Polly Gordon was au old uiaid Jiving ia Kansas; she was not bora there, for the state lias not been long enough, set tled, and I "will not mention the place of her nativity, but lest the excusable state pnde ol Ohio people be hurt, 1 will say it was not Ohio; and yet she had euergy enoneli at any hard wort that offered itself to entitle her to the Presidency, if women were eligible to that pobiliou. She was able liodicd. and iu her way strong minded, eveu to olstinacy. 1 hough she "didn't b 'lieve in them wiiiiniiu's lights worn in: a the had lieerd tell of," she always voted in school inee'ing, the Kansas law gives that privilege to women, "because if they mean to waste mo people s money on "too much schooliu' and liigh ediea tlu', I'm a goin to do all I kiu to pre vent it," was her reason for votiug. She wore her drcssis made in the stvle that prevailed when bhe first put nil long dresses, and her scanty hair from one year's end to another was twisted in a little round knot aud piuned ou top of the back of her head. "The fashions kiu come around to mo when they want to, I've no time, and ain't goiii' to rtin round after 'em," was her invariable reply when some friends dared to auggest an improving change. Her highest ambition on the womanly side ot her uature was to have the fittest colored, fctr.ped rag carpets, tiie nicest drawu-in rngs ot impossible roses and m-probable cats; the whitest clothes ana lighest bread of any housekeeper. Sue carried on a little farm, and among larmers it was Ler boast and pride that her calves were biggest, and pis fattest; that her com yielded most uAhe acre, and she never lost a chicken or turkey by pip or cholera. Sue o.uld scarcely rcd or write, despised book-laxniu' as no count towards gitti j along,'" and took no interest lu the world outside beyond the prices of her crops and tne groceries she had to buy. Mrs. Prudence Volney, for the last four years Tolly's neighbor, also living on a larui 1 may fearlessly add ttiat she was from Ohio, was a refined, int. llieut woman, very fond of reading, and Pol.y wus always lecturing her on iter expensive titotes. 1 uc tuink it's too fochsh iu you to waste your money tiiat way, and spend vour time, too.

Mrs. Volnev took this advice from ToUv in good part, for the maiden lady was "really kind Hearted and well dis liosed, too ignoraut of etiquette anu propriety, or the most common things belonging to culture, and i might add civihzed lite, to be aware of tne iuier tiuence ot her suggestions.

I've no time to look at such trash aa' no money to thiow away ou it; an' if you want a piece of my mind, I'll tell yoa you'd better pitch into hard worK than to go around iu such low business!" and as she always gave a call to the dog, who stood by grinning with White teeth that added to tne i fleet of Pollys remarks, the agent mildly saiJ, -uoou uo. tired, crab-vise, with meek side glances in the dog's uuectiun, and never Came But Polly was humau tmd a woman, ad iu a state where men do so muen more aoound than the other sex she had scarcely wondered why, with so many subttanUal attractions of farm stoci,tuil crins, and lt t'' strong, bony band had not been s.unt ui matVimoLy. As she giew older and accumulated wore, she oltea felt the disadvantage of not being around so as to know tne prices of tilings, but she was entirely ignorant of the value or use of a newspaper in feiving her tne information wanted. Ucsides, sue wearied of tending her stock and bo d ing the plow, aud it vexed her sti more to .ay her hard earned ca to ome indiUereut hired man whom she leaied or knew slighted his work, or in some way cheated her. One uay while chuflYr.ua ibmt a plow, she noticed ou the preininm liat ol the couuty fan-: . . .

