendants,
'Does it hurt muchT Xot a bit," an
swered somebody, and I 6aw before
me a new person in a gown of black
woolen the executioner. I would have
risen, defended myself, asserted my in
nocence, but I fainted; and when I re
turned to consciousness I was pinioned
in the cart which was entering the
death-place. I cast a shuddering look
at the horrible machine. I had no more
connected and coherent thought, and
the uprights between which the knife
runs seemed as high as the masts of a
hip. I was lifted to the platform ; I
had but one fixed idea that of resist
ance. But how could I resist T I was
seized and flung down npon the plank.
1 felt as if I were paralyzed and lay
there for an immense time. Then there
was a sharp blow on my neck, and I
fainted again with the instinctive idea
that the knife had struck me. It was
not the knife but the upper part of the
lunette. When I came to myself I was
in the prison hospital."
JIhc'c Clocks
In Potter' Monthly is given an ex
planation of the motive power of the
"magic clocks" seen in jewelers' stores.
They consist of a large glass disc, with
the hours marked near the edge, and
two brass hands, moving on a pivot at
the centre, without any visible ma
chinery. Tbe secret is in the counter
poise of the hands, each of which has
a heavy arrow-point at the long end,
and at the short end a hollow round
box. In this box are the works of a
watch, which are so placed as to leave
an annular space between them and the
circumference of the box; and in this
space is a conterpoise which is con
nected with the works so as to revolve
once in twelve hours for the hour hand,
and once in an hour for the minute
hand; the revolution of the counter
poise inside the box shifts tbe centre of
gravity of the hand, so as to give the
hand, successively, the necessary direc
tion. Thus, when the counterpoise is
the farthest from the axis, it brings the
centre of gravity opposite the arrow-
point, and the hand will point upward
to 12 ; when, on the contrary, the coun
terpoise is between the axis and the ar
row-point, the centre of gravity will be
there, and tbe arrow will point down.
ward to 6. In the intermediate sideward
position of this revolving counterpoise
the centre of gavity of the whole will
be displaced sideways and the hand
point at 8, 9, 10, or 2, 3, 4, according to
to the shifting. This clock was patented
in this country on Septemqer 1st, 1S74,
by Henry Robert, a clockmaker of
Paris, France. Lately 31 r. Robert has
considerably improved on the plan,
especially by using very light and
very heavy metals in combination, so
as to have a sufficient contrast in
weight for obtaining the right effect,
The hidden counterpoise, moving in the
hollow box is of platinum, so as to take
up as little room as possible, and the
band with its arrow-point is of alumi
num, the lightest known metal.
PeepiBR.Frec.
It is well for all people in the country
to know the difference between "peep
ing" and "croaking" frogs. Among
the first and most noticeable of the
spring sounds that come to us from the
neighborhood of the ponds and streams
is the voice of the peeping frog ; and
this little creature will well repay one's
attention. It is commonly thought to
be the young of the bull-frog ; but this
is not so ; it seems to be a distinct vari
ety of the frog family, lie makes a im
eelf heard in the spring as soon as the
ice has melted, and is most musical
during the evening. You will find him
sitting among tbe old brown grasses
and leaves at the edge of the water;
and as soon as he hears your footfall
down he flattens himself, andyou would
easily mistake him for a brown leaf;
but trusting to your ears and not eyes,
you soon will see this little brown leaf
cautiously rise up, swell its little throat
to half the size of iU body, and give
a "peep" shrill enough to leave no doubt
as to what makes that sound. These
frogs are, when sitting, about an inch
long, and vary in color from a light to
a very dark brown. They are easily
caught ; and by putting them in a wide
mouth bottle, covered with a thin mus
lin, and placing this under a hat, or in
any place away from the light, they
will continue their peeping for some
time.
Take things as they are. and make the j
best of them. That is the only true and :
practical philosophy. 1
ACBICCLTCEAL.
