Romance of a Pqcket-Boqk. 1 I iraa just 25 when I met Alice Thome, the daughter and heiress of George Thorne, the great banker. I fell desperately in love with the harming girl, knowing well that such love was utter madness. Her father was reported to be a very

bank and get it cashed. Having executed the commission and returned, imagine my horror on discovering that tbe xfeket-book containing the money was gone. Whether stolen by villains or lost by my own carelessness, what mattered it ? It was gone, and "I was utterly ruined. What I suffered during the next few hours God only knows ; and when, after being dismissed, I returned to my own room I was .very nearly desperate ; not only had I lost a lucrative position, but my future appeared to be irretrievably blasted ; for there are suspicions which, are as - fatal to a man morally as would, be physically the wound of a rifle ball." But I was young and of a hopeful nature, and I began to realize that I bad been leniently dealt with. On recalling all that had happened after my leaving the bank, and the utter impossibility of tbe pocket-book being taken from the breast-pocket of my coat, I came to the conclusion that I must have dropped it, and thereupon I resolved to have recourse to all means in my power to recover the money. I had saved up during the last few years a considerable portion of my salary, and determined now to devote it to the purpose I had in view. I advertised daily in all the prominent jonr-
' but describing my unfortunate position, my honor lost and my fortune blighted. r For two weeks I kept my loss before the public, and had almost begun to rfosnfkir of atjv favorftbla resnlt whtm'

