jUST IN TIME.

Dinner was over at last, and Mr. Walter Currie, English Commissioner at the np-country station, at Huttee-Bagli,-in Northern India, had gone, upon the verand i with his wife and his two guests, tlie Colonel and Major of the -th light infantry, to enjoy the cool of the evening. On three sides the house was surrounded by its compound, a large inclosed space serving the purpose of a courtyard, but the fourth was only separated by a small patch of garden from the road, along which a number of native women were passing with their little pitchers on their heads. The sight of them naturally turned the conversation upon a favorite subject with all Anglo-Indians, viz., the character of the natives and the best mode of dealing with them. "There s only one way,” said the Colonel, emphatically. "Tell ’em what they are to do, make ’em do it, and thrash ’em well if they don’t. That’s my way.” " Well, I venture to differ from you there, Colonel,” said Mr. Currie, quietly. " I had to do some thrashing once or twice, I own, but most of my native servants get along very well without it, a:id they seem to serve me excellently, I assure you.” “I wish you had been in my place, then,” retorted the Colonel; “you’d have changed your opinion,’ I warrant. Why, the year before last, when I had chirge.of two battalions of the rascals down at Suttepoor, because there wasn’t another Queen’s offic r within reach—just like my confounded luck !—there was no getting anything done unless I did P myself. By Jove, sir ! I had to bo t v rything at once—my own Quartermaster, my owh Sergeant Major, my own caterer, ami—” "Amt your own trumpeter, C >l. Annesley ? ” allied Mrs. Currie, with an arch smile. The Colon J’s broad face reddened ominously, and an ex, loaion seemed imminent, when a sud 1 n clamor ol angry voices from the road below drew th m all to the front veranda. The cause of the disturbance was visible at a glance. Two half-drunken English soldiers, swaggering along the ro: d, bad come into violent contact with a native who was ruunuig past; and one of them, enraged at the collision, had felled the poor lad to the ground, and was unclasping his own belt with the evident intention of beating him unmercifully. "Served the young whelp right,” shouted the Colonel, rubbing hishands ; "that’s just what thev a’l want.” The other officer, Maj. Armstrong—popularly called Maj. Strongarm—was a huge, brawny, silent man, whose forte lay in acting rather than talking. During the wh< le discussion he had sat like a great bronze statue, never uttering a word ; but, at sight of this man ill-using this child, he woke up rather startlingly. To leap to the ground twelve feet below, to dart across the garden, to vault over the high stockade beyond, was the work of a moment for the athletic Major, and in another instant he had raised the boy tenderly from the ground, while saying to the foremost soldier, in the low, compressed tone of a man who means what he says I "Be off with you." " And who the deuce are you, shovin’ yer nose in where you ain’t wanted?” roared the infuriated ruffian, to whose eyes the Major’s plain evening dress bore no token of his being an officer. " Jist you—” The sentence was never finished. At the sound of that insolent defiance Armstrong’s sorely-tried patience gave way altogether, and the powerful right hand which had hewed its way through a whole squadron of Shiv cavalry fell like a sledge-hammer upon his 'opponent’s face, dashing him to the ground as if he had been blown from the mouth of a gun. " Weil done, Maj. Armstrong,” shouted Mr. Currie from above. " You deserve your name, and no mistake.” At that formidable name the soldier took to his heels at once, and Armstrong, without even looking at his prostrate antagonist, proceeded to look at the hurts of the boy.” The latter was sorely bruised in many J daces, and the blood was trickling freey over his swarthy face ; but the little hero still did his best to stand erect, and to keep down every sign of the pain which he was endur ng. " You’re a brave lad, and you'll make a soldier some day,” said the Major to him in Hindoostanee. " Come with me, and I’ll see that no one molests you again.” The lad seized the huge brown hand which had defended him so bravely, and kissed it with the deepest reverence; and the two walked away together. Six months have coma and gone, and Mr. Currie’s hospitable home presents a very different sp ctacle. The pretty garden is tram ph d into dust and mire, and the laxlies of men and horses are lying thick among the fragments of tho» half-destroyed stockade. All the windows of the house are blocked up, and through the loop-holed walls peer the muzzles of ready rifles, showing how steadily the Iresieged garrison stands at bay against the countless enemies, whose dark, fierce faces and glittering weapons are visible amid the half-ruined building and matted thickets all around. The Sepoy mutiny of 1857 is blazing sky-high over Northern India, and Col. Annes’ey is blockaded in HutteeBagh, with a certainty of a hideous death for himself and every man of the few who are still true to him, unless help comes speedily. Day was just breaking when two men held a whispered council in one of the upper rooms. "No fi ar of the water running short,” said Maj. Armstrong, "but, even upon half rations, the food will be out in four days m -re. ” "And then well just go right at them, and cut our way through or die for it 1” growled the old Colonel, with a grim smile on his iron face, for, with all hi* harshness and injustice, Col. Annesley was "grit” to the backbone. "We mustn’t sav anything to them about it, though,” added he, with a side glance at Mr. Currie, who, standing in the further corner, was anxiously watcliing the thin worn face of Ids sleeping wife.

