When Jack once made np . Lis mind to do a thing he did it with all ins might. The matter was soon settled. Cherrp Hill, as we called the farm, was sold at a great sacrifice, and one sunny morning we turned our backs upon the breezy down and golden grain-fields and Journeyed cityward. "I'm afraid you've made a great mistake." said Jack's father, as he bade us good-bye, "you'd better have stuck to toe farm.

hmidstr-tff airthe flare and flutter of

preparation I was conscious .of a vague feeling of regret whenever I recalled', the quiet moments of my early wifehood ' I spent at Cherry Hill. Jack had seemed to take as mnoh pleasure in life's frivolities as I did. With a foolish ineonsistescy of my sex, I sat down and cried over the consummation of the very hopes which I had cherished so long. Bat -despite my fears, the reception came on, and it turned ont to be a great success. The best people in town honored ns with .their presence, and everything, thanks to Mrs. Yanborough's foresight, was carried on in the 'most lavish and elegant manner. "By George," said Jack, "this sort of thing is jollier than the old farm. I see now, little wife, that yon are right." I would ten times rather he should have upbraided and blamed me for what I had done. The winter that followed was exceedingly gay. We are invited everywhere, and our house was constantly filled with guests, balls, soirees, kettledrums and the .opera seemed to embrace every hour. Jack and I seldom had a quiet moment together, yet he seemed to enjoy it with his whole -hearC " When spring came out last surplus dollar had been expended and wo dependent on Jack's monthly salary. 7 JBijf warm weather soon came on and bdrr scm feg ill. t-'I hoped dav by day

'that Jack would' say something abont

going back to his father s for the Bummer, but he didn't even bint at, such a filing. The days grew longer and warmer. The sun shone "down with pitiless splendor and the' paved streets seemed like heated brass Our fashionable friends fluttered off like summer swallows and we were left almost alone. "Couldn't you manage to make a little trip to the seashore,my Hear?" Miss, Yaborongh. had suggested, and Jac caught at' the idea with eagerness. "We might, Nell ; I think wean. Til try and borrow a few hundred somewhere." "Oh, Jack, no, no!" I sobbed out in my remorse and despair. "I won't go to the seashore. You see how ill baby is. Oh, Jack, ask your father to let ns" return home." Oh, you wouldn't be satisfied, Nell, if we went back. It's a dreadful stupid down there these days with the haymaking and reaping, and all that sort of thing, we would nevor be able to endure it there now." I said no more. The long, bright, burning days wore on, and our bills ran np higher, and baby's littlo breath seemed to grow weaker and weaker, and poor Jack himself seemed to look dreadful HI and worn. And one afternoon he was sent home in a carriage, quite uncoiiscion8. stricken down by a sudden fever. I put my pride aside then, and wrote a letter to Jack's "Jack and the baby ore both 'ill," I said, "and we aro sick and tired of life. Pray forgive ns and Let us. come hom." The next day the dear old gentleman arrived, bnt the Sheriff was before him, Jack having oonfefised judgment in a lawsuit. The rumor that we hud intended to leave town 'got out, and ourcreditors rushed in anxious to secure the lion's share of our effects. The bruasels carpets, the handsome furnfr tare and tile-costly bric-s-broo all went under the hammer at disastrously low figures. "Never mind," said my father-in-law, not a shadow of reproach on his kind old face, "let them squabble over it if they will. We must get the siek ones home." So we got Jack into the carriage, and,

He further says, "That they are not ' the' result of important structural change is evident from the fact that they vary from one , time to another and in different circumstances, being seen, for instance, more numerously and distinctly after congestion from fatiguing use of the eyes, or when looking at a light surface, such as the ceiling, a cloudy sky, the pages of a book, or the snowc-oveied ground." .. .. .1 ? a ,m u 'Win ii . , ., Planing.

If he fulfill all of them he will be so fine a creature that the name can do him no good, and if his right to it is questioned it will not

Appearance is largely a matter of attire, which is to be bought for money,; but it depends, too, upon taste, which is much more difficult to purchase, and upon natural gifts, which cannot be bought. Good manners are either a disguise or they are the outward evidence of a good disposition. They mav be acquired but it is not easy to buy them, though their absence is readily pardoned in persons who are very rich, very "good, intelligent or eminently; powerful from any cause. A man who lias the feelings of a gentleman is usually born with them. To him they are instincts by which he will regulate his behavjor in circumstances where neither Ms experience nor his' reason can' guide him. But ihey may be acquired most readily byWociatiug with persons who already possens tllem.

Her physician had recommended a moderate use of stimulants to supply that energy which was deficient in her system, and brandy had been suggested in a prescribed quantity to be mixed with her tea.

After reading the challenge, Mr. Johnson immediately re-entered the church and asked tho congregation "to unite with him in prayer for the speedy conversion and salvation of Alexandor H.

