the yonnger class of young men of our Til-

the Peach Festival of the State Pomological

Society will be held at South Haven, Sept. ;id

to do that very thing.

We are indebted to Rev. Mr. Waldo for tbe

his estimable wile for a very handsome bo-

quel of flowers, made expressly for our snnc-

shots were fired that night, and then a grave

was dug and several onter garments which

bad been mado to order, were deposited in the

This Summer's " Lord " a t Cape May. The Baltimore American jjives the

following account of the doings of a sham English lord, who has been making a brief sensation at Cape May:

" He registered his ra tne a t one of the hotels as 'Captain P . Massey, Boyal Navy, England. ' He did not CMO about notoriety, not h e : but to some casual acquaintance he mentioned as if it were a matter of no concern a t all, that the gentleman who owned the supreme privilege of being Lis father was also the Duke of Leeds. He also incidentally informed these amiable people that the British Government was at present building a maguificeut iron clad, to the special command oi which he was invi ted; and, moreover, tha t he has jus t come over in his own yacht, which was lying near by, and to an excursion upon which 'he had generously invited all 4 the best people.' To be sure, he was rather shabby iu his dress; but that was only an eccentricity of a nobleman, and added to his charming qualities.

Of course he at once became the social hero of the day. The ineffable distinction of an acquaintance with liis lordship, tho mere honor of touch-ing his gracious digits, and the fur ther blessing of gratifying his princely an-petite at their tables, were eagerly sought for by the first circles of sea-sule.society. Nobody could refuse to accomodate such a superb specimen of British nobility, and pocket books opened at once when he wanted a few hundreds. He was not disposed to stand upon his dignity, bu t since they had discovered him they must shake off all restraint by calling him plain 4 Massey.' He did not des-re to be ionized, bu t was compel'ad t i accej t all the honors showered upon him. Sad to say, he became exceedingly drunk on more than one occasion, and if such li t t le transgressions are not pardoned among t ' .e elite, why where is the use o ' being a nobleman, and how strict, or heaven's sake, are we to be with

these choice foreign exotics? He might not have contemplated such an exten-sive acquaintanceship with the same '•best people" when he first went among them, bu t ns they so generously took him to their hearts he could not refrain from being equally sociable, and so 4 4Lord Massy" hud a pleasant time of it for a few days.

Then the crash came. Hotel pro-prietors are not apt to be so confiding as tu f t hunters, and as my lord had been living ofi their besl, they thought it was about time to see the color of his money. ^ ' , alas! alas! his pock-ets otnpl; Not a stiver had he, and whulu assets were confessed to bo ( o seedy suit of clothes, a worn-out paper collar, and an illimitable stock of lies. The yacht was a myth, and its owner simply Francis Massey, who, as ho said, had %

4got d"unk in Liverpool, and been druiuiever since.' T.io 'best people' were scandalized, bu t they paid his hotel bill, in the ho.io of silencing scandal, and he dis-appeal d between two drys. Among tho genial and trusting people whoso company he enjoyed to his own profit were several Baltimoreans, v o, wo hope, will profit by their experience."

Once a week it blooms, a stem being thrown ou t from the body of the cactus about eight inches long, noon the top of which is a beautiful white flower, the size of the top of an ordinary teacnp, the aroma from which fills the wbo'n house. Tho flower begins to nniold itself about seven o'clock iu the even-ing, at nine o'clock is in full bloom, and remains so until six o'clock in the morning, when i t begins to close up, and by noon has entirely disappeared.

Tho Ithaca Journal prints extracts from a private letter written by an ex-Cornell student of '74, descriptive of a boat race on the River Neckar at Heid-elberg, between ,4 scrub M crews of Eng-lish and American students. The boats were six oared barges, each rowed by three men and steered by a coxswain. The description is as follows;

" f o r four days before the Saturday we pulled over the course (nearly two miles) once a day. We had no expec-tation of winning, but on the contrary expected to be left far behind, and told everybody so, as did the English also. When the day arrived tho English fe1-lows had decorated a large barge, pro-cured a band of mu* ic, invited all the English ladies and two or three Ameri-cans on board to witness their triumph, and moored the vessel in the middle of the course. After the first race, in which a Brazilian boat, containing one American, was victorious, ours came off. I t was the race of the regatta, and the start was perfect. I pulled the two bow oars and acted as captain. At first neither of us took the lead much, but after half a mile we were half a length ahead; then, being near the head of the rapids, we put iu a spurt, and took the lead by two or three lengths, as lar as the bridge. Wo had only a little blue jack in our boat, while the English boat had the British flag in the stern. Before reaching the bridge the people on the shore began to understand the situation, nnd com-menced shouting. Our friends, who had come to see us beaten, grew ex-cited, yelled at and cheered us, and ran along the road. Others yelled a t the Englinh boat to 4 hurry up, ' and altogether it was an exciting contest. One voice, high above us on the bridge, was heard above all others, 4 Hurrah for America 1' Below the bridge they slowly gained, bu t when we passed the barge they were still a length and a half behind. We came in victors by a full length, and then hoisted our silk flag in the stern. Then we had to re -ceive our congratulations, and they were innumerable and fervent. Onr follow American students crowded around, nnd wore almost wild with de-l ight ; every one had to be shaken hands with, including several strangers and ladies. Such a crestfallen set ns the English ladies were I never saw. The other crew were also terribly p u t out the race had such an unexpected ending, and their humiliations, as well as that of their friends, was extreme."

A Rat Out of i'lace. As an evidence tha t the qualities of

nerve and downright pluck are not confined exclusively to the heroic men of creation there i s herewith offered the narration of the circumstances wherein a young girl bore herself bravely under B«ch try ing circumstances ns wouid have severely tested the most dogged determination ever shown by the average genus homo. On Sunday last this young lady was to church, when, during the delivery of the ser-mon, she suddenly became aware tha t something of a crawling nature was making an expeditious journev np her leg. Startled, as may well be believed, she was for tho once bereft of power of action, but with a determined effort she recovered her presence of mind, and by the time the 44 thing" got a short dis-tance above her knee she grabbed it, through her dress, with a vice like grip, aud held on like grim death. Since the first revelation of tho circum-stance she had not uttered a sound, nor indeed, gave any outward sign of tbe mental torture which she must have suffered, but sat rigid and composed, firmlv grasping 44 that horrible thing," which she knew was some living crea-ture, when, upon being clutched, it gave forth a squealing sound. For full three quarters of an hour the brave girl sat there, as composed as ever, still retaining her hold to the close of the service, when she departed home-wards, never relaxing her grip until reaching home, when, giving hurried explanations to her mother, she faie 'ed dead away. A quick examination by la mere revealed the presence of a rat, dead as a door nail, as the cause of the unhappy adventure, which for lively interest, and the revealing of a remark-able spirit in the mind of a young girl, is not often matched in this latter day.

A Singular and Fatal Acddcnt.

