DOMESTIC GREETING. Ab homeward cornea the married man He’s met by wife at door, With fond embrace and loving kiss, And— ■“ Baby's throat is sone! “ And did you think to stop at Brown’s And get that marabout I ordered yesterday? And. dear, Fred's boots are all worn out! • I’m glad you are bo early, John, So much I miss you, dear I've had a letter from mamma; Bhe’s coming to live here. “ How very glad you look, dear John; I knew that you would be The flour's out the butter, and You must send home some tea. “ That plumber has been here again— If you don't pw he'll sue; And Mr. Prendergast called in To eay your rent was due. “Fred's trousers are all cotton.

THE MORTGAGED FARM.

“Six o’clock!” said Marion Hilyard, looking up suddenly, as the tall, oldfashioned clock in the corner rang out its shrill announcement; “six o’clock, and oh! mother, here is Jemmy Lane, punctual to the very moment. Now we shall have good news from Jack, I hope.” She ran out to the gate, flushed and eager, to receive the letter from the country carrier; and, returning, seated herself on a low stool at her mother’s feet, and broke the envelope. On the first glance at its contents, a shade of disappointment dimmed her bright face. Instead of reading the note aloud, she glanced hurriedly over the brief lines, and then silently, with quivering lip, placed it in her mother’s hand and turned aside to a window. This is what Mrs. Hilyard read: Deab- Madam : I saw your son a few days since, when, to my surprise, be expressed himself reluctant to apply nis money to the redeeming of the mortgage, saying that he required it for a speculation which promises to be more profitable to him than the holding of the farm, i have, therefore, been compelled to dispose of the mortgage to a gentleman of my acquaintance, who proposes to take immediate possession, and consider it my duty to inform you thereof, in order that you may lose no time in making arrangements for removal. Very Respectfully, Abneb Habbis. Mrs. Hilyard returned the letter to its envelope with a trembling hand and a dazed, bewildered look, as though unable to realize the blow which had so suddenly fallen upon them. Her eyes met Marion’s, and the girl threw herself upon her knees by her mother’s side, and burst into a passion of tears. “Oh, mother, mother! what shall we do?' What will become of us?” “ ‘ The Lord will provide,’ ” said Mrs. Hilyard, raising her overflowing eyes to the motto on the wall, embroidered by Marion’s own hand. “ Where is your faith, my child, that it should fail you in this the very hour of need ? ” “ Mother, it is not so much the loss of our home, nor the poverty and trial in store which grieves me, but that Jack—your own son, my own brother should have so changed. Oh, mother, I know that our Father in Heaven will not desert us, but to whom on earth can we turn when even Jack can become worldly and heartless? ”