An Attlflclal and Cuinberooma Establishment Stun din - Upon Ily-Oone Age. The different Nonconformist churohes, the Salvation Army and other religious movements are having a great influence in England. Tbe signs of the times indicate that the day is not distant when church and state will be disassociated in that country. The London Mail Hounds the following warning to tlie Church of England: "There is no church t there ii no government, there is no institution in the world that so little adapts its means to its ends, its resources to work, its men to its positions, as the Church of England. The fact is proved, the want supplied and the evil mitigated by the surrounding atmosphere of nonconformity, everywhere pressing in to fill tho void. Always and everywhere there are to be found those -who will reap a harvest of souls wherever it may offer itself. The kingdom of grace has a spontaneous development, wbiehveve supplies the shortcomings of - human government and ailministration. No Bishop, however exalted, no theologian, however narrow on however Quixotic, can deny, even upon his own theories, a divine origin and order to the self-denying seal of the men who do their best, by the simplest means at hand, to raise the surrounding tone of morality and religion,' to rebuke vibe and to encourage the virtues that all alike recognize, even if . they practice them not. The good work to be done is as plain and universal as the sun-in the heavens. The school and the field of true faith is all the world, and knows no demarkations or prohibitions. An artificial and cumbersome establishment, standing, upon by-gone nges, and inheriting innumerable anomalies, hindrances and scandals, may be too sacred a thing to , be rudely handled. But it cannot .'cover the ground nor reap the harvest. Partindeed, the greater part must be left to those who, if less privileged, are less trammeled, 'and who have the power, not of authority, but of freedom. - .In such a case there must be some jarring, some antagonism. How shall it be cured? How shall the established church acquire for itself that full liberty of action which it sees continually employed ngainst it? It must condescend to gather all the lessons it can from the organizations and tactics of those whom it only too naturally regards as its rivals, if not foes. How do they get possession of tlie ground? How do they ad vance everywhere, and hold the gwrand they wiu ? They do it by the use of common sense. That is what' tho Church of England will have 1o submit to. The ministry that is, the entire system of employment in the service of the Church of England, will have to bo adapted to the work everywhere to be -done, unless the church is to find itself one day the shadow of a great ntiino. Visiting the President, Those who are merely visiters and sight-seers are first shown through those rooms of the White House which

are opon to publio inspectioh." Theyl

are then requested to collect 'in one room, at a stated moment stream upstairs, and, passing through the library, shake hands with the President He thus ex sends a courtesy in a few minutes, wliioh, trader every other arrangement, would keep his morning business hour constantly interrupted. This formality gone through with, he turns te those whoso calls have a purpose. Jt is the etiquette for gentlemen to remain standing. A purely-personal introduction is followed by an invitation tq sit1 and wait an opportunity which seldom comes, and one after another those in waiting are greeted with a cordiil shake of the hand, and their mission met with "no" or "yes," or a definite engagement for another hour or day. "No" is said firmly, but quietly almost to gentleness and respect "Yes," which can but seldom be said, admits of a briefer putting. A card is brought in and the President says, loud enough for all to hear, "No; I have an important appointment at 1 o'clock, and those present will take np every minute left" ' The Secretary of State enters, "'Goodmorning, Mr. Secretary." "Goodmorning, Mr. President." A ladyone or two have been sitting awaiting their tarn detains the President, as a woman does a doctor, longer than would three men, for it is harder for the President to say "No;" harder for her to realize that his polite words mean 'JNo." ; Then the Secretary of State, the- object of whose visit, it now appears, ia to aid the President's superb tact approaches and says: "Those gentlemen are wiuting below. Will you go now?" "I have three minutes yet," replies Mr. Arthur, glancing at the clock, and those who remain take the hint and are as brief as possible, as he turns to them. Such' is a daily scene. Washington Letter. The Red Man's Eloquence. The writer, some years ago, in the Northwest heard a young Indian chief make a speech before a Government commission and army officers which fairly deserved to be classed anion;? eloquent speeches. He was a splendidly formed Indian, with largo, muscular limbs, an unusually fine head and expressive eye. He was dressed in all the paraphernalia of savage taste. He was painted with rich, bright colors, laid on without stint, and when he rose to speak he looked, in purposeful energy, like an atlilete about to enter upon a hard contest in the stadium, with his veins standing out like covets and his lips oompressed. He pleaded again st the removal of his tribe to some other reservation, and his heart was in his words. He was in earnest. Bie meac.t everything ho said, and there

man, lite Indian's eloquence was all fie more effective because it was spontaneous. Ilis eloquence and his rhetoric, impassioned both.were forest borit. It was oratory in voice aud gesture, not garrulity like that which obtains too of tea at Washington. New Orleans Tinies-JDemocrat,