The Darlington (Wis ) .Republican says:

44 Wo learn from a reliable source that on Wednesday of last week tho son of O. J . Ansdale, of Warren, aged twelve years, was drilling s tmo of his playmates as soldiers, using a piece of lath to represent a sword, and while running at a rapid rato his foot canght in a croquet arch, throwing him with much force upon the -harp end of tho sword, which entered tho socket of tho eye, passing to tho depth of three inches, penetrating tho sub-stance of the brain. Tho stick broke off, leaving u projection of about one inch in length, which the boy himself

Sasped, and not until applying much rce did he succeed in withdrawing the

same. After receiving the injury ho walked home, complaining but l i t t le; his only anxiety seemed to be the feai that he would lose the sight of his eye. Soon, however, he be'eame stupid, ami, after lingering for forty-eight honrs in great agony, died.

Olney, Richland county, though a small place, is the site of a great sen-sation. About two years ago it was announced that in conscqnenco of an error made in tho United States land office, tho title to all the lands in Olney was worthies , and now it is reported the same villago is the location chosen for the exl'Hion of tho direct power of the Almighty. The wife of Hon. J . A. Powtdl, United States collector for the district, resides at Olney. She is a lady of education, high social position, and a member of the Presbyterian church. About a year ago it was re vealed to ber—by what means does not appear—tliat she was to possess the power of healing diseases . by the apostolic means of laying on of hands. She paid no attention to the revelation for some months, but being lately greatly affected by the sufferings of friends and neighbois, she was moved to try her powers, and found that she was successful. The fame of these enres spreading into the city and the country round about, oth-er patients were biought to her, and these were speedily reliuved of their afflictions. On Friday last not less than 1*25 persons were nt her house, either to be healed or to witness the mi;..cles worked. The lady declares thr.t the power she pos.i>sse8 is con-ferred upon her by tne Almighty, and for its exercise she will receive no gift or reward. I give the story as it was given me, and can only say that who-ever else may scoff, many of the people of Olney firmly believe it .

What to Drink in Warm Weather. The Country Gentleman says that

at this season of the year tha farmer and his laborers require some cooling bu t palatable beverage that will nuench their thirst, and not heat or intoxicate their blood, yet will afford a grateful stimulant to their digestive powers. And among all the stimulat-ing substances which are employed in making these drinks, there are none superior to ginger, and none easilv procured or equally refreshing. Al-most every man likes it, and a mixture of it with maplu sugar and water, or honey, or syrup and water, is an ex-temporized drink of which thousands partake with great relish, while some will add to i t a teaspoonfnl of cream of tartar, and then stir in half a tea-spoonful o( saleratus or soda, and thus prepare a tumbler of foaming li-quid, which is a wholesome tonic, ns well as a palatable drink, for carbonic acid, which is formed by the fermenta-tion, adds greatly to the pleasant taste of any drink. I t is also a good plan for every farmer's wife to make a keg of hop beer, and keep i t upon tap during the haying nnd harvesting of the summer mouths. Spirituous li-

uors, containing alcohol, are not con-uctive to the health of any man ; but

tho bitter tonic of hops, flavored with tho essence of spruce, sassafras roots, or wiutergreen leaves, is always desir-able.

j / o p fleer.—Take a three-quart kettle full of boiling water, and add to it ono quart of hop blossoms, or a small quantity of pressed hops ; boil twenty minutes, ndding anything you please for fiavoring, nnd if nothing else can bo had, three tablespoonfuls of powdered ginger will answer your purpose. Strain through a cloth or sieve into a jug or bucket, and add to it three quarts of molasses stir it until well mixed ; then let i t stand until milk warm, and add half a coffee-cup of baker's yeast turned over a slice of toasted bread. L e t it ferment over night. Next morning remove the scum aud if fermented iu a bucket, bottle it and cork tightly : if in a jug, pour off the foam, nnd also cork tight-ly. Keep iu the ice-house or cellar, so it will not sour quickly. I t is well on large farms to mnke a fifteen gallon keg of it, nnd lot t h e men drink of i t freely, and they will rarely care or nsk for rum or whisky; and when this evil can be done i way, surely the house-wife will uot grudge tho extra labor she incurs in preparing a beverage which will cheer bu t not intoxicate.

Oinycr i / c c r . - T h i s is also a very agreeublo drink, and highly relished by ladies of weak digestive powers, as well as by stong laborers in tho fields.

PropoKCd Monument to a Teuipurnnce Apostle.

From a New Turk Telegram.

For a coiibiderable time past an effort has been made to erect a monument in New York to tho memory of Father Matthew, tho apostle of temperance. The workers in the matter are a com-mittee composed of members of the different Father Matthew temperancc societies of the city. Once in a while they put on a moral spurt, bnt gener-ally they lie inactive in tho matter. This is ono of tho spurting periods. Yesterday one of tho uumerous parent societies discussed the subject elabo-rately, and resolved for the fiftieth time to do something defini te , in the matter. Thoy resolved to appoint n general committee composed of mem-bers from all tho kindred societies, and to call a meeting of that committee on Sunday next. This is a good work, and ought to bo pressed to completion.

The telegraph nunounces the destrnc-tion bv fire, at noon on Friday, of the steamer Wawassett, plying between Washington and Curnman. on the Potomac river, off Chatalon Landing, and the consequent loss of between forty and fifty lives. The fire broke out iu the hold, spreading so rapidly that in a very short time the entire steamer was enveloped in flames. The steamer was im-mediately headed for the shore, about a third of a mile distant, and soon ran aground ?00 yards from the Virginia shore. The passengers seem to have become panic-stncken, for they are said to have leaped into the water from all par ts of the boat to escape t h e flames, without first providing them-selves with life-preservers, of which there is said to have been a ful l supply on board. The victims of th is terrible disaster are mainly women and children. The Wawassett was a side-wheel steamer, about three hundred and fifty tons, and was engaged in running be-tween Washington and landings along the Potomac. She was insured for *28,000.

Danbury Witticisms.

A MAN who came to Danbury eight years ago. worth nothing, is now the owner of three dogs.

AT one time, Saturday, there were five baldheaded men in one of our dry goods stores, looking vacantly about, and each one thoughtfully rubbing his head with a finger that had a thread tied about it .

44 WHAT shall I give my boy t o make him honored and respected?" writes an affectionate father. Educa-tion and moral precepts were once re-quired to accomplish this purpose, but a diamond pin now covers the ground.

A LADT went to one of our dry gooda stores, on Monday, and bought five cents' worth of thread. Then she picked up a palm leaf, and comment-ing on the weather, and getting her thread, walked off with both. T h e merchant closed his store ns early as possible that evening, and taking his aching head in his hands, sat down to analyze the t rue value ol tha t transac-tion,

ASLAWSON woman unostentatiously points to the fact that the funeral of her late husband cost b u t | 8 2 , which is ^15 less than the neighbors thought she could do, and yet there is not one of them who can say that anything was spared to make the occasion a suc-cess, and ono long to be remembered by all who participated.

