QCTXCES ASD THEIR CCLTTV ATTOX
Why is it that the qulnoe, which is as
hardy and as well adapted to our soil
nd climate as the app'e, is compara
tively scarce, and commauds. on an
average, three or four times a much
in our markets t There is seldom. If
- ever, a 'glat"-in the market, and prices
are uuiforuily remunerative, bringing
the producers for handsome fruit from
two to four dollars a bushel in .New
York and .Boston nearly every season.
The apple, in the fresh or dried state,
enters into the annual supplies of every
family as cider, vinegar, jelly, sauce
and other preparations, and is also a
profitable feed lor our domestic animals,
while not one family In ten knows any
thing of quince preserves and jellies.
It is really one of the most appetizing
and wholesome of the sweetmeats found
among the stores of our housewives;
and the cultivation of this fruit should
be greatly extended. We know of no
fruit which promises such good returns
as this to the intelligent fruit grower.
If we look at the quince plantations as
we ordiuarily find them, they are few
and far between In the farming dis
trict. The popular fancy is that the
bush flourishes begt on a damp soil, and
if there te an uudrained swale on the
premises we may safely look i'or ttie
quince bushes there. More frequently
than otherwise they stand in the grass,
receive no cultivation, and after a few
brief years die, either from the attacks
f the borer or from stagnant water.
Under such treatment the trees have no
chance to bear frrit and make them
selves profitable. The quince wants a
deep, rich, rather moist soil, hut it must
always be well drained. Good corn
laud, that will bear irai'mum crops of
grain will bear good quinces. Xo Iruit
pays better for thorough cultivation,
and the ground should always be kept
under the spade or plow, and should, if
we want abundant fruit, receive a good
dressing of manure every season. The
bush or tree requires very little other
care than the occasional thinning out
of the branches if they ciowd too
closely. The thinning of the fruit,
where it sets abundantly, will increase
the size and profitableness of the crop
that remains. The fruit, as we'l as the
flower, is quite ornamental, and au at
tractive feature in October and Novem
ber. The Apple or Orange quince is by
far the best variety. It ripens earlier
and brings the best price in market.
The quince is easily propagated from
cuttings, and this is the simplest and
best method of multiplying a desirable
variety. Cuttings put down in the
spring in a moist, well drained soil, a
little fchaded, will root about as readily
as the currant. In mak.ng a planta
tion the young trees should be set at
least ten feet apart, and if the soil is
rich, fourteen feet will be none too
much.
Hints Aboit Houses. If a colt is
never allowed to get an advantage, it
will never know that it possesses a
Dower that man cannot control, and it
made familiar with strange objects it
will not become skiltish and nervous.
If a horse is made rccustomed from his
eHrlv days to have objects hit him on
the heels, back and hips, he will pay no
attention to the giving out of the har
ness, or a wagon running against mm
at ny unexpected moment. We once
saw an aged lady drive a bigu spirited
horse, attached to a wagon, dowu a
nt-ep hill, with no hold back straps upon
the barness, aud she assured us that
there was no danger, for her son accus
tomed his hordes to all kinds of usages
and sights that commonly drive that
animal into a frenzy of fear and excite
ment. A gun cau be fired from the
back of a horse, an umbrella held over
bis head, a railroad engine pass close
bv. his heels butnied with sticks, and
the animal takes it all as a natural con
dition of things, if only taught by caie
tul management that he will not be in
tired thereby.

Transplanting Kxpemfxce. Plants
should be placed in a hole filled with
water, and the roots covered witn cry
earth. They will not wilt when set in
this way. Dig the boles first and carry
the water along in a pail and pour it In
setting the plant as soon as possible.
The water at the roots will keep the
plaut iresh and green, and the dry
earth around it at the surface will keep
tiie moisture from evaporating. Tomato
plants grown in hot beds are generally
tall, slender things; they should be set
In the same way and bent over so that
the stalks may be bent over and covered
with soil, leaving only the heads out of
the ground. This is the layering pro
cess, and when thus set they will do
much better; new roots will start out
from the stalks or stems, and the plants
will not be knocked about so much by
the wind.
