RESCUED FROM A POOL.

Who’s that? Well, I hardly know how to auswer you. Ido not know her natno. I only saw her once in my life, then only for a little time, and the chances are I shall never see her again. Stratige that a woman, a perfect stranger, should give me her photograph? It does sound strange. llow did I get it? Thereon hangs a tale. 1 will tell you it. Tt points a moral, and furnishes ire with a pleasant reminiscence of a toofleeting visit to the mountains. It was two years ago—the summer holidays. 1 had spent them with my wife's brother, George Nettlefold. We had put into execution a long-cherished scheme, and been up to the Adirondack. I shall not easily forget that 'time, nor how the days flew by, nor the sunny weather, nor the wild scenery which presented itself to us in all its glory. Wo were working South after a charming walking expedition, and were still in the wilder parts of that glorious country, when one morning as usual we packed up our knapsacks, and continued our southern route. Wo had dinner at a little roadside inn. it was not much of a repast, and, to tell the truth, neither particularly well served nor cheap; and, having dined, wc went off again, intending to make lor a village which wc were told was some considerable distance off. it was a broiling afternoon, and by the time wo had walked some miles we began to wish wc were near our journey’s end. We pissed one village, and there they told us the other village was a good step further on, for which information wo were not sufliciently grateful. We were half inclined to put up and stay w hero we were; but, being an obstinate couple, and desirous of seeing some falls which were in the immediate neighborhood of our destination, wo pressed on. The suu was setting as we reached the top of an ascent it had cost us some pains to climb. Sitting on th<j bank by the roadside, under the shadow of a mighty tree, we dofftd our hats, so that the gentle breeze might cool our heated brows, Ou u sudden we heard quite close to us loud cries and shouts, as of some one iu distress or danger. Wliat s that?” said I to George. “Sounds as though something was the matter with some one,” said he, getting up and looking over the hedge.’ i rose and joined him. “Why,” exclaimed George, “there’s a lad drowning in the pool.” So it seemed. The bank on the other side of the hedge sank in a sharp descent some thirty feet or more. A little to the loft was a stream or piece of water of some sort; generally it was quito narrow—narrower than this room ; you might have jumped across it—but in one place if widened out into a tiev lake or pond, tolerably deep, apparently ; for somewhere about’the center was a little boy, trying hard to keep himself afloat, and making a terrible hullabaloo. Without a word we got over the hedge and ran down the bank. Callin'* to the youngster to keep etili, I run into the water to help him. It might have been deep enough to drown him, but it barely came up to my shoulders; and when I had once hold of him it was easy enough to pull him out, and he was little damaged, for when I had got him out he stood bolt upright on the bank, looking at me with largo, round eyes. ’* You are not drowned !’’ I said, smiling at his solemn expression. He shook his head, gravely, without a word. Ho was a queer-looking child, quite a little one, scarcely more than 10 years old. So far I had kept my hand upon his collar, thinking he might lad down, or faint, or something; but relieved of any such fears, I took it away. No sooner did 1 do so than without a sign of any intention, he was off like a dart, up the bank, through the hedge and out of sight. George, laughing: there s gratitude for you.” Yca '” «aid I, a little nettled; “he might have said thank you.” “ 0r to,( l us how much farther we have to go,” growled George. “ I’ve got a ducking for my pains,” I continued, thinking somewhat ruefullv of my outer garments. “ That won’t matter,” quoth Georg-' unsympathetically; ‘ you’ll soon get dry.” c We climbed up the bank and continued our journey, talking and laughing over our wayside adventure. Somehow or other, I do not know how, we lost our way; now f&r we went, or where we