At that moment a loud cheer from below startled them both, and the next moment Ismail (the “Major’s boy,” ae every one now called him) burst into the room with a glow of unwonted excitement on his dark face. "Sahib,” cried he, “there is hope for us yet! A detachment of Ingleez (English) are coming up the other bank of the river; if we can send word to them as they pass we are saved. ” “How do you know?" asked the Major eagerly. "I heard the Sepoys say so, while I was lying hid among the bushes yonder,” answered the lad. “Among the bushes yonder?” roared the Colonel, facing around. "Have you really been in- the midst of those cutthroat villains listening to what they said. Whatever did you do that for?” "I did it for Sahib Armstrong’s sake,” replied the boy, proudly; "because he was good to me.” The Colonel turned hastily away to hide the flush of not unmanly shame that overspread his hard face; and Armstrong smiled slightly as he heard him mutter: / "By Jove! these chaps aren’t so black ns they’re painted, after all.” "But if the troops are beyond the river how can we communicate with them?" asked Mrs. Currie, who, awakened by the shouting, had arisen the group. "They may not pass neai, enough to hear the firing, and we hawno means of sending them word.” "Fear nothing for that, mem-sahib” (madam), answered the Hindoo boy, quietly. "I will carry them word myself.” - ’ "But how can you possibly do it?” cried Mrs. Currie, thunderstruck by the confident tone in which this mere child tqxike of a task from which the hardiest veteran might well have shrunk. "Listen, Sahib,.” answerer! Ismail. " I will slip out of the house and make a dash into the enemy’s lines, as if J were deserting from you to them, and you can tell your people to fire a shot 01 two after me with blank cartridge as 1 go. Then the Sepoys will receive me kindly, and I’ll tell them that you’re all dying of thirst, and that they must only wait one day more to make sure of you, so that they won’t care to mike another attack. Then, when they have no suspicion, and think I'm quite one of themselves, I’ll steal away and slip across the river.”