AN aged couple of Wooster street are very fond of checkers, and play qui te frequently. When he beats a t the game, she loses her temper, and de-clares that she will not play again. I t vexes him to have her act so, but he controls the irritation, and tulks to her about it. He tells her how wrong i t i s for people at their age in life to be dis-turbed by such trifles, and shows her so clearly the foliy of such n course that she becomes ashamed of her weak-ness, and returns to the game and plays it so well that she beats him. Then he throws the checkers in one direction and kicks the board in an-other, and says he will never play with anybody who cheats so alfiredly, and stalks moodily to bed, and leaves her to pick up the things.

THERE is a man on Franklin street, who has been engaged in the past two months in a mighty effort to kill a .cat. In tha t t ime that unfortunate animal has explored the bottom of every sheet and stream of water within six miles of Danbury, has had an unintentional taste of the several new varieties of powder, and has got so it can tell in the dark, without looking around, the difference between a half brick and a whole one. The man himself hasn' t got a whole piece of clothing in his wardrobe, and has almost entirely lost the use of one leg from rheumatism, contracted while drowning the cat, and has more scratches on him than the survivor of four wives. His aged father says he will take a chair ou t in tho yard on a pleasant afternoon, and will sit there for two hours at a t ime, and look nt that cat and swear.

Tho Probable Attendance at the Centcu* nial Exhibition.

From tbo Pblloilclpkia Press.

The average attendance at the Vien-na Exhibition for the first fi.teen days of Juue has been 11,500 daily, and a t this rate the total number of visitors for the whole season would bo about 7,0315,000. Some may bo afraid that , the United States not having so com-pact a population as Europe, nor hav-ing its cosmopolitan travel, we shall not havo so many visitors. The fact is, however, that one-fourth of the popu-lation cf the Uuited States resides within 250 miles from Philadelphia, and that our people not only have more money to travel with than the masses of European population, but they are infinitely more in tho habit of travel-ing. Tho sentiment of patriot ism, the desire to see tho exhibition once, nnd the indisposition to bo singular or out of fashion, will compel an immense at-tendance of our own people.

When the disease makes its appear-ance, take fish-oil and grease the chlck-ans well on the back, neck, and under u ie wings. I t does not require much a l to grease a large flock, and if this J* attended to promptly, you will have no cholera. Ail, or nearly all, chick-ens that have t h e cholera are covered with lice; which produces the disease. These the chickens eat. This remedy has never lafled to stop the disease where i t has been tried. I t is worth a trial by those who have chickens suf-fering from this disease. Yours,

I t is stated that spirits of turpentine, if app ied to the seed a few hours be-fore sowing, will effectually prevent the destruction of the young seedling by the fly. Tho best way to use it is t o wot the seed with turpentine and allow i t t o remain wet about half an Mionr, then dry it with plaster or ashes, knd sow as usual. We are assured by

y^iarties wbo have tried it that i t is an ^ excellent preservative. The cost is very

small, and wc believe no evil can re-sult. In some cases the seed has re mained wot with turpentine for several days before being sown, and no per-ceptible evil arose from the delay. One gentleman assures us that he has used this application for ten years, and has never lost any plants by the fly. On ouestiouing him closely as to the mo-aus operandi, he states his belief that the turpent ine passes into circulation with the sap of the plant, as it can be distinctly detected by the peculiar taste it possesses when testing its pre-

The National Live Stock Journal says : Scientific investigation and re-search have established the following propositions ns true, iu the transmis-sion of animal life in all its varieties:

1st. Like produces like, or the like-ness of some ancestor.

2d. Where there is great uniformity among tho members of a species, the divergencos of offspring from tho uver-age type are usually small.

3d. When a considerable divergence bas once been established, unlike ncsses among the offspring are frequent and great.

w 4th. Any accidental variation from yfhe established type in the form, dis-' position or habits of a species, may

be perpotuated, and to a limited extent intensified, by careful selection and use.

5th. An unnatural strain or demand on any particular par t of the animal mschinory, long continued, tends to weaken or dwarf all the other parts not allied to the one so stimulated.

Gth. Hereditary qualities are liable to bo weakened, if not entirely lost, by disuse.

Mrs. Tupper, of tho Iowa Homo-stead, answers a novice who inquires what hive is the best, as he is just starting the honey business, as follows:

Our friend opens a wide question, and if I give an honest answer 1 shall bring down upon my head the maledic-• 'onsof worthless patent-hive men. I am getting used to that, however, and so veuturo to say that if real cheapness I and convenience be required, a simple' hive, such as " Novice " recommends, and which can bo made for one dollar, is as good as the best. I am putt ing in some of thoso now, nnd am well pleased. Everything that is essential can bo made for one dollar. Some, however, would prefer a few extras in the way of paint and finish, but these1

are to please the eye, not help tho bees. The movable comb principle you must have, and a deep frame is far tho best. Make a frame about one foot square, and have your hives arranged so that the hive will hold eight, ten, or even twelve of these frames if you wish. If the extractor is to be used (and you will find this to pay the best), the extra frames can bo placed at the sides of the hive; but if you waut box honey, or honey in the comb, have your hives made so that one can be placed above the other, then you can havo double or single at pleasnre. Make all alike: don' t be tempted to try several kinds of frames; in that wayyou lose half the advantages of movable combs; and don't bo tempt-ed into bothering the bees, or making hiding places for tho worms, by invest-ing in " f ros t -p roof" or "moth-proof" humbugs. Movable frames on which there is no patent, and a plain box, is all you need.

< ^ H i g h F a r m i n g . f A noted farmor of New England,

af ter visiting England and examining with the critical eye of a practical and experienced agriculturist the system pursued there, says:

I am thoroughly confirmed iu my old faith that the only good farmer of our fu ture is to be tbe " high farmer." There is a widely prevailing antipathy among the common farmers of our state against not only the practice of high

farming but against the use of the phrase by agnoultural writers. This is all wrong and should at once bo cor rocted Through some misconcoption of the moaning of the phrase, and also of i t s application, they have come to believe it synonymous with theoietical

^ ' b o o k farming," "new-fangled no . ^ l o n s , " boasted strides of progress, fol

lowed by disappointment and final fail-ure. This is all uu error. High farming simply means thorough cultivation, liberal manuring, bountiful crops, good stock, good feed, and paying profits therefrom. I t is not strange that misconceptions have arisen in tho minds of doubting farmers who have been eye-witnesses to some of the spread-eagle experiments of enthusias-tic farmers, better supplied with money obtained in a business thoy know how to manage than with practical expe-rience on the farm. Bountiful crops and paying profits of course arc what all farmers who are dependent upon A o farm for an income are striving to (fbtain ; nnd every year as it passes is donfirming the opinion that tho profits are small, and will grow " beau-tifully less " whore high farming is not practiced.