eyes, that had something familiar about them. The stranger declined the seat I offered to him and began at once speaking brusquely and to the point. "I have heard of your loss," said he. "I have read your advertisement in the papers, and 1 feel deeply interested in and for you. I have just left your late employers, and, after the satisfactory manner in which all my inquiries were answered, I became your surety for the $20,000." "Whatr I sprung toward him in the wildest excitement.
" Oh, sir T I began, bat he stopped . me. "Let me finish," said he. "I've done this because I am convinced that you are an upright, honest man, and the greatest proof of my confidence I can give you is that I am about to offer you the position of cashier in my banking house. . My name, sir, ia George Thorne." ; "
Ueorge Thorne, the father of Alice, the girl that I loved t Ah, the mystery was solved! It was of her hia eyes reminded me ; it was to her J was indebted for this help.
Fifteen years had flown since the day Host the pocketbook. I had now betame a prosperous man. surrounded by
: rD the luxuries which wealth affords. I hid found in Mr, Thome more than a : patron I found ia friend ; under a
brusque manner ne had a heart of gold. .Frpm the first day of our acquaintance he had evhwed toward -me the liveliest interest and affection. I was soon made partner, and when, on a certain blessed day, I became the husband of Alice, and his son-in-law, he presented me with a receipt for the $20,000 that he had paid to the Messrs. Overton for my loss.
So time went on. The banking-house known as the firm of Thorne & Wallace was in a thriving condition. I had a beautiful wife and two lovely children, and yet, with all the sources of happiness, I was not quite contented--. , there was a crease in the rose-leaf,- -: For some time post I had been Vainly endeavoring to account for the extraordinary interest which my father-in-law had first taken in me, because I discovered, as I grew older and saw more of
this selfish, egotistical world, that very . few such generous actions were performed without motive, and the solution of this, to me, difficult problem frequently occupied my thoughts. At first I had attributed it all to Alice's influence, but I knew now that it had been aa orcAt & nmriw Lr hr
to myself. About this time Dr. Ponard, one of Mr. Thome's moat intimate friends, arrived in New York, and one morning, while sitting at breakfast, expressed
gxcat surprise at me. numerous advertisements in the papers relating to money lost and found. - " Well," said he, I have not the least sympathy for those who lose money. They are generally careless, stnpid pe pie not fit to be trusted ; although I remember having heard of a young man who lost a pocket-book, some years ago, containing 820,000, and I declare when I read his piteous appeals, which were in all the papers, my heart fairly ached for him.- "But," continued he, addressing my lither-in-law, who had become very pa7e, "you ought to remember the circumstances, for it occurred just at the lime of the great failure in Philadelphia, by which you were so heavy a loser." " Yes, I recollect the affair," replied Mr. Thorne, who appeared to be suffering. " I never heard," continued the doctor, "what iecame of the poor devil ; and yet I should like to know;" "Should- you?1 said I, laughing; "then lftfc me gratify your curiosity, f, Arthur Wallace, am that poor devil, doctor ; save from ruin and despair by mv enefactor here." And then I related all tl.e events of the last fifteen years. The doctor sprung to his feet and graced his old friend's hand. " Well and generously done I" said he ; but Mr, Thorne interrupted him, " I
am not well," he said, faintly, " I suffer greatly let me go to my room." The next day he sent for me to his private office. I found him. looking pale and haggard. " Sit down, my dear Arthur," said ho, in a low voice, "and listen to me. For a long time I have had a confession to make to you one that weighs on me so heavily that I must ease my conscience of its load. I can better bear to do so now, that1 1 have in a measure made some amends for the trouble I once caused you." " 44 The trouble you caused me," cried I. "Yon have been the most generous of men to me. It is through your kindness I occupy nry present position ; it is to you I owe my happiness, and, more than all, my honor." Mr. Thome opened his desk, and touk from it a pocketbook. " Do you remember this ?" said he, as he placed it in my ; hand. "Yes," replied I, "it is the one J lost : but how " ' I could not finish my question. Xhc truth stared me in the face. 1 sprang to my feet in. dismay. " Great heavens 1" I cried; "you found the money." .- Aye, and kept it," he groaned, with anguish in his voice. " But oh ! do not condemn me without heaving me. Yesterday "yon heard Dr. Ponard allude' to. ;
the great losses A had sustained by tin failure in Philadelphia. 1 did not dare to make my embarrassments known, as that would have hastened my ruin my ruin !.. . God knows it was not for myself that I cared, but for Alice,1 my darling child. It was on the 14th, of December that yon lost the money. Oh, I shall never forget the date. It' wa.s on that -day that I meditated suicide. T was short of $20,000 to meet my liabilities, maturing on the loth. I was overwhelmed with despair ; the air of the office seemed to atiile me, and I rushed into , the street. I had hardly gone ten yards when my foot struck something. It was your pocket-book. I opened it, and the sight turned me giddy and faint Then commenced- within my breast one of those moral struggles which, even to the conqueror, is fearful, but in which, alas ! I was miserably "vanquished. The next day I satisfied all claims upon me. To the world I was George Thome, an honest, upright man ; to myself I was nothing better th.m a malefactor. You know the rest. Through my gnilt you pnssed two weeks of indescribable anguish. I have since endeavored to make reparation for the misery I caused ; but I also' suffered. Moral atonement s are t h e most cruel, because they are eternal. I have known and- yet feel the bitterness of expiation. Say, my son,. can you forgive my crime ? " Oould I forgive ? I looked at the pallid face, anguished eyes. What were my sufferings of those two- terrible weeks compared to the secret pain and shame this man had borne for years ' this man, the victim of one solitary deviation from rectitude, so upright in all else, and whose life since had been one long atonement. I grasped his hand, tears filled my eyes. - " Father," I cried, "Alice's father and mine, all is forgiveE, forgotten; Do I not owe all the happiness oi my life to that same lost pocket-book?"

MiuK.The aouroe of the acarlet fever epidemic near London was traced by Dr. Steveubon, a medical oificer of health, to the milk sent there from two farms in Oxfordshire. Scarlet fever had previously prevailed in Oxfordshire, and the milk snt out from there was found to contain the infectious germs. The doctor advise all who have .the. care of invalids or iufauts to boil tlieir milk before using it. We are not in favor of sdnuding useless alarms, but in the case of infants or delicate persons we think it as well to boil the milk before giving it, especially when it may come from several cows, Rural irc Yorker. i ' Didn't Bark All the Time.

The lawyer replied: "We have heard nothing froio you on that.