" But are you quite sure the Sepoys will believe you?” asked Maj. Armstrong, doubtfully. "They’ll believe this, anyhow,” replied the boy, deliberately making a deep gash in his bare shoulder and staining his white frock with the blood ns he glided from the room, followed by Armstrong. The plan was soon explained to the men below, and a moment later Ismail’s dark figure was seen darting like an arrow' across the open space in front of the building, followed by a quick discharge of blank cartridges from marksmen al the loopholes. The sound of the firing drew the attention of the Sepoys, several of whom ran forward to meet him. In another instant he was in the midst of them. " I can scarcely see for those bushes,” said Col. Annesley, “but he seems to be showing them the wound on his shoulder, and telling them it was our doing.” At that moment an exulting yell from the enemy came pealing through the air. ‘ ‘ That’s the story of our being short of water, for a guinea !” said the Major; “it was a very good thought of his. If it only delays their attack two days longer, there may be time for help to arrive yet” Slowly and wearily the long hours of that fearful day wore on. The heat was so terrible that even the native soldiers of the garrison could barely hold their >wn against it, and the handful of Englishmen were also helpless. Had the Sepoys attacked them, all would have been over at one blow ; But hour passed hour, and there was no sign of an assault. At length, as afternoon gave place to evening, a movement began to show itself in the enemy’s lines. Thpn curls of smoke rising above the trees showed that the evening’s meal was in preparation ; then several figures with pitchers in their hands were seen going toward the river, among whom the Colonel’s keen eyes detected Ismail. " By George 1” cried the old soldier, slapping his knee exultingly, "that lad's worth his weight in gold ! There’s his way down to the river right open to him without the least chance of suspicion. Whv, he’s a born gentleman—nothing less!” Every eye within the walls was now turned anxiously upon the distant group, fearing to see at any moment some movement which would show that the trick was detected. How did Ismail mean to accomplish his purpose? Would he plunge boldly into the river, without any disguise, or had he some further stratagem in preparation? No one could say.’ Suddenly, as Ismail stooped to plunge his light wooden dipper into the water, it slipped from his hands and went floating away down the stn am. A cry oi dismay, a loud laugh from the Sepoys, and then the boy was seen running frantically along the bank and trying in vain to catch the vessel as it floated past. • ‘ What on earth’s he up to ? ” grunted the Colonel, completely mystified. " I see ! ” cried Maj. Armstrong, triumphantly; "there’s a boat yonder among the reeds, and he’s making for it. Well done, my brave boy ! ”

But at that moment a yell of rage from the Sepoys told that the trick was discovered. Luckily those on the bank had left their pieces behind, or poor Ismail would soon have been disposed of; but the alarm instantly brought up a crowd of their armed comrades, whose bullets fell like hail around the boat and its gallant little pilot. “Let us fire a volley and make a show of sal yin g out,” said the Colonel; “ it’ll take their attention from him.” But in this he was mistaken. The first rattle of musketry from behind the house did indeed recall most of Ismail’s assailants, but at least a dozen were left, who kept up an incessant firing, striking the boat again and again. All at once the Colonel dashed his glass to the floor with a frightful oath. Between the two gusts of smoke he had seen the l>oat turn suddenly over, and go whirling down the river, keel upward. “ There’s an end of the poor lad,” muttered the veteran brokenly.- “ God bless him for a brave little fellow. And now, old friend, we must just die hard, for there’s no hope left.” The first few hours of the night passed quietly, and the exhausted defenders, utterly worn out, slept as if drugged with opium. But a little after midnight the quick ears of the two veteran officers —the only watchers in the whole garrison except the sentries themselves—caught a faint stirring in the surrounding thickets, which seemed to argue some movement on the part of the enemy. Listening intently for a few moments, they felt certain that they were right, and lost no time in arousing their men. The scanty stores of food were opened once more, and, crouched together in the darkness, the doomed men took what they fully believed to be their last meal on earth. “ They’re coming 1” said Maj. Armstrong, straining his eyes into the gloom through a loop-hole. “ I hear them creeping forward, though I can’t see them.” “What the deuce was that?” exclaimed the Colonel, suddenly. “It looked like a fiery arrow flying past. ” “ It’s than that,” said the Jla-