CrciTMBERSALAD.—A lady correspon-dent of Hearth and Homo says: " We have just prepared our winter's supply oi cucumber salad, and this is how we mado i t : . There were about a dozen ripe ' white spine1 cucumbers lying on our vines, and these wo picked, washed pared, cut into' strips, taking out the seeds, and then, to each dozen cucum-bers, which wo cut into pieces like small dice, we put twelve large whitt onions, chopped; six large green pep-pers, also chopped; one-quarter oound each of black and white mustard s^ed, and a gill of celery seed. These were mixed together, a teacup of salt added, and they were then hung up in a cotton bag to drain for twenty four hours. Then the salad, with enough clear, cold vinegar added to cover it, was put into stone jars and fastened nearly air t ight. In six weeks it will bo fit for use. I t looks as well as i t tastes— so white and crisp—and makes an ele-gant salad for a joint of cold meat. I t is not like the Spanish salad that re-quires 4 a counsellor for salt, a miser for vinegar, a spendthrift for oil, and a madman to stir i t up,' but it is quite as good in its way, and not very troublesome to make."

ACETATE OF SODA FOR PBESERVINCI FOCD.—A new process for preserving alimentary substances has lately been communicated to the Academy of

, Sciences of Paris, the essential feature of which consists in the use of acetate of soda, instead of the common salt ordinarily employed. The substance to b e preserved is to be placed in a barrel, with layers of the acetate of soda interposed in the proportion of one-fourth, by weight; and in winter the temperature must be at least 68 degrees F. After 24 hours the barrel must be turned, and in 48 hours the operation is completed; tho salt having then absorbed the water of the meat, which may be kept in the pickle or dried iu the air. Any vacant spaces in the ban-el, after heading up, are to be filled with brine, of one part of the scda salt to three of water. The old pickle may be evaporated to half of tho original bulk employed, and recov-ered, for subsequent use.

For cooking, the meat thus prepared is to be soaked from 12 to 24 hours in tepid water containing 150 grains of sal ammoniac to the quart. This salt | decomposes the acetate of soda in the meat, forming common salt, and an ammoniacal acetate which causes the meat to swell, and restores to it tho odor of fresh meat. I t is claimed by the author of this process that by simply removing the intestines animals may be readily preserved whole. Fish, poultry, and game, havo been so treated. After salting meat may be dried in the stove, losing thereby one-fourth in weight. Fish cannot bo subjected to this operation of drying. Vegetables may be treated by this pro-cess, but before salting they should be boated until they lose their rigidity. In 24 hours they may bo pressed and dried iu tho air. When used they must bo steeped 12 hours in fresh water.

A necessary condition of tho employ-ment of this process is tho keening of tho food thus prepared perfectly .dry, as the salt is hygrometrie, and absorbs moisture from the atmosphere.

when he was a little boy. The school-master knew much about the heavenly bodies, meditated upon them, and yet did not forget history and geography.

An Awkward Occasion. Tho most awkward occasion in a

young woman's career, says Bilkins, is when she returns from the wedding trip, and for tho first time invites her friends to breakfast in her own house. She feels that all eyes are upon her, and that inquiring minds are busy sift ing the sweet mysteries of her new life. In tho tumult of her emotions she pours the hot water into the sugar bowl, sweetens John's coffee with salt, scalps the butter with the sleeve of her morning gown, waters tho toast from the waste bowl, burns her fingers against the coffee urn, gets rod in the faoe, nnd finally, unless she is a female of cast-iron resolution, bursts into a flood of tears, which all tho pangs of several days' accumulated hunger are impotaut to assuage.

T h e C o m e t .

And tho comet came, with luminous head, and threat-<ning his fiery tail. I t was gazed at from palace to cot. by the crowd upon tho street and the lonely wanderer over tho pathless heath ; and each cf all the gazers had his own thoughts about it . " C o m e and see the sign in the sky !" were words on the lips of nil, nnd all hast ened to see.

But in the house a little bov was sitt ing quietly with his mother; the tallow candle was burning, and the mother thought shepcrceived a "shav-i n g " in the l i g h t The tallow had raised in a point, and formed a ourl, which, ns she thought, signified that her little boy would soon die, for tho shaving turned toward him. I t was an old superstition, and she believed it, But the little boy was to live many years upon the earth—live and see the comet when, after more than sixty years, it should re appear,

The little boy did" not see the omen in tho light, nor did he think of the comet which now, for the first time in his life, was shining from heaven. H e was sitting with a mended bowl con taining soap-suds, into which he was dipping the head of a clay pipe, then putting the stem to his mouth and blowing off bubbles, little and big, they waived and soared in most beauti' ful colors, changing from yellow to red lilac and blue, and then becoming green, like the forest leaf, transparent in tho sunlight.

" God grant you years upon earth as numerous as tho soap-bubbles you b low!" said his mother.

" S o many I so many I" said the lit-tle boy. " The suds can never be blown u p ! " and the little one blew bubble alter bubble. " There goes a year ! See how they fly," said he ns eacli bubble floated away. A couple of them went directly into his eyes, giving them pain and bringing tears. In each bub-ble he had a vision of the future, shin-ing, glittering.

" W e can see the come t ! " called the neighbors. " Oh, come ou t ; don't bit in there !"

And tho mother took the little one by the hand ; he had to lay away t io pipe, the soap-bubble toy ; the comet was there, and the little one saw the shining ball with the fiery tail. Some said it seemed to be three yards long; others that i t was millions of yards ; people see differently.

"Children and children's children may be dead before i t comes again," said the people: and the most of those who said it were dead and gone when i t enme again. But the little boy, for whom the shaving stood in the candle, and concerning whom the mother thought, " he will soon d i e ! " yet, was old nnd white-haired. The old adage says that " white hair is tho blossoms of old age ! " and with him the blos-som was profuse ; he was now nn old school-master. His pupils spoke of him as wise, knowing so much of his-tory, geography aud astronomy.

" All things return," he said; " o n l y sot your mnrk upon characters and transactions, aud you will always find tho same again, in some other dress, some other country."

And the school-master told them of William Tell, who was compelled to shoot an apple from tho head of his sou ; but. befttro shooting, had con-coaled upon his breast another arrow with which to picroe tho breast of the wicked Cesler. In Switzerland this occurred, hut manv years before the same transpired iu Denmark with Pal-uatoke. Ho, too, was compelled to shoot an apple from the head of his

brought from the bed that represented Holland. "Br ing mo buckwheat!" and this was brought from Langeland. The beautifnl blue gentian and sweet willow were to be found u p nt Skagen : the glossy Christhorn over nt Silk borg. The towns were signified bv emblems. Here was St. Canute with the dragon, signifying Odense; Absalot with a bishop's staff signifying Soro, and a little vessel with oars (Aarer] signified Aarhus. From the school' master's garden one could lenrn quitt well the geography of Denmark, but of course he must be instructed by ti e schoolmnster, which was so agreeable.