Tbdcxino Fkcit. Any one who will
take a walk tnrougn our rruit markets
in the fall will not be surprised at the
low prices which usually prevail ; if one
half or tbe rruit was kept back, ana only
tbe best and most perfect specimens
sent, they would command as much as
is usually obtained Tor the whole and a
saving in freight be effected. We find
the following good advice in the Ameri
can Agriculturist: "That this severe
thinning will change the bearing year
there is sumcient testimony, out there
is one point on which we lack evidence
will it pay f If any of our friends
have tried thinning to induce annual
bearing, or to reverse the bearing year
on full-grown trees, we ask in behalf of
many inquirers that they will give their
results. With young orchards, just
coming into bearing, the case is very
different, and whoever will take the
pains, and give the young trees the
needed care, can make their orchard
bear annually. The education of tbe
trees must begin with their first fruit
ing, as the first excessive crop, though
small in itself, starts the tree on the
wrong track. When the trees are young
the quantity of fruit to be removed is
small, and all within reach. Of course
the cultivation of the soil must not be
neglected, but a healthy growth main
tained. Whoever will start right with
his orchard, and treat it fairly, will
have no reason to complain. Among
the varieties of apples that are naturally
annual bearers, though they may be
starved into bearing biennially, or not
at all, are Vandevere, Sops of Wine,
Grimes' Golden, a comparatively new
apple of great excellence ; Milam, Hio k
lers', Bawles' Janet, for tbe South;
Benoni, Hubbardstoa Nonesuch, lim
ine, lligby Sweet, and English Sweet
(Ramsdell's Sweet at tbe South). If any
of our fruit growers can add to this lUt
of annual bearers, we hope they will do
so."
Cmuso Potato Ks. One of the most
prolific questions for farm club discus
sion is whether cutting the sets has any
effect in decreasing tbe vitality or size
of tbe crop. A few years ago the theory
was advanced and strongly advocated
that nothing but the largest potatoes
should be used, and that to prevent de-
I terioration of the product these should
be planted whole and about three feet
apart in the row; tbe main advocate of
this theory was a dealer in seed pota
toes, and of kiads which then com
manded a high price, and the ill-natured
were in the habit of attributing his
theory to a desire to effect a sale, as it
was found that the practice involved a
large increase in the amount of seed
used. We think it may be set down as
a rule that a ripe and well developed
eye will, in good soil, produce perfect
tubers, and that the deterioration which
usually follows tbe continued planting
of small seed is caused more by the fact
that they are not fully matured than to
their size. All that is required either
of the whole tuber or of tbe piece at
tached to the eye is to nourish the shoot
until the proper roots are formed, and
after that it can obtain its nourishment
from the soil. What have our readers
to say on this subject ?
A correspondent of Xature, residing
in New Zealand, communicates to that
journal several instances of the trans
mission of habits to offspring in ani
mals. One instance is that of a mare
which would wander away from the
"mob" of horses to which she belonged
always seeking one particular creek.
When released from work she would
make off to ber favorite feeding-ground
by herself. One of her progeny some
years after showed a similar liking for
solitude. Again, a valuable mare was
an incorrigible kicker; she transmitted
her special vice to her offspring. Pecu
liarity in the form of the hoof has been
transmitted to generation after genera
tion, me same writer states that a
particular strain of Dorking fowls
which he had in his possession fur thirty
years always show a desire for rambling,
anu tnis too, unuer the mtncuitr ui
meeting with much persecution when
straying beyond their range.
Corn Fodder. A writer on growing
corn to be lea green says : "One dairy
farmer who has 100 dairy cows said that
he wanted his corn grown so as to pro
duce the greatest quantity of ears pos
sible for the purpose of feeding his
cows, and to increase their dailyllow of
milk; ana irom numerous letters re
eeiveu from farmers in different sec
tions ot the country the past fall, there
is no doubt that very many farmers will
make the experiment the coming sea
son with sweet corn, growing it in such
a manner as to produce ears as well as
fodder, all to be used in the feeding of
farm stock the coming summer and
fall, and from such experiments much
knowledge may be gained." The large,
free-growing varieties of sweet corn
are the best for this purpose.
A Pre-Chxistlaa Tomb.
The tombs of Italy are the great store
houses ol antiquity. 1 lie buried dead
were adorned with costly jewelry, and
about the bodies were placed exquisite
vases and other works of art. The tomb
at Vulei, iu Ktruria, once contained a
number of my antiquities. 1 visited it
one day, says iSignor Castellani, and
shall never "forget the sight. It is many
feet under ground (the entrance being
a sloping subterranean passage leading
I roin t lie sunaee oi an orien Held), and
it a square chamber cut out of the rock.