Volney spoke of the iaruu-r as "it," soothed her inatdenlv modesty, for as said "farmer" was only a snptKMuble case, she c u d not vet bring herself to the tamitiirity of the "he" and "him" which the assured wife of several years gives to the husband of her voutb. as il there were bat one masculine iu the world! Mrs. Volney was deliirhted that after all lier invectives and dechLrations. Polly had become recouciled to tho idea of eveu having a paper in her house, and iu trying to btaer clear of any discussion, she led poor Polly further astray by baving: On, yes, the Parmer would be so much help to vou about giving the pre vailing prices all over the state; in that way you kuow when corn, butter, stock. aud poultry are advancing, and the oest unit) to sell. Otherwise, we wo men, tied to the house, not able to lie out and learn about tuuujs as men do, are at the mercy of simulators, who come round, buy our tilings and take all the profits themselves. ' "That's so," said Polly, sadly. 1 suld some of my Ooru last week liveceats ou a bu-.hel too low." "If yoa had had the Farmer, you would nave known that coru was lust advaueing aud held on. 1 knew it and so was saved. "Do you s'pose if I get the p-euiiitni, I'll have the larmer iu time for tall plowing?" Mrs. V'oluey did not see the connec tion, and was greatly puzzled to under stand Polly's aitaaou, but attributed it to her embarr.issmeut for this siiddeu conversion and confession of Lath id newspapers, and answered: . "Oh, yes, you will get the money aud Farmer as soon as the fair is over." There Were ouly two weeks ttil the lair, and they were very bu-y ones to Poliy, who cleaned house trom garrjt to cellar, and lnado many cnaugds to suit the t.tstes of the possible coiuiag farmer; her old loves were forgotten m the lervor of the new hoiK.-, aud so many tunes w.u hiT p.t ca; driven olT tue big rocking c iiur that she grew anxious, gray and tuiuu She a:so bought fifteen yards of green alpaca at a barnim, u'ul going over to Mrs. oiuej' s with unwoutod basulul- nens asked lor polonaise anl overkirt patterns. "1 shall want one suit jast right if I shuuid Kit thii farmerl" she explained io the .uncouiireaeuduig Mrs, oluey, "and I tliount I'd go to tue wuolo ligger for tui ouct." "The very idea of having a newspaper as an educator, this pr. uiium offered may be the entering wedge that shull break up Polly's iguorauee aud let a' iIolh! of liht on her soul," Mrs. Vol ney said to her daughter, after Polly had gone with the patterns aud full instructions how to use thi-ni, to which she had listened as attentively as any devotee of fashion. She "set" four "sponges" for liar prize loaf, and made two loaves from each "set-tui," aud at the appouilod day, arrayed in her most extr tordiuary dre polonaise, overskirt and triauued skirt, with three carefully selected loaves she listened to the fair. While ticketing them she anxiously asked the polite olhcial : "Will I git the farmer and five dollars to ouct if I dia- the first premium?" "Without the siighk-st doubt, madam; I have the premiums here on baud to be given as soon as colled for.' Polly gazed earuet'y at the men who were iu the oillce, feeling that if her "farmer' was as anxious to his fate as she was iu regard to him, his looks would letray him. But she ni'ght as well have studied the Sphinx as their faces, so she followed her loaves, and when once iu place, hovering round them as a hen near her brood, listening to every uor,l said, as if from the general public opinion she might get a clew to iter fate.

The pure breed is alinoit extinct. We fiud auy day in a New l.uglauj town better dogs of the ew- louudiand type than I have seen during a week's stay in the city of St. John's. The streets are tilled with mongrels, big dogs, spaniel, .Lstpainiaux, and mastills, but almost all low curs of vde breed and pattern. Well informed Newfoundland ers smile satirically wheu you extol their fam us dogs, aud go so far as to deny that tho auiuutl originated in the island at all. As a rule, the big block Newfouudlaid dog is a much abused b.asl. lie is sought out more for strength than beauty, kept ou small diet, used iu winter to draw heavy sledges of wood, and is made anythmg but a household diviui'y. iiis temper is good up to five ycaia old, wheu ne is apt to ticcouic snapish. Tho water is his natural houli;, anl he wJl bteal away at night aud travel long distances for his bath. The tests of his purity of breed aud general merits are thick-web-bed foot, iiooi bushy tad. and the comely shupe and poise of the head, aud deep black color on the root ol the mouth. His degeuetation is charged to the abuse of him as a beast of burden aud to one of the island's old laws to protect sheep, w hich has given a police man filty cents for bhooting dogs at large a statute uuder which mauy line dogs have been ruthlessly slaughtered. The earliest records of the ishuid show that the aboriginal dog of tho country was a good-tenipcred creature of great size, aud so strong that he could draw from the water seals weighing hundreds of pounds, lie had a passionate fond ness for the sea, lived ou raw fish, and was a skili'ul fisher, swimming rapidly under water and catching his prey by tho mouth. A case is cited where one of these dogs was seen catching fish for sheer sport, heaping them up on shore, and then plunguig in for otuer". The same records prove, however, that this dog was of an extinct species, very different from the present Sewiound hind, though the latter, ia this latitude, is very fond of fish.