jor, in a low voice. “ The rascals are shooting lighted chips of bamboo out on to the roof to set it on fire. Send the women up with buckets to the thatch; there’s not a moment to lose. ” “ I’ll go and see to it myself I” cried Mrs. Currie, hastening out of the room. But the power of this new weapon had already become fatally manifest. The house” was an old one, and dry as tinder from the prolonged heat, and as fast as the flames were quenched in one place they broke out in another. When the day dawned the fire had already got a firm hold of one corner of the building, and a crushing discharge was poured upon all who attempted to extinguish it, while the triumphant yell of the human tigers below told them that they felt sure of their prey. " It’s all over with us, old fellow,’’said the Colonel, grasping the old comrade’s hand ; “ but, at least, we shall have done our duty.” " Give me one of your pistols,” whispcred Mrs. Currie to her husband, in a voice that was not her own. “ I must not fall into their hands alive.” At this moment Maj. Armstrong was seen to start and bend forward, as if listening intently; for he thought—al‘.hough he could scarcely believe his ears—that he had suddenly caught a faint sound of distant firing. In another instant he heard it again, and this time there could be no doubt, for several of the othe~s had caught it likewise, and a gleam of hope once more lighted up their haggard faces and bloodshot eyes.. Louder and nearer came the w’elcome sound, while the sudden terror and confusion visible among the enemy showed that they, too, were at no loss to guess the meaning. Then high above the din arose the well-known “ hurrah ! ” and through the sm< ik-e-clouds broke a charging line of glittering bayonets and ruddy English faces, sweeping away the cowardly murderers as the sun chases the morning mist, " That boy’s worth his weight in gold,” said Col. Annesley, as, a few hours later, he listened to Ismail’s account of how he had dived under the boat and kept it between him and the Sepoys, that they might think him drowned. "He’s the pluckiest little fellow I’ve seen, and, although he belongs to the Major, I’m going to take my share of helping him on, by Jove ! ”

HOUSEKEEPERS’ HELPS.

Vanity Carer.—Yolk of eight eggs and one cup of sugar. Knead with flour, and fry in hot f it. Roll them and cut in fancy shape 3 before frying. A correspondent says that he has tried mixing sulphur with salt and giving to his hogs and sheep for lice and ticks, and finds it effective. Cracker Pie.—To a common-sized tin, allow one cup of cracker crumbs, onehalf pint of water, one teaspooful of tartaric acid, one cup of sugar, and spice to the taste. Bake with two crusts. Frosted Apple Pie.—Line a pie with puff paste. Slice in apples, sugar them and add a little butter, no water, and a little lemon essence or juice. Bake, and when done spread a thick frosting of beaten egg and sugar over it, return to the oven till the frosting is warmed through. Apple Short-Cake. —Slice enough tart apples to fill two round pi<| tins. Make a crust out’of one teacupful of sour cream, a teaspoonful of soda, a little salt, and flour to roll out. 801 l out upper crusts, fit over the apples and bake. The fruit should be juicy and no water added. When done turn bottom upwards, sprinkle over sugar and a few bits of butter, turn back again, pile one on the other, and serve warm with cream or as you please. Favorite Pudding.—One-half cup of butter, one cup of sweet milk, three eggs, white and yolks beaten separately, two teaspoonfnls of cream-of-tartar, flour to make a stiff batter; steam until done. Serve immediately, with sauce made as follows: One pint of boiling water, one cup of sugar, buttet the size of an egg, and one glass of wine. Thicken with corn-starch/ A pudding made like the above and baked with fruits, canned peaches, jam. marmalade, or whatever is preferred, spread over it, is very nice indeed. A Mold of Cold Meat.—A pound or a little more of cold meat—beef, mutton, anything except pork—two ounces of macearoni, one teacupful of tine bread crumbs, a tablespoon ini of butter, one ?gg, pepper anil salt. Cut the meat very fine. Wash the macearoni in cold water then boil for half an hour, drain and cut into inch-lengths. Mix with the meat crumbs, butter, pepper and salt, mix thoroughly, bind together with the beaten egg and pack into a wellgreased basin or bowl and steam for an hour. This is very nice for breakfast or tea sliced and eaten cold. To Dry Sweet Potatoes.—A good way to preserve sweet potatoes for futura use when they show signs of decay, is to dry them in the same manner as you would any fruit. Boil, peel, and slice quite thin, and dry on plates around the fire. When wanted for the table, put the quantity desired into a closely covered tin or porcelain stew-pan—iron darkens them—with but little water, not enough to cover them, and let simmer two or three hours; When done the water should ‘ have evaporated, or what little there is left should be of the consistency of syrup. Mash and serve as you would Irish potatoes, omitting the milk. , Boiling M.tK.—The source of the scarlet fever epidemic near London was traced by Dr. Stevenson, a medical officer of health, to the milk sent there from two farms in Oxfordshire. Scarlet fever had previously prevailed in Oxfordshire, and the milk sent out from there was found to contain the infectious germs. The doctor advises all who have the care of invalids or infants to boil their milk before jusing it We are not in favor of sounding useless alarms, but in the case of itifants or delicate persons we think it as well to boil the milk before giving it, especially wflien it may come from several cows.— Hural Neuj Yorker.