At the height of about five feet from
tbe floor the tides retreat six feet and
men ascend to the ceiling, forming a
solid shelf on which the bodies were
laid in almost sitting postures, the
heads and shoulders resting against the
walls and the feet turned toward the
center of tbe room. Onlv a few bones
remained of the forms once lvingthere.
but the walls were stained by the con
tact ot the heads and shoulders, so that
you could see just how the bodies had
originally been placed. But the neck
laces, bracelets and earrings which
adorned the dead lay sparkling and per
fect in the dust of ages. You cannot
imagine the impression made upon one
on entering such a sepulchre-the torch
light, the darkness, the close and almost
stilling atmosphere, the bones, the
flashing gems, produce a strange and
weird effect. But the walls were beau
tifully and gorgeously frescoed ; nails
in theni held fine votive vases: while in
the center of the rooui on i 1 1 5 ral bed
lay the remains of thetil of the
family, surrounded by r i; a also, by
fragments of chairs, and by various ai
pleuients. An iiniialiiable but visi.il;
dust had settled uixn the ntire inte
rior; the architectural decorations of
the finely chiselled supjHirting columns
were thinly covered with it, and so was
everything else there. Some of the
tombs discovered in Italy had been
searched and robbed by the ancient
Roman soldiers; but this one evidently
had not been entered since the time of
Alexander the Great.
ETealnaraat Home.
When the evening lamps are lighted,
says an exchange, the children now
gather with school books around the
table to con the lessons for to-morrow.
To many of them the tasks assigned
seem dreary and hopeless; definitions
are hard to remember; the geography
lesson is hard to comprehend and won't
stay fixed in the mind; history is dull
and dead, arithmetic a hopeless tangle
of figures, and grammar more puzzling
than any possible conundrum. The
little folk need help; they need cheer
and encouragement, and who should be
so ready, so willing, so able to give it
as the parent J .ven if the parent's
education is imperfect, he will bring to
the comprehension of the lesson io
band a wider range of knowledge and a
broader manner of looking at things
than the child can do, and thus greatly
aid In the clear comprehension of the
lesson to be learned.
sciis Tin c.
Titanium Chloride for Prism. In od
tical experiments and in spectroscopic
work, hollow glass prisms filled with
bisulphide of carbon are frequently
employed because of the high refractive
power of bisulphide. It possesses,
however, several disadvantages,among
which are its odor and its wonderful
solvent properties. The hollow glass
prisms employed are nicely ground to
the proper angle and plates of glass ce
mented thereon.' The bisulphide of
carbon attacks the cement, whatever it
may be, and in most cases soon causes
tbe prism to leak. This necessitates
the removal of "the liquid after using
and refilling the prism each day when
it is to be used. Cannot some other
dense and highly refractive liquid be
substituted for itT
It is oar wish to call attention to an
other liquid of very high refractive
power, almost equal to bisulphide of
carbon, that may perhaps be substi
tuted for it, as it is free from this sol
vent action, at least on some substances.
Titanium chloride fumes in the air,
sending off great clouds of white
smoke, and is consequently a disagree
able substance to handle. It has, bow
ever, the property of remaining in a
bottle or other vessel, even when loose
ly stoppered, for the reason that the
fumes of oxide and oxychloride collect
about the cork and in all other crevices
completely closing them.
Titanium chloride is prepared in a
manner totally analogous to that em
ployed in the chlorides of silicon, alu
minum, and some similar substances,
namely, tbe action of dry chlorine gas
upon a mixture of titanium oxide and
lamp black at a high temperature. Al
though a difficult laboratory experi
ment, it might be produced on a large
scale almost as easily as chloride of
aluminum, if the demand for it were
sufficient. .
Coloring Matter in Toys. The Sani
tary inspector of Glasgow, Scotland,
has found that tbe yellow toy balloons
sold to children are poisonous that is,
the coloring matter consists of one part
of chromate of lead and three parts of
carbonate of lime; and consequently
children being in the habit of applying
their mouths to the oritices of these
balloons for the purpose of filling them
with air, may readily receive a quan
tity of such poisonous powder into their
mouths. These balloons, therefore,
should be viewed with suspicion. Many
other painted toys should be suspected
especially the bright-colored ones,
which most always are of a mineral na
ture, and, if not directly poisonous, are
certainly injurious to health. As an
abundance of good toys without colors
or paints can always be obtained, there
is no necessity for putting into the
hands of children anything of a ques
tionable nature in this line.