The comet was expected, and cou-cerning i t he told what people of old days, when it was last here, hnd said.

The comet is a good wine year ," 1-e said; "water may be mixed with i . without being perceptible. Wine-dealers like comet years."

During fourteen days nnd nights the sky was clouded, and the comet ob-scured ; but i* wns there. The old schoolmnster was sitting in his cham-ber close by the school-room. The Bornholm clock, which hnd belonged to his childhood's home, stood in the corner, the leaden weights neither rising nor falling, the pendulum motionless; the little cuckoo, which had formerly come forward cuckooing each hour, remained back in its place sUent; ail was still there, tne clock had ceased to go. But the old pian*, which hail also pertained to the home of his childhood, still possessed life ; the strings could resound, some-what hoarsely, the melodies of a whole human l i fe ; and thereby the old man kept in mind so much, both pleasant aud sad, in the long row of intervening years, since when as a child he had gnzed upon the comet, until now it was again here. He remembered what his mother had said about the shavings iu the l ight; he remembered the beauti-ful soap bubbles, each donating for him a year, he had said. How bright, how hill of colors, only the bright and joyous he saw therein; child play with youthful del ight : the whole wide world seemed to open for him in the sunshine, and out into i t ho was to g o ' Future bubbles! As an old man h 4

heard in the tones of the pinuo. melo dies of the p a s t : Retrospection bub bles! in all the color tints of memory. He heard his grandmother's knitting song: n

" Sure ly n o A m a z o n i a n T h o first s t o c k i n c k n i t t e d . "

Tlien resounded the ditty, sung to him in childhood by the old servant :

Many a d a n g e r f o r h i m . A long t h e l i fe p a ' h . W h o is now so l i t t l e , And so l i t t le k n o w l e d g e h a t h . "

Now ho heard the melodies of his first festal occasion; now soft, pathetic tunes brought tears to the old man's eyes; now came bursting forth a war march, now came a psalm melody, now a merry song, bubble af ter bubble, ns when a little boy he blew them from soap water.

His eyes were fixed upon the window out there upon the sky a cloud glided away, nnd he saw m the transparent air a comet, its gli t tering nucleus, i ts lumiuous tail.

I t seemed like yesterday evening when he saw it before, yet a whole rich human life lay between that time and the present. Then ho was a child, aud looked through the bubbles "forward; now the bubbles showed iu the back ward gaze. He felt the child mind, the child faith; his eyes shone, his hand fell upon the keys; it sounded as if a strinir had broken.

" Oh, come aud s?e ! " shouted the neighbor; " the comet is here. The sky is so beautifully clear 1 Come aud have a good view I "

The old school-master d^d not an-swer. He had gone for n good view, his soul was away on a greater orbit than that through which flies the comet, nnd now again wns gnzed upon from palace aud from cot, from the crowd upon the street and the lonely wanderer upon the pathless heath. His soul was looked upon by God and the dear ones gone before, those for whom it had longed.—i/a/u Christian Andersen.

An Existing Rueo of Pigmies. Dr. Schweinfnrth, who has traveled

extensively in Central Africa, recently entertained the Berlin Geographical Society with an account of a diminutive race of men, the Acca, whom he takes to bo tho originals of tho Pigmies celebrated iu Grecian literature, agree-ing with Aristotle iu the opinion that 'ie Pigmies of Homer and of Hero-

dotus wore uot altogether creaturos of tho imagination. Dr. Schweinfnrth made diligent inquiry, wherever he went, as to the existanco of dwarfish races of men. On the upper Nile he wns told of men " not over three feet in stature, wearing white beards, who were skilled in elephant-hnutinr nnd who sold ivory to foreign traders." But it was at the court of Munsa, King of the Mombuttu, that he first saw an in-dividual of this diminutive race. " One morning," says ho, " the camp rung with a joyous shout, ns my people brought in a curious timid little man, the palpable embodiment of myths which have been current for over so long." By means of gifts and kind nsage the pigmy was induced to take a seat, when he was measured and his portrait taken. He stated that ho was the head of a lamily, living half au hour's journey from the capital; that his tribe are called Acca, and that their country lies south ol that of tho Mom-br LtU; that they had been con-quered bv the latter, and settled in the neighborhood of tho royal resi-dence. His height wns ono metre (thirty-nine inches), nnd albeit he had n pendent belly aud very slender shanks, he performed incredible feats of agility. On the next day several others of his tribe, induced by the promise of gifts, paid our traveler a visit, nnd they too were measured and had their portraits taken. I t is to be regretted, however, that during the entire throe weeks' stay of tho doctor at Munsa's court, he never had the good fortune to see a pigmy woman. But why did he not go to the settle-ment and visit the ladies himself ?

The Acca are noted warriors, not-withstanding their diminutive stature. It happened during Schweinfurtlrs stay at tho court that Ring Mumery, es-corted by several hundred Acca war-riors, paid a visit to his brother Munsn, bringing him a share of the plunder taken in a recent campaign. These Tikitiki (men who understand war) fought sham battles for the eutertaiu-irent of the traveler.

The only domestic animal among the Acca is the common barnyard fowl, and i t is worthy of remark that an ancient mosaic at Naples pictures the pigmies

company with snob fowls. The

Postal Cards nnd their Use. The enormous demand for the postal

cards, which has already exceeded the expectations of the Postaffice Depart-ment by more than one-half, renders any information regarding their use of great importance to the public. As i t may not be generally known that any writing whatever upon the face of the cards, except the uecessary address, subjects the card to full letter postage, the following communication commends itself to attention, as it is in reply to a question which but few people under-stand .

P # S T OFFICE DEPABTMEXT. ) APPOINTMENT OFFICE, •

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 23, 1873,) SIB :—In reply to your letter ol the

18th instant, I have to s sy that any ad-ditional matter other than the address on the face of a postal card renders i t unmailable, except at letter rates of postage. Very respectfully,

J . W . MAKSHALL, First Assistaut Posimaster General. T. M. James, Esq., Postmaster, New

York. , The construction of the law regard-I ing tho postal caids is further indicated by the following extract from tho offi-cial ruling of the Depar tment ;

" The law authorizing the issue of postal cards does uot contemplate the addition of any matter other thau a communication which may be printed or written with a pencil or ink. If any matler i s attached to a postal card, the card should be treated as a letter, and held for postage at the mailing office, bu t reaching the office of delivery it should be treated as wholly unpaid, and double letter rates collected on de-livery."