Twu Courting.
But it is the story of Ursula's court
ship, as she herself once told it to a
tea-ing and favorite child, tiiat the
reader shall have as that of another
"woman who dared."
It happened in this wise. Mr. Mat
thew Griswuld, tall , shy and awkward
but scholarly and kind, early in his life
wooed a lady in a distant town, who
had another string to her bow in the
person of a village doctor. For a long
time she had kept her I.y me lover in a
state of uncertainty, in the hope that
she might draw out a proposal from his
professed rival. After some months of
this dallying, Mr. Griswold determined
to have the matter settled, and so one
day rode to the town, entered her house
and once more tendered heart and hand,
"Oh, Mr. Grisnold, you must give
me more time," said the lady.
"I give you your lifetime, miss," was
the indignant reply; whereat the youth
bowed himself out, flung himself into
the saddle and galloped away forever,
leaving the maiden who maiden was
forevermore, as her bird in the bush
never was caught.
To Matthew, disconsolate at his beau
tiful home amid that magnificent grove
of elms that still si. elter the old Griswold
homestead at Black Mali, on the shore
of the Sound, just east of the mouth of
the Connecticut liiver, apjieared soon
after his cousin Ursula, a little his sen
ior in years, but inheriting the beauty,
pride and ready wit of her grandmother
Martha.
She "came, saw, cenquered;" but,
warned by his past experience.Matthew
was slow to speak, though his looks and
actions betrayed li is feelings toward his
pretty cousin. Things ran on this way
for a space until one stormy clay, near
the close of her visit, Ursula, descend
ing the dark, old oaken staircase, sud
denly encountered her cousjn ascend
ing. Meeting him more than half way,
she, stopping suddenly, said sweetly:
"What did you say, cousin Matthew ?"'
"Oh, I didn't speak ; I didn't say any
thing." High time you did, cousin; high
time you did."
The future Governor was not slow to
take the hint, and speedily found his
tongue ; and this is how Ursula Wolcott
became Ursula Griswold.and fortwenty
five years always had a near relative in
the Governor's chair in old Connecticut.

SCIENTIFIC.
Coloration of Mtta'j. The Induttrie
Progrtstive Is responsible for the follow
ing statement: Metals may be rapidly
colored by covering their surfaces with
a thin layer of sulphuric acid. Accord
ing to the thickness of the layer and the
duration of Its action, there may be ob
tained tints of gold, copper, carmine,
chestnut brown, clear anil'ne blue, and
reddish white. These tints are all
brilliant, and if care be taken to scour
the metallic ' objects before treating
them with the acid, the coloring will
sutler nothing from the polishing. On
making a solution of 640 gra'rs of lead
acetate . In 3,400 grains of water, and
warming the mixture to 88 or 90 deg.,
it decomposes and gives a precipitate of
sulphuret of lead 11 the black flakes.
If metallic object be immersed In the
bath, the precipitate is deposited upon
it, and the color produced will depe id
on the thickness of the deposit. Care
must be taken to warm the objects to be
treated gradually, to that the coloration
may be uniform. Iron treated in this
way has the aspect of bluish steel; zinc,
on thecontrafy, becomes brown. On
using an equal quantity of sulphuric
acid, instead of the lead acetate, and
warming a little more than in the first
case, common bronze may be colored of
a magnificent red or green, which is
very durable. Very beautiful imitations
of marble may be obtained by covering
the bronze objects, warmed up to 100
deg., with a solution of lead thickened
with gum tragacanth, and atterward
submitting them to the action of the
precipitate spoken of above.
A method of reproducing the famous,
because rare, fire-gilded glass of the
Egyptians has been recently patented,
and, from the results attained, it would
appear that the inventor, if he has not
discovered the ancient process, has de
viled an excellent substitute. Fire
gilded glass is glass Into which gold Is
so worked that many hundreds of years
have failed to effect any change, or to
tarnish the gold. The trusties of the
British Museum were so plersed with
the result of the modern process, that
thev accepted from the invenotr, M.
