fc VENTIDE. BY WILLIB H. SCOFIELD. Now wanes the golden light of day, As slowly sinks the sun to rest, And leaves behind a golden ray, The soul to cheer, the sight to bless; Soon will the velvet pall be spread By dark-winged goddess of the night, And sleep—twin brother of the dead— Weigh down the eyelids by his might. From bramb'e near and quickset hedge Is beard the whip-poor-will’s lone cry, While in the ancient oak o’erhead The hooting owls their high notes try ; The flowers fold their tiny hands, As if to breathe a prayer to Him Who gave them all their brightest hues, His earth to deck, His fields t» gem. The weary granger slowly plrsls His homeward path from daily toil Of hobbling o'er the sun-baked clods To gain his bread from off the soil; His g*>od dame, maid of all work—is Cook, governess and milkmaid, all - Stands calling at the pasture liars The cows, that answer with a bawl. The busy mart is all aglow With lamps that su]>ersede the day, And laborers from their shopwork go, As distant sounds the noisy dray ; The tradesman, low o'er day-l>ook Isint, Recounts again bis daily sale, And reckons loss, and gain, and rent, That he, like others, may not fail. What moan those sweet strains of music That genty float upon the air Through the window of your mansion, \\ here's thronged the young,the gay and fair?

LIFE’S SHADOWS.

BY IRENE INGE COLLIER.

Slowly the golden ball of molten, fire was traveling toward the westward, hiding behind delicate sapphire clouds, and shadowing purplish tints upon a tall, queenly woman statucsquely draped in white, standing alone upon a stone colonnade; her eyes largo and brown, swept the horizon with a hungry, eager gaze. The fitful gusts of chilling summer wind blew the long, trailing vines, heavy with the passing shower, against her marble cheeks, dashing the many-col-ored drops over face, hair, and down upon her sheer-white dress, while the frown of care grew deeper upon the troubled face, for Memory’h busy tides are seething O’er the lundmarkw. of the past. “ Miss Hinton ! you here?” ejaculated ('apt. Thornton, in much astonishment. Slowly the chestnut-crowned head bowed until the face was buried in the dark-green ivies. “’Tis I, (’apt. Thornton. Did Ella wish me ? ” “Only in search myself; but you are chilly—l will get a wrap,” quite reluctantly entering the hall. “ You are very kind.” “The scarlet shawl throws a glow over your face, Miss Hinton. Why did you prefer solitude on your last night with us ?” “ I have been watching the last rays of sun glint those rugged, gray cliffs, ami trying to shape my future destiny by the time they were Ridden from sight. Ah ! see, they are gone, and ‘it may be for years, and it may be forever ’ ere I see the sea-washed shore or rugged granite stones again.” Her voice was low, and grew softer and tremulous as she ended the long dissertation. “You imbibe too freely of sadness, Miss Mabel. Will you walk with me? I have a great deal to tell you. Why do you avoid me so assiduously of late?” “ ‘Silence is the eternal duty of man,’ says Carlyle—why not of woman also? ” “ Let rifts of moonlight through your ideas,” interpolated Capt. Thornton, quickly, and abashed. “It would only mend the vase for a time, and I prize your friendship too highly to be more explicit. Everything seems gloomy to me to-night. Past, present and future are each bringing its sorrow to the surface—even the harrowing, dubious future. Whist think you ? Nothing, Miss Mabel? You confide in no one?” as both wandered back and forth on the long colonnade in the moonlight. “ [i. has been said the most tragic things in life are its failures, and how bitter do mine chide me to-night. My he irt grows cold with its rebuff, and no silvery clouds peep behind the darkness for me, Capt. Thornton.” “ You have landed your hope bark on the rock of despair, methinks, Miss Hinton ; and why do you torture me, knowing my strong arms are ever ready and willing to guide you safe to the peace harlx >r?” Only a tighter pressure upon his arm, and a tremor, which involuntarily made him press the hand resting there more closely. “Capt. Thornton, please say no more. ” “It is too trying. 1 must unburden my heart, as I have so oft done before ; the intensity of my love for yo.u is consuming the vitality of life.’ Day after day 1 have noted your bloodless, careworn face ; and back my heart wandered to a country farm-house, with its broad stretch of grain-laden fields, and, the most pleasing, a rosy-cheeked, browneyed lassie of 16. That picture has haunted me for ten long years, amid the blue ocean storms and under India’s sweltering sun, and now, as before, to toll my love for you, and to you, throws a mystical silence over you, and a shrinking away which you never will explain.” “Let me net see how cruelly I have annoyed you. Mine eyes are burning, and brain seems gone.” “Oh, Mabel ! why are vou so heartless ?” For a moment she leaned heavily upon his arm, then sobs of emotion shook the queenly form; as ho clasped her to his breast her arm encircled his neck, and she gave way to her feelings. Frank Thornton rained kisses upon the blushing face. “I love you, Mabel.” “Love, Frank, I adore you, but oh, what have I done ? There is an interminable barrier, oh—my—love—” She could nay no m re, for breath came thick r.n I heavy, and with a convulsive gasp she exclaimed wildly:. “ Yes, yes, Frank, 1 mijst give even you up.” “ Never, never,” he cried. ’’Yes, forever; there is a fearful