Father is Getting Well.

My daughters say: “ How much U tter father is mice he used Hop Bitters. He is getting well alter bis long sufferin 'from a disease declared incurable, ami we are so glad he used your B tters.”—X lady of IMuster, Jf. Y.— Utica Hn~ald.

Sausages.

The following culinary note on sansages may be of interest: “The earliest authority given in Todd's Johnson for ‘sausage’—Richardson does not notice the word—is ‘Baret’s Alvearie,’ 1580 A. D., a ‘pudding called a sawsege.’ Todd also says that the contents are ‘stuffed into skins, And sometimes only rolled in flour.’ In this he is doubtless right, as early makers of sausages can not all have had skins at hand to put them in. But these savory edibles were made long before 1580, and were called ‘weasels,’ whose long, thin Ixidies they resembled, A recipe for making these ‘weasels’ is given in the very curious Liber Cure Cocorum, of about 1450 A. D.. edited for the Philological Society by Mr. Richard Morris, in 1862: First, ‘grind pork, temper it with eggs and powder of pepper and canal; close it in a capon’s neck, or pig’s paunch (or gut), roast it well, ar.d then varnish it with batter of eggs and flour, and serve in .hall or else in bower. ’ ‘Haggis’ was made in 1450, too, as the recipe for it follows that for ‘weasels;’ sheeps’ hearts, kidney, and bowels well boiled, chopped up with parsley, hyssop, savory, suet, pepper, and eggs—with mint, thyme, and sag® also in winter —then boil again, and sprinkled with salt. _______ _______ If you are coughing or not, but feel the presence of a cold in the system, use Dr. Ball's Cough Syrup and feel immediate relief. Price 25 cents a bottle.

FARM NOTES.