A Norwegian Timber Church. There
exists in Norway, says the Building
Aeir, a series of wooden churches of
great interest to the antiquary. One
cf these, situated in the neighbor
hood of some of the wildest and
most romantic scenery in the
country, is of strange and fantastic de
sign, and the carved pinnacles at its
angles give it the appearance of a
Chinese pagoda rather than a Christian
church. The building is entirely of
pine, tbe roof and walls being covered
with tooth-shaped shingles, protected
from tbe weather by layers of pitch. It
possesses nave, chancel, aud apse, the
roof of the later forming a most curious
feature resembliDg a large beehive. A
covered way. about 3 feet wide, runs
all round the church. It is believed to
have been erected in the 11th or 12th
century, and the resemblance which
the mouldings and capitals bear to
English architecture of that date fully
bears this out.
King Siclnes. This is not dissimilar
from sea sickness: it requires long ex
perience in a ring to overcome the nau
sea consequent upon going round and
iound in one direction. One of the
most difticnlt things for a circus rider
to overcome is this sickness. Clowns
and ringmasters suffer from it greatly,
at first from merely seeing tbe horses
go round and round; but even after
years of experience, a ringmaster
(whose principal business in the ring is
to keep the horses up to a certain gait,
and not merely to give cues to tbe
clown), if a horse balks or gets behind
time, and he is obi,ged to keep close
upon him, is very hk ly to sutler from
a pronounced lit of sickness at the
stomach after he leaves the ring.
To Protect Molten Lead from Explo-.-Molten
lead, when poured around
a damp or wet joint, will often convert
the water into steam so suddeuly as to
cause an explosion, scattering the hot
metal in every direction. 1 las trouble
may, it is said, be avoided by putting
into the ladle a bit of rosin the size of
a man's thumb, aud melting it before
pouring.
Xlgbt ntOBBda.
Every one has noticed how many sin
gular sounds are heard at night noises
apparently unexplainable, and conse
quently mysterious. Many a ghost
story has sprung up from an unsccount
able noi.-c; many a person been terrified
beyond measure by an unexpected sound
at midnight. Sir David Brewster gives
an excellent account of a mysterious
night sound which would have fright
ened many persons, but which proved
Innocently harmless when tested by a
steady observer. A gentleman heard a
strange sound every night soon after
getting into bed, his wife beard it also,
but not at the time when she retired, a
little earlier than he. Xo probable
cause could be assigned, and the effect
upon the imagination became rather
unpleasant. He found some time after
terward that the sound came from a
wardrobe which stood near the head of
his bed. He almost always opened and
closed this wardrobe when undressing,
but as the door was a little tight be
could not quite close it- The door pos
sibly affected by gradual changes of
temperature, forced itself ojen with a
sort of dull sound, which was over in
an instant. From the lady not being
in the habit of nsing that wardrobe, the
mystery became associated with her
husband only. 1 1 id they given way to
imagination and never investigated the
affair, another haunted house would
have been added to the long row already
standing.
Thoughts.
Thoughts suggest thoughts, and these
thoughts other thoughts, ad infinitum.
Thought are invisible and more until
they are clothed in language, or embod
ied in words; then they can both be seen
and heard. Without thoughts to direct
the orator's speech, tbe author's pen, or
the artist s hand, no work could be ac
complished, the world would become a
dreary waste and man would soon be
annihilated.
Thoughts are like diamonds they
sparkle, no matter how rough and un
couth their setting ; and like diamonds,
too, they are valued for their brilliancy,
and the more highly they are polished
the better they shine.
Thoughts belong to their originator
until set free and scattered : then they
become pnblic property and can never
be collected together again as at first.
The only way to keep your thoughts is
cot to divulge them not even as a se
cret!
Thoughts expressed, however, whilst
they do no harm, do no good. Like a
candle hid under a bushel, they burn,
bat shed no light. Therefore it is best
to divulge your good thoughts; bnt let
your impure and evil ones (if any such
yon have) ever remains in solitary con
finement and silence, that they may be
smothered and become extinct.
DOMESTIC.