secret which shadows my life—yet I can and will love you always.” She slipped from his arms and sped like a startled fawn up the long stairway. Capt. Thornton watched the ghostlv figure, and with a deep-drawn sign slowly resumed his pace. “ Aye, .forever,” was a true version to his sighs, until from sheer exhaustion he leisurely strolled in the parlors. “I heard you and Miss Mabel in low converse, Thornton, and were you so uninteresting she banished you?” asked Guy Marchfield, jestingly. “ I wtts not so cruelly treated, Guy, but you and Miss Ella would notentertain anyone but selves; and Miss Mabel had to prepare for her flight.” “ How heartless,” replied one. “Regret it so much!” chimed in another guest. “ Not more than I, for Cousin Mabel is truly fascinating, so deep too, that I always don my thinking cap to keep in her train,” said Ella Hinton, thoughtfully.

“Let me go for her, Ella?” “ No, no, Susie; she is busy, or would not have excused herself,” was the determined reply. So gayly for a time was the merriment continued, until, tired of nonsense, the weary party exchanged good-night, and retired. All? no; Capt. Thornton packed hastily his valise—left a note of thanks, with regrets that business forced bis departure, for Mrs. Hinton—and was on the road in the midnight train, flying fast from his recent object < f love, and the happy summer passed, but not forgotten.

Poor Mabel! reaction was too great, and she sobbed out the miserable hours; truly her glow of joy was hidden under the rust of sorrow. Like a tangled skein of floss, as rapidly one knot was unloosed another still more tangled assumed its stead. She was a woman of great depth, and from poverty to luxury she reviewed her life. She was bereaved deeply while only 18, and left an orphan, with poverty staring her in the face. A wealthy uncle made her his heiress, where every wish and desire could be gratified, at 20; so for six long years she had been a society woman. From youth to mature womanhood she had loved Frank Thornton. Occasionally her hungry heart would bo appeased by a glimpse of him, which only made the aches more intense, and, leaving her aunt and cousins with Capt. Thornton, as she supposed, was very hard, yet an inevitable step.

It was scarcely day dawn when she hade them adieu, with a wistful look at the dear old piazza, which only had heard the confession uindr the night before between the two, and back she was quickly borne to her home of wealth, to a giddy whirl of gayety. Not a word, through the fall and early winter, had she heard from her soul’s adoration. Not hearing made thinking of him more frequent, and she grew morose and tired out of life.