At this moment a little blue-eyed girl burst into the room with: “ Mamma—Marion! here is Miss 'Melia Anderson at the gate, in her buggy. She says will you step out a minute, for she wants to tell you about old Mr. Millard being sunstruck; and she daren't leave her horse without somebody to hold him.” Marion was in no condition to listen to Miss ’Melia—the greatest gossip in the neighborhood; so Mrs. Hilyard, drying her eyes, was in civility compelled to see the informal visitor. Marion, her head resting upon the win-dow-sill behind the screen of clinging roses, could have heard every word spoken; but, absorbed in her grief, she paid no attention until the name of Wat Hinton struck upon her ear. “It’s true, for certain; for Maria had it from his own sister, Aggie Hinton. Says Maria, in her wild way, ‘lf he comes back with all that money’—you know his Uncle Samuel left him most of his property last year—says Maria, ‘ if he comes back rich I mean to set my cap for him.’ On which Aggie answers, * Oh, you needn’t; for he’s to be married before long, and to a real nice, pretty girl.’ Of course Maria wanted to know all about it; but Aggie only laughed in her mysterious way, until Maria says, ‘ I believe you arc joking! ’ when Aggie replies, ‘lf Walter isn’t married before winter 111 make you a present of my new ear-rings which he has sent me.’ So you see it's a certain sure; and no doubt he’ll bring his bride to visit his family, and then> tell Marion, we may look out for a grand party. When the Hintons undertake to do "things they always do them handsomely.” Marion stayed to hear no more. Gliding out of a side door, she crossed the garden, passing little Myra, who was fondling a snow-white calf, her great Eet and treasure, and who called out to er to “see how fast Snowball was growng.” Poor little sister! It would be as hard upon her as upon her mother and herself to leave the dear old home, with all the scenes and objects endeared to them by the association of their lives. For in that ample, pleasant, old-fash-ioned farm-house Mrs. Hilyard had been born and married, and here her children also had first seen the light. Two years ago her husband—who had been too little practical to make a successful farmer—had died suddenly, leaving his affairs in a very embarrassed state, and the farm burdened with a very heavy mortgage. Then Jack, good son and brother that he was, had thought it best to go to the city, taking advantage of a situation offered him by a distant relative, until the mortgage should be paid. Only two weeks ago he had written cheerfully, saying that the matter would b 6 speedily settled to their satisfaction; and now, just as they were expecting to hear that their home was their own again, came this cruel letter. As Marion had said to her mother, not even the loss of their home went to her heart with so sharp a pang as did this evidence of the change in her only brother. That Jack should have grown so worldly and heartless as to consider his pecuniary advantage before the gratification of his mother’s comfort; that he should allow them to be actually turned out of the dear old house, and go to reside in the strange city, where they could never feel at home—oh, this wm the bitterest pang of all! • So Marion had thought upon first reading that letter; and, it was not until hearing Miss ’Melia’s words to her pother thst she awoke tq the pppsejous-

ness that fate could have even a greater sorrow than this in store for her. One year ago she had parted from her accepted lover, Wat Hinton, in mutual anger on both sides. Wat 'had become jealous, and had spoken sharply to her, and in a manner which she considered herself justified in resenting. Wat was too proud to apologize, and Marion too proud as well as too delicate to advances looking to a reconciliation, and so they had drifted apart, both miserable, until Wat had broken the last link by going to the West. She heard of him from time to time through his family, but no word or message to herself ever came. In all this while she had looked forward with a faint, yearning hope to the possibility of his some time returning, and of all being made up between them. But now this last hope was rudely stricken to the ground. Wat was going to be married. He had forgotten her, and was lost to her forever. “Oh, it is hard—so hard to bear!” thought Marion, as, with hands unconsciously tightly clasped, she passed slowly under the apple boughs of the old orchard. “Life is bitter. It has taken all from me. It can have no more to give. Only my dear, dear mother, and Myra! For their sakes I must be strong, and try to bear it all.” On the verge of the orchard, where the high bank sloped abruptly to the meadow, she came to a mass of tangled honeysuckle, fashioned into a rustic arbor. Wat had made it for her, and here, in fact, it was that they had last parted. Down in the meadow ran a little pathway, leading by a short cut to Wat’s home, a couple of miles away. How often she had sat here or an evening and watched for him! She could scarcely look back upon any object now before her eyes which was not connected with some association of Wat. There was the walnut tree which he and Jack used to climb, and there theclear, laughing brook in which he had taught her to steer the little boat which he had made for her, laden with grain, down to Jack’s famous water-mill, at the roots of that old willow. Further up was the real “grist and saw-mill,” which Jack had always been so desirous of owning, and which everybody said would be such a good investment for one who could manage it properly. And then Marion, seated on the bench in the rustic arbor, turned and looked long and yearningly at the old farmhouse peeping from the great beeches across the orchard. No other place on earth could ever be home to her. And her mother? Oh, it would be harder still for her, whose whole life of fifty years had been spent under that roof. A sudden sound aroused Marion—a sharp whistle as of some one calling to a dog, and she saw through tear-dimmed eyes the figure of a man hurrying along the pathway in the meadow. She drew back behind the screen of the honeysuckle. The path led past the arbor, but at the foot of the steep bank she would not be discovered in her retreat. So she thought; but a moment or two after there was a sound of footsteps ascending the bank, a rustle of the honeysuckle branches, and Marion saw standing in the entrance of the arbor the figure of a tall young man who looked almost as much startled as herself. For a moment they gazed at each other —Marion pale, and the stranger with a flush rising on his handsome face. Then he said, as he held out his hand, “Marion, don’t you know me?” She gave him her hand in silence. It was Wat. And suddenly with the sight of h’m came the full bitterness of her sorrow, in the consciousness that he was lost to her forever. She was nothing to him now, and he must be nothing to her. “I am glad to have so unexpectedly found you here in this dear old spot,” he said. “ I arrived at home only an hour ago, and could not rest until I had seen you.” She met his eyes,bent upon her with a strange earnestness, and her pale cheek faintly flushed, but she could not have spoken a word. “ Marion,” he said, suddenly, “ have you no welcome for me ? Is it possible that you cannot forgive me ? ” “ Forgive you? ” “ Yes; for all my absurd jealousy,and pride, and folly. I have never had a happy moment since I parted from you, Marion, and I have come back at last to beg your forgiveness, and to beg, too, for the love which I forfeited, but which I cannot live without.” “I do not understand you, Wat. I do not know why you should speak thus to me, when—when you are going to be married.” “ Who told you that of me, Marion ?” “It came from Agnes, your own sister.” He smiled.