Botjrixow, the common soup of
i ranee, is managed by the artisan's
wife in this way i She first lays the
meat in ber earthen stocknot. and douts
cold water to it in tbe proportion of
about two quarts to three pounds of
beef; she then places it by the side of
tbe nre, where it slowly becomes not;
ana as it does so, the heat enlarge tbe
fibre of the meat, dissolves the gelatin
ous substances which it contains, allows
the albumen for the muscular oartl
which produces the scum to disengage
itself and rise to the surface, and the
osmazone (which is the most savory
part ot the meat) to be diffused through
the brotn. Thus from the simple cir
cumstance of boiling it in the gentlest
manner, a relishing and nutritious soup
will be obtainedand a dish of tender
and palatable meat; but if the pot be
placed and kept over a quick fire the
albumen will coagulate, harden the
meat, prevent the water from penetrat
ing it, and the osmazone from disengag
ing itself; the result will be a broth
without a flavor or goodness, and a
rough, dry bit of meat. Add salt in
the proportion of half an ounce to the
quart, throw in three or four turnips,
as many carrots, half a head of celery,
two or three leeks, one on ion stuck with
some cloves, a teaspoonful of pepper
corns, and a bunch of savory herbs. It
will require from four and a half to six
hours, according to the quantity.
Water-Proof Blacking. If ever one
needs a good, water-proof blacking for
boots and shoes, it is at the season of
sleet, hail and snow, lhe following
recipe for making a water proof black
ing comes to us highly recommended:
Dissolve an ounce of borax in water,
and In this dissolve gum shellac until,
it is the consistency of thin paste; add
lampblack to color. This makes a cheap
aud excellent blacking for boots, giving
them the polish of new leather. The
shellac makes the boots or shoes almost
entirely water-proof. Camphor dis
solved in alcohol, added to the blacking,
makes the leather more pliable and
keeps it from cracking. This is sold at
30 cents for a small bottle. By making
it yourself, $1 will buy materials for a
gallon.
Suoak Dried Peaches. A house
keeper thus gives what is, in her
opinion, one practicable and delicious
mode of escape from the evils of an
enormous peach crop. Take the thor
oughly rie, mellow rruit, scald and
remove the skins; place the halves on
an earthern or suitable metal surface ;
sprinkle over them a little good sugar,
and dry rapidly by a high heat, or they
may be scalded in syrup, skimmed out
and dried. Then pack in close vessels,
and they 'will keep for years in any
climate, provided you keep your fingers
off them, for they are really delicious,
and are less cloying than common
raisins.
To Maeb Boots and Suoes Durable.
The durability of the soles of boots
and shoes may be greatly increased by
coating them with gum copal varnish,
which also has the enect or making
them waterproof. Four or five coats
must be given, allowing each coat of
varnish to dry before the succeeding
one is applied. Soles thus treated
possess twice the usual durability, and
generally outlast the best uppers. . The
leather uppers of boots or shoes may be
rendered soft and waterproof by rub
bing into them, while warm, before the
bre, a mixture composed or lour ounces
of lard and one ounce of resin.

A dark house is always an unhealthy.
an ill-aired house, and a dirty house.
Want of light stops growth and pro
motes scrotula, rickets etc., among the
children. People lose their health in a
dark house; and If they -become ill they
cau not get well in it.
Flannels should be washed in tepid
water, using no soap unless absolutely
necessary, and rinsing in water ot the
same temperature. They will not shrink
if stretched occasionally while drying.
The Thieves of Parts.
The thieves of Paris, like the Taris
ian police, have long been supposed to
be preternaturally acute, A thief of
Bols-Colorabes has lately proved how
much be could excel either. M. Bour
dais owns a piece of property in the
place indicated, which two years ago he
rented to an eligible tenant. M. Bour
dais dwelt in another place, and for a
year and a half his rent was sent to him
with the most perfect regularity. No
landlord could ask for a better tenant.
At the end of eighteen months M. Bour
dais received no remittance, and wrote
many times to see what was the trouble.
He received no answer. Finally, after
some months' delay, he determined to
go to Bois-Colomlies, and upon arriv
ing there what was his surprise to find
that nothing of his "pUi" remained
but the ground itself. He sought dili
gently for his house, but alas! he had
no house; it had been dismantled, de
molished and removed. In a rage he
laid his grievance before the police, who
are probably now searching for tbe
dwelling with the best quality of micro
scopes. The police are, however, doing
better work on a more crying evil than
the theft of houses, and are at present
diligently seeking to close some ot the
gaming houses of the capital, and there
by advertising some of them which have
hitherto not been generally known to
the public.
Knew Iloases la Labrador.