It was a clear cold morning, and Miss Hinton was seated by a glowing grate, sipping chocolate and scanning the morning paper—the servants heard a crash and fall, and rushed in to find Miss Hinton in a faint, and her chaperone trying to resuscitate the apparently dead form. After a few seconds she opened her eyes. “ Please assist me to my room—Capt. Thornton is married,” she murmured, and held eagerly the newspaper. “A card, Miss Mabel.’ “ Not at home to anyone. ”

“ I told the lady you were ill; but she is here now,” as Susie Mays opened the door. “ How sorry I am you are ill, Mabel.” “Only the effects of over-dissipation, Susie. How are all at Gray Cliff?” “Well; but I was so in hopes you would be my guide for to-day, as we will only have time to spend one day here. Did you sei’ my marriage notice?” “Yes; I should have congratulated you before, child, but was feeling so badly had forgotten you were married.” “For shame ! I wanted to tell you all last summer, but left it for Capt. Thornton’s secret.” “ I am surprised; you are given to secretiveness.” “No; the first of any importance lever kept.” “ You will be deprived of my reception, Susie, which I should gladly have given, on account of my illness.” “We cannot remain over. Thanks, Mabel, for your kindness.” “ Why did not your husband call with you?” “His plea of business—came fol goods—and his time so completely occupied—left me at the door to find my way back from here.” “ Don’t go !” as Susie arose. “I am sorry, but ciinnot remain longer; good-by! Will see you next summer, Mabel, at your aunt’s.” “ Yes, I hope so; take good care of your new-found treasure,” and, shading her face with her hands, was in such a brown study that the, maid shook her to hand a telegram. Her lingers trembled, and lace grow ashy pale as she noted the contents, and her silent prayer was registered in heaven. “How can 1 enduro more? Truly I have a heavy cross to bear.” Turning to the waiting servant, “there is no reply, but pack a small trunk with plain garments and a black dress as hurriedly as vou can.” “Yes, Miss Mabel.” Mabel Hinton‘was very calm ami self - possessed, ate a hearty dinner, gave directions for a week’s absence, and was at the tic]>ot waiting by J o’clock in the afternoon. A crushed heart, broken in twain, years of loneliness, with no glad hope to crown the years with love and happiness. He was married, and last summer told her a prevarication. All grew more defined and sad as she, seated alone, reviewed their love for each other. When she left the cars a close carriage was in waiting, and a lonely, desolate ride through thick forests in the early morning to a large, rambling brick building, ivy-grown, was the end of her journey. The gates were locked, and the shrill shrieks of the mad inmates made each hair almost rise, on end, and Mabel Hinton shrank from the, awful ordeal that was before her—“ Too late, miss, he’s dead !” “Dead—dead, did you say?” “Yes, and when I sent for yotf he was conscious and sane, and made me write a letter for you ; it was a terrible deathbed scene.” “ Where is he, poor, poor soul ?” “Buried, mam. Yes—know it is the law, unless the friends request the body. We put it away among us. You left more than enough money to do all we did for him,” handing Mabel the letter. “ Conduct me to his grave.” “I will, but must tell the carriage to wait, because you look too weak to spend anight here.” “ A new-made grave, where the Boughings of the wind through the trees chanted a solemn requiem, hold the secret barrier that had robbed Mabel Thornton of a happy life. And the tearless eyes and feverish face gaze wildly ; and, turning her eyes heavenward, thanks God that lie was where he would suffer no more. A husband only in name, yet a’Jiusband.” She placed the letter in her pocket, and, thanking the janitress, left the lonely spot almost a tit subject to dwell there within those narrow brick walls. Her drive back over the lonely road was a joyless one, but she instinctively entered the ears—-then all was a blank. * * * * * The fluttering lace curtains awoke the beautiful woman, and, attemptim 7- to rise, fell back with a cry of pain. “ Darling, rest qui. t; vou are with me.” “Auntie, I am well, Im! oh so weak - what is the matter ?” “Yon have be-m :dmo, t' :■! denlh’s

