She betook herself to the city, and finding no better opening went into service as a domestic. The work was hard bat she went through it patiently, though the healthy tint of her rural life began gradually to fade from her cheeks. One day, not long after her arrival at Phfiadelphia, she had a few - hours to spare, and went to Fairmount Part to enjoy the pare air and refresh ing scenery., It so happened that Dr. LeoU was at the park on a similar errand: Ale was attracted alike by the ingenuous- VW alatll/CEMiIIPU ut the young girls appearance. Inquiry justified the opinion he had formed of her, and he at once obtained an easier situation for ber at the house of a friend. Two or three months of trial still de: velapinglint what was in her favor, he took her to his home as house-keeper in place of a person who abased his trust, and recently by process -of law, adopted her as his daughter, under the name of Lottie Josephine Leon. He now proposes bequeathing to her a large portion of his estate. his nearest brood being nephews.

The popular flavors with those who drink the favor ite summer beverages are vanilla, lemon ginger and sarsaparilla, in about the or der named. Ginger is partaken of freely on extremely hot days, and peo ple who have indulged in watermelons or other summer fruits, are apt to ask for an addition of a few drops of the extract of Jamaica ginger to the syrup. Vanilla is usually dr.ink with cream, as are also strawberry, sherbert and rasp berry flavors. The three latter flavors are preferred by children, Mainly on account of their bright color. The lemon syrup does not as readily com bine with cream, as a great quantity of citric acrd is used in the toning up of the lemon syrup than that of any other. citzi . ...t4 1..1 a Lazuslcaa uature, us it is made direct from lemons.

The soda water business is very good at present.

Trio Two HAtarms.—This, then, is the story of the two Hamlets. Shakes peare in 1599-1600 wrote . ] his great tragedy, founding it upon the plot of an old play known as 'The Revenge of Hamlet, Prince of Deumark,' which itself was founded on an old story told by Saxo Grammaticus. Shakespeare's play, produdeil in 1600. made such an _impression upon gentle and simple, . _ upon the highly educated classes as well as upon the public in general, that it was acted-not only at London, but at Oxford and Cambridge and elsewhere. There was an eager desire to road but, according to the customs of the day, : the text • was jealously guarded by its theatrical proprietors. Under these eircumstances a practical printer named James Roberts set him self to get for, publication a copy of this wonderful play, which all the world was going to and talking of;' and natur ally applying to the minor actors in Shakespeare's company, he succeeded in corrupting the man who played Voltiutand, and induced him to tinder _ take to get a copy. He, however, was able to get only fragments, great and smell.. Some parts of the play he gave frOm memory; some he got by surreptiOns examination of the stage copy acid of actors' parts;„ and all this being Still not,. enough, James Roberts had some of the play taken down' in short-hand during the performance, which was very lamely done.. Some passages were taken from the old play, which haethe mire: plot. The mass of heterogeneous stuff, some of it just what the author wrote, but the greater part of it what no dramatist ever wrote, was pieced and patched together, and hurriedly published to the horror of William Shakespeare, and so much : to the injury of the tragedy, as it was _thought, that a 'true and perfect copy,' - containing much that never was heard _on Shakspeare's stage, was immediately 'sent to the publisher, who soon issued it cured and perfect of its limbs and absolute in its members, it had been conceived by its great creator.—Rich- I and Grant White in the, Atlantic.

Senator Mahone had frequent conver sations with the President before the Senate adjourned. • General Arthur was then very anxious to obtain all the information possible regarding the political situation in the South, and was especially iiiterested anything that could be said respecting the growth of the industries and the impulse which is spreading throughout the Southern States to develop their immense resources. Senator Mahone recently told a friend in Washington that President Arthur's policy regard ing the South will be as favorable a one to that section as that of. General Garfield, and finit the President desires, aliove ail things, to see a thoroughly national spirit throughout the Southern States, such as was evidenced at -the time of General Garfield's death. If, during his' administration, the South should cease to be spoken as aa a party section, but merely as a geographical section of the country, like the East or the West or the North, the President will be gratified. if his administration should make no remarkable success in any other direction. Tits HEART OF TUE. Sotrrn.—The Augusta, Ga.; Chronicle and Constitu tion of Tuesday, •bad the following: 'With anguish we announce that the worst fears have been confirmed, .and James A. Garfield, ?resident of the Unitedlitatea, is dead. By the hand of a fanatic of the most disrepntable sur roundings, whom it would be a stretch of charity to call a madman, this great and good' President, this fond husband, this loving father. this • noble - gentleman has been slain. Strange that bullets of brave foeman should have, in fair fight, spared him for such a fate. Bad.' in deed, is it, that such a, glorious being so useful; so powerful; so manly, so excellent, should become the victim of a vile reptile. We bow to tho-dispensa lions of God and question them not. To Him we leave the vindication and the ends of justice. The heart of' the South bleeds for the stricken mother and wife and children of the President. Upon his dead body we lay an immortelle, a wreath of the truest sorrowand regret. Innocent of the murder of Lincoln, the South .suflered long years of persecution for another ex ime. Innocent of the assassination of Garfield, the South, fearless of theluture and forgetful of the past, stands. tearfully beside the relics of the Pressdent, and prays that his storm-tossed spirit shall have the rest of the righteous and a sanctuary in the . eternal Heaven where, lidle3 to slumber, grief forgets to_monrn.'

FATTENING POULTRY. —NO foul over two years .old should be kept in the poultry -yard, except for some specia reason. An extra good mother, or a finely feathered bird that is desirable as a breeder, may be , preserved until ten years old with advantage, or at least so long as she is, serviceable. But ordi nary fowls should be fattened ,at the end of the -second year ' for market.e When there is a room.-or shod that can be closed, the fowls : may be confined there; Thd floor should he -covered with two or three inches of fine sawdust, dry earth, sifted coal ashes, or clean sand. The food should be given four times a day: and clean .wa ter be always before the fowls. A4ozen or more fowls may be put at once in this apartment, so that there may not be too many ready to sell at one time. The best food for rapid fat ting, for producing well-flavored flesh and rich fat, is buckwheat meal, mixed with swedtskimmed milk, into a thick mush. A teaspoonful of salt should be stirred in the food foi a dozen fowls; Two weeks feeding is suffident to fatten the fowls, when they sliould be shipped for sale without delay, and another lot put up for feeding. If the shed is kept dark and cool, as it should be, the fowls willfatten all the quicker for it.— Practical Farmer, Fogg put his foot into it bodily when he was introduced to Mrs. Smith and her : daughter. He wished to say some thing neat and gallant. Addressing the daughter,' said . he: 'Really, madam, I' never should have suspected that lady was your daughter. I supposed of course' that you were sisters; I did, I assure you.' 'Thank you; Mr. Fogg,' replied Miss Smith, You 'were per fectly right,in thinking that rady could not be my daughter. She is my mother, sir.' Fogg went off in a hurry, calling somebody or P other a confound ed fool, while Miss Smith was heard to remark, indignantly: 'Sisters, indeed!' It is stated in the English papers that "a prominent member of the Irish Revolutionary Party" has been in the State of Illinois collecting Colorado beetles, intended for exporation to England, where they are to be let loose for the , purpose of preying upon En glish crops. Instructions have accor dingly been issued to the Customs officials at the British ports directing them to be vigilant in preventing the introduction of the beetle. PILES. ."