A Fearful Fall. Three young men went across from last, when patience had ceased to be ai

virtue, ho told the boy to go into tho Lerwick to the adjoining island of next room, whore there was a fellow: Bressay to enjoy themselves. After

The boy's hair stood on end, his tongue palsied, and ho dropped bis stock in trade instanter, and scampered off as

the island, they went on the headland of Noss, and ascended to the top of a cliff which is 550 fee: in height. At this season of the year the sea fowl are breeding on the cliffs in large numbers, and one. of the party, David Affleck, 22

The | years old, had gone to roll a stone over physician, a kind-hearted man withal, i the too in order to raise the birds, and very tall and lank, by the way, when he overbalanced fearing that he had carried the joke to far, picked up the candy and ran to the Bide« alk, crying out " Come back, boy, there's nothing here to hurt you." " O h , no," said the boy, gesticulating with his thumb and fingers from the end of his nose, " y o u don ' t come that on me ; I know ye, ef you have got your clothes on."

In Nebraska the proportion is still larger Of 122,993 inhabitants, no less than 104,463 had immigrated—73,-715 from other States and 80,784 from foreign lands.

The magnet which draws tho American massos, afld all immigrants westward, is a virgin soil—not forest clad so that stnmps will survive tbe settlers who clear the land—but ready for the breaking plow. So Lord Durham testified to the British Parliament in 1838. Uis words were, on bis return from America : "The amasing prosperity of the United States is less owing to their form of government than to the un-limited supply of fertile land, which maintainfl succeeding generations in an nndiminishing affluence of fertile land."

This movement westward-and having sneb a west to move to—is the secret of American progress. Thus the United States havo within a centary, increased l t400 per cent, in population, and faster than that in other elements of prosperity.

The best meter of western settle-ment is tbe record io the U. S. Laad offices. The claims filed in that at Lincoln, the capital of Nebraska, amounted on the last day of 1872 to 35,757 homesteaders or preemptors. Within thirty-three months before that date, tbe settlers who bad bought farms in Nebraska of the Bnrungton and |Missonri River rail-road, was 2,325.

Few of these buyers had much capital, but tbey make their farms pay for themselves by tbeir products. This miracle is easy, since tbey bought on ten years credit nnd six per cent interest,—on contracts made since 1872 nothing of the priucipal is payable till the end of four years, and lor prompt improvement twenty per cent is thrown [off from the land price.

From Appleton's Journal. JOE HOKTOVS PASSENGER,

was gone, leaving bim looking after her like one iu a dream.

The olouds were getting lower and heavier na the boatman set off with his ptiHHenger.

" Looks as if we should have a spell of weather," said the latter, glancing from the leaden sky to the leaden water. 4' Hope vou're what they cracked vou up to be, for if I got a ducking here I shouldn't fiud myself again in a hurry."

" Well, I 'm as good as they'll aver-(, 1 reckon, mister—I didn't hear

your name," said Joe, looking up in-quiringly.

" Peter Groom is my name, and one I ain't ashamed o f ; it'll be pretty well known in tbese parts by this day week, I 'm thinking," and the man smiled a smile not pleasant to see.

" How's that ? " said Joe, anxious to betray no previous knowledge.

" I ' v e come to give evidence in a trial that's coming off in your country town," answered Groom, motioning toward the Milham shore. " I 've trav-

ur-un-

eled nigh five hundred miles on p pose to do it, nnd I 'd travel five ht dred more if Hwas needed.

1 Is i t the Sawyer trial yon mean ? " - 'fc,

The day was drawing c lose; ohill and raw. Lake Village was almost always gusty, but just now the wind was having its own way more than usual, and any passer through the long, bleak street, happened to glance in at the window of the little water-side tavern, might well have been tempted by the bright fire and good company inside the bar.

They were the usual afternoon loafers, with tho exception of one small, wiry-looking man, a stranger, who had stopped to take a glass of something hot, and who, at the mo-ment, was evidently the centre of the general interest.

" But what is it you know an.vhow, s t ranger?" asked one of the group. *' Come, now, among friends."

" Never you mind," answered tho man addressed, " I know enough to shut up John Sawyer a pretty spell, if uot to make him swing, and I know how to toll i t when the right time comes, don't you bo afraid for that. The day's getting on," he added, abruptly, rising and turning toward tho window, " a u d your duck pond there don't look over agreeable just now. " Who's a good boatman here-abouts? for ; if I 'm spilt, Ican ' tswim."

" J o e Gorton's your man," was the answer; " h e couldn't tip over if he tried, couldn't Joe."

" Why don't you wait till to-morrow, stranger, if you re afeared o' the weath-

? and them clouds over there do look kinder pesky," said the landlord rfif the Lakeside House, turning a orac-tioal eye on the gray mingling outlines of the lake and sky. •

" Well, fact is," said the other, " I 'm acquainted over in Milham, and, if it 's all the same to you "—with a wink— " I 'd rather be there than h e r e ; so, if you'll hunt up this Joe What's-his* name, I'll be obliged."

The landlord, resenting the wink and t h e implied insinuation, opened tha door and called out, sulkily, to some one in tlie next room: " Margy, run down to the water and tell Joe there's a passenger here."

I n another minute the house door closed, and a tall, slight girl's figure, with a shawl over its head, might have been seen hurrying down to the water side.

Joe Gorton, busy about his boat, hoard his name called, and, looking up, saw tho girl Margy. The sharp wind had blown out stray locks of her crisp, black hair from under the red shawl, but the hectic in the cheeks, and the ferverish brightnoes in the dilated eyes, were not all the wind's work. She enmo close to the young boat-man, who raised himself up, facing her.

" Joe ," she said, " there's a passen ger waiting up to tho house ;" sue laid her hand ou his arm, and glanced aau-tiously round before adding, in a whis-per ; " J o e , if once that man reaches the other side, it's all up with father."

" W h a t ' s that, Margy?" said the .boatman, looking wonderingly at her.

" I toll you I heard i t ; he 11 bring it home to him, he says so, he's come a purpose. It 's father's chance clean gone if you take him across."

" D o y o u mean I should refuse to take him, Margy?" said Joe, slowly.

" W h a t good would that do?" said t h e girl, impatiently. " Kelly or some of 'em would take him fast enough; what 's father 's life against a fare I No, i t ' s you must take him, Joe, and then, il anything happens," sinking her voice to a meaning whisper, "nobody but you and me's the wiser."

Joe started back. •"I can't help it I" cried the girl pas-

sionatoly, twisting her fingers in the shawl-fringe so that it snapped; " he:8 my father, and never was a better but for tho drink—you know, yourself, everybody says so—and, if yon could h«<ar that man up there laughing and boasting he'll hang h im! Joe, you'd Mud it hard to keep your hands off ol h im ; but I don't ask you to so much a s touch a finger to him, only, if the boat turns over he can't swim. I heard him say so, aud then father's saved,

- aud nobody's the wiser, for the best boatman that ever was might have an accideut on a squally evening like tbis ,"

" There, there, Margy, be still, poor girl, you don't know what you're say-ing ," interposed Joe,

" Yes I do , " said she pasoionately : *4 never you think that, Joe Gorton. I tol l you it lays with you to save father o r to kill him : yes, and mo too, for if t hey hang him I'll npver live over the day, and that I swear, BO you choose between us. Hark! " s h e turned to listen. " I can't stay." She pressed her hand hard On hisffioulder, looking u p piteoualy i n his fpce. " Joe, if you ever cared for me, save that poor old xnan! " And before he could ouswer she

asked Joe, carelessly. "Peop le have been saying there ain't evidence enough to make a case, but I 'spose then there's something new turned B p ? "

" I should rather think so; some-thing that'll make a case'll hold John Sawyer as tight as his coffin."