FARM NOTES. A farmer of experience in wool-grow-lng has well said there is more money in growing at twenty cents a pound than to loan your money at ten per cent, interest. Tins grease which has become hardened by dust on the axles of machinery can all be cleaned off by the use of kerosene. BrxcHES of grapes were kept three months by an Austrian grower who dipped the ends of the stems in wax and packed the fruit in kilu-dried ground hark. Professor Rflet Bays that kerosene or oil of any kiud is sure death to insects in all stages and the only substance- with which we may hope to destroy the oggs. Oils -will not mix directly with water, but will mix with milk, fresh or sour, and then may bu diluted to any desired extant. Wbak Eyes tn Houses. A good authority gives the following as a remedy for horses eyes t hat are weak, winking and inflamed: Take tin egg and break the largo end enough to admit thehnndle of a teaspoon; pour out the albumen or white; mix iu all the salt you can uutil it is quite sliiV, then set it in the center of a heap of red coals and let it burn until doue baking; then" when cool grind and blow a piece of. it into the eyes once a day. Pitui'Tiso KaStuo Hitter One of ,ur foreign contemporaries gives the following mods of clarifying rancid and tainted butter: Let the butter le melted and skimmed as for clarifying; then ..put into it a piece of bread w ell toasted all over, but not burnt. Iu a few minutes the butter will lose its offensive t-xste and smell, but the bread will become' .perfectly fetid.

Still it is so simple that any one can try it Kkethvo- Milk. 3filk will absorb bad odors from the ah quicker than almost ai?.y other liquid, therefore great care should be taken that it is not exposed to any condition where it will be likely to be damaged in that way. In manufacturing cream into butter, groat, cave is necessary as to the quality of solt used, as great loss may be entailed by this alono. The salt is a very small item initself, nevertheless it has' cost many dollars iu the couvao of a year through thedamans' done by the use of an' ii-forior article. Always use" the5 heni ' known" brands and keep a close watch upon them at that. The' use of firkins, pails' or tubs made of any kind of wood thai imparts an unpleasant flavor must bo avoided, as, after packing, butter is very susceptible in coming in contact with any flavors of this kind. - Preserving Partcht:. Among many propositions te renovate the pasture, one has been overlooked management. It is the eheapesfaml moat practical manure on the fann. The common plan is to have but one pasture, upon which tho cattle mufct graze at nil times. If it comes to the hare sod during thesoa.son.? of extreme drought the stock must continue to grub at the sod for want of betT ter. -' This exposes the roots of the grass to the sun or injures or destroys th plant; Suppose- we use our trees and shrubs in that way, the -detriment- to growth would be at once apparent!. A good top on grass for growth is as necessary aa upon trees. That ono hundred acres of land in two pastnres will keep one-third more stock than the .nme number of acres in one pasture has long been known to the practical farmer. The reason is that the stock can bo removed before it has grazed the pasture too closely, before the roots of the grass are uncovered. A plan that will renovate hundreds of pastares ia Iowa is this: Let the grass have a good start in the spring, say four inches, before turning on the stock, and change pastures as often as the pasture appears to be closely grazed. .Vo.

If the bees can pass the winter until March and the stores needed during the cold winter are very Jight compared with those consumed'" later after brood-rearing commences; then we nlay feed either honey or syrup.

Pierce tells the Ari ertowt C.iHivaU.r how he raises" one hundred bushels of shelled corn to the aero; He used for seed au eight-rowed corn which he has improved by careful selection, and believts it to be a good variety to raise, anywhere between Yirgiria and the Canada line. The ground' selected for planting was a ' good pio' of gravelly loam. It was well plowed about the first of May, liarrowe L- treated to a broadcast application of nico hundred pounds fertilizer to the acre; again harrowed faithfully, rendering the land fine and mellow; rows marked three feet apart, a small amount of fertilizer scattered to each row. lfay 10th, three kernels of corn planted in each hill; two feet apart in the r w; cultivated and hoed ' four times, allowing ho weeds to grow; passed through the entiro piece, cutting each hill down to two stalks; every sucker in each hill cut throughout, the field. During the entire pcricd ol growth through the season the field was closely watched, every weed pulled and every ear of smut cut out. At the proper time, after the corn had become hard, it was cut, bound in bundles, and stocked.. When dry it was drawn into the barn, where, with the assistance of a hired man, the corn was husked weighed as husked, aud found to yield one hundred and ten bushels of shelled earn to the acre, allowing seventy-five pounds of ears to equal one bushel of shelled corn.