The best advice for them to follow would comprise two direc tions: Dou't plant too larte bop yards at first; and, having once planted, stay by tbe business for a term of years, if the soil be suitable and the location otherwise ttood. Fine black and easily worked loam, near a river, and of good depth, is a desirable soil. The varieties are known as the early grape, and the late Holding. The last naaicTt, though tot a heavy bearer, helps to extend the aeawn, and catches the earliest market, so that it is worth p!antina to. some extjnt. The soil should be plowed at least twelve inches deep, harrowed, rolled, and broken up with the best instruments and strong horses until it is as mellow aad well prepared as if an r-..hani aroreto fu nlantpd there.

Tbe Ol.l Hall Fear The placing of bwbed wire fences around fsrnis, usurping the place of tne old rail fence, destroys half of the pleas ure of farming. Thre is something about tne old ra I fence that ia real comfortable. and the barbed wire fence is torbiddinp, cold, repubiye. Until jou come to thick of it, there does not se-m as thouih there was a treat deal of solid comfort in a rail fence, but there ia. D.d you ever see two old farmers leaning aunst a rail fence. whittling, and talking politics or a bore trade Tor hours together! They are more comfortable, and rest more than they would if they were occupying the softest sofa, or the best stuffed arm-chair in the world. There are so many shapes a man can get into, to rest, about a rail fence. First, the fanner will fold his arms and rest them on tbe top rail, and iean his breast on tbe fence, and talk for half an hour, until his legs are tired, then he will step one loot up on the second rail from the bottom, and stand and whittle for half an hour, until the top of the rail Is as pol ished as a piece of maboeauy. Then he will change teet sad lean one elbow ou the second rad from the top, and sharpen his knife on bis boot, and talk for balf an hour about bw be is going to pay the mortgage on his farm next yesr. After that position becomes irksome he will turn his back to the fence, stand on his heels. and place his two elbows en the top rail, aud lean against the fence, and for half an hour he will tell about how the old mare that he is trvinsr to trade off cleaned out all tbe teams on tht road coming back trom the celebration at town, after the tire-works on the Fourth, and how, it he warn t uxed lust as be is, and wanted tbe twenty dollars boot money to send Nathan off to the select sehxil, there is no mtn on earth could buy that mare. Then he will vet iired and stand around sideways, put his left arm up cn tbe fence, aad begin to whittle again, and sirear the man that runs the cheese factory dowu at the corners is skiunim; us farmers out of our eye-teeth. Without going into details as to ninety- nine other combinations by which a farmer can rest on, about or against a rail fence, it may no; be out of place to speak of sit ting on top of a fence. The farmers, alter trying several positions, will instiactively climb up the fence and rest on tbe top rail, their feet resting ou the third rail from the top, which is always laid with pro j -Cli m enough to nake good tooting. aad an hour will pas as the fellows talk of the times when they settled in the ccuutry, and ot tue hardships they tiavo eudured, aud how the children have grown up aud gone away, and the conversation will drift iuto a sleepy channel, and the sun will beem lo tink in tbe West, and the horny-handed sons t toil will suddeuly remeuiber that ths chores are to ce done, and with a "good night, Lige. and a, "Drop arouud agin to-morrow, Ike,' tney will separate, and one will laKe a milk-pail and a one- legged stool and go towards the lot where the cows have come home, while tbe other will c across tbe road to his barn and throw down some hay for tbe horses, aud they will both go to bed at e'ght o'clock as tired as though they had been mowing. liut they had a splendid, ea?y visit on the old rail fence. Tne fanny Thincs V lie. liave you ever reflected upon the Ve-ry mauy funny things we do, for which we can give no particular reason? How is it that we do not irive five cheers, two cheers one cheer? Why is it tbat we give three cheers aud no moref Why h it that the majority of psop'e use tbe rii!ht hand instead of tbe left, and cannot help smiling at those who use tbe latterl Why is it that a man cannot see a bun dle of toothpicks without helping hiuiseli to one when he does not need ti Wbv is it that a small boy cannot let a thin, wasted wasp fir in peace, withodt furiously gmug for it with his new straw hat; or why is it that tbe small girl will always insist upon lugging home a kitten that has not tiven learned lo open its eye ? Why is it that when one asks us ihe number of days there are in a certain month, we always say to ourselves. "Thirty days hath September. April, June and .November. Why is it that we turn to Ihe right in stead of to the left, when the left is far preferable, and if adopted would save many an accident on ra.lroails and high- ways? The driver always sits upon tne right eidc of the vehicle; in turning to his right he is farthest away from the wagon he passes, and, unless hd is an expert, can not tell huw close he com js to the wheels of the man who goes by him; whereas, if he turned to the left sido, he couia I.kS straight down, see to the fraction of an luch how close he was approaching an ob staclc, and thus avoid iu Ths emnnecr runs upon the right baud track, and sits upon the right hand side of his cab.