door, Mabel, but are all right. You must not talk. ” “I know he is dead, for I saw his grave. Auntie, I must die, too. ” “Not while I love you so,” said a deep, rich voice; and Capt. Thornton bent and kissed her face. “You here! Are you and Susie living here ? ” “My Cousin Harold and Susie were married last winter, and I, darling, was only biding my time. ” “It has come, Frank, for I am free to love you now.” He bent again. Her face was covered with kisses. “I was going to see you at Susie’s request, when I was earned by my stopping-place from carelessness; and, as you entered the car door you fell almost in my arms. I took this letter which your aunt and I perused together, and have found out a great deal since from the matron of the asylum, for I have been to see her; and, from your raving while ill, know all.” “ You must not talk so much, Mabel,” said her aunt. “Did you find out my poor father thought he had wronged the boy ? He, by his falsehoods, made my father force me to marry him; led him into a lawsuit; told him he would dishonor his name; and I secretly obeyed his dying request; married the boy, who shortly after went crazy from his wrong deeds to a poor, honest man like my father. I worked for him while I was so poor, and kept him in the best asylum I could; and, when I was made rich, gave him all the comforts in my power. And now I am doubly blessed. You, Frank, still love me, and God has tortured me seven times seventy, and purified and refined me for a noble husband ! ” And, with hands clasped, life’s shadows flitted away to rest on some other not so fortunate. “ Your life has been a perfect sacrifice to him.”

“ I never loved him, but did what I thought my duty.” “ And Heaven will bless you, Mabel, for it,” said her aunt, with tears coming rapidly down her cheeks. “ After my father’s death, I found out my husband, had acted with deception, but it was soo late, auntie, for our marriage had been celebrated.” “To save my husband’s brother from dishonor you have spent the best years of your life in sorrow.” “While her hitter years will be my sacred interest, and a double portion of love from me will be given my wife—nee Miss Hinton,” said Capt. Thornton, with glad smiles chasing each other over his face. • “ Now, Frank, my inevitable barrier is removed, and my secret you complained of told!”—she caught her breath strangely, like a sob and forced laugh. “And proudl am, Mabel, of a wife who has an over-abundance of pride for family, and honor." “ For years, Frank, I have murmured against my implacable fate, but how wisely all was ordained; for silent love through years only makes me revere more than it can be verified. ” The warm spring brought many stirring events. First, Ella Hinton and Guy Marchfield were united in the holy bonds of matrimony; then Frank Thornton and poor Mabel, who dreams life away in sunshine, joy and gladness.— Chicago Ledger.

FASHION FRIPPERIES.

