a Two Mothers. Daring a day's travel recently an op- j portunitr vu afforded aa to observe the opposite eonrsea taken by two mothers, each with one child. Very j nar us was a yonnfr woman with a lit- j tie one, just beginning to frame sen- tenors, a child with regular features ' nl bright eyes like its mother's a lit tle thing that attracted attention from ' iU pr ttuien, and ala ! must, Isay from ! its pertnetw, too? The mother stood it upon the seat so thut the pastengers that filled the car j coiiltl have a full view of its every more- ; nient, th n began the "showing off;" t' threw kit-Mrs, shook its little hand fori id-by, reached toward the gentleman j in front, compelling his attention ; got off smart ihraes from its small voca bulary, and all tlie while the mother encurageil and even prodded its baby powers for the exhibition; at hint it in msted nion going into the lap of a lady hoe little girl carried a large wax doll; then came a scene, as it attempted t woalp the waxen beauty, and the cur tain wax not rung down until the sta tion was reached where the two obtru sive torments left the cars. Sighs of relief were breathed, and whiaper of "A spoiled baby," "a fool ish mother," and other disapprovals with many prophecies re-arding the child's future, were heard us they dis- apieareiL We were recalling the 1 . ... , , mother s protnl Ion a as sne neipeu ner ; )aty in making huuwlf a nuisance, I a hen the cars atrain stopped at a little j Htation aher the cttle fed amongmea-dow-graies bright with blossoms of re.

It was an attractive pic ture, and a the wind waved the grasses the lulled seuscs only half lent them selves to the imagination that would umler toward inirnite snggestiveness of pustoral life; the 1'rakeman's voice culls out "Uuttertield:" then a child's voice is heard "Mamma, he doesn't know whether butter grows oris made!" What a littiirh coes through the car! The little Ihiv who has spoken looks around with an expresion ol innocent inquiry, and then turns to his mother, who is regarding the little face with a look that has in it pride surely, anil love, but it is full of that restraint that Ix loni to the truest motherliness.

He is not likely, if he grow to mauhood, to display his wit, and then make signs of his own enjoy ment of it. The worthy owners of rich jwsses sions are never olitrusive with them; into all true ownership there enters an aspiration that lias the likeness of hu mility, and forbids the soul to obtrude its precious things upon the notice of the world. The pictured Madonnas that represent K'st the joy and glory of motherhixHl, are rapt in the blessed ness of their possession, and do not need the voice of the world to assure them of their joy ; and it is a fact that should make us hoeful for the future, that this high conception of the artist is realized in the thought and experi ence of those w ho, though not mothers of a holy child, h ive been given the mission to lead and inspire voung souls towards the pattern given tliem upou a high mount of aspiration wheu the joy of motherhood first revealed itself to them. J Of all this we were thinking when, at a station further on, a ly entered the car with pond lilies. When the train starts again one ow Der of a bunch of the water nvmphs looks into the heart of a matured blossom and then at the bud beside it, and finds there the poe try of the truth of motherhood's pos session. Employments which are injurious. The influence of sewing machines on the health of women has often Wen disenssed by eminent men, with con flicting arguments and evidence. The most elaborate investigation is by Uuchesne. He found that women Buf fered from muscular pains ami great fatigue of the lower limits, with dys pepsia and other evils; while other writers agree that moderate work on the sewing machine is rather beneficial for health thau ct.ierwise, and that only where women work from eight to ten hours at the tr.-a.lle evil results are apparent. It seems clear, therefore, that the chief source of their troubles is fatigue, w hu h. with their habits of life, food, associations, etc., fully nc count for the symptoms. As the health of w omen is vastly more important to the national vigor than that of men, special care should ever le taken to guard it. While there are niany 'work rooms where the machines are run by steam or water power, there are many where the machines are run by the muscles of women. Persons performing delicate opera tions with their fingers, reqniring long practice to learn and frequently repeat ed, sometimes suffer from what is called "writers' cramp," Wcause it was first noticed in penmen. It occurs in all classes of writers, pianists, violinists, telegraph operators and others. Musicians who play on wind instru ments contract emphysema on account of tho strain brought to bear on the lungs hy taracic muscles, while the expulsion of air is hindered. Those who use their voices a great deal and are obliged to speak in lond tones for a long time, often in an impure atmos phere, suffer greatlv from the constant strain of the vical organs. Such is the case, among actors, teachers, singers and speakers, lhe most common dis ease among them is pharyngitis, known to all as "clergvniens sore throat." This is due largely to improper breath ing anil want of knowledge in giving forth, the voice. Such persons cannot know too much almut that beautifa organ, the voice, anil should study with those who make it a great consideration. This ia the lest way of warding off dia- t-a of the throat ami loss ot voice. People rnn away with the idea that gvniuasts, athletes, wrestlers, are per fect Hercules, and cannot know disease. 'Tis a mistake. They undergo very universally at times severe tests of muscular exertion, and as a result of these efforts, combined with their irregular manner of living, are usually short lived men, dying of phthisis and heart disease. I'ttroltum, which has been used for some time In connection with raising steam, is now rapidly coming into vogue for heating, melting and the working of metals, for these pur- posts some oilier medium besides steam must be resorted to for breaking np the oil. and after devices without number have been tried, the use of air under more or less pressure remains the most ratisfactory. By this means wagon tires one-half to one and a half inches ate welded in or.e minute, and car axle, which with coal required one hour and a quarter to heat, are heated iu thiity-five minutes. At one furnace alone the saving by the use of oil is said to be $10.40 per day, and another com pany puts its saving in fuel at 60 per cent. One of the great advantages of th s mode of heating is the effect pro duced on the metal operated upon. which comes out improved by the pro cess. It works softer on the hammer than when heated with coal, and when hummered or welded the Flag Is worked out of it more completely.