Joe clinched his hand on his oar. He was beginning to understand Margy's hatred for this man, with his open exultation in the ruin he was going to work.

" I ' m sorry for the old man," he said, after a pause, " and so are moat folks abont here. Wilson was known for a bully, and, if Sawyer really done it, 'twas that—that and the drink, for when he's himself he wouldn't hur t a worm."

"You 've no need to tell tae what John Sawyer is, "said the other shortly. " I knew him before you was born, be-fore ever he came into theso parts ."

" W e l l , " said the boatman, "you 've a queer notion of old acquaintance sake then, that 's all.

" I 'll give him a swing for old ac-quaintance sake, if I can," replied Groom, with a scowl.

Joe drew a quick breath. " Can you do t h a t ? " he said. " T h a t or a lifter. I tell you, my

man, I saw it done." " Y o u saw Sawyer kill Wilson?" ex

claimed Joe, stopping short on his oars.

" I saw him strike the blow that kill ed him, and that comes to pretty nigh the same thing, I take i t . "

" But how is i t you've kept back all along ?"

" Well, it 's like this ," said Groom, who appeared to be in a more commu-nicative mood that a while before. " The day of the murder—to begin at the beginning—I happened to be pass-ing through Milham, and stopped over a train there to see a man I had deal-ings with. He lived a little out of town, a lonesome road, par t of the way across some fields. I did my business and started back again alone, as I had come. Half-way, or thereabouts, I heard a kind of cussing and quarreling in the next field—right close to my oar it sounded, only I couldn't see any thing for the high hedge. 'Wha t ' s u p , ' t h i n k s I , ' m i g h t as well take a peep.' 'Twas an uncommon fine even-ing ; moonlight you could almost see to read by, and I knew Sawyer as soon as I set eyes on him. His face was turned exactly to me, and ugly enough it looked then. The next minute I saw him strike out, and the other man went down like a log."

ig i t ," said Groom, who had no-ticed the movement. " A sweetheart, when she's the right sort, is what no man need ba ashamed of. I had one myself when I was your age--"' he stopped a moment—" I don' t 'spose you'd often see her like, I never did. There was a girl up at that place, that tavera there, had a kind of look of her about the eyes and forehead, but noth-ing to compare—f had a friend, too— veil, it ain't much of a story," Groom ovoke with a dry laugh, " a n d I don't hardly know why I tell it at all, only, naybe, it 'll help you to make

out what seems to puzzle you. Ti\e long and short of i t is, that my friend—mind that, youngster! my friend cheated me out of my sweet-heart. I ain't much to look at, I know, never was, but I could care for a woman just as much as if I 'd been six loot high, and fresh as a rose, and I 'd take my oath she cared for me, too, till he came between us with a false tongue enough to turn any girl's head. Well he came off first bes t ; she lef t me and went away with him. I swore then, boy," said Groom, looking darkly in his listener's earnest face, " that, if ever my day come, I 'd be even with John Sawyer; I never thought'twould, but i t has, and do you think I'll let my chance slip now ? No, by God!" and the man brought down his fist with a force that shook tbe boat side.

" T h a t was hard lines sure enough," said Joe, thoughtfully, " But, Mr. Groom, you was speaking just now of a girl up at the tavern there ? She's my sweetheart, and," added the boatman, slowly, " she's Sawyer's girl, his only child."

" N o ! " exclaimed Groom, evidently moved by the intelligence. " Hatty 's child," he muttered to himself, " H a t t y ' s child

"Yfts ," said Joe, eagerly, " d o n ' t forget whose child she is, and that you'll make her sufier along with the old man."

" A h , " said Groom, " t h a t ' s all very well, bu t I d. n' t forget neither whoso child she is on the other side. No! I 'm sorry for the girl, and lor you, young ste, since you've au inerest in her, but I 'd have my pay out of John Sawyer now, if I was to die for i t ."

Joe 's grasp tightened convulsively on his oar. Was the man crazy, thus to make a boast of the misery he would cause before one whose advantage and

i t alike was to insure his

' Aud you let him lay ?" interrupted Joe. in excitement. " Y o u never called for help, nor nothing?"

" What for ?" said Groom, careless-ly. " I thought 'twas a drunken quar-rel—I knew what Sawyer was—and I left them to settle it between them-selves. I had to look sharp for the next train, so I hurried back to tho hotel, and none too soon either. 1 never thought again about the matter, till tho other day I happened to hear that John Sawyer was going to be tried for murder, and taking this way and that, I found the time and the gen'ral circumstances agreed with that evening —so, then, I know I had seen the thing done."

Groom paused a moment, and when he resumed it was in an abstracted tone.

" 'Twasn ' t particularly convenient for me to leave my business just then ; if it 'd been anybody else, I 'd likely have left the poor devil to sink or swim as might bo, but John Sawyer! I tell vou," he continued, through his set

the boatman's eyes, ho appeared suddenly conscious of listener, " I ' d let all I 've got go to rack and ruin for the pleasure of seeiP; John Sawyer stand there, a disgrace and ruined man, and saying to him, ' 'Twas me that did it I ' "

There was something in Joe Gorton's breast on which the fierce words and manner jarred painfully. He was no

tiroacher, this poor untaught boatman io did not know how to tell the man

before him that his promised revenge was cruel and cowardly; but yet he felt that, even setting aside Margy's interests, there was something in it which roused all his instincts of resist-ance. He shook his head as ho thought about it.

" That 's a feeling I can't make out ," he said, half aloud.

" Can't you ?" said Groom, shortly supposing the remark addressed to himself. " Have you got a sweetheart, young man ?" he added, abruptly, after a short pause.

" A sweetheart?" repeated Joe, ntartiag at the association connected with tho question, and the man who put it.

" Well, you've no cause to be shy of

silence ? who had him almost as com pletely at his mercy here on this un familiar element as if they two had been alone iu all the earth ? If he were to die for i t I Every plunge of the dark water seetaed to be repeatinf those words. The boatman rousec himself with a start at the sound of his passenger's voice.

"You ' r e a pretty feller, ain't yon, now," aaid the latter, resuming the subject in a lighter tone, "want ing to persuade me to cheat justice after that fashion ? "

" As for tha t , " answered Joe, " you said, yourself, if i t had been anybody but Sawyer you wouldn't have troubled to hunt him down, and I can't see as that 's any better notion of justice than mine. Besides," he added, gravely, " the old man's got his death sentence a'ready, if that 's what you want ; what with tne drink, he ain't the man he used to be, and the night of the quar-rel he got a cough that 's tearing him all to pieces ; the doctors say he can't live long, nohow."