got to, I do not rightly know to this day. Matters were beginning to look serious—tho evening was closing in; we were in a wild country, hardly a house in sight; no village, or sign of one; we were fairly tired, and I began to consider what bad best be done. We were in rather an uncomfortable frame of mind when, turning a corner, we saw right in front of us, rising from a belt of treek, a column of smoke. The sight was like an oasis in the desert. We hurried to it and found, to our exceeding satisfaction, it was a charming country inn, shrined in a glorious sweet-smelling frame of honeysuckle. We entered together. The very sight of the bar was enough to do one good. The array of bottles tastefully arranged, the genial air of neatness and comfort which pervaded everything, tilled our wearied souls in anticipation with the sweets of rest. Behind the counter sat a female, looking quite a ia ly, about 35 or so, in widow’s cap and weeds. She rose at our entrance. “ We want two beds,” I said, coming to tho point at once. “We can offer you none,” she replied, civilly, but anything but warmly; “we are already overcrowded.” “No bed!” I said, staggering back, while George’s face fell an inch at least. “ But a sofa, or—” “ I am sorry,’’ interrupted she, speaking as I never heard an inn-keeper, whether mascu'ine or feminine, speak before; “ but we have no accommodation of any sort to give you.” “ Then where shall we find another inn ?” “Tho next inn is about”—she paused —“eight or nine miles farther on.” ‘She might as well have said eight or nine hundred. Out we staggered from that delicious liar into tho gathering night. There was a man, of some sort, standing in the bar; and, as we went out, I noticed him lean over and whisper to tho hostess. It was as though w r e had been lifted to celestial heights to be plunged into unknown darkness. What we were to do wo had not the faiutest notion. To walk eight or nine miles over such a country in our then state was a physical impossibility. It was all we could do to keep ourselves from sinking on the road. As wo went, wearily dragging our legs along, some one came running after us. It was a girl, apparently a servant-girl, young, pretty, and neatly dressed. She seemed in a great hurry. “ Please, sir,” she said, stopping us, “ I’ve brought a message.” I looked at her. “A message? From whom ?”

“From tho inn, sir. Mistress says you’re to come back at once.” “ Gome back at once!” I repeated it after her, astonished. These were odd proceedings. “ She sajs, sir, she will try to make you comfortable. And she wished me to say she is sorry, but she did not know you.” Know me! O f course not. How was she to, seeing she had never seen me before, nor I her ? The ignorance was mutual. “ Let’s go,” said George, cutting further conversation short. I remember as we followed that pretty maiden through the dim gloaming of what promised to be an unusually dark night of half wondering whether she were having a little game with us. But she was not, and in thinking so I wronged her. When we reached the inn the hostess bowed. “ I am sorry, sir,” she said, in a stately -way, “ to have sent you away, but I did not know you.” Did not know me. What did she mean by saying that she did not know rr.e? Of couise sho did not know me. How was she to? But I had no time for reflection. The servant showed us into au inner room, the neatest, coziest, prettiest little room, I do believe, I ever saw. George threw himself on the sofa, while I sat on a chair, my feet apart, my hands on my knees, staring into vacancy, feeling a little mystified. In a few minutes the servant returned. “Please, will you step this way, sir ?” said she to me. George ivas asleep on the sofa, and did not notice her entrance. I followed her up-stairs; we were evidently among the bedrooms. She stopped at the door, and, opening it, showed me in. It was a sleeping apartment, quite small, but so neat and clean and pretty, so unlike the usual thing you expect in hotels and inns, that I looked at the servant in amaze. There were a suit of clothes laid out ujiou the bed, black and seeming quite new, and a clean white shirt hanging on a chair, a collar, necktie and socks on the seat, and a pair of slippers on the floor. “Mistress,” said my guide, “wishes you to change your clothes, or else you will get cold.” This was a fresh surprise. She was really a considerate landlady. Landladies are not in the habit—or landlords either, unfortunately—of offering and providing entire changes of clothing to wet and wearied travelers. “What,” I inquired, “is your mistress’ name?” “Mrs. Mac”—something iu three syllables, but what I could not catch. She then withdrew.