A fabmbb of experience in wool-grow-ing has well said there is more money in growing at twenty cents a pound than to loan your money at ten per cent interest The grease which has become hardened by dust on the axles of machinery can all be cleaned off by the use of kerosene. Bunches of grapes were kept three mouths by an Austrian grower who dipped the ends of the stems in wax and packed the fruit in kiln-dried ground bark. Professor Riley says that kerosene or oil of any kind is sure death to insects in all stages and the only substance with which we may hope to destroy the eggs. Oils will not mix directly with water, but will mix with milk, fresh or sour, and then mayjbe diluted to any desired extent. Weak Eyes in Horses.—A gcod authority gives the following as a remedy for horses’ eyes that are weak, winking and inflamed: Take an egg and break the large end enough to admit the handle of a teaspoon; pour out the albumen or white; mix in all the salt you can until it is quite stiff, then set it in the center of a heap of red coals and let it burn until done baking; then when cool grind and blow a piece of it into the eyes once a day. ■ Purifying Rancid Butter.—One of _ur foreign contemporaries gives the following mode of clarifying rancid and tainted butter: "Let the butter be melted and skimmed as for clarifying; then put into it a piece of bread Avell toasted all over, but not burnt. In a few minutes the butter will lose its offensive taste and smell, but the bread will become perfectly fetid.” We have serious doubts with regard to the above process producing the result claimed. Still it is so simple that any one can try it. Keeping Milk. —Milk will absorb bad odors from the air quicker than almost any otheri liquid, therefore great care should be taken that it is net exposed to any condition where it will be likely to be damaged in that way. In manufacturing cream into butter, great care is necessary as to the quality of salt used, as great loss may be entailed by this alone. The salt is a very small item in itself, nevertheless it has cost manv dollars in the course of a year through the damage done by the use of an i: ferior article. Always use the best known brands and keep a close watch upon them at that. The use of firkins, pails or tubs made of any kind of wood that imparts an unpleasant flavor must be avoided, as, after packing, butter is very susceptible in coming in contact with any flavors of this kind. Preserving Pastures.—Among many propositions to renovate the pasture, one has been overlooked—management. It is the cheapest and most practical manure on the farm. The common plan is to have but one pasture, upon which the cattle must graze at nil times. If it comes to the bare sod during the seasons of extreme drought the stock must, continue to grub at the sod for want of better. This exposes the roots of the grass to the sun or injures or destroys the plant. Suppose we use our trees and shrubs in that way, the detriment to growth would be at once apparent. A good top on grass for growth is as necessary as upon trees. That one hundred acres of land in two pastures will keep one-third more stock than the same number of acres in one pasture has long been known to the practical farmer. The reason is that the stock can be removed before it has grazed the pasture too closely, before the roots of the grass are uncovered. A plan that will renovate hundreds of pastures in lowa is this: Let the grass have a good start in the spring, say four inches, before turning on the stock, and change pastures as often as the pasture appears to be closely grazed.— Prof. Knapp, in Homestead. Feeding Bees in Winter.—After an nnpropitious season bees are apt to go into winter quarters illv provided with stores. Well-informed and cautions apiarists, aware of this lack, feed weak colonies during the fall sufficiently to supply the need. It is never desirable to feed liquid stores, either honey or syrup, in winter, and not well to feed at all unless positively demanded. The best way to feed, if we must, is to put candy made from granulated sugar on the frames, just above the cluster. This will be kept warm, and can be taken, and will disturb the bees so little thab if it must be done, it will generally succeed. If the bees can pass the winter until March—and the stores needed during the cold winter are very light compared with those consumed later after brood-reanng commences—then we may feed either honey or syrup. Then the bees can fly occasionally anfkivill receive no harm from liquid food. Tjjlh food, too, will stimulate brood-rearing, and thus work a double benefit. The feeder wll need to be so constructed as to keep the food near the cluster or the bees will not ap propriate it, because of the cold No one should fail io use a division-board in wintaT and spring. Keep the bees crowded on to so few frames that all v ill be covered, and spring dwindling will do little harm.— A. J. Cook, Agricultural College, Lansing, Mich. One Hundred Bushels of Shelled Corn to the Acre —Mr. Nathan G. Pierce tells the Arreriean Ciltivator how he raises one hundred bushels of shelled corn to the acre. He used for seed au eight-rowed corn which he has improved by careful selection, and believes it to be a good variety to raise, anywhere between Virginia and the Canada line. The ground s‘lected for planting was a good pie s of gravelly loam. It was well plowed about the iirsrt of May, harrowe 1, treated to a broadcast application of nine hundred pounds fertilizer to the acre; again harrowed faithfully, rendering the land fine and mellow; rows marked three fw»t apart, a small amount of fertilizer scattered to each row. May 10th, three kernels of corn planted in each hill, two feet apart in the rows; cultivated and hoed four times, allowing no weeds to grow; passed through the entire piece, cutting each hill down to two stalks; every sucker in each hill cut throughout the field. During the entire park .1 of growth tlirough the season the field was closely watched, every weed pulled and every ear of smut cut out At the proper time, after the corn had become hard, it was cut, Ixjnnd in bundles, and stooked. When dry it was drawn into the barn, where, with the assistance of a hired man, the corn was husked, weighed as husked, and found to yield one hundred and ten bushels of shelled com to the acre, allowing seventy-five pounds of ears to equal one bushel of shelled corn.