" He'll live long enough to make the acquaintance of a rope's end, I reckon," said Groom, with a coarse laugh, " a n d that 's all I care about."

The brutal words and manner roused the lurking devil in Joe Gorton's heart. He stammered out a curse, inarticulate for passion.

" E h ? " said Groom, catching the sound, but noc the words, " what's that you say ?"

The boatman stopped rowing ; and leaned forward till he almost touched Groom where he sat.

" J u s t put yourself in the old man's place for a minute," he began with au effort, speaking quietly. " 'Spose there was somebedy'dgot the chance aud the will to get shut o' you, just as you havo of old Sawyer—"

" What are you driving at now!" in-terrupted Groom. ' 'There ain't any-body, as I know of has got e i t h e r -more luck for me?" he added, with a laugh.

Ain't there?" said the boatman, slowly, "You talk about justice, Mr. Groom," he resumed, " b u t i t ain't justice you've set out to do—it's mur-der. You've got the law on your side as it happens, but all tbe same as far as you're concerned, i t 's murder—as bad, for what I can see, as if some-body—as it might be me,"—said J o e ; lookin. : friendly in the other's face in the growing dusk, "somebody with a motive, no matter what, for wanting to be rid of you, getting you all alone, as

eep nim away, and before the second lightning-bolt could tear the cloud, he had thrown himself after Groom.

When the two rose together, the boat was nowhere in sight. There was nothing now for it but to strike out for the shore. Luckily, the Milham side was not now very distant; still, it was a hard stretch through the numbing watei, encumbered, as he was, with his heavy clothing and the weight of Groom, who, moreover, himself com-pletely helpless, held him with a ner-vous clutch that half strangled him. By the time they neared the shore, his strength was pretty well apent, but the growing lights gave him heart again ; ie rested an instant for the final pull, and just then it was that the gust seiz-ed him, unprepared, and whirled him away from the inlet he was making for, to the rock-ledge jutt ing into it. that caught and battered him—poor Joe.

He was conscious when they took him up, but there was a look in his face that foretold the end, even before the doctors did. As for Groom, he had been shielded by Joe 's body, and, tough and wiry as he was, was scarcely the worse for the whole adventure. When he he heard what thoy were say-ing about Joe, he burst out with an oath, and hurried to where he lay.

" W e l l , Gorton, and how is it with you ?" he said, affecting to speak cheer-fully, though struck at once by that look ef death in his face.

" A b o u t as bad as it can be, Mr. Groom," answered Joe, feebly. " Tho old boat and I'll go down together, reckon."

• Now, never you talk that stuff, my man," said Groom, in almost a bluster-ing way, perhaps to conceal a certain unsteadiness of voice, " I owe you life, and I ain't one to rest till I 've paid it, if i t taks all the doctors from here to Jericho. I 've got means I tell ye."

" N o use, Mr. Groom," said Joe, " there ain't no doctor could patch n what's smashed inside of me. But loo here," and he instinctively lowering his voice, with a glance at the attendant, though there was little fear of that broken whisper reaching any ears but those close to it, " i t ' s what I wanted to speak to you about—you owe me a life; mine ain't yours tc give—but old Sawyer's is—"

Groom's face darkened. " I swear I 'd almost rather you asked for my own," he muttered.

" But you'll promise, Mr. Groom ?" said Joe, in his earnestness managing to half raisehimself, "you ' l l promise?'

"Wel l—I {j'pose I ain't got no choice," answered Groom, still reluc tantly; "yes, I do promise, there'i my head ou i t ."

A gleam of intense delight for the moment almost drove the death-look from Joe's face. " It 's all right. Mar gy," ho whispered softly to himself, and laid his hand back again.

Yes, it was all right, as Heaven sees right. When John Sawyer had been discharged for want of evidence, when the Lake Village gossips, wondering over the stranger's disappearance, con eluded that his boasts had boen mere idle talk to make a sensation, Margy could have told them bettor. She knew how it was Joe had died, she knew that a life had been paid for her fa ther ' s ; and in a heart softened by pain she ocknowledged that her prayer had been answered in God's own way.

Sunflowers Good for Somethincr. A writer in Coleman's Rural World

urges farmers to put in a patch of sun-flowers. The yield, he says, is about equal to corn, and they require about tho same attention. A little occasion-ally mixed with horso feed gives a fine coat. Every farmer's wife, especially on the prairie, will br pleased to see a goodly lot of the stalks stacked near the kitchen. Foi kindling these havo no superior, aud are easily prepared, for a feeble child can break tho largest stalk across the knee. The stalks make splendid bean polos. Plant ns soon ns the frost is out of the ground, aud when i t comes time to plant tho beans tho sunflowers will be kneo high. Then thin out to a single stalk, and plant tho beans a t the root ; you will thus get two crops. Chemists tell us its ashes contain four-fold moro alkali than or-dinary wood. I t ib also a splendid pro-tection from cold w.nds when they are set against the north and west fences. Cattle take to it, and do not pull it down as they do straw or stalks. Again, if a man lives in a malarious district and owns an acre of land, it would pay him well to devote half of it to the sunflower, which is an acknowledged absorber of noxious exhalations.

Hey! d'ye mean to threaten mo?" cried Groom, springing up. Jus t thou the breaking gust stnick sharp on the boat's side that left to her own guid-ance, had drifted around. She gave a lurch and bound that sent Groom, who in starting back, had lost his balance, overboard like a shot.

Joe stared for an instant at the empty place opposite, hardly compre-hending what had happened so quick-ly, then, sudden as the lightning dart-ing through the blue sky above him, it flashed into hia mind that there were silence and safety, and through no act of his. " Why not profit by the acci-dent ? Why not, in the man's own spirit, in his very words, 'leave him to sink or swim,' as might b e ? ' " But Jot- could no more be deceived by his own, than by others' sophistries ; a voice with him cried, " If you leave this man to die, you are his murderer! ' ' A great surge of horror and remorse lor the thought that had been iu his

POPULAR FALLACY AND D E C E P T I O N S , -

I t is an infirmity of man to cling to the teachings of a past generation, and to stubbornly resist the light of reform and progr-.iH. Health-reform and Temperance-growth are jealously watched over by tho Poison Bitters compounders. One great prevailing deception of the present age, is the impression that every human biped of either sex must be stimulated, and the poisoned chalice is labeled " Medicated Bitters," the better to palliate their use and prolong the epidemic. One of the most zealous workers to cure this mal-ady, DR. JOSEPH WALKER, Inventor and Proprietor of the fumed CALIPORNIA VINEGAR BITTERS, believes in making Bitters that are " t r u e medicine," and advises the sick man to swallow a draught that will wash out the Leprosy of his disease.