A j most significant mark of defective civ ilization, says the New York WeOr'y Tiro, is the present system of permit ting live stock to wander abroad on the roads. This it justly characterizes as a most costly and exasperating wrong and injury to the public, and goes on to say: It causes an enormous waste of mon ey and labor in the building and main taining of fences, which on many a sin gle farm cost more than the whole value of the stock kept out of the fields. It also engenders disputes, complaints, quarrels, and 111-feelinc, which tend to destroy that harmony among neighbors that U requisite for comfort and pros perity. To give the roads up to roam ing hogs and cattle is one or ttiose er rors and wastes of resources which go far to make farmers poor and keep agriculture In a backward and im poverished condition. Some years ago the State of South Carolina enacted a fence law, compelling owners of stock to inclose and restrain them so that cul tivated fields need not be fenced. At the time, many complaints were made that this was an injustice to the poor people who kept a cow or a few hogs and would be disastrous generally, xjui, on the contrary, under tiie action of tlits beneficent and eminently just regu lation the agriculture of South Carolina has made a great advance and lias be come more prosperous in proportion to its resources than that of any other State, The owner of land has rights which should be resiiectrxl as much as the own ers of houses or other proiierty. What a man purchases and pays for with the proceeds of his own labor should be held inviolable, in whatever Iorm it may oe, A man's field or garden should be as in violable as the house of another man. and should not need costly protection to preserve it from trespass and damage by other persons. Hence a garden or a field of corn should no more be required to be fenced for protection against wan dering stock than any house should be fortlied with stone walls and barred windows to keep out trami and thieves. And inasmuch as this was at one time an incident of lawlessness ami semi barbarity, when every man's hand was lifted against his fellow who owned any thing desirable to the lawless robber, so now it is an incident or equal lawless ness and barbarity that a man s crops should be overrun and destroyed by the cattle of his neighbors unless more than the value of these cattle is sjfut ia feiic ing them out. Pastures only need to be fence 1 for the purpo ot taking care of the farm s-tock. All road fences and arable field fences should be unnecessary. In many cases the relief from the cost of making and keeping up fences would be the difference between poverty and ecuni ary ease. Xo doubt the other benefits resulting from such a just and proper system as economy of land, less ditlicult destruction of weeds, etc., would still further better the farmer's condition and make his life more pleasant. As it now is, where the absurd and unjust practice of permitting cattle to roam at large prevails, the farmer is obliged to guard himself against every other man and to watch and ward his property lu the fashion of the iliddle Ages, while every other man is permitted to harass and injure the farmer with impunity. A correspondent asks a remedy for the prevention and cure of dLstenier in pigs, ltistemper is a disease that seldom attacks pigs. The difficulty Is probably due to dampness in the quar ters, being cold. Give each pig a pint of linseed meal daily in the food, the food slightly salted. On the bottom of the water-trough pour a gill of wood tar. Keep the quarters dry ;.na avoid draughts of air on the swine. If the difficulty is severe give a tea spoonful of tar by forcing it in the mouth. m Dalmatian insect powder as a remedy for the cabbage worm has been tried this season with success. It is dusted over the plants occasionally with a dustuig-box or blown from a small bellows. A solution of a teaspoonf ul of saltpetre in a gallon of warm water sprinkled over the cabbages once a week has also been a valuable remedy, and the work of applying it is not laborious, as a watering-pot can be used. In the attempt to keep potatoes. turnips, and other root crops the far mer gives too much protection against the cold. The cellars, pits or bins should be constructed in a manner to retain an even temperature if ixwslble. Heat sometimes does more injury to such crops than cold. Sweet otalocs should l kept at a temperature of about bo degrees. hite potatoes anl turnips keep best at about 40 decrees. It is often found that cows prefer to drink stagnant water, even almost filthy, from pooLs, rather than to take that fresh drawn from the well. It is not the cleanliness of the well water that the cows object to, but its cold ness. Leave the well water in tubs or troughs exposed to the air a few hours iu Summer. The cows will 7rink more freely, give more milk and Uo better every way for it. Filthv water thev should not be allowed to Uriuk, at least while giving milk. When chicks of different ages are running together and older birds are about, the food for the little ones should be thrown under slatted coops into which only such can enter. This will save the youngest and the delicate from being trampled upou and crowded out and w ill give them a chance to eat their till at their leisure. They will soon find out what it means, and more often than not will be found waiting in the pens for the food to be thruwn to them.