Taking oft' my drenched suit, I first had a thorough good wash, and then put on the clothes provided. When I was dressed, I am inclined to think I looked like an undertaker’s man got up for a funeral. I went down-stairs again and found my Phillis waiting at the foot to guide me into the parlor, where I found George still sleeping. Without remorse I woke him up. “George,” I exclaimed, “this is a queer set out.” “What’s a queer set-out?” muttered he, - yawning prodigiously. “ This,” I said. “Look at me.” H.o rubbed his eyes and stared. “ Whose undertaker’s establishment have you been robbing?” lie queried. “Wherever did you get those things from ?" I told him. “Well,’ said he, “she’s a pleasant sort of landlady. She seems to have taken a fancy to you. 1 ' “Don’t taik nonsense,’ I retorted, thinking of Kate and my family of seven. “ I hope,” said he, “ among her other kindnesses, she won’t forget to let us have some supper.” The words wero hardly out of his mouth wheu there was a tap at the door, and in came Phillis, ‘ Please, sir,” said the admirable young person, “mistress says may I lay the table for supper?” “Give your mistress my compliments,” replied George, with assumed dignity—“xMr. Nettlefold’s eomplirneuts, and say ‘ with the greatest pleasure.’ ” She did not give her mistress his compliments, at least not then; but, without a word or a smiie, laid it there aud then, covering it with a snow-white table-cloth, and laving it with that charming air of liome-like comfort which prevaded everything. Tlow they managed to prepare such a supper in such a short space of time is more than I can say. Tuere were some delicious trout, cooked to perfection, ham and eggs done to a turn, followed l>y pan oak 03 done to a toss. We had good appetites, aud did wonderful justice to the faro. When we had finished we rang the bell, and in came Phillis, who, living learned nnr wishes, showed

us to our room. George and I shared one bed, amply large enough for both. In the morning we overslept ourselves; no wonder, in snch quarters and tired ont as we had been; but when we got down there was the breakfast waiting oar arrival! It was as good as the supper; more trout, omelet, fresh eggs, butter which melted in your month and fresh home-made scones. After breakfast we began to consider the cost of onr entertainment. Hitherto we had been economical, and had indulged in nothing so luxurious since we had been in those Northern regions. We rang the bell, and in came the landlady. We rose as she entered and bowed, which courtesy she gracefully returned. “Wo shall be much obliged,” I said, “if you will let us have our bill.” “Bill! ” she said, drawing herself upright. “Do you wish to insult me, sir ?” Insult her! “Insult you!” I said, visions of “She Stoops to Conquer,” and the mistake Young Marlow made, flitting across my mind. “But surely, this is an inn?” Half fearing we had made a mistake like Marlow’s. “Yes,” returned she, with something like wounded dignity; “ this is an inn, but not to you.” “Not to us!” I exclaimed, amazed; while George, I fancy, began to take her for a lunatic. “Do you think,” she burst out, “I would take money from the man who saved my child?” Saved her child! In an instant it flashed across me, the youngster floundering in the pool, and how the young rogue had run away. “Was—was that your son in the pool?” I asked her, beginning to understand her. “ Ay, it was Alec,” she said, “ my only son.” “But,” I asked, “how did you know it was I who?”— “Donald Macneil”—or some such name—“ told me. He was near by, and saw it all.” I remembered the man in the bar, and how he had whispered to her when we went out; he, I presumed, was Donald Macneil. Well, she would not take a farthing, and we could hardly press her. She, such a strange sort of woman, cold and proud as a lioman mother; no wonder her son was such a queer young fish. It appeared she had not only turned out of her own sittiog-room, but out of her own bedroom too, to make room for us. Where she slept, I have no idea. In the bar possibly, which, by-the-by, would not have been so bad after all. Before we went, we asked her for her photograph, which sue gave us, and there it is. It is not a bad likeness; but it hardly does her justice, it does not give you the proud set of her features; and iu a photograph you cannot get the full expression of her eyes. “ Is that all ? ” “ That’s all.” “ Where’s the moral?” “ The moral is, never neglect to do a good action when you can; you never know how soon you may be repaid.”

HOUSEHOLD HELPS.