DTIussey, specimens in his recovery of
a lost art. The process consists In in
troducing gold leaf or platinum into the
body of the glass, aud amalgamating
the precious metal with the glass Dy
means of a blowpipe, an opertion which
also serves to produce a perfectly inde
structible covering to the metal and the
designs traced. 1 he product so much
resembles the ancient work that the
method Is likely to find a tolerablv wii'e
field of usefulness or, at least, of profit
to its inventor.
Electrotyping. La Xatvre states that
some specimens o! metal work now on
exhibition in the halls of the Academy
are being greatly admired, and are mis
taken by every one for silver, until the
secretary explains that this effect has
been obtained by M. Gaiffe in deposit
ing a coating of cobalt on red copper by
means of a battery, It would seem as if
this new conquest of electroplating
might be applied to engraving; and to
show that it may be, the author sends
two proola, one taken from an ordinary
copper plate, and the other from the
same plate "cohalted." The advantage
of this process lies, first, in the durabil
ity of the cobalt, which allows of a
great number of impressions, and sec
ondly, in the fact that the plate being
exhausted, nothing is easier than to re
move the cobalt without harming the
copper, and then to cover it again with
a new coating. Nickel, which is so
readily applied to metals, will not admit
ot such a manipulation.
Xature, says Dr. Hermann J. Klein,
of Koln, with his a' , inch dialvte by
rioisl. discovered some time ago on the
moon s surface a great black crater on
the Mare Vaporum, and a little to the
northwest of the well-known crater
Hyginus. He describes the crater as
being nearly as large as Hyginus, or
about three miles in diameter, being
deep and full of shadow, and as form
ing a conspicuous object on the dark
gray Mare Vaporum. So far the Eng
lish observations of the new crater have
been perfectly in accord with those of
lr. Klein, aud, if the existence of this
new crater be confirmed, it will form
the strongest possible evidence of a real
change on the surface of the moon, a
change, moreover, of a volcanic nature

Around the Melon.
There is always a crowd of people at
the laying of a corner-stone, at a boat
race, trotting match, or a military par
ade, but nocounteuiince weais that look
of intense interest which is visible
when twenty-five or thirty citizens
gather around a two-shilling water
melon and discuss the awful fcjystery
concealed beneath the rind. After the
melon has been "hefted," thumped.
pressed and squeezed by each one of
the group in turn, the man who has
crossed the Alps, shot tigers in India,
met the Czaa of Russia, and cleaned
out Sitting Bull on the plains of America
declares his candid belief that it is a
ripe melon. Then the man who has
owned nineteen different farms, mar
ried four different wives, written two
books on agriculture, and raisej melons
by the million, asserts that the specimen
before them is green. The crowd
divide off, yea and nay, and the owner
of the melon pulls out bis knife and
proceeds to slowly perform the opera
tion of "plugging." The silence is so
deep that the ticking of a watch sounds
like a fire alarm. Men can be seen to
shut their jaws and grow pale. Not a
word not a whisper till the old jack-
knife has performed its work. When
the "plug" is pulled out to view, every
eye is turned upon it, every heart gives
a throb, and the silence is broken by a
general veil of :

Frederick tlie Crest.
Frederick the Great was peculiar in
dietics as in other things. A strong
man, he took strong food. "To-day,"
Zimmerman writes, "the King has
taken a great quantity of soup made of
the strongest gravy drawn from the
most healing meats. With it he mixed
a large tablespoonful of pounded mace
aud pounded ginger. He then ate a
large slice of beef stewed in brandy.
This he followed npby a copious allow
ance of an Italian dish, composed half
of maize flower and half of Parmesan
cheese. To this he added the juice of
the garlic, and the whole is fried in
butter till it acquires a crust as thick
as one's finger. This is called polenta.
At length," continued Zimmerman,
"the King, praising theexeellentappe-
tite which the dandelion had given
him, concluded the scene with a large
plate of eel pie, so hot and so highly
seasoned that it seemed to have been
baked in hell." Then he concludes:
"While at the table the King fell asleep
and was seized with convulsions."