HINTS ABOUT DRESSES, Pleated skirts forming double kilts are very fashionable for foulards and for thin wool dresses. Hoods are about to be revived, and are made on round capes that reach only to the elbow, as well as on the long straight gowns that form over-dresses for suits. Gathered ruffles made very narrow and double of the silk are on Paris dresses. The gay cotton dresses are quite as effective as those of foulard, and are secured for Newport and Saratoga. Creamy muslin embroidery and white Languedoc lace are lavishly used on French costumes of Turkey red calico ; the parasol and fan to match are of the same calico, very delicately painted by band. Other cretonne, satine and mummycloth dresses are made up in the Watteau designs that are used for foulards, and are elaborately trimmed with lace. Yachting dresses of wool bunting are made of the handkerchief-patterned bunting, with blue ground, polka-dotted with red. Dark blue foulard with white polka dots is made into charming short dresses, faced with dark red, and sold for SSO. Red foulards in Turkish patterns are faced with blue. Dark winecolored Surah dresses are elaborately trimmed with, creamy white muslin and embroidery. Coat sleeves of dresses are made very high on the shoulders, and stand upward like men’s coat-sleeves. The wrists of sleeves are very plainly finished, and are trimmed with lace pleatings. INEXPENSIVE DRESSES. Sleazily woven flannel, called by the merchants beige de saute, and sold for 25 cents a yard, is made up for summer dresses for the country. It may be had in navy or peacock blue, gray, olive, or cardinal, and, while all pure wool, is of such light weight that it is liked for morning dresses. The box-pleated waist or belted basque is simply stitched, or else piped with dark red. There arc two or throe full straight breadths gathered or pleated in the back, and an apron drapes the front and sides. A boxpleated rutile piped with red trims the edge. When made at home such dresses ne (I not cost more than $5. For low-priced white dresses the summer zephyr sold at 18 cenfis a yard is a very pretty creamy white muslin as soft and thin as India muslin, and with a erap '-like crinkle. This makes a charming drapery for a, partly-worn evening dress of light silk, and might also be edged with the new cream and gold laces, and draped upon dark or even black silks. Shawls with solid centers and embroidered borders are being utilized for the long coats and surtouts now in fashion. One of navy-blue cashmere, with dotted embroidery of pale gray in the border, makes a beautiful overdress for a gray silk trimmed with blue satin pleating. Another shawl of brocaded silk and wool mixed cream and gold is also effective for a long coat, to be worn with a skirt of black velvet. A coachman’s-drab coat of fine cashmere, with brown velvet Directi are collar and pockets, is worn with a brown-velvet skirt. Spanish lace will be the fashionable net for polonaises in the summer, and will be worn with dresses of pale gray, heliotrope, or ecru silk. Gray or brown Cheviot, in black patters, as well as in checks, is sold for the popular price of 50 or 60 cents a yard, for making light woolen suits for spring, summer, and fall. It is made with a pleated skirt, which is sometimes a plain kilt, but more often there are three rows of pleating across the back breadths, covering them from the belt to the foot, while the front is a single kilt. A long coat basque or a still longer surtout is piped with red to complete the suit.

The Betrothed of James Buchanan.

The Delphi (Ind.) Journal records the death of Elizabeth Smith, formerly of that place, in the 91th year of her age, and says : “ The subject of this sketch was of a proud and aristocratic family, and was a schoolmate of James Buchanan, and, had fortune favored, would have been the lady of the White House. The wedding clothes were prepared, the day set, and preparations made, when by sc me cause never revealed the match was broken, by a solemn pledge that neither would -. ver rnarry, a pledge that war. sacredly kepi.” Peter Adams, a colored man 110 years old, died m Houston county, Texet , la ! work.

FARM NOTES.

Pigs need dry beds as well as other animaLsFeed the sheep well, give them fresh, pure water, and keep them out of the wet. American honey in the comb has become a popular article of diet in England, and very large shipments are made. Of all the products of the soil, none are so prolific in seed as weeds; 60,000 seeds have been counted upon one mullein stalk. A Vermont dairy farmer says that, when he feeds meal to his cows, seventeen pounds of milk make a pound of butter. But, when no meal is fed, it takes twenty-three to twenty-six pounds. There is contained in the corn cobs raised in the United States from 115,000,000 to 120,000,000 pounds of carbonate of potash, which is the third most valuable article required in agriculture. Mixed husbandry is what we need. The farmer who grows sometliing of everything adapted to his locality will be safer, and, in the long run, will save more than he who devotes his energies and land mainly to one or two crops. The leaf cases of the leaf crumpler may be easily found at this season, and should be searched for and destroyed. It multiplies rapidly and is sometimes very destructive, entire orchards being rendered nearly worthless by its presence.

J. W. Myers, of Hampton, lowa, says that, after many trials, there are two trees which have endured the ordeal of Northern hedging, and have not been found wanting in any particular. These are the honey locust and the white willow.

A Pennsylvania farmer cured ringbone of four years’ standing on his horse by using four ounces of saltpeter in a quart of good vinegar. Dissolve well and apply by bath or mop. About a dozen applications cured this case in six months.

The St. Patrick, one of the new varieties of potatoes recently introduced to the attention of our farmers, is said to be most excellent and well worthy of extended culture. It has a smooth, white skin, few and shallow eyes, producing but few small tubers, maturing early and compact in its habit of growth. It bids fair to become a popular market variety. A little oil cake or meal given to the farm team about the time when shedding the winter coat will be of great advantage. It will act as a gentle laxative and stimulant, and render more active the various secretive organs of the system, and better fit them for the arduous labors of the season. An occasional teaspoonful of spirits of nitre will not come amiss to act as a diuretic.