“Aggie knows my wishes. It was she who encouraged me to come back. She thought you would forgive me. Will you,- Marion, darling?” She had averted her face to hide her tearful eyes, but he now took both her hands, and, as he drew her toward him, a great tide of unspeakable joy rushed over her, and she could onlv murmur faintly: “Oh, Wat!” When they were both calmer she told him of the heavy grief that had just fallen upon them. ’ They must leave their dear old home* which had passed into the hands of strangers “Of strangers, Marion? Do you call me a stranger?” h “You, Wat?” ' He looked surprised in his turn. “Did you not know it was I who have purchased the dear old farm. Did you not receive Jack’s letter?” “Oh, Walter, it cannot, cannot be true!” He took from a pocketbook a paper, which he opened and placed before her. It was the mortgage which ‘her father had given Mr. Abner Harris. “And the place is really yours now?” she said, looking up radiantly through sudden tears. “Not mine, but ours, darling.” She was too happy to speak a word in answer. 1 “ You see, dear,” Wat said, “ Jack and I talked it over the other day, and we agreed, as he was so anxious to purchase the mill and had not means sufficient for both, that I should take the farm, and leave him at liberty to invest in the mill property. It is the very best thing for Jack and for his mother, as I explained to her, if only she had received his letter. Jack is not fitted for a farmer, and could never have made much of the farm, as he certainly will do with the mill. He came up with me in order to attend to the matter. Forgive me that I neglected to inform you, but I left him behind in the maple-field, talking with Aggie.” Marion started up with a glad cry. Coming down the opposite declivity of the meadow was somebody, joyously waving his hand, and in two minutes she was sobbing in her brother’s arms—sobbing from a fullness of joy such as she had never in her life before known. They hastened to the house, all three eager to gladden the heart of the mother. Jack sprung up to the steps tovk uh K><> ojiAiio, winie wat lifted Myra, who had run to meet them in frantic delight. As Marion crossed the threshold, the old clock rang out a welcome chime. “ Seven o’clock! ” said the fdri, softly.

Her heart was full, and she turned away and went quietly up to her own room. As she passed the clock, she looked up at it with an expression almost of awe. “ What a lifetime of misery and happiness in one hour! ” she murmured.

BURDETTE AMONG THE FARMERS.