Hamlets.— Two eggs, one and a half cup of sugar, one cup of raisius chpped line, two-thirds of a cup of butter, one teaspoon each of cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg, one teaspoon soda dissolved in two tabie-spoonfuls of sour milk. Mix stiff and cut out like cookies. Jackey Cakes.— Six table-ppoonfuls of white In ian meal, pinch of salt, half teacupful of milk; thoroughly scald with boiling water, add milk, aud drop from table-spoon into boiling-hot lard or drippings in frying-pan or spider; fry a dark brown on both sides. When done, open and insert a bit of butter, and then eat. Tapioca Pudding. Four tablespoons of taiiioca, soaked for several hours in a little water, oue quart of milk, four eggs (leaving out the whites of two for frosting), three table-spoons of sugar. Boil the milk aud turn over the tapioca; add, when it is blood warm, the sugar and eggs well beaten; bake about an hour, and after it has cooled a little add the whites of the eggs, well beaten with half a pound of sugar. Chloral Spray in Winter Cough. —Dr. Fletcher, of Washington, strongly recommends the employment of the spray of chloral in the treatment of the form of chronic bronchitis known as “winter cough,” which often offers so obstinate a resistance to remedies. A solution of ten grains of clilorai to the ounce of water may be inhaled through a steam atomizer morning and evening. Autumn Leaves. —l prepared autumn leaves in this way last year, and they were greatly admired by every one who saw them. I varnished them as soon as they were gathered, then spread them out in a cool room where they remained twenty-four hours, when they were packed in a box, and a thick piece of pasteboard placed on top to keep them from curling. They wore much more brilliant than any I ever saw. They did not adhere enough to do any harm. Oatmeal Pudding. —Take one pound best oatmeal, one quart of new milk warmed. Sdr the oatmeal into the milk, and let it. stand over night. Then butter a basin, put in the oatmsal and milk, stir in a spoonful of bakingpowder, and afterward tie over the basin a well-floured cloth, and boil for two hours. If ea'en as pudding proper, serve it up with custard sauce, current jeliy, or treacle. If it is to be eaten in place of meat—for good meat it hs—use tomato sauce. Apple Charlotte. —Butter a deep baking-bowl; line it with thin slices of wheaten bread whicli have been soaked iu sweet cream; fill the bowl to within one incli of the top with sliced apples in layeis, with beef marrow, sugar, and grated lemon or orange peel; cover the apples with thin slices of bread soaked in cream; cover the bowl closely with an ordinary earthenware pie-dish, in which placo water to prevent it cracking ; bake in a rather-brisk oven from one hour to one aud one-half hours, according to the size ot tho charlotte.

The Boy’s Discovery.

We have “the” smart boy in Centreville. To explain all, I must first tell you of his father. Like many gentlemen here he takes his cod-liver oil and whisky each morning. Of course such an opportunity of impressing temperance principles upon the youthful miud could not be lost. So each dose wont down with a shiver, terrible frown and exclamation, “Boo! I could stand the cod-liver oil, but this whisky”—another shiver—“is dreadful.” Our boy listened and stored it all up in his youthful mind. The other day he was cleaning out the .top shelf of a closet for his mother. “ Ma, what’s this?” .Mother looks and cautiously smells. “Oil! rancid cod-liver oil.” Soon another bottle is handed down, another and another; contents varying from a feaspooifful to half a cup, all “spoilt cod-liver oil.” At last the youngster raised his eyebrows and gravely remarked : Ma, it’s funny that pa let’s all this good cod-liver oil spoil, but never a drop of the whisky!” —Alameda lieporter. The Russian Mennonites, hitherto exempt from military service, will this year furnish a contingent to the army. Stop coughing at once by the immediate use of Dr. Ball’s Cough Syrup; 25 cents a bottle.

FARM ROTES.

Ashes saturated with keiosene and applied to cucumber and squash plants in the hill will be a great help in keeping off striped bugs. Hay is worth SIOO per ton in some of the mining districts of Colorado. It costs more to feed a horse than it does a man in some of the towns among the mountains. Salt and ashes mixed in the drink of hogs has a great tendency to ward off disease. A solution of copperas also is often useful to purge them from worms. A writer in the Garden suys that if potting soil is placed for a day or two in the hen-yard every particle of it is dug over, and all grubs and eggs of insects are picked out. Prof. Shelton, of the Kansas Agricultural College, favors September calves, because, dropped in that month, they escape the trying heats of summer, can be pushed during the winter with grain, and in spring are ready for grass as soon as it appears. If there is not sufficient rain to keep compost heaps moist water should be snpplied, even if it has to be hauled and poured on them. Decomposition is arrested when the heap becomes dry. A few barrels of water from the well will soon start up heat and decomposition in a dry pile of compost. According to experiments of the Ontario (Canada) School of Agriculture, by adding $5.40 worth of bone dust to farm-yard manure the crop of wheat was increased $7.20 per acre. By adding nitrate of soda the value of the crop was increased $lO. Lucerne is deemed profitable, having a season from April to October. > Where farmers and mechanics intermarry, says J. B. Olcott in the Christian Union, in the old way, as the wiser ones continually do, keeping up an intimacy with the soil and au interchange of employments and implements through the garden, farm and workshop, mutations of fortune find them versatile, and as ready to fall upon their feet with every change of affairs as a cat If you want your chicks to grow fast, feed them on oatmeal scalded with sweet or sour milk. Don’t jnake the feed wet or sloppy, nor give more at once than will be eaten up cleab. Only prepare as much at once as will be all eaten before any fermentation takes place in it. Where oatmeal cannot be had, fine cornmeal or cracked wheat similarly treated and administered will answer a very good purpose. Some people make the mistake of giving the broods hatched by two or more hens at once to a single hen to nurse. If each hen has, hatched but one or two chicks, then, of course, it is right and proper to give them all to one hen. But if each hen has hatched five or six chicks, she should bo allowed to rear them. That number is nearly or quite enough for a small or mediumsized hen at this time of the year.