Horso Thieves of India. The Khybev Puss is the chief gateway into Cabul. Kixieeu miles from it ia the city of Peshawar. Two mil--s from the city is the English cantonment: containing nine or ten regiments. The nd.v lining vclk:V and hills nr: full of profe'--fiou:d robhors. The ohj-.vh which they leve to steal arc :nms, immey. and horses. In scorning these lhey show skill and daring. A writer in Ohawbrri Jo:ir$ml tells -several anccdtes of these thieves, which exhibit their M;ill in horse stealing: The most popular plan of horse stealing requires at lc it three men t cany it out comfortably and sucvcv.full.v. One of them quietly steals his way into'thc stable, and lays hold of ft cord which has been pushed through one of the airholes in the wall by one Jt hia friends outside. The two use the string as n saw. while the third pours upon it a plentiful supply of water. The cord silently and speedily cuts its w;i y down the mud wr.ll. Tn a wi mderfully short time the three craftsmen limmcro to snw around a portion of the wall, which, wh;u pushed outwards, leaves .a ?pace smlicient to allow a horso topns out. This done, the remaining work presents no dimYulty. The ropes which bind the horse are cut, and in a short tee he is cantcriug to the hills, with generally two and sometimes his three new masters on his back. A somewhat held and impudent exploit in the horse-fa tot; Hug Hue' was theamusement and the talk of the station for some days. The eaulonment ia literally a camp. At sundown a chain -of sentries communicating : with each- other is posted right around it. This demands a great number of men, and nil regiments, cavalry and iufutry, European and native nightly give their propoi tions. . A native trwper on the occasion to which I refer, fastened his horse to the peg fixed about the middle of his "beat ;" aud to keep up his courage and himsdf warm the night was very dark end bitterly cold walked pretty smartly backwards and forwards oii his "In at." The. extent of this walk was not more than thirty yards, and thus at no time could ho have been more thnu fifteen yards from his charger. He was armed in the usual way, with ft short rifle and tid war. or sword. i j While thus doing duty, a hill man managed to crawl quite close to him without exciting notice and waiting quietly until the sentry was near the end of his walk, and, of course, with hie back to the horse, " the robber cut the chargers rope, mounted him. and in a moment was .galloping: vi.way from the station. The sentry fired his rille in the direction in which his steed had gone: guards turned out, and a great noise was raised; but the outwitted soldier never saw his horse againi To him the loss was' a serious one, as the Jiorstrs cf rhe nativo cavalry regiments do not belong to the Government, but to the troopers themselves.

Parlor Magic. Borrow & Panama hat, the more expensive the better, and hold it up so that your audience can see that it does not contain either a savings bank or a white whale. Yon then procure an ordinary kerosene lamp, remove the shade and light the wick. You are now ready. Pass the hat five or six times over the light, or until it is a complete blaze; then quickly placing the hat in a box, into which you have previously deposited two pounds of common gunpowder the hat and box will instantly disappear. This trick never fails to astonish. A very amusing, although exciting trick, is to cause a person in the audience to start from his. scat without the aid of. machinery, bent pius, or the placing ol. hands. 'Iliis feat requires a little reparation during the day, as will be seen. Yon open a book and pretend to read as if from its contents, and immediately a young lady in the audience will start toward you with a shriek, and if you are wise you will havo a rear window open, through which you can pass. The secret 'of the trick consists in your reading a purloined letter of your sister's from her lover. Lay a wager with' some gentleman in front of yon that ho can not walk to within three feet of you without pausing and throwing back 'his head, assuring him that the iioor will not be obstructed in any manner. This trick never fails, and its success depends upon having a well-waxed thread sfcreched across the room at the height of the gentleman's throat Do not attempt this with your father. A good conclusion to an evening's entertainment of this kind is called "Dissolving Feat," in which you turn out the gas for sixty seconds, and on lighting it the room will bo vacated of all but yourself, The moment the gas is turned out vnn nniiliiM fmm a. hormeticallv sealed

Before the audience assembles place your little brother under a ban-el, having, of course, lirst instructed him lis to the replies he should make to your questions. At the proper time you walk up to the barrel, and, giving it a sharp rap with your knuckles, say: "Are you there, sir?" The reply comes, "No, I am somewhere else !" Then you hold an animated conversation with a supposed (?) person, in which many of vour family secrets are divulged, and when at the close you inform your audience that you will iinitato a drowning person and poui a pail of water through a hole in the head of a barrel, all are wonderfully amazed except your brother, who will be madder than a butter.