DOMESTIC.
About Pot atom. Fried potatoes. In
slices about as thin as paper, have come
to be a Boston notion, and are likely to
be as popular abroad aa brown bread or
baked beans. Various names have been
given to them, as various persons have
gone Into the business ; but the genuine,
original article ia pre Dared at Revere
Beech, where hundreds of barrels of
potatoes are used every week, and em'
ployment given to a large number of
bands in peeling and slicing the pota
toes. They are sold by the pound and
are not enlv to le had of the grocers
and In markets, but at the corners of
the streets. There never was a better
time for the business, for potatoes,
which were first Introduced Into Eng
land nearly three hundred years ago
from America, were rever better in our
markets than they are now. The number
of varieties are almost innumerable,
and the methods of cultivation almost
perfect. The variety long known as
Lady's Fingers, we fear is wholly lost
It was a fine, delicate potato for baking,
and has left behind it no substitute for
itself. A new kind of potato bug Is
just reported in Michigan.
A Kiicipk for White Caxk. Beat
one pound sugar and fourteen ounces
butter to a cream, add one cup of sour
milk, to which beat one teaspoonful of
soda (dissolved), flavor with citron, ana
the last thing stir in the whites of
twelve eggs, beaten very stiff. Another
way. Two cups of white sugar, one
tablespoonful of butter, rubbed together,
to which add one cup of sweet crea n,
two cups of flour, into which one tea
spoonful of cream of tartar has been
sifted, add half teaspoonful of soda (dis
solved), flavor to suit the taste, and the
lhst thing add the well-beaten whites of
five eggs. All cake must be well Deaten
before the whites of eggs are added.
They ahould be the last thing, and
stirred in lightly.
Yellow Fever Preventives Many
of our old citizens think that pulverized
willow charcoal is almost a sure pre
ventive of yellow fever. They point to
the fact that many families constantly
used it duringevery visitation of yellow
fever, and that not one of them had the
disease. The proper way to use it is
mixed with a little sugar and water, a
tablespoonful at a dose, once or twice a
day belore meals. It can be lud of any
druggist. Others have great confidence
In turpentine. They say that it is the
best disinfectant of rooms now known,
and that Bronze John refuses to call
when turpentine is kept constantly
open in small vessels in every room. A
little poured in a saucer and kept in
every room in dwellings, is sufficient.
J. C. McCckoy t Co., Philadelphia,
Pa., publish a uew work by Rev. Dr.
March, entitled From Dark to Dawjc.
Dr. March is one of the best word
painters. He vivifies whatever he
touches, and the dullest story becomes
a romance under his hands, the Intense
Interest of his narrations and descrip
tions is developed out of the theme; his
power is in great part that of clear and
large vision. The Scriptures abound in
matter for vivid, picturesque, elevated
portraiture aud description; and it is
Dr. March's merit that he has reba
nished some old themes and found
many neglected ones that burn like
sapphire under his touch.
Crab Apples. Make a syrup, allow
ing the same weight of sugar as apples.
Let it cool, then put In the apples, a
few at a time so as to avoid crowding
and breaking. Boil until they begin to
break, then take them out of the kettle.
Boil the syrup in the course of three or
four days and turn It while hot upon
the apples, and this continue to do at
intervals of two or three days until the
apples appear to be thorougnly pre
served. Washing Lace. Washing lace is a
piece of work that ought never to be

several waters, sometimes allowing the
process to continue for weeks, but never
to wring it or squeeze it.

Forty-Five Mile a Day on Foot.
Not long since Jim Hicks was brought
here from Dickson county for safe keep
ing, Charlotte not having such an in
stitution as a jail. The mother of Hicks
got uneasy about her wayward son, a
few days ago, and began to have sleep
less nights on account of receiving no
tidings from him. She at last prevailed
upon another son and her brother to
come to Nashville and see how "Jim was
getting along." So they started at 4.30
a. M. and reached the jail at 6 r. m..
having walked forty-three miles.