Gwimr ti causes we know not of, has established these curious precedents, and from observation and education we unwittingly do thousands of things that are, to say the least, funny that we cannot explain. A Heron and Weasel Xot Ions aro two gentlemen were walking along tho road from Beattock to Moffat. Scotland, when their atten tion was attracted by peculiar screams and screeches that came from a field close by. Ou proceeding to the spo: they fouud a most determined light go ing ou between a heron aud a weasel. The weasel was endeavoring b seize,! lie neck of his adversary, and uiado repeat ed leaj with that object Frequently he succeeded iu getting hold, but the heron each time managed to slinke him off; his long neck trivintt him sulUoient swiug to do so. The heron, iu return, would seize the weasel by the throat, and shake him as a terrier does a rat.

"Do cigarettes contain a firtater propor tioe of nicotine than cigars, as a rule!" asked the reporter. "M'jst cigarettes contain very much less nicotine than cigars.

"That article asserted that the propor tion of nicotine is greater iu cigarettes than in cigars i " 'll is a mistake, at least so far as re gards flue goods. The tobacco used is very much milder than that of which ci gars are matle. Our tobaccj is treated for two vtars before being made into cigar ettes, it is first stripped " "Shocking 1"' exclaimed the molest re porter. "1'hat is, the stems are removed, so thnt the sap will not permeate the lea;. Then the leaf is carefully dried, and alterward stea-ned, and before being made up it is fermented. e use every means known to extract from the tobacco all qualities that injure the hps and give a scorching sensation to the mouth an 1 throat. In consequence the cigarette smoke i?, if 1 may so cxpisv it, cooler than that of ci gars. In what the Lancet says atxiut the u.e ot cigarettes by boy, I heartily agree. Smoking, like every other unnatural and unuessary practice, is particularly harmful in ierons who have not attained tbetr full growth and development. But 1 do not see any reason for th'se tirades against cigarettes. Any physician will assert that the smoking of tobacco in pipes is the worst form of using the weed. The scientific man to whom 1 alluded a few moments ago, told me that the oil of tobacco from pipe-steuiS breeds a sore called smoker's pa'.ch on the lips, sometimes destroying tUeui entirely. In Ireland, where the use of pip is has been universal, this disease has been alarmingly prevalent, Tbe Irishman is gradually abandoning his cherished pipe though, and from year to year be sinokes more cigarettes." "Have you ever heard that cigarettes imp&ir the growth of the uiutache f asked the reporter, twirling his own. "Preposterous I" exclaimed Mr. Cuppia, "Look at mine, and rec illecl that 1 siuoue cigarettes all the while." Tne speaker posseiSed a flue, luxurUut, dark brown growth upon his upper lip, "You remember Jiapoleon 111 ?" aakel Mr. Cuppia. "Perfectly." " Well, bis mustache was historical, and y be smoked cigarettes from the time the eagle was made to light on his head at Boulogne to the day when be gave himself up a Sedan." "Does the use of cigarettes prevail to any marked extent among ladies I" "In Spain and .South Ameriei, the . fair Senoras puff daintily. In the baited States many women smoke, btil I should not call most of them ladies" 'lint some women who move in good society Buiiike, do they not "Oh, yes; but it is done in tbe sauctity of their own homes. Tue yellow s laities of tobacco on tbeir taper lingers give tbem way, however." As the reporter rise t) take his leave, Mr. Cuppia said : "lou alluded to tbe article in tho Lon don Lancet. .