Mr. ThUtlepod’s Early Spring Experiences. Bob Burdette, of the Burlington Hawk-Eye, paints this pretty pasto-al picture: It is spring, and the annual warfare begins. Early in the morning the jocund farmer hies him to the field, and hunts around in the dead weeds and grass for the plow he left out there somewhere sometime last fall. When he finds it, he takes it to the shop to have it mended. When it is mended, he goes back into the field with it. Half way down the first furrow he lays, he runs the plow fairly into a big live oak root; the handles alternately break a rib on this side of him, and jab the breath out of him on the other, and the sturdy root, looking up out of the ground with a pleased smile of recognition, says cheerfully: “ Ah, Mr. Thistlepod, at it again, eh?” Fifty feet farther on he strikes a stone that doubles up the plow point like a piece of lead, and, while the amazed and breathless agriculturist leans, a limp heap of humanity, across the plow, the relic of the glacial period remarks, sleepily: “Ah ha; spring here already ? Glad you woke me up.” And then the granger sits down and patiently tries to tie on that plow point with a hickory withe, and while he pursues this fruitless task the friendly crow swoops down near enough to ask: “Goin’ to put this twenty in corn, this year, Mr. Thistlepod?” And, before he has time to answer the sable bird, a tiny grasshopper, wriggling out of a clod so full of eggs that they can’t bd counted, shouts briskly: “Here we are again, Mr. Thistlepod; dinner for 500,000,000,0000!” And then a slow-moving, but very positive, potato bug crawls out into the sunlight to see if the frost has faded his stripes, and says: “ The old-fashioned peachblow potatoes are the best for a sure crop, but the early rose should be planted for the first market.” Then several new kinds of bugs who haven’t made any record yet, climb over the fence, and come up to inquire about the staple crops of the neighborhood, and, before he can get through with them, Prof. Tice sends him a circular stating that there won’t be a drop of rain from the middle of May till the last of October. This almost stuns him, but he is beginning to feel a little resigned when a dispatch is received from the Department of Agriculture at Washington, saying that all indications point to a summer of unprecedented, almost incessant and long continued rains and floods, and advising him to plant no root crops at all. While he is trying to find words to express his emotion, a neighbor drops in to tell him that all the peach trees in the country are winter-killed, and that the hog cholera is raging fiercely in the northern part of the township. Then his wife comes out to tell him the dog has fallen into the well, and when the poor man gets to the door-yard his children with much shouting and excitement meet him and tell him there are a couple of cats, of the pole denomination, in the spring-house, and another under the barn. With tears and groans he returns to the field, but by that time it has begun to snow so hard he can’t see the horses when he stands at the plow. He is discouraged and starts for the house with his team, wiien he meets a man who bounces him for using a three-horse clevis he made himself, and wrings ten reluctant dollars out of him for it. When he reaches the house the drive-well man is waiting for him, and while he is settling with him a clock-peddler comes in, and a lightning-rod man, screened by the storm, climbs up on the $lO smokehouse and fastens $65 worth of light-ning-rods on it, and before the poor farmer can get his gun half loaded the bailiff comes in to tell him that he has been drawn on the jury. •

The Folly of Virtue.

A very good and pious-looking young man applied for a position in a wellknown store last week. After he had introduced himself and made known his wants, the proprietor informed him that he would like to have a clerk if he could get one that would suit him. “I suppose you go to church, eh?” he commenced. “ Yes, sir.” “Do you drink?” continued the merchant, eyeing him sharply. “Never!” “Do you use tobacco in any form?” Here the young man pushed the quid into the roof of his mouth, and replied, with a smile that was childlike and bland, “I never use the weed, and never did. I consider it the lowest and most shocking habit that a man can be addicted to.” “Do you frequent the policy shops?” “No, sir; never.” “Do you go to the National Theater, dog fights, or boxing exhibitions?” “Never was at any in my life,” was the emphatic answer. “Can you tell the ace of diamonds from the king of clubs ?” . “I know nothing whatever of cards.” “Do you ever bet?” “No, sir, I don’t!” “ Suppose,” said the merchant, “a man should offer to bet SI,OOO to $lO that a three-legged goat could outrun a greyhound, would you take him?” “No, sir!” “Then you won’t do for this establishment ; we don’t want you—we never hire fools!” That youth won’t be so good next time.