"Did you stop anywhere?" asked
Green Morrow.
"Only once or twice," said the elder.
"We stayed over an hour at Bon Aqua
Springs, where the people had just
begun to stir about. We then stopped
a while at 'Rock (Judge's) 'Spring.'"
Among other melancholy news they
informed Jim that old Mrs. What's-her-name's
hogs had got into his corn, and
that the crop had been suffering in con
sequence; that somebody had broken
down the fence, and that things gener
ally were getting into a very bad shape
on account of his visit to Nashville.
When they parted Jim had written a
letter to a a married brother, which they
were to deliver.
"How far does Jim's married brother
live from your house?" asked Joseph
Cox, who had become interested from
having indited the brother's letter.
"Only six miles," they said.
"And do you propose to carry this
letter there before you go home to-morrow
night?"
"Oh yes, it's only a little piece out of
the way."
'Forty-three miles from this place to
your home?" ejaculated Cox, "with an
addition of twelve miles out of the way
for the letter fifty-five miles and how
long will it take you to make it?"
"About three miles an hour without
worrying," said the elder.
"The champion walkers of theworld.'.
said Jailer Yarbrough enthusiastically
as they turned away from the cell to
leave.
"We'd a returned to-night," said the
elder, "but for a little business I have
got to do to-morrow morning.
They left at 6 a. m. and were met at
Bellevue, fourteen miles distant, tramp
ing homeward, at 9 a m .
HUMOROUS.
Cornered at Last. His wife had
probably been arguing and coaxing for
years, for be looked like a man whose
spirit had been worn out oeiore ne nau
consented to have his photograph taken.
He halted at the door of a gallery as if
trying to Invent some excuse, but she
pushed him up-Btairs and he was In for
it at last. He hoped the photographer
would be crowded with work, but he
wasn't. He hoped the camera was out
of order, but it was in prime condition.
"Can't take me to-dav. can your" he
queried.
"Oh! yes take you right away,
was the reply.
"Have I got to sit up straight?"
"No; sit as you please."
"Hain't these cloibe-j too light?"
"Not a bit."
"I can't spare over three minutes."
"Verv well I'll take vou in two."
There was no way to get rid of it, and
with a despairing look around and a
frown at his wife the old cKap dropped
into a chair with a sigh, shut his eyes,
crossed his leg, and groaned out:
"Well, if I must I mutt-bring on
your laughing-gas, and don't let my
wife go through my pockets wnne l ui

Cheering Indications. A few davs
since a Detroit wile called at the office
of a prominent physician to consult him
regarding her husbaud's state of health,
and being invited to explain the points
she said:
"Well, he eats enough, and doesn't
shiik work, but be doesn't seem to have
any ambition to go anywhere. He
hasn't been to church for a year, won't
even go to the door of an evening wnen
a brass band is playing, and he seems
to have fallen into a sort of lethargy
and despondency. I think he will go
crazy yet over his melancnoiy."
The doctor agreed to look into his case
in a day or two, and when be finally
called at the bouse he was met by the
wife, whose countenance betrayed per
fect satisfaction.
"Is there any change?" queried the
physician.
"Oh ! yes a great change I" she re
plied. "A friend came along last night
and gave Obediah a ticket to the negro
minstrels, and he was so anxious to go
thut he hardly ate a moutniui oi supper.
I think the indications are cheeruu,
doctor, perfectly cheering."
The gas suddenly went out at a San
Jose concert the other evening, and
when it was relit a young lady in
dignantly accussed a happy-looking
man who sit on the next bench of kiss
ing her in the darkness. The man tried
to explain, but some of the lady's
friends seized and proceeded to nre mm
out with expedition. As they reached
the door, the victim managed to gasp
out, "Me kiss a woman 1 Why, I'm
iust divorced!" That settled it. He
was apologized to, and the man of ex
pcrieuce proudly resumed his seat.
A mono the peculiarities of courting
in Texas is that, the "young feller" is
occasionally asked to step outside the
house and bold an apple or potato for
the girl's brothers to shoot at, and it is
considered highly unsociable not to
comply. It is equally note-worthy that
the well-to-do young suitor never gets
hit.