French Drinks.

In the cases the Parisians drink beer, which chemical analysis shows to be bad and made with anything rather than malt and hops. It is true that you can have English, Flemish and Viennese beer, but, as a rule, the drink of a country is only good in that country, unless it be wine, and many exquisite wines will not bear transportation. Absinthe is very much drunk, insomuch that the heurc de I' absinthe has won for itself a place among the twenty-four hours of a Parisian* day. But the absinthe that yon find in most cases is adulterated and oxidized ; the vermouth, too, is falsified, and the liquors are often “doctored.” Wine, as we have seen, is not drunk in public by respectable people. The French d'ink, par excellence, and the Parisian drink, par essence, is coffee; that slow poison which supported the old age of Voltaire, and which did not prevent Fontenelle from becoming a centenarian. In no country in Europe, exepet Turkey, is c -flee so well roasted, ground and brewed as in France, and in

the commonest cases you will get a cup of coffee which is nectar as compared with the muddy and acrid mixtures which are sold as coffee in London and Berlin. In the Parisian cases two measure s are in vogue—the dem i tasne, served in a cup, and the mazagran, served in a long glass and stirred up with a long spoon as slender and graceful as the body of Sarah Bernhardt. You will find in Some vocabularies for the use of the foreigner that the name mazagran is only applied to cold coffee. This is an error, like that of imagining that a glass holds more than a cup.

HOME GAMES.

“HUNT TH’? FOB.” Take partners and stand opposite each other in line, as in a “contra-dance.” The one at the head is the fox; her partner is the hunter. At a signal she starts and runs or dances down the line, her partner following. She can pass through the line as she pleases, the players standing far enough apart to allow her to pass easily. The hunter must follow the exact course of the fox ; if he /aries, he must pay a forfeit When the fox is caught the first couple goes to the foot, and the next couple goes thro ugh the same. It adds to the jollity of the game to keep time to some merry tune like “Fisher’s Hornpipe.” “ MUSICAL FRIGHT.” This is an admirable game, for it affords laughter for all ages. A young lady is requested to take her place at the piano ; some chairs are placed down the center of the room, back to back, just one less in number than the players. Suppose there are twelve to play, you place eleven chairs, ten back to back, and one extra. All dance around the chairs, hand in hand, while the lady at the piano plays a lively tune. Suddenly, sometimes in the middle of a bar—always just when least expected—the player lifts her hand? off the piano. Everybody must try and get a seat, and, as there are only eleven, one will, of course, be left out. Then a chair is removed, only ten being left. The music begins again, the dancers resume their dance until another sudden stop, when another rush is made for teats, and, of course, another unfortunate is left out in the cold.. So the game proceeds, until but two dancers and one chair are left. Then the tug of war begins in earnest, and the excitement is at its height. At this stage both parties must be watched, lest in their eagerness they should touch the chair before the stopping of the music, which would be unfair. To make the game more exciting, a box of candy may be given to the triumphant occupant of the last remaining chair, sufficient for her to distribute to the company. “questions and answers.” All take partners and sit opposite each other. Then one person whispers a different question in the ear of each of those on one side of the room, and another person gives an answer to each on the opposite side. The first couple commence ; one asks the question whispered to him, his partner gives the answer! whispered to her. A lady should direct the gentlemen, and a gentleman the ladies. Each side asks the questions alternately; the side that was fiist to ask the questions being next to give the answers.

Answer This.

Did yon ever know any person to be ill without inaction of the Stomach, Liver or Kidneys, or di 1 you ever know one who was well when either was obstructed or inactive ; and did you ever know or hear of any case of that kind that Hop Biters would not cure ? Ask your neighbor this same question.— Times.

For Evening Gatherings.