The winters in Russia are becoming colder every year, and the summers hotter, more dry and less fruitful, owing as is clearly stated by Livingstone, to the destruction of the woodlands which formerly abounded in the southern districts. The clearing of these lands has caused such enormous evaporation that many once capacious water courses have become mere swamps, or are comparatively dry. Roup in poultry is only a fatal disease when, like many others, it is neglected till passed all remedy. If, when first attacked, a mixture of cayenne pepper and lard, about the size of a bean, be given to the fowl about twice a day, a care will be effected in a few days. We keep from fifty to 100 fowls, and have never lost by this disease, but have effected a cure in large numbers by the mixture described.— Exchange. Young stock, especially calves and colts, frequently become infested with stock lice, in winter, which greatly multiply toward spring and, nearly suck the life’s blood out of them. They should be looked after, and if found infested with this species of vermin, should be treated for it. A moderately strong solution of carbolic soap applied liberally to the neck and back will soon effectually rid them of these troublesome pests. W. A. Armstrong, Elmira, N. Y., said at a recent meeting of the Elmira Farmers’ Club: “I have, tried raising Alsike clover on as much as 100 acres of land in various conditions. I sowed thirty acres of new land with Alsike alone, and I have sowed the seed mixed with timothy and with common red clover. As the result of all my observation, I have concluded that Alsike clover is not a profitable crop to raise It makes good pasture ami for cattle good hay, but it will not stay in the land so well as red clovers, and when the first growth is cut or grazed off that is the end of it for that year. I cannot say what influence is exerted by it toward enriching the laud, but if I may judge by the character of the roots I must say it is inferior to red clover as a fertilizer. The roots do not penetrate so far and they have less substance. Cattle are extremely fond of Alsike pasturage, but cows grazing on it make butter of light color. Farmers who keep bees may find it profitable to have a field of Alsike near by, for it affords a great deal of honey if the plants are not grazed, and it will continue to blossom a. long time. The best use I have had of it has been when mixed with the ordinary grasses, and in this condition it has remained longer in the ground than when sowed alone. ”

HOUSEHOLD HELPS.

New linen may be embroidered more easily by rubbing it over with fine white soap; it prevents the thread from cracking. To remove grease from wall-paper, ay several folds of blotting-paper on the spot and hold a hot iron near it until the grease is absorbed. 'To take ink out of linen, dip the ink spot in pure melted tallow ; then wash out tiie tallow, and the ink will come out with it. This is said to be unfailing. If brooms are wet in boiling suds once a week they will become very tough, will not cut a carpet, will last much longer, and always sweep like a new broom.

To remove rust from a stove-pipe, rub with linseed oil (a little goes a good way); build a slow fire at first till it, is dry. Oil in the spring, to prevent it from rusting. To clean brass, immerse or wash it several times in sour milk or whey. This will brighten it without scouring. It may then be scoured with a woolen cloth dipped in ashes.

Boston Cocoanut Pie.—Take one cocoanut and grate; add the milk and two eggs, till the mixture is as thick as custard pie. One nut makes two pies.

To curl plumes, put some coals of fire on a shovel, sprinkle some brown sugar on the coals and hold the plumes in the smoke. One application will be sufficient to make them as nice as new. Another way: Take a little salt and sprinkle it upon the hot stove and hold the plume over the smoke a few minutes.