A Cockxev Inquired at the post-office
the other day for a letter for "'t-nry

How Gas U Made.
It is very easy to make gas, but it
costs much trouble to purify it, so that it
may burn well and give off no noxious
odors. Below is a sort of gas catechism,
which conveys a good deal of important
"light" on this subject:
"How do they make gas?"
"First, they put about two bushels of
bituminous coal in a long air-tight re
tort- This retort is heated red-hot,
when the gas bursts out of it, as you see
it burst out of soft coal when on the
parlor-flre. The gas passes off through
pipes. A ton of coal will make ten thou
sand cubic feet of gas. The gas, as i)
leaves the coal, Is very impure."
"How do they purify it?"
"First, while hot, it is run off into
another building; then it is forced
through long, perpendicular pipes, sur
rounded with cold water. This cools
the gas, when a good deal of tar con
denses from it and runs down to the
bottom of the perpendicular boiler, half
full of wood laid crosswise. Then ten
thousand streams of cold water are
spurted through the boiler. Through
the mist rain, and between the wet
sticks of wood the gas passes, coming
out washed and cleansed. The am
monia condenses, joins the water and
falls to the bottom."
"What next?"
"Well, next, the gas is purified. It
is passed through vats of lime and oxide
of iron, which takes out the carbonic
arid and ammonia."
"What next?"
"The gas is now pure. It passes
through the big station-meter, then
through the main and pipes, until it
reaches the gas-jets in your room. Then
it burns, while you all scold because it
does not burn better."

YOUTHS' COLUMN.
Nothing to do. Kit had taken a slight
cold, and so she did not- have to go to
school. Although glad enough to stay
at home, she could think of nothing in
particular to do, and after breakfast she
wandered around the house aimlessly
for awhile. She finally strayed into hei
father's study. No one was there. On
the table was the unfinished sermon,
just where her father had left it. Kit
glanced over the neatly written pages,
but did not attempt to read them. Then
she went Into the sitting-room; but her
mother was not there, tor she had gone
ouc also. Kit returned to the study,
feeling a trifle lonesome; and, for lack
of better employment, she built a bright
fire on the hearth. She placed the
back log and fore-log in their places;
and, this done, she Bat down iu a big
chair to enjoy the blaze. She had not
sat long, when she beard a queer rustle,
and, turning toward the door, she saw
enter a half dozen crash towels. They
were sighing at a tremenudous rate;
and finally one of them said quite plain
ly: "She promised to hem us the first
day she could; and she hasn't thought
of us once.
Kit's conscience reproached her. She
was just going to excuse herself, when
a pair of thick-soled walking-boots
shuttled in.
'Seven buttons off," they groaned
dismally: "and she declared she would
sew them on the first day she had
time."
Kit felt much ashamed; but she could
think of nothing to say, so she sat very
still, blushing, however, a good deal,
for the crash towels and the walking'
boots were staring at her most unpleas
antly.
The silence was growing oppressive.
The towels and th shoes stared and
stared, until poor Kit felt very much
like crying; and she would have done
so bad not her attention been attracted
by a funny scraping sound out in the
hall. 1 he towels bent their heads for
ward to look; and the shoes turned
themselves squarely around, as there
entered Kit upper bureau drawer.
Such a looking thing as it was t It was
crammed full with ribbons, pins, bitsof
jewelry, collars, culls, morsels of very
sticky tally candy, faucy work, chest
nut shells, handkerchiefs, gloves, some
apples, notes from the school-girls a
little of every thing, in fact; and it
seemed as though Kit had stirred them
all together like a pudding. I lie crash
towels laughed disagreeably, aud the
boots squeaked in disdain.
"She was going to put me In order as
soon as she had time," said a knob of
the bureau drawer meaningly. Bang!
From otl a shelf dropped a fat History
of the United States, and as it landed on
the floor in leaves opened at the account
of the settlement of New York by the
Dutch, in 1G10.