for, and the proof failed to show that the defendants . purchased before the date of settlement held, that the use by the defendants of such apparatus is an infringement. In reducing his patent to practical application, a patentee is not held to strictly and entirely follow the 'mere mechanical device shown in his drawings, but he may deviate so long as he does not violate the principle involved in his patent. In a case of infringement where the defendants used the combination that gave a peculiar value to the plaintiffs' patent, they are. chargeable with damages in respect to the entire patent. The measure of damages for infringement of a patent is the profits that the plaintiffs would have made on the sales of the patented article had they supplied the customers to whom the defendants sold such article. In estimating the amount of such profits, the cost of manufacture and sale should be deducted, and, on sales of a large amount, clerk's hire, storage freight eto- should be considered as part of such cost; but, when these expenses would make only a trifling difference, they need not be taken into account. Decisions of the courts operate upon all coses alike from the time they are rendered, while rules of practice should only be applied to cases filed after their adoption. Fads of Memory. . Sundry men, gifted with a tenacious Verbal memory, have performed wonderful feats. Learned Babbis hays been known to repeat the whole of the Hebrew Scriptures, word for word. A French Marquis made a hand-book of France from recollection, in which he described every chateau in the kingdom. Cardinal Mezzofanti, the wonder among mere linguists, could remember entire dictionaries and grammars. A Boman priest used to amuse his friends by an extraordinary feat of memory. Allowing them to designate any line of an Italian poet he would begin with it and recite 100 lines, backward or forward, according to the wish of his listeners. A Scottish clergyman, it is said, could repeat every word of the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament quoted in the writings of the Greek and Latin Fathers. His friends used to say that, if every copy of the Bible in the world was destroyed, he would be able to reproduce the entire Scriptures from bis memory. Prescott, the historian, tells an anecdote of how Macaulay was caught tripping, one day, in a line of '"Paradise Lost." In a few days he came back with the poem in his hand, saying, as he offered it to the gentleman who had caught him, "I do not think that you will eateh me in the Paradise again" and they did not. The late Dr. Addison Alexander, of Princeton Theological Seminary, had a wonderful memory. It was not only tenacious of words and facts, but as often as he willed it, would summon into his mind all of his past experiences aud knowledge .. For the amusement of the young folks, he would sometimes say, "Now I am going to talk without thinking." Then he would pour "out period after period of strange words and incongruous images, harmonious and even rhythmical in sound, but wholly destitute of sense. If any one thinks this an easy feat let him try to suspend his reason and give a free rein to his fancy in periods which shall be grammatically correct and yet destitute of meaning. It might made an exercise in the mere verbal use of words. Another of his surprising feats was to submit himself to examination and tell, off-hand, where he was and what he was doing on any day. of any year the examiner chose to name. He would submit himself to lie catechized abont the Kings and Queens of anoient and modern Europe, and tell the name of any sovereign, with the dates of his birth, coronation and death, and his chief exploits. Pensions of English Officiate. - Official life in England is very poorly rewarded, as compared with legal, both in salary and pension. An Ambassador of the first rank, such as the late Lord Stratford do Bedcliffe, or Lord Lyons, after a life of exile, fraught at times with intense labor and anxiety, can only receive $10,000 pension a year, while the highest consular pension is $6,500. Lord Hammond, after fifty years' servicejn the Foreign Office, retired on $ 10,000, and no civil-service official gets more. On the other hand, a Judge of the Supremo Court receives a pension of $17,500, and a Lord Chancellor, if in office a month only, a pension of $25,000, whereas other Cabinet Ministers can never command more than $10,000, must have served years before they are entitled to that, and are not expected to take it unless really in very moderate circumstances. A Chancellor, however, takes it entirely as a matter of course. The only nonlegal functionary splendidly provided for is the Speaker of the House of Commons, who receives a Viscounty and a pension of $20,000, which is continned to his successor in the peerage. The last, Speaker Denison, being rich and childless, refused a pension. One ex-Speaker (Shaw-Lefevre), aged 89, enjoys it now, but lias no son, and only one ex-Chancellor draws a pension, although at one time there were five of the latter taking their $25,000 a year. New York SunHints for Cooking Meats. In roasting meat have the pan hot when you put the meat in. If it is beef put it in the hot pan and let it stand a moment cni then turn it over, thus searing both sides and preventing the juices from running so quickly. Do not put tho salt and pepper on the meat, but put it in the pan with the water and then baste the meat every three or four minutes . You w ill find the meat will be thoroughly seasoned, and will be much more juicy and tender than by the old way of rubbing the salt on the meat; putting the salt directly on the meat draws the juice out and toughens it Boast fowls in tho same way; also fish; not. putting any butter or grease near them until almost done; then rub a little butter over them to give them a nice crisp outside.