Just Before Dawn.

“Ah! Heaven does indeed temper the wind to the shorn lamb,” pathetically said old Mrs. Diffendorfer the other evening at a tea fight, after putting away her twenty-eighth cup of Young Hyson. “ Why, what do you mean ? ” “You know that young widow, Mrs. Biffen, who lives across the street from us? Well, she has had nothing butsoriow, trouble and distress for the past five years.. First her father was killed by a burglar; then her mother married a nigger-minstrel; after that she had the yellow fever and small-pox together; and next her husband failed, and she had to take in washing. It was perfectly dreadful. The poor woman nearly went crazy. She was just beginning to bear up a little again, when her brother was sent up to the penitentiary for life; and, finally, last month her husband died in a fit, and the very next day her baby choked to death on a gum-drop.” “Gracious! the poor thing! ” “Wasn’t it just terrible? Everybody believed she’d commit suicide then; and she would have done so, too, but last week somebody providentially coaxed her to go to a church-raffle —and what do you all suppose happened? ” “What, for heaven’s sake, what? ” “Why, she won a seal-skin sacque! ” “You don’t mean it? ” “She did, though—perfectly splendid—came within an inch of the floor. The darkest hour is just before dawn—after all, Now, jsn’t itt ”-=~San Francisco Post.

FARM NOTES.

About half the weight of bones is mineral matter—lime combined with phosphoric acid, forming phosphate of lime, a substance which abounds in the ash of grain h and of wood, and is no doubt the reason why a portion of wood ashes is beneficial for swine. Des Moines Register. A solution of an ounce of gum aloes, powdered, and a large table-spoonful of common soda, to each half-gallon cf boiling water, is said to be useful in ridding young cabbage and other plants of insects, sprinkled from a can with a very fine roee, or, in the case of but few plants, from a rubber spraying bag. Quit brooding over your troubles, misfortunes and losses. A brave man, with a soul in him worth anything, gets out of such pitiful ruts ana laughs at discouragements—rolls up his sleeves, whistles and sings, and makes the best of life. This earth is not paradise—you are only on the road there, if you take the right direction.— lowa State Register. Poultry will pick up lime, etc., in order to form the shells of their eggs; they will eat feathers to obtain a supply of albumen to furnish plumage, and gravel to assist in grinding their food. When we shut up animals in their pens or stalls, we ought to furnish them with the substances which their instinct points out as necessary to their health and vigor. , The Journal of Forestry gives the Tollowing description of a pear tree still productive near the village of Eardiston, England, with no evidence of decay : Height, 56 feet; girth of stem at ground level, 14 feet; girth at 5 feet up, 12 feet; height of stem to first large branch, 11 feet; diameter of spread of branches, 62 feet, giving a circumference of head of branches of about 182 feet.

A correspondent of an exchange has tried soaking seed corn in a solution of chloride of lime with satisfactory results. He says of it: “By soaking seed corn seven hours in a very strong decoction of chloride of lime, com can be forced ahead to maturity two or three weeks sooner than it will mature otherwise; besides he thinks it renders the seeds almost proof against the depredations of gophers. The lime warms up the germ of the seed and sends it up quickly, giving it two or three weeks the start of corn planted in the ordinary way, thereby insuring against the frost at the close of the season.” A correspondent of Colman’s Rural World, writing from Mountain Home, Ark., gives the following remedy for black-leg in cattle: “I have cured several of my own, Ind also some of my neighbors’. I lost five or six head before I could find a remedy for them. I will not describe the disease, for all stock men know how it affects cattle. By keeping a close watch I can tell very near as soon as they are taken, and then I give them three or four teaspoonfuls of soda, from one-half to one pint of sweet milk and from one-half to one pint of molasses, all put into a bottle and drench them; also, bathe spine and leg with spirits of turpentine. Ido this when they are first taken. This remedy will cure if given in time; but will not if they have been sick for some four or five hours. About three drenchings and one bathing of spine and legs will be enough for one day.” Very many farmers, and many otherwise good dairymen, seem to think that they may save money by turning their cows upon the pastures on the first appearance of grass, and that thereafter all the feed given at home is thrown away. There is nothing more fallacious. If you have plenty of pasture, and it will not poach under foot, give the stock a chance at it by all means, but do not fail to give the usual feed night and morning so long as they will eat. The young grass will tend to clear the system of humor, and act as an alternate to other food given. It will also quickly improve the color and flavor of butter. If pasture is not plenty, it is far better to keep them in the yaras until the grass grows to a fair bite. It is the worst possible policy to try and save hay and grain in the spring between fodder and grass. Such stock will show this false economy all through the season.— Prairie Farmer.