Kit's cheeks grew redder yet. She
had promised her father to read that,
sometime when she hail nothing else to
do; and here she had d wad led away
nearly a whole morning in trying to
amuse herself. She looked sadly at the
unhemmed towels, the grinuing shoes,
the disorderly bureau-drawer, and tlie
History; and they looked at her in such
a disagreeable way that Kit put ber
hands up before her face aud began to
sob. straightway the shoes hopped up
and commenced to kick her, the crasn
towels slapped her face, the bureau
drawer flung apples at her, and the fat
Ui.-tory climbed upon top of her head
and began to pusli her into the tire.
With a great ff.rt. Kit tried to get
away ; and at last she succeeded in roll
ing otl her chair to the coor. 1 lien sue
woke up. She moved her eyes anil
stared round the quiet room; and after
a second sue realized that slie had been
dreaming. Straightway she rose and
went to her own room, took the six
crash towels out of the basket, aud
he.uiueJ them tiil dinner-time.
Why She Lovtd Her. Backward and
forward in her little rocking-chair went
Alice Lee, now clasping her beautiful
doll to her bosom, aud singing low sweet
lullabies; then smoothing its flaxen
curls, patting its rosy checks, and
whispering softly, "I love you, pretty
dolly;" and anon casting wistful
glances toward her mother, who sal in
a Lay window, busily writing. After
what seemed to be a very long time to
the little daughter, Mrs. Lue pushed
aside the papers and, looking up, said
pleasantly, "1 am through tor to-day,
Alice; you may now make all the noise
you choose." Scarcely were the words
uttered, ere the little one hail down to
her and nestled her head ou her loving
heart, saying earnestly :
"I'm so glad ; I wanted to lave you so
much, mamma."
"Did you, darling?" And she clasped
her tenderly. "I am very glad my
Alice loves me so; but I fancy you were
not very lonely while 1 wrote; you aud
dolly seemed to be having a happy time
together."
"Yes, we had, mamma; but I got
tired alter a while of loving her.
"And why?"
"Oti. because she never loves me
back!"
'And that is why you love me?"
"That is one tchy, mam ma; but not
the first one, or the best.
"And what is the fiist and best?"
"Why, mamma, don't you guess?"
and the blue eyes grew very bright and
earnest. "It's because you loved me
when I was too little to love you back;
that's why I love you so."
"We love Him because He first loved
us," whispered the mother; and fer
vently she thanked God tor the little
child-teacher.
Tommy is fond of sugar, and asks his
mother for some to eat with his straw
berries. She refuses. He appears re
signed, but adds, gravely, "You know,
mamma, what happened rouud the
corner? There was a little boy, and
his mother would not give him any
sugar on his strawberries and "
"And " "And next day he fell into
a well."
At "Frank" who had been taught to
believe that he had been made of dust,

"Ma, I think the dust looks as it there

made."
A Mule That Vual For Sale.
He was showing the man the new bay
mule that he was working in a team
with the old gray. "You warrant him
sound and perfectly kind and gentle?"
the man said. "My wife and children
drive him and he is a perfect pet.
Comes " into tlie house like a dog.''
"Easy to shoe ?" asked the man. "Well
I guess so; fact is, I never ha J him shod.
I don't believe in it; he works better
without it," said farmer John. "How
does he act when you put the crupper
on?" asked the man. Farmer John bes
itated. "Well, pretty good, I guess."
he said ; "fact is, I never put it on."
"How does it get on?" asked the man;
who does put It on?" "Well, I kind
of don't know," said farmer John;
"fact is, he had the harness on when I
got him, an' it fit him so well, and he
seemed to be so kind o' contented in it,
like, that I sort of never took it ofTn
him." "And how long have you had
him?" asked the man. Farmer John
chewed a wheat straw very meditative
ly. "Well," he said, "not to exceed
more'n two year, mebbe." And the
man backed a little further away, and
said he would "sort of look round a
little further before be bought, like."
And farmer John never saw him again
not even unto this day. I

Night In Cheyenne.