A list of amusing forfeits, which will make the company laugh and not offend the person called upon to pay them, are herewith given i 1. Put a newspaper upon the floor in such a way that two persons can easily stand upon it and not be able to touch each other with their hands. By putting the paper in the doorway, one half inside and the other half outside of the room, aud closing the door over it, the two persons can easily stand upon it and still be beyond each other’s reach. 2. To go out of the room with two legs aud come in with six. Not very difficult to do if one thinks to bring along a chair on the return. 3. To act the dumb servant. The person who has the forfeit to pay must act out the answers to the questions put by the master of the ceremonies, as “ How do you make bread?” “How do you make soup ? ’ etc. This forfeit will cause much merriment if proper questions are put. 4. Put one hand where the other cannot touch it. One can get out of this difficulty by putting one hand on the elbo w of the other arm. 5. Place a pencil on the floor so that one cannot jump over it May be done by putting it close to the wall of the room. & Put a question that no one can answer with a “no." This is not hard if one thinks to ask, “What does y-e-s spell ?"’ 7. Push a chair through a finger ring. This forfeit is made by putting the ring on the finger aud pushing the chair—any other cbject will do as well—with the finger. 8. Put yourself through a keyhole. This was a great puzzle to us for a while, but when a piece of paper was taken with the word “yourself” written upon it, and pushed through the bole, it was all clear.

A Strong Conqueror.

[From the Milwaukee Evening-Wisconsin.] According to an Illinois exchange, our days of Rheumatism are well nigh numbered. St. Jacobs Oil enters a rheumatic territory, and conquers every subject. That’s right. We believe in it.

Colored Philosophy.

“Sometimes (says Brother Gardner) my ole woman gits de blues an’ blows aronn’ kase she sees odder folks ride out in deir keeridges an’ dress up in deir satins; but I build up a good fire, git out de apples, cider an’ pop-cora, draw up de big rookin’-cheer, an’ she can’t stun* it ober ten minita. De blues begin to fly away, an’ she pats de bald spot on my head an’ says: ‘We has a cabin of our own, plenty to eat, a leetle money in the bank, an’ I ’spect we kin sot down an’ take as much solid comfort as if you war Guv’ner, an’ I had ten silk dresses.’ He who makes de most of what he’s got am fittin’ hisself to enjoy better. No situashun but what could l»e made worse. Ebery dollar rnftfle by honest work ought to bring two dollars wort of solid comfort.”

More People Die

from diseased Kidneys than of consumption, but not one fatal case in a thousand would occur if Warn r’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure was taken in time. By all means try it “Johnny, you must never use tobacco,” said a fond mother; “even the hogs don’t do that.” “I know they don’t, mamma, and hogs don’t go to heaven neither,” and Johnny wjiit out soon after and hid two cigar stumps under the door-step.

pr BULL'S COUGH SYRUP

Music Hath Charms, Etc.

[From the St. Louis Western Watchman.] One of the great uianuftuluring interests of Boston is tlie Emerson Piano Company, whose pianos are used with high appreciation and satisfaction throughout the world. In a recent conversation with Mr. Jos. Gramcr, one of the proprietors, that gentleman remarked: I have used that splendid temedy, St. Jacoba Oil, in my family, and found it to l>c so very beneficial that 1 will never be without it. It has cured me of a severe case of rheumatism, after other remedies had failed.

Had Such Pretty Ways With Her.

“She had such pretty ways with her.” That was the reason an honest, hardworking man gave for marrying a girl of whom he knew little else, but who was really a professional bigamist, traveling about the country and marrying husband alter husband as a matter of speculation. It is the “ pretty ways ” cf woman which has ruined many a man of every age, including the greatest of Generals, statesmen and philosophers. If the “pnetty wavs” come from the heart it is all right. If they are the result of cold, selfish, calculating art, woe is to him who falls their victim. Nothing is truer than that women are both better and worse than men. A man could hardly be so bad as a woman is when she puts on the prettiest ways of her sex for mischief.