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY.

Painted Pails.—Avoid using pails that have been painted on the inside; they are dangerous. Water that has stood in such a vessel for a few hours is capable of poisoning all who partake of it. Bird Cages.—lt is not safe to keep birds in painted wire cages, especially in warm weather. The paint softens in the heated atmosphere, and the birds are apt to nibble it, and to become poisoned thereby. Unpainted brass cages are the best for keeping birds. House Plants.—Mix a few tablespoonfuls of charcoal with the earth in your flower-pots, and you will be surprised at the invigorating effect upon the choice and delicate plants. The color of the flowers is greatly increased in richness by the use of charcoal. To Prevent Rust.— To . preserve bright grates or fire-irons from rust, make a strong paste of fresh lime and water, and, with a fine brush, smear itas thickly as possible over all the polished surface requiring preservation. By this simple means all the grates and fire-irons in an empty house may be kept for months free from harm without further care or attention. Sunny Rooms.—Light is one of the most active agencies in enlivening and beautifying home. We all know the value of sunlight as a health-giving agent to the physical constitution, and it is not less so to our moral and spiritual nature. Take the airiest, choicest and sunniest room in the house for the living room. Dark rooms bring depression of spirits and chill the energies, but a light room is good cheer. Personal Cleanliness.—We may as certainly gauge the mortality of a country by the condition of the women and children, by the beauty or disorder of the homes, and the respect or disdain for personal cleanliness and adornment, as we may learn by the existence of railroads, or the frequency of telegraphs, where a country stands in relation to advanced civilization. Suggestions About Sewing.—Here are a few that may be useful to young seamstresses: Should you have a rent in a dress to repair use ravelings of the same material; they are easily to be obtained from the top of the skirt, if you have no pieces; but genfenilly some are left by the dressmaker, and should be kept for such accidents. In making a shirt, the sleeves should be put in before the collar is put on. The space into which the sleeves is gathered at the arm hole should be exactly the same as the length of. the waist-band round. The length of the shoulder is sometimes one-eighth yard and sometimes one-eighth and a nail, as may best fit the wearer. Your pattern will guide you to this, as also with regard to your shirtfronlj. Button holes require great skill in making. Bars of thread should be first formed around the hole and neatly overcast, just the depth Of the edge. They should be neatly overcast about three or four threads deep, broad work in them looking very coarse, and clumsy. In working button holes, take care to throw the thread forward before catching up the loop on the needle. Gather

-with strong thread, waxed with white -wax. If you can make a shirt well, you can easily manufacture all female undergarments; you will require only patterns for cutting out. Longcloth and linen should be scalded before you work on them, in order to render them soft enough for the needle to pass through easily; but should you be unable, from haste or other circumstances, to have this done, take a cake of soap, and rub it on the part you are going to sew or hem; you will find your needle will then slip along with the greatest ease, and will run no risk of breaking it Young ladies who have the care of their own linen, and perhaps have their own allowance for dress, should take a few hours on a fixed day, weekly, to look over their clothes and do any small repairs that may be wanted. They will find the truth of this wise old adage, “A stitch in time saves nine,” and will make their linen last as long again as it would otherwise do. In washing new embroidery, after it is cut out, pour boiling water upon it, let it stand from twenty minutes to half an hour, rub lightly with the hands, dry, and press on the wrong side. This takes out the stiffening so that the machine doep not cut it. To remove grease which has come off the sewing-machine from new fabrics, before washing them rub the spots thoroughly with hard soap, dip in cold water and rub again. If not removed, apply more soap and repeat the opera-, tion.