At night Cheyenne is a whirlpool of
excitement, one hundred drinking nd
gambling saloons In full blast, brass
bands clamoring through the streets,
myriads of lamps with their reflectors
flashing their vivid rays through the
dark shadows on the palpitating mass
of human beings surglug through the
wide avenues. MeDaniel's, Belle Union
and another varieties theatre open their
yawning doorways to the stream of
mortals flowing constantly in and out.
The former is the prominent place ; it
consists of tw o spacious balls, hand
somely arranged and ornamented and
kept in one building. The theatrical
ball is resplendent with gaudy, frescoed
walls and ceiling, the brilliant colors
being in keeping with the flashy tastes
of the patrons. A range of twenty pri
vate boxes form a halt-oval above the
extensive lower hall, where the per
formers, principally female singers,
congregate duringjhe intervals between
the acts. The stage is of pretty large
size, gayly decorated. General admis
sion to the concert saloon, 25 cents, in
cluding a drink or a cigar; up stairs,
25 cents extra. Every night the place
is crowded witn this mixed population,
representing nearly all races llietawny
Indian in blanket, breech clout and leg
gings ; the greasy Mexican, dark visaged
aud sullen; the Chinaman, childlike
and bland; the negro; the Keunacka,
and finally the white. Nearly all wear
the regulation sombrero; buckskin
suits, gayly ornamented with beads,
are worn by many, but the majority
are attired in the California drilling.
Of course, everyone is armed with a six
shooter or bow le, and shooting or cut
ting scrapes are a frequent result of
inebriated contention. The saloon is
overflooded with girl waiters.
The gambling ball, like all the rest
in town, is run night and day, Sunday
included, openly, and is attended and
patronized by both sexes, old and
young. The games operated are faro,
keno, roulette, rouge et noir, vingt un,
lansqurnetie, freeze out, poker, and a
number of other card games. The ta
bles are constantly crowded and money
changes hands rapidly. This hall 1
equally as large as the theatre, and also
trimmed up; it is connected with the
other by three wide doorways. The
gambling is done with chips," which
you receive in exchange for your cash ;
The stakes are limited from 10 cents to
412.50 In faro. McDamels's is gener
ally considered a "square game" anil
liberally patronized. Some 'brace"
games are dealt in town, but by the
professionals are avoided. Four dance
dalls are run in different parts of town,
and are well kttended, but 1'iey are the
most degraded of all the debauched
dens.
Environed With Dancer.
The dweller or temporary sojourner in a
maianous region of couutry is environed with
daut-r. Besides inhaling at every breath an
atmosphere saturated with an infectious put
son, be also dnuks water which is in most in
stances likewise ltupreKuated with the fever
aud ai;oe breeding miasmata. If a bilious
subject, deficient in stamina, or irregular in
habit of bsdy or digestion, b.s pen! is much
increased, as these abnormal conditions are
extremely favorable to the contraction of ma
larial disease. Hut this danger may be safely
encountered with tbe assistance of U us tetter's
ctomsL-h bitters, which completely nullifies
the atmospheric virus, uid neutralizes tbe
coustitueuts of miasnia-tainted water. This
benign ant dote to disease eradicates and pre
vents feveis of an iiiUrmitteut and bilious re
mittent type, besides effecting a thorough Bud
permauent reform of those enfeebled or irreg
ular conditions of ths system which invite not
on'y malaria, but other diseases equally to be
dreaded.

Hoofland's German Bitters.
During ths warm season ths nerves become
enfeebled and the whole system debilitated.
The stomach loses its power of digestion, tbe
liver becomes congested and sluggish, causing
constipation or diarrhea, dysentery and chol
era morbus ; and the prevalence of more or
less malaria at this season engenders airus,
bilious or typhoid fevers, often ot serious im
port To avoid these consequences, take,
night and morning, a tablespoonful of Hoof
land's German Bitters ; it is a splsndid tonio
and alterative, that will restore the appetite
and digestion, tone the nerves, regulata the
liver aud strengthen and build up the whole
syvtem to withstand the summer heat and ail
its baneful influences.