A tabde-spoonfud of black popper will prevent gray or buff linens from spotting if stirred into the first water in which they are washed. It will also prevent the colors running in washing black or colored cambrics or muslins, and the water is not injured by it, but is just as soft as before the pepper was put in. Mary Huff’s Bread and Butter Pudding.— Butter the bottom of your pudding-dish and strew with currants, then a layer of bread, cut very thin and buttered; repeat until the dish is nearly full; make a custard of one quart of milk, two eggs, seasoned with vanilla and salt;

pour on the bread and let it stand one hour, and bake. Old-fashioned Tapioca Pudding.— Two eggs, one quart milk, one cup tapioca; spices of nutmeg and cinnamon to taste; also sugar and a bit of salt, and small teaspoonfid of butter melted. Wash and soak the tapioca in very little water till rather tender; then put it in the milk, and place on back of the stove and soak one hour; then melt butter in dish and pour in the beaten eggs, milk well sweetened, and spice; bake one hour quite slowly.

BREVITIES.

Bismarck has a very large hand—and a very heavy one. Jules Verne is said to have made a round quarter of a nrillion by his writings. Judge J ere Black and wife are within six years of their golden wedding. At their marriage he was 26 and she 17 years old. The growing of pine-apples and bananas has been successfully tried on the Upper St. Jolms’ and Indian river country, in Florida. A bronze statue is to be erected on Bunker Hill in honor of Col. William Prescott. It is high time tliis old Revolutionary hero had some public token of recognition. The deer which have been driven to the high grounds of Louisiana by the high water are being slaughtered in large numbers, regardless of the game laws of the State.

The new Chinese professor at Cambridge is very popular at entertainments, and appears at them arrayed in silk and satin, but as yet there is not muchee talkee in him.

At Wliite Rock, Me., Mrs. Purrington put her 4-weeks-old infant into the cradle, and, having occasion to leave the room for a few minutes, carefully tucked the blankets around the sleeping babe. She was gone rather longer than she expected to be, and, on going to the cradle, found her child dead, it having been smothered in the blankets.

The rector of the Trinity Church, at Newtown, Ct., has refused fifteen prominent members of his church the communion because they sent in a letter to the clerk of the parish asking him. to call a meeting to ask the rector to resign. A committee appointed by the Bishop are hearing testimony on appeal from the minister’s action.

A party of laborers, while engaged excavating on the main road in the village of Canarsie, on Long island, exhumed three skeletons and a number of bones. The remains are believed to be those of Canarsie Indians buried over 100 years ago. It is thought that the spot was at one time used as an Indian burying ground. The English language is rich in synonymous terms. A mechanic in search of work is “out of a job;” a clerk in the same predicament is “ disengaged,” and a professional man similarly placed is “at leisure.” The mechanic gets work, the clerk “ connects ” himself with some establishment, and the professional man “ resumes ” practice. The deep well which is being drilled at Petrolia, Ontario, has now reached a depth of 1,280 feet. The last ninety feet have been drilled in a bed of pure salt, and is still drilling. This is the largest body of pure salt ever found, and, with an unlimited supply of cheap fuel in the shape of oil and tar, Petrolia may supply the world with salt. The ex-Queen of Naples goes daily to the Hippodrome nt Paris, and is takinglessons in circus tricks on horseback, a servant throwing balls to her, which she catches, going at full gallop and leaning back so that her head almost touches the horse’s tail. The King stands watching her with mute admiration, and when the exercises are over he goes to the Madeleine and prays.

Tennyson recently related an incident which occurred near his home to this effect: A man who was staggering along the road stopped him with the remark : “Mr. Tennyson, if you will shake hands with me, I swear, by God Almighty, I won’t touch liquor again.” The poet complied, but concluded his tale with the remark : “lam afraid I didn’t do any good.” Raisin grapes are being planted in California on a gigantic scale. This furore is stimulated by the great profits, the superior quality, the export demand and the very light work required in that climate for preparing raisins. A large company of capitalists is incorporated to introduce raisin culture in Fresno county, and, in live years’ time, California raisins will drive all such imports from the United States.