COMMUNITIES AND COLONIES.

Scattered through thirteen Btates, branches of eight main bodies, are sev-enty-two communities, whose central idea is that of holding all things in common. They number some 5,000 persons, owning, perhaps, 180,000 acres of land and $12,000,000 of property. The Icarians are French; the Shakers and Perfectionists are Americans, although the former were organized by an Englishwoman; the remainder are German. The Eben-Ezers of Aurora call themthemselves “Inspirationists,” their present leader—a woman—claiming to speak by divine inspiration, and this claim runs back over a century with them in Germany, before they became communal. The Separatists came from Wurtemberg, under stress of persecution on account of their religious views. The Shakers, who are the oldest and most numerous of all the groups, were organized by an Englishwoman named Ann Lee, who, while in prison for her religious manifestations in 1770, claimed to have had a special revelation from God, and was directed to come to America. She arrived in New York, with eight others, in 1774, and lived in the woods until 1780, when some unusually affected subjects of a revival in the neighborhood happened to wander to her. Her professions of supernatmal, and even miraculous, powers were kept up, and she is still called “Mother Ann ” by the Shakers, and venerated by them as a sort of patron saint. The Shakers and the Bappists or Harmonists are celibates, and it is an extraordinary fact that the latter, after several years of communal life, and while many of them were living in the marriage relation, deliberately abandoned it, a few who were unwilling to do so withdrawing. The Perfectionists at Oneida, in New York, and Wallingford, Ct., have what they call a complex marriage state, every woman being considered as married to every man. They say that there is “no intrinsic difference between property in person and property in things,” hence their communion extends to themselves as well as to what they have acquired, and the relationship between thesexes is as free as consent can make it, except that any disposition to a permanent association between the same two persons is repressed as being a manifestation of “selfishness.” The Communists unite provision for the wants of this life with peculiar religious notions which might be called fanatical but that they are entirely free from a spirit of intolerance. Some are Spiritualists in the ordinary sense of that word; some look very soon for the second coming of Christ and the end of all things, while others believe the second coming already past; they believe in a special nearness of God to themselves ; they have their own hymns, literature and observance, and seem to be moved by a desire to separate themselves from the world. The Perfectionists profess to aim at complete sinlessness, and some individuals among them even claim to have attained it. All the Communists are good citizens. They break no laws; they add nothing to the public charge on account of pauperism and vice; they are all non-combatants, and do not even attempt among themselves anything beyond moral suasion, but allow those to withdraw who become insubordinate. They have neither defalcations nor breaches of trust, and their honesty in all commercial dealings is as proverbial as their shrewdness. The morality of their life is unimpeachable. This must be admitted of even the Oneida body, with the exception of their peculiar institution, which is worse than the Mormon practice in its demoralizing influence, and justifies the present agitation against them in the central part of that State. » The Oneida people are manufacturers mainly, agriculturists incidentally; the rest are agriculturists mainly. All harve shown an extraordinary aptitude for invention and for economizing labor. The Shakers, who are particularly wellknown by reason of their numbers and their many colonies, have a large variety of trades, and the work of all communistic societies has an established reputation for both uniform excellence of quality and honesty of quantity. The Icarians, in lowa, were led by a Frenchman, who spent sixteen years in trying to realize a pretty dream of what he could do in founding a society if he had half a million of money; so his followers began with 4,000 acres of land and $20,000 of debt. To escape from the latter they finally surrendered the former, and, after hard work and bitter economy, were able to redeem 1,936 acres of it; they are now independent but reduced in numbers. The Bishop Hill colony, in Illinois, once having 800 members and some SBOO,OOO of property, was broken up by inefficient leadership and the trouble of debt, and their town is falling into decay. But the societies generally have rigidly adhered to the rule of having no debts and getting property only as they earn it. None of the communes are rich in the ordinary sense of. the word, and they do not try to be.