The horse-troughs and barn-lofts are no places for the hens. If hens are al lowed to make nests in the stables they may not only create filth therein, but also carry lice in with them, as nearly all kinds of fowls are afflicted with lice at this season.

Those who study the art of home decoration with flowers and piania should gather in late summer and au tumn time such materials as will keep for winter use, for when the many flow ers have disappeared we are all obliged to make the very most or wnat iij color remains. Any one who is not familiar with the numerous wild gras- mill find immense stores awaiting their notice. I cannot, in a limited paper, discuss the merits of our British grasses. Dm reaiiei a ui uiKuigcum . quickly glean ideas as to the varieties most useful fpr decoration by turning to the pages of some illustrated book on botany. I think it is beet to gatner grasses about July or August; earner kinds, such as the common holcus, which is very pretty and most useful, must be sought for in moving-time. 1 have, in a previous paper, alluded to the value of the tufted aira. Gather plenty of it. There is another grace ful delicate little grass, the common mellick (.Mellica nutans), w hich is my favorite of all grasses. It mixes ad mirablv witn carden bouquets. The common quake-grass is useful, and so are wild oats, which give grace ana elegance to any large collection or ar rangement. They should be gathered before they are quite ripe, as if laid to drv, the glumes will open of them selves, and reveal and retain their rich brown color. Our manv beautiful sedges more akin to flowers than grasses will keep as well as everlastings, and they should Ihj sought after, and kept in readiness. Bulrushes, teasel-heads, the capsules of the thorn-apple (Thririi-apple datura), the downy seed-pods of the wild cle matis, and the lovely cotton-grass with its heads of silky-white durable down, are to be recommended. Added to these, get moss and lichens. and hunt the fern world through for the most brilliant and gorgeously paint ed autumn fronds, which will retain their color through the winter. I must also mention autumn leaves of other kinds too numerous to particularise. It is said that their bright colors may be preserved by dipping their stems in melted yellow liees'-wax. When requir ed for use, a little ingenuity may ac complish much; artificial stems may be added to the preserved leaves to mix with winter flowers and greenery. Just here I must also remark that if you possess short-stalked flowers they may be lengthened by a little manage ment, the addition of a sort of "wooden leg. an artificial stalk attached with a bit of wire; but the living stem must be allowed to touch the water in the vase it is to occupy. w ACTT-MN FLOWERS. Sunflowers are plentiful in the au tumn. I have a stone-colored jar which I use for these flowers; a couple of White Chrysanthemums and Bbackex. them placed therein with their own green leaves is all the arranging they receive, and they usually occupy a bracket in a dark corner. They ore suitable to fill any niche not too prom inent to the eye, and are most effective from a distance. This same crock pletses me when filled with autumn tinted ferns the bracken chiefly, ns it takes the prettiest hues and a g od spray of well-berried mountain ash. Sunflowers are also charming objects to fill an v heavy blue vase; you may place with them a few fronds of Pteris fern.

Several of your correspondents have lately ritl en on the use of apmorphine as an emetic administered hvpodermi cally in intoxication. I cai no see why such a doubtrul remedy should be used when we have others mote simple and effective. Years ago, when in charge of a surveying party on French Creek, near the Alleghany Mountains, the drunken doctor of the village where we stayed the night, when in a state of semi-drunkenness, took a piece of carb. ammonia; ont of his surgery bottle and chewed it. The effect was almost mag icaL The contents of the stomach were quickly ejected, the usual depression not following, fo that he was able to at once rtsume his debaucli. Since then I have tried the remedy many times with great success. The drunkard can gen et ally be roused and got to swallow half a dram of amru. carb. dissolved in a wine-glass of water, and, ir drank off, this will prove immediately effective as an emetic and restorer. The reason Is obvious. The stomach is cleared, and the ttimulating effect of the salt pre vents the excessive depression usually following excels. Avcriter In a contemporary journal fays: "I discovered many years ago that wood could be made to last longer than iron lu the ground, lut thought the process so simple that it was not well to make a ttir about it, l'osls of any wood can be preared for less than two cents apiece. This is the recipe: Take boiled linseed oil and stir in pul verized coal to the consistency of paint. I'ut a coat of this over the timber, and there is not a man that will live to see it rot." More than fifty tutents for the mak ing of ammonia have been takeu out within the last two years In England and America, Belgium, France, Aus tria and Germany. Many of the schemes hae been patented iu all the countries at once. The patents apply to g;is works, oil works, bla-t furnace, alkali works and sewage works.

Mount Ecetest. 9.002 feet above the level of the sea, seems not to be after all the highest peak of the Himalayan chain.