Fowls will need the best food if an abundance of good rich eggs are desired. Wheat steeped in boiling water, and given hot, and hot baked potatoes crushed with a masher,areas good food as can be given; water slightly warmed with a small quantity of copperas in it will be useful. Allspice mixed with corr.-meal musli is an excellent condiment, and by no means costly. Laudanum in ten-drop doses has been found a remedy for the cholera, or poultry intestinal fever, which has destroyed so many birds. All animals fatten better in mild weather or in comfort ible winter quarters than when exposed to the inclement season. A farmer, desirous of testing this, commenced with a lot of hogs, averaging 175 pounds each, on the 20th of September. He fed them two weeks and then weighed them, and found that at the price ruling in that market his corn so fed brought him GO cents per bushel. He weighed and fed them again two of the coldest weeks in November, and found on again weighing that, with pork at the samo price, his corn had only brought him 30 cents. One fruitful source of colic in horses is cracked coin. If corn is to be fed, use whole corn; it is much more likely to be perfectly masticated than cracked corn, and its imperfect mastication causes the colic. It is also unwise to feed grain to a hungry horse, for theu a large portion is very apt to be swallowed without being properly masticated. This can be seen in their voidings. Always let the edge of a horse’s hunger be taken off with a feed of hay before feeding grain. Half an hour extra spent m feeding, whon on the road, will bring 3ou homo half an hour earlier at night. During the winter housing, poultry is liable to become lousy, and are often seriously affected with scurvy. When in this condition the egg product is greatly diminished. Coal tar is a good material for hen-houses. It i 3 a good disinfectant and deodorizer, and a pretty certain exterminator ot' all vermin from every part which is likely to come in contact with the poultry. The tar should be applied in the boiling state. This will soon dr . On all portions which do not come in contact with the poultry, apply the tar raw; this will be more destructive and last longer. Twice a year is quite sufficient. Kerosene is good, but it soon evaporates, and to be effective must be applied twice a week.

Household Perils.

Under this head the Boston -Journal of Chemistry names several dangerous substances which find their way into households. There are two or three volatile liquids used in fami ies which are particularly dangerous, and must be employed, if at ell, with special care. Benzine, ether, and strong ammonia constitute this class of agents. The two first-named liquids are employed in cleaming gloves and other wearing apparel, aud in removing oil stains from carpets, curtains, etc. The liquids are highly volatile, and flash info vapor so soon as the cork of the vial containing them is removed. Their vapors are very combustible, and will inflame at long distances from igDited candles or gas flames, and consequently they should never be used in the evening when the house is liglitc d. Explosions of a very dangerous nature will occur if the vapor of these liquids is permitted to escape into a room in considerable quantity. In view of the great hazard of handling these liquids, cautious housekeepers will not allow them to be brought into their dwellings, ana this course is commendable. As regards ammonia, or water of ammonia, it is a very powerful agent, especially the stronger kinds sold by druggists. An incident in its use has recently come under our notice, in which a young lady lost her life from taking a few drops through mistake. * Breathing the gaß under certain circumstances causes serious harm to the lungs aud membranes of the mouth and nose. It is an agent much used at the present time for cleansing purposes, and it is unobjectionable if proper care is used in its employment. The v als holding it should be kept apart from others containing medicines, etc., and rubber stoppers to the vials shonid be used. Oxalic acid is considerably employed in families for cleaning brass und copper utensils. Ibis substance is highly poisonour, and must be kept and used wifi great cant'.on Iu cry stalline struct-

ore it closely resembles sulphate of magnesia or Epsom salts, and therefore frequent mistakes are made and lives lost. Every agent which goes into families among inexperienced persons should be kept in a safe place, and labeled properly and used with care.