Luck.

James Peacock, a law student in Paterson, N. J., married a servant-girl named Margaret Donnelly, a year ago, and persuaded her to keep the matter secret, as it would interfere with his studies and displease his parents if it were known. The clandestine affair came to light this afternoon, when the young wife, fearing he meant to desert her, had him arrested. Peacock said he was anxious to acknowledge his wife before the world, and was only prevented from going to housekeeping immediately by his poverty. It happened cunously enough that just then a telegram was brought into the. court-room for Peacock announcing that a lottery ticket which he held had drawn $15,000. The couple left the room with blooming faces.— New York Sun.

•As Siam.* Gen. Grant quietly asked the King of Siam if he would resign and accept a position in his next Cabinet. The King rolled his eyes round toward the General in an incredulous manner, and, changing his “Jackson’s Best" to the other side of his mouth, said,l guess I am well enough as Siam.”— Lewiston Gazette. Mbs. Willis, an aged lady of Cumberland county, Ky., died recently and left SI,OOO to the editor of the Glasgow (Ky.) Times, in token of the comfort she had found in reading his paper in her sorrow. Every Western editor will now begin to print columns of comfort for aged and rich women. Fbom a report lately issued by the municipality of Leipsic we learn that it has 246 printing offices, 294 book stores and 163 binderies. There has been a great increase in business since 1865. In 1877 the books published were valued at $7,000,000. Leipsic also does a vast business in faro.

Wrenched and Racked

by the pangs of rheumatism, the joints eventually become grievously distorted, and sometimes assume an almost-grotesque de'ormity. To prevent such results by a simple and agreeable means is certainly the part of wisdom A tendency to rheumatic ailments may be successfully combatted with Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, a medicine with the prestige of a long and successful career, of unbounded popularity, and of emphatic professional indorsement It removes from the blood those inflammatory impurities which pathologists assign as the cause of rheumatism, and not only purifies the life current, but enriches it, promoting vigor by fertilizing its source. Digeffipn, the action of the bowels and the secretion W the bile, are aided by it, and it impels the kidneys and bladder to a regular and active performance of their functions. It is besides a thoroughlyreliable remedy for, and means of preventing, periodic fevers.

A Word to the Corpulent. Instead of regarding obesity as an abnormal condition, many people have erroneously considered it as an evidence of health, and any agent that reduces fat is therefore at once suspected of being injurious. Starting to reason from the false position that fat is an evidence of health, it is not surprising that they should, very naturally, fall into the error of supposing that an agent possessing properties capable of reducing corpulency would prove injurious to the health Reasoning, however, from the rational basts, that an undue deposition of fat, constituting obesity, is not a healthy but amorbid condition, it is quite as natural for us to arrive at the opposite conclusion, which is sustained by experience and observation, l e., that the reduction of fat in cases of corpulency is invariably followed by an improvement in strength, spirits and physical comforts. Allan’s Anti-Fat will reduce a fat person from two to five pounds a week. Sold by druggists. It is astonishing with what rapidity ulcerous sores and eruptive maladies are cured by Henby’s Carbolic Salve, an external antidote to unhealthy conditions of the skin which is preferred by physicians to every other preparation containing the carbolic element It is undoubtedly the finest antiseptic and purifier extant. It acts like a charm on purulent eruptiops and-has also been successfully used for rheumatism and sore throat AU Druggists sell it Prices of the Mason & Hamlin Organs are somewhat more than those of the poorest organs made; but they are not mu’h more, while the quality is vastly, superior. This has been so thoroughly proved by the results at all gre it world s expositions for many years that it is no longer a question. At the prices, they are the cheapest organs offered. Coughs and Celds are often overlooked. A continuance for any length of time causes irritation of the Lungs or some chronic Throat Disease. “Uroum's Bronchial Troches” are an effectual Cough Remedy. 25 cte.