Tobacco is, as I said at ths lieginoing of our conversation, a poison A normal constitution itoes not crave it' and should never come in coutact with it ; but in our nervous age. thousands of men require the soothing effect that tobacco undoulHidly gives, and those who sjioro cigarettes take their poison in a shape at once pleasant and comparatively harmless.

The Puri tans gave ns these laws, witu others which are no longer in use. The spend thrift fans have been wisely relaiued . for the reason thut they tend to keep families from want aud suffering. When : a man is wasting his property so that I his family are liable to become paupers, ; it is the duty of the officers ot the town I in which he lives to ask the courts to . declare him a spendthrift, aud to ap I iwiiit a guardian oyer him. This peti tion, once made, cannot be withdrawn. for it is made f r the benefit of the spendthrift's famdy, as well as to secure the town from ever haviag to support them. After guardian has beeu ap pointed the spendthrift cauuot mase any bimling coutra-ts except for neces saries, such aa food aud clothing If he sells any of his pcojierty, his KUar dian can take it away irom the buyer. Money borrowed to pay a lawyer for opposing tlie app nutment of the guar dian must be repaid. Bargains made by the spendthrift aud agreed to by the guard an re binding, lid must bring his lawsuits, if he has any. iu his own name. The guardiau must see that he has a good lawyer, aud tiiat the action is j rojierly tuaiiaged. For example : a guardian oueo brought suit foradivoree aguiust the wife of bis sM.-udthril't ward, and tho Jtidc;e ref used to grant it, sayiug: "It coiiid hot be kuowu that the party ever Rave his assent to tlie proscution. If he wishes a divorce aud has good ground to obtoiu one, he mast hlo his lil)el(Wif7i) in his own name. If the pro;K.-rty has been obtaiued from the HpendthrUt by baud, his guardian can get it back, though the fraud was com mitted Ix-'ore his appointment. It is the guardian's duty to see that It's ward does not sulU-r from want. Wheu the spendthrift's property is eutirely used up, the Kuariiiau may simud his own money and look to tiie town for payment. He cannot sell the ward's laud without the consent of the otlieurs of the town. They are liaolo for the spendthrift's support if tho estate is net large enough, and therefore have a right to object to any citauge in the projicrty iu which it is 1 .Veste.L i or examples of hpend- thrifts, wo miy point to tho idlers, j whom we see kmuiMug before low places iu which liquors iuo solX lu these places, t'oey iwcklessly waste their time and their money iu drinking, gambling ami dissipation. Besides these rotrnuta the criminal law provides for the punish ment of spendthrifts. Habitual drunk- arils, tue most common class of speud thri'.t.s, form a large part ot the inaOi tatits of every juiL A crime is n t ex cused because tne offender was intoxi cated wheu it wa eommitted. Ou this point a distinguished judge laid down llio law as follows : "Although the ILso of intoxicating liquors does to some ex teut blind the reason uu.l exasperate the p.essiou, yet, as a uuiu voluntarily brings it npou himself, he cauuot use it as an excuse or justification or exteuuatiou ot crime, uomoliu, auolher way in which a man may bo a spendthrift, is offon.su against tin) law. Builduigs used for g.unblhig are what are culled, legally, commoa nuisances aad the owners ro liable t imKiisoumeut. Iaiplemeuts and tools used by gamblers are daily seized aud destroyed by the police of our large cities. If a person loses a sum ot money by jiahioling, lie cau bnug a law suit against tho winner, and get it ail back. Spendthrifts who waste tueir time and niouey 111 gaming-house grog-shops are piuished by beiu; seat to prison. These saletjuards and punish ment do much good by warning foolish people from vice, and by saving families Irom tho want and suffering of ovcrty. Yt9z for The feast.