Spo.-ting in Labrador involves ro
mantic incidents. When deer are not
met with except at so great a distance
from a settlement that the night has to
be passed in the woods, a commodious
snow house is erected in a marvel
lously brief time by the attendant Es
quimaux. They roll small lumps of
snow into heavy, compact heaps, which
oeing saapeu into square pieces are
placed one over the other until four
walls are raised. As it freezes they
throw water upon each layer to render
the structure more compact. Sled poles
are lashed together and laid across the
top. Blocks of snow are placed npon
them, and tbe crevices in every direc
tion ate filled in with soft snow, thus
excluding the air. A narrow door is
scooped out in front, and tbe floor
plentifully strewn with snow-shoes,
skins, and gear. Rudely patched bnt
cosy furs constitute the covering, and
sportsmen who nave ventured into that
inhospitable region aver that they have
slept comfortably and without experi
encing cold within these unique places
of shelter.
All lay loads on the willing horse.

DimRXXT Krxrs or Poe tbt. Yester
day a gentleman discovered an ex
quisite poetic gem.! and his delight at
the -discovery invited the attention of
two ladies to It. They listened with
intent ear while the reader gave voice
to the glowing and graceful thoughts
of the poet. When the reading was
finished, the gentleman turned to his
companions for a word or look of ap
preciation.- tie saw their faces aglow,
their lips parted In an intensity of feel
ing, and their eyes bright with what?

"I should think so, too," returned the

How JJ Lost II id Damages. Soon
after dinner, Thursday, says M. Quad.
a citizen of Third street entered a
lawyer a ofltce and began :
"My wife has been bitten by a dog."
"Good I" replied the lawyer. "You
must claim damages in the sum of $500.
"Yes; she was bitten three times by
the brute," continued the husband,
"and of course I want damages."
"Well, now, you go home and tell
your wife to go to bed and stay there
for at least a week. Have her groan
and take on, and suffer great pain and
distress, and call in tbe neighbors to
witness her sufferings. We'll just make
the man who owns that dog get up and
howl."
The man left in a joyful state of
mind, and yesterday he came Dack look
ing sorrowfully.
"No use trying," sadly said he, shak
ing his head. "My wife waited just
loug enough to find out that the dog
wasu'tmad; and then she started out
to make twenty-two calls this after
noon, and I guess we haven't got a
case."
Bobbt Blinkers was a Xevada boy,
and didn't want to go to school the
other day. He did not put in his ap
pearance at breakfast, and about
o'clock his mother went up to see what
was the matter. Bob was writhing
about the bed from an improvised
stomach-ache. "All right," said the
old lady, "I'll apply a mustard-plaster,"
and in a few minutes a hot mustard
plaster containing two square feet of
motive power was spread upon the
boy's abdomen. ''Mother, how long
must this thing stay on?'' "I guess
I'll be able to take it off about 4 this
afternoon, and then if 1 can get an
emetic to work it'll be all right. Lie
still, my boy, I'll bring you through."
Then Bob rose up immediately and
started for school, and the plaster was
the cause of his being an hour late.

Hew English Anthers Werk.
Mr. Trollope asserts that he does all
his writing before breakfast. Mr. Tom
Taylor said at a literary fund dinner,
at which Mr. Motley was present, that
all his literary work had been done be
fore official hours in the morning. II.
J. Byron says he only writes two hours
a day, but he takes credit for thinking
a good deal. Mr. Hepworth Dixon liter
ally writes from morning to night.
George Eliot is at her desk six or seven
hours a day. Mrs. Henry Wood writes
every day until dinner time. "How
many hours a day do you write?,' I
asked Farjeon to-day. "All the time,"
was the reply, and it was nearly true.
The late Lord Lytton said that in two
hours daily great things in literature
might be done, and somebody has fin
ished that up and adopted tbe Idea in
imagination. Why even Scott never,
on his working days, wrote less than
four or five hours and he always sat
down to his desk primed. There was
no affectation of leisure about the au
thors of "Pendennls" and "David Cop
perfleld," and Balzac would lock him
self up for weeks together and write
hour after hour at a stretch, and would
come forth into the world with his
book haggard, care-worn, and ex
hausted. Miss Braddon has been in
the habit of writing from ten to sixteen
hours a day, and only a couple of years
ago ber labor was so incessant that it
turned her brain, and she had to lav
down her pen for many months in the
middle or a novel, which was finished
by a frieud.
Is promoted, happiness Increased, and
life prolonged, by the large contempla
tion of tbe beautiful in nature, art, and
revelation. Natural philosophers live
longer than any other class of men;
clergymen, than either of the other
professions. The human mind every
where takes in truth with pleasure; it
feeds on what is new, and, if the new
is beautiful and true, it is a feast of fat
things, nourishing the immortal part,
aud giving life to the body Itself.