Desperate Struggle with Wolves.

Valentine White, one of the oldest farmers residing in Bradford county, Pa., had a desperate encounter with two almost famished wolves not long since. Around Mr. White’s farm is a dense forest, almost untouched by the pioneers. Bear, deer and wolf are abundant, notwithstanding which they are seldom disturbed by hunters. In the rear of Mr. White’s house is a huge frame barn, with great cracks caused by decaying boards. On going out to the bam he heard a great commotion. Thinking some of the animals had broken loose he did not open the front door lest they should escape, but squeezed himself through a large aperture left by a broken board. As soon as he entered the uproar increased, and he saw in the middle of the barn floor a heiftr wh’ch had torn herself from the stanchion by main force, and broken one horn in the set. Clinging to her muzzle was a large gray wolf, with its long sharp teeth fastened in the animal’s nose with a bull-dog grip, while another was trying to hamstring the poor creature. The bellowing of the heifer, the snarling of the wolves, and the ja'tling of the loose barn floor made a deafening racket, and the human intruder was unnoticed. The cow shook the wolf like a limp rag, and pounded the sides of the stable with it, but in vain. Old White’s anger at tl e attack on his stock overmastered all feelings of prudence, and, seizing a pitchfork, he prepared himself for an attack. No sooner did the wolves see him, than, maddened by the taste of blood, they turned from the heifer and attacked him. As one of the infunated animals sprang toward the old man, he dealt it a mighty blow with the fork, sending it to a corner. v But the other animal caught its teeth in the old man's right coat sleeve, and in such close quarters that the weapon was of no avail. After kicking uselessly at the animal, he grasped its throat with his left hand, and choked the wolf until it let go. Then, seizing again the pitchfork, he dealt a well-directed blow, and broke the leg of one of the animals, which then dodged through the hole behind him and limped off, howling dismally. The other wolf held its ground, and, whenever opportunity was offered, sprung at the old man, now and then fastening its teeth into his arms. Though bleeding profusely, White continued the fight, and finally, with a welldirected thrustof the pitchfork, sent the tines through the animal’s heart, killing it almost instantly. The dead wolf was of large size, gaunt with hunger, and with a shaggy coat of light gray. White’s clothes were torn into shreds, and his face, neck and breast were scarred deeply by the claws ot the animal.

Ladies’ Horns.

We must commiserate the unfortunate Charles VI., who nought to beguile thought in any way, however puerile, when we remember what manner of woman was his coarse and cruel consort, Isabella of Bavaria. Surely no man in his senses can wonder that the sight of her did occasionally scare the imbecile King, for on her head she wore horns, and these grew wider and wider, and, in proportion, higher. This formidable horn head-dress, variously decked with jewels and fur, was introduced into France by the Queen above named, and eventually became so monstrous that, the horns growing at least two yards apart from each other, doorways were enlarged to admit the breadth of them. And not only horns but tails were at that time worn by ladies, and to these robes a queue, or long train dresses were attached sleeves which swept the ground. In addition to ah this it may be observed that ornaments, resembling animals’ ears, were sometimes appended to the horns; but the under garments of this amazing costume were usually of wool or coarse cloth, for flue linen was at that time so rare in France that the mighty Isabella herself possessed but a scant supply of it a 3 a luxury.

Ireland, 1596.

They say it is the fatal destiny cf that land that no purposes whatsoever which are meant for her good will prosper or take good effect; which, whether it proceed from the very genius of the soil, or influence of the stars, or that Almighty God hath not yet appointed tho time for her reformation, or that He ro3erveth her in this unquiet state for some secret scourgi which shall by her come unto England, it is hard to be known, but yet much to be feared.— Spencer.