And thinking to obtain some fun from the author of "these "inscriptions; "whom he justly concluded to bs au- odd fellow, -liA'vui1l4ri t hia hat and thrustinff his
he&d through a paper pane, called out, 41 Is Jemmy Wright at home?" The barber immediately thrust his head .through another pane and replied, "No sir, he has just popped out," Foote laughed heartily, and gave the man a guinea. The JKpiroof ic Han again made its apneuranco in vnrloiia parts ui the country.

The farmer :.v that, tor man .and heast. lhey fuul uoUiinx i( o.pial u. 'William Hogarth.. The celebrated painter Hogarth was
oue; eiuplovedto paint tha -portrait of o nobleman not reninrliidtle for personal benif v. The artist executed if with his happiest manner, but with rigid tidciity. The peer, disgusted ut the exact counterpart of himself did not feel disposed to pay for the picture. After some time had elapsed and numerous unsuccessful attempts had bean made to obtain paymen t-the painter sent him the folluwiun card: Mr. Hogarth's respects to Lord . Finding" that he dots not menu to have the picture drawn for 'him Lord is informed" again of-lvlr.. Hogarth' press iug neeessity ftr money. If therefore, his Lordship does not scud for it in thivt days it will be disposed of with the addition of a tail, and some other appendages, to Sir. I'au, thtit famous wild beast man. Mr. Hugei-tH havirg giveu the gentleuian a conditional promise of it for an exhibition picture on his Lordship's refusal." The intimation had the desired effect: Hogarth vas onco :iplied to by a certain" nobleman to paint on his staircase a representation of 't fie destruction of Pharooh'a host in the lied Sea. In attempting to lix upon the price Hogarth became db:guKted with the miserly conduct of his patron, who was unwilliug1 to give more than hulf "ihe real value of the pictun. At hit, oui of oil Kitience, he agreed to Ids forms: The nobleman soon was told that the work was rinihed. Surprised at such epedUion, he immediately called to e-Xiiiuine it, and found the pp:u'o painted all over red. 'Zounds!" said the purchaser, wha': have vou here? I ordered a scene o.f the lied Sea." "The !'; d Sea you have," said the painter. "But where are the Israelites?" "They have all gone ovi.u'.1' 'And where are the K-ryptiaiJsV". They are ull drowned.

Thanks to the general use of steam in traveling, it is comfoi ting to reflect that in spite of tiie very great annoyance and inconvenience caused by the horse diseases in recent years, particularly by tin: epizootic " which prevailed ia the year 1872, the inconveniences to which people h'.-q subjected nowadays hi the lack of horses are really much less grave than those which our ancestors had to contend wit'i, in similar eirmnstances. For our forefather, 1h prevalence "of a bevere epizootic meant fha cessation of all traveling &J:d trata?ji..riation . whether for long o' for fahoi t distances; excepting, of course, such service as may be done by oxen aud by men on foot. Some idea of the gravity of the situation is suggested by the following ex tracts ;fiun an old Birmingham newspaper : On February 4, 1.760,' notice was published that 41 the horses belonging lo the Birmingham stage coach' are no much affected by the present is cm per that prevails among them, that its journie.s ar obliged to be discontinued until tbe.ii recovery' And in the week following Another notice appears under that of February 11, 1750, "Hie horses belonging to the Birmingham Rtage coach art still so bad that it would be dangerous U attempt their going with the coach this week: but on Monday next,-the 18il, Mr. Peyton proposes thatthecoach shall set out to go from hence as usual ; after which he hopes it will meet with no other interrn?tion.'"