Senator Kane, of the San Francisco Legislature, asserted in a speech that he had been offered a bribe of SI,OOO to support a certain corrupt measure. 2I committee was appointed to investigate. Kane testified that the man who tried to buy him was stout, had dark mustache, wore gray clothes, and lived in San Francisco; but he would give no more definite information. He looked on an informer as worse than a thief, he said, and would not on any account divulge the, name. The identity of the lobby man seems to be known, but Kane’s peculiar notion of honor stands in the way of further proceedings.

A Necktie Difficulty.

A matter of neckties has caused an immense amount of trouble in a Philadelphia church. Lt seems that the parishioners of the Rev. Mr. Tucker, of the Reformed Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, desired to hold what is known as a necktie p; rty. The chief feature of tliis form of entertainment is that each lady who attends wears a calico apron from which a necktie has been previously made. These neckties are placed in sealed envelopes and sold to young men, and the individual purchasing becomes the attendant for tiie evening of that young lady who wears the apron which matches his tie. The pastor objected to this feature of the entertainment, and serious trouble ensued. Strenuous efforts to oust the pastor were made, and, failing in these, a portion of the congregation seceded. j\.t last accounts the clergyman, who declares the affair to be a “contest between worldliness and godliness,” was holding the fort.

A Coward.

A Virginia man who was “branded as a coward” by the man with "whom he refused to tight a duel thrashed three footpads who came at him with knives, and the same day stopped a team from running away with two little children; and now the fellow who did the branding thinks of moving to some town where the people will quit nagging at him.

Coffee.

The successful growing of the coffee plant in South Florida seems to be now established beyond question, and the Commission of Agriculture has awarded the premium offered some time since for the first pound of coffee grown in the open air. The Agricultural Bureau furnishes plants already started to those who wish to give it a trial.

A New Name for It.

A Southern paper, in speaking of a i criminal who had been killed by light- ! ning, remarks: “Providence, through . a stroke of lightning, sent the incendiary | wretch to that et?rnal penitentiary i where, according to scripture, his pun--1 ishment will be unlimited.”

, The enormous sale of Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup i has had the effect of bringing out numerous ! similar remedies; but the people are not ho easi- ■ ly induced to make a trial of the new arI tide, when they value the old and reliable one I —Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup,

Habit

There was once a horse that was used to pull around a sweep, which lifted dirt from the depths of the earth. He was kept at the business for nearly twenty years, until he became old, blind, and too stiff in the joints to lie of further use. So he was turned into a pasture, or left to crop the grass without any one to disturb or bother him. But the funny thing about the old horse was that every’morning, after grazing a while, he would start on a tramp, going round and round in a circle, just as he had been accustomed to do for so many years. He would keep it up for hours, and people often stopped to look and wonder what had got into the head of the venerable animal to make him walk around in such a solemn way when there was no earthly’ need of it. But it was the force of habit. And the boy who forms bad or good habits in his youth will be led by them when he becomes old, and will be miserable’ or happy accordingly.

European Expenditure.

The total increase of expenditure caused by war, or the apprehension of war, has, if we take the average interest at i per cent., been £131,000,000 n year, or considerably more than the whole taxation of either of the richest countries in Europe—France and Great Britain. The amount at 4 per cent, represents a capital of £3,200,000,000, which, so long as the expenditure continues, and much of it is perpetual, is loss to the industrial work of Europe, and consequently’ to the progress of civilization, and to the material well-being of the people.

What Everybody Wants Who Has Not Heart and Read of It. NOTE THE FOLLOWING i PHABIBBUBG, Ohio, Maj-19. Messrs. J. N. Harris A Co.—Gentlemen : Permit me to say that for several weeks I suffered with a severe cough. I first used Denig's Cough Balsam, and after that several other preparations, each of which I gave a fair trial, which availed me nothing. For the succeeding six days I used no medicine. By that time I was thought in the first stages of Consumption. My cough being more severe than ever, I then etnntneneed ueinff ALLEN'S Lung Balsam, which has effectually cured me. I conscientiously believe it to be an excellent medicine, and can assure you that it will afford me the highest possible gratification to commend it to any person yon may refer to me.
